World War Z: Emergency Preparedness, United Nations, and Predictive Programming

Guest Post: Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

As summer heats up, so does the Hollywood box office. With so many remakes and sequels being made, it seems that no original plot can be written in Hollywood these days. World War Z is no exception; it is based on the zombie-apocalypse book of the same title by Max Brooks.

And like most blockbuster “disaster movies”, World War Z offers viewers a tightly tailored agenda as to who they should look to for guidance and safety during disasters.  This is typical of end-of-the-world entertainment and a key component of predictive programming, as we saw in Contagion, Children of Men, Outbreak, and many others.

The World Health Organization (WHO), FEMA, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are typically glorified as saviors, even though local populations are often decimated or under strict control of local authoritarians.

World War Z capitalizes on a loosely defined “zombie outbreak” that is sweeping the planet at a ferocious speed with the main star, Brad Pitt, portraying a former United Nations investigator. Coupled with the United States Navy, the reluctant hero Pitt goes from retired house-husband to full-blown, globe-trotting diplomat within a few hours.

The film uses the zombie outbreak as a means to sensationalize the pandemic and ensuing global martial law; viewers begin to equate such tactics with worst-case scenarios, and if global catastrophe were to ever happen, the consumer-herd will go along with whatever authoritarian plan is demanded, like good little sheep, awaiting their heroes at the United Nations, FEMA, and the World Health Organization to save the day.

Desensitizing Us to Immeasurable Violence

While the sheer number of humans portrayed as “infected” seems unprecedented compared to most zombie-style flicks, World War Z finds a strange balance between the indiscriminate killing of tens of thousands of our fellow humans and in not filling the screen with blood and gore.

There are multiple scenes, such as the one depicted here, in which thousands are killed, desensitizing the viewer to large-scale violence, and yet, I must point out that there is a distinct lack of carnage and torn, bleeding flesh, which is very surprising for Hollywood. Throughout the various scenes of immeasurable violence, the viewer is never quite exposed to seeing the actual deaths of so many – instead, it is implied, and understood, somewhere in our minds, that dozens of men, women, and children were just shot to death.

I’m not sure which is worse – the depiction of a grotesquely infected “zombie” being slashed with a large meat cleaver, spewing zombie blood everywhere, or the ultra-realistic, albeit somewhat blurred and distant masses of teachers, construction workers, children, and housewives being shot by men in various uniforms.

Predictive programming is a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media in order to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to be implemented by those in power. If, and when, these changes are put through, the public will already be familiarized with [the concept] and will accept them as ‘natural progressions’; thus, lessening any possible public resistance and commotion. Predictive programming, therefore, may be considered as a veiled form of preemptive mass manipulation or mind control, courtesy of our puppet masters. – Alan Watt
