Thanks for the memories!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I am fascinated when people put documentaries together with so much facts and information. I purchased the book he spoke of in the movie "The Naked Communist" which was written by an ex-FBI agent in regards to the information our government collected on the agenda of those pushing communism. He even referenced the goals of communism and what is going on in our country right in front of our eyes.Fascinating with facts, quotes, interviews, flow charts, and more. I also recommend watching the follow-up documentary Agenda 2 Masters of Deceit and another documentary called Enemies Within by Trevor Loudon. After watching these it is unquestionable what is happening in our country.

First of all if you have managed to make it to this review through all the either left or right leaning political reviews I will be amazed. I fall into neither category. Let me start by saying this doc is very well shot. Regardless of the content, the actual production work of this doc is very well put together. Having said that, there are a lot of claims made in this movie. I would have liked to seen some real links drawn from them. Shown the actual documents that link said person A. with communist party end link. This was done in the case of someone like Van Jones. There are lots of other claims they make but they aren't making those links. I'm not saying they don't exist, I am saying they didn't prove the link. Second, while there are a lot of claims about agenda being accomplished, I'm not sure they prove that it is indeed the communist party being responsible for this agenda being accomplished. It having been mapped out and it being the people who mapped it out being responsible for it's unfolding are two separate things. Lastly the heavy religious tilt of this doc is hard to over look. This link to communism anti Christianity is amazingly baffling. Like communists are the ones who cause the fall of Christianity and the moral decay of culture. In their eyes being non Christian almost equates to being communist or a useful idiot. As someone who is non Christian and rather agnostic. I promise you I'm not out to destroy Christianity (you can believe what ever you want) nor am I a "useful idiot." Never mentioned is the fact that people here things like "virgin" birth and roll their eyes much like if your wife or gf came up to you and told you they had a "virgin" birth of someone of the other race. You'd be like virgin BS. People just look for things that are logical and reasonable and are not finding them in Christianity which is half mysticism. It has nothing to do with communism! The fall of Christianity lays on it's own issues and an ever increasing population who is more educated an unafraid to question things that just don't sound right. While I have no doubt there are people out there who believe in communism, the fact is, it is a very small percentage of people. While socialism is a more accepted practice, I think people in this country are ever more aware of disliking corrupt governments who are all linked together and there are actually more people leaned on the anarchy side of their scale. 7/10 for production value and some of the things they talk about, but it really needs more meat to it.

Propaganda is the art of fear. Propagandists play on the fear of the masses, building a seemingly fault proof structure of a giant Goliath in the form of their adversaries, giving themselves the moral right - or so they pretend - to vilify them and call for their destruction. What propagandists conceal from their audience is their own fear, however. The only reason they have resorted to this tactic is that they, deep down themselves, are sure that they cannot win the hearts and minds of people any other way.When looking at this documentary given this context, we see a conservative propaganda spending a lot of time criticizing and vilifying a Goliath of their own fabrication constituting of liberals, progressives, socialists, communists, and pretty much every one but themselves. In doing so, they connect some real dots with plenty others imaginary to complete the picture, and in doing so, they are showing a mixture of paranoia and ignorance that is sometimes genuine but mostly fake. Ironically, the tactics this movie endorses are the same tactics it criticizes. But it doesn't matter to the producers, as what only matters is that "God is on their side."The hypocrisy of conservatives notwithstanding, the documentary shows some element of truth when discussing the link between communism and totalitarianism - a well known historical fact. But what's so deceptive about it is that it puts everything in the same basket of totalitarianism: fascism, communism, environmentalism, socialism, feminism, unions, gay rights advocacy, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism...you name it. And when you are waiting eagerly for the facts to unravel throughout the documentary to validate such encapsulation, you are presented by none except some names of Obama advisers with leftist background (used to build the case for the Communist conspiracy), and the same old rhetoric about the Bible, the hand of God, the founding fathers, and America "the greatest nation in the history of the whole world."What's missing verbally from this documentary can be easily read between the lines uttered by the obsolete interviewees: mainly ultra nationalism, war mongering, sexism, classism, and - of course - a lot of hypocrisy. In one time you hear an interviewee lamenting a socialist leader for being against the Vietnam war, then after five minutes or so you hear another interviewee talking about how only the Judo-Christian culture value all human beings, both opinions being used as evidences of the documentary's thesis.Watching the whole of a documentary with a lot of nonsense and mumbo jumbo is not an easy task., but the rewards make the effort all worthwhile. I have always been perplexed by the strong inclination of religious conservatism towards free-market capitalism instead of other forms, and I have always seen it as their last stand to make hold of their obsolete ideas. For without the shield, that is huge funds, they would stand bare naked in the battle of ideas, in which truth is the only judge. And as I have seen in this movie, they wouldn't stand a chance of winning.

Baby Boomers know where we came from. We see where we are. This documentary shows how we got here, who is behind it and where we are going. It gives references and facts which can be checked for accuracy. Why are laws and regulations so complicated now? What happened to the nuclear family? Why is a greater portion of society on public assistance? Why do our schools seem to distort history? These questions and more are answered. Regardless of where you stand, this clarifies events which may have seemed random. With that clarity, you can begin to see the future.Be prepared to freeze frame to examine flow charts. Content is a little slow at first but picks up. I watched in 30 minute installments.
