Adam Curtis

I regard The Trap as the most important piece of television/film of the last ten years. For it's breadth, for it's reverence to truth as a cure for the mentally damaged and deluded folks caught in a system never laid bare from it's root to it's fruit with such artistry and care. It's a very important film and I was greatly affected by it.

I agree with you there Mr. Dixon. It came along at the right time in my life. I recommend 'Esoteric Agenda' and it's sequel 'Kymatica' if you haven't seen them already. Freely available on youtube or better still piratebay.org for download to watch at your leisure. Like 'The Trap' I've watched them many times purely to let it all soak in.

Fascinating documentary. What strikes me most about the most visible members of the neoconservative movement (Bill Kristol, Richard Perle, etc.) is the way in which they are not at all conservatives. They're Trotskyists. Their aim is not to resist change out of concern that it will undermine what is good within a society. Rather, it is to ... See Moreimpose drastic, transformative change.

BTW -- I've become a huge fan of yours after watching this series, The Trap and The Century of the Self over the summer. Thanks to www.energybulletin.net for turning me on to them!

I loved this series for its interesting comparison and insight into The New American Century; which is rarely touched upon by many others, except by the likes of John Pilger, Noam Chomsky and a whole load of 9/11 Truth Activists.

btw - I have actually embarked upon the evolved child of EST and Werner Errhard that is "Landmark Education". I would love to know more about the history behind Errhard, EST and Landmark.
I also know a great man who was a student of a student (very recently deceased) of Wilhelm Reich. Did you know that Somatic Therapy evolved from his works? Somatic Therapy is where they work on the body, the physiology, rather than the linguistic, neurology or psychology of people, to heal and treat them.
I have also had the privelege to have studied some NLP, though its too ridiculously expensive anywhere you go to study this well. Fritz Pearls 'Gestalt Theory' heavily influences NLP and Landmark Education.

I would love to see Adam Curtis out-do The Century of the Self with a new second series of Drama's, that cover what happened after Century of the Self.... See More
IE - the rise in Self-Help, such as NLP and Landmark, esp in its acquiring EST from Errhard.
Also, to look into Carl Gustav Jung, who outlived Freud but corresponded a lot with him and developed a different and perhaps more deeper more positive way of looking at the Self.
Also into the legacy of Wilhelm Reich and Somatic Therapy.

this is my favourite documentary
