It is convenient for us to blame the wishes of deity when we treat others badly. [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIR7_X-ahy4)

The new tyranny is finally rearing its ugly head, as the graduates of the World Economic Forum’s Young Leaders are forcing tyranny onto the world stage. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, one of Klaus Schwab's Disciples of the Great Reset appears to be reading from the same script shared by her partners in tyranny. Protest is a hallmark of Democracy. But these protesters peacefully demanding the immediate return of their freedoms are categorized by her as violent racist insurrectionists. She blatantly abused the protestors and even abused and disrespected the media trying to ask her simple questions by butting in and talking over the top of them. Witch of the South Pacific, you need to LEAVE!

A middle-aged New York banker who disillusioned with his life contacts an agency known as "The Company" which specializes in providing "rebirths" under new identities & appearances altered by plastic surgery. The screenplay by Lewis John Carlino was based on the 1963 novel by David Ely. Many of the films elements are similar to the 2015 movie Self/Less. Filmed in New York & Malibu, California, in 1965, Seconds was entered into the 1966 Cannes Film Festival & released by Paramount Pictures. The cinematography by James Wong Howe was nominated for an Academy Award. In 2015, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" Arthur Hamilton is a middle-aged banking executive in New York who despite his professional success remains profoundly unfulfilled. His love for his wife Emily has dwindled & he seldom sees his only child, now grown. Arthur is approached by a stranger who gives him an address. Later that day he receives a call from Charlie his school friend whom he believed to be dead. Charlie recounts personal anecdotes that only he could know. Charlie informs Arthur that he must go the address provided & that the Company will save him from his empty life. Arthur takes up Charlies proposition & travels to the address, then is redirected through a circuitous series of addresses. At one location he is drugged & tries to leave the complex. He wanders around until finding himself in a vulnerable womans bedroom & in his drugged state he seemingly sexually assaults her. After waking Arthur is informed by the Companys Mr Ruby that their service costs $30,000. It will fake his death in a hotel fire using an anonymous cadaver then reshape his appearance & provide a fresh start. When Arthur is unsure, the head of the Company shows Arthur a film of the prior staged assault to make his decision easier. Arthur reluctantly accepts. He undergoes multiple extensive procedures by Dr. Innes that transform not only his facial features, but his vocal cords, teeth & even fingerprints. After a lengthy healing period, the younger looking Arthur is conferred the identity Tony Wilson. Tony is relocated by the Company into a beachside community in California. He attempts to assimilate into his new life, in which he is able to live as an artist —a career he had always aspired to— though he soon finds himself growing restless. While walking the beach one day, Tony encounters Nora. The two develop a swift attraction & Nora recounts how she came to leave her former life behind. Tony accompanies Nora to a Dionysian-themed party in Santa Barbara. There, the revelers dance, sing & stomp grapes in a large trough and, after some initial discomfort, Tony finally begins to enjoy himself. Tony & Nora host a cocktail party for neighbors. Tony gets drunk over the course of the night & begins to speak openly about his former identity. The male guests remove Tony to a bedroom, where he learns that they are also "reborns". Tony receives a phone call from Charlie, who warns him that he has put himself in danger by violating the Company's rules. Charlie also reveals that Nora is an employee of the Company who covertly helps new "reborns" to a smooth transition. Disenchanted by his new contrived life, Tony defiantly returns to New York. He arranges a meeting with Emily at his former home, claiming that he was once a friend of Arthur's. Emily shares that she felt Arthur was emotionally disconnected from his life & was in a constant state of longing that she could not understand. After the meeting, a melancholic Tony is met by associates of the Company & he requests that they give him a different identity. They agree to do so, but only if he can provide them with another referral to the Company. Returning to the Company’s headquarters, Tony is placed in a waiting room with various other men, including his friend Charlie, all of whom have asked to undergo another 'rebirth'. An elated Charlie is chosen & is escorted from the waiting room. Frustrated at the unknown amount of time the men have been waiting to be chosen & being unable to think of anyone that he can refer to the Company, Arthur angrily demands that his procedure be performed without further delay. During the night, the owner of the Company discusses with Tony/Arthur his original purpose for founding the organization & assures him that the issues he has brought up will be looked into. As he is wheeled into the operating room, Dr. Morris gives his last rites. As Dr. Innes sedates him, he tells Arthur that he is to be killed, with his body to be staged as the corpse for a new client to be reborn.
