Are they "Illuminatis?" Maybe, maybe not. They are probably very interested in these topics as we here are. They cannot make an album explicitly
about their interests without pushing away a large fan base however. Many artists are "into" many strange things which are usually revealed later,
on a tv interview or in Rolling Stone. Bowie a Gnostic,
Madonna and Qabala, Led
Zepplin and Crowley, and so on. If the artists weren't so eccentric their art would probably suffer. The symbols are everywhere, but are they there
to look pretty? Probably not, or else they could make their own prettier ones. Are the symbols there to get us to do our homework? Sometimes. I first
learned about the Witches Hammer by randomly googling a song title on an AFI album (Malleus Maleficarum), so when it was briefly brought up in the Da
Vinci Code I already knew about it. Disney has Club 33, and there's even a childrens movie called Hoodwinked! (with a hidden compass+square in one
scene)
Anyways, many people have mentioned actual brotherhoods/occult groups which do weild considerable control in the entertainment industry, above and
beyond the typical backscratching and repaying of favors of the uber rich, which constitutes a not-so-occult 'brotherhood.' Its rumored that Dave
Chappel was approached by such a group (of Black entertainers only) and refused to join, then ran to Africa for apparently no reason (or a pretty lame
reason - too much money!). In a book about Pink Floyd it is apparently mentioned that the band resisted influence by a Dionysian cult. The
cults of
Dionysus and Isis being mentioned the most when it comes to the entertainment industry. And should it be a wonder why? Jim Morrison was very
Dionysian figure whose father was an admiral in the Navy. Jim also had a wiccan wedding. (at least acording to my Doors movie..) The 60's are
especially important when thinking about 'influence' in music.
Aldoux Huxleys
Doors of Perception was a major influence on the Doors and Terrance McKenna, Timothy Leary, and basically the rest of the 60's
youth. (Especially centered in Southern California, ground zero for American entertainment.)
Aldous Huxley, the grandson of Thomas H. Huxley, a founder of the Rhodes Roundtable group and a lifelong collaborator of Arnold Toynbee.
Toynbee's "theory" of history was that its determining culture has always been the rise and decline of grand imperial dynasties. Toynbee argued
that this decline could be abated if the ruling oligarchy (like that of the British Roundtable) would devote itself to the recruitment and training of
an ever-expanding priesthood dedicated to the principles of imperial rule.
Trained at Toynbee's Oxford, Aldous Huxley was one of the initiates in the "Children of the Sun," a Dionysian cult comprised of the children
of Britain's Roundtable elite. Among the other initiates were T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden, Sir Oswald Mosley, and D.H. Lawrence, Huxley's homosexual
lover.
Aldous Huxley was tutored at Oxford by H.G. Wells, the head of British foreign intelligence during World War I... Under Wells's tutelage, Huxley was
first introduced to Aleister Crowley. Crowley was a product of the cultist circle that developed in Britain from the 1860s under the guiding
influence of Edward Bulwer-Lytton. In 1886, Crowley, William Butler Yeats, and several other Bulwer-Lytton proteges formed the Isis-Urania Temple
of Hermetic Students of the Golden Dawn. This Isis Cult was organized around the 1877 manuscript Isis Unveiled by Madame Helena Blavatsky,
in which the Russian occultist called for the British aristocracy to organize itself into an Isis priesthood. Huxley founded a nest of Isis cults in
southern California and in San Francisco, that consisted exclusively of several hundred deranged worshipers of Isis and other cult
gods...
From Huxleys influence, and Tim Learys CIA LSD, "Orange Sunshine," the influence of The Haight spread into the music and culture. If you want a
theme-song for the New World Order, look no further and John Lennons
Imagine.
...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
...
(more like Minipax...)
If someone looks into the lyrics of Jay-Z, Nas, et al, it might become clear where they stand.
If you look hard enough you will find many Freemasons or other groups in places of influence (I mean if you had a secret society - who would you
recruit??). "Every man and woman is a star." And which (teen-)Idols do we worship?

Stars. What better level of influence is there?

Who started the trend of
rolling up one pant leg? A rapper (whose name I forget). I have
already mentioned (in
another thread) that the spade
("
diamond") is a symbol for the babylonian god Marduk. Babylonian god-king Nimrod
had a dream where he
lost an eye, similar to Horus/Odin/etc); Nimrod was the son of
Cush/Hermes. The
left eye is
especially important as a symbol for the
Moon (and
Hermes/Thoth (who found Horus's missing left eye)). (The rapper
Houston was disillusioned with the evils of the music industry and cut out his
own left eye.) The temple on the top of the
tower of babel was dedicated to Nanna (meaning
Illuminator), the
moon god. And on the
top of the pyramid on the
dollar
bill is a
left-eye. Famously seen in
other images, the left
eye is shown through the triangle-spade by
Jay-Z (I
guess?), and
other artists.
Hermes/Thoth is
recognized as the
New Age Christ, as claimed by H.P. Blavatsky. I think this is important because Saint Malachy predicted that we are on the
last pope, who is to be followed by something called "Peter Roma." And "Ptr-Roma" is the name the Egyptians had for the deified
Hermes.
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. (Speaking of which, isn't the evil end-time figure of the Q'uran a one-eyed person?)
Are they giving us hints? Are they using the
symbols they are familiar with, due to their
association with occult groups? Probably both. It's no stretch to imagine that they would insert heavy symbolism into their art work, as it is a long
tradition with artists. The cults of power in the entertainment industry probaby work more like unions, rather than like the "illuminati" we are
imagining. Although, the entertainment industry is the first place to go when you want to subliminally send a message to millions of people.
The video embedding isnt working for me, so here's the video links I would have embedded here:

But I find it stranger after viewing this thread.
