The PTB main calling card is the black & white checkerboard design you will find in… most… H-wood films. The Matrix being a classic example. All over the place in the trilogy.
I’m in no rush to publish Part Two of my exposé on the H-wood/PTB system of mind control, even after listening to the Friedkin’s ‘Director’s Commentary’ on the Bug DVD, and delving into a few other director’s histories, to see how wide and deep the corruption goes, notwithstanding that I pretty much already knew.
A classic PTB flick: The Adjustment Bureau. The design is especially prevalent in stories with ‘deep’ twists, like this one.
To those actively (in comments) clamoring for more on this subject, think about it from my point of view: I outright ask (a plea) for help in spreading around the Bug essay (a good two weeks work) with the thought that if it really got around, maybe Friedkin/Letts would come across it and be reminded what scumfucks they really are… but, more importantly – and I’ve written a few other Open Letters and essays I feel likewise about – my work might wake up a few others, at least amongst the little Bug movie cult that’s out there.
Addendum: I eventually did the spreading-the-word on my own via the 20-plus ‘alt media’ people I’ve been in touch with before. Not a word back nor did any of them provide to their readers links to my page, but I expected this, given that they all know I’m on to them (as PTB puppetery moles). See, this is why I need your help; blowing my own horn is inefficient for several reasons. I spend a couple weeks providing the truth and you guys would help me spread it. Too much to ask, I guess (with a couple or so exceptions). Okay, but don’t bug me about not providing enough amusement.
Sadly, The Big Lebowski (I love the Coen Bros flicks).
I also visited applicable Forums and YT comment sections and pasted in my pitch/link. For those of you who harbor doubts about the degree and success of H-wood’s mind fucking, you might give this podcast a look, a two-hour-plus round table analysis of Bug by a bunch of intellectuals/critics, one of whom (by far the most meat-headed of the lot) actually professionally produced Bug on stage. (Hearing this precipitated a startled yowl from yours truly, loud enough to jar Gus awake outside.) With this lockdown and so forth you probably have the time and should give this piece of work a look, for how surreal it gets as it rolls along, surreal in the doublethink/denial sense. (It’s also fun to quite correctly feel so superior to snobs like this crew.)
Veep, a comedy about the Vice President’s antics.
Four intellectuals in two hours of ‘deep analysis’ blabbing, and the closest anyone came… how to put this?… the closest anyone came to almost getting the meaning of Bug was… and I love this… one of them quoted a review I somehow hadn’t come across, and which said (the review did) that maybe Bug was a way of ‘discrediting conspiracy theories’… but holy shit, talk about right on the nose!… and the four of them applauded that review for its lunacy, i.e., for how it showed how multi-layered Bug really is, in the sense that even outright over-the-top nutcases can find ideas to identify with. I kid you not.
The West Wing. Not only checkered floors but pillows too. Note the pyramid on the wall. If it’s about politics you’ll see checkers.
If you do go there, click ‘Newest Comments’ and see if mine are still there. (I left three comments, couldn’t help myself.) The crew being ‘liberals’ I don’t expect they’ll censor me; but they certainly won’t reply either. Think about leaving a comment heckling them for not replying to my sarcasm or responding to my linked essay.
But see, my comments on that podcast were the sorts of thing I was hoping to get help on. From you. Come on. If you don’t pitch in a bit, don’t righteously complain later when… ah, fuck it. Never mind.
Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes is nine short films, EVERY ONE featuring obvious checkers. It’s almost like he’s goofing on the meme.
So I sat through Friedkin’s commentary and don’t have much to say about it. More of the same, but he had almost two hours to fill and you could tell how unhappy he was at having to do it; I’m sure he would have dodged it (the commentary) had it not been contractual. This was a few days ago (my listening), so lemme dig up my notes…
Another from Coffee and Cigs. What’s up with Jarmusch?
… what a mess (my notes)…I dunno if you really need to hear this, but some of Friedkin’s silences (during on-screen action) are significant, so I’ll list a few: Goss sniffs his son Lloyd’s shirt, mumbling ‘Little shit,’ any of the four ‘Lavoice custody’ beats, Agnes noticing no flyers on the other cars (pretty important), the bugs we see during the sex scene (super important), plus when RC first mentions Doctor Sweet… and so forth and on and on.
Friedkin mostly filled in the two hours spouting utter platitudes (about life in general) or claiming ignorance of what anything in the film means. When he ran out of this garbage he would simply tell us what we can clearly see on the screen, i.e., ‘Agnes opens the wine with her teeth,’ ‘the ceiling fan goes around and around’, and so forth.
Get my point?
But it was his many claims of ignorance of what the action/dialog means that had me snarling in disgust. See, it’s okay for a storyteller to leave certain story elements unclear in their meaning (subtext) to the audience (which is not the case here, everything being so clear), but he/they had better know the truth, the deeper meanings, what happens off-camera, backstory events, etc., otherwise he/they cannot direct the picture.
From Goodnight and Good Luck, a limited hangout about early TV news. All George Clooney’s films are ‘dirty,’ especially those he produces/directs, like this one.
Having dodged (through silence) the meaning of RC talking about Doctor Sweet, I was really looking forward to Sweet’s actual appearance (with Goss), how Friedkin would deal with it, given that the scene blows the whistle on… everything…
Guess how Friedkin deals with the Sweet scene — and actually I should have seen this coming, since Friedkin had nowhere else to go… he stutters out ‘I’m not sure if Sweet actually exists as a real person.’
Of course, via dropping this incredible load of horse shit, Friedkin completely lets himself off the hook of having to deal with the many reveals Sweet represents. Need I actually explain why this ultimate claim of ignorance makes no sense whatsoever? I mean, does anyone out there still not understand what’s going on with Friedkin/Letts?
True Detective miniseries is lousy with occult shit. Even in the credits.
Friedkin might as well have said that Peter is imaginary and that the whole movie is Agnes’s dream. But just from a technical (film logic) viewpoint, RC, in an earlier scene, had spilled the beans about Doctor Sweet’s search for Peter, so when Sweet shows up (with Goss) he pretty much has to be ‘real.’ And let’s not forget this beaut from Friedkin (to an interviewer):
Scott Pilgrim Against the World, about a slacker musician who must win a competition to get a record deal. Show biz movies are all manage to work in the calling card.
‘The character who seems to be the darkest at first, her ex-husband, is the guy that’s trying to save her. A lot of people don’t think about that aspect of it…’
I have to say it again: Wow. Does anyone doubt that Friedkin is lying here — as opposed to exposing some sort of cosmic dumbassedness — misdirecting, saying anything, no matter how stupid, to avoid the truth?
One more time: On the surface, Bug is the story of an MK-ULTRA-type experiment, Peter and Agnes as the victims, with the subtext (the real meaning) being akin to that of They Live, i.e., ‘Obey!’ And: People who believe in ‘conspiracy theories’ are insane.
From Veep. Not only is the VP’s office checkered, but her home too. What’s the message?
My favorite one-liner, though (in the commentary) was Friedkin’s musings about Peter. Having said that he (Friedkin) ‘doesn’t really know’ who Peter is, he adds ‘He might be a terrorist.’
Peter might be a terrorist.
Right. And you, Mr Friedkin, might be something else altogether.
I have to wonder about Tracy Letts. Obviously, he is completely on board with the mind control aspect of his story. What we don’t know is when he came on board, and how. What was he offered? How easy was it to turn him?
Letts wrote Bug in 1996 and assuming no major rewriting since then, even a casual reading of the play (absent the actors’ theatrics and critics telling us what to think) tells us that Letts was awake at that time; the research he had to have done (prior to 9/11, which is what woke so many of us up) means he was ahead of his time. He knew good and goddamn well what was/is being done to us.
For me, the level of disappointment… that someone of his talent and insight could be turned, almost certainly via career promises…
Addendum: The other (related) possibility being that Friedkin (or someone else) simply and patiently explained how the H-wood mind control world really works (HTHWMCWRW), and would he mind pitching in by publicly reinterpreting what the Bug narrative is? Smart as he is, Letts didn’t need another word said and did so well that career bonanzas just kept rolling in. From then on, Letts just knew how to conduct himself (to keep his benefactors happy), possibly without consciously realizing he’d ‘put himself back to sleep.’
Another from Coffee and Cigs.
…I watched another film Letts’d written (aside from Bug and Killer Joe), titled August: Osage County (2013), another ‘family’ story, with an all-star cast (Meryle Streep, Julia Roberts, and others). More great storytelling, more depiction of a wasted (very) American family, although not as horrendously so as with Joe. Destroy the image of the family unit being another important PTB agenda. Given that, as with Joe, the blatant theme of brother-sister incest is an Act 3 reveal, one has to wonder how twisted Letts’s real childhood was. (His official cv denies this; possibly part of the ‘deal’.) Is that his excuse? When he looks at himself in the mirror, what does he see?
Another writer/director I’m looking at is Christopher Nolan, whom I strongly suspect is a ‘next generation’ version of Friedkin, in terms of being an A-lister ‘on their side.’
But hold on. What’s the point? 
What’s the point?
The screenshot represents the result of my Open Letter to Friedkin/Letts, in terms of readership. Are any of you forwarding anything to anyone?
Sorry if I seem cranky, but the state of the planet is really getting to me, and the fact that so few are doing anything about it. Disgust is my word for the day.
The George Floyd ‘event’ is so obviously a staged provocation that I’m nearly speechless that so few are calling the bastards out on it. The riots (worldwide, it appears) are largely completely staged or partially so, via agents provocateurs. Is this clear to you?
Most Freemason ceremonies are done on the checkers, symbolizing… who the fuck knows?
It’s now more than ever imperative that you stock up on food and supplies, not only because of the coming ‘Second Wave’ of COVID and the shortages that will follow, but simply due to skyrocketing inflation, especially regarding food. Plus at some point you’ll likely need a ‘Vaccination Passport’ to just buy food. (Never mind ‘2 – 3 months’ worth: have a years’ supply of necessities stored.) Be prepared for the worst in the coming months.
Is anyone really listening?
Allan
Has anyone heard from Allan? It seems a little out of character for him to be gone this long. I’m getting a little concerned. Anyone?
Soooooooooo, everyone still think Covid-19 is a fake and/or harmless thing? Are one of YOU a super-spreader? So many run around full of self confidence and deluded ideas about science. They are probably full of non symptomatic covid-19, too. “I don’t need no mask!” It’s all a big conspiracy to take over, blah, blah. Just like in 1918, right? No.
Yep, it’s the biggest dirtiest rottenest hoax ever pulled in the history of the world.
I could give you at least 100 concrete reasons why, but I really can’t be bothered.
And the govt.s should be shot for locking up the 99.9% for the 0.01% very old folk (who could have stayed home and sucked up their precious TV news all day).
I’m sure they would be just as concrete as the statistics you quote, both originating from your behind.
In the last post’s comments, someone said you were from Australia. If that is so, they immediately did all the right things, and were able to (apparently) flatten the curve of cases. It Is one of the safest places in the world as far as that. Unfortunately we Americans bungled the testing, then politicized even believing in the virus and wearing a mask. I wouldn’t be surprised if the idiotic Republican right wing nuts (and greedy airlines) don’t spread it all over the world, including Australia again. With so little cases in Australia, of course you probably don’t know anyone with it, or have been impacted by it. That can change relatively quickly. Here in the USA, it is getting increasingly impossible to pretend like it’s not a real thing, and something to be very concerned about. If I were you, I would keep out the Americans, or make them quarantine for a while before being let in.
I’m not from Australia. And by what you have written, you are one of those DUMB as Fk. pod people (totally easily swayed & controlled by the MSMedia TV) , walking around like out of that movie ‘The Return of the Living Dead’ , afraid of dying – but you are already dead.
I thought someone said you lived “down under.” Sorry. There are no pod people in the return of the living dead. That’s a cool movie, though. I saw it in the theater. None of the main characters fit your description. There were brain-eating zombies everywhere. They took protective measures, but they didn’t whine about not wanting to die. Until they were room temperature, and obviously dead, which they found disconcerting.
I hope Allan is ok. And everyone else, too.
For what it is worth to you, Alan, I’ve been thinking a lot about Bug and your theories.
I have a big issue with the lack of helicopter noise outside the hotel, but I can follow your rationale easily for the rest.
This is some creepy stuff about Praying Mantis behavior.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoEfjhgwliw&t=911s
What ‘big’ issue? Because they might be imagining the noise? So what? With all the other evidence we know Peter and Agnes are under harassment. So what if they are driven to hearing noises? How could a detail like that equal a big issue?
Because the lack of the helicopter noise from the perspective from outside the room suggests they are indeed deluded and not necessarily “bugged.”
I did find Ashley Judd’s “I am the Super Mother Bug!” scene very well done and believable. I am not saying the helicopter thing complete ruins the suspension of disbelief, but it does make me go “hmmm.”
For what it is worth (probably nada to Allan), I live in flyover nowhere Missouri Ozarks. Retired from USAF service and contract work years ago, I am somewhat aware of the difference in a lightning bug and a stroke of lightning.
A helicopter flew over my log cabin the other day and I went out to see who or what was lost out here.
Sabbatean Frankist Death Cult Operation…. Most of the Animals on the farm are none the wiser.

Allan, I noticed this years ago (one of my fave song birds) > https://youtu.be/9z_Eh8ZZ4MU
Because as we know, the music industry is rife with control by you know who.
And if they don’t follow their guide lines, my god they fall off the radar, are locked in court battles, or mysteriously die. IMO of a broken heart.
Having seen the black and white checker board design crop up in films multiple times, I do wonder what the significance is for the PTB. Is it a pun or nod from one power broker to another ? The world as a chess board ? The working class = pawns to be sacrificed if need be ? Or is it a long term advertisement for check vinyl floor coverings ?
How about you do an online search for ‘Freemason meaning of black & white checkers’? Do you understand that virtually all human knowledge is at your fingertips? Why are you ‘wondering’ rather than learning?
Here is how easy it is: https://www.google.com/search?q=Freemason+meaning+of+black+%26+white+checkers&oq=Freemason+meaning+of+black+%26+white+checkers&aqs=chrome..69i57.3523j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Thanks for the lnk. I had known this years ago but forgot. Interesting line from masonrytoday.com;
.. the philosophical explanation is what should be most important to the Freemason. The reminder that good and evil is present in all of our lives should be taken as a reminder and as a warning.
“The crew being ‘liberals’ I don’t expect they’ll censor me; but they certainly won’t reply either.”
That is the liberal mind-set in a nutshell: they listen with their big tolerant Ear — and you dont find out till a year later that your message had gone right out the Other.
Also —
Surely one does not have to be a follower of Miles Mathis to find it provocative that Harry Connick, Jr., should have had a rôle in ‘Bug’. We do remember, don’t we, in what production Harry Connick, Sr., had a rôle ?
How about you tell us?
Erm ..
Harry Connick, Sr. won election as DA of Orleans Parish in 1973, while Jim Garrison was fighting charges of taking pinball machine baksheesh. (his own former chief investigator had concocted the charges).
Among new DA Connick’s first actions were to destroy (or so he thought) the files of Garrison’s JFK assassination investigation, and to drop Garrison’s perjury case against Kerry Wendell Thornley (1938–1998), who had denied having anything to do with Oswald after their service in Atsugi (神奈川県), despite living in New Orleans for two years, writing a book about Oswald (‘the idle warriors’, finished 1962/Feb), and meeting with mysterious figures who discussed the coming assassination.
Other stinky or mis- conduct by Connick, Sr. (says wiki):
“According to the Innocence Project, […] 36 men convicted in Orleans Parish during Connick’s 30-year tenure as DA have made allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, and 19 have had their sentences overturned or reduced as a result.”
( https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2010/10/supreme-court-case-can-a-man-exonerated-of-capital-murder-sue-the-prosecutor-who-convicted-him.html )
“In the case of [AFRICAN-AMERICAN] Shareef Cousin, Connick’s attorneys withheld a key witness statement from the defense, arguing that the prosecution was under no legal obligation to disclose such information. As a result, Cousin was put on death row at the age of 16, but the conviction and death sentence was overturned after four years, in 1999.”
OK?
You brought up Nolan, about whom I think you can say, like Lynch, he is a puzzle-maker. They’ll make movies where some kind of code to “solving” them is contained within. They make more intellectual representations of that whole “Sixth Sense” phenomenon, wherein nothing dramatic released by Hollywood after about 1999 can avoid some kind of a “trick ending”. These pictures tend to not even be as effective as Hitchcock at his worst (never mind his best), and will actually skip certain key dramatic moments as they near conclusions which nonetheless pile on more “clues”. (Think Memento). They’re not conventionally dramatic, and in the case of something like Lynch and his “Mulholland Drive,” the movie will ultimately resemble a half-eaten apple found in a dumpster, lovingly gussied up with nuts and caramel (how’s that for Symbolism?)
I’m looking for any chess board skulldugery in yer Miami Vice’s Allan! 😀
Dude, the only black n white checquerboard pattern you’re likely to find in M.V. is on Tubbs’s frikking tie.
But hey, knock yerself out on watching all those past episodes.
Rather you than me, 😂
But Alan did pop his literary cherry on those li’l gems, so we should be grateful, I guess.
But gimme Colin Farrell’s Crockett ANY day. Now that was a script. And that haaaat asian chick? Wooooowwww,,,,
I’m still holding out for part deux of Bug, though. Now that covid has magically disappeared we double digit IQ tree dwellers need something to look forward to.
What would it mean if you either did or did not find anything in Vice? I can suggest better examples.
I was really only joking Allan. I/we loved Miami Vice, and it wasn’t heavy at all with the dark vibes of many of today’s movies. ie yes there are many better examples to sift through.
‘Terminator2’ was a tremendous movie, and it had another monster ‘chess board’ floor scene – where that guy morphs out of the floor.
I found that scene: In a transhumanism subtext sense, that’s the numero uno checkered scene so far. Congrats, you win the lifetime subscription!
It’s at 8:30 in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBShyOajLcg
From now on try to supply the image. I collect them. A hobby.
Thanks Allan! (best writer on the planet) 🙂
Image should be here > https://youtu.be/DXsyn-9VLVA
IMO that is the most profound & in your face “chess board” scene ever!
Isn’t it really chess that’s being played ?
Incisive! Really incisive.
Seems like the floor in “The Black Lodge” from Twin Peaks fits in here somewhere:

Had some time due to the circumstances, I revisited Star Trek TNG, watched it back in the day. There is an episode which is related. Captain Picard is taken prisoner, by an elaborate trap of the Cardassians. He is interrogated, tortured. He soon finds out the officer doesn’t want any information, he wants to break him. Under torture, he is supposed to state what he is told, not what he sees, it’s simply about the number of lights over the officers desk. Last minute he is released, back on board of the Enterprise he confesses he saw the number of lights suggested in the end.
PS – These days are a controlled demolition, like 2001, science, medicine, the media, finances, the left, history, etc.
