Subject: Fact?
What you are making out to be fact, are merely hypothesis at best. Giraffes have never been observed to have been evolved from shorter neck animals, for example. Your video is propaganda for indoctrination... nothing else. It takes more than empty words, drawings, charts, and computer graphics, to prove evolution.

Subject: segues were unfortunately the best part
an intriguing theme but the delivery was embaressing. maybe i've been listenin to too much hiphop but the words loosly tumbling out of the narator's mouth, sans-confidence, had me cringing and skipping forward.

i liked the segues, the stark sound paired with stark lettering. something serious was going on. i wish it was consistantly that riviting.

Subject: Good work but ....
I compliment you for the project overall! However, until you correct the factual errors, that I'm sure you are unaware of, I cannot wish it to remain out for public viewing. I'm sure you are not deliberately spreading misinformation, but that is what happens on the internet. Many people tend to take what you say, especially when it's well presented, as the truth, and nothing but the truth, so help them God!

Your skill at creating a documentary for the internet and then offering it for public and/ educational use is fantastic and completely humanitarian! Thank you so much for being willing to share Knowledge. This itself often goes unappreciated and I want to be sure to let you know that I'm grateful that you DO offer that!

You've so obviously put a great deal of thought and work into the project but for it to be of any educational use, you will have to correct these errors. I can help, let me know if you'd like to communicate.

Five stars for production though!!

TERRY

Subject: Additional Info on Homo Sapiens Americanus Documentary
I am the uploader and creator of this video documentary.

Homo Sapiens Americanus part 1 is the first part of a documentary I have created called Homo Sapiens Americanus: Chains of Iron, Chains of Silver. The documentary deals with the historical development of the American culture, and how that culture has been affected and evolved by the American elite--powerful people and institutions of America.

I will be editing and uploading more parts of this documentary in the near future.

In the near future, look for the following parts in the Homo Sapiens Americanus documentary :
1: Dominance and Submission in Animals and Humans (uploaded: 11 minutes)
2: White Slavery in Colonial America
3: Division of the Races by Colonial Elites
4: Black Slavery & the Founding Fathers
5: The American Constitution: For the Elite, by the Elite
6: Capital vs Labor: The Struggle
7: Elite War Machine Propaganda
8: Elite Economics Propaganda
9: Identity Politics: The Ultimate Elite Strategy
10: Ideological Cattle: American Culture as Evolved by Elite Forces


Each part of this documentary is interconnected narratively and thematically. I have cut the documentary into several parts in order to facilitate downloading. Therefore, there are concepts, themes, ideas that may be introduced in one part of the documentary, but will not be clarified or fleshed out until a subsequent part of the documentary.

Subject: Interesting Documentary
Randall Smith has used his talents to hypothesize that human beings behave in a naturally selective way. What Randall terms "the elites", use force and power to dominate and subjugate other humans. While Randall posits some very interesting questions about the nature of man, and makes visual analogies to the parallels in the animal kingdom, the documentary fails a bit when attempting to place the complex issues of power and conflict into such a narrow space of "elites vs. the rest of us".

Kudos to the author of this work, and thank you for open sourcing it.
