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.

      Fireworks

      By SophieA · Posted

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
