Alex Jones is just one of many conservatives in America that are funded and promoted by the Koch brothers, just like the Tea Party movement, Libertarians and many Republicans. Alex Jones' task is to defend the interests of the monopolist Kochs, which means supporting cuts to health care and social security, badmouthing the Soviet Union, and distracting people from the problems of monopoly capitalism in America. You don't get to appear on The View if you're against the establishment. The Kochs are not the only elite group in the USA, but they're definitely one of the most important and influential. They do have one redeeming value though - they seem to be against big wars. Alex Jones is a vile lying character.

It seems to be a minority of viewers who can see that this movie was made with the intention of basically mocking some of the more ridiculously-hardcore conspiracy theorists. The title is misleading, as before watching the movie you expect it to have been made by conspiracy theorists in support of their theories. After viewing it, while many maintain that impression, some do realize that this movie isn't meant to prove or disprove anything. It's just meant to expose a sect of fanaticism, like Religulous, Jesus Camp, and Trekkies did, albeit in tongue-in-cheek fashion. The film makers clearly meant to remain somewhat ambiguous about their intentions. They may even have meant to deliberately mislead many viewers, a kind of "conspiracy" against those of substandard intelligence. This movie mocks them without letting them know they're being mocked.

I've been reading the board for this documentary, and I really think a lot of people have it wrong.To me, this is a great documentary. People who are trying to argue one side or the other of the conspiracy theory, using this film as justification, are just plain looking at it the wrong way. This is about people. It's not meant to enlighten the viewer on the details of any of these theories. In fact, one thing I noticed quite a bit was how details of the actual beliefs of these people are mostly left out. Of course we hear them yell at protests, and talk about their beliefs, but this is more about understanding the person.We get the stories of several different people: how they started with their current beliefs, how it's changed their lives, how their daily lives are occupied with this stuff. In the end, it all ties together.At the end of it all, I personally see this as a film showing us how these are all real people who, while possibly misguided, are not genuinely crazy (the exception possibly being Jones, even though you end up feeling bad for him in a way). These are just people who ended up on the path they're on for one reason or another, like we all do.I think that anyone who can watch this objectively will enjoy it. Don't let yourself get caught up in whether or not 9/11 was a conspiracy or how evil the Bildergerg Group is. This is a study of people... of a very particular culture of people, but people nonetheless.

First things first, the elitist drivel I read in the reviews would have made me laugh if i felt like we even saw the same movie. ... The reason I say that is, this movie was objective, not sympathetic of the activists being followed because they are delusional (remember conspiracies happen.. Iran/contra..Pinochet...Watergate) but proud of the dedication it takes to actually live your ideals and be active in what you care about. the fact that the directors were surrounded with some of the most voracious researchers for so long becomes evident if you actually watch them interviewed on the Alex Jones show on infowars.com or in their other promo for this movie. They are along for the ride, you cannot forget that, they are the first audience to this film as it happens live. The fact that they don't get involved with the material itself is because that is not the goal of this film .. and totally uncalled for in a day where polls show 80 percent of the people don't believe every last lie the dick and bush team posted on their road too more then a couple mass graves/torture photos and emails/halliburton contracts ups in the mid east. I mean lets remember who we are talking about. this movies is perfect for anyone wondering what the rabbit hole is like on a day to day basis, but will never convince you there's a microchip in your credit card/phone/passport. and considering how stupid some people are it makes sense this movie would get praise from some people who don't even understand the point. i see it as such... That America might be eFFed up enough to murder 3,000 people ONE DAY, and beautiful enough for us to tell you why it only takes 10 minutes to scramble an F16 in June and an Hour by September THE NEXT DAY (pentagon papers put themselves in the way)
