Great stuff on the future that's being prepared for us in these types of movies, movies that include curent technology and some that's not far away, if it's not here already...

Joss Whedon’s follow-up to
The Avengers,
Avengers: Age of Ultron,
is setting new box office records for Marvel, and has roughly the same
degree of critical response as the first. A few days ago,
I analyzed the first in anticipation for the follow-up that premiered in the U.S. this weekend,
noting the A.I. takeover plot, and the sequel was even more
esoterically themed and blatant in its presentation. Hollywood is
making it difficult for me not to write the same A.I. analysis over and
over, but some new ground is tread here to investigate in the midst of
the same pattern we’ve been witnessing of late, the extinction of man
through mass depopulation and his subjugation and/or replacement with an
A.I. control grid.
In Age of Utron, the Avengers team discovers genetic experimentation
is still ongoing at a secret Hydra facility in Eastern Europe. Black
Widow (Scarlett Johansson) explicitly references
the U.S. and Nazi experimentation on humans and their importation into Allied nations following the War. Recalling part one and
Captain America: Winter Soldier,
we are reminded that Hydra is the secret cabal that is running
S.H.I.E.L.D. and NATO, much like the Bilderberg Group in our world.
Comprised of former
S.S. like Prince Bernhard and corporate executives like
Peter Thiel who openly advocates for transhumanism and
mass micro-chipping, the fictional presentation of Hydra is spot on.
As a result of the human experimentation and genetic manipulation,
Hydra has produced two new genetically-modified villains, the Twins, one
of which is a babe with mind control abilities and some kind of
explosive red glitz, and her brother, a Slavic Flash named Pietro.
Using her mind control techniques (as a product of mind control
herself), Wanda Maximoff implants visions of the team’s darkest fears
into each Avenger with the intention of dividing our heroes. It is
worth noting that Eastern Europe is actually
the locale of numerous CIA “black sites” and mind control operations, dating back to World War II and through the Cold War. See my audio summary here for more information on this:
The MKULTRA/mind control is a common staple of Whedon’s science fiction
works, from River Tam in Firefly to Hawkeye in Avengers and now Natasha
Romanoff, too. Romanoff we learn was an orphaned girl who was raised in
Soviet Russia in a secret program to create programmed assassins out of
young girls. In the deep research I’ve done on various mind control
programs over the last century, all of these elements are very real,
with both Allied and Axis powers engaging in programs of a similar
nature. While it may seem unconnected, there is in fact a crucial link
between A.I. research and the classic mind control programs, as MKULTRA
morphed into MKSEARCH, which dealt with implantable chips and electronic
control of motor functions.
