The Transhumanist and Police State Agenda in Pop Music

that video is hilarious. jay-z uses the word blueprint and thus he must be evil. like architects. or something. burn down all buildings designed by an architect imo. and rappers.

In this symbolic image, Rihanna’s Mickey Mouse hat represents Mind Control. She is sitting on the phallic symbol that is the tank’s cannon. In other words, she is a pawn of the Illuminati agenda.

The Denver International Airport/NWO conspiracy theory.

superb article.

you want to believe.

Denver International Airport ups the conspiracy talk by installing a seven-ton, 26-foot-tall concrete sculpture Anubis.

They only want you to believe that it's promo for the Denver Art Museum's King Tut exhibit.

This airport thing is blowing my mind, I've never heard about it before. There are some frightening people out there.

Awesome New Scientist article:

Living in denial: Why sensible people reject the truth

This should also go in the anti-vaxxer thread.

DIA conspiracy theory is the best one going these day imo

What's with giant statues of Anubis?

DIA airport conspiracy theories are some of the craziest/stupidest/most entertaining. P sure Anubis will have a hard time topping the mustang unless it has a big veiny ballsack showing, too.

This is your competition, Anubis! How can you top glowing eyes?

How did the artist who made the devil-horse not realize how much it looked like a devil-horse?

By being killed by the statue itself before he could complete it!

That's another thing, Anubis: you have to kill one or more of your creators.

Ok, but if I was making a totally innocent stallion, and half-way through the process I noticed it was looking a little demonic, I'd put a halt to the construction before my statue became possessed and destroyed its maker. Like, don't finish the thing and then be surprised when it rises up against you to kill you!

That CEOs resigning one Tracer posted above also mentions the airport! People on the forum are like "omg 50 ceos in 3 weeks? CHECK ACTIVITY AT DIA!".

Like... wut.

I love the DIA conspiracy theories so much. That mustang is fucking sick, too.

Ol' Bluecifer there was originally supposed to SHOOT LASERS from his eyes!

Amusing ironic looking line in the denial article:

"Many denialist movements originate as cynical efforts by corporations to cast doubt on findings that threaten their bottom line."

"Denver is scheduled to be the Western headquarters of the US New World Order during martial law take over," Icke wrote in his 1999 book, The Biggest Secret. "Other contacts who have been underground at the Denver Airport claim that there are large numbers of human slaves, many of them children, working there under the control of the reptilians."

I read about Icke last night after readign this thread. I'd heard his name but never really looked up who he was. It was almost Alan Patridge-like, the way he went from being a liked, succesful BBC sports presenter to an utter nutbag. Going on Wogan and saying "I am the son of god"?? Bloody nora. Why didnt someone get him some mental help? He's clearly ill.

Because a lot of people need to read stuff about The JOOISH Cunspiricy without falling afoul of European hate speech laws.

Subsitute the word 'want' for the word 'need' up there.

I'm trying to figure out what these slaves of the reptilians do at the airport. Are they whipped and forced to push a big wheel that makes the luggage movers operate?

IMAGINE THE FLAMES FROM A MOON SIZED FIRE

RE: Anubis.

Recently I read Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger Vol. 1 and a theory that he entertains for most of the book is that we were visited by people from the Sirius system, that occult knowledge of this visitation is prevalent in ancient Egyptian religious symbolism (and the closely related calendar/astrological systems), and that most of the advanced occult groups (he focuses on Crowley's) regard this as top-level secret knowledge.

Anubis could very well be Sirius B. Anubis is black skinned, and Sirius B. is the dark companion star in the Sirius system, which "is also known colloquially as the "Dog Star", reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major. The heliacal rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile in Ancient Egypt.

Btw, I just wanna say that I love conspiracy theories (as long as they aren't too racist/anti-Semitic/horrible) and even tho I can't really believe them myself, I think they're a super awesome human way of interacting with the world. It seems very human to me to invent these ridiculous stories for how our civilizations came to be. It's like this prehistory thing, looking up to the sky and thinkin about god or aliens or whatever to explain how mysterious and weird life is. it gives me big <3 feelings

kind of have a very different reaction. less "oh, how creative" more "what the fuck is wrong with your brain".

xp

The older I get, the less I can derive enjoyment from conspiracy theories... the more they all seem like fruiting bodies of minds in agony. And also it seems like they ALL GET RACIAL when you trace them far enough, it's kinda depressing.

First commenter on that New Scientist article is blisteringly OTM:

People deny because there's today little if any culture for uncertainty and lack of knowledge. There's no room for not knowing. One either buys the news or one denies it, but one ought to have SOME opinion and preferable a strong one, reasonable or not.

I think the problem could be greatly alleviated if there was a better awareness for the limits of our understanding generally and what uncertainty there is and that uncertainty is just part of life as much as of science. I have noticed that it happens people learn that something about a scientific theory is unclear even to the experts and they take this as reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater, (not even the experts know!) henceforth ignoring (denying) any evidence in favor of the previously discarded theory (not able to admit their own lack of knowledge, trying to erase uncertainty).

I need that pinned above my desk for all time, srsly.

fruiting bodies of minds in agony

I like this image!

I feel like blaming "The Da Vinci Code" indirectly for Lady Gaga & Jay Z's Illuminati symbolism. Not that these pop stars couldn't be winking publicly about their secret knowledge, but it comes across to me as strictly a fashion thing. Due to Dan Brown there's now public awareness and a market for this kind of stuff. The symbolism is use in the pop world as evidence of elitism and power in an industry that is perpetually selling the public on status and glamor. Just trade a Hummer for a pyramid with an eye in it. There doesn't seem to be any ideological or philosophical discussion introduced through these symbols, merely superficial representation.

What I'm saying is it would bug me less if Jay Z was boasting hidden knowledge of moon bases or Lizard People or a hollow earth or something.

lol, do Lady Gaga + Jay-Z really have illuminati symbolism?

The arguments for those "celebrity/movie has Illuminati imagery" are sooo silly – what it typically comes down to is the person finding circles, triangles, and things that look like eyes in things. Like I was watching some video that claimed Rocky swallowing eggs was "Horus imagery." Uh....sure.

Read some of those sites, they're hilarious.

"In this fashion shoot - a photo shoot thematically based on Illuminati imagery - Lady Gaga is shown alongside Illuminati imagery! Clearly this proves she is a high level member of the Illuminati."

Posted about it in a diff thread

Is Art Bell still on the air? Or did he eventually get trapped in another dimension or something? I used to love listening to him whenever I happened to be out driving late at night. I remember one time someone had brought him a time machine, and he spent the whole part of the show that I heard going back and forth about whether he should try it. I never heard what happened.

Oh I see he died a few years ago. Or DID he.

He died in 2018. I remember he disappeared from the air and said his son had been kidnapped and infected with AIDS. I thought it was a weird stunt but it turned out to be true.

Someone sent Art this tape, which was supposedly recorded by scientists who were mining in Siberia. They drilled down nine miles until they smashed through into earth's hollow core. They measured the temperature at 2,000 degrees. And then they dropped down a super-sensitive microphone to listen to the tectonic movements. But they accidentally recorded the moanings of souls in hell.
So Art plays this tape on the air, and people call in to discuss the breakthrough because there are questions of methodology to be discussed. They're not saying, well, maybe hell doesn't exist, or even if hell exists, it's probably not in the center of the earth, or it would be easy for anyone to fake this. They're discussing the logistics of drilling a nine-mile hole and then dangling a microphone into it.

the tape of the souls in Hell circulated among credulous evangelicals for a while. The recording of the souls screaming in torment turned out to be pitch-shifted from the 1972 Mario Bava film Baron Blood

The Cydonia Face on Mars is another Art Bell classic.

Do super sensitive microphones like high temperatures? Record without distortion at them and remain intact etc

&isn't the earth hollow anyway? I mean otherwise how would the Nazis live down there? I saw a documentary on SyFy

All about the mic placement, I’m sure Steve Albini would know.

If I was to record the moanings of souls in hell I'd use a Behringer mic.

use a disposable mic cos the souls in torment aren't exactly trustworthy innit?

Thanks to a trove of old ’90s Art Bell episodes on Archive.org, I listened to a bunch of them while rewatching The X-Files last year. It was fun but tainted by the suspicion that if I googled a lot of these folks, they are probably now right-wing cranks. I mean, they were cranks back then, but the show/topics often had an apolitical air that made even government conspiracies a bit more fantastical in the vein of "Bigfoot is real" rather than "Dems are secretly sex trafficking children”. Fantasy, really.

Ditto The X-Files, too. The show didn’t have right-wing intent—all that post-Watergate paranoia leaned left, if anything, especially when it tied stuff like Operation Paperclip into its mythology—but it was hard for the modern political environment not to shade my viewing. I mean, the big baddie of the show is basically the deep state, and there’s whole plot about a vaccine that is a cover for collecting DNA from abductees.

That’s basically Glenn Greenwald’s whole schtick—Mulder used to seem like an anti-establishment leftie, now he’d be read as a right winger.

I'm not usually a fan of disinformation pranks but I'll make an exception here

I was thinking about this recently and I wonder if the main difference is scale. The deep state conspiracy was small in number and hidden, whereas now the conservative conspiratorialism is massive and all-encompassing, everyone is in on it. In some ways conspiratorialism on the right isn't really even conspiratorialism, its things out in the open, democracy, bureacracy, regulations, laws, administration. Groups of people having a meeting is inherently suspect, it should be one guy telling the others what to do

That x-files type conspiracy stuff seems the anomaly though, not what we see today

all digital media is turning teal

Mr Beast is the antichrist.

Antichrist has fewer subscribers

i'm spreading my own conspiracy theory. it goes like this. joe biden had hunter arrested - instead of the phony plea deal that was just a red herring or a macguffin or something - and he will have him convicted and then anyone who has ever done drugs will not be able to buy a gun in the future. it will be called: The Hunter Law.

i'm still working on some of the details...

the fact that a (sinister but unpspecified) "THEY" can "CONTROL THE WEATHER" goes back at least to kurt vonnegut's brother bernard discovering silver iodide is effective in cloud-seeding -- plus there's a famous funny-cringey passage in trotsky's LITERATURE AND REVOLUTION where he declares that mankind will one day (after the revolution, via machines) ) master all of nature including the waves and the clouds ect ect

anyway there was a little old lady -- querulous yet also vociferous -- explaining loudly to the whole tolerant post office, as plymouth prepares for STORM AGNES to make landing, that the russians can stop and start tempests at will, which is why the tanks and rockets in the mayday parade are never seen to get wet

Newsweek agrees with her! Except, in 2017, it didn't work (and good luck with Ms Agnes Storm, iodide or otherwise)...

Aye, right enough, ye meet some right zoomers when ye're waitin' tae cash yer giro.

I'm just going to assume the study leading to the current headline "Sitting all day increases dementia risk — even if you exercise" is total bullshit being propagated for the benefit of ... shoemakers?

ALL DOCTORS AGREE: STOP EATING THIS VEGETABLE IMMEDIATELY

I haven't thought of Above Top Secret in years, but I heard that the site just collapsed - everyone locked out of their accounts, the owners have ghosted, threads falling apart from spam attacks, one or two volunteers haphazardly trying to keep it all together. Fascinating to see any 20+ year community immediately pivot to cannibalism once the mods disappear.

This is an admittedly minor conspiracy, but I'm pretty sure that the nation's convenience store workers have agreed to stock all the sodas facing backward so you can't easily tell what they are.

Inconvenience stores

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

who are all of you?

This seems inevitable, only a couple of years living internet left I think

The problem I see with Dead Internet Theory is that the internet isn't self-sustaining. Humans work to tend and pay for it in return for a perceived benefit. As the percentage of fully-automated interaction rises there will be a point of diminishing returns to the real humans who pay for its continuation.

Either an equilibrium will be achieved or the internet will swiftly die. A similar mechanism is present in biology, where parasites that kill their hosts before they can find new ones will quickly perish as a species. A Dead Internet would look like an empty abandoned mall, instead of a mall full of zombie shoppers looking for living brains that never arrive.

I mean a dead internet will still be useful for shopping/banking/streaming, it will just not be useful for social interactions or searching for information

always amazed at how much more difficult it is to search for things anymore

my main task on the two hiking websites I help moderate is killing seo spam.

speaking of conspiracies...I was reminded by my brother that I was the victim of one in 5th grade. I was accused of being part of a conspiracy to cheat in the elementary school spelling bee.

Never mind the fact that I got 32/35 right on the qualifying test to get into the final round. My mother was in the audience and everybody insisted she was mouthing the letters of every word to me. Maybe she was, idk. But I wasn't looking at her. Nor could I read lips (I still am not great at it). and also, the words weren't very hard. even by elementary school standards.

but like everybody kept coming up to me for 3 months saying EVERYONE KNOWS YOU CHEATED any time they saw me or the bee came up, and saying my mom fed me the answers, and that we had pre-planned this system of cheating. eventually I told someone "well I'm sorry these words are hard to YOU, but I actually know things" and subsequently got punched in the stomach.

Woah, that’s fucked up

That's like Quiz Show Part II
