content

Like all of Jones' other films, the film warns of a " New World Order " that will bring "a global darkness and a new age of tyranny and oppression with a scientific cloak". The film alternates between the assertion that the “New World Order” has already dawned and the thesis that it is imminent.

In this film, Jones primarily focuses on the American President Barack Obama and his actions during his young presidency. However, John F. Kennedy , George HW Bush and the administration of George W. Bush are also mentioned. In essence, the film discusses the conspiracy theory that all American presidents since the 1960s have served as " puppets " for other institutions and people. It will include the Rothschild family , Rockefeller family as those institutions Federal Reserve Bank , the banks of Wall Street , the Bilderberg Group , the military-industrial complex known which possess the real "power behind the throne".

Jones claims that Obama was carefully installed by powerful elite families and is deliberately acting against the interests of the American people . Using excerpts and quotes from mainstream media, the film tries to make plausible how this elite is using Obama with the aim of tricking the American people into accepting their global agenda. This agenda includes, among other things, forced military service, unauthorized wiretapping of the population , FEMA camps, martial law and a World Bank that would rule America through CO 2 taxes .

reception

One day after the documentary was released in 2009, Andrew Napolitano , presenter of Fox News online magazine Freedom Watch, praised the content of the film in a joint broadcast with Alex Jones.

By mid-2013, the video, which spread the conspiracy theory of “a dictatorial Anglo-American world order”, “influential elites and bankers”, had 13 million hits on YouTube . A deranged man who shot at the White House in November 2011 with the intention of killing President Obama also watched the film there. According to the political scientist Michael Barkun, this strengthened the assassin's tendency to demonize Obama, who believed himself to be Jesus Christ and Barack Obama to be the Antichrist .
