Anthony Weiner

I claim that Wiener did a deal with NYPD that will have quite a few people locked up in the coming months.

That doesn't mean the top people will go down. 

They never do.

However, I watched the Weiner documentary above to get some more insights into his character and he's surprisingly convincing as a politician. Huma Abedin comes across as lovely and even subjugated by her husband, though we all know it's impossible to be so close to the Clintons without being completely toxic. 

They kill their enemies.

In the end it seems that the clip below sums up Weiner best. 

He's more engaged by his phone than by real life which he can easily parallel process as you will see.

In the mean time, the FBI have rekindled an investigation into Hillary Clinton and they had a convenient fire on the day it was announced. Like I said. Things are changing, but probably not as much as we need to really crack the blackmailed VIP child abuse rings that dominate the political narrative and celebrity media profiles for those too dim to see what's structurally wrong with modern political discourse, both domestically and internationally.

Wolf Hall - BB2

I was tipped off about this over at Interconnected. 

To say it's off-the-charts in terms of pretty much every dimension worth mentioning doesn't do it justice. 

It's the best TV production I can think of right now.

Most entertainment appalls me, but when it's good, it's like a long cool draught of ale on a hot thirsty summers day.

What is it that elevates the sublime to an exalted position? 

I guess a combination of things because there's lots to proselytize about this. I'm reminded of the TV series I Claudius, which although much more primitive in terms of production is still infused with something magical that takes it beyond the ordinary.

HSBC - Gangsters of Finance

An excellent documentary about the power of HSBC to threaten governments with global financial instability if they are fined too much for taking drug money over the counter in Mexico and elsewhere.

You and I have a limit on how much cash we can deposit or take out each day without triggering alarms, but HSBC made it easy for drug cartels by turning a blind eye.

Ultimately it came down to a dispute between the Department of Treasury and The Justice Department with The Treasury winning.

George Osbourne elevated the Chief Exec of HSBC Stephen Green to The House of Lords for laundering the cash.

This documentary is worth watching for the excellent photography which has a European flavour rarely seen in the UK as the production is ARTE.
