    Anyone see the program about the Mumbai terrorist attacks?

    Probably the best docu I've seen in a few years. Why? Because for the first time you could understand how the foot-soldiers are manipulated and coerced in real-time to commit atrocities and then told to kill themselves.

    It was truly chilling. The foot-soldiers appeared to be not very bright and brain-washed but hearing their controllers telling them that paradise awaited and that the mission would not end successfully till they were dead as well as calmly telling them when and how to kill hostages gave huge insight into what happens.
    Some of the terrorists seemed to distinctly not want to die, but the controllers was bullying and insistent in their demands.
    Hard Brexit now!

    Indoctrination is probably commnon to all sides, if not usually taken to such as extremes here. You're just not aware of being manipulated, as they aren't.

          You've been brain-washed by the conspiracy theorists.

              I'm aware that my views are heavily influenced by my environment. And part of the reason for that awareness is also down to the environment - e.g. being allowed to think and act relatively freely.

                Totally fact based programme
                A refreshing change from BBC's lefty propaganda

                  One of the more bizarre scenes is when the terrorists get into a 5-star hotel and are like kids in a sweet shop, obviously the first time in such luxury for them, and report back to the controllers in terms of wonder about the "30 inch screens" and size of the kitchens etc - to the obvious irritation of the controllers who is annoyed that they have interrupted their killing spree.

                    I reckon if the Tories told CyberTwunt to jump off a cliff he would.
