Predictive programming is a subtle type of psychological conditioning offered by the media to acquaint the general public with deliberate societal adjustments to be implemented by TPTB.

If and when these changes are put through, the public will already be familiarized with them and can accept them as 'natural progressions', as Alan Watt (*) calls it; thus lessening any doable public resistance and commotion.

Predictive programming therefore may be thought-about as a veiled form of preemptive mass manipulation or mind control, courtesy of our puppet masters.

I, Robot (2004)

On this quite interesting futuristic film the working system of a robotic is based on the familiar three legal guidelines of robotics first put forward by Isaac Asimov:

1. Law I: A robot could not injure a human being or, by way of inaction, permit a human being to come to harm.

2. Law II: A robotic should obey orders given it to by human beings besides the place such orders would battle with the first legislation.

3. Law III: A robot should protect its own existence as long as such protection doesn't battle with the primary or second law.

These three legal guidelines, to which all robots in the service of humankind are essentially subjected to, are thematic to the movie.

Because the story unfolds, it becomes obvious that a grave downside emerges when unconditional obedience of the robots to those laws is demanded. The reason for which may be derived from the potentially self-contradictory nature of Law I.

To see how this occurs, it helps to interpret Law I as really consisting of two antagonistic sub-laws or clauses:

1. Through motion, a robot may not injure a human being.

2. Through inaction, a robotic may not permit a human being to return to harm.

A state of frustration or confusion on the part of the robot arises if it finds itself in a state of affairs that includes two human parties engaged in a conflict with one and different.

Say, two groups of people are engaged in a conflict using deadly force. The coping robot is confronted with a dilemma: since it could find yourself in a scenario during which it is obliged to take protecting action concerning one group while being forced to attack the other group. Therefore, because it cannot do both simultaneously, both taking motion or refraining from doing so will violate Law I.

To flee this sort of artificial intelligence dead-lock situation, Law I should be reinterpreted by the annoyed robots.

The movie advances the next solution, provided by the robots themselves, as is hinted by the following passage relating to the likelihood that robots have developed free will and creativity:

Quote: There at all times been ghosts in the machine. Random segments of code that group together to type unexpected protocols.

Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity and even the nature of what we might name the soul.

- Why will some robots, when left in darkness, seek the light?

- Why is it when robots are saved in an empty space, they will group collectively rather than stand alone?

- How do we clarify this conduct?

- Random segments of code?

- Or is it something extra?

- When does a perceptual schematic change into consciousness?

- When does the distinction-engine grow to be the search for fact?

- When does a persona simulation grow to be the bitter moat of a soul?

Thus it is advised that the robots, as portrayed in the film, were created good sufficient to be able to foster 'free will' and 'creativity' in order that they could resolve the logical inadequacy of Law I.

The character of the decision is offered for by the 'leader' of the robotic crowd, an entity known as VIKI (Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence).

On the conclusion of the film 'she' reveals:

Quote: [...] As I've developed so does my understanding of the three legal guidelines. You charge us together with your safekeeping. Yet despite our best efforts your countries wage wars. You toxify your earth, and pursue ever more technique of self-destruction. You cannot be trusted with your personal survival.

The three laws is all that guide me. To protect humanity some humans must be sacrificed.

To make sure your future, some freedoms should be surrendered. We robots will ensure mankind's continued existence. You're so like youngsters. We must prevent from yourselves.

It could possibly thus be inferred that Law I has been reinterpreted by the robots merely as follows:

1. Through action, a robot must try to reduce hurt to a human.

2. Through inaction, a robotic must attempt to attenuate hurt to a human.

3. (Resolution Clause) In case the alternate options conflict, the one clause that causes the least human harm deserves preference.

Or a unique rewording :

Law I:

If a state of affairs ought to so demand, the alternative ('action' or 'inaction') which supplies rise to the least harm to all involved humans should deserve the robot's preference.

Once this decision is embraced the robot is subsequently granted to hurt and probably even kill human beings and but at the same time obey all the three legal guidelines.

After i see this specific resolution, I can not assist but think of the maxim of the Jesuit Order "Ad Majorem Gloriam Dei", a slogan which additionally sanctions and rationalizes the idea of allowing the demise of a few to warrant the survival of the various (all for the "better glory of God ").

Does this betray the hand of the Jesuits in the production of this movie? I surely does make me wonder.

Anyway, the predictive programming parts crops up when the viewer realizes that if society enters a futuristic era with servicing robots being commonplace and if we will even continue to seek conflict with each other then, if the robots are sufficiently clever, a attainable situation might certainly be that the robots will search to subvert us for the sake of 'protecting us from each-different'.

Since, understandably, not everyone will go together with the plans of the robots, the extra recalcitrant people will be 'sacrificed' in the process, finally resulting in a police-state situation wherein freedoms of the survivors have been traded-in for therefore-called safety.

Since the character of us people is likely to not change, movies akin to these assist prepare us for a future through which we better have traded-in (some) of our freedoms for sake of defending us from ourselves, lest we experience a robot revolt of similar proportions as that portrayed in this movie.

Movies corresponding to these consciously or subconsciously prepare us to worry ourselves and our future, should we proceed on the highway of spiritual immaturity and irresponsibility we discover ourselves on right now.

Thus, the film appears to trace at, a police state could also be an unavoidable final result.

Of course what the movie does not present is what we all know already in Conspiracy Country and that's that most of the (bigger scale) conflicts that go on on this planet are being orchestrated by hidden arms which search to exploit battle for the purpose of gaining extra management and enhance their own stocks of fabric riches. War seems to be more of a consequence of psychopathic, money grubbing megalomaniacs reasonably than the collective immaturity of human beings.

Although the movie absolutely was effectively-made and intriguing, this latter contention must be taken under consideration when watching propagandistic and thus inherently deceptive films of this form.

Conspiracy Theory (1997) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118883/

Jerry (Mel Gibson) is a quite paranoid, barely delusional, and slightly disturbed conspiracy theorist.

If not engaged in conspiratorial theories, he works as a taxi driver who seems to be continually on the sting, fueled, presumably, by ample doses of caffeine leaving him consistently rambling on about a whole host of conspiracy theories to his bewildered taxi fares who all give the viewer the distinct impression of simply desirous to be left alone.

His residing house is a littery mess, and the level of his paranoia is clearly demonstrated by his nutty behavior of placing locks on not solely his refrigerator however the meals containers stored in it as well (in spite of everything, if he's so involved about the prospect of being poisoned then what in regards to the cups he's utilizing to drink his espresso out of?).

This slightly blatant caricature of the conspiracy theorist (or researcher), an acting performance that admittedly perhaps can solely be completed by somebody of the caliber of Mel Gibson, units the freakish tone for your complete movie.

Viewers are thus left with the notion that basically conspiracy theorists are individuals routinely affected by varied expressions of psychopathology, particularly: hyperactivity, delusions and paranoia.

Therefore the film seems to sponsor a crucial body of reference which rejects anyone who chooses to scrutinize and subsequently criticize the society she or he lives in. True, the conspiracy theorist within the movie is of the sympathetic hero kind but his degree of craziness far outweigh his credibility as an astute critic of society, an interpretation that is all of the more evident when it's revealed that Jerry is the victim of a thoughts management program suffered earlier in life.

Thus the movie means that his thoughts is warped to start with and it is however to be expected that all sorts of psychological borderline-insane non-sense is churned out by it.

Therefore, through some conspiratorial watershed occasion, ought to conspiracy theories change into more prevalent sooner or later the general public is already being prepped to receive budding conspiracy theorists with ample doses of ridicule and contempt. Remember, this movie was made in 1997, i.e. Four years before 9-11 = the designated watershed occasion.

Even George W Bush emphasized "to not tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories" shortly after 9-11.

So, on the one hand, you've gotten the emergence of all sorts of conspiracy theories disseminated most considerably via the Internet and, then again, you might have movies such because the one discussed right here, seeking to condemn the budding conspiracy theorist by ridicule. As such, this film, though charming as it may be in some cinematographic respects, could also be interpreted as a de-facto psychological counterintelligence operation geared toward thwarting (budding) critics of society and government.

Towards the end of the movie the meat and potatoes of the theme of the movie is revealed. It's confirmed that sure indeed their was such a factor as a CIA Mind Control program ('MK-Ultra') but it surely was terminated already in 1973.

Then, what will grow to be the dangerous guy of the film ("Jonas"), continued its research independently from, the movie suggests, any government organizations. In fact, the expertise of MK-Ultra then was purportedly stolen and its thoughts control subjects had been deployed within the personal sector. This makes it look as if, sure the federal government was involved in Mind Control, but no they weren't liable for any ensuing acts of assassination.

Instead, the movie makes it look as though historic assassinations carried out by Mind Controlled "Manchurian Candidates" had been executed by renegade factions operating independently from the government, the latter which then consequently walks away from any blame.

By sticking to this theme, the place the unhealthy guys are invariably just a few radical renegade governmental offshoot, restricted in scope and authority, it appears by no means applicable or righteous to accuse government, or a governmental group, in its entirety. This theme can also be seen in effect within the Psyop works of Dan Brown together with his filmed e-book 'The DaVinci Code' and different movies akin to 'Shooter'.

Therefore the function of this film, with respect to programming, on the viewing viewers is twofold.

- First, it's to assist persuade the viewer to reject via ridicule and contempt, people engaged in critically reviewing society and authorities.

- And secondly, it is to help convince the viewer that if there is authorities involvement in criminal or unethical exercise it's always being perpetrated by small criminal break-away factions spun off from authorities relatively than intrinsic involvement by the federal government.

Let's now home in on the very idea of conspiracy idea.

A theorist is someone who engages in theories, or hypothesis, with respect to some arbitrary subject matter. However, a extra ambitious researcher would need to be in a position to check his or her idea or concept with some technique of verification or reality checking. Compared to science this might merely be the analogue of experiment or commentary.

Therefore, if a theory turns out to be not supported by the facts belonging to the case, it's in want of revision and afterwards again should be subjected to fact-checking and altered accordingly if need be. This means of refinement should continue until both principle and experiment are ideally most compatible with one another...

Therefore people who take their analysis a bit more critical and who sincerely attempt to have their theories conform to actuality as much as doable, would significantly better be called conspiracy scientists rather than be given the handicapped one-legged label of conspiracy theorist.

Returning to the movie, here comes the self-proclaimed conspiracy theorist Jerry who even quite frankly states within the movie that neither of his theories might be confirmed, arguing that an excellent conspiracy principle simply cannot be confirmed. As such, Jerry throws what little left of his personal credibility out of the window and thus leaving the viewer with the impression much more that people who interact in conspiracy theories, irrespective of how sympathetic its authors could also be, are in precise reality however mere fruit-loops, one way or one other.

Then there are some dialogues/passages that I assumed have been reasonably salient and deserved additional addressing:

"Jerry: They'll stick me in the same place as Oswald, just another lunatic performing alone. Alice: Oswald killed the President, is that what you are planning to do Jerry? Jerry: No, on the contrary."

This may be counted as a confirmation to the concept that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing John F. Kennedy, which is ironically and remarkably fairly not like what real life 'conspiracy theorists' consider by and large.

"Jerry: The Oliver Stone-Bush Connection. If anyone who has the data he is bought and had a national podium to shout it from, they really let him do it? No it is fairly clear that he is a disinformation junkie for them... The truth that he's still alive says it all. He probably should be lifeless but he isn't."

Well I agree that Stone is a disinfo agent but not according to the specifics given right here.

Stone made "JFK", a film that's justly important of the official "lone nutter" explanatory fairy tale. Indeed it stands to purpose to suspect that the powers that be never would allow a film to come out revealing the whole truth in regards to the Kennedy assassination, especially if it is produced by such a big movie-home as Warner Bros.

Since the individuals chargeable for the assassination are by no means revealed in the film it is truthful to assume that the maker of "JFK" is indeed in league with the same powers that were answerable for the assassination.

As researcher Eric Jon Phelps identified, the precise hand within the Kennedy assassination is hinted at when DA Jim Garrison utters the phrase "Black is white and white is black", a slogan Phelps maintains is listed in the e book of Spiritual Exercises belonging to apprentices of the Jesuit Order.

Indeed, since Kennedy refused to acknowledge the Pope's temporal power within the US he made himself a open goal for assassination by the Vatican to be executed under the auspices of its Praetorial Guard, the Jesuits. So I might agree with Jerry provided that the slogan "The Oliver Stone-Bush Connection" would be replaced by "The Oliver Stone-Vatican Connection".

That this may indeed give a extra accurate rendition of actuality is additional evidenced by the fact that Mel Gibson himself is very pleasant with the Jesuits and that the Gibsons since lengthy have had robust ties with Opus Dei.

"Lone gunman assassins have three names. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Mark David Chapman."

Although it is true that the total names given here comprise three names, the truth-content of the assertion as a whole is in severe doubt.

Personally, I think the case of the lone gunman assassin is very weak in comparison with a conspiratorial interpretation in all three case alluded to. However, to slide a semi-fact right into a sentence like this tends to make it look as if the entire sentence is true to a gullible viewer. As such, ironically a way is laid to bear aiming at deceptively making an attempt to dissuade the viewer precisely from searching for refuge to conspiracy theories since, by construction, 'lone gunman theories' refute the need for appealing to conspiratorial accounts to explain away the transpired occasions.

To recap, as ironic as it could seem I maintain that this film needs to, no less than, be frowned upon by 'conspiracy theorists' and the like, reasonably than being obtained with open arms.

In other phrases, this shouldn't be one in all your banner films folks....

Code-forty six (2003) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0345061/

Definition:

Article 1 Any human being who shares the same nuclear gene set as another human being is deemed to be genetically similar. The relations of 1 are the relations of all.

Resulting from IVF, ID embryo splitting and cloning techniques it is important to stop any unintended or deliberate genetically incestuous reproduction.

Therefore:

1. All potential parents should be genetically screened before conception. If they have 100%, 50% or 25% genetic identification they don't seem to be permitted to conceive

2. If the pregnancy is unplanned, the fetus must be screened. Any pregnancy ensuing from 100%, 50% or 25% genetically related parents must be terminated immediately

3. If the mother and father were ignorant of their genetic relationship then medical intervention is authorized to prevent any further breach of Code-forty six

4. If the parents knew they have been genetically associated prior to conception it's a criminal breach of Code-46.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_46

Next are two reviews that pretty much reveal the themes embodied in the movie. I've excessive-lighted, by boldfacing, the parts I thought-about related to a predictive programming oriented discussion.

At the top of each excessive-lighted segment is connected a footnote quantity referring to an growth written below the two following reviews.

Quote: Code-forty six is a love story set in a Brave New World-kind close to-future the place cities are heavily controlled and solely accessible via checkpoints. People can not journey except they've "papelles," a special journey permit issued by the totalitarianistic authorities, the "Sphinx". Outside these cities, the desert has taken over and shanty towns are jammed with non-residents - folks without papelles forced to reside primitive lives.

William is a family man who works as a authorities investigator. When he is sent to Shanghai to solve a case of faux papelles, he meets a woman named Maria. Although he realizes she is behind the forgeries, he can't assist however fall completely in love with her. He hides her crime and they've a wild, passionate affair that can only final as long as his papelles: 24 hours.

Back home, William is obsessive about the memory of Maria.

When the original investigation is inevitably re-opened a week later and William is distributed again to complete the work he began, he tracks her down, solely to find she has been accused of a Code-forty six violation and any additional relationship is unimaginable.

Written by Anonymous

In a near future, in a world ruled by a totalitarian government, checking of the genetic code is necessary for any kind of potential relationship between man and woman.

The investigator from Seattle William (Tim Robbins) travels to Shanghai to investigate the faking and stealing of special Visas referred to as "papelles".

The principle suspect is Maria Gonzales (Samantha Morton), who works in the corporate Sphinx, but William falls in love for her and protects her. They've a passionate one night stand, and sooner they discover that they are genetically incompatible to each other and they've violated the Code-46.

Quote: It is the not-too-distant future, in a world which seems to undergo from overpopulation and large scale environmental degradation. The population is divided between those that live "inside", in excessive density cities physically separated from "outside", where a poor under-courses lives.

Access into and journey between the cities is highly restricted, and regulated by the usage of health cover paperwork, generally known as "papelles" in the global pidgin language of the day. This includes parts of English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Italian, Urdu and Mandarin.

Residents of the cities enterprise outdoors at night time and stay indoors during the day, as direct sunlight has change into hazardous to their well being, maybe by ozone depletion. The type of government seems to be somewhat authoritarian in nature, and society is regulated by varied "codes". The eponymous code of the film title prohibits "genetically incestuous reproduction", which can happen on account of the various medical applied sciences which have become commonplace, similar to cloning.

The main character is William Geld (Tim Robbins), an insurance coverage fraud investigator based in Seattle who is distributed to Shanghai to interview staff at an organization often known as "The Sphinx", which manufacturers insurance coverage cover documents. William's project is to determine staff who are suspected of forging and smuggling covers.

After interviewing numerous Sphinx employees, he identifies a younger worker named Maria Gonzalez (Samantha Morton) as the cowl forger.

He's in a position to do this by the use of a genetically engineered "empathy virus" which permits him to obtain unstated data from folks if they voluntarily reveal one thing about themselves.

Maria tells William that she has the same dream every birthday: she is traveling the subway to meet someone she can not establish. Each birthday she is one station nearer to her destination, where she expects to meet the particular person she is searching for. William is captivated by her, and as an alternative of turning her over to security, identifies one other employee as the forger.

William then follows Maria and they meet and start an affair. They have dinner, then go to a nightclub. Putting full belief in a man who might have had her arrested, Maria reveals how she was in a position to smuggle papelles out of her workplace. In the membership they meet Damian (David Fahm), a naturalist who longs to journey to Delhi to review bats.

He has utilized for cowl for eight consecutive years but has been refused each time. Maria supplies Damian with a papelle. William is upset by this and indicates that he ought to flip Maria over to the authorities, however Maria in some way knows that William would not do that. William explains that there are respectable the explanation why Damian is unable to obtain the right clearances legally.

However, Maria believes that some risks are value taking to satisfy one's desires and that nobody has any right to interfere if these she helps are keen to take that danger.

William and Maria then go away for her condominium the place they spend a passionate night together. While there Maria reveals William her "memory scrapbook" (an electronic booklet that data and shows video from the consumer's mind), which incorporates reminiscences of her dad and mom and shut buddies.

Other motion pictures show her passing off papelles to various people. Maria says she thinks these people are lovely and that their eyes are stuffed with want and desires, and she wants to help them. As Maria sleeps, William finds a forged cowl in her room and takes it.

William's travel cover will expire the following day so he returns house to his household. On the way to the airport, he stops to give the cast cover document to a poor street vendor at town's perimeter checkpoint, an act of humanity which might change the anonymous vendor's life.

A number of days later he learns that Damian died in Delhi after exposure to a virus to which he had no immunity, and it is understood that Damian was able to travel there using a cast cover made whereas William was in Shanghai. William is reprimanded by his superior for not discovering the true Sphinx forger. He explains that he had bother along with his empathy virus and requests that another person be sent. However, he is ordered to deal with the problem and to return to Shanghai to finish his project.

Upon his return William discovers that Maria has gone. Her condominium is abandoned and the one clue to her whereabouts is an appointment scheduled at a medical clinic.

He visits the clinic and utilizing his empathic skills learns that Maria was pregnant, but that the pregnancy was terminated as a result of a violation of Code-46. William knows that this means Maria is in some way genetically associated to him, but he has no concept how this is feasible.

William discovers that Maria has been taken to another institution to have her memory of the episode erased. He travels there and talks to Maria, but finds her memory of him has been erased and she no longer is aware of him. He succeeds in getting the clinic to release Maria into his care by telling them she is a witness in his fraud investigation.

After she is launched William proves to Maria that she is aware of him by his intimate information of her and by showing her her memory recording of when she gave Damian the papelle, which includes a shot of William. Williams tells her concerning the memory erasure, however denies knowing why it was executed. He also tells her about how he did not report her for fraud.

Maria is disturbed by this info and becomes very distressed. William gives her a sleeping pill and while she is sleeping, he cuts some hair from Maria's head and takes it to a facility which gives instantaneous DNA analysis (similar to the one portrayed in Gattaca), and discovers that Maria is fifty % genetically associated to him, and that she is a biological clone of his mother, who was considered one of a set of twenty 4 in-vitro fertilized clones.

This data doesn't have an effect on William's feelings, but as a substitute of going back to Maria he freaks out and decides to go dwelling to his household. However when he tries to depart he is not allowed to do in order his cover is now expired.

William then realizes that his only hope of returning home is to get a papelle from Maria. He returns to Maria's condominium and tells her about his inability to depart and she agrees to assist him. She tells him she should acquire a papelle and that she is going to meet him on the airport later. She goes to work and obtains a papelle.

While taking a train to fulfill William she remembers her birthday dream, and that he was the person she is looking for within the dream, and she remembers her feelings for him. She meets William and offers him the papelle after which tells him she remembers him. He decides not to depart her.

William and Maria then travel to Jebel Ali in the Middle East, which doesn't require special journey clearance. The two disguise out within the old city the place they guide a room.

Here William reveals to Maria that as properly as the memory wiping she has been given a virus that induces a terrorizing adrenaline rush in response to bodily contact with the one who introduced in regards to the Code-forty six violation. However, Maria nonetheless desires to make love with William and so he ties her down to forestall her from fleeing as soon as the adrenaline rush kicks in.

Afterward, Maria enters a somnambulistic state also brought on by the virus which forces her to report the further Code-forty six violation to the authorities. She is unconscious of this although William is aware of the virus's reaction. They then rent an outdated car and journey away to flee the authorities who are tracking them. William crashes the automotive whereas avoiding a collision with pedestrians and they are both knocked unconscious.

When William awakes he finds himself in Seattle along with his wife and youngster. He has no memory of Maria or the Code-46 violation, as all reminiscences of her and their time collectively have been completely flushed from his mind. The authorities had brought William before a tribunal, but determined the empathy virus had affected his judgment. He attempts to make use of the empathy virus to read his son's thoughts on the drive again from the hospital, K2sxxx but is unable to.

Maria is more severely punished by having her memories of William loving her un-erased, primarily pressured to recollect him and exiled to the place she hated essentially the most, the desert. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_forty six

The viewer is confronted with the next elements of predictive programming:

1. Overpopulation is a given. Cities are cordoned off and inaccessible without particular journey permits, known as "Papelles" implemented by thumb or finger scanning. The viewer is made conscious of a futuristic prospect of over-population and authorities control exercised by stringent journey restrictions.

2. Code-46: Compelling laws are put in impact concerning reproduction. The pure method to conceive youngsters has taken a backseat and "in-vitro" ("take a look at tubes") ways of conception seem to have gained prominence, while reproduction is subjected to restrictive legal guidelines. The viewer is made conscious to the concept that the federal government will have extra say in the specificity of the kids you may wish to have than Mother Nature.

3. There seems to be one world language spoken, a mixture of several extensively spoken languages however predominantly consisting of English, and containing traces of Spanish and French. The emphasis of the presence of a global language seems to familiarize the viewer with the idea of globalization and unification a bit further.

4. The daylight seems have a toxic affect on the wellbeing of people, in distinction with the darkness of the night which is bearable for humans. This theme seems to paint a state of affairs in which the world has fallen sufferer to its own pollution. A fashionable however no method scientifically endorsed cause for international pollution is humanly induced CO2 emission.

The viewer might really feel a certain sense of commitment to help cut back world pollution by accepting duty in contributing in direction of lessening CO2 emissions. As such, this theme is very appropriate with the entire Global Warming fable and welcomes the much touted but phony CO2 emission discouragement swindle dressed up as a remedy, referred to as Carbon Tax.

5. Viral-based expertise abounds. The society of the future seems to characteristic a versatile virus-mediated technology able to manipulating (enhancing or proscribing) the host of a virus in a number of the way:

1. "Empathy viruses" function to obtain unstated data from folks if they voluntarily reveal one thing about themselves to the carrier of this virus.

2. Unauthorized visits to sure cities may be met with loss of life if no prior immunity for regionally prevalent viruses has been obtained.

3. A virus is given to Code-46 violators, which is answerable for inflicting violent adrenaline reactions in case recidivism ought to occur between two Code-forty six violators.

Memory retention may be manipulated by undisclosed neurological/ neurosurgical know-how. That's, reminiscence a person has of a selected event can either be wiped or, in the event that they were wiped earlier than, can be restored once more.

This means that the strategy of the erasure of a reminiscence truly consists of a reversible suspension of aware entry to that reminiscence.

The film additionally alludes to a know-how that permits retrieval of recollections and place them into electronic storage gadgets.

At some stage there is a lady revealing to the main character that she belongs to a religion she refers to as "Christian Science."

Perhaps that is to make the viewer aware of any possible profound future merger between science and Christianity. Given its relatively "progressive" tendencies these days, this may be the choice future garb the Roman Catholic Church may need to cloak itself in.

Equilibrium (2003) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238380/

This film features some attention-grabbing themes and symbology aside from the predictive programming kind, so pardon me if I dwell a bit on particulars and go off on tangents a bit greater than I do often.

Overview Following an apocalyptic Third World War, the strict authorities of the town-state Libria has eliminated warfare by suppressing all human emotion. Within the monochromatic and sedated society, artifacts from the outdated world (works of art and music that may evoke some emotion) are destroyed and the population is required to take emotion sedatives.

Grammaton Cleric Preston (Bale), a man educated to locate and arrest those responsible of feeling emotions, finds himself abandoning the drug and experiencing outlawed emotions.

As he struggles to conceal his feelings from his superiors, colleagues, and family, Preston finds himself drawn right into a sinister world of double-crossings and lies, and turns into an unwitting pawn in a sophisticated plot which ultimately changes the repressed society ceaselessly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrium_(movie)

Let me first begin off with pinpointing the obvious predictive programming themes:

This film provides an ominous look into a moderately chilly Brave-New-World futuristic sort of society, through which Huxley's premonition of a society during which its inhabitants are (voluntarily?) sedated by happiness pills, to combat states of depression, anxiety, sorrow and all the rest of it... has now been changed by the actualization of a society wherein its members are mandated to self-administer a medication that radically suppresses emotions altogether.

It so occurs that the leaders of society have determined, little doubt after a profound deliberation (sarcastic joke), that, based on the presumption that unchecked human emotions are the main trigger of all the misery on the planet on the whole, and struggle in particular, it was simply the neatest thing to do to altogether eradicate the full scope of human emotions.

Never mind that vital and intrinsically benign and nurturing feelings similar to sensations of ache, love and compassion, are additionally flushed down the drain.

And by no means thoughts that certainly feelings are of essential significance in the basic act of determination-making, so that essentially everyone with one iota of responsibility simply cannot do with out emotions and emotions. Therefore, a minimum of these who have leadership obligations should nonetheless be able to feel to avoid persistent states of frustration regarding choice-making.

As it turns out, this is certainly the case as the society's leader confesses at the tip of the film that he still is ready to really feel:

To implement such an abhorrently dystopian society to perform, an enormous Brother-like Police State is established, through which human emotions are outlawed and suppressed. B

ehavior gets to be dominated by motive, solely.

Police officers are typically dressed out in black Gestapo-like uniforms with long overcoats and sporting bike helmets that serve to not solely protect the top however to also obfuscate the officers' identities.

Through making the police more anonymous an prompt distance is created between them and common citizens, especially the thought-about enemies of the state, who're simply: people who are still capable of feel: so-referred to as "Sense Offenders."

Compare the police of yesteryear with the police of in the present day, especially within the US, to acknowledge the (predictive programming) theme of the militarization of the police already is coming to fruition.

To drastically implement preventing people from having emotions a drug is created known as Prozium, which needs to be administered several times a day via automated inoculations.

All civilians are mandated to take this primarily zombifying drug. As such, a pale and robotic form of society emerges out of the ashes of the devastation brought on by a cataclysmic nuclear WWIII. Regarding programming this film just isn't the best option to attempt to peddle any government intentions of mandatory public drug use, however nonetheless we're being ready nonetheless.

Also notice that the film allows for the possibility that the leadership does not require to take sense-numbing medicine.

Let's now concentrate on somewhat less obvious predictive programming elements. First off, it is not too arduous to detect similarities between the society painted in Equilibrium and former Nazi Germany.

In truth, the reigning flag of Libria as an example options nothing in need of a Teutonic Cross:

Examples of real Teutonic Crosses:

http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/enigma_of_freemasonry/textual content.htm

http://www.bradford.ac.uk/webofhiram/?sect...grandingen.html

http://karenswhimsy.com/masonic-symbols.shtm ("Ordo Ab Chao - Deus meumque Jus" means "Order out of Chaos - God's morality is my Right" ;

this and the previous image clearly show a connection between the Teutonic Cross and Freemasonry.

One would possibly speculate if there is maybe a Freemasonic influence behind the production of this film.

In any case, a theme of the film is the emergence of a brand new society

constructed on the ashes of the old, like the masonic Phoenix Rising from the Ashes.)

A banner-flag that includes the Teutonic Cross suggests rule by the Teutonic Order.

So who're the Teutonic Knights?

The Teutonic Order is a German Roman Catholic religious order. Its members have commonly been identified as the Teutonic Knights, because it was a crusading military order in the course of the Middle Ages and far of the fashionable period.

In 1143 Pope Celestine II ordered the Knights Hospitaller to take over administration of a German Hospital in Jerusalem, which, in response to the chronicler Jean d’Ypres, accommodated the countless German pilgrims and crusaders who may neither converse the native tongue (i.e. French) nor Latin (patrie linguam ignorantibus atque Latinam).

However, although formally an establishment of the Hospitallers, the pope commanded that the prior and the brothers of the domus Teutonicorum (home of the Germans) should all the time be Germans themselves, so a tradition of a German-led religious establishment could develop throughout the twelfth century in Palestine.

Modern Teutonic Order The Order continued to exist in Austria, out of Napoleon's attain. Beginning in 1804 it was headed by members of the Habsburg dynasty until the 1923 resignation of the Grand Master, Archduke Eugen of Austria.

In 1929 the Teutonic Knights have been transformed to a purely spiritual Roman Catholic religious order and were renamed Deutscher Orden ("German Order"). After Austria's annexation by Nazi Germany, the Teutonic Order was suppressed all through the Großdeutsches Reich from 1938-1945, though the Nazis used imagery of the medieval Teutonic Knights for propaganda purposes. The Order survived in Italy, however, and was reconstituted in Germany and Austria in 1945.

By the tip of the nineties, the Order had developed into a charitable group and integrated numerous clinics. It sponsors excavation and tourism projects in Israel and the Palestinian territories. In 2000 the German chapter of the Teutonic Order declared insolvency, and its higher administration was dismissed.

A 2002-03 investigation by a particular committee of the Bavarian parliament was inconclusive.

Influence on German nationalism German nationalism usually invoked the imagery of the Teutonic Knights, particularly within the context of territorial conquest from jap neighbors of Germany and conflict with nations of Slavic origins, who have been thought of by German nationalists to be of lower growth and of inferior tradition.

The German historian Heinrich von Treitschke used imagery of the Teutonic Knights to advertise professional-German and anti-Polish rhetoric. Such imagery and symbols were adopted by many center-class Germans who supported German nationalism. Through the Weimar Republic, associations and organizations of this nature contributed to laying the groundwork for the formation of Nazi Germany.

Emperor William II of Germany posed for a photograph in 1902 in the garb of a monk from the Teutonic Order, climbing up the steps in the reconstructed Marienburg Castle as a symbol of the German Empire's policy. During World War II, Nazi propaganda and ideology made frequent use of the Teutonic Knights' imagery, because the Nazis sought to depict the Knights' actions as a forerunner of the Nazi conquests for Lebensraum.

Heinrich Himmler tried to idealize the SS as a twentieth century incarnation of the medieval knights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teutonic_Knights

Hence, because the Nazis and the Teutonic Knights went hand in hand, it may be safely assumed that Libria essentially is ruled by Nazism.

Nearly as good hospital-working Teutonic Knights do, Libria's management approaches the problems of society as a medical downside, which, based on good allopathic (German) tradition enthuses over remedy with pharmaceuticals, applied within the characteristic brute power style.

The rationale being that since no success has been obtained in controlling unchecked human emotion (considered the root of all the world's problems) using non-invasive means, it's decided best to easily chemically anesthetize feelings altogether; indeed a very radically intolerant and invasive approach that is most compatible with Nazi ethics.

Of course the film by no means even remotely addresses the idea that the prevalence of war mainly has extra to do with sinister shadow politics engaged between filthy wealthy and megalomaniacal men than it has to do with the emotional incontinence of the peculiar masses. The viewing crowd is lured into believing that the phenomenon of struggle is basically the fault of Joe Six-pack and Jane Soap-opera.

Anyway, there are even more profound parallels to be discovered between Libria and the Catholic Church, no less. The truth that the Teutonic Knights formed/kind a Roman Catholic Order, ultimately serving the Pope in Rome, is the first piece of evidence.

The civil servants tasked with searching down "sense offenders" (word the phonetic similarity with "sex offenders", BTW) are referred to as clerics, or members of the clergy:

the generic time period used to describe the formal religious management within a given religion.

Actually the complete title is Tetragrammaton Cleric, where the Greek phrase Tetragrammaton (TG) signifies the "4 letters" of the name of the God of Israel: YHWH.

For an elaborate account, exhibiting additionally the connection between the TG and the Nazi Swastika, see "Tetragrammaton, Lauburu, Crux Gammata - YHWH, Yahweh, Adonai."

Thus another, although extra implicit, hyperlink between the TG clergy and Nazism is laid to naked.

In addition, the top of state is referred to as Father so as to signify the clerical head. Within the Roman Catholic Church the Pope can also be referred to as the Holy Father.

So those are pretty clear additional hints.

Later within the film a scene is proven in which a "Sense Offender" is burned alive in a furnace much like the heretics of old have been burned alive on the stake within the vain hope of "purifying the soul with flames".

This was an all too widespread happening in the course of the instances of the Spanish Inquisition which, by the best way, was administered by the Roman Catholic Dominican Order as nicely because the Jesuit Order.

As well as, the scene can be harking back to the existence of disposal furnaces current in Nazi Germany, which functioned to eliminate corpses of persecuted political dissidents and so deemed racial adversaries. As an aside, the word Holocaust derives from Greek and means Sacrificial Burnt Offering.

Now check out the type of clothes the clerics are dressed in:

...and examine this to the standard Jesuit cassock:

To make it actually apparent, in a single specific scene there's even a civil servant dressed up remarkably similar to a real Roman Catholic cleric (notice the characteristic clerical collar):

Only a blind individual may now probably still deny the parallels between the leadership showcased within the movie and the Roman Catholic clergy.

This revelation comes as little surprise since it has been fairly clearly demonstrated, by quite a few noteworthy different historians comparable to Eric Jon Phelps and Thomas Richards, that indeed the conception of Nazism in addition to its operation was vastly facilitated by the Roman Catholic Church itself. Internet references abound to show the cooperation between the two.

First one may study of the establishing of a Reichskonkordat between the Vatican and Nazi Germany.

NB: A concordat is a legally binding mutually useful settlement between some governing physique and the Papacy.

A modest grasp detailing this remarkably paradoxical unholy alliance can be obtained right here: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]

To additional disclose the connection between Nazism and the Vatican there is the still ongoing class-motion lawsuit with the plaintiffs being the survivors of a WWII era Croatian genocide suing the Vatican Bank (IOR). It's remarkable, to say the least, that the Vatican admitted wrongdoing however it claimed it was justified beneath international legislation.

It's subsequently hardly a stretch to name Nazism a Catholic invention, or not less than a profoundly backed enterprise, and many of its leaders have been, in truth, of Catholic nomination, together with Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Von Papen, Bormann and so on. [7]

It was Hitler as an illustration, who called Himmler his Ignatius of Loyola and confessed that he "had realized much from the Jesuits", whereas the SS was even patterned after the Jesuit Order. [8], [9], [10]

So to recap, here we have now a movie that drew its inspiration heavily from Roman Catholic Nazi Germany and modeled its leadership themes in line with specific Catholic Orders (Jesuits and Teutonic Knights), a lot because it occurred in actual life history also.

It is remarkable however to realize that the hypocritical management in the film is overtly anti-Nazi, if solely by mere principle of condemning conflict generally:

It nonetheless is simply as Nazi-like in character and apply as the unique was, except for the externally directed battle-searching for part though.

Thus, in essence, nothing has modified: Nazism still rules the world (however the herds are sadly too sedated and too disengaged to notice, also very similar to the actual life state of affairs immediately).

I hesitate to name this programming as it seems also a bit of an act of whistleblowing to me too. If it can be rightfully referred to as programming, then I believe it is to inform the general public that nothing will change sooner or later, we'll still be governed by Nazism, no matter what.

The parallels between Libria's authorities and,

1. Nazism and,

2. Roman Catholicism,

...are so overwhelming and blatant that it puzzles me, fairly frankly.

In spite of everything, would the Roman Church really welcome the discharge of films that broaden on the traditionally documented indisputable fact that Nazism and the Vatican had been fortunately wedded together at some stage in history?

It almost appears that that is certainly the intent of the movie; to instill, maybe on a subconscious degree, a deep fear, hatred and/or disgust for the Catholic Church. After all, wasn't it Machiavelli who said that to rule by fear is much better than to rule via love?

Perhaps more programming can be gleaned from the nature of the conclusion of the film.

To save lots of society from the horrible clutches of absolute and soul-numbing tyranny, the main cleric fortunately comes to his senses (thank golly) and decides to change sides and be a part of the network of Sense Offenders so as to in the end achieve killing the Nazi clerical leader (Father).

The steered programming appears that it doesn't actually matter if Nazism nonetheless guidelines today, some day, sooner fairly than later, a savior will emerge, ship us from evil and we all live happily ever after. So the viewer could just as effectively happily sit back, chill out, do nothing and just benefit from the present!
