The Perfect Weapon (Part One)

What if you had a weapon so powerful that you could control, say, the largest and most influential nation on the face of the earth (and several more besides) without a military invasion? You could cause the vast majority of the population to line up and obey you virtually without question?

Sound like science fiction? Alien mind control? Nope. Such a weapon exists and has been in use for over 70 years.

The downsides are that it takes a little while to take full effect and it’s expensive. On the other hand, it’s incredibly effective. It works best when used in conjunction with a couple of other weapons, and when it has taken effect, it is near impossible to counteract. Note that I said near impossible. I’ll get to that in a later article.

This weapon has the capability to “make men love their servitude”.

Curious?

It was used by the Comintern (in it’s time, it was the organization charged with spreading communist rule) to invade the Western world. They code-named it “Babylon”.

Control over this weapon was in dispute starting sometime in the ‘30s but by the late ‘50s the Marxists had full control.

And chances are that you have been directly affected. Doubt me?

The weapon is called film, and the control center is Hollywood, California.

The power of film is that it has the ability to take an unsuspecting audience and change the way they look at the world—their worldview. However slight this change might be in many cases, when multiplied out over hundreds, even thousands of movies and several generations, the result can be catastrophic.

The reason for this is that a movie is essentially a story. It takes place in a world, whether present-day planet earth or otherwise, that is fabricated by the filmmakers. They decide what consequences each character faces for his or her actions and pose the questions that the audience will ultimately answer by looking at the example given in the story.

This enables filmmakers to color their audience’s view of the world and even program their reactions to match those of the filmmaker.

Another element that lends additional power to the film medium is emotion. Film, being at its core art, is based on emotion. Oh, sure, it can get you thinking, but it does that by triggering an emotional response. I won’t bother trying to explain all of the different techniques used to achieve this goal at the moment, but believe me, these people know what they’re doing!

In the next article, I’ll talk more about how film influences people today and give examples of how a movie works to color and bend your worldview to more closely match those of its makers.

You’ll be amazed when you see some of these tactics and discover how many of them have been at work on you!
