Alex Jones is a thief and he is trying to infiltrate, all or as many websites and conspiracy forums as he can in order to build up his follower base.
Perhaps you intended to leave this post in a more pertinent thread; nevertheless, I will offer my perspective: Given that most of us reach both September Clues and Clues Forum as a result of either disassembling the so-called "truth movement" via our own research or simply using our common sense, I would say that Alex Jones is no threat to this website.
---------------------------------


Now---to get back on topic---today, I was shown a trailer for the upcoming film, "The Purge". While I found the concept to be somewhat cute in a Heinlein-ian sort of way, I was additionally struck by the boldness of the implications of the narrative.

To understand what I mean, I invite you to take a moment to absorb this filth:

Upon first thought, most reasonably intelligent people would infer that this premise is little more than the sociological musings of a cynic; however, I would like to propose an idea with which the Clues Forum readership is all too familiar: blatant predictive programming.

The trailer invites us into a pseudo-utopian imagining of our current society, fortunately bereft of the manufactured woes which plague us day to day: acconamee! tayerism! nooks!

How has this semi-fictional society managed to rid itself of the many scourges upon its well-being? A mandated bout of temporary chaos (Order Ab Chao, anyone?). This reminds me very much of the second and third acts of The Dark Knight Rises, within which the "power" was given to "the people" such that they may be able to take control of their own land; yet, when the reality of such a situation sinks in, the faith of the people is placed in a man/idea which lives almost entirely above the law, all in the name of justice.

As is illustrated in both films, the absolute terror of "lawlessness" (even for one night, annually)[re The Purge] is a necessary aspect of the transition into a true state of "peace" and harmony.

I posit that this is but another Hegelian dialectic (probably targeting the US, specifically) which retains the sole purpose of adding another layer onto the idea that a de facto government is necessary for mankind's collective mind to be freed from fear.

To me, this trailer alone depicts two separate possibilities:

1.) We are going to start getting hammered with PsyOps which ramp up cultural, racial, religious, financial and political tensions via extremely dark and direct propaganda/fear mongering, until the chaos (or "chaos") is such that humanity begs for their pre-rendered solution (totalitarianism?).

or,

2.) The film itself (and many similar ones to come) is the PsyOp.

Things to expect:

1.) Live stream of the film to the "ISS crew" and post-screening interview with the actornauts to discuss the film's ability to use "realism" to illustrate the very real dangers of space.

2.) Discovery/National Geographic "Making Of" propaganda (airing two to three weeks prior to opening night) in which many pseudo-scientific talking points can be inserted to appease the NASA fanboys and apologists; bonus addition of rehashing Curiosity and SpaceX psychic driving.

3.) A possible boost in the quality of upcoming NASA fakery to maintain that Hollywood could never capture the reality that NASA does.

Those video clips always make the 17,00mph stated velocity of the ISS seem so floaty and slow. Everything is always perfectly in sync in orbit and objects dropping in and out of radius of the flight path are always adjusting their speeds accordingly.

I am still trying to wrap my head around how the atmosphere stays in sync with the earth at these speeds and is so well contained that clouds can float lazily on drafts. I have yet to see an explanation that I understand.

Duh! They did that stuff better (and funnier) over 45 years ago - with stars and all! :P

Interesting how 3 seconds of digging brings up the fact that the director Alfonso Cuarón also made a 2007 short documentary based on the fascinating gatekeeping work of Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine. Regardless of her expose of government ties to corporations the book is also chock full of liberal forgiveness of very clear cause to investigate illegal conspiracy, and it endorses official stories of "the menace of terrorism".

Whether you have to take the position that it's a coincidence, an unimportant relationship or that Cuarón is attempting to craft his public persona a certain way by making such an endorsement of Klein, Klein's disingenuous intent implicates Alfonso Cuarón as an easily led puppet director for official narratives.

Now please, at this point — anyone who wants to make the claim that Hollywood isn't cajoled as a whole (due to a closely-knit incestuous and self-congratulating, self-overlooking culture of the directors, producers and actors) to fit official government stances on everything can rightfully be called naive.

The writers and scripters and directors trade their souls for fame.

Earth does not move nor spin. Atmosphere is mobilized by the aether.

Uh oh... I have already heard of a couple of people buying this one claiming either "They had no idea that mermaids were actually real" or "What else is the government not telling us?..." type of responses to this recent show.
What if there’s a kernel of truth that lives beneath the legend of the mythic mermaid? In Mermaids: the Body Found, Animal Planet brings viewers into the world where the legend is real. The film blends real-life events and phenomena with the story of two scientists who testify they found the remains of a never-before-identified sea creature. Spectacular CGI animates a world where mermaids really do swim below the water’s surface, cooperatively hunt with dolphins and may continue to survive in an intricate society where they stay hidden in fear of their Earth-bound relatives.

Mermaids: The Body Found is a story about evolutionary possibility grounded in a radical scientific theory – the Aquatic Ape Theory, which claims that humans had an aquatic stage in our evolutionary past. While coastal flooding millions of years ago turned some of our ancestors inland, is it possible that one group of our ancestors didn’t retreat from water but rather went in deeper? Could they have ventured farther into sea out of necessity and to find food?

With compiled amateur footage, including photos and video shot by deep-sea fishermen that never have been shown in the US, as well as cinema-quality CGI, Mermaids: The Body Found argues how a mythical creature – one of humankind’s most enduring legends – may be real. It depicts how mermaids may have evolved from the early human family tree and persisted into the present day.

Edit: Evidently this show has already previously outed itself when originally shown -- more 'self-policing' in action, no doubt :rolleyes: . Cool... some more decent quality fake videos to show to the non-believers of media fakery crowd as to how easy it is to be deceived.
Last night they showed the original show plus a new one hour special. This one hour show was called "Mermaids: The New Evidence." If you don't realize what you are watching, it looks just like a documentary. It talks about evidence that was found to prove that mermaids are real. Everyone on Twitter was talking about it and thought they had found proof.

The thing is that this is just a fake show. The original show was later explained as a hoax that was just science fiction based on theory.

^ I wonder how many Americans still care enough about their gubment to think a movie like this would be considered a "thriller" rather than a comedy.

:D No doubt. I was thinking about the "super heroes" for some reason today as well. What a coincidence that Spiderman's Peter Parker is a photographer for his "newspaper" and Superman's Clark Kent a reporter for his. Man... the conditioning we Americans, and likely the rest of the world have been subjected to. :puke:

I wonder if any of Dcopymope's entries above even ask that question. My guess... likely not.

Here's a good clip to watch. I am not promoting George Carlin at all, but the shit he talked about is likely most here can agree with. Perhaps, he is the original softening point of ' Why in the hell couldn't I see it before..?'
