A brief overview, taken from one of my previous writings, so that the reader can better understand what I’m talking about with the movies in this particular section: The premise of government/occult based mind control is to compartmentalize the brain, and then use techniques to access the different sections of the brain while the subject is hypnotized. Entire systems can be embedded into a person’s mind, each with its own theme, access codes and trigger words. Some of the most common and popular symbolisms and themes in use are Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and The Wizard of Oz, mirrors, porcelain/harlequin masks, rainbows, butterflies, owls, keys, carousels, willow trees, tornados, spirals/helixes, castles, rings, hallways and doors, elevators and stairs. (The halls, doors, elevators and stairs represent accessing compartments in the mind.) Numbers, colors and music are also heavily used for additional programming and accessing specific compartments of the brain, and are just as important. In some of the movies I look at in this section, we’ll find ample use of several of the above-mentioned symbolisms.

Programming centers around the concept of inverted reality and illusion, where nothing is at it appears to be, where up is down, in is out, black is white, pain is pleasure, and reality and dreams are blurred. Word play and puns also factor in heavily, as they engage areas of the brain that are used during programming.

A mind splitting into alternate personas usually occurs when the victim is subjected to repetitive abuse and horrors it can’t cope with. The mind fractures into compartments designed to “house” the traumas that the main personality can’t handle. These alternate personas can be brought to the forefront of the mind when needed to take on whatever trauma is happening. The abuse can happen to a person (usually child) in the every day real world, (usually at the hands of abusive parents and caretakers). However, a naturally fractured mind can be a very messy thing, especially when it occurs as an inadvertent coping reflex. There’s no “organization” behind it, and the person will usually have a hefty dose of mental issues to go along with it, preventing them from being a fully functioning member of society. They’re unpredictable, and the mind is a mess.

On the other hand, there are certain “Powers That Be” who have perfected the technique of artificially splitting and programming people’s minds through the use of technology, drugs, hypnosis, and electroshock. In this case, the targets are abduction victims, military personnel used for experimentation, society’s throw away kids plucked from jails and detention centers, Hollyweird performers, etc., among the various people and groups used. A mind that has been split through organized, purposeful means by those with the skills is one that is “neat and tidy.” In these cases, the artificially split mind is run exactly like a computer program, complete with its own theme and trigger codes and access words. It can be turned on and off like a switch, and the programmer/handler has complete control over what the system themes and trigger words will be. The alternate persona won’t emerge unless the trigger word/song/phrase is given. The victim is fully functional in society and won’t even know they have this aspect of themselves buried within their subconscious. For all intents and purposes, they are the perfect agent. There’s little, if any, messy psychological issues to throw a wrench in the works, and minimal chance of the alternate being triggered and activated when it’s not needed.

In these artificially created/black ops mind control cases, victims are used for various purposes. Sexual slaves, assassins/“agent provocateurs”, controlled performers for $$$ making, and so on. It’s been said that many, many of the actors, actresses, models and pop singers that you see strutting about in Hollyweird are actually programmed multiple victims with controlling handlers. After I learned this, I started paying closer attention to the behavior the stars and starlets and singers that are paraded in front of us. And damn if it didn’t seem to be true…once you know what to look for. And the clues can be found in music and movies as well.

New Add on – I’ve come to realize lately that with regards to the many “mind control symbolisms” outlined in the following movies, often times, there’s another layer or meaning to it. It’s not “just” about mind control programming and triggers; it’s also about relaying archetypes and higher level, 4th density concepts, of both an STO and STS nature. We just watched two movies within the past few day: “The Game” on DVD, and “V For Vendetta” in the theater, and it was these two movies specifically that made me (and my boyfriend, who runs his own website for all things metaphysics and conspiracy) realize this idea. We bounced ideas off each other and came to realize that in order for movies with higher level, meaningful esoteric concepts to be “allowed” out there, it’s almost as if they need to be intertwined around “negative” STS concepts and even those pesky “mind control symbolisms and triggers.” This seems to be the case with the Matrix trilogy for instance. Many people out there who are clued in to things easily picked out the mind control themes and symbols embedded throughout The Matrix, yet, there’s no denying the higher esoteric, 4th density level concepts interlaced amongst them. It’s a bit confusing, but it seems maybe that’s the way it has to be, in order to be “allowed.” The Matrix was released in theaters on March 31, 1999 – and watching the scene where Neo and Trinity show up, all black leather, vinyl and trench coats, wearing sunglasses, loaded down with weapons, shooting everything up – with the realization that the Columbine Highschool massacre occured three weeks later – you of course have to wonder. Did it act as a trigger of sorts? Seems to me it’s highly possible. A movie alone can’t “make” somebody do something – we’re all responsible for our own actions, after all. But if somebody comes from a military family near Denver, Colorado, the conspiracy capital of the U.S. ;) (which most likely translates to being instilled with mind control programming via the black ops projects) and is on psych drugs to boot, which is the case with the Columbine shooters, then yes, it’s very likely that the movie helped to trigger and encourage their latent programming. “Bad” symbolisms offsetting the “good.” Keeps things “balanced”, makes it so these movies will be allowed.

In the case of “The Game”, there was a high emphasis on “the eternal question,” and “what it is” – same as in The Matrix, a word for word quote even; There was an emphasis on keeping your eyes open and “looking for the key.” The Grail, the hero’s quest, journey; the soulless man, played by Michael Douglas, who learns how to connect with people again and to stop being such an asshole to everybody. All high level concepts…interlaced with all sorts of mind control symbolisms and triggers. Sometimes overlapping. Positive and negative, all mixed together, as we often find in these movies.

So, with that in mind…Being that there are scores of movies that involve mind control themes and symbolisms, I’ll just cover the big ones that I know of. Using this as a guide, along with the additional research materials I recommend afterwards, it should be enough so that the reader can begin deciphering other movies on their own.

Labyrinth – 1986. David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly.

 

I love this movie, I truly do, despite the fact that it’s one giant symbolic MK Ultra/Illuminati mind control trip from start to finish. Sarah (Connelly) is a bratty, spoiled teen lost in a child’s fantasy world of make believe, day dreaming her time away with her dolls and puppets and fairytales. While stuck babysitting once again for her little brother Toby, she impulsively wishes for the Goblin King (Bowie) to come and take him away. And much to her shock, he appears…and obliges, despite her change of heart and pleading protests. Now she must navigate her way through the mysterious Labyrinth, where nothing is at it seems to be, and get to the Goblin City to rescue Toby before time runs out.

The plot itself is another version of The Wizard of Oz – young girl sets out on an adventure to get to a particular destination (Goblin City = Emerald City) via the Labyrinth = Yellow Brick Road. And with the help of her ragtag group of misfit friends that she picks up along the way, she gets into adventures, navigates obstacles in her path, and learns important lessons about herself. And all the while, as the entire adventure is just a dream…or is it? On the DVD insert, it says, “Is it all a dream, like Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, or Dorothy’s in The Wizard of Oz? In my own mind it is. But it’s all rather ambiguous – dream or reality? Fantasy or fact?” Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz are two of the biggest mind control themes in use, interestingly enough, due to all their ready-made symbolisms, use of “inverted reality”, reality vs. dream and illusion, and word play. So I find it no coincidence that this movie cites both as being influences.

 

Key Elements

The White Owl – Known as Moloch in the Illuminati occult circles. Moloch is worshipped as a deity, and ritual sacrifices are done in its honor. The white owl of Moloch is also used in the rituals at Bohemian Grove, as documented by Alex Jones. www.infowars.com Owls are also linked to alien activity, symbolically representing the Grays. Many abductees will report having “dreams” with owls, which are actually screen memories of something else.

 

 

Jerreth, the Goblin King – Played by David Bowie. Jerreth stems from Jared, which is Hebrew for “descendent” (bloodline, descendent of the Gods when looked at in the context of his alter ego, the white owl Moloch.) The white owl morphs into Jerreth, who is the Goblin King, and who wields the intriguing ball that he twirls about on his hands. At one point Jerreth offers Sarah the ball in exchange for Toby, and when she refuses, it turns into a snake which he tosses at her. Snake – reptilians, tying back into Moloch and the Gods, as well as alien abductors/controllers. On a side note, a near identical image of Jerreth with the glass ball in his hands can be found in a picture drawn by Credo Mutwa, leader of the Zulu Nation. The picture depicts the Nordic alien “Gods” who supposedly visited the Zulu tribe eons ago; they were tall, blond, and blue eyed…and wielded a ball in their hands that was linked to them being able to appear and disappear…exactly as Bowie is depicted in the movie. There’s also another mention of something near-identical in the Dolores Cannon book, “The Legend of Starcrash” and the blond/silver haired, violet eyed aliens with their techno-gadget ball that manipulated reality.

Taking Toby – Not overlooking the obvious, the plot centers around the baby being stolen by the Illuminati-esque controller / white owl; could be representative of the baby/child victims who go missing every year via the supposed “illuminati” abductions to be used for a host of nefarious purposes, as well as childhood alien abductions.

Control over time – Jerreth is able to change the clock and control time in the Labyrinth, having the upper hand with Sara, as mind control handlers do with their real life victims. Hyperdimensional/alien controllers also have control of time, being that time doesn’t exist outside of 3rd density.

The Labyrinth – The labyrinth itself, with all its trickery and illusion, where everything keeps changing and nothing is at it appears to be, resembles the screwball world of the mind control victim’s mind, which has been split and shattered into multiple personalities and compartments.

• The “Oubliette” – “It’s a place you put people…to forget about them!” explains Hoggle. In the Labyrinth, Sarah falls down into a pit known as an oubliette, and it represents a compartment in the multiple’s mind created to house the ugly traumas they can’t deal with. To get out, Hoggle picks a door off the ground, props it up in the doorway, uses a key to open it one way revealing a junk closet, and then tries again the other way, correctly accessing the way out. All of which is representative of accessing certain compartmentalized areas of the mind with the “right” trigger.

• The warning rocks – At one point, Sarah and Hoggle encounter huge stones designed to issue warnings to “Stop! Turn back before it’s too late!’ and other such threats. These parallel the protective programs designed to keep out anybody trying to break through their programming.

• The two doors – Entering doors into other areas of the minds. The two doors argue back and forth using reverse logic to determine which one is really lying and which one is really telling the truth, in a fast paced, “up is down, yes is no” dialogue designed to confuse and befuddle. “One of us always tells the truth…and one of us always lies!” has a double meaning when you realize that programmed multiples often have a personalities which clash in that way.

The masquerade ball –  Porcelain mask/masquerade imagery is another important mind control theme, supposedly used in conjunction with Camelot/Shakespeare programming (and our heroine, Sarah, is lost in her own Camelot/fairytale* world, as mentioned) as well as mirrors, and both are featured in this scene. Sarah eats the poisoned peach, just as Dorothy smells the opiate poppies, and is momentarily sidetracked into a dream world masquerade ball. Sarah dances with Jerreth as a love song plays, sung by Bowie, implying a “romantic entanglement” with her controller – not unlike how things often go with real mind control victims and their handlers. The scene culminates with Sarah breaking the mirrored walls to get out.
 

 

 

The MC Escher stairs –  at the end of the movie, Sarah is trying in vain to get to Toby via the stairs that go every which way, straight out of an MC Escher drawing. MC Escher imagery is classic in mind control programming due to its heavy use of illusion.

 

 

The mirror – at the end of the movie, Hoggle and the rest of the creatures from the Labyrinth appear to Sarah in her bedroom mirror, then manifest for real in her room. More mirror symbolism. Alice through the Looking Glass, the dream world that can be accessed through the mirror. Mirrors are used in occultic/esoteric practices to act as portals into other realms.

[Thanks to the writing of Fritz Springmeier for supplying some of the symbolisms in Labyrinth noted here.]

“The Manchurian Candidate” – 2004. Denzel Washington, Liev Schreiber, Meryl Streep.

After giving a speech about his experiences in the Gulf War, military veteran Captain Ben Marco (Washington) is approached by a member of his former unit, Al Melvin, whom he hasn’t seen in years. Melvin asks him about his memories of the night that their unit was ambushed in the Iraq desert and the three days they went missing. It turns out that Melvin has been having dreams that starkly contrast to the mainstream version of events. He tries to share this with Ben, producing his notebook full of scribblings and disturbing drawings and images that show he’s just hanging on by a thread psychologically. Capt. Marco rejects him and advises him to seek help, but Capt. Marco hasn’t been doing too well himself – living alone, eating Raman soup every night, on meds and seeking psychological treatment from the military hospital. The only one from their former unit that seems to be doing well is Sergeant Raymond Shaw, now a Congressman, who has just been nominated as the VP running mate in the upcoming Presidential election. As Capt. Marco watches the election events unfold on t.v. mouthing word for word the same exact mantra about Raymond Shaw that his former unit members have to say: “Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most selfless man I’ve ever met…” we the audience know something is amiss.

If nothing else, see this movie just for Meryl Streep’s performance alone. ! As Senator Eleanor Shaw, she’s the cunning, manipulative, puppet master mother with the incestuous tendencies towards her isolated, loner son, pulling the strings of his career. Playing the role like a rabid Hillary Clinton, she’s a frightening force to be reckoned with, and she’s what makes the movie, in my opinion.

 
Key Elements

Alternate Personas and Trigger words – “Sergeant Shaw…Sergeant Raymond Shaw…Raymond Prentiss Shaw…” is the specific trigger to snap Raymond into his alter programmed persona. Mind control victims will have various triggers to snap them into their alternate personas, all of which are unknown to the conscious mind, which remembers nothing.

 

Implants –  In the 2004 version, they blatantly feature Raymond Shaw being triggered into his alternate persona, then receiving an implant device in his brain, used for the purpose of controlling/monitoring him. Capt. Marco finds an implant embedded in his left shoulder blade area, and finds one in Raymond’s back as well. Yes, implants are a very real part of mind controlled victim’s lives, and not something you normally see featured so prominently in a mainstream movie.

 

The hall of mirrors – In the aforementioned scene where Raymond Shaw is triggered into his alternate persona, he walks into the mirrored hallway of his clothes closet to get through the secret door at the end, where he receives a new implant in his brain. On a side note, hallways and doors are part of mind control symbolism, and programmed targets will often have dreams with that symbolism as it represents accessing the various compartmentalized areas of the mind. And in this scene we have mirrored doors on top of it. Mirrors are often used in conjunction with drugs and hypnotic programming to create the illusion of a second alternate persona within the mind of the target. Because the target is drugged up and dazed, they can be convinced to view their reflection as an actual secondary persona.

 

The Lone Gunman – Raymond’s mother, Senator Eleanor Shaw, calmly explains to Raymond the assassination plot which will allow him to take over once the newly elected President is removed from the picture. The gunman will be none other than the programmed and triggered Capt. Marco. When Raymond curiously asks about Marco’s fate, his mother lovingly explains that he will be killed, because “it’s necessary for the national healing.” A nice wake up call for those out there who still believe that the lone gunmen are regular guys gone crazy, rather than the programmed pawns acting for somebody else’s agenda that they really are.

Switching out the security footage. At the end of the movie after Marco turns the tables and assassinates the newly elected VP Shaw and his mother instead of the Prez, Marco’s “powers that be” friends erase his image from the security footage and replace it with another man’s, covering his butt. Somebody else goes down for the assassination instead of Marco, complete with fabricated story and all, and the public never has a clue. This may seem like nothing to many people who watch it, going over their heads as they forget about it in 30 seconds, but really, how hard would it be to swing something like that in real life? And not just for something big like an assassination, but for anything? When practically everybody has a computer nowadays and the term “photoshopping’ is a new verb in our lexicon, how hard would it be for the Big Boys to fake visual imagery – about anything – when even the average person has the technological capability to do it on a minor scale? It’s a rhetorical question. Nothing about this reality is what we’re told it is, least of all what we’re shown in the media.

Three days. I only just made a connection regarding this, but it seems that “three days” is another one of those key elements, for whatever reason. It’s used in the movie “Stay” as well, reviewed later in this section. In both movies, distorted reality/illusion/mind control stuff has happened or is currently happening during a particular three day time period. I wonder how many other movies make use of the “three day” element.

Fight Club – 1999. Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter. Based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk.

 

Edward Norton’s character, only indirectly referenced as being named “Jack”, (so I’ll just refer to him as Norton) is a passive, weak, white-collar, office drone insomniac addicted to support groups who harbors suicidal desires. He’s met his match with Marla Singer (Bonham Carter) another suicidal wayward soul who’s alone in life and has a home in the same support groups. Norton’s upteenth soul sucking business trip takes a turn for the interesting when his airplane seatmate turns out to be Tyler Durden, (Pitt) the cavalier soap salesman with the anarchist, nihilist attitude. After Norton’s condo blows up under mysterious circumstances, he soon pairs with Tyler, moving into a run down abandoned house on Paper Street. Together they form Fight Club, the underground secretive group comprised of everyday schmoes who want to test their manhood by beating the crap out of each other on a weekly basis. Fight Club grows rapidly, taking on a life of its own of epic proportions beyond Norton’s control, spawning Project Mayhem – the anarchist group bent on seeing the destruction of modern society.

 

Fight Club is a ready-made dream for any mind control programmer when their intended victims are going to be used for “agent provocateur” dirty work, as I will explain below. I don’t really think that Chuck Pahlaniuk deliberately wrote the book to be used as such, (hell, he probably didn’t even think it was going to be made into a movie) but I think that some “powers that be” certainly recognized the potential with the book/movie once it came out. It was a ready-made dream.

 
Key Elements

Split personality/alternate persona. Edward Norton and Pitt’s Tyler Durden turn out to be the same person in the big surprise twist moment at the end when it’s revealed that Norton is a split personality (translation = compartmentalized multiple). He’s been running around leading two lives for much of the movie without realizing it. Tyler Durden first started out as an “imaginary friend” of sorts, a crutch to help Norton’s character break free of the chains of his meaningless life, but little by little his mind began merging with the imaginary friend until he becomes Tyler Durden, complete with black out periods where he’s running around, doing things he later has no recollection of. This is classic split personality/compartmentalized multiple mind control victim behavior where the pawn is triggered into their alternate, then runs around doing bidding that they later have no knowledge of.

Agent provocateur programming.

 

The entire movie reinforces the idea of destructive anarchy, via Project Mayhem, with the goal being the dismantling of society. The name “Project Mayhem” itself is reminiscent of all the government black ops/mind control experimentation “Project This” and “Project That.” The last scene of the movie shows skyscraper after skyscraper blowing up and collapsing, Las Vegas hotel TNT style, as Tyler Durden and Marla Singer stand hand in hand, watching it all through the window, and the Pixies song “Where is my mind?” plays. Blow up the credit card companies, set everything back to zero, total chaos, is the intended plan. All of this is mucho bueno for programming pawns that will be used for agent provocateur work, or even “deltas”, used for assassinations and such.

 

Self Destruct Programming. At the end of the movie, Edward Norton puts a gun in his mouth and attempts to kill himself. Self destruct suicide programming is a MAJOR factor in most agent provocateurs/“Deltas” after they are done being used and abused. See “The Manchurian Candidate” review earlier in this section for more on this.

“My eyes are open.” – I didn’t catch this until I recently re-watched it from my current perspective with what I know now. But at the end of the movie when Edward Norton is facing off with his alternate persona Tyler Durden, he tells Tyler “My eyes are open…” then puts a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger. Over the past few years I came to figure out that the phrase “Open your eyes” is a trigger phrase (in fact, it’s the last line of the movie “Vanilla Sky”, which in itself is a remake of the Spanish “Abre los Ojos”, or “Open Your Eyes”…and I include an article at the end of this section regarding mind control called…”Operation Open Eyes”) and in Fight Club, we have Tyler responding back with “My eyes are open.” When you really listen to the dialogue that’s spoken before this line, you’ll see that the line doesn’t really fit. It’s just something tacked on at the end, the phrase preluding the suicide attempt. I don’t even think it’s in the original book. It’s the programmed multiple responding back to the subliminally planted command/trigger phrase of “Open your eyes…” with “My eyes are open…” and obediently following through with the programmed command to off himself.

Phoenix Rising – There’s a scene where “Jack” (Norton) narrates to the audience, “Every evening I died…and every evening I was born again.” Dying and being born again, besides relating to the more benign “Jesus” concept, also directly ties in to the Phoenix Rising. The Phoenix is a common “Brotherhood/Illuminati” symbolism, and within mind control relates to the old self dying with the new programmed alternate persona/overwrite personality rising up and taking over.

The opening scene. – And on a minor note, there’s the opening scene where the credits are rolling and a NIN song is playing – it’s textbook trance induction technique. The camera is moving backwards very rapidly, winding its way around this way and that through some microscopic world as the music pounds. Many movies feature this trance induction technique through movement and music during the opening credits – winding along, spinning, falling, fast panning, gliding over water – when you start to pay attention you’ll wonder why you never noticed it before. It’s to get you in a slightly hypnotic state, so that whatever comes after that will program you.

 
I came across an interesting two page write up regarding “Fight Club” worth mentioning here, on Conspiracy Planet.com:

Page One
Page Two

If you’re interested in further mind control analysis of this movie this is a link worth reading.

 
“Man, I see in Fight Club the smartest and strongest men who ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. Goddammit, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables. Slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history man, no purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won’t. And we’re slowly learning this fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.”

Eyes Wide Shut – 1999. Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman.

 

Dr. Bill Harford (Cruise) and his wife Alice, (Kidman), are well-to-dos who live in New York City. The crux of the movie centers on Alice revealing to Bill one night that she’d had the desire to cheat on him a year before with a Naval officer, and would have, if given half the chance. This revelation comes as a shocker to Bill, who just assumed that everything was hunky dory and moving along smoothly in his relationship. It also ruins the image he’d had of his wife as being innocent and blissful. Alice’s revelation sends Bill wandering around the city at night, trying to sort out his thoughts and his anger/confusion. His walkabout results in him crossing paths with unusual people and circumstances, all of which culminates in him winding up at an orgy of the elite at a Gothic mansion that turns out to be more than he bargained for.

 

Stanley Kubrick basically made a movie about the soulless, empty, rich elite and their occult ritual double lives (usually Satanic) using their programmed multiple personality slaves – and then mysteriously “died” before the movie was finished.

 

“Eyes Wide Shut” is visually enjoyable to watch as every scene was meticulously arranged and filmed in a hypnotic and engaging way, and color plays a heavy role in each and every scene. It received terrible reviews as being “boring”, but that’s because people didn’t understand that there were multiple layers and sub-themes playing out in the movie. So if you’re clued in, you’ll be watching an entirely different movie from what the person next to you is watching. The first and most obvious layer being about the theme of fidelity and sexual relations. Another layer has to do with destruction – nearly every side story and/or female that Bill encounters during his “walkabout” ends in tragedy of some sort – even death. The third layer had to do with dream vs. reality. Which leads to the fourth, and most important layer – it’s in my personal opinion that Stanley Kubrick saw the opportunity to use the “dream vs. reality” theme to slip something in regarding the lives of the rich elite, and their sexually exploited, (read: mind controlled) disposable pawns. As explained in the intro to this section, dream/illusion versus reality is a HUGE factor in programming mind controlled victims, whether they’re used as assassins/agent provocateurs, or sex kittens. What’s real? What’s an illusion? They don’t know, because they’re compartmentalized multiples with alternate personas, living multiple lives…just like what we find in this movie.

 

 
Key Elements

Alice – The famous shot of the movie, and a variation of which appears on the movie box cover is of Alice (Nicole Kidman) gazing at her reflection in a mirror, with her eyes wide open and mouth slightly agape, as Tom Cruise kisses her neck. That’s representative of Alice Through the Looking Glass, one of the most prominent mind control themes in use, as previously mentioned.

“Over the Rainbow”/“Open Your Eyes” – During the ball at the beginning, Bill is being spirited away from the party by two women (models) who have obvious plans to seduce him. When he asks “Ladies, where exactly are we going…exactly?” One replies, “Where the rainbow ends.”

“Where the rainbow ends?” he replies.

“Don’t you want to go where the rainbow ends? “ she says.

“Well, now that depends where that is…”

It’s said not once, but three times in the dialogue. Where the rainbow ends has a direct connection to the Wizard of Oz – which, along with Alice in Wonderland, is a HUGE mind control theme that’s heavily used. Going “over the rainbow” is all about sex kitten programming. Immediately following that scene Bill is then whisked away upstairs where Ziegler, the host of the party, is putting his pants back on next to an unconscious nude woman who’s supposedly overdosed on a speedball. Bill tries to wake her up with, among other things, “...Can you open your eyes for me?...let me see you open your eyes ...” (see the review for Fight Club prior to this for more on the trigger phrase “open your eyes”). Even the title, “Eyes Wide Shut” is related to open your eyes.

Later on in the movie when Bill needs to get a costume to go to the private masquerade party (masks/masquerade, more mind control symbolisms) he goes to a costume shop called… Rainbow Fashions.

The shopkeeper’s daughter – Played by Leelee Sobieski, she’s the underage Lolita temptress scurrying about in her underwear after being caught by her father cavorting with two very older Japanese men in the back of his costume shop. She’s flirtaciously sashaying about amidst all the costumes and masks, batting eyes at Bill after whispering something provocative in his ear…in the rainbow – over the rainbow, sex kitten programming – costume shop. Every female character in the movie has a slutty whore persona, interestingly enough, but not just regular old whores – there’s the underlying theme of exploitation happening – reinforcing the sex slave “kitten” mind control sub-theme of the movie. The shopkeeper’s daughter is the Lolita version of this. At the end of the movie when Bill revisits the shop to return his costume, he discovers that the “Lolita’s” father is now pimping her out.

The occult ritual orgy – Everything leads up to this moment. Dr. Harford finds himself crashing what he thinks will be just a regular old swanky party, only to find himself at a ritual occult orgy at a private gated Gothic mansion fortress on Long Island. The interior is decked out in red and black, the music is what sounds like creepy chanting in reverse Latin, but I’m not sure. Nick Nightingale plays the keyboard blindfolded, as the ritual leader swings a bowl of incense counterclockwise, surrounded by 12 nearly nude models, (12 around 1, 13 total); Each woman kisses the one next to her, moving counterclockwise around the circle. As Bill explores the mansion, he finds people sitting around completely still, gazing off blankly at nothing, or moving about in a bored, slow, mechanical way amidst the couples having sex. As far as the sex goes, it’s just guys mechanically pounding away at the females, who may as well be blow up dolls. There’s no life, personality or soul going on anywhere with anyone, which is exactly the point. There’s even a room where same-sex couples are lifelessly “ballroom dancing” with their masks on to the muzak version of “Strangers in the Night.” I don’t think that scene was supposed to be funny, but to me it was. !

The masks – Everybody walking about the mansion is wearing porcelain harlequin masks. As noted, one mind control programming technique involves “Porcelain mask programming” which makes this a notable symbolism.
 

 

 

The occult ritual with the center circle and the red and black hooded robes is reminiscent of “Carousel” in “Logan’s Run” (reviewed in the “Egyptian Symbolism” section) and the masquerade ball ties into a very similar scene in “Labyrinth.” So many movies tie into other movies, it’s just a matter of putting all the pieces together and seeing the bigger picture.

Dual lives/alternate personas – The participants at the orgy are leading double lives, and nobody out in the “real world” would ever imagine differently.

 
At the end of the movie, Bill returns home where his wife Alice awakens from a “bad dream” and tearfully relays that in the dream, she was at a party, having sex with many man, so many that she lost count, while he watched.

This is the clincher of the movie. She’s describing to a T the scene where he just was, but yet, she wasn’t there, and she couldn’t have known…right? Well, not unless she has been there…possibly in the past? My theory is that her “dream” is really a past memory. Combine this, with her name Alice – through the looking glass – and the whole split personality, compartmentalized multiple, mind control sex slave sub theme of the movie, and maybe it all makes sense.

 
Minor Points of Interest:

“Not a soul” – At the party at the beginning of the movie, as Bill and Alice dance together, she asks him if he knows anybody there. His response: “Not a soul….” A pun implying that everybody there is soulless. Later when Bill has to make a house call to somebody whose father has died, he tells Alice “I have to go over there and show my face.” That was interesting in light of the masquerade orgy later on in the movie where the key was everybody’s hidden faces. There is meaning to much of what seems like bland and pointless dialogue and plot.

On a side note, is there any significance I wonder to the Hungarian stranger who was flirting with Alice, trying to pick her up? Why Hungarian, of all nationalities?

Rainbow Christmas lights – I know the movie takes place at Christmas, but Stanley Kubrick, being who he is, sets up every scene of his movie in a meticulous way. Things are there in a shot because he wants them to be. And nearly every place Bill goes throughout his evening there are rainbow Christmas lights strung up everywhere. To the point where it’s REALLY noticeable. So many shots begin with Christmas lights featured prominently in the scene. No other movie that I’ve watched, which takes place at Christmas features this many rainbow lights. Considering the other very obvious references to rainbows, I believe this was for a reason. If anything, making the movie take place at Christmas assures that there’s an excuse to have rainbow lights in nearly every shot. ;) Pretty clever.

Domino – The prostitute that Bill meets as he roams about the city at night is named Domino. There is coincidentally what’s known as “domino programming” in mind control slaves.

At the very end of one scene, Domino says to Bill, “Don’t worry…I don’t keep track of time.” Being that this is the last sentence of the scene means that the director wanted this to be emphasized. For what reason? A mind controlled subject in their alternate personas (in this case, Domino representing the female sex kitten/prostitutes) has no sense of time.

Once inside Domino’s room, we see that she has rainbow Christmas lights strung up everywhere, tribal masks on the wall, a mirror over her dresser, and on the dresser, under the mirror is a book named “Shadows of the Mirror.” Taken individually, these things wouldn’t mean anything necessarily; pooled together as a whole I believe they do.

Fidelio – Bill needs a code word to gain access to the occult party, (trigger code word, access closed off areas of the mind). Fidelio is that word, a play on the word fidelity, which is also one of the themes of the movie. This reminded me of the movie Mulholland Drive with “Silencia.”

“V For Vendetta” – 2005. Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, Steven Rea, John Hurt, Stephen Fry, Tim Piggott-Smith, Roger Allam.

After a devastating virus wipes out over 100,000 people, with the chaos and mayhem that ensues, the population of England reacts with fear and elects a fascist government regime to restore order. Order comes with a price though – the loss of liberty. A mysterious man named V, (Weaving) decked out in a Guy Fawkes mask and wig, and some amazing abilities with knives, bombs and martial arts, sets about on a mission to single handedly overthrow the Nazi-like regime and spur the population into a revolution. He has the help of an every day working girl named Evie Hammond (Portman) who inadvertently winds up as his partner in crime when he saves her life one night in a dark alley. An embattled but tireless inspector (Rea) is on V’s case, but as events unfold and a long list of people with connections to something called the Larkhill Detention Center begin turning up dead, it soon becomes apparent that there’s more going on than just overthrowing the government. How are the events at Larkhill connected to the virus that killed over 100,000 people, and the fascist government that was spawned as a result?

 

“V For Vendetta,” based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore, is brought to us courtesy of the Wachowski brothers who have producers credits on this film. Even though they didn’t direct it, “V” still has the look and feel of the original Matrix movie in many ways, from V’s head to toe black get up, trenchcoat and boots, loaded down with weapons and some serious fighting skillzz ;) to the color quality, the hypnotic and engaging way it’s filmed, and even the score that plays throughout. (Take note of the scene when V steps off the elevator in the BTN studio, about to kick some ass…it’s straight out of the first Matrix, even down to the sound effects. Also, the theme of “revolution” calls to mind Matrix Revolutions.)

The story of “V For Vendetta” is multi-layered, which makes it interesting. The most obvious surface layer involves revolting against a fascist government regime and overthrowing the corruption. A second layer involves the theme of “coincidence” and “connection.” Connective coincidences appear throughout the movie, along with references to them by various characters. Everything is connected, as realized by Inspector Finch at the end of the movie in his big moment of realization. The third layer involves mind control symbolism, with its symbols and themes woven throughout the movie. It reminds me of a multiple image hologram. Turn it one way, see one thing. Turn it another, and a different picture emerges. I’m curious as to what Alan Moore, the original author, had/has going on in his life that he was able to come up with these things for his graphic novel. Many people have reported that he’s extremely…unusual with a strange and kooky personality that’s not easy to get along with, so it does make me wonder if he was involved with any mind control projects, and was pulling symbolism from his own experiences.

 

The mind control symbolism

V is a character who is broken and transformed during his time spent at the Larkhill Detention Center for undesirables, where victims are brutalized and experimented on like meat. Most of the victims die. But V not only lives, a genetic anomaly with unusual blood properties, he also develops unusual mental and physical abilities and lightning fast reflexes, becoming a new person who “could no longer remember who he was or where he was from,” as Doctor Delia Surridge from the Center notes in her journal. All of this brings to mind the government sponsored MK Ultra/mind control black ops projects and satanic ritual abuse where children of certain bloodlines are brutalized and traumatized until they form alternate split off personas and new identities, sent back out into the world with their new programming, used as pawns in somebody else’s agenda. Speaking from experience and personal knowledge, I can also add that many targets of government mind control projects will have extremely high intellectual capabilities and develop unusual…“abilities” such as photographic memory, lightning fast reflexes, psychic powers and so on. So this definitely seems to parallel.

V later engages in a similar torture/reconditioning treatment on Evie, taking her against her will and imprisoning her in a cell – all for her own good, mind you ;) – so that she can learn to overcome her fear. When Evie first emerges from her cell and realizes that V was behind it all, she has an emotional breakdown. But she not only gets over it, becoming the fearless warrior, but she later returns to V to help him, and even falls in love with him. I thought that was a bit twisted in some ways, and reminded me of the “romantic entanglement” between victim and handler mentioned in my “Labyrinth” write up. The abuser becomes the love interest, the hostage gets Stockholm Syndrome, and so on.

V’s new, alternate persona is the “agent provocateur.” It’s all another variation of what we find in “Fight Club.” After years of training and waiting for the right time, he begins his methodical plan of killing everybody who was connected to Larkhill, and setting into motion events that will eventually dismantle the current fascist, corrupt government. His free time is single mindedly devoted to fight training – knives, swords, and martial arts – and putting his plans into action. That is his only admitted purpose for living.

So with that established, let’s review some of the mind control symbolisms I noticed in the movie:

The mask and mirror. We are introduced to V while he puts his mask on in front of his mirror, getting ready to head out. Later on in the movie, V takes his mask off and throws it against the mirror, shattering the glass.

 

 

As noted previously in this section, masks and mirrors are major mind control symbolisms. See “Labyrinth” and “Eyes Wide Shut” for two examples in this section. As Gordon Dietrich says in the movie, “You wear a mask for so long you begin to forget who you were beneath it.” Mask symbolism, as used in mind control, refers to the masking of the various split off alternate personas from each other. Mirrors are often used in conjunction with drugs and hypnotic programming to create the illusion of a second alternate persona within the mind of the target. Because the target is drugged up and dazed, they can be convinced to view their reflection as an actual secondary persona.

Phoenix Rising. Just like in “Fight Club,” our main hero V experiences a transformation in personality that’s likened to the phoenix. His old self dies, and a new persona is born, rising from the fire – literally. And just like “Fight Club” this transformation results in a persona hellbent on destroying the society he sees around him. In mind control programming, the phoenix rising symbolism is quite popular as it refers to the rising up of the new, alternate persona taking over the mind of the victim.

“Project Mayhem space monkey army” look. On this note, Evie is also transformed from an every day working girl who lives in fear, to a fearless warrior with a shaved head, doing her part to dismantle society. Very reminiscent of the Project Mayhem space monkey army with their shaved heads in “Fight Club.”

Agent Provocateur programming. As mentioned earlier, V has the agent provocateur attitude as found in Fight Club, stealing, killing, blowing things up, and instigating disobedience, wanting to destroy the corrupt society he sees around him through violence and force, in order to bring about change.

The dominos. There’s a (red and black colored) domino knock down scene forming a large “V” towards the end of the movie, just before V heads out to blow up Parliament and face his inevitable death. Turn the hologram image one way and it represents the connectedness of all things, one of the sub-themes of the movie. Turned another way, with the knowledge that dominoes are used in mind control, and it has another meaning. This comes before the grand finale of the movie, so you could say it’s a “trigger” of sorts. ;)

Suicide/Self Destruct Programming. And like in “Fight Club” and “The Manchurian Candidate” the hero/pawn must die via “self destruct programming” after being used to fulfill the agenda. While the lead characters in the other two movies attempt to kill themselves but don’t succeed, V knowingly goes up against Creedy and his men who all have guns, and sacrifices his own life in order to take out them in the process using only his knives, martial arts, and lightning fast reflexes.

Shadows. A minor one, but V calls his home “The Shadow Gallery.” An interesting choice of words. It’s indeed gallery-like, for its collection of banned art, books, music, trinkets and do-dads, but what does shadow refer to? Shadow also appeared in “Eyes Wide Shut,” with the book entitled “Shadows of the Mirror” on Domino’s desk. In mind control it can be the shadow self or alternate persona.

 

Other Interesting symbolism

11:00. The time on the clock at the beginning of the movie when Evie is ready to head out the door into the night, where she will eventually cross paths with V, changing the course of her life. 11 is a master number, representing “the initiate,” and is amply fitting for Evie as she is the fearful, naïve initiate at the beginning of the movie, about to have her world turned upside down to the point of eventually becoming a different person.

3:30. (or rather, 33) the time left on the bomb clock when the camera first pans on it. 33 is another master number, important in Freemasonry. Think of the 33rd degree in the Scottish rite of Freemasonry, the highest level one can attain. I’m thinking it could be a marker of sorts slipped in to indicate who was behind the making of this movie.

The “V” symbol. “Coincidentally,” the red V logo is strikingly similar to the Baphomet goat head’s pentagram used in occult practices. All that’s missing are the ears, which form the other two triangles of the pentagram. It’s also reminiscent of the red spray painted V in the 1983-84 TV miniseries “V,” about reptilian aliens that come to earth and the resulting Nazi-like mentality that begins taking over the population who fall in line with them. (See also the image of Frank the (Baphomet/V) Bunny from Donnie Darko.)

 

 

 

The Cross of Lorraine. The flag of the fascist government is a red and black version of the Cross of Lorraine.

The Cross of Lorraine has a long and meaningful history and is considered one of the many “Brotherhood” symbolisms of those who run the planet. It has its origins in France, and Joan of Arc was known to carry a flag with this symbol on it in battle; In “V for Vendetta,” the government is always mindful to point out all the outside enemies and how “England Will Prevail!” so it’s fitting that they would then adopt this symbol to represent their battle mentality of prevailing. However….the way the meaning gets twisted around, with the enemy masquerading as the savior government pretending to be at battle with outside forces parallels the way the Nazis hoodwinked the German population and took the swastika, originally an eastern spiritual symbol with positive meanings, and twisted it all around into something with an evil meaning. This parallel was purposeful in the movie, hence the same red, black and white coloring as the swastika flag.

 

The roses. Another Brotherhood symbolism, calling to mind the Rosicrucians, or, the “order of the rose cross.”

Red, black and white. Common occult color scheme found in many meaningful movies with hidden agendas and secondary symbolic meanings.

“Ride the Long Black Train.” Song by Richard Hawley that plays on Inspector Finch’s alarm clock radio the morning of November 5th. I jotted down the lyrics and Googled them afterwards to see if they had any significant meaning and reason for why this song in particular was used in the movie. After reading the lyrics it’s all extremely fitting, especially the line “Take me home black train…” After V finally dies from the wounds sustained by Creedy’s men, Evie puts him on the bomb-laden train, places a rose on his chest, and pulls the lever to send the train off into Parliament to blow it up. Also the words “rose,” “shadows” “tolling bells” “the city” “deep of the night” and “clock tower” all appear in the song, tying into various things in the movie, which is interesting, considering the song came out several years before the movie.

 

Notable quotes:

“People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.” – V.

“I want everyone to remember why they need us!” – Chancellor Sutler. Next scene is a montage of fear mongering news stories, lies, manipulation and spin to indeed, remind the public “why they need” the fascist government to keep them safe.

“Our job is to report the news, not fabricate it. That’s the government’s job.” BTN employee.

“Fear became the ultimate tool of this government.” – V.

“Mulholland Drive” – 2001. Naomi Watts, Laura Elena Harring, Justin Thieroux, Ann Miller.

 

Betty (Watts) is a wide-eyed, fresh faced newbie arrival to Los Angeles with acting aspirations reminiscent of the old Hollywood movie starlets, who happens upon a beautiful woman with amnesia named Rita, (Harring) another throwback to Old Hollywood. Betty makes it her personal mission to help Rita and get to the bottom of retrieving her memories and piecing together what happened to her. All they have to go on are a purse full of money, a mysterious blue key, and Rita’s sole memory that she was in an accident while en route to Mulholland Drive. Side plots interwoven throughout involve the personal woes of movie director Adam Kesher (Thieroux) and an assortment of David Lynch-esqe characters and their strange and mysterious happenings which don’t initially make sense…but which keep your attention sucked in to the end to find out what’s going on.

 

I found the movie to be the best David Lynch movie I’ve seen yet. Or as somebody on imdb.com put it, “David Lynch finally succeeded at making a David Lynch movie.” Whenever I feel the need to “visit” L.A. from where I currently live, I just pop in this movie. With its strange characters and their disjointed plots, moody music, and scenes that are filmed in an hypnotic and engaging way, it captures the empty, disconnected, lonely vibe of L.A. so well.

 
Key Elements

The mysterious blue key – Keys are a major mind control symbolism, as they represent locked areas / compartments of the mind. All Rita has is her purse full of money and the mysterious blue key. So, what does the key open?

 

Amnesia – Rita has amnesia, and can’t remember who she is or what she was doing. Could be representative of the compartmentalized multiple’s life. Which leads to…

Alternate personas – Once again we have a major plot twist where it’s revealed that nothing is what it seemed to be and the lead characters are really somebody else. Who we thought we knew as Betty and Rita were just figments of an imagination…alternate personas in a dream world. In the same way that Edward Norton’s “Jack” was really Tyler Durden, “Betty” was really Diane Selwyn, and “Rita” was Camilla Rhodes.

Silencia – Betty and Rita are watching an opera where it turns out the lead performer is just lip synching, (illusion, things are not as they seem to be) and there’s an emphasis on the word “Silencia.” Both women mouth it as they’re watching. Something odd when I watched this movie for the very first time – as I watched this scene, I myself also mouthed the word “silencia” a moment before it was said. I already knew it. Maybe I’m just psychic, I don’t know. ;) At any rate, silencia in this case was a trigger word, as things took a turn in the movie right after this scene.

There really isn’t too much else that I can pick out in terms of specific symbolisms relating to mind control. The movie centers around Hollyweird and the land of broken dreams, which is ripe ground for the exploited “MK Ultra”-type stars. Like “Eyes Wide Shut” it’s filmed in a hypnotic and engaging way. And again, the main character is living out a dream world in an alternate persona, trying to find what the key opens. So whether this movie was intended to be symbolic of a mind controlled victim’s world as some people believe, I don’t know, but I figured I’d throw it in here anyway, what the hell.

The Game – 1997. Michael Douglas, Deborah Kara Unger, Sean Penn.

Probably not coincidentally ;) we have a second David Fincher movie dripping in mind control symbolism. While “Fight Club” was more of a program reinforcer/triggerer, “The Game” seems to have much of the symbolism you’ll find in mind control research – just for the sake of it. I can’t say with certainty what purpose it serves. But it’s still interesting, nonetheless.

 

For his 48th birthday present, the extremely wealthy and emotionally cold Nicholas Van Orton (Douglas) receives an enigmatic present from his wayward younger brother Conrad (Penn) – an invitation to contact Consumer Recreation Services, known as CRS. It’s to “play a game”, and promises to be the best thing that could ever happen to him. See, you don’t play the game. The game plays you. Initially dismissive, Van Orton later changes his mind. But what is the Game? Like “The Matrix” you can’t be told…you just have to see it for yourself. What’s the purpose of the Game? Like “eXistenZ” you have to play it to find out. Van Orton soon finds himself immersed in the biggest mind f*** he’s ever experienced, and it soon becomes apparent things may no longer be “just a game.”

 

 
Half the fun of this movie is not knowing what exactly is going on, and who’s really who, and what’s really what, so for that reason I won’t reveal any spoilers, not even with a “warning!” But I will point out the very obvious mind control symbolisms littered throughout the movie:

The Keys. Van Orton is told by CRS that a big part of the game involves “finding keys” along the way…that will unlock something. He won’t know what until he gets there. But be on the lookout for keys. True to their word, keys do figure prominently throughout the movie, with younger brother Conrad finding an entire glove compartment full of them at one point. Soon after, in an upcoming scene we get…

White Rabbit. – Jefferson Airplane’s classic Alice in Wonderland drug trip tune, “White Rabbit” plays about halfway through the movie, right when things are taking a dark turn. As noted, Alice in Wonderland, reality vs. illusion, etc. is classic in mind control.

“Keep Your Eyes Open” and an alternate version of “Open Your Eyes.” When Van Orton tries to find out what the Game is from another wealthy fat cat who played it, he is told “Do you want to know what it is?” (Just like Morpheus in “The Matrix” – he even leans forward in his chair as he says it.) Then the bible is quoted: John 9:25. “Whereas once I was blind, now I can see.” That’s all he is told. The Game will “open your eyes,” indeed. Later, when he is receiving instruction about the keys and their purpose – via a hijacked financial program on his TV set – he is told “...so keep your eyes open.“ (See “Fight Club”, above, for more on this.) Open your eyes and look for the key. It’s just amazing how many “mind control” movies utilize this phrase, or versions of it, as well as the key symbolism.

In “Alice in Wonderland,” Alice begins her journey by following the white rabbit who’s not happy to have her there, and who’s in quite a hurry to get somewhere. They tumble down the rabbit hole, and so it all begins. In “The Game” we have an alternate version of this – the game officially begins when Van Orton inadvertently causes his waitress to quit. As she storms off, he’s handed a message by a mysterious stranger that simply says, “Don’t Let Her Get Away.” He gets up and runs after her – but she won’t stop. She’s pissed, and tells him to f*** off, so he has to follow along after her at a fast pace, whether she wants him there or not. And that’s the start of it all. From there they find themselves in a stuck elevator – elevators are one main mind control technique – and onto the rest of their adventure.

On imdb.com, it’s mentioned that one of David Fincher’s trademarks is the use of suicide – either an actual suicide, or an attempt. Suicide figures prominently in this movie as well, and many mind control victims are instilled with suicide programming.

What it all means, I don’t know. But the symbolism is clearly there. I just can’t say with certainty how it would be used, or by who. At any rate, this is a good movie imo, definitely worth renting.

Stay – 2005. Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, Ryan Gossling, Bob Hoskins

Psychiatrist Sam Foster (McGregor) finds himself taking over the case of a patient named Henry Letham (Gossling) when his colleague, Dr. Beth Levy, takes a leave of absence. Henry is a suicidal enigma who has suffered through a mysterious trauma, with plans to kill himself in three days. This leaves Sam no choice but to try to stop him…and get to the bottom of the mystery of what happened to Henry. But as he embarks on his journey, his reality begins dismantling.

Stay’s tagline is “Between the worlds of the living and the dead there is a place you’re not supposed to stay.” ...so you know going into this movie that somebody’s dead here, it’s just a matter of figuring out who it is, and what exactly is going on. And being that this movie is mentioned here means it’s saturated with mind control symbolisms/triggers/themes. Of course! This one just packed them all in, it was a bit surprising. Without giving away spoilers, here are the highlights:

 

Reality vs. Illusion – More of the “in two worlds” concept, where the characters no longer know what’s real and what’s a dream. The idea of reality being a dream and “illusion” is emphasized at the tail end.

 

Open Your Eyes/Blind man seeing – Yes, more people directly saying “open your eyes” multiple times, and a blind man who can see again. Just like in The Game – “Whereas once I was blind, now I can see.”

Spiral stairs – Scene involving trippy looking spiral stairs that Sam stumbles down as his reality begins unraveling around him. Spirals/helixes are one of those mind control themes mentioned at the start of this section, and considering that Sam is falling down the spiral stairs as his reality begins unraveling into a dream state is quite symbolic.

11:33 – When Sam asks Leon the blind man, (Hoskins) when he was able to see again, Leon smiles and cheerfully responds “11:33!” This one made my head whip back in the theater, like, Wow! 11 and 33 are both important numbers in numerology – 11 is the initiate, while 33 is the master. (Think of the 33rd degree in the Scottish rite of Freemasonry, Jesus dying at the age of 33, etc.)

Three days – Mentioned in the “Manchurian Candidate” section, it’s interesting to note that in both movies distorted reality/illusion/mind control stuff has happened or is currently happening during a particular three day time period. I wonder how many other movies make use of the “three days of strangeness” element, (which reminds me of a song that I liked in the 90’s called “Three Strange Days”, by School of Fish: “For three strange days, I couldn’t put a smile on my face/ my mind was a blur, I did not know what to do…” )

The bridge – heavily emphasized in the movie, it’s where Henry plans to commit suicide; symbolizes the bridge between two worlds, whether it be life/death, or reality/illusion.

Suicide – And like “The Game” and “Fight Club”, we have suicide and more suicide. In this case, it’s Henry sticking a gun in his mouth to off himself, (exactly as Tyler Durden does…) following the scenes with open eyes and a blind man seeing again, (same as Tyler Durden, saying “My eyes are open…) Also, Sam’s girlfriend Lila, (Watts) has survived her own suicide attempt, a focal point of the relationship between her and Sam. At the end of the movie, Sam describes Lila’s wrist wounds to Henry, emphasizing that it was three 4-inch cuts, and how she lost five pints of blood. (3, 4, 5?) If it’s emphasized, it means something. ;)

It’s in my opinion that this movie, like The Game, has that meaningful esoteric symbolism intertwined around mind control symbolism and triggers.

The Butterfly Effect – 2004. Another movie with mind control symbolisms and metaphors would be “The Butterfly Effect”, from 2004, starring Ashton Kutcher. The title alone, with butterfly in it, has two meanings: On the surface, it’s about the chaos theory; the secondary meaning could be representative of “Monarch” mind control programming, supposedly a subdivision of sorts of MK Ultra. And the movie as a whole is supposedly a representation of the traumas inflicted on children when they’re undergoing Monarch programming by their handlers, (being molested / used in porn films, having their pets killed, etc., which are things that are featured in this movie) as well as the after effects of this – turning to prostitution and drugs, alternate personas, black out periods, no sense of time, dying young, etc. This movie is a bit on the heavy side, which surprised people who weren’t expecting a movie like this from someone like Ashton Kutcher, but it’s definitely worth mentioning for its possible double meaning mind-control themes.

---

Last but not least I want to mention the 2004 movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, Kirsten Dunst and Elijah Wood, with a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman. Joel (Carrey) and Clementine (Winslet) have just ended their tumultuous relationship, and Clementine impulsively decides to have the entire debacle erased from her memory, courtesy of the memory erasing company, “Lacuna.” Joel signs up to have the same procedure done, but as the memories begin to get wiped out, he realizes that he still loves her…and fights to keep his memories.

 

The reason I mention this movie in the mind control category is because of one simple line, which made me sit up and take notice. “Meet me at Montauk.” Montauk Point, on Long Island, is notorious for its mind control experimentation and government black ops projects that have gone on at its now defunct military base. In doing the research you’ll uncover books and articles written by those who claim to have been involved, (“the Montauk boys” as they’re called) or who have at least dug around and investigated it. “Eternal Sunshine” revolves around a mind altering procedure designed to wipe out memories and create new lives – and in Clementine’s case, even a new “identity”, as she changes her name to Tangerine – and Joel’s last words to Clementine as the final memory of her is erased is the whispered “Meet me at Montauk….”

They do meet up at Montauk, with Joel abandoning his plans to go to work on an impulse in order to catch a train out to the Point, not knowing why he’s doing that. Reminds me of a subconscious mind control command put into place that gives the target a maddening urge to do something that makes no sense. Clementine and Joel cross paths, and even though they no longer consciously remember each other, they’re oddly drawn to each other once again. This also reminds me of mind control targets who’ve been programmed and let loose out into the world, crossing paths with other targets that they know as their “alternate selves”, feeling a strange draw to them, but with no conscious recollection of anything on the surface.

Trigger Phrases in Movie Posters / Trailer Clips

This has become a recent interest of mine lately too – the idea of trigger codes and phrases used as the descriptive slogans on movie posters, and highlighted in the trailers. A “programming trigger” would use known mind control names and symbols; pertain to concepts such as illusion vs. reality, dream state vs. waking state, rebelling against authority/anarchy/societal uprising, etc; as well as just being a highly suggestive command in general that’s recognizable in the context of known mind control techniques.

The first time I really thought about this was for the movie Resident Evil 2. The movie’s tagline was “My name is Alice…and I remember everything.“

The second I heard that I perked right up. As we’re all WELL aware by this point in the write up ;) Alice in Wonderland is one of the most prominent mind control symbolisms in use. So here we have the lead character of RE2 named Alice, which at first doesn’t seem like much…until you factor in the tagline. “I remember everything.” Well alrighty then! Sounds like a candidate to me. Time to wake up, mind controlled kiddies. Time to remember your programming.

Recently I was watching a trailer for the upcoming thriller “Hard Candy.” At the very end of the trailer, the lead character, a 14 year old girl, says matter-of-factly, “Play time is over. Now it’s time to wake up.”

It didn’t necessarily fit with whatever had come before it, and stood on its own as a very suggestive command. This whole thing with “waking up” is a big one with triggers. Wake up from the dream, the illusion; waking up the alternate compartmentalized persona which normally lies dormant until needed.

Those are two big candidates that I can think of at the moment. As I encounter more, I will add to this list. But if this is a subject that interests you, start paying closer attention to movie taglines on posters, advertising sound bite slogans, and those particular phrases that may stand out above others in the trailers. Not to sound like a paranoid schizophrenic, but when you realize how many people out there in the world are programmed, then you have to realize that they’re using media as a way to slip in programming cues. It’s perfect, only because most of us do watch movies and partake in entertainment to some degree. Use mass media programming to trigger the masses who may be programmed. ;) Something to keep in mind.
