Freaky Fridays- the 9.11/ Abortion/Hollywood Connection.

I'm not a "the government did it" 9/11 conspiracy theorist. I DO think there is far more to the story of what happened on that fateful September day, but I'm not sure that I will ever fully understand it and I'm only half trying.

I think to some degree, 9/11 was a mystical event in that it ushered in a new age in the world....  drawing us closer to a global, one -world government and simultaneously drawing pride and fear and woundedness from Americans, none of whom -- or few of whom-- seem to have picked up on the fact that for the first time ever, Americans were being FORCED into a situation where they were literally mourning and covered in ashes. Thousands of us. On a spiritual plane, that has to mean something.

The other day a Facebook friend posted this video, regarding the uncanny "foreknowledge" many Hollywood films exhibited about 9/11. We've all seen the bizarre Simpsons episode. This was a compilation of many of those same head scratchers, from lots of different movies. The purpose of this video was to enlighten people about the questions surrounding 9.11 and also about the Illuminati. (To be clear, neither of which I know anything about or believe anything in particular about... I just note that it s a popular belief system.)

You see, most people want a scapegoat. I was as disturbed by the terror attacks as I was by the response of Americans here in my military hometown dancing in the street at the news of Bin Ladin's death. I was as upset by our government's response (tightening security and acting like a psycho ex-boyfriend) as I was by Imams who were preaching the "good news" of the terror attacks. For a while, it was nice to be able to place blame.... Terrorism is because of Islam. Celebrity culture is because of drugs and alcohol. Government corruption is because of money. Right?

9/11 was a wake up call, that I know, and unfortunately, I do NOT believe the world is better for what changes we have implemented. I believe that there is less security, less safety, less dignity, less freedom and  life.... and that it is getting worse by the minute.

 I don't blame my government, although I'm sure that some people in my government had something to do with it. I don't blame Al Qaeda, although I'm sure that some people in Al Qaeda had something to do with it. I don't blame aliens, or hollywood, or anything, or anyone, really. Just Satan, who the Bible calls the god of this world, and who has clearly been using some unsavory characters to plan, plot, and propogate violence and fear and confusion, etc. We need to be good and frustrated as a global community for Antichrist to come on the scene (and no, he's not Obama.)

In the same vein, I noticed lately that some of our most vocal and adamant Pro-Life priests are being taken out, one by one. First Fr Tom Euteneuer, then Fr Corapi, and now Fr. Pavone.  Many Catholics felt disheartened or let down by the realization that their leaders had failed them. Call me weird, but I was motivated..... hello??!! This is IT. THIS is the warfare of the saints. There isn't one pope, or one Bishop, not ten priests or twenty laypeople that you can BLAME for what's wrong in the Church. Our job isn't to be overwhelmed by the evident evil and accuse persons and pit ourselves in rage against them.... our job is to pray, and wage warfare, and declare the advance of the Kingdom of Heaven over the kingdom of darkness.

Whatever the subject...   9/11, illuminati/freemasonry, the issues in the Church, the issues in hollywood, celebrity alter egos, rock and roll, new age, globalism, greedy corporations, "un"natural natural disasters, weather control, religious wars,  out of control governments, pornography, countries who kill their young.... it's all there, it's all connected, like giant pieces to the puzzle of our lives. Why be let down when Satan manifests his works? Be grateful, and be somber-- for the Gospel of Life and Salvation is true and Jesus Christ is coming again. Quite frankly, it gives me a lot of peace and de-mystifies the whole blame-game for me each and every time a new "outrageous" thing happens that sets the American emotion machine into action.

So with that in mind, enjoy this little documentary I found on demonic posession. Because if the people who manifest evil around this world are indeed as evil as they appear.... it certainly isn't coming from no where. Blame the right person. Blame the devil, and remember that your battle is not against flesh and blood but against the wickedness in the spiritual realm.

Freaky Fridays: The Satanic Megamind Conspiracy

As you well know, I'm a big fan of outing Satan's tactics to destroy and pervert the mind, and in particular I love to expose subliminal messages and mind control techniques used in our modern, media-rich environment.
So here's this week's Freaky Friday: another cartoon (surprise!) seeks to subvert traditional mindsets and build sin into our kids' psychological makeup.
Now, keep in mind that there are two sides to every coin, that what is intended for evil can just as easily be used for good. We live in the world and we can never "hide" from all of the Satanic "stuff" floating around. I know my kids will probably see this movie at some point, and that's why I'm writing this-- because when they do, we'll have to talk about what's right, and what's wrong, with what they see.
In fact, the way this movie came on my radar is via a happy meal at McDonalds (yes, we still have the occasional treat at McDonalds. If you want to buy us organic produce and farm-raised, cage free meat for thousands and thousands of dollars a year, we'll gladly accept. ;)) Anyways, it took my husband about ten seconds of watching my kids joyfully examining their new Happy Meal box to figure out what this new movie was all about.
 So, without furthur ado, I present to you the latest in my conspiracy-oriented rants: MegaMind. Which, I'll be honest, my kids will probably see. So long as we KNOW what we are looking at and talk about it, right? That's my philosophy.
The synopsis, according to Rotten Tomatoes, is as follows:


Megamind is the most brilliant super-villain the world has ever known... and the least successful. Over the years, he has tried to conquer Metro City... Megamind is the most brilliant super-villain the world has ever known... and the least successful. Over the years, he has tried to conquer Metro City in every imaginable way. Each attempt has been a colossal failure, thanks to the caped superhero known as "Metro Man," until the day Megamind actually defeats him in the throes of one of his botched evil plans. Suddenly, the fate of Metro City is threatened when a new villain arrives and chaos runs rampant, leaving everyone to wonder: Can the world's biggest "mind" actually be the one to save the day?

From the reviews it is easy to see that this movie has something for kids and grownups-- funny plotlines, clever scenes, and an excellent cast. I also read that the movie carries a strong "redemptive" theme and teaches about forgiveness.  I'm quite certain it will be enjoyable as an experience and a good "bonding" activity for kids and parents. And keep in mind, of course, that I have not seen this movie.

But what bothered us right off the bat?

First of all, let's look at the superhero, MetroMan. Here he is on the right. At first glance, he appears to be quite a stud. Named for his metropolitan home, MetroCity, He is buff, dashing, "good," and everything a male superhero should be.Right? 
So why is her wearing such an obviously fashionista designed super-costume, complete with fringed leather boots and gloves, a designer collar and buttons and a studded leather belt? Why is his hair so... perfect? Could it be that "MetroMan" is a play on our concept of "Metrosexuality?"

Let's start with a definition of metrosexuality:


Metrosexual: A heterosexual man whose masculinity goes beyond the stereotyped masculine, thus, he is not confined to a normative definition of masculinity.

In other words: he's kinda girly. In a manly, socially-acceptable kind of way. (Whatever THAT means these days.). One need only google "MetroMan" to find a slew of pics of very masculine/feminine celebrities and begin to wonder what exactly we are trying to say by normalizing the "metrosexual" man. He's not QUITE gay-- but he certainly enjoys displaying femine qualities. Harmless to the creation of traditional masculinity in our youth? A sneaky, subliminal way to break down our mental barriers about traditional gender roles and homosexuality? You decide.

 Now let's have a look at the main female character: Roxanne Ritchi.
Roxanne wears her hair super short and in a boyish cut. She is totally unafraid of Megamind's antics, making her much less than vulnerable or even feminine. She's a tough go- getter, hardly the picture of feminine characteristics in the ordinary boy-saves-girl superhero story. As a job-oriented career reporter, she's out to get the story.

 And I know that some of you will think this is a good thing, but I have to ask you: when you combine the obvious de-feminizing of the female character and emasculating of the male character, what are you left with? Fuzzy sexuality. A confused "Metro-City" where women can be men and men can be women, where dress, hair, makeup and style, as well as personal characteristics are completely androgynous. All wrapped up in a fascinating, entertaining, audience-wowing 3D
miracle. (Think back on the flashes of "Metro City" we get from the trailer alone: Dads wearing babies. Women adoringly kissing a quickly disappearing and just-out-of reach "metro-man's" feet, Male voices yelling "I love you, MetroMan!"...you get the picture. Externally, of course, it all seems very wholesome indeed. As usual, we find a while lot of truth and goodness mixed in with just one or two "tiny" but perfectly placed lies.)

Last, we look at the not-so "evil" bad guy: Mega Mind.
Here, the villain is not only loveable but dashing, funny, witty, and ultimately his own kind of "good." (Despite the obvious allusion to S&M/Bondage gear/style in his uber fashionable studded black leather/vynil getup and dark surroundings... think Gaultier meets Lady Gaga video.) We follow him from an alien infancy to see all the scenarios in which he was a victim of circumstance (you've heard me rant before about how society is constantly teaching us that EVERYONE is a victim and thus not responsible for his/her own behavior.) I will also add that he has a strange blue coloring-- making him "different" and instilling in us as sense that "different is OK" as he rapidly climbs our inner moral wall to have us accept him and his pyschological journey from "bad guy" to "good guy."
Now, sure, there's nothing wrong with that, unless we are talking about differences that make up "good" an "evil." But what is good and evil to a kid learning that there are NO absolutes- no right, no wrong, no "normal" and "strange," no male, no female?

Ultimately, his "teacherous plans" become interesting to the people of MetroCity and the bad guy becomes a hero. Hmmm. So evil is the new good?
Let's see.
I seem to recall a funny theme going through the last three big kids' cartoons to hit theater-- maybe you can pick it out too.
