We are going to take another venture into the past and look at how politics, greed and power was the cause of destroying pagan societies, accusing them as witches. We will of course draw comparison to current political situations. So if you're cemented into a belief and you want to see paganism as demons, this might not be the show for you. You might find it's your own system that is the monster.

When The Exorcist hit theaters in 1973, it wasn’t just a horror film — it was a cultural earthquake. People fainted in the aisles, theaters handed out barf bags, and headlines declared the movie “too terrifying” for the public. But behind the shock and fear lies a deeper question: was this just a movie… or was it a form of mass mind control? In this stream, we’ll break down how The Exorcist used sound frequencies, subliminal imagery, religious archetypes, and primal fear to penetrate the psyche of audiences worldwide. We’ll explore: 🎥 How cinema can bypass rational thought and tap directly into the subconscious⛪ Why Catholic ritual and demonic possession imagery had such hypnotic cultural power in the 1970s🧠 The techniques of fear-conditioning and mass hysteria that mirror psychological operations📖 Was the writer, William Peter Blatty in with MKUltra? Plus we discuss Rosemary's Baby, Satanic worship idol found at Sandy Hook area.
