Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura

How do I put this.

Lets say you go to Church, the priest is trying to sell you god and all the bible stories, but he does this while wearing a red nose, Pink John Lennon glasses and a head made of a dead skunk.

Jesse Ventura is such a bad actor and such a bad 'face' for this show that it becomes more difficult to believe these conspiracies.

9-11. A relatively OK episode but of all the things Ventura could have done Ventura stupidly chooses to yell at a closed door of a hanger where some debris lies around, and has a half ass interview with an FBI agent. The subject remains interesting and the truth isn't out, not at all.

Bilderberg. Dummy Venture meets with Alex Jones. Alex Jones is the least credible person on this earth. Bilderberg is a group of globalists who discuss whatever they discuss. It was created by the Dutch Royals, people not powerful or big enough. Queen Beatrix had no power, has no influence in business or government, in 2012 whatever little power she had was stripped away from her. What use could she be for the group she herself (and Bernard) have started? None. There is no conspiracy here. As a member of the Bilderberg said: If we are a secret society that want to dominate the world, we are doing a horrible job at it.

Manchurian Candidate, another BS episode with BS people. Surely mindcontrol has been explored, why wouldn't they? But Jesse makes a big old mess of it by interviewing a bunch of lunatics.

If one wants to do a show on CT, do it seriously and leave out the bloody Hollywood element. Above all, have a credible person with an IQ higher than a goldfish present it.

It's great show. The big problem is its overly dramatic and like all American Reality show it feels fakeish. Take June Sarpong only just gone over to the US. In the UK she was a Presenter on a kids show T4. So could she have developed "the man in the white van" contact who worked in almost every secret project. That felt fake to me. But are there people like that and would help investigators, take deep throat, so yes. Then every show starts with a clandestine encounter that felt a little fake to me until the Manimal and a guy on a BMX shouted at the contact. But if you Google search moat of these people turn out to be what they claim. I think the investigations are factual but the slip in filmed bits that are fake as hell, to make it feel like a deep throat style show. The main point in all the investigation is its all plausible, the ones that they prove are possible. Take "The Reptilian Elite" there was literally no evidence except for 1 psychic running away as she claimed she could "hear" them. There was no proof the video expert guy said 90% of them on the net had been artificially changed. Yet the one person who came up with it is raking up millions a year on the conspiracy. Conspiracy theories are notoriously hard to prove out right but you cannot completely disprove then 100%. Also the first 2 seasons were better. They had 2 different Guys a Daniel and Alex who were sceptical of all of it at the beginning but with the right evidence would start leaning and be like OK the evidence isn't 100%. Sean Stone and Tyrrel Ventura started taking the group into areas that didn't need to go. But overall its not bad.

There aren't many series specifically covering popular conspiracy theories, but Ventura seems to cover the broad strokes well enough for the runtime. The nature of the subject matter is polarizing but Ventura is an interesting enough character who doesn't bring too much of the wrong baggage to this subject matter - some of the people he interviews for the show are perhaps a bit unsuitable and detract from the serious inquiry of the stories they are trying to convey, but his team's adversarial approach to scrutinizing the accounts and motives seems to ground the presentation well enough while being playful and accessible - you're never going to be able to go over all the details in the time allotted, and all the pieces matter usually when it comes to conspiracy so armchair experts will find much to be desired, but otherwise it's decent edutainment.

This show is very much a product of its time (simpler times of 2009) and probably not the sort of thing a lot of networks would be comfortable airing in the 'post-truth' era, certainly not without a lot more careful editorial oversight - some of the people interviewed for this show have been so thoroughly cancelled that we're not going to see them again; personalities like David Icke are arguably so demented that even back in 2009 he shouldn't have been platformed on this show at least not without a strong disclaimer; because popular conspiracy theorists like Icke and Alex Jones are important to the story of how CT's are sustained and propagated, whether they be dangerously ignorant peddlers like the aforementioned, or whistleblowers or journalists whose suppression might not be fully realized today these characters are relevant to the stories so there is an argument for their inclusion in any holistic presentation even if you were making this show today, but since a lot of those guys make their money peddling disinformation and selling products off their personal brands they should come with clear disclaimers.

Governor Jessie Ventura goes out with his team of investigators to uncover secret corporate or government projects that (usually) is in opposition to the welfare of the public.

Many of the weapons, or programs that's featured in this series has been out on the public domain, but not part of the mainstream media. HAARP, Genetically enhanced animal soldiers, mind control weapons, deep underground military bunkers. All has been taken to public by other whistle blowers. But whet these low profile whistle blowers lacks is the brand recognition governor Jessie Ventura has. Jessie Ventura can take some extreme subject, and present them in a way that's easy to understand to anybody..

There are lot of mention of secret government/black project in this series. I somehow feel that these subjects that're taken up on these programs are subterfuge to take our eye off the real issues.

The real conspiracy that's important to us now is that

1. Government has been stealing money from the public through various means. Take for example there're no reason for the American citizens to "borrow" money from the FRB, and their tax used to pay back the loan. Economic terrorism has been rendered to other countries as well (Google "Confession of an Economic Hit-man" for some eye opening whistle blower information). The economic downturn we're experiencing is because it's been planned it seems.

2. The underground facilities that almost every nation now has that are made to house exclusively the government and scientific elites in the upcoming war and natural disasters (Google: "A letter from a Norwegian politician" for example). This topic has been taken up on this program, but it doesn't make the connection between them, and the politicians who has the "ticket" into these bunkers.

If you feel that nothing bad is coming down the pike, all of these are rhetoric of a paranoid conspiracy theorists, but look into what local governments are now starting to do to stand up against the Federal Government (like in the case of Missouri), and you might be able to assess where you are in the learning curve of the big picture of what's going on in our world today.

This program is an excellent overview of the various points of secret projects that are done by the (mostly) government, and is recommended for viewing.

While Ventura attempts to draw viewers in with an often aggressive 'I'm going to get to the bottom of this' attitude, the show's research methodology and lack of hard evidence beg ridicule. Those sources interviewed by the show tend to lack credibility, such as an accredited degree in the subject matter, and few such sources are able to provide any verifiable evidence. On occasion, the show triumphs by denying the conspiratorial claims and, in so doing, brings them further ridicule. However, the show consistently provides inflamed or outright false information when representing their claims. I have found that this show can be quite useful as a tool for sharpening one's critical thinking skills. Such skills are not taught in the show, but can be exercised by attempting to prove or disprove that which is demonstrated by Mr. Ventura and his team.
