All right, I just watched the movie Ghost Soldier with Jim Caviezel, and there was a lot of obvious symbolism going on. He basically plays a spook who is trying to protect a town in Wyoming from a foreign invasion aimed at monetizing the water. That’s the plot.
What’s noteworthy is that Caviezel was in a well-known movie about child sex trafficking, and this movie alludes to that concept. The bad guys’ company is named Brownstone. “Brownstone” is a term for blackmailing people in Washington, D.C., brownstones by putting them with children, taking pictures, and owning their careers.
That’s what “brownstone” means. And the word “brownstone” is everywhere—it’s in almost every frame of this movie. The other noteworthy thing is that the movie is called Ghost Soldier.
Well, in World War II, the United States military fought Hitler and the Nazis with a ghost army, and it’s very obvious that we’re seeing a lot of connections from one to the other without things being explicitly stated. I think this is very smart in terms of movie symbolism. However, there’s something else happening that I don’t think is so smart.
The White House is using a lot of comms to allude to an information operation that has led to controversial violence. I’m sure we all know what it is. You know, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, “Panic in D.C.”—I’m sure you all know what I’m talking about.
The problem with this is that even though it signals to Trump followers, it is easily distorted and weaponized by people who inject poison into the message, and the average person will not be able to tell it apart. Reportedly, that is what is happening. So I think we should keep the symbols clean and straightforward—not that.
