Why was this allowed to be made?


If the world and especially the media was controlled by a small group of elite people why would they allow such a movie to be made?

This isn't a small indie film, it was distributed by Universal Pictures.

Why not allow it? Did the movie change anything? Did it reduce their wealth or power? Did it spark a revolution?

No, no, and no.

That's how confident these people are. That's how much control they have. A weak, insecure regime restricts speech because they don't believe they can control the narrative or do damage control well enough once the truth gets out. These people don't bother restricting speech because they are masters at controlling the narrative and doing damage control. The general population is so dumbed down, so incapable of logical thought, that they know they can release movies revealing how the world truly works (The Matrix, They Live, Network, etc...) right under the noses of the human livestock they control and nothing will be done about it.

Look up Revelation of the Method.

Because they care about profit above all else. If they can even turn a buck off of people speculating about their motives, why would it bother them?

The film is almost like a documentary about juice, if you catch my drift. Once you learn to see them, the world is never the same. And when you point them out, how they run everything from behind the curtain and brainwash or bribe people to do their bidding, you'll get called a crazy conspiracy theorist, and the System will treat you like an infection until you sit down, shut up and obey.

You're an idiot.

How is he the idiot when it's you who can't see what's right under your nose?

Pot, meet kettle.

And you blame Jewish people for all of this?

reply

Show me where I said one thing about Jews as a people in what I typed above

reply

The original comment was that They Live is like a documentary on Jewish control of the world, and I expressed disbelief. I asked what secret conspiracy "the Jews" have going, and you responded listing some of your favorite conspiracy theories. It seemed like you were stating your agreement with the original statements by detailing what secret conspiracies those pesky Jews are up to these days.

reply

You asked what "conspiracy theories" are going on

I gave you some

That's as far as you and I go on this thread

And Epstein didn't Kill Himself

reply

You should be more careful when you post, because you were clearly responding to a query of "what conspiracies are you blaming on the Jews?"

reply

And you should read my post and think before making stupid ass statements

reply

No need to be rude, Flat Earther.

reply

Just throwing around bullshit now huh. Ok pedo

reply

Sorry, was just trying to guess some other conspiracy theories you buy into.

reply

Unlike your Russiagate?

reply

Now you're just going to throw random conspiracies at me? I don't believe in any o them... you're the one with the laundry list, so I figured you might buy into a flat earth.

reply

Considering they control the media, banking/financial industry, hollywood, music...yeah I'd say they control the world.

reply

I think as a society we should be more enlightened by now than to use the old adage about the pot and kettle or any derived from it. No one should be using something’s color as a way to describe it. They’re all metallic vessels, people!

Humans think this is a documentary!
How many of you loons smoked LSD in the 60s?

reply

Did not know LSD could be smoked.

reply

Well, technically you can soak a joint in LSD, dry it, then smoke it.

reply

Cause John Carpenter was very prolific at the time.

reply

because they make a mockery out of it and allow people to live through fantasy being completely harmless all the while continuing to brainwash and control.

reply

Absolutely.
All those people wearing OBEY baseball caps and clothing, I bet most of them never even heard of the movie.

reply

Never heard of it less alone understand it.

I bet most dont even know who Roddy Piper is probably just wrestling Fans. When a casual sees obey on the billboard and the glasses he thinks the movie is weird and doesnt understand the meaning. His natural reaction is to take the glasses off and obey.
