are you guys familiar with this? It's sort of a self-help/"mind-opener" that masks itself as a study of string theory, unifying theory, subatomic stuff. It's full of new age tripe, fake, Madonna-esque English accents, and crazy shit about how water has memory and emotions.

It's like it's trying to sneak in homeopathy, Ouija boards, recce healing, and clairvoyance under the radar and make it look scientific.

Is this crap even worth debunking?

yes awful patronsing self centred shit. Almost as bad as the secret. Almost.

Well for one thing, in the water scene in the movie, the old lady says that we should keep in mind that we are made of 90% water when the true figure is about 60%. If they screw up such basic figures it detracts greatly from their credibility. And it annoyed me.

What really troubles me is how they have actual physicists on that movie. Were they angry with the finished product? I mean what self respecting scientist would want to be in a movie with Ramtha?

Yes, some scientists were not happy the way they were represented. If you watch closely, you'll see how their sentences were chopped up and combined with sentences from quantum mystics in order to make them seem like they were saying something they really weren't.

"I was edited in such a way as to completely suppress my actual views about the matters the movie discusses. I am, indeed, profoundly unsympathetic to attempts at linking quantum mechanics with consciousness. Moreover, I explained all that, at great length, on camera, to the producers of the film ... Had I known that I would have been so radically misrepresented in the movie, I would certainly not have agreed to be filmed."

Hey Danny, now you know how we feel about Alex Jones

Magic all up in this bitch.

"And" maybe that should teach you that maybe you should honestly check to see if Alex Jones isn't as disgustingly dishonest as these people are?

Or do you not care if you are duped into believing something equally stupid for different reasons?

This film quoting people out of context is no different from when Alex Jones and other conspiracy theorists doing it.

Danny, AJ makes much more than just minor mistakes.

No, the idea that the gov't would invade your privacy is not a stupid idea. It's the "logic" that he uses to get to his conclusions. To AJ, gov't invasion of privacy is....THEY'RE GONNA COME INTO YOUR HOUSE, AND KILL ALL YOUR BABIES!!!!! (He actually said something like that once). Also, if you feel like it, search "Alex Jones y2k" on youtube. If you EVER bring that broadcast up in an AJ forum, they say things like, "Oh, is that all you have, a recording of Jones from 10 years ago?!?!?!"

His Y2K broadcast shows the great lengths he'll go to, to make a sensation, and how much he'll lie. That or you could just check things he says in his older movies.

Hey Danny do you believe Silverstein admitted to blowing up his own building on TV?

Alex Jones claims he did and to prove that he said that "pull it" meant to put explosives in buildings to demolish them.

He quoted a documentary called "American Rebuilds" to prove this but stops the tape after someone says "We're getting ready to pull building 6", that's because right afterwards you see they are literally using CABLES to PULL it down. But Alex claimed that this proved "pull it" was a demolition term to mean using explosives. Ealrier in the film which again he didn't show you they even say that explosive demolition for the other WTC buildings was not viable as it was too dangerous for workers to plant explosives.

That's the kind of person you defend, who then goes to Silverstein's offices and bullhorns "murderer!" with a bunch of other idiots.

There's hundreds of other kinds of stupid stuff like that.
