Whistle-blower Takes Legal Action Against British Ministry of Defence in conjunction with Documentary Premiere

The announcement of legal action comes two days after the online premiere of the documentary The Man Who Knew Too Much(https://youtu.be/z8FDPU-tDBU ). The documentary, which won a “Special Award for Investigation & Reporting” from the Harrogate Film Festival UK in May 2021, charts Colin Wallace’s journey from high flying intelligence officer to incarcerated convict and beyond. At the height of his career, Wallace worked behind the scenes spreading and creating fake news butlater became a victim of a similar demise.   The Man Who Knew Too Much includes contributions by Stephen Dorril, one of the foremost experts on the British intelligence services; Fred Holroyd, a former Military Intelligence Officer; and Richard Jenkins, who wrote a book about a witchcraft scare created by British Army PsyOps.   Ciaran McAirt of Paper Trail Legacy Archive Research writes: “In a modern world driven by information, instant messaging and social media, we have much to learn from The Man Who Knew Too Much. Disinformation and psychological operations may be easier to deploy today than they were half a century ago.”   The film is produced independently on a shoestring budget of £3500 by filmmaker Michael Oswald. Oswald’s previous films include Princes of the Yen (2014) and The Spider’s Web (2017), described by film critic Bianca Garner as a political drama more thrilling than John le Carré.   Independent POV Ltd is a documentary production company set up by Michael Oswald.

IPS Technology Still A Strong Contender In The Display Market

Microtips Technology, a US-based electronic component manufacturer is playing a crucial role in sustaining the ever-evolving market of IPS displays. It has several years of experience developing capacitive and resistive touch panels, so it can now offer both types of touch panels and display technologies. Microtips Technology's products are precious to numerous industries, including automotive, medical, telecom, HVAC, and so forth. A thin-film display is made with IPS Technology's LEDs composed of semiconductors manufactured by Microtips Technology. The rugged LEDs are easy to integrate with protective glass and provide an excellent display experience. For a long period,  the consumer electronics market got numerous benefits from the growing demand for IPS displays. The consumer electronics sector relies heavily on IPS displays because they offer a better and wider viewing angle and better colors. For their ability to display a wide spectrum of colors, IPS panels are still favored. IPS panels often have a wide gamut too (125 percent sRGB and over 90 percent DCI-P3), however, they exhibit more motion blur when the action is fast-paced. Panels made of IPS do not lighten or show tailing when touched, which is extremely important when used with touch-screen devices, such as smartphones. The IPS technology is also used in many computer monitors, TVs, and tablets, and Higher-end screens are commonly made with IPS technology these days. In addition to its advantages, as mentioned earlier, IPS displays would be excellent for video production studios, medical facilities, and broadcasting stations. You can find power-saving IPS displays on tablets and smartphones. Additionally, their color accuracy and wide viewing angle make them ideal for watching videos and movies or playing games. IPS displays also offer a high refresh rate, meaning that users can experience fast and smooth browsing on an IPS display. Therefore, IPS displays are becoming increasingly popular for use in tablets and smartphones because they have these advantages that are likely to boost the market growth. This network of IPS Technology modules was launched by Microtips Technology, one of the US's most prominent electronic component manufacturers. Microtips Technology's breakthrough products are highly regarded for their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness by millions of customers worldwide.
