TruTV - Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura: Series 1 (2009)

He's undertaken some of the most dangerous missions in the world as a Navy SEAL. He's body-slammed giants in the wrestling ring as a WWE superstar. He's even conquered politics as the governor of Minnesota. Now, Jesse Ventura is about to face his greatest challenge yet: uncovering the most compelling, modern-day conspiracy theories.
Jesse Ventura and a team of expert investigators are on a mission to examine some of the most frightening and mysterious conspiracy allegations of our time, right on mainstream television! This is unprecedented. They examine available evidence as well as talking to experts and eyewitnesses to learn more about such topics as global warming, possible 9/11 cover-ups, secret government weapons and apocalyptic prophecies. "This is my personal journey," Ventura says, "to prove that there is more to these stories than you know about."

Part 1: HAARP
In the US, the technology is being perfected under the High-frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP) as part of the ("Star Wars") Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI). Recent scientific evidence suggests that HAARP is fully operational and has the ability of potentially triggering floods, droughts, hurricanes and earthquakes. Is it a communications research project or a doomsday weapon that can change the weather, shoot satellites out of orbit - and trigger mind control across the globe? Jesse Ventura and his team head north to a remote region of Alaska to confront the military installation called HAARP. He is denied entry. Then he is given hands-on experience with frequency-induced "voices in your head", possible with HAARP.

Part 2: 9/11 Conspiracy
Jesse Ventura steps into America's most controversial conspiracy by challenging the 9/11 Commission Report, investigates the rumors of a possible cover-up of the black box recordings from the airliners involved in the attacks and searching for evidence that the September 11th may have been an inside job. At the urging of victims' families, he finds witnesses who claim the towers were brought down by explosives, the missing black box flight recorders were actually recovered and ground control knew the hijackers were in the cockpits before the jets took off. This is Jesse's 2nd episode of "Conspiracy Theory" and he delves into the issue head on.

Part 3: Global Warming
Ventura looks at some of the purported evidence that man-made global warming is an elitist scam, and the money trail leads him to the doorstep of an elusive billionaire and a former UN adviser residing in Shanghai. Whether global warming is real or not, it's believed some people are using the issue to make billions of dollars, start a one-world government and control our lives, from the cars we drive to the foods we eat. Jesse Ventura starts with Al Gore and goes far beyond as he uncovers the evidence that leads to one man thought to be behind the global warming conspiracy.

Part 4: Big Brother
Big Brother is watching and it's not who you think. Is government surveillance on U.S. citizens being used as a guise to make us safer just to snatch away our civil rights? And what ingenious products are being used to record unsuspecting victims. 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 Ventura describes his experience with the CIA during his tenure as the Governor of Minnesota.

Part 5: Secret Societies - The Bilderbergs
What is the Bilderberg Group? Jesse exposes these elite power brokers who meet every year to, the story goes, decide the fate of everyone on the planet, and supposedly plan the strategies for world domination, including a "voluntary forced vaccine". The WHO has believed since the '70's that there are too many people on earth and the vaccine is one way to sterilize people. The location and attendees of these secretive events are often posted online. They're thought to be a group of the world's elite who meet once a year at a luxury hotel and decide how they will run the world. It's believed they plan to thin out the population through disease-and vaccines. Jesse Ventura infiltrates the Bilderberg Group.

Part 6: Manchurian Candidate - Sleeper Assassins
Authors and experts warn that CIA and forces within the government have revived a program that uses mind control techniques to turn ordinary citizens into programmed assassins and super soldiers through hypnosis, experimental drugs, torture and other methods. This real-life Manchurian Candidate seems outlandish-until Jesse Ventura searches for the evidence and goes face-to-face with a man who claims he's one of the killers, a real-life Manchurian Candidate.

Part 7: Apocalypse 2012
It's believed that the world is heading for disaster in 2012 and Ventura looks into rumors that the U.S. Government has a doomsday plan, preparing to save and protect the elite -while leaving the rest of us to fend for ourselves. Jesse Ventura investigates claims of top secret underground bunkers being built in places ranging from the Nevada desert to the White House, including the largest, now under construction beneath a major metropolitan airport, where mysterious artwork displayed throughout seems to depict a "road map" of plans for the Apocalypse.
