Fuck the New World Order















Ha ha. Actually I'm getting really sick of the New World Order thing. All the conspiracies in the world leading to the same thing is boring and stupid. I'm watching Wake Up Call which is pretty disappointing, because it's entirely made of clips from other conspiracy movies. And The Matrix. The whole first section is just taken from Zeitgeist, like actually fifteen minutes straight or something, and it makes several more appearances. I'm sort of skimming through the sixteen YouTubes now. The creator, John Nada, also borrows from Loose Change, Monopoly Men, The Capitalist Conspiracy, and just about everything Alex Jones has ever done. Considering that it appears he has done almost no actual research aside from watching other people's conspiracy theory movies, I seriously question his motive in making Wake Up Call. Though his MySpace page does describe him as a "Researcher, writer, video editor, graphic/website designer, truth-seeker, free-thinker, dreamer." So I guess that makes sense.

This shit is like two and half hours long. What the fuck.

More Zeitgeist. I've already seen all of this shit.

Well, I have learned one thing.
















This guy, Louis McFadden, is quoted by Dylan Avery as being one of the few US Congressman who stood up against the Federal Reserve Act (which according to New World Order conspiracists is how the banker elite have turned the american people into slaves). But I just read McFadden's Wikipedia page, and apparently he believed that Jews controlled the banking system and secretly controlled the American economy and government. He also supported Hitler's anti-Jewish policies. So... Not exactly an upstanding guy. This is also funny considering Zeitgeist's portrayal of the Bush family's association with Nazi later in the film.

It's scary that these conspiracy theories often converge with anti-Semitism and other freaky shit. I guess the whole point is that these guys are crazy and paranoid. I see it is as fiction and they see it as reality. But it would be so much more entertaining to me if they would come up with some interesting shit. And a lot less frightening and depressing.

Oh, also, this guy, Jason Burke, apparently claims there's no such thing as Al Qaeda, which I've never heard before:

















I also really can't get over how stupid this whole RFID/gps chip thing is.

















I don't even feel like talking about it. I can't watch this anymore. Maybe I'll have energy to watch that Obama one and the Alex Jones one later.

Wake Up Call/The Matrix



I also found this. I don't know anything about it yet, but it contains the entire blue pill/red pill scene from the Matrix, as it's introduction, which is amazing.

I've never talked about the Matrix at all, because I saw it when I was fourteen, enjoyed it, and then never thought about it again, but it is kind of the ultimate conspiracy, or at least it's a metaphor for all other conspiracies, the paranoia of knowing or believing that some secret thing is actually controlling reality. And the idea "taking the red pill" or seeking the truth is heroic is interesting to consider when talking about a dude like Alex Jones or any of the YouTube conspiracists.
