Assassin's Creed Forum

This is going to reveal the end of the first Assassin's Creed. Spoiler alert.
But still, please watch this video and tell me what you think. I've been thinking about it and freaking out for the past couple hours. Haha.
Please, just give me your thoughts on it. Watch the whole thing. Its worth it completely.

Maybe search youtube for "ILLUMINATI BOHEMIAN GROVE" after you see that.
Seems to be the truth. All of this is giving me a headache. Please comment and tell me what you think.

Watch the entire video. The second half isn't even about Assassin's creed.
I literally have a headache now.

These are... interesting.

The first video says that "Assassins Creed is a warning sign to all who are brave enough to stand up for what is right," I call bullshit. You mean to tell me that a group of developers, who are working for Ubisoft, a large publicly held French company (the third largest video game publisher in Europe and seventh largest in the United States) somehow are trying to warm us about "the man," and aren't just trying to make a video game.

That... Didn't have much at all to do with Assassin's Creed.

Oh sure, I'm sure the plot will very likely deal at least in some small way with stuff like 2012 and perhaps the Illuminati... But the rest of that video is a plug for the same kind of nonsense spouted in Zeitgeist (which the video even references).

For a pretty easy rebuttal to the idea that the Ubisoft team behind the game follows this zeitgeist way of thinking, remember that even at the start of the Assassin's Creed game, there is a message that lets you know that people from many different religions worked on the game. Christians, Muslims, etc. This was, of course, they're way of avoiding some controversy considering the game's subject matter.

However, the fact remains: religious people worked on this game. They would not, therefore, be so quick to spread a "secret message" that involves - in part - the idea that all world religions are a smokescreen and tools to gain total control.

Besides that, the part of the Zeitgeist movie(s) that deals with religion has been by far the easiest to debunk ever since the film was released. No one who does even a little research buys into the ideas spouted there. One of the biggest mistakes the film makes is trying to make comparisons (without providing sources) of Jesus to other mythological figures... Except the details they tried to say were "exactly the same" were just flat out wrong. I caught that pretty quickly and I've only studied a moderate amount of mythology.

What I DO know of mythology, though, is part of what made these hidden messages and symbols at the end of Assassin's Creed so cool for me. Familiar with the Mayan religion and prophecies, I was quick to pick up the reference to 2012 and that sort of thing. The end of Assassin's Creed made me really excited to play the next games, to see where all of this crazy plot would take us. Indeed, I'm more interested in that - all the "modern day" stuff with Desmond and whatnot - than I am about the new historical setting.

But this video you've linked to? I'm very disappointed in it.

@Sargus: I watched this a couple hours ago. You and everybody else should check it out.

Meh. Apart from the mumbo jumbo, the first video lost me straight away with 'Clubbed To Death'. I'm so sick of that tune being used in montage videos that are supposed to have some gravitas (and YouTube has certainly helped this proliferation). Anyways, I preferred that drumbeat in DJ Shadow's 'What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 3)'.

@ZombiePie: Care to reply to my last post?

@InhumanAchievement: Stuff like the borders disappearing, the "Amero"... That's all been proven to be hogwash.

And yes, I've seen tons and tons of stuff about the VeriChip (and technology like it). I study religion (particularly Christianity) a lot, and so a lot of people have tried to turn my attention toward it. The most interesting aspect of it is the fact that it could go in the hand or forehead (as Revelation references), but that's about it. The Bible is pretty explicit on the fact that the Mark of the Beast would be REQUIRED to buy, sell, or trade. That kind of movement isn't even being talked about yet, and it's extremely unlikely that such a thing would be drawn up, approved, and put into action by 2012 - I mean, look, we're halfway through 2009 already.

People have worried about Hitler, Clinton, Bush... Javiar Solana has also been a big target as "anti-Christ material". In fact, just about anyone in power has been accused of such a thing at one point or another, and there have always been fears and conspiracies. Stuff like the VeriChip is interesting, no doubt, but after a lot of study and research I have found absolutely no reason to panic.

@Mordukai: Hmmmm... Interresting. It could have something to do with heaven, or possibly the "New World Order" said to come in 2012.

@Sargus: Well I guess its no reason to panic now, but if the V-Chip implant does come true I may panic.
Everyone should refuse to be implanted. If "the man" comes up with a good reason why the chip is a much better solution to all our problems and it should be implanted into everyone then just remember all of this this that will supposedly happen.

@ZombiePie: Well I didn't intend for this to be completely about the game, but okay. Bye.
I hope your not like that family in Florida...

@Sargus: It just seems like it could all so easily happen.
And the video from my 6th post in this thread worried me...

@Sargus: You're religious aren't you? The myth theory is far from being "disproven" hell I'm nearly 100% sure it's true. For one we all know religion is pure bullshit. If you HONESTLY believe that anything in the bible actually happened, well I'm surprised your brain hasn't committed hari kari yet. It's pretty funny that most of the religious nutbags ended up saying that, "Oh this is crap because those are just over arching themes amongst the mythological figures, but they aren't EXACTLY the same." No fuck they aren't the same, I wouldn't expect the douchefucks that made up the different religions to be so dumb as to just photocopy each other's religions. The main point is the over arching themes are there amongst all of them with some alarming similiarities and eventually once you go back far enough you find the first ones that were archetyped like that were just forms of sun worship. As for the rest of the game, sure it's awesome that it's a crazy conspiracy game but I don't believe in all the Illuminati crap.

Want to know what the world is ACTUALLY like? Watch The Corporation. Down to earth and very sobering.

I can't tell if Inhuman is a troll or just dumb. Either way, the folks encouraging his ranting are either feeding a troll or a mind that is not nearly as open as it claims. It would be best to let this thread settle low on the forum seabed.
