"In the real world, Hollywood and the rest of the corporate entertainment complex, along with the mainstream media, combine to keep us ignorant of how we’re being deceived. Films like Vendetta tease us with hope that the truth isn’t so far from the surface, but then they betray us with subtle misdirection that discourages us from understanding what is stopping real change from happening." -

On Nov. 5, 2012, Guy Fawkes Day, Truth and Shadows published an article
by Barrie Zwicker about Fawkes and the Gunpowder Treason and its
relation to false flag events throughout history. That article mentioned
the film V for Vendetta and the proliferation of the famous Guy Fawkes
mask that followed the success of the movie. Zwicker’s piece quoted an earlier one
by Veterans Today’s Kevin Barrett, which sang the praises of the film. I
appreciate both of these excellent articles, but I have a somewhat
different take on the film as this article explains.– CM

It is crafted to be one of the most satisfying moments in all of film history.
In the climax of the Wachowski sibling’s V for Vendetta (spoiler
alert), an underground train filled with explosives is detonated as the
train passes beneath the British Parliament buildings. The buildings
are blown to bits to the tune of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture while thousands in Guy Fawkes masks look on in awe. Fireworks add to the celebration and to the theatricality of the event.
The crowd removes their masks to reveal they are just ordinary people
(even those who were killed during the story reappear). The population
is apparently freed from the iron-fisted rule of a Nazi-like regime.
Comic book villains get their just desserts, and a new world is born.
The film, based on a graphic novel of the same name, has been branded
as revolutionary by some. And to be sure, it does some very remarkable
things rarely seen in Hollywood films. Most notably it lays out
the idea clearly that a tyrannical government might actually carry out
terrorist attacks against its own people and blame those attacks on
religious or other extremists, and its overt references to 9/11 and
other false flags are unmistakable. One government official offers this
possibility concerning the attack against Parliament that the so-called
“terrorist” has promised to carry out: “The red report in front of you
has been vetted by several demolition specialists. It concludes that the
most logical delivery system for the terrorist to use would be an
airborne attack.” Sound familiar?
It’s interesting that this film, which depicts an underground train
being used in a “terrorist” attack, was completed just one month before
the 7/7 London Underground bombings of 2005. Not only does this film
appear to anticipate 7/7, but the Wachowski’s 1999 film, The Matrix,
seems to have anticipated 9/11. In that film, when Neo (Keanu Reeves)
is being questioned by police, we see that the expiry date on his
driver’s licence is Sept. 11, 2001. Later, after he has swallowed the
red pill, we see what appear to be the twin towers in ruins. This is
just one of many films that appear to feature foreknowledge of the
event.
