A case study on how the elite exercise blame diffusion....
I wrote this awhile back so contextually it's a few months old, but I can't help but feel like it's a page right from the Elite Playbook.
--------------------------------------
I find it hard, if not impossible, to ignore the current protests going on all across America. At first, I found it refreshing and long overdue. But now, it seems contrived and somewhat misguided – if guided at all.
There are countless images and videos of hordes of youth, Mostly White, roaming the streets chanting what are now Corporate sponsored slogans, shutting down and destroying small businesses, and Angrily Confronting Any White Restaurant Diner who dares not renounce their privilege and join them in their months long march against the hard to define and ever elusive concept of “white supremacy.”
With the recent shift from Russian hysteria to a never-ending stream of videos of police shooting black men, I find myself grasping at ways to reconcile what I see in the media with what I believe to be the true source of our problems. Recently, I think I found a version of the truth in the fictional work of Alfred Hitchcock, which, in a weird way, supports the idea that sometimes the best way to reveal the truth is to tell a couple lies.
Are We Spellbound?
Spellbound, Alfred Hitchcock’s 1945 psychological thriller, stands as a great metaphor for America’s current white guilt complex, which, in a twisted way, impedes our Country’ ability to come to grips with the most horrific and tragic parts of our short, ethereal, history as a Republic, and ultimately, from holding those truly responsible to account. In that respect, Spellbound also provides a blueprint for a much overdue truth and reconciliation, which spoiler alert, requires us to take a long hard look – not in the mirror – but at the political leaders and self-described elite who have ruled this Country since even before its inception in 1776.
In Hitchcock’s film, Dr. Murchison the director of Green Acres, an institution for the criminally insane, is forced from his leadership role after a bout of age induced mental exhaustion and is replaced by Dr. Anthony Edwards. Unbeknownst to the audience, Dr. Edwards is in reality, John Ballantyne, a young amnesiac man, who assumes the role of Dr. Edwards after the doctor mysteriously disappeared a week prior. After quickly revealing that Mr. Ballantyne is an imposter, blame for Dr. Edwards disappearance rightfully focuses on Mr. Ballantyne.
Throughout the film, Mr. Ballantyne is haunted by his assumed role in the murder of Dr. Edwards, which manifests itself in an extreme diagnosed guilt complex that forces Mr. Ballantyne to flee his position at Green Acres allowing Dr. Murchison to resume control of the institution. While on the run, Mr. Ballantyne and Green Acres psychologist, Dr. Constance Peterson, go through intense psychoanalytic analysis, leading the audience to believe that the real Dr. Edwards died during a skiing accident.
Towards the very end of the film, Dr. Edwards body is discovered with a bullet wound, shattering any belief that Mr. Ballantyne was innocent after all. In pure Hitchock fashion, however, an 11th hour slip of the tongue by Dr. Murchison leads Dr. Pertersen to suspect Dr. Murchison’s role in the murder, which is finally revealed as an elaborate ruse to maintain control of Green Acres, while simultaneously shifting the blame for Dr. Edwards murder to Mr. Ballantyne, who turns out to be nothing more than unknowing patsy in Dr. Murchison’s Machiavellian scheme.
What About Today?
In today’s America, Our Geriatric Political Leaders, who appear to be Mr. Murchison reincarnate, seem hellbent on maintaining control – unable or unwilling to step aside.
With a complicit media and educational system, those shaping our foreign and domestic policies have been successful in gaslighting their fellow baby boomers and a significant portion of today’s youth by placing blame for all of America’s problems on Mr. Ballantyne, redefined in today’s terms as the abominable, yet elusive, white racist.
Of course, a careful analysis would reveal that today’s racial, economic, and health disparities have little to do with diners, or 17 year-olds, or even racist “Karens.” Rather, most of our problems can be attributed to a rapacious oligarchy – built upon economic and environmental extractions – that has done everything it can to deflect and shut down any voice, which dares to contradict the current narrative of white vs. black.
With no mainstream counter to this narrative, and with the current undeniable disparities that plague our Country, it’s no surprise that society has fully adopted this tube-fed narrative as dogma. And just like Mr. Ballantyne, it’s also not surprising that many white Americans feel a sense of shame and guilt, even for something they had no role in whatsoever.
But white guilt is not necessarily what scares me the most. Rather, what worries me is those individuals who, believing the narrative, feel the opposite of guilt. Trapped in a false belief that they are the murderers or oppressors portrayed in the media, individuals may feel inclined to live out that narrative.
And so, I feel it my duty to bring to light what I feel is the obvious truth – that those in current leadership are not the allies of the people. Through this truth, I hope that we can have a peaceful reconciliation; one leading to a voting out of the old guard. For “voting” is perhaps the best verb that they can expect if society suddenly – and violently – wakes up to the current Dr. Murchison type schemes.
