Tech Wiz




Pirates of Silicon Valley. An astonishing film about two of the most successful men in the world. Fathers of technology, brilliant minds and also great businessmen. The story of Bill Gates, the pioneer of Microsoft, and Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple Inc. The film tells about the process of these two companies rising towards the top and how they are connected to each other.

I'm actually quite shocked when I watched this movie yesterday during our movie screening. I didn't know that the both of these influential figures had high temper. From my point of view, leaders are supposed to be patient, kind, understanding etc2. Nevertheless, in this movie, both characters portray a role which is contrast to the points which I've stated above, especially the kind and understanding part.

Even though this movie is full of negative vibes, I have to agree with one thing. When dealing with business, ones mind must be quicker than the competitor. For example in this film, the way Bill Gates steals the idea from Steve Jobs and manipulating with it thus making his product a much more valuable asset to be sold to the world. Steve Jobs is an intelligent man but for me, Bill Gates would be the most ultimate tycoon. Using his cunning mind to manipulate a competitor to make profit is just smart.

In conclusion, I've learned that in doing business, one must be very smart, quick to outdo the rival, be cunning and always have the advantages in ones hands. Cheating as we know it is not a good thing to do but in order to survive in this vast world, some considerations must be put to thought.

The Pianist



The Pianist is a film directed by Roman Polanski based on a true story of a professional pianist named Wladyslaw Szpilman. Szpilman was a pianist who plays for radio stations and restaurants. On top of that, Szpilman and his family were Jews living in Warsaw during the start of WW2. This story shows on how Szpilman went through some tough times during the German invasion in Warsaw. In this movie, we can see the cruelty of the Nazis towards to Jewish community at that time. Jews being murdered again and again despite no harm was demonstrated by the Jews. In my opinion, some of the acts in this movie portrayed by the Nazis were absolutely disgusting. I do believe that the Jews might harm the world's economy and having a conspiracy of their own, but to label the Jews with armbands, throwing an old man out the balcony is just pure evil.

A scene in the movie where some of the Jews are about to be killed.


Apart from the violence, viewers may rate this movie as a very emotional piece. I myself shed a few tears when I was watching from a different view away from the others. One may also benefit some values from this film as it shows the ups and downs of life, what it feels like to be separated from ones family by force, to live in hunger, poor shelters and many more. From my point of view, this film has taught me a lot. It is a very good piece and I recommend that you watch it, if you haven't that is.

Secret Societies

There are many secret societies in this world and many are known. Despite the existence of these societies, some give benefits, while some does not. Examples of a secret society include The Mafia, Chinese Triads, Japanese Yakuza, 18 TOP etc2. Those are the ones that are known but the ones who have been here the longest and has effectively covered their tracks. Some say they are a myth, while some can point out to the evidence that they are around us. What do we know about them? We have all heard stories. The Knights Templar, checkered floors, ladders, angles and many more.

The Illuminati

Freemasons


The Illuminati / Free Masons
These are secret societies that has been established since the 17th century and has been with us all the time.
It is said that the objective of these secret societies is to control and dominate the world's economy. They work very deviously in order to get their objectives done.

They intend to create a new world order in which they'll control.With an estimated 6 million members in their society. Probably one of the most biggest secret societies to ever walk the planet.
As cunning people, they believe in many things that are not normal.

Checkered Floors
The Eye of Horus

These are some of the things that they believe in. Checkered floors are needed for the rituals that they conduct and the eye of Horus is said to be their god. The Illuminati / Free mason signs are everywhere. For example the checkered floors which I've mentioned earlier, a pentagram, ladders, the all seeing eye (Horus).

American 1 Dollar Note

Notice the eye on top of the pyramid? That's the all seeing eye a.k.a the eye of Horus. The writing "Novus Ordo Seclorum" means "New World Order" similar to the objective of the Illuminati / Free Masons.
The word Annuit Coeptis means Providence has favoured our undertakings. 
The Illuminati / Free Masons are seen as a threat to everyone is some eyes. Some say its real while some people don't believe in such a thing.

Third Reich


Much is known about the infamous Adolf Hitler. Despite all the stories of the holocaust and dictatorship, let us venture more into the life of this cunning yet charismatic leader.

The Fuhrer, as the people call him, Adolf Hitler was the first born son of Alois and Klara Hitler. He had 4 other siblings but only he and his younger sister Paula survived to be adults.

Hitler’s main passion was arts. He’d always wanted to be an artist. When he turned 18, he applied to a few art based institutions but sadly, they were all turned down. Later Hitler joined the German Army during the First World War where he had the chance to prove himself to be worthy of something. He was a despatch runner delivering important messages. He did this job in a very successful manner up to the point where his general promoted him to the rank “Corporal”.

In October 1918, Hitler was blinded in a British mustard gas attack which blinded him thus having himself admitted in a military hospital. His condition improved gradually but during the period of the healing, Hitler would be in a deep state of depression, often crying and avoiding contact will people.

After the war, Hitler was stationed in Munich, the capital of Bavaria. While Hitler was in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, Kurt Eisner, leader of the Independent Socialist Party, declared Bavaria a Socialist Republic. Hitler was appalled by the revolution. As a German Nationalist he disagreed with the socialist belief in equality.

Hitler viewed socialism as a Jewish conspiracy. Not only that, but during the time of that period, many of the socialist leaders were Jews, including Karl Marx who is known to be the father of the capitalism.

The Jews had been persecuted for centuries and therefore were attracted to a movement that proclaimed that all men and women deserved to be treated as equals. That was among the reasons why the Jews joined socialist and communists parties.

 Karl Marx

In February 1920, the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) published its first programme which became known as the "25 Points". Hitler's reputation as an orator grew and it soon became clear that he was the main reason why people were joining the party. This gave Hitler tremendous power within the organization as they knew they could not afford to lose him.



The German Army also began using Hitler as a spy. In September 1919, he was instructed to attend a meeting of the German Worker's Party (GWP). The leader, Anton Drexler was impressed by Hitler's passion whilst giving speeches. This got him the invitation not only to be a member in the party, but Hitler was appointed as the party's propaganda manager.


Anton Drexler

As time flew by many people would come to hear the speech of this passionate man. Hitler would always appear late during speeches, standing still to wait for the crowd to go silent, only then will he start his passionate yet persuading speech.

Many people were inspired by Adolf Hitler and on 24th February, 1920, the NSDAP (National Socialist German Worker’s Party), later nicknamed the Nazi Party held a mass rally where it announced its new programme. The rally was attended by over 2,000 people, a great improvement on the 25 people who were at Hitler's first party meeting.

Hitler knew that the party grew stronger because of his abilities. Not long after that, Hitler challenged Drexler for the leadership of the party. After hesitating, Drexler approved and that day was the day "The Fuhrer" was born.
