nothing good can come from Nazareth

Unless you’re in your mid to late 90’s no American has ever lived in a Democracy. The real (new) definition of Democracy is; a military industrialized complex influenced by religion, the Federal Reserve…and the C.I.A. (watch President Eisenhower‘s farewell address to the nation as definitive proof). President Woodrow Wilson saw to that in 1913 when he passed the Federal Reserve act. Call it Fascism, Socialism, Communism, or even…Federalism…it is what it is. In this country, when you turn 18 and get a job you’re subject to paying our nations debt. Strange that its still called a Democracy when no one in this country knows what its like not to have to pay Federal Income tax. 1913 was the last time this country was a “Democracy” in the purest sense of the word. More strange is the fact that our fore-fathers didn’t even want a Democracy, and with good reason. They knew and understood the discriminatory values that a Democratic society would inherit while under the influence of the church. Folks like Ben Franklin wanted a Republic. A government ruled by laws, not religion…let the citizens decide whether or not they wanted to believe in any kind of a god. So hypocritical and brainwashed we Americans have become (because of the church) that we act all appalled and disgusted when other countries kill and torture. So we come to the rescue of these countries in peril by basically…killing and torturing. But that’s ok because we kill and torture in the name of “God”. Even better is the fact that the religious sector approves of it. One of the most hypocritical, dysfunctional, discriminatory money making machines in the United States, and the world for that matter.

I’ve often wondered how much more cash I’d receive on pay day if our beloved government would tax the church? Especially when you take into consideration that its one of the top 10 money making entities on the planet. We think we live in a Democracy because we’re allowed to vote for our so-called leaders. Left-wing, right-wing, hawk, dove, democratic, republican, conservative, liberal, independent, etc etc. It really makes no difference. Our government is a puppet regime dictated to by the corporate elite. It’s the Rockefeller’s and the Rothschild’s that decide policy in this country, and throughout the world. Hence; a bunch of dictators behind the scenes of government. The “New World Order” the first President Bush (as if we needed more than one) spoke of back in the early 90’s. And to secure a “New World Order” we’ve taken on the role as the worlds police. Which means every 5 years or so we have to go and blow some country up (in the name of God mind you) to justify our already bloated defense budget. Most Americans don’t realize that we wouldn’t need a big military if we didn’t have the Federal Reserve breathing down our necks. The Federal Reserve (with the aid of the C.I.A.) stage these catastrophic events of good versus evil via an endless stream of propaganda through the media. Every decade a new enemy emerges…Nazi’s, Communists, Terrorists, etc etc. While playing both sides of the fence. I mean…its common knowledge that Rockefeller bankrolled the Nazi’s during the 30’s. And the debate still rages via the internet of how the C.I.A. bankrolled “911” (Google Alex Jones). Don’t take my word for it, but ask yourself how film maker Aaron Russo knew (via Nick Rockefeller) of a terrorist attack on U.S. soil 6 months before it occurred?

There’s a reason why the Federal Reserve (the corporate elite) doesn’t tax the church. In order to play the “good versus evil” card they need the church. These are shrewd, intelligent business men who obviously studied the Roman Empire in great detail. The Romans realized that religion was great way to influence and manipulate the masses through fear (just like our new terror color code chart). Resulting in fewer casualties of their own, and more income through taxation to feed their army. The Roman Empire was in a sense, the framework of the Federal Reserve. The Romans didn’t even care about some whacked out Palestinians’ (Jesus Christ) new religious rhetoric. In fact, they encouraged it. The more religion the better. That is until Christ started to disrupt the market place and the Roman military (that occupied Jerusalem) with his mindless ramblings of “God”. Pilot viewed him as a revolutionist, a danger to establishment and sentenced him to death. Funny in that Americans scoff at the ideology of Jim Jones and Joseph Smith (just a couple of many in an endless supply of fake prophets). But will believe the ramblings of Jesus Christ? When was the last time anyone took anything serious out of the Middle East, other than a terrorist threat or lack of oil? I thought Horus was the original Son of God? I mean after all…he was born on the eve of Christmas, walked on water, raised the dead, sacrificed himself and blah blah blah. Is Jesus Christ really any different than say…Jim Baker? No. Christ was just a little more extreme, that’s all. And in the process, became what most Middle Easterners aspire to be…a martyr.

Besides Christians didn’t want to worship Horus. He was far too flamboyant. He wore make-up and jewelry, meaning…he must be gay or something. Parrish the thought of a Christian worshipping a homo-sexual. Well…with the exception of say…Michael Jackson. Christian’s have a soft spot for pedophiles. No wait, that’s a Catholic issue isn’t it? Well, who can keep up with all the corruption and sex scandals in the church? However, in keeping up with the zeitgeist. The church has now accepted the fact that UFO’s might really exist. Well, they were perhaps forced to considering 17 percent of the population in the United States believe extraterrestrials exist. And of that 17 percent, 16 percent don’t believe in any kind of a “God”. That percent is bigger than any minority group in the United States. Meaning…a lot of voters. Which in turn spells trouble not only for the church…but the Federal Reserve as well. Not to mention the fact that NASA is having a hard time trying to convince the viewing public that what they’re seeing floating around in space isn’t “debris” or “ice crystals“, but some form of a living organism…or, what most USAF pilots refer to as “critters”. Speaking of critters, instead of the Bald Eagle as our nations symbol…how about an Ostrich? No, because of Puppet err President Obama’s rock star status, we’re still just a nation of sheep. Meanwhile, the church is scratching their collective heads and thinking to themselves, we need a new messiah. I wonder who that guy was that blew himself up in that car bomb last week in Lebanon? …nothing good can come from Nazareth.

Note to my brother; maybe aliens really did build the Pyramids.

The Amazon.com Debate

 

Zoe Lund's exploration of an egoist cop on drugs

 

One thing is certain as far as the reviewers at Amazon.com are concerned. You either love or hate this movie (Bad Lieutenant). There really is no happy medium. The problem here is; it's loved or hated for all the wrong reasons. What most reviewers forget is, this is a character study of a really bad police officer. Not an "action/adventure" film with explosions and car chases. The three areas of concern for most of the reviewers are Harvey Keitel's full-frontal nudity, the Nun rape scene and religious aspect of the film. These are just my theories concerning these particular segments so I apologize if I offend any of you. Only, I thought most of the reviewers at Amazon.com over-analyzed the "rape" scene and Keitel's "full-frontal" nude scene and used both sequences as the foundation for their critical reviews of the film. Totally missing the point of both scenes. I don't believe Abel Ferrara used Keitel's full-frontal nude scene for "shock value". I believe it was put there to emphasize (exposed in the purest sense) just what an out-of-control drunken, drug addict he really was. I know, I know...you'll argue that Keitel's jerking-off on the side of a car while forcing two girls to watch would have sufficed or, snorting a line of cocaine off the family photo...only...again, this was a character study of a really bad cop.

As for the infamous Nun "rape" scene, the reviewers at Amazon.com...right along with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant missed the whole point entirely. Although no fault of their own, however...the scene makes more sense if you've seen it before Schooly D's "Kashmir" riff was edited out. Page & Plant demanded the video (when it was first released in VHS format) be yanked from the shelves when they learned that a sample of their song was being used as the background score of a Nun being raped. Considering the historical significance of it...Kashmir being a (sacred) region that was conquered and destroyed (essentially "raped") by emperor Akbar and his band of thugs during the late 1500's. The Catholic church being conquered and destroyed (the Nun raped) by two thugs. I believe the scene loses some of its impact and meaning without Schooly D's (Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir") sample. I've never seen the film on the "Independent Film Channel" (just the theatrical and original VHS version) ...however, I can only assume most reviewers have only seen the edited version as most VHS copies were destroyed and the DVD score was re-done without Schooly D's ("Signifying Rapper") riff. Ironic that Page & Plant would later allow some hack like Puffdaddy to sample "Kashmir" for a cheesy re-make of "Godzilla", while ignoring the historical significance of their own material. But that's what greed will do.

Concerning the religious aspect of the film, one reviewer made the suggestion that you watch the film with your children. This isn't a film to sit your children in front of, and deserved the NC-17 rating it received. I've read alot of reviews at Amazon.com concerning this film and the references to Christ, the church, Christianity and religion in general. Only...it really has nothing to do with religion at all (if taken in the same spirit as say; "The Last Temptation Of Christ"). Keitel's character exploits the church as a means of trying to solve the case. The day after the crime occurs he states that; "the church is a racket...I'm Catholic", indicating very early on that he doesn't really care at all that the Nun got raped. It was all about trying to solve the crime as soon as possible to collect the reward money that the church put up so he could pay off his bookie. His revelation with Christ only occurs when he's at the end of his rope...like a coward backed into a corner. He has no shred of moral integrity what-so-ever, and reaffirms it (as if he needed to) in the end when he lets the guys that raped the Nun go. I agree that this is a 5 star movie...but find it quite ironic that most reviewers at Amazon.com give it five stars for all wrong reasons. Keitel's character is a scum bag throughout...and deserved the bullet he received in the end. As for the negative reviews, I believe most reviewers waited an hour and a half for some special effects (something their accustomed to when they watch a movie), and when nothing exploded...they felt ripped off.
