Led ZeppelinWhat connects Led Zeppelin and Clockwork Orange to the Vietnam War and Bloody Sunday in the UK?
In 1970 the USA was losing the war in Vietnam.
In 1970, in the USA, US soldiers shot dead four students at Kent State University. (Kent State shootings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
In 1972, Britain faced a miner's strike which led to much of the country's industry working a three-day week
In 1972, in the United Kingdom, British troops shot dead 13 British civilians.
Seven of the dead were kids.
At least five people were shot in the back.
This was Bloody Sunday. (Bloody Sunday (1972) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Peter's comment on the post "THE CLASSIC SEX SCANDAL" referred to Christopher Knowles's post, on 3 November 2007, entitled Kenneth Anger, Jimmy Page and Lucifer Rising
Christopher Knowles wrote: "1969 was the year the utopian dreams of the 60’s Generation came crashing down to Earth....
"A new band called Led Zeppelin, sporting a harsh new sound and dark, occultic worldview crashed the Peace and Love party setting the stage for a parade of quasi-satanic imitators."
In 1971 the film Clockwork Orange came to our cinemas.
Were the fascists in the security services trying to toughen people up?
Were musicians and film makers being used to control our minds?
Are kids getting more disturbed and violent?
In the 1940s, Brigadier Gen. S.L.A. Marshall claimed that only 15-20% of America's World War II soldiers would use their weapons in battle.
"Those (80-85%) who did not fire did not run or hide (in many cases they were willing to risk great danger to rescue comrades, get ammunition, or run messages), but they simply would not fire their weapons at the enemy, even when faced with repeated waves of banzai charges” (On Killing, by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, p. 4 - The Canadian National Newspaper: Twilight of the Psychopaths )
According to Marshall: the American comes "from a civilization in which aggression, connected with the taking of life, is prohibited and unacceptable….
"The fear of aggression has been expressed to him so strongly and absorbed by him so deeply and pervadingly — practically with his mother’s milk — that it is part of the normal man’s emotional make-up.
"This is his great handicap when he enters combat. It stays his trigger finger even though he is hardly conscious that it is a restraint upon him."
Marshall’s research, and later research, showed that in wars most soldiers are a waste of time, so far as the psychopathic generals and politicians are concerned.
On 1 January 1915, the London Times published a letter from a major reporting that in his sector the British played a game of football against the Germans opposite and were beaten 3-2.
Kurt Zehmisch of the 134th Saxons recorded in his diary: "The English brought a soccer ball from the trenches, and pretty soon a lively game ensued. How marvellously wonderful, yet how strange it was. The English officers felt the same way about it. Thus Christmas, the celebration of Love, managed to bring mortal enemies together as friends for a time."
What has been the reaction of the Pentagon and its friends?
The military has shown violent films to its troops, to toughen them up.
And it may be trying to get kids to watch more violent media.
Anthony Burgess wrote Honey for the Bears, which reportedly is about CIA-funded mind control experiments, of the sort carried out by Dr Ewen Cameron from 1957-63. (Anthony Burgess by Roger Lewis, 2002. Chapter 5).
Anthony Burgess also wrote A Clockwork Orange which is about violence and attempts at mind control. A Clockwork Orange was turned into a film.
Roger Lewis, in his biography Anthony Burgess (Chapter 5), refers to his meeting with a British spy; this spook tells Lewis about the links between A Clockwork Orange and mind control experiments in the USA.
Roger Lewis suggests that Burgess was himself a spy, possibly in the pay of the CIA.
It has been suggested that Hollywood has long been used by the CIA in connection with the brainwashing of the public.
