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.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
