The conspiracy was a bit weak


I thought they were going to build up a huge deal, but the reveal wasn't all that crazy, a bit anti climatic.

Exactly. It's the kind of secret the first writer could simply leak as a rumor if the goal was to bring him down. Why would he have to code it into the manuscript? Why not just write it down and mail it? And why couldn't they hire someone they know to write the freeken book who will go along. Why bring in an outsider who go's directly to the answers they are trying to hide.

the prime minister who's not involved in the conspiracy insisted on hiring the ghost writers, and ruth hired ewan cause he had no interest in politics.

Like I said - weak.

no it's the opposite of what you said, it makes sense but only after you reach the end.

No. Its exactly what I said, at the end and forever after.

He went to Emmett to confront him to see what would have been his reaction. Emmett got him killed, he put it in his writing because they were in the United States he was probably being watch since Amelia heard the recording between Rycart and the first writer. Which I found suspicious since when does she hear the conversations of others. He was staying at Mr. Lang's home so there was nothing he could do. Everything he wrote was transcribe by Amelia.


The only way he could get a message out without anyone noticing was by putting in the writing.

Mail would have first had to go through Amelia and if the CIA was on to him they would have intercepted the mail before getting to its destination.

Lang was the wanted a ghost writer. How many politicians become friends with writers??? so they can write a book about them base on what they talked about and or seen? Also they had to sign agreements not many people are willing to do that if they come aware of something that is not true.


The first ghost writer only became interested when he found out that Lang became a Labour party member in 1977 but there was a picture of his membership card from 1975. He found it suspicious and after finding out that Emmett was identified as a CIA agent.


The big deal with this is that the was basically being control by the CIA through his wife.

In the real world supposedly the USA doen't spy on the 4 other countries. They are United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. If this came out then it would have cause the United States its biggest ally.

Imagine if tomorrow you were to find out that a close ally has inserted someone into the highest position possible in this country. How angry we would be and demand punishment.


The big secret here is not that Ruth was CIA but that CIA was able to insert someone in the prime minister position in the UK.

I can't reply to your comment because it was so forgettable I don't even remember the details of the film.

not just cia, illuminati. the arcadia thing that emmit was in refers to freemasons. i heard of wife and children who were surprised to know that the father was freemason.

Good point, makes sense.

How does 'arcadia' refer to illuminati or freemasons ?

you need to read "the holy blood and the holy grail" arcadia is place in greece were the french royal dynasty the Merovingian (remember the matrix reloaded) came from. they claim blood line to jesus through his daughter sarah from mary magdeline. one of them founded the priory of sion and the night templars and launched the crusades. after the pope and the king of france destroyed them they became a secret society, the free masons. George bush senior is a well known freemason and was the head of CIA. all roman polansky movies i watched imply of the illuminti which is the secret secret head of the free mason (remember johnny english reborn) including the ninth gate and a little bit in the tenant.

Arcadia, the name of Emmet's exclusive London club, would almost certainly be intended as a pseudonym for the Tavistock Institute.

Those interested in learning where the truly power congregate and concoct future plans to govern the masses of humanity may be interested in info at link site. IMDB doesn't allow hotlinking [in order to protect kids from CP and other forbidden stuff] so you'll need to C&P this address:

Also, the Institute's own pompous portrayal of its purported missions:

Yes, and in the end, a real fizzer.

We had to wait until the end when Ghost gets his big clue from... Google. Oh, dear, five minutes searching public data using the world's most popular search engine and we find the linking piece in the puzzle.

"Damn! If it hadn't been for that Google, we would have gotten away with it! Doh!"

Actually, it was a big deal. The issue was that the CIA had managed to get an operative (Lang) in place as the head of the government of the UK. If knowledge of this got out, it was potentially a very big deal for the relationship between the U.S. and the U.K.

reply

Ruth Lang, not Adam Lang, was the operative.
