FRONTLINE | Sneak Peek: Inside "Top Secret America" | PBS

[gusmcleod922]

This is a "grouchy" video. =p

[efraimgarner]

Your video is a favorite on Germany

[Haseeb2]

There is a building surronded by a large gate and constantina wire I came across in my travels to Arizona. I assumed it was a prison but when I stopped to rest near it, a short time later a man with a rifle wearing a uniform drove up in an unmarked car and asked me to leave immediately. I asked him what this place was and he told me "it's none of your business sir, please leave". My guess is that it was either one of those government buildings or a weapons test lab.

[rzorNvme]

are the reporters for the people or against the people. who can you trust now a days with truthful information

[2blakandbold]

People vs the people ...listen closely!!!!!!Government vs People!Information used against all!

[WarblesOnALot]

@bytwyzz G'day... Well, y're not entirely wrong there. Search 'Socio-Historical Quantum-Theology'; to see the Energy behind the Godtheories..! Happily, Karma & Kosmic Scoreboard-Effect conspire to allow Paranoid Violent Arseholes to succeed, at doing Stupid Bullshit ; for just long enough that Final Failure is Educational ! If y'd killed Hitler in 1937, then his Statues would still be all over Europe ! That's applies to the Excited Snakes of Amerika too, y'see.

[IntelligenceLaw]

I've waited for this documentary for well over a year now, and I was STUNNED by what I saw tonight when it finally aired. It was a complete SNOWJOB. Frontline spent less than 5 minutes talking about the massive domestic intelligence machine spying on Americans since 2001. They used old material from previous documentaries on Iraq and Afghanistan as filler for the other 55 minutes. If Priest, Arkin, or Kirk were threatened not to tell the full story then the DOJ should be forced to investigate.

[batocccc]

something is up. The government wants the people to know of its corruption. They purposely made 9/11 look like a hack job. They could have easily made everything look legit. We need to step outside of the outside box and figure out what they want.

[ieatwiteoutforfun]

@AllThatMakesUsHuman4 Hell yes. I wish PBS would just throw all its money at Frontline and Nova.

[gpowis9853]

We have a new high fenced goverment communication complex 15 mile northwest of Lansdale, 5 mile southwest of Quakertown, PA. Concrete building goes down 7 stories and large towers.

[bytwyzz]

GOD IS COMING !

[bytwyzz]

God is coming

[5kehhn]

What's the big deal?

[imatelly]

@5kehhn every job in government is payed for by the people,from in 1900 our debt was 1 bil,in 1990 it was 1 tril,in 2011 its 6 tril,and we are broke,all of our money is being given to these people now we must give some to the bank,and we cant know about anything they are doing with our money,and because you pay taxes,your tax money goes to kill people in other countrys,so your sweat is turned into blood,it becomes your fault for handing them your money,you like being at fault for people dieing?

[Vierotchka]

No wonder there is a huge debt crisis - all this must have (and continues to) cost hundreds of trillions...

[ghostofzigz]

Implicit fear is control yet fear is no excuse to become complicit through inaction.

[0utstandingnonsense]

Stupid

[0utstandingnonsense]

This is another joke, controlled by the same people that run or operate secret societies, if your throwing that out might aswell add the masons, etc

[jimmyzeno57]

police state U.S.A.

[shiningdogawake]

so any news about the possible release of this? I'd love to see this..

[duffh]

Have you all noticed that right winger billionaire David Koch is now a major "grant" contributor to Frontline & PBS. Do you suppose he's having an editorial effect on PBS content. The Frontline Secret America was suppose to screen in January. It didn't screen.

[The1Indignitary]

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

[MikeLikesToSleep]

The underground towns are overrated. They didn't build enough pools to swim in, so if you want to swim you have to swim in the outside world. Also all the woman are old and the shops they speak of are mostly CD stores.

[ddarkshark]

@MikeLikesToSleep - mike, i think you're asleep. at least hypnotized.

[deathprophet311]

Funny thing is that according to the end of the preview (this exact film) on Frontline's webpage, this story was SUPPOSED to air in January 2011. It is EXACTLY the same, except where at the end of this one it says "Coming Fall 2011 on PBS" on the other one it says "Coming January 2011 on PBS" Hmmm, wonder why that is? Getting filtered by gov't. or something worse? Let's just hope we're still here in the fall...lol.

[msungs]

We live in an Orwellian 1984. I just got done watching the documentary Zero that shows all of the holes in the 9-11 story. Everything in America is labeled top secret so the peasants/serfs (aka the taxpayers) are kept in the dark about the deep and dark secrets of who actually controls the US (the Federal Reserve as "Federal" as Federal Express). Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Press are dead in the USSA. Bush used 911 as an excuse for the Patriot Act + Owebama only expands. We are doomed.

[MiKikaIwaShizaru]

By the time this airs, it will be so watered down as to be pointless, they are not going to let us see the real inner workings of the CIA/FBI/Military Police...

Looking behind the curtain is VERBOTEN, people, believe me on this!

They let you know when you are a thorn in their side, as undemocratic as that sounds, America has nothing to do with Democracy anymore.

Stop bothering to vote too, the politicians can do anything they please, as long as it is what the Military-Industrial Complex wants.

[stfatpat]

I wonder how much scrubbed due to what the fed has done in response to wikileaks

[melonheed3]

does anyone know when specifically this is going to air? ive had this trailer in the back of my mind since july and it's fall now. where's the special? just wondering

[MiKikaIwaShizaru]

@melonheed3

Last time I looked on the PBS/Frontline site, it was pushed back to January.

[NateBiggity]

@melonheed3 According to the website, this got bumped to January 2011.

[Makiba08]

911 was NECESSARY in order to put this system in place....this has been in the makings for years. Americans are finally finding out about the dark works of their government.....they will be shocked.

[sofistikit]

The expansion of Top Secret America was not created because of 9/11, but 9/11 was created for the expansion of this monstrosity. What a stupid spin

[josuecaban1]

Did you expect any thing less from the response after 9/11? If we could look up a Russian General's Home Phone number in Russia using NSA to provide the data while we were in joint military exercises/observations with the Red Army, how much more can we be kidding ourselves that our lives our private? I am talking about the mid to late 80's. The General was quite shocked at the revelation. The title "Top Secret America", it is ridiculous spin on what we already have and have had in the past.

[deadadelta]

Why dont You do an investigation into the health effects of Micro Aluminum, Lead, Barium in FLUORIDE, Attaching to ends of Neurons forming Clusters in Pineal Gland, Lazy Thyroid=Depression

see book "The Fluoride Deception & FLUORIDE THE DEVIL'S POISON

many Films & Scientific Reports at "FLUORIDEALERT"

Its called Sodium, & Sodium Fluoride, its causing Alzeheimers Disease, Cancer, Kindney Problems on & on

Repair Brain with one of four types of MAGNESIUM see SCIENTIST=georgeeby

[judynz1]

Whats happened to THE CAPTAIN GOES DOWN WITH THE SHIP. LOL 

[deltaalpha21074]

Make a fake war---especially with bunch of Islamics who the SPOOKS who did 9/11 knew those idiots would love to jump on the JIHAD Band wagon but truly look at the bumpkins who tried to attack in the name of JIHAD Shoe bomber and other fanatics that hate America and it' buddies. Could'nt even blow up one plane really think Terrorists really exist? NO JUST BIG COMMUNISTIC USA GOVERNMENT.

[melonheed3]

@deltaalpha21074 communistic is not a word. communist is. people ( and not just deltalpha) if you want to appear intelligent, learn grammar and spelling. then you wont look like an idiot on here. just saying.

[ReddsMorris]

Great job Newsweek. Now that all this information is on the web our enemies can know right where to attack us for maximam damage. Sometimes the new under their freedom of press can do more harm then good. To me giving out this information is treason- so get in line with the President on giving up our country and wait your turn to be shot for treason.

[99TypeR]

@ReddsMorris our enemies is the president, senators and politicians themselves they already informed all the puppet terrorists of where, how and when to attack for maximum profit & interest for these so called "leaders" probably in a written document over at bush's ranch in a nice briefcase with a couple hundred grand and some whiskey to toast tax payers ignorance.

[Makiba08]

@99TypeR I with you man

[melonheed3]

@ReddsMorris dont you think that any enemies that could attack us would have already if they really wanted to? you dont think china and others dont know where our bunkers are? they know where to hit us and us them....we dont because there is no need. our world economy is slowly making us all dependent on each other. right now we owe china so much money it would hurt them to hurt us. as far as terrorists secure areas theres no way now. not after 9/11

[Dionysos37]

When the law courts of Germany wouldn't give Hitler what he wanted, he simply created a parallel system and ignored the rest. Sounds familiar.

[CheeezMaster]

the gubmint will fix it

[ThisBoyTV]

This is what journalists are supposed to do for the people. We have been blasted with conspiracy material so long that an in depth report such as this becomes questionable. Up until about 1990 journalists did this type of good work all the time.

[Makiba08]

@ThisBoyTV Well nowadays the America elitists own the news networks and control what is presented to Americans....sometimes you have to listen to news in other parts of the world to know what is true.

[9krt]

"It can't happen here"? It HAS HAPPENED HERE, and you were all too busy watching "American Idol" to notice. Stop blaming Obama (and for that matter Bush), 'cause the groundwork was laid before most of us were born. Can you name the Director of the DIA? Do you even know what the DIA is, or what it does? The GWOT is just an extension of the Cold War.

[imcolinemorris]

why don't you just tell the enemy where to bomb next ...morons

[charlesh1]

I don't get it. The sheeple wanted a war against terror and now that they have it they are afraid because they don't know their secrets?

[ccdeweese]

These media can't stand it that they are not included. It's cool being on the inside.

[kskshghg]

So many of these expenditures being defined as security are b.s. It's a secret world of secret money. It's garbage.

[TogetherinParis]

Yeah, like the federal government's TV people are going to break US security. Gimme a break. I just can't wait for the snow job.

Congress has oversight power and President Obama has personal control. This is like looking at one's own underwear. So what is Frontline doing? Are the picking targets for Al Qaeda? ha ha.

[bluebeest]

the idea of this is scary. People need to say enough and demand accountability. this enrages me. People wake up.

[thasickest]

@peasnqueues The same thought crossed my mind.

[ThinkerMister11]

Disregard the top secret bullshit..but still you have to wonder...

where the fuck does this money come from?

[MzSiddiqui]

The war on terror is a big joke ! If you follow the trail of terror it will lead you right by to our country, America.

[jt55106]

sell them papers boys. this is no secret you are fools that belong to the people you report on. I'm not a fool to believe this shit.

[Okaymax]

Uncovring this type of information is harmful to our national security. The government has to keep a low profile so it can hide secrets form other nations. Its the only way to really keep our nation safe. Dont stick your nose where it doesnt belong, you'll only hurt our country.

[CeeStyleDj]

@Okaymax This "can" be true.

[aethiops007]

How can you have all the info and not be able to come up with the TRUTH? Would they argue that 9/11 wasn't an "inside job"?

[SalafiHawk]

Wow...big secret computers but he is still using IE...lol

[tubegeg]

I cant wait to see the full episode when PBS airs it in October. Frontline ROCKS! This is the National Security State times ten.

[yandosan]

Come on people , do you really think the US gov't would try

to hide information or agendas from the citizens. Jeez!

[FreewheelinPhrank]

When they no longer care whether you know the truth it means only one thing: The gloves are coming off. And they're using Frontline as one info conduit to let us all know. Remember fear in the mind is their best weapon. Does anyone here really think all this is for a few rag-tag Afghan militants ?? Now you know - YOU ARE THE ENEMY.

[msungs]

@FreewheelinPhrank The American people are too blind to realize that it is not the terrorist in some foreign land they are gathering intelligence on...it is you because you hold the key to change the course of the US.

[FreewheelinPhrank]

'WelfareRobot' - "...be careful / often deeper agenda at work."

Dude, FRONTLINE is right there in bed with them all. Frontlines recent 'Spy Factory' Doc was designed to reinforce the 'Terrorist' myth / fabrication while beginning to shape the public's subconscious of NSAs absolute power over their deepest secrets. The majority of Americans believe 9/11 was an inside job, now they want you to know how much power the insiders have. NSA computers & twin towers were shut down for 3 days before 9/11.

[bschinzel]

Its all real folks....the police state is coming full force. ALL OF THIS IS FOR THE ENSLAVEMENT OF AMERICANS

[uclaztec2]

It's funny that Republicans do not want big govt., but guess what? These so-called security businesses popped up like nobody's business during the Bush administration. Money from the federal govt. flowed like water fall into the "defense" industry. And guess what? This industry is not going anywhere. They are entrenched and their game is to sell and create crises and keep you in fear.

Right wingers have sold our country to defense contractors and their game is divide and conquer!

[MamaOkie]

@uclaztec2 You need to step back and SEE the bigger picture. There is NO difference between the parties - it is a diversion... making the masses believe they have a choice. Playing the good guys against the bad guys routine --- when all along, their agendas (end game) are ultimately the same.

[hplaserjet2001]

@MamaOkie You are right, they control all sides.

The Denver airport has four office towers under ground. See my playlist "Denver Airport and Underground Bases."

The US government is overspending by approximately $4.38 billion per day.

In 2009, the Federal Reserve engineered 20+ trillion dollar bailouts equaled 40% of the private wealth created in the US since 1776.

[bdmenne]

@uclaztec2 Democrats are all up in it too. If someone is elected at top levels, they are a PUPPET. Obama may be the most dastardly puppet there ever was, because he comes off as such a good guy. Who do you think Hospice hires to see

patients move on from this world, the velvet tongued angelic types.

Obama could be that Hospice nurse that will administer the last meal, rights, and shot...if you know what I mean. night night

[1lovefree]

check out alex jones or david icke.. they will break it down to the bone.. one love.

[VTCAS22]

I do understand. I work in this community. They have no idea what risk they have put the industry in by what they printed. Don't question my intelligence. There's no need to be rude when corresponding.@daboss985

[midwestcharm]

FEMA Camps

[PeteMoss36]

I want to be investigated - actually, I want Federal agents to come into my house, handcuff me, and lead me away, and I don't even know if it's a Federal thing.

[kirklazzarus]

Wait this is Washington post? The people who just apologized for choosing to ignore the DoJ story... Yeah, I think I'll pass on whatever non-sense they're shoveling. I'm sure there are "secret" buildings here, just like every other country in the world. But congratulations on your continued efforts to weaken your own country.

[wallstreetgreek]

Wonderful. Great job undermining our national security. What an interesting article, now go live in Africa, since you're not safe here anymore. Oh, and thanks for making it unsafe for the rest of us to live here as well. This is foolish reporting, anti-American, and destructive to the safety of all of us. How foolish can fools be? This is about tops.

[Sp0ilTheFun]

@wallstreetgreek thats what the liberal media wants you to think!

[imrubberandyoureglue]

@wallstreetgreek So you think it's unsafe to live in America now because of "this" video. Okely-dokely.

[bbossin]

@wallstreetgreek

When our national security branch is actively planning an overthow of the constitutional government, building concentration camps, and actively joining in the New World Order.

When was a Military Junta an American value.

Should we wait til they fill up the camps?

[AlexanderCovic]

"Who watches the watchmen?" I hope journalism continues to do it!

Thanks, Mrs. Priest, Mr. Arkin & Washington Post.

[addahville]

This is retarded.. I LOVE FRONTLINE.. but come ON now people! Like you're actually SURPRISED by the magnitude of secret government? I suppose Lee Harvey Oswald was such a great shot, that he could hit Kennedy from behind, run from the book depository and then hit him from the grassy knoll as well. Since 9/11? I think you need to go back just a little farther.

[WelfareRobot]

Just be careful with the Washington Post. The owners have had tight connections with the establishment (the Grahams being the most obvious). Bob Woodward had intelligence connections and no reporting experience before joining the paper and receiving leaks regarding Watergate. Etc. They may play the role of reporters, but there's often a deeper agenda at work.

[toodance]

@WelfareRobot - tend to agree. -also think the same about Frontline. I quit watching it after a show aired (during the national emergency sky is falling flu shot campaign thing) insisting there is no corelation between brain damage and infant vaccinations.

[MarathonTheGame]

@WelfareRobot For example re: "a deeper agenda at work"?

[eyesea]

@WelfareRobot so then what your saying is they play the role of reporters

[kommon12Cents]

this is the scariest thing ive ever seen...people better start waking up real soon

[NataiEndo]

i would suggest the book "blank spots on the map' by trevor paglan ... as introductory into the black world or "the dark side" as they called it in here

[toodance]

@NataiEndo hiya, thanks for the recommendation. I found a lecture by him on the topics in the book. what a talented, fascinating individual!

[sniper6081]

How can anybody in their right mind defend this or be okay with this?

[NataiEndo]

@sniper6081 i agree ... this is not in the constitution... and not the practice of a free society ... this is the stazi system of the USSR .... the Gestapo system of nazi germany

[carpenter98312]

um... wowserz...I would work for them for the sake of my family.

[connordesai]

I'm not doubting that a "Top Secret America" exists - and most likely has since way before 9/11, but who are these million people that work within that infrastructure? Don't they tell their families and friends about it? 

[NataiEndo]

@connordesai its the same as the manhattan project back in the day

[MiKikaIwaShizaru]

Is this America's last chance to rein in the out-of-control spies by shedding some light on them? What spy REALLY likes democracy anyway, it just gets in their way! Fascism (with pretend democracy) is much more a spy-friendly system!

[MiKikaIwaShizaru]

If you run American intelligence, it's only prudent to collect info on every American politician, it might come in handy later! Doh!

J. Edgar Hoover may have been a cross-dresser, but he was a cross-dresser with a huge collection of dossiers! Information is power, any average spook knows that!

[daisy3067]

i wonder if it has anything to do with or preparing us for the final 'PART" truths in "the disclosure project"or something that has totally now have a life of its own answering to know one not even the people that set it up. president Ruservaltt

[KirkSandall]

Can't wait to see this episode. Love Frontline.

[mr007tycoon]

I have no problem with all this.

[cshargeit]

sounds like an inside job...stop giving them all the tax money... hmmmm?

[davidperi]

democracy now.has 2 pieces on this for today´s show....45 min or so broadcast.

[limpiomott2]

i ann ba spy awel like spy

[khunopie]

i anna ba spy

[sprinklefriend]

@khunopie then you probably shouldn't proclaim that desire to the entire world...
