I don't care about the religious crap, that to me is irrelevant, everything else they said isn't....since it's a load of anti-US propaganda.

My problem is that it seems every CT moviemaker went to the same CT film school or something. Can we just get a ilm that doesn't start with 10 minutes of quotes displayed to over dramatic background music?

Had you also considered that most "CT" movies and documentaries are made on a low, often shoestring, budget, for obvious reasons?

Where are the sources in the movie itself? Where are the unbiased sources that can be confirmed with one or more other independent sources that would make all these claims made in this film even worth considering? What I find concerning is that audiences will swallow everything films such as this toss out, especially when they are promoting anti-US sentiment..But who would go down their huge list of claims and mark them off one by one to see if their so called sources match up word by word and relay the exact information they are proposing. I wouldn't be surprised if few did such a thing since people have better things to do than go around and validate information that is addressed in an absolute manner.

Do I trust the government? No.
Do I believe the U.S. is capable of doing such horrendus acts? Two words: Pearl Harbor
I just don't see any true advantage to attacking your own country. Please tell me, what did America gain? Please tell me as I watch this video.
Has anyone seen it that can "debunk" this?????????

I must say, this thread is quite different than what I've become accustomed to here on ATS, usually folks will "debunk" something rather than "dismiss" it. This was a long watch. I found the subject very interesting, but even though i am very interested in this subject material, the movie was kind of boring. But I sat thruogh the whole thing and when I read this thread here on ATS I must admit I was hoping to see your usual group of debunkers at work, but instead I found folks refusing to watch. What's with that? This movie is pretty believable. Has anyone seen it that can "debunk" this?????????

- It sells money to the US government and sets the interest rate
- The government pays the interest by buying more money from the Fed
- This interest attracts interest.
You can see the problem.
The bother points made there are even more off base and not worth getting into.

Two posts ago, you offered to address specific points, as long as there weren't too many.
Is it unreasonable to ask you to address the five points I set out, rather than simply dismiss them without explanation?
- Perhaps you could tell us a little more about the Fed and why it is not, in essence, a private business. How, for example, is its board made up?
- If the Fed doesn't make decisions about the money supply, who does?
- If the Fed doesn't set interest rates, who does?
- Who is responsible for paying this interest?
- How is this interest paid for?
I'm a UK resident and can accept I might have been sucked in by 'propagana'. The points I originally set out, whilst simplified, are broadly as I understood them to be before I watched the film. So I ask the questions above not out of some attempt to antagonise you, but becuase I want to know the answers.
- The Fed is a private business
- It prints money and makes its own decisions about supply
- It sells money to the US government and sets the interest rate
- The government pays the interest by buying more money from the Fed
- This interest attracts interest.
The bother [sic] points made there are even more off base and not worth getting into.

It seems rather apparent that you have quite a lot of your being invested in dismissing and debunking nigh every point brought forth here. Even your drawn out explanation of how the Federal Reserve is only a 'kind of' private (i.e. controlled by 'special interests' behind closed doors) bank is lacking truth. Presidents, governors, and congresspeople are elected officials - are they also totally beyond the taint of corruption? Are you really attempting to say that just because the OVERSEERS are elected by the public (in a voting system that is becoming increasingly flawed and privately regulated) that all is well and the system stands as a pristine gem in the liberated world? Elected officials ATPIT (at this point in time) are very vulnerable to bribery and threats... and I hear that is quite the rage in Washington DC nowadays...
The mind is an evidential device - as many researchers, doctors, and scientists have already discovered. What this means is that the mind will only allow YOU (the observer) to witness evidence (or the lackthereof) that you want to see. Some people deny the existence of a cover-up solely because it would undermine the very fabric of their reality structure. If that structure was undermined, it would cause a person to re-assess their fears - and ATPIT many humans would rather suffer unconscious (unaware) pain than look at their fear in earnest.
If you (snoopy) do not believe in El Nino, UFOs, God, and 9/11 being an inside job then it is impossible for you to see any evidence contrary to your beliefs - even IF and WHEN there is a mountain of evidence proving the opposite.
That is why IT IS IMPERATIVE for the TRUTH MOVEMENT to stay centered IN THE TRUTH! What am I after? Why, the Truth of course! (^_^) And it is quite obvious that the current explanations and actions by our own (the U.S.A's) government are lacking consistency and honor. Many of the avenues we could have used to validate what we were told have been deleted and/or confiscated. That in itself seems rather curious... We are told to work solely on 'good faith' from a system that has made no-bid contracts and overpaid dearly for hammers, nails, and toilet seats...
There is much much evidence that points to 9/11 being an inside job... And even if it was not, there is much much evidence of extreme and complete incompetence on nigh every level of our government. Either way, the people we have elected are corrupt to the core in their positions of power and are either hiding their own incompetence or darker agendas.
Do not seek to prove anything, as that will lead you to biased and corrupted data.
Seek the truth, and that is exactly what will be found...
