Particularly the rise of a technocratic organisation hellbent on global domination and the subjugation of everybody on the planet in That Hideous Strength. He was a genius and prophet. Parts of That Hideous Strength make my blood run cold and are eerily prescient given the circumstances we're living through. NICE would have made Teilhard de Chardin rock hard.

Thank you. I'll check that out. Edit - Ah, I see he's connected with the Frankfurt School of critical theory. Say no more!

Fantastic post and analysis. Great point about semantic satiation and its blunting effects on our intellectual faculties. And thanks for referencing Marcuse's work, an author I was unfamiliar with until reading your post and whose book, One Dimensional Man, I will now seek out.

Ah, this is actually the one that turned me on to him. Thought it had been removed from YT but managed to find it eventually. Maybe a slightly better presentation about Kubrick than the other link with Richard D Hall although that is worth checking out as well.

It's curious that Kubrick was so well connected with the Aldobrandini family who are connected - and possibly hold more power - than the Rothschild family.

No worries mate, glad to help. Been years since I read through his work so will need to reacquaint myself with it. I discovered Carl James' through his revelations about Stanley Kubrick. Those videos are worth watching too.

You thinking of Carl James' work?

The Star Trek Agenda

Anybody remember the video of a guy making a presentation about SR Hadden (based on Armand Hammer but aligning with Bezos more and more these days) that exposed him as a spook/occultist in the movie Contact? Was eye-opening but haven't been able to track it down.
