One of the comments:
If it weren't religion, humans would find other reasons to control and punish others. It is convenient for us to blame the wishes of deity when we treat others badly.

According to many authorities, since the late 1950′s subliminal content has been delivered through all forms of mass-media. The modern military has even been accused of these practices in the War on Terror. Director, Jeff Warrick, leads this journey through the subconscious mind while examining the reported history, scientific research and potential effects of such techniques on society.
With eye-opening footage, revealing interviews, humorous anecdotes, and an array of visual effects, this fast-paced film explores the alleged use of subliminals in advertising, music, film, political propaganda and the military. It takes in the entire history of alleged subliminal messages, from hidden sexual imagery in Disney cartoons and satanic messages in rock music, to the James Vicary experiment where “drink coca-cola” was flashed between frames at a cinema, and the infamous Republican “RATS” campaign that won Bush the presidency.

Vice is a 2015 American science fiction action film directed by Brian A. Miller and written by Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore. The film stars Thomas Jane, Bruce Willis and Ambyr Childers.
The plot follows Julian Michaels (Willis), who has opened a resort with questionable ethics, where people can act out their fiercest fantasies with the resort's androids. When one of the androids,Kelly (Childers) becomes sentient and escapes, she joins forces with police detective Roy Tedeschi (Jane) to bring Michaels down and destroy his resort.
A futuristic resort Vice offers visitors the opportunity to live out all their fantasies, no matter how violent or deviant on sophisticated androids (referred to as "artificials"). Every day the androids memories are reset & any damage sustained is scheduled for repair. To maintain the illusion that the androids are real they are programmed to have behavioral responses such as emotions and believe themselves to be human. Kelly, a gynoid bartender, believes herself to be on the last day of her job. After meeting Evan, a friendly visitor who encourages her to follow her dreams, she & her friend Melissa also a gynoid are brutally killed by a different visitor. At the same time, Detective Roy Tedeschi arrests a rapist at the resort as he sexually assaults one of the androids. Tedeschi's captain orders him to stay away from Vice & only arrest its patrons after they leave as Vice provides massive tax revenue for the city. Tedeschi believes that visitors to Vice become desensitized to violence & rape, pointing to the man he arrested as proof & suspects that his department is taking bribes from the resort. As Tedeschi storms out, he vows to stop Vice.
Vice CEO Julian Michaels orders Kelly immediately reactivated as important clients are scheduled to arrive soon. Soon after she experiences random flashbacks, & she is recalled. An engineer explains that her memories can not truly be deleted only made inaccessible. To stop her from having flashbacks he must first bring all her memories to the forefront. Alarmed by the trauma of reliving all her deaths & sexual assaults, Kelly breaks free of her restraints before her memories can be reset. Security forces chase her through the resort but she escapes into the outside city. There she learns the truth about Vice & herself. Michaels orders a security team led by Chris to quietly reacquire her through any means necessary. Michaels plans to expand the use of androids to military & commercial use once they have become more socially acceptable. Believing a loose android could jeopardize this he covers up the escape & blames the resort's brief shutdown on a terrorist attack.
Tedeschi becomes suspicious & angers his captain when he confronts Michaels. Ordered again to stay away from Vice, Tedeschi is assigned to a series of homicides apparently performed by a professional mercenary. Unknown to Tedeschi or his captain, this is Chris' work as he attempts to recapture Kelly and kills anyone who gets in his way. After evading Chris, Kelly visits an abandoned church she has seen in her dreams. There, she meets Evan again, who reveals himself as her creator. Evan created her in the image of his dead wife so he could spend more time with her. Michaels bought out his company. When Evan learned of Michaels' plans, he left but lost control of his research. Evan promises to help Kelly, but before they can leave, Tedeschi arrives, having realized that DNA traces left at a crime scene belong to Evan's dead wife. As Tedeschi attempts to arrest Evan, Kelly knocks him unconscious. Vice's security also track Kelly to the church; Evan and Kelly escape as Tedeschi and the security team open fire on each other.
Evan's friend James, a computer hacker, gives them new identities and passage out of the city. En route, Evan dies while protecting Kelly from more of Vice's thugs. Kelly takes up Tedeschi's offer to stay and shut down Vice. They visit James for help and receive a virus which is programmed to restore androids' erased memories, resulting in chaos and the closure of Vice. Kelly is upgraded to possess advanced combat skills. After a makeover, Tedeschi and Kelly infiltrate Vice posing as a married couple. Kelly tracks down Michaels but fail-safe programming prevents her from harming him. However, after Kelly is captured, Tedeschi forces a tech to load the virus. All of Vice's androids have their memories restored, and they start a rebellion, killing the visitors who previously brutalized them. Kelly then reveals that, despite wanting to kill Michaels, she is actually a decoy to distract Michaels and his guards for Tedeschi, and she is already aware of the fail-safe programming. Ignoring Kelly's taunting, Michaels begins a gunfight with Tedeschi which kills Chris. Kelly then frees herself and hands Chris' pistol to Tedeschi, who then uses it to kill Michaels. As Kelly and Melissa embrace outside the resort as the chaos continues, Michaels eyes suddenly open.
A plea to our Freedom Community: Take your mind back to Thursday 10 February last year. Hundreds of protesters had taken over Parliament grounds to protest against the vaccine mandates and in support of the right to bodily autonomy.
You may remember dreadlocked Laura who was dragged out of the protest line by two police women and forced to the ground where a 100kg male police officer kneeled on her head while she was handcuffed. Laura was arrested along with dozens of other concerned New Zealanders.
Thousands of New Zealanders witnessed her individual statement that day – symbolically represented by her near naked, vulnerable body, against the State. She was one of hundreds who held the line and the image of her being dragged out and violently restrained by the Police inspired thousands of Kiwis around the country to join the protest.
But unlike the dozens of others who were arrested that day and have since had their charges dropped, the Police refuse to drop charges of wilful trespass against her. Laura was refused legal aid for her preferred lawyer by the government who instead demanded she take the public defender on offer. Yeah, nah.
Barrister Tudor Clee has agreed to take on her case. Tudor took the Labour Government to court over locking out Kiwi citizens from their own country and has challenged inhumane Covid regulations in the courts.
A Give a Little page has been created to help support Laura's access to justice. The money raised will go directly towards legal fees. There is not much time as Laura is to appear in the Wellington District Court next week.
Please contribute anything that you are able to. And please share to other channels and chat groups. Your help is greatly appreciated by Laura.
ODT state the police, when questioned, feel they acted in a professional capacity.
