TRANSCRIPT Puzzlin' Evidence

PREACHER
It thrills me.
It thrills me.
We can build a nation inside a nation right where we are.
The choice is yours.

I'm not a joiner.
I'm not a member of the John Birch Society or the Communist Party, but let's look at what's happened to the national morals since World War II.

We lost the Vietnam War. [Music]
The movies & the television are filled with characters I don't even want to know - not in this life.
The farmer is in trouble [Music]
The small businessman is in trouble. [Music]
Unemployment is skyrocketing. [Music]

Texas is still paying for John Kennedy's death, my friends.

LYING WOMAN
It was love that killed John F Kennedy.
He should have never messed with me.
Ooh no, I know nothing your honor.
They want me to speak on 60 Minutes.
Mike Wallace wants my body.
I don't tell a soul.
Well, they gave me so much money, what could I do?

PREACHER
Um, thank you.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
Now let's look at who's been running this country since World War II

[Music]
They have some involvement in all of these.
What is the link?
What do cars have to do with books, you might ask?
The Trilateral Commission with the Council on Foreign Relations.
Did you ever hear of them?
Well neither did I until I noticed the chain of coincidence.

They have members on the boards of all the largest corporations.
Not one detail has been left out.
Am I right?
Do you feel it?
Yes, do you know what Bobby Ray Inman was doing before he was running the micro electronics & the computer tech corporation?
Well guess - a CIA director - it's public knowledge.

Do you run out of Kleenex, paper towels & toilet paper at the same time?
You know it's true.

AUDIENCE MEMBER
It's all true.

PREACHER
You remember how Governor White campaigned to get the MCC here?
Do you know what their goal is?
Huh, well, Elvis did.

Artificial intelligence, huh, robots.
Oh, they'd like that wouldn't they, yes sir, sleep sleep...
One and one does not equal two, no sir, no sir.
Silicon Gulch, Silicon Prairie, Silicon Hills, Silicon Valley.
You better wake up.
