What happens when children identify with the sympathetic evil character?
The Story of Eclipse will follow heroine Bella Swan as she nears graduation while trying to navigate the dangers of the ongoing vampire-werewolf struggle. Mysterious killings turn up around Seattle and a malicious vampire looks for revenge.
"The Illuminati are Luciferians who have harnessed man's divine spirit for evil. They believe evil is good and good is evil. Thus these "light bearers" are really evildoers. This is the origin of Orwell's "doublespeak." (Technically, Satanists differ from Luciferians in that they know evil is evil and revel in it.) " Henry MakowNot recognizing the "Intro To The Occult" fantasy indoctrination that is Harry Potter, Plantation Negros let their children read it because deep down inside they think anything white people do must be ok.

I find Makow to be a dubious cat to quote on most things. I will say that there's definitely been a progression. I remember when I was in high school and Brandon Lee died, that year...The Crow was who all the cool dudes wore on their T-shirts and dressed up as for Halloween. An undead former rock star in white face paint and smeared eye makeup who rises from the grave to take vengeance against the murderers and thugs who killed him and raped his girlfriend. A pretty dark character, but still someone whose actions can be understood as some sort of justice, no matter how extreme and dark.
Flash forward to the 2000s. Heath Leadger dies and all of a sudden, the cool kids are wearing the Joker on their t-shirts and dressing up like him for Halloween. Same white facepaint, dark, trench-coat chic and smeared eye make-up. The difference? This character isn't even a nominally justified psychopath. He's simply a murderous psychopath. I guess the Dark Knight himself is no longer dark enough to be cool.
Also in the 90's, there was a disturbing movie called Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. It's one of those things a friend wanted to watch which I regret ever seeing. A couple hours of my life subjecting myself to degradation that I won't get back. There was no attempt to explain this killer or to make him likeable. He simply just was: alien and empty.
Flash forward to today: Henry is now Dexter and is a big hit TV show where we root for the likeable serial killer.
I guess we're being trained to root for those characters who think we're better off dead, or at least believe we don't have any thing greater than "use" value for someone else's fix--someone more ruthless than we.
Is Harry Potter the thesis or antithesis to this? Two sides of the same coin? or is it something different...

Yesssss.
Yes.
Well put.
They do think we are better off dead.
Peel that onion one more time and you will see that they have succeeded in convincing most of us that we are better off dead too.
Which is why we have people voluntarily committing slow dietary suicide.
They have been programmed to eat themselves to death.
Illuminating that contradiction causes the type of cognitive dissonance demonstrated by the educated pork eaters who frequent this spot.
Getting Plantation Negros not to eat Plantation food is as challenging as it would have been to get residents of Jonestown not to drink the Jim Jones juice.

1) Why?
2) Could you please give an example of someone you find 'less dubious' to qoute?
3)Could you please give an example of a quote more worthy of quotation than a Makow quote.
Never heard of Cadeveo before tonight, but this is his 2nd comment I've seen that rocks.
As for Makow, I started reading him at the hit or miss off the wall rense.com site years ago. Makow strikes me as being one strange and creepy cat, and I think his views of women are that they are born to be man's servant. Fuck that and his women slaving on his plantation mentality.
God made woman from Adam's rib to be his partner, not at his feet nor above, behind or ahead of him.
Something about Makow used to strike me as emotionally perverse, but it was too long ago and I don't recall now. Google for how he found his wife, if he's still with her. Might be his 2nd wife; she's Asian. IMO, if she's lucky, she got her citizenship by now and ran like hell.
That quote you quoted him as saying will resonate with Illuminati believers (I'm dubious; I think they're greedy, sociopathic rich fucks with no morals, full of hate and never worked hard a day in their life, and they've been around since Cain slew Abel) is the same stuff other people were saying long before he said it.
However, DV, I did like what you said A LOT about the satantic "heroes" nowadays. It's evil evil evil, and kids have less empathy for others than I've seen.
I'm personally weary from the escalation of evil in the past decade, and especially this year. The Gulf oil disaster and all the lies and coverups that goes with it blows my mind. This ecological catastrophe may well be the final act that causes the utter collapse of this imperfect country I love.
I'm about ready to tune out and unplug for a long time.
For one, Makow uses way too much ALL or NONE thinking, which, to me, often bespeaks dangerous fanaticism and mental imbalance. I co-sign on his views about women, but also his language is just sloppy. Too much broad brush--slides into demagoguery too quickly. When he pops shit about folks of Jewish extraction he means ALL folks of Jewish extraction. He's not tipping sacred cows to enlarge a debate, he's just vibing off hate. Like I said, though, even Makow can say something with some truth to it now and again--if he says something that points to truth or is accurate in someway, fine. Most of the time, the cat's like a landmine.
In regards to Illuminati and similar functioning secret societies hovering around the upper levels of the control hierarchy, Terry Melanson is the man. He's spent over ten years doing real research--going over the German source documents from the 1700's, peeping the first exposes from the time of the exposure and outlawing of the group; he's traced the membership from the time of Weishaupt's leadership (many members of nobility and politically connected families), what their descendants have been up to, and on and on.
Makow is a preschooler banging around in the coat closet next to that dude.
Besides, you get stuck on the name Illuminati as a shorthand for the nefarious THEM (whoever THEY really are--and there is a THEY), and you get easily lost in blind alleys. Is Opus Dei the Illuminati? The Bilderbergs? CFR? The Round Table group? I seriously doubt any of the interconnected cats in those groups refer to themselves as "The Illuminati"--just peep the connections and the way the membership overlaps, coordinates and functions, don't get caught up on the label.
