Inversion: Wokan Tricks The Hollywood Gods, But Homer Is Not Fooled

When you've been as successful at making movies as Christopher Wokan has been you can tell any story and make any movie you want. Money talks.

But it's one thing to make a passion project or write an original story. What can't be forgiven is using sacred literature and cultural landmarks to influence young minds and shape the culture. And that is what Wokan is intending to do with this cinematic adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey. 

It's a lazy way to propagate a message. 

And this is not just another summer blockbuster. When you draw from ancient literature and sacred stories like the Bible, Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, the responsibility to tell the story correctly and without any political prejudice is great. 

Hollywood seems unable to tell a story these days without making a political statement. And it's not because there aren't any talented apolitical filmmakers working today. 

Everything Hollywood touches turns to shit because they are waging a cultural, political, and spiritual war on Western civilization. That is my belief. Hollywood is interested in spiritual warfare, not entertainment.

I could see Hollywood making a movie about Jesus in the future and cast a Haitian tranny who practices witchcraft to play him while a French dude is given the part of Judas.

All they're capable of at this point is inversion.

That is how crazy that town has become and because of its immense influence on our shared global culture we cannot escape its craziness. 

It's hard to say whether Wokan's Odyssey will have any staying power. Entertaining movies are always worth re-watching. Thematically it never made sense to put The Odyssey on the big screen because the story isn't all that gripping. It works as a poem and a piece of literature to read by your nightstand. 

Some stories are best left to the imagination. There's no need to adapt every novel or poem.

So it was curious why Wokan decided to adapt this ancient poem and why he chose to tell a globalized version of it. Were there no Greek actors available? And why make Helen of Troy so ugly? Why make Odysseus so weak? Why turn an epic poem on its head, so to speak?

Also, the decision to have all the characters speak in American accents is off putting. Where's the diversity in speech? 

This movie just feels like a mockery of Homer. It's great to make Homer more accessible to wider audiences, but this was not Wokan's story to tell alone. A better director would have served as a vehicle and convey the story without all the political baggage.

From Plutocratic Pedos To A Christian King

An excerpt from, "Catholic Kingship and Monarchy: The Ideal Form of Government" by Matthew Plese, Fatima.org, October 27, 2025:

The Fathers of the Church recognized monarchy as the natural and most stable form of governance. St. Gregory of Nazianzus wrote: “Monarchy is the most ancient and most fitting image of the divine government” (Orationes, 3). Note his use of the term “image.” Men are made in the image of God. Thus, the order of our earthly government is best when it images the order of heavenly rule. Heaven is most definitely a monarchy. Our time on earth is meant to be a “practicing” for Heaven and thus our finite political forms of government ought to prepare us to better participate in the eternal order of Heaven.

Likewise, St. Augustine, though acknowledging the abuses of corrupt rulers, affirmed that righteous kingship is a great good when subordinated to God: “Justice being taken away, then, what are kingdoms but great robberies?” (City of God, IV, 4)

The Scholastic theologians, especially St. Thomas Aquinas, gave the most systematic defense of monarchy. In De Regno, Aquinas argued that monarchy best secures the unity and common good of a people, just as the universe is governed by the one God: “It is manifest that it is better for a multitude to be governed by one man, than by many: for there is nothing worse than for the multitude to be without unity” (De Regno, I, 2).

Thus, monarchy reflects both the unity of divine governance and the order of nature itself.

. . .The Protestant Revolt, the Enlightenment, and the French Revolution dealt devastating blows to Catholic kingship. The dethronement and even execution of kings in Europe reflected not merely political upheaval but the rebellion of man against the Kingship of Christ. The rise of liberal democracies, founded on religious indifferentism and the separation of Church and State, was condemned repeatedly by the Popes of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

. . .It is important for Catholics today to recall that an “absolute monarchy” is not the only form of monarchy. European history saw the rise of totalitarian (or absolute) monarchies in the late 17th Century, notable examples include Louis XIV (†1715), the Sun King in France; Frederick the Great (†1786) in Prussia; Joseph II (†1790) in Austria; and Peter the Great in Russia (†1725). All too often people living today associate ‘monarchy’ with the abusive rule of these kings. Their sinful rule actually paved the path for their demise by opening the path for revolutionary ideas to take root in the zeitgeist of their age.

Earlier forms of Christian monarchy had a built-in system of checks and balances. The monarch depended on the support of his high-ranking vassals, and this ensured he acted with greater justice. The Church also exerted a great deal of influence upon the ruling class and frequently pressured them into acting in favor of their people’s common good.

An absolute monarch on this earth, without any checks and balances, will almost always fall into corruption. (There is a reason why we have the saying ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely.’) However, a virtuous Christian monarch with proper limits, checks and balances is clearly the best form of government here on earth.

We all know that, given the reality of original sin, every human government is liable to succumb to corruption. In a democratic form of government, with rule by the many, it is nearly impossible to enact real and lasting reform. Likewise, it is very difficult to reform an oligarchy because the majority of the ruling class would all need to convert. A communist or socialist form of government is even further beyond repair because the very materialistic principles of the system reject God and His grace. However, a monarchy, ruled by a single family, is the structure which can most easily undergo conversion and reform. Moreover, virtuous royal parents can have a profound impact on raising saintly children and forming them from infancy in the art of governing according to the common good and Christian principles.

Proof of this is easily found in how many monarchs have been canonized by Holy Mother Church. The list includes many of the good kings listed above, as well as St. Hermenegild (Visigoths), St. Magnus (Orkney), St. Ferdinand III (Castille), St. Stephen (Hungary), St. Canute (Denmark), St. Olaf (Norway), St. Wenceslaus (Bohemia), St. Clotilde (Franks), St. Elizabeth (Hungary), St. Adelaide (Holy Roman Empire), St. Hedwig (Bavaria), St. Jadwiga (Poland), St. Isabel (Portugal), and many others. Contrast this with the complete absence of canonized rulers in democratic systems of government.

. . .In a world of chaos, Catholic monarchy stands as a forgotten but enduring witness to the truth that only Christ reigns, and only under His reign can men and nations find peace.

Towards A North American Catholic Monarchy

The painful reality is neither Washington nor Ottawa are governing effectively at the moment. All they do is trade insults. The smoke from the wildfires is just a symbol of failure of governance on an epic scale.

In Washington a long-time Senator dies mysteriously and he's replaced by his sister. I mean, it's just ridiculous. 

The North American political class has given up. They're not even trying to rule by consensus anymore. The President's office is selling trading tips. This is beyond parody at this point. 

And in Ottawa you have the former Prime Minister who is the alleged son of Fidel Castro entering a relationship with a pop star. And the Prime Minister who replaced him out of the blue was the former governor of the Bank of England.

It's just not looking good. Both countries are in rough shape. Our leaders hate our countries. I'm certain of that. No leader who loves his people would have approved of the dangerous Covid vaccines.

I think it has something to do with these creatures being godless and hateful of creation. It's not a coincidence that Trump and Trudeau are both pedophiles. And Carney was also in the Epstein circle so he may be as well. These are not normal people.

I don't know what religion they profess or what God they believe in, but it's not the one the guy in the street does. 

I think serious, fundamental change is needed. And the more I think about it the more I land on the solution of a grand North American transformation, with all states and provinces coordinating with each other to deal with crises under a single system of government.

What should that government look like? Who will be the ultimate sovereign? Currently it's the Bilderberg-Epstein-Soros-Rothschild gang and they have fucked things up royally.

I'm not smart enough to offer any serious or practical solutions. This is just mental spitballing but I've landed on Catholicism and Monarchy as the governing structure and ideology for a new North American state.

The Jews, Protestants, Freemasons, Muslims, Native Americans, Atheists, Occultists, African Voodoo merchants, Pagans, New Age yoga enthusiasts, Nihilists, etc., are all going to have to swallow their pride and take a backseat here.

Catholicism is the only ideology and religion that can unite a Mexican peasant and a Quebecois. No other system of belief can cover such a vast swath of territory on this continent. It also helps that the current Pope is from this part of the world. He can be a unifying voice and a symbol for continental integration.

And whoever we elect as King will be a thousand times better than the pedos and banksters leading us today.
