I have a soft spot for that film. The BBC, and my boss there at the time, made it clear they hated the film. He told me he would never allow such a film again. He was true to his word. Although I did manage to make "Darwin – The Legacy" which he also disliked.

Sadly, most of my better films have never had a second showing.

You're right about The seeds of "The Mathematics of Chaos" film. Most of my films are related in one way or another. All trying to sketch out tools for seeing that the world is not the command and controllable machine our leaders still seem convinced it is.

Sorry about your comments. I am trying to move the blog to wordpress but it's taking a while because I have some pressing thiings at home to deal with.

In the mean time the only solution is to post long comments in several parts. It's clunky but works. And I think I speak for many here when I say we rather like your loooong comments.

Funnily enough the roll of drug money in the financial collapse and resuscitation (and the specific story I was alluding too) is discussed at the beginning of this (Max) Keiser Report .

Instead of letting you go on and on like a fool only to discover you've been writing only to yourself!

Anyway just wanted to say that I think Icon Earth should get its own post – in case anyone missed it- actually I wish it could be shown on TV again – it is more likely to paid attention now.

And then I said a lon winded thing about full information and nearness to perfect markets and the transfer of spending power from old western middle classes to new developing world ones and blah blah which Google decreed wasn't worth it

Watched Icon Earth last night, and what a gem! As Stevie says, ahead of its time, and still VERY relevant now.

I loved the quote about Globalisation just being another word for Imperialism.

Spotted the seeds for "Mathematics of Choas" in there. I admire your patience in bringing that to full fruition some twelve years later.

Looking forward to whatever you've got in the pipeline.

Icon Earth. Amazing, made in 1995, you were way ahead of most of us. It must give you no satisfaction to have gotten it right despite the unpredictability.

Always good to see James Lovelock, I have thought for quite a while that we must feel like a rash to the Earth, & that she might start scratching.

I liked the comment about politicians thinking that they can bend the Earth to their will, I think Tory boy is a prime example of that.

Actually the Observer report says $20 billion has been identified by Fincen as definitetly laundered drug money and according to their source they have only just got started. The $110 million was the forfeiture Wachovia paid.

Sorry for the confusion. But as you say, what the hell was the rest then?

Sadly though the article reports that it is only 110 MILLION not billion, that they have definitely identified as drug money, so you are left with an even larger amount "left over" that apparently comes from your average Mexicans changing their money. yeah right
