Charles Drago Wrote:So of course the question becomes, "Why were the films shown to you?"
I would suggest this answer: "To foster doubt, to create conflict, and to deflect attention."
For starters.
I would add another question: "Would the Sponsors have commissioned their own film of the public execution of the American President?"
If so, why?
To be able to relive, to "celebrate", their Power - as some sort of ultimate Trophy film - in oak-panelled rooms, whilst slowly imbibing cognac?
Or to be shown to select researchers as per Charles' formulation of fostering doubt, creating conflict and deflecting attention?
Or to be channelled to the public at some future date, for unknown reasons which might include the reinfliction of mass trauma on the audience, the demonstration that Power can tell you what to believe, or more prosaically as leverage of some sort against one of the players?
