The following was first posted by Pactole from RF. I don't often recommend watching documentaries but when I do, they are worth it:
Here's a new documentary that came out on 11.11.11
called THRIVE: What On Earth Will It Take?

The Thrive Movement (thrivemovement.com) has produced the most comprehensive and complete video I have found of our world’s entire global situationâ€"both our problems and their solutions. The subject range covered is vast and its presentation is concise, addressing world control mechanisms of energy, finance, education, health, food, media, scarcity, fractal banking, the military industrial complex, alien visitation, the NWO, and their surprisingly direct and simple solutions.
The range of contributors in the following film is broad, including G. Edward Griffin, David Icke, Steven Greer, James Gilliland, Deepak Chopra, Amy Goodman, Vandana Shiva, and many more.
THRIVE is an unconventional documentary that lifts the veil on what’s REALLY going on in our world by following the money upstream â€" uncovering the global consolidation of power in nearly every aspect of our lives. Weaving together breakthroughs in science, consciousness and activism, THRIVE offers real solutions, empowering us with unprecedented and bold strategies for reclaiming our lives and our future.
Ohh Steve... I just couldn't resist.
I read the Topic post here, and got to the bottom of the page,
and I couldn't help chuckle at the irony of your posting! LoL
The last sentence was so revealing, ".......offers real solutions, empowering us with unprecedented...."
and the at the end of your text, the next thing U see, is your truly Machiavellian signature [attachimg=2]
and its significance was not lost on me I tell U!

Chris... what on earth are you talking about? The text written was not originally published by me. As it says at the top, "The following was first posted by Pactole from RF" and I dont think he typed that text either. I'm pretty sure it was from an email the group sends when you subscribe to their updates or something.
Anyway I cant make head or tail of your response, so I cant comment further.
Apologies for that Steve, I thought these/those, were Ur words, since there are no quotes marked.
I'll remove the videos, if they mean nothing to U. :-X

hmm...
David Icke is the guy who believes that "the world is becoming a global fascist state, that a secret group of reptilian humanoids (link:://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilians) called the Babylonian Brotherhood controls humanity, and that many prominent figures are reptilian, including George H. W. Bush (link:://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush), Queen Elizabeth II (link:://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_II), Kris Kristofferson (link:://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kris_Kristofferson), and Boxcar Willie (link:://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxcar_Willie)." (Wikipedia). :o
So I'd be wary of taking what he says too seriously. Same goes for some of the others in the list.
On the other hand, I'm all for us "reclaiming our lives". Here in the UK there's a strong suspicion that the big energy companies are all in it together, so there's really no true competition. Fuel prices continue to rise while they make record profits. >:(
QuoteHa ha ha ha epic fail by the one and only chrisbis.
LOL, hey, he has powers now, he can ban you for taking the pi$$
Not if its true I won't Supers!
well at least not this week.
"Ring Ring Ring........... O Ye , O Ye, Bring out your Dead-Pan Comments for Chris bis, for He Hath Allowed a week Long Free for all on his Good Name'the!"
" And so say all of us"!!
O Ye, O Ye!!.............. ::)
Hmm....... I remember what David Icke said once about disabled people.
Just the week before he dropped of the edge of the Flat-Square Edged World wasn't it?
Football is played edge to edge of the Known world isn't it?
Regarding David Ike's claims about reptilians, I've never seen a reptilian alien, and I have not seen any proof of it. And I doubt he has either. So I consider such claims unfounded and more just speculation, but still not impossible. I still have the foresight to see we as a species are insignificant considering the age of the universe, and the age of our civilization.
Thing is, did you know about 1/3 of the world's population believe some ancient reptilian is manipulating and controlling everyone? The religion is called CHRISTIANITY - our police, judges and politicians all literally swear by it. With the right perspective, all of a sudden David Ike is no more a crackpot than billions of other people. What's even more illogical is billions of people actually think that we are the only civilization in the universe.
Tell this guy what a freak he is:

Anyway, sticking to something more earthbound.. the banking system. That is clear as day. Even the federal reserve published documents to explain how money is created. It doesn't take a genius to understand why debt is perpetual, and as such, why the monetary system is designed to give power and resources to the banks. What they do with that power is just about unlimited since even entire countries rely on money.
I find it quite ironic that they let you watch the trailer,all shiney and glossy too but wont let you watch the documentary due to copyright issues.
They want their cash, not willing to save the planet without gettin well paid for it.
The bullsh==t is strong in this one. :ooh:
People love conspiracy theories because it makes them feel special and 'in the know', and when you have an audience rest assured there will be those ready to satisfy the demand with websites, books, radio shows etc. There's big money in exploiting the ignorant and gullible.

Yes that must be it.

Good point and extremely well made. :thumbsup:

What about the intelligence to just reason it out? Surely the best of the lot would be able to do that... and the others would give up trying.

People do it to themselves, it's engrained in evolution in general. We're just the walking and talking version, who "know" about things like "free will" but can't really exercise those (because we don't really know).

Mostly it's, little money which "trickles up" to the bigger players (instead of down to the smaller ones).
Some points may be valid in that documentary, but some things seem way out of reality... and they won't really help us to change or make the world better at all, even if they are true (wich I have serious doubts).
Bayes is also correct,
"People love conspiracy theories because it makes them feel special and 'in the know', and when you have an audience rest assured there will be those ready to satisfy the demand with websites, books, radio shows etc. There's big money in exploiting the ignorant and gullible." And because he is correct, when true information appears, it's easy to discard it because of this, even tough we may be discarding valid information.... But accepting and staying inside the paradigms that rule our life's is not good either - it can be even worse! (do you know the experience of the 5 monkeys? 5 Monkeys (link:://:.youtube.com/watch?v=KZeiSKnhOBc#) ) That's like an ostrich that burries is head in the sand, hopping for the danger to pass. So what we need is to be the most informed as possible, but also be able to think for ourselves, using in a general way , what's called the Scientific Method... There's a lot to say about this alone, but I leave it to you to find out. One thing you can be sure in any case... if it's asking you for money, something is wrong.... If you don't have time to see for search nothing else, I recommend you watch at least this 2 zeitgeist films, you can find them here: :.truththeory.org/zeitgeist-addendum/ :.truththeory.org/zeitgeist-3-moving-forward/ (link:://:.truththeory.org/zeitgeist-3-moving-forward/) (truththeory.org is a website that has lots of good documentaries from various sources, all for free)
Forget it. Humans are too selfish to even come close to following these ideas.
Plus, they leave out the only thing that gives life any meaning at all, God. And not just some force or energy, but a God who is the intelligent creator and sustainer of the universe and life itself, and who is actively involved with his creation, namely us, on a personal and intimate basis.
Factor that into your world view and it'll change everything.
I challenge you, what's more important that determining in your own heart if there is in fact a God who wants to have a personal relationship with you? Once you believe it and enter into that relationship, it changes your whole perspective on life and eternity.

GLC, please don't take anything I say here personally and I hope you don't feel yourself or your belief's threatened by my comments.
Humans are not selfish by nature, we are taugth to be like that by the conditions we are raised and educated in - several paradigms work in conjuction to create this mentality. But this is a completly other issue by itself...
I don't get it when you say "leave out God". With all due respect, what's God got anything to do with the mess we create? I won't argue if God exists or not, what you believe, or what I believe, both are irrelevant to the matter at hand, and none can be proved correct or wrong. What i know is that this planet is the only house we have, whatever God you believe in, whatever religion you may have. Especially if someone believes in God, one should have already come to the conclusion that he does litle or no intervention at all in our mess - wars (we create them, not God), rich people (we create them) and poverty(we create it too, not God), billions of children die every day of hunger, while others are as fat as elephants, and we could save most of them, if ressources where better managed BY HUMANS - It's HUMANS who manage ressources in this planet, as far as I know. And they simply aren't managed at all in our current state, they are simply distributed according to how much money one has! It's up to us and the dictatorship called "nature" everything that happens in this planet. It's more then time to take responsability for what happens here, rather then leaving it up to any other existing entity, whatever it may be called ...
About your "challenge", I'am sorry to disapoint you, but in my heart is more important to connect with people here that need our help then with an absent God. It's more important to connect with animals or even plants then with an absent God. And if you consider that God is part of every living thing, well... maybe I'm more connected to it then you imagine at all... And wasn't it what God and Jesus wanted from us anyway?
I personally don't follow any religion, neither I condemn anyone who follows whatever relligion, as long as it does not threatens and respects other's. I was raised in a catholic envyronment, but today the closest I am from "religion" is taoism and budism, but only from a philosofical point of view. I invite you to learn about other religions too, you have many: budism, induism, the list goes on... you will learn a lot about God, humans and many other things allong the way...
Regards and best of luck to all.
PS: At least in this issues, we should try to keep relligion out of the equation... We will never be able to solve any problems if we continue dividing ourselves, be it by relligions, by political convictions, by football teams, by countries, by colour of skin or whatever... The fastest we reach the conclusion that we are all human and share the same house, with everything good and bad that's in it, the fastest we, as humans will be able to work together to overcome difficulties and to share the good things to have a better house, the only house know to day for our species... this planet.

I agree, and here's a nice little explanation of it.

Bayes, that's a great explanation . Thanks for sharing. Definetly a video that everyone should watch!

Vladir my friend, I won't take your comments personally. And, for sure, my beliefs are not threatened in the least by your comments.
You believe what you believe and are free to express your beliefs.
I won't expound on what I believe since this isn't the proper place for it.
I made the statements on behalf of those of us who have a different world view than the author of the video.
So, now I'll bow out and bid you good-day.
