Jesse Ventura back again with more conspiracies

He chooses conspiracies based on both their likelihood of truth and their impact. "Then it gets down to me fighting with the network," he said. "We'll battle back and forth. We're not like the Democrats and Republicans. We'll come to a resolution and move forward. If I don't get something I want, then maybe if we're picked up for another season, we''ll do it."

One he'd like to look into that didn't make it: chemical trails made by planes in the sky. Is the government releasing deadly chemicals?

"Our government is not a very honest entity," the former Minnesota governor said. "Why is it when we lie to the government, we go to jail? Yet when they lie to us, we seem to go to war."

In season two, he said government officials treated him with even more suspicion. "I'm like the red-headed stepchild at the reading of the will," he said. For instance, he wanted to film himself standing in front of J.F.K.'s Eternal Flame at the Arlington National Cemetery but was turned down.

Last season, when first episodes drew around 1.5 million viewers, he investigated the secretive Bilderberg Group, a possible 9/11 inside job, a man claiming to be a real life Manchurian Candidate and whether global warming is some elitist scam.

This year, over eight weeks, he will look into Area 51, a possible plan to kidnap our water supply and his favorite topic: the J.F.K. assassination. "That's been a passion of mine for 25 years," he said.

He said he has audio evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone to kill the president. "If there's an entity who can murder our president and get away with it, what can't they do?" he said.

Ventura said Area 51 is a big red herring for the government to lead us to believe there are aliens "to take our minds off what they're really doing." (What are they doing? Maybe he'll tell us on a future episode.)

And given his study of politics, he now believes political parties should be abolished and turned into political action committees so when you vote for someone, there is no party attached. This, he said, will force people to learn about individuals not beholden to a party theology.

Ventura lives part of his year in Mexico. Would he ever renounce his citizenship given how disgusted he is with our government? No.

But he added this strange addendum: "I'm not an American. I'm a United Statesian. It's arrogant to call ourselves Americans when there's North America, South America and Central America. Don't they have the right to call themselves Americans, too?"
