POPULAR MUSIC: A KEY ILLUMINATI TOOL

Music is a powerful influence, both for good and evil. In The Republic, Plato recognized its potential as a disintegrating force and advocated its control.

In the modern era, Antonio Gramsci recognized that Communism (an Illuminati movement) could succeed only if the traditional culture, including music, was first subverted.

For the past two generations, popular music has become openly hostile to traditional values. While some forms, such as country, have resisted this trend, most popular music is a purveyor of drugs, rebellion, perverted sex, the primitive and the occult, and Satanism.

Traditional values always rest upon a religious foundation, so the most powerful attack in a culture war is an attack upon the underlying faith. Satanism, which inverts the Judeo-Christian tradition -- calling evil good and good evil -- is the sharpest possible attack.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Satanism in music first became visible when the face of Aleister Crowley appeared on the cover of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album. Before long this was followed by the Rolling Stones' song, Sympathy for the Devil. Throughout the 70s this trend gained traction.

It wasn't until the 80s, though, that I was shocked to see blatant Satanism making its appearance in American living rooms. I turned on the TV one afternoon (about the time that Dick Clark used to host American Bandstand) and saw Joan Jett and the Blackhearts performing. They were jabbing their hands at the camera, giving the sign of the horns, while "singing" (in actuality, screaming) curses.

Since then, displays of Satanism -- from Madonna to Eminem to Jay-Z --have proliferated. Are such displays for real? Are the performers really Satanists? Or is this just an act to titillate an audience and gain notoriety?

It doesn't matter. Either way Satanic influence infects the culture. What better way to get most performers, and audiences, to adopt Satanism than to let them think it isn't to be taken seriously, that it's an act, that it's cool.

No doubt some performers are Satanists. But more important, many of those who control the music industry snd determine which performers are promoted, are Satanists. Today, Satanism is deeply entrenched in the music industry.

A current example is Lil Wayne, a well-known performer of minimal gifts, who is featured on a music video called "On Fire." In it, he is seduced by a woman who is "hot." She is really (supposedly) a devil from hell.

One has only to compare this video to the movie "Body Heat" (1981), which has a similar theme, to see how crude and stupid the video is. But that seems to be part of the idea. It seems to be deliberately primitive and stupefying.

The song, indeed the whole production, is sub-literate. Its thousand jump cuts make you feel (as TV in general does) as if something significant is happening, or about to happen, but in the end it leaves you feeling empty and wasted. In the meantime, you have left your spirit open and unguarded, so that subliminal images and messages implant themselves in your soul.

Preparing the Way of Satan

Okay, but coupling that with "under the influence and direction of something dark" is quite an insinuation. Jimi's manager was most likely involved in Jimi's murder among other things so it could definitely be said he was "under a dark influence," but to me in the context of the thread that statement becomes something else.

Yet, the picture displayed in each newspaper was cropped so closely that only three or four of the "squealing teenagers" could be seen. The story was a fraud. According to a photographer on the scene, "There were no riots. I was there. We saw eight girls, even less than eight."(Philip Norman, Shout! The Beatles in Their Generation, p. 188)

Hopefully, he will be proven to be wrong.

Doubly disturbing when you consider what happened to the Beatles in September of that year. At which time it finally dawned on John how much of a pawn he was...

This is when Paul was supposedly (more than likely) replaced?

Indeed. Also the time when John started to worry about being murdered.

A good book which covers some of this subject among many others, particularly concerning the 60's is 'Turn off your mind' by Gary Valentine Lachman (ex Blondie).

Interesting subject.... Many mysteries in rock during and after this period. How was Charles Manson able to infiltrate the Beach Boys with such ease? Is it really true that Jim Morrison's father was doing all he could to escalate the war in America-Vietnam war while his son was singing songs about ending it?


"Changing the lifestyle and appearance of youth throughout the world didn't just happen - we set out to do it. We knew what we were doing."

The issue is how the search of identity is exploited by external nerfarious forces and how much the music we listen to damages us if at all. Perhaps it's the other way round - that often we find our parents don't understand us and rock music gives us the backdrop, or the headspace which helps us and serves as a catalyst through difficult times? However these days I find the quality of new musical acts across the spectrum as being increasingly unoriginal and rubbish!

The question is are we damaged by this so-called "Satanic roots" of rock?

[pipsicle]

"Damaged" is a strong word.... negatively affected? Hard to tell, when so much of the effect occurs on a subliminal level.

Now I come to think of it, the Beatles were also told to stay at the house where Manson later committed the Sharon Tate murders. There's more to this than we'll ever know.

He doesn't quite get to the top of the pyramid, but a good read nonetheless.

John Lennon and the reoccurence of the number '9' throughout his life always intrigued me:

http://triumphpc.com/mersey-beat/bea...ber-nine.shtml

John Lennon was born on 9 October 1940.
Brian Epstein first saw John and the Beatles at Liverpool Cavern on November 9, 1961, and he secured their recording contract with EMI in London on May 9, 1962.
His son Sean was also born 9 October (1975).
John met Yoko on 9 November 1966; 9 years after he met Paul McCartney, and 9 years before the birth of Sean.
John and Yoko’s apartment was located on West 72 streeet, New York City (seven plus two making nine).
The bus he traveled on as a student each morning from his home to the Liverpool Art college had been the 72.
John’s songs included “Revolution #9″, “#9 dream” and “one after 909″ which he had written at his mother’s home at 9 Newcastle(nine letters) Road, Wavertree (nine letters), Liverpool(nine letters).
He was murdered late in the evening of 8 December 1980 in New York, but it was already the early hours of the morning of 9 December in his birthplace of Liverpool, England. 1980 adds up to 9. (1+9+8+0 = 18, 1+8=9).
9 Dream was released on John’s ninth record, in the ninth month of 1974, the song peaked at #9 in the New Musical Express Charts and the “Ah, bowakawa pousee, pousee” verse is exactly nine syllables long.
His albums “Mind Games”and “Rock & Roll” both contain nine characters

Yeah... pretty sure in occult philosophy a son who shares a birthday with his father will inherit his power. Yoko Ono had a couple of miscarriages prior to sean's birth.

Many clues that the Beatles were in way over their heads:



"The movie Rosemary's baby was filmed in the Dakota were John Lennon was shot to death. It also appears that John Lennon knew the director personally. “The Director of Rosemary’s Baby was Roman Polanski. (At a party in California in 1973, Lennon ‘went berserk, hurling a chair out the window, smashing mirrors, heaving a TV against the wall, and screaming nonsense about film director Roman Polanski being to blame’ - Giuliano"

"In the movie Rosemary’s Baby, it is stressed that there is power in babies blood. Could this be the reason why Sharon Tate’s baby was almost cut out of the womb by Susan Atkins Sadie Atkins not only wanted to remove the baby, but she also wanted to take out the eyes of the other murdered people, squash them against the walls, and cut off their fingers.She stated, "We were going to mutilate them, but we didn’t have a chance to.""

Murderess Susan Atkins' nickname was SADIE Mae Glutz

Sexy Sadie you'll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie oooh you'll get yours yet.

John and "Magic Alex" concocted what appears to be a rather far-fetched allegation of sexual impropriety against the Maharishi, in order to conceal the true meaning of his song.

"Beatles often stayed at Tate residence (?)

"In the famous 1970 Rolling Stone interview, Lennon suggested that he, George Harrison and Ringo Starr took their second LSD trip at Doris Day’s house in California while touring with the Beatles. He may have been referring, unwittingly, to 10050 Cielo Drive, Bel Air, Los Angeles, California, the house where Sharon Tate and four others were murdered. As previously stated, Doris Day’s son, Terry Melcher, had allowed Roman Polankski and his wife, Sharon Tate, to take over his unexpired lease about six months prior to the murders.57 Here is what Lennon said about his first and second experiences with LSD:

A dentist in London…laid it [first LSD pills] on George, me and our wives [Cynthia Powell Lennon and Patty Boyd Harrison] without telling us at a dinner party at his house [in London]… And then, well, we just decided to take it again in California…We were on tour, in one of those houses, like Doris Day’s house or wherever it was we used to stay. And the three of us took it. Ringo, George and I. I think maybe Neil [Aspinall, a roadie]. And a couple of the Byrds…[David] Crosby and the other guy, who used to be the leader…[Roger] McGuinn. I think they came round, I’m not sure, on a few trips.58


Lennon’s memory of his second LSD trip was a bit fussy, but he mentioned some interesting people and places: Doris Day’s house, the Byrds. Earlier I mentioned that Terry Melcher produced the Byrds’ first two albums. As stated before, Melcher’s mother is Doris Day. Sharon Tate and her four companions were killed at a house in LA where Melcher had lived six months earlier. It might have been owned by Melcher’s mom, or maybe Lennon knew she was connected with the house somehow, so he referred to it as Doris Day’s house. Not only does Lennon unwittingly suggest that he and two other Beatles—George and Ringo—took their second acid trip in the house where Sharon Tate was murdered, he further intimates that the Beatles stayed at that house quite often while touring California. Here is the key statement again: "We were on tour, in one of those houses, like Doris Day’s house or wherever it was we used to stay." The words "wherever it was we used to stay" describe a place the Beatles stayed at frequently while on tour."

Pipsicle thanks for the fantastic link! You are so right, Im sure that there is so much that we will never know in regards to the truth and the Beatles. The excellent link that you provided is very interesting to say the least....so many shocking connections and obvious references to this Satanic 'Hollywood' coven, which Im thoroughly convinced actually exists. The article mentions that Kenneth Anger wanted to recruit the Beatles for his Process Church around the time frame of 1966-1967. I find this timeline correlation interesting. The whole 'paul is dead' fiasco started in Nov. 1966 and many Beatles fans have noted a significant change in the direction of the Beatles music and they're overall image in which they took on a 'darker' style right around this time period. I do believe that they were probably afterall infiltrated by Anger and this 'coven' that was eventually responsible for the Manson killings and later the attempted assination plots of Ford and than Reagan much later, and of course the eventual ritualistic style killing of John Lennon.

"They're COMPLETELY ANTI-CHRIST. I mean, I am anti-Christ as well, but they're so anti-Christ they shock me which isn't an easy thing." Derek Taylor, Press Officer for the Beatles

"I believed that he was Satan himself at times" George Martin, Beatles Producer

"Jesus, a garlic-eating, stinking little yellow, greasy fascist bastard catholic Spaniard." John Lennon, A Spaniard in the Works, p.14)

"Christianity will go, it will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that. I'm right and will be proved right. You just wait.. . .We're more powerfull than Jesus ever was.." Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me." John Lennon

These memorable quotes are chilling!

Joseph Niezgoda argues Lennon actually entered into a Satanic pact aged 20, in return for fame and fortune. Niezgoda claims he literally told a friend (Tony Sheridan) he'd sold his sold to the devil.

I'm not sure I can believe that, but this photo is quite creepy when you consider lennon was later shot by someone with the initials "MDC":

Creepy pic. Nowt so queer as the truth. It's plausible to me that he could have done something like that. What I wonder is, were the other Beatles complicit...
