I saw both parts of this documentary and it is great, it shows how Americans got brainwashed into adopting secular values and all of a sudden boom you get the hippies,!! Amazing documentary, I recommend people watch the whole thing, its here on youtube!!

Amazing, all the information given in this video and all some people can say is; I like that music and do you know what it is.

I'm on my fourth viewing at the moment.. You get new info everytime you watch it!! lol

...I was having a cheeky chuckle to myself when i noticed most of the Psychologist/psychotherapists were German or Austrian, especially the third one called Reich...

Why are there so few comments on a video with so many views?

[1965ajax]

@TheWingflyer ..Why do you feel the need to share that with me ?

Do you have any opinions of your own, rather than stating the obvious ?

[TheWingflyer]

@1965ajax It's one thing to be lead by a body of one's own beliefs. It's totally different to be controlled by *people's* willing, thoughtful cunning in real-time.

That said, the people doing this manipulation don't usually worship anything like God but instead they worship power and wealth.

@terrisl I've no idea...

[terrisl]

@1965ajax Is atheism a religious belief? Does a pile of nothing become something? Sure, I guess if you wait long enough.

[1965ajax]

@KilluminatiMujahad I'm always confused when people say all the right things about, how governments control the way we think & how advertising manipulates our choices etc..

The confusing part of it for me is, they themselves are being governed & manipulated by a particular religious belief... I don't get it..

Maybe you could throw some light on it for me ?

Cheers Mate.

@KilluminatiMujahad Correlation is not causation. Reality may be a bit more complicated than the Readers' Digest version. My recommendation is to consider without judging. An open mind learns. Your can't.

@Azzenstudent You think this is some sort of a theory? Obviously you didn't watch. The fact is that this so called freedom or do what you want idea of freedom that is propagated in the name of democracy is exactly what leads to youth being mislead into these type of fringe groups. today we have youth who think its cool to be a criminal or a Gangsta and others who think its cool to be depressed like the so called emos for example and your telling me this is a coincidence or some sort of theory?
