“What I mean by that is he doesnu0026#39;t come across like a David Icke or Alex Jones type. Heu0026#39;s not putting out DVD after DVD telling your life is being controlled by hidden people and such. He comes across as very well spoken guy and one that you could sit down and have a beer with or sit at a table and just have long conversations with. I guess I mean he doesnu0026#39;t seem to be a nut.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would like to have had more info on a lot of his quotes but I guess that would likely take an 80 minute documentary into like 3 or 4 hours (which I wouldnu0026#39;t have minded). I might just buy some if his books to take a look to see how much more in depth he gets on most of the topics he covers in this documentary.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor me, watching this, it was like itu0026#39;s about time. What I mean by that is finally someone who doesnu0026#39;t come across as a street corner preacher or a bona fide nut. This guy is just talking about real issues that matter, or at least they should matter.”
