    I don't think Obama is going to be the Saviour of the World (aka the 2nd Coming of JFK) that a lot of people, especially Europeans, fondly imagine. For a start he's just about as left wing as American mainstream politics gets so he's going to struggle to get a consensus going.

    That website is another nutter with a keyboard site.

    Personally I think Obama has been put up as the fall guy.

    Got the job at the worst time ever.

    Incidentally the guy behind the film is not a nutter - even though I do not subscribe to everything he says.

    People used to say David Icke was a nutter - he predicted a lot of the things that have happened with the banks. He lost it with the shape shifting stuff though.

    There is definitely a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we do not know about.

    I was going to say, the lizard stuff hasn't quite worked out for him has it? 1 out of 2 isn't bad I guess.

    Either way Icke can talk a good game - as can Alex Jones - they are both very popular on Talk Sport when they are on

    You could say the same about film writers. Where do all the ideas come from regarding UFOs, etc come from... Maybe there is some truth to it. Maybe it is an analogy of mankind?
    Are we not all shape shifting in our mannerisms! Mankind is quick to back stab, cheat and lie to make it to the top!
    Or maybe, it is just another gimmick to sell books... perhaps David Icke is merely a shape-shifting reptile and is tricking us all...
    Maybe I have had too much to drink?

    When the yanks are involved anything is possible!
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    Got in on promises that he has failed on already in weeks , took most of his critical press supporters and put em on a plane ride to no where....lots of scattergun technique used to for lack of a better word "blacken him".

    If the documentary , and I use the term with licence , wasnt so much filling the need of the con-thets then it would have been a good un.

    By scattergunning every section of the community with their fears the makers had enough to fill at least part of the void in the unwashed and uneducated masses heads....some of whom voted him in under the the wheels of spin that was the obama machine.

    History will out him , documentary work is biased , its a one sided thing to protray the subject matter in the light that they want...rarely is there any "other side" footage...there is never a third option of the devils advocate too.

    I hope in my dear heart that the nation of obamarica has its promises fullfilled , long before it loses its weapons.Its like some scifi plot.

    The bit that lost me in the documentary is the painting of JFK as being the good guy , the saint of saints.If they hadnt done that I would also have been more swayed ..... JFK was never the good guy , a dallas bullet probably saved the world from another war in europe , if there was any left after launching the nukes.

    Its questionable on the remarks about the fed res , in that its a privately owned company that is the true control of america.The fact of the matter in the sluice of that peice is that the majority of wealth is shared by the few.Tin foil hats not needed , but optional.

    Stating that the banks deliberately were party to failing in order to fund this evil global empire of oligarchs .... no that was greed and debt mate.

    Whether obama is the new world order slave master is at least in my mind not far from the truth , america goes into countries it has no right to , and complains of others doing the same ie russia.Making observations between empirical britain is not that far from the truth.It prevents other countries , rightly or wrongly , from having nukes.....saying its for the protection of the regions neighbours , the region usually has oil reserves.

    One thing I didnt like though is the obvious , to me anyway , contempt for a visiting british PM....but then again brown is the man for saying its all american money that broke the banks , and is more disliked than any pm in history by his own people....but then again we have always been their special freind , when it suits them that is.

    All in all the documentary is at times so far from reality and so close to the truth that its worth watching....the fact that they actually got "relatively" famous afroamericans to "dis" him is suprising.

    Lastly I have said for years that america should INVaid africa (spelling correct), to assist nations to help themselves ... if that happens I will be worried that the documentary have more insight than its creditted for....

    but then again free health care in america that he promised would at least help some of the contributors of the film with their paranoia meds being free....if a free health care doesnt materialise then its a win-win for these nutters anway.
    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    I think the (ahem) popular theory is they will reveal themselves in 2012, enslaving mankind in the process, so you're jumping the gun a bit on that one.

    Every raging commie since time began has predicted the fall of capitalism, but it doesn't make them some sort of oracle.

    So you don't know what goes on, but there's lots of it?!! :rotfl:
