Trollhunter – FLNWO #10
 |
In this month’s edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order, Tom Secker joins us to talk about Trollhunter, a 2010 Norwegian found footage mockumentary about a secret government agency that is dedicated to disposing of (and concealing evidence of) trolls. We talk about the mockumentary genre, conspiritainment, how socialist societies deal with national security threats, and much more. |
Kipling’s “Kim” – FLNWO #09
In his 1901 novel Kim (audiobook here) Rudyard Kipling paints a vivid portrait of an orphaned vagabond in 19th century India. After joining himself to a Tibetan lama on a spiritual quest, Kim stumbles into the middle of the Great Game for imperial conquest of Central Asia between Russia and Britain. Joining us to examine the continuing importance of this novel is David L. Smith of the Geneva Business Insider.
Gaslight – FLNWO #08
In this edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order we welcome Thomas Sheridan, author of The Anvil of the Psyche, to discuss Gaslight, the 1940 British psychological thriller that introduced us to the concept of ‘gaslighting.’ In the discussion we point out how common gaslighting is, ask “Are you being gaslighted?”, talk about techniques for defending oneself from gaslighting, and talk about how this technique is used on a societal level by the psychopaths at the top of the pyramid.
The Lord of the Rings – FLNWO #07
The Lord of the Rings is an epic tale of good and evil, centering around a lowly hobbit’s quest to destroy the One Ring with its magical power before it falls into the hands of Sauron, the dark lord. The story is well-known by now, if not in its own right then from the popular Hollywood adaptations of the tale. But what is the deeper significance of the story? What does the ring really stand for? Is the ring a symbol of our quest for political power, and if so, then was Tolkein an anarchist? Join us this month on Film, Literature and the New World Order as we explore these issues with Andrew Hoffman, co-host of the Revelations Radio News podcast and author of “The New World Order and the Eugenics Wars.”
Enemy of the State – FLNWO #06
Enemy of the State is a typical Jerry Bruckheimer Hollywood blockbuster, including a Hollywood A-list cast and enough chases and explosions to keep even the most easily distracted fixated on the screen. But beneath the Hollywood gloss there is a remarkably prescient story about total government surveillance…and the risks associated with that power. Join us this week as we examine the CIA-approved predictive programming of this 1998 action flick.
The Catcher in the Rye – FLNWO #05
The Catcher in the Rye. Since it’s publication in 1951, it has become an iconic work of American literature. In its gritty idiomatic style, it has captured the imagination of generations of disaffected young boys. But is there something more to the novel than young teenage angst? Today on the program we explore the appearance of this book in the assassination of John Lennon and the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. We also explore the real roots of Holden Caufield’s angst in childhood sexual abuse.
Soylent Green – FLNWO #04
This month on Film, Literature and the New World Order we talk to James Evan Pilato of MediaMonarchy.com about Soylent Green, the 1973 sci-fi movie based on the 1966 novel Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison. We discuss the differences between the book and the movie, the eminent personage who wrote the introduction to the book, and how the story has been used to predictively program some of the favourite memes of the eugenics propagandists.
