Mr. Moore has a good story-telling technique going on here that just might entice the feminist liberal types into an understanding that there are deeper things happening in the world than they are at present conscious of.
The technique is to present his story ‘Providence’ through the eyes of a closeted homosexual, Jewish news reporter. The book is set in the post WW1 period in the US, a time and place where being a homosexual Jew might have a detrimental impact upon your career. This man has two huge secrets, and he has already experienced tragedy in his personal life. That tragedy links him to the main story, and with the idea that just as this man hides his deepest, darkest secrets in order to blend in with the everyday world, so does another more powerful group of people.
Sounds like a member of the illuminati speaking some truth behind closed doors, don’t you think? Throw in the fact that the man who is saying these words is obviously doing something that involves prolonging his own life, and you have a link to transhumanism, or the idea that man can become immortal through technology. Well, only certain kinds of men, obviously.
The Billionaire controllers of this world fear death so much that they are investing heavily in life enhancement technology. Why do they fear death so much, are they not religious people? That’s the issue. They are religious people, but rather than being on the side of God, they are on the side of Satan.
Transhumanism offers these criminal ‘elites’ the possibility of avoiding their inevitable day of judgement, when they will have to pay for the crimes they are committing against humanity. If they live forever, they will never have to pay for their crimes.
Providence #1 hints at these secret world controllers and transhumanism, but it’s not aimed at people like me, people who already talk about these kinds of things. Alan Moore is being clever here. He is strategically aiming the book at the generation of children who have been brought up by feminist liberal Marxist ideologies in their schooling. What he is doing in this book is giving them occulted truth that they might otherwise instantly (like a trained parrot) dismiss as ‘conspiracy theories’ and thus, not even bother engaging with.
It’s a magic trick performed by a skilled master of misdirection. Look at the left hand, whilst what I am doing is concealed in the right.
The book itself is wonderfully crafted. It’s subtle, you have to take you time reading it, and there are joys to be had in re-reading it at least two times over, as trust me, you’ll see things on the second or third read through that you missed on the first. The book is literary, huge in scope, and is more of a novel than a comic book, even concluding with a long essay from the main protagonist in something called a ‘Commonplace Book.’
This ‘Commonplace Book’ clarifies not just the plot, but the sense of empathy that the reader will feel for the tormented protagonist, and as I’ve mentioned repeatedly throughout this review, that empathy is the key to getting Moore’s message across here.
Providence #1 is a fascinating book, not just because of the superior comic book construction skills of Mr. Moore, but because it’s hinting at deeper truths, and allowing readers an easy, open doorway where they can casually stroll through and discover those hidden truths for themselves. Mr. Moore, you are a genius, a very clever dude indeed, and I applaud what you are doing here.
Rating: 10/10 (Mr. Moore’s friendly invite into the world of the occult)
