Don't get me wrong, I believe that true Christianity is alive and well. It's just not practiced by the mainstream churches of Christendom. You have to search for it. John 8:32

Thank you sir!
Yea, I finally got a change to watch the rest of the movie. It was pretty much what I thought it would be. Most of the "conspiracy theories" they presented have been around for quite a while. I think part of the problem with things that circulate like this on the Internet is it's almost impossible to trace, much less verify the truthfulness of, the source. They are just passed from person to person, or site to site, with most people accepting them as truth. This was very much the case with the religious section.
I think there's no doubt that the powers that be are pushing for a one world government. Everything is pointing in that direction. The world we live in is not like it used to be. It has become one huge neighborhood. With all the advances in technology and trade, having different currencies, laws and regulations make doing business very complex. So, I think they see definite advantages to consolidating many of the functions of national sovereignties. The part on the North American Union is based on fact as well as the Trans-Texas corridor and others.
I have always believed that 9/11 was an inside job. There were just too many things about it that didn't add up. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was at work and we were watching the events unfold on a TV in the office. One thing that has stuck with me is that a major network reporter was talking about F18s trailing another plane (Flight 93) over Pennsylvania. This was probably 15 or 20 minutes before it crashed. After that, not another mention of the F18s. The US can scramble jets in a matter of minutes but they want us to believe they didn't have time to intercept this flight. If you look at the crash site it doesn't look anything like a plane crash. It was just a black hole in the ground. People reported seeing debris scattered for miles. Not what you would expect from a plane crash.
I also believe that terrorism is a hyped "enemy" meant to erode civil rights with the pretense of "protecting" us from this mysterious evil. I think that there was never any "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq. It was simply a cover to give an excuse to invade the country. Same goes for the Taliban threat in Afghanistan.
I think the plot to enslave mankind is greatly exaggerated. I'm sure they would love have much more control over the population and will probably achieve many of the objectives outline in the movie, but some of the ideas are kind of far fetched. I don't think we have to worry about a controlled population reduction anytime soon.
