If you have not yet seen the new War of the Worlds, be aware that this segment contains spoilers to the film. You may want to wait until you see the film first.
War of the Worlds is an impressive film. The alien tripod machines were definitely interesting, yet this film is based on the 19th century book of the same name. When H.G. Wells wrote this book, he was dealing with the limits of his century’s technology as a filter for his words. At the same time, his Higher Self was supplying a flow of ideas that mirrors the alien Extermination Wild Card for Earth. In previous M5 segments I mention the Orion alternative plan to eliminate the current Earther human population and terraform Earth to a more manageable population and environment. In order for this to be accomplished, humans would be exterminated. In the film, when the tripod began vaporizing the locals, the word “exterminate” appeared in my mind, even though it would not be referred to in the film for some time yet. I kept hearing “exterminate” over and over when the tripod fired.
If the Extermination Wild Card is played, it will be cold, ruthless (as shown in the film) but not have a Spielberg happy ending. In the book, the aliens died due to bacteria in Earth’s environment. There are bacteria on ALL Planetary Spirit incarnated worlds throughout the Galaxy Game. Bacteria are expressions of the Planetary Spirit’s incarnational path. Aliens with interplanetary technology understand this very well and are not stupid enough to blindly go into a planet’s atmosphere without the proper precautions. In War of the Worlds, the narrator states that these aliens have been watching for “millions of years”. Only a fool would think that with all this watching, they didn’t notice bacteria and viral life. No, the ending that Wells gives in his book is naďve and something to soothe the Earthers.
Spielberg would embrace this pacify the reader/viewer concept and took it even further by having the son, Robbie, show up at the end when you know that he died in the fireballs of the alien tripods as we saw in the film. Not only did Robbie show up, comfortable and without a scratch in the end, he was apparently having a relaxing time in Boston with his mother and her family. Boston apparently was overlooked by these alien tripods, while remote areas had several roaming the area. Yeah, right! Spielberg loves happy endings. He also does not like showing females and children killed, but will go to town on males. That is why I won’t watch his rampaging dinosaur films – children outwit raptors and women are never killed but males are killed left and right. In reality, the children and women would be killed in far greater numbers than males. Yet, this is something that most Earthers want to be kept out of their entertainment. Yes, most EndGame Earthers, of the American type, do not want to face reality which is also why they refuse to see their government as corrupt, but that’s a topic for other segments.
You will notice that when you see the aliens outside of their tripods that they look like the Independence Day aliens. That surprised and disappointed me, but then Hollywood is about fantasy and the happy ending. In War of the Worlds, it was interesting to see how human blood is necessary as they not only killed humans but also harvested them. We see that first in the ferry scene when the tripods snake down arms and snatch up humans. Later on, we see humans kept in cages on the bottom of the main tripod cabin. The tripod takes a human (male, of course in a Spielberg film) and places him on the ground then another arm comes down and you see his blood being siphoned back up into the tripod. The blood is sprayed out as fertilizer for a red weed, which is native to the alien’s planet and part of their terraforming process. We do get to see a large result of the terraforming process with its alien landscape now on Earth. Blood is also necessary for the aliens’ diet. The alien need for blood is connected with both Orion and Sirian Empires. As per earlier segments, this is not ‘bad’. It is just the way these species exist as Earthers do by what we consume. Review past M5 segments on that, if you need the refresher.
In reality, if the Extermination Wild Card is played, it will be far worse than is depicted in War of the Worlds. However few Earther incarnates could tolerate this being depicted without a ‘happy ending’. This is what doomed the excellent Broadway play, Dance of the Vampires, which I totally enjoyed. The vampires won, christian mythology lost and the audience was too uncomfortable. Refer back to the segment on this play for more information. This is a body ID fear, not of spirit origin. Remember, the body fears death and its mortality. In order to subdue this prime fear, the spirit must have overridden that DNA command of self-preservation. The spirit is immortal and hence has no fears in that area. The spirit is along for the experience and ride that shim’s physical incarnation is providing. War of the Worlds is a recommended film to see. What will your observations yield?
