What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this highly dramatized "reality" series -- which stars former Minnesota governor/pro wrestler/Navy SEAL Jesse Ventura -- explores alleged conspiracies surrounding topics like secret military weapons and the 9/11 attacks. The show reflects Ventura's personal ideas about the need for citizens to keep a close eye on their governments (which, according to him, can never be trusted). There's occasional strong language (though it's generally bleeped), and some of the supposed cover-ups deal with violent events -- including military attacks, terrorism, natural disasters, and environmental destruction.
Positive role models:
Ventura is a former Navy SEAL, professional wrestler, and governor of Minnesota. He uses his past to give him credibility.
Violence:
Ventura often makes references to getting angry and alludes to his potential for getting violent when he isn’t allowed access to secret locations. Also references to violent events, including the Iraq War. Some of the alleged conspiracies that Ventura investigates are supposedly connected to and/or have the potential to cause catastrophic harm to people and the environment. Brief images of some of these events are shown.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Occasional bleeped curse words like “bulls--t”.
Consumerism:
Ventura is occasionally shown driving a Ford.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
There's always the potential for discussions about drugs being used as part of a larger conspiracy.

Iffy for ages 14-18
This is a great show, but it may disturb and worry younger children, and the topics are deep and complex. These shows also contain violent mature material, such as discussions of 9/11.

If No CIA conspiracy to assassinate a popular president (Kennedy) existed, then why not declassify the CIA files of a dead man who apparently had no family?
I base my responses to the above questions on the fact that, if one looks at our recent past history where government and foreign and military policy are concerned, and notice how it seems that when a president is backed into a political corner by his preceding decisions, some form of terrorist threat or attempted action occurs.
We now have a guy, from Nigeria, who planted a bomb of some sort on an airliner, and was caught. This, after all the improvements in airport security and loss of freedoms.
I know from my own independent study of the Nov. 22, 1963 assassination of President Kennedy that when one goes to YouTube Rare Version of Nix Film (of the JFK assassination) and links it into an email and sends it to various news outlets, that when I try viewing the film clip now, it says, "an error has occurred. Please try again later." Been that way now for several weeks.
(PS. The guy holding the rifle not far behind where Abe Zapruder stood, looks an awful lot like a CIA man from Florida in the early '60's. I saw a very small photo of him under "early '60s photo of George Joannides. You cannot enlarge the picture that I know of. Such are the ways of the "intelligence commmunity.
Joannides died in 1990. His CIA files need to be declassified by Obama and released, unredacted, to the National Archives.
