The "mind-controlling programming stuff" isn't speculation. It's a fact and it's happening. It's been happening. I gave my interpretation of the film before finding that article. It's a relief that someone else is wide awake to the disgusting agenda being flaunted right in front of our face.
I understand your view of things though. No one would automatically see the mind-control going on and all of the symbols unless you started becoming spiritual and notice the signs more and more. Harvey Weinstein isn't even the biggest reason my views are confirmed. The demonic symbolism and mind-control is everywhere. I'm now making it a game of pointing it out and at least trying to enlighten others along the way.
The all seeing "Eye Of Horus" is constantly revealed by celebrities. It's major evidence of mind-control going on. They're bold to put it out there in plain sight because people are not paying attention. It's openly showing worship of Lucifer. It's not a coincidence all these images depict the same thing:
Have you seen Eyes Wide Shut? I still haven't yet, but I'm interested now. I didn't even know Stanley Kubrick was dead! I've never followed his films, but others say he was clearly showing what's going on in the secret society and their satanic rituals. What's really creepy and concerning to me is he died right after making Eyes Wide Shut. He died within the same year the movie came out. I wouldn't be surprised if he was taken out because he revealed too much.
Tom Cruise's character is oblivious to what is really going on around him, just like many people are now.
