Ludovico Technique

After the Academy Awards last Sunday, I felt the need to comment on the hypocritical nature of what was presented with regard to diversity and how the elephant in the room was exploited to the point of annoyance. A few jokes to identify the problem that was raised about racial divides would have been enough to satiate those who claimed Hollywood is too white. The awkwardness was very thick; so thick you could have cut it with a knife and still have layers that wouldn’t have been touched.

Hollywood has never really been all that subtle.

There have been so many insiders who have left the business because of the behind the scenes abuses, drugs, sex cliques, and occult connections to the industry. These things are not “anomalies” in the industry – they are standard.

There are many people who observe from the sidelines that Hollywood, desperate for money and seats filled at the theater are literally bringing ritual and psychological alchemy to the screen.

The idea of the “revelation of the method” or predictive programming has been a favorite topic with theorists that use synchronicity and coincidental or even intentional fore-structuring is proof that those who are in charge of producing our entertainment are not only entertaining us, but are manipulating us and showing us approximated futures that the elite plan to carry out.

It is a conditioning and programming process that is used, and it has its roots in occult alchemy.

In 1975, Christopher Lee, the British actor well known for his roles in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, gave an interview about his first roles like Dracula, in The Satanic Rites of Dracula, The Wicker Man, and the Devil’s Bride.

In the interview, Lee is very candid about how the occult plaid an intricate part in a lot of the films he appeared in.

Lee is animate that Black Magic is real and that it is an effective way to manipulate and control the mind. In fact just prior to his death in June of 2015 he was asked about his role as the evil Saruman the White in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. After saying that he actually was the Only cast member to meet J.R.R Tolkien , he gave an emphatic warning about the use of black magic and occult practices whether in film or in real life assuring the dark forces of the occult will induce madness, as well as loss of soul.

In Voodoo, there is the old myth that the devil appears at the crossroads, when summoned and as we now are learning his power can also be conveyed through the crossroads of some films. Especially when those in control of making the film use exploitation of human appetites as a way to manipulate and groom their audience to accept and expect some conjured future, or corruptible present.

There have been many depictions of images used as mind control tools in movies like, The Parallax View and the aversion therapy experiment called the “Ludovico Technique” in Stanley Kubrick’s, Clockwork Orange.

In the film, the ultra-violent Alex is forced to undergo an extreme experiment in which he would spend days watching films depicting one violent scene after another, without a storyline to give it meaning or a reason. To make sure he did not look away when tired, he was strapped to the seat with a straight jacket and his eyelids were kept open with a special device.

He could not even blink, as a nurse would administer eye drops in order for his eyes to remain wet.

At the end of the experiment, Alex developed an aversion to violence, not by his own will after a moral transformation that comes from responsibility, but as a mechanical response his body would trigger. What Anthony Burgess, the writer of the novel on which Kubrick’s masterpiece is based on was saying is that a society that mechanizes our responses, takes away our human quality to choose between right and wrong, to learn through cerebral activity.

The question then is, as we see that masses of people all over the world are becoming violent and less tolerant, as we are now being subjected to beheadings viewed on the nightly news, police brutality, war, and attempts at genocide – could these images both in television and movies create a situation similar to the “Ludovico Technique?”

Is it a desensitizing process like aversion programming, or is it intended to initiate a response which is violent, fearful, and even Satanic?

When Tobin Bell appeared on Ground Zero, we discussed the ultra-violent SAW films and what the underlying purposes of the films were. The films depict what can be called “torture porn” or “extreme body horror.”

Bell, said the films are shock trauma movies designed to punish and torture the guilty, or those who do not value life.

There have been other films in the past that have standardized and have permitted torture. Movies like, The Passion of the Christ, and Hostile have been made and submitted to the public as psychological trauma exercises. The thought of one being centered around the Crucifixion of Christ makes it even more diabolical.

As many people would say that this is unkind, I often reminisce about how many religious leaders were urging all ages to view the Mel Gibson film and I wondered why a film that was first rated NC-17 for its violent content would be appropriate for family viewing. I always thought there was something Satanic at work where parents, under the direction of church leaders, were told to traumatize their children.

Contrary to popular belief, the film was not as “clean and pious” as one would want to think.

It comes as a surprise to most people that when Mel Gibson first asked people to play in his Christian snuff piece that he hired unknowns to play the parts in the film. At least that is the Hollywood story.

Out of the 66 cast members of The Passion, there were 33 that appeared in porn or horror films.

It can be argued this type of violent ritualism has given way to the videos we see on You Tube of beheadings and human emollition we see provided by ISIS.

If anything, the torturous horrors have become real life acts and it is frightening.

In 1961, Albert Bandura did a classic study on what he called social learning theory (i.e. we learn to do what we see done) most often referred to by those in psychology as the “Bobo Doll Study.”

He showed some children a film of a grownup beating up a Bobo doll, one of those life-sized punching bags that looks like a clown and has sand in the bottom so you can’t knock it over.

The Bobo doll was in a room with other toys in it. The grown-up kept beating the Bobo doll for a good 15 minutes.

Another group of children didn’t see the Bobo video. The children were then allowed to go into the room, individually. The children who hadn’t seen the grownup beating up Bobo weren’t particularly interested in Bobo, but the children who had seen Bobo get beaten up started beating Bobo up in exactly the same way as the grownup they’d seen.

People have argued for years that what we see on television and in film doesn’t change our behavior. Bandura proved that it did, 50 years ago. And any parent can tell you that “do as I say, not as I do” is a nice concept, but “monkey see, monkey do” is more realistic.

There has also been a film technique that was introduced in The Halloween films, whereby the camera angle creates something called “intimate trauma” or “intimate terror.” It is where the camera shot uses the first person view of what is happening in a scene. It is effective because you witness the murder of someone on screen through the eyes of the killer – making you a psychological participant. It can also be reverse where you can also be the eyes of the victim witnessing a simulated attack or even your own death.

The BBC recently reported about an experiment involving a volunteer placed in a simulation in which he looks in a mirror and sees the reflection of a girl. An adult then subjected the girl to abuse. The simulation presumably makes the volunteer imagine what it would be like to be the victim of the abuse. There are numerous ways in which these simulations could be used in the context of different kinds of crimes. They also could trigger repressed memories, and waking nightmares.

There are many nightmares that are all too real, and there are many people living through them every day wondering why horrible things happen to good people. We also are living in a world that is being carefully molded, politically and religiously.

The social structure of the consensus is now changing and many people are now having a crisis of faith. We all stop and wonder what could be causing it and how do these ideas dread and fear overtake our rationale.

The truth may be in the process of manifestation and the possibility of retro causality. We see the effect happen before the cause through predictive programming and seed planting in our media.

Kenneth Anger, who is a follower of Aleister Crowley’s, Thelema, has stated that film does exactly what everyone suspects – it plants the seeds for a future event.

The purpose for some films is to stir the primal forces and is used as magical weapons to stir the soul out of conformity. The flickering image according to Anger, creates a thought form and even if the image flickers for no one, it is still a causal engine that sends the image into the ether. If someone picks up on the meme and it is successfully implanted in the zeitgeist, it is theorized that the very nightmare could easily transpire in the real world.

For example, the films that were mentioned throughout the recent Academy Awards are actually giving us a rude revelation of an agenda that is being processed and reinforced throughout the American psyche.

Beyond the manufactured agenda that the races of America no longer get along, there are some very telling themes that have been indicated to shape the culture.

The film, Bridge of Spies, is a reminder of the Cold War and the shaky peace we have with Russia. It is a reminder that Russians should not be trusted and the relationship President Obama had with Vladimir Putin could lead to war today.

The Martian is a film revealing that there will be a breakaway civilization which will eventually leave this planet and live on Mars. It shows that it is possible to live there, grow crops and work to make it habitable.

The Big Short, also is a film that can lessen the blow of a financial collapse. As it was before, so it will happen again. This time with crushing results that will lead to a cashless society.

The remake of Mad Max is most certainly a film which predicts that in the future, there will be scarcity of food, fuel and resources. This will create civil unrest, and eventually will make many people refugees in their own country.

Both Spotlight and 50 Shades of Grey are films showing both sides of sexual perversion.

It is 50 Shades of Grey that promotes violent and deviant sex while Spotlight is about how this type of activity can be found in religious institutions and is used to rob the virtue of the innocent.

Once again, the Hollywood elite have found a method of mind control and predictive programming that can be compared to the “Ludovico Technique” used in, A Clockwork Orange.

I am beginning to speculate that perhaps the agenda of Hollywood is to not only entertain us, but to create a plausible acceptance of what is ahead in our futures — and what is happening in our present.
