hi guys, not sure if this topic already exists, but here are my findings...

I watched The Golden Compass yesterday and it seems to be packed with symbolism! what I found most staggering was of how much of the things we talk about here were being shown in the movie....the Magistrate of this parallel universe-earth wants to inoculate children with some stuff to keep them from seeing/feeling and connecting to "dust" (in this movie some cloudy, coloured dust connects uncountable parallel universes with each other), they talk about "protecting" them, keeping them out of danger by doing this. there is also a small elite in the Magistrate which can do however they please, but the mass of the people has to strictly obey their rules, otherwise they will be charged with heresy. They have a machine that can separate a child from it's demon (demons are animals that can speak and each person has one, it's a part of their soul/themselves that follows them around in the shape of an animal) and this demon somehow symbolises the soul/energy/spirit of the person. In the movie this machine is located in a secret research facility in Svalbard - and if I remember correctly a vault is being built on our planet, also in svalbard, where seeds are to be stored.
but the most interesting thing - the logo of the Magistrate :eek:

When I first saw it the freemason logo came into my mind, only that in the Magistrate's logo there seem to be 2 compasses and 2 squares, they overlap each other.
on the banner in the middle of the logo it says VESO, but I don't know what it means, does anyone have a clue about this?:confused:
buuuuuuuut the interesting stuff can be seen when you switch the picture 180 degrees

a pyramid including all-seeing eye, 2 torches and some sun symbol or whatever this thing on top of the pyramid means.

the only mystery about this is the VESO thing!:confused:

the whole film is completely based on Illuminati mindset.

means both sides (good/bad) in the flick represent parts of the Illuminati.

you have this overtly oppressive nazi/jesuit style force the ''Ministerium'' conducting experiments in hidden bases.

and you have the underground, occultist type of people like the pirate clans who are ruled by a king. the ''demons'' are what Illuminati believe to be their familiar spirits.

main character is a little girl (alice in wonderland, wizard of Oz etc..)

the film certainly would make for a good MK programming script/theme.

never mind the obvious MK triggers such as the scene where she looks at a certain symbol on her compass, ''the hourglass with a skull on top of it''

thanx for your answer, soulja.

yes, it's amazing how much of the movie is full with illuminati stuff, hidden right before our eyes.
I'll research some more into MK programmings, sounds definitely interesting.

cheers
