    Danny Greene From DBL:

    Someone let Danny Greene know I was going to give him a PTP invite but he apparently has me blocked so I can't PM him. His loss imo.

    My father has worked on the 747 and worked very closely with Boeing and Airbus over the years. He knows the very part in question and hes pretty confident it caused the spark and the disaster. I asked him what he thought after watching the doc and he though it was a lot of bullshit.

    Just watched the Central Park Five. Do recommend. The amount of innocent people that get locked up is alarming. Hell I leave GSP tracking on my cell all the time now in part bc I WANT proof of where I am. People scared of the nsa tracking them and shit. Hell I'm the opposite. Thanks Google.

    "That Sugar Film"
    Excellent doc if you are looking to make a positive eating change. Focuses on how much sugar we eat as americans, and how sugar is the real culprit behind obesity.

    you guys seen Garbo - about the double agent supposedly responsible for tricking the Nazis into diverting their forces away from Normandy prior to D-day?

    never seen so many interview subjects filled with glee and delight while retelling a story...

    Anyone else seen Adam Curtis' Bitter Lake? One of my recent favorites...



    It covers a lot...but mostly the beginnings of the US/Saudi relationship, continually botched foreign policy in the middle east, and spread of wahhabism. He has a very different style, so don't be too put off by the weirdness of the trailer. Had me hooked.

    I watched another random one the other night on prime... Poisoned by polonium. Kind of hard to tell which way is up with that one, but it's about that former Russian FSB/KGB dude who was supposedly poisoned by polonium in London after becoming an outspoken critic of the FSB and the Putin cabal. Interesting, if nothing else. Certainly paints Putin and his ilk as total pieces of shit...

    I took an 'Espionage In History' class during college. Fascinating class overall.

    We spent probably 1/3 of the class on WW2 alone. Just some incredible shit going on behind the scenes between intelligence communities most people really don't know.

    Excited to watch this doc.

    If you're interested in that stuff, read this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FC11A6/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&btkr=1

    It's long and pretty dense, and the "modern" timeline's cutting edge tech is outdated now, but the WW2 timeline dealing with Enigma is fascinating. Fictionalized account of how the Americans and Brits would disguise their operations to keep the Nazis believing Enigma was uncracked.

    If you haven't seen the Cosmos TV documentary series, you should. Ran through most of them while popping vicodin after surgery and watched in awe. Neil Degrasse narrates it all. Surprised to see that Seth MacFarlane was a producer as well. I remember being really excited before it came out, but I think I just completely forgot about it until recently. All episodes can be viewed in HD here: http://ihavenotv.com/series/cosmos-a-spacetime-odyssey

    BBC produced it, right?

    Great story, but they could've done a much better job telling it.

    oh I don't know :d. If it was bbc, it wasn't obvious to me. (I don't recall from watching and imdb doesn't clarify it much)

    Btw a British judge just last week ruled that Putin probably did order the poisoning :warn: :warn: :warn:

    Prescription Thugs is finally out n PTP. Creator of Bigger Stronger Faster.

    Its not as snappy and hard hitting as BSF. He makes it more personal. But nonetheless insightful. Its tough watching his family interviews.

    I watched that a number of months ago. I really didn't feel bad for any of the girls. Mainly because they had this distorted view of what their future would be like. That industry turns girls in and out quickly.

    HBO's James Foley doc is pretty good.

    Also just watched the whitey bulger thing on Netflix. Still haven't seen the Depp movie, will be curious to see how it jives with the doc.

    The Newburgh Sting

    Another HBO doc. This one focuses on the story of the supposed homegrown terrorists that were busted in Riverview NY before allegedly blowing up a temple and/or firing stingers at... planes at a national guard base. But in this case and in dozens of others, the key instigator and resource connection is actually an FBI informant. Entrapment much?

    The whole thing is on youtube, I just noticed.
