The Hills Have American Eyes?


**Disclaimer: I most certainly am NOT anti-jewish or anti-Semitic or anything like that at all; we're all equally human, believe in whatever religion you want... but this seems a little absurd to me.**

While watching the film "The Hills Have Eyes", a gruesome tale about a family who gets stranded in the desert and are eventually picked off one-by-one and brutally murdered by a town of deformed miners hideously disfigured from the effects of government nuclear testing by the USA, some seemingly insignificant details within the film appeared to be masking a deeper message.

What I first picked up on was the curiously brief flash of a golden Star of David hanging around the neck of the character,  Doug Burkowski, sometime into the movie. It was only then that it clicked in my mind that this character was supposed to be a jewish man who married into this Christian American family. At one point he says that he thinks his wife's parents hate him - as if to imply to the audience that he feels like an outsider.

Throughout the first part of the film Doug is portrayed as weak and incompetent. However, nearing the end of the film, as the others are killed off, we slowly start to see his strengths emerge. We start to see that he might just be the 'hero' - and not the expected father-in-law retired from a career in law enforcement or the teenage son with an affinity for guns. This is where things start to appear to take on a deeper meaning.

Getting closer to the end of the movie, Doug ventures out to find the villains who've brutally murdered his wife & in-laws and stumbles upon the remains of the nuclear test-towns where the mutant killers are living. Poorly armed, he surreptitiously makes his way into the house; cautiously passing a table where a dead man is seated with an American flag stabbed into his head. This may seem like another insignificant detail but I'm already sensing there's more to it than that.

As Doug moves around the house, one of the especially beastly monstrosities attacks him. They battle throughout the ground floor of the house. The big ugly mutant appears to have totally beaten our 'hero' Doug (the jewish man; wearing the Star of David which, keep in mind, also just so happens to appear on the Israeli flag)...  he's on his knees and bleeding while big-ugly puts the gleaming chrome blade of the axe up to Doug's cheek. Dripping with blood and sweat, Doug pants, bleeds, and begs for his life. 

However the sense that Doug is merely feigning weakness is palpable because as big-ugly relaxes for a moment of triumphant laughter, Doug instantly slams a screwdriver right through the foot of the monster, pinning him in place. As the mutant howls in pain and tries to free itself, Doug runs over and grabs (of all things!) the American Flag. He runs back and powerfully plants it in the back of the monsters neck.  As the creature falls to its knees, slowly dying with the American flag protruding from its neck, our jewish friend Doug calmly picks up the axe and cooly finishes him off.

Am I crazy or is some SERIOUS subliminal symbolism suggested here?!

Not quite Synchronicity. But give me a break! Then again, perhaps I'm just stringing purely random, merely coincidental, details together. After all, it's not like Hollywood is owned by jews. (How Jewish is Hollywood?)

American Psychos

In the article "Why Does The World Feel Wrong?" the author compares those who have significant control over society to the clinical definition of a psychopath. This is certainly not the first time I've come accross this comparison and it's an intriguing concept to say the least.

Briefly researching the idea myself, I easily find this checklist from
Minddisorders.com:
"The twenty traits assessed by the PCL-R [Psychopathy Checklist-Revised] score are:
*glib and superficial charm
*grandiose (exaggeratedly high) estimation of self
*need for stimulation
*pathological lying
*cunning and manipulativeness
*lack of remorse or guilt
*shallow affect (superficial emotional responsiveness)
*callousness and lack of empathy
*parasitic lifestyle
*poor behavioral controls
*sexual promiscuity
*early behavior problems
*lack of realistic long-term goals
*impulsivity
*irresponsibility
*failure to accept responsibility for own actions
*many short-term marital relationships
*juvenile delinquency
*revocation of conditional release
*criminal versatility"
Does that list not read like a virtual personality run-down of every corrupt politician, banker, lawmaker, and corporate CEO? The notion that psychopaths are in control of the world may not be as crazy at it initially sounds.

In order to maintain their stranglehold of power, it would likely be of great benefit to the supposed
psychopaths to gain control of their victims, rather their victims impressionable minds, as soon as possible:
"It suggests people like this have control over the levers of power everywhere. We live at a time when the population at large cannot achieve its wants, yet few seem to know why. As one example, polls consistently indicate that educational matters concern the public, yet decade after decade, schooling gets quantitatively worse. What a mystery! Evidently, if we believe our well-meaning masters, 2,000 years of Western civilization has not yet determined effective ways to transmit key knowledge to younger generations. However, what happens if we suspend our belief in their benevolence for a moment and consider other possibilities? If schools fail to achieve their stated goals over several decades, might some groups see this as a success?

Inhibiting critical thinking in the masses obviously benefits the state and psychopaths. When overtly self-serving, irresponsible, illegal, immoral, irrational behavior gets treated as normal, we can conclude that the educational system works quite well for our masters."
America arguably has some of worst schools when compared to the rest of the civilized world and the only logical explanation for this, given that America is one of (if not THE) the richest and most powerful nations in the world, is because it's exactly what the American government has ordered for the general population. 

The government can miraculously bailout Wall Street and the auto industry with billions of dollars literally created from thin air at the expense of the undereducated taxpayer... yet something as important to a peaceful and sustainable society as education somehow continues a downward slide year after year. What a mystery indeed.

So why on Earth would any of our supposed 'leaders' in their right
 mind want to encourage an uneducated, blindly patriotic, population of overweight, pill popping, programmed robo-consumers? Might psychopaths view this as a success?

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Invasion


Watching the 1978 movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" something caught my attention that I found peculiar...

While I'm well aware that this is a fictional movie wherein the human race is being replaced one by one with clones devoid of emotion (that right there should be symbolic enough!), one of the characters says something so 'matter-of-factly' that it was hard for me not to stop and think "wait, what did she just say?":
[Nancy] They could get into us and screw up our genes like DNA, recombine us, change us.

[Elizabeth] Oh, of course! This is the same way those rockets landed years ago so those spacemen could mate with monkeys and create the human race. It's happening now!
After the line, the movie immediately carries on to the next scene without missing a beat or even providing a moment for reflection on the rather bold statement.

I'm definitely not claiming to know how the human race was created; I'm not certain anyone really can. However, a noteworthy amount of supporting evidence exists throughout many different ancient texts and cultures which, in some form or another, all seemingly agree with this basic concept.

I don't believe that the so-called 'spacemen' came here and simply 'mated' with monkeys... but genetic manipulation is certainly plausible, especially if we're talking about a highly advanced civilization (curious how primates have 24 pairs of chromosomes and humans only 23, no?).

Perhaps the 'missing link' isn't missing at all... just absent...

Night Owl


I rarely dream. Well, that is to say that I rarely recall what I dream. Sometimes I wake up and can remember that yes, I did dream that night (and maybe even that it was a really weird dream) but cannot bring back to memory any specifics. Other rare times I can recall specifics of a particular dream but if I do not consciously acknowledge these specifics very shortly after waking, I'll never remember them at all and the dream is lost.


Last night I remember that I dreamed. And of that dream I can only recall two specific moments. The first was trying to pick out a DVD with an ex-girlfriend - I'm not sure if we were renting or buying but we were looking at Disney's "Wall-E". Odd, considering I had wanted to see that film in theaters with that very same ex. We never did and eventually ended our relationship. However that's not the really ODD part.


The second specific I recall is that of 2 owls perched on the western rail of my apartment suite balcony; they were facing to the east. It seems to me that the setting was the present day (ie: winter 2009) and that it was dark out. Evening? Night? Just before dawn? I cannot say. Anyway, I was up for whatever reason and saw them there. This startled and amazed me (inner-city owls?!) and immediately I wanted to get a picture. So I went back and got my phone which, unfortunately for me, is my only decent camera at the moment. When I return 1 owl is gone but the other closest to the building remains. Not wanting to risk startling it and have it fly away, I get my phone's camera up and running and ready before popping my head out to snap the shot. Then I go for it. I stick the phone out and snap the shot. It's decent but kinda blurry and I only got half of him... so I go for another picture... and that's all I remember.


What's REALLY interesting, to me anyway, is that I RARELY recall any dream specifics but I can easily recall these two. Why? Who knows? Maybe these folks do:

"Owl 
To see an owl in your dream, symbolizes wisdom, insight and virtue. The owl is also synonymous with death and darkness.


To hear the hoot of an owl, denotes disappointments and forewarns that death creeps closely in the wake of joy and health.


To see a dead owl, signifies a narrow escape from desperate illness and death. Death in this sense may also represent a symbolic death, as in an important transition in life."

Owl

"Wisdom, outstanding vision, ability to see what others have difficulty seeing. Dreaming of this animal can represent:

  • Having too much of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being less this way
  • Not having enough of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being more like this
  • Someone or something in your real life with whom you associate one of these qualities (an event, situation, threat, etc.)


For more clues, pay attention to what the animal was doing or any particular characteristic that stood out.See also:  night  bird"

"Owl

To hear the solemn, unearthly sound of the muffled voice of the owl, warns dreamers that death creeps closely in the wake of health and joy. Precaution should be taken that life is not ruthlessly exposed to his unyielding grasp. Bad tidings of the absent will surely follow this dream.


To see a dead owl, denotes a narrow escape from desperate illness or death.


To see an owl, foretells that you will be secretly maligned and be in danger from enemies.


Screech-owl

To dream that you hear the shrill startling notes of the screech-owl, denotes that you will be shocked with news of the desperate illness, or death of some dear friend."

"Owl Dream Meaning

Psychological Meaning: An owl may symbolise the wisdom that is gained from the nocturnal world of the unconscious.


Mystical Meaning: Superstition says that this is a melancholy dream predicting sadness, poverty and sometimes disgrace."

As a side-note I'd like to add that the owls never did anything but sit on the balcony rail facing east. They made no sound and I never saw them move. It was when I returned from getting my phone that one had simply vanished. Maybe it was never there in the first place? But it felt to me like there were two and one left for some reason. So very strange...

Livin' on the Edge

Another excerpt from Earth's Forbidden Secrets by Maxwell Igan

Chapter 13: The Grand Deception

"Facts are stupid things..." Former US President, Ronald Regan

We have discussed ancient texts and we have seen an abundance of evidence to support them, and still we have only really scratched the surface. Some of the conclusions have staggering implications for mankind and yet the information is being disregarded. Is there indeed a 'Global Conspiracy' in place to keep this information out of the public eye? Such things are invariably denied but before we continue on our quest we will put the puzzle aside for a brief moment to discuss this phenomenon.

Naturally, and as I previously stated, I'm well aware that whenever anyone mentions the word conspiracy in our modern and supposedly free society, especially in regard to the Government, or the Scientific or Academic communities they are sure to attract a storm of criticism. They are of course, always at the ready to discredit anyone suggesting such an idea and create a media circus around them to distract any attention away from the actual point they're trying to make. 

In these cases it is always a good rule of thumb to be wary of anyone who relies on invoking their academic credentials to support their case because it invariably means that they have no valid arguments of their own to present to the table so they can only resort to waving credentials and launching personal attacks in such a way that it allows them to ignore the actual evidence that is being presented. 

Of course the media is only too happy to back them up and publicize the 'tasty bits' too if need be. As briefly discussed in the first chapter, conspiracies actually do happen quite often and in the case of our history, the evidence of an entirely different course of events is now simply far too overwhelming to just be dismissed. The irony of it all is that most of it is right out in plain view. 

The good news is that the participants in the conspiracy to keep the facts suppressed are quite obvious and their overall plan and daily tactics become predictable and transparent once you have acquired the necessary skills to spot them, though it's not always easy to penetrate the smokescreen of propaganda and disinformation to get to the real agenda hidden beneath. 

However the bad news is that the conspiracy is Global and there are some very big players involved who have worked very hard to get the current academic mindset deeply ingrained in our psyche. Of course the Persian Gulf region has been kept a war zone for so long now that it's kind of hard to get in there to do much more investigation. Perhaps after they have bombed all trace of any ancient ruins out of existence they will let people back in to investigate.

In the meantime our governments seem to work very hard to provide as many distractions in people's daily lives as they can. This is because if you can keep the population living on the edge all the time they end up so caught up with the rigors of daily modern life, getting to work, paying the bills, looking out for the kids, worrying about the economy, the college fund, the groceries, the neighbors, terrorists, God, taxes, fine print, the environment and keeping up with the Jones, they don't really notice or even often care about looking at the bigger picture to see what's going on all around them, let alone in what may have happened in the past.
