First, let me say that I don't think you will get a barrage of abuse. As you stated, you are offering constructive criticism based on your interpretation of the video content.
This 1700s cut-off date also has other implications. Call me paranoid if you like, but the British are very much portrayed as the villains of the piece in this narrative. Whilst I do not dispute the veracity of the ‘facts’ you present to illustrate the pivotal role played by Britain in this tale, by excluding all history pre-1700 you are completely missing the events that led to Britain becoming ‘Kabal Central’. Without them it appears that Britain was and always has been, purely by nature, the ‘Evil Empire’.
I can't speak for the creators, I can only share my opinion regarding how I interpret the part of the content you reflect on in your quote above.
The 'British' as mentioned in the video, is not the British people but the power elite behind the British Empire, those controlling the colonies.
Excluding the pre-1700 history is necessary to be able to point out the key factors regarding the events from then on, due to time limit.
I suspect the creators began by choosing the key points they wanted to address in the time allotted to the production which determined the final length. To me it seems that the key points they were striving to get across were;
- the taking, controlling of already existing technologies
- the falsification of the historical narrative to hide their purpose and actions
- hinting at who the perpetrators are by using 'British' as opposed to British Empire or actually naming all those in power, whom we can safely assume were not British as per the population of Great Britain of the time.
The list of people to whom the video is dedicated contains no forum members, as far as I’m aware. Rather it contains the names of those who have used this forum as a free resource for their own videos. I find this attitude very difficult to understand. The only visible link this video has with the forum is the title.
The 'thank you' 's of the video are clearly aimed at the content creators, parts of whose content was included in the video. As most of us in this forum do not have published content that is protected by copyright, the 'team' does not need to include us in this formality. Hence why we don't even know all of who the 10 creators are.
Regarding those creators using this forum as a free resource, its something we in this forum do all the time. We use the 'internet' as a free resource, and assimilate others' ideas with our own and post them here, sometimes giving reference while at times, not. This is certainly not because we intend to plagiarize those whom we've taken our ideas from, but in many cases we forget. More than once I wanted to quote the source of what I'd written but just couldn't remember where I got it from with the 100+ pages I had open.
Personally I feel it’s a mistake to commit to a specific alternative scenario with definitive conclusions. It’s almost as if we can all pack up and go home because it’s all sorted out now. What incentive does this give for further research? If you don’t happen to agree with the scenario presented then you’ll either join the forum to engage in conflict or just walk away. I believe it would have been better to tantalise people with possibilities and then allow them to draw their own conclusions, but then what do I know?
What incentive is there for further research? There's plenty both ways.
If you agree with the hypothesis, you have a wealth of ideas you can pursue to further untangle the time-line since the 'reset'. The video offers many subjects to research and contemplate.
If you disagree with it, you can provide research to show where its in error and if you manage to at least sufficiently prove your point by offering a better narrative for why and how things happened, the creators, in the following videos will get the opportunity to correct any presumption as new valid evidence is presented.
The bottom line is you have to start somewhere and you should risk drawing some conclusions and presenting them to be appreciated and scrutinized.
