Hey, General Conspiracies, ATS in general.
We have all seen (or all of us should have seen) the media influence on 'civilized' society. We tend to ignore less mainstream media on account of,
they are not mainstream media. But, why do we simply assume that, Illuminati, Big Corporations, Corrupt Government whatever you believe wouldn't try
and control alternative, or less mainstream media?
Generally, the focus for "Illuminati" spokesmen is on the most popular artists, such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Lil Jon or whoever, Jay-Z I don't know,
I don't listen to rap but that's where the focus is. These are the people constantly accused of being freemasons and using symbolism to promote the
masonic agenda (whatever that may be)
I am here to tell you all about...
Media Control.
You're probably wondering, why did I name my topic title so? Doesn't really have much to do with the media, you'd think? Sounds like some big-wig
fat-cat corporate conspiracy rather than media conspiracy.
Well, the topic title is actually part of a song by an '80's thrash metal band called "Sabbat" (not to be confused by Sabbath... Black
Sabbath).
The song in question is called "The Church Bizarre" from the album "History of a Time to Come" (for those metalheads who are familiar with this
album know of it's many occult references)
There are plenty of songs by plenty of artists who are in similar vein - perhaps trying to warn us, perhaps simply trying to evoke emotions, or,
perhaps, they are freemasons or illuminati, or mind controlled, brainwashed, drugged up whatever, there's a million and one reasons they could have
the lyrics they do, but there is a very common message that perseveres throughout the time of the song.
You'll notice, that lately, there have been plenty of songs about material posessions, and perhaps it all started with that insufferable blonde,
Madonna, and her "Material Girl"...
and nowadays, rappers 'gangsters' and RnB artists sing about their cars and guns, their clothes and how much gwap they got and all the
(non-existant) drugs they (never) sold. The media has turned into a big circus, which, brings me to the next quote from the very same song I was
talking about, by Sabbat
"Bring on the dancers - bring on the clowns,
who invite you to ride on their merry-go-rounds,
they make the money and they make the rules,
you ''Born-Again-Christians'' are born again fools. "
Yes, bring on the dancers and clowns indeed! It seems more and more artists are nothing more than spokespersons for what having a lot of money is
like. Again, they make the money and they make the rules (although, that last line, as funny as it is, doesn't belong in this topic lol) and we are
to follow them, and be like them, and act like them, in hopes of perhaps one day striking gold as them. You'll notice that, with the exception of
that one lady from American Idol who sang really well, pretty much every single female AND male who is a famous musician is good looking. Sex sells.
"Bring on the dancers" so they can entertain us with their bodies and their heavily engineered music. What do I mean by heavily engineered? Anyone
who is a sound engineer can testify to this in this topic. A lot of music nowadays is 'compressed' to make it seem louder than it really is. i
won't get into the details of copmression as I don't fully understand it myself, but it makes the songs sound louder and more crisp in general. We
are being fed 'fake' music. This is a big problem, I see, because it makes us think or believe that this is what music must sound like, and when we
hear an acoustic guitar w/ no microphone or a single violinist playing we think - it sounds better on an album - making us not appreicate true music
as much. Those who are sound engineer will probably not share this view with me, but that's fine, for it's your profession and I can understand
it's not in your best interest for people to believe that.
