A Nominee

Wednesday night Disney/ABC premiered a pre-critically acclaimed new drama series. Are you ready, Hugh?<br><br>The Nine<br><br>I'm by no means up to speed on all the details of the debate/discussion/speculation presented here. But I wonder if I'd have made any association consciously without having followed it somewhat.<br><br>My not so rigorous intuition really got a tug from this one though. I think the series concerns nine people held hostage together in a bank robbery, and how their entwined lives subsequently play out.<br><br>My whiff of suspicion is less related to keyword highjacking and more about how curious it is that such a potent occult phrase (see Levenda, Jeff, and others) will now be in much more mundane circulation than ever before. <p></p><i></i>

The title 'The Nine' doesn't ring any bells with me or Mr. and Mrs. couch potato. Yeah, vaguely occultish but no keyword hijacking..<br><br>But I'll bet that the show will be <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>a parable about the War on Terra and domestic divisions.<br></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br>I think the plot device of a hostage drama is more the 'message' with the intention to both create anxiety and, just guessing, having the hostages experience stress differently and bicker as if the bank robbers were the 'al-Queda' threat that Homeland inSecurity wants us to think about.<br><br>I foresee some hostages doing the sympathetic Stockholm Syndrome thing with the terrorists - I mean - bank robbers and thus 'endangering all the hostage's lives.'<br><br>Y'know. Like those 'capitulating hate-America-first liberals' who criticise the neocons and their GOP henchmen for illegal wars and torture.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I was giving my friend one of Peter Levenda's books in a parking lot near the mall and was blown away when I noticed the billboard over us, looming from behind the Taco Bell. It read:<br><br>THE NINE <br><br>and there were nine sets of eyes staring down at us. O.o <br>Advertising for the television series.<br><br>Levenda's first book in his series entitled Sinister Forces is called "The Nine" <br><br>Of course, we laughed it off...heh...(gulp)<br><br><br>Hello to you NMFascism<br><br>I picked up Wilhelm Reich's "The Mass Psychology of Fascism".<br><br>(I don't think this is going to be easy to fix.)<br><br>Anyone know what Reich thought of Jung, or Jung thought of Reich?<br><br>Eternally Yours, Terry<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

i think I remember something about Reich thinking jung was too abstract with his concept of archetypes.<br><br>Dunno what jung thought about him tho. I think i read that in a cartoon biography intro to Reich many years ago so I could be getting wires crossed. <p></p><i></i>

He had a television programme on public broadcasting that was called the Open Mind that we all referred to as The Empty Head. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>His name was Richard Heffner and he was a very starched guy.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> But the fellow who produced Cruising was a rock and roll concert producer named Jerry Weintraub and he had produced concerts of Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra and many others. And he produced the film Cruising and he's a typical American out-going guy.<br><br>So he invited Richard Heffner to come to his house to see the film at his house, which is never done. The head of the ratings board at your house! I mean, we don't even know who is on the ratings board. There's seven or eight people that are chosen, somehow... I think they're members of the parent teacher association or something! Literally. And we don't know who they are or how they come to their decisions. But there is a head guy who can influence these decisions.<br><br>Jerry called this guy Richard Heffner, who we didn't know, said: "Hey Dick. Why don't you come to my house and watch the picture? I've got a beautiful house at the beach." Sure enough, Heffner turned up at the house for dinner to see Cruising before it had been rated, to give it a rating. And we sat around at dinner watching the ocean waves and the moon. Jerry had several wines and it was sensational. Finally we left the dinner table. Jerry and Mrs Weintraub and myself and Heffner to go into Jerry's screening room and he was going to see Cruising.<br><br>And the film comes up and - I was sitting behind him - and every two minutes or so I hear him sigh and groan. And pretty soon the jacket came off and then the tie came off and then the collar. And I can hear him screaming. And then the lights come up, and he's just sitting there. Jerry and I look at each other and then Jerry says: "Well Dick, what did you think?" And Heffner says: "What did I think? What did I think! Jerry, this is the worst movie ever made. This is awful." And I'm sitting there. And he says: "God, this is terrible. How could you do this! How could you make this film!" And Jerry says: "But what's the rating?" And he said: "Rating! There are not enough Xs in the alphabet! I would have to go and find Xs from some other alphabet. This is a 59,000 X rating is what the rating is!"<br><br>And Jerry said - and Jerry was a marvellous actor in his own way - "Dick, you can't do this to me. My life is on that screen. Do you understand that, my whole life is up there. If this film doesn't make money I'm broke. This house goes. My kids." He was virtually on his knees pleading with this guy. And at the end of this, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, Heffner was all red, red and sweating. He couldn't look at me because I had perpetrated this deed and ruined his dinner. But in the end he said: "Look there's a guy in New York who is my predecessor. He's the guy who started the ratings board. His name is Aaron Stern and he is a psychiatrist in a private practice. Very often we use him now to consult with difficult films. Why don't you go talk to him and see if he can help you."<br><br>I knew Aaron Stern because he had formulated the code for the ratings board and he gave The Exorcist an R rating with no cuts. (R of course meant that children under 16 years of age were restricted from going unless accompanied by a parent.) And he gave the film an R rating without a single frame cut. So I was delighted. So I called Aron and I told him that Heffner said he could help, maybe. And he said, "Yeah, I'd be happy to help you guys. My fee is £1,000 dollars a day." About 50 days later we had a film that had been cut and messed around. The reason people say that they don't know what happens at the end of this film is because it's all been cut out.<br><br>I started to play games with these guys. While they were making me take out first shots and then whole scenes I decided to insert various material. Two or three frames of things that I knew they wouldn't see that are in the film to this day. For example, I had shots of male homosexuality, openly, in the film. You know, men being intimate with men. And I cut two or three frames of this into portions of the film and they're still there to this day and the ratings board would never see it.<br><br>In the end, I sat down with Stern and Heffner and ran the picture for them in a screening room and I ran it right through and asked them if they saw anything else I should take out and said it was fine, great.<br><br>MK: Aron Stern was the person who got The Exorcist through. It's a particularly moot point at the moment because 25 years later the film is just about to be re-released. When it first came out to the American censors they saw that it was clearly a film which depicts a struggle between good and evil and that the material in it which is graphic is there for a purpose. I remember reading a statement from Jack Valenti who said he had no problem with an R rating because, if you looked at the film, there was nothing in it that was not crucial to the way the drama worked. There was nothing in it that could be considered salacious.<br><br>Now we have a strange position, which is that 25 years later, the British Board of Film Classification think that that film cannot be allowed on video in England because somehow, if it's available on video, it will destroy their word - even though nobody's really sure how. You made that film back in '73, and I think it still plays exactly the same now, the effect of it is still as uplifting and I defy anyone - love it or hate it - not to be moved by it in some way.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>So Hollywood films are rated and end up censoriously edited by people like Richard D.

Whole lotta nothing, Hugh.<br><br>I've already discussed your Paperclip theory so I don't feel the need to address it again. The previous thread is there for anyone to check out.<br><br>Your armchair theorizing about how films and other media are managed is contradicted by those of us who know people inside the industry or have worked in it. You are wrong, as has been pointed out by multiple posters, yet you hold onto your harebrained examples (Paperclip, Nacho Libre) like a drowning man clinging to a life preserver. <br><br>Can you even contemplate the possibility that you are incorrect? What would it take for you to even consider that? Have you <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>ever</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> been wrong?<br><br>And your example about the ratings board is supposed to illustrate what... that they can be a buch of censorious pricks? Who isn't aware of that? It does nothing to prop up your examples -- nothing. Different issue completely.<br><br>And your bold method of unmasking elites -- finding biographies and putting any mention of an education, military service, or medical affiliation in <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>bold type</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> -- illustrates your over-the-top tendency to jump to conclusions. "My god, he wrote for the <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>New York Times</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->? Must be a Mockingbird! And look at this -- his wife was a <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>psychiatrist!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> How much more evidence do you people need?!"<br><br>For what it's worth, dear Hugh, not everyone who has an education and runs in hoity-toity circles is a fucking Satan worshipping Illuminati elitist. <br><br>How tiresome this has become. <br><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

The Manatee Thesis

Postby robertdreed » Thu Oct 05, 2006 7:01 pm

Correct me if I'm wrong, HMW, but this is the gist of what I'm getting from your overweening interest in deconstructing the entertainment media for subliminal political messages serving a unified ulterior agenda of control:<br><br>"The owners of Big Media have a meeting 2-3 weeks devoted to the topic of how to craft symbolism in order to keep their viewers- especially the American ones- enslaved to False Consciousness. They they often practice their craft with intricate attention to minute details, such as the exact wording of film titles. They factor everything from breaking news events to trends in keyword searches into determining the most effective specific emotional triggers to maintain their psychological control over modern society through manipulating the mediasphere. They then commit the time and energy required to ensure that their guidelines are carried out all the way from the top down, with no protest or whistleblowing from anyone down the chain of command in the military-industrial-entertainment complex over which they preside. <br><br>With this task attended to on a routine and ongoing basis, they then turn their attention to the less pressing business matters requiring their attention."<br><br>If that isn't your implicit thesis- well, then, what is it? <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=robertdreed>robertdreed</A> at: 10/5/06 5:56 pm<br></i>

A case in point...

Postby robertdreed » Thu Oct 05, 2006 8:37 pm

To refer back to another of your "instructuve examples", Manatee:<br><br>In the case of both the book published with the title "3 Days Of The Condor", and the film subsequently released carrying the title of that name, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>there was no public awareness that an international right-wing death squad operation, dubbed by its planners with the code name "Operation Condor", even existed.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> <br><br>By the late 1970s, a few intrepid journalists, including <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>National Catholic Reporter</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> Latin American correspondent Penny Lernoux, had managed to unearth some of the details of a multinational campaign of State terror, directed most prominently by the leaders of juntas in the South American Southern Cone- Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay (with some help from Licio Gelli and his loyal minons in the neo-fascist underworld, and the CIA then directed by DCI George Bush and Gen. Vernon Walters- and it's perhaps also worthy of note that it was the Israeli government of that era who sold the Argentine junta an early computerized system to collate their surveillance and intelligence activities, as well as selling the regime a lot of weapons.) <br><br>But the name known to Lernoux wasn't "Operation Condor", it was "The Banzer Plan"- after the name of its principal articulator, Hugo Banzer Suarez, then military dictator of Bolivia. <br><br>And it wasn't until quite quite a while after the Letelier-Moffitt murders on Embassy Row on September 21, 1976, that any press scrutiny in the English-speaking media was brought to bear on the possibility of right-wing assassination squads involved in carrying out an "official mission" of international scope. The American media was originally fed a false trail of evidence, and CIA Director George H. W. Bush was directly involved in enabling this misdirection. <br><br>And, with a very few exceptions- Robert Parry, Norman Solomon, Donald Freed in his book <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>A Death In Washington</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->- no one in American journalism has ever called Bush on this, and the American public is unaware of the details. <br><br>And that presently obscured history comprises a real, authentic American media scandal- as distinguished from some flypaper theory of everything attempting to project the supposed evidence of a "ruling class plot" onto every semiotic correspondence of perception and language found anywhere within the offerings of popular entertainment or news journalism. <br><br>Oh, the Hugh Manatee...you don't by any chance know somebody named 'emad', do you? This guy 'emad', who used to post around here a lot, then one day he stopped. You have some stylistic similarities- the Bold Assertion and the Grandiloquent Flights of High Dudgeon, for instance... <br><br>you both have a habit of sort of Going Off a bit here and there, too.<br><br>Another viewpoint on Emad:<br><br>"There are a series of rather long posts over at rigorousintuition, by Emad I think, which relate well to jonku's post above. They go into, in some detail, some of the shenanigans we've seen in the last half century, connecting them to Italy and the Vatican. Like Iluminati taking over the Catholic Church etc etc. Very interesting, especially the contention that the Bushes, I and II were whacked earlier in life and replaced by body doubles, two cousins from the Italian Gelli family.<br><br>I would not be so gullible as to recommend this except for the rather obvious but totally unremarked substitution of one of Saddam's doubles for the character who is awaiting trial.<br><br>Anyway, take a look and see if it doesn't make some sense in context. This guy Emad seems to have some credibility. Later I might paste a piece of it here but for now scoot on over and see for yourself.

off-topic movie script fantasy aside...

Licio: "Giorgio, my compatriots are willing and able to help you out. Their special talents, expertise, and unwavering commitment to the execution of their designated tasks is beyond dispute. But surely you must recognize the risks that I would assume if I were to agree to your proposition...the possibility of discovery, exposure...criminal liability..." <br><br>To be clear- that scrap of dialogue doesn't resemble anything emad cooked up in his tenure here.
