Definitely, the content in this video is a little over-the-top, incredibly speculative, and hardly factual...
That being said, I think it's fascinating work. And they definitely have some compelling points (the ones that reflect reality
). Towards the end, the fictional part of the video is also fascinating, painting a picture like we're heading towards becoming "The matrix" or something (and in reality, there's no long-term government conspiracy longer than the 4 year cycle of "please re-elect me because..." ...and that already is enough of a government corrupting factor), that is equally fascinating on a fictional level.

I couldn't take my eyes off it for 20 minutes. it's got this old-school trance/industrial beat going on that has it's own retro-conspiracy vibe to it.
I'm just sitting here now listening to that soundtrack, and it's a whole different layer - worth listening to it without watching.
Makes you think. Just don't get sucked in.
Props for recognizing where reality ends and fiction begins. Genious for these film creators for creating a piece of propaganda-style media that lets us all use our own cynicism to determine exactly where we think that line is.
