Deconstructing Marianna in Conspiracyland – Part 3

Iain Davis

Rejected artwork for the BBC podcast.

In this continuing investigation of the BBC’s “Marianna in Conspiracyland” podcast series, we now turn our attention to Episode 2, titled “Down the Rabbit Hole.”

I hope you have read the introduction to this series and both Part 1 and Part 2, as some key points outlined in those articles are important for our ongoing exploration of “Marianna in Conspiracyland.”

The start of every BBC Conspiracyland episode comes with the following introduction from Marianna:

I’m Marianna Spring, the BBC disinformation and social media correspondent, and in this podcast series I’m venturing into “Conspiracyland.” A reality that gets curiouser and curiouser and has infected towns, like Totnes, across the UK. I’m investigating the conspiracy theory media here in Britain and the radicalisation that appears to come with it. Its followers hold a range of different beliefs, which many would never act on. But there are others whose views seem to be becoming more radical.

Assuming Marianna has written most of the podcast series herself, she appears to be a Lewis Carrol fan. The poorly constructed phrase “curiouser and curiouser” originates from Carrol’s 1865 children’s novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” It means increasingly strange.

Marianna is using deceptive language. There is nothing strange about people holding ant-Establishment opinions (AEO) or questioning power in a so-called democracy. On the contrary, it is practically the foundation of the UK’s current political system which, though technically a constitutional monarchy, is called a “representative democracy.”

Just like Carrol’s “Wonderland,” Marianna Spring’s “Conspiracyland” is not a “reality.” There is nothing for Marianna to venture into.

There is no plausible definition of a “conspiracy theorist.” It is simply a propaganda label applied to people who question the Establishment’s “epistemic authorities.” The Establishment sticks the label on those who question its power in order to marginalise and ultimately censor their opinions. The label itself is constructed from propaganda and junk science.

Consequently, there is no such thing as a “conspiracy theory movement.” No demographic grouping of people with “strange” views can be identified anywhere. Instead, all the research shows that anyone, from any demographic, social or political group, can hold AEOs. This appears to be the majority view in all “representative democracies.”

Political science explains why AEO is so common. We live in biased pluralist societies corrupted by an economic-elite. Challenging the Establishment that represents and defends the interests of said “economic-elite” is both a necessity, if we hope to live as free human beings, and an indispensable component of discourse in an alleged democracy.

This means that there is no “conspiracy theory media” either. The Light newspaper in the UK—Marianna’s initial focus—merely promotes AEO and questions power. In other words, it serves the vital function of news media in a “democracy.”

The emergence of this type of so-called “alternative media”—something we’ll explore later in this series—has taken on greater significance as the mainstream media (MSM) has largely abandoned journalism’s social function of questioning power. The BBC, for example, is state media controlled by the government and is compelled by regulation only to report whatever the government and the “epistemic authorities” tell it to report.

The radicalisation process is complex and consists of “push, pull and personal factors.” While the consumption of propaganda plays a small part in this process, it is far from a determining factor. There is no evidence that the media we consume is capable of “radicalising” anyone.

Marianna adds the following statement to her episode introduction:

At the extreme end we have seen conspiracy theory driven riots at the US capital and a coup attempt foiled in Germany. But what was happening in the UK? I have plenty of time to look about and wonder what is going to happen next. For BBC Radio 4, this is Marianna in Conspiracyland.

We will explore these claims as we progress but, suffice to say, Marianna’s assertions here are highly dubious.

Marianna’s introduction consists of nothing but alleged truisms which, upon closer scrutiny, are all canards. There is no evidence to support anything she says. All the evidence thoroughly contradicts her opinions.

Therefore, while Marianna has time to construct a model of what she and the BBC think will happen next, that model is based upon nothing but baseless opinion and, it is reasonable to suppose, disinformation and propaganda. As we shall see, this “opinion” strongly favours and defends the biased pluralism of an Establishment led by an “economic-elite.”

In Episode 2—Down the Rabbit Hole—Marianna introduces the BBC audience to Jason Liosatos. Jason is a well travelled autodidact, author, video and radio content creator and artist. He has committed his adult life to studying “mind and spirit.” Jason holds and promotes a very clear anti-Establishment opinion (AEO).

Marianna claims that she wants to interview Jason because someone told her that Jason is “key to Totnes’s conspiracy theory movement.” Marianna adds that she wants “to understand the ideas that some in the movement subscribe to, and the ways the conspiracy theory media spread them.”

This should be relatively straightforward. AEOs are very easy to understand, as are the reasons why people hold them. The AEO media—the Light in this instance—simply reflects those views and reports the evidence which purports to expose the wrongdoing of an economic-elite in a biased pluralist society. Volunteers distribute the Light because it reports stories of interest to them that they want others to be aware of. It isn’t rocket science and isn’t difficult to “understand.”

The soundtrack to “Marianna in Conspiracyland” relies heavily upon spooky, ominous incidental music to psychologically manipulate the BBC audience into perceiving AEO as some sort of threat, rather than the basic democratic prerequisite that it is. As her segment with Jason unfolds Marianna says:

Jason has all the hallmarks of a political activist, but he doesn’t see it that way.

Jason reportedly replies:

I’m a political atheist. [. . .] I’ve never thought that whoever you vote for makes much difference [. . .] like different wings on the same bird. [. . .] That’s not to be conspiratorial thing, it just seems to be true.

Jason appears to be correct. He is describing biased pluralism. So what are the “hallmarks of a political activist” that Marianna suggests? The definition of activism is:

The process of campaigning in public or working for an organization in order to bring about political or social change.

Marianna expands upon her reported opinion:

At this point Jason seems to me to be someone who is politically frustrated and concerned with issues like the cost of living crisis, which are affecting the lives of those around him.

From everything Jason reportedly says, Marianna’s appraisal seems fair. He could be described as a political activist in so far as he evidently wants to see political and social change and is willing to try to make that change come about. His primary concern appears to be for the welfare of his fellow citizens.

Marianna tells the BBC’s listeners:

… but then it [Jason’s AEO] starts to become more extreme. [. . .] It is about sinister plots that are trying to control our way of life and cause us harm.

This is Marianna’s edited, post interview, prelude to the following recorded statement from Jason:

To be honest with you, I think they are using it [the pseudopandemic] as a Trojan Horse. To bring in the great digital cashless reset which is coming now, and it seems to be coming in fast. [. . .] I hate to talk about this like I’m a “conspiracy theorist, I’m not. I’m a realist, I look at facts.

It is perhaps a sad reflection of the state of our current public discourse that Jason needs to stress that he is not a “conspiracy theorist.” He evidently understand that the label is used by people like Marianna Spring to dismiss anti-Establishment opinions. Jason is referring to the World Economic Forum’s (WEF’s) Great Reset and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

According to the WEF’s website, the Great Reset is an initiative, led by multinational corporations, which saw the so-called pandemic as a “unique window of opportunity” to determine:

The future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons.

This is based upon the WEF’s “stakeholder capitalism” concept which asserts that global corporations should be the “trustees of society.” Essentially, the Great Reset advocates a world run by a global public-private partnership with policy agenda’s set at the global governance level by well funded private think-tanks. Stakeholder capitalism sees elected governments relegated to “enabling partners” whose role it is to create the financial and fiscal environment for the roll-out of the global policy initiatives.

Central Bank Digital Currency is programmable money, issued by central banks, that enables all transactions to be tracked and controlled, at the point of sale, through programs such as “smart contracts.” Currently 114 governments, and their central bank partners, representing 95% of global GDP, are actively developing CBDC with 11 national CBDC’s already launched.

Announcing the proposal for the UK’s CBDC—the “digital pound”—Jon Cunliffe, Bank of England Deputy Governor for Financial Stability, said:

We propose a limit of between £10,000 and £20,000 per individual as the appropriate balance between managing risks and supporting wide usability of the digital pound. A limit of £10,000 would mean that three quarters of people could receive their pay in digital pounds, while a £20,000 limit would allow almost everyone to receive their pay in digital pounds.

If nearly all workers’ salaries are paid in CBDC—digital money—that can be programmed via “smart contracts” and tracked and traced by the central banks and their commercial bank partners, then, following its launch, the UK is highly likely to become a cashless society. Unless CBDC can be withdrawn as cash, and none of the central banks have suggested that possibility, most people simply won’t have any other form of “money” at there disposal.

The BBC has promoted CBDC, unquestioningly reporting it as “safe money that is easy to use in the digital age.” Arguing that the large volume of transaction data held by private corporations risks monetary destabilisation in the future, the BBC suggests CBDC as a viable solution:

Companies that control the data on everything someone spends, when and where they spend it, will sit on a priceless asset. Unregulated digital currencies could offer those companies incentives to create walled gardens, fragmenting the pound system. It would make controlling the economy more difficult, because £1 might not be worth £1 everywhere. [. . .] This is where today’s ideas [CBDCs] come in. Neither the Bank of England nor Government would have access to the data on transactions with a digital pound.

Either the BBC hasn’t read the Bank of England’s Technical Specification for its proposed CBDC, or it is spreading disinformation. The “priceless asset” of visible and tradable transaction data is a notable feature of the “digital pound.”

As the BBC reports, the Bank of England (BoE) claims “neither the Government nor the Bank would have access to users’ personal data.” Had the BBC done any investigative journalism it could have pointed out that there is no reason to believe the BoE.

The BoE also states:

CBDC would not be anonymous because the ability to identify and verify users is needed to prevent financial crime and to meet applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

So personal transaction data will be gathered. If neither the government nor the BoE are going to have access to the personal transaction data, as claimed, who will?

In its technical specification the BoE addresses this issue:

The platform model is currently the preferred model for offering a UK CBDC. In this model, the Bank hosts the core ledger and an application programming interface (API) layer. The API layer would allow private sector firms, known as Payment Interface Providers (PIPs) and External Service Interface Providers (ESIPs), access to the core ledger functionality in order to provide user services. [. . .] PIPs and ESIPs need identity and payments data[.]

Yet, with regard to analysis of the “core ledger” the BoE adds:

The Bank may need to collect operational metadata for analysis of system status and performance. This would allow the Bank to maintain the core ledger and the API layer. The Bank could also collect aggregate data, subject to effective anonymisation and privacy protections, in order to undertake economic and policy analysis.

It seems, then, that the BoE is proposing to harvest transaction data despite claiming that it isn’t. The public will have to access their CBDC wallets via the PIPs and the ESIPs. In the BoE model “PIPs and ESIPs would carry out user authentication” and “user balances would be recorded on the core ledger.” At the same time the core ledger will be a “centrally governed, distributed database.”

It is very difficult to see where the alleged “anonymity” comes into the BoE’s CBDC model. The ESIPs and PIPs will have complete oversight of all transaction data and our use of CBDC cannot be “anonymous,” according to the BoE. At the same time the BoE intends to store “user balances”—data it can only gather from the PIPs and ESIPs—and use that data for “economic and policy analysis.”

Contrary to the BBC’s claims it seems the private payment service providers and commercial banks (PIPs and ESIPs) will have access to “data on everything someone spends” on a hitherto unimaginable scale, thanks entirely to CBDC. So where in the BoE’s proposed model does the alleged “anonymisation” occur?

The BoE states that “any information accessed by the Bank [of England] would have to be effectively anonymised off-ledger.” This is because the digital ‘on-ledger’ model it has proposed doesn’t have any scope for “anonymisation.”

To explain how this supposed  “off-ledger” privacy protection will supposedly work, it cites the Information Commissioners Office (ICO). But the referenced document simply outlines the standards for anonymising data. It says nothing about how to achieve this or, crucially, who should have access to the raw data before they “anonymise” it.

The BoE talks about using privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) which the ICO lists as various models of algorithmic randomisation, encryption, etc. However, the BoE is not keen on PETs:

PETs are likely to introduce system complexity to varying degrees. This could create a tension with security, performance, resilience, interoperability and extensibility requirements, as well as with system build and operation costs. The Bank does not intend to receive or use personal data. [. . .] Further work is needed to assess the technology implications of such an arrangement.

There is absolutely no commitment from the BoE to “anonymise” any of the transaction data it hoovers up from the PIPs and ESIPs. Merely some vague intention.

As it stands, the CBDC model the BoE has proposed empowers a public-private banking and financial services partnership precisely because it enhances the partnership’s access to private transaction data. This is definitely something the BBC should have reported to the public instead of deceiving them into thinking CBDC was “safe money.”

The WEF’s Digital Currency Governance Consortium is contributing to the global roll-out of CBDC. Convened in 2020, during the “pandemic,” the WEF’s Consortium fits precisely with its Great Reset ambitions to determine the direction of economies, the nature of all business and the priorities of our societies:

This consortium has built on our long history of public-private cooperation to accelerate necessary and timely conversations for responsible digital currency deployment. It has convened the world’s leading policy-makers, payment providers, banks, civil society organizations and start-ups to identify and address critical gaps in research and policy guidance.

As yet, the public has not been asked if it wants CBDC. The public consultations that have been undertaken, which have not been widely advertised—either by governments or the MSM—asked people what CBDC functionality they world prefer. The option to reject CBDC outright wasn’t offered.

With regard to the programmability of CBDC, Bo Li, the former Deputy Governor of the Bank of China and the current Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said:

CBDC can allow government agencies and private sector players to program, that is to create smart contracts. [. . .] By programming, CBDC money can be precisely targeted [to] what kind of [things] people can own, and what kind of use [for which] this money can be utilised. For example, [. . .] for food.

Inline with the IMF’s approach to programmability, in the BoE’s technical specifications for the “digital pound,” it states:

The Bank and HM Treasury’s public policy objectives determine CBDC functionality and technology choices. The design of a UK CBDC must deliver the Government and Bank’s policy objectives.

And:

Central bank-initiated programmable use cases are not currently relevant to the Bank and HM Treasury’s policy objectives for CBDC. Further, this functionality could damage the uniformity of the CBDC and cause user distrust. For these reasons, the Bank will not pursue central bank-initiated programmable functions.

Furthermore:

The ability to run units of functionality (programs) that can effect a change on the core ledger, and can be triggered when predetermined conditions are met or initiated directly. The Bank could enable locking mechanisms that allow PIPs and ESIPs to implement certain programmability features, including smart contracts, by earmarking funds on the core ledger.

The purpose of the UK CBDC, through its functional and technological design, is to deliver the BoE’s and the government’s policy objectives. In order to maintain “trust,” the BoE and the government are not “currently” going to program CBDC directly, but they may do so in the future. Instead they are “currently” giving their “partners”—commercial banks and private payment provider—the power to program all transactions to meet the state’s policy objectives. Just to be on the safe side, the BoE “could” lock funds—it won’t issue the required CBDC—if the programmed transaction doesn’t meet the state’s policy objectives.

Government’s and their corporate and industry partners have repeatedly stressed how the pseudopandemic was an opportunity to “build back better” or “reset.” The analogy of a “Trojan Horse” is a credible interpretation of their actions set within the context of the alleged pandemic. One, at least, that should not be easily dismissed.

CBDC is intended as a cashless system, certainly if the Bank of England are to be believed. It is programmable and it is designed to control the transactions of its users to meet “policy objectives.” We are the intended users of CBDC.

Jason Liosatos

Jason’s statement was evidence based and, to that extent, accurate. He is clearly appraised of the “facts.”

If Marianna Spring seriously wants to “understand the ideas” of people like Jason and other like him, this was an opportunity for her to do so. She could have done a modicum of investigative journalism and would have been able to both appreciate and, more importantly, report the evidence underpinning Jason’s concerns to the BBC audience.

This does not mean that Marianna, or anyone else, would necessarily agree with Jason’s conclusions. The Great Reset and CBDC may bring all the benefits that its architects suggest. Although that seems unlikely in a biased pluralists society suffering from economic-elite domination.

Yet, in the edit, Marianna Spring chose to prelude Jason’s words with an accusation that his evidence based, factual opinion was “extreme.” By framing his statement as allusion to “sinister plots that are trying to control our way of life and cause us harm,” Spring’s obvious intention was to convince the BBC audience that his views are unworthy of serious consideration.

Unless Marianna is simply incapable of conducting any research, she is deliberately deceiving the public. Marianna is spreading disinformation to dissuade her listeners from investigating Jason’s claims.

Based upon everything we have discussed in this series to this point, the evident purpose of “Marianna in Conspiracyland” is to protect and defend the biased pluralism of an economic-elite Establishment. Marianna Spring has all the hallmarks of a state propagandist.

Following on from Jason’s reference to the Great Reset and CBDC, Marianna tells Conspiracyland listeners:

The digital cashless reset conspiracy theory that he’s referring to here is one that suggests governments and banks are plotting to control access to your money and therefore, also, you. I’m reminded how frequently conspiracy is muddled up with a range of views and hides in the most unsuspecting corners of communities like this one. There’s no prototype for a conspiracy theorist. They can be a doctor , a teacher or an artist.

Mixing fact with disinformation and deceiving by omission, this is remarkable propaganda from Spring. Her purpose here is to further convince her audience to ignore Jason by casting him as a fool, and she deploys the “conspiracy theory” label to that end.

She studiously avoids any specific mention of either the Great Reset or CBDC and obfuscates their existence behind the “conspiracy theory” label. This will leave her listeners uninformed and ensure they don’t pick up on anything Jason is talking about.

Whether “governments and banks are plotting to control access to your money and therefore, also, you,” as Jason and millions of others like him suspect, is a matter for urgent public attention. The evidence strongly suggests that this is a tenable suspicion. Marianna Spring and the BBC are seemingly determined that this crucial public debate will never happen.

Jason, the Light newspaper, and many other people with AEOs, in their efforts to bring this information to wider public attention, are not “hiding.” Marianna introduced Jason by acknowledging the reach that his videos and podcasts have achieved. He has made himself a public figure and couldn’t be more open and transparent about his AEOs. Contrary to her own reporting, Spring evidently wants the BBC audience to believe there is something furtive, even secretive, about people who question power.

Spring then adds some “truth” to lend credibility to her disinformation based propaganda. She acknowledges that a so-called “conspiracy theorist” could be anyone. This is because there is no such thing as a conspiracy theorist. Just ordinary people who hold anti-Establishment opinions.

Unsatisfied with the level of disinformation she spread to illegitimately discredit Jason’s opinions, Spring then decides to ramp things up a notch. To a foreboding soundtrack, the BBC’s disinformation expert says of Jason:

While he says he’s an advocate for peaceful change, I find frequently that hate and antisemitism in particular come hand-in-hand with the conspiracy theories he talks about. Hateful tropes are woven into their fabric and, more often than not, it’s the powerful Jewish globalists, who they believe play an instrumental role in what’s happening.

Thus far, Jason has spoken about the Great Reset, CBDC and his hopes for a peaceful utopia where individual take responsibility for their actions. He hasn’t mentioned “Jewish globalists” once. Spring calls all of this “conspiracy theory” and therefore implies that Jason’s opinion have “hateful tropes woven into their fabric.”

To emphasise her point Spring then quotes one of Jason’s tweets:

The Jewish chosen ones, superior to all other races, especially blacks, let’s send some of the boats with migrants to the shores of Israel to make some nice mixed race to dilute the Israeli arrogance.

To most people this sounds like an obvious example of antisemitism. It transgresses the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism because, in his tweet, Jason has seemingly accused “Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group.”

While not excusing Jason’s tweet in any way, there is a context that Marianna Spring chose not to report. His comment came in a re-tweet of an original share by the British rapper Lowkey.

Lowkey posted footage from a video titled Israel’s New Racism: The Persecution of African Migrants in the Holy Land. The short documentary catalogues the Israeli anti-African immigrant protests that took place between 2010 and 2013, including the comments of some right-wing Israeli politicians.

We cannot and must not ignore the darker side of human nature. I make no apology for reporting the content that Jason was responding to. All of which comes from footage contained in the short documentary.

At one rally a women protesting in support of the African migrants is accosted by an older Israeli man who says:

You’re married to a nigger! Get out!

Another Israeli man tells the women that he hopes she is raped.

In another documented incident, an Israeli anti-African immigrant protester announces to a cheering crowd that she is proud to be a racist. Calling African people “infiltrators,” another Israeli man shouts, presumably to an African migrant, “I’ll stick a pole up your ass. You disgust me! Infiltrators go home!”

It is not unusual for African migrants to Israel to be refused work permits. Consequently many can’t afford essentials, such as food. The footage of the anti-African rallies showed that they were often led by serving members of the Knesset. At one large rally, Michael Ben-Ari said:

You want to help Africans. Go to Africa! You want to give them food? Give them food in Africa. This is the only Jewish State we have.

Speaking at another large anti-African rally, the current Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, Yariv Levin, said:

This is not Eritrea or Sudan. This is our home! This is our country!

Israel’s former Permanent Representative to the United Nations and current chair of the World Likud—the Likud Party’s internationalist arm—Danny Danon, said:

The most important thing is to expel the infiltrators [African people] from the country to protect Israel as a Jewish State.

The present Israeli Transport Minister, Miri Regev told the cheering Israeli crowd:

The Sudanese are a cancer in our body.

The documentary reported that the Israeli government amendments to its anti-Infiltration Act, which then allowed non-Jewish immigrants to be detained for up to three years, prior to deportation, had led to the creation of the enormous Saharonim Prison in the Negev Desert that can hold up to 8,000 Africans without trial.

Eager to cast Jason as an antisemite, Marianna Spring certainly does not want the BBC audience to have any appreciation of the context of his tweet. There is no excuse for any kind of bigotry, including racism and antisemitism. While Jason’s tweet was perhaps injudicious, wrongly accusing Jews of collective responsibility, it was made in response to the grotesque racism exhibited by some Israeli’s during those protests.

Two wrongs do not make a right, but we have all said stupid things in the heat of the moment. What Jason’s ill-judged tweet does not demonstrate is that he is “antisemitic,” as Marianna is clearly insinuating. If she gave any context, which she didn’t, all she would have demonstrated is that disgusting acts of racism make Jason very angry.

Marianna, as is the norm, does not provide any evidence to support her claim that AEOs are woven with “hateful tropes.” She says that this is what she “often finds” but we have no reason to accept her findings.

Jason maintains that he does not believe his re-tweet was antisemitic, we might disagree because it did appear to cast all Jews as guilty of the racist obscenities of a small minority. However, Marianna Spring is using exactly the same form of bigotry.

While one foolish tweet in no way proves that Jason is antisemitic, Marianna is using it to make that allegation. Therefore, her argument runs, all people who share his AEOs are prone to “hateful tropes.” She is accusing Jason of that which she is herself guilty.

All Marianna Spring has provided to the BBC’s “Conspiracyland” audience thus far are unfounded epithets she has persistently tried to attach to people with AEOs. In her attempt to make these seem plausible, she then enters into the realms of absurdity.

As Jason strongly denies that he is antisemitic, Spring next asks him to define what would constitute antisemitism in his view. He replies that getting a knife and stabbing a Jewish person while shouting “I hate Jews and Israeli’s” would be antisemitic. Which is obviously correct.

Determined to make the “hateful tropes” allegation credible, Marianna says “the extremity and violence of his answer” really shocks her. Comically, she adds, “as he speaks Jason makes a stabbing motion with his hands.” It seems, in the weird world of Marianna Spring, Jason’s gestures are antisemitic too.

Spring is exploiting the logical fallacy of appeal to emotion. By reporting her supposed shock and distress, Spring is attempting to convey that emotion to her audience to convince them to believe her completely unfounded claim that AEOs are “woven with hateful tropes.”

Imbuing her listeners with moral outrage invites them to perceive themselves as morally superior. It is a powerful propaganda technique, sometimes called appeal to prejudice.

Despite Marianna’s farcical attempts to apply prejudicial meaning to the kind of hand gestures we all commonly use, this exchange reveals something more than her propaganda strategies. Jason appears to know that free speech in a “representative democracy” is judged in relation to the harm principle first outlined by Sir John Stuart Mill.

There is a significant and extremely important difference between saying, or tweeting, something stupid in anger, even if it causes considerable offence, and saying or doing something that puts someone in real physical danger. Hence his ‘on the spot’ analogy in reply to Marianna’s question.

While Jason’s answer may have been a bit too graphic for Marianna’s extremely delicate sensibilities, he wasn’t actually wrong. As Marianna is apparently a fan of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” she should perhaps spend some time reflecting upon its meaning:

“I wish creatures wouldn’t be so easily offended!”, “You’ll get used to it in time,” said the Caterpillar; and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again.

Whilst obviously the BBC series is a disgusting attack on the truth and full of lies and half truths itself, what is even more worrying is that those who do present the truth, mentioned in her disgusting program are also in the business of selling evil half baked ideology, and lies, which are seeded in their apparently valid anti-deep state, & anti-COVID (scam) facts.

All exits are covered, there are no saviours, able to live for more than 30 seconds. We live in a true tyranny, where the alternative voices are also state aided & controlled.

The climate cult are majorly pissed that the UK is suffering showers. How are you supposed to keep this sun burny porn up with that? Never mind. There’s always a way.

LBC:

“One month of rain to fall in just 48 hours this weekend as UK prepares for ‘washout summer
…..
While the rest of Europe bakes in high temperatures, where it could reach 50C, the UK has been subject to more unsettled, wet conditions.

The two might be linked, however, with the heatwave driving up Europe’s temperatures contributing to the UK being stuck under a ridge of low pressure.

Stephen Dixon, a spokesman with Met Office, told the Mirror: “There is no real change forecast to the type of weather we’ve got now – sunshine and showers.””

No real change forecast? WTF? As in, “Look we know it’s raining but it’s still part of the big burny burny!”

I don’t think his tweet was injudicious, or antisemitic, he clearly is sincerely convinced about that, is describing his perception of things, and does not collective blame anybody. And the sole fact that they are the only ones able to censor, deplatform anyone, even screw Corbin, and so on, this fact justifies any perception of power and control by this group of people, regardless of how big, representative, or influential they may be.

The climate franchise now attempts a crossover with the covid franchise to deliver yet another “new normal”. Not really surprising since both were the same franchise. Do you think any of the regular punters will notice?

Ooh there’s a climate “new normal.”

Hmm …. sounds familiar. Wasn’t there a “new normal” before? Of course! Covid led to a “new normal”.

Hmm … you don’t suppose ….?????

Nah surely not ….

But maybe …..?????

So for those of us who cleared that theatre three years ago, who saw, as Frank Zappa said, the brick wall at the back, the question is, Can we bear to stick around and watch those great minds creep an inch forward and then an inch back and go round and round?

Let’s see what Jonathan has to say:

https://jonathancook.substack.com/p/across-the-west-people-are-dying

“Across the West, people are dying in greater numbers. Nobody wants to learn why”

A bit bland but he’s on the right track… as long as we assume the “nobody” that wants to learn why consists of members of the public.

“There’s only one plausible explanation for continuing silence on excess deaths: governments, media and regulators are frightened of what research may uncover”
 
Well you can feel the wagon going off the rails here. There’s “only one plausible explanation”, which is that that triumvirate of governments, media and regulators are “frightened of what research may uncover”? That trio are most certainly not regular members of the public. And they may well be frightened, but not of what research may uncover but that research may uncover i.e. research may reveal to the public what this threesome already knew.

But then the word “plausible” gives the game away. The much mocked “conspiratorial” thinking is, of course, possible. But simply not plausible.

See? We are well ensconced within the boundaries of that – and here it comes again with apologies to all who are fed up hearing it – “Left” discourse.

So much sleazy undermining in so few words. So it’s no surprise to read the next bit:

“During the pandemic, the challenge for each of us was to maintain critical distance: spurning both the tribalism of those insisting Covid was a hoax and the counter-tribalism of those who demanded complete acquiesence to a corporate-political agenda dictated by Big Pharma under the mantle of “Follow the science”.”

The plague on both their houses. But the sides are not the same. And this can be established by asking a simple question: Which side did you hear about on the media? Only the second. And you heard it over and over and over and over. And it was never questioned. And it screamed into your skull from every channel. Meanwhile the first, if you heard it all, was mercilessly lampooned, demonised, excoriated.

Furthermore, “tribalism” applies to the covid believers who were marshalled directly whilst the rejecters were scratching away at the boundaries, isolated from each other apart from a cyber connection. 

And although Jonathan may be giving a belated elevation to the covid rejection side by placing it first, note also how he misrepresents it: “those insisting Covid was a hoax”. Covid was never a hoax. A hoax is a prank, a bit of fun. That was never what covid was. It was shit but it was deadly serious shit.

So – who wants to hang around as Jonathan scrambles around with his “dark night of the soul”? And debates the legitimacy of “conspiracy theories”? And connects a few dots …. before breaking them apart again …. only to perhaps connect them again … or maybe not? …..

After all, Jonathan wants to be plausible!

I am not interested in Marianna. I do not watch the BBC..but got the gist
Iain Davis is one of the best writers we have got…I bought and read his book when it came out..and I have seen his interviews…he can handle himself live.
“Pseudopandemic: New Normal Technocracy”
His main competition, from my point of view..not quite as fierce – slightly more subtle (but not much)…is a Girl..I found her book “State of Fear” even more compelling

Laura Dodsworth

I thought “The State of Fear” was the bravest thing any UK Journalist actually wrote and got published after interviewing most of the UK Covid Criminals – especially The NudgeUnit

Laura Dodsworth has got her New Book out tomorrow…

“Free Your Mind – The New World of Manipulation and How To Resist It”

What is Stakeholder Capitalism.
Capitalism is supposed to apply to every one. The idea that any individual can become an individual trader or enter commerce and in engage in capitalism.
But Stakeholder Capitalism formally recognises a superior group of rich people who will become the de facto government making democracy even more of an illusion than it is already.
The World economic forum say they want to introduce Stakeholder Capitalism.
But Stakeholder Capitalism has been around for along time.
Feudalism began to diminish in England with the eventual centralization of government that began around the first quarter of the fourteenth century,[6] and it remained in decline until its eventual abolition in England with the Tenures Abolition Act 1660
But in 1694 King William the 3rd gave an exclusive contract to a group of rich individual that exist today. The exclusive right to create printed money. The king and Queen became members and beneficiaries of this group. From that day to this the government would borrow the money from this group called the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Who could lend this money that they printed at interest. But more importantly they could control the amount of money in circulation. By making loans at low interest and increasing the money supply they could create boom times until there was enough debt.
Then they could call in the loans and charge high interest rates causing bust times.
They could then cheaply by the hard earned assets transferring the work and wealth of those who thought they were in a free capitalist system to themselves.
While world government organisation like the world health organisation are trying to get more control over nations with there pandemic treaty and the like.
Central Bank Digital Currency will make it easier to implement and micro manage while disguising that control is coming from outside the nation by Stakeholder Capitalists.

Good post.

Everybody should be asking the question “Why does the Government choose to borrow our currency at interest from a group of private individuals, when it could issue it’s own currency for free?”

For a brief time after the so-called “Financial Crisis” of 2008 the “Occupy” movement focused attention on Wall Street and the City of London. And then, suddenly and completely coincidentally, corporations were falling over themselves to embrace “wokeness”, the manufactured culture wars had the peasants at each others throats again and, thankfully for the “elitists”, the status quo was restored.

I can’t help feeling a great opportunity was missed then.

But every day is a new opportunity.

The euphemisms they are trying to normalise include
– “conspiracy theory” for suspicion, disssent or alarm
– “stake-holder capitalism” for fascism         
– “programmable/smart contracts” for prohibitions on using one’s own money
– “extreme/hateful” to imply that an expression is far-fetched/unpopular.      

Contrary to propaganda, anonymising data is not possible theoretically [Ross Anderson 2017]. The waffling by BoE confirms this.

Jason appears to know that free speech in a “representative democracy” is judged in relation to the harm principle first outlined by Sir John Stuart Mill.

The essay series needs to be on the concept of “harm” – with Spring being no more than a footnote. There is no room for Liberty or “free speech” under the Public Health, Common Good, Democratic concept of “harm”.

Harm to Health

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0016/104650/Health-claims-report.pdf
Health and wealth claims in programming: audience attitudes to potential harm
Research Report
Prepared for: Ofcom
Prepared by: Richard Fincham, Ian Sparham, Jo Smith & Samantha Grew
Date: July 2017

Within that document the term “harm to health” is used 31 times – example below. This is a key concept. It will be used to regulate all communications – not just public broadcasting.

1.2 Key findings
Q. How well is the concept of harm in programming understood?
A. The concept of harm in programming was broadly understood as content which was directly damaging to audiences in that it had the potential to cause detriment to people’s lives.
Spontaneously, participants were more able to cite examples of content that may cause harm to health, rather than financial harm. In particular, there was recognition of the risks of content recommending alternative treatments and cures, which could have severe consequences on those affected, particularly if linked to more serious conditions.

The Harm Principle in Action

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2023/ofcom-finds-gb-news-in-breach-of-broadcasting-rules-for-a-second-time
9 May 2023
Ofcom finds GB News in breach of broadcasting rules for a second time
An Ofcom investigation has today found the Mark Steyn programme, which first aired on GB News on 4 October 2022, in breach of our broadcasting rules.

It is important to stress that in line with the right to freedom of expression – broadcasters are free to transmit programmes that include controversial and challenging views, including about Covid-19 vaccines or conspiracy theories. However, alongside this editorial freedom, the Broadcasting Code imposes a clear requirement that if such content has the potential to be harmful, the broadcaster must ensure that its audience is adequately protected. . . .

We found that the comments made by Naomi Wolf had the potential to impact viewers’ decisions about their health and were therefore potentially harmful. Given that GB News did not take adequate steps to protect viewers from this potentially harmful content, we have found the channel in breach of Rule 2.1 of the Broadcasting Code. . . .

We have launched four investigations into the channel, and this is the second breach of our broadcasting rules recorded against GB News since it launched in June 2021. An earlier episode of the Mark Steyn programme broke our rules by presenting a materially misleading interpretation of official data without sufficient challenge or context, risking harm to viewers.

MARIANNA SPRING

,the BBC disinformation and social media correspondent, and in this podcast series I’m venturing into “Conspiracyland.”

Marianne 

fem. proper name, from French, a variant of Marian; sometimes Englished as Mary Anne. It was the name of a republican secret society formed in France in 1851, when it became the designation of the female figure of “liberty” popular since the days of the Revolution; hence “personification of the French Republic” (1870)

spring (v.)

Middle English springen, from Old English springan “to leap, leap up, jump;” of a fountain, spring, etc., “burst forth;” also “fly up; spread, grow” (class III strong verb; past tense sprang, past participle sprungen). This is from Proto-Germanic *sprenganan (source also of Old Norse springa “burst,” Old Frisian springa, Middle Dutch springhen, Dutch springen, Old Saxon and Old High German springan, German springen “jump”). This is usually said to be from PIE *sprengh-, a nasalized form of root *spergh- “to move, hasten, spring” (source also of Sanskrit sprhayati “desires eagerly,” Greek sperkhesthai “to hurry”). However Boutkan is attracted to an alternative derivation from PIE root *sper- “to spread, to sow” (for which see sparse).

In Middle English, it took on the role of causal sprenge, from Old English sprengan (as still in to spring a trap, etc.). The meaning “to cause to work or open,” by or as by a releasing of the spring mechanism, is from 1828.
The transitive meaning “announce suddenly, bring out hastily and unexpectedly” (usually with on) is from 1876. The meaning “to release” (from imprisonment) is from 1900. The slang meaning “to pay” (for a treat, etc.) is recorded from 1906.

What a bunch of perverts, weirdos and utter demons have been held up as geniuses to us for our entire lives.
Listening to Sheepfarms’ series on the Huxleys and Orwell presents some brilliantly researched and serious food for thought – whoever knew Orwell’s father sold opium to China for the empire ( most likely with a gun held at the head of the purchaser) . They are positing the idea that Orwell was also an asset, and based on recent experience I think they might be right. Our poor benighted souls have been much abused since we were old enough to be imprinted with the propaganda they had prepared. Now the question to me is, this revealing of so much that has happened of late, is it too part of the process these controllers had planned, or is there some kind of download of consciousness or awakening occurring? Mark Devlin et al have discussed this a great deal. What a time to be alive.

The digital cashless reset conspiracy theory that he’s referring to here is one that suggests governments and banks are plotting to control access to your money and therefore, also, you. I’m reminded how frequently conspiracy is muddled up with a range of views and hides in the most unsuspecting corners of communities like this one. There’s no prototype for a conspiracy theorist. They can be a doctor , a teacher or an artist.

There is a big difference between an abstract conspiracy theory and a concrete conspiracy practice. Practical steps have already been taken by the conspirators involved to control both people and money via the introduction of the idea of going tip toe cashless with the introduction of a digital currency etc. Whether or not that “cashless reset” will ever come off to the satisfaction of the conspirators is entirely a different matter and will depend on a number of different factors and conditions for the outcome, but its already in the pipeline and is not simply just a “conspiracy theory”.

Hey Thomas,

Wisdom, I think, may be found in the Bible.
Peter, 2:15;
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.

So let’s not be fooled, but let’s be fair. Wisdom hurts a little sometimes, I think.

I agree that wisdom can be found in the Bible, as well as discernment. That said, do you know who the men were that decided what books would be included in the Bible? I would suggest that discernment and wisdom is needed to understand why certain books were chosen, while others were not.

God gave us all Free Will, and that is analogous to freedom. You are conflating Liberty with Licence. There can only be true Liberty and Freedom, when the majority of people are moral, of good character, and of good ethics. We are free to decide what we will be within those parameters. Moral people understand the truth of the 7 sins, the 7 virtues, and the 10 commandments.

I also agree that wisdom is, in most cases, an extension of experience in life, and overcoming adversity.

“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”

The cosmic blueprints which we take for granted today came into being the way we know them today, but they surely didn’t have to.
They would have had to come out that way only if we took the consequences of the blueprints as having existed before their creation.

Yes, these are mind-boggling issues, which is why just shaking facile dismissal of them out of one’s sleeves is an affront to the untold aeons of difficult human history which have preceded our modern consciousness.

The Gods, whatever they are, and whether or not you accept their existence, are far more ancient than our oldest ancestors were, and so, if we ditch them in keeping with the current fashion, we surely end up no longer have any convincing tools with which to rationally judge, or even assess them.

Theology requires serious study if the aim is to come to some convincing conclusions.
On the other hand, making light of religion is child’s-play – I can even do it myself, when in light-hearted company…

But the miracle of existence is far too precious a matter for me to want to do it under any other circumstances.

But there are the laws of nature and technology of man, (evolution, do plants have rights?) to defend, and someone named the critters, colors and all things.

Those someone’s simply don’t vanish, they hide and control a process, to not know the process only indicates age, or lack of it. They can be referred to as gods b/c they control the process, not us, we can only know about it and blend in, or face the consequences of the process once it suddenly arrives.

So when people open their mouth and talk, it becomes very easy to determine if they are old enough to know the process.

I’ve convinced myself that no average person alive today has seen as many days of sunrise as me, only b/c they open their mouth and prove to me all the things they don’t know. And don’t look to history as a guide, its a trap, a very sophisticated one, but a trap none the less.

Patton was a war pig that had no problem beating WW1 veterans out of D.C. when they dared to demand their promised funds from the government.

Patton, if anything, was probably running his mouth in an effort to gain more power in the military and or politics. Basically one in the same at the top.

I doubt highly that he would have had the backbone to publicly oppose the creation of Israel in 1948.

What about Koba’s post isn’t at least true anecdotally?

Banking, Law, Entertainment, and now Technology, are in fact dominated by Israelites. The control of tech was achieved via Unit 8200 and the Talpiot Program.

While not all Israelites are International Zionists, those at the top, the elite of Israel, are definitely Zionists. Many of the elites around the world have declared that they are Zionists and have asserted you don’t have to be an Israelite to be a Zionist.

Rothschild built the World’s Supreme Court in Israel for a reason.

I know Talmud is bad stuff, read a couple of verses there.

But you cannot just connect and smut some due good universal advises and connect them to some bad book like Talmud, Mein Kampf, Pol Pot memoires.
These advises also appear in the bible, the Torah, in British law, nearly all law books on our planet.

When they build up the new Stalin Commie “paradise” in Russia after the revolution in 1917 they tried to find some NEW other legal rules than those of the bible for the new “equal” society, but couldnt.
They had to incorporate more or less the 10 Commandments to give the law basic meaning.

I mean everything fine can be smeared that way.
If we could agree Talmud is smut, but the Noahide laws is a basic requirement for civilisation.

The Talmud is still taught as Judaic Law, and there are many in positions of power, that have turned the same ideology into Policy and pushed for it in Israeli Law.

Does this apply to all Israelites? NO. Never said it did. It does apply to many in positions of power and influence.

The demonstration is that Noahide Laws are as oppressive and dangerous as Sharia Laws.

I think it could simply be old-fashioned xenophobia and/or a deliberate psyop.

How much power do the money handlers weild in a world in which economies can be turned on and off like a tap during Covid, when entire industries could be subsidised with magic money trees which suddenly bloomed everywhere? The ‘banksters’ clutching the purse strings start to look a little more like beefeaters at the palace gates.

I am aware of the psyop that wants to push hate of Israelites.
I do not hate Israelites. I hate the Israelites, and their lackeys, in positions of power and influence that are pushing the destruction of the West.

Israel deserves the attention because they are the meat shield for Rothschild, Kissinger, Klaus, Epstein, Fink, Zalinsky, etc. etc. etc.

The history of the Balfour Agreement, the Establishment of Israel, as in territory taken from Palestinians, the criminal acts committed that I listed, the ideology of racial and ethnic supremacy, the desire to create an ethnostate, then blaming the rest of the world because they are just always victims.

That is the Psyop of psyops, that anyone refuting criticism of Israel is trapped within.

Fact is that ~60% of Israelites believe they are the chosen people and the rest of us are just cattle. The name that comes to mind is Yuval Noah Harari. You know, those useless eaters and free will is over.

Because it’s the sort of thing the Nazis used to say. And the Nazis weren’t nice guys, compadre, they were authoritarian, industrial-age, propaganda addicted fascists. They embodied everything that I was scared was resurfacing during Covid. They loaded people onto cattle carts and treated them as industrial byproducts. They were also enabled by Western Jews, according to many of the Neo-Nazis I chat with on here, as part of the International Jewish Conspiracy they’re always banging on about, and yet they’re still always rehabilitating the Nazis for some reason.

Well aware of the intent of fixed frame intelligence agencies to foment, and push, the made up term “anti-semitism”. A semite isn’t just a J and no one has claimed to hate all semite people.

Who claimed that the National Socialists are an ethnic religious group? Actually, if you study their occult beliefs, and their desire to create the Aryan Race, then you could argue that their goals were focused on ethos and faith.

I see, so you might recognize that the Js are both, uniquely throughout the entire world, an ethos and faith at the same time. Who else in the world gets this distinction? Anyone?

As you can hopefully see by now , there is a mainstream definition of “conspiracy theorist” and that is ” little Hitler” because it ALWAYS comes back to the “chosen ones”.

The narrative controllers must always bring it back to that because they are addicted to a single trick, which has worked really well for them for over 1000 years: the trick is to accuse your victims of your own crimes, and if it doesn’t stick, keep accusing until it does..
The original source of “racial purity” ideas and racial hatred is the Old Testament, slavishly adopted by christians vying for a slice of “chosen-ness”.

The hucksters are about to find out that tricks all have expiry dates and the lesson taught by the story of the boy who cried “wolf”.

Annual subscription…isnt the legal term.
if you dont have a license as in TV license you get fined, and if you dont pay the fine and miss fine payment issued by HM courts and again mess with court order then maybe prison as it is her Majesty HM government prisons, court, no different than car insurance, Car registration, Car tax etc etc.
it isnt the BBC, it is the government who does the registration and puts you in prison like the council tax or being homeless or begging.
whilst on that subject didnt the bojo Conservative tell you all, they would repel all of this LOL yer and they added more criminality to being poor or homeless like the new 14 day evictions and not paying your poll tax (council tax) selling the build back better dream done on stealth and so fast that alt media including Off G) has yet to report on any off it. (that is what the conservative fake Christian MIC alt media does)

A few misconceptions imho (re CBDCs):

CBDC transactions are only seen by central banks (and hence government) in an anonymized form. The wallet-providers (likely commercial banks) are the ones that will have your personal data and details of every transaction. As they currently do when you make a card transaction. What they may do with that data (ie who they share it with) is, of course, questionable. The commercial banks (or other ‘wallet’ providers) will also be the ones that may or may not add the ‘programmable’ aspect.

The CBDC limit (£10,000 to £20,000) is to stop everyone from shifting their current bank accounts into the digital pound accounts (which would have repercussions for the broader economy ie providing loans to customers (raising interest rates), as central bank reserves would decrease with the shift)

And the CBDC will be fully convertible to cash afaik. People will essentially vote with their feet as to which they prefer.

Which is probably the most worrying aspect, given the track record of the manipulable ‘crowd’ with respect to various nudges/perks or egregious propaganda

According to the link above you re BIS and total control and other frequently statements from IMF and Sber bank, the goal is 100% clear: Cashless digitized IoT society as quick and as far possible.
All other declarations are the usual hoping, “I have a dream”, and illusion about do-good. It could and would be, but reality shows not.

I find most discussions about CBDC to be fiddling around the hot porridge.
The central problem with CBDC is that it is an abnormal perversity which contradicts the way nature and we all function.
Its build on zero sum, 2-dimensional excel sheet and paper, book keeping fiduciary, trust in derivative circus, beliefs in fiat money, and claim to be superior to the 3-dimension, our earth and universe.

A dry bookkeeper’s wet dream about world domination.
Herman Gref/Sber bank (Russia’s biggest) even have the naughtiness to claim Bankers deliver spirituality to society.
Do you believe that? A dry bookkeeper in a dusty office buried in paper, manipulated annual account reports and excel sheets, with spirituality??

You’re probably right. There’s likely always an excessive human hubris about the “next big thing”.

There (currently) being hubris over the infallibility of encryption (which CBDCs would rely on). And which the machines and algorithms of the future will no doubt refute and reduce to nothing.

In the most basic terms, this is what CBDC is:

17 that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.

The observation about anti-Establishment Opinion is the key to the whole thing. “Establishment Opinion” is the term for the ruling dogma, once spun as “the word of God” so we may consider ourselves to have at least progressed to an admission that the rulers are delivering an “opinion”. But that’s deceptive anyway since this “opinion” functions in the same way as previous dogmas. It’s just that the terminology has to be more convoluted and subtle.

Those who hold AEOs are therefore treated like unpardonable threats just as before, though the terminology has changed. The words used to label them as always follow the latest paradigm. In this case, it’s the language of psychology delineating mental sickness traced back to that ultimate blasphemy “conspiracy theory” taken as the unmistakable signal for a diseased mind.

What is so unforgivable about “conspiracy theory” is that it shows a fundamentally critical view of the ones in charge. A view which the ones in charge would be eager to push if they really believed in that democratic ideal they keep mouthing off about. But they don’t.

Bandera, Biden and the BBC’s War on Our Intelligence

“Because peace cannot co-exist with the permanent war economy that underwrites the existence of the BBC and Biden, we must choose one or the other and then start moving in one direction or the other. And though our initial baby steps away from Biden and the BBC might, at first, seem trivial and of no consequence, when solid masses of us abandon them, their inevitable day of reckoning will hit them all the quicker.”

It exactly how U>K shillium started out as a fake free newspaper which appeared everywhere then events that managed to have 2 people in but still have TV production videos made and edited (editing and videos back then was serious money) to show more people there then uploaded on google and you tube 15 mins back then.
UKC is about as organic as the BBC actually BBC is not funded by racist nonces like UKC is).
Iain who originally funded state operettas called U>K>C ..? it aint the listeners..!!

This Marianna in Conspiracyland –is what the dummies alternative lot need to show the light paper is cool to give it credibility when in theory it a double psyop.same psyop they done for TR 10 names, Corbins brother, sandhurst kate, Fox,Andrew Bridgen fake mp etc et etc etc etc etc etc

I’m not sure what the relevance of this 60 year old thriller is. I wasted an hour watching it. Completely implausible. But they did know techniques for maintaining suspense. Nasty twist at the end.

No relevance other that Nesbitt was on it. Stopped watching TV years ago and switched to watching old movies 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s; became “fan” of British ones, specially comedies. Now I scarcely watch anything.

Everything always boils down to money, just like in Christie’s novels (with very few exceptions). Movies like these discipline the viewer into the idea that no other than the “American Dream” is a legitimate way to earn a living. The Law is always depicted as the good guy, always at the service of the community, and always vigilant; you learn how the positions of the camera affects how we perceive a particular character, etc. You see right through the conditioning; you are doubly strengthened.
