Trapped in Matter

Anger towards Mickey Mouse

Over at Sabrina’s Journey, the association between independent filmmaker Kenneth Anger and Mickey Mouse were brought forth. I was reading Fritz Springmeier’s article titled "The Disney Bloodline" at the time, which suggests that an individual with a strong connection to Mickey Mouse as a child would exhibit an attachment towards the cartoon character throughout their life (e.g., shirts, watches, etc.). In jest, I asked, “Is Kenneth Anger the product of Disney mind control?” in the comments section.

A day later while continuing to read the Disney Bloodline article I was synchronistically surprised by the following section:

Kenneth Anger (he choose[sic] the last name Anger) was raised on the Wizard of Oz books. His biographer Bill Ladis writes that the Oz books “laid the groundwork for Ken’s attraction to Crowley, the occultist who would rework Rosicrucian thought into his own magical system.” Ken was obsessed with Crowley’s life & magic. As a child, Ken had danced with Shirley Temple in competition after she became a child star. Ken Anger loved the OTO’s solar phallic religion, and was also obsessed with Mickey Mouse. He spent part of his time studying his friend’s Mickey Mouse collection. Ken Anger did his casting for his film “Lucifer Rising” by telling occult friends & acquaintances that they could live out their goddess and god power-trip fantasies by acting for him. The British government’s National Film Finance Corp. fronted 15,000£ for Lucifer Rising’s production. Famous occult musician Jimmy Page did the sound track gratis. Ken Anger acted as the film’s Magus and made his Magus role resemble Mickey Mouse in the film Fantasia. (The role Fantasia plays in mind-control programming will follow as the last part of this chapter.) “Lucifer Rising” also starts with Fantasia-type volcanoes.

Kenneth Anger was so obsessed that he made a short film “Mouse Heaven,” based on the iconic power of the Mickey Mouse and the merchandise made in it’s image. Here is a clip from an interview with Anger discussing Mouse Heaven:

Dnyl: You’re currently working on a film, “Mouse Heaven”?

Kenneth Anger: Yes I’m finishing a film I’ve already shot. It’s a study of animated toys of a rare nature. These are collectables of early Walt Disney toys. I’ve always loved Mickey Mouse since I was a little boy and I’m outraged about the current Disney company’s attitude to Mickey Mouse. I mean they think they own it but all the children of the world own Mickey Mouse. And I have devised a way to star Mickey Mouse in a film that the current Disney company can’t legally object to, by filming antique toy collection of early Disney toys, And it’s just a coincidence all those toys happen to be Mickey Mouse. I’m actually being very respectful of early Mickey Mouse. I hate later Mickey Mouse, because from “Fantasia” on the Disney people decided to humanize the mouse, remove his tail- which is kind of castration- and in turn him into a little boy who is a sort of a goody-two-shoes. And he’s no longer the mischievous sadistic mouse that he was in the beginning. He used to do nasty little tricks like twist the udders of cows and things like that. And that’s the only mouse I’m interested in, I mean this kind of demon ‘fetish’ figure.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kenneth Anger a few years ago at at the Gene Siskel Film Center during a screening presentation of his works . For those who have seen it, he wore the same tacky planetary sweatshirt that he wore to the Disinfo.Con. What a character. I left the screening with a signed "Lucifer Rising" poster which is proudly displayed in my apartment.
