I don't know if this film has been discussed here before. if so, i apolagize

i recently watched this 2 hour film that deals with the modern problems of the world. part one shows comparison between jesus and the sun worpship. second part tells us why 9/11 was an inside job, and part three exposes the banking cartels.
what do you think? The truth? Lies and humbug? or just a good old conspiracy theory that amuses us all, but you can't take seriously.

i think the movie is very well made, and it makes you think. and makes you want to research and draw your own conclusions.
heres the link. bring some snacks to the computer, and allow it to take 2 hours of your time :P

no prob. didn't mean to come off as mean or anything...just saying it's been discussed before.


the movie has a lot of inaccuracies in it making most of the movie pretty moot. the only points that really hold any water is the point that the religions are based off of astrology. that much is true.

The astrology religion thing was the only interesting part of this movie, I just couldn't buy into the conspiracy jargon.

As with most conspiracy theory works there are a lot of half truths in it.

They take a few awkward and/or puzzling facts and then attempt to convince you that they can fill in the rest story with something outlandishly sinister. They don't even attempt to consistently describe what the conspiracy is precisely about, what the motivation is, etc. They just hint at something sinister with odd facts and historical tidbits and expect you to fill in the blanks. It almost works better that way. The whole point is to engage the viewer’s imagination so they don't look too closely at the missing logic.

It is very psychologically manipulative and from that perspective the film is brilliant. Whoever made it really knew what they were doing.

Conspiracy theories are like cakes, and I just happen to be hungry. :o

I've never seen this movie but anything with Jesus must be good. What's the plot? I didn't like the ending of the Passion. I thought the writers messed up big time.

I noticed that about the scene with the rockefellar Standard Oil deal. He wasn't double-dealing with Nazis, in fact, we likely got something greater in return to screw with their economy.
