INDEPENDENCE DAY’S SEQUEL: A VERY WEIRD WAY TO PROMOTE A ...
Now this one is so bizarre I simply have to blog about it, for it was brought to my attention by one of the members of this website in our most recent members' vidchat, call him Mr. C.G. What's it about? Well, you may or may not have heard that there is a sequel in the works right now to the 1990s blockbuster movie Independence Day. You may remember that one: big alien saucers are launched by a gigantic extra-terrestrial mothership, and these saucers park themselves over the world's major cities and capitals, where they hover ominously for a few hours, while the President of the United States and his staff attempt to communicate with the aliens, and movie hero Jeff Goldblum figures out that the Earth's satellites have been penetrated and are being used by the alien fleet to coordinate a countdown.
All hopes that "they come in peace" evaporate when the countdown ends, and the massive saucers power-up gigantic "plasma cannon" and proceed to vaporize skyscrapers like the Empire State building, which somehow fuels the plasmas, which roll through the world's cities and cause massive destruction. As the saucer parked above the White House in Washington DC powers up its plasma cannon, the President and his staff are quickly evacuated, making their way eventually to Area 51 as the aliens blast the White House and level Washington DC (you may recall that at the time, this scene received wild applause in American theaters). At Area 51, the President is shown a recovered body and craft from the aliens that was captured decades previously, and Will Smith, the other hero of the movie, shows up, dragging a live alien behind him, having captured him(or her, or it, we never know for sure) behind him. This alien, in response to the President's questioning him(or her, or it) as to what the aliens want humanity to do, simply says "Die."
Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum use the satellite networks to plant a virus in the alien mothership and fly the recovered alien craft into it, and detonate a thermonuclear bomb inside it, blowing it(and the alien invasion fleet) up, and this causes the shields in all the gigantic saucer craft hovering over the world's cities and blasting them apart with their plasma cannon to fail, and human aircraft all over the world begin to successfully shoot down the saucers.
Invasion repelled, aliens defeated, happy ending.
Right?
Wrong.
The premise of the sequel to Independence Day is based, of course, on some very upset aliens returning twenty years later to wreak their revenge, and to finish the job of wiping out humanity and invading Earth and claiming it for themselves that they began two decades previously. In the meantime, of course, Earth has built up its defenses (doubtless using the usual "reverse engineering" theme, we humans being too dumb to do anything really creative without ET crashing stuff on our planet for us to reverse engineer.)
Now, in this light, ponder the following commercial on YouTube, which seems to be an obvious reference to the two Independence Day movies:
Now, you'll note that the video has underneath the video frame on YouTube the logo of the U.S. Army, plus a link to its website, "GOARMY.COM". Traveling to that website, and searching for "ESD Dad" reveals no search results.
But wait, there's more. On the YouTube posting you'll note the statement: " Visit JoinESD.com today to challenge your problem-solving skills, view exclusive content from the film Independence Day: Resurgence and find out if you have what it takes to defend the Earth." So, going to that link, and one again finds the US Army logo on the bottom left of the screen, with a clickable link.
So, you tell me, what's going on here? Well, for one thing, apparently there's some sort of "deal" possibly between the new movie and its marketing experts - and one has to admit, the marketing seems to be very good - and the US Army, which on its own website isn't saying anything about the weird "commercial" nor about the movie. But beyond this, nothing. It does raise all sorts of high octane speculation in my mind, and I suspect it does the same for you as well, and I suspect the implications and speculations running through your mind are more or less the same as mine: is this, for example, a tacit way of admitting that something like the Independence Day scenarios are at work, or, alternatively, looming, and this is the way to "prepare" people for it?
Well, I frankly don't know. But I do find this whole preculiar association bizarre to say the least, and even more so in the light of tomorrow's blog.
See you on the flip side...

More and more it appears that the escalating threats to Russia by NATO and the US Hegemon may be backed up not by the conventional military we see dilapidating itself day by day but by the blacked out stuff we glimpse flying around in the sky that is very advanced. There is a confidence in the provocation that smells of a whole ‘nuther theater of military operations in which the US thinks itself to be indomitable. As a partial cover story of course the intelligence apparatus has always floated the story that it’s all ET, and that will no doubt be continued as a cover in the theater of war to some extent.
Here’s what struck me about this. The soldier this dad is saying is a born leader is a woman. Anyone else note that there have been rumors lately that the Pentagon is preparing to have women register for the draft? This could be a PR campaign to blunt some of the anticipated resistance.
does the idf require israeli women to register?
Ok, I’m embarrassed to admit this; this same commercial was on t.v. a few days ago, I wasn’t really paying attention and it took my brain a minute to process that it wasn’t true.
I expect the official gov’t announcement of extraterrestrials within a few years. I just wonder if it will be a soft disclosure – they found a crashed space ship in the melting glaciers. Or panic and chaos, we are being attacked. The social engineering of the past 20 years has the cattle corralled and ready for slaughter.
Yet another Hollywood memorial to H. G. Wells and War of the Worlds? My son is reading that now to prepare for the movie’s release, whereas my best friend and I are eager to review for totally different reasons. During the inevitable post-movie review both von Braun and Wells will play a significant part in the conversation. I was amazed at what we found in Prometheus.
heard that wells was financed as psyop research for how humanity reacts to such stressors? and that the research for it is still ongoing?
I seriously don’t care of the alien invasion and wipe out all the human blah blah blah. We have been created as their salves for so long, if the so call alien wants to wipe us out they would have done it long time ago, so the alien wants to wait until the earthling and their ruling class have good enough high tech and weaponry to fight them? Give me a break LOL
They just want us to be on their side (the break away civilization side), just like when those Phaethon of gods Ea and Enli etc fighting each other, because the people of the city stand on their god’s side, therefore the city blasted into dust with it is citizen in it, woman or child, what happen to the city god? OHHH they made it out ok, but his/her follower/devotee were all dead, nice god aye ~.^
I will not choose side, basically I don’t care about their family fight, just leave me in peace I’m happy ^.^

Well spotted. First thought after reading Dr. Farrell’s Blogg, this film is recruitment propaganda for the US military. It worked for the Navy with Top Gun. I guess this time, instead of fighter pilots they need Space Cadets. The alien invasion scenario works well with your high octane speculation ,whether it be Wernher von Braun’s fake invasion or the real deal. Also the general growing and manufactured fear factor. Although who would want to take over a planet where even the sea water is Radioactive (thanks nuclear engineers) and filled with plastic and people are dying from the weather.
take a look at area around chernobyl and consider george carlin. the earth is not going away anytime soon. some (if not all) people are.
what we all seem dancing around here is who and how that decision’s getting made
More brainwashing to get the sheeple prepared for project bluebeam , the fake alien invasion, I do not believe there are aliens as a matter of fact the king of mockery Werner Von Braun himself still mocks people even in death, look up what is written on his tombstone and keep in mind he’s a rocket guy lol , you can’t make this stuff up people
Very strange indeed. The old recruitment videos were square-jawed, barrel-chested men jumping out of aircraft to raucous rock music from the band Godsmack. Now, one of those barrel-chested men is retired and sitting in his workshop, tinkering with an old lamp and talking about passing the torch to his daughter. The military has realized it’s got to lose that blood ‘n’ guts image, and has hired Hollywood to fix it’s PR, and they need this desperately to appeal to the more highly educated and technically-minded. They’ve struggled to recruit the competent, reliable volunteers that it once had in abundance. A great number of the youngest generation has been dumbed down by failing schools, fattened by TV and video games, drugged out and locked up by our utterly virtue-less pop culture, and demoralized by decades of false flags, lies, and imperialist “police actions”. Gee, who would have thought that dumbing down the population would have made it dumb? It’s getting harder and harder for the PTB to get people to kill themselves doing their dirty work for them, and at a time when they may need them the most. Cue in this new age of entertainment news, scripted “reality” TV, Michelle Obama at the Oscars legitimizing the Zero Dark Thirty false-narrative, and Obama’s “moderate rebels” and the role of the military and US foreign policy becomes even more muddled. Things are getting sloppy and Hollywood’s suspension of disbelief has to save the day. But is this not the same Hollywood that so vehemently protested the Iraq war? It must be serious this time as the US military has gone from avenging 9/11 to saving the entire world. Could this be a sign of things to come? It would certainly fit Carol Rosin’s template.
I figure all of this “coming disclosure” bit in all of its many forms is just slowly but surely prepping the sheeple for “Project Bluebeam” (the faked alien invasion Wernher von Braun warned us about that will be presented with advanced holographic projection technologies which include the aural as well as the olfactory senses- all of this a satellite technology which has supposedly been around for quite some time)-
I wouldn’t doubt for a second there’s a threatening alien presence out there (are we to believe all sentient beings in the universe are as’nice’ as we are- I hope you caught the sarcasm in the statement ‘as nice as we are’)-
in an impish way I sort of hope Project Bluebeam happens; if so I will stand on my balcony and watch all of the sheeple run around in an absolute panic on the streets while I sip a good cold German beer-
stay well all-
Larry in Germany
If you see a lot of military equipment and personel in the movie then it is probably just how Hollywood returns the favor of having the militaries help with the movie. It’s a win, win for both parties and likely doesn’t mean anything special. But the deep state does control all media including fictional and seems to require certain memes in all them to get funding and access to large swath’s of potential customers. I used to read lots of fantasy and syfy novels until they corrupted these geneures with their destructive sexual memes. I believe in self determination and random selection and not in being programmed. Unfortunately most of the human race are no longer homo sapiens but have been turned into trainable domesticated monkeys.
way more coordinated and universal than you supposed roger
I mean it’s one thing for the army to join forces with Hollywood to promote a movie about aliens, but it’s another thing entirely for them to do so and not disclose that’s what they are doing. So we have generals talking about little green men and the army recruiting for the Earth Space Defense Force. I’m convinced big things are coming down the pipe.
Even Disney is pushing the meme with their Marvel movies. I mean just look at this exchange between the newly teamed up, former Russian spy and Captain America with the AI incarnated Nazi scientist. Hmm Project INSIGHT sounds PROMISing.
[Rogers and Romanoff have booted up an old computer in an abandoned WWII S.H.I.E.L.D base for information… and discover that the computer AI is Dr. Arnim Zola’s preserved consciousness]
Steve: How did you get here?
Dr. Arnim Zola: Invited.
Natasha: It was Operation Paperclip after World War II. S.H.I.E.L.D recruited German scientists with strategic values.
Zola: They thought I could help their cause. I also helped my own.
Steve: HYDRA died with the Red Skull.
Zola: Cut off one head, two more shall take its place.
Steve: Prove it.
Zola: Accessing archive. [The computer screen shows them old footage of the Red Skull and the original S.H.I.E.L.D founders] HYDRA was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. What we did not realize was that if you try to take that freedom, they resist. The war taught us much. Humanity needed to surrender its freedom willingly. After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D was founded and I was recruited. The new HYDRA grew. A beautiful parasite inside S.H.I.E.L.D. For seventy years, HYDRA has been secretly feeding crisis, reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed. [The computer screen shows field reports with photos of the Winter Soldier, carrying out top-level assassinations for HYDRA]
Natasha: That’s impossible, S.H.I.E.L.D would have stopped you.
Zola: Accidents will happen. [The computer screen shows them HYDRA had killed Howard and Maria Stark making it look like a car accident, along with the recent death of Fury] HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Once the purification process is complete, HYDRA’s new world order will arise. We won, Captain. Your death amounts to the same as your Life; a zero sum. [In anger Steve suddenly smashes the computer screen. Zola’s face reappears on another] As I was saying…
Steve: What’s on this drive?
Zola: Project Insight requires insight. So I wrote an algorithm.
Natasha: What kind of algorithm? What does it do?
Zola: The answer to your question is fascinating. Unfortunately, you shall be too dead to hear it. [bunker door starts to close; Steve throws his shield to keep it open, but it bounces off and the door closes]
Cinema is an excellent way for some to gloat over their victories as well as to seed the minds of viewers with information analogues so that when real truth is revealed the minds of the masses will already be conditioned to receive such an idea without the sort of violent emotional response that would attend a dark revelation of a complete unknown. So when the powers are unmasked, the people will simply shrug.
Quotes were from “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” released by Marvel Entertainment in 2014.
In 2009, The Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel Entertainment, Marvel Worldwide’s parent company.
Also, Lucasfilm was sold to The Walt Disney Company in 2012.
Do we see a pattern here?
Blatant recruitment propaganda from Hollyweird for the US military? I’m shocked, shocked I say.
So let’s brainwash another generation with movies and TV to get them to grow up thinking “serving your country” means killing and being killed on the orders of large corporations who own the government.
Smedley Butler was right. War Is A Racket.
Einstein was also right. The pioneers of a warless world are the young men refuse military service.
This bot has been politicized!

Comment referenced current ongoing invasive force in Greece.
It’s financial warfare destroying the birth of democracy.
http://therealnews.com/t2/
The real enemy taking over Earth is presently taking over Greece is a new REAL war.
Only it’s being done; not with bullets and bombs, but with financial instruments.
3 Card Monte. Look under the shell containing what once was the birth of democracy; and you’ll find your invasive force in-action,
as we speak!
tony zinni was likely the first guy i heard say economics is the first weapon of war
Sometime ago Hollywood studio execs were considering giving the green light on Clancy’s Debt of Honor. Problem was the climatic scene where Congress is bombed with members in attendance. They believed the audience would be standing up & cheering!
Switch to defending Planet Earth.
New bad guy that’s out of this world bad.
Anyone remember the reboot of V I have thought what if the producers-writers had thought out of box. And had used the series to explore the idea that certain ethnic-racial groups might be willing to collaborate with the invaders for their own ends. Fleeing their oppressors and avenging themselves at the same time on their oppressors using the invaders as tools to that end. Do TPTB fear such a scenario coming true do to their behavior over the centuries.
marcos, you never considered before that this might be exactly what’s been happening for centuries if not millenia?
A lot of these scenarios look very tentative and trial-balloonish as they should be be because any sort of global stagecraft is so ungainly as to be fraught with peril for the “producers.” Look at how the 9/11 false flag got so thoroughly busted.
On the most obvious level these scripts are meant to “capture the imagination” of potential new young military recruits, but they also expose the essentially sophomoric mind-set of the American military machine. Boys with toys too big for them to be handling.
it got not busted just enough apparently
maybe they intend to capture the sophmores with scams so obvious the juniors and seniors will blame the sophmores for their stupidity instead of the scam artists for their hostility.
Well if the rinse and repeat meme works, why not.
The Tom Delonge theme of disclosement is that not a near repeat once many years back offered thru Linda Moulton Howe?
I rather translate my “hero” needs thru a video game, less hassle and more save. It is sad adults make the world of children so horrible by letting them do everything but childsplay. Once adults, when they need it the most to relieve certain needs, they don’t know how.
It has been alleged nothing will happen to Hollywood(earthquake, etc.). Becuz, it’s the entrainment arm of the MIC. Iron Sky, Independence Day have the Van Braun warning final act of Aliens, after Terrorists and Asteroids. The Break Aways are operating on a whole new level. Where the Python benefits “Of Not Being Seen” have been taken to the extreme. Anyone who does get too close, either informationally or technology wise, is dealt with in short order. I’m suprised Gary McKenna is still alive. It appears change is upon us and the PTB is terrified of just how it’s going to roll out. Hence, the extra heavy helpings of entrainment..
And right on the heels of “Army Chief of Staff warns of “hybrid armies” and “little green men”.
