Time well spent.

Its been a while since i`ve seen them myself but i think you are correct . The use of technology is definitely a feature also.

I`ll just have to watch them again, i guess . With unemployment just over the horizon for me - i`ll have plenty of time soon.

Its just that there is sooooo much information in the full series.

Adam Curtis is the man.

I watched them after I was "awake" but yeah what you say is right, gives an incite into the shadow world of control, manipulation and power

I was "aware" before viewing the Curtis documentaries as well and that is exactly what I mean. After watching these videos (see "The Living Dead" too) you start to realize just how few people are really involved in all these huge society-changing events.

You begin to realize that the world is not just a place full of powerful clans and families fighting for the power to rule everyone. Instead, you realize that they are all just a bunch of opportunists looking for the next great "idea" to latch on to. As the "idea" spreads so does the power of those that help the "idea" spread. The real power in this world is in "ideas" and what we see as conspiracies are just "ideologies" - some failed; some successful.

I have some books to recommend:

"Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra Secret National Security Agency" by James Bamford. This book is a great read and sheds some pretty shady deals that went down:

www.amazon.com...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251405796&sr=8-3

"Fingerprints of the Gods" by Graham Hancock. A good book on the possibility of ancient civilizations. And "Supernatural" by Graham Handcock which delves into the possibility of an "otherworld" reality:

www.amazon.com...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251406000&sr=1-1

"History is Wrong" by Erich von Daniken. The author spends part of his book on answering the criticisms and charges made about the book "The Gold of the Gods". It is good to read what the author has to state about what happened.

www.amazon.com...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251406193&sr=1-1

These are some of the many books out there. Also of interest are books by Colin Wilson and Robert Temple.

I will contribute "Zeitgeist" and "Religulous". Unfortunately I don't have a link for Religulous but you can download it from a torrent site or buy it at Amazon.

As for books I would recommend "1984" by George Orwell and would also suggest reading "DNA pirates of the sacred spiral".
