The Power Of Nightmares: The Rise Of The Politics Of Fear (2004)
Narrator: In the past, politicians promised to create a better world. They had different ways of achieving this, but their power and authority came from the optimistic visions they offered their people. Those dreams failed and today people have lost faith in ideologies. Increasingly, politicians are seen simply as managers of public life, but now they have discovered a new role that restores their power and authority. Instead of delivering dreams, politicians now promise to protect us: from nightmares. They say that they will rescue us from dreadful dangers that we cannot see and do not understand. And the greatest danger of all is international terrorism, a powerful and sinister network with sleeper cells in countries across the world, a threat that needs to be fought by a War on Terror. But much of this threat is a fantasy, which has been exaggerated and distorted by politicians. It's a dark illusion that has spread unquestioned through governments around the world, the security services and the international media.

This is a series of films about how and why that fantasy was created, and who it benefits. At the heart of the story are two groups: the American neo-conservatives and the radical Islamists. Both were idealists who were born out of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world, and both had a very similar explanation of what caused that failure. These two groups have changed the world, but not in the way that either intended. Together, they created today's nightmare vision of a secret organized evil that threatens the world, a fantasy that politicians then found restored their power and authority in a disillusioned age. And those with the darkest fears became the most powerful.

But the fear will not last, and just as the dreams that politicians once promised turned out to be illusions, so, too, will the nightmares; and then our politicians will have to face the fact that they have no visions, either good or bad, to offer us any longer.

The Trap (2007)
Rated 10/10
The Trap is a series of three films by Bafta-winning producer Adam Curtis that explains the origins of our contemporary, narrow idea of freedom.

It shows how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today's idea of freedom. This model was derived from ideas and techniques developed by nuclear strategists during the Cold War to control the behaviour of the Soviet enemy.

Mathematicians such as John Nash developed paranoid game theories whose equations required people to be seen as selfish and isolated creatures, constantly monitoring each other suspiciously always intent on their own advantage.

This model was then developed by genetic biologists, anthropologists, radical psychiatrists and free market economists, and has come to dominate both political thinking since the Seventies and the way people think about themselves as human beings.

However, within this simplistic idea lay the seeds of new forms of control. And what people have forgotten is that there are other ideas of freedom. We are, says Curtis, in a trap of our own making that controls us, deprives us of meaning and causes death and chaos abroad.

Can't Get You Out Of My Head (2021)
Rated 10/10
Adam Curtis has a whole series of documentaries running on BBC iPlayer at the moment and they are well worth the watch. He somehow manages to piece together allsorts of facts that lead to the reasons why we (the human race) are at the point where we are now by using archive footage and facts to make you think that things aren't always what they seem and why we are where we are at this point in time because of history. It's all a bit of a mind trip and awakening to to the realities of life as we know it. Offering in a very methodical way why the world is the way it is and that things aren't always that simple. Try and grab them while they are available or you will miss some of the most cogent and cohesive arguments for the human condition.

CD Album
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
I just dug out my copy of this and it's the same as Gregs45s disc. I don't think it's supposed to be gold coloured, mine has gold colouration that varies from one end of the disc to the other. Just another bad case of bronzing and bad production from the PDO UK stable.
