The Principle
2014 · Film · documentary · 90 min
Directed by Katheryne Thomas
"The Principle" brings to light astonishing new scientific observations challenging the Copernican Principle; the foundational assumption underlying the modern scientific world view. The idea that the Earth occupies no special or favored position in the cosmos has launched the last two scientific revolutions - the Copernican Revolution and Relativity - and, as Lawrence Krauss has said, we could be on the verge of a third, with "Copernicus coming back to haunt us". Interviews with leading cosmologists are interspersed with the views of dissidents and mavericks, bringing into sharp focus the challenges and implications not only for cosmology, but for our cultural and religious view of reality.

Yes, he’s a magisterial fundamentalist. He views the idea of a non-Geocentric cosmos as destabilizing to the (to him) necessary hierarchies of nature, man and society ordained in the Bible according to traditionalist readings. But unlike a lot of fundamentalists, he’s good at “hiding his power level” enough to occasionally sneak into more serious conversations, and he’s patient enough to stick to a more incrementalist approach to changing people’s minds (instead of constantly yelling about people being damned if they don’t listen to him). He’s a bad and dangerous dude.
Dan Olson did a great job breaking down Sungenis’ film “The Principle” back in 2020, this Folding Ideas video is a great watch: https://youtu.be/icwDF8wRgF4
I'd suggest you look at how documentaries like "What the Bleep Do We Know" and "The Principle" are created out of editing together unrelated emotionally impactful set pieces and out of context statements from authorities and otherwise valid sources.
This video is using all the same editing techniques as you would to push geocentricism and make it look like Michio Kaku is onboard with it.
That's why they include crap like a The Winter Soldier from Marvel being interrogated and random clips from Mulan, while giving quotes that can't use an entire sentence of before being forced to use a jump cut.
