Bob you simply cannot receive enough praise for what you do and who you are. Your ideals, albeit grim, are logical, intelligent and philosophically deep. Your disregard to conformity to social norms, logic, intelligence, philosophy, and outright acceptance of the truth make you a true inspiration. It also puts you in the situation which is the vain of every intellectual person - you'd make an ideal politician. The fact that you actually understand how the real world functions and not just how the political world functions world bring a somewhat fresh change. A true intellect in power would be a dream - ironically proving to be a ray of hope in your own grim philosophy. Movie Bob for president? Hell yeah. Movie Bob for supreme reptilian overlord? Only after you convert me to Godzillaism. Pipe dreams they are, my gratification can be summed up quite simply - thank you Bob.

The problem with the bumbling intelligence service idea is that even if they were 100% convinced that Saddam had WMDs, so what? We know Kim Jong Il has WMDs but nobody's doing anything about him. Even with WMDs what could Saddam have done? Throw some gas at Kuwait? Why would we care about that? The easiest part is not planting the evidence, the easiest part is talking up a lie on the media. All that needs is talking and talking is the one thing politicians know how to do. Planting evidence would have the problem of whistleblowers but just repeating lies... What exactly were the real consequences for the people who talked about WMDs all day? There's no need to fake evidence because nobody really cares.
Bob seems pretty well informed about the the nature of reality and the way the world is run for a guy who makes movie reviews out of still pictures... And giving no evidence to his claims, other than, shit happens... You don't think conspiracies sometimes happen, Bob? I'm not going to go into detail of how much money the military industrial complex made form Iraq and Afghanistan, but let me give you my favorite example. There was a pretty big scandal in the country I'm from, Lithuania, about a decade ago, when the government wanted to privatize a local oil refining company. Despite Russian corporations offering much, much better prices and contract details, it was sold to an obscure American company Williams International that makes gas engines. Everything was planned and ready back in the spring of '99, but the oil refining company was sold in the autumn, when stock prices fell and the refinery was brought even cheaper. According to the contract, Williams International takes all of the profit they make and any losses are compensated by our government. As expected, Williams quickly ran the refinery into the ground and when stock prices fell sharply, they bought the rest of the stocks from our government, and since they bought them below market price, sold them for a profit. That made Williams International about 300mln. $ in profit at the expense of our taxpayers. That may not be a lot to you Americans, but for a small and poor Eastern European country, it is a lot. Our former prime minister, who refused to sell the refinery to Williams and resigned from his post in protest won the next presidential election was impeached and is restricted from holding public office in our country ever again. Out of about two dozen ridiculous charges throw at him, the only one they actually proved, is that the allegedly "endangered national security" when he told one of his campaign supporters on the phone, that his phone might be tapped and it actually was tapped. Not to mention, he was impeached by the supreme court and, according to our laws, the president may only be impeached by the parliament, which they tried, but failed to get the required number of votes. I guess he made quite a few powerful enemies when he tried to stop that Williams International con job, but nah, according to Movie Bow, it just a coincidence.
TLDR? Read the damn thing if you think Movie Bob totally has a legit point and is in no way throwing out unbacked arguments.

For those in america how don't know about the truly f@@kin' insane ramblings of david Icke i suggest you read some and give yourself a good laugh. after quitting football as goalkeeper for coventry city, he became a journo, then a green party activist before announcing he was the son of god and the messiah. so far, so cult.
what followed that was basically him watching film and thinking they're real. Matrix = real, V = lizard overlords in the royal family etc.
its kind of got to the point where any conpiracy theorist would run in terror if david icke started aggreeing with them as he's that mental. his books do sell however, and some people do belive him which just shows the terrible and pathetic of humanity.

Well we can't really know the truth on these things now can we.
But you should never dismiss all conspiracy theories because they are that, and when you got Bush elected twice... you got to me smelling some f*ing rotten eggs.
But the most scary thing of all is the entire world follows that moron who couldn't tie his shoes if his life depended on it into a war without thinking twice, now the smart people are following the idiots?!
WTF his going on??
And then the county where someone like Bush is put in office for 8 years is pushing to have the only nuclear weapons on the planet, and making an anti-nuke shield that is in their control... and everyone follows without question.
Russia, China and North Korea may be portrayed as the axis of evil right now, but to me it seems we will need those idiots to keep other idiots from blowing us all up.

All I want is more global warming, it's cold where I live.
I was promised warm weather and all I get is colder winter.
Global warming sucks, you'd think with warming in the name it wouldn't be so damn cold all the time.
