The CIA

I'm currently reading 'The Secret History of the CIA; Legacy of Ashes' by Tim Weiner (Doubleday, 2007). It tells the tale of the CIA as a rather inefficient and inept outfit that, through its numerous misconceptions and naivities, has cost the world several unwarranted conflicts. Everything the author refers to is sourced at the back of the book. It must be said that it is from the off a critical view of the CIA and in no way offers them any positive feedback, for which it's kind of hard to believe but then you could say that anything positive they have done would not be worth reporting right? Well, either way, it's a warts and all look into one of the world's foremost intelligence outfits in a way that no-one (at least to this author's knowledge) has done before. After reading this, I had a browse on google videos and this documentary appeared. It is evident that again there is an underlying reason for making such a film, which the author makes clear from the start. It is titled; "In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood and Bioterrorism - Official Release".Both of these have given me a new insight into the course of modern history, especially the cold war and its numerous sub-plots, twists and turns. Take a look.......

'Kymatica' - What do you think?

A brief synopsis; a look at (mainly) American society and its inherent flaws due to an overtly capitalist, and hence corrupt, system.

This documentary provides many interesting talking points, so many in fact that it would be pointless for me to try to summarise them here.....watch it above and let me know what you think.

The mistreatment of animals was particularly graphic and also the theory behind the birth certificate being a way of an individual joining the capitalist system from birth was interesting...........let's hear what you think!
