In 1995, the Smashing Pumpkins released the song, “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” a song written by front man Billy Corgan.

The first four lines and chorus are as follows:

“The world is a vampire”

“Sent to drain”

“Secret destroyer”

“Hold you up to the flame”

“Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in the cage”

Apparently, Corgan has been awake a lot longer than me. I consider myself having been fully awake since late 2017. I woke up and fell back asleep for years leading up to this, but 2017 is when I woke up and stayed awake. Two cups of coffee awake; no going back to sleep.

I couldn’t imagine being fully awake 30, 40 or 50 years ago understanding how the world really works, and having to witness the lies, manipulation and abuse—fully recognizing them for what they are.

I consider myself a bit of a movie buff and music snob. Most of the time I’ve spent watching movies and listening to music was spent in blissful ignorance of the messaging in all forms of entertainment.

Maybe my love of movies comes from being raised by a TV, or growing up in an area prone to frequent rain, or maybe I just really like stories. Whatever the case may be, I love movies and music, and I will continue to like them.

To wit, I sound like an old person when I say I feel movies, TV and music produced in the past decade have taken a considerable drop in quality. Most entertainment created in the past decade is not worth consuming, in my opinion. I think this is due to Hollywood not understanding or simply refusing to create content the people want, while forcing agendas down our throats.

The “Me Too” and “Political Correctness” movements have killed comedy. You can’t make fun of anyone anymore. The need to push narratives, the ultra-sensitivity of people and the fear of offending audiences have created an environment that suppresses creativity, which may be a huge understatement.

Maybe this is a bit of an exaggeration, but I don’t think anyone could say that the past decade recalls the “Glory Years” of Hollywood. While it’s easy to say the past decade has been the worst in Hollywood’s 100 or so years of existence, it’s at least impossible to say it has been one of its best.

Since waking up to the reality of things five years ago, who runs things, how they manipulate us and the constant messaging involved, I’ve gone back and rewatched movies I once watched while cognitively asleep. With this newfound perspective, some appear devoid of messaging, others are obvious in their delivery and some more subtle. In revisiting these stories, you start to realize that it’s been happening for a really long time.

We all know the “boil a frog” analogy: if you slowly turn the heat up, a frog will stay in the pot and allow itself to be boiled to death. We are that frog, and Hollywood slowly turned up the heat on us over the course of generations.

Movies and Television have been used to prepare us for future events, future acceptance of narratives and agendas, and to explain to us how “they” work—how the Cabal/Elite controls and uses us.

The term “predictive programing” is commonly used in the “truther community,” which refers to the Elites’ foretelling of future events, preparing us to psychologically accept what is to come. In some cases, this programming prepares us for events like 9-11 or COVID, and in other cases it’s more broad, with overarching narratives or agendas—as with the acceptance of pedophilia and transgenderism.

It’s not a coincidence that Zombie movies and shows like The Walking Dead became huge over the course of the past decade. We were being prepared for a virus pandemic. They were more obvious in producing movies like Contagion around that same time period. That film was released on 9/9/11, in fact. What a curiosity.

And The Walking Dead premiered on 10/31/10, a day that is said to be very dear to the occult, as well as candy-crazy children. While I’m at it, the zombie movie World War Z was released on 6/21/13—Summer Solstice—yet another occult holiday. And let’s not forget that in 2007 the Will Smith movie I am Legend was released. I don’t know if the release date of 12/14/07 has any significance, but the movie involved the world’s population being almost completely wiped out from the ill effects of a cancer vaccine, while the survivors turned into flesh-eating zombies.

If this isn’t predictive programing, then I don’t know what is.

It was no coincidence to me that The Joker was released before the BLM riots. In my opinion, it was a priming of the pump. Why did Joaquin Phoenix choose to become so scrawny to play the Joker? The role didn’t call for it. Was it to look more antifa-like? Was it to encourage other men who live with their mothers to take to the streets and riot? Were the riot scenes normalizing future rioting?

RuPaul’s Drag Race came out (no pun intended) in 2009, well before the transgender hysteria, which started a few years later with the national public bathroom controversy and graduated to drag queen story hours marring our public libraries.

In 1998, The Truman Show showed us how our lives are completely controlled and orchestrated without us knowing. The premise of the movie follows a boy who grows into a man while living a life completely orchestrated by TV producers for the world to watch.

Our thoughts are manipulated. We care about things or fear things because we are told to by the entertainment media, whether we understand this or not. None of us are exempt from the manipulation. Sometimes realizing our lives have been a lie is too hard to accept, so we choose to accept the lies.

Most of the time, the entertainment media is used to alter how we think or to prepare us to accept their agendas or narratives, but in some cases, messages have been put into entertainment content to warn us. Stanley Kubrick put hidden messaging into his movies to warn us of how the world works and how we are controlled and used. Some believe that he was too obvious in his 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut, and after refusing to remove 20 minutes of the film, he suddenly died. (Mind you, this was pre-COVID vaccinations.)

I rewatched the 2013 Matt Damon movie Elysium last week. Not only was the movie full of predictive programing, but it was funny to see how much a bald Matt Damon looks like the luggage-stealing Sam Brinton, the man Joe Biden put in charge of the disposal of nuclear waste.

The movie Elysium is about a future time when the Earth is an environmental mess, destroyed by humans via over-population, with crime, petulance and people controlled by AI military combat robots. In the film, the Elite escape Earth to a space station in the shape of a five-pointed star, where the rich have access to luxuries including healing machines. Of course, the people on the space station are 99% White, while the Earth portrayed is predominantly Hispanic. The protagonists need to get to the space station to heal a dying Hispanic girl, and they even refer to these righteous rebels as “illegals,” while the people in charge of keeping them off the space station represent the Department of Homeland Security.

This movie came out roughly four years before the border fiasco.

Could they be any more obvious?

In recent weeks, a term has come on to the “truther” scene that I had never heard of before: “Karmic retribution.”

This concept refers to the process of telling your victim you are going to victimize them before you do so. It may not necessarily mean the victim is approving or complying to the abuse against them, but rather signifies that the abuser warned the victim, and therefore, posits that the victim is partly to blame for the abuse they then receive. It is said that the ‘Elites’ of the Satanic Cabal believe they will receive less blame or responsibility for their abuse if they directly or indirectly warn their victims of it in advance.

With this framework in mind, predictive programing makes more sense; it’s one thing to use the entertainment media to push an agenda or narrative, but why warn the victims of their future abuse? Why so much predicative programing about 9/11 or COVID?

Ideology. Sick ideology.

Now let’s get to the vampire analogy that prompted this piece in the first place.

I believe the story of Dracula and vampires in general were created and are used to tell us how the Cabal works, literally and figuratively.

What do we know about vampires, or rather the story of vampires?

They consume the blood of others.

They live forever.

They are the chosen few, with us acting as sheep for them to feed off of.

Vampires live in the dark and operate in the shadows.

They cannot be exposed to the light, otherwise they will die a painful death. I believe “light” is a metaphor for the truth, for exposure.

Vampires can’t enter a home unless they are invited in. To me, this explains why so much effort goes into telling us through the entertainment media what the Cabal are going to do and how they are going to do it. They must have our “buy-in,” our tacit approval. They believe that this allows them to avoid the full brunt of Karmic retribution.

How do they enter our homes? Through our TVs, computers and phones. Movies, TV, books, music, sports, newspapers and magazines.

When you see the Cabal Elite as vampires, everything makes much more sense.

How do they view us? As food—an energy source. How do they view themselves? As elites coming from illustrious bloodlines, superior to us—Godlike. How do they exist? In the dark, in secret, in the shadows. How do they control us? By getting us to invite them into our homes, into our lives. How do we destroy their power over us?

By forcing them into the light, through truth and exposure.

I know a lot of people have unplugged from the media, from Hollywood, and I completely understand the reason for doing so; in fact, they’ve made it easy for us. Many of us didn’t start to “wake up” until we greatly reduced our exposure to the brainwashing and mental poison of the entertainment world.

I got rid of cable TV ten years ago, and have to believe that was a precursor to my journey in seeking the truth. While I think it’s good to keep one’s exposure to mainstream media to a minimum, and some media should be completely expunged from our lives altogether, I don’t think all entertainment is inherently dangerous to take in, if you understand the messaging involved. If you can see through their messaging and understand what they’re ultimately trying to accomplish through it, it has no power over you.

Hollywood is a largely evil place and has been since its conception. It’s not a coincidence that Hollywood was started the same decade as the Federal Reserve, the IRS, federal income tax, Big Pharma and Rockefeller medical institutions. If you think things are bad now, imagine living through the 1910s; that was the decade the Cabal put in place most of their institutions of control that continue to this day.

In closing, I think it’s important to understand that just because the content of movies, TV and music might be used to poison our minds and many of the people who make this content might be evil in nature, it doesn’t mean these modes of storytelling are inherently evil.

There is a reason we are drawn to them, and I hope that someday, Hollywood will become what it CAN be rather than what it has become.
