Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Drones and the Secret Move to Depopulate

by Christopher Barr

Captain America: The Winter Soldier was the most reality based of all the Marvel movies since 2008’s Iron Man.  The movie played like a 70’s espionage thriller with spies and hidden secrets held by men in the shadows, as seen brilliantly in The Parallax View.  It’s not surprising that Robert Redford was cast to illicit that sense of intrigue and suspense so wonderfully captured in Redford’s All the President’s Men and Three Days of the Condor.

What gave it its contemporary ‘now’ feel was its subject matter, it was about population reduction, it was about striking at the enemy before they can strike at us, it was about holding the population hostage in a police state for their own good.  Since 9/11 a person’s individual freedoms have been hijacked by the very government sworn to protect them.

Captain America has to go off the grid when S.H.I.E.L.D tries to kill him because they think he holds information that an injured Nick Fury might have given him.  Soon we begin to see that some of the higher up officials at S.H.I.E.L.D are secretly Hydra agents fighting to push in a New World Order.  Cap enlists the help of Black Widow and the Falcon to get to the bottom of the conspiracy and to stop the Winter Soldier.

The Winter Soldier is MKUltra on steroids, part man, part machine assassin that is drugged to maintain obedience.  He is responsible for helping Hydra to offset the balance of power and create a world were fear eclipses freedom.

Cap ends up discovering that Hydra, using three massive flying Helicarriers, plans on reducing the population to help insure sustainability and take over the power structure echoing what Hitler and his Nazi soldiers were attempting to do in World War 2.  Hydra developed a system of singling out the weaker links in the population, based on their own assessments and then plan on killing them all.

In reality, World population is, by all intents and purposes, completely out of control. The New World Order Elite plan to implement a depopulation of the 7 billion people on this planet down to a more manageable 500 million to 2 billion.  This plan is to be achieved either by unsustainable international development, which will lead to massive hunger, starvation and famine worldwide, the fomentation of war, hatred and military procurements, such as chemical and biological agents and ultimately to nuclear war.  This will happen throughout various countries leading to millions of deaths worldwide, and finally, the creation and spread of infectious diseases leading to global pandemic, plague and pestilence on an unprecedented scale.   

We’ve already seen the poisoning and contamination of the planet’s food and water supplies, as well as the introduction and use of deadly pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines in society, we’ve seen weather modification through chemical dispersion in the sky and electromagnetic weapons that create massive climate change and destruction.

The previous century was the bloodiest in human history with the management of who lives and who dies becoming the central organizing principle.  Hunger, famine and disease have taken billions of innocent lives, World Wars 1 and 2, along with the despotic regimes of Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, Reagan, Bush and now Obama took hundreds of millions of lives.  This new century is shaping up to accelerate this ghastly trend where hunger, famine and disease are reaping record levels of deaths.  Drones are the new weapon of the future, a weapon of mass destruction.

Drones are not extensions of ourselves, they use the freedom to kill at a distances while we are safe and sound in a command center somewhere far away from the kill zone.  They do make warfare safe for those that offer up their lives in the service of making the world a better place.  They take the shred of humanity that’s left in war and transform it into indifferent murder.

The use of drones in hostile situations prove themselves to be quite useful, but the real problem here is war itself.  War is a business and soldiers must be paid like any employee, so eliminating them allows for a much more profitable paycheck for the corporations and governments that are fighting the wars in the first place.

Like the problem with most technologies, drones allow us to free ourselves of the guilt over the atrocities we are executing in the service of profit, the lives we are taking for our stocks to go up.  It’s oddly heading to a point that wars, where actual people are being killed, will have the same indifference a video game has for a gamer.
In the United States, the dominant narrative for the use of drones is of a surgically precise and effective tool that makes the US safer by enabling ‘targeted killing’ of terrorists, with minimal downsides or collateral impacts.  But the truth is there is mounting evidence of the damaging and counterproductive effects of current US drone strike policies, with negative impacts to the civilians living under drones.

While their use might be a vital part of US counterterrorism, the collateral damage they leave behind is undeniable.  These drones are primarily used for surveillance and spying but there are weapons-carrying drones, which carry Hellfire missiles and 500-pound bombs that are used by the CIA and the military in anti-terrorist operations.  These drones are called MQ-9 Reapers, with the cost of 12 million per drone.  This is significantly lower than the cost of the US Air Force’s most advanced war plane, the F-22, which is 10 times that amount.

The unmanned Predators have been involved in lethal operations inside sovereign countries that are not even at war with the United States.  The legal ramifications for such operations and the very notion of the deployment of killer robots are deeply disturbing.  There have been 33 percent and upwards of 80 percent of innocent civilians killed during drone operations.  With technological changes within society in the form of the internet and sites like YouTube, there is a growing intolerance for the routine slaughter of so many innocent people.  The secret is out and many people are starting to ask questions about whether these robots are doing more harm than good.  But in the end they are here to stay because they are cheap, for the most part they work, some claim they are necessary and they are quite popular among politicians in the United States both Republicans and Democrats.   

This is all part of the international campaign to eliminate the ‘useless eaters’ on behalf of the planet’s privileged ruling elite, this ‘final solution’ to depopulate 4-5 billion people from Earth, will likely come in the form of an emerging biotech, using nanotechnology to create a super bioweapon virus, a global ‘kill-off’ pandemic through which they will only have the cure.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is but one of many films forecasting this inevitable calamity.  Unfortunately by most of the very population that will be targeted for elimination, will look at this movie and others like it as a complete work of fiction about a superhero that fights the evil bad men and finally saves the day in the end.

The hope that the elite could fail at their attempt to depopulate the world is the business class who run the world.  Business needs customers so killing off well over half the world’s population would effectively cut deep into their bottom line.  So the solace that can be found here, oddly enough, is in greed.  McDonald’s needs its Billion customers to be successful so you can be damn sure they would highly object to depopulation.  Many multinational corporations, like movie studios or car companies on this planet would object and will do whatever it takes to unsure it doesn’t happen.  So in this very rare situation, greed wins today.

This movie explores the ramifications of military technology and weaponry in the wrong hands.  Whether it’s Helicarriers in the movie or Drones in real life, there is a class within the government and the elite they work for, that wish to harm a mass amount of people.  While we are all distracted by social networking and dumbed-down TV, these crazed powerful elite might just get what they want.  We can only hope that the people wake up to their enslavement and take back their freedom.
