What's the anti-Obama message in Prince of Darkness? Is BP responsible for The Thing?

I took the first part and lumped it into the second for the response.
This made me lol out loud (thanks Monk). I wouldn't say Obama but it's a warning of what could happen.
BP... hmmmm possibly.

I've seen waves of dumbasses wave Fight Club as a philosophical bible, but not They Live. This is kinda new and amazing. I love John Carpenter.
Pan, the social dystopia theme popular in movies like Fight Club, They Live, Equilibrium, etc. and represents escapist entertainment at its finest.

Fight the man!
I never saw Fight Club, have no desire. The very first time I saw They Live, I could see possibilities of a double entendre. It is far more possible than just about any other "conspiracy" movie out there. (Again, take out the campy aliens and put in the Illuminati, the Masons, etc).
I just find this movie in particular extremely relevent and highly possible. We have had studies on subliminals, Art started a thread about media brainwashing... why brainwash the people? To buy more at lower wages? I don't think so. To take away a spirit of fight, redirect and pacify so as to allow a bloodless, resistant free takeover, extremely possible.
I would truly like to see John Carpenter himself respond to the above videos and tell us what he thinks.
Did you watch the clips in their entirety, just skim thru or not watch them at all and decided to just lump this one in with all others and just say escapism at its finest? If you haven't watched them, all I ask is to do so with as open a mind as possible. then come to your conclusion.
We can even debate points the Celtic Rebel makes.

The people who are getting the wool pulled over their eyes are the ones who are buying this as brilliant. I was a college sophomore once too (thanks, Colbert).

And did you watch all three clips in their entirety or are you just sputtering out what you think may get a laugh from someone, or trying to "prove how smart you truly is?"
Because if you watched it, I'd like to know how you came to see this guy masquerading as a prophet.
If you did not watch it in it's entirety, then how can you call it anything? Who does he quote from at the end about how easy it would be to take over, and how would the take over be accomplished?
What other movies does he show clips of?
What exactly did he say about South Park and what is the reason he uses it?
Whay are there pictures of Darth Vaders on the Final clip and what are his reasons for including these?
If you watched it... you can easily answer 2 of those if not all of them.
If you can, then you can validate your opinion... if not, simply say, I have not watched them but I think/feel/or believe they are probably.... otherwise to me, you don't add content, you're just posting to flame, troll or for attention. Because you have no basis to your statements and are not offering debate or true opinion in anyway.
True debate/opinion would be... "his use of x and the statement he makes here... I find juvenile, very common and unrealistic, that was sheer paranoia BS..." That shows you watched it and formed a true opinion. And that I can very much respect and understand.
