"Eddington" Conspiracy Cork Board (Pt. I): An AmerIsraeli Years of Lead Western Yarn

Added 2025-08-12 22:30:00 +0000 UTC

In which we decode Eddington’s subtextual conspiracy themes, endeavoring to argue that the new Ari Aster is perhaps the first major, theatrically released film to have accurately encapsulated the essence of the technocratic AmerIsraeli Years of Lead—in accordance with my personal timeline of the ongoing deep political era that would place its inception around Covid time—and the Silicon Valley capitalist elite's embrace of strategy of tension in the cybernetic service of of updating America's Total Info Awareness 2.0 operating system and the installation of their long planned predictive policing panopticon.

We discuss: why the appearance of the globo "Antifa PMCs" isn't actually crypto-MAGA chicanery (seeing as they are Gladio operators); Joaquin Phoenix's turn as Sheriff Joe Cross, a Gen X, mumblecore, adoptive son of Sheriff Joe Arpaio type; Eddington as Nashville esque ensemble comedy cum Coen Brothers Covid Wester with the accompanying masking/social distancing standoffs; diagnosing the alienation and social media siloing of the wokespeak & QAnon brain rot of that hot 2020 summer; the role of calibrated algorithmic control; Sheriff Cross's Israeli Civil Guard pin in the OG script; the unfortunate executive production of Len Blavatnik, the Zio·nist billionaire "philanthropist" tied to Brett Ratner, Weinstein, the Bronfmans, etc, mulling whether he might have vetoed the inclusion of that visual gag on Sheriff Joe's regalia vest; the Solidgoldmagikarp Proposed Hyperscale Data Center project, the underlying Pynchon-esque real estate development and land and water use conspiracy; the schizophrenic drifter character Lodge, who opens the film, and his Homeric oracle qualities, spiritually warning against the onset of the Age of AI-quarius; Mike the One Armed Man from Twin Peaks comparisons; "wicked boxes" and algorithmic authoritarianism; Pynchonian Lodge puns - the transient is without LODGE-ing, Freemasonic Lodges (one of the faux-Antifas has a Freemasonry tat in the OG script), Black Lodge / White Lodge (TP again), and the pestilential Covid contagion is LODGED within him; Chekhov's Cough; Louise Cross, Sheriff Cross's wife, the one other farsighted character, and her haldol prescription, evoking Twin Peaks again; a demonic Mark Zuckerberg hinted at as one of the shadowy backers of the Solidgoldmagikarp Data Center in the earlier draft; Gov. Grisham making it into the film by way of an honorary watch and Covid headlines; Truth & Consequences, NM as filming locale; the David Dees vibe of the cell towers in the opening sequence and various 5G diatribes; Aster lurking on Twitter; an earlier version of the second scene in which Sheriff Cross wrestles with Officer Butterfly Jimenez over who gets to investigate the self-immolation death of a paraplegic conspiracy Youtuber named Mitchell and the Native school uniforms discovered in his accessible van (evoking Missing Indigenous Children); the film's abiding interest in the neocultures that have cropped up around QAnon, sex trafficking crusaders, pedo-hunters, so on; borderlands and issues of jurisdiction between the Sevilla Co. Sheriff and the Santa Lupe Pueblo Tribal Officers; the Santa Lupe Pueblo village, the fictional Pueblo community in the film; wonderments about possible subtextual allusions or puns worked into the fictitious name; Cesar Chavez & Dolores Huerta's (a New Mexican) Hispanic borderlands community union LUPE aka La Union de Pueblo Entero aka The Union of the Whole People; Santa Lupe Pueblo = SLP = Speech Language Pathologist?; the neighboring, colonized tribal peoples, at their slight remove from Eddington and Treatlerite American society moreover, being the observers best prepared to pathologize the alienation and atomization and societal decay taking hold in the town over Covid; in regards Speech Language Pathologists, the ever-present theme of miscommunication and the deterioration of consensus reality caused by social media echo chamber-induced myopia, as well as the specter of LLMs or Large Language Models; "Solidgoldmagikarp" alluding to AI & ChatGPT tokens that cause anomalous or erratic behavior; Covid as the "Solidgoldmagikarp" of the film; Butterfly Jimenez's competency as a lawman and the fact he was on the verge of solving Sheriff Cross's humble Manson-esque, Antifa false flag; Butterfly as the avatar for the Pueblo community's opposition to the dev project; Paula, owner of the Mexican-Greek restaurant, and her ecological concerns and strategic alliance w/ the Sheriff's mayoral bid; Dem Apparatchik Warren Sandoval running the show (potshot at Elizabeth Warren and a last name derived from Latin meaning "grove" and "newly cleared land", evoking the development he's string-pulling); Sheriff Cross's vendetta against Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal); the aimless Sheriff's susceptibility to charlatans and grifters - Rhonda Byrne's The Secret (Blavatsky & Peale-informed positive thinking) and Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People; the influence of John Ford on the Western psyche; Young Mr. Lincoln, The Searchers, etc; Sheriff Cross's assassination trial run in Garcia's bar, killing Lodge; the fate of the characters who are anti-Solidgoldmagikarp coded (at least two dead, one rendered catatonic); bad luck Luddites and those at odds with the technocratic overlords' vision in Aster's comically evil but reflective universe; the Antifa goons as the Mario Merlinos of the tale; various recent AmerIsraeli Years of Lead comparisons to draw; Sheriff Joe Cross's intended death in the climactic terroristic, SoT false flag attack forestalled by the guns blazing arrival of Brian, the Kyle Rittenhouse cum Madison Cawthorn cum Charlie Kirk of the narrative, who had attempted to assimilate into the left in pursuit of his crush but ultimately reverts to Right to Bear Arms, Sunbelt RW militia type; the SLP Reservation as allusion to Cabazon Indian Reservation, Danny Casolaro, Fred Alvarez, and the Octopus Murders; the cynical merger between Sheriff Cross's mother-in-law Dawn Bodkin and Warren Sandoval once Sheriff Cross is paralyzed and elected mayor, pushing Solidgoldmagikarp through with little resistance from the traumatized town, and Dawn's puppeteering of the meat suit Cross to push her pet Covid bioweapon, mRNA vax, and 9/11 demo theories; and much much more.
