Just wondering if Jesse Ventura ever asked to be on ATS or tried to join.

a more somber, soft-spoken, better-groomed persona would have more gravitas. he's loud, he's ponytailed with a bald head, and he looks like he just rode in on a harley....
Maybe we need someone a bit "different" to get the message across. He seems really passionate with what he says (he emotions do get the best of him at times, I really thought he was gonna deck the guy when he called Jesse naive), maybe that is what we need.

I don't care for him in all this conspiracy stuff. He is obviously either not thinking it out enough or he's just play acting it up for the cameras. Sorry OP ... that's what I see.

I can't tell if the title was intentionally misleading or merely a clever accident.

I saw his conspiracy theory show once. ONCE. He was on a boat that was getting too close to restricted waters and the US Military followed him in their boat and pretty much chased him away. He kept screaming at the camera ... (paraphrase) 'I'm a former US Govenor, how can I be a threat, they are only chasing me because I'm going to expose some truth here'. Something like that. It was so absurd.
1 - How on earth would that boat of military personal know that he is on the other boat?
2 - The fact that he's a former gov. has NOTHING to do with anything.
It was absurd.
I liked him as Govenor. I don't care for him in all this conspiracy stuff.

Jesse is on tv a lot talking about "false flag this" and "cover up that". Its annoying when people try to pretend he is some how being censored or is the "face" of conspiracy theorists.
In fact, he gets far too much airtime as it is. He makes me not take the subject seriously because he never really accomplishes anything yet he seems to view himself as some sort of revolutionary.
I also find it funny how he loves to parade around with his "I was a governor!" line. He has done it quite frequently ... I'm a former Governor, how much of a threat can I be ... I'm a former Governor, how can you stop me from seeing this place ... crap like that. He thinks very highly of himself, and wants others to think the same.

I do not see it as him parading around saying "I am the governater" I look at it a few ways.
The stuff he/we talk about is highly controversial at this day and age. To go against "group think" can make one frustrated.
Lets face it.. we are looked at as tinfoil hat wearing fools for some of the things we "think" about the topics at hand. Why would "thinking" differently then the "hive" be considered a threat to the "hive mind", they are just thoughts after all right?
That is why I find "some" of what he does important. Yea his "show" is all smoke and mirrors, but when it comes down to it.. what isn't these days honestly?
If I had held a position such as his, I would be saying it as much as a could too. It gives credibility to "some" of the things he brings into public awareness.
He may not be the most calm, easy going, believable "character", but maybe that is how it should be.
If the populace needs to be handed information on a silver platter to believe it, maybe that populace doesn't deserve whats located under it.edit on 6-12-2012 by SyntheticPerception because: (no reason given)
