According to wikipedia: a conspiracy theory is a belief that an event is the result of a plot by a covert group or organizations that are carried out by either by governments, corporations or other secret powerful organizations. Tonight on full circle.we we bring you one of the most controversial and well known “conspiracy theorists” out there, Mr David Icke! Fresh into his highly anticipated “World Wake Up! Tour” coming to the bay area September 24th! We’ll also hear an excerpts from the dvd “Incontrovertible”, Incontrovertible portrays the frank and candid views of police officers, firefighters and soldiers as they express their grave concerns about the official explanation for the events of 9/11. Whether or not you believe that the government faked the apollo moon landing or you believe in agenda 21, the plan to depopulate the earth, secret plans for global dominance go back as far as there were powerful men to carry out covert plans. How does this affect us? Well, when one exposes a lie for what it is, that gives us the opportunity to uncover the truth, it’s an eternal duality, which, when understood, gives us strength to create a new vision or an alternate reality, one in which, hopefully, we are in charge
