Just read GNAnon. This is real Twilight Zone stuff. Doo dee doo dee doo-dee doo.

My theory just now is that GN may be conveying that Hollywood movies are all designed to be psychologically manipulative. Hollywood must die for liberty to be preserved.

Burn Pedowood to the ground and start over.

I think it's a genius in a Hollywood marketing company who is mixing in chatter about Marvel and Disney movies, including the new Thor movie in theaters now, with the currently popular QAnon style and the Don Trump Time Machine meme. It gets a guaranteed audience and gets people talking about the movies.

Maybe you're right, but it's entertaining, nonetheless. Aliens, Norse mythology, Tesla machine, Mars.

That aside, there are at least two Hollywood angles that are at least tangentially swamp-related.

Lionsgate, which made the good Batman movies, was owned by Frank Giustra and had some business dealings with China's Dalian Wanda group. Dalian Wanda was in talks to buy them out but I don't think it ever went through. Giustra was a major donor to the Clinton Foundation.

Also, MPAC has a censorship bureau in Hollywood which is run/protected by the Council on Foreign Relations. Have some background links on this organization from Andrew McCarthy, Daniel Pipes, Ryan Mauro, and The Investigative Project.

Giustra served as chairman of Lions Gate Entertainment from 1997–2003.[13] He hoped to capitalize on the growing film industry in Vancouver. The company bought a number of small production facilities and distributors. Its first success was American Psycho, which began a trend of producing and distributing films far too controversial for the major American studios. Other successes included Affliction, Gods and Monsters, Dogma, and the Michael Moore documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, which turned out to be the studio's highest grossing film. In 2000, Giustra left the firm and it was taken over by Jon Feltheimer and Michael Burns. Giustra sold most of his stake in Lionsgate in 2003.

In December 2010, Giustra returned to Lions Gate Entertainment as a member of the board of directors.[14] In March 2012, he started a new joint venture with Lionsgate and Thunderbird Films, called Sea to Sky Entertainment, which will focus on projects in the television industry.

September 2014, Thunderbird Films, where Giustra is both a director and investor, purchased UK Soda Pictures Inc. In April 2013 Thunderbird Films, which has a partnership with Lionsgate to run a TV studio, purchased Reunion Pictures for an undisclosed sum to bolster its one-hour drama production capacity. The deal is Thunderbird's latest move to turn the distribution and rights management company into a major film and TV producer. Lionsgate founder Frank Giustra is a major shareholder who largely orchestrated the 50–50 joint venture Sea to Sky Entertainment with Lionsgate.
