THE ESOTERIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DEATH OF ROB REINER

There can be no doubt that Rob Reiner was one of the big Hollywood players. He was not a film director who immediately springs to mind when considering even the present upper echelon of cinema, and never won an Academy Award. However, three of his films have been included in the US National Film Registry, and he was, for many years, a reliable box office draw. Perhaps, however, it is the fact that this reliability disappeared back in the 1990s, to be replaced by the mediocrity and blandness that went hand in glove with his woke politics which has resulted in his relegation to the second tier. He could easily have been another Spielberg, both having the same broad range and diversity of films, but Spielberg generally treads carefully when caching his political didactics in his narratives. Reiner became clumsier with age and his storytelling unengaging, resulting in failure after failure, with only Jewish and political tribalism sparing him from consequence.

THE CLOWN WORLD ABSURDITY

 Upon seeing the title of this article, the reader might fall into the trap of thinking that this is yet another analysis, of which there are many, of how stupid our politicians are, of what foolish decisions they make and of how ridiculous our world has become. Such a reader, however, would be very wrong. Not that I couldn’t knock up an article or even a book in the vein of a Peter Hitchens or a Douglas Murray or any other neo-con or Aut-Righter, in which I mocked and scoffed at our contemporary society. Indeed, in the case of the two names I have mentioned, I could just as easily avoid the real issues and point to facile impersonal scapegoats like drugs and pornography. Well, drugs and pornography do not manufacture themselves. Such neo-cons and Aut Righters came up with a blanket term some seven or eight years ago, which I am happy to see is slowly falling out of usage, that of the clown world.
