I don’t think Hollywood is the source of the evil in our culture. They just sell it. For 40 years they have modelled the degradation, weakness and violence we now experience in real life. The world has, obediently, descended into drug-fuelled madness, our once peaceful cities into charnel zones of addiction where people are so debased they defecate in public. The violent, degraded people on the silver screen are imitated by vulnerable kids, broken men and women, and the weak-minded wanting to be cool. We celebrate the men who create two hours of violence to be watched by millions, if not billions. A Nazi’s son, Arnold Schwartzenegger marries into the Kennedys, cheats on his wife, humiliates her, and is then treated like a God.
No wonder Hollywood is dying. It may not have created our world, but it’s a stand in for our loathing of leadership, thieves like the Bidens and Clintons, the homicidal Bill Gates, the fascist liars at the WEF and WHO. Hollywood is now the slime-covered porno guy hanging out at the high school looking for the lonely tattooed girl he can sell to his drug dealer friends. This scenario is everywhere now. In every school in every neighborhood, schools are surrounded by drug and human traffickers. Hollywood modelled the violence that rules all over the world. It encouraged it, invented new forms of it, which are then played out in real life.
When I stopped watching anything violent, including premium television, my life changed. Anything that started with a murder, or a full-on sex scene was immediately turned off, and over the ensuing months, I found my life became considerably more peaceful, the geopathic anxiety turned down to near nothing, my sleep longer and deeper. I kept paying the freight to the premium channels, just to drop in, and over the two years I kept them, very very few things made the cut. And then, I found I was sick of having my emotions manipulated, so I stopped watching everything. I dropped into HBO’s “hit” The Idol last month, and found it flat out disgusting on every level. And finally I cancelled the channels. All of them. Except Prime because of the free shipping.
That’s what Hollywood is worth now: free shipping.
In fact, this chart makes it look better than it is. They’ve lost half their audience since 2001, despite population growth. In 2001, they sold $1.49 billion tickets, in 2022 they sold .$8 Billion. Disney lost $900 million on their last five (woke) movies, and DisneyWorld is emptying - there are no wait lines.
That all this rejected “product” is predictive programming is clear to many of us, and becoming clear to a plurality. That it’s created in order to degrade humanity, is less obvious.
We need a digression so I can persuade you of my argument.
When I finished graduate school, I moved to New York’s Tribeca with my husband. The school called and asked if I would take the first cultural policy Ph’D in Canada and possibly even the world. The professor who called I loved – four doctorates, founded Consumer Reports, the real thing, a genius, said you can even create your own curriculum. I didn’t give it a thought. I was living in the culture, embedded in musicians, painters, designers, photographers, writers and was in heaven. Out every night to some performance or opening. New York south of 14th Street was, for a few brief years, a golden age of artistic kids in full expression. Little did we know that the music and even the slang we used had been created for us by behavourists of military intelligence, the CIA and Stanford’s counter-insurgency operation aimed at civilian populations. Stanford’s Research Center (called SRI), today is the largest military think tank, dwarfing Hudson and Rand. Here you can read the book upon which they based their deformation of the human.
I am saying all this to give myself some authority here. I taught myself to write in director Arthur Penn’s office, where, as his assistant, I met nearly every major movie star, writer and director in the US., and when I moved to Time Inc., for the first little while I was an arts reporter, interviewing those people. They were almost all wonderful, kind, friendly, inspirational. Even the Redgrave family, all the famous families of actors and writers, were rooted in the real world, a world I recognized.
This isn’t about the artists therefore, this is about the people who corrupted and destroyed their industry.
Also, bear with me here, my mother was a victim of the CIA’s MK-Ultra program. Her first child died, and she had post-partum mixed with extreme grief and ended up in the Allan Memorial. There she encountered one of the 20th century’s bad men (there are so many of them), who was conducting mind control experiments for bloody Allan Dulles, a more evil man I cannot imagine. When I researched my first book, about this … this thing… I went to DC, and pulled all the boxes of MK-Ultra Subproject 68 in the National Archives and read through them. MK-Ultra was very very real.
Sub-project 68 it was only one of hundreds. Another took place in Hollywood in the 60’s and 70’s, when they were trying to create the Manchurian Candidate and decided the kids of the beat generation and the flower children were perfect experimental subjects. Stanford was a pioneer in this attempt to manipulate behaviour and many of their experiments were planned and run out of the military bases in California. Many of the musicians and producers of the 60’s generation were children of military intelligence, and some of them, apparently, were operatives.
The goal was to first of all stop the peace movement, corrupt the protests against the military-industrial complex, destroy the ethic of gentleness, of loving everyone, of flowers stuck in the barrels of guns. But most of all, it was a bunch of egomaniacs with a new toy they wanted to play with so badly, they would employ it against their children, especially children who held their fathers accountable for war.
Massive amounts of drugs were introduced into the culture by the CIA and the drug companies, including LSD and there were many many murders. Charles Manson was clearly an attempt at a Manchurian Candidate; at one juncture he auditioned for Neil Young who considered him a good, even great musician. Somewhere along the line, after a drug overdose, he ended up in hospital, then a lab. Where he was programmed to kill. There were hundreds of deaths of the prominent and adjacent prominent in that musical generation, and given what I know, a little jump to say, those deaths were part of an MK-ULTRA experiment. To reiterate, the legal drug companies were all over it.
Hollywood always had its ghastly sexual perverts, but it was then that it turned to violence and the breaking of the family, the smashing of the culture, the deliberate ruination of generations. The destruction of the cities, the hard sell of violent drug-fuelled anger being somehow ok. It was an admixture of hardcore hate-filled Marxism and an enormous profit centre for the titans of our culture: the drug business, legal and not. Break people, get them addicted. If not addicts then roil them with one manufactured horror after another. If it wasn’t an actual horror, an assassination, a riot, serial killers, a school shooting, it was filmed horror. The goal was to turn humans into passive sheep, so confused and shocked that they gave away their agency. Gave it to the government to keep them safe.
This, above everything, is the reason for the passivity we see today. We are frankly terrorized. In my little world, the government is a compendium of incompetence and malignance and no one does anything but complain. Fifty years ago, in Vancouver, my (Christian) great aunt and uncle knew where every sparrow fell in their city. And they or their (Christian) friends picked it up and set it right. Now we watch people dying on the street and do nothing. Fathers are knifed to death outside of Starbucks in front of their children. But Christianity, the only activist faith that isn’t murderous, is excoriated, and Hollywood celebrates Baal, Lucifer, Baphomet.
This is the beginning of the end. Hollywood as it is now, is dying. Their culture of violence and sexual brutalism is dying. Their wokery is the offending trigger, but this response is deeper and longer lasting, more fundamental. If they continue on their path, they will lose everything.
What will replace it? This:
and this:
and….believe it or not, this:
The biggest pop star in the world right now is Kim Kardashian; she and her family are an assertion of the good in the face of titanic evil. I know what you are thinking but God works in mysterious ways. The Kardashians are pretty much all the good the monsters will let through. The Kardashians represent for the masses, not the people reading this.
The Kardashians are good predictive programming
The Kardashians refuse to limit themselves, to become small, scared little-people. They birth more children every year, their houses and lives are filled with abundance and love and their primary primary focus is their family, and the wellbeing of every single member. They love each other, care for each other, are vulnerable and strong and connected. They go to church every Sunday, they pray in public all the time. Almost two billion people, more, follow them, and because they are mixed race, they reach into the farthest corners of the developing world. They are good predictive programming. Do you think the kids in the developing world who scream for these girls are dreaming of 15 minute city prison camps with one child, no family, no possessions? Nope, the Kardashian life is what they want, lit by the sun, guided by God, big, abundant, loving, growing. It may be just as fake as The Idol or the repellent and frankly demonic, Beyonce, but unlike them, theirs is a dream of the good.
May that world return

by the way, paid subscriptions are ending up as subscriptions to Medium. Stripe is making this mistake and I mean to change it as soon as I can get their attention.
Hmmm . . . You had me til your K theory. I was ready to send this to my relative until I read that! Because I know for a fact she won’t buy it, just like I don’t.
Voyeurism and Display that the K’s have invited and promoted for decades now is equally as evil. Furthermore, that family is a hotbed of whoredom on so many levels, including wokeness and globalism and its shove of inter-racialism down everyone’s throats. They are *bad* predictive programming, not good.
Outside of that, regarding “And then, I found I was sick of having my emotions manipulated . . .”: I have felt the same about music with lyrics for many years now. I no longer listen to music very much, and definitely don’t listen to it in my car. Actually, all sound is off when I drive. No news or podcasts or anything. My drives can be very peaceful or painful, depending upon how I’m already feeling inside, as opposed to allowing my mood to be constantly influenced by a playlist of 3-to-5 minute mini-fantasies manufactured by someone else.
Thanks, Elizabeth. Unfortunately, we all manipulate and are susceptible to manipulation. Personally, it is what drives me bonkers. Growing up as an Army Brat I wasn't exposed to very much television and so escaped a lot of programming in my formative years. After all what kid wants to watch Cowboys and Indians speaking German? WTF? Anyway, series programming always bored me but I did and still watch movies with violence. They always had an easily identified hero and bad guy, however. Now, try to find a movie where it's clear that the plot is good vs evil. Good and evil are blended further pitting folks against each other. Let me ride with the John Waynes, Charles Bronsons, Clint Eastwoods and yes even Keanu Reeves restoring justice and fair play. I saw a T-shirt a while back and wish I had bought it. It said “Don't mess with me. At my age, a life sentence ain’t much!” Be well girl, I'll ride with you.
