Thrive (2011)

Thrive (2011) No matter where you come down on the Illuminati Conspiracy, this is empowering, must-see filmmaking, unlike anything you'll have seen before - a combination call-to-arms and Disney ride. Producer/director/star Gamble (himself a scion of a Proctor & Gamble family) and his co-host wife, attempt to connect the dots in a plausible, powerful way -- the suppression of Tesla's free-energy discoveries; the harassment, ruin, and even murder of inventors working in this area in ways that threaten Big Oil; the patient but inexorable reorganisation of the world's nation-states into fewer and fewer continental "unions" (for easier conquest and control, the film concludes); the clockwork prosperity/depression cycles that permit bankers to scoop up the world's assets at fire sale values time and again; the puppet-string manipulation of both American political parties so that those in real control can never lose an election; all of it is covered here in this longish but riveting film. Its release just comes as the NYPD attempts to shut down the Occupy Wall Street protests, in the wee hours and under a press blackout - perfect and ironic timing! In the film's view, humanity is at a critical crossroads, and the choices are enslavement or waking up. Is it all true? If it is, this is probably about the best case that can be made for it, as well as a clarion cry to resist. Foster Gamble and his wife have done a wonderful job of connecting the dots as to why the human race doesn't thrive. Bringing to the screen the different aspects of our very existence that rely on the "benevolence" of our self appointed masters that control almost every aspect of the environmental influences that create each of us as individuals. When you realize that who you are is the product of manipulation by a self appointed elite, you begin searching for ways out of the Matrix. I found myself searching 25 years ago when I took the red pill. I realized that all that I had been "taught" in school was a fabrication, (euphemism for lie) and that the concept of country, state and governments were all similar to the Wizard of Oz, fictions created by small men with big heads behind screens. Foster puts the puzzle together in such a way that even the individual with average intelligence can understand why we are in the "mess" we are in as a species. Why we don't thrive. Why we don't prosper. And the answer isn't religion. It isn't war. It isn't voting. It isn't having a bigger house or a faster car. It isn't about the "things" we are told we need to buy to impress people we don't even like. It is understanding a core principle. The principle of non violation. That core principle is the very essence that peace is based on. When you are not VIOLATED you don't feel that you have to protect yourself. You don't feel enslaved. You don't feel like you are doing something wrong by trying to keep what is rightfully yours. When you get to keep the fruits of YOUR labor and not have it stolen from you by deceit and deception as well as gun point in the form of "taxes" or inflation, you feel good about yourself which in turn translates to feeling good about others. (The golden rule being love thy neighbour as thyself, having love for yourself is the missing ingredient.) I enjoyed this movie so much that I watched it over a period of three days FOUR times. Once with my youngest son and three times by myself to see what I might have missed the first time. And just because you happen to not "believe" in part of it, don't throw out the rest. The section on extra terrestrial life may be hard to swallow for some, but it doesn't mean that it isn't true. So just put the parts you don't "agree" with on the shelf somewhere and as you grow in your understanding of a world view, that let's you understand that ALL mankind can thrive within, you will find yourself going back to that shelf to add some more understanding to the whole that is being created within you. *** General Parameters *** - Name: Thrive (2011).m4v - Container: M4V - QuickTime - Size: 1.299 GB - Duration: 2h 12mn - Bitrate: 1 310 Kbps *** Video Track Parameters *** - Format: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Bitrate: Max.: --- / Average: 1 141 Kbps / Min.: --- - Frame rate (fps): Max.: 123.796 / Average: 23.976 / Min.: 16.667 - Encoding profile: Main@L4.0 - Image size: 720*576 - Pixel Aspect Ratio: Undefined - Display Aspect Ratio: 16:9 - Interlacing: Progressive *** First Audio Track Parameters *** - Format: AAC - MPEG-4 audio - Bitrate: 165 Kbps - Resolution: Undefined - Rate: 48.0 KHz - Channel(s): 2 (stereo) - Position: Front: L R tags: energy, ETs, aliens, sacred geometry, vector equilibrium, flower of life, crop circles, humanity, future
