And well before today's 'LGBTQ+'s' hysteria - there was Grace Jones in a Bond movie, and the quirky Anne Carlisle in Slava Tsukerman's Liquid Sky.
And long long before any of those there was Virginia Woolf's Orlando.
I mean do we really need to go into all of those other examples as well - Marlene Dietrich, or Joel Grey in Cabaret?
A reader here just raised the interesting question as to whether Stanley Kubrick was giving out some kind of warning with his much-mulled-over 'Eyes Wide Shut.'
So there are high society secret sex parties. So? So they are secret and people try to keep their identities secret and revealing them could be deadly for the person who reveals those identities. Even - so? Corrupt deals are done via such secret circles. Okay so somehow anyone cares now, do they? That is, apparently then, these secret cabals are not so extended into every facet of officialdom that maybe, maybe, some cops and courts 'might' act against some of the corruption, if it were to be found out.
Really?
I don't believe that.
No. That's not what I believe. If you're 'in' you can and you will get away with anything and everything... ...so long as it has been sanctioned by the highest 'lords.'

No need for warnings there. The secret elites are still in power and in absolute control of all worldly affairs. They are at the top and they will suppress and oppress any eccentric officer and/or underling who has the temerity to try and go against them.
It might be that Kubrick was just enshrining a statement of fact in his body of work.
It might surprise some that for many years there have been learned reviewers who always assumed Ian Fleming's 'Le Chiffre' was based on the London occultist Aleister Crowley, whom he knew or knew of through the UK Intelligence Services that they both worked for during WWII.
Less talked about though, is the possibility that the 'Specter' organization was based on HP Lovecraft's dark and sinister occult 'underground' network that he proposed existed, whose members all worshiped some kind of sea monster a bit like a primordial, and supernatural 'octopus' entity. What they did was surreptitiously enter into some thriving organization and kill it from within, taking it over for their own maleficent ends. The members of this occult network had frog-like eyes, and strange mouths, and were hardly human at all. They wrecked everything they touched.
So what is the reason for throwing Pimp-Blackmailer Epstein under the bus now? Its not like this was some big secret or revelation, 4chan, GLP and a whole horde of other anonymous free speech boards had Epstein cold years ago.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like there is a real sea change in who is protected and where. Almost like there is a new shark fin in the mix, faster, and more vicious than the old shark fin.
Yeah I like your second paragraph except I also take the view that Epstein is what Lionel Nation calls a 'limited hang-out.' They've hung someone out to dry. To release some of the steam if it ALL came out. Oh, this thing is not over yet by a long shot. Bill Barr's father first employed Epstein - never went to college - as a maths and physics teacher at a major NY prep school. Epstein is inside the 'circle' all right. They'll 'save' him. Princess Di got killed over this type of thing. They're never going to stop.
ReplyDeleteThe point being Barr is just a 'stable steady hand' in a rocky boat. I trust him to STOP the main messy problems for this phase of things. Not to stop it all dead. He knows he can't do that. 'Good' is a relative term in today's world. Bill Barr is 'good' enough. But he's inside a churning ocean with no bottom other than THE GREAT ABYSS.
ReplyDeleteIt's fascinating to see the imagery of EWS popping up everywhere, including the MSM, now that this Epstein affair is getting aired. I wonder if digital rentals of EWS have gone up?
ReplyDeleteThere are SO many reviews and analyses and critiques of this movie on-line these days, and none of them point out the most obvious thing of all - namely, that the movie just goes step by step PRECISELY through the steps and stages of a Freemasonic 'tracing board.' Kubrick was clearly not speaking of any other kind of 'secret society' than simple basic ol' Freemasonry.
