I cannot recommend this enough. Theres a Movie Player at the bottom of the page which allows you to stream the film for free. I'm not really a conspiracy nut but there are a lot of very interesting observations made within this film and definitely some substantial food for thought.

Conspiracy theorists have a desperate problem with causality. Just because politicians regularly twist political capital from incidents to their own ends, doesn't necessarily mean they staged them.


Even the infamous Gulf of Tonkin incident wasn't actually staged; nothing happened granted, some nervous navy gunners shot at some fog, and that was leveraged and lied about in order to persuade congress to sign a blank cheque to fund the war, but it wasn't staged.


Pearl Harbour and the Lusitania likewise, though you'd be hard pressed NOT to have gone to war after Pearl Harbour frankly.


Anyway, internet idiocy. A slick presentation and some good juxtaposed images does not a convincing argument make.

I agree with the causality issues and I've always thought it the supreme human achievement that a shadowy coven of miscreants could so thoroughly control humankind and its destiny given the near infinite variables it would have to master to achieve this end. However the opening half hour and its comparisons betweeen the Egyptian legend of Horus and that of Christ were remarkable(although I accept that this is not a particularly recent revelation(scuse the pun)). I found it fascinating and refreshingly free of the hyperbole(stand up Michael Moore) that usually surrounds this kind of documentary. I still its well worth a watch....oh, and its free.

Reminded me of the Ipcress Files.


That bloke for the first 5 minutes is interminable. I was so exasperated I wanted to cook up an elaborate plot to go to war with him.


Bad news eh Tillie - it suggest he's another one of the 'believers' who doesn't realise they're swapping one religion for another ;-)

Keeflet is an excellent shout. Keef will no doubt hate it for the same reason I hate my wife calling me cute when I'm confused.


I wouldn't watch it Tillie because it's so dull you'll start experimenting on your cornea with a fork. It felt like someone saying 'mung' to me a thousand times.


Poisoning young lady's minds about boys requires no such motivation. This craven pursuit is the sport of kings.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
