Now he's asking random people on the street if they know about the Secret International Government Meeting. Some do, some don't. What's this supposed to prove? Especially since he starts the questioning by shouting at them over his bullhorn about how the "elite" want to destroy Canada and turn it into the American Union. Now he's literally claiming that all American presidential elections are just faked. And he's saying it as if it's a proven fact. Every time he shows us any piece of paper which supposedly corroborates his claims, it's always been delivered by some unnamed anonymous source. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. But here, we get grainy photocopies. Hell, they admit that they don't even know who's sending them the list of people attending the Bilderberg meetings every year, and the lists don't accurately reflect who's actually there, but they still trust those lists like gospel. God, this moves at a snail's pace. Now they're repeating the same conspiracy theories about global government takeover for like the third or fourth time.

The director has a bullhorn, and is literally screaming at the building with it: "WE KNOW YOU ARE EVIL! GOD IS ON OUR SIDE!" Why the fuck are we supposed to take anything this paranoid drama-queen says as being credible? The small scattering out journalists outside the meeting never identify who they work for. Their credentials and/or employers are never discussed. This leads me to believe that they work for nobody but their own blogs. Some of the stuff captured on camera blatantly contradicts what the director claimed had happened. Like how the one guy supposedly "cackled" at him when he started screaming "I'M NOT YOUR SLAVE1", yet the footage clearly shows the guy in question just walking away and not responding. And now the shitty movie crashed my browser. Arrgh. I don't know if I want to wait for it to load again.

Beyond just subject matter, this is one slow, badly-paced movie. Right now I'm watching our heroes debate over whether they're lost in downtown Ottowa or not. They keep harping over and over about the secrecy of the annual Bilderberg meetings. (I assume they're annual, anyway, the background information often has holes in it like that.) The general attitude seems to be "well, if they were doing anything good they'd be doing it publicly, thus they must be doing EVIL~!" That's damn near a direct quote. Meanwhile they ignore all the countless legitimate reasons any kind of important international group might have for not wanting the entire world to know about the inner happenings of their meetings. Also, though they keep stressing how important all these people are, they give embarassingly few names and don't tell us exactly who these people are, where they're from, what they do, so forth and so on. EDIT: okay, NOW they finally provide a little information on some of the supposed New World Orderers, more than half an hour into the movie. Bad structuring, they should've told us this stuff up front. Frankly, any group which includes Henry Kissinger as a top guy just doesn't send chills down my spine. Also, PepsiCo is run by a woman? I didn't know there were any female CEOs at that level of industry. Of course, it just says she's the "head" of the company, which is pretty vague. EDIT2: apparently Hillary Clinton is part of this too. PH3AR!

There's one HUGE piece of history which is completely skipped over and ignored: the Cold War. The filmmakers just ignore the fact that we were on the very brink of worldwide nuclear war for decades, which would've completely fucked up the NWO's plans. The giant Communist empire which covered half the globe for so long isn't even mentioned. Now the glory-hog director Alex Jones is saying there was some kind of conspiracy to keep him out of the most recent Bilderberg meeting last year. Apparently he was detained for a few hours while immigration officials went over his paperwork and asked him some questions. That's all. But he literally says that it's the worst thing he's ever seen happen in the entire world. He must've missed every single story about reporters being murdered in Iraq and elsewhere. But he acts like this absolutely piddling non-incident is some kind of evil persecution from a shadow society who are afraid of his Truth~! He's also terribly unbiased and objective. Actual quotes screamed from him at passing cars during a business leadership summit: "You crook! You're gonna go to jail, just like Ken Lay!" "We're not your property, we're not your slaves! We're gonna defeat the New World Order!" The various Truthers and protestors depicted on camera all come off like Chicken Littles and madmen in general. Dammit Lactose, there's still almost two hours of this shit to go, I hope you're happy.

Oh, I should've mentioned this earlier, but the opening monologue is goddamn hilarious. It talks about how The Man's final goal is to kill 90% of the people on the planet, and keep the rest locked up in giant prison-cities. Of course, there's no source provided for this information. According to these people, the NWO's final goal in WWI was to form the League of Nations. If that's true, then man, that's one shitty conspiracy, because it didn't accomplish dick. The conspiracy theories themselves are maddeningly vague about specifically who is behind the NWO banking cartels. Exactly two names have been mentioned, Rothchild and Rockefeller, and those are pretty common targets for Truthers. Ah yes, the European Union is NWO, didn't see that one coming.

I'm really hating on the narrator's deep, menacing voice, which I guess is supposed to add weight to his statements. They just said that "the banking cartels" apparently caused all of the wars from the 15th to 19th century in Europe. Apparently the banks literally own and ran the entire British empire as well. I'm sure that information would've come as a surprise to the British military, the monarchy, and the East India Trading Company which was by far the most powerful company on the planet. And now they're saying that a "secret society" assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in order to make the banks a pile of money from World War I. Are they just making this shit up? We know exactly who killed the Archduke, why he did it, and how the following tangled web of political alliances and treaties led to war.

Now there's an ecologist lecturing me about political science and worldwide conspiracies.

And now it's followed by a montage of random quotes taken out of context and then strung together to make it look like the Bilderberg? Vilnermerg? Billybong? Group is taking over the world. A political documentary showing Bush and Chaney saying kinda sinister things is like a wrestling heel screaming that all the fat rednecks need to shut up and show him some respect. EDIT: and just as I finish typing that, less than four minutes into the movie, we get our first footage of Hitler. This should be a wilde ride indeed.

Alright, I'll watch the damn thing. Bad sign right off the bat when the movie starts with a quote containing the phrase "New World Order", with ominous music playing in the background. Worse sign is that the quote is from H.G. Wells, a science fiction writer, whose ability to accurately predict the future wasn't that great.

It's Pacino as the main character in Carlito's Way. Basically was an unofficial Scarface sequel.

Yeah, he was Powerplanting it up for a while. Did a little time in NWA Wildside when it was a pseudo-developmental, too.

Why is everyone so goshdarn certain that Edge is gonna win the Rumble and HHH is gonna win the Chamber? That's just one of many possible outcomes. Especially since, for the last two years, at least one of the title matches at Wrestlemania ended up being completely different from what everyone was predicting. Yeah there were extenuating circumstances, but there's no way to be sure there won't be again. (Except for the ECW championship NOT being determined by either the Rumble or the Chamber, we can probably be pretty sure of that.) I like the idea of doing the Chamber annually at the same PPV; it's hard to get a believable storyline going where six different guys are competing for one belt. I'm not sure about doing it at No Way Out every year though. With Cyber Sunday, Survivor Series, the Rumble, MitB at Mania, and now this one, that stacks up every single one of their gimmick-themed PPVs in the winter/spring season, with the summer and autumn having nothing but a gimmick-less Summerslam, a no-longer-extreme One Night Stand, and forgettable In Your Houses. Weird that they'd make their year so lopsided like that.

Firstly, stop calling me a fucking racist because it's a goddamn lie. Like I said, racist = hates people of a particular race, and you've yet to pull up any evidence of this. Secondly, twizted is simply restating all my arguments EXACTLY, so how am I a racist and not him? Thirdly, you said you're a light-skinned black guy. You said your child's mother is completely white. That would mean that he's at least 51% not-black, genetically speaking. Then why do you consider your kid to be black?

Fuck you, you stupid piece of shit, don't call me a goddamn racist. By definition, a racist is someone who hates a specific race for no good reason. Show me ONE goddamn example where I've done that.

Meanwhile, here's some guys you're claiming look African: You don't see a difference?

Aside from the ears, of course.

Because I don't know a thing about MVP's parents or grandparents or general heritage, so I'm not informed to make any sort of judgement on that one. I don't think he looks the same as Rock though, his skin seems to be a little bit darker, plus the cornrows make it easier to subconciously identify him as being black. He does have the sort of look which the majority of the population call "black". The same society that calls Sinbad "black". I just don't understand why people assist on appyling that label to people it doesn't fully fit.

Whether I would consider him black is immaterial in that context, because Vince almost certainly would.

That's from the Rock, and proves he's at the very least 50% Black. But you've been arguing that the Rock is black. Not "half-black". Rocky Johnson. Notice how it doesn't specify exactly what Rocky "told him".

KOABy, I'm not saying it's important to draft people to one race or another. My point is entirely the opposite. It's not "Why ISN'T Rock an official member of Race #1", it's Why IS Rock officially designated black"? Thank you. Lotta projecting going on in here. Exactly what I'm saying, and still waiting on an answer.

It seems like you're making shit up to call me a racist, brother. Still waiting on a logical response about exactly how someone with less than 50% black genetics is still considered "black".

So by your logic: Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, Edward W. Brooke, Barack Obama, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz, shouldn't be consider black as well? Get the fuck out of here. If you've got more white ancestors than black ones, yeah, why the fuck should you be considered black?

That's just... stupid. So you're saying that if someone doesn't look 100% white, then by default that makes them black? Like my point earlier: looking at Rocky Johnson, it's pretty clear that his African heritage has been watered down with a lot of the white overseer's sperm ever since his oldest ancestor got dragged onto the boat. He's definitely not entirely black. Meanwhile, his wife wasn't black at all, she was part white and part Samoan. So by simple mathematics, this means that The Rock is less than half black in terms of his genetic makeup. So why insist on pidgeonholing him as being black when the majority of him came from somewhere else?

But look at his MOM too, genius, who don't have a drop of black blood in her body.

I just don't see how a guy like Rock who is so obviously a mutt produced by grandparents who all looked different can be considered "black". He barely has a trace of anything resembling African facial features. As to the Chris Rock thing, that speaks to something else that I've always wondered about America. Why are people who , genetically speaking, more European than African still considered "black"? Take the Sinbads and Bryant Gumbels of the world. These guys clearly had more light-skinned ancestors than dark ones, yet despite the fact that they're majority white, they're still considered to be black. Why is that? Actually, you could make the case that in Rock's eyes Austin deserved it after he was the guest referee counting Hunter's pin of Rock on the previous ppv.
