Film, Literature And The New World Order

Richard Grove of TragedyandHope.com and PeaceRevolution.org joins us on this month's edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order to discuss "Philip Dru: Administrator" by Edward Mandell House. We examine the man behind the work and how the novel presages House's time as the power behind the throne of the Wilson presidency.

On this edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order we are joined by Roderick Long of the Austro-Athenian Empire blog to discuss Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol." Is Ebeneezer Scrooge a model of the modern libertarian, or is this image a distortion of what it means to be libertarian? Join us for this very philosophical examination of the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.

On this edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order James Perloff, author of The Shadows of Power and Truth Is A Lonely Warrior, joins us to discuss the 1970 Hollywood/Japanese production, Tora, Tora Tora! We discuss Perloff's recent article on the Pearl Harbor deception, "Pearl Harbor: Roosevelt’s 9/11" and the pieces of the Pearl Harbor puzzle that the movie leaves out. We get into the details of where the movie came from and how it paints Pearl Harbor as a tragic accident rather than a devious deception.

On this edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order James and Broc West of APPerspective.net discuss Grave of the Fireflies, the 1988 animated film from Studio Ghibli that just may be the greatest war movie ever made. Break out the tissues and prepare for some tears as we hash out the psychological scars this film leaves and examine the movie as a work of art, as an anti-war movie, as a moral tale, and as a stark reminder of how the victors write the history books.

This month on Film, Literature and the New World Order, Tim Kilkenny of RevelationsRadioNews joins us to discuss the 2011 propaganda film, "Contagion." We examine "Participant Media," the media venture of billionaire Jeff Skoll that produces "social action campaigns" for each of its 55 films and seeks to shape public debate in five main target areas, including pandemic disease. In this episode, James and Tim dissect the propaganda techniques and message of the film and point out how the film seeks to shape the opinions of the audience.

This month on the Film, Literature and New World Order podcast, James talks to Guillermo Jimenez of TracesofReality.com about "They Live," John Carpenter's surprisingly prescient 1988 film about a society hypnotized and controlled by an alien species that cannot be seen directly. We discuss the film as a metaphor for the modern day "truth movement" viewpoint of a world controlled by a conspiratorial ruling elite, and what that metaphor can teach us about rebellion and resistance to the system as it exists.

This month on the Film, Literature and New World Order podcast, James explores B.F. Skinner’s 1948 utopian novel, “Walden Two.” We discuss Skinner’s ideas of behavioural engineering, how they are employed in the novel, and why this raises the ire of the general reading public. We also interrogate the roots of behavioural “science” and find it to be ethically and intellectually bankrupt.

How and why did the Afghan-Soviet war start? What was the CIA's involvement in the affair? Who did they support and what were they aiming at? If you're interested in the answers to these questions you won't find them in 2007's Hollywood drama, Charlie Wilson's War, but you will hear them discussed on this podcast. Join us today for another edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order as Pearse Redmond of Porkin's Policy Review joins us to dissect the propaganda and predictive programming of this CIA-Afghan cover up movie.

This month on Film, Literature and the New World Order we’re joined by Will Morgan of The Sync Book to discuss Aldous Huxley’s final novel, Island. A philosophical exploration of Huxley’s imagined utopia, Island raises the question of what paradise looks like and how it can be achieved. Join James and Will for this exploration of the subject from two different viewpoints and discover more about Huxley’s most overlooked work.

This month on Film, Literature and the New World Order James teams up with James Evan Pilato of MediaMonarchy.com to dissect the man, the myth and the legend of Citizen Kane. From the brilliance of the film's production to an examination of the Hearst/Kane/Welles parallels to a discussion about art attacking power, this wide-ranging podcast covers it all.

In this month's edition we talk to Sibel Edmonds of BoilingFrogsPost.com about "Leap of Faith," the 1992 Hollywood flick starring Steve Martin. We talk about conmen and suckers, how and why people allow themselves to get fooled, and how the movie exposes (and reinforces?) the power of belief.

Jack Blood of Deadlinelive.info joins us for this month’s edition of Film, Literature and the New World Order, where we discuss Tom Hansen’s 2013 novel, This Is What We Do. We talk about the themes raised in the book, including the idea of a global leaderless revolution. We also discuss the role of violence in revolution and why such a revolution hasn’t taken place yet.

Today on the Film, Literature and New World Order series, James and Richard Grove of the Tragedy and Hope community and the Peace Revolution podcast discuss Oliver Stone's 1987 flick, Wall Street, and its 2010 follow-up, Money Never Sleeps. We discuss the movies' historical context and significance, as well as how they relate to Grove's own Wall Street whistleblowing experience.

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.

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.

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 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 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. 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.

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.
