CIA & Operation Gladio | The Game (1997) Decode | When Hollywood Directs PSYOP/Gaslighting Campaigns

Have you ever seen that Ted Talk with Jonna Mendez, the wife of Tony Mendez…both of whom were in the CIA? She usually tells a story, nearly every time, about the CIA’s partnership with Hollywood to perfect fooling people using the tricks of the trade in filmmaking.

Who are these Mendez folks? Former CIA known mostly through Tony’s treatment from Ben Affleck in the form of ARGO (2012), a film about Tony infiltrating Iran by pretending to be a filmmaking crew wanting to film a sci-fi film there named Argo. They used it to rescue people from the Canadian Embassy.

Since Tony passed on, Jonna has been writing books and touring, doing speaking engagements, often boasting of the CIA”s use of Hollywood to stage events, trick people, fool governments, but mostly, we know, or should know by now…they mostly have weaponized these techniques on the American population. We are their guinea pigs. We get fake journalists, almost entirely. There is almost no one of serious relevance who is not controlled by them or some corporate entity who holds parallel interests to them. We are the ones they need to fool…moreover, they need to trick the rest of the world into thinking we are something we are not to achieve their long-term goals. Another topic for another time…for now, let’s talk about films like Argo, David Fincher’s “The Game”, which I’ll be watching ‘with’ you and decoding as we go. If you’ve never seen this film, you are in for quite a surprise. It looked innocuous enough sitting there on the video shelf for years back in the 90s. I think not enough people really understood the intensity of the experience that hid behind the humble cover of Fincher’s “The Game”. Those who’ve seen it, probably feel similarly to the characters who ‘just know’ in the film…you just need to experience it, know it, see it.

Why?

There are series of films that help people understand industrial gaslighting and Psychological Warfare techniques. The Game is definitely one of them. David Mamet’s “The Spanish Prisoner” is another that we’ll be delving into soon. They are guidebooks for understanding & even ‘surviving’ industrial gaslighting. They feel tangible & real unlike the surreal quality of something like The Truman Show which covers a similar territory. When a large group is operating behind the scenes to change the perception of one or more individuals unbeknownst to them…The Truman Show. But The Game is much deeper. Consider that it was filmed in 1997 when certain technology advances had not been made yet. Today, with what is available, online even, we could do many of these ‘tricks’ that the Douglas character experiences as ‘technical gaslighting, to one another. Meaning, back then, we’d get freaked out because we didn’t know what was technically possible yet…this was nearly 30 years ago. When you understand that it was ‘offering’ something as much as it’s disclosure, the purpose behind Hollywood, aside from cinemas & videos being filled with their offerings…has been for a very long time to change the hearts and minds of Americans.

In WW2 American’s would go to movie theaters for entertainment & be treated to news reels that fed them a narrative to accept. It was broadly distributed. It was how hearts and minds were won…but as technology advances & studios expand their purpose beyond simple ‘feel good propaganda’ and into the Mendez world of Argo-style spycraft…all bets are off.

We are in that era now. The Game is an important film to understand…and honestly, it’s pretty entertaining. Fincher is a talented director and the pacing of the film is intense.

I’ll add some supporting videos to the discussion but this will be mostly about showing this audience The Game for future reference. I often discuss its relevance but I don’t know how many of my viewers have watched it lately if at all & it’s important to understand it & how it has parallels to reality.

Thanks for you watching. Please consider contributing to this channel. I do this solely on viewer support. No sponsors. No advertising.
