The Stanley Kubrick Conspiracy - Part 6: Eyes Wide Shut

Kubrick’s final film, “Eyes Wide Shut”, has been meticulously analysed by many alternative knowledge researchers. It is considered that the film is the closest a Hollywood production has ever come to metaphorically “spilling the beans” about aspects of the global agenda. The film alludes to elite collusion, secret societies, ritualistic and occult practices, and mind control programming.
 
Apparently, the film’s origins date back to the late 1960s. "The plot of EWS is based on Arthur Schnitzler’s 1926 novella entitled Traumnovelle (Dream Story), and Stanley Kubrick had wanted to make this story into a film way back in 1968, when he first read the novella, while making his magnum opus 2001: A Space Odyssey. The novella wrestles with issues that are germane to today’s world, such as the issue of being spiritually asleep versus being spiritually awake."

The central characters are Bill and Alice (Through the Looking Glass…) Hartford, a married couple who mix with elements of New York’s social elite. The characters are portrayed by agenda notables and then-married couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Perhaps coincidentally, the couple immediately divorced after their participation in the film.

The story follows Bill, who learns that his wife has considered cheating on him. This leads him on a journey – encountering a large gathering of masked individuals who are partaking in a secret society ritual, involving all manner of naked sexual debauchery. Bill learns of this gathering from his old friend “Nick Nightingale”, who performs music (whilst blindfolded) at these events. It appears that Bill has witnessed things he shouldn’t have. This leads him into a dark world of elite controlled intimidation, perversion and murder – a world that is ordinarily hidden from the larger public.

The exterior locale of the secret society gathering (Somerton, Long Island – in the film) was actually shot at Mentmore Towers in the UK. Dating from the 19th century, Mentmore was a country house built for members of the elite Rothschilds family. It has been suggested, by some researchers, that (by selecting this location) Kubrick was trying to show his audience an example of the “real world” equivalents of the elite figures witnessed in the film.

Rare documentation shows that masked “events” were held by the Rothschild family at this location. Mainstream historians claim that these types of events allegedly date back to the Italian Renaissance, where elite figures would don elaborate masks so as to retain their anonymity at social events, whilst simultaneously indulging their inhibitions without fear of reprisal or social denunciation. However, as I understand it, such practices appear to predate the Italian Renaissance by a substantial amount of time.

In the infamous “murder by phallic art” scene of “A Clockwork Orange”, the character of Alex hides his identity with a disguise that is worryingly reminiscent of the masonic “plague doctor” mask. Similar masks are also noticeable in the ritual scenes of “Eyes Wide Shut”.
One example of a masked event at Mentmore Towers was held in 1972 by Baroness Marie-Hélène de Rothschild and Baron Alexis de Redé. Photographs from the event show some guests wearing Venetian masks (actually quite similar to some witnessed in the film), whilst images of the invitations reveal that the text was printed in reversed writing – a theme common in occult and ritualistic practices.

There is an interesting similarity with this practice in “Eyes Wide Shut”. When Bill enters the gathering, “the song heard in the background is called 'Backwards Priests' and features a Romanian Orthodox Divine Liturgy played backwards. The reversal or inversion of sacred objects is typical of black magic and satanic rituals.” http://vigilantcitizen.com/moviesandtv/the-hidden-and-not-so-hidden-messages-in-stanley-kubricks-eyes-wide-shut-pt-ii/

It is also claimed that certain street names and characters names in the film take on additional esoteric meanings when spelt backwards. In the film, Bill witnesses a “High Priest” (dressed in red) performing a ceremony at the centre of a circle formed by several young women. The High Priest sits on a throne which features an “Egyptian Uraeus Serpent with the two heads on the back of the chair. This relates to the Sun, and the two heads -- which face and East and West, relate to the rising and setting of the Sun.” http://kentroversypapers.blogspot.co.uk/2006/03/eyes-wide-shut-occult-symbolism.html In the story, the identity of the High Priest is unknown. The High Priest is played by actor Leon Vitali (born Alfred Leon), a long time Kubrick collaborator. Vitali played Lord Bullingdon in Kubrick’s 1975 film “Barry Lyndon” and served as casting director and personal assistant to Kubrick on “Full Metal Jacket” (1987) and “Eyes Wide Shut”.

Research into trauma-based mind control has revealed a possible type of programming that utilises women for sexual slavery, abuse and sacrifice (amongst other things). The practice is extensively alluded to in popular culture – film, television, music, fashion, the pornographic industry, and so on. Those who have studied “Eyes Wide Shut” in this context have suggested (given the various analogous references throughout) that the women seen at the ritual are probably based on the model of “Beta Sex Kitten” slaves. Adam Gorightly has written an interesting article entitled “An Interpretation of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut” that explores this theme. http://www.konformist.com/flicks/eyeswideshut.htm

Upon being exposed, Bill is placed in the centre of another ritualistic circle awaiting judgement from those gathered. Kubrick loves this imagery. Witness the circular table in “Dr Strangelove”, around which are gathered the global elite deciding the fate of the world. In “Eyes Wide Shut”, the “magic circle” is affected when the character of Amanda appears on an upper balcony, telling the High Priest that she wants to “redeem” Bill. The Priest replies, “Are you sure you understand what you’re taking upon yourself in doing this?” The next day, Bill reads in the newspaper that Amanda was found dead in a hotel room due to an overdose. Ritualistic deaths (particularly in the entertainment Industry) are often “disguised” as simply “untimely” or “accidental” deaths.

Closer inspection of the on-screen newspaper (which reports her Amanda’s death) reveals (shown only fleetingly, in typical Kubrick fashion) the story of a woman who was “emotionally troubled” as a teenager and underwent “treatments”, that she had “important friends in the fashion and entertainment worlds”, and that she had an “affair” with a powerful fashion designer who got “wowed by her private, seductive solo performances”. These are also behavioural traits of those allegedly subjected to Beta Sex Kitten programming. The news article also names the “powerful fashion designer” as “Leon Vitali” – the same “Leon Vitali” who is listed on the credits of the film as playing the “High Priest”. What is Kubrick trying to tell us?

The film makes further allusions to the mind control phenomenon. The costume rental store where Bill rents his mask is named “Rainbow” (“The Wizard of Oz” - See Chapter Nine). There is another store located directly beneath “Rainbow” named “Under the Rainbow” ("As Above, So Below"). Kent Daniel Bentkowski, in his detailed article “Eyes Wide Shut: Occult Symbolism”, has also noted that “the building directly adjacent to the Rainbow Costume shop is a Freemason Lodge, which can only be seen with the DVD player's ZOOM feature.” http://kentroversypapers.blogspot.co.uk/2006/03/eyes-wide-shut-occult-symbolism.html

Going “over the rainbow” is a term that recurs in mind control literature, referring to those whose conditioning causes them to dissociate from reality. Bill’s wife, Alice, hints that she may have lost recall of some of her memories and refers to certain memories and thoughts as “dreams”. The last scene of the movie takes place at a toy store, where a number of the toys appear to symbolically represent aspects of mind control and ritual practices – one such item is called the “Magic Circle”.


The pool room scene remains a key revelatory moment in the film. Bill confronts one of the members of the group - an associate of his named Ziegler. Although Ziegler “appears” to be openly candid with Bill, it is clear that he is dissembling and confounding the truth. He chillingly hints at the scale of the situation: “I don’t think you realize what kind of trouble you were in last night. Who do you think those people were? Those were not just ordinary people there. If I told you their names – I’m not gonna tell you their names – but if I did, I don’t think you’d sleep so well.”

Kubrick completed his final cut of “Eyes Wide Shut” in March 1999. Within the first several days of the month, the film was viewed by the key actors involved, some of Kubrick’s friends and family, and certain Warner Brother executives. Kubrick died days later, on the 7th March. It is widely claimed that the “Kubrick cut” of March 1999 was almost an hour longer in length than the publically released film. The cut material also allegedly included dream-like sequences of a mind-bending, reality-distorting nature. Why was this material removed from the film?
The myriad of continuity errors, particularly the pool room scene, indicate heavy editing that is inconsistent with Kubrick’s style and standard. Kubrick loved to edit his films with meticulous precision. “Editing is the only aspect of the cinematic art that is unique. It shares no connection with any other art form: writing, acting, photography, things that are major aspects of the cinema, is still not unique to it, but editing is.” Kubrick’s “final” edit was witnessed (and approved by Warner Bros.) and seemingly differs dramatically from the released film. Why? http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/faq/index4.html

Ironically, Kubrick’s contract with Warner Bros. stated that “Eyes Wide Shut” was to be released on July 16th 1999, exactly thirty years to the day of the Apollo 11 “landing”. Is it possible that the claims of his involvement with the Apollo hoax (along with the revelations of his last film) came back to haunt him in the final days of his life?

The reason “Eyes Wide Shut” became Kubrick’s final film remains a constant source of speculation. Kubrick allegedly died of an unexpected heart attack at the age of 70. Most biographies of Kubrick unsurprisingly maintain that he “died in his sleep of natural causes”. A number of friends and family described the sudden death as shocking, given that he was apparently in good health. Although unexpected and sudden deaths do not necessarily constitute suspicious circumstances, a number of people now believe that Kubrick was assassinated in light of the film’s revelations about the ritualistic practices and secretive collusion of the elite.

It is worth remembering that Mozart, a noted freemason, died soon after revealing aspects of the masonic “mystery school” teachings in his opera “The Magic Flute”. "Author Stephen Knight, whose book, Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution (1975) revealed Victorian London's Whitechapel Murders as the work of ritual masonic killers, also died mysteriously. And William Morgan, author of Freemasonry Exposed (1836) was kidnapped and allegedly murdered by masons."
http://www.umsl.edu/~thomaskp/offline7.htm

However, “Eyes Wide Shut” was not the first attempt made by Kubrick to examine the nature of secret societies and cover-ups. At some point during the 1980s, he began investigating the possibility of mounting a cinematic adaption of “Foucault's Pendulum” – from the book by Umberto Eco. The plot involved “three book editors decide as a joke to invent a worldwide conspiracy theory. The game turns deadly when they start to disappear one by one. Foucault's Pendulum is Italian semiotics professor Umberto Eco's satirical take on conspiracy theories, the illuminati and secularisation of religion in the modern age.” Kubrick was allegedly one of a dozen filmmakers who attempted to option the novel. Kubrick never got much past the preliminary production stages though. (The Kubrick FAQ) http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/faq/index4.html

The film “Rosemary’s Baby” was another Hollywood movie that explored ritualized practices. After the movie was distributed, Sharon Tate (the wife of its director Roman Polanski - along with several other people) was savagely murdered at Polanski’s home. The murders were eventually attributed to The Manson Family and displayed many hallmarks of “occult” and “ritualistic” practices. This whole affair unfolded amongst the hills of Laurel Canyon, amidst multiple agenda players. A number of claims of sexually inappropriate behaviour have also been heaped upon Polanski.

“Rosemary’s Baby” is also noted as an almost ritualized recreation of Aleister Crowley’s Babalon/Amalantrah Working. A similar observation has been made about “2001: A Space Odyssey”. In the film, there are a succession of lunar/solar/planetary alignments (prompted by the appearance of the Saturnian/”Black Cube” Monolith) that create “eclipses”. These prompt the eventual appearance of the “Starchild” entity. Some researchers discuss the “Moonchild” in relation to the “Sunchild”/Sun-King/Horus/etc. The Sun is, of course, a star. So, the natural progression of the Moonchild/Sunchild is the “Starchild”. Is the film an analogy for the evocation ritual? In this regard, there may be a few “degrees of separation” that connect back to Kubrick’s final film. Crowley’s ritual connects to L. Ron Hubbard, who founded Scientology, which was avidly supported by Tom Cruise (who is their “poster boy”) and Nicole Kidman, who both starred in “Eyes Wide Shut”…


Kubrick’s expose of the sexual nature of elite ritualistic and occult practices also cannot be overlooked. The overt sexualisation of children is very much a part of these practices. Kubrick vaguely alluded to this in “Eyes Wide Shut” and featured it as a central plot device in his earlier work “Lolita”. Interestingly, “Lolita” departs from the notorious book, on which it was based, on one significant plot point – the role of Peter Sellers’ character, who hints at the existence of a paedophile network.

Associated allegations were once levelled at Kubrick’s “2001:  A Space Odyssey” collaborator Arthur C. Clarke. These allegations, combined with Clarke’s eventually disclosed homosexual orientation, have prompted a wealth of discussion on the internet. However, the allegations made against Clarke remain impossible to evidentially quantify. Some researchers have suggested that these claims were made in order to discredit Clarke's character. Others have speculated about how extensive his "agenda" connection were. Should we read something into the timing of these claims - as Kubrick was heavily involved in the production of "Eyes Wide Shut", and roughly a year before his death?

Some vague details of the allegations appear on Clarke’s Wikipedia page: “On 26 May 2000 he was made a Knight Bachelor "for services to literature" at a ceremony in Colombo. The award of a knighthood had been announced in the 1998 New Year Honours, but investiture with the award had been delayed, at Clarke's request, because of an accusation, by the British tabloid The Sunday Mirror, of paedophilia. The charge was subsequently found to be baseless by the Sri Lankan police. According to The Daily Telegraph (London), the Mirror subsequently published an apology, and Clarke chose not to sue for defamation. Clarke was then duly knighted.”

There are also opaque thematic references to ritualistic sexualisation of children in the film that Kubrick planned to make after “Eyes Wide Shut” – “A.I. Artificial Intelligence”. The film centres on the concept of artificially-created children being manufactured as substitutes for childless couples or grieving parents trying to come to terms with the loss of a human child. However, “Eyes Wide Shut” became Kubrick’s last film and “A.I.” was eventually completed by Steven Spielberg. It is said that Kubrick’s plot was radically darker in tone than the final film – more deeply examining why people would want to create life-like children that never grew up.More alarmingly, Saturn Worship (along with other aspects of elite belief systems) is also allegedly connected with the sexual abuse of children – the act of which is viewed by many twisted and depraved agenda participants as a ritualistic “sacrifice of innocence”. Troy D. McLachlan (author of the website saturndeathcult.com) asks, “Is the greater body of Stanley Kubrick’s films an exposé of a hidden elite obsessed with dark Saturnian sexual rites, paedophilia and the planned ritualistic transmutation of mankind?” http://saturndeathcult.com/crimes-of-the-saturn-death-cult/stanley-kubrick-and-the-saturn-death-cult/

The Stanley Kubrick Conspiracy - Part 2: Kubrick on the Moon

According to the Clavius website, the first mention of Stanley Kubrick and his possible involvement with the Apollo cover-up appeared in 1995 on the Usenet newsgroup - alt.humor.best-of-usenet. The Clavius group have dedicated themselves to sceptically debunking all notions of an Apollo cover-up (meaning that they are not exactly the most unbiased or objective source of reference material!), however the time frame they refer to does seem to tally. There are no apparent references to Kubrick and the Apollo cover-up before this time period. Using archive.org, I have trawled through archived early-internet pages and cannot (at least not yet) find the original "1995" source of the Kubrick connection. The earliest Usenet item I have been able to find dates from June/July, 1996 and can be found HERE & HERE
 
This item uses (word for word) the text that appears in the article referred to on the Clavius website. I have, therefore, had to unfortunately consider the validity of Clavius’ date reference in their reposting of the article that allegedly kicked-off the Kubrick connection. The article is entitled “Stanley Kubrick and the Moon Hoax”. http://www.clavius.org/bibkubrick.html
Here is a section of the alleged original Usenet article:

“In early 1968, Mr Kubrick was secretly approached by NASA officials who presented him with a lucrative offer to "direct" the first three moon landings. Initially Kubrick declined, as 2001: A Space Odyssey was in post-production at the time, but NASA sweetened the deal by offering to allow Mr Kubrick exclusive access to the alien artefacts and autopsy footage from the Roswell crash site. NASA further leveraged their position by threatening to publicly reveal the heavy involvement of Mr Kubrick's younger brother, Raul, with the American Communist Party. This would have been an intolerable embarrassment to Mr Kubrick, especially since the release of Dr. Strangelove. Kubrick finally relented, and for sixteen months he and a special effects team led by Douglas Trumbull worked in a specially-built sound stage in Huntsville, Alabama, "creating" the first and second moon landings. This effort resulted in hundreds of hours of 35 mm and video "footage" of the Apollo 11 and 12 moon missions.” http://www.clavius.org/bibkubrick.html

The article claims that astronauts were launched via the Saturn V rocket into Earth orbit for several days and then returned on schedule. Meanwhile, Kubrick's footage was “broadcast” as the “live from the Moon” images. Kubrick allegedly did the same with Apollo 12, but declined to work on Apollo 13. The article claims that a “director” called “Randall Cunningham” was responsible for Apollo 13. In an article entitled “Lunar Lunacy”, Colette Bancroft made an astute and slightly amusing observation: “Randall Cunningham. Never heard of him, can't find him on the Internet Movie Database, but . . . sounds like Richie Cunningham . . . who was played by Ron Howard, who directed Apollo 13… the 1995 movie, not the 1970 mission. I think.” http://www.sptimes.com/2002/09/29/Floridian/Lunar_lunacy.shtml
 

There are some clear flaws in the “Stanley Kubrick and the Moon Hoax” article. For starters, Kubrick never had a brother called “Raul” (let alone one who was involved with the American Communist Party.) It is interesting that those researchers who were the earliest to begin discussing the Kubrick paradigm, also cited this “brother Raul” – indicating that they may have read this early article. Fortunately, most of these researchers quickly became aware of the non-existence of “Raul” and ceased referring to this aspect. However, it is still slightly worrying that certain researchers cited this as factual, before taking the time to evidentially prove or disprove the claim. I am also a little wary of the reasons cited for Kubrick’s involvement (access to extraterrestrial artefacts). If Kubrick did participate in a cover-up, it is much more plausible that he was granted carte blanche to direct however and whatever he wanted (with full studio backing, financing, promotion, etc.) for the rest of his career– which is exactly what he did, at least until his final film anyway.
 
Interestingly, Wikipedia has a page dedicated to debunking “conspiracy theories about the Moon landing”, with a section highlighting the Kubrick connection. The page cites the “Stanley Kubrick and the Moon Hoax” article as the probable origin of the Kubrick connection. The page also notes that the article has since “been quoted as in earnest by Clyde Lewis.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing_conspiracy_theories
 
 It is odd that Wikipedia cite this individual alone and nobody else. Why? Clyde Lewis (born Louis Clyde Holder) is a peculiar character. He has championed his self-styled “conspiracy theorist” personae with all the grace and solemnity of a game show host. He has also had a long-standing connection with a number of individuals in the mainstream media / entertainment industry. To my mind, he raises some of the serious concerns that I have about other similarly high-profile figures in the alternative knowledge arena (such as Alex Jones), leading me to suspect that Lewis may be an agenda-steered purveyor of disinformation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyde_Lewis & http://www.groundzeromedia.org/
 
Lewis appears to have been one of the first individuals to publicly state that Kubrick was involved in the Apollo 11 cover-up. He was also one of the earliest people to use direct quotes from the “Stanley Kubrick and the Moon Hoax” article. This has prompted some people to suggest that Lewis himself may have authored the original article. If this is the case, then it is possible (emphasis on that word!) that Lewis is the original source of the “Kubrick faked the Apollo footage” hypothesis – a disturbing thought!

In October 2002, the William Karel directed “Dark Side of the Moon” mockumentary film was aired on French TV channel Arte. The film “seemingly” supported the idea that the television footage of the Apollo 11 “Moon landing” was faked and recorded in a studio by the CIA, with help from Stanley Kubrick. The film included “interviews” with notable agenda players such as Donald Rumsfeld, Henry Kissinger, Alexander Haig, Vernon Walters and Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin. http://www.checktheevidence.com/video/Dark%20Side%20of%20the%20Moon.wmv

However, investigation of these interviews revealed that they were actually carefully edited from existing interviews that had no connection to Kubrick or the faking of the Apollo 11 footage.

The official presentation of the film says: “Filmmaker William Karel pursues his reflection on the relation of the United States with image, cinema and their capacity to produce ‘show’. What other story can lend itself to such an examination but the space conquest, a war of image and show more than anything else. What if it was just a huge hoax initiated by the two great powers? Between lies and truths, this film mixes actual facts and others, completely trumped-up. Playing with irony and lie, its purpose is to entertain and raise the question of the use of archive, which can be made to tell whatever you want.” http://www.pointdujour-international.com/catalogueFiche.php?lang=fr&action=setcookie&alpha=&typeAlpha=&rub=0&idFiche=20965&projet=

Whatever one makes of the mockumentary, there is a certain irony to this exercise in contextual dissembling – given that it is something the mainstream media appears to do on a daily basis. Tellingly, the film exercises techniques that have been the hallmark of certain media psyops – such as the 1938 “War of the Worlds” broadcast.

It is curious that the film also contains interviews with Kubrick’s widow Christiane – who discusses the Kubrick / Apollo connection in a far more “realistic” context than the other featured interviews. We really do need to ask why she became involved. The most interesting and detailed parts of the film are contained in her interviews. If, as some people have suggested, the film was a CIA exercise in debunking, was Christiane a willing and witting participant? If she was referring to something other than the Apollo hoax and the footage was used out of context, I would like to know what she was actually referring to…


The “Stanley Kubrick and the Moon Hoax” article and the “Dark Side of the Moon” mockumentary may suggest that the whole Kubrick / Apollo connection has been orchestrated as a metaphorical “wind-up” or practical joke. If this is true, the joke would have to have had a gestation period of decades before coming to fruition. There appears to be no mention of it until the last five years of Kubrick’s life and yet the “clues” always seemed to be there. Was Christiane Kubrick complicit with this by taking part in the “Dark Side of the Moon” mockumentary? Was Stanley Kubrick “seeding the clues” (over several decades) to a complex and sick prank, rather than revealing his involvement? Whilst I tend to doubt that Kubrick was complicit in a career spanning elaborate practical joke, we cannot fully discount the possibility.

There are worrying indications that Kubrick was at least partial to this way of thinking. Kubrick had a number of doppelgangers. However, he and his family always maintained that they were unsanctioned. One such individual was Alan Conway. He “became known for impersonating the film director Stanley Kubrick. Conway and his wife were travel agents with offices in Harrow, Muswel Hill and London… Kubrick's lawyer found out that there was someone impersonating him and, when he informed Kubrick of the impostor, Kubrick was said to be fascinated by the idea. Stanley Kubrick's wife, Christiane, was less taken with the idea, as she later reflected ‘It was an absolute nightmare. (There was) this strange doppelganger who was pretending to be Stanley. Can you imagine the horror?’” Apparently he wasn’t a very good impersonator though! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Conway

The “Stanley Kubrick and the Moon Hoax” article and the “Dark Side of the Moon” mockumentary have done much to muddle the notion of Kubrick’s possible involvement in the Apollo cover-up. If Kubrick’s involvement was real, then these pieces are certainly convenient for those agenda players wishing to prevent researchers from getting too close to the truth.


As a bizarre postscript to this blog article, I feel it is worth mentioning the theory that “2001: A Space Odyssey” was also utilised as part of the agenda-driven drug related counter-culture of the late 1960s. It is important to note that this phenomenon has a clear overlap with the work of NASA and the state-sponsored mind control paradigm (respectively).

Kubrick certainly had contact with a number of the agenda players within this scene. For example, Alfred Hubbard (who allegedly introduced Kubrick to LSD) was a key player within the CIA’s LSD distribution network. It is also curious that members of the 60s counter-culture began experiencing incredible highs through a combination of watching the “Stargate” finale sequence of “2001: A Space Odyssey” and a generous supply of LSD! Viewing figures allegedly skyrocketed, following this “revelation”, prompting theatres to repackage the film with the tagline: “The Ultimate Trip”. The tag has remained with the film till this day.

Another related theory surrounds the connections between Kubrick and the psychedelic, trippy tunes of progressive rockers Pink Floyd. There is an apparent correlation between the track “Echoes” (taken from their 1971 album “Meddle”) and the Stargate sequence in that they are both 23 minutes long, and changes in the music seem to follow changes in the images. However, despite claims that Kubrick made the film with Floyd’s music in mind, it is obvious that the band were still in their Syd Barrett / “See Emily Play” / “Arnold Layne” phase at this point and had yet to experiment with album-spanning, audio operas. It is entirely possible that the band was inspired by “2001: A Space Odyssey” and designed “Meddle” to fit the “Stargate” sequence, after the fact.


 

Roger Waters (bass player and key songwriter with Pink Floyd) revealed a significant connection with Kubrick when recording his later solo album “Amused to Death”. The album (released in 1992) was inspired by the book “Amusing Ourselves to Death”, an excellent work by Neil Postman that observed the dark nature of the mainstream television media. The album also featured scathing criticisms of the first Gulf War and George Bush Senior.

Waters stated in an interview with Rockline on 8 February 1993 that he wanted to use samples of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey on the album. Stanley Kubrick, the director, turned him down on the basis that it would open the door to many other people using the sound sample. Others think that Kubrick refused because Pink Floyd had not allowed him to use music from Atom Heart Mother in his film A Clockwork Orange… There is a backmasked message on Amused to Death that appears in the song "Perfect Sense Part 1", in which Waters' backmasked voice says, ‘Julia, however, in light and visions of the issues of Stanley, we have changed our minds. We have decided to include a backward message, Stanley, for you and all the other book burners.’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amused_to_Death

Waters has had a long fascination with the larger agenda scope and certain esoteric issues. I have always found it curious that Floyd’s classic album “Dark Side of the Moon” (A “Moon” nod to Kubrick maybe!?) synchronises so well with the esoterically crucial film “The Wizard of Oz”. The person accredited with “discovering” this synchronicity described how "I have never said that I sat down and synchronized the whole movie before this. I've merely stated that back in 1979, when I was in high school, I fell asleep with Dark Side on the turntable, playing side two continuously. When I woke up, The Wizard of Oz was on TV — the Scarecrow was dancing that insane dance while the album was playing 'The lunatic is on the grass.' It was the funniest damn thing I had ever seen." http://weeklywire.com/ww/07-21-97/slc_scene.html

Just who is the identity of this person who allegedly “discovered” the now infamous mash-up of Floyd and Oz? Why, none other than the previously mentioned Clyde Lewis! The man who some believe kicked-off the whole Kubrick / Apollo 11 connection. What are the odds of that, eh!?

In Part 3, I will look at some of the more curious connections between Kubrick and the Apollo cover-up.
Stay tuned!

The LOST Conspiracy - Part 3

Continued from Part 2...
 
Room 23
One of the more curious moments in “Lost” is the scene where we witness the technology created by The Dharma Initiative used to carry out experiments in mind control and subliminal messaging. The scene where Karl is strapped to the chair is reminiscent of Alex’s conditioning in “A Clockwork Orange”. Images are flashes rapidly across a large screen. These include: the masonic compass and set square, black and white piano keys, one eye and a pair of red lips, a face with two tears on each cheek, a Buddha statue, several images of dolls, a red and black square grid pattern, images of stars and galaxies, a partially eclipsed moon, some fish, a nest, an insect, a swirling pattern with an ‘S’ in the centre, a pendant with an eye painted on it, cogs and gears, a staircase, a totem with eyes shaped like an owls, a factory and some fireworks going off. The on screen messages include: “plant a seed and you will joyfully gather fruit”, “everything changes”, “we are the cause of our own suffering”, “think about your life” and “God loves you as he loved Jacob.”


Oz and Alice
In keeping with the Disney aspects of “Lost”, two stories are referenced regularly in the show – “The Wizard of Oz” and “Alice in Wonderland.” Both have mind control relevance either as part of the programming or a source of “triggers.” In an early episode, Charlie says, “every trip needs a coward” (cowardly lion.) A later episode has a conversation where John Locke says to Benjamin Linus, “you are the man behind the curtain, the Wizard of Oz… and you’re a liar.” It is curious that Ben is initially introduced under the alias “Henry Gale” who crashed on the island in a balloon. Henry Gale and the balloon are directly lifted from Oz. Ben’s flashback episode is entitled “The Man behind the Curtain.”



There are several occurrences of the phrase “over the rainbow” and (during a latter episode) Hurley and Sayid sit awaiting food outside the “Rainbow Drive-In”. The neon sign has a huge rainbow above it. In a key episode involving Desmond’s flashback/time travel experience, a man is crushed by falling debris leaving his red shoed feet (ruby slippers) sticking out the rubble.


As for “Alice”, episode titles include: “White Rabbit” and “Through the Looking Glass.” The first discovered Dharma Hatch is called “The Swan” (Queen of Heart’s court) and the season one cliff-hanger moment of decent into the hatch is described as “going down the rabbit-hole.” White Rabbits are liberally seen throughout. A white rabbit used by a magician in the old folk’s home that Jack visits to see his Granddad, a white rabbit garden ornament is visible in Miles’ flashback, and there are white rabbits in cages in the lab where Charles Widmore carries out his “EM/reality” experiment on Desmond. The Dharma Initiative uses them in “time travel” experiments and the same rabbits appear in their “orientation” (programming) films. Another Dharma Station is called “The Looking Glass” and has a rabbit on its logo. A poster and album cover from the band “Geronimo Jackson” (who are referenced heavily in the show) have white rabbits in the artwork.

 

In Ben’s first flashback episode, he uses a white rabbit to test the sonic fence surrounding the Dharma Barracks. Once he knows it is safe to pass through, he wanders into the unknown – metaphorically “down the rabbit hole”. He is drawn into the wilderness by a vision of his dead mother – blonde hair, blue/white dress and headband (the classic image of “Alice”.)In a flash-forward episode, Jack reads a section from “Alice” to Aaron as a bedtime story. Quote: “If I’m not the same, the next question is who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” Jack reveals that he was read to as a child (from “Alice”) by his dad. The poster on the back of Aaron’s bedroom door is the suited white rabbit from Alice.

 

Energy

There are some strange reality-bending occurrences when several characters discover “The Orchid” Dharma Station. Make of this what you will! It is the sixth of six stations. The orientation video shows Dr. Edgar Halliwax (another character appearing under several aliases) holding a white rabbit. In various viral promotional videos for Lost, the white rabbit was seen to “jump through time”. The rabbit has a number “15” painted on his side. The station contains an energy chamber nicknamed “The Vault”. Quote: “This is the vault, constructed adjacent to a pocket of what we believe to be negatively charged exotic matter. Great care must be taken to avoid leaving inorganic materials inside the chamber. The electromagnetic field within the island can be highly volatile and unpredictable. Now, for your own safety and the safety of those around you, metallic objects must never be placed within the vault. In our first demonstration, we will attempt to shift the test subject (the rabbit) 100 milliseconds ahead in four dimensional spaces. For the briefest of moments the animal will seem to disappear, but in reality…”
 

The notion of energy is addressed but never in any great depth in “Lost”. “The Lamppost” Dharma Station sits on top of a pocket of EM energy which is linked to other such points on the Earth (Earth Chakra Points? Leylines?) The island moves location according to a pattern. The two EM rings, between which Desmond is reluctantly strapped, look like Stargates (tying into theories of a connection between energy and Egyptian mythology.)
 
The code to deactivate the “Looking Glass” signal jammer is the musical notation of “Good Vibrations” by The Beach Boys. The character of Daniel Faraday was named as such (by the producers) as a nod to “the godfather of electromagnetic science”, Michael Faraday. Daniel’s mother, Eloise Hawking (named after Stephen Hawking) wears an “ouroboros” pendant and purple shawl during a flashback. An EM pulse emitted from the imploding “Swan Hatch” creates a Purple Haze in the sky above the island. In studying the relevance of various colours, Purple crops up quite a bit and is often (in fiction) associated with energy and/or the “shadow of death”. There is also the “hidden map”, visible under ultra violet light during a “lockdown” of “The Swan” Station.

One of Dharma Orientation films explains that The Initiative was established to carry out research into “meteorology, psychology, parapsychology and zoology, electromagnetism and utopian social ideals.” The island has access to unlimited energy and The Dharma Initiative wants to use it to manipulate time.
 
Literature
The producers freely admit to their liberal referencing of “The Wizard of Oz”, “Alice in Wonderland” and “Lord of the Flies” (which appears in an episode) – specifically the “unseen monster” and the “civilised vs. savage” dynamic. References to other works of literature appear throughout. The producers state that Stephen King’s “The Stand” was a huge influence in creating Lost. Other books seen onscreen (and referenced) include “Watership Down” by Richard Adams (rabbits!), “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L'Engle , “A Turn of the Screw” by Henry James, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce (Masonic Owl), “The Brothers Karamazov” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, “Lancelot” by Walker Percy, “Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret” by Judy Blume, “Carrie” by Stephen King (One of Juliet’s book club readers ‘Adam’ says about Carrie, “It’s not even literature… there’s no metaphor. It’s religious hokum pokum. Its science fiction!”), “A Brief History of Time” by Stephen Hawking (The Royal Society & Freemasonry), “Our Mutual Friend” by Charles Dickens, “Laughter In The Dark” by Vladimir Nabokov, “Catch 22” by Joseph Heller, “Valis” by Philip K Dick, “The Survivors of the Chancellor” by Jules Verne, “The Shape of Things to Come” by H. G. Wells (alleged New World Order agendas), “A Separate Reality” by Carlos Castaneda, “Ulysses” by James Joyce, “Everything That Rises Must Converge” By Flannery O’Connor, “Y: The Last Man” by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand, and a “fictional” work of literature called “Bad Twin” (mind control alters, perceptions of reality.) On Michael Dawson’s TV (as he attempts suicide) is the quiz show “Hollywood Squares”. The question is inaudible; however the correct answer is “Kurt Vonnegut”. Vonnegut’s literature is significant in esoteric research. “The Third Policeman” (by Flann O'Brien) with the ultimate revelation that the main character is actually dead, is seen and also played a part in the origins of “Lost.” This tapped into the “purgatory zeitgeist” according to Carlton Cuse.
  

Religion
The purgatory theme was utilised by the producers as a red herring to misdirected viewers who sought a deeper meaning from “Lost.” There are numerous religious themes throughout including: Virgin Mary statues (containing Heroin!), “The 23rd Psalm” (also an episode title), Mr Eko being a priest, Charlie once being a devout Catholic, Desmond training to be a priest, the notion of “man of science, man of faith” (also an episode title), “lift up your eyes and look north”, Jacob’s ability to grant people the desire to have “life eternal”, and the underlying significance of the name “Jacob”. The origin story of Jacob and his rival brother, the “man in black”, has religious connotations. Themes of light versus dark intertwined with protecting the island – which is revealed to be “a cork designed to keep evil and malevolence bottled up and prevent it from spreading.” A spring of water is revealed to be (Quote) “the source… life, death, rebirth… a little of this light is in every man, but they always want more.” (Jacob’s Mother)
 
In early episodes dealing with the character of Hurley, he says that he believes that the island isn’t real and that his life off the island is the “real world.” In the flash forward episodes, Hurley says that the “Oceanic Six” (another “six”!) survivors are all dead and never got off the island. Sawyer and Juliet refer to leaving the island as “returning to the real world.” Quote: “It’s not real. We’re only puppets. Puppets on strings” (Locke) “We are stuck in a bloody snow globe!” (Desmond) This also links into themes of perceived reality and, by extension, the exploited zeitgeist used by purveyors of the aforementioned trauma based mind control phenomenon.
 
The survivors are frequently visited by dead people (a la “The Sixth Sense” – also made by Disney) and often refer to “miracles” as having occurred on the island. The idea of limbo and “being judged by the island” for past deeds played into the early days of “Lost.” The show’s large fan base loved to ruminate about “the meaning” of it all, and speculation that the island was “purgatory” became very popular. The producers utilised this later in the series when Locke’s dad says that they are in “hell”, as does the never-aging character Richard Alpert. In “Exodus”, Sun says to Shannon, “do you think all this… all we’ve been through… do you think we are being punished… the things we did before, the secrets we kept, the lies we told?” Shannon asks, “Who do you think is punishing us?” Sun replies, “Fate.”
 
One World Religion
The final card played in the “Lost” saga was a contrived (once again) reality bending series of “sideways” narrative flashes. Many believed these to be snapshots of an alternative reality where the plane crash never took place. In reality it turned out to be some afterlife, wishy-washy, new world order, and one religion/global religion propaganda. The clues should have been apparent all along. However, they were hammered home in the final episode with the return of Jack’s father, the misleadingly named “Christian Shephard”. Jack is lead into the back room of a church containing a Buddha statue, a Holy Cross, a Menorah, etc. The stained glass window has all the major symbols of “faith” – an ecumenical “new world, new age religion.” Christian says, “this is the place that you all made together so that you could find one another…There is no ‘now’ here.” With that, all the characters reunite together, laughing and smiling together, basking in the light shining through the symbols on the glass.

Personally, I have nothing against religious beliefs existing side by side and believe that those who have such “faiths” should also practice tolerance. However, I have come to understand that “religion”, as a concept, generally exists as a construct of engineered consent. The greater plan, of those involved with hidden global agendas, most likely includes step to bring various faiths under an umbrella, one world religion… and probably not for the betterment of mankind. Given that “Lost” is a product of Disney, and that Disney allies itself with many of the agenda players, I am extremely sceptical and cautious of the ultimate message that “Lost” portrays.

Conclusions
The truly disturbing thing about “Lost” is not the ending though. It is, rather, the way in which it swept up a huge swathe of fans. Remember the days when “The X-Files” took over the world and slightly opened a crack in the door to larger perspectives?  “Lost” took that door and firmly slammed it shut.  There should (or could) have been something rather revelatory within the framework of the show. On the occasions when it touched upon some of the energy concepts, it could have served to enlighten its audience: directed free energy concepts, existential life-force energy, and so on.  However, most of this was largely discarded or remained unexplored by the end of its run. What did remain was consistent with the way the mainstream media safely “fictionalises” and “muddles” these concepts. Again, this should ultimately come as no surprise to anyone with a passing knowledge of Disney’s track record and shadier past associations.

In typical fashion, the hypnotic power of theme and symbolism played its usual role… only in this case it surpassed expectations and signalled the direction forward for 21st century entertainment drama. The show had secured its place in history. Yes, the viewing figures declined in later seasons… but by then the damage was done.
Despite having delusions of science fiction, the premise killed off the last few pure science fiction shows on TV… shows that might have said something worth listening. All that remains now is style over substance and lashings of fantasy, masonic symbolism and occult tendencies. Today, all US (and Western World) drama output follows the “Lost” model in some form. This is the legacy of the show… that and a very secure financial future for “The JJ Brigade”. They got their hands on Star Trek, played in Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg’s sand box, created a load of hollow franchises, and now they’ve got their hands on Star Wars. I dread to think what they’re capable of next….

Until next time,
