Thrive: What on Earth Will It Take?

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." - Wake up people! I can't believe, some of the ratings on this site?! This is a must see movie. From energy, money, health, world governments, deception on a scale that is beyond comprehension. Take the time and watch this with as many people and pass this on to as many people before its too late. Integrity freedom and compassion not tyranny, destruction and control and fear? No thanks! We have to change the way we do EVERYTHING! Some of the most honest people with the will to fight the establishment. Withdraw your support from the global elite. Follow the truth, stop the corporatetocracy!

Besides the alien stuff which is harder to prove this documentary is very accurate according to my own research over the past few years.

To the guy from Denmark who said this was nothing but propaganda, maybe you should take them time to do your own research on these subjects. Also I agree people should not always believe everything they see or read especially when it comes from known liars and people with an agenda. No one fits those characteristics better than corporations and governments.

If people are interested in a few books of well sourced material on some of these topics, I recommend En Route To Global Occupation by Gary Kah, Mankind At The Turning Point which is a book put out by one of the elites think tank groups the Club of Rome. A few more books that get in to the agenda of the elites and the organizations and think tanks they run try The deliberate dumbing down of America by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt and Behind The Green Mask: UN Agenda 21 by Rosa Koire. You can get the original edition of the deliberate dumbing down for free in digital format at deliberatedumbingdown.com or buy her new revised and abridged edition on that site or Amazon.

First of all you will probably find my background interesting: Having a bachelor in Political Science and a master in Political Communication I have worked with public relations and lobbyism from inside the system and know how rotten it can seem to be. I see Thrive as handling very relevant subjects - but with the use of very well known PR/propaganda-techniques as e.g. used during World War II.

I'm a big critic of the current economic world order and see a high regulation of the top banks as very necessary step to ever get rid of the huge gaps in human inequality. Therefore this movie was very interesting to me. But Gamble definitely manipulates the viewer just like the 'enemy' he is accusing.

Thrive connects a lot of very different an very complex subjects by simply putting them next to each other in sequence without using much time to explain thoroughly and scientifically the coherence – exactly how Hitler (or Goebbels) always used to put rats and Jews together, making a powerful mental tool to manipulate people's minds.

Notice how he suddenly jumps from one conclusion about extremely complex problems to the other. Exactly like any other propagandist would do. When just using a couple of quotes of well-known persons as 'proof' and then jumps to the next, any university professor would flunk him had it been an exam. It's simply not scientific.

Now I could easily turn Thrive upside-down as a rich and powerful person's (Gamble) own attempt to create a movement much like a religious sect. Why? Think of the audience he addresses: People that believe in aliens. Just like small religious sects appeal to people that are easily convinced that their misery is because of some master evil dominating them. The classic 'us vs. them'-way of propagandizing as seen in any war and conflict.

Try watching a Youtube-clip about Scientology and see if you can spot any similarities in structure and layout? Misery vs. perfection: People suffering in a toxic wasteland, but by joining the movement you will see people smiling like crazy in beautiful natural surroundings. It's classic propaganda.

I would still recommend people to watch this movie since it makes you think and reflect upon important subjects that we tend to not think about. But put on your 'critical glasses' because Gamble might as well attempt to use the viewer to become his follower and visit his website and in some way supplying Gamble with money.

By writing this I also used argumentation based on propaganda-techniques. My point is: Always be critical of what you see and read.

I'm going to start off by saying that the intentions of this film were definitely good, but I can not take this as an authentic documentary. I remember watching the first thirty minutes and being impressed at how it was a truly authentic and relevant film. Then they started talking about how crop circles were created by aliens and this lost most of its credibility. It's more or less obvious this film is promoting conspiracy theories. They may not use that exact term, but they do mention conspiracies at one point. The best parts are probably the beginning and the end as we get a good introduction and conclusion, respectively obviously.

The one thing that really dragged this film down was how prominent David Icke was featured. I've heard of him, but I believe this is the first time I ever saw what he looked like. He is probably the biggest promoter of the lizard people or reptilian conspiracy, which asserts that many famous people like the President of the United States and the Queen of England are giant lizards in disguise. At least he doesn't mention tin foil hats. I simply can not take anyone seriously with a belief this ridiculous. It's absurd even by the standards of OTHER conspiracy theories. There's also a part where they talk about the corruptness of the pharmaceutical industry, especially with how they want us to take more medication. I firmly believe that medication is good, as it is something that has been duplicated in laboratory conditions, which is enough evidence for me. It's obviously ahead of alternative medicine which has been endorsed by Deepak Chopra, who appears in this film as well.

I was really hoping that they wouldn't mention those stupid 911 conspiracy theories. They did, but I guess they didn't really agree with them. They just said more and more people believed them and they were at least open to the idea. This is a truly irrational belief that has no place in society at all. With all that being said, I do appreciate how they advocate for peace here. They talk about how the wealth is very unevenly distributed, which we can all agree on. It's nice that they say we should simply stop spending all our money on weapons and just use it to feed people.

Of course, Bill Hicks said it better. The people here seem nice enough and their hearts are in the right place. I guess you could say their minds aren't. I will always promote the creation of jobs and equal distribution. We really do have to stop believing in conspiracy theories. I would have loved to have seen James Randi in this. He's probably debunked this movie. **1/2

When watching a movie like Thrive, listen to your heart.

Don't waste your time reading so called "reviews" on IMDb, youtube, etc.

They are all FULL of Trolls.

Fake users with fake accounts who write negative reviews to "make" people believe what they want.

There are many people out there who does NOT want you to succeed.

Why? So they can stay on top.

It's not a damn conspiracy, it's survival of the fittest.

The dumber you are the smarter they are, the more for them and the less for you.

But hey, don't take my word for it.

Watch the film and open your mind.

Listen within You and Only You.

You will know the Truth.
