The point is that the current way the world is set up is not working for the majority of its populace based on the state it is in right now. Yes, Bush looks incredibly incompetent. But would it make sense for him to be as incompetent as he looks when considering the nation's current interests? It wouldn't make sense to me. I hope it doesn't make sense to you. The movie is very exaggerated in a you-tube way I agree, but in no way do I disagree that the world has been brought to its knees in terms of real human truth and love because of corruption and power hunger. I have lived in enough places around the world to have witnessed power hunger first hand and that is what is happening to the United States today in my opinion. The real truth is out there and this movie will help bring that truth out. People should just believe in what they truly feel is the truth in their hearts and let the rest follow. Believe what you will but don't be afraid to think about what you believe and question it because that's what this life is all about.</p> Whether you agreed with the movie’s cheap methods and tactics to convince you is beyond the point.

I see a bunch of inflammatory, opinionated musing but not much in the way of what exactly you thought was bullshit about the movie. You agreed with essentials of every one of the movies main points so what exactly about it did you dislike? The content or the propaganda techniques?</p> What proof do you have to back up your claims that the movie was bogus?

They site all kinds of evidence, but ask us to casually buy into points that are never solidly proven. Here’s my nerd side coming out, but they’ll say “If X happened, then B is true.” Then they’ll “prove” that X happened, but never prove their theory that X causes B.

And is it really shocking news to anyone that religions are connected or our money is in the hands of a few? Yeah right, next you’ll tell me only five people control all of our media conglomerates, or that the government could legally spy on me for security reasons…

In the lead up to his first term, he was a very convincing everyman and he does a great job of making the White House look incompetent.</p> Ahh yes but Bush makes an amazing puppet, doesn’t he?

Hello. It was Bush. A war-monger. Blow up some shit on U.S. soil = outraged Americans = incitement of “revenge” = not well thought out plans = current war = recession.

You can’t make good decisions in the heat of the moment… not unless you’re trained really fucking well to do so and Bush? Trained? What? WHO?!

I don’t fuckin’ think so.
