Mercenaries from the Craft International, a tactical training company for the US military, carried out last week’s false flag operation in San Bernardino, California, according to Steven D Kelley, a former NSA/CIA contractor.
On Wednesday, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 29, stormed a holiday party in San Bernardino, California, killing at least 14 people and injuring 21 in the deadliest mass shooting in the US in three years. Hours later, the couple reportedly died in a fire exchange with police.

Malik had pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group, three US officials familiar with the investigation claimed on Friday. On Saturday, the Takfiri group also claimed the couple as its followers.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said on Monday the couple had been radicalized “for some time.”
Kelley told Press TV on Tuesday that the shooting “is just one in a long string of false flag events that I am afraid to say are not over.”
“We’ll probably be seeing several more before the end of the year, because of the events that are going on in the world, specifically with the NATO being implicated in the buying of oil from Daesh and other events,” he stated.
“So when these things happen they need to have a rapid response which requires a false flag attack. This was very obvious that this was going to happen,” the analyst added.
“The people that were on the scene and saw this happen also reported that three tall white men wearing black shirts, khaki pants and tanned combat boots were actually the shooters. The description is almost exactly what the gentlemen from Craft International, the mercenary organization that was involved in so many other false flags, actually look like. This seems to be their standard uniform,” he noted.

President Barack Obama on Sunday called the California shooting an “act of terrorism” and said the couple who launched the attack “had gone down the dark path of radicalization.”
“They had stockpiled assault weapons, ammunition and pipe bombs. So this was an act of terrorism,” he claimed.
Kelley said “the people that are being implicated – the couple — first of all if they were planning something, if they were radicalized as this is being said, and clearly the NSA, the FBI will be right on the top of these people all the time, but rather than stopping them from doing something, they were nurtured to be used for this exact purpose.”
“I do not suspect that these people have anything to do with the actual shooting. I suspect that these were patsies, no different than Timothy McVeigh or any of these other people who have historically been used to implement these terrorist acts,” the commentator said.
“If you look at the people that were wounded you can see clearly that bullet wounds are not real. The .223 caliber weapon or bullets fired from AR15 – an extremely powerful weapon — would blow someone’s arm off, it is not going to make a small hole,” said Kelley, who is also a weapons expert.
“So clearly this is a very very dirty false flag. Obviously, the United States is getting very very desperate; the government here is very desperate, they need to do something immediately to disarm the United States prior to a revolution, because the people here are waking up very fast, and they are ready to shut down this evil empire. And this needs to happen very soon,” the analyst concluded.
In his televised address from the Oval Office, Obama called for tougher gun controls, starting with a ban on gun purchases for anyone on a US government no-fly list. “To begin with, Congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun.”
“What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semiautomatic weapon? This is a matter of national security,” he stated.
Obama has said the “biggest frustration” of his time in the office has been the inability to reduce unparalleled levels of gun violence in the country.       ( ass pipe, sock puppet )

BLUT UND BODEN

WHY HIDE THE INEVITABLE

The season of Christmas is full of fantastic fairy tales of ghosts, gnomes, elves, sprites, magical reindeer and of course, a jolly old man that represents the cold and wintery nights of Saturnalia.
The ancient name of Saturn was EL. It is the reason why those that were chosen by EL, were called Elites. The elites had knowledge of the secret histories. Secret Societies were formed as fraternities to Saturn. Saturn evolved from praised Lord of Time to the horned God of the underworld, Satan.
Saturn is the planet of greatest misfortune and is responsible for catastrophes conjured in the sanctuary of the sky. Dubbed the planet of devastation and delay, it is the common notion that Saturn simply enhances our agonies and creates bewildered darkness in our lives.

Saturn rules the Winter and not surprisingly, is an ancient harbinger of peril.
Last night, I shared with my audience a German myth about a demonic shadow of Santa Claus called Krampus. Tonight, I have another German myth to tell you about. It is a myth about the science behind climate disruption; something once called “anthropogenic global warming” and much earlier “Blood and Soil” or “Blut Und Boden,” adopted by the Nazis.
Today, we are being told that due to climate disruption, Earth is awaiting peril, and only certain individuals are responsible for the destruction of the environment, when the reality is directly connected to resource depletion and geo-engineering.
We are told the vast majority of the people on the planet are contributing to global warming by using fossil fuels and coal. However, the so-called science of global warming does not include the possibility of resiliency which is a factor in all Earth science. Those who question the motive the climate science movement are meant with derision and threats.
We have been admonished that the science on global warming is settled and it should no longer be debated as to its validity.
The scientists have become so hostile and militant about those who question their data that 20 of them are asking President Barack Obama to prosecute people who disagree with them on the science behind man-made global warming.
Scientists from several universities and research centers even asked Obama to use the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to prosecute groups that “have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change.”
RICO laws were designed to take down organized crime syndicates, but scientists now want it to be used against scientists, activists and organizations that voice their disagreement with the so-called “consensus” on global warming.
The scientists repeated claims made by environmentalists that groups, especially those with ties to fossil fuels, have engaged in a misinformation campaign to confuse the public on global warming.
This type of suggestion shows how desperate the United Nations and its minions of scientists are in developing a bogeyman that will give them a reason to redistribute wealth and to control vital resources needed for global sustainability.
When the powerful elite decide who gets what, when it comes to food, fuel and water, a system will have to be in place that directs and otherwise limits the intake of resources by certain individuals.
Now, it seems that not only are the climate science militants willing to suggest jailing what they call deniers, they are also going after another big gun for support and that is, God himself.
In the first five days of climate negotiations, interfaith activists came, fasted, talked to media, cornered leaders and prayed. In a downtown Paris chapel, hundreds of people, many of them prostrated on the ground, sang and prayed for the climate negotiators and mostly for the world.

Interfaith leaders recently handed top United Nations negotiators a petition with 1.8 million signatures begging for meaningful climate action.
According to Joe Ware of the Christian Aid Foundation, the environment movement, which has primarily been a secular movement, has realized that over the last 30 years or so it’s not been that successful in achieving its goals.
Now we are seeing that its goals are to convince the entire planet that with enough money and support, they can geo-engineer the planet that has a climate that is warming – or cooling depending on who you ask.
Joe Ware wrote in an e-mail “Increasingly Climate Science pundits have looked to faith groups for help in mobilizing a broader movement of people calling for action on climate change. They are actually natural allies as almost all faiths have a theology of creation care at their heart.”
Pope Francis, called a rock star by young religious climate activists, was not in Paris. But as he spoke to faithful in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, he appealed to those deciding on climate change measures to show courage by also fighting poverty, saying “the two choices go together.”

He asked for prayers so that those making decisions on climate measures receive “the courage to always use as their criterion of choice the greater good of the human family.”
Leaders of the interfaith movement believe the world will not act enough on climate change unless it is taught in every church, every mosque, every synagogue, and every temple.
It is unfortunate what is happening is quite simply history repeating itself; it is a history that included the deaths of millions of people.
Guenther Schwab, an Austrian Nazi who had been a strong nature lover since boyhood and by the 1920’s, became very active in the emerging environmental movement in Austria. Many greens or environmentalists joined the Nazi party and pushed for the hereditary idea about the environment. Schwab was a firm supporter of Hitler’s Blut und Boden or “blood and soil.” Blood and soil ideologies consisted of a mixture of eugenics and environmental resource claims of Aryan stewardship.

By 1935, Nazi Germany had passed three landmark green laws at the federal level that were the most environmentally progressive of the era. They were all signed by the Fuhrer and considered to be his personal pet projects. The first was an animal rights protection law passed in 1933, followed by a very friendly environmental hunting law called the Reich Game Law in 1934. The capstone of Nazi ecology, however, was the Reich Nature Protection Law passed in 1935 called the RNG. This particular law was well ahead of its time as it promoted green social engineering schemes over private property along holistic, totalitarian lines. The Nazi slogan for the RNG was all encompassing, “it shall be the whole landscape!” Here is seen the birth of environmental effects reports and permits. Though seldom used, private property could also be expropriated without compensation for environmental reasons. That this was born in Nazi Germany is not an insignificant fact.
It was Nazi Germany’s wild romantic belief in an Aryan cultural superiority based on nature’s laws, all dressed up in political; pseudo-scientific biology and often encouraged with ecological apocalyptic ideas of global warming and cooling because certain people “Jews” were a burden on resources and the environment. Some will argue that many people believed in order to bring balance to nature that was out of control, Jews and Slavs needed to be murdered.
This was the “green” ideology that was embraced and with the apocalyptic rantings of “green” Germans, the pogroms were carried out. This according to them, would ensure a healthier planet and ease the resource depletion on the rest of the world.
In 1958, Guenther Schwab wrote the book Dancing with the Devil, a pseudo religious allegory about global warming. The book actually illustrated the ideas of modern day anthropogenic global warming as outlined by Nazi green party members during the days of the push for Blood and Soil laws.
In the story, Schwab has Satan take a group of potential recruits on a time machine through Spanish history. Moving fast forward from ancient times, the passengers watch as forests melt into sheep pastures. One passenger remarks, “It is as if a dangerous bacillus were eating the skin of a living body.” The Devil laughs, gloating over his progress. In describing the destruction of nature as a Satanic plot, Schwab counted on his readers to respond with anger rather than resignation.
He then presumed that the Devil’s plan can be thwarted, even in Spain. God, in this story, has sympathy for the forests, meadows and untamed rivers. Perhaps this is an unusual role for the God of the Bible, but Schwab assigns it to him anyway.
It was one of the first attempts at illustrating the idea of the possibility that minor global warming comes from industrial pollution.

Schwab’s opinions ring all too familiar with the propaganda of today’s global warming theorists that there is a fragile relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Schwab had written that he believed the Earth would only have 100 years left and industrial pollutants would cause the continuing rise of carbon dioxide in the air.
According to Schwab, “This will absorb and hold fast the warmth given out by the earth. This will cause the climate to become milder and the Polar ice will begin to thaw. As a result, there will be a rise in the level of the ocean and whole continents will be flooded.”
All of these same “theories” were presented by Green Nazi’s of the Third Reich to justify human culling in order to preserve resources.
In every historical account, the idea of using agrarian scares, whether it be climate, or consumption always seems to end with genocidal or eugenics directives where only certain ethnicities or bloodlines are entitled to food, water or shelter.
Many people are unaware that Geunther Schwab, the grandfather of global warming theory, survived the war and went on to be on the advisory panel of The Society of Biological Anthropology, Eugenics and Behavior Research. Schwab was especially concerned with over population and espoused eugenics as a way to prevent an environmental crisis and reduce the strain on resources.
Schwab lived to be 101. He died in 2006. He was able to see his principles of global warming be presented by Al Gore.
The militant nature of the so-called climate science presented, the urging of jailing individuals who question and the recent interfaith leanings to support climate change, is now taking on a serious satanic or Nazi-like totalitarianism.
Hitler stated in Mein Kampf that it is important to “sift the human material” for those who support decisions of the leaders and those who do not support these decisions. He also believed in culling those who were a burden on society.
The agenda of “sifting human material” is also found hidden in the policies of Global Warming Sustainability. Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the Sustainable Development Commission, says curbing population growth through contraception and abortion must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming. He says political leaders and green campaigners should stop dodging the issue of environmental harm caused by an expanding population.

Porritt, a former chairman of the Green Party, says the government must improve family planning, even if it means shifting money from curing illness to increasing contraception and abortion. Do these policies sound familiar?
These policies sound similar to eugenics policies that existed in the United States prior to World War II and were then adopted and practiced by the Nazis in order to purify the blood lines of race in Germany.
Many of these policies were part of the charter of the Trilateral Commission. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Barack Obama’s foreign adviser, was the co-founder of the Trilateral Commission along with David Rockefeller.
The original stated purpose of the Trilateral Commission was to create a “New International Economic Order.” Its current statement has morphed into fostering a “closer cooperation among these core democratic industrialized areas of the world with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider international system.
The global plan is for all countries to live on the level of third world nations. Economic sustainability can be achieved through a process known as “end game” strategies, which include controls on ecological systems such as food, water and air. The agenda would severely limit water, electricity, and transportation – even deny human access to our most treasured wilderness areas, it would monitor all lands and people through tracking and scientific measures such as biometrics and eugenics.
The United Nations has already established a “global police force” that will probably have to duties of enforcing global sustainability laws. The Strong Cities Network was proposed during the 2030 Summit.
The Strong Cities Network is a program hatched by the Department of Justice wherein control of local law enforcement is handed over to a London-based think-tank called the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.
There are now four major American cities that have handed over control of their law enforcement policy and practice to the U.N. and The Institute for Strategic Dialogue, who in turn is controlled by a who’s who of top tier globalist, one-world government, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and other power elite.
While it is common sense that we should be responsible for our environment and keep it free of pollutants from combustion and industrial waste, it is also common sense to recognize despotism that uses religion to disguise a political movement.
It seems that climate science has learned something from Satan, Hitler and radical Islam.

Two Constitutions in the United States

Posted by George Freund on December 10, 2015

The first was illegally suspended in favor of a Vatican “Crown” corporation in 1871    ~ hehe fuck me !  IS any~thin "real" on this freaking planet?   ..besides "we the people " geet the fucking ...shaft ?




Pope (the Crown) meeting with the board of directors of The Vatican Bank

Since 1871 the United States president and the United States Congress has been playing politics under a different set of rules and policies. The American people do not know that there are two Constitutions in the United States. The first penned by the leaders of the newly independent states of the United States in 1776. On July 4, 1776, the people claimed their independence from the Crown (temporal authority of the Roman Catholic Pope) and Democracy was born. And for 95 years the United States people were free and independent. That freedom ended in 1871 when the original “Constitution for the United States for America” was changed to the “THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”.

The Congress realized that the country was in dire financial straits, so they made a financial deal with the devil - the Crown (a.k.a. City of London Corporation – est. by the Catholic Church on Jan 1, 1855 ) thereby incurring a DEBT to the Pope. The conniving Pope and his bankers were not about to lend the floundering nation any money without some serious stipulations. So, they devised a way of taking back control of the United States and thus, the Act of 1871 was passed. With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia.

With the passage of “the Act of 1871” a city state (a state within a state) called the District of Columbia located on 10 sq miles of land in the heart of Washington was formed with its own flag and its own independent constitution – the United States’ secret second constitution.



The flag of Washington’s District of Columbia has 3 red stars, each symbolizing a city state within the three city empire. The three city empire consists of Washington D.C (the D.C. stands for District of Columbia)., City of London Corporation, and Vatican City State. City of London Corporation is the corporate center of the three city states and controls the world economically. Washington D.C. is in charge of the military, and the Vatican controls it all under the guise of spiritual guidance. Although geographically separate, the city states of; City of London Corporation, the Vatican and the District of Columbia are one interlocking empire called “Empire of the City”

The constitution for the District of Columbia operates under tyrannical Vatican law known as “Lex Fori” (local law). When congress illegally passed the act of 1871 it created a corporation known as THE UNITED STATES and a separate form of government for the District of Columbia. This treasonous act has unlawfully allowed the District of Columbia to operate as a corporation outside the original constitution of the United States and in total disregard of the best interests of the American citizens.




POTUS Obama at the Vatican Corporate – the Crown – headquarters

POTUS is the Chief Executive (President) of the Corporation of THE UNITED STATES – operating as the CEO of the corporation. POTUS governs w/a Board of Directors (cabinet officials) and managers (Senators and Congressmen/women). Barack Obama, as others before him, is POTUS — operating as “vassal king” – taking orders once again from “The Crown” through the RIIA (Royal Institute of Intl Affairs). The Illuminati (founded by the The Society of Jesus or Jesuits, the largest Roman Catholic Religious Military Order headed by the Black Pope) created the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) in 1919. The American equivalent to the RIIA is the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR). The RIIA and CFR set up Round Table Groups (based on the King Arthur myths).

What did the Act of 1871 achieve? The ACT of 1871 put the United States back under Crown rule (which is Vatican rule). The United States people lost their independence in 1871.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is the constitution of the incorporated UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It operates in an economic capacity and has been used to fool the People into thinking it governs the Republic. It does not! Capitalization is NOT insignificant when one is referring to a legal document. This seemingly “minor” alteration has had a major impact on every subsequent generation of Americans. What Congress did by passing the Act of 1871 was create an entirely new document, a constitution for the government of the District of Columbia, an INCORPORATED government.

Instead of having absolute and unalienable rights guaranteed under the organic Constitution, We the People, now have “relative” rights or privileges. One example is the Sovereign’s (the People) right to travel, which has now been transformed (under corporate government policy) into a “privilege” that requires citizens to be licensed – driver’s licenses and Passports. By passing the Act of 1871, Congress committed TREASON against the People who were Sovereign under the grants and decrees of the Declaration of Independence and the organic Constitution. The Act of 1871 became the FOUNDATION of all the treason since committed by government officials.

As of 1871 the United States isn’t a Country; It’s a Corporation! In preparation for stealing America, the puppets of Roman Catholic Pope’s banking cabal had already created a second government, a Shadow Government designed to manage what “the People” believed was a democracy, but what really was an incorporated UNITED STATES. Together this chimera, this two-headed monster, disallowed “the People” all rights of sui juris. [you, in your sovereignty]

The U.S.A. is a Crown Colony. The U.S. has always been and remains a Crown (Roman Catholic Pope) colony. King James I, is not just famous for translating the Bible into “The King James Version”, but for signing the “First Charter of Virginia” in 1606 — which granted America’s British forefathers license to settle and colonize America. The charter guaranteed future German Roman Catholic Kings/Queens of England would have sovereign authority over all citizens and colonized land in America.

After America declared independence from the Crown, the Treaty of Paris, signed on September 3, 1783 was signed. That treaty identifies the German Roman Catholic King of England as prince of U.S. “Prince George the Third, by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, duke of Brunswick (Germany’s Brunswick) and Lunebourg (Germany’s Lunebourg), arch- treasurer and prince elector of the Holy Roman Empire (Roman Catholic Church) etc., and of the United States of America“– completely contradicting premise that America won The War of Independence.

Article 5 of that treaty gave all British estates, rights and properties back to the Crown – Catholic Church.

It is agreed that Congress shall earnestly recommend it to the legislatures of the respective states to provide for the restitution of all estates, rights, and properties, which have been confiscated belonging to real British subjects; and also of the estates, rights, and properties of persons resident in districts in the possession on his Majesty’s arms and who have not borne arms against the said United States. And that persons of any other description shall have free liberty to go to any part or parts of any of the thirteen United States and therein to remain twelve months unmolested in their endeavors to obtain the restitution of such of their estates, rights, and properties as may have been confiscated; and that Congress shall also earnestly recommend to the several states a reconsideration and revision of all acts or laws regarding the premises, so as to render the said laws or acts perfectly consistent not only with justice and equity but with that spirit of conciliation which on the return of the blessings of peace should universally prevail. And that Congress shall also earnestly recommend to the several states that the estates, rights, and properties, of such last mentioned persons shall be restored to them, they refunding to any persons who may be now in possession the bona fide price (where any has been given) which such persons may have paid on purchasing any of the said lands, rights, or properties since the confiscation.

And it is agreed that all persons who have any interest in confiscated lands, either by debts, marriage settlements, or otherwise, shall meet with no lawful impediment in the prosecution of their just rights.

It is becoming increasingly apparent to American citizens that government is no longer being conducted in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, or, within states, according to state constitutions. While people have recognized for more than 150 years that the rich and powerful often corrupt individual officials, or exert undue influence to get legislation passed that favors their interests, most Americans still cling to the naive belief that such corruption is exceptional, and that most of the institutions of society, the courts, the press, and law enforcement agencies, still largely comply with the Constitution and the law in important matters. They expect that these corrupting forces are disunited and in competition with one another, so that they tend to balance one another.

Mounting evidence makes it clear that the situation is far worse than most people think, that during the last several decades the U.S. Constitution has been effectively overthrown, and that it is now observed only as a façade to deceive and placate the masses. What has replaced it is what many call the Shadow Government – created with the illegal passing of the Act of 1871. It still, for the most part, operates in secret, because its control is not secure. The exposure of this regime and its operations must now become a primary duty of citizens who still believe in the Rule of Law and in the freedoms which this country is supposed to represent.

This should explain many things including the Popes visit to the UNITED STATES CORPORATION to discuss politics.

I'm afraid all governments are corporations. That's why they can't print their own money. They're not countries as we assume. There was a guy in the United States who assumed the vacant office of President. They threw him in jail. That's why Obama can be a non citizen. He's President of the corporation. The weird thing is why lie about it? If that's the way it is, that's the way it is. It's broken and most minds don't know the system. So we fight over it instead. Maybe this time for the last time.

Star Wars “The Force Awakens”: Is There a Serious Disturbance in the Force?

Star Wars “The Force Awakens”: Is There a Serious Disturbance in the Force?

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was once a happy, but somewhat bored teenager living out his days on distant Tatooine, idly bulls-eyeing womp rats in his spare time, and occasionally making trips to the nearby Tosche Station to pick up power converters.
But every facet of the youth’s old life would change shortly after he ran into a couple of wayward droids, one of whom carried a secret holographic message that led him to crossing paths with an old hermit named Ben Kenobi, who in a past life had gone by the mysterious name “Obi-Wan.”
Thus began the adventure that is the story of Luke Skywalker, last of the Jedi and, thus, heir to a once fruitful legion of knights who protected the common good back in the days before Darth Vader and the Empire succeeded in closing their grip on their little corner of the cosmos.

With just days until the release of the forthcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, fans are gearing up for the seventh installment in this series which, in addition to three prequels that fleshed out Lord Vader’s dark history, will see the continuation of Luke Skywalker’s adventures as a Jedi.
Or will it?
Silly though the question may seem, many fans have begun to wonder, especially in light of the fact that J.J. Abrams has cited Skywalker’s curious absence from the majority of the film’s promotional trailers, posters, and other media as being “obviously intentional.” Hence, those in fandom with whom the Force is strongest have begun to speculate about what role, precisely, Mark Hamill’s character will play.
Giving fair warning right up front, what follows is only speculation preceding the film’s release. However, in order to prevent people covering their ears and delving into fits of rage, I’ll warn that some of the speculative threads we’re about to follow may constitute spoilers, even though they are merely hypothetical. Now that you’ve been properly warned…
What we do know is that Hamill will be appearing in the film, although the obvious absence of imagery of the character through official promotional channels suggests that his role in The Force Awakens might be any one of a number of things: some argue that Hamill may have only limited screen time in the film, while others argue that Skywalker himself may have fallen to the Dark Side (another theory holds that he had actually fallen to the Dark Side already by the end of Return of the Jedi, although for most that is indeed a bit of a stretch).
A few speculative threads even maintain that the film’s Sith villain, Kylo Ren, may actually be Skywalker disguised by a Vader-esque mask he wears most of the time. While this theory remains popular, many sites have argued against it (such as this one), noting that promotional imagery exists that shows actor Adam Driver sans-mask in his portrayal of the character. Additionally, director J.J. Abrams has gone on record discussing what it was like to work with Driver, complimenting his portrayal of the role.
Does any of this rule out the possibility that Luke Skywalker’s character may yet bring a few surprises? We do know that Abrams has something of a history of deception prior the release of his films, having famously denied that actor Benedict Cumberbatch would play the villain Khan in Star Trek: Into Darkness up until the time of release. What if Abrams had incorporated Driver as a “plant” for purposes of misdirection all along, only to later reveal to moviegoers that Luke has begun a weird, cult-like group of Vader admirers that are now hell-bent on restoring things to the chaos that was unfolding during the original three films?
Don’t worry, I don’t really think Abrams would go so far as to employ phony actors for purpose of misdirection (then again, there was plenty of mysterious, bogus viral marketing that went into the promotion for the film Cloverfield, which included this bizarre website devoted to the fictional beverage called “Slusho”). But the mystique surrounding Luke Skywalker seems real, and his curious absence only adds to the effectiveness of that aura of mystery.
Arguably, the effective management of suspense in such a way is part of what is bound to make this film so damned good… so long as it lives up to its expectations. Then again, if Kevin Smith’s opinion is any indication of how we should feel, maybe there isn’t too much to be worried about, after all.
It seems the future of Star Wars is in good hands.
