Mystery Paper

An episodic documentary series about the origins and mechanisms of the mysterious paper documents that appear to fund and control our modern world. Inspired by the experiences and research of Cal Washington.

Episode 5 has exploded in terms of workload — I did almost a year of pure research and it went from an estimated 30min runtime to looking like it would be 3 hours and veering significantly off from the Mystery Paper narrative (almost justifying a new series of its own).

The Power Behind the Paper

These are short ~3min episodes on (usually) tangential discoveries or issues that are part of the broader 'Mystery Paper' thesis, but deviate too far from the main narrative spine.

You can think of them as like 'DVD extras' in a sense.

Are UK ‘anti-monarchy’ movements actually controlled opposition? (3min)
Are these really organic movements or is it more plausible that an ancient power system is employing ancient statecraft?
Does the UK monarch really need to take the Prime Minister’s ‘advice’? (3min)
Officially, this advice is constitutionally binding and the monarch has no real choice but to approve it - but is this yet another clever deception?
Do UK Prime Ministers still physically kiss the monarch’s hand? (3min)
Official sources tell us that literal hand-kissing is a thing of the past, but are they not telling the truth about this, and if so - why?
