A film about the City of London, the Corporation that runs it, and its role in the economic crisis. By Michael Chanan and Lee Salter. See www.secretcity-thefilm.com
IT'S ALMOST A YEAR since anti-capitalist protestors, intending to set up camp in front of the London Stock Exchange in Paternoster Square under the banner of Occupy LSX, were ejected from the square and parked themselves instead in front of St Paul's Cathedral. The result was one of the starting points for this film: a highly public debate about capitalism and the Church.
But there was also another power acting in the shadows to eventually eject the Occupiers - the City of London Corporation. An ancient body which dates back before William the Conqueror, before there was a parliament in Westminster, which zealously guards its autonomy and privileges to this day.
This is our subject: a secret state within a state, with deleterious effects on democracy, politics and economics in London, the country, and the world, for the City is joint headquarters with Wall Street of global finance capital. In short, 'Secret City' isn't just a film for Londoners - especially in these times of crisis, the role of the City concerns everyone everywhere.
'Secret City' is a minimal budget film by Michael Chanan and Lee Salter which investigates the history and contemporary role of the City of London Corporation. We tell the story though interviews with politicians, academics, writers, activists and campaigners, counterpointed with unfamiliar archive footage and a musical score by Simon Zagorski-Thomas taken from the nursery rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons'.

Dissent This
Exposing those who see the World as their Fiefdom and Humanity as Livestock - Recorded at the AV9 Conference, May 2018.
This talk provides a diachronic (i.e. over-time) view of the progress and status of evil in mankind over the millennia.
Alex Thomson focuses on a series of seminal decades in human history when wickedness broke cover in significantly new ways and reached major milestones in its manifestation within religions, philosophies and technologies.
We see that every social evil that has surfaced in the past generation is not unprecedented but is merely a revisiting of the preoccupations of the mystery religions of antiquity (refined in Egypt and Babylon and documented in Greece and Rome), in which an illuminated (gnostic) sacerdotal caste, relying upon semi-initiated mercantilist underlings, regards the world as its fiefdom and humanity as livestock. The key battleground will be seen to be the human psyche.
Since history means ‘inquiry’, this talk will be given for the benefit of today’s inquirer and will end with a section focusing on the cabals which implanted themselves in the world’s most advanced countries as Late Modernity dawned, which concern themselves with the thieving of intellectual property, the dominance of the legal system, the hoarding of precious commodities and the maintenance of a global war economy, whose next development is the nuclear war for which this cabal longs.
Bio:
After learning what today’s British Establishment was all about at Rugby School and Cambridge, Alex Thomson served in a Christian mission in the former Soviet Union witnessing the planned destruction of a region of the world, before spending the rest of his twenties as a GCHQ officer.
He moved to the Netherlands aged thirty in 2009 and has spent the last decade more quietly as a translator and interpreter and a researcher of networked evil. For the past five years, he has presented his emerging findings via UK Column and the British Constitution Group, where his specialisms are geopolitics, religious history and comparative constitutionalism.
