Mad Max and Masonry?

Would this be called Masonic propaganda? I challenge the ATS Masons and their critics here to look at what I have to present:


I just communicated recently with a very kind gentlemen here on the ATS about Dan Brown and his new novel. The gentlemen was a mason and he and I exchanged a few ideas with each other about the writer Dan Brown and the Masons, etc. This was I think, only a couple of days ago and it is part of what makes the experience I’m about to share so strange.
.
Today I found the word “Masonic” occurring in a film. However in this case it was in a film from 1985 , about a postapocalyptic world, in a film which had nothing to do with Masons. It was the postnuclear setting of Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome and it did not occur in the right context . The film is rather famous I guess. Everyone reading would at least know of it. So , stay with me please. This is where it gets freaky weird. Some of the characters in the film think that mel gibson’s character is their messiah. His character tells them something along the lines of “no, I’m not who you think I am”. Then Gibson’s character begins to describe to the kids of this tribe in the film about something that used to be called cities. All the kids then ohhh and ahhhh.They repeat almost all of his words. He then tells them , and I’m quoting here as he’s describing the culture of what used to be in these “cities” “…they had skyscrapers, videos, and Masonic…”
That’s right, masonic. No reason for the word Masonic to be there. None at all. Why is it there? Why does he say that? It’s not got anything to do with the script.
. It means nothing in that sentence. It has no place being there! . So then the last word which the children repeat is “Masonic” and they repeat it over and over again.. it is eery. about 8 or nine characters all at once. And this all within about 20 seconds. Mind you ,The characters don’t know all the words of course. They don’t know what skyscrapers are or videos, and then there’s the sentence that for all the world sounds like it should end with , c.d.’s , maybe, or cars , though it ends with… Masonic.
Why Masonic? Of all words?
Hear Ye , ATS members, and the rest
Of the ATS
Even you ats stalkers in the midst
Here is a clue that most of you will get
It is Masonic in nature , and is no jest.

Most of you are tech savvy. Please feel free and find this and post it. And any feedback would be appreciated

I would use the search function, this has been discussed already (ad nauseam I believe), and I remember I had a post deleted for calling another poster "sugar [you know what]" (rhymes with "it's").

the congruency of themes for me personally is more significant now that i know it's been discussed ad nauseum. i didn't realize it was discussed add nauseum one thing i might add though, since it was discussed ad nauseum is that if there were a simple explanation behind it, it would not have been discussed ad nauseum. if i had found the answers i was looking for already on this topic which was discussed ad nauseum I wouldn't have started the thread. if i didn't want it presented in exactly the way I framed it I wouldn't have. you people on the ats did not find easily acceptable explanations for this which is why it was discussed ad nauseum. nor did you find easily agreed upon theories. hence the ad nauseum.

plucky ,that was you that called me that?!

Look, I can apologize, ad nauseam, but for what? That cliche has been done ad nauseam--apologizing to someone for telling them to use the search function and coming across as abrasive in the process, which is something people do naturally here, almost nearly ad nauseam. Now I understand the Christ-archetype in Max Mad with Tina Turner, but that archetype is practiced ad nauseam in film. Ever see A Fistful of Dollars? "Joe" as in "Jehovah" was the main character in that film. This is nothing new, the Christ-archetype is as popular in film as, say, Dracula and vampires. So what. I have seen enough vampire movies to the point of, yes, nausea.

Home! Tomorrow-morrow Land!



There were places like these.
Cities.



They were called cities.



They had lots of knowing.
They had skyscrapers. . .



. . .videos and they had the sonic.



Then this happened.



This Pox-Eclipse happened, and it's
finished. It isn't there anymore.



You got to understand
that this is home. . .

i don't watch movies or tv any more, period. No mind space for rent any longer by any flickering frames of any symbols ad puke-ium.

i never asked you to apologize, did i ? you were not being abrasive before. you are now though. and you are also accusing me of having been abrasive which i wasn't. the last of which makes me want to be abrasive toward you, however i won't. that would be ad nauseum in itself. perhaps you could present that last part to me in another way.i'm just having to look past the sass to see what you are saying. could you reframe that for me please?

much aprreciated. though i disagree. it's masonic.

reply to post by dragonsmusic


My sass has a tattoo on it you should know...I'm just sayin'. And what I was saying was, which I thought was abundantly clear, that this topic has been discussed before. It doesn't take Lord Humongous to see that, or does it?

I have come to the conclusion that Mason's are just silly old men in funny dresses! I'm sure in a hundred years from now they will have all have gratefully died out....

reply to post by pluckynoonez


my sass has a pair of tatoos. just sayin. the point about it being on here before was abundantly clear. i did not know that. my experience was that i heard masonic in the film. i see the posters with copies of the script. i remember what i heard. i heard masonic in the film. i went and found a pencil and paper and then i had to back up and remember the whole line before it, so i did not quote all the words perfectly before what i heard as "masonic" and what others are saying is "the sonic"
i realize that you and others think i'm mistaken. perhaps even that i knew about this thread beforehand and made up a story. i don't care who thinks what. i still think i heard masonic in that moment. and the points you caught my attention on were about the archetypes in case you want to nicely tell me more of your thoughts on that.

The dresses are funny, mott . ye ole scottish kilt !

reply to post by dragonsmusic


I told you, "Joe" in A Fistful of Dollars is Jehovah. And if you believe anything posted here on ATS, it is that Hollywood is run by the Illuminati, which would make any film "masonic" by definition.

Now, whether or not "the sonic" refers to the masons or jets breaking the sound barrier or a drive-in burger stand is anyone's guess, which is the other tattoo I will get on my sass, just so I can be equal with you.

lmao . plucky, i have to say that was amazing writing. if that's you in your avatar, then the combination of your linguistic skills and your beauty could have made me fall for you had this been an actual conversation in real life and provided you can talk as smoothly as you write
i agree the masons could have a hand in hollywood. that's intriguing.
suppose for a second the version i heard today was masonic. or don't . suppose i'm wrong and it's the sonic. the sonic is going to be a cool tatoo nonetheless. i might get my own that says masonic

reply to post by dragonsmusic


If you read the script, it's used a couple of times:

Not with wordstuff, with sonic.



That ain't never gonna work,
sonic-bonic bull....

Now, if somebody could just tell me what it means here.....

reply to post by Pauligirl


"Sonic-bonic" is a way of saying "whatever", as in, "Mad Max, Mad Smax".

reply to post by dragonsmusic


Um, the other tattoo on my sass was going to be "anyone's guess" but I think "the sonic" would work too. Sorry, I didn't make that clear.

what with pauli and plucky
i no longer feel lost
though i've lost my train of thought
i still feel like i'm lucky
