Was Stanley Kubrick killed? (Part 1) Assassination and EYES WIDE SHUT re-edit theories explained.

[@collativelearning]

IMPORTANT RESPONSE TO SOME OBJECTING COMMENTS For those who object to this video even posing the question of Kubrick being assassinated or who just assume, based on the vid title, that I've already bought into the theories ... I do say in the vid intro that Part 2 will outlne the counter arguments / evidence (and that vid will be as in-depth as this first part). Simply objecting to the question being raised is completely the wrong way to approach any controversial issue. In doing that you cast yourself, in the eyes of those who disagree with you, as being closed minded or even in denial. Calm, rational debate is the way to move forward. And remember, your opponents in an argument often feel as frustrated with you as you do them. And that applies equally to the often over-emotional responses of those who totally buy into the theories. When you call people shills or sheep etc, just because they raise arguments or questions inconvenient to your narrative, you cast yourself as being the one in denial too. I've also decided, since uploading this and getting very high view count engagement in just 24 hrs, that I'll most likely make a separate third part of the vid exploring some different possibilities that more plausibly explain the strange timings and the parallels with the film content regarding Kubrick's death (and yes, some of these factors are too strange to just completely dismiss). Like with most controversial conspiracy rumours, there are middle ground (and usually more complex) possibilities that better fit with the evidence ... but you won't find them if you jump straight to the most over-simplistic conclusions out of bias / preference. Keep yourselves open-minded and willing to question every single claim made, whether it's for or against your desired narrative. That's the approach any detective worth their salt uses. Thanks folks.

If a individual is of age, and chooses to sell herself by means of making money (knowingly)… Then a judge and jury would likely view it as a consensual act because she’s a participant like the guy involved in arrangement with her.

That said, of course conspiracies have existed in the past, and continue to do so today (the oil industry’s effective propaganda against and suppression of clean energy being one example). But, people create patterns out of objects and events which aren’t necessarily related (i.e., constellations), factual evidence is not a requirement for belief in the credulous, and anyone with a small amount of imagination can create almost any scenario out of whole cloth. To sum up, most conspiracy theories are BS.

[@collativelearning]

@@ceevis7286 It's not that simple. Getting such services from an addict or someone in poverty has a coersion or blackmail element to it. Interesting you only view prostitution as a female profession. Men do it too. I'm not saying the person who sells themselves is absolved of all responsibility, but the punter bears their share of it too. Another factor is that some people who sell themselves like that are uneducated and sometimes mentally impaired by low IQ, addiction etc. If one seduces as an "adult" with a child's mental age I'm not sure the law would be ok with it. According to Sexual Offences Act 2003 in UK it's illegal if the other person "lacks the capacity to choose whether to agree to the touching (whether because he lacks sufficient understanding of the nature or reasonably foreseeable consequences of what is being done, or for any other reason)," there's a fair bit of interpative scope in that. But that's the technical legal argument. There's also the moral argument, which is often different to the written laws.

What bothers me about this comment section is, that in a world where a certain island operation 99% of people would have described as a crazy conspiracy theory was unveiled, everyone has a moral duty to question things more, not less.

I think it's highly unlikely that there is no connections with the film after learning about the scale and abundance of similar operations and networks. The idea that eyes wide shut is completely detached from the concept of elite rituals is more implausible than the opposite, especially when that is undeniably the entire focus of the movie.

[@momog5615]

@@pokechamp3987 YES!!! Kubrick was a master and a genius. Art reveals truths. And each of his films were meticulously researched and true. Most of the topics are simply too deep for most people to fully comprehend. This is why all of his films get better with time as people come to see what this man had been saying all along. Not to mention what a mastermind he was at workin within the system while upending it. The most compelling “evidence” would be Scientology could have found him dangerous. Keep in mind he was with Tom Cruise, their wonder boy, and he was having him and Nicole do “psychoanalysis” with him. Last I check Scientology frowned on that. The coincidence of his daughter leaving for Scientology is also interesting. And they are well known to use various measures to bully and keep people in line. Not to mention all the bohemian grove and E Island types. Oh wait and MK Ultra which was exposed in clockwork. Or making a mockery of the war machine, CIA and FBI. Dude was a TROLL and I love him for it. Anyone who speaks the truth will be a wanted man. If they killed him or not is beside the point. Kubrick knew very well these groups wanted him dead.

You don't eliminate a threat after its done filming.

[@AVeryHeavyAgenda]

I'm still honestly baffled at what people think Kubrick was specifically exposing. Lets say in theory Kubrick knew about some secret sex cult in real life that disposed of one of their in-house 'workers' after a mysterious death and lets also say he had information this sex cult was actively trying to intimidate witnesses who knew about it. If Kubrick's film was suppose to expose this, he did a pretty poor job of pointing to anything specific enough to decode in a meanginful or concrete way. So why would he take the risk doing that but also refuse to fully directly expose it and instead just put a bunch of symbolic breadcrumbs hoping other people would figure it out. Part of me gets the fun people have trying to decode these things, but the part I don't get is when people take that gamified puzzle decoding into the realm of any kind of certainty.

Kubrick was quite paranoid allegedly, very intelligent obviously, very empathetic and maybe too sensitive, and these personality traits sometimes come with a certain degree of paranoia. I saw a documentary called "Stanley & Me", about a person that was his personal assistant for about 30 years, an Italian named Emilio D'Alessandro. He spoke about many stories and experiences with him, one of them about his love for animals, how he saved cats, dogs, donkeys, and adopted them at his England estate. He told a story about how one day, Kubrick saw outside his window a few dozen rabbits that were laying on his lawn, lots of them, laying still, and he immediately was convinced that someone poisoned them and thrown them in front of his house. His assistant had to reassure him that it was not the case, but he was not convinced until he clapped his hands and chased them away showing that they were just chilling near his house.

As I said many years ago. And still say today. If the studio did re-edit Eyes Wide Shut, what they could not hide, or missed, was that on the doors of the room that holds the private party is a repeated pattern. Tom Cruise walks in to discover what's really going on in this scene. It's a reversed version of the Process Church of the Final Judgement's logo. (amended from "inverted" to reversed.) The Process Church of the Final Judgement were a spin off from L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology. The thing he came up with after he and Jack Parsons incarnated the Whore of Babalon into human vessel in 1946. And were successful, which Aleister Crowley was not happy about. They based themselves in a very rich section of London (Mayfair). Then flew off to Mexico between September - November 1966, returned, and then the following year started setting up offices in America (San Francisco / New Orleans / Los Angeles / New York) Their name comes up with Sirhan Sirhan, the alleged assassin of Robert Kennedy. Their name comes up with Charles Manson. Their name comes up with The Son of Sam. Their name comes up with Paul McCartney (the Beatle who disappeared between September - November 1966, while his Beatle pals in India and Spain could not go to these locations without the press knowing it. Because they were Beatles.) The Process insist one of their members was on the Beatles payroll. When the Process willingly went to the FBI with any information they could give them about their association with Manson, the FBI went nah, we're not interested. ODD COINCIDENCES As said before, McCartney is the only Beatle who can go incognito without being detected by paparazzi. He visits San Francisco in the first week of April 1967. When George Harrison visits that area in the summer of 1967 EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT. The only one who seemed to know McCartney went there was their longtime road manager and p/a Mal Evans. Mal Evans would be gunned down years later by police officers. One being Lieutenant Charles Higbie. He was the investigating officer on the Sirhan Sirhan assassination. Sirhan Sirhan's lawyer was George E. Shibley. This is the same lawyer that visited Charles Manson just before his release from prison at the end of March 1967. That Manson and McCartney are in the same city, both associated with the same organisation is not enough. McCartney is also associated to Doris Day's son, Terry Melcher, who would be Apple's distributor in America. And also associated to Manson. On August 9th, 1969, The Beatles are seen crossing Abbey Road. Behind them is a Volkswagen Beetle with the registration ending 28IF. On the same day, in a different time zone, Tex Watson and other Family members are driving over to Doris Day's old house on Cielo in a car with the registration ending 281P. The last gift Roman Polanski presented to his wife Sharon Tate on her birthday was a car with the registration PGY 330. The rumour that McCartney died and was replaced began in September 1966. What people fail to notice is the amount of people that started dying around The Beatles, close friends, business associates. Beginning in September 1966. By the time August 1967 rolls around, there are 10 people dead by SUICIDE CAR ACCIDENT OVERDOSE MURDER For this many people to die of unnatural causes within a given year DEFIES THE LAWS OF PROBABILITY. Especially people who all know The Beatles personally, but may not know of one another, or have relationships with them. It's the same with the 35 people who died after JFK's assassination. Especially if you knew Jack Ruby. It does not stop in August 1967. It keeps going. It takes their manager in 1967. Their lawyer is dead by 1968. McCartney's former girlfriend's father, Richard Asher commits suicide in April 1969. They don't find him in his own house for 3 days. The Process Church of the Final Judgement, is a name that not many people know, but many roads lead back to them. And as said. Kubrick put their logo, reversed, in his movie. And one can say it's just a pattern on a door. Where does the door lead to I say. It leads to a secret society that will do bad things to you if you don't play along.

The JFK assassination was the dirty work of the Israel Lobby and the Jewish Mafiosi, which Jack Ruby - Rubenstein - was a part of. He ran a strip club as well as being a hired gun. A gangster for Zion. Sam Bloom, who was the chairman of the host committee for Kennedy's visit to Dallas, was undoubtedly involved as well. There's a lot more to this, so I recommend the book The Unspoken Kennedy Truth by Laurent Guyénot.

[@katskillz]

On the topic of Kubrick's health, I haven't seen anyone bring up that autobiography by Kubrick's long time driver/personal assisant. Italian guy, I forget his name and the name of the book. I read it years ago so I'm going on memory. What I do recall is that he had a sort of falling out with Kubrick for a number of years during the 90s, then came back to work for him during the shooting of EWS. So he was working for Kubrick on a personal day to day basis up to the end. He only wrote from his own observations, but the clear impression to me was of an aging man who was burning both ends of the candle stick with his crazy work scheduling, and had no sense of personal care and even being forgetful and negligent about basic aspects of hygiene and having down time. In other words, Kubrick became the example par excellence of no work-life balance. At his age, especially if there were pre existing risk factors cardiac wise, he truly seemed to be a ticking time bomb.

[@AVeryHeavyAgenda]

I havent read the book but other than his seemingly unhealthy lifestyle choices some of things he's described as doing sound pretty whacky, like this infamous story from Full Metal Jacket "While location scouting for the film Stanley Kubrick was driving his wife's new SUV around the countryside with cinematographer Douglas Milsome and R. Lee Ermey as passengers. At one point Kubrick noticed a potential location out his window, and became so distracted describing to Milsome how he wanted the location used in the film that he crashed the car into a six foot deep ditch, rolling the SUV onto its side. Undeterred, Kubrick continued talking about the location uninterrupted as they climbed out of the car and walked back home."

[@ryanjacobson2508]

"Room 237 suggests that Stanley Kubrick admitted to faking the moon landing through symbolism in The Shining, particularly in Room 237.

The fact that Rob has made it clear what he believes regarding this theory makes it hard to think that this will be a balanced assessment. Rob doesn't believe that there is missing/deleted footage, so it will be difficult for him to take a balanced approach to this idea. Personally, I think there's something to it (the possibility of missing footage and also of Kubrick being taken out). I still enjoyed the video and look forward to part 2!

[@varvarvarvarvarvar]

Why would you expect a balanced debate from a guy _monologuing?_ Don't you need at least two blokes for that? And why would you value an investigation that is biased towards being inconclusive (i.e. balanced)? This sounds so asinine to me but I love the idea of not seeing it that way. Rob's just thinking aloud, that's all he does. He puts all cards on the table: it doesn't make sense to him, but anyway, let's go through this step by step and see what we see. There's no theater, just thinking. Plain old boring thinking. Sometimes you start by genuinely having no idea, sometimes you have an intuition, sometimes you even have a believe. But once you start thinking through, it doesn't matter. You go over the information carefully and ask the questions, and try to answer these questions. I swear some people are simply put off by the sight of another man thinking...

[@collativelearning]

To ensure balance I've strived (and i'm confident I've succeeded) in making a much stronger case for the assassination and deleted sordid scenes theories than any other source out there. If you can find anyone who makes a better case for it (without making wild-imagination claims that they provide no evidence for) then please point me to it. I read something like 100 postings and articles, taking the best bits and even adding some research of my own from the Kubrick Archives, to prop the theories up as much as possible within the confines of evidence. This isn't a deceptive exercize. I use this approach in all of my work. I deliberately try to make the strongest case for and against an interpretation in turns before I publish my conclusion. Which is what everybody should do to overcome personal bias. But people don't tend to do this. They tend to pick a desired narrative first then cherry pick and ignore evidence and assumptions to fit what they want to believe. This is true of believers AND debunkers in many big debates. However, if I am being biased in this opening vid then you can demostrate it by pointing to key innacuracies and ommisions in how I've covered the topic so far. But, looking through the comments, virtually nobody is fact checking or disagreeing with any of the statements about evidence i've made, even though it's a partially adlibbed summary. Virtually nobody is fact-checking because I've sourced near enough everything (see the PDF article version for even more sources).

[@DeanKryton]

@varvarvarvarvarvar - ok, smart ass, debate wasn't the right word. A balanced view/assessment of both sides. And I didn't say I valued it, I said I enjoyed it. I also didn't say it would be biased towards being inconclusive. How can it be inconclusive when we haven't seen part 2 yet..? Rob has a different view, I didn't say that view was inconclusive, just that it was opposing the ideas put forth in this video. That's all. Rob's not just thinking aloud, and that isn't all he does. He shares his views and opinions, which are welcome and helpful when watching his videos. What are you talking about..? I respect Rob and wasn't put off at all by his thinking.

@collativelearning - I totally understand, Rob. And what you've said makes perfect sense. I wasn't having a go at you in any way, I just knew where you stood with this theory. Evidence is crucial in supporting any theory. You're absolutely right about that. But the old saying "there's no smoke without fire" - sometimes rings true as well. These theories/claims had to have come from somewhere. I'm more thinking about the missing footage and Kubrick's final cut being tampered with, which I find interesting.

You made a video a few months ago, where you explore how Nicholson owned the house where the Polanski crime was committed. The fact that he was in Chinatown, where the main plot involved incest. And in the video, there is also a reference of the 1975 One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, where his character was sent to prison for sleeping with an underage girl. "Doc, she was 15 years old going on 35 doc"...and it gets even more explicit, as you already know. And the creepy sexual coincidences for Nicholson do not end there. When Jack Nicholson was 37 years old, he discovered through an investigation that the woman he thought was his older sister, June, was actually his biological mother. June had given birth to Nicholson at a young age and allowed her parents to raise him as their child to avoid societal judgment. This revelation was confirmed after both June and her mother had already passed away, leaving Nicholson to process the truth without being able to discuss it with them.

25:30 Kubrick used to say that his movies can be interpreted in layers. I'm sure you remember him saying that about 2001. In Eyes Wide Shut the daughter gets taken away in the end, and on the surface level it can be interpreted that she's being taken to be sacrificed just like the prostitute was. The interpretation that it's about Kubrick's own daughter is also very plausible at the same time, but both are probably true. It makes the ending scarier too.

[@horaceosirian8993]

Kubrick's daughter became a Scientologist after EWS, ironically. I say ironically because obviously Tom Cruise is not only a Scientology victim, he's by far the most powerful Hollywood celebrity promoter of the cult. I also say ironically because IMO there's a good chance that Kubrick chose Cruise & Kidman to star in EWS in order to troll one or both of them; something I believe he's done several times in the past, with actors (Jack Nicholson in The Shining*), and collaborators (Arthur C. Clarke, on 2001 A Space Oddyssey**). Or possibly in order to de-program Cruise from Scientology, or...something. * Watch the behind the scenes footage shot by Kubrick and his daughter: Nicholson comes across as a serious douchebag, repeatedly gesturing at and doing various things involving his crotch, making suggestive comments, and in one scene, he completely ignores his co-star Shelly Duvall when she arrives on set one morning. ** Clarke was a massive pedo boy lover. I honestly believe he got into scuba diving (making documentaries on it, and creating a scuba diving business) in order to follow little boys around for hours, staring at their butts, legs, and in between their legs, as they moved them slowly up and down to kick their feet, from the perfect vantage point. Sounds weird, I know, but trust me, if you go down the Arthur C Clarke rabbit hole, it won't take long before you've amassed incontrovertible proof that he *_LOVED_* little boys. The death record of the son of the man who rented a house on his property to Clarke (a boy at the time), is a good place to start. Clarke is listed as his wife (?!). Quite the rabbit hole, eh? ;p

[@momog5615]

A direct link between Helena and the prostitute is the stuffed tiger on her bed, like the stuffed animals we see in the toy store. Likewise rewatching it I think it’s hinted at that the prostitute is only on the street to try to get some extra money to buy gifts for her child and that she is not a seasoned professional, her roommate who looks like her is however. Essentially we see these two woman as mirror opposites in switched “costumes.” The prostitute kisses like it’s a high school make out session (I thought hookers didn’t kiss on the lips) and she doesn’t keep track of time. She is too innocent to even say dirty words to bill regarding what she “recommends.” Compare this to bill’s immediate groping of her roommate (the real prostitute according to this theory). She knows Bill would be easy money so she is reluctant to tell him the truth. Making the prostitute another female sacrifice in the movie.

My big question that I always ask in regards to this movie is; WHY does Kubrick focus on subtle yet clear themes of Child “S” x Trffking in relation to a seemingly obvious critique towards the upper echelons of elite society?

And as you’ve mentioned yourself before I believe rob, almost all of Kubrick’s films from the 50s onwards have addressed the theme of power and the way it corrupts people.

They are essential in Magical Practices, in Satanic Rituals and when i heard this my attention immediately skyrocketed bc. altough i am absolutely not a Practionier of any Magic or Rituals but studied Occultism to some extent to get a better understanding about this. It's more a thing of "know your Enemy and what he's about" then anything else but again, this is not really evidence but at least for a strong indicator that my Hero Stanley didn't die under natural circumstances. It's so sad, Kubrick was completely unique, incredibly creative and his Masterpieces will always remain an essential part of the 20th Century's cultural heritage.

There's also the strange stuffs with Vitali, his long time assistant. Who played the masked dark master, and was even mentionned on the newspaper of the murder of the prostitute. He did the final cut after Kubrick's death. He got some rights to the movie IIRC. He died in 2021. Why was Vitali all around this movie??? I've tried to look for Vitali's on the net, but could not find anything, except he was his assistant since the movie 2001. Maybe he was some kind of spy for the studios to keep Kubrick in line, I don't know.. But specially the fact that his name was written in the newspaper in the movie... It's very strange. Also the magic box we see in the finals scenes at the shop, is a very rare one. It's made by the magic society, and King Charles is an official member of that society. Aaaand here we are with prince Andrew, Epstein, etc... It's interesting how many strange things you can connect with this movie...

[@varvarvarvarvarvar]

The subject that the movie revolves around, the elite closde clubs with elaborate rituals and access tiers, has been created by royalty as a tool for informal management of a centralised state. That's why it's a matter of public discussion in France, the birthplace of a modern centralised state. Vitali was definitely an English curator over Kubrick but he was, by all accounts, a friend as well. Kubrick's portrayal is a caricature anyway thus it wasn't problematic. If they wanted to shut down the production, they had YEARS to do it.

[@miltonbates6425]

A very thorough and thoughtful analysis. I will say that Frederic Raphael is not exactly a trustworthy source as to many of the claims he makes about his work with Kubrick because there is really no independent and trustworthy individual to corroborate those claims. His book reads like that of a jilted ex-employee that is covering for someone that's still in the organization. At least that's the vibe I often got while reading his book.

[@collativelearning]

Definitely. I thought it was a horrible book in places. In his defense Kubrick boxed him into a corner with blindfolds, which he did with virtually every "co-writer", but ... Raphael signed the contract and he got paid. Don't like the conditions, don't sign up!!!

[@F_ckAllTrumpVoters]

​@@collativelearning Raphael's jealousy stems from his own unfulfilled career as a writer. He was supposed to be a "next big thing" in the literary world and it never happened. He was brought in by Kubrick as an employee and not the Equal intellect which Raphael clearly thought of himself. It built resentment. Stephen King went through the treatment and response. Malcolm McDowell did to a degree as well. Raphael's post-mortem attack reveals his actual character. Which is Garbage.

[@geoffreywillars1032]

There IS some corroboration. Michael Herr's book Kubrick was written and released to give an alternative view by one of his other collaborators. And it unwittingly confirmed every single trait Raphael alleged. Herr's book was an agenda driven own-goal.
