Just... no.

Even if the assertions (very vaguely defined and "proved") were individually true it is just not plausible.

1. Proof requires bold predictions, i.e it makes well-defined and verifiable predictions that apply to all future evidence. Stringing together isolated events and saying "See! These carefully selected events all fit with my master theory because I say so" and then leaving it with no verifiability or bold predictions is all very well, but can it tell me anything about future events? No. It's worthless.

2. Theories must be disprovable. Nothing anyone does or says will disprove the theory, therefore it is not a theory.

3. Occam's razor. We must always prefer the simplest hypothesis that fits all of the evidence, and a convoluted master plan does not fit this definition. It is simpler to assume religion, politics and economics work like they do/did in the textbooks.

4. I say that dogs are robot spies from Venus and the Eiffel Tower is their secret transmitter, but nobody suspects it!. The facts all fit with my theory, it can't be disproved and so I've "proved it's true". It evidently isn't, and neither is your video.

Ah, so you're the kind of person who has to be spoon fed the information, basically suggesting you can't think and make your own opinion on the matter on your own, besides classifying it as a "waste of time". Gotcha. There's a lot of you in the world, and I understand your position.

 I'd think twice before passing judgement on people you don't know.  It makes you come across as an idiot.  I'd suggest you're more of a sheep for believing this stuff, but I'll let you believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want.  Don't come here with wild conspiracies and expect me to believe them.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I can believe the majority of the film. It's very scary the first time you watch.
