Psyop Cinema

After his hyper-sus digression of Talk Radio (1988), we return to the thematic focus that defined this era of Olive Stone's career. He continues to explore the ghosts of the 1960s with Born on the Fourth of July, his 1989 anti-war drama starring Tom Cruise. We keep analyzing Stone's treatments of religion, sexuality, war, and masculinity, go over some sus production credits, and talk about how this film sets the stage for his even more extensive interaction with the counterculture psyop in 1991's The Doors.

A preview clip from Brett's recent deep dive into the 1954 film Suddenly, starring Frank Sinatra as a mob hitman hired to assassinate a US president. The full Patreon-exclusive episode is a supplement to both our Joker Cycle series and our recent episode on The Manchurian Candidate.

Brett uncovers the source of the legend that Lee Harvey Oswald viewed the film a month before the JFK assassination, exposing how that legend has been deliberately amplified by intelligence assets and professional psyop’ers with a view toward bolstering the lone gunman theory. According to another legend, Sinatra had the film pulled out of circulation after the assassination—a carbon copy of a popular legend about The Manchurian Candidate. Brett explains how these legends have been used to apply a soft version of the “copycat” thesis to Oswald, as well as how the film’s portrayal of the psychopathic assassin instantiates an early form of the profile, popularized in later films like Taxi Driver. Media depictions of the profile, as explained here and throughout the Joker Cycle series, function not only to explain away assassinations and other deep states crimes but, via the dynamics of cybernetic feedback loops, to engineer the very psychopathological behaviors depicted.

Returning to True Detective, Thomas is joined by Jamie Hanshaw Dyer to analyze the controversial fourth season, Night Country, which takes a much less subtle approach in its psy-op messaging than any previous season. They describe its occult feminist inversions of the first season and how Night Country promotes the dissolution of both familial and metaphysical order. Thomas also gives his updated thoughts on the positive and negative aspects of the series as a whole and speculates about the original intentions behind it.

Brett and Thomas are joined by Jason McGinty, author of The Unsung Substack, for a discussion of both Clint Eastwood's 1976 film The Outlaw Josey Wales and Eastwood's broader persona. We talk about the movie's use of the Lost Cause narrative about the Civil War, with Jason providing his expertise on the historical backdrop of the film, the war between the Jayhawker and Bushwhacker guerilla factions in Kansas and Missouri. With references to many Eastwood films and other aspects of his life and career, we make the case that the rugged individualism of his action movies was largely a Trojan horse, a masculine guise used to subvert the social order and accelerate the dissolution of the family.

In the second installment of our Surveillance Cinema series, we are joined by citizen journalist Travis Mateer for a discussion of Sneakers, a 1992 comedy heist thriller, directed by Phil Alden Robinson and starring Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley. Among the most conspiratorially significant films of all time, Sneakers is an overt vehicle for globalist views on information warfare, filled with limited hangouts, misdirection, and predictive programming. We get into the sus background of the director, writers, and much of the cast, also analyzing related films, such as Blindfold (1966), WarGames (1983), and Volunteers (1985).
