Do you not agree that Hollywood is involved in the mass brain-washing of people?
What about the fact that the film makers told YouTube to take the infowars vid down?

Makers of movies RELY on taking people out of every day life and entrenching them in a fantasy. It is WHY we watch movies. There is no brainwashing or anything of the sort. We watch science fiction to enjoy that slither of "What if". We enjoy horror to experience that "OH NO!" and we love soppy crap because "I'm lonely."
We Pay for it, we expect it and we accept it.
But as soon as this goes on, some nerd goes "Derpderp day takin yer brains away dude derpderp" and somehow You're the genius that knows all?
Brain washing... ffs..
And heres a tip.. put any copyright material on youtube and you'll have it removed. Blame copyright laws - which I despise btw - and not the ogre of superfluous control the tptb seemingly thrust upon you.

Excellent! Your post is the best example of the ignorace I was writting about.
Do you know the OP enough to assume their occupation, leisure activity, or relationship status? Maybe their hobby is conspriracy theories. Mine is and I bet more than half here would say the same. That's why we're here!
Instead of making degrading comments based on sterotypical profiling of anyone with an alternative view, make an intelligent post based on the knowledge you've obtained. True not everything is a conspiracy. However, there is more going on in the world than anyone of us knows.edit on 24-7-2012 by iwan2ski because: (no reason given)

You have to be careful with Alex Jones but the fact is, he has a point here.
For instance, in the Dark Knight, Batman used new tech to create imagery of the area from people's mobile phones- that is flat out propaganda promoting the surveillance state. It equates our security with giving up privacy rights.
I recently rented the J Edgar Hoover film and turned it off after 20 minutes because it was pure propaganda for the surveillance state.
As Alex Jones says, we may not consciously connect the dots, but when we are watching films, our subconscious is forever at work making sense of the info and for that reason, Hollywood does brain wash us.
EDIT- I still watch the films, I enjoyed the new Batman film, but a few times in the film I was aware of little subtle things they add to the film that I consider propaganda.

Sorry, but I think your view of the reasoning behind using the mobile phones to geolocate The Joker in "TDK" is a bit off.
If anything, it was meant as a question of 'how much liberty are you willing to sacrifice for security?" Remember, Morgan Freeman's character tells Bruce Wayne that for as long as that system is running, he will have nothing to do with Wayne Enterprises. If anything, it was an open question to things such as the Patriot Act and Internet surveillance, and how much will we tolerate if our safety is threatened.
