A few posts ago I wrote about Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's latest movie. I speculated about the kind of story we would be getting and it's messages. Now that the movie has been released, I think my predictions were accurate, but there were a few extra things I didn't expect.
For example, I thought DD was going to have a large cultural impact, but now its likely to be considered one of Spielberg's worst movies (together with Ready Player One and The Crystal Skull). Many people from both mainstream conservative and normie sectors are saying the film was a disappointment and is full of terrible plot holes. I also noticed many people know the movie is just a psyop.
This leads me to conclude that in the long run, Disclosure Day isn't going to be the most important Blue Beam movie, unless it becomes a cult classic in a few years.
Having said this, I would like to share my thoughts about the film, which is indeed full of very interesting propaganda. Today, on the Pasture of Knowledge, we will see what kind of secrets Spielberg has disclosed for us.
Movie Synopsis
We are introduced to David Carnell, a mathematical genius who has stolen alien tech and a few videos about UFOs from Wardex, a heavily subsidized corporation.
Carnell's girlfriend Jane is held by them to convince Carnell to give up the items. Math-Guy tricks them by pretending to give up the items and then escapes. He then contacts his ally, Hugo Wakefield, and asks if he should release the files online; Wakefield thinks it's a bad idea and instructs him to return to base.
Meanwhile, TV reporter Margaret Fairchild receives a visit from a cardinal bird, who awakens within her psychic powers. Fairchild is scared because she doesn't understand what her telepathy means, and during a weather report she grunts coca cola noises and scares everyone. Noah Scanlon, Wardex's owner, sees this. He recognizes the language of the aliens and decides it's time to target her too.
Meanwhile, Carnell shows the footage to Jane. She is moved to pity, because the aliens were tortured by Wardex; however, she objects to the disclosure because she thinks people will loose their faith. Despite being a former nun, Jane thinks faith is important for society and doesn't want to loose it.
Carnell goes to a wheat field and sees the coca cola noises video. He is also able to understand the language and feels scared. As Fairchild grunts, circles form on the wheat field. Carnell doesn't know he is one of the chosen ones yet.
Noah Scanlon wants to kill Carnell, and so he uses alien technology to posses Jane. He starts taking control of her. Panicking, Jane holds her Crucifix very strongly until she injures herself. The pain drives Scanlon away.
Fairchild, who is being persecuted by the men in black, calls Carnell and tells him Wardex will kill him. Shortly after this a persecution scene ensues. Once they have found refugee on her former convent, Jane asks the mother superior if God would allow aliens, to which the elderly nun replies that He would likely do so.
Carnell is caught by Wardex shortly after this, but not all is lost. Fairchild enters the Wardex building and uses her psychic powers to deceive everyone into thinking she is one of their loved ones. Fairchild saves Carnell and they reunite with Wakefield.
There, the revelation happens. Fairchild is shown a replica of her childhood home. She remembers that one night, she was singing "One Day My Prince Will Come" from Snow White, when a stag and a cardinal bird appeared in her room. They lured her outside, and brought her inside a very bright house. There, Fairchild realized she was inside and alien spaceship and the animals were aliens. She also found child Carnell who was very scared. The aliens placed crystals on their heads and they received their abilities, which remained dormant. When the aliens wanted to awaken the abilities, they visited them in the shape of red cardinals. Neither remembered the suppressed memories - until now.
Our protagonists have another car chase and arrive into a Broadcast TV station. When they are preparing the disclosure, Wardex turns the lights off; but Fairchild uses her psychic powers and bring them back. This makes Scanlon give up his role as Mr. Smith. Margaret hesitates a bit about her disclosure, saying she is nobody's religion, but eventually she recovers confidence and agrees.
Upon the gazes of millions of people who are (somehow) tuned in for the broadcast, the videos are disclosed. Wakefield wheels an alien into the area, who whispers a message to Carnell. Carnell speaks to Fairchild, who gives one last stare to the audience and says "Listen". And then the movie ends.
1: The Abduction of the Kids
For me, the most insulting message the movie has to offer is the abducting of the kids. We are supposed to think that the aliens are "empathetic" and virtuous, despite the fact that their disclosure to humanity involved grooming children out of their homes, experimenting on them, giving them powers they didn't understood, and scaring them. It doesn't make sense, and instead it comes across as a glorification of child abduction.
Other people have also made the connection with the MK-Ultra experiments. During an MK-Ultra process, the victim is traumatized and they develop an alternate personality for protection. This personality is then forced into dormancy until the controllers need it; a trigger from the traumatic experience is then given to the victim. If someone was tormented, for example, while watching "Dumbo", a replaying of the movie triggers the person and it makes the alternate personality to take control. When the person returns to normalcy, they can't remember their actions during the time they were mind controlled.
For Fairchild and Carnell, the alien experiments gave them psychic powers which remained dormant but awakened upon contact with cardinal birds, who were closely related to their traumatic experience. I had already mentioned that alien abductions were a likely cover for MK-Ultra experiments.
In this case, the powers substitute the alternate personality, buy even these abilities have a connection to the experiment. You see, psychic powers are also said to happen when one develops schizophrenia or uses psychoactive drugs, which were coincidentally used during Monarch Project. Another MK-Ultra themed production, Stranger Things, has multiple characters with psychic powers who were experimented upon, in this case by the USA government.
Even if the MK-Ultra connection wasn't planned by the directors, we are told that abducting kids is kind as long as you say you have "empathy" and disguise yourself as a Snow White character.
2: The Questioning of the Religion
Many believers think that the film wants them to question their christian religion and leave it. In reality, Spielberg wanted them to include alien life into their religion.
Yes, the difficulties that alien life could cause upon religious people are mentioned, but then Jane's former Mother Superior talks to her and says "Why would He create such a big universe just for us?", and this convinces Jane that aliens are not a difficulty.
The position of the movie towards religion is not openly hostile; it is an invitation to bring it closer to Spielberg's value$ of "empathy", liberalism, and readiness to learn from the unknown.
When Jane used religion as an obstacle to empathy (we can't save the aliens because people will doubt the faith), the movie frowns, but when she used religion to save her partner from Wardex, the movie feels happy.
Religion is not a bad thing for the movie if you value it as a way of making connection with others. Religion is only a bad thing if those who practice it close themselves to empathy and others.
This movie is officially Ratzinger approved.
3: The Powers Within Yourself
I have noticed that many people are infuriated by the ending. We never got to see what the aliens actually wanted to say. "Disclosure Day" wasn't really about "Disclosure". Why could this be?
Well, I have a theory about this. Through the movie, Fairchild receives a quasi-worship by everyone who is helped by her psychic habilites. And yet she is not someone's religion. She is not a god and neither are the aliens that come to visit, despite of what you might have heard.
The purpose of the aliens is not to be worshipped as an external force, but to help us rediscover our hidden mystical habilites. This is also true about empathy: humans have already developed this capacity, and the role of the aliens is to help us to relearn and value it.
Indeed, empathy (in humans) is what glues the powers together. Scanlon for example is capable of using the alien tech, but his lack of empathy makes him unable to use it correctly. That's why he looses. Fairchild on the other hand is overpowered because her psychic abilities are not hindered by cruelty.
4: The Revealing of the Knowledge
The theme of government revelation was explored in a fairly unoriginal way, but I still noticed some interesting things:
The first one is that the revelation happened in a Broadcast TV, not in the internet. Many said this was just Spielberg being an out of date boomer who wrote this story for the 80's. That's true, but maybe there's more to this.
The use of broadcast TV is a call to trust and confide in mainstream media once again. For Spielberg, the internet is a chaotic place where nobody trusts anything, while Broadcast TV united people together and it was easier to keep the ideological hegemony.
Notice also how the TV people were open to the alien Disclosure, while Evil Capitalist™ kept the alien tech for himself. Spielberg is thus showing the left wing delusion of trusting journos and scientists as if they were the sworn enemies of corporations.
On a more metaphysical level, the Broadcast heralds a new age of mysticism that will be shared with the masses, not retained for the exclusive use of the elites.
Conclusion
Despite it's negative reception, Disclosure has revealed to me multiple things. It isn't just a movie to incite the masses into trusting aliens and accepting a Blue Beam deception. It is worse, specially for those who can't see beyond the bad CGI and the corny storyline.
Disclosure Day has a variety of symbols and messages that I didn't even imagine:
1: It's a movie about MK-Ultra, and a possible confession by the elites that UFO abductions were a cover for it.
2: It's a movie about allowing left-wing Boomer value$ into our religions, and to open ourselves to the mysterious, the suspicious and the strange.
3: It's a movie about "empathy" being the biggest value ever.
4: Its a movie a out how the powers we need are already within ourselves. Aliens are not masters, just helpers.
5: It's a movie about glorifying Broadcast TV and the mainstream media, and a call for us to trust the government and it's words.
Might none of the people who liked it be deceived by it, and night none of the people who hated it miss it's fearsome details.
