Mondo Hollywood

Hard to believe that the United States did cultural commentary and intelligent satire as good as anywhere around the world when this was made. What happened? Maybe it became obsessed by the veneer thin  pursuits of Celebrity and fame. The woman breast feeding the rather large infant went on to marry Frank Zappa who also appears in this documentary in a separate scene.

The film starts with the legend:

"All persons and events depicted herein are real. Any similarity to fictitious persons or events is purely coincidental."

The film presents a series of vignettes of the more extreme aspects of life in Hollywood - and Los Angeles as a whole - of the period, focussing on "the Hollywood the public does not know".^[2] Personalities who appear in the movie include proto-hippie Gypsy Boots, stripper Jennie Lee, S&H Green Stamps heir Lewis Beach Marvin III, celebrity hair stylist Jay Sebring (later murdered by the Manson gang), psychedelic pioneer Richard Alpert (later known as Ram Dass), singer Bobby Jameson(with his then-girlfriend Gail Sloatman), housekeeper Estella Scott, actors Margaretta Ramsey, Theodore Charach and Valerie Porter, fashion designer Rudi Gernreich, artistVito Paulekas, surfer Dale Davis, skydiver Jim Arender, and beautician Sheryl Carson. Each personality provides a narrative for their own scenes. The film also shows various social and political gatherings, including an anti-communist crusade, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, a visit to Universal Studios by Princess Margaret, the aftermath of the Watts riots, a UCLA peace rally, and a children's fashion show. Other individuals shown briefly in the movie included Frank Zappa, Sonny and Cher, Bobby Beausoleil,Alfred Hitchcock, Brigitte Bardot, Jayne Mansfield, Ronald Reagan and severaltranssexuals.^[3][4]

[edit]Production

Robert Carl Cohen (b.1930), who had previously made Inside Red China (1957), Inside East Germany (1959), Committee on Un-American Activities (1962), and Inside Castro's Cuba (1963),^[5] was producer, director, photographer and editor of the film. The music director was Mike Curb, and the soundtrack featured songs by Davie Allan and the Arrows, and others.^[3]

[edit]Reception

The film was promoted as "starring Jayne Mansfield", who had recently died, even though she only appears in it very fleetingly. It was first shown at the Mannheim Film Festival in 1967, and was then scheduled to be shown at the Avignon Festival. However, the French government banned it from being shown, stating:^[6]

"This film, in the opinion of certain experts of the Commission [of Control], presents an apology for a certain number of perversities, including drugs and homosexuality, and constitutes a danger to the mental health of the public by its visual aggressivity and the psychology of its editing. The Commission proposes, therefore, its total interdiction."

The ban was later lifted. In 1978, when Mike Curb was running for election as lieutenant governor of California, his opponent, the incumbent Mervyn M. Dymally, claimed that the film was "pornographic" and that Curb "sang falsetto in a bath tub scene with two lesbians." Curb at first denied singing in the film, but then admitted it.^[7] He won the election.

The film was later described as a "cult classic... [which] captures the underside of Hollywood by documenting a moment in time... when an inquisitive trust in the unknown was paramount, hope for the future was tangible and life was worth living on the fringe."^[4] A re-edited and expanded "director's cut" version was premiered at the Moondance Film Festival on 10 June 2006.^[4]

An Open Secret: A Documentary on Hollywood Paedophiles

Powerful award winning documentary about the child abuse networks in Hollywood. The grooming works differently than those in Politics, Masonry and Royalty where they can just pluck the victims out of children's homes like Kincora in Northern Ireland, Bryn Estyn in Wales and Haute de la Garenne in Jersey. Thankfully there's not a whiff of Satanism in the Hollywood pool parties, and it comes across as men exploiting young boys who want to become famous. 

There is some very brave testimony in this documentary and frankly a lot of creepy guys.

The Men In Black Movie (How Hollywood Paints The Bad Guys As Good)

I wrote this comment on Adam Curtis's blog dealing with Chuck Norris movies that brainwashed the U.S. to fight immoral wars. I'd just watched Men In Black at the time and so it seemed only right to explain how the disinformation and brainwashing game still goes on.

With respect to the notion that "you begin to wonder whether the whole of the subsequent economic and foreign policy of Britain and the United States wasn't created by the rubbish movies of the 1980s" the reality is closer than is palatable.

Violence in films paints a reality that is most effective by programming populations to be prejudiced against the artificial enemy of the day and most damaging is the mind control it exerts on young uneducated males, and their propensity to join the military and kill foreigners obediently. The CIA and Pentagon among others permit Hollywood to use their war hardware in return for script editorial veto and inclusion. If a war movie isn't appropriate, the alphabet soup agencies and war psychos have the money and influence to make movies that frame issues to their liking. 

A lovely example from the 90's found that security males fond of dark glasses, coiled wire to an ear, and complete obedience to their pensions over and above their personal relationships and any morality were beginning to be seen as a sinister accessories tainted by black budget projects being openly discussed on the internet. 

The solution was for a cool movie portraying the males in dark civilian attire and glasses as behind-the-scenes dudes with sexy kit, and off planet responsibilities. It was so successful the lay person now thinks "Men In Black" references special security guys even though the original Men In Black phenomena is super-high weirdness that troubles the Feds as much as it does the witnesses who receive a visit.

The geniuses in disinformation fixed it as neat as one could wish. They steered a movie that positioned their Feds as the 'Official' Men In Black even though civilians came up with the term to describe a UFO related phenomena.

Hollywood made the MIB's cool and real life supernatural cache made them bad ass cool. A complete win for synthetic reality.

The following interview with Nick Redfern by Mike Clelland is a first class introduction to the subject or even a reference for the researcher.

Randy Maugans & James Martinez - Electronic Money, Digital Subversion & Hollywood's Run For Cover Stance On Palestine

Two very experienced researchers on the subject of mass media and individual mind control. Hats off to James Martinez for reminding us not one Hollywood celebrity has stood up for Palestine. Well those days are coming to an end and the world's largest prison camp cannot stand forever.

Here's the blurb from Information Machine:

James Martinez is the world’s first talk show host to uncover the truth about banking while offering remedy to people all over the world. To date his work has cancelled over $730 million of consumer debt, and empowered people to take back their power. Along with his co-hosts, Bob Neveritt, Dr. Carolyn Dean, and iON, he has pushed the boundaries of media and human consciousness by imploding the prevaling memes and embeds.

This conversation came about after James' two-pronged announcements of the pending release of commercial cold fusion and the new global economic structure on January 1, 2012. These two announcements---taken on their sheer potential magnitude---demanded examination, as well as a glimpse into the spokesman's own mind and work.

At this time, James has stated that no further comments or information are available on the global economic restructuring, but  that information will come in the opportune days ahead. All other subjects were open...and we "go there": Walter Bowart, Marshall McLuhan, the Hollywood mind screw, consciousness-raising, "becoming gods", and the energy revolution that upturns the world.

As with any conversation, listen carefully...more than once. There are powerful messages embedded in the nuances.

My thanks to James for this generous and enlightening talk, through him I was able to touch two of my heroes!
 Dedicated to the memory of Walter Bowart and Marshall McLuhan. ~Randy Maugans

Richard Grove | James Jesus Angleton Was The Mole

Richard Grove of Tragedy and Hope discusses the suppression of logic, reason and history in the form of consumer education and social engineering. Richard and Jay Dyer delve deep into 9/11 monetary scams, the history of western intelligence operations and the influence of the foundations and banksters who, through fell spectrum dominance, are seeking to reorganize societies. Looking into the history of the CIA and MI6, Richard and Jay touch on everything from Hollywood to philosophy.

Esoteric Hollywood is Jay Dyer’s (from JaysAnalysis.com) deconstruction of the deeper messages, symbols, and predictive programming subtexts that underlie modern film, including interviews with artists and experts in numerous media fields. Based on years of research into film analysis, comparative religion, propaganda,psychological warfare, secret societies and mind control, Esoteric Hollywood decodes the biggest movies in an unparalleled way, from the classics of the silver screen to today’s blockbusters.

Robert Bonner of Homeland Security Connected To "Clueless Death" of Brittany Murphy

Please note the GIF image is just a Clueless image and not Brittany Murphy.


Somebody at Homeland Security lied about Brittany Murphy of Clueless fame but when it was checked out she testified against it. That would have exposed the corrupt Department of Homeland Security to the glare of celebrity cameras so the DHS persecuted Brittany, ruined her career with the help of the Editor of the Hollywood reporter and finally she mysteriously died from poisoning despite being in great health. Her boyfriend also died in the same fashion four months later.

Hollywood didn't take Brittany's claims that she was been followed and harrassed preferring instead to spread media lies about her, even though it was well known she was healthy and preferred to be with her family and friends than fake Hollywood types.

The connection with the documentary above is not clear at first but if you listen to part two/second half of this Red Ice Radio interview all will be revealed. It's another amazing story of the depth of corruption in the abyss known as the United States of Celebrity & Terror Threats

Conspiracy Theory (1997) | Mel Gibson & Julia Roberts

A Hollywood movie about conspiracy theories is pretty much the last format I've ever have considered taking seriously. However, despite the over the top, too-paranoid-to-take-seriously, and buffoon-clown behaviour of Mel Gibson there are a few nuggets. 

The first hint is when he talks about "they" or "them" as NASA, among others.

In 1997 very few people would have entertained NASA as a deep state player but we now know most of the visuals they pump out, if not all, are completely synthetic, and that they played a huge role in the industrialisation processes of mind-controlled victims through trauma-based dissociative techniques. The evidence is mainly testimonial (although disparate sources state the same details) and of course the connection between Operation Paperclip NASA and Mind Control Nazis is self-evident.

Most mind control is done through Hollywood and Corporate Media programming coupled with some dietary factors like fluoride addition, GMOs (OMGs) and Big Pharma. This is easy to see when observing people who would rather eat their own vomit than discuss reality.

However those who claim that MKULTRA and mind control programmes to create assassins and so forth are largely fictional/exaggerated, simply haven't done their homework. Presidents, Sports Stars, Spooks and Celebrities are reliably documented MKULTRA victims and even mentioned in the mainstream Hollywood narrative (if you know what you're looking for).

Many are used in Occult rituals for their genetic propensity to manifest demons, djinns or whatever vocabulary you prefer to describe non-orthodox entities.

The movie is also interesting because it confirms that the mind control techniques which used to be Secret Society intelligence, spilt over into the CIA, NASA and all the other sadistic poisonous groups that infect consumer society with events that most have no idea of how to explain. 

So it's factional mind control wars which is fairly logical if the researcher thinks it through, and Trump vs Clinton is a working example of this dynamic at some level.

More Hollywood/Pentagon Pre-Programming?

Yawn. Another Hollywood programme-your-mind flick to force you to believe any non terrestrial life is going to steal your babies and eat your liver with a nice Chianti and fava beans. It will work for the corn syrup brainwashed masses of course because they fail to question the logic of why didn't the technologically advanced aliens do it a thousand years ago.

The universe is a big place.

Naturally they also have those project Bluebeam/SKUNKWORKS visual effects to hoodwink the people into thinking good is bad and bad is good but we're just going to have let the chips fall where may, and make some judgements knowing that the Pentagon and Hollywood have demonised Nazis, Commies and Muslims in that order to get their way and that word has already leaked that the next round is an alien invasion - Do they know something we don't?

Anyway, should that happen, expect me to side with the wicked aliens just in case the chance to take some chunks out of the military industrial complex avails itself.

These People Are Sick - Rainn Wilson, Dan Harmon, Seth Green & James Gunn

If you don't know Hollywood sleaze James Gunn, Rainn Wilson, Seth Green and Dan Harmon are, or why the Hollywood elite are defending their child rape skits, cartoons and social media posts, you're going to be living in a mad world where many will seem insane, but in fact they are the informed and you aren't.

That's a place I wouldn't want to live in for the rest of my life. Although, to be fair the censorship is heavy on all search engines.

The last seven years have been tough enough but all of this was forecast by the Webbots at the end of last year, so those class action suits against Hollywood are looking like they will happen.

Jay Weidner - Diamonds Are Forever. But Hollywood Aint.

Jay Weidner is probably one of the more interesting people of his generation. Friends with the likes ofTerence McKenna and John Lash to name a couple of interesting choices, he's got just enough Hollywood connections to have an inside point of view without being tainted by the money and celebrity. 

Conversely he also has a track record of taking a serious interest in the metaphysical issues of the day from life after death to being a well regarded autodidact alchemy scholar. There's a lot more to him than just that but in this interview he and Jeff Rense are borderline cracking up with laughter at the absurdity of NASA back pedalling and graveyard-silence on a fistful of moon landing issues including NASA's hiring of Jim Olson to write a book defending the charges of faking simulating the moon landing. 

We learn here that Jim's requests for NASA Apollo archive material were too sensitive after about six weeks and so the brakes/reverse rocket boosters were put on the project and a severance fee of twenty thousand dollars was paid to bin the book.

Jay and Jeff also talk briefly about the recent no fly zone NASA put around the moon to prevent the Indians and  Chinese taking high resolution photography of the Apollo landings as their own space programmes advance logarithmically. It takes an unusually blunted mind not to question the official story why NASA have never been back. "It's boring" isn't quite cutting it.

Moving on from the moon, Jay also agrees with my pet theory of True Blood as allegory for the Anunnaki/Archons coming out of the closet as I blogged about back here in July. It's very reassuring to know that my wild speculations are also being reached on the other side of the planet and while not proof of claim are at least evidence of similar thinking. There's no question also that it was Jay who taught me to look at what television and Hollywood pump out with a critical eye for agenda and pre-programming/psychic priming.

Like Jay I also think Ron Paul will get a bullet if he ever came close to winning the presidency. It's extraordinary watching the corporate for profit media siding with psychopaths like Perry, Gingrich et al.

Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut & The Rothschilds

A couple of weeks ago I was going over Jay Weidner's deconstruction of Stanley Kubrick's main body of work. While Jay was working as a young man in Hollywood, a pretty girl who came from somewhere out in the sticks shared with him her story. 

She said over coffee that she attended a Hollywood party only to learn that there was a more exclusive party going on in the basement of the building.

She crept into the exclusive party and was surprised to see the setting was sexual and occult-like. 

Before being recognised as an outsider (much as Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut)  she was witness to something that sent her back to her hometown forever leaving Hollywood and hopes of fame behind. She saw they were conducting a human sacrifice.

Later on after learning this, I came across another black magic ritualistic (child) sex news item in my RSS feed, and I got to recalling that somewhere I'd heard that ritualistic killing is the most powerful ceremonial process in terms of energetic bonding and spell binding communion of spirit-release that groups like this are deeply aware of and understand how to manipulate.

We just work in cubicles. Why would we know this information?

So I went back to watch Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut and even though it was edited after his suspicious premature death so that significant scenes were taken out, it certainly crystallized within me as a piece of art commenting on society, power and ritualistic occultism. 

Something I'm less inclined to ignore as I've poked around on this subject.

Coincidentally, Vigilant Citizen have written a post on the Rothschilds at a masked party. The Rothschild banking bloodline always seem to star at the top of the list for arch manipulators through war and suffering, and so I thought I'd get these Jay Weidner posts written as really it's his 2001 Space Odyssey that I'd like to dig around in a bit as it's loaded with sub narrative indications.

Jay said that Kubrick's wife called him once and confirmed that his alchemical decoding of Kubrick's films was a commensurate with her husbands interests in the subject. It's well worth checking out some of the links in this post.

Kubrick shot the ritual killing ceremony in the Rothschild owned Mentmore Towers.

Update: Vigilant Citizen has a post on the topic.

The Ugly American - Marlon Brando's Thai Allegory

Brando's relationship with women wasn't the most beautiful of stories, but other than that he was a rare breed of beautiful American. Beautiful physically and beautiful of heart. I accidently completed his biography just days before he died, yet it is only with this movie that I start to pick up on what really separated Brando from his contemporaries.

The Ugly American is easily a 10 000 word essay begging for a PhD thesis. It's themes and characters are so much the leitmotifs of imperial history that I'm not sure I can do it justice here. Right from the opening credits it's brutally obvious that it's ALL about Thailand, Indochina and the Ugly American way of spreading like a post war global virus of capitalism through the healthy bodies of indigenous peoples not yet acquainted with the way of greed is good, greedier is better, greediest is best.

Let's dispense with the cliches. The Ugly American adumbrates Asian stereotypes with Hollywood naffness as good as The Wonderful World of Suzy Wong and Bridge Over The River Kwai. It's sprinkled with 'fucky sucky' dialogue and cultural faux pas like Brando wai-ing a child. Yet it overcomes these time and again. It's as contemporary and fresh as a post Fallujah Pentagonal rape still dripping with non menstruated blood.

This could just as easily be about the Romans or the Visigoths. I'm unclear how the script ever slipped through the Hollywood propaganda massage machine in such a raw form and with such prescient quality. Whoever wrote it knew the ritual bloodbath of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos was around the corner or was acquainted with the roll out of history's relationship with power.

Put simply I've no idea how an anti-imperial film was made during the era of quintessential crew cut, patriarchal and military global killing spree that was post war United States long before Iraq or El Salvador or Panama or Libya or or or, it just goes on and fucking on doesn't it?

Unusually and somewhat sophisticatedly the movie opens on Brando's senate committee hearing approval for ambassador of a thinly disguised Thailand. Most American's can't point towards Karachi on a map and so this opening scene is a closer look at the political machinations of a process where initially Brando is portrayed as being too intimate with a local hero to perform. The message is there are plenty of better psychopaths out there willing to administrate slaughter with telephone calls and U.S. Embassy rubber stamps.

Because of the opposition to Brando we're pitched emotionally into rooting for the protagonist  complete with early warning signs of hairline mustache and pipe smoking truculence. Brando is every bit the polished and seasoned typical U.S. ambassador psychopath confident of his ability to know what's good for others.

And yet Brando is too young and too good looking and too close to revolutionary figures to sail through the hearing. Somehow he does and is quickly whizzing past a dangerous protest crowd at Don Muang airport protesting the latest real estate encroachment of U.S. hegemony before heading on to a welcome reception with none other than the King of Thailand.

Despite much of the cookie cutter dialogue that comes with the role, Brando delivers time and again by transforming the implausible into an alchemical inevitable . What makes Brando stand out for me here is his ability to squeeze some normality into the artifice of late 50's early 60's Hollywood production.

Punctuating this turmoil and fromage fondue stereotypes is a performance of greater importance than  Yul Brynner in The King and I.  Kukrit Pramoj playing the Prime Minister of Thailand above went on to be the real P.M. but delivers here possibly the finest Asian performance in English I've ever seen. It's witty, intelligent, temporally accurate and delivered with conviction and authenticity. Not only was Kukrit Pramoj dealing behind the scenes to protect Thailand but it seems he was writing the script and acting out the scenes in movies too. I urge you to steal this movie from the internet just for this confrontation. I don't have much sympathy for the ultra Royalist privy councillors or indeed the Internationalists these days but Kukrit Pramoj is outstanding here. Unless I'm mistaken his homosexuality too might explain this fascinating General who evidently could deliver with aplomb as a politician, soldier and thespian too. Remarkable.

Towards the end of the movie we're positioned betwixt a repentant Brando and stoical Siamese people's leader with Brando seeking reconciliation with quintessential 20th century lines such as 'maybe we paid too much attention to the headlines'.

It's a damming indictment of corporately controlled profit driven media's crusade against an ecologically kinder wealth creation model other than capitalism. The movie ends with Brando cornered by a hostile U.S press only ever seen in movies yet never in real life. Brando's humiliated and defeated face is beamed into U.S. TV screens with a message that is as fresh today as it was then. The caution is against indifference. I'd add ignorance to that charge leveled by Brando with most Americans completely oblivious of who pays for how fast that food is delivered.

This is how the beautiful American tried to warn the U.S.

By playing an ugly American.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is much better than I expected. I don't usually watch Hollywood but this production caught my eye as it was interpreted by the conspiracy crowd as an indicator of what's in store for those who survive depopulation, chemtrails and a long list of wickedness the power elite have lined up for us. It's a movie for those of us with the audacity to survive whatever extinction level event we don't have invitation tickets to loiter with the VIP's in Deep Underground  Military Bases (DUMBS) while the cataclysm takes place overhead.

I don't actually buy all of the above but it's worth knowing why it caught my eye. My feeling is the potential breakdown of society could be longer and messier than expected or completely unexpected if at all. Natural events seem to be the more likely than engineered events.

Someone I care about loves this movie so I watched it to show solidarity and so for me it was good and thought provoking entertainment. I understand it's based on a trilogy of books which were inspired by an earlier Japanese book called Battle Royale which was made into a movie.

The authenticity of the movie worked well. It rarely goes over the top and if so only in tiny details that most Americans would never notice. In fact most people wouldn't notice but I'm super sensitive to the cliches of Hollywood production and this film doesn't take liberties.

The film explores the Society of the Spectacle whereby what is viewed becomes more important than what actually is. Guy Debord's work on this subject is as important now as ever it was as we hurtle into a Truman Show of them watching us watching them watching us in a recursive loop of fear and privacy intrusion that may imprison humanity in that special way that many have yet to grasp.

Interestingly for Hollywood, the celebrities are the creeps in this movie with cartoonesque qualities that draw on archetypes as deep as one can find in the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. Celebrities portrayed as creeps is so rare these days that is must be applauded. Actors are by their nature good at lying. That's what they do.

I can only throw in one morsel of observation which is that the top of the control pyramid in this movie is played by an amiably-possesed white haired gentleman who is clipping his roses in a garden while debating life and death for entertainment.  I wanted to share where I've seen this before. It's the Spielberg film Munich where the shadowy transnational figures who run the world are headed by a similar white haired gentleman clipping his roses.

Same character clipping roses in The Hunger Games

And hopefully you'll appreciate the resonance of a Mr Rothschild's recorded interview below at Exbury Gardens in Hampshire, England cutting his roses as a conspiracy researcher asks him questions. I'm not asking you to draw conclusions. I'm just pointing out the synchronicity.
