evilwillhunting-633-904681 Oh boy.Watch a few of Jesse Ventura's debates, and you'll see that he has a hard time dealing with anyone challenging his facts, and he often will tell you you're wrong, pretty much because he said so.The apple doesn't fall far from the tree here. It IS entertaining and slickly made, but it's about as fictional and one-sided as it gets. You're basically listening to Jesse give his many paranoid (and poorly researched) crackpot theories an hour of unopposed banter.Jesse has also flip flopped on if this show is a "documentary" or "entertainment" (basically depending on how much shaky ground he's on when asked). The "experts" are highly suspect, and it gives "eyewitness" accounts a baffling 100% credibility rate.What makes the show hard to swallow is the OVERWHELMING narcissism of The Governor. He basically couches himself as the head of The Mission Impossible Team, as well as its loose cannon and muscle (Jesse, you're still a huge guy but the tough guy act doesn't work like it did before you were pushing 60). In fact, the whole "crack team" seem to be random goofs with no credentials whatsoever.And THAT is probably the most fictional part of all.

carlosgaido2002 There are so many issues with this show that it's hard to know where to even start.Jesse Ventura summarizes the "facts" that he found from his "reliable" sources to the camera as if he were taunting a fellow wrestler (or "fighter" as he calls himself). Can people really take that seriously?Ventura takes everything at face value, but only from the conspiracy side. "But that random guy says he saw this, so it must be true. He doesn't have any proof beyond his word, but hey, a garbage collector's word HAS to be more reliable than that of our sinister's government!" He actually uses the word "sinister" to describe the government a few times.The show is not even fun to watch. When I read the explanation of the show and saw that he "took both sides and made a decision on whether the conspiracies are true" made me think that this was a somewhat intellectually based show, but this is only sparks and glitter. In the second episode, for example, he starts the show admitting that he already believes in the conspiracy, so for the rest of the show he simply tries to prove what he already "knows to be true." There is no substance at all in this show, and Ventura and his minion's acting is awful and over the top. Yes buddy, they're acting, like when Ventura was a wrestler (sorry, "fighter"), he was acting too. In the first episode, for example, when he is trying to enter a military research base, he says that he can't believe that a former governor, former navy seal can't be admitted, therefore there has to be something shady going on, so he starts yelling at the manager of the base that when he doesn't get what he wants, he "gets angry." With this, he does two things: 1. By yelling at the manager, he looks tough making sure he WON'T be admitted into the base, making sure he can't disprove his nutty theory, and 2. he makes his ignorant viewer base believe that he is correct, but he is not. He is not a governor navy seal, he is a FORMER all that, making him a simple civilian. Why would a civilian have access to a strongly guarded military base? And by the way, why is so strongly guarded? Because the stuff they have there is incredibly dangerous, the military even admits that, so why let anyone walk in? The janitors at my school won't let me get into the machine room, so maybe there's something shady going on there, maybe some mind control technology or something.So, skip this one if you still have a functioning brain, because it will turn it into mush after a few episodes. Luckily I stopped only after one and a half, when some gray matter started to leak through my ears.

jandeenphoto Too many facts are in place with years of investigations that should not be ignored. If you think you are still living in America, perhaps staying asleep would be a proper activity. I admire Mr. Ventura for his courage in attempting to open the closed doors of this dark period of American History. I believe that there is more information available with more research that would make the cases more intelligent and credible, but naming sources unfortunately makes a network liable. The very simple fact is that information would be open to media scrutiny if there were not criminal and dangerous activities being addressed. It is difficult to swallow sensationalism, but I for one no longer find it easy to sleep at night or accept that half of my life savings disappeared into the coffers of unspecified institutions when in a Casino I could at least have enjoyed a drink on the house.

chucknorrisfacts I'm a little concerned that a channel that calls itself TruTV seems to play nothing but fake reality television, and that's what I'd classify "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura" as.I think a lot of the show is staged, from the "war room" Ventura and his crew meet in, to the bunker he films his promos in, etc. It's all intended to create a certain secret "feel" for the show.The most ridiculous part of every episode is the supposed "confrontations" that take place. There's no way in hell Ventura is really confronting the people responsible for the conspiracies they're covering on the show. One tip off is how the cameras always seem to be in the right place, even if it's in a room Ventura supposedly hasn't been in before so they can catch him entering in dramatic fashion. Has nobody noticed this before? One thing in particular that bugs me is how Ventura claims to be a former Navy SEAL, and/or allows people to think he is, despite the fact that in reality he was part of an underwater diving team that would later merge with the Navy SEALS some eight years after Ventura had already left the military…how in the hell does that make him a Navy SEAL? The show is good for a laugh, and maybe even the tiniest sliver of factual information, but other than that it's pretty much a joke as far as I'm concerned. If you're really seeking knowledge, this isn't the place to gain it. I wouldn't recommend the show to anyone looking for any sort of serious program.
