Jesse Ventura Suspects a Conspiracy About His Show About Conspiracies (incl. video)
Of course ‘Conspiracy Theory’ has to have the entertainment value
to get aired, but Jesse really has exposed some stuff I didn’t think
would make it to TV. I hope he can continue to do so. Once again, it’s
so “out there”, that most people will not take it seriously, and that’s
what the Illuminati have always counted on, but times they are
a-changing.
Jesse Ventura Suspects a Conspiracy About His Show About Conspiracies — The Atlantic Cautiously Praises Controversial TV Show
His TruTV program brings in big ratings investigating time travel and
lizard people. But when he starts questioning the government…
By James McGirk | The Atlantic
Most retired governors use their connections to assume quiet but
well-paid positions in the private sector, or loud but well-paid
positions as commentators on cable news networks. Former Minnesota
Governor Jesse Ventura lately, though, has been prowling obscure
government facilities, confronting squirming civil servants, and
demanding “the truth” while hosting a reality television show on TruTV
called Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura.
In the third season, the show has hit its stride. Two lackluster
investigators have been replaced with Jesse Ventura’s son Tyrel and
Oliver Stone’s son Sean. The chemistry is great. Tyrel is skinny and
slightly awkward and dresses like Humphrey Bogart in The Big Sleep,
standing in stark contrast from his ranting hulk of a father. Sean
Stone is leather-clad and rebellious, assigned only the most dangerous
missions. A third investigator, June Sarpong, is a British West African
with a posh accent and an MBE (Member of the British Empire, a step
below a knighthood). The subject matter will be familiar to anyone
interested in conspiracies, but is presented with flair. White vans pull
up and reveal contacts (who always seem to be old cronies of
Ventura’s). The team interviews mad colonels, mystics and time
travelers. It moves along at a relentless pace with considerable charm.
It’s entertaining stuff, and the ratings are blockbuster for cable.
About 1.5 million people watch the premiere of each episode, and many
more see the series in reruns. But for all its goofy appeal, Conspiracy Theory has
occasionally seemed to strike on something real–and, as befits both his
program’s subject matter and his own personal history, Ventura now is
convinced that someone is out to shut the program down.
The suspicions began in November 2010, when truTV aired a doozy of an
episode, called “Police State.” It was spliced with footage of World
War II concentration camps and implied that FEMA could be about to
institute martial law. The team explored a network of government centers
that use data-mining software to comb through intelligence gathered by
federal agencies, presumably to look for potential terror suspects. (It
would work a bit like Google’s keyword advertising: The software might
flag someone whose emails to Pakistan mentioned crop-spraying, the
precursors for Sarin gas, for example.) They interviewed a young Ron
Paul supporter who was put on a government watch list for no apparent
reason. Then the team infiltrated a storage facility containing hundreds
of thousands of plastic grave liners. Next stop was a pair of
mysterious government installations that looked like prisons but had
playgrounds attached to them. Finally Ventura flew to Washington D.C. to
confront the authors of a bill, H.R. 645 that authorized FEMA to
designate military bases as “National Emergency Centers.”
Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-PA6) refused to meet with Ventura, so Ventura
confronted Rep. Steve Cohen, one of the bill’s co-sponsors. Cohen
floundered during the interview. He seemed unfamiliar with the bill and
flustered by Ventura’s thundering rebukes. After the telecast, he released an op-ed accusing
Turner Broadcasting System of gross inaccuracy, condemned the
references to the Holocaust, and compared the “dangerously stirred
fears” to Timothy McVeigh’s “consuming hatred and distrust of
government… The show makes professional wrestling, where Ventura earned
his fortune, look like an Olympic sport,” Cohen said.
A typical episode gets rerun dozens of times, but “Police State”
aired once and then never again. (It’s circulating on YouTube, uploaded
by users who say it’s been “banned.”) A representative of Turner
Broadcasting System (which owns TruTV) said that the “Prison State”
episode did not repeat after the initial telecast because of scheduling
considerations. Ventura thinks it’s more than that.
