Grand Theft Culture: The entertainment industry goes for the jugular

Grand Theft Culture: The entertainment industry goes for the jugular...

"And many parents shall be murdered by their own children! And why? Because you all failed to recognize what is happening before your very eyes: your children are being programmed to kill. A steady dies of violence will lead to the spirit being dulled and the sensitivity being dulled until even murder is condoned, with all manner of rationalizing for the commission of this sin against your God and all mankind." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 13, 1978

LifeSiteNews.com reported on May 2, 2008:

The debut of "Grand Theft Auto IV", a highly-realistic video game in which players "win" by committing violent criminal acts, is notable for several reasons, but most importantly because of what it says about a society that is engaged in an orgy of self-destruction, and cannot even recognize what is happening.

The Grand Theft Auto series makes the player into a criminal who wins points by stealing cars, assassinating rivals, killing police, running over pedestrians, and even murdering a prostitute with a baseball bat rather than paying her. It is, in short, a game that glorifies brutal criminality and enables players to fantasize their participation in mind-numbing barbarism.

The fact alone that Grand Theft Auto IV is expected to earn more than $400 million during its run, rivaling the most popular movie releases, speaks volumes about what has happened to the U.S. during the last fifty years. What would once have seemed like a blatant and massive assault on our society by a commercial interest, is now a blockbuster form of entertainment.

Mainstream publications such as Business Week yawn at the moral objections raised against such software, and instead rave about the realistic graphics, referring to the game as "Grand Theft Awesome". "We have a hard time imagining anyone picking up this game and not feeling like this is one of the best $60 purchases they've made in a long time," says the reviewer, seemingly unconcerned that he is talking about a murder simulator.

The new version of the game and the mentality it promotes have already claimed their first victim. A man standing in line waiting to purchase the game on the first night of sales in south London stabbed a passer-by. "It was a scene straight from the game itself," said one witness.

"Grand Theft Auto", as monstrous as it is, is only a single example of the Culture of Death that is overwhelming what is left of Anglo-American civilization.

For decades, moviemakers and broadcasters have competed with one another to create the most perverse and shocking kinds of violence, explicit sexual scenes, and human degradation that the mind can imagine. The music industry has fed generations of teenagers and young adults with music that glorifies murder, rape, and every kind of immorality.

Americans watch, stupefied, as children and adults who were fed on this poisoned cultural diet enter their schools, workplaces and even their churches and open fire against their peers, attempting to kill as many people as possible before taking their own lives. Such events never happened before the modern cultural onslaught from the electronic media, despite the availability of firearms, but virtually no one seems to make the connection.

The violence that increasingly appears in public places is only a pale reflection of the atrocities that occur thousands of times a week in "clinics" across the United States, where doctors tear babies to pieces inside their own mothers wombs, and in hospitals, where the sick and infirm are put to death in cold utilitarian fashion.

"Grand Theft Auto IV", is, simply put, a symptom of a civilization in decline, a society that is being consumed by the Culture of Death. The fact that the symptom goes virtually unrecognized tells us how advanced the illness is. The utter moral debasement of the Anglophone world can only presage its eventual political, economic, and military collapse, following the iron law of history that the fall of a civilization is always preceded by internal decay.

The only question left is: how much longer can a society last after having reached such depths of depravity? Sadly, we can only wait, and watch, hoping that somehow the United States and its cultural satellites will awaken before it is too late.

On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries of the world. They are in possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
