The Shining, Possession & The Mothman Prophecies

What is mind control? MK Ultra? Are you being controlled by Instagram? Face Book? Your Smart Phone? Food? Love? Sex? Drugs? Have you ventured Somewhere Over the Rainbow?

I've heard & read many times that the powers which be hide under plain sight. Clues are thrown out obvious. It is my personal opinion certain people were privy of the New World Order agenda. Duh. For those who are living under a rock: We are currently in a Renaissance or Golden Age of it's engineered plan.


World Health Organization or WHO kinda sounds like an owl's hoot, don't it?




The Shining: Telekinesis. Abuse. Head Games. Repetition. Contempt. Location. Tarot symbolism. 

Yes. Tarot. 

In some instances, I can't help but realize how Shelly appears like the Queen of Swords & The Queen of Wands. The candle stick chandelier looming over her head sometimes crowns her even. Jack in the beginning might represent The Fool (Ullman The Magician & the chef The Chariot card, and so forth) and the world map next to him during the Interview scene may indicate that he is taking a chance. There is also a nifty, spooky picture in the background to the left of Jack. It appears like an initiation rite. Another cool tarot symbolism is when he is in the haunted room. During his embrace with the attractive ghost lady, they look exactly like The Lovers card. Also, when Danny is in the kitchen talking to the chef there are a whole bunch of knives looming over him, representing the card Nine of Swords which is a heavy duty card. Then towards the end in the b&w pic Jack is posing like The Devil card. C'mon folks! I can continue at length about the tarot symbolism. Its apparent and obvious. The pictures on the walls. Archetypes. Its all there.

What does this have to do with MK/Mind Control? Real smarty pants are forced to join. In the world of funky societies finger placement (The Grand Budapest Hotel is a perfect example of this. Here's an A OK sign right back at ya' Wes!), and where you rank in the totem pole is part of their pass time. Many even use the tarot. For instance Katy Perry's Dark Horse vid has the symbolism of The Chariot in it. Jay Z & Bey rep The Lovers. Know Your Place!

Back to The Shining. Kubrick was such a genius & this movie is one of the most perfect films out there, the layers in which it operates on are/(were) supremely subtle. 34 years later and we're still talking about it, and when it creeps up on TV you know you go on a break & take a quick peek for the fourteenth time. 


But two films which need to be watched with mind fucking in the fore front are Andrzej Zulawski's 1981 Possession & Mark Pellington's The Mothman Prophecies (I kinda wanna include Jacob's Ladder, Donnie Darko & The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, but I'll bow out gracefully).

Possession. Where do I begin? With the Clive Barkeresque monster which controls Anna's every waking moment? Or the mirroring/twin imaging theme which is also a prominent tactic in MK conditioning (aside from Ying Yang & whore/young maiden themes)? Or do I go in deep regarding the nice curve ball Zulawski throws in the final act of the film? The film turns into a whole political/anti corporate "them against us" shebang. Do I mention the rainbow on the son's shirt? For all who know about MK, the rainbow is a code.


Somewhere Over the Rainbow. But where? Loosing ones identity? Think selfies. You're being monitored, but ya'll know this. Kinda like how you stare at Instagram for hours on end. Hypnotism if you will. You have gone to the point of no return. Only deleting your account or having your phone seized will stop the madness. Right? Does Instagram still have the rainbow as its logo? I don't know anymore cause I clawed my way outta there. Granted I lost a close friend in the process (Yes. Relationships can and do end cuz of social control, I mean, social media). 

If you haven't seen Possession please do. With open eyes and mind.

The next film which deserves everyone's open mind & eyes is The Mothman Prophecies. First of all, one of Pellington's first gigs was taping Information Society's "I wanna Know What You're Thinking", aka Pure Energy vid (thanks Brits! google the band & marvel at the vast members it has had. Some becoming sound engineers, you know, controlling what's between your ears).

I just want to get this out of the way. I L O V E The Mothman Prophecies. The sound engineering is superior. It is Mark's masterpiece. Kinda how Spike Lee was born to make Do The Right Thing. Same here. Mark was meant to make Mothman. If you look up the specs the cameras he used were named MK! HA! It's almost as if Mothman is Mark's Shining. Its so layered and subtle it's genius. The wedding dress in the background bouncing off the mirror (engagement, twinning, loosing one's identity), The color spectrum (rainbow) in the awning. The clandestine meet at the electronic store. I can go on & on. I am a sucker for mise en scene. Especially when done right. So please, go watch The Mothman Prophecies and look for the little cool clues Mark is leaving behind. A la Kubrick. I'll take that over a wack cartoon of a dancing Stanley in credits or an insulting birthmark in the shape of my beautiful Mexico any day.

Yeah, clues have been left behind by Weird Al Yankovich, the opening credits of The X-Files, the Bushes, System Of A Down, Brian Helgeland (he hangs Heath upside down before Gilliam did), etc. But the three films I briefly mention above are in their own weird way so similar they are practically cousins. So go watch them back to back the next time you roll your eyes at a friend who claims Michael Jackson was warning us.
