This video takes a look at Russia's invasion of Ukraine and shows how world events are in sync with the release of the new Batman movie and trailers for Bullet Train and The Lost City.
While making the video I noticed a few interesting syncs which had to be left on the cutting room floor so thought I'd use this space to share a few of the juicier ones.
In my new video Nicolas Cage personifies Russia while Jared Leto represents Ukraine. The lines are a little blurred at times but that's the general gist.
In the movie Vampire's Kiss Nicolas Cage is bitten by a Vampiress but
isn't actually transformed. He becomes infatuated with the idea of
becoming a Vampire (wearing fake teeth/sleeping in a coffin etc) which
mirrors Putin's obsession with Ukraine. He can't have it but that's not
going to stop him from trying.
Quite early on in the making of my new video I noticed that the Red Hand was quite prominent. I kept seeing it on the news in relation to protests against the invasion and it also appears in the Morbius trailer. I've looked at Red Hand syncs a few times on this blog so it was something I kept an eye on.
Brad Pitt also embodies Russia however his lines are even blurrier as quite a few of his syncs cross over into Ukraine territory.
In Interview with the Vampire he sometimes uses the hand to deliver the Kiss of Death.
In Fight Club there's a tense scene where Pitt kisses Ed Norton's hand in prep for a chemical burn.
In another scene a bashed up Jared Leto confronts Norton and we see that's he's also received the Vampire's Kiss:
Leto in Suicide Squad.
Will Smith has been making the headlines lately due to his Oscar slap so it was interesting to find Leto kissing his bald noggin in this Suicide Squad poster:
Will and the Bat.
Let's go off on a tangent for a second by looking at these Tweets from Jake Kotze @Seallion:
The SEAL leads to Ukraine via their insignia which is a Seal-Trident.
The coat of arms of Ukraine is a blue shield with a gold trident. Officially referred to as the Emblem of the Royal State of Volodymyr the Great, or, colloquially, the tryzub (Ukrainian: Тризуб), the insignia derives from the seal-trident of Volodymyr, the first Grand Prince of Kyiv.
If we go back a few steps and look at that scene from Fight Club where Leto confronts Norton then we find reference to the Trident.
Unite the Seven Seals
In the Immortals movie Poseidon is played by actor Kellan Lutz.
Kellan is Robert Pattinson's blood sucking brother in the Twilight movies.
I like this Neptune/Poseidon connection as I've been seeing a number of syncs lately involving water but I'm not sure what to make of them.
Random thought: the bAT is the TAP - from which all things flow.
While making Ukraine Bites the Bullet I came to the realisation that the Vampire/Batman represents 'The Dark Knight of the Soul' that Ukraine (and on a macro-level: our planet) is currently experiencing.
On a micro-level it's similar to the one which Will Smith is living through as his career detonates.
The Trident is also a name for this nuclear missile.
Now in a round about way this leads me to the final synchronicity I wanted to talk about in this post.
If you want to look at an 'end of the world' scenario then Nic Cage is your man.
In Knowing the beginning of the end kicks off with the burial of a time capsule.
Fast forward to 2009 and Nic Cage watches on as they bring it out of the ground.
On the surface this time capsule is just a cannister full of historical trinkets, but from a sync perspective, and with the presence of Nic Cage, it also resonates with the Bullet.
Which we see in the intro sequence of my new video.
Nic Cage's son receives a letter encoding the end of all things.
While other kids receive pictures of bullets/trident missiles.
In The Rock (a nod to Chris) Sean Connery helps Nicolas Cage track down the time capsule/bullet/trident/nuke in order to prevent disaster.
This time there's a ball of green pearls inside.
Now the deadly green pearls didn't really mean much to me until I read this revealing Tweet by Jake:
Heston is also a Lord of War (nod to the time capsule, bottom left, which has now been opened 😮)

Update - 10/04/22
Earlier today I was thinking about Sean Connery and his role as James Bond in 'From Russia with Love' when it dawned on me that the Trident appears in the opening sequence of No Time To Die.
It also clicked that Jeffrey Wright, who played Commissioner Gordon in The Batman, is Felix.
Felix meets Bond in a bar and his conversation syncs with the tag line from the Morbius trailer:
Felix presents Bond with a mission to find a Russian scientist, which he reluctantly accepts, and he finds himself at Blofeld's birthday party surrounded by SPECTRE agents.
Blofeld watches the event remotely through an eyeball and makes the guests aware of Bonds presence.
Thanks to the meddling of the Russian scientist their plan to kill Bond backfires and all of the SPECTRE agents die.
Bond chases the Russian to the rooftop where we see that the party was being held in EL NIDO.
Considering that Blofeld has been watching everything unfold though an Eyeball we can spin NIDO to become ODIN.
Was the Odin connection a deliberate choice by the director? Who knows...and it doesn't really matter.
From a sync perspective it's a bulls-eye as this brings in Anthony Hopkins (World War Zorro) and ties in with the whole End of the World vibe (Ragna-rock):
So is there any reference to the Time Capsule or Bullet in No Time To Die?
Well yes there is, and it comes in the form of this Q Dar cannister.
What is the Q Dar in No Time To Die?
Q DAR is a fictional system that used unspecified parts of the electromagnetic spectrum to create three-dimensional maps of geological and manmade structures. As its name implies, the technology was developed by Q-Branch; the research and development division of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6).Bond and Nomi infiltrate the island and set up the Time Capsule.
M watches remotely and asks - "Which one's Bond?"
Q - "He's the Trident thingy"
This enforces the idea that the Time Capsule, the Bullet and Trident (Missile) are all one and the same.
All grim pointers towards nuclear war.
Which brings us briefly to Rami Malek who plays the villain in No Time to Die.
Malek crosses paths with Jared Leto in The Little Things and also syncs with the Red Hand via his role in Da Sweet Blood of Jesus.
The moment Bond realises that the time has finally arrived.
Malek is also due to star in Christopher Nolan's new movie Oppenheimer.
I'd like to end this post by taking a look at the final image from my video.
I think the Westworld poster is powerful because it sums up our situation in a nice neat package. It shows the Vampire/Batman (symbolic of Ukraine and the Western world) impaled on it's own sword, staked in the heart, if our leaders don't tread the path ahead very carefully. Nuclear war is now a very real possibility and if Ukraine falls then the (Adam) West falls with it and we'll all be kicked out of The Garden.
Looking at it again I can now see that the stake is also the three-pronged Trident. It's the missile or bullet or time capsule, or whatever you want to call it, that could bring our civilisation to it's knees.
Now I don't want to finish off on a depressing note, even though our current predicament does appear to be dire, because I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. There's too much to say about it right now but over the last year I've been working on a series of videos which gives me hope for the future.
All I can say right now is that I beliEVE it will come in the form of the Goddess energy.
My hope is that when you watch the new videos you'll find that they ring true.
If Will Smith's outburst can teach us anything it's that the toxic power-hungry male energy governing this planet needs to take a step back...
...so that the female energy can lead the way.
