Firing Line with William F. Buckley, Jr. and Anthony Burgess. December 21, 1972.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE: AVERSION THERAPY.
Alex being inducted into the Traditional Good ole Boys club (applauded for debauchery, rape and murder after bringing his brain into a more violent state through State-sponsored mind control trauma-based operational experimentation). The old system more deeply entrenched into the now more "mature" Alex who finds his place in the Pyramid structure of society after his ordeals with attempting to form his own legion of Droogs operating independently using their own internal code. Now fully programmed into The Larger Program after much travail and trauma and violence in all directions except aimed at "the top" of the pyramid which remains solidly in power the entire time.
"As a teacher, what have I got to say to young people in their late teens or 20's....and this is contested not only by the young, but by the professors or lecturers who should know better, who put themselves on the side of the young, deliberately, hoping that when 'The Revolution' comes, if it does come, they will get some kind of special preference. Discounting the fact that they'll probably be the very first to be put up against 'The wall'. And they will have to face a firing squad. I'm seriously concerned about this."
As an "old world" traditionist to some degree, Burgess is not exactly hip and makes it clear that he is square in his interview with Conservative icon William F. Buckley, Jr. One point of contention Burgess wants to express to his students, whom he claims don't digest what he teaches but instead vomits the information out while retaining almost nothing, is that the older generations (i.e. as in English tradition and history from whence he draws his patterns of history and essential templates of the configuration of history, have "cyclical" knowledge that should not be ignored and that a "tabula rasa" approach to new knowledge is impractical. It is therefore a waste of time to attempt to change old patterns in the status quo. Defying norms will not operate as any form of essential change within society, nor will the attempt to do so have any long-lasting effect. If the reader can recall the film A Clockwork Orange, which was an open examination of mind control programming, sometimes referred to as MK ULTRA programming in some videos and websites (perhaps labeled as "conspiracy theory" sites) and other such "exposes" of this work of art depicting the failed attempt to use mind control trauma-based experimentation in order to achieve "behavior modification". Burgess is fully aware of the push of the older generation onto "the youth" to ensure that their system of power and domination will remain intact and that any attempt to swivel out of the groove of entrenched norms will result in extreme measures of suppression, torture and even of death. The youth seeking "revolution" and "change" will undergo such torturous mind control and state-sponsored violence in order to constrain their attempts to affect any such radical transformation from traditional values into more untamed and nouveau untraditional behaviors or lifestyle choices. That the ending of the film (as I have not read the book) depicts the transformation of the corrupted "youth" into a more solidly traditional corrupt and corruptible man being welcomed into the powers and halls of higher political office only demonstrates the true mind control programming that is the true aim of all the technologies and behavior modifications that abound but which are unseen and undetectable to the average consumer of society's demands and strategizing protocols of conformity to authority and hierarchal structure. I always considered the scene in the movie where "The Droogs" are discussing their next, big act of obtaining the "big, big money" in the warm recesses of the "Duke of York" pub as a direct reference to the Freemason rituals of the York Rite of initiation into the higher levels of the Fraternity (in the movie by Kubrick, who often made such open references to Illuminati and Freemason ritualistic, murderous and programming in his many films).
