"The Passion of the Christ" directed by Mel Gibson; written by Benedict Fitzgerald and Gibson; director of photography, Caleb Deschanel; produced by Gibson, Bruce Davey and Stephen McEveety. Released by Icon Productions and Newmarket Films. In Aramaic and Latin, with English subtitles. Running time: 120 minutes. Rated R.
 
We live in the age of Judaic supremacy. In such an age Judaics cry "Holocaust!" when they stub their toe on a fire hydrant and Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" is that fire-hydrant.
 
The Zionists of our time are accustomed to calling the shots -- in the White House, the European Union, the Vatican, in American finance and education. The silver screen has been their bailiwick since the original gentile inventors and pioneers like Thomas Edison and D.W. Griffith were elbowed out of the way by quondam glove merchants, furriers and sons of ragmen such as Louis B. Mayer, Samuel Goldwyn and Kirk Douglas. Years ago this sorry fact was denied, but in our Age of Judaic Supremacy the moguls can afford to celebrate their dominion with a certain amount of public gloating.
 
The gang, the crowd, the cartel, the crime syndicate--call them what you will--are accustomed to having the goyim work in the motion picture industry at their sufferance. Into that totalitarian fiefdom enters Mel Gibson, seeking to expiate on screen for various sins he feels he has committed in the past. He chooses for his expiation a movie about Jesus Christ's trial, torment and execution. By so doing, he trespasses on the sole proprietorship of the high caste that predetermines how Christ, Pilate and Caiaphas will be portrayed in the approved manner.
 
Because Gibson shows, for a few on-screen moments, the villainy of the Chief Priest Caiaphas, and the existential angst of Pilate, "The Passion of the Christ" has been adduced as only slightly less bigoted than the Nazi movie, "Ewige Jude." The goyim see the smoke of this customary Judaic hyperbole and assume that Gibson has lit some kind of fire that illuminates the Gospel Truth about Jesus.
 
Would that it were so. The fact is, there are only three incentives for seeing this movie: 1. Watching Pilate rehabilitated and restored to his rightful New Testament role as a ruler who sought to avoid Christ's execution. 2. Witnessing for a few moments the rare sight of the chief priests depicted as vengeful and reprehensible. 3. To satisfy one's curiosity concerning the hoopla and hype surrounding the movie. With regard to the first two incentives, these scenes represent approximately ten or fifteen minutes of footage out of a total of 120 minutes.
 
Political Correctness
 
Even Gibson's portrayal of the Sadducees and Pharisees is not without compromises with political correctness. Caiaphas and his priestly entourage, for example, are shown as saddened by the scenes of Jesus' torture by laughing Roman soldiers. The leaders of the Jews take no pleasure in Christ's torment, unlike the Roman soldiers.
 
One of the most egregious betrayals in the film is when Christ, from the Cross, is shown asking for forgiveness for his Judaic tormentors, "because they know not what they do." But this forgiveness can only pertain to the Romans, since only they were ignorant of the spiritual contests of the Jews. But Gibson makes it patent that Jesus is beseeching God's forgiveness for Caiaphas as well, in spite of Christ saying to Pilate, speaking of Caiaphas,"He that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin" (John 19: 10-11).
 
But if Caiaphas did not know what he was doing, as Gibson implies, and Caiaphas was ignorant of the fact that Jesus was the Messiah, how then did Caiaphas transgress by demanding Jesus' death? If the high priests didn't know what they were doing and truly believed Christ to be an impostor, then they were only being faithful to the law of God in requiring that He be put to death, and thus, the founders of Judaism are vindicated. We observe Gibson's confection of a new theology, which he expanded in his conversation with Diane Sawyer on national television, with the unscriptural proposition that "we're-all-equally-guilty."
 
Jesus had said of the high priests, the Pharisees and Sadducees, that they were the murderers of the prophets and responsible for the spilling of all the righteous blood since Abel, and were damned to hell: "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zechariah son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar." (Matthew 23:33-35).
 
In I Thessalonians 2: 14-15, Paul decreed they were deicides, "contrary to all men" and "under wrath." How are they then forgiven on the basis of "not knowing what they do"? Why does Gibson seek to conflate the chief priests with the Romans and absolve them all, when Jesus did not?
 
When Gibson first came under fire from Zionists, he shot a new scene and inserted it into the movie, a scene of Jesus preaching forgiveness for one's enemies. Gibson has stated in interviews that he did this so that viewers would understand that Jesus was advising forgiveness for the Pharisees and chief priests, but there is no Biblical warrant for this novel interpretation. Jesus clearly stated that the Pharisees and Sadducees were "the children of hell." How could my forgiveness or your forgiveness spare them from their fate? Jesus was preaching to us about forgiving our own enemies, those who steal our merchandise or punch us in the nose. To extrapolate an authority or mandate for humans to forgive God's enemies is an imposture.
 
As part of his political correctness, Gibson sought to imply that Jesus was requesting that we forgive His sworn ideological foes who, after His death, committed the heinous oral "traditions of the elders" to writing, and founded the antichrist religion of Judaism. They should be forgiven for this? Who among us may usurp the role of God and forgive these counterfeiters of the religion of Israel? This is bogus and reveals the extent of either Gibson's woeful theological confusion, or his futile attempt to appease the commissars of Hollywood.
 
Political correctness comes to the fore again when the crowd of Jews screams "Crucify him!" Well, I surmised that's what they were screaming, because Gibson did not allow subtitles for that historic, spine-tingling scene from the New Testament. The Jews scream in Aramaic and we must guess what it is they are saying. A monumental icon of the Passion story is thereby vitiated.
 
Another politically correct Gibson vignette has one of the Roman soldiers swear contemptuously at Simon, the man who helped Jesus carry His Cross, "Come, you Jew!" Obviously the Roman soldier was intended as a stand-in for a German SS trooper, and Simon was substituting for some Khazar in the Warsaw ghetto, the intent being to "combat anti-Semitism." Gibson confirmed the intent of this scene in an interview with Bill O'Reilly of the Fox TV channel (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,112436,00.html). In that interview he also nullified the good he had done in portraying Pilate fairly in his movie, by telling O'Reilly that Pilate was "a monster."
 
Almost all of the Israelites in the movie are either played by Italian actors who look like Khazars or by actual Khazars. Peter has a big nose and Mary, the Mother of Christ, the subject of so many portraits of tender pulchritude by the Renaissance painters of serenity and light, resembles a gypsy fortune-teller. Obviously Gibson imagines that today's Khazars, who run around calling themselves "Jews" are genetically the same nation that peopled Jerusalem 2,000 years ago. I don't think so. Gibson is not afraid to have the devil personified by a Nordic-looking woman, however, there being no powerful Nordic Anti-Defamation League to mollify.
 
"The Passion of the Christ" starts with Christ's agony in the garden. Here Gibson portrays Jesus as a blubbering, effeminate cry-baby, exhibiting no manly characteristics until the very end of the scene, when he stomps on a demonic snake.
 
With a couple of exceptions, actor Jim Caviezel is not convincing in the role of Christ. He lacks the authority, the presence, the inherent spirit. When he speaks to Caiaphas or Pilate he seems like a weak, perhaps demented man who is without a spark of command or divinity about him.
 
The Process Advances: Gorefest of the Defeated Jesus
 
The violence in the movie is dehumanizing. It is not opposed to, but part of, the hyper-violence of the modern media. As part of the alchemical processing of humanity by the Cryptocracy, the entertainment industry has become ever more violent. Each successive film must surpass the previous entry in terms of gore and bloodshed, or risk leaving the insatiable audience drowsy and distracted. For this reason, Gibson has to out-Herod Herod and blast us out of our seats with an unprecedented level of bloodshed. This movie is a veritable blood freakout. Western Europeans have typically not obsessed about blood, but blood is known to be a documented fascination for Talmudic Judaics and those spiritualized Judaics who wear the habiliments of gentiles.
 
In the 1940s and 50s, the highest cinematic artistry consisted in the suggestion of violence, not its actual full-fledged realization, and there lies the authentic artistic norm of western civilization. Gibson's movie violates those norms. There is nothing traditional about "The Passion of the Christ." It is revolutionary cinema; Antonin Artaud would have recognized it as the "theater of cruelty." Gibson's flick would have been condemned as strictly infra dig fifty years ago.
 
"The Passion of the Christ" does not represent a restoration of a hallowed vision or a return to a venerated tradition, but rather a revolutionary departure from the cinematic canon of John Ford, the early Alfred Hitchcock and Elia Kazan. Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" is the next stage in the devolutionary process from Videodrome to Matrix to Kill Bill. It exhibits a morbid sado-masochist obsession that borders on psychosis.
 
Appeal to Satanists
 
The movie quotes from Isaiah 53:5: "By His wounds we are healed." But this film is a negation of that prophecy, since the wounds of Christ are never allowed to heal. The victorious Christianity of Vivaldi and Bach, Raphael and Da Vinci, is nowhere to be seen. Instead, we are shown a relentless series of images of a defeated Christ. I can envision "The Passion of the Christ" being shown at Satanic get-togethers where for an hour or more, the diabolists cheer and giggle at scene after scene of the relentless beating, whipping and torture of Christ.
 
Indeed, in Stanley Kubrick's 1971 movie, "A Clockwork Orange," the anti-hero, Alex, a rapist and murderer, fantasizes that he is a grinning Roman soldier deriving ecstasy from flogging Jesus. Kubrick's footage of these cruel fantasy sequences, wallowing in technicolor sadism directed at the person of Jesus, were the only footage of this type extant, until Gibson's film debuted.
 
As part of its Jesus-on-steroids ambiance, the movie relies heavily on melodramatic, Exorcist-like music, computer-generated sound effects and slow motion camera work, which gives "The Passion of the Christ," a feverish, psychedelic quality that detracts from, rather than enhances, our lucidity.
 
On the rare occasion when Gibson departs from this digital overkill to show us the Last Supper and the Sermon on the Mount, crafting the peace and stillness of a divine milieu, Caviezel does appear Christ-like, does seem to possess a certain authority and the scenes work beautifully, with cinematographer Caleb Deschanel coming close to his aim of imitating the painterly quality of a Carvaggio portrait. But if you blink you'll miss these fleeting moments of authentic hagiography and insight into the nature of the Christ. We are all-too soon whisked back to the ponderously telegraphed, digitally enhanced abattoir.
 
"Dangers of anti-Semitism"
 
"Dangers of anti-Semitism" as a result of this film? How so, when nearly everyone in it is shown to be equally culpable, with only the Nordic Romans and the Nordic Satan serving as the standout paradigm of evil. Moreover, I know of no movie critic, no Catholic bishop, no Protestant TV preacher who ever worked themselves into a lather over the possibility that one of the hundreds of "Holocaust" movies that have been churned out over the last four decades would result in persecution and hate being directed at Germans. In the case of the Germans and the "Holocaust" movies that denigrate them, it is always a matter of, "Too bad if the truth hurts."
 
I don't sucker in for any special pleading for the Zionists on this count. They should learn to take their lumps like everyone else. They've dished it out to the Arabs and the Germans on TV and in movies for years with shameless impunity, and hardly anyone in the Establishment has ever raised a whimper of protest.
 
The racket about Gibson's movie is just the usual Judaic paranoia over the slightest deviation from their anti-Pilate, anti-Christ dogma; part and parcel of their religious fanatic mentality. If in the weeks and months ahead we learn that Gibson has been boycotted by Hollywood, or attacked by some other means, it will not be due to the fact that he is a genuine enemy of Judaism or Zionism. Indeed, the gentile shills for those murderous ideologies, from Pat Robertson to Cal Thomas, are full of praise for Mel and his movie.
 
Rather, if Gibson is targeted, he will be targeted because the least deviation from the Judaic party line cannot be tolerated, and must be publicly punished as a warning to other, perhaps far more daring, would-be rebels and dissenters. Gibson is not an enemy of Churchianity or the Vatican. He shares their reductionist, universalist theology. But he has exhibited an iota of independence in his portrayals of Caiaphas and Pilate, and even this tiny bit of autonomy is a stone in the shoe of such Hollywoodberg capos as Jeffrey Katenzenberg and Stephen Spielberg.
 
But for us to become embroiled in rivalries between two wings of the same dialectical synthesis, is a waste of time and energy. It causes us to derogate substance and elevate tinsel, to mistake the chimera for the cause.
 
The fact is, we've been had. "The Passion of the Christ" is an over-rated, politically-correct bore (unless gore is your bag). Gibson must be one seriously troubled soul to have made this mess. His movie will appeal to Biblically-illiterate "Christians," the Marquis de Sade set, and to the staff and management of Icon productions, who will realize a handsome return on their investment.
 
Witnessing this gorefest's immense popularity among the churched, I can only wonder at the degraded state of Christendom in 2004.
