"V for Vendetta" is my all time favorite movie for its allegorical implications which, as you noted, were prescient. It is one of the few DVDs I own and I rewatch it frequently.

I'd like to share, if I may, another classic, the Eagles' song "Welcome to the Hotel California" with completely rewritten lyrics (relevant to your paragraphs on Fauci's fear mongering) to be about the pandemic. It's called, "Welcome to the Hotel Paranoia."

...

On the great reset highway, fools’ words in my ear

Warm smell of infection, rising up through the fear

Up ahead in the future, I saw a frightening sight

My health grew heavy and my rights grew dim

I got locked down for the night

“Show passports at the doorway,”

I heard the armed guards tell

And I was thinking to myself,

“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”

Then they brought out the needles and they boosted away

There were voices from the monitor,

I thought I heard them say…

Welcome to the Hotel Paranoia

Such an ugly place (Such an ugly place)

So just mask your face

Plenty of doom at the Hotel Paranoia

Any kind of fear (Any kind of fear)

You can find it here

The news is definitely twisted toward propagandic ends

They got a lot of pretty newsman boys they call friends

How they lie in the courthouse, hyping the threat.

Some lie to remember, some lie to forget

So I called up the doctor,

“Please help me feel fine”

He said, “We haven’t showed that spirit here since nineteen twenty nine”

And so our choice is falling so far away,

Taken out in the middle of the night

Then you hear them say…

Welcome to the Hotel Paranoia

Such an ugly place (Such an ugly place)

So just mask your face

The living will die at the Hotel Paranoia

What a big surprise (not a nice surprise)

Right before your eyes.

Fear’s up to the ceiling,

They keep vaccine on ice

“Sure,” we said, “we are all just listeners here, on our own device”

And in Big Pharma’s boardrooms,

They gathered for the feast

They profit from our sickly lives

And they just can’t care the least

Last thing I remember, I was

Lying on the floor

I couldn’t get the message back

To the way it was before

“React,” said the fright man,

“We are programmed to deceive.

You can fact check any time you like,

But you will not believe.”

...

You may listen to the audio version of this song on Dr. Robert Malone's substack where he featured it several years ago: https://www.malone.news/p/sunday-strip-467

Hadn't heard that. Fantastic. We spoke out, refused masks and the jab and argued with our doctors about them. They refused to see my wife for a post cancer meet, so she wore a reflective full face ski mask. Nurse said it frightened her. My wife - "Yeah, well.."

Yes, the rewrite of "Sound of Silence" is indeed masterful and to the point. Final stanza:

And the people bowed and prayed

To the CoVid god they made

And the Science shouted its warning

In the findings that it was forming

And I found that "The words of the prophets are written in Substack mail and Twitter jail, and echo against the silence.

Gave me goosebumps! So sad. I wanted to punch the computer when Fraudchi was shown. What a pos! FYI - you can find it on bitchute if you wanted to download it. I'm really surprised it hasn't been taken down for some bs inspired hatred or something ridiculous.

Religions use terror to control the congregants. Even Paul said if an angel disagrees with him basically to hell with him. Parents often control children through fear. Humans are really susceptible to fear memes. We need to start fighting back against fear as a control tactic in every sphere, religion included.

Maybe your religion does, not mine. You speak for yourself.

Many religions, I know I am not wrong on that, I have studied enough of them - good for you that you have found one that does not include the psychology of fear.

The Bible repeatedly says “FEAR NOT”

Yes, yet a good friend last Sunday told me how he feared for the soul of someone we knew who died out of the blue from a heart attack, because as a Catholic he won't enter heaven, as Catholics are not considered Christians in his religion. These are the types of teachings that are harmful.

Watch closely the reaction when you confront, challenge religion, belief.

Concerning, isn’t it?

Expand full comment

I didn't challenge any specific religion, mind you I remember well being terrorized and punched actually, by the nuns at the Convent I attended. I have heard Pastors call Muslims evil, and the Pope the anti-Christ, yet they are so defensive when it comes to their own one true religion whatever it maybe. A bit of study into evolutionary biology would explain a lot, but it would also mean losing psychological lifelines, and that is a big ask. People are entitled to believe what they want, unfortunately many discriminate due to their beliefs and they behave in elitist ways, which includes coercion often enough. Historically the fear of damnation came to the fore during America's First Great Awakening. Preachers such as Whitfield frightened congregants with hell fire imagery. The sermons promoting hell and damnation continues to sway some teachings today, I won't say which, so as not to point a finger at a specific religion local or foreign, but it is a thing.

Fear of God is the only rational fear to have, and if this makes you worried then take a look at my take on Elons latests interview with Joe Rogan.

I think that is true for the person who believes that.

you are not afraid of lies? Well I am, and love for God is the same as love for the Truth, fear of God is the same as fear of lies. If you are not afraid of lies you may very well be a victim of those. Read what Elon has in store for you, if you are shocked by the reality around you...this may be a good read for you.

I like the book because of the details not covered in the movie.

I read it once a year or more and just finished it again yesterday.

Gaddafi was most likely killed because of his plan to switch to a gold backed currency which would have propelled the gold rich africa into a new golden era. Pun intended.

And you should know better than to trust random celebrities on the news and television. Nobody gets repeated coverage by accident.

Finally, thank you for the film recommendation, I will watch it.

However, in real life it is not enough to stage a revolution. Everyone should know by now how easy it is to infiltrate and subvert such movements.

The moment that such an event happens, a revolutionary movement will be founded by the very group it is allegedly fighting. They will use this to lead the revolution against themselves and then re-establish power under the guise of a people's government.

There is only one true way to improve the system, and that is to improve its members.

Even if Trump wins, the Nov 5 warning won't become obsolete overnight. In the final analysis, I don't think the R's are any better than the D's. The "look in the mirror" admonition will remain, ie, its up to us.

V is for Violence! At the Ellsworth Bomber Air Force Base in South Dakota they have on display at the outdoor Air Museum the B52 bomber that took out Gaddafi. Proudly extolling the achievement accomplished by the Air Force Maintenance crew getting the plane ready for it's last flight because of age. The plane flight was dedicated to Hillary Clinton. Recently, a money guy stated that Gaddafi wanted to have South African countries pay him in GOLD rather than the US dollar. Was that the real reason he was taken out? How about Saddam Hussein being taken out in Iraq. When 19 of the 20, 9/11 bombers were from Saudi Arabia. How about Benghazi State Department Consulate being taken out because they didn't get the marines they requested. Why? Cover up of a HC mistake? Under Biden we have the Ukraine fiasco and the Israeli fiasco. Moving closer to WWIII daily. Trump loses it will accelerate. No matter who wins, will there be chaos? My thoughts. Pray for peace!

Yes, the banksters will not allow a return to true money. The whole rotten game is predicated on governments borrowing fiat currency printed out of thin air and the banks collect interest on worthless paper money which they probably convert to gold. If fiat currency were eliminated, no more wars could be financed.

If you like "movies", this guy breaks down one that will likely come to pass after this election. He's pretty good at breaking things down for people to understand.

I had a long time patient who was a college music professor who told me he was “ disappointed “ that I hadn’t had the vax. His “expert” source was a daughter in law nurse practitioner. He asked me why, and I responded that I knew more than him( something I would never ordinarily say), after hundreds of hours of reading and investigation, as well as personal experiences with patients’ adverse reactions. I never pushed my opinion on my patients, but also gave them an honest assessment if they asked.

A magnificent article, which I will print to read at more leisure when I get home at the end of the week. My wife and I, both lifelong dissidents, watched it not long after its release. Bowled over. I watched it again some months back, Covid and all that has happened since prompting me to do so. Same reaction. And as a true born freedom loving Englishman, it speaks loudly to me.

I'm currently on a week's retreat at the Benedictine Monastery at Buckfast, on the edge of Dartmoor. There will be no bonfire here! Or indeed in my home village, on of a number of old RC enclaves in Somerset.

Praying for a Trump victory. Harris and Starmer are both emissaries from hell.

Doc, I'm SOOOO glad you give so much attention to the movie, "V for Vendetta", for I've been saying for years that it has just as important a message as other "telling" movies like "The Matrix" and "1984", if not a more important one, and I've suggested to people who left it out of lists that they should add it because of its importance. I don't know how the movie got approved considering its "1984" theme, and how it got past, and wasn't stopped by, "Hollyweird" and "al CIAduh's(!)" control of same, as well as of the prevailing narratives in our society to the exclusion of our founding principles (which the American people have been intentionally dumbed-down about by the global corporate-fascist powers-that-be).

Perhaps the movie was allowed a mainstream platform because the PsTB felt it would have the opposite effect upon audiences, making them more fearful of standing up against the now-prevailing status quo of overthrowing our American liberties, freedoms and rights, and would prevent them from taking their government back from the hands of the totalitarian terrorists who have take over. I know that, like the "Matrix" movies, particularly the first one, the libertarian themes of same don't seem to have had a more profound effect upon audiences to the point of their rising up against the draconian and dystopian polices that have come to predominate since 9/11, now making the U.S. unrecognizable to those Americans who the dumbing-down process has not been able to be completely effective with.

I believe that the reason the patriotic themes of these films have not been more effective at waking people up and getting them to rise up against the totalitarianism that has taken over, speaks to how effective the totalitarian regime has been at separating the citizenry from their once-cherished, iconic principles of liberty, freedom and rights, and at getting them to voluntarily relinquish them (because they don't know what they're relinquishing, and don't understand the seriousness of the threat of the prevailing totalitarianism). On the other hand, there is no doubt that these masterpieces, particularly "V for Vendetta", have resonated with millions of Americans; thus, hopefully, those masterpiece's themes will come to resonate with more and more Americans, and encourage their saving of our republic and restoring it to a path of freedom and liberty, to the banishment of the overbearing, stifling totalitarianism that is the opposite of liberty and freedom.
