Former Navy SEAL, professional wrestler, and Minnesota governor, Jesse
Ventura, recently launched a new television show on the truTV (formerly
known as Court TV) cable channel. The first episode debuted on Wednesday,
December 2, 2009. And the final episode of this season aired this past
Wednesday, January 13, 2010.

Here is the official web site for truTV's Conspiracy Theory:

http://www.trutv.com/shows/conspiracy_theory/index.html

According to press reports, 1.6 million viewers watched the premiere episode
on December 2, which set a record for the network. I was one of those
viewers. And I've seen each of this first season's 7 episodes.

Predictably, mainstream critics have universally condemned the series. Linda
Stasi of The Washington Times said the show is "Mindless, good fun and a
hoot to watch aging action stars still taking action." Robert Lloyd of the
Los Angeles Times said, "Whatever truth is out there, it's filtered here
through what is arranged more as an adventure series than a documentary."

First of all, let me state up front that I typically disdain "reality"
shows. The only ones that are any good are Les Stroud's Survivorman and Bear
Grylls' Man vs. Wild (and I really enjoy both of those programs). The rest
of the so-called "reality" shows are junk, as far as I'm concerned (okay, I
did enjoy watching a few episodes of Ice Road Truckers).

Contrary to the rants of modern critics, however, Ventura's Conspiracy
Theory is not "reality" television or "mindless, good fun." It is better
investigative reporting than anything I've seen on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or FOX
NEWS in a long, long time.

For the most part, the mainstream media have become lackeys and lap dogs for
the established political order and the powerful potentates that control it.
Yes, I'm saying it: we have a tightly controlled mainstream media in America
today (especially at the national level). Reporters are told what to report
(or more fittingly, what NOT to report) and how to report it; and any
reporter or journalist who dares to step outside the box will quickly be
unemployed. And for those of you journalists and reporters who are reading
this right now, if you smirk at what I just said, why don't you try it and
see what happens? Anything that challenges the establishment's order is
totally off-limits. Every reporter and journalist working for the
establishment media knows where the "third rail" is--and they avoid it at
all costs. And the cost is TRUTH.

No wonder the critics hate Ventura's show: here was the first season episode
lineup (taken from its web site):

Week One: HAARP

Is it a communications research project or a doomsday weapon that can change
the weather, shoot satellites out of orbit--and trigger mind control across
the globe? Jesse Ventura and his team head north to a remote region of
Alaska to confront the military installation called HAARP.

Week Two: 9/11

Jesse Ventura steps into America's most controversial conspiracy by
challenging the 9/11 Commission Report and searching for evidence that the
September 11th attacks may have been an inside job. At the urging of
victims' families, he finds witnesses who claim the towers were brought down
by explosives, the missing black box flight recorders were actually
recovered and ground control knew the hijackers were in the cockpits before
the jets took off.

Week Three: Global Warming

Whether global warming is real or not, it's believed some people are using
the issue to make billions of dollars, start a one-world government and
control our lives, from the cars we drive to the foods we eat. Jesse Ventura
starts with Al Gore and goes far beyond as he uncovers the evidence that
leads to one man thought to be behind the global warming conspiracy.

Week Four: Big Brother

Big Brother is watching and it's not who you think. Jesse Ventura's
investigation of government surveillance on its citizens tears the lid off a
nationwide program that is thought to turn local businessmen and office
workers into spies, snooping on their neighbors and ratting on their friends
in exchange for information and special privileges from the FBI--including,
some charge, a "license to kill."

Week Five: Secret Societies

They're thought to be a group of the world's elite who meet once a year at a
luxury hotel and decide how they will run the world. It's believed they plan
to thin out the population through disease--and vaccines. Jesse Ventura
infiltrates the Bilderberg Group.

Week Six: Manchurian Candidate

Authors and experts warn that forces within the government have revived a
program that uses mind control techniques to turn ordinary citizens into
programmed assassins. This real-life Manchurian Candidate seems
outlandish--until Jesse Ventura searches for the evidence and goes
face-to-face with a man who claims he's one of the killers.

Week Seven: Apocalypse 2012

It's believed that the world is heading for disaster in 2012 and the
government is preparing to save and protect the elite--while leaving the
rest of us to fend for ourselves. Jesse Ventura investigates claims of top
secret underground bunkers being built in places ranging from the Nevada
desert to the White House, including the largest, now under construction
beneath a major metropolitan airport.

As one can easily see, each of these topics is a "third rail" to the vast
majority of the mainstream media--especially at the national level. Yet,
Ventura (and truTV) had the guts to tackle these topics head-on. And he
broached each investigation with a deliberate professionalism and dogged
determination befitting a Navy SEAL.

As far as I am concerned, anyone who believes that there is no concerted
effort--no conspiracy, if you please--by wealthy and powerful individuals to
steal our liberties and turn us into slaves and serfs is totally not paying
attention, or is in a psychotic dream world of denial, or is a compliant
partner with the conspiracy.

How Christians, especially, can doubt the existence of a devilish conspiracy
to trample not only our freedom, but also our faith, is doubly
disconcerting. Does not Scripture plainly warn, "Why do the heathen rage,
and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his
anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their
cords from us." (Psalms 2:1-3 KJV)

Christians, of all people, should be the first ones to join in fighting
against the promoters and purveyors of this devilish New World Order that is
wreaking havoc upon our country. That so many of them are not is a stain
against the Church--of gargantuan proportions!

Did Ventura get every jot and tittle perfect? Probably not. Given the depth
of the corruption and cover up that has gone into the promotion and
implementation of the matters discussed--not to mention the limited time and
resources available to Ventura and his small staff--that he was able to dig
up the amount of testimony and material that he did was absolutely amazing.

I anxiously await the arrival of the entire first season on DVD. I suggest
you obtain a copy as soon as they are available, as well, because this
program will probably face the same fate as the CBS program JERICHO: swift
cancellation. The powers that be are adamantly opposed to the light of truth
shining on their dark desires and draconian designs. If you doubt that, get
this:

"In a lenthy academic paper, President Obama's regulatory czar, Cass
Sunstein, argued the U.S. government should ban 'conspiracy theorizing.'

"Among the beliefs Sunstein would ban is advocating that the theory of
global warming is a deliberate fraud.

"Sunstein also recommended the government send agents to infiltrate [I'm
sure they already do] 'extremists who supply conspiracy theories' to disrupt
the efforts of the 'extremists' to propagate their theories."

In the coming Brave New World currently being manufactured by today's
globalists, even believing "conspiracy theories" might soon be illegal. Do
you really think they will let patriots such as Jesse Ventura continue to
awaken people to what's going on? So, you'd better get the DVDs while you
can (and if you can).

In the meantime, Thank you, Governor. It was a job well done!

So? He's also a Vietnam Vet. I say let the man live/retire where he wants (as long as he's LEGAL of course)

Ventura continued to wrestle until September 1984, when blood clots in his lungs ended his in-ring career; it forced him to miss a title match against WWF Champion Hulk Hogan.[1] Ventura claimed the blood clots were a result of his exposure to Agent Orange during his time in Vietnam.[1][

I don't agree with all this man's viewpoints - some are a little out there and he's a bit too liberal for me. But he's no more "off the wall" than Alex Jones.
