• Putin,
• MI5,

Finished watching it, Adam Curtis does a good job of assembling history into a comprehensible narrative, and then leaves off on a disquieting note...

And, today, news of a terrorist bombing in the UK, not particularly a surprise and in light of the documentary it increasingly reminds me of Gilliam's dark masterpiece "Brazil". There will surely be more to come, and closer and closer to home.

Also in the news today, more of Putin's housekeeping: http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/details-murky-after-lawyer-for-family-of-dead-russian-whistleblower-seriously-injured-in-fall-from-fourth-floor

Which isn't particularly surprising, here are a few examples where the UK has done it's own (rather botched) internal housekeeping:

• David Kelly
• Dag Hammarskjöld
• Willie MacRae
• Roddy McLean
• and finally, the "Mysterious" death (and even more mysterious "Investigation") of Gareth Williams

But Trump - and allies, are coming up with a new list of "Inconvenient" people, Oleg Erovinkin. We take our sheltered lives for granted, resistance has dire consequences, but the war will soon be coming home...
