"Conspiracy theories are a defining feature of 21st century life. You are only ever a quick Google search away from a documentary linking Israel to 9/11, or articles claiming that Covid was created in a military lab in the US.
"But in recent years, discussions that were once confined to the dark corners of internet chatrooms have exploded into the political mainstream. Leaders on the far right speak of a shadowy “deep state” controlling global affairs, while as many as 16 per cent of Americans subscribe to the QAnon theory that Donald Trump is leading a war against a cabal of Satan-worshipping paedophiles."
"While the documentary does an excellent job of telling the four wronged women’s stories, Turner makes an unusual choice to dub the audio from her interviews with the real mothers onto the actors. Presumably, this was intended to increase the sense of authenticity, but it unfortunately produces a clunky mess and there are actors whose voices do not match their faces at all.
"The technique was also recently used in Apple TV’s The Enfield Haunting, where tapes from the 1970s were dubbed clumsily onto scenes played by actors. It feels like a gimmick more than something that adds value.
"Despite its flaws though, Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax is a compelling story, brilliantly told, and a chilling reminder that conspiracy theories are not just the harmless spoutings of lunatics on the margins of society."
Eduard De Boer I caught it half way through. It's the second bite at the cherry by that company. It's purpose was clear from its title: the whole Hampstead thing was a big HOAX, the children were tortured to say what they did, the Hampstead parents were the victims of cruel harassment. As usual with careful editing this thesis was supported, all the people who took a stand were mad or bad. I too have and had serious reservations about some of the 'actors', both here and abroad, but nothing to shake my belief in the voracity of the childrens' testimony or the corrupt way it was handled. I have serious reservations behind the company and its motivation. It would be interesting to see who actually funds it just as it would be interesting to know who was actually behind 'Hoaxstead Research'. It doesn't take much imagination to think who might be. It fits a pattern of not too subtle rubbishing of reality and expunging the past. It is deeply disingenuous and manipulative, posing as the opposite. The State is determined to expunge all traces of these inconvenient truths. Richard D Hall is the latest target of television, media and sponsored individuals working together to prevent western narratives being challenged from 9/11 onwards. Assange is still incarcerated without charge. Alex Belfield was gaoled in much the same way as Sabine. All the 90's claims of a political paedophile ring have been debunked and the principal accuser gaoled for lying. See how the programme fits the government agenda of media control with perfect timing. The government message is that 'satanic' child abuse is pure fantasy, whilst being instrumental in the murder of untold thousands of children in at least two theatres of war, yet no one says what could be more 'satanic' than that.
