Pearse Redmond joined me again to discuss the 1997 film Wag the Dog, a black comedy about a White House spin doctor and a Hollywood producer faking a war with Albania to cover up a presidential sex scandal. We dug beneath the comic overtones to find a much darker subtext, talking about the total absence of moral values in the film, how the tone of the movie develops from a very light beginning to a very dark ending, and how both of the two main characters are probably based on very real and very significant people. In the case of film producer Stanley Motss that is Stanley Kubrick - a man rumoured to have been involved in the biggest government-hollywood conspiracy of all time, the supposed faking of the moon landings.

We discuss the Agency links to the show, its commercial and critical success, the implications of the title, the context and subtext of the storyline, the characters, the themes and memes and possible predictive programming elements.

In this episode I take on a big and controversial question and answer in the affirmative: I think Edward Snowden is a false flag operative. Using purely open source information I look at his biography, the documents he supposedly accumulated and leaked, and the potential reasons for such a fake whistleblower operation. I provide a breakdown of my reasoning for my conclusion, before rounding off looking at where the Snowden story is going, and what we can do about it. (Read more...)
