Quotes
Jesse Ventura:
[
In the intro to the show]
Hidden power, secrets, cover-ups, corruption. You think you know the whole story? Think again. I've been governor, a Navy SEAL, a fighter. I've heard things that will blow your mind. And now I think it's time that you get the whole story.

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.
