JG Ballard's Masterpiece!

How Steven Spielberg Altered JG Ballard’s ‘Empire of the Sun’! (22.2.2024)

The US film producer Steven Spielberg – I assume is a Zionist – and an ardent anti-Socialist. The British ‘puppet’ comedy programme (from the 1980s) entitled ‘Spitting Image’ (a play on words from ‘Splitting Image’) once produced a sketch featuring Spielberg. Following a knock on his door – Spielberg’s Assistant finds hundreds of bags of money trying to push their way into his home! The Assistant cries, ‘Oh my God! Its more money!’ Spielberg calmly replies, ‘Start burning it!’ I think this captured something of the reality of Spielberg’s character. I was appalled by ‘Schindler’s List’ – Spielberg’s masterpiece about the Hitlerite oppression and destruction of European Jewry – partly because it omits all the other victims of Hitler genocidal madness (the Gays, Communists, Gypsies, Dissidents, Disabled and Race-Mixers, etc) – and partly because as a Zionist with an agenda, Spielberg deliberately excises out of history the suffering of the Soviet people and the sacrifices of the Red Army (41 million Soviet men, women and children were killed and wounded between 1941-1945)! Spielberg denies the fact that the majority of the Death Camps were ‘Liberated’ by the Soviet Red Army and the surviving victims cared for and looked after by these Socialist soldiers! Spielberg goes one step further and fully aligns himself with the auspices of US anti-intellectualism and attempts to equate the USSR with Nazi Germany!

This brings me to JG Ballard’s exquisite (1984) book entitled ‘Empire of the Sun’ – a biographical account of his life in colonial China – where he was born and brought up (some of which in a Japanese-controlled POW Camp). Spielberg was tasked with converting this book into film – and the resultant 1987 Movie is considered by many to be a hidden masterpiece of cinematic adaptation. I agree, the film is stunning, moving and dialectically thrilling – but did Spielberg work his Zionist magic? After watching the Blu-ray of Empire of the Sun a number of times and re-reading JG Ballard’s beautiful novel – I have yet again detected Spielberg fiddling with the perception of the world – using his usual method of precise omission. Jim declares that he has become an ‘atheist’ – but Spielberg censors-out the fact that he is also thinking of joining the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-Shek made a habit of beheading any caught Communist guerrillas – placing their heads on spikes in the centre of Shanghai for all to see. Jim had become impressed with the Communist Unions that agitated for the rights of workers employed by ‘White’ Europeans (such as his father) – and the battle waged by Mao Zedong and his forces living in the hills (a famous Chinese actress had resigned from her lavish profession in the Movies and the cinemas – and had joined Mao Zedong’s Communist guerrillas) – all omitted by Spielberg.

Spielberg – when filming Empire of the Sun – took out ALL positive mention of the Communist Party and the Red Cause. As the USSR had become an ally of the UK in mid-1941, the British colonialists in China pursued a policy of employing fleeing Eastern Europeans (China took-in hundreds of thousands of Jews – assisting their escape from Hitler) – with Jim possessing a Jewish Governess – facts all omitted by Spielberg. Jim’s Governess had escaped from Eastern Europe as Hitler’s armies advanced – bringing her parents with her to China (a fact omitted by Spielberg). Jim had a map of the USSR in his bedroom and marked on it every time the Soviet Red Army was forced to retreat as the Hitlerites advanced (a fact omitted by Spielberg). The Eastern Europeans fleeing to China were escaping not from Stalin (who was trying everything to protect them) – but from Hitler (who was trying everything to exterminate them). Spielberg does not want his audience to know the full content of JG Ballard’s excellent account. This continuous dishonesty is a marker of post-1948 political Zionism. Where the colonial British cheered every Soviet victory (no matter how modest) – Spielberg (who is from an America that did not want to assist the UK) – misses this out. The British were a besieged people with a collapsing empire – but none of this matters to Spielberg.

Once again Spielberg attempts to alter history and removes the Communist Movement from history. The reality is that the International Communist Movement was the backbone to the resistance of the International Fascist Movement. British soldiers fought and died against Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito – whilst White Zionist terrorists (operating out of Palestine) routinely attacked, murdered, and wounded British soldiers! The British Army fought against Zionist terrorism between 1917-1947. Whilst the events of Empire of the Sun unfolded – Zionists like Spielberg were fighting and killing British soldiers in Palestine! Of course, whilst creating a polished Movie – Spielberg plays-down the suffering of the Chinese people that JG Ballard personally witnessed. This is to be expected as Zionism is a form of White Supremacy – as confirmed by a UN Resolution in 1975. Spielberg has been allowed to get away with his alteration of history because Zionism as an ideology assumes that its followers are part of a superior race. Not only a superior race, of course, but like Japanese fascism the Zionists believe themselves to be spiritually superior! Finally, at the behest of the US, the USSR declared war on Imperial Japan during late 1945 – entering Manchuria and quickly destroying the Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army! The Chinese ‘Puppet’ Emperor was captured attempting to flee to Japan by Soviet Red Army Paratroopers. Food and medicine were imported to help all of the Chinese population. Spielberg omits all of this and instead chooses to show a small number of ‘White’ US soldiers (if real – I assume were some type of ‘Special Forces’) – thus creating the false assumption that the Americans had liberated China.
