Oh my goodness, there's no stopping this thing, is there? We're indeed in the times when they don't even bother disguising
the message any more but a quote from Isaiah puts it in perspective:
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
There's a war raging and it's an unknown war yet for most people still tied to their shopping centre lifestyle and credit card debt, the loss of all values except "do as you will" and the slow slide into the new feudalism. Into this comes a film which would never have been made for children twenty years ago and it's straight black theology - the Golden Compass.
Where to start within the constraints of a blog post?
In this heavily symbolic film [the first indicator], each person has no soul but a personal daemon beside them. The daemon is good, a protector [second indicator] and the Catholic Church is the Magisterium. Superimposing the clinical white torture chambers of the future [third indicator] on the "evil" church, all dissent is suppressed, everything is based on a lie, the black priests contrast with the fair-haired and white clad daemons, whose allies, the witches [fourth indicator] come to the rescue.
The evil church is experimenting on children, reducing them to spiritless robots called gobblers and it is up to the heroic gypsies, polar bears, witches and the star child to rescue them from the clutches of the church and their Russian speaking cossack guards. The dastardly deed is:
... cutting away the child's dæmon by a process called intercision which is equivalent to disconnecting their souls from their bodies [fifth indicator] ...
... precisely the aim of the dark side in RL and the diametric opposite of the aim of Christianity which is the synthesis of the spirit and body. But no one knows that any more, do they? No one has been brought up any more with any knowledge of the old scripture, which states this as clear as day.
This is meant to be a kids' film? Bl--dy hell. The kids learn to love black and distrust white. Yeah, right on.
What impression did the film makers hope to make on kids? Nicole Kidman, Eva Green, Daniel Craig and many other stars should have ensured a perfect reception in kids' minds. "As of July 6, 2008, it had earned $372,234,864 worldwide."
Not quite what they'd hoped for.
Near the end of the film, the high witch Eva Green, [my, she loves these roles, doesn't she], explains to the star child that the Magisterium is trying to take over the whole world and other worlds too, stifling free speech, regimenting people and that a war is coming which will consume everyone.
Now, that rhetoric and modus operandi is straight from the Illumined Ones and the world elite - has anyone ever heard a Christian church preaching that, even the Catholic Church? And yet because the ground has been made fertile over three decades now, with education, the media and the arts all white-anted, the anti-truth will be received wisdom for the zombified but for mavericks of the old school - it's going to be an uphill battle.
A blog post like this will only convince people that the blogger is off his brain, won't it? Should this blog just lighten up and watch everyone sleepwalk to oblivion? Not much else it can do.
