Lolita and the Hellfire Club

I have long suspected that Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, was blowing the whistle on some kind of Hellfire Club going on among the prominent and wealthy.

Revelations since about Jeffrey Epstein and P Diddy and Hillary Clinton’s Russia hoax seem to confirm this. There really has been some sort of immoral cabal at the top running much of the society. And this explains many things, like large corporations seeming to act against their own self-interest, politicians going against the popular will and fearing free speech, and, not least, Trump Derangement Syndrome.

But for how long has this been going on? Is it new, or are we only hearing about it now?

 Kubrick’s far earlier film, Lolita, 1962, might also have been a blow on the whistle. It deals with ephebophilia, which seems the dominant obsession of the Epstein cult. That is, having sex with young, but post-pubescent, women. An obvious attraction for the rich and powerful: all societies and cultures see youth and innocence as highly desirable in women. So it is reasonable to foresee this as an ideal commodity for a corrupt blackmail cult.

Kubrick filmed Lolita as his first independent production, after breaking a multi-film contract with Kirk Douglas. The two had a bitter falling out.

In the opening scene of Lolita, James Mason asks Peter Sellers, “Are you Quilty?” And Sellers responds, “I am Spartacus. Why, have you come to free the slaves, or something?”

The film is relatively sympathetic towards Mason as Humbert for his obsession with underage Lolita. It is a natural enough desire. But Quilty is the real villain. As the movie’s plot unfolds, he kidnaps the underage Lolita and takes her to a “dude ranch” full of his “weird friends.”

It sounds so much like the Epstein arrangement.

Spartacus, in Kubrick’s previous film, was played by Kirk Douglas. By saying “I am Spartacus,” Quilty/Sellers is identifying himself with Douglas. And implying Douglas in some sense kept slaves, as Quilty does. Perhaps young female slaves, as Quilty does.

In 2021, soon following his death, Douglas was accused by the family of Natalie Wood of having brutally raped her when she was a child star of sixteen. She and her family had kept silence all these years due to fear of his power and influence.

There are suspicions around another starlet, Jean Spangler. Not underage; but she disappeared. Her purse was found, with signs of a struggle, containing an unfinished note that read “Kirk: Can’t wait any longer, Going to see Dr. Scott. It will work best this way while mother is away,” She was three months pregnant. Like the pianist in Eyes Wide Shut, there has been no sign of her since.

Whatever his experiences with Douglas, as soon as he was able to get out of that contract, Kubrick decamped to England for the rest of his life, a very strange move in terms of career. Although Lolita was set in the US, Kubrick awkwardly filmed it in England, using what American or Canadian actors resident in the UK to get the accents right. As he did for all the rest of his films. Surely a striking eccentricity. As if there was something in Hollywood he feared or needed to escape.

Kubrick’s wife has said he had wanted to make Eyes Wide Shut for years, but felt he was not ready to yet. Not ready? What held him up? It was not an expensive story to film in terms of special effects, like some of the other films he made before it. It did not require great historical research, like some of the other films he made before it. And as soon as he did make it, he suddenly died. A heart attack in his sleep, age 70, six days after the film’s final cut.

Did they get to him?

Did he let go and die knowing he had finally said what needed to be said?

Did he die of the stress of possible reactions from powerful quarters?

I hope one day we know.

The Hellfire Club

 

I have heard both Vivek Ramaswamy and Jacob Rees-Mogg say recently that nobody is actually in control in Washington; there is nobody actually pulling the strings behind Joe Biden. Instead, it is a “mechanism,” according to Ramaswamy; Rees-Mogg says a “blob.” 

How does tis mechanism work, though? How does a blob coordinate the actions of many on many levels?

I think behind it, there must be something like a Hellfire Club; of which we actually heard in the Jeffrey Epstein revelations. We even know what they’re up to: the main lure is sex, especially sex with minors. Once someone has been compromised by participating, there is really no further need for coordination. The need to protect all other members, and the secrets of the club, becomes automatic, and dictates the necessary actions at all levels.

And this must be why they are so determined to stop Trump: he is not compromised. He is not a member of the club. In power, he might blow the lid off. It is not about political ideology. Trump is only a moderate Republican. They are similarly afraid of RFK Jr. on the left; or Tulsi Gabbard. 

I believe they killed Stanley Kubrick for obliquely revealing their existence in Eyes Wide Shut. Of course, they killed Jeffrey Epstein. They will try to kill any non0member who gets close to the highest levels of power, or anyone who, once a member, looks likely to reveal any secrets. 

Surely this will all come out soon. It is getting too obvious that this is going on.

Nothing to See Here: Johnston

 

Sensible people do not believe in conspiracy theories. “Conspiracy theory” has become a decisive put-down in any argument.

Which ought to make us suspicious. If there were conspiracies afoot, this would be the ideal way to protect them, wouldn’t it? By ruling the possibility out of consideration. Perhaps we should suspect anyone who dismisses conspiracy theories.

I used to accept the logic that any widespread conspiracy was unlikely to succeed. The reasoning is that, if many people are involved, the odds of someone blowing the whistle go up exponentially. As the conspiracy continues over a longer period, the odds of someone blowing the whistle go up. And, I might add, the more nefarious the activity, the greater the likelihood that somebody’s conscience is going to become unbearable.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is probably the most famous discredited conspiracy theory. But the example is ambiguous. If the claim of an International Jewish Conspiracy was false, there was a conspiracy by some group to propagate this forgery. Nobody knows who was actually behind the Protocols—nobody talked. A successful and enduring conspiracy.

Conspiracy theories were also more common before Oliver Stone’s film JFK. Intentionally or not, Stone seems to have killed the whole notion of conspiracies by advocating a particularly improbable conspiracy in that film.

Yet more recently, the idea of a conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy has begun to look more credible again. We see how the intelligence establishment colluded to subvert Trump—why not Kennedy? RFK Jr. reveals that his father assumed the death was the work of the CIA. And, as Attorney-General, RFK Sr. was in a position to know more than we.

We have seen a good many real conspiracies uncovered, too, in recent years: the conspiracy to suppress knowledge of Hunter Biden’s laptop; the conspiracy to tie Trump to Russian collusion; the conspiracy to suppress problems with the Covid vaccines; denial of the Wuhan lab leak and of gain-of-function research; Cardinal McCarrick’s gay mafia within the Catholic Church; Jeffrey Epstein’s Lolita Island. We know the Chinese government has been trying to subvert Canadian elections, and American congressmen have been sleeping with Chinese spies. 

There has to be a flaw in the argument against conspiracy theories; and I now think I see it. Yes, a whistleblower is likely. But how likely is he to be believed? 

In Wiesel’s Night, Moishe the Beadle returns to their Transylvanian village near the end of the Second World War, within sight of the end of the Nazi regime, with news of mass executions of Jews, from which he himself barely escaped. And nobody believes it. In 1944, among European Jews, no one believes it.

“But people not only refused to believe his tales, they refused to listen. Some even insinuated that he only wanted their pity, that he was imagining things. Others flatly said that he had gone mad.”

We need to factor in the human instinct for denial. The more disturbing the news of the conspiracy, the less likely people are to believe it, so long as denial is possible, and perhaps beyond. Because thinking of it is disturbing.

Nobody will touch the topic of Epstein’s death; nobody is demanding the client list. Nobody gets to see the manifesto from the Nashville shooter. There were whistles blown on McCarrick; they were ignored. YouTube still censors any suggestion that the Covid vaccines were not safe and effective; and there is no pushback from the media. Eric Swalwell continued on the House Intelligence Committee, after his affair with sa Chinese spy was known. A paper from Thailand pointed out the almost certainly synthetic origin of the Covid virus only months after it appeared; it was discounted and scorned. It was fairly obvious to any alert reader from the beginning that the Trump Russian collusion hoax was a hoax, and that Hunter Biden’s laptop was real. But the media went along and did not challenge “the narrative.” Not, I think, because the entire media is part of some vast conspiracy, but from simple denial. You don’t want to believe the people in charge are baddies.

Which brings us to a few unanswered questions about current Canadian politics. 

Why did David Johnston agree to be Justin Trudeau’s “special rapporteur” on Chinese interference? In doing so, and in then not calling for a public inquiry, he is risking destroying what was a sterling public reputation, perhaps destroying his place in history. 

Everyone says he is a fine and upright person. Everyone also says he should never have agreed to take this job, due to apparent conflict of interest. Everyone also says that, having taken it, he had no choice but to call for a public enquiry.

So how to account for his actions? Why is he throwing away a lifetime’s work to protect Justin Trudeau?

People suggest it is because he is buddies with Trudeau. But the self-harm involved seems to go beyond what friendship could expect; indeed, if Trudeau were his friend, he would not ask him to do it.

His path in turn eerily parallels that of Judge Rouleau before him; and several other Trudeau-appointed ethics investigators; as if this is all predetermined.

Why is Jagmeet Singh supporting Trudeau and keeping him safely in power, in the face of successive scandals? It seems obviously destructive to his party’s fortunes, and to his own. He is lashing his fortunes to those of a party almost inevitably near the end of its tenure, and eliminating his party as an alternative; like a rat boarding a sinking ship. Indeed, why did he publicly sign on in the immediate wake of the Emergency Act, when Trudeau looked vulnerable, as if rallying to his side?

Wait; don’t leave out the Conservatives. Why, after seeming to show initial interest, and seeing a groundswell of support, did Pierre Poilievre, Jean Charest, Candice Bergen, and Rona Ambrose all back out of running for the leadership in 2020, within a couple of weeks of one another? Any of the three could probably have won against O’Toole or McKay. And no one can say neither Poilievre or Charest were interested in the job: they ran two years later.

The simplest explanation is that there is some conspiracy afoot. And I see how it could work.

Stanley Kubrick warned us of Hellfire Clubs among the rich and powerful in Eyes Wide Shut—before dying in post-production, like one character in the film who blew the whistle. Epstein and McCarrick have demonstrated that such Hellfire Clubs are indeed currently in operation in the US. Once a member has been brought in, through the attraction of free unorthodox sex or some other illegal activity, he can be blackmailed. So everyone is kept in line.

If, on the other hand, you will not buy in, the club will close ranks to do what it can to keep you out of power.

The tactic is obvious, and likely to be effective. 

David Johnston did not kill himself.

The Hellfire Club

 

Scuttlebutt is that Amber Heard ran a prostitution ring in Hollywood. She also videotaped, and blackmailed; and this supposedly explains her hold over Elon Musk, or her own sister.

It sounds fantastic; yet we have heard similar things. What about Jeffrey Epstein—whose clients have never been revealed? What about what we know from his laptop of the life of Hunter Biden?

I suspected that Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut was actually an expose. Now I really think so. And wonder whether Kubrick died of natural causes, so soon after filming.

I think we know from Epstein’s untimely and probably imposed suicide that the people involved in these sex and blackmail rings are prepared to kill to keep their secrets, and able to kill with impunity.

The possibility that a large proportion of the rich and powerful are bound together by participation in sex cults, and vulnerability to blackmail as a result, could explain much: the way the Democratic Party seemed able to fix the nomination for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and then Biden in 2020. The way Jagmeet Singh formed a coalition with Justin Trudeau, just as Trudeau looked vulnerable to a no-confidence vote, and apparently against the interests of the NDP. The way the Canadian or Dutch governments are so committed to the goals of the WEF that they will act against the interests of their own electorate—and their own re-election. The way the social media companies are so aggressive about censoring content, although it is sure to harm their bottom line. The list goes on.

Francis Dashwood, founder of one of history's "Hellfire Clubs."

It is a conspiracy theory; but experience has informed us that some conspiracies are real.

And really, why wouldn’t it be so? In better times, ruling elites are held back only by their own code of ethics. We know that any sense of ethics or honour has been publicly eroding now for generations. There is no longer, we are told openly by those at the top, any right or wrong. It is just what you can get away with.

Take that view, and this is the inevitable result. What’s the point of having so much money and power if you can’t use it to get yourself sexual pleasures unavailable to the hoi polloi? And why wouldn't some take advantage of the possibilities for blackmail and control? For more of the money and power they have always coveted?

The good thing about conspiracies, though, is that they are vulnerable to collapse. People are not good at keeping secrets. The bigger the cabal is, and the more damaging, the more likely it is that somebody talks. If my suspicions are warranted, it is only a matter of time before it all comes out. Indeed, it is all coming out, despite obvious attempts by the legacy media and authorities to bury it. Probably soon people will hear and realize what they are hearing.

Then there can be no more blackmail. Then everybody talks. Then Jeffrey Epstein, or Stanley Kubrick, will not have died in vain.

Naked and Afraid

 

Francis Dashwood, founder of the Hellfire Club

Rumours are rife on the Internet that Hunter Biden’s abandoned hard drive includes images of him not just smoking crack, but having sex with underage girls.

When, during his recent “town hall,” Trump was asked to unequivocally denounce Q-Anon, he avoided doing so. He claimed he did not know that much about them, but that they were against pedophilia. And so was he.

That sounds as though the rumours are true. If Trump knew that there were photos of Hunter Biden having sex with underage girls that were soon going to come out, he could not say Q-Anon was entirely wrong.

It seems weird that so many powerful men would have a thing about sex with underage girls; yet we know already about Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile ring. We know many prominent people were involved. And we know, surely, that Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself. That implies a powerful conspiracy.

We know there were things called Hellfire Clubs in the past. Prominent people would meet for various scandalous activities; we do not really know who or what, but we know the clubs were real. The facile assumption is that they did this because they could get away with it; perhaps also to show that they were above the law, and so above the common rabble. But this also would build an intense group identity, with ample opportunity for blackmail should anyone stray from the fold.

It seems only too probable that such a group would form in any elite at any time. Only their individual consciences would prevent it, and any who lack such a conscience could quickly take over from those who had one, thanks to their ability to work secretly together.

If this is real, this would explain Trump Derangement Syndrome: the problem would be that Trump was never a member, and so cannot be controlled. And may expose them all.

How could such a conspiracy last for very long without someone blowing their cover, you object?

But then, we know this has happened in the past. And perhaps somebody has blown that whistle. Isn’t that what Q is claiming to be doing?

I wonder whether that was something Stanley Kubrick was doing, too, with Eyes Wide Shut. Pity he died immediately after finishing that film …

This would explain why the anti-Trumpers have been going to such extraordinary measures to defeat Trump, and now to suppress the Biden revelations. They are spending a lot of their credibility here. It makes no business sense for the social media platforms to be acting as they are: they are driving away content creators and consumers, and almost demanding regulatory authorities come in and legislate. What could be worth it? High-ranking civil servants are compromising their cushy positions to battle Trump—violating their expected ethic of self-preservation at all costs. Mainstream media are squandering the coinage by which they trade, that people can trust them for the news.

It looks as though only the need to suppress some major scandal in which many of them are implicated could be worth this.
