Kubrick Konspiracy

There is a theory that holds that Stanley Kubrick was killed by the Illuminati for revealing too much about the secret society in his final film Eyes Wide Shut. While the official cause of death was listed as cardiac arrest (certainly not shocking for a 70 year-old man), some conspiracists point to the preponderance of Illuminati symbolism in his films, his clean bill of health prior to dying, and the strange editorial takeover of the film before its release as evidence there was more going on here than meets the eye.

Believers of this theory, many of whom also believe that Kubrick was enlisted by the US government to produce the faked moon landing photos, view the prevalence of Illuminati symbols in his films as more than just the result of unconscious archetypes. There is anecdotal evidence that Kubrick himself was a part of the Illuminati, and was using his films as a vehicle for communication with outsiders, as a way to reveal the existence of a globalist synarchy. Indeed, many if not all of his films, including The Shining, 2001, and A Clockwork Orange, are full of Illuminati symbols, most notably the one eye symbol. The ubiquitous one eye symbol and the pyramid shape are often pointed to in popular culture as evidence that the world’s major celebrities are puppets of the Illuminati.

But if Kubrick’s body of work is rife with Illuminati symbolism, his final film Eyes Wide Shut is the climax. Not only is this film about a mysterious, perhaps murderous, secret society, it is drenched in allusions to the New World Order cabal. Occult symbols like the pentagram can be found throughout the film, as well as multiple references to rainbows and looking glasses, which are notoriously used to evoke The Wizard of Oz and the cultural brainwashing of MKULTRA and other CIA operations.

In another anecdotal connection, the film’s costume store called the Rainbow is actually across the street from a Masonic lodge. The secret society in the film is often compared to the Masons, as they have both been associated with ritualized sex magic orgies in which human blood is sacrificed. This association is also frequently tied to Satanism and pedophilia, both of which are alluded to in the film. There is even a character named after the creator of the Church of Satan, Anton Sandor LaVey; and the Rainbow store owner’s underage daughter is depicted as a prostitute to rich men.

Eyes Wide Shut, the phrase itself, is a calling card among secret societies, meaning ‘my eyes are shut to your misdeeds, brother.’ This anonymity is required of the participants, otherwise the society’s moneyed elite would be revealed. For as one character in the film says, “If I told you their names I don’t think you’d sleep so well.”

Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising evidence for Kubrick being murdered by the Illuminati is the events surrounding his death. Kubrick had no history of heart disease in his family and was very healthy prior to his passing. More importantly, he died only days after submitting the first cut of the film to Warner Brothers. At this point, the film was commandeered by Warner Brothers and heavily edited. At the time, the editing was attributed to the need to mask out the hardcore sex shots in the orgy sequence. Yet edits to the film regarding sexuality were very minor. It’s hard to believe that so much energy would be invested into editing images that displayed sexual deviance no more lascivious than the vast majority of Hollywood films.

Is it possible that this scene and others originally contained images and/or dialogue that illuminated the New World Order in a way that was dangerous to their privacy? Was Kubrick trying to out the secret society, or at least toy with their heads? Regardless, it is worth noting that Stanley Kubrick’s wife has gone on record at least once claiming she doesn’t believe Kubrick died from a heart attack. So perhaps it is no coincidence that Kubrick passed exactly 666 days before January 1, 2001 — the first day of the year in which his most famous film takes place.

Was Kubrick killed for attempting to disclose too much about the Illuminati? Or was he killed to stop him from producing his next film after Eyes Wide Shut aimed at exposing Hollywood for its pedophilia. We’ll probably never know for sure.
