Not To Be Missed!
Q: What do you give the Family that owns nearly everything already? A: Nothing; they'll just take the rest of it themselves, thank you. It's the Last Christmas, and all of us are neatly wrapped under their shining tree! No matter where you come down on the Illuminati Conspiracy, this is empowering, must-see filmmaking, unlike anything you'll have seen before - a combination call-to-arms and Disney ride. Producer/director/star Gamble (himself a scion of a Proctor & Gamble family) and his co-host wife, attempt to connect the dots in a plausible, powerful way -- the suppression of Tesla's free-energy discoveries; the harassment, ruin, and even murder of inventors working in this area in ways that threaten Big Oil; the patient but inexorable reorganization of the world's nation-states into fewer and fewer continental "unions" (for easier conquest and control, the film concludes); the clockwork prosperity/depression cycles that permit bankers to scoop up the world's assets at fire sale values time and again; the puppet-string manipulation of both American political parties so that those in real control can never lose an election; all of it is covered here in this longish but riveting film. Its release just comes as the NYPD attempts to shut down the Occupy Wall Street protests, in the wee hours and under a press blackout - perfect and ironic timing! In the film's view, humanity is at a critical crossroads, and the choices are enslavement or waking up. Is it all true? If it is, this is probably about the best case that can be made for it, as well as a clarion cry to resist.
