I understand this is HN and all, but has anyone even bothered to take a peak at the EXTRAORDINARY content that was behind the spike?

In a nutshell, it is a transcript of a British parliamentary session in which the speaker claims a shadowy yet totally legitimate organization--"Foundation X"--is willing to donate billions to the British government no strings attached. It is extremely engrossing.

Here's video of the speech (starting at hour 2, 34 minutes). Exceedingly odd. http://bbc.in/9qS59B

I still don't know if this is to be taken seriously. What exactly could be going on?

Sky news is reporting on it too, and while it looks like it could be a work of fiction (it sure reads like one - Dan Brown comes to mind), it apparently isn't.
