If not available online, many libraries have a DVD version.
Done as a documentary, thought it *still* feels LONG, but very good. - 4/28/13, 1:50 AM

Is there anything in it that a reader of Rodg's blog doesn't already know?

Alear, I would say yes, there are things we didn't know. The relationships between the organizations and individuals who are part of the agenda is well laid out. I had only the vaguest notion, and I knew somthing like that MUST be true, but someone did the research and put it out there. And when I saw it I knew it was even worse than I thought.

I don't know if I can handle "even worse than I thought". Thanks for the tip though.

Skooj:
Thanks for the info, I had trouble with the link. I could hear audio but couldn't see video.
Here is a second source:
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/125894/AGENDA_Grinding_America_Down_Full_Movie/
It lays out a very convincing argument, most around here are probably familiar, but could learn a few things watching it.

Two best observations it makes are that we’ve progressed from a Normal Rockwell America to a Jackson Pollock America and that the numbers who are willing to work have been outpaced by those who aren’t (my words, not the movie’s).
Problem is that it says those in the first coupla minutes and then takes another hour and a quarter selling a conspiracy theory without even a nod to the extreme difficulty in keepin’ ‘em down on the farm after they’ve seen Paree. - 4/28/13, 4:15 PM

Too much emphasis on prayer? What has happened to our great Republic since LBJ and Co. (1961) removed prayer from the public and launched a full frontal assault on all things good, beautiful and true? And they’ve been winning while we sat on our hands.

"Too much emphasis on prayer? What has happened to our great Republic.."
One should not expect or even ask a non-Christian to pray. It's hard enough to get the “saved” on board with this thing.
"then takes another hour and a quarter selling a conspiracy theory"
My friend, it's all perfectly true but completely incomprehensible to those who do not hold a Christian world view. I don't even have to ax if you're in the same boat as our friend Skoonj.
There's plenty of room in our boat boys and we need some strong backs and arms. Like it or not ballots or even bullets ain't gonna cut it.

Skoonj:
I plan to watch it and thanks for the tip. It maybe something that could be recommended to low info types of which I sadly know many.
Also, Skoonj, I am probably as religious in my outlook on and practice of life as you are not. That said, over the years I have found common cause and friendship with agnotics, atheists and assorted non-believers in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. So, bring a book to read while we pray and then let's get to work. - 4/28/13, 8:25 PM

Isador, I didn't say there was too much emphasis on prayer. I did say, though, that "much of the prescription for our side winning has to do with religion, praying, and so on, which doesn't seem to include me." Big difference.
caplight45, yes, understand that. Of course I'm non-religious, not anti-religious. - 4/28/13, 9:02 PM

Whoa, whoa, whoa. When did Jackson Pollock turn into the bad guy? He kicked serious French butt.
If you don't care for PostModern art, that fine. Just show me a quicker way to turn some house paint and canvas into $100MM. - 4/28/13, 9:55 PM

Caplight: Thank you. I'm sure there are others like you, but it is great to hear one of you come out and say it. I'm glad to know that at least one believer realizes that many of us are on the same side. - 4/29/13, 6:45 AM

I believe strongly that those who practice a moderate form of religion are better neighbors, parents, friends, and citizens than those who practice none or a radical form of some belief system.
Doesn't mean it works for me personally. My wife is an old-fashioned, devout Roman Catholic who prays for my soul regularly. I just don't find the practice contagious.
It's like seafood with me -- can't get it past my nose, but I have no intention of interfering with others' enjoyment of the stuff, and I'll admit that most of it IS more healthful than red meat for humans, especially in my age group (septuagenarian).
What I tend to do is tolerate other people's beliefs, customs, appetites, habits, whatever . . . 'til they get all up in my face with 'em. Then I tend to become scarce. - 4/29/13, 7:03 AM
