Stanley Kubrick and MK-Ultra: An Analysis by Kirby Sommers
/
Stanley Kubrick’s film ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ is rich with symbols of the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) MK-Ultra program. I will be covering only two of his notable films ‘Lolita’ and ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ and will begin with the latter and the man wearing a Bob Hope mask who is trying to get Dr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) to leave the mysterious masked illuminati party at the mansion.
It had not been my intention to start with Bob Hope until I tweeted a very simple statement about the mask and was surprised to see people rush in to defend him. Some insisted the mask was actually Richard Nixon. Apparently, Bob Hope’s role in MK-Ultra is still to present day a sensitive topic the government doesn’t want anyone to analyze or expose.
The man wearing the Bob Hope mask is part of “security” and he asks Dr. Harford, “Are you the gentleman with the taxi waiting for him?”
In the book ‘Thanks for the Memories’ written by Brice Taylor she claims Bob Hope was her MK-Ultra handler and used her as a sex slave under the MK-Ultra program. The man with the Bob Hope face mask in Kubrick’s film is also a “handler”. Kubrick does not pull punches when using symbolism in his films. Brice Taylor revealed in her autobiography that she was a mind-controlled slave from childhood into young adulthood and used as a sex slave by high ranking political individuals throughout the world. Some of the men she’s named are former President Ronald Reagan, former President Lyndon B. Johnson, former President George Bush, former President Gerald Ford, and that Henry Kissinger and Nelson Rockefeller used her to blackmail certain individuals. People she claims that were either “very wealthy” or had “a lot of talent”. “Money,” she claimed “was the motivating factor”.
This sounds similar to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s child sex trafficking ring. Those who follow my work know that I believe Epstein was using MK-Ultra methods on the young teenagers and woman that were ensnared in the trafficking ring that sexually serviced elite men throughout the world.
People believe Stanley Kubrick exposed too many of the elite’s secrets in ‘Eyes Wide Shut’. Six days after making final edits on the film in 1999 he died in his sleep. The police were called to his rural home north of London. One of them told the press “There are no suspicious circumstances.” It was later added that Kubrick died of a heart attack. Kubrick’s family declined to comment in the aftermath of his death. He was 70 years old.
What is known about the mysterious Kubrick is that he was born in New York and that throughout his life he was a staunch “New Yorker” – this despite the fact that in 1974 he settled permanently in England and refused to give any further interviews. He was such a recluse that an impersonator got away with saying he was the real Stanley Kubrick.
Stanley Kubrick was born on July 26, 1928 in the Bronx – one of the five neighborhoods in New York City. His family was upper middle class and his father was a physician. To keep the young inquisitive boy busy his father encouraged him to take up photography. We all owe his father a debt of gratitude because without that early hobby we wouldn’t have the treasure trove of films he left us.
Once Kubrick achieved a certain level of success he worked on a film based on Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita” – where a middle-aged man played by James Mason becomes obsessed with the 14-year-old Lolita (Sue Lyon). It should be noted that in the book the character is 12 and because of the censoring Lolita was made two years older in the film. Jeffrey Epstein had multiple copies of the book ‘Lolita’ which he prominently displayed in his many homes. It was used by him as a “tell” – Epstein made sure his guests saw the book; and in Kubrick’s films there were many “tells” of something being greatly amiss in the world of the elites.
‘Lolita’ perhaps more than Kubrick’s other work, is directly related to pedophilia. The evil and duplicity of Humbert is seen in his manipulation and grooming of Dolores (Lolita) – which anyone who has followed the Jeffrey Epstein case has heard replicated and retold by some of his victims as having experienced when they were minors.
Tigers, leopards and lions are MK-Ultra references – just as much as butterflies. Especially with mind-controlled sex slaves. In ‘Lolita’ we see her mother Charlotte (Shelley Winters) wearing a leopard spotted blouse which is symbolic of the multi-generational trauma abuse. Mother and daughter having a conversation – but it is no ordinary conversation. It is a visual tell that Lolita is a second generation (or perhaps even third generation) sex slave.
In the final scene after Quilty is shot by Humbert he is laying on the floor next to a tiger’s head. And if you recall the closing scene of ‘Eyes Wide Shut when Bill and his wife Alice are in the toy store with their little girl there is a row of large stuffed tigers. More references to the mind control program.
One of the names to be revealed in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein child trafficking scandal is Prince Andrew. The now embattled prince with former president of the United States, Bill Clinton, both lobbied the U.S. government for a better deal during the 2006 negotiations on behalf of pedophile predator Epstein.
In the film ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ one of the two women who approach Dr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) at Victor Ziegler’s (Sydney Pollack) Christmas party and attempt to entice him to follow them introduces herself as Nuala Windsor. The Windsor name is an obvious link to the royal family in the United Kingdom and the House of Windsor who hold power to present day. There could be no better reference to “the elite” than the Windsor name.
Bill: You’re absolutely right. Where we going, girls?
Nuala (laughs) “Where the rainbow ends.”
(Bill slows down his step a little.)
Gayle: “Don’t you want to go where the rainbow ends?”
Bill: “Do I want to go where the rainbow ends?”
The film is based on Arthur Schnitzler’s book ‘Traumnovelle’ (‘Dream Story’) and stars then married couple Tom Cruise as Bill with Nicole Kidman as Alice.
In that scene Bill asks the girls where they are taking him and they tell him “Where the rainbow ends”. The rainbow motif is used throughout the film and once again it is a reference to the diabolical program used on unsuspecting children and people.
It should be noted that the film ‘The Wizard of Oz’ with a young Judy Garland as Dorothy also has MK-Ultra references. The song ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ is thought to be used as a trigger to awaken mind-controlled slaves. A 1952 memo for one of the MK-Ultra mind control programs named ‘Project Artichoke’ states: “The aim is controlling an individual to the point where he will do out bidding against his will and even against such fundamental laws as self- preservation.”
So much has been written about this film that it should be obvious to many the name Alice conjures up ‘Alice in Wonderland’. Lewis Carroll initially named it ‘Alice’s Adventures Underground’ which is a nod to an occult-ritual initiation. The name “Alice” means truth in Greek and so that Alice can be interpreted as a goddess like figure. When the film opens we see Alice naked in their bedroom - her body is similar to the circle of naked girls in the ritual scene Bill observes at the masked party. They are all slim, tall, with alabaster skin. Like robots. Alice’s character tries to separate herself by telling Bill that she, too, has desires and so she tells him of her dream with the Naval officer and many other men. But, is she trying to be different or is she revealing something that actually happens? The fact that it is a “Naval” officer is another government related symbol.
One cannot help but to notice the many mirrors used in this film and the way Alice seems to always peer into them. This appears to be a reference to ‘Alice Through the Looking-Glass’ which is Lewis Carroll’s sequel to ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
The mansion used for the film in a perhaps not ironic twist is Mentmore Towers – which was built for Baron Mayer de Rothschild as a place to house his extensive art collection. The Rothschild scions have held ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ themed masked parties since the 1970s and perhaps earlier. For Kubrick to have included an actual home built for the banking family that is strongly associated with the illuminati and MK-Ultra is no accident.

I want to take a moment to delve into the character of Victor Ziegler who the audience meets in ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ when he asks Bill to help him when Mandy overdoses in his bathroom. It is important to point out that “Mandy” is routinely described by others who have written about this film as a “prostitute,” but I wish to point out – she is, in fact, one of many “sex-slaves”. There is a difference. She is one of the many women programmed to gather information from wealthy and powerful men in order to help the government with their “greater agenda” via their MK-Ultra program. And, how better for Kubrick to interpret this than with a drug over-dose?
Ziegler appears to be a middle-man. A Jeffrey Epstein type man. Someone who in one of the final scenes with the billiards table Ziegler tells Bill that he almost screwed it up for him when he infiltrated the orgy. “Who do you think those people were? Those were not just some ordinary people. If I told you their names….no, I’m not going to tell you their names…but if I did, I don’t think you’d sleep so well at night.
He is clearly not one of “those people” – he is rather someone who serves “those people”. A front-man who makes a good living helping “those people” and keeping their secrets – perhaps similar to someone like Bob Hope or Jeffrey Epstein.
In conclusion, Bill and Alice’s young daughter serves as a reminder that she, too, is going to be used by the elite. We see tale-tell signs when she holds up the Barbie with the wings (so similar to Leslie Wexner’s Victoria’s Secret, frankly); and when she walks off in the toy store with the two men we first saw at Victor Ziegler’s party.
That scene tells us all there is no end to the MK-Ultra program – none – it continues. If you want into the world of the elite, and Bill and Alice Harford definitely want in – there is a price to be paid.
Stanley Kubrick was a master in the use of symbols and the mask of Bob Hope in ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ should rank next to his Apollo 11 moon landing references in his film ‘The Shining’.
