About "Barnum World"
We are living in Clown World. Clown World isn't just patently absurd, it's extremely dangerous. As the parasite ruling class destroys everything, we careen towards financial and societal collapse and/or a technocratic gulag.
Revolution is not an option as the parasites would just quickly infiltrate it, and we'd end up in the same place again. We don't need a revolution, we need Evolution - An Evolution of consciousness. The ONLY chance we have is to wake people up, and get more people on our side. We have to have more people.
"Many people are gullible, and we can expect this to continue." - PT Barnum
Barnum World runs on polysemic Barnum Statements. Barnum Statements are words and expressions that sound meaningful, but they mean something different to everyone who hears them - so they don't really mean anything. They are nothing but empty slogans, and very effective word trickery. We've all heard them before - "We're going to bring the country back together" , "I will fight to save the country", "We need to save the soul of this nation" - and a million more. Not only are they non-falsifiable, but they also offer the person saying them (politicians, news anchors, etc.) the ability to avoid all accountability.
Barnum Statements are the oil that lubricates the control system machine that enslaves us. Once you see them, you can't unsee them. When an individual is armed with the wisdom to identify Barnum Statements, the ability of our overseers to control the individual is exponentially diminished. At this point, this our ONLY hope. We have to arm as many people with the truth as we can before we can ever expect anything to change.
"Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the world."
-Archimedes, 230 BC
We believe that our film, "Barnum World", could act as an Archimedes Lever, and be an incredibly powerful and effective tool to wake millions of people with the truth.

About The Film and Our Story
First and foremost, "Barnum World", will be exceedingly entertaining and engaging. The film will be fast-paced, alarming, hilarious and profoundly informative.
Legalman will be the narrator, and the film will move in and out from his narration to clips of actual Barnum Statements and Barnum behavior in Clown World. We also have several ideas for skits and animations we're going to create that are going to be hilarious.
Our director and editor, Andrew Treglia, is a supporter of Legalman's Patreon, and an avid fan of his great podcast, "The Quash". When Andrew was casting for his recently released film, "Jones Plantation", he hit a wall due to the insane covid restrictions that were crushing the film industry. Driving home one evening while listening to Legalman's podcast, he got the crazy idea to cast him as "Mr. Jones" in the film - and the rest is history! They immediately connected as creatives, and collaborated daily on-set doing re-writes and editing the script.
In addition, our other producer, Doug Mize, was the Assistant Director on "Jones Plantation". Andrew and Doug are very close friends and collaborators. Doug has 30 years of production experience, and is a mainstay on most of Andrew's projects.
"Barnum World" will be an inspiring, high quality and professionally finished film. We have an experienced, talented close-knit team, and we absolutely refuse to create anything less than a movie we can all be proud of. A movie that you’ll be delighted to see and share.
