3. As our hearts sadden for the fate of Cubee, our eyes move up the page,
drawing hope from the warm sun shining down on this magical land.
Though there is an American flag flying
patriotically near the structure in the background, the power of the sun
obviously exerts more far-reaching presence. Curiously, the sun appears
to be modeled from a design used by the Japanese who fought against the
Americans in World War 2. The Japanese were allied with the Germans, who
killed millions of Jews during that war. The Jews were rounded up and put
on trains that took them to their new homes in the "death camps".
In the picture there is a school bus.
Who
or what is in the bus? Are its passengers of the same race as the aggregate
pulling the wagon? Or those being pulled in the wagon? Germany's capital
itself was divided into two parts, separated by "the Berlin Wall".
In the picture of the magical land in the advertisement we see there is
also a wall. The territory on the far side of the wall appears to be under
Japanese control where American nationals are allowed to keep some of their
customs, such as flying their flag outside the workplace. It is less obvious
who controls the territory in the foreground.
Though there may be some form of electronic surveillance, the checkpoint
in the wall appears to be unguarded, implying a formally recognized alliance
between the powers of these two territories. If we attempt an historical
interpretation of this scene, it would lead us to believe that the aggregates
in the foreground represent the industrious Germans. Perhaps the scene is
a depiction of an alternate historical path in which the Axis powers defeated
the Allies and took control of the United States. Or is the scene depicting
an alternate reality in which human life has been eradicated and inanimate
objects have come to life in order to mindlessly reenact scenes from the
remnants of our written history? If so, what drives the aggregates to do
so? What do they hope to accomplish?
4. What do the aggregates want from us? How can we appease them? Can we do so before it's too late?
