From the film V For Vendetta:
Finch: I want to ask a question, Dominic. I don’t care if you answer me or not. I just want to say this aloud... The question I want to ask is about St Mary’s and Three Waters. The question that’s kept me up for the last 24 hours, the question I have to ask, is: What if the worst, the most horrifying, biological attack in this country’s history was not the work of religious extremists?
Dominic: Well, I don't understand. We know it was. They were caught. They confessed.
Finch: And they were executed, I know. And maybe that’s really what happened. But I see this chain of events, these coincidences... and I have to ask: What if that isn’t what happened? What if someone else unleashed that virus? What if someone else killed all those people? Would you really want to know who it was?
Dominic: Sure.
Finch: Even if it was someone working for this government? That’s my question. If our own government was responsible for what happened at St Mary’s and Three Waters... if our own government was responsible for the deaths of almost a hundred thousand people... would you really want to know?
V:
“Our story begins, as these stories often do, with a young, up-and-coming politician.
He’s a deeply religious man and a member of the Conservative Party.
He’s completely single-minded and has no regard for the political process.
The more power he attains, the more obvious his zealotry and the more aggressive his supporters become.
Eventually, his party launches a special project in the name of “national security”.
At first, it’s believed to be a search for biological weapons and is pursued without regard to its cost.
However, the true goal of this project is power, complete and total hegemonic domination.
The project, however, ends violently; but the efforts of those involved are not in vain, for a new ability to wage war is born from the blood of one of the victims.
Imagine a virus, the most terrifying virus you can, and then imagine that you, and you alone, have the cure.
But if your ultimate goal is power, how best to use such a weapon?
It’s at this point in our story that along comes a spider.
He is a man seemingly without a conscience, for whom the ends always justify the means, and it is he who suggests that their target should not be an enemy of the country but rather the country itself.
Three targets are chosen to maximise the effect of the attack: a school, a tube station, and a water treatment plant.
Several hundred die within the first few weeks.
Fuelled by the media, fear and panic spread quickly, fracturing and dividing the country until, at last, the true goal comes into view.
Before the St Mary’s crisis, no-one would have predicted the results of the election that year. No-one.
And then, not long after the election, lo and behold, a miracle.
Some believe it was the work of God himself, but it was a pharmaceutical company controlled by certain party members that made them all obscenely rich.
A year later, several extremists are tried, found guilty, and executed, while a memorial is built to canonise their victims.
But the end result, the true genius of the plan, was the fear.
Fear became the ultimate tool of this government, and through it, our politician was ultimately appointed to the newly-created position of high chancellor.
The rest, as they say, is history.”
Well, the original screenplay has nothing about a virus.
The virus & the epidemic are introduced in the film.
The original screenplay’s events start in November 2019 … coincidentally, when the Covid pandemic began.
I’ve read the whole comic series, but don’t recollect much.
The Conservative Party that takes over Great Britain, I think, has a motto (in the comic): “Make Britain Great Again” or “Make England Great Again”.
As for the film, it was a nice film, and I liked it, though I am not a Liberal.
The original screenplay (well, at least a prior screenplay which didn’t make it to the film), which is available online and much closer to the comic series, is more candid and rather openly promotes Anarchism.
V is essentially an Anarchist.
The implication is that the Jesuitical-Roman Catholic unsuccessful-mass-murderer Guy Fawkes was an anarchist.
Interesting.
In the comic series, V also sings some sort of song about building Jerusalem in England.
Rather strange, for an anarchist, who is supposed to reject all religion and all revelation.
(Added later, same day:
I sort of recollected the words, but wasn’t sure, and then went back and checked…
The lines are from a poem written by William Blake, popularly known as “Jerusalem”.
I really don’t have much of an opinion about Blake.
He’s okay…nothing mesmerizing, nothing riveting… mostly unreadable, often overrated, largely over-analyzed.
Even if used as a symbol,
“I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land”
just sounds odd, coming from someone who sympathizes with Anarchism (V is an anarchist), Blacks, Muslims, and Homosexuality.
I’m aware that Blake was a radical for his times.
I think one of his paintings is showcased in the film.)
The idea of “We are not going back again” reminds me of 2 passages from the original screenplay:
“Some of you have wives.
Some of you have families.
All of you have lives.
Consider each of them as you ask yourself, are they a part of the past, or are they a part of the future?”
And also, these words spoken, not by V, but by Evey:
“I have come here tonight to keep a promise.
A promise that is over four hundred years old.
Tonight I am here to give you your freedom!
Since mankind's dawn a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives, responsibility that we should have accepted ourselves.
By doing so, they took our power.
By doing nothing, we gave it away.
The voice booms over the mesmerized crowd.
Tonight, our world will change.
Our leaders will be gone and we must choose what comes next.
A return to the chains of others or lives of our own.
A world of the past or one of the future.
… Let us choose carefully, London, and when we do, let us mark well and remember, remember this fifth of November!”
(Added 22nd August, 2024:
Oh yes, Hollywood keeps playing around with its viewers, sometimes glorifying one thing, sometimes its opposite.
In the 2018 film Mission Impossible Fallout, it is the Anarchists who want to release a globally destructive virus, and thus, a small pox plague … beginning in Kashmir, India.
They have a “Manifesto” which is occasionally quoted in the film, and one can rest assured that the Messianic-Kabbalistic Rabbis say the exact same thing, only they say it in the name of their God.
That there has to be universal destruction, suffering and chaos, before Truth, Justice and Peace finally reign on Earth, is the worst idea implanted in the human soul, and it has been planted there by the so-called “Abrahamic” “Monotheistic” faiths.
Technically, the idea is found in “pagan” creeds too – but they have had no effect, no relevance, no real inner power.
Hindus are NOT looking forward to a Kalki, who’ll “cleanse” the world of all its evil elements, engaging in mass slaughter & carnage, and then inaugurate a fresh Satya Yuga.
In any case, the present Kali Yuga began only some 4,100 years ago, and has to continue for another 4,28,0000 years!
So the idea of Kalki is essentially useless, in India.
It carries no weight, it drives nobody, it is simply not present in the mind of Hindus.
It is tomtomed only by the film industry – totally controlled by “Monotheists” and their spiritual heirs – so we hear of Hollywood mentioning “Shambala” (from whence Kalki will issue)—and I think they’re making a film here in India, on Kalki.
Fact is, the average Indian, or even the highly educated & aware Hindu, is least interested in Kalki.
It is very different in “Monotheism” where all pious “Monotheists” are waiting with bated breath, for universal death and destruction – for more than 2,000 years – have been secretly hoping for the most horrid catastrophes & wars – even courting global suffering, coaxing it, cajoling it.
It is an indispensable part of the “Monotheistic” God’s “Plan” – and without the great suffering, without the sadistic “Tribulation” — the great peace simply cannot be established.
All this is “Monotheistic” sickness, with its vicious “historical” sense.
The Christian fetish for the “Anti-Christ” and “the Beast of the Sea” is part of the same deep-rooted vindictiveness, the same secret gloating over the misery & loss & devastation of billions of people – which is metaphysically necessary, for the establishment of the universal reign of Christ.
We have all understood by now, that the diseased “Communist” conception of a “one world order” is a direct copy of the blasted “One God, One Book, One Truth, One Creed, One Head, One Mankind” of “Monotheism”.
The “pagan” concept of “Live & Let Live” is anathema to this sick way of thinking.
Kalki/Maitreya/Saoshyant appears to be perfectly philosophical in “Gentile” creeds – but has been converted into a political, historical figure in “Monotheism”.
This has taken the most malicious, sadistic form in the Messianic-Kabbalistic elite.
The “Light” of “Ha-Shem” is too strong, too pure, for corrupt mankind/Earth as it is, to receive it – so the world has to be “cleansed” or purged (i.e. decimated & destroyed) for the “Light” of “Ha-Shem” to flood it, to “rectify” the world, to perform the “Tikkoon Olaam”.
This is exactly what is being said, in disguise of a faux rationalism, by the so-called “Anarchists”, in the “Manifesto” in Mission Impossible Fallout.
“There has never been peace without first a great suffering, the greater the suffering, the greater the peace.
As mankind is drawn to his self-destruction like a moth to the candle, the so-called defenders of peace – the church, the government, the law – work tirelessly to save humanity from itself.
But, by averting disaster, they serve to delay a peace that can only come through an inevitable baptism of fire.
The suffering I bring you is not the beginning of the end.
It is the beginning of a greater mutual understanding through common suffering.
It is the first step towards the ultimate brotherhood of man.
The suffering I bring you is the bridge to ultimate peace.
Today, mankind has been handed the opportunity to escape his destiny, an otherwise inevitable conclusion to a thousand years of intolerance and fear.
…
I call all rationalists who can stand and join in the struggle against the radical theists, all of which fall beneath a common umbrella of ideology.
If we were to continue any further we would reach mythology and Aesop’s fables.
When do we stop?
Any belief in a spirituality with no other proof, other than the cravings to project one’s self over the rational thinking of the others must be eradicated as it does not only halt progression and development of the human mind and reach, but also hinders it.
Here I will emphasize clearly that the judgment upheld against us will be one of human hands, not of a god or other worldly being.
Part of the absurd rational is what leads to the obscure justifications, the believers place upon their own disgraceful and belligerent behavior.”
(Added 23rd August, 2024:
Below, are quoted the spiteful, vengeful ravings of the Arch-Christian-Father, Tertullian, from the tract “On Public Shows”, which are identical in spirit & substance to the ideas & aspirations of both the Good Anarchist V in V For Vendetta, and the Bad Anarchists in Mission Impossible Fallout.
Remember, these are men – real, actual human beings – full of envy, greed, lust & hatred – fallible, erring, imperfect – who, in their immense pride & judgmentality, want to bring about a total destruction of the world – they want to destroy it in order to build their own idea of what the world should be like.
I’m aware that, instantly, comparisons will be made with the Mahâbhârata and the Bhagavad Gitâ.
These are blatant falsehoods and asinine misinterpretations – by “Monotheists” and “Lie-berals” alike.
I will come to them in good time, but as of now, I’ll simply say that this whole structure of thinking does NOT apply to the Mahābhārata and the Bhagavad Gitā, nor to the Rāmāyaṇa.
Communists and Anarchists, like the “Monotheists” before them, want the old power-structure and hierarchy to be destroyed, so that they can take that power, create their own new hierarchy, and dominate over the whole of mankind.
Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains, have done NOTHING of that sort.
V For Vendetta has good production values & dialogs & acting & all – the actors are great – the film is very intense & emotional – but the story is totally unrealistic – ridiculously, laughably so.
Nobody has ever done, and nobody can ever do, what that character V does.
Harry Potter is more realistic than V For Vendetta.
I mean to say that this can only be accomplished by a group, a network, a clique, a community of businessmen & politicians & industrialists with their influence stretching into every sphere of life – including the scientific establishment, the “tech”, the defense forces, the police, the media, and the mafia – even schools & colleges & universities, hospitals & brothels.
Without incalculable corruption, deception and treachery – without the most insidious acts of depravity & violence – this kind of “cleansing” can never be accomplished.
The actual manifestoes of the real Anarchists actually proves it.
BTW, “Monotheists” are getting a good taste of their own philosophy, their own methods of slander, their own methods of destruction!
“But what sort of show is that near at hand?
the Coming of the Lord, now confessed, now glorious, now triumphant.
What is that joy of the Angels?
what the glory of the rising saints?
what the kingdom of the righteous which followeth?
what the city of the New Jerusalem?
And yet there remain other shows: that last and eternal Day of Judgment, the unlooked for, the scorned of the Nations, when all the ancient things of the world, and all that are rising into life, shall be consumed in one fire?
what shall then be the expanse of the show?
whereat shall I wonder?
whereat laugh? whereat rejoice?
whereat exult?
beholding so many kings, who were declared to be admitted into Heaven, with Jupiter himself and all that testify of him, groaning together in the lowest darkness?
those rulers too, the persecutors of the Name of the Lord, melting amid insulting fires more raging than those wherewith themselves raged against the Christians:
those wise philosophers moreover reddening before their own disciples, now burning together with them, whom they persuaded that there was nothing which appertained to God, before whom they affirmed that there were either no souls, or that they should not return again to their former bodies:
poets too trembling before the judgment-seat, not of Rhadamanthus, not of Minos, but of the unlooked-for Christ.
…
Then will the tragic actors be the more to be heard, because more loud in their cries amidst real affliction of their own:
then the players to be recognized, more dissolute by far when dissolved by fire:
then the charioteer to be gazed on, all red upon his fiery wheel:
then the wrestlers to be viewed tossing about, not in the theatre, but in the fire—unless perchance I may even then not desire to see them, as wishing rather to fix my gaze, never to be satisfied, on those who have furiously raged against the Lord.
This, I shall say, is He, the son of the carpenter or the harlot, the destroyer of the Sabbath, the Samaritan and Who had a devil.
This is He, Whom ye bought of Judas:
this is He, Who was smitten with a reed and with bufferings, dishonoured with spittings, drugged with gall and vinegar.
This is He, Whom the disciples stole secretly away, that it might be said that He had risen again, or Whom the gardener removed, lest his lettuces should be injured by the crowds of visitors.
Such shows as these, such triumphs as these, what praetor, or consul, or quaestor, or priest, shall of his own bounty bestow upon thee?
and yet we have them even now in some sort present to us, through Faith, in the imagination of the spirit.
But what are those things which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man?
Greater joys, methinks, than the circus, and both the theatres, and any race-course.”
Nietzsche (who was Jewish, or at least “Aspirationally Jewish” like Elon Musk!) referred to this passage in his Genealogy of Morals, and the translation there is more telling:
“Yes, and there are other sights: that last day of judgment, with its everlasting issues;
that day unlooked for by the nations, the theme of their derision, when the world hoary with age, and all its many products. shall be consumed in one great flame!
How vast a spectacle then bursts upon the eye!
What there excites my admiration?
what my derision?
Which sight gives me joy?
which rouses me to exultation? — as I see so many illustrious monarchs, whose reception into the heavens was publicly announced, groaning now in the lowest darkness with great Jove himself, and those, too, who bore witness of their exultation; governors of provinces, too, who persecuted the Christian name, in fires more fierce than those with which in the days of their pride they raged against the followers of Christ.
…
What world’s wise men besides, the very philosophers, in fact, who taught their followers that God had no concern in aught that is sublunary, and were wont to assure them that either they had no souls, or that they would never return to the bodies which at death they had left, now covered with shame before the poor deluded ones, as one fire consumes them!
Poets also, trembling not before the judgment seat of Rhadamanthus or Minos, but of the unexpected Christ! I shall have a better opportunity then of hearing the tragedians, louder-voiced in their own calamity; of viewing the play-actors, much more dissolute [another translation has “much lither of limb”] in the dissolving flame; of looking upon the charioteer, all glowing in his chariot of fire; of beholding the wrestlers, not in their gymnasia, but tossing in the fiery billows; unless even then I shall not care to attend to such ministers of sin, in my eager wish rather to fix a gaze insatiable on those whose fury vented itself against the Lord.”
In a footnote from the book we read:
The blessed in the kingdom of heaven will see the punishments of the damned, in order that their bliss be more delightful for them.—To be precise, what we find in Summa Thealogiae, III, Supplementum. Q. 94, Art. I. is this: “In order that the bliss of the saints may be more delightful for them and that they may render more copious thanks to God for it, it is given to them to see perfectly the punishment of the damned.”
Oh, the Monotheistic God of Love and Mercy, so infinitely greater than the “Gentile” “false” gods of “polytheism” & “idolatry”!
Of Abrahamic God of the Good News and the Good Peace!
The God of “Forgive Thy Enemy” and “Turn thy other cheek”!!!!!
Of the Meek in Spirit and the Weary and the “Downtrodden”!
Inscrutable is Thy Wrath and Thy Vengeance, Adunai!)

P.S.1. That said, there is no animosity towards any Monotheists, of any stamp 
P.S.2. THAT SAID, I am surprised that so many Hindus are so vehemently supportive of Donald Trump, who (at least outwardly) stands for Christian Supremacy and White Domination, and whose mission in life is preparing the way for the Kabbalistic “Moshiach”.
Astonishing that Indians want the United States to be the supreme world power – something which that Pig promises to his gullible, simpleton followers.
Looks like Hindus need a Master to boss them around.
A world in which they do not follow & obey some superior power, and are not subservient to something brutal & intimidating, – simply can’t exist, in their slavish imagination.
I SUPPORT KAMALA HARRIS.
(Added 27th August, 2024:
P.S. 1. Is it possible that, as Mr. Andrew Tate says, if Trump is not elected President, “western civilization” will collapse?
Tate does seem to suffer from some serious PTSD, but on a whole, I kinda like him … he seems to be an inherently nice guy, but he does seem to have a penchant to get himself into all sorts of ludicrous situations.
Too abrasive.
Too aggressive.
It can get wearisome.
So can gentlemen like Trump and Tate define the fundamental values of “western civilization”?
Both modern capitalism and communism as we know it, come from the west – and the west had all sorts of systems … the absolutist, authoritarian Catholic Church, Greek democracy, Feudalism, and Communism …. all are “western”.
Perhaps “western civilization” is not a fixed, static quantity, and can undergo change?
That said, I am pretty sure that Kamala Harris as President is NOT going to “destroy Western civilization”.
These are wild exaggerations, mostly by straight men who are deeply threatened by the LGBTQIA+ crowd.
These straight men might ask themselves why they are not able to hold out, against the flood of sexual freedom & fluidity which, they think, has been unleashed against them.
Are heterosexual men (and women) able to see how problematic they themselves are?
Look at your leader and representative, the abusive, domineering, sneering, decadent, narcissistic, self-obsessed, egomaniacal, megalomaniacal darling, Donald Trump.
He is a valuable case-study which should tell you precisely why Conservativism has become so revolting.
And though I certainly don’t want “western civilization” to collapse – God forbid! – I’m astonished to see so many Hindus worried sick about the collapse of “western civilization” and “Christian values”.
Rest assured, nobody is worried about Hindus or Hinduism.
My dear spineless, gutless co-religionists, you have been branded “cow-worshippers”, cow-piss-drinkers, cow-shit-obsessed-savages, widow-burners, bride-burners, child-stranglers, female-infanticides, “idolators”, “polytheists”, “Thuggees” & God-knows-what-not, by the whole of “Western civilization” – Lie-beral and Conservative alike, but especially by western conservatives, precisely the kind that slobber all over the boots of Trump.
I’ve never seen a single Christian sticking out for Hinduism in my entire life.
But Hindus’ hearts are bleeding for the disappearance of the “Christian way of life”.
Ah! How touching!
Is it that you can’t fight the Lie-beral, Anarcho-Communistic forces without Christian fundamentalists?
Is it that you can’t fight the so-called (mostly imaginary) “Islamist threat”, without Gentile-hating Bible-thumpers and Torah-brandishers?
Is it that you’re utterly afraid of the “Lie-beral-Islamist” faction taking over the West, because you can’t stand alone without the support of White Supremacists and Messianic-Rabbinical Racists?
Is it that you’re so weak and divided, demotivated and demoralized, that you’re simply unable to fight alone?
What is it that you’re unable to do, or are doing wrong?
Have you given it a single thought?
Maybe your position is so weak, because you are not so impressive after all.
Undoubtedly, all the Conservatives of the world should unite – but I don’t think that is going to happen.
Hindus might stick up for the “Judeo-Christian” tradition, but you can rest assured that the champions of “Judeo-Christian” tradition are not going to bother about Hindus.
The way Vivek Ramaswamy has been treated – (for God’s sake that man should keep his trap shut!) – should tell you a lot.
The way Kamala Harris is hated – not openly, but tacitly – for being half-Hindu, half-Indian – by Trump-supporters – is also telling.
They explicitly bring up her racial identity, again & again.
I’m yet to hear a prominent Christian or Jew saying something nice about Hinduism, let alone the “Brahmins” who seem to be dying for Trump & Netanyahu.
And even those who hate Trump & Netanyahu despise or distrust the Hindus.
I find these torrential tears of love and sympathy for the Christian cause rather astonishing.
I’m not against it, but I wonder if the Hindus, too used to having whips brandished over their heads, too used to getting kicked around, too used to being considered inferior, know what they’re doing.
The idea one gets is that Hindus in India need the pity and support of Christian-Jewish fundamentalists and White Supremacists, to defend Hinduism.
This is beyond pathetic.
P.S.2. Stop blaming George Soros for everything.
The idea of flooding Europe with Muslims did not begin with George Soros.
It was planned more than 150 years ago.
George Soros is not your biggest problem – your own lack of any special qualities, your absence of any virtues, your deficiency in any real inner value, is.)
