    I made it to 2 minutes.

    For those too sane to watch it yourselves, it's just a bunch of videos taken out of context of world leaders saying the phrase "new world order" with some scary music from the movie Requiem for a Dream playing in the background.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

    Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is a tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses.[Note 1][1] People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. For example, in reading about gun control, people usually prefer sources that affirm their existing attitudes. They also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. Biased search, interpretation and memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though the different parties are exposed to the same evidence), belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false), the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series) and illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations).

    Confirmation biases contribute to overconfidence in personal beliefs and can maintain or strengthen beliefs in the face of contrary evidence. Poor decisions due to these biases have been found in military, political, and organizational contexts.

    posted by "Grape Swisha", it's got Ron Paul, it even says sheeple in the opening segment.

    yeah, not a coincidence.

    new world order, illuminati, BLAH BLAH BLAH

    this might as well have been made in november 1999 when Bush was elected, propagated by the likes of Alex Jones and his minions...

    Is it just a coincidence that you posted that Bush had already been elected in November 1999? Are you trying to say the election results were known a year in advance. Are you a member of the illuminati and just had a freudian slip at the keyboard. :)

    Watching YouTube videos doesn't count as doing research.

    I sometimes watch videos about NWO, Illuminati and whatever else for the LOLs. There's one on YouTube about how the Illuminati ruined Britney Spears' career because she was about to expose them.

    I think he meant reading infowars and watching Youtube is not research.

    where's the links/other videos referenced? Or are you just waiting it out until someone else posts something that can confirm your belief structure/narrative?

    Why should i post links or other videos, youre clearly not going to accept the fact that a New World Order is upon us. Just look around at the media industry, sports and politics, quit being so naive
