Fritz Lang’s 1927 movie “Metropolis” is one of those timeless classics that
withstand the test of time. Rather than becoming forgotten and obsolete,
“Metropolis” is increasingly relevant as many of its predictions are becom
reality. We will look at the underlying occult message of the film and the u
its imagery in the acts of pop stars such as Lady Gaga, Madonna, Beyonce,
Minogue and others.

Metropolis is a silent science-fiction movie released in 1927 by Fritz Lang, a master of


Expressionism. Set in a futuristic dystopia divided into two distinct and separate class 
thinkers and the workers—Metropolis describes the struggles between the two opposi
entities. Knowing that it was produced in 1927, viewing this movie today is quite an ex
as many “sci-fi” aspects of the plot are eerily close to reality. Metropolis describes a so
where the “New World Order” has already taken been implemented and a select elite l
luxury while a dehumanized mass work and live in a highly monitored hell.

The Occult Symbolism of Movie “Metropolis” and its Importance in

As we have seen in previous articles on The Vigilant Citizen, Metropolis is excessively


popular culture, especially in the music business. Whether it be in music videos or pho
shoots, pop stars are often portrayed as the character Maria, an android programmed
corrupt the morals of the workers and to incite a revolt, giving the elite an excuse to us 
repression. Are pop stars used by the elite in the same matter, to corrode the morals o
masses?

The workers at shift change.

The movie opens by showing the workers and their city, situated deep below the earth
surface. They are shown dressed alike, walking in sync, holding their heads down in
submission, resignation, and desperation. Throughout the movie, the human cattle is
as being physically and mentally exhausted, highly impressionable and, let’s say it, all

dumb. Like a flock of sheep, the workers move in crowds, are very impressionable and
easily be deceived. This description of the masses corroborates those of Walter Lippm
American thinker who, five years earlier in Public Opinion, compared the general pub
“bewildered herd” that is not qualified to manage its own destiny. Joseph Goebbels, th
propaganda of the N--i regime, was also in accord with the movie’s conception of the g
public. Hitler famously said “How fortunate for leaders that men do not think”.

The workers labor in a monstrous machine, a hellish industrial complex where they m
accomplish repetitive and dehumanizing tasks. At one point, the machine is compared
Moloch, the ancient Semitic deity honored by human sacrifices.

“Great is the world and its Creator! And great is Man!”

This statement has a deep resonance in Mystery Schools as it is taught that men have
potential to become gods through enlightenment. Throughout the ages, monuments a
architecture were used to communicate the principles of the Mysteries and to celebrat
greatness of the human mind. Partially for those reasons, there are numerous links be
Freemasonry and the Tower of Babel.

“As regards to Masonry, Babel of course represented a Masonic enterprise and


early expositors reaped full benefit from the facts. They remembered that the 
people, who were of ‘one language and one speech’ journeyed from the East to
the West, like those who have been tried and proved as Master Masons. When
they reached an abiding place in the land Shinar, it is affirmed that they dwelt
therein as Noachide, being the first characteristic name of Masons. It was here
that they built their high tower of confusion. Out of evil comes good, however,
and the confusion of tongues gave rise to ‘the ancient practice of Masons
conversing without the use of speech.'”
-Arthur Edward Waite, A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and of Cognate
Instituted Mysteries: Their Rites, Literature and History, Volume I

“In several early Masonic manuscripts – for example, the Harleian, Sloane,
404
Lansdowne, and Edinburgh-Kilwinning – it is stated that the craft of initiated
builders existed before the Deluge, and that its members were employed in the
building of the Tower of Babel.”

However, says Maria, “one man’s hymns of praise became the other man’s curse”. In o
words, the monument praising the greatness of the human spirit was built with the blo
sweat of workers who knew nothing of the Thinker’s grand vision. And, in the film, the
thing is happening all over again. The name of the demi-god Joh Fredersen’s headqua

But why Metropolis? Why has it become the code for “Illuminati star”? If you’ve read
articles on this site, you’ve probably realized that the movie touches upon all of the the
today’s “Illuminati agenda”: transhumanism, mind control, dark occultism, degradati
morals, police state, all-seeing government. Metropolis is basically a blueprint for pop
control. Like Maria, today’s pop stars are recruited from the working class and literally
404 programmed and reinvented to become the hidden ruler’s spokespersons. Notice how
pop stars have wild alter-egos, with a different name and personality. Part of the stars

The Occult Symbolism of Movie “Metropolis” and its Importance in

Christianity is in a big state of confusion and a mess and that is coming from a Christian of mo
decade!

Easter is a Pagan celebration; so is Christmas; so is Worshiping on a Sunday (worship of the Su


lot of other things.

But if you even dare to say that those celebrations are wrong you'll get shot down, crucified and
persecuted by other Christians. It's happened (happens) to my dad a lot (He firmly believes tha
worshiping on a Sunday is wrong). Even my mother will shoot my dad if he even so mentions S
worship might not be right!

How can you not see that, despite the apparent 'elitist' tone of the film, it is a dystopia so you c
out the idea that it is supposed to criticise the attitude it expresses. The dehumanisation of the
being criticised not promoted. Saying that it encourages an elitist attitude is like saying Orwell
encouraging totalitarianism. jeez.

It can be seen as a warning, to a degree. However, VC pointed out that ending ‘moral’ of
mediator between head and hand must be the heart”. This ending is nefarious because t
no reason it would appear if the movie was intended as a warning. Instead, it reads mor

I haven’t watched the movie so I can’t place it into context. But my guess is VC isn’t read
much into things in this case. The Illuminati were around in the ’20s so it doesn’t seem

to not see that there’s something wrong with the productions Hollywood and the music
industry point out, as this site amply demonstrates. How would you explain the need to

I’m sorry but I see that I saved it at a point before it was actually finished, so I hop
whatever version you are reading is not upsetting to you or anyone else. Upsetting
is not my goal!
