Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura

While Ventura attempts to draw viewers in with an often aggressive 'I'm going to get to the bottom of this' attitude, the show's research methodology and lack of hard evidence beg ridicule. Those sources interviewed by the show tend to lack credibility, such as an accredited degree in the subject matter, and few such sources are able to provide any verifiable evidence. On occasion, the show triumphs by denying the conspiratorial claims and, in so doing, brings them further ridicule. However, the show consistently provides inflamed or outright false information when representing their claims. I have found that this show can be quite useful as a tool for sharpening one's critical thinking skills. Such skills are not taught in the show, but can be exercised by attempting to prove or disprove that which is demonstrated by Mr. Ventura and his team.

Too many facts are in place with years of investigations that should not be ignored. If you think you are still living in America, perhaps staying asleep would be a proper activity. I admire Mr. Ventura for his courage in attempting to open the closed doors of this dark period of American History. I believe that there is more information available with more research that would make the cases more intelligent and credible, but naming sources unfortunately makes a network liable. The very simple fact is that information would be open to media scrutiny if there were not criminal and dangerous activities being addressed. It is difficult to swallow sensationalism, but I for one no longer find it easy to sleep at night or accept that half of my life savings disappeared into the coffers of unspecified institutions when in a Casino I could at least have enjoyed a drink on the house.

They may have a few points in there but it's packaged inside hours of dross, with absolutely no common sense applied in any of the episodes I've watched so far.

His 'investigator' June is a well known TV host from England with, I suspect, no actual knowledge or experience in the field of investigation. Ventura himself just seems like a knuckle head who'll believe anything told to him so long as it's by some 'informer/insider' with zero credibility.

The whole show is melodramatic, over the top rubbish that'll feed the already fruit loop conspiracy theorists out there while leaving the more sane ones among us scratching our heads as to how this lasted for three series.

There sure are a lot of shills on this site. I watched the series and found them interesting. But I can see how the government and their shills would vote this down. Go away shills!!! It is always interesting to me that the government is willing to do all types of illegal activities, manipulate the truth, and no one ever calls them on it. My advise is to just ignore those negative votes and just put them down to more of the governments manipulations. It's only obvious that the government wouldn't want this information out, much less to have people believe the truth.

The initial thought we get if a person believes a conspiracy theory is they are paranoid and gullible (because somehow in our own gullibility, we believe our politicians tell us the absolute truth and act only in our interest), so when a former US governor puts his name to a show that is investigating these mad allegations we should take heed. I've just watched the first episode about HAARP and while the information given is vital and informative, American TV fails again. The information and whole point of the show becomes lost and irrelevant as the makers try to focus and capture the viewers imagination with spooky misleading music and narration, really annoying sound effects makes this show (like most US documentary shows) completely artificial, pompous and patronizing. The most annoying thing about this is that instead of the angry shock of what the investigators discovered, the viewer is left with a sense of comfortable normalization of the topic discussed. I don't blame Jesse Ventura, instead I blame the makers for making it more of a reality show about him than the topic at hand. However, Jesse should take responsibility for some of the rhetoric one-liners he used such as "I don't get intimidated, I get angry" which was used at least 3 times. I'll give this a rating of 4 or 5 for drawing credible attention to topics that have become sneered at in a world with an easily controlled status quo. But I would honestly recommend YouTube for these topics instead.
