Batman: The Dark Knight Rises is the final installment in the Christopher Nolan trilogy and, in my opinion, is excellent. Like the previous two, the concluding film is just as esoteric and filled with predictive programming as the others, yet stands out as preeminent. This final film is the climax of this version of revelation of the method par excellance. The entire essence of this film is concerned with how the system itself operates on the deepest levels—levels far beyond what most people are able to comprehend. Like the rest of Nolan’s films, this one resonates with a particular Jungian ethos, almost to the level of Inception. In fact, Dark Knight Rises is very similar to Nolan’s Inception, and, believe it or not, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth.
In fact, Nolan even takes Dark Knight to the higher esoteric level of including actors from previous films and roles to play them again in this film. As I myself and Ross have discussed on Jay’s Analysis, this often turns out to be the case, especially in the case of the top Hollywood figures—figures like Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, and now, it seems, Rachel Weisz. Among males you can see it with Robert DeNiro Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise. Granted, some roles are chosen on the basis of having a certain “look” adapted from another role, but as I argue, and as we see in films like Mulholland Drive, roles are often chosen for deeper, occult reasons. Think about Heath Ledger in Batman: The Dark Knight, and then his role in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and then his strange death.
“What?” you say, “Why, that’s wacky.” That’s because your view of the world isn’t the same as those who understand liturgy and ritual. The study of liturgics is not some dry, dusty, arcane academic discipline for old religionists to haggle about. Liturgics to those who know, is the very heartbeat of the universe itself. It is itself the meaning of things. Granted, one can learn about metaphysics or science in philosophy or at some university, yet these are merely fields that operate in the realm of bare knowledge. Knowledge itself is lacking in that it is static and merely one of the divine energeia.
All the bad guys rolled into one.
To combine will and action in harmony with intended purpose in the service of God in symbolic act is meaning, and thus all of life becomes a liturgical ritual. Most ancient religious traditions have some notion of this. Thus the standard exposition most “conspiracy theorists” and/or critics give is done at the most basic level of plot, interpretation of meaning, technical achievements, and possible “Illuminist” symbols. While there is a place for all of that, none of them understand the principle of the film itself, including the actors and their own experiences, the set, the script, etc., all coming together at a certain time, with a certain zeitgeist behind it. A couple good books on this I would recommend would be Mircea Eliade’s The Sacred and the Profane, Abraham Heschel’s The Sabbath, and any basic introduction to liturgy. Such a radical alteration of perception is only achieved by investigation into, and participation in, liturgy. Those who have experienced this will understand, and those who haven’t will not. But regardless, films are themselves a kind of ritual ‘working,’ and whether the 99% of the critics out there acknowledge or know this is irrelevant: it is true.
“Baroness, why do I feel like Cobra Commander is wearing a Bane mask and once again ripping off my style and screwing us over?”
In fact, as I write this, it has just happened that several people have been killed in a Dark Knight Rises premier in Colorado. Readers of this blog will be aware of Colorado being outlined in other films and in reality as a new, more secretive command base for various elite factions. Think of the Denver Airport and the Columbine events. The RT article states:
“Police say that the assailant initially opened a gas canister. Witnesses recounted hearing a hissing sound and smoke, and then the shooting started.
Some say that when they first heard the gunfire, they thought it was some new type of special effect.
“It was chaotic, it was surreal, it was like in a movie,” one of the witnesses told 9news Denver TV station. Read more of this post

Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian"
By: Jay
Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the last century, ranked by many with Moby Dick and Absalom! Absalom!, while some have called McCarthy the heir apparent to William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor. Blood Meridian is certainly not your average book, and as such, many find it difficult and inaccessible. As Harold Bloom notes, it is a modern great, and in may respects resembles Homer or Dante. However, Blood Meridian is also more than a novel: it is a statement about many things, the most crucial of which is McCarthy’s gnostic tirade against life as it is.
Critic Leo Daugherty’s thesis is thus only partially correct: that the novel is a “gnostic tragedy,” and this is precisely what endows the novel with its elevated style and inaccessibility. Daugherty’s thesis is too weak: to those steeped in the theological discourse of the early patristic period, including the polemical tracts of the early fathers such as Irenaeus of Lyon, it is quite clear that Blood Meridian is brimming with gnostic themes and ideas on virtually every page, and is fact is a gnostic polemical tirade. Daugherty is correct about it being gnostic. However, there are many elements he misses and misinterprets. My purpose is to respond to his statements, as well to Bloom’s claim that it is incorrect to see the Judge as a gnostic figure or archon, but rather that he should be cast as more of an enigma. Bloom claims:
The citations and references to the work of Jacob Böhme, who is, after all, a very specific type of Kabbalistic Gnostic… I think you would have to say that they’re something of an evasion of the themes in Blood Meridian. McCarthy knows exactly what Gnosticism is, and he could have made Judge Holden into an explicitly Gnostic figure if he’d wanted to. He wants to keep Judge Holden completely inexplicable. Saying that he is a sort of Gnostic demiurge is too facile for McCarthy’s portrayal of him.[1] Read more of this post

The Golden Gate Bridge destroyed in Land of the Lost
[Note: This originally appeared on my old blog a few years ago. The Guardian also wrote a similar piece around that time, however, not connecting it to 9/11 and planned events.]
By: Peter Parker
By now, most ardent followers of crypto-history may have become familiar with the hypothesis that the events of September 11, 2001, were not merely rigged by elements within “the secret government” but in fact heralded by myriad semiotic tip offs intentionally embedded within mass media in the years and months leading up to the attack. The alleged examples are numerous; the pilot episode of the “X-Files” spin-off series “The Lone Gun Men” the plot of which involves the shadow government attempting to instigate a profitable war by crashing a passenger plane into NYC and blaming it on terrorists. (The episode aired mere months before 9-11).
The movie “Gremlins 2: The New Batch”, featuring the titular monsters wreaking havoc in a towering, New York City office building. It is possible that all this is nothing more that a series of coincidences and that people are merely overreaching in an attempt to make sense out of a horrible tragedy.
Bridge taken out in Star Trek (2009)
But let’s, for argument’s sake, say that the power elite really do place symbolic markers in movies, tv, comics, songs, magazines, video games and the like, in an attempt to mock the masses or guide them through implanted, subconscious programing. If this is the case, it might be possible to beat our dark over lords at their own game through a vigilant screening of mass media. With this in mind my brother and I recently became aware of a disturbing trend that might point to something ominous on the horizon. Read more of this post

Sometime contributor, Ross H., has made a stunning discovery – the 1994 Iron Man cartoon episode “The Grim Reaper Wears a Teflon Coat” shows the two towers being taken down by a rogue plane, as well as the Pentagon:

Part 2 of the same episode shows the Pentagon being hit by a plane, as well.

Film poster
By: Peter Parker
So, I got dragged by a friend to go and see the film Paranormal Activity 2, despite the fact that I never saw the first Paranormal Activity. In the long run, I don’t think my missing the first one mattered all that much. Without giving away too much, the plot centers around a family whose house is being haunted. Initially they mistake the haunting for a home invasion and respond by purchasing a high-tech security system with cameras and microphones in every room, recording their activity 24 hours a day. The film purports to be real footage of real events, edited together from the security camera recordings. As I understand it, this is basically the same premiss as the original Paranormal Activity.
In presenting itself as being composed of real footage, PA2 is also similar to such pseudo-documentaries as the original Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, District 9, and the The Fourth Kind. On the one hand, this recent attempt by Hollywood to blur the line between fiction and reality, can simply be taken as a way of giving a movie a creepier atmosphere. Even viewers who enter the theater with the understanding that they are watching a fictional story, might find themselves being drawn into the film’s pretense of reality. Our minds have been culturally conditioned to receive documentary style narratives as something more than a mere fantasy concocted for our entertainment. Thus, even if it is only on a semi-conscious level, the story presented by a “pseudo-doc” is often able to fly under the radar of our suspension of disbelief. The more believable a film is, the greater the emotional response from the audience or so the theory goes anyway.
Of course that’s just the superficial examination of the pseudo-doc’s ostensible purpose. Readers might be familiar with the methods of deeper textual and pre-textual analysis applied to various Hollywood films elsewhere on this site. These readings operate under the assumption that mass cultural itself is often used as a covert tool to inculcate the public into some form of elite agenda or philosophy. If we consider both the first and the second Paranormal Activity in this light, we see a film series which normalizes the idea of the so-called panoptic state. The very nature of the pseudo-doc acclimatizes the audience to a voyeuristic mind-set (a necessary ingredient for any functioning panoptic state) but Paranormal Activity 2 goes a step beyond this. In presenting 24 hour video surveillance as the only natural recourse to a supposed home invasion, PA2, lowers the bar where our standard of personal privacy is concerned. Seriously, not one member of the family even bats an eye over the idea that they’re all going to be recorded at all times from now on. Frankly, they should be more scared of that prospect than any (SPOILER WARNING) first-born son stealing, invisible demon thing. PA2 is not the only recent film psychologically preparing us for a surveillance state, the incredibly popular 2008 film The Dark Knight, has Batman (a character who is the very symbol of moral justice itself) converting all of Gotham city’s cellphones into an omnipresent sonar network.
