I'd like to share a video interview, and its sort of off topic.
Most of you won't bother to watch it and that's ok, it is quite a long interview.
A forum member recently called me a conspiracy theorist which is fine, I've referred to myself as that a few times, the only point I want to make is that I don't want to be confused with the type that go on about faked moon landings and flat earth theories.. That's not me.

Where this video does relate to the topic is where (if you take the time to watch it) you'll get a feel for how certain social agendas are backed by the elite and are not what they seem to be which is something I've spoken about several times on topics involving social agendas.

For those who do take the time to watch it, I hope this gives you a better understanding of why I take a very cautious approach to them.

The interview is with Aaron Russo, producer of Trading Places and Wise Guys and who died of cancer in 2007.
This may have been his final interview.

It was enlightening to watch it again and I'm glad I did.
I wanted to share it with others so that they could better understand my point of view (on many topics) and what's really happening in the world.

Whilst some of you may not be interested in this kind of thing, I just want to say that its actually an interesting interview in its own right and I hope that some of you can find the time to watch it.

these deviants are the same who call Trump an extremist. He is mild compared with the water melon child groomers.

ROFLMAO. All this video helps me understand is that you are possibly the most gullible man alive. Do you just believe everything you see in youtube videos and never stop to wonder if it might be a load of crap?

I like this page's summary of your video: "A dying libertarian movie producer claims to have uncovered the secret to world domination from some random guy with an important last name."

But never mind the rational explanation. Here's a crazy looking dude to explain it to you in a way you might find more relatable:

See? The Aaron Russo video was done too discredit the 9/11 truthers as a bunch of crazy people - the video itself is a conspiracy! Or not. Still, it's a tad more plausible than Russo's claims even if it is outside the bounds of credibility.

But crazy beard man's first point, that it was made up to sell DVDs, is a rational explanation which relies on far fewer ad hoc assumptions than the 'Russo is telling the truth' explanation. Applying Ockham's razor, the DVD theory is clearly the more reasonable explanation (unless you're a nutty conspiracy theorist who prefers their explanations convoluted and based on implausible assumptions). So there's your conspiracy right there, AC: a nefarious plot to sell DVDs to anyone silly enough to buy them. Caveat emptor.

Now here's David Mitchell & Robert Webb revealing the truth about some real conspiracy theories for your enjoyment:

Foxy,

It's not just one extremist. The issue is with the material, and Roz Ward as head of the program had a lot to do with putting the material together, and has clearly admitted that much of the material has nothing to do with anti bullying.

I see Roz Ward is now under pressure to resign from the program entirely.

The public would be wondering about the claimed Codes of Conduct covering ethics and values that are supposed to be in place for public employment.

Frankly, if employees can influence and divert policy to serve political interests, in this case the toxic Marxism ideology that is detrimental and corrosive to the democracy we cherish, what trust should the public be placing in the supervision of staff and contractors to abide by those fundamental policies such as Privacy and confidentiality with the public's information? What about public money and assets? Who knows what unapproved and unpublished purposes they are being directed to.

During my years as a contractor I fortunately only had brief exposure to the public services, State and federal. But one of the lasting images I have is of everyone claiming to be a manager, "Oh, my role people management and no I don't know how that system etc works and no I am not an engineer etc".

That seems to be one of the problems where Ms Ward and unmentioned others are concerned, they were allowed free rein in an organisational culture where it is all care and no responsibility. -Inverted pyramids where everyone is a 'manager' and it is only the few very junior employees, usually demoted to casual or temporary status, do the work.

Worse, in public organisations driven by 'positive' affirmative action and other policies that interfere with recruitment and promotion by merit and scrutiny by Public Service Boards has been lost (they endure similar problems!), the public have lost any previous assurance that the public service will be independent, impartial and delivering fearless advice, and serving community benefit.

Of course Ros Ward should have been shown the door and long ago. It would be disgrace if she was the fall guy and the managers responsible escaped Scot free. What about the bigger issues, that the department itself needs independent review?

Well played Toni Lavis.
It appears you're correct and I have no leg to stand on...
And that means you get to gloat away while I'm left with this demoralised and blank look on my face. Lol
Even worse, I'm not going live this down now am I?
Laugh away, you earned it.

I actually haven't watched the video in 5 or 6 years and honestly hadn't read or heard those arguments before.
I don't usually fall for disinformation and I feel like I've been had. ..violated even.
I guess I shouldn't make excuses, it just makes it worse doesn't it?
...Talk about strapping on the tin-foil had and make a complete fool of myself.

Whilst I'm not conceding that you're right, I will agree that it certainly appears that you are and I have to admit I have no further arguments or explanations for it.

Looks like I really put my foot in it this time, I'll just sulk quietly now while thinking of all the future comments I'm going to have to endure...
