‘They Live‘ was a fun little movie with a very likeable guy by the name of Roddy Piper. Roddy was a Canadian “wrestler” for probably 30 years (its a little hard to nail down). He was a also a boxer and a Judo blackbelt. I always like guys like him. I’d heard the name but didn’t know who he was when I saw the 1988 movie ‘They Live’ several years after it came out. Never have seen the whole thing I don’t think.
The premise is pretty simple, ‘Nada’ is given a pair of sunglasses from an old geezer on his deathbed that allows him to see past the aliens façade that are controlling society from key positions in academia, media, business, politics and the like. They have infiltrated culture and with their subliminal messaging are controlling America.
When I first saw it I thought it was a metaphor for Jewish control of banking, media, foundations and the like. A reviewer on IMDB thought it was “obviously” a reaction to the consumerism of the Reagan 80’s. Which would be a stretch, since the John Carpenter film was based on a 1963 short story. I like my idea better.
Either way its a simple and interesting premise that works for a number of circumstances. The latest was when I read Andrew Torba on Gab lamenting the failures of the Republican Party. I simply pointed out to him (40ish) that when you get old the blinders come off and you can see clearly that its all been a farce. I have my own pair of “sunglasses” now.
These the Protocols of the Elders of Zion I have never seen before. I’ve always heard them described of course as “anti-Semitic“, but never have I actually seen what all the hubbub was about. It looks perfectly reasonable to me, from this list at least. I have not seen the actual book.
