God, getting through all that cheese was a challenge.

There are a lot of things about the film I didn't like. The argumentation is often incomplete or simply doesn't make sense. There also seems to be a general lack of understanding of some core concepts, such as how the financial system works or why poverty exists (I'm pretty sure it's not due to a lack of free energy). As with most conspiracy theories the main motivation seems to be that the author simply cannot come to grips with some some kind of evil in the world and has to construct a system of bad guys who can be blamed for the problem.

Nevertheless it still raises some interesting points. I particularly liked the practical approach towards the end, with a bunch of suggestions on how to help (though I do question some of the methods). Also the production is surprisingly well done for this kind of a film (even if it's dreadfully tacky). The website is also worth mentioning, as it seems to be well designed and structured and full of complimentary material for further research (I haven't really browsed around much though, so I might be getting a wrong impression).

I'm very sceptical about these kinds of films (or theories in general) but I'm still glad they get made and published - even if the sole benefit is to get people thinking about the many issues that are mentioned - and this seems to be one of the better ones. Also it's great that it has been made available for free. Thanks for posting.

Good observations. Yes, the "blame game" and "victim consciousness" is pervasive among modern filmmakers and is part of the destructive Liberal mindset that has gripped Western Civilization.

I think it is pretty obvious that Poverty is a State of Consciousness. That is why so many lottery winners end up declaring bankruptcy about five or ten years later. Violent crime and substance abuse is rampant. Petty theft, white collar crime, shoplifting, etc. is going on all around us, every day, all day long. Fifty years of government social programs have done absolutely nothing to improve the general welfare and often has made things worse.

Until a critical percentage of humanity can learn how to look within for the cause of the collective woes of society little to no real progress can be made. The New Millennium will only be ushered in when enough individuals start to grow up and take personal responsibility for their own condition and circumstances.

 You are right this is a VERY long movie. I liked the part on a "free energy system" and can understand how the "powers that be" would block this at every corner. That alone would change the world we live in drastically. Unfortunately I don't see a lot of people watching the entire program, which is a shame. It's just a bit too long to hold interest. I would tell anyone watching it, that it is good to watch the entire thing. He may hit a point or too that you don't agree with, but there is a lot of info here to take in.  The final 1/4 of the movie is based on what we can do to right this ship. I found all the talk about finances and such to get a bit deep for most people. But look at it this way, this man has put a ton of time and research into attempting to help with a serious problem. He could have been like the majority of "sheople" and did nothing and hope that solves it. His website is quite informative as well. He does back up his claims quite well and has a number of well known keynote speakers in his presentation that are worthy of mention.
