    Ignore the Trump Bashing Great documentary

    Just ignore the Trump bashing and look at the facts of what they do and plan to do. Remember Hurricane Katrina they went door to door taking peoples guns. The US post office is used to take pictures of your mail still. And opened and read, "Accidently damaged" they will say. Pay our taxes so the can spend the more for themselves not for the citizens. Where are OUR bomb shelters? Gone. Wake up people you are on your own. Riot now in France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and maybe in Canada I heard. Want to guess where their secret bunker are at? Look for very large runways where they shouldn't be with towns of small populations.

    Reality-Based Political Fears

    As the description of this documentary makes clear, as well as the listed speakers in the credits, you have all the information you need to avoid unpleasantness; if you like Trump, you should skip this. But if you're in the majority of US voters (in both elections, incidentally), you will likely find this fascinating and scary, while staying grounded in real information, not crazy stories about evil pizza parlors or Jewish space lasers. If all the people writing these bad reviews actually watched it despite it's clear agenda (and I don't think most of them have), you should read the program details more carefully. I see someone like Alex Jones in the credits, pass...

    The US won the Cold War but at what cost?

    Trillions of dollars in national security and if there is ever nuclear war, the powers that be will be safe in their bunkers they built with your tax money while you die from radiation.

    The journalism is not neutral, there is political bias and identity politics. The way it paints the victims of Waco is not with the same sympathy as the victims of Katrina. Matter of fact it didn't delve into the victims of the Waco massacre at all or indict the actions of the ATF whatsoever.

    I would've liked it a lot more if it wasn't occasionally biased. The most important thing they don't tell you is that it is by design. The military industrial complex is not an accident. It's not mutually exclusive to one party. Obama was as terrible as Bush but they don't criticize the Obama administration, hmm.

    They imply it is the government's job to protect people in the first place as if that is supposed to be its proper function, the creators of this content don't see the irony in that?

    Interesting

    The show is a good idea, interesting. But WAY too much left wing propaganda. It's a good enough show, if you can handle that. It's all stuff that we probably in our minds already know. That there are higher ups in society, the decision makers that will be protected at all cost. I mean, we do have to have a plan if things get really bad. But the show points out that we on paper, we have a plan, and that plan is on paper. The show points out that when things did get bad, our plans weren't executed all that well. But that is also understandable in chaotic situations. Again, good show, but Far left leaning.

    Great Series!

    Unfortunately, those that have closed minds will not be able to understand the depth and point of this coverage and will downvote this. Those that are well entrenched in cult behavior are not going to be able to view this, objectively. This is a very well done series that just begs for more. Please continue to produce more series as events unfold.

    The authors give us as much information as they have access to. This feels like it glossed over many subjects. A season 2 could dive in deeper if they have the necessary knowledge to add to any of the other episodes. I applaud the effort and encourage them to continue. Your own personal views will cloud your judgement. Take this one in with an open mind.
