It was awful, everyone in the
streets of New York were running and screaming, whilst the buildings behind
them were collapsing, there were cries "Is it terrorists... is it
terrorists?!", people were covered in the dust of debris and dying
right there on the screen. With crashed aeroplane parts strewn all
over the streets, the
police were trying their best to herd everyone, but it wasn't enough to
protect the citizens from the onslaught being unleashed just over their
shoulders. And all of this on a nice day, when you would least expect
it.

You think I'm talking about the
911 attacks? I very well could have been, however in this case I am
actually referring to a recent movie called 'War of the Worlds'... you may
have heard of it! One of the above pictures is taken from the film,
the other is a picture of the immediate aftermath of 911. If it wasn't
for the fact that actor Tom Cruise is in one of the pictures, you might not
be able to guess which is which.
Just as the original 1953 movie
touched upon the current themes of 'The evil (communist) forces are gonna get you...
bang the drums for the American military, trumpets playing, tanks rolling in
to save the day', this version released in the early summer of 2005 was
pretty much the same only with a theme adjusted for the conflict of the
day. i.e. the war on terror.

After seeing the film - without
reading too much into the sub-text of the piece - the message is pretty much
in four parts: -
-
The evil forces are coming
after us... remember 911?
-
The military is the best
horse to back, even if they don't hit bang on target,... fight the good
fight... join now!.
-
Martial Law (tanks and
troops in the streets) is good and for our protection (see message no.1)
-
The public are a bunch of
crazed animals and need to be herded and sacrificed - gun owners are bad
etc etc.
Though Spielberg tends to skip
over any mention that 911 imagery was used to promote a political message,
it is quite obvious (especially to those who have researched the Hollywood
indoctrination machine in relation to the New World Order) that the theme is
more than just 'playing into popular culture, to make an entertaining two
hour flick'.
To be honest I have had problems
with friends who vehemently deny even any intentional resemblance to 911 at all,
let alone any political message. The accusation - "You are
just full of sh!t... you're reading too much into it, it's just a
movie!" is a knee jerk response I often get. That is the
level of not only intense denial, but moreover deep message implantation,
when we have a culture so hooked on movies and television, they can't see
any further than an inch away from the TV screen. A common problem,
which I as a person who was raised on televised entertainment can very much
relate to and recognise.
Just like religions have twisted
humanities way of thinking and locked them into a box which their belief
system has thrown away the key to, the religion of the entertainment-culture
has a similar effect on many of the same levels.
Here is a list of articles and
film reviews which back up the assertion that one time Bilderberg
attendee/film director Stephen Spielberg has released his remake of the 1953
'classic' on the back of the post-911 'War on Terror'... for whatever
motive.

‘War of the Worlds’ draws on 9/11 anxieties - Spielberg embraces paranoia, much as Welles drew on pre-WWII fears
- NEW YORK - Every generation has its fears, and director Steven Spielberg does not shy away from the source of anxiety that his new science fiction epic, “War of the Worlds”, plays on — the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. “It’s certainly about Americans fleeing for their lives, being attacked for no reason, having no idea why they are being attacked and who is attacking them,” says Spielberg.

Popcorn from the 9/11 rubble Spielberg's War of the Worlds is
tosh, so why does America love it? - Here, maybe, is the way the Hollywood world ends: not with a bang, but a stinker. Enter another bloated Spielberg epic, weighed down by $180m in computer contrivances and syrupy strings. Stand by for one more dodgy attempt at putting HG Wells on screen. But this time, for this war of this world, there's a deeper difference.

9/11? Scientology? Family drama? Whatever, Steven Spielberg delivers a pretty scary War of the
Worlds - Every generation gets the War of the Worlds it deserves.
H.G. Wells’s 1898 novel could be read as a warning about sprawling industrialization. Orson Welles’s 1938 radio version panicked a nation anticipating attacks by the Axis powers. George Pal’s 1953 movie touched on Cold War nuclear fears. And now, in the post–September 11 era, the newest War of the Worlds gives us aliens who arise from sleeper cells to attack without warning, motive, explanation, or mercy.

'War of the Worlds': Starring George W. Bush and Karl Rove -
"During the film's first astonishing scenes of mostly urban devastation (in a city never identified, but it feels like New York), wrought by an invading force of extraterrestrials that attacks sans warning on an ordinary day, it's impossible not to recall the rage and grief felt watching the televised aftermath of the terrorist attacks in 2001,"

Playing on Our Fears In 'War of the Worlds,' Steven Spielberg uses 9/11 to ramp up the horror factor--not to explore the human response to terror.
In his new version of “War of the Worlds,“ filmmaker Steven Spielberg uses the memory of September 11, 2001, to boost the movie’s power as both an alien-invasion parable and an exercise in horror for its own nerve-jangling sake. “Paranoia is what happens when you're afraid that something is coming at you right around the corner, but it never materializes,” he told the Los Angeles Times during production, adding, “Our story starts with paranoia, which is very quickly realized.”
