I've long ago learned that bringing people to see anything outside the framework of their little 'apparent-world' is nigh on impossible, when dealing with 'normal' people. I have, over the years, bombarded my family on various topics to no avail. The best source of definitive information covering the broad spectrum I've discovered was Michael Ruppert's Crossing the Rubicon. While it truly does lay out the whole situation - well, most of the critical points of it, anyway - the problem with getting this information out of the book, and into the heads of the sheeple is twofold: most of them don't read, and even the ones who do are not interested in reading a 600+ page book of this nature. They can't conceive that it could contain sufficient information to cause them to completely revise their view of the world; they're programmed to have faith in the precarious illusion they see around them, not in those who report information which undermines this illusion.
So what I'm seeking is this: one or more documentary-type videos of reasonable length that cover the broad spectrum of the oil crisis and its implications, the hidden agenda of the elite, etc., complete with names and specific occurrences, so that it doesn't just seem like some crackpot NWO conspiracy theorism to the programmed naïve. I want material that illustrates that there is a collapse coming in the near future, and which does it effectively, and professionally - and of course, though I think this shouldn't need to be said, but most importantly convincingly. I want to penetrate the thick skulls of my family, and I'm hoping to convert a specific friend who would sit through a documentary, but who isn't a reader, and won't take my word for it, but potentially, I'd like to have a weapon for 'conversion' of people as time goes on. Your help will be appreciated.

This has all the facts without any of the crazy. Conspiracy theory, that is. Its a shortened version of the original Crash Course
I have a Tactical Harness and I have a Tool Belt. The Tool Belt is more Useful.
Thanks. Just had this recommended yesterday, and already downloaded it.
Hello Hella Fax
Some good channels to check out on youtube: James Corbett, Peter Schiff, Stefan Molyneux, Gregory Mannarino, StormCloudsGathering, and Tom Woods. I've been listening to a bit of Jeff Berwick lately as well. If you're trying to "wake people up", I suggest steering them away from Alex Jones and the like....
Here are a couple vids I feel are hard hitting and provide plenty of vital information. Some will disagree with some content in these, but overall I feel they are a good presentation of some of the issues we face as a society.
Stefan Molyneux - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYkl3XlEneA&index=1&list=PLMNj_r5bccUzol670CnRnAp-a6rpd3Dym
Chris Martenson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYyugz5wcrI&list=UUD2-QVBQi48RRQTD4Jhxu8w
Chris Duane - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekkXHnSrlwY&list=PLD31E34390C5017E8 This is the first vid of a series. Worth a look in my opinion
Been there, read them all that are mentioned.... good stuff to read!
Just wanted to compliment your handle instead... Hella Fax ... catchy and cool ! I like it.
Thanks, Knuckle. Kind of an embarrassing story about where the name came from - I use it elsewhere, also - but I thought it was pretty original. 🙂
Well I happen to adhere to the old proverb: "You cannot wake up someone who is only pretending to be asleep” in that most people choose to be unaware and focus elsewhere hoping someone else will fix the problems in the world .
I think Richard Heinberg is a very positive wake up call on peak oil .
Y'all think the Rockefellers are divesting 50 billion dollars of fossil fuel investments for the good of the planet to avert climate change ? Pfft ! Perhaps they see an end to the profiteering.
