Out of Shadows

Here’s Everything That’s Wrong With The Out Of Shadows Documentary

This is the commentary of someone who kinda senses they're being subjected to religious propaganda, but doesn't want to come right out and say so:

"I also have an issue with Out Of Shadows’ obsession with Satanism and its religious and political leanings.
The documentary has very close ties to the Christian faith, which is problematic.
This documentary was made by people who are very Christian, and that’s fine.
However, I feel like this does get in the way of the actual story here because they’re so focused on the religious aspects and not the bigger picture.
You have to think about who made this documentary and what their goals were.
Was it to inform, or was it to influence? I feel that it was the latter in Out Of Shadows’ case.
The reason I say this is because the documentary doesn’t really inform us all that much."

Do you really trust the "far right", which is riddled with pornography addiction, misogyny, male supremacy and sexual abuse scandals, to be the arbiters if righteousness leading the charge against immorality and perversion?

Far-Right Communities are Pushing a Q-Anon Film

"Called Out of Shadows, the film alleges wide-ranging manipulation and abuse coordinated by political elites and media sites. Donnelly and Newhouse observed that the QAnon community—supporters of a violent right-wing fringe ideology—are predominantly responsible for spreading the film and making discussion of it go viral across social media platforms."

"Disinformation Patterns

Discussions surrounding the video espoused and spread narratives very similar to those pushed by state-backed actors during the 2016 election cycle. While there is not conclusive evidence that this campaign was the result of a foreign information operation, the timing, implementation of the narrative source, and prominent actors involved in the immediate larger discussion suggest that automated and professional disinformation strategies were employed. For example, QAnon, Pizzagate, and the radical-right anti-government community online have all been supported by state-backed efforts in the past. It has also been shown that far-right extremists, especially among conspiracy theory communities, have learned from Russia’s state-sponsored disinformation efforts. In addition, as is shown below, several of the most prominent users in the Twitter network for this trend show signs of bot-like and automated activity.

"Further, the Out Of Shadows trend appears to be primarily targeting younger communities, as it has gained immense popularity on non-traditional platforms like TikTok. Deeper study must be done on this trend, because such campaigns targeting the youth are particularly pernicious and could suggest a change in the overarching strategy of disinformation actors.

"The narratives pushed by this discourse have already inspired several successful violent attacks and many other attempted attacks. The QAnon and Pizzagate theories consistently and aggressively demonize politicians, media figures, and even non-celebrities, casting them as satanic, evil, and participants in horrific crimes. The Out of Shadows discussion likely aims to give legitimacy to a theory that had been flagging in the public consciousness in recent months, and to advance the goal of tying media figures and politicians to an insidious plot to destroy American values."

Notice the Christian symbolism and the Bible verse. So familiar to those of us who were made to watch slick propaganda films about how rock music is of the devil, back-masking, abortion, creation, and climate change denialism. As a Christian, this really grieves me. They make God in their own image and consider Him to be their personal henchman that they can sic onto their political opponents. This is NOT what the Kingdom of Heaven is really about.



"The Out of Shadows documentary has sparked a wide-ranging and viral disinformation campaign, dedicated to the demonization of political elites and media sources. It has breathed momentum back into the QAnon community, which had experienced a series of setbacks as its conspiracy theories were consistently disproven. The reach of this particular discussion, especially its virality on TikTok and Twitter, indicate that QAnon ideology may be breaking through into new, younger audiences. Considering QAnon’s history of inspiring violent acts, this is a dangerous trend that should be closely monitored.

"On Twitter, the #outofshadows hashtag has developed a network that seems to be heavily influenced by automated and suspicious activity. The patterns of behavior–such as tweeting at high frequencies, mentioning large numbers of users, and mutual retweet relationships–indicate intentional disinformation strategies are being used to amplify the message. Finally, this network has spread the documentary far further than it would have otherwise, as users encourage each other to share and mirror it on other platforms."

Questioning ‘Out of Shadows’ - A Deep Dive into an Exposé Documentary

 "Discussion of PizzaGate leads to discussion about Jeffery Epstein, an incredibly wealthy man who ran a pedophilia ring for over 20 years. Epstein was closely related to many important people in Hollywood and politics; the documentary names a few: Prince Andrew, Naomi Campbell, Kevin Spacey, and Bill and Hillary Clinton. After being arrested in July 2019, Epstein died as a high-risk prisoner by an apparent suicide only a month later. Epstein’s sexual abuse ring was NOT a conspiracy - unlike PizzaGate. Dozens of survivors of Jeffery Epstein have come forward. Notably, the documentary does not mention President Donald Trump during the discussion of Epstein despite undeniable connections between Epstein and Trump. 

 
Near the end of the documentary, Crokin says the bigger question is ‘who else is involved with Epstein?’ and says that’s what PizzaGate is. PizzaGate is a whole separate scandal from Epstein; just because they are similar, does not mean you can interchange the details of either. 


Although it’s not mentioned in the video, it’s important to note that the news companies Crokin worked with were right-leaning. Crokin explicitly identifies as a Trump supporter on her Instagram page. Shipp and Smith appear to be conservatively outspoken on their social media pages, as well. I could not find social media pages associated with Brad Martin. Additionally, if you go to the official website, the first thing you will notice is a cross. Shipp has recently criticized Roy Cooper, Governor of North Carolina, for being “anti-Christian” on Twitter. 

It may not be obvious from only watching the documentary, but with a little of outside research, it’s clear this documentary serves a conservative and Christian agenda."



Please be careful not to hand yourself over to America's right wing fundamentalist Christian Patriarchy movement. They are the authors of these conspiracies, not because they're so "woke" but because they're deflecting away from systemic sexual abuse and porn addiction within their own hierarchy. They are not the arbiters of morality, truth or liberty. They are a bunch of narcissistic wankers who hate women and hate God's creation. I recognize the devices used in the 'Out of Shadows' doco from countless other lies, delusions and deceptions they've peddled, in their " culture wars" down through the decades. Quiverful, demons, the rapture, Back-masking, male headship, the Jezebel spirit, Y2K, Pizzagate, Sandy Hook was a hoax and the Parkland kids were crisis actors, Obama wasn't born in USA, Hillary's emails, Oprah's tunnels, Qanon, boogaloo. It's NOT TRUTH. It's deliberate manipulation of the credulous populous to push an extreme hard right, racist, misogynist, anti-environment political and social agenda.
