    Looking at basic statistical curve it's obvious that majority of "nay" sayers above don't actually know what they are talking about - most likely they are blind and seeking ways how to stay blind. Still those few "nay" sayers above who actually know a thing or two indeed have a point. The original video is filled with information but much of it is slanted into very specific patterns of thinking. The biggest fallacy of the video is that we are somehow blindly lead by some secretive organization. Well, if you know a thing or two about the systems you will know that majority of people WILLINGLY follow the systems even if the systems propagates lies and falsities. So the issues is not "some evil superpower" but our own willingness to perpetuate our own "slavery." I put quotation marks around the term because ultimately it IS dependent on perspective. The blind willingly supporting its oppressive system is not only partially free but also reaping in the benefits of his/her support. It's the "enlightened" who has to make a moral judgement between supporting what is evil that is a slave as despite that knowledge he/she often still chooses to support the oppressive systems for their own selfish benefits.

    Why is this not true?

    The basic facts that Mr Fagan uses are essentially true. The politics and business interests of the era support that. These basic facts are the building blocks he uses to construct a plausible sounding argument for the influence and strategies necessary for an 'illuminati' to exist.
    The problem with that big picture 'illuminati' solution is its only one of the possible options. Amongst others, a more likely big picture solution is that the hundreds of opposing agendas from countries and businesses across the globe make the result a bubbling stew of random events.
    Much like Orions Belt, it is just perception. If you look at any cluster of stars you will be able construct any dot to dot image you require. The mundane truth of it is, is that it's just random.

    • I think there is an element in what you say about perception. I wouldnt know how much of the equation it is. I can only put in perspective of individualsyurimon
    • blindly following and feeding a system that is really working against their best interest while defending it in like some Stockholm syndrome type manor.yurimon
    • Sorry, but I don't see what you see Yuri. It's intriguing, its complex and it's comforting to have someone in charge. But it's not real.Morning_star
    • How is that powerful people who write books and have political influence, often move money in the direction and what they write about in some becomes reality?yurimon
    • er in some way.yurimon
    • Wouldn't you? Look at Rumsfeld, more money than you can shake a stick at BUT its a bi-product of his political and business affiliations. Not the result of a...Morning_star

    re Morning_star comment:
    This opinions doesn't take under consideration that MAJOR events of the world did happen at the insistence of the powerful forces.
    For instance Columbus didn't simply hooked up with some rich banker to finance his journey - he smartly looked for the backing of a powerful force (kind and queen of Spain) to give validity to his territorial claims.

    To simply say that those powerful forces don't create certain patterns of behavior is historically a bit naive.

    • That's not conspiracy, that's a mutually beneficial venture. history shows us the facts.Morning_star
    • I think from what i gathered is there is a power base that creates policy that can backfire or go in smooth. however what backfires can still be accomplished byyurimon
    • other means and is just a delay of policy. the chaos or the wild card is people. will people catch wind and act in time to prevent anything thats not in theiryurimon

    Look, the fact remains that if powerful people want to commune, fraternize and organize it's a free world and they can do it.

    You're kind of asking folks to prove a negative. Providing evidence that something doesn't exist is really difficult.

    For example:

    Theorist: "Prove George Washington wasn't gay."

    Skeptic: "He had a wife!"

    Theorist: "So? He could have been sucking his slaves dick. Prove he didn't."

    Skeptic: "well, there's no historical evidence on the matter either way."

    Theorist: "See! You can't prove it didn't happen!"

    I'm not saying anything against your video one way or the other. In fact, I'm not going to watch it. Just trying to point out that what your asking for is going to be hard to come by.

    • My example is pretty thin. When something doesn't exist, it's really hard to find evidence of it's absence. Absence of evidence isn't necessarily evidence...jtb26
    • of absence. If you want real answers talk to historians. Designers will be of little use.jtb26

  • TheGreatGlorpo5

    Yuriman, I need you to prove that this isn't true. Are you up for the challenge?

    This is from someone in the know. Their words:
    I was told recently by an Agency Insider that there is a global conspiracy regarding what is done with circumsised foreskins.

    Basically the God of Abraham (the God of Christians, Muslims and Jews) is an extraterrestrial creature that feeds on foreskins.

    Somewhere in a secret location priests in ancient robes shovel foreskins into the creature's mouth every second of every minute of every day.

    If they ever cease the supply of foreskins pouring into the beasts maw, the creature will destroy the earth.

    Thats why Christians oppose abortions and birth control. The whole "pro life" movement is too make sure enough children are born to provide the needed foreskins, which increases every year.

    That is why there has been a massive population explosion. the worlds leaders are scrambling to ensure an adequate supply of flesh foreskins.

    Have you been circumcised? If so the creature has tasted of your flesh, and an unbreakable bond has been created between you.

    When you die your soul will emit a resonance that the creature recognizes from the taste of your foreskin and it calls you to it. You will then reside for eternity in a false heaven created by the alien creature for its
    amusement.

    Fortunately I have not been circumcised, so I will go to real heaven.

    This is insider information. I am in great danger for even posting this.

    I personally dont believe this Insider at all. I believe in a loving God who has Forgiven our sins through Jesus Christ and the Teachings of Mohammad and the Torah and Quran and the Laws and the Prophets.

    But the Gnostics say that the God of the bible is a false god, really the devil.
