The government/military involvement in Hollywood is well trodden ground. You only have to look at some of the stuff Disney/Warner Brothers were churning out in the 40’s. There’s a particular Bugs Bunny cartoon that they can’t show any more as he’s fighting against the Japanese in it and hurls a few racist insults at them.
More recently, there was controversy over American Sniper and Zero Dark Thirty, which are, let’s be honest, state propaganda pieces to improve the reputation of the US military.
Operation Paperclip, which one of his guests talks about in hushed tones and claims is still denied by some (it absolutely isn’t) is also well trodden and established ground.
As is MK UKTRA, both the US and UK ran extensive trials with psychotropics to see how they could alter the human mind. How successful they were, is of course the matter for debate.
Few other alarm bells were his repeating of “I’ve seen documents that say...” or “Someone high up told me...” - without furnishing evidence of either (a popular Alex Jones trick)
Also the bit about him ‘finding Jesus’... I’ve got no problem with people of faith, but in my experience, people who shoehorn this into these types of documentaries usually make some major reaches with their theories based on their faith.
Is the second half of it any better?
