Planet of the Apes
The movie PLANET OF THE APES was released in 1968. It depicted a post-apocalyptic world several centuries in the future and the only rulers left were the Apes. These apes, however, were the parodies of America's leadership, namely they were all Christians.
In the movie the human beings were depicted as White astronauts who had returned to earth after seven hundred years and found out that only a small group of people was left of the whole world and they looked like apes! Had too much religion turned the human being into a Black ape? According to this movie it had! Interestingly, the movie was both Anti-Christian and Racist.
So naturally the Apes captured the astronauts and held them as prisoners. The Apes believed that the human beings were "primitive" because they did not believe in God and therefore they should not be allowed to speak or associate with the Apes. The Apes were the supremacists of this movie.
Today, we are beginning to learn that the reverse premise of the movie is in fact what has happened to the world and especially to the leaders of the world, namely the United States of America. The Apes have taken over, except they are not the creatures of faith but Darwinians and the worshippers of science, they think that religion is the opium of the masses (that Marx was right in his assessment,) and they think that the human being can solve all his problems and there is no need to consider intelligent design.
It is ironic, in the end of the movie we find out that the Apes worship a rocket with the atomic bomb at its apex. This in fact is what the world leaders today hold to be the solution to peace in the world -- as long as it is they that have this bomb, because they will not use it ... unless necessary, and assuming of course that they will not use it as long as the Atheists control its use.
So the real apes, the Neanderthals who have Returned and have affected a Regime Change in America, (namely the Democrats,) are now in power and they are throwing out the Bible from public schools and eliminating all vestiges of Christianity from public life. And since the authorities of our secular educational system have determined that the Chimpanzee is 98.6% human, we are truly living in the PLANET OF THE APES.
