Wake Up: The Political Agenda in "Citizen Kane" & "Star Wars"

It’s time to wake up America — and that goes for the rest of you in the less important parts of the “world.” The ridiculously overt political messages of winter blockbusters like Avatar and Did You Hear About the Morgans? has, thankfully, spurred new awareness of the agenda that film-makers from Hollywood, indie, and foreign interests promote to rob the world of the Easter bunny, family cookouts, traditional weddings, and the God given right to kill everyone with whom we disagree. Furthermore, the movie industry tries to promote putting one’s pet above themselves and wasting money on the space program so mankind (ooooh, ahhhhh) can one day travel in “space” and I guess visit God like the Enterprise crew.

Since this new awareness is taking the world by storm, I thought I would find a moment and mention just a couple from the thousands of examples of film trying to rob us of our traditional values and replace them with witchcraft, socialism, anti-Americanism, communism, gayism, and the desire to drink spring water.

Citizen Kane

The so-called father of modern film-making, Citizen Kane was elevated to “classic” status by behind the scenes campaigning from select members of the socialist party working closely with Campbell’s Soup. Despite being a miserable and poorly made film, Citizen Kane continues to be essential viewing for budding cinemaphiles and therefore is able to inject its agenda into the brains of the impressionable youth of each generation.

Citizen Kane is actually about a man who came from nothing to achieve the American Dream. In the process he cured himself an unhealthy and probably sexual attachment to a tatty sled that he owned in his youth (more on this later). Instead of being a movie about that great achievement, however, Citizen Kane (notice how the title re-enforces “citizen” and uses a homophone of the vile biblical Cain? So to be a “citizen,” i.e. patriot or country-loving, is akin to being a murderer) is about how being successful and more industrious than lesser people will de-humanize a man and make him evil. As intended, this theme plays out repeatedly in the modern world as great men like Rupert Murdoch and Pat Sajak are vilified for being good at what the agendaized film industry is most afraid — information sharing. This also runs along-side the predominate anti-corporate (in other words, pro-socialist) theme.

Citizen Kane decontructs an ingenious man who should be lauded for his spirit and manipulates the perspective so that, in the end, the viewer is led to believe that a subjugated life is superior to a grand one. There is also the thinly veiled reference to “rosebud” (get it? wink!) as the man recalls fondly what is obviously an allegory of the homosexual lifestyle.

Star Wars

If only geeks and nerds were regulated to their parent’s basement like they attempt to make you believe. Instead, geeks, nerds, and the rest of the confused population that were infected by this derisive propaganda run key elements of our country as well as other less developed countries like England and Canada.

You don’t know what’s wrong with Star Wars? Just like the rest, eh? Star Wars is a purposefully mocking mash-up of several extreme philosophies that blinds viewers to the larger picture and at the same time subconsciously conditions them to be accepting of racism and anti-authority while promoting usurp-minded treasonous thought.

In Star Wars (screw you and that episode four or A New Hope business) the terrorists are portrayed as the good guys even though the “evil empire” seems to only be aggressors when challenged. If Bail Organa and his rabble rouser adopted daughter would have walked the straight and narrow, then preemptive action would not need to have been taken against their people (how the fuck is the daughter of a senator a princess anyway? That’s some messed-up political milieu that speaks volumes right there). In short the “New Hope” is in the laps of terrorists who are the sole cause of violence in the galaxy. The movie is obviously anti-government, but it is also anti-corporation. The only “good” business man is a criminal smuggler. In a later movie on the same story arc, a legit business man, Billy Dee Williams, is a back-stabbing opportunist and a villain (albeit temporarily) for obeying the law and turning a criminal in. Basically Billy Dee turned in Osoma bin Laden (Leia) and his highest ranking generals (with no blood shed) and was a bad guy for it. However, he was later “redeemed” for freeing bin Laden and leading the search for one of the generals who was mercifully frozen instead of put to death. No doubt if the shoe was on the other foot, Chewbacca would have sawed Lobot’s head off with a bowie knife and recorded it on a hologram.

So this seems like typical liberal-socialist stuff here, but then the movie has the deceitful agenda of marginalizing causes usually championed by liberalists and therefore exposing liberal practitioners as the contradictory glad-handers that they are. What I mean, of course, is the obviously racist subtext of the “evil” characters in the film as well has how females, even powerful ones, are portrayed as weak, in need of manly rescue, and reliant on men to blow up planet destroying technology in suicide bombing missions (killing, one would assume, hundreds of thousands of mostly innocent people in the process) and so forth.

Things that are black are evil. White is good. Vader is “evil,” wears black and is voiced by a black man. Leia is portrayed in virginal and “good” white in white. Billy Dee is black and two-times a traitor. When Vader turns “good” his helmet (skin) is removed and he is white underneath. I mean this goes on and on. So the end result is a convoluted representation of anti-Americanism while promoting racism and sexism.

Basically Star Wars wants a white male dominated socialist world. Good grief. And this is perhaps the most omnipresent pop culture phenomena ever. Thank you film industry, thank you for ruining everything.
