I found a hidden message in the venus program ideals is that it would only work if the world population was downsized to a managable amount.
Can you expect, for example, families that have starved in africa for generations, and watched as the west exploded wealth-wise all of a sudden claim, you dont need wealth and riches?
Seems these ideologies are born out of a first-world mindset and not considerate of poorer nations at all..
so i wonder...and it brings me back to questions of if this is a commercial full of lies to get us to accept the NWO? are they pro-depopulation?

I watched the entire film, and I both loved and hated it. I found the part about our financial system very educational and enlightening. But the crap about the venus project was a joke to me. I would not want to live in that type of society where everything was homogeneous and all daily tasks were automated. Too boring. I like diversity too much to buy into that system. That guy who heads that venus project was your typical cult leader. He reminded me of the guy who led the heavens gate cult who all committed suicide to take a ride in the comet. Cut out all the venus project malarkey and you have a good film.

Uhm, isn't it that's where the entire world is heading right now? With the economic collapse drama, money would be worthless... Nations will start warring with each other because of the perceived scarcity, reducing further human population in preparation for the resource-based economy?

And I'm personally not completely convinced simply by the assertions of a few people that we really have the technology to make a successful run just yet at a resource based economy. Soon, perhaps, but unless there truly is some grand conspiracy holding back substantial technology from us, we have more work to do. I always thought we were going to need a successful assembler project first before this could be done successfully. It would be nice to be wrong.

... and is being actively supressed. For instance, Nikola Tesla's Dynamic Theory of Gravity has been locked up by the FBI for national security reasons... for almost 100 years.
Now this is only a paper, a theory, not even technology per se... kind of makes you wonder, what else they've got hidden away.
