"The killing of Officer Tippit is the Rosetta Stone of the JFK assassination"
~Wesley J. Leibeler, Warren Commission counsel

---

THE KEY TO THE GRAIL MYSTERY:

On June 26th, 1992, in Chicago, I was invited by Mr. Douglas Carlson to address a closed session of Kennedy assassination researchers at the Third Decade JFK Symposium on my discovery within the Zapruder Film several alterations which employed what I have dubbed "Gestalt Editing Techniques". I also reported the discovery visible condensation trails in Frame Z-295.

The discovery of this condensation trail by this writer in New York City and independently by researcher Roy Schaeffer in Dayton, Ohio in 1992, proves conclusively the presence of a shooter high on the Criminal Courts Building.

THE RIGHT QUESTION

It was while preparing for the Chicago lecture that one of my research associates asked me, "Robert, where was J. D. Tippit shot?"

"In the left eye, I believe..." I replied, for that was the story I’d read in the New York Times many years before. "But", I added, qualifying my reply, "let me make sure." At that moment, Jim Bishop’s "The Day Kennedy Was Shot" was on my desk at arms length, and I read the section on the death of Officer J. D. Tippit.

J. D. Tippit was the Dallas policeman murdered on November 22, 1963, 45 minutes after the shooting of JFK. Tippit’s murder was immediately pinned on Lee Harvey Oswald.

Tippit’s killing has always been pictured as a chance encounter in the Oak Dale District between an alert, cruising (hero) policeman and a "suspect" in the shooting of JFK based on the APB (all points bulletin) put out minutes before by the Dallas Police Department. His assassination has always been pictured as a random killing forced by circumstances on the fleeing Oswald. I recalled that he had been buried the following day (November 23rd) in a sealed casket because his wound had purportedly disfigured his face. Tippit’s body disappeared from 10th and Patton that afternoon (1:15 p.m. November 22nd), was processed through two hospitals within 2 hours, and was never seen again by kith or kin. I remember his funeral shown on CBS, a light bronze coffin was laid to rest surrounded by many mourners, Mrs. Tippit, their 3 children and waves of weeping policemen.

AMAZING COINCIDENCE

In Jim Bishop’s account, much to our amazement, besides being shot in the torso several times, Tippit as was described as having been shot the right temple, specifically the right temporal area, the very same region of the head where the fatal shot passed through President Kennedy.

I was stunned. My mind boggled at the thought that this might be a mere coincidence--that the man accused of killing both Tippit and JFK could shoot 2 people within 45 minutes of each other, within 4 miles of each other, one with a rifle from a high building and one with a handgun at short range (on the run), and inflict exactly the same type wound. I resolved to inquire about this of experts in Chicago.

MEDICAL DISCREPANCIES

I had already read of some unusual medical discrepancies between photos and x-rays of the President in several books, which I recommend highly. These included Harrison Edward Livingstone’s "High Treason II" and David Lifton’s "Best Evidence", others are mentioned in the body of this report. His report uses the lexicon employed by Livingstone in "High Treason II" in the autopsy photo analysis in acknowledgement of Mr. Livingstone’s great Contribuyions to the JFK medical debate.

At the Third Decade conference, at a panel of the country’s foremost experts on the Kennedy assassination, I inquired whether anyone there had ever considered the possibility that we might be seeing rear view photos and X-rays of Tippit substituted for those of JFK, based on the amazing similarity of the temporal head wound in both victims. Some cynics laughed in the audience but from the podium, the moderator, George Michael Evica, author of "...And We Are All Mortal", responded with a most unusual answer:

"It’s interesting that you should ask this question because...I’ve studied Tippit, and when I went down to Dallas I found out that Tippit bore a remarkable resemblance to President Kennedy, so much so that HIS FRIENDS IN THE DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT USED TO RIB HIM AND CALL HIM ’JACK’ AND ’JFK’". (emphasis mine)

I then inquired whether anyone had ever seen any pictures of Tippit other than the one I had dubbed "The Tippit-Elvis Picture," which showed him in a cowboy shirt, head slightly tilted, hair slicked back, appearing to be about 26-28 years of age. To my knowledge, it was the only one that had been published since his death. I also inquired whether anyone there had ever seen Tippit’s autopsy report or knew his personal history. Later, Dan Du Pont, a researcher from North Hollywood, CA, approached me to discuss my inquiry. He promised to send me a copy of Tippit’s autopsy report to assist in my research.

THE REAL SECRET OF THE TIPPIT MURDER

In late July of 1992, I received from Dan Du Pont a 1964 manuscript by Gary Murr entitled "The Death of Officer J. D. Tippit". It contained the report of FBI Special Agent Arthur Carter on the autopsy of Officer J. D. Tippit, conducted by the Texas Coroner, Dr. Earl Rose. While studying the entry wound diagrams by Dr. Rose, I saw a remarkable similarity between Dr. Rose’s Tippit diagrams and the wound I perceived in the purported JFK lateral x-ray. I realized that the lateral x-ray purported to be that of the late President might in fact be that of Officer J. D. Tippit.

Dr. Rose’s description of the path taken by the bullet through Tippit’s brain approximates the trajectory described by the Warren Commission and House Select Committee on Assassination reports of the bullet’s path through the late President’s brain.

In the enlargement below, the red arrow depicts the path followed by the missile as described by the autopsy team.

This further correlation with JFK’s head wound indicated that we had uncovered a very significant omission of the Warren Commission Report.

THE TRANSHUMANISM SCRAPBOO(K): DARPA PLANS NERVE IMPLANTS, NEURO-MODULATORS

December 19, 2014 by Joseph P. Farrell in News • http://gizadeathstar.com/2014/12/transhumanism-scrapbook-darpa-plans-nerve-implants-neuro-modulators/

Here’s one for your transhumanism scrapbook, uncovered by Ms. P.H; one of our regular article-contributors and readers. And yes, you read the headline correctly, this one is coming to you from the Diabolically Apocalyptic Research Projects Agency (thank you Mr. J.B. for that wonderful alternative name). Take a look at this:
Electrical Prescriptions (ElectRx)
And while you’re at it, look at this one, courtesy of another regular here, Mr. V.T.:
DARPA plans to develop implantable devices to monitor, diagnose and treat the nervous system
Now a few days ago I blogged about the Ebola scare of pre-election politics in the USA, and about the (in my opinion) very real possibility that in addition to an off-the-books physics and technology in the possession of the black projects world, it was probably in the possession of off-the-books medical technologies, and in that connection I mentioned Royal Raymond Rife and French physician Alain Priore, both of whom pioneered electro-magnetic processes of healing, and in both cases, they claimed to have cured very virulent cancers by these means, inducing the eletcromagnetic template or signature of healthy cells on to cancerous ones, and restoring them to health.
These devices would seem to fit the bill perfectly, and also to indicate that after the suppression of Priore and Rife, that the black projects world continued to research their claims and technologies covertly. Rife, of course, made the apparently outrageous claim to have developed a microscope that could optically “see” a living virus, far beyond the limits of capabilities even possible for an optical microscope (though one should consider Thomas Bearden’s quite ingenious explanation of these claims). But a nanotechnology or micro implant able to be implanted in the body to accomplish these things would be far more efficient than Rife’s or Priore’s technolgies.This nano-medicine could also be combined with MIT’s exciting findings for DRACO virus therapy.
But here’s the problem, and the high octane speculation of the day.
Like many of you, I suspect DARPA’s interest in these technologies is not so much that they want to develop them, but rather (following the pattern I mentioned in connection with Nazi secret weapon development) that such technologies already exist, and hence, what is needed, is close study of how to implement them publicly without causing economic shock and dislocation in the medical business, which is as everyone knows a substantial portion of any national economy. So how might one do it? Simply have a media-driven epidemic, however one that plays not to the “get vaccinated” school, but to the “get implanted” school: imagine an implant, utilizing combinational technologies, DRACO, electro-magnetics, and so on, assuring an individual of a virtually virus-disease free life… a kind of perpetual immortality.
If they will but trust the powers that be, and submit to being “chipped”, and followed and monitored – and perhaps having their thoughts remotely “adjusted” – every day of their lives, and when they got “too out of line,” just simply “turned off” by the push of a button.

Could Understanding Code Be Key In Avoiding Being Programmed?

December 19, 2014 by Tom Bunzel. http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/12/19/could-understanding-code-be-key-in-avoiding-being-programmed/

Douglas Rushkoff’s” book published in 2013, Program or Be Programmed:  Ten Commands for the Digital Age may prove to be one of the most important of the 21^st century. Rushkoff points out the many ways in which modern life is influenced by the new reality of software, and “algorithms” that make decisions and calculate outcomes that used to be the sole skill of other humans.

SXSW 2010: Program or be Programmed: Ten Commands for a Digital Age

The ramifications are much more far reaching than one may quickly surmise. And the access to what is going on in our machines is no longer available; when I got my first computers I had to learn that leaving out a letter in my “autoexec.bat” file would make my audio driver fail to load and I would have no sound.

The inexorable logic of this was hammered home –if the syntax of code was wrong –it would not work. Programming had a logic that is unarguable.

Technology Does The Thinking For Us

It is reminiscent of Byron Katie’s famous line – when you argue with reality you only lose 100% of the time.

But now these “apps” no longer reveal their code, and they control much of our lives with their ability to mimic human cognitive functions. This is the deep, dark secret of our current malaise and unemployment—it’s not like the machine age when manufacturing jobs were taken over by mass production, although robotics is an exploding aspect of this phenomenon.

But the fact is that even the “thinking” and “response” functions previously performed by people can now be done more quickly, cheaply and even reliably by computers. That is why as jobs disappeared in the recession of 2008 and have come back in our current “recovery” the financial wizards of Wall Street have “streamlined” operations using the Internet to the point where middle class workers are no longer needed.

Some of this, of course, was the result of outsourcing or moving jobs to places like India or the Philippines. But the information age has had a much deeper and profound effect on average people –their ability to think and make decisions is no longer needed.

Do The Benefits Outweigh The Potential Costs?

As a computer user you have experienced the benefits first hand—you can make reservations, purchase items, and even complain without “interfacing” with a person.

The foundation for all of this is programming –or information processing –and when we use our cell phones, Rushkoff says in his book, we remain oblivious of the extent to which our lives are controlled by bits and bytes of code.

I believe there is also a deep upside to this –if we begin to fathom what it takes to program we actually approach the level of impersonal intelligence that manifests as life.

DNA, the instruction set for our bodies, operates as a program –with the syntax of how four chemicals, represented in code by the letters A, C, T and G, instruct the harmonious functions of our bodies. As Eckhart Tolle has said, the intelligence that runs our bodies is far greater than the egoic chatter of our small minds.

This recognition could move us beyond religious and tribal differences as we see that everything is essentially information –as quantum physics has already suggested. But in the meantime we and particularly our children become intimately comfortable and familiar with the process of computing that works symbolically, logically and inexorably: software.

Understand Code To Decode Reality

Familiarity with code opens us to the reality of other ways of thought and higher intellectual capability on many levels.

Ultimately it can also lead to unraveling some of our own inner programming and conditioning, as we see that so much of our habitual thoughts and actions are the result of imprinting by our families, schools and eventually our corporations.

That is why when a friend of mine bought his sons a new product I was so excited – Kano is a computer kit that teaches kids how to code, in addition to making them thoroughly familiar with how the actual computer works.

When I was young I was intrigued by the “crystal” radio kits that allowed us to build our own receiver and begin to understand electronics.

To me this new kind of “toy” kit is potentially much more significant. The gulf between the haves and the have-nots on this planet is growing rapidly and it’s not just education; rather the means for creating software and the decisions as to how it is implemented is in the hands of the few who understand both its power and have the capability to program.

Some of these are computer scientists and some are financial wizards and corporate executives who now possess extraordinary power because they are influencing millions who remain oblivious to the actual inner workings of the devices they are using.

Take just one aspect – the suggestibility and hypnotic effect of computer graphics and advertising.

This is operating in our brains as software (conditioning) in ways that we can barely comprehend, unless we begin to fathom how and if the function in code works. When we begin to realize that information, or intelligence, can operate upon our minds according to strictly prescribed instructions made by others, we think we have free will.

Certainly learning to code can lead to more lucrative careers for some of the kids who may use a kit like the Kano.

Educated Consumers Of Information

But as Rushkoff says in his book, it goes way beyond that.  We need to be more educated consumers of information, just as we need to be more educated consumers of our food or even our air.

Information, it turns out, is the energetic foundation of life and the universe itself – of all reality.

Those who remain oblivious to its workings will find themselves under the control of others and no longer able to make any autonomous conscious decisions.

And as genetics allows us to evolve in new directions as a species, those who are ignorant of the reality of code and logical structures that determine our biology and mental processes will be left behind, either to become extinct or to be the new underclass or serfs of a new digital feudal society.

Region: USA

Theme: Global Economy

Most politically active Americans are aware of the massive amounts of money spent on political campaigns. And most are also aware that corporate dollars, which fund so-called superPACs (political action committees), give hundreds of millions every election cycle.
In fact, according to a new study by the Sunlight Foundation, a nonpartisan organization that advocates for more transparent, open government, American corporations spent around $5.8 billion on elections between 2007 and 2012.
If that sounds like a big number – and it is – wait until you see what American corporations got in return.
Corporate investment in political campaigns pays big dividends
According to the foundation, corporations reaped nearly $4.4 trillion in returns for their investments.
The foundation looked at “influence and its potential results on federal decision makers” for six years – three before the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling and three years after the ruling. The study focused on the records of 200 for-profit corporations and companies that had active PACs and lobbyists.
“Their investment was enormous,” the report, titled, “Fixed Fortunes: Biggest corporate political interests spend billions, get trillions,” said.
No, money doesn’t influence our system – just ask the Supreme Court
“There were 20,500 paying lobbying clients over the six years we examined; the 200 companies we tracked accounted for a whopping 26 percent of the total spent. On average, their PACs, employees and family members made campaign contributions to 144 sitting members of Congress each [election] cycle,” the report noted.
An examination of 14 million records pertaining to campaign contributions, federal budget allocations, lobbying expenditures and other spending found that, on average, “for every dollar spent on influencing politics, the nation’s most politically active corporations received $760 [$4.4 trillion total] from the federal government,” a figure accounting for “two-thirds of the $6.5 trillion that individual taxpayers paid into the federal treasury.”
What’s more, as the American middle class shrank dramatically during the same six-year study period, the 200 companies continued getting insane returns on their political investments. They included loans to bail out the automobile industry, the bank bailouts that were “too big to fail,” federal program expansions that worked to “help prop up prices for agribusinesses and secure trade deals for our biggest manufacturers,” as well as budget measures “that funneled extra dollars to everything from defense contractors to public utility companies to financial industry giants.”
In addition, researchers found that of some $410 billion in loans issued under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, which was created in 2008, nearly 73 percent – or about $298 – went to 16 of the 200 corporations on the list.
‘Unprecedented amounts of spending’
“Of the 200 corporations we examined, we could sum the financial rewards for 179,” said the foundation’s report. “Of those, 138 received more from the federal government than they spent on politics, 102 of them received more than 10 times what they spent on politics, and 29 received 1,000 times or more from the federal government than they invested lobbyists or contributed to political committees …”
The foundation also pointed out that the high court, in its Citizens United ruling – in which a majority of justices ruled that corporations and unions could essentially donate unlimited amounts of money to super PACs – made this determination: “The appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in our democracy.” But a quick survey of Americans finds this statement to be absurd on its face; most Americans, the foundation said, were fed up with the way the government currently operates.
And, as the campaign finance-tracking website Open Secrets - operated by the Center for Responsive Politics – noted, following the Citizens United ruling, “unprecedented amounts of outside spending in the 2010 and 2012 election cycles” occurred.
“Giving corporations unlimited power to influence the government corrupted democracy more than any other single act of legislation, and things won’t get any better until Citizens United is reversed,” said an assessment of the study from Ring of Fire Radio. “And since corporations have basically bought and paid for most politicians, it’s highly unlikely that will happen any time soon.”

From Skyfall to SPECTRE: 007 Secrets

jay008 / 2 days ago

Film poster. Image: Imp Awards.

By: Jay
SPECTRE HACKS AND STEALS ‘SPECTRE’!
I thought it odd the new Bond film will be titled SPECTRE, as I have recently written an article about how the secretive organization from the film mirrors the real cabals and cartels that rule the real world, and in particular the black markets.  Indeed, SPECTRE is presented early on in From Russia with Love with this very feature – they are international, as opposed to SMERSH being Russian, and play nation states off against one another.  Transitioning from the Soviet-affiliated SMERSH in the first Bond novel, Casino Royale, SMERSH transforms into SPECTRE, a formidable “terrorist” organization from the ambiguous East.
It is telling that back in the 50s and 60s Fleming was already predicting the transition from the communist threat to the international terrorist threat – something that gave me the indication that Fleming novels are worth a deeper look. With the recent fiasco that is, in my analysis, a staged marketing trick, Sony claims to have been hacked by North Korea and had the SPECTRE script leaked, as well as the “hacker terrorists” threatening 9/11 style attacks on theaters (?) that play Franco and Rogen’s The Interview.
Casino Royale Ca$h Options
I suspect more is at work, given the plot of Skyfall surrounded a former Mi6 operative, Mr. Silva (Javier Bardem), playing a hell-bent hacker intent on wreaking vengeful havoc on M (Judy Dench) and all of Her Majesty’s Secret Service.   It is surely not coincidence that in Skyfall Silva has “back door” technology that brings to mind PROMIS software or the recent hubbub involving NSA spying and Snowden.  With these recent news events in mind, an analysis of Skyfall is overdue.  In the reboot of Casino Royale, we saw Bond engaged in a bout with an associate of what we can assume will be SPECTRE, the infamous LeChiffre, and in my analysis of Casino Royale, I noted as follows concerning the real associations that can be made between LeChiffre’s secret organization and the real cartels that run our world:
“In the beginning (of the Casino Royale novel), however, Bond is not after SMERSH, but a wealthy, disfigured rogue who stuck out on his own and created a “fifth column” from SMERSH, named LeChiffre.  LeChiffre translates as “the cypher,” letting us know more is at work here.  LeChiffre, according to Bond writer Ian MacIntyre, was based on British Satanist/occultist Aleister Crowley.
In fact, Ian Fleming, it has recently been claimed by researcher Anthony Masters, was responsible for crafting the plot to lure Rudolph Hess to Scotland based on a bogus astrological chart that tickled Hess’ fancy, created by Crowley. The plot worked, apparently, and Hess parachuted into Scotland and was captured.  LeChiffre, “the cypher,” has curious features, and like many Bond villains a strange sexual appetite and fixation, in the same vein as Crowley.”
And in regard to put options and dirty financial dealings before 9/11 we can see a curious parallel:

“You’ve got mail! Inbox: Blofeld (1) Image: suitsofjamesbond.com

“While LeChiffre funds an uprising, he simultaneously makes a call to his broker to sell a million puts on Skyfleet, an amorphous airline.  We get the impression LeChiffre plans a terror event that will in some way benefit his selling of the put options.  In terms of esoteric analysis, this begins to look strikingly like the events prior to 9/11 that those “in the know,” know about.  Prior to the terror events of that day, numerous puts had been placed on United Airline stocks, resulting in much speculation as to clear prior knowledge on the part of many in the power structure.  As you can see from this mainstream report, the establishment blames “rogue traders.”  Absurdly, the report purports the laughable line that the retard phony terrorists lurking in caves in Afghanistan were the masterminds behind not only the amazingly complex black operation of 9/11, but also the put options and insider trading.  Why, Al Qaeda is virtually omnipotent and omnipresent!  And in the narrative of Casino Royale, that is exactly what LeChiffre attempts to do, as he has engineered a bombing to occur on the release of a new prototype plane to be unveiled by Skyfleet.”
Quantum of No Solace
Moving to the sequel in the rebooted series, Quantum of Solace, alchemy comes to the fore in Bond’s failed attempt to “bond” with the feminine.  Quantum is the idea of matter or quantity or prima materia, and for Bond, a bit of peace and solace is never attained – primarily because he is a programmed killer, and the final betrayal of Vesper Lynd in Casino can only bring forth a cold, “The bitch is dead” from a unremorseful 007.  This is crucial for understanding Fleming’s novels, as they are just as littered with esoteric images as the films.  Quantum of Solace is a Fleming short story about Bond, but it is not like the film, aside from Bond’s inability to permanently pair with any babes (outside of getting laid).  So, alchemically we saw the Quantum villains have names that are colors, Mr. White, Mr. Green, etc.
Laced with esoteric and occult imagery, Fleming’s novels relate the dark side of mind control in three stories in particular: Casino Royale, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and You Only Live Twice. In Casino we learn that Bond is a programmed killer through his “00” status, in On Her Majesty’s we learn Blofeld is brainwashing young women under the auspices of treating allergies, ultimately plotting to attack England with a bioweapon, and in You Only Live Twice, Bond undergoes a blow to the head that wipes his mind and gives him amnesia.  Thus, the “mind controlled assassin” is very much an aspect of the Bond canon.
In regard to Quantum, the organization that I suspect will be a front for SPECTRE, we learned:

“You should know something about the people I work with. We deal with the left or the right, with dictators or liberators.” -Mr. Greene, Quantum of Solace

“…Quantum is “everywhere,” including inside British Intelligence.  Quantum is a shadowy international group that uses corporate fronts.  In fact, as researcher Phillip Collins has noted, Quantum bears a striking resemblance to the real international intelligence  “get the job done” privatized operation described by Col. L. Fletcher Prouty, titled ‘The Secret Team.”  The Secret Team functioned as a kind of corporate intelligence for hire squad that did what needed to be done.  That is precisely what Quantum is, and Quantum is itself both – the team and the corporation. Dominic Greene we learn runs the organization, whose main front is the Green Movement.
In fact, Greene at one point in the film blames government as the problem, and touts privatization, while demonizing “government.”  Greene is an apostle for the Green Movement, and claims to support numerous environmental causes, and brings to mind someone like Al Gore.  Another interesting point of relevance for reality here is that the Green Movement itself arose out of the Nazi and Europhile mind as a needed return to so-called “nature,” which functions under the guise of caring for the planet, but which is actually a corporate front for the strategic controlling of resources.  That is exactly what Dominic Greene does in Quantum of Solace!”

Illuminist opera La Tosca, with the Church under the Eye of SPECTRE.

Quantum involved the green movement as a scam to rape underdeveloped nations, much like the UN and IMF in real life, assuming the perceptive viewer will make the connection.  It is not accidental the middle of the film contained the massive presentation of the All-seeing Eye during the operatic presentation of La Tosca in Bregenz, and the church is within the eye.  The message here being the control of all aspects of reality, from economics, to environment to church, is encompassed within the grasp of the great eye – the secretive organization (SPECTRE) operates in a technocratic panopticon that sees all.
And what Bond-relevant entity utilized the eye as its symbol?  The classic logo of British Intelligence, Mi5, as seen at bottom.  Is Quantum of Solace telling us on a deeper level that the Anglo-establishment has gained control of all areas of life, including revolutionary movements and the arts, all subservient to the City of London?  I’ll let the reader be the judge, but certainly Quantum was telling more than even Casino Royale revealed.

Managed dialectics: Goldeneye image of monopolistic capitalism and communism as BFFs.

The Sky Falls With Skyfall
When we come to Skyfall, similar themes appear.  Skyfall is about Bond’s past – his family residence, as well as intelligence operations in a new world of cyber (virtual) reality.  As usual, the famous opening sequence reveals the esoteric plot elements of the plot to come – from Bond’s katabasis (death and resurrection) to his psyche being fractured from his assassination programming.  Swastikas are again present, like past Bond films, indicating in my analysis the manipulation of both the left and the right.  For example, in Goldeneye, the opening sequence includes scantily clad hotties tearing down old Soviet statues, but what is actually at work in the opening sequence is a clear presentation of dialectics – the manipulation by the Eye of both sides of the Cold War dialectic.
This is also why Bond receives the Order of Lenin in A View to a Kill.  This seeming contradiction is made coherent when we understand Mr. Greene’s words in Quantum of Solace:  “You should know something about the people I work with. We deal with the left or the right, with dictators or liberators.” In Skyfall, however, we are entering Bond’s subconscious, and sinking with him to the abyss of feath, as Bond is accidently shot by Moneypenny in a botched operation to retrieve a hard drive that contains Mi6 agents embedded with NATO.

Blonde hackers? Is this 1997? Where is the Prodigy?

Bond sinks to the ocean floor and is pulled into a black hole in the ocean’s floor, where a blood skull appears, leading to Bond shooting shadow selves.  The shots break the glass images indicating the fractured psyche Bond has due to his training, torture, and numerous instances of trauma, and the images of pillars signify the deepest recesses and foundations of Bond’s archetypal subconscious.  The shadow self will appear in the figure of Bond’s nemesis, Mr. Silva, who, like Bond, is betrayed by M and Mi6.  Bond is thus tempted to leave his secret service work because of past issues with his own disfigured archetypes of mother and father – he is an orphan.  M thus becomes his mother figure, and numerous times in the film the association of M with the Queen and mother are made, indicating associated archetypes.
Bond will be tempted to deny his loyal patriotic fervor embodied in the figure of Silva, the “traitor.”  As Bond sinks deeper and deeper in the title sequence, we see death’s-head, fiery torture (likely his own torture at the hands of LeChiffre), and Chinese fire dragons.  The presentation of the dragon within the deep or leviathan is interesting, as Bond will venture Eastward in the film to Macau and interact with gangsters involved in the sex trade that work for Silva.  The sequence ends with the camera entering Bond’s left eye, or the left-handed path, where we will see more of the traumatic circumstances that have made 007 into the killing machine he is.

The fractured psyche of a trauma-programmed assassin. Image: animationmagazine.net

As I’m sure readers are aware, the plot is about Mi6 being hacked by Silva and releasing the names of Mi6 agents over time.  This oddly recalls the actual events of Richard Tomlinson which are recounted in his book The Big Breach, as Tomlinson reportedly did leak such names online.  Is Silva a fictional version of a kind of Tomlinson/Assage hybrid?  Possibly, as Silva is given a weird blonde hairdo reminiscent of Assange.  Perhaps the idea of combining two so-called villains of Mi6 into a cyber-terror package was fitting.  The intelligence agencies have played up the so-called threat of cyber terror for years, arguing that total control of the web is the only way to defeat all those hidden terrorists out there, and in Skyfall we even have Silva as the mastermind of a 7/7 style Underground bombing!
Simultaneous with his subway bombing, M is at a government hearing on humint being “old-fashioned,” and in response M reads a Tennyson poem about England still being an empire, but with new enemies.  The new enemies are everyone and no one – hidden terrorists everywhere.  So, a former Mi6 agent is responsible for the 7/7-style event in the film narrative, while in real life, 7/7 had curious connections to western intelligence that have never been adequately explained or addressed by the said establishment.
Like Achilles, Bond is vitally wounded and “resurrected” to return to duty, while a bombed

7/7 london bomber MI6 Agent

Mi6 headquarters has relocated the recouped agency to an underground base, formerly Churchill’s World War II bunker.  The consistent theme of the old versus the new appears throughout the film, as fans are given constant references to classic Bond guns like the Walther PPK and the sleek Aston Martin ride.  With Bond’s new IT nerd Quartermaster, Bond must grapple with the realities of modern cyber-espionage supplanting classic methods of humint and assassinations.  “Is Bond washed up?” is the film’s question, and thus we must go to Bond’s origins and psychological trauma to resolve such issues from his dark past.
Most of the previous is really irrelevant to the ultimate message of the film, which is that terrorists are still everywhere and intelligence agencies, though they keep failing, need more funding to protect us from Tomlinson, Aswat, Snowden, Bin Laden and Assange.  More funding plus more surveillance equals more terror – the equation is quite a cash cow.  The eternal “War on Terror,” as we can see in Fleming’s classic novels, was predicted and planned to replace the Soviet threat, as the Cold War allowed for the installation of the global surveillance grid, and now, the script is flipped on the populace – we’re all potential terrorists, and only skynet can save us!   These classic scams never fail to work, of course, because the mindless public never catches on.

From an esoteric perspective, all the hidden elements are contained in the opening sequence, which then unfold in the narrative.  Bond’s journey Eastward is parallel to his descent into the abyss and “death” at the beginning, as his trip to Macau has him facing the “dragon” of the East, the demonic Mr. Silva.  This is exemplified in his boat ride into the dragon’s mouth at Silva’s casino in Macau.  In Casino Royale, Bond faced LeChiffre, a western “demon” in a casino, and now he must face a demon of the East.  Silva, it turns out, is a master of false flags, having staged a chemical leak on a Chinese island, causing its inhabitants to flee enabling Silva to take up residence for his operations.
Just like the Underground bombing, Silva is a master of staging terror events – but remember – the film places all of this dastardly work on the shoulders of a former intelligence agent.  There are never corrupt individuals within intelligence agencies (except that Quantum did allow for infiltration into Mi6), and anyone who dares to question the mainstream version of attacks must be a traitor to authentic “patriotism.”  Given the immensity of the perpetual lies the Western establishment has foisted upon us since 9/11, does anyone really believe the propaganda message of this film?  If London was really worried about terror, they wouldn’t house radical Islamists in “Londonistan.”

To bring this full circle, Bond’s death and resurrection is emblematic of the reboot of the series.  We know from the supposed “leak” of the new SPECTRE script by unknown “hackers” from North Korea (try to not laugh), the third act is up for grabs.  Will we see Blofeld?  Will we see Kissy Suzuki?  Maybe Lucy Liu (I kid).  In any case, the leaks were obviously a staged PR event, as other mega tech companies have done in the past, and with the new 007 film it is not accidental that Skyfall was about hackers, and now SPECTRE is hacked (by SPECTRE!).  The laughs come, however, when one realizes that the establishment itself is SPECTRE.
The pseudo hacking by North Koreans is tied to the release of The Interview to give a realistic feel to the threat of some unknown SPECTRE on the loose, when the entities that have all the motives and capabilities of SPECTRE are the establishment’s own legates.  Casino Royale hinted at 9/11, Quantum revealed the green scam, and Skyfall whispered about 7/7: We can expect more Blofeldian subterfuge to come, so grab your popcorn and your Walther PPK, because the DPRK is coming!  Indeed, the lyrics of Adele’s theme for the film describe the post-9/11 terror world, where the old has crumbled, and the new “security state” now dominates.  Like chicken little, the false cry of perpetual terror calls forth – the sky is falling, the sky is falling!  When we consider that Chicken Little was a World War II propaganda film by Disney, the reference is likely not accidental.
“This is the end, hold your breath and count to ten,  I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment, let the sky fall, when it crumbles, we will stand tall and face it all at Skyfall.”

Android Existence

December 12, 2014 by Daniel Spaulding

In his classic, prophetic novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, American science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick depicted a future dystopia where the only way to determine the difference between humans and rogue, bio-engineered androids was empathy: the latter were incapable of experiencing and thus demonstrating it. In our own particular time, however, merely a few decades after Dick’s passing, one wonders if such a distinction could be so clearly discerned. The average Apple-addicted hipster only feels empathy, or some simulacrum of it, if it’s trending on Twitter and is followed with a politically correct, therapeutic hashtag. Kony 2012 and Michelle Obama’s #BringBackOurGirls derived meaning from their presence and promotion on social media, with special status accorded to celebrity endorsements.
An endless stream of viral images flows perpetually through the consciousness of modern man. He is increasingly rendered incapable of interpreting this continuous barrage that assaults him through most of his waking hours. Even if only passively, as soon as one sets foot in public, and it must be noted the home is no longer a purely private sphere, one is bombarded by everything from ruthless political campaigns and relentless advertising to the most banal of social-media sideshows. He does not know what, or even how, to feel emotionally, unless there is a click-bait headline attached. A numbing effect permeates the psyche.
Within this environment, modern man should not be blamed too harshly for his cognitive dissonance, petty egoism, and social schizophrenia. His social and psychological conditioning is, of course, not a random byproduct arising out of the chaos of nature or a streak of historical bad luck. Rather, it has been the plan of the social engineers and ruling elites all along. Through a clever combination of state-controlled education, state-aligned media (a psy-op unto itself), and an ever-deepening psychological dependence on technology, modern man casts to the wayside his freedom and free will. He thus becomes a docile, consuming android-subject of the technocratic state.
Yet consent is still needed for this state of affairs, and modern man is eager to give it. Stripped of his traditional spirituality and organic identity, he can find no reason to reject those who lord over him. As the German patriot Ernst Jünger said, the “great majority of people do not want freedom, are actually afraid of it.” The Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky said much the same thing in his parable of the Grand Inquisitor in the novel The Brothers Karamazov. Indeed, the technocracy operates on much the same philosophy as Dostoevsky’s clever, and quite sinister, elderly Spanish cardinal. The Inquisitor declared that “in the end they will lay their freedom at our feet.” He wasn’t mistaken; there are certainly far too many eager for the sort of slavery that technology and its shapers offer mankind.

Returning to Dick, on another occasion he remarked that the time was coming when no longer would it be said, “They’re spying on me through my phone,” but rather, “My phone is spying on me.” Not only your iPhone, but your washing machine too, according to none other than former CIA director and Bilderberg member David Petraeus. The masses’ ever-widening embrace of and reliance on the latest technological gizmos, manufactured by Chinese indentured laborers held in place with suicide nets, serves to expedite their merger with the ever-expanding surveillance grid. But such a merger isn’t without its benefits. Your iPhone may be spying on you and sending your personal information off to government intelligence agencies and multinational corporations, but it provides you with immediate access to pirated porn, one-click shopping, Candy Crush, and BuzzFeed. The Panopticon is a small price to pay for such luxuries, after all.
The Hungarian-American philosopher Thomas Molnar aptly observed that modern man has become “an extension of machines,” and that while man “likes to play at operating these machines,” he has in fact “become their plaything” and a “soulless accomplice.” At this point it seems difficult to argue with this dismal assessment. In his slothful reliance on technology to provide himself with amusement and diversion, modern man has come under the sway of that same technology and those who control it, assuming an android existence.
