Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State

First of all, ignore the idiot who wrote the previous review- Alex Jones is relevant and captivating, not to mention quite reliable. The film documents a blatant series of absurd contradictions in the Goverments retelling of 9-11, the brutal treatment of protesters during the RNC, and the state of open martial law which is quickly enveloping America. You'd think this film was directed by a radical left liberal right? INCORRECT! Jones is in fact attempting to construct a NEW political paradigm by showing how deep our government's treason (both in this and the former administrations) truly is. Alex Jones makes some initially completely outrageous claims (ie: 9-11 was an inside job) but he backs everything up with REAL footage, credible sources (ie:BBC,ABC,CBS,CNN not "Bubba's conspiracy journal") and interviews with people such as David Gurgen, NYC police chiefs during the RNC,top engineers, and former Attorney Generals. This film is a must see.

This film doesn't even profess to offer an objective or impartial account of contemporary events and shouldn't be dismissed out-of-hand for not aspiring to such a chimerical, and practically impossible, goal. Given the overt bias that pervades and plagues the mainstream media, perhaps such self-acknowledged subjectivity is a necessary, if not less deviant, methodological approach.

In terms of tone, rhetoric and visual presentation, this documentary issues a rather paranoid, anxious, but nonetheless credible view of the state of the world in which we and our subsequent offspring will live (or perhaps, be condemned?).

Jones uses well-researched, factually-supported arguments, most of which can be verified using mainstream media archives, to irrefutably prove the use of explosives to bring down the Twin Towers and (the third) Building No.7 on the 11th of September 2001. However, this aspect only represents a portion of the film's running time - the rest is dedicated to perhaps more shocking, obscure, (yet consistently supported and appropriately-cited) discussions on the subversive funding of Adolf Hitler by American Internationalists and their relationship with the Bush family: a family that today hold an increasingly arbitrary grip on power in the world's most powerful nation.

Critics of Jones' work tend to resort to two tactics. The first is 'ad hominem': instead of presenting a logical counter-argument to his well-cited and widely-researched discussion, they attempt to attack the character of the man himself, conveniently bypassing the facts rendered. The second is to ridicule the aesthetic presentation and format of his production: an approach which works toward the same end, and intriguingly avoids confuting the empirical arguments presented in the work.

Very much recommended. For more specialised and detailed documentaries scrutinising the official story of 9/11, see the fantastic (and very much BANNED in the Land of the Free) "Loose Change: 2nd Edition" and an equally authoritative lecture recorded at Wisconsin University, Madison and given by the respected academic Dr. Ray Griffin (author of "The New Pearl Harbour" and "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions And Distortions").

I've noticed that more then half of the reviews on film is a 1/10 even though it has a 7.7/10 on this very website.

If you all thought this film was a total joke you wouldn't taken the time to write all those bad reviews. In my opinion if think you are scared because this film is so strong and make very good points and facts, or you just have a lot of trust in the wrong people.

This is a very good documentary!, and it does have a lot of interesting facts in it, sure some things aren't proved but as long as the Us government doesn't tell the truth(or the whole story) we have more reason to believe Alex Jones then them, i mean at least Alex Jones isn't hiding anything, and at least Alex Jones story makes sense.

And if you prefer Michael Moores movies just because those are more professionaly made, you are totally missing the point of an documentary film, as you see in this film: Mr.Moore wouldn't bring up the "hard facts" about 9/11 in his movie Fahrenheit 911 because they weren't true, but because that would be un-American. Its a shame really because before that i respected that man highly.

And for those who say that if Alex Jones is right about the evil police state, why is he still alive? Well its pretty obvious that the government would look even worse if Alex Jones was killed, Especially since cover-ups aren't these guys strongest field.

Ask questions, Demand answers!

Martial law 9/11: rise of the police state is a documentary that puts the false flag atrocity of September 11 2001 in the context of current events of every day life in America, seen by footage from the streets of New York during the Republican convention of 2004 and related events at that time. I'll leave it up to the viewers to agree or disagree with this, but regardless, it's an excellent film.

It is, as some people here have suggested, not an examination of what is fairly obvious, it's rather an exposure of all that is obvious; which is bringing to light the true function of the predominant taboo of our age: the descent of America into police state totalitarianism, made possible by the terror demagogy that the American establishment has embraced as a quasi-religion to restructure American society. The results are visible when you see the police intimation and brutality, arrests of activists, high-tech surveillance, baseless detention of protesters in disease-ridden facilities and so forth.

There are of course some people here who either can't deal with the subject; or as I suspect the "people" who are slandering this documentary to degrade its standing in the statistics of this website; these viewers - supposedly from such obscure places as Djibouti, Iceland, The Faeroer Islands, Andorra and Guam- are really just one pathetic person spreading childish disinformation without having seen the film at all.

Hats off to Alex Jones and his efforts to fight for what is left of America's traditional freedoms.

Okay, first of all i find it very stupid how all these people are giving this great film a low rating.... all they seem to talk about is how bad the parts that discussed 911. THERE IS MORE TO THE FILM THAN THAT, and so what it doesn't matter if its just Alex Jones doing it!? why does that matter? he VERY CLEARLY just made Michael Moore look like an idiot and look at his films, they probably have lots of people involved in them and it even went to theaters! why hasn't Alex Jones movies gone there? Its obvious hes a fraud, in Michael Moore's film he ignored all the really intense facts about 911 then when he gets him to talk all he says is "That would be un-American" so what? its unamerican to question things and to find out what the truth is? Alex Jones is a great man, he makes amazing documentaries... and for the people who are bitching saying he makes bad movies, your stupid. a movie doesn't need to look all cool to get a point across and have very few people involved, his DSIBG movie is a great movie. Also for the people who say they fall asleep during Alex Jones rants, maybe you should stay up and actually listen to what hes saying before you judge the movie? haha i bet you didn't even finish the movie considering all of you who give bad ratings only comment on the 911 parts mostly, there is a lot more to the documentary than that, how about all the Arnold Schwarzenegger things, and the rest of the documentary? and no this is not a "science fiction film" he backs up his claims with news sites and talks to different people all over the place. You people are all just afraid to wake up to the reality so your finding ways to doubt everything this film says.
