communities…[they are] looking through the spectacles we are setting
astride their noses.” (Protocols of Zion, 12)
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
Movies used to be based on novels. Now they’re based on comic books. Nothing better illustrates the Illuminati goal of infantalizing the human race.
Arrested development is just the first step. The Illuminati use TV & the movies to lift us from our mooring in reality into an occult fantasy world. Political and historical truth are suppressed. Instead the public is fed violence, pornography and the occult, in the guise of horror. Humanity has been inducted into Cabalism, a satanic cult.
As the list below indicates, filmmakers struggle to produce cinematic art. But usually, by some mysterious mechanism, good movies flop making it necessary for artists to sell out to survive.
The story of lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Kevin Spacey leads a brilliant cast that exposes Washington corruption in gripping fashion. This may have failed because Abramoff is Jewish but the film is just as hard on Bible-thumping Congressmen.

8. Ride With the Devil (1999) Gross $635K $38 million production cost RT 63%/62%
Directed by Ang Lee. Starring Toby McGuire, Skeet Ulrich, Mark Ruffalo, Jewel.
The premise of Ride with the Devil is based on the true story of guerrillas who fought against Union troops under the leadership of William Clarke Quantrill. Lee said it described “young people coming of age
in the worst possible time in American history. I liked the theme of
self-emancipation.” (wiki)
9. Kangaroo (1987) Gross $432K
Director: Tim Burstall; Writers: Evan Jones, D.H. Lawrence (based on his novel) Stars: Colin Friels, Judy Davis and John Walton
A mild-mannered English conscientious objector moves to what he feels will be the relative calm of Australia after World War I, but gets caught in the middle of violent battles between the rising trade unions and fascist groups. (wiki)
10. High Art $1.9 m RT 72%/74%
Lisa Cholodenko’s breakthrough movie “High Art” (1998) is one of the best written, best directed and best acted movies I have ever seen. It presents intimacy, albeit lesbian intimacy, more convincingly than 99.9% of heterosexual movies. Performances by Radha Mitchell, Ally Sheedy, Tammy Grimes and especially Patricia Clarkson are superb. I highly recommend this movie.

When I taught philosophy of art for many years, I made Tom Wolfe’s book, The Painted Word, required reading on the financial and other dynamics of abstract art. If you have not read it, you would enjoy it. It apparently makes points similar to the movie Boogie Woogie. Once again, keep up your fantastic work.
