Please, please for your own sake don't bring the kubrick / shining hidden messages into this. I don't want you to embarrass yourself any more than is necessary. Please don't do it to yourself.
I don't need to bring the shining into any of it. Just take a look at what Kubrick was up to in those days, that should give you a clue. I say "should" , I'm fairly sure you've looked into this but if not, then maybe it might give you a little bit of food for thought.
The Shining conspiracy theorists really need to decide on which secret message the film was a vehicle for. So far as it suits them, they pick CIA mind control, the apollo missions, american killings of the indians, the illuminati, satanism and the holocaust.
I'm not really too bothered about the shining, although if you watch it, it weirdly gives out clues.
Call it many coincidences if you want to, that's your prerogative.
Detectives do not solve crimes by looking through evidence and deciding that hundreds of coincidences are simply just that and the criminal is allowed to go due to lack of evidence, do they?
They keep digging.
If we all had to go by your thinking, then no crime would ever be solved, because it would go like this.
Me: Well, glokta, the man had the gun and was at the apartment where the shot mans body was. The dead man had one bullet hole in his head caused by a magnum, which the man at the scene was caught in possession of; with only one bullet used from the chamber that matches the bullet that killed the man.
You: Yes, but that doesn't mean that the man is guilty, I mean, someone could have shot the other man and then pushed the gun into the arrested mans hands, then ran off.
Me: Well, yes, I suppose...but the only finger prints on the gun, are the arrested mans.
You: Yes, but the other man that ran away could have ben wearing gloves.
Me:, Well, I suppose, but the arrested man has blood splattering on his clothes and it is the blood of the dead man.
You: Maybe; but the man could have been walking past as the gunman shot the man and both were hit by blood splatter, only the innocent man has unfortunately had the gun placed in his hand and was left at the scene when police arrived.
Me: Possibly, except that the arrested man also had the dead mans wallet in his coat, so his possible intentions were to rob the man.
You: Yes but the real murderer could have shoved the wallet into the arrested mans pocket as he pushed the gun into his hand, knowing that the arrested man would be framed.
Me: Highly unlikely, as the arrested man has gun residue on his own coat and hands from the firing of the bullet.
You: As I said, he could have just been walking past as the bullet was fired.
This is what happens when conspiracies are questioned. Even though a conspiracy theory looks solid, it's counteracted with similar stuff to the scenario I just gave.
Let me put this another way.
If N.A.S.A was North Korea and they were the only country that was putting men into space and onto the moon, mars and everywhere else, then gave out video and pictures like we see of N.A.S.A..... I'd lay any money you wanted on people like you saying, " my god, it's an absolute fake, I mean look at the state of that...they can't even do this or that right."
You'll deny this of course but I'm telling you, you would be like this, because it would suit and you would follow the masses who said it was fake.
That's how the brainwashing system works and that's how propaganda works.
Fakery can be so in your face (not you personally) that it becomes embarrassingly ridiculous...but if it's officially recognised as being real by so called trusted scientists, then the ridiculous can be accepted by the masses.
From that point on; any random person who sees it for what it is, is immediately ridiculed or simply dismissed as a nut job and told to go away, or worse for those of higher rank who see it and decide to speak out.
That's how it works and that's how it's always worked.
