  1. I’m a big fan kof Alex Jones. And this show goes into some of the same topics that he talks about like about 911 being a government conspiracy.

    That was an interesting premiere episode about the HAARP project. I would like to see the physicist try and see if the electric pulses can deplete the ozone(ozone layer). It was in the North Pole where there was hole in the ozone layer.

    Sweet. I hope it raises some questions and wakes up some people to the actuality of the world around them. When you know how the criminals think you know when they are full of it… Thanks TruTv and Jesse glad it started off with a bang…

  4. Jesse Ventura is the real man.
    I will fully support Jesse Ventura if he ever decides to run for presidency in 2012.
    He is straightforward, down-to-earth, honest, sincere, compassionate and above all, has lots and lots of common sense.
    He is never afraid of asking questions.
    He cuts through all the BS that is so prevalent among today’s so-called politicians.
    We need Jesse Ventura more than ever today.
    Run, Jesse, run in 2012.

    Jesse Ventura/Ron Paul would definitely be the ideal team in 2012.
    Let’s make it happen.

    HAARP wouldn’t be the first attempt by the military at mind control. I knew a guy named John Iverson who worked for the Navy and claimed he had a mind control device he developed for them. His business was building high end audio devices for stereos so at hi-fi shows he would invite people to come to his place in arizona a check it out. Some who went verified it. The device worked something like on the show that Ventura tried. hmmm don’t know personally

  6. I am so excited about “conspiracy theory” and the success the show had last night. Jesse could vary well be the man who saved us from the grip of the beast. The man who woke up the masses & led America back to her promise our god given inalieanable right “freedom”.

    I respect and honor your courage & will fight alongside you and millions of other truth seekers & patriots about to wake up for our rights to be heard. Because in the words of William Walace:”They may take our lives but they will never take our freedom” And Socrates’: You cannot kill me I cannot die!

    Everything that was explanned last night is self evident and exsist weather you like it or not it is a weapon and they use it on us constantly. I am 23 years old yet I have consistent migrain’s,visions,stomachach’s,exc a healthy 23yr old ‘come on’.Now knowing that they have had this for 25 yrs putt’s my whole life into perspective no more questions like why have I been missdiagnosed 7 times? There is nothing wrong with me! I now know ever since I was born I was enslaved.

    Do this experiment take one finger on each hand and plug it in your ear’s be still,silent,and wait, your finger’s should start to jirate in a sort of morse code this is what HAARP is doing to us and this is why America feel’s the way we do. It is in fact a weapon of mind control.

    I hope in next years season he goes into the british monarchy’s bloodline being related to our presidents Obama,Bush,carter,ford,exc, & unvail’s the secret covenant of the Beast or the so called (elite’) The de rothchilds Illuminati and there plan for world domination threw a new word order & secret societies such as the Rockafellar’s CFR,The trillateral commision,The bilderburg group,The carlyle group,Bohiemian grove,The freemasons,opus dei,Knights Templar,Bones and Skulls exc. Remember knowledge is power and the more shows Jesse does the more people will wake up and unite against The beast. Thank you again jesse for your bravery it will never be forgot!
    P.S The Washington monument stands 555 feet into the sky and 111 feet into the ground I just thought you should know.

    I have a question: When the rays heat the atmosphere, are they contributing to global warming? Here I was, blaming jet fuel activity but perhaps I was wrong, and HAARP is the guilty party. They should dismantle the whole operation and re-assign the Navy and Air Force workers to less-harmful duties.

  8. Pat

    I have been concerned about HAARP for many years. I was surprised and pleased to see the segment on Conspiracy Theory. I hope the investigation is ongoing. JESSE IS THE MAN.

  9. Listen first of all that’s not jet fuel coming out of those plaes there chemicals. Second theres no such thing as global warming unless they turn on the weapon HAARP for specifically that reason to heat up the atmosphere to give us the perception of global warming.

  10. And Ya Jesse is the man.

  11. It’ll be interesting to see how well the ratings for this show continue to do in the remaining weeks. There are 6 more episodes left. So, I hope the ratings continue to grow. I know that in broadcast, ratings are usually highest for the premiere. But, in cable ratinngs sometimes increase from the premiere.

  12. Louis

    hello americans and I want to congratulate Jesse for be the only person who want to reveal the true about all this bizare proyect our goverment is been hiding from us……expose our kids to radiation, brain wash to vote for someone we don’t want and other bizare things we don’t know yet..so please Jesse keep going and god bless you and protect you and your family.

    brian you are a young man and I wish you all the best. I beleive we are either mentors or we are tormentors because people watch us everyday. Those that watch is not just big brother it is all so little brother and sister you know the the ones that look up to us! My words of wisdom are that what they see us do they will probably beleive that is ok, but the harm is most of us forget that first real intelligent question that we learned to ask WHY!!!! I am 57 and have done some very wonderful things in my life and I made some pretty dum mistakes in my life! The things that those looked up to me remember the quickest were the dum ones and it takes about 12 times longer to correct! Most parents have trouble with their childern because their love and the things their children see them do. I say this to you because you seem to be asking the most important question and you seem to have your eyes wide open as well as your mind and I would like to commend you and to support in continuing to do so. Oh and try to always do it with love in your heart and a conseince in your brain.
    Sincerely LARRY

  14. Dont be a Sucker

    I hope the numbers for the rest of the remaining 6 shows will be revealed

    That will determine whether the show was a sucess or not

  15. Jesse Ventura 2012

    I don’t give a damn about the ratings of the show for any particular episode. Means nothing to me. The show is a success if it wakes anybody up whatever the degree, and causes people to ask more questions of their government. And if more and more people start asking more and more questions, then maybe government will start answering some of them, instead of putting up a stone wall and ignoring the citizenry as they currently feel entitled to do.

  16. Jesse has always been a carnie, and he always finds plenty of rubes.

  17. Mikkie

    I missed last night’s episode & I was wanting to know where I could watch the whole show online. Thanks in advance for any help someone might be able to give me.

  18. Jesse Ventura 2012 & Quotations

    Thought these quotes were fitting in light of Ventura’s new show:

    It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.

    –Voltaire

    The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.

    –Woodrow Wilson

    The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.

    –Patrick Henry

    All professions are conspiracies against the laity.

    –George Bernard Shaw

    The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans.

    – Benjamin Disraeli

    The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out… without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.

    – H.L. Mencken
