Again, who are the sheep. Is it the people who want to question the government, or the people who don't question.

The question really boils down to, Do you trust your gov't to tell you the truth. Should we be told the truth. Could the truth cause a panic. Could the truth cause a revolution. Could the truth make us all go, Duh we already knew that.

I think it is healthy to question how our government is ran. When we stop questioning we are one step closer to sheep.

And I think his question was "Make you think a little, huh?"

Most of the replies to this message were flat out attack calling JGLOTR a Moron.

How many people here think there have been suspicious of moments in our Governments history. Lets see, Pearl Harbor. JFK Assassination. Now weather Roosevelt knew they were coming or Oswald acted alone, did you stop and think about it.


My opinion on the film. Definitely made me think. After reading through all of the other links, made me think some more. Is it possible, maybe. Is it probable, maybe not. Either way there are always some strange coincidents that will raise eyebrows.
I think, therefore I am. If silly conspiracy theories make you think, great. Can we find "suspicious" moments throughout history - sure. Will fools be led to think foolish thoughts b/c of them? Yes. Will wise men spend lifetimes contemplating them? Probably not.

The mere fact that something "makes you think" does not mean it should be a) given credence; or b) disseminated as thoughtful prose. In each case, foolish or misleading statements can cause considerable harm - by baselessly impugning reputations, by inhibiting people from acting, by spreading calumny, etc.

Did this foolish video make me think. Yes - it made me think, "What a piece of crap, I hope somebody has done the research on it so I don't have to." A brief search and, wa-laa, that which I thought was confirmed. Do I ever need to think about it again? No. As others have done the research, no one ever need think about it again.
