Have you seen this commercial?

Asked by RikhardRavindraTanskanen (76points) October 3rd, 2015

It was in 2007, when I was 11. The commercial consisted of black-and-white footage of a man in a room at a desk with papers on it, the footage coming from a security camera. The actor said excitedly, “This is so exciting! With this kind of power nothing can stop me! The world will fall at my feet!”

The actor, judging by his appearance and voice, was clearly supposed to be portraying George W. Bush, although he did not look much like the president, come to think of it.

Afterwards, with a fizz, it changed to a middle-aged man, looking as though he was in front of a video camera, perhaps with glasses and/or balding hair but I am not sure, saying, “Uncover the truth” slightly slowly with each syllable, as the screen then changed to a static screen saying in white letters, www.crypto.com.

Judging by the commercial, it seems to be a commercial promoting conspiracy theories, specifically the New World Order conspiracy theory, which I realised a few years later (I don’t know when), and when I did, I hated it to this day, due to the fact that that conspiracy originated in the far-right, according to Wikipedia a few years ago, although it is gone now.

A few years ago, I did a search for www.crypto.com, and I found it. I went on it, but I went off it because I was apprehensive of the stupid conspiracy theories that I feared I might find on the site.

Also, I did not find any articles of interest on the main page of the site – there were links to other parts of the site, but I was too young to realise that there was nothing wrong with using them, although I had used links to other parts of websites before. I have never been on since, although I did a search for it two years ago that failed to come up with anything.

By the way, sorry that I said I had posted all questions regarding things in the past that I wanted resolved. I had forgotten about this. This is the last thing, I think.

Can you tell me what this commercial was, please?
