I watched this documentary. Be careful of Jones' research. I would encourage you to check his sources for yourself and to read them carefully. Often he will misinterpret something or else deliver a hyperbolic interpretation of the problem. Take, for instance, his discussion of "Project Megiddo," an FBI program to prepare for millenial cults during the year 2000 shift. Jones uses this document often to show how the authorities castigate ordinary people, homeschoolers, people with road atlases, etc., as terrorists. In one video, he highlights the words "homeschoolers" on the document and says in a voice over "look, they even say that homeschoolers are terrorists." Well, I found a copy of the document and read it for myself. It said nothing of the sort. The document, as I said, simply discussed the very real problem of fringe, mellenial cults who believed that the year 2000 was going to be the "end." It discussed some of the characteristics that fringe mellenial cultists showed (homeschooling was only a single, general example) and seemed most concerned with preventing mass suicides and other forms of violence. The document was prepared in the background of the "Heaven's Gate" suicides. His discussion of the FBI document has very little touch with reality. I suspect that his analysis of the "UN Global Biodiversity Assessment" does the same thing but haven't checked that yet. Jones accuses the UN of openly supporting the establishment of a new religion, a Gaia type cult, along with human sacrifice as a means of culling the population. This seems ridiculous almost to the point of stupidity. Even if the UN did indeed support human sacrifice, they would never openly declare it. I plan to read it for myself when I have the time and energy.
Moreover, much of his work is colored by his fundamentalist christian beliefs. Endgame is basically nothing but an interpretation of the current geopolitical climate in the context of fanatical beliefs about the coming apocalypse. Jones always draws distinctions between his self-styled "patriot movement" and the "global elite" by saying that the latter are evil satan worshippers who hate love, beauty, and all goodness in general, whereas he and his audience are obidient little Jesusites upon whom God bestows all of his grace. One does not need to look too hard to see how fundamentalist christian groups throughout history have always defined themselves against their political enemies in terms of "good vs. evil," "God vs. Satan," "Christ vs. AntiChrist," and so forth. When you take away all of his rhetorical veneer, Jones is hardly any different from any of these groups. For more insight into this characteristic of christianity-laced political rhetoric, read Elaine Pagels' excellent book "The Origin of Satan."
Another aspect of his work that I find disturbing is his attitude towards UFO secrecy. I've listened to his radio show a number of times. He seems really to enjoy denigrating the UFO subject anytime the opportunity arises. He mocks Jeff Rense, for instance, for discussing UFOs on his radio show. Clearly he takes pride in his Shermer-esque attitude towards UFOs. This attitude leads him to an incomplete look at the global situation in general. The politics of UFO secrecy clearly have a significant role in world events, but Jones completely ignores and disparages this aspect of the problem. He clearly hasn't done much research, if any, into the UFO problem. I doubt if he's ever read any of the serious UFO literature.
Recently, I read a book, "Order Out of Chaos," written by one of his staff writers, Paul Joseph Watson. In one of the later chapters, Watson argues that the elite are planning to stage an alien invasion in order to bring about a one world government. His sole source for this claim? Dr. Steven Greer. Watson argues that Dr. Greer is a "credible" UFO researcher, and Watson bases some of the final pages of his book solely on the testimony of one of the least credible UFO voices. This further puts Jones' work into question, since much of it comes out of Watson's discernment-lacking research.
Still, I find his work on 9/11 useful and compelling. This led me a while ago to email him a link to Dolan's "UFOs and the Death of the American Republic" at keyholepublishing.com. But the next day on his radio show, Jones spent more than 5 minutes calling UFO researchers "co-intel disinfo pros" and a variety of other thoughtless, blanket labels.
I encourage all of you to read that Dolan essay. Here is a link.
