A former oil company executive who now lectures and writes on ‘geo-political webs’ and the control of global resources will give a talk in Douglas this evening (Saturday).
Speaking at the Empress Hotel at 7pm, Ian R Crane’s talk is entitled ‘Conspiracy Theory or Deep Geopolitics?’, and present his case that the world is truly very different to what we imagine it to be.
Organiser Richard Cox said he met Mr Crane at a British Humanist Association meeting in London, and happened to get speaking to him.
He has some fairly controversial views, though there’s enough sense in his ideas,’ said Mr Cox.
‘I’m hoping to attract a varied crowd of people; people who are both interested in and sceptical of the subjects Ian will be discussing.
‘I hope people attending will stick around for a drink afterwards to carry on the conversation.’
Ex-oilfield executive Mr Crane was one of the first civilians to enter Kuwait after the First Gulf War.
He says that what he saw there so shocked him that he began a long journey to re-evaluate everything he thought he knew about the way the world works.
Following the events of September 11 2001, he began to give public lectures on his research.
In this talk on the Isle of Man, he will discuss the experiences and research that have led him to form his new world perspective, covering such topics as ‘false flag terrorism’, manipulation of the financial markets, genetically modified food and his latest research on the dangers of fracking.
He will ask questions on whether 9/11 was an ‘inside job’, and theories that the 2008 financial crash a manufactured crisis.
His talk will all touch on ideas that pharmaceutical and oil companies suppress medicines and technology that would help humanity, but hurt their profits, and that a corporate oligarchy is the real power behind our seemingly democratic governments
Mr Cox said: ‘Ian’s opinions are controversial and would be labelled by many as “conspiracy theories”.
‘His ideas are that in general people don’t understand what is going on in the world. This lecture is intended to provide an opportunity for residents of the Isle of Man to decide for themselves. Looking through different lenses, you realise different things.
‘Agree or disagree, it will certainly be an interesting and challenging evening for all.’
Tickets for the talk are £8 in advance, or £10 on the door.
