Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura: Big Brother

December 23 2009 -
Big Brother is watching and it's not who you think. Jesse Ventura's investigation of government surveillance on its citizens tears the lid off a nationwide program that is thought to turn local businessmen and office workers into spies, snooping on their neighbors and ratting on their friends in exchange for information and special privileges from the FBI- including, some charge, a "license to kill."

Jesse looks at a frightening world of government surveillance on U.S. citizens. He finds that under the guise of making us safer, officials in Washington DC may be trying to snatch away our civil rights. In his research, the Governor gets a peek at futuristic and ingenious products that can record an unsuspecting victim's private data (is that rock in your driveway really a rock?).

As he looks into government's role in keeping tabs of its people, Jesse describes a bizarre and mysterious meeting he had with the CIA soon after being elected Governor of Minnesota.

Ventura also looks at the little-know InfraGard program, where members of the community-your neighbor or co-worker, perhaps-gather information for the FBI. What do they get in return for this intelligence? Some claim it's access to secret government data-or maybe even a license to kill.
