Illuminati Symbolism in Max Payne (2008)

Max Payne Detective

Detective Max Payne is a veteran in the Cold Case Unit of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). He is consumed with investigating and finding the murderer of his wife Michelle and their infant child Rose.

Maxy Payne Illuminati

Max Payne is an odd ride through the New York criminal underworld, with hallucinations, Norse mythology, and the occult.

Max Payne Demon Summoning

I admit I’ve never played a Max Payne game but I watched my brother as he played. Max is after Jack Lupino, an insane New York mafia boss. Lupino is Satanic. Max believes he killed his wife and daughter. Lupino is mad from the drug he takes “Valkyr”.

Max Payne Fallen Angels

“I have tasted the flesh of fallen angels!”
―Jack Lupino, 2001.

Max Payne Valkyrie

The Valkyries: Chooser of the Slain

The Valkyries are female warlike virgins, who mounts upon horses and arms themselves with helmets and spears. They decides who will die in a battle. They will hover over the battlefield, like birds over their prey. There will be six, nine, or thirteen Valkyries at a time. They will select among half of those who dies in battle. And then bring them to Valhalla.

The other half will go to the goddess Freya’s afterlife field Folkvangr. Freya always has the first pick, of the fallen Vikings. Odin allows some of the maidens to take the form of beautiful white swans, but if a Valkyrie is seen by a human without her swanlike disguise, she will become an ordinary mortal and can never again return to Valhalla.

Max Payne Ragnarock

Max finds occult books at a nightclub called Ragnarock.

In Norse mythology, Ragnarok is a series of apocalyptic events that will define the end of the world, where giants of frost and fire will together fight the gods in a final battle that will ultimately destroy the planet, submerging it under water. According to the legend, the world will resurface, the surviving and returning gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors.

Max Payne Tarot

Max Payne finds tarot cards in the game. The Death tarot symbolized rebirth. Tarot cards like Death, the Devil, the Tower illustrate scenes from the Apocalypse. The cards were for the illiterate who could not read the book of Revelation. They have their origin in Egypt and Kabbalah.

The word on Lisa Punchinello was that she was a bit of a witch. The tarot cards on the kitchen table fit the picture. They weren’t my kind of cards, but I was willing to take a crack at the hand Mrs. Punchinello had dealt. The first card was The Tower, maybe that was supposed to be the manor. It got easy after that, The Devil was the master of the house.. And Death was me- coming for him.


Max meets Christa Balder. Christa is a female given name, which derives from the Greek word, “Christos”, meaning “anointed” or “chosen one”. Balder is the Norse God who will be reborn after Ragnarock and judge the world. Very similar to Jesus Christ. Christa is overcome with grief for her lost husband just as Balder’s wife Nanna was overcome with grief by his death.

Balder is the son of Odin and Frigg.

Balder has a brother named Hod.

Balder is married to Nanna, they have a son named Forsete.

Balder is the most beautiful and kind of the Aesir, and all in Asgard praises him. Balder means “Lord”. Balder is the wisest of all the Viking gods, well spoken of and the most gentle. But he is plagued by bad dreams that mustn’t come true.

“A bit closer to heaven.”
―Motto

Aesir

The Aesir Corporation is a major pharmaceutical company run by Nicole Horne. They are the manufacturers of the illegal drug Valkyr. The organization employs the Punchinello crime family to distribute valkyr on the streets

CONCLUSION

Max Payne reminds us of our own Ragnarock, the 9/11 attacks and the war in the middle east. After the war Balder will return to rule the New Earth. Mark Wahlberg, who plays Max in the movie cancelled his doomed 9/11 flight. Until a hard boiled detective finds the truth about that day the war will go on. All it takes is one good detective to bring justice to victory.

  1. This is from the LGBT spiritual blog:

    the female Christ figure is, itself, controversial amongst feminist theologians. Some consider it merely reinforces, rather than challenges, the stereotype of women as powerless victims of abuse. Others find it immensely healing, enabling them to realize their own bodies as the site of the divine, even in their mortality, pain and abuse. I leave you to make your own response, as I share with you something of my own, in a poem I have written exploring the identity of the crucified Christa with us today:

    http://jesusinlove.blogspot.ca/2011/03/crucified-christa-embodies-female.html

    Who is the Christa?

    Every woman forced to have sex who didn’t want it
    Every girl trafficked out of her own home country
    trapped in some anonymous bedsit in someone else’s city
    working all the hours men want to have her body
    making a fast buck for her pimp

    The woman you meet in the street with bruises all up her arm
    which you don’t see because she covers them up in long sleeved blouses
    and thick sweaters
    (Harder to hide the gash on her face but make-up has its uses)
    Every woman who is too frightened to go out alone because of what has happened to her in the past or what she imagines might happen to her

    The woman sleeping in the underpass
    in her makeshift room of cardboard
    who wards off the unwanted attentions from the drunk two streets up

    The smart young graduate climbing the career ladder
    who can’t get through the day without shooting up
    The anorexic teenager starving her young body
    that is strange to her and she cannot seem to love
    The classrooms of self-harming girls

    The nine-year old orphan caring for three siblings all under five
    in a shanty town in any African city
    Her parents dead from AIDs

    Every street girl and boy scavenging on rubbish tips
    Every child working in sweatshops making cheap tee-shirts for Primark
    All the women raped in war or, worse, forced to watch their daughters raped
    Husbands shot in front of their eyes

    Women who walk a thousand miles through a war-zone
    with babies on their hips and children dragging along beside them
    Desperate to make it to a refugee camp
    where they might find food and shelter

    Christa, our sister,
    have mercy
    Christa, God’s beloved,
    show us your face
    where we have not wanted to see it
    where we resist your presence among us

  2. She wants a man who protects her from paparazzi. Not a man who keeps the doctor away. Angelina Jolie’s favorite Doctor Rockefeller crashed his plane on friday the 13th under the harvest moon. Someone is programming these agents to kill.

  3. Detectives have a higher IQ than regular cops. Agents have a higher IQ than detectives. The agents are reading Eustace Mullins Medical Conspiracy books and decided they had enough of Doc Rock.

  4. These tv shows and movies are violent and idiotic. Kubrick was the last director to make movies for people with intelligence. What does Harry Potter teach these dumbed down kids? The movies with a prophecy that has to be fulfilled are so divorced from the reality of these prophets and their prophecies. There are thousands of prophecies. It’s more than a man can take. That’s why I think I haven’t found “The One”, but i know he is out there on the manosphere. Take the red pill neo.

  5. She’s had a child and sells herself as a promiscuous maneater. You’d be better off going your own way. Why are you so sure it’s the same girl from your childhood? Could be a delusion and you are making a fool of yourself. She’s certainly made a fool of you GI Joe. Just like Twisted Sister Helen’s game of musical chairs she won and you lost. All it cost was her soul. She fulfills the dirty bird prophecy of revelation 18. babylon is a cage for every unclean bird.

  6. Maybe we go back to being lodge of no hope. i’m dying. they keep injecting me with poison i keep smoking from PTSD. i got abducted and fracked with mulder you prick. i blame U

  7. Stupid Joe chose this woman as a witness. The two witnesses are two men. Moses who has the power to turn water into blood and Elijah who breathes fire. Putting your faith in this woman was the biggest mistake of your life. And it will cost you, your life. This drug they give you GI is a downer. You were talking to angels when you were off them. My psychiatrists will inject you until you die at 50.
