    The scary thing about this video is that we are actually living this reality
  • @UDNLordzz00
    What I love about animation is that everything is intentional. Every detail was put there for a reason.
  • 0:11 Unity becomes Trinity. 0:18 Trinity assumes consciousness. 0:23 Infinity sprawls from Trinity. 0:30 Human consciousness awakens. 0:36 The Sun is eclipsed by a cubic, dark Earth. 0:46 A strange island punctuates dark water, like Earth in Space. 0:49 A floating cluster of wrong-angled skyscrapers floats above a grid of city dwellers. 1:03 Monolithic, one structure towers above the rest as the reference point. 1:05 Its penthouse, suggestive of a black cube, floats like the capstone on the dollar's pyramid and displays a sinister red glow. A tie to the worship of ancient forces, perhaps Saturn, is suggested. 1:13 Pillar-like forms are revealed to be robed cultists (Saturn devotees?) with heads bowed in fevered worship, invoking a Red Cube into existence. Each has a pipeline or control cable attached but from where? 1:21 The Red Cube of control infects a solitary host, and replaces his heart with a hollow and darkened space. It radiates and spreads. 1:23 New hosts are buckled under the weight of new pain and submit to the Red Cube. 1:28 GenPop either suffers chronic headaches/mental anguish or plays deaf to each other's experience. 1:33 Human sardines keep the pace of their labors in spite of their constant suffering. 1:41 Obsession with material property. 1:46 Obsession with image. 1:50 Mental decay from chronic stress and material distraction. 1:55 The blazing pace of time blown in unfulfilling careers. 2:00 Universal state of hollowed hearts and fogged minds. 2:03 The commodification of false happiness. 2:08 The adoption of The Lifelong Mask. 2:13 Indoctrination of intoxication. 2:22 Within the intoxicated state, the rediscovery of connection. 2:28 Is this child born of the union implied in the previous scene? 2:31 The child is intact with unspoiled energetic centers. 2:35 Upon birth, the child is traumatized and potentially poisoned. 2:39 The child appears to reject Red Cube control, the face is bored yet the mind reels with original thought. 2:42 The child's teacher/handler, black square cap and all, sucks out the divergent thoughts and the Red Cube appears. 2:45 Authority leads children to their destruction. 2:50 The adolescent is filled with empathy-numbing drugs and pushed by circumstance into the military, where another layer of control is installed. 3:00 War profiteers display their trade, and the media-woven veil over it is shown in action. 3:19 CUT TO COMMERCIAL (Imagery of false eternal bliss through possessions projected to children) 3:20 Hypersexuality standing in for talent, with the wink that signifies membership in a certain club. 3:23 The specter of casting couch culture takes its invisible toll. 3:25 Royals are also slaves to The Narrative. 3:33 Exaggerated role models fascinate the masses who project themselves onto the big screen. 3:27 Dark agendas seem to be behind cinematic trends. 3:42 Sexual shame creates allegiance to Red Cube. 3:47 Nothing material fills the widening hole left by the need for connection and acceptance. 3:50 Technology provides a savior in the form of a perfect distraction. 3:53 All reality becomes virtual, as persona replaces personality. 3:58 Romance replaced by an algorithm. 4:01 Conversation becomes nonverbal and 1-dimensional. 4:09 War becomes entertainment while victims remain invisible ghosts. 4:14 Narcissism distracts the population from the ruin of the environment. 4:18 Consumerism becomes the only available ecstatic experience. 4:20 Fashion oscillates between extremes to drive trends. 4:22 The invisible horrors of the fur trade stand in contrast to the artificial luxury. 4:25 The trance of cosmetics and the insanity of animal testing are juxtaposed. 4:30 Personality cracks after years of trying to fit fashion, and the incredible suffering of the female is revealed. 4:36 Desperate perversion surrounds a hypersexualized woman reduced to one dimension of existence. Masturbation; ejaculation. 4:44 Males deform themselves into hideous stereotypes for attention while their inner selves are crippled with loneliness. 4:46 Attention farming becomes the norm. 4:54 Red Cube drones pose as the counter culture. Counter cultural groups are really just feckless youths who crumble under pressure. 5:00 The willfully ignored reality of industrial meat and dairy production is displayed. 5:12 The brutality of consuming animals insatiably is portrayed. 5:17 The hubris of man reinventing the plant kingdom and its effect in the propagation of disease are shown. 5:28 Industrialized medicine and pharmacology as panacea are revealed as a grift. 5:41 The modern doctor is shown as a high priest in the drug cult. 5:58 Baphomet-pose doctor reveals "as above so below" darkness-to-control mechanism and is rewarded. (Pillars return.) 6:03 Dog-eat-dog goes literal on the Stock Exchange. 6:17 Taxpaper funds politician, who funds the military, who funds mercenary, who funds invisible war and terrorism (blocks of cocaine/heroin). 6:21 Addict pays dealers, who pay CIA traffickers. 6:30 Washington launders drug money to fund "foreign affairs." (blocks of cocaine/heroin) 6:35 Infinite amount of fiat currency is printed on demand to create the illusion of wealth. US debt rose from 22 to 30 trillion pre to post Covid. 6:40 Retirees are bilked and milked, their robberies celebrated by professional thieves in finance. 6:49 Water is commodified into oblivion. Death toll rises. 6:54 Indigenous peoples are destroyed in the name of "progress." 6:59 Dissent is criminalized, stigmatized, and the people go silent. 7:03 Entire populations are sold out by deals between like-minded sociopaths. 7:10 After centuries of overt enslavement, black people are herded into hells and in such circumstances, a generation loses its fathers to crime and drugs. 7:16 The social mechanisms destroying the black community are peddled to their young in glorified caricatures. New chains, new slaves. 7:20 From the bosom of their land, the pedestalled heroes' distant brethren dig up diamonds which are used to sell their music and perpetuate the cycle. 7:23 Proud ancestors donning regalia evocative of Shaka Zulu (the most famous Zulu king) look on with contempt at the new heir. 7:27 The madness of racism prevents alignment of the people against the minions of the Cube Cult. 7:34 Political correctness makes it impossible to talk about the issues. 7:42 Puppet pundits silence other voices (possibly the traditional mother and father) and provoke the faux-trage of anti-social media (cancel culture) by taking the moral high ground (social justice warriors). 7:48 Servants of grim and perverse agendas bring the post-human into the world through unquestioned technologies; transhumanism, sex changes, hormone therapy, compartmentalizing the brain (MK Ultra). 7:55 A familiar smile blinds millions to the unseen horrors of a celebrated Presidential career. Clues regarding rumors of pitch-black perversions, both overt and covert, are shown framed on a desk made of death. A flash frame reveals his internal breakdown. 8:02 The blinded masses project their hopes onto screens of false opposites who serve the same masters. 8:07 The Red/Blue Game takes everyone for "a ride." 8:10 The atmosphere is ruined while everyone refuses to witness it. Chemtrails. 8:12 A grotesque party goes on forever while Joe Public wanders through it without noticing the Bacchanalia. 8:18 Powerful pedophiles ply their trade with impunity, destroying the bodies and souls of the most innocent while parents pretend it can't happen. Families are divided in the Cube system and become easy pickings for predators within the foster machinery. 8:25 The Bogeyman of terrorism is constantly thrown at people until they cry for help from the nanny state, who surrounds them with surveillance and placates them with smartphones, which are also surveillance. 8:30 Screen addiction cocoons individuals in separate virtual realities until they are moribund. 8:41 The faithful servants in the media keep the space between story and experience intact. 8:49 The masses are crushed as increasingly hollow power figures pray to higher and higher layers of the Red Cube system. At the top, those who receive these energies (Archons) appear to worship their own Black Cube which traps the power, and they seem hardly human at all. These are protected by a sphere of masks, in turn protected by the military industrial complex. 9:33 One Cube Soldier reflects upon his life, home, and property, which fall away and reveal that he sold his soul for no security at all. 9:36 Collapse begins with the evaporation of the housing market. 9:40 Towers cut at 45-degree angles. 9:48 Masks crack and the Red Cube fails. 9:57 Plant medicine reclaims its territory. 10:00 The corporate world seeks shelter but finds only mutual desperation. 10:05 A smug manager loses his status, his sanity, and his life, a hollow man stuffed with hollow wealth. 10:17 Darkness flees its failing hosts to return to its origin. 10:23 The game is up, and suicide is pushed as the final product. 10:25 In the unconscious, perhaps pushed by survival instinct, people begin to remember their true natures and emerge and awaken from the trance into consciousness. 10:45 Man undergoes the shamanic evisceration, revealing the dormant pineal gland, now activated. 11:00 Direct confrontation with (Jung's) shadow/egregore/Demiurge (of individual and species) enlivens and emboldens the once-dead heart. 11:11 The scales of spiritual ossification fall off; kundalini is activated. Ascension with purpose. 11:27 Phoenix of the female rises from centuries of oppression. 11:44 Union of gender, purpose (peace with a sword at the ready / meekness), and with what appears to be the consciousness of the ancestors. 11:49 A child is born outside the Cube, full of power and wisdom. 11:51 The world tree regenerates and blooms. 12:05 The new human is awake. We see open eyes for the first time in the video. 12:24 Chrysanthemum hallucination hints at the regenerative power of psychedelics.

    Not a word was spoken. A lot was told.

    It's scary that as the time passes, this video becomes more relevant..

    I must’ve watched this 10x before I realised that EVERYONE has their eyes closed until the ending with the eyes opening... Nice touch indeed! 👁👁
  • @m1ckw
    I've watched this 10 + times over the last year or so. It moves me every time, reminding me to be always vigilant and question everything especially my own choices. Absolutely amazing piece of art!
  • @daanarchist6345
    My algorithm suggested the new video half an hour ago. Never heard about this before. Glad to have found this. So many truth spoken without saying a word. Just epic…
  • @NOVIONE-id8go
    a masterpiece, the music, the video, the meaning... this is ART
  • @xX_luna96_Xx
    We are not human beings with spiritual experiences. We are spiritual beings with human experiences.
  • @Kimchi_Studios
    This is still one of the greatest documentaries of our time.
  • @tbrown6618
    This is indeed our reality. I share it every week on Facebook hoping to fire a trigger. Art is for the people and a brilliant way to snap them awake. Thank you. God bless you and please make more art! We need you.
  • I’m a soldier. That’s all I know. A soldier of love and peace but prepared to counter whatever comes. I love everyone who understands this video on the right level. We will all play our part. The struggle never ends, but a climax is at hand. Stay strong.

    This is not who we really are, this is what they taught us to be.
