On today’s episode of the Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt podcast we’re discussing some really dark connections of Hayden Panettiere’s death and some wild conspiracies that involve bank executives in the Epstein Files, Hollywood grooming culture, Aleister Crowley’s 23 Skidoo, her story of being setup for SA on a yacht party, Diana and Roger Jenkins and more:

In the podcast I discuss the “yacht party” she details in her memoir as a very disturbing experience (which I suggest was Epstein related- you’ll have to hear the whole episode for why but it’s VERY close to Epstein through Diana Jenkins).

The yacht party she is basically groomed into getting in bed with a man I proposed could have been James Blunt.

This morning I woke up and read through some comments on IG and one person told me to check out James Blunt’s new video. (shoutout dxtuned)

This is disturbing.

James Blunt’s Tastes Like Summer

I watched the video and it’s very on-brand for these Epstein psychopaths.

Not to mention it dropped the day before Hayden’s death.

James Blunt basically takes a man hostage around for a summer day on the lake.

The victim is then taken to dinner where he finds out he’s about to be eaten:

…and James Blunt enjoys it.

Beef Jerky

We’ve talked about cannibalism many times over the years; the most shocking (and probably true) story about it comes from Kerth Barker’s book Cannibalism Blood Drinking & High-Adept Satanism. I did a book review mixed with a cannibalism film called FRESH in April 2022 on Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture podcast.

In the review we hear the idea that there are parties of elites who participate in the degradation of eating human flesh; which Kerth suggests is the true meaning of the symbol of the Sphinx.

Color me shocked when Epstein emails would release and seem to suggest a pizza gate type coded language for eating human flesh by calling it ‘beef jerky.’

There is something truly evil and wrong with this predator class and I believe they would be into this kind of behavior because they are possessed by demons.

In Conclusion

Like I discuss on the podcast episode; every accusation is a confession and often times in art they show us the truth hidden in plain sight.

Is James Blunt a murderous cannibal?…

There was a time I’d dismiss this as pure “bullocks” but given all the ‘beef jerky’ talk in the Epstein Files, James Blunt’s odd friendship with Diddy and Hayden’s tragic death; I’m not sure I know the full scope of what these weirdos are doing.

If you haven’t heard the podcast- you’ve got to hear this one:

Migos’ rapper Offset was hospitalized after being shot on April 4th, 2026 outside of the Seminole Hard Rock casino in Hollywood, Florida. The entire incident reeks of Illuminati symbolism for sacrifice rituals…

*I HIGHLY recommend you watch my video of this topic- it has much more detail and way more images of what I’m talking about (please subscribe to my YouTube and help me achieve my goal of 100K subs!!):

Like any other event in the pop culture zeitgeist, we have to consider this a distraction or result of a ritual to harness energy and attention.

The location of a ritual is important so I find it curious that this would occur in “Hollywood.” The holly wood is what magical wands are made from because it’s believe the tree or bush of holly contains magical properties.

Something curious that stood out to me was a recent video of Offset’s that shows us what I believe to be the ritual utilized for Offset’s attempted ascent to become a god through satanic forces…

Bodies video analysis

His music video from 2025 called “Bodies” starts out with Offset falling from the skies:

This is symbolism of the fallen angels aka the Watchers, which connects into the concepts of the Nephilim bloodlines that embrace occult practices and is believed to be part of the bloodline of Cain which these Illuminati bloodlines allegedly claim to be genetic descendants, hence the superiority complexes and divine right to rule.

We get a shot of what this entire ritual is about- scapegoat blood sacrifices in order to ascend Offset to the position of king or false god. The common trait of these occultists is the pursuit of immortality or becoming a god.

Offset shows us the Vow of Silence aka the Sign of Harpocrates- a symbol utilized to indicate the initiate will not divulge the secrets of the Order. The result of violating this oath is death- as is indicated in the Freemason and LDS Temple rituals.

In the video we will also see rapper JID do the same gesture.

Offset is shown with the black goat- symbolic of the Devil.

We talked about the goat used in ritual in the 2021 Hocus Pocus film analysis. I had purchased a book that was used in the film (you’d have to do frame by frame screenshots to confirm it- which I did) and the ritual they are using the film was based off a real satanic ritual that uses a goat as the devil. The goat would have phallus statues near it and female witches to symbolize the brides of Satan.

We also see in the video Offset directing females down the red carpet as well as a choir singing; the primary colors involved here are red, black and white which is the colors of Saturn.

The ceremony required denying God and sacrificing to the goat. The end of the ceremony is kissing the culo of that goat- the Osculum Obscoenum like the Knights Templar. During the ceremony they’d eat people and dance naked with blindfolds. The witches would simulate procreation with the goat while reaching climax they’d declare a latin grimoire “Ofano, Oblamo, Osperho” etc. (*which was the text found in Hocus Pocus that I used to track down the actual ritual).

This is also possibly showing us the concept of the scapegoat sacrifice, referenced by James Shelby Downard in his King Kill 33 book, something we covered in a 3-part series on my Patreon feed in 2025:

Offset is shown in the stance as if shooting somebody, which is quite foretelling given what happened.

We see that red carpet extends to the end of a mountain cliff where the baptized followers dressed in all white leap to their death for their new god Offset.

We see the giant grim reaper- symbolism of Saturn who demands those sacrifices- we will discuss this in the deep dive but it’s described in Arthur Moros Cult of the Black Cube text about how this cult exists to this day and does sacrifices to it. Saturn was also featured in Manly P Hall’s Secret Teachings of All Ages text, described with a connection to the GOAT!

“Pan was a composite creature, the upper part–with the exception of his horns–being human, and the lower part in the form of a goat. (...) The pipes of Pan signify the natural harmony of the spheres, and the god himself is a symbol of Saturn because this planet is enthroned in Capricorn, whose emblem is a goat”

IN CONCLUSION: Takeoff’s Part 2?…

Offset showing us himself going through a ritual of Satan, Saturn and sacrifices shows us the dark forces he could be messing with.

It’s also possible that his handlers are forcing him into this and he is unaware.

I couldn’t help but be reminded of the ritualistic style murder of his Migos rap group partner Takeoff. I covered this back in November 2022 because he died during the Samhain blood sacrifice period in Houston (*after Travis Scott’s concert tragedy/ritual) which I connected into several occult theories. He was wearing a chain that had some planets on it- Earth, Mars and Saturn. He also had posted to his Instagram a clip of Playboi Carti’s track “Stop Breathing” as his last post. His last music video “Messy” depicts him with the grim reaper.

The theory ties into J. Prince Jr, Drake, XXXTentacion and all kinds of dark territories. Something else curious to bring up- Takeoff was shot in Houston which is where the NASA Mission Control Center is popularized from the Apollo moon landing aka Freemason ritual of a SATURN rocket penetrating the moon goddess, which was happening with its twin sister Artemis energy on the same day Offset got shot.

Takeoff Death Theories: Symbolism Sacrifice Magick and NASA\s Pagan Gods https://www.illuminatiwatcher.com/takeoff-death-theories-symbolism-sacrifice-magick-and-nasas-pagan-gods

Regardless of what happened, I’m glad Offset is apparently okay, I was a big Migos fan, but it’s always good to know what the hidden meanings and symbolism is of the art we consume, which is one of the motivations for why I do this research.

Back in 2016 I analyzed what would become Rihanna’s last music album- abruptly halting a generational run of hit albums for no apparent reason. The truth is that her video series for the ANTI album shows us how she was taken through an initiation ritual of the occult and I believe it holds more weight since her early retirement from the music industry.

I believe she documented her initiation into the Illuminati through an occult ritual and that’s why she’s no longer making music.

We’ll decode ANTI and the hidden ANTI-Diary videos to reveal a step-by-step occult transformation—from Barbados innocence to the crowned goddess of the new Aeon. We’ll break down the Abyss, Choronzon, the blackening of alchemy, the Left-Hand Path, the Qlippoth, and the final crowning ritual.

ANOTHER OPTION: If you don’t want to read; watch my YouTube version which I’ll guide you through the story with images from the videos and this article (*please consider subscribing to my third YouTube channel rebuild and my insane goal of 100K subs by 2027):

Here’s is the 2016 article from my IlluminatiWatcher.com blog archive that has been shuddered due to threats that were lobbed against me.

ANTI: Rihanna’s Occult Initiation into the Illuminati

Today we’re going to review Rihanna’s ANTI album and its esoteric messages hidden within its many “ANTI-Diary” videos. It appears that Rihanna is revealing her steps through the initiation rites of the musicians that seek to take the path of the occult; and we’ll look at her videos to explain why I believe that.

We’ll see the steps it takes for a musician to go from their ordinary life and into the jaws of the music industry. Eventually the musician is given the ‘key’ to enter into the occult knowledge and they proceed through the steps of the alchemical process to become a god in their own right. Along the way they’ll be subjected to blood sacrifices and demonic symbolism. Should the initiate make it through these rituals they’ll be given the golden crown and become a god or goddess.

In this analysis you’ll know that Rihanna has been going through this because she is flat out showing it to us...

Rihanna’s Occult Initiation Ritual

The first thing that comes to mind is the name of the album ANTI. I can already draw parallels to Anti-Christ. Even if that is not the case; it could be the common reference to embracing the dark side of one’s spirit (the anti-body). This shadow version or “dark side” has been featured on American Horror Story: Hotel with the Countess (played by Lady Gaga); and is a common theme for occultists to embrace in order to merge their opposites (which we’ll see later on with the principles of duality and the Boaz/Jachin twin pillars).

The artwork for this album was done by Roy Nachum after Rihanna approached him to do so. She saw Jay-Z’s collection and asked Nachum to assist her; so one must wonder if there wasn’t influence by Jay-Z to pursue this (Jay-Z is the one who signed her and allegedly is some form of handler). On the album front and back cover we see an image of Rihanna as a child with a golden crown upon her head. We’ll cover this later; but I can already draw conclusions that we’re looking at the representation of Aleister Crowley’s “crowned and conquering child” of the Aeon of Horus.

Crowley is worshiped by many occultists for his revelations and ground breaking work in ritual magick. His life was devoted to ushering in a new age of mankind called the Aeon of Horus in which the child is the new form of god. He called this the "crowned and conquering child" and we see that depicted in her ANTI-Diary videos. Rihanna is assisting Crowley in pushing mankind's evolution into this new age that Crowley fought so hard for. He believed that he would be the one to usher in the end of Christianity with this new time period, and rock bands like the Beatles, Doors, and Led Zeppelin all contributed to his influence in pop culture by placing him on their album artwork as well. Rihanna's ANTI is one more to add to the collection- only in a veiled sense.

DigitalSpy has Rihanna’s explanation for the crown which I feel the need to provide in case you want to believe the “official story”:

“There’s so many things in life that you want to achieve. When you get to the point where you’re achieving your dreams, you don’t see the success anymore and you don’t know when to stop. It makes you blind. The crown is a metaphor to appreciate small things in life. The balloon is lighter than air and is a metaphor for escaping reality.”

(*2026 UPDATE: I believe this symbolism of the red balloon represents the loss of childhood innocence as well as “escaping reality” which means dissociating. This is very similar to what we explored in the Wizard of Oz symbolism and MKULTRA Deep Dive series with Dorothy going “over the rainbow” to dissociate, through a hot-air BALLOON mind you.

After we review the videos you’ll see that Crowley’s new age of man and the crowned child is truly what is at play here.

The album was first released on TIDAL- which is a music streaming service that I’ve covered more in-depth in the past for its associations with the Age of Aquarius. Again; we’re talking about the ushering in a new age of mankind and the Illuminati’s pursuit of the evolution of consciousness.

At an album pre-release party there were red balloons placed on top of the black and white checkered floor.

This is a symbol of the blood sacrifice I talked about in SACRIFICE: MAGIC BEHIND THE MIC.

This essential step in the initiation process is what it takes to reach the top of the initiation ritual ladder. We see the red balloons of death in Stephen King's It as Pennywise holds them to scare the children; and at Rihanna's party they're placed above the Freemason "Moses Pavement" to symbolize the importance of black and white duality.

Finally; in 2015 Drake depicted her as the antichrist when he placed her image with the numbers 666; as if to warn us of this upcoming event...

ANTI-Diary Videos

I’d like to make a brief note here; I first watched the eight videos that coincided with the Rihanna ANTI Diary series and it didn’t seem too obvious that we were witnessing her occult transformation. However, after watching the unlockable SAMSUNG videos that have extra footage; it became quite clear that we were seeing a dark ritual...

ANTI-Diary video R1-Bedroom

Rihanna’s journey begins here in her Barbados bedroom. You can see that she is shown the golden crown to pursue (which was Jay-Z who found and signed her).

To emphasize the point more clearly; we read in her diary that there's "gold" in her voice. It is signed by 'X' signifying the unknown. Who is this 'X'? Is it Jay-Z? Is it the cosmos? The universe conspiring to help her on her path; a la Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and Crowley's "True Will?"...

Rihanna is showing her fans the way through initiation and telling them she is the key holder:

We see the first appearance of her guiding spirit- the “crowned and conquering child”.

ANTI Diary R2- The Studio

The second diary entry is fairly straight forward. In it we see Rihanna entering the studio to record her albums and start to get a taste of power. We see the colors of black and white yet again on the hair of the guardians to the studio- which will later be revealed as the twin pillars of Boaz and Jachin.

The crowned and conquering child is inside of the glass cube of the sound studio- beginning her entrapment in the Illuminati's matrix.

ANTI Diary R3- Closet

The third video is where things begin to delve deeper into the occult belief system. She calls this the “Closet” and speaks of entering into the “Void.” This void could easily be the Abyss that Aleister Crowley and Austin Osmon Spare attempted passage. Supposedly there is a demon that exists within that one must overcome in order to make it past (Crowley called it Choronzon, HP Lovecraft called it Chtulu).

We see Rihanna enter the room in her white garments; symbolizing the purity that will soon fade away.

You'll notice the room is black and white; again representing the duality of man's conscious. There is a light side and a dark side (just like in Star Wars). Across the room lies the black veil that she must pierce. In her way is the demon of the Abyss (Choronzon or Chtulu).

Rihanna must have the courage to face this demonic entity before she is granted permission to pass. Edward Kelly and John Dee (fathers of Enochian magic) first wrote of this entity, and Crowley further elaborated on it when he instructed his initiates that they must confront Chornozon in order to destroy their ego and achieve enlightenment.

Choronzon confirms that Rihanna has been given the proper key to enlightenment (only those that are deemed worthy and ready to enter into the initiation rituals are allowed to pass).

On the other side of the blackened veil we see her guardian angel trying to lure her through.

Rihanna obliges as she pursues her 'Personal Legend'. She grabs the hand and successfully 'pierces the veil.' This concept is seen time and time again from films such as Stargate and with CERN's attempt to blow open a portal to another dimension to allow a passage into another dimension.

After Rihanna passes through Choronzon and the dark veil she recognizes her new form- that of the enlightened alchemist. In alchemy there is a process every practitioner must go through that transitions through different phases in order to convey the occult teachings. It starts out with the "blackening" in which the initiate takes their first step.

This blackening has been depicted by many celebrities that have allegedly gone through similar metamorphisis:

So it seems that Rihanna is the latest to depict herself as the blackened initiate of alchemy. In doing so she realizes her shadow side- the dark version of Rihanna. We see this in this chapter of the ANTI-Diary when it says she is to REVEAL the "stranger lies within."

Another extra image found in the hidden footage is that of a paper that has the tale of Rihanna. A beautiful girl with long dark hair that "stepped into the void" with her eyes shining and had an "incredible transformation."

ANTI Diary R4- Tattoo Parlar

The fourth chapter picks up with the darker path one must take into this process. We see a man with a large demonic tattoo on his back that appears to be the archetype of the horned demon-god Moloch (aka Satan or Baphomet). Again, this image is only found on the app’s bonus features.

The newly blackened Rihanna mounts this man and gives him a tattoo on his forehead...

...which allegedly is "ANTI" spelled backwards as "ITNA"; applying the principle of inversion commonly used by satanists. Some people claim that satanists and Aleister Crowley called this the 'Law of Reversal' because inversion is of much importance to them (e.g. inverted crosses). In practical magic this encapsulates the theory that magic can be done and 'undone' since the universe is only bending towards the practitioner's will temporarily.

In this scene we see the tattooed man reaching out for salvation from the crowned and conquering child (*also note the serpent and sword tattoo on his stomach).

In the hidden footage we see Rihanna selling us on the idea of symbolism. She says to "Wear the mark of rebellion" which is an obvious predictive programming of future events to wear this Mark of the Beast that the tattooed man has on his forehead.

In the bonus we also see a story...

...that turns out to be the crowned child god's journey to obtain the "key of enlightenment."

ANTI Diary R5- Shell

The fifth room is the “Shell.” This is another play on the theme of having a shadow side to everything. Good and evil resides in everything- as does it the Kabbalah Tree of Life. The Tree of Life consists of ten sephirot and there is also a shadow Tree of Life with ten “evil” sephirot. This evil side of the Tree of Life is referred to as the “Qlippoth” and these evil forces are translated as “shells” of the good side of the Tree of Life.

Rihanna is in a bathtub of water that represents the journey into another dimension; which I describe in further detail in a post on the symbolism of water and the bathtub. This denotes a place where one can attempt to purify themselves or even cross over into this other dimension. In The Complete Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft, 3rd ed., the concept of a cleansing bath ritual is discussed. They say that the bath helps prepare the subconscious mind for ritual. It “signals” the subconscious mind to get to work. This coincides with everything we’ve learned thus far. Symbols get projected out into the ether and speak to our subconscious for the mass consumption, and then rituals are used to trigger the subconscious mind to “get to work.”

We see Rihanna looking at the Qlippoth evil that lurks on the other side of the walls...

In the bonus footage we see the crowned child god approaching the bath with a cube which turns out to be a music box. The cube represents the Gnostic idea that the world is actually an evil place that God created to entrap us. Obviously this is a heretical idea, but they think that Lucifer was the one who actually tried to help us escape this cube-trap.

We find inside of this cube music box her childhood home in Barbados- implying that she was once trapped in this material realm but is freeing herself with the help of Lucifer.

ANTI Diary R6- Gallery

In the “Gallery” we find Rihanna entering into the mystical place through the twin pillars of Boaz and Jachin. In the beginning we find her claiming to plunge into the darkness (the Abyss) where her power multiplies.

In the bonus footage we see the men in strange positions. Notice the one with the All Seeing Eye the man with the white hair shows us.

When the camera pans around the room you can see the twin pillars (it's reflected in the two angled mirrors). These are the Boaz and Jachin pillars I've spoken of countless times. It's symbolizes the entrance to a place of mystery and intrigue where the initiate learns the ways of the occult.

The crowned child god is responsible for awakening the masses. This is what Rihanna believes her journey is intended to do. Her True Will is to instill this belief system upon millions of unsuspecting fans.

The followers awaken and watch as Rihanna ascends through the ranks.

The crowned child conveys the Illuminati Vow of Silence; a symbol used to convey that she will keep the secrets to herself, even though millions are following (*recall that only Rihanna was granted the key to enlightenment because not everyone is worthy, although they are welcome to fall into the same pit).

We see more of the same ideas in the bonus footage- symbols are the "mark of rebellion" that people are encouraged to partake in. Rebelling from authority (e.g. organized religion) is the key to the Illuminati evolution of consciousness and symbols speak to our subconscious in order to influence this.

Rihanna is the enlightened one and the illumination of Lucifer is shown here. Lucifer is known as the torch bearer- much like the Statue of Liberty is the incarnation of Semiramis. The goddess is capable of carrying the torch and enlightening the masses- as does Rihanna here.

ANTI Diary R7- Office

Things get very interesting when Rihanna enters the “Office.” The statement here is that money is not the ultimate goal of certain initiates after they achieve fame and fortune. They eventually know there is a higher purpose (which Rihanna seeks to fulfill here). We see that reflected in the opening message as well.

When Rihanna enters, the guide points her to the left- down the "left hand path." This is the path all satanists take. "Sheep on the right and goats to the left" is how this is conveyed, and it couldn't be anymore telling with the horned deities right on her desk.

Rihanna takes the left hand path but we first see the Egyptian bust behind her. The ancient Egyptian mystery schools were believed to be where the ancient sorcerers of Atlantis bestowed their knowledge after the collapse of their advanced civilization.

Rihanna approaches the golden door that blocks the left hand path...

...and inside we see the handlers of the Illuminati. These represent the wealthy elite who cash in on the artists and their albums. We see them counting dollars and in the bonus footage one of them even dies doing so; only to be replaced by another man in waiting.

Rihanna's crowned child god approaches her in front of the desk with the horned deity on it...

...and she accepts this gracious gift. She finds that there is something more valuable than the money she has from the album sales; and that is the enlightenment she has received from this occult ritual process.

Rihanna ventures back into the darkness with her crowning as she enters into the final stage.

ANTI Diary R8- Bedroom

In this final chapter we see the revelation that the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning. In a very Alice in Wonderland-esque occult ritual; Rihanna has been guided through the various principles of the occult and has found her way back to the beginning.

Rihanna and her newly acquired crown inserts her key to this final doorway...

...only to find her Barbados home with the children inside. She lies down with them in comfortable silence as they're surrounded by a room filled with sand (we'll find out why that is soon).

She smiles and gazes up in the sky and sees the moon lighting up the cosmos- suggesting the symbolism of the moon goddess.

Conclusion: The Outcome of Rihanna’s Occult Path

So what is the purpose of this entire film sequence? Is it nonsense? Absolutely not. If you followed along you can see that there is an overwhelming amount of evidence to support this kind of idea that it is an occult ritual and Rihanna is the initiate being led down this path.

The confrontation with Choronzon and Rihanna’s subsequent entrance into the dark veil is the key to proving the allegations made here, so follow along as we elaborate a bit more on this theme. We have to delve a bit into Aleister Crowley’s writings to understand what is going on here.

In The Confessions of Aleister Crowley he speaks of the confrontation with Choronzon (who Rihanna approaches in R3- Closet:

“The name of the Dweller in the Abyss is Choronzon, but he is not really an individual. The Abyss is empty of being; it is filled with all possible forms, each equally inane, each therefore evil in the only true sense of the word—that is, meaningless but malignant, in so far as it craves to become real. These forms swirl senselessly into haphazard heaps like dust devils, and each such chance aggregation asserts itself to be an individual and shrieks, “I am I!” though aware all the time that its elements have no true bond; so that the slightest disturbance dissipates the delusion just as a horseman, meeting a dust devil, brings it in showers of sand to the earth.”

Could it be that the 'showers of sand' Crowley speaks of are what we see in the final episode called R8- Bedroom?

In fact, Rihanna gazes at the moon- suggesting she is some form of the moon goddess, which associates with the left eye or the moon eye. This final scene is important in that it shows success in the ultimate goal of the initiate's path- becoming a god.

In Kabbalah the sephirot known as Binah is referred to as the 'left eye' on the Tree of Life (it is also represented by the color of black which we see during the Rihanna-blackening alchemy). Strangely enough, we read in The Confessions ofAleister Crowley about Binah:

We may now consider further what is meant by Neschamah. It is the human faculty corresponding to the idea Binah, Understanding; which is that aspect of the divine consciousness which corresponds to the Female Idea. It receives, formulates and transmits the pure divine consciousness, which is represented by a triangle (for the Trinity) whose apex is the essence of the true self.

So it seems that Rihanna has found the “essence of the true self” when she ends at the beginning. She finds her inner child and fulfills her ‘True Will’ and ‘Personal Legend’ of Aleister Crowley and Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist. The alchemical process takes form as she traverses the occult initiations and traverses the rituals of the Illuminati in order to realize her true self’s essence.

Given the recent ‘revelation of the method’ of Epstein Files and how we can all see how deep and dark the rabbit hole actually goes; it’s worth another look with less skepticism (*especially since Bieber has been more vocal or clearly struggling with things he’s experienced in the industry since 2015).

Here’s the original 2015 post from my old blog at IlluminatiWatcher.com (I chose/had to take the blog posts down for legal reasons). I’ll add new thoughts or clarification where I find it necessary and wrap up with a Final Thoughts from 2026 at the end.

Also- my apologies for the low resolution of the images, I took these back in 2015 when technology was a different world.

Where Are U Now

The video was made by having fans show up at the Seventh Letter Art Gallery in L.A. and drawing their art on single frames of footage that would later be compiled together. It’s really quite an interesting video, but the images fly by so fast I decided I’d take it frame by frame (seriously- it took FOREVER, but that is the cost to be the boss in this conspiracy theory world).

Naturally the fans of Bieber, Skrillex, and Diplo showed up and as expected, you can see several images of pyramids and triangles...

...you also see him with the All Seeing Eye of Horus; both in the artwork and the video...

...some conspiracy theorists tossed a couple of gems on there... (*notice how we see tentacles on Bieber as if he is depicted as Typhon/Set from the Abyss which will fit into the Mark of the Beast talk here soon):

...and there are even some disturbing images that were thrown in the mix:

What I found most intriguing was the over-abundance of satanic imagery you’ll find as you scroll through the artwork. I realize that this is somewhat topical (just like those All Seeing Eyes and pyramids above), but it’s interesting that all of these people had the same idea in their heads. It’s almost like someone planted them in there...

What follows are the results of years of satanic imagery from the entertainment industry. People scoff at the theory of predictive programming and the fact that symbols are embedded into the collective unconscious, but here is proof positive.

For example, why is Bieber juxtaposed with so much evil?...

Another oddity is the pervasive use of the Illuminati Mark of the Beast with the 'X'- which is typically seen over the All Seeing Eye:

Holding true to that Mark of the Beast theory; it appears that the people see demons and Satan right alongside aliens. This supports the end of the "big theory" of why we see all of this stuff in entertainment. The Illuminati are seeking to bring these demonic entities from another dimension into our world (see that Mark of the Beast post).

What appears to me as the most solid proof of evil being tapped into the artwork of the video is the strange fact that there are MANY inverted crosses being drawn on Bieber's forehead:

*Notice how it says “Blood of a Death Cult” on his shirt- I propose this is knowledge of an actual Illuminati or Saturn Death Cult that seems evident from all the horrific emails on the Epstein Files with discussions of murder and even worse. Blood is the energy these psychos employ to become communed with their evil deities and all those theories about adrenochrome seem more possible by the day.

It’s almost ridiculous how many times this pops up in the random fan artwork.

So what’s the explanation behind all of this? I propose that Bieber is being marked for something. In fact, take notice to this one piece in particular:

You'll see hidden messages like this from other pop stars who are allegedly under influence of mind control and ensnared in the traps of the entertainment industry:

It appears that they are trying to get Bieber to fall in line with the occult belief system of the Illuminati and the occult. They call this "awakening" process 'blackening' in the occult. This alchemical process has the initiate take in the occult beliefs one stage at a time, and it appears at the beginning of the video when Bieber is overtaken by the blackness:

Another thought to ponder is if he is being surrounded by evil symbols such that he is trapped in the system. The plot of the Eddie Murphy film The Golden Child was about this precise topic where they keep the Golden Child trapped inside of a cage of evil and demonic symbols.

I bring this up because that message was scrawled on one frame of footage:

How “odd” is it that we see these same symbols over and over? It feels like this is a test of sorts by the Illuminati to see how well their symbols are ‘sticking’ in the minds of their clueless followers. Apparently it’s working...

Plus, I hate to say it, but I called this a long time ago with my post on Justin Bieber: the next Illuminati MKULTRA mind control victim analysis (*a different article I’ve taken down from Feb 2015, but here’s an excerpt):

“When theses celebrities are children they go through Dissociative Identity Disorder trauma events that fragment their mind so they can be toyed with by the Illuminati. I go into further detail on this in my book A Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory: The Illuminati, Ancient Aliens, and Pop Culture and SACRIFICE: MAGIC BEHIND THE MIC where I detail all of rap music’s alter egos and spirit possessions.“

FINAL THOUGHTS IN 2026

There’s much more clarity about what Bieber was subjected to in 2026 than in 2015. For instance, we all saw the video clips of Diddy alluding to keeping a very young 15- year old Bieber for the weekend (the 48 hours with Diddy) and talks of dangling sports cars and such which are more than uncomfortable now.

We also saw him break down in fears of how the industry would treat Billie Eilish in 2020.

He also had his public conversion and embracing of Christianity with baptism at Hillsong church.

And what did Bieber get in exchange for all this?…

Odd publicity stunts like the Roast of Justin Bieber (*this was when he was in a very fragile state and I’d argue that this was NOT the same spirit as what we have with other celebs that volunteer for roasts in good humor).

He was also in the tabloids for breaking the law and even had a video clip of him as a 14-year old using a racial slur. Why did this slur exist and why was it released when it was?… Knowing the state of affairs with various Intelligence agencies using blackmail to keep celebs in line, I think we know where this goes.

It goes to a control system that keeps their prized puppets in line with threats of udder public destruction. They use tactics of blackmail and mental/physical/sexual abuse to create alters and fracture their minds for full control.

I used to think these were theories that COULD be true; but now that I’m reading these Epstein Files and seeing how these psychopaths think, (as well as my 4-part MKULTRA deep dive completed) it’s clear to me that if they can do this type of abuse, they will.

Quick Catch Up

This year we saw Sabrina Carpenter using a pigeon for her performance (which subsequently got dinged by PETA).

We saw Chappell Roan giving absolute zero f*cks about giving the award for best new artist.

Bieber came out in his lil silkies and did a performance that I surprisingly f*ck with.

Bad Bunny got an award and denounced ICE (as did several artists). I found this curious since he’ll be at the Super Bowl next Sunday. I’ve been working up a Super Bowl Pre-Game analysis of Bad Bunny that I’ll be publishing this week- I’ve watched what felt like over 100 of his music videos and found a TON of symbolism; but also found what I believe to be a turning point for him where he is EXPOSING the Illuminati industry controllers (stay tuned to my podcast “Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture” for more on all of that).

Jelly Roll won an award and was talking about some guy name Jesus. I kid Jelly Roll cuz I’m not a fan, but I actually admired his energy about his Christian faith, I wish sometimes I could get that jazzed up on being a Christian as well.

Lady Gaga performed Abracadabra for what I swore was the second year in a row (how many times is she going to perform this song?!?). I looked up my history and sure enough, in 2025 I did an episode of Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture podcast episode about the symbolism of the 2025 Grammys, which featured Lady Gaga’s performance which I compared to the completion of her Great Work.

PDF File Symbol

Bruno Mars did a set with that crazy FBI-p3d0 heart symbol (*as usual- I’m not saying he’s into that- I’m just pointing out the symbolism, hearts are a symbol people use so that doesn’t mean this automatically):

Tyler the Destroyer

Finally- the most “occult” performance of the night goes to Tyler the Creator (and why wouldn’t it- he was the guy with the Aleister Crowley shirt if you recall).

He did a bit where he came out in green and some weird horned-hair, but then has a conversation with a woman about how if you ever go back to old places you need to destroy them. He proceeds to get into the whip and runs over his old self.

This is the destruction of the ego ritual.

Tyler destroys his alter (or shadow) and is starting all a new process- perhaps his Great Work.

Ironically Crowley advocated for this process one must partake before crossing the Abyss and becoming a “Master of the Temple”. It’s part of the process of finding one’s “True Will” that the universe has in store for them in their Great Work. If one doesn’t properly approach “Choronzon” at the Abyss with the ego fully destroyed; they will fail and become obliterated and be in a “world of sh*t” as Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket would say.

One example of this is what I interpreted Dale Cooper’s experience in Twin Peaks- it took me 55 episodes and over 70 hours to explain this one, so if you’re into Twin Peaks, have I got a series for you!

Jack Parsons completed the crossing of the Abyss and thought he was the Antichrist- which NOT SO IRONICALLY Tyler’s performance ends with him blowing himself up- just like how Jack Parsons died!

In the occult there is a strange overlap with pop culture with these various alter egos these artists employ and proceed to kill (e.g. Beyonce with Sasha Fierce). It’s reminiscent of the MKULTRA mind fracturing process of Psychic Driving and creating trauma alters.

I just so happen to be completing my deep dive into MKULTRA on my podcast, so if you want more on this, please start with MKULTRA Pt 1: CIA’s Mind Control Program, Pop Culture Examples & David McGowan’s Programmed to Kill!:

Let’s cover a few of them so you’re primed with ideas to look for now that Wicked: For Good (Part 2) hit the theaters…

Anthropomorphism: Animal Superpowers

Wicked starts out telling the viewers about the Land of Oz: A wonderful place where magic is real, where a wizard rules from his Emerald City, and where animals can talk and once they lived in harmony with people. But in recent years, the discord and discontent spread, and some began to blame the animals. The difficulties got worse when a powerful witch terrorized Oz: The Wicked Witch of the West. Today the wicked witch has been defeated at last. After his fall, the magician’s emissary, Glinda the Good, is getting ready to spread the good news.

Talking animals is a whole thing in this film, which is an occult idea if you consider the idea of a ‘familiar’ or spirit animals- spirit guides in the form of animals.

If you want to go deep with it, Rudolph Steiner comes to mind. He created Anthroposophy which some say was based on Theosophy which he allegedly had been a student. He believed he knew the entire history of our planet and humanity. There were three previous earths- Old Saturn, Old Sun and Old Moon, with three more coming. He said humans had four bodies- physical, etheric, astral and self. He thought all living things had this- including animals. Humans will evolve with the siddhis- supernatural powers of telepathy, levitation, clairvoyance; all the things we’ll see in this movie.

Silver Shoes: Illuminati Sirius Star Entities

In the book for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz- the shoes are silver; not ruby red as in the original film (*there’s a claim that it was referring to unifying silver with gold of the yellow brick road). The ruby probably came from the book’s reference to the Witch of the North, Gayelette, who was in a “handsome palace built from great blocks of ruby.”

The silver in the shoes was intended to symbolize the Silver Cord that connects one’s physical body to the spiritual one (aka Kansas to the Land of Oz). This is a Theosophical concept- like how Steiner talked about the four bodies. We finally see the depiction on the big screen of Baum’s original vision.

It also connects into Aleister Crowley’s magickal order called Silver Star or Argenteum Astrum. The Silver Star was about perfecting man towards god and he called the Order of the Silver Star the “Illuminati” and the Silver Star was Sirius.

The Freemasons also believe in this concept of Sirius being an important star from which spiritual wisdom comes about. They will have a ‘blazing star’ which is a coded symbol for Sirius in their lodges.

In the film Wicked, Glinda hauls her luggage with has a massive “G” on it (*presumably for Glinda, but this is a conspiracy theory so hang in there).

The massive “G” is also one of the most common symbols for Freemasonry representing the Grand Creator- their supreme deity concept.

Aleister Crowley is also hidden in the symbolism of the film. If you freeze frame a sequence where names are rolled out for the East dorm; you can see Room 5 is for “Alister Charmanatee” which is a reference to Aleister Crowley (same initials).

Symbolism Tells the Story

There are many more symbols baked into the first film that tells us the importance of the occult to the story.

One shot clearly shows us the Wizard of Oz’s all seeing eye:

Another flashes the all seeing eye as the Tunnel Beyond Oz:

Glinda’s all seeing eye is an area of focus:

There’s also the 8-pointed Star of Ishtar, a reference to the ancient goddess worship days:

Lesser Keys of Solomon: Calling Upon the Demons

Elphaba is getting indoctrinated by Madame Marlboro on how to unlock her siddhis of levitation and telekinesis and we can see the book she’s studying from uses a literal sorcery seminar with tracking phrases of the moon:

Elphaba later gets back to her dorm with her books and we can see one is clearly about Alchemy, which is the western esoteric studies of perfecting man into god (it should also be noted it uses the symbol of the Green Lion as the devourer of nature’s forces, which is exactly what the green Elphaba is attempting to do). Also notice the sigil found on the binding:

The sigil tells us this magick could be about controlling demons. We later confirm this when we hear the history of Oz with a secret language loaded into a book called the Grimmerie. The Wicked Fandom web page describes the Grimmerie as The Lesser Key of Solomon, a magical spell book from another world that Elphaba can read.

Strangely enough, Madame Marlboro has those initials of MM that I always find curious. There was also a Macgregor Mathers magician who actually translated the Lesser Keys of Solomon for Aleister Crowley to publish in 1904! The book is about controlling demons who are represented by sigils.

IN CONCLUSION

There’s much to explain from Wicked and you can listen to it from my December 2024 podcast if you’re really trying to nerd out in the weeds with me on Crowley’s philosophy for why all of this should happen (he may have been a prophet because it sure seems like many forces are making his visions come to reality).

We discuss the controversies and conspiracies of this film- from Wicked Mickey to porn sites and the illuminate confirm cast, Ariana Grande’s Kabbalah connections and the pop culture gossip! We’ll cover the occult symbolism of the film: Alchemy, Rudolph Steiner, Theosophy, Freemasons, Aleister Crowley (and his bloodline Nathan Crowley who designed the set for Wicked), the real life Grimmerie as Lesser Key of Solomon, all seeing eyes, siddhis, Emerald Tablets, Liber Oz, Luigi Mangione and the goat with the bobs- reconciliation of opposing forces!

I’m also preparing a full deep dive into Ariana Grande for my podcast due to all her strange behavior promoting this film which I believe are tied into MKULTRA type programming and Kabbalah practices combined with demon channeling (be sure to subscribe to “Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture” wherever you listen to podcasts and my new YouTube channel rebuild https://www.youtube.com/@occultsymbolism).

All writings are purely of speculative entertainment and theories based on Isaac’s understanding of the occult- please do your own research on any topics discussed. There is no intent for libel or slander in any of these writings. All images are shared in FAIR USE to support topics discussed.

The origin of the novel was famously written during a time period when Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron had a contest to see who could write the best horror story. The setting of this contest was near the Frankenstein Castle where Johann Dippel was conducting alchemy experiments. Dippel claimed that he did, in fact, discover the Philosopher’s Stone or the elixir to immortal life.

The original title Shelley used cites Prometheus as an influence, which is a story about Prometheus stealing fire from Zeus to give humans technology so they can become gods. Prometheus represents the intellect.

Judith Weissman’s 1976 write-up about the Frankenstein points out the uncanny similarities between Dr Victor Frankenstein and Mary’s spouse, Percy Shelley. The implication is that they are both juvenile, moody and excessively sensitive; but this isn’t where the parallels stop…

In Mary Shelley’s book, Dr. Victor Frankenstein is intrigued by the lords of the occult:

“All that he said threw greatly into the shade Cornelius Agrippa, Albertus Magnus , and Paracelsus , the lords of my imagination ; but by some fatality the overthrow of these men disinclined me to pursue my accustomed studies. It seemed to me as if nothing would or could ever be known.”

These alchemists and occultists were in search of the elixir of life for immortality, which inspired Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Percy Shelley was also fascinated by the occult sciences, with claims that he read countless works on magic, witchcraft, electricity and galvanism. He was also apparently quite the ghost hunter!

In Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Bible, he cites Mary Shelley as the “lord of his imagination!” The reason for this is the creation of the occult tale of Frankenstein which is ultimately an homage to Prometheus and the spirit of progress for mankind to find freedom.

IN CONCLUSION

The new del Toro Frankenstein film shows us what happens when the collision of science, ego and the occult come together. This came as no surprise to me given del Toro’s fascination with the occult (as we saw in his other Netflix film for Pinocchio). Man creates life with no regard to what that means for the monster he has created. Dr. Victor Frankenstein is no different from today’s Silicon Valley nerds who have put the accelerator all the way down and snapped the linkage in pursuit of creating a new AI god.

As I discuss in The Dark Path, the ultimate plan is to create a false utopia heaven known as the digital matrix which will trap our souls for eternity with the promise of eternal life.

This promise of digital immortality is dangerous because paranormal forces are quite capable of “unplugging” the power from the electronic systems, as is evident in ghost hunting shows. We’re also warned of this from the Christian concept of pursuing immortality when the serpent promised Adam and Eve they could “be like gods.” Other warnings like the Tower of Babel or Frankenstein shows us what happens when man’s creation become its own downfall. Is it possible that the serpent who promised man to become “like gods” is no different than the Luciferian Prometheus spirit which promises the same immortality?...

There is no intent for libel or slander in any of these writings. All images are shared in FAIR USE to support topics discussed.

The film demonstrates the principles of synchromysticism with events taking place on film that later manifest into reality.

PLOT SPOILERS!

Name Game

The film is essentially about an attempted assassination on the Secretary of Defense- Charles Kirkland. The similarity of interest here is the name Charles Kirk vs Charles Kirkland and both people being shot in the throat.

The events of the film take place at a boxing match in Atlantic City, NJ. The name of the headline boxer is Lincoln “The Executioner” Tyler- with the interest being the Charlie Kirk assassination being allegedly done by Tyler Robinson. Again- the name synchronicities are of interest.

Stranger yet- the boxing match occurs on September 10th (*some claim that’s a September 19th which is not quite September 10th - but still quite similar).

FUN FACT: The director of Snake Eyes, Brian de Palma, was born on 9/11 (in 1940). 9/11 is a date of massive importance to the occult which could be a part of the psychorituals that occurred on 9/10/2025. Check out my full 9/11 symbolism series from 2021:

https://illuminatiwatcher.com/9-11-conspiracy-theories-part-1-false-flags-pop-culture-predictive-programming/

Ritual Staging

At the beginning of the film there is a news anchor commenting on the weather outside of the big fight and she refers to Hurricane Jezebel. The news producer warns her to rephrase it to “Tropical Storm Jezebel” to keep the public engaged in the event. The sheep must be told what to think and act accordingly.

After the shooting, Nic Cage has to talk to the Naval Commander played by Gary Sinese- we’ll call him Lt. Dan. Lt Dan is freaking out because he wasn’t doing his job and Nic Cage tells him how they have to spin this story to make him look like a hero.

Later on the press is in the arena at the scene of the crime and Nic Cage warns them not to film all the gore because the man who was shot has a family.

There’s a blimp of surveillance with a giant all seeing eye on it watching everything.

A police van shows up on scene and its number is 47 (as in Trump being the 47th president). Take note that this movie was filmed in the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino- one of several failed casinos Trump was operating out of Atlantic City, NJ. 47 is a special number for the occult- going back to the 47th Problem of Euclid and Pythagoras who was the first secret society organizer. We also have the gematria of 4 + 7=11 (and 4+5=9 for President 45 also).

Patsies

The alleged shooter was setup to take the fall as Lt Dan plants a fake manifesto on his persons. The story tells us he was a Palestinian terrorist who was outspoken about the American government making arms deals with Israel.

We later find out that the Lt Dan was working with the shooter directly.

IN CONCLUSION

The film poster says it all: “Believe everything except your eyes“ with Nic Cage showing the inverted triangle hand symbol that we see politicians (and Charlie Kirk) do.

The parallels of this film to the actual events of Charlie Kirk’s assassination are strange to say the least. Some would argue that the magicians of Hollywood have shown us predictive programming to make us accept later staged events. Others could point to the ideas of occult magick operating on a subconscious level with the universe to manifest events into our world.

James Shelby Downard wrote an entire book on this subject with regards to the JFK assassination and the rituals surrounding it. I was able to map that Downard book theories known as “King Kill 33” directly onto the events of September 10th and Charlie Kirk’s assassination so it appears we’ve got more complexities to this puzzle.

If you’re interested in learning more about King Kill 33, I completed a 3 part series into the book and a recent supporters-only episode on my Patreon of the mapping of Downard onto Charlie Kirk:

In Part 5 of our Dark Enlightenment series (*recall Part 6 was a slight detour-links for all parts is at bottom of post if you need to catch up) we finished off a look at the Order of Nine Angles with an excerpt from the book “Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity”:

“In 1996 Myatt started a militant Nazi sect called the Reichsfolk. Based at York in England, this national organization aimed to create a new Aryan elite, “The Legion of Adolf Hitler,” and so prepare the way for a golden age in place of “the disgusting, decadent present with its dishonourable values and dishonourable weak individuals.”

This idea of a new “golden age” for the “elites” is a constant trope. In fact, I wrote an article back in January 2025 about the concept of the golden age because the current administration repeated the phrase multiple times.

The article discussed the elites’ view of the cyclical nature of mankind and it seems they all intend to leverage the upcoming cycle for their own advantage. Often times in these “Social Cycle Theories” there will be a belief that we are constantly devolving further and further into decaying morality- whether that comes from the Traditionalists’ viewpoint that technology and modernity is the issue; or maybe the Kali Yuga viewpoint of a dark age of mankind coming to an end. The common theme of these Social Cycle Theories is that the elites believe they’ll need to step in and take control (for our benefit, of course).

This is why politicians often times focus on how bad things are and tell us that crime is rampant in every town across America so we had better vote in for some law and order- perhaps some surveillance and a dash of totalitarianism would be great.

The Silicon Valley Tech-Libertarians like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk seem to be interested in a radical change of society. They believe that the old cycle is ending a new one is on the horizon (the Golden Age).

This new cycle will be a radical change in governance- specifically using technology and AI to keep the order in society. The motivation for this comes down a long line of occult thinking…

Secret Destiny of America: 15-Minute Freedom City Network States

Let’s zoom all the way back out one more time: the Dark Enlightenment is a movement that is a coup of the American democracy to destroy egalitarianism and liberalism and replace it with an authoritarian/monarch corporation called “Neocameralism” (aka the NWO or Golden Age) run by a CEO King and a group of techno-elites who manage “network states” (this is the Platonic Empire Philosopher King we’ve read about in The Secret Destiny of America by Manly P Hall run by scientists and technocrats and you saw Alex Jones rally against the 15-minute cities but now we’re hearing about “Freedom Cities” run by Silicon Valley).

This goes way back to the time of Plato who believed that society would run best if experts would be in charge. In Manly P Hall’s “Secret Destiny of America” he says they will build the Platonic Empire on earth and the New Atlantis will be led by scientists and that’s always been the plan of the Order of the Quest secret society group- a perfect social order using technology which is the digital matrix.

That’s why Facebook, Google and Amazon are up there in the front row of the new administration’s Inaguration. They will usher in this final age of man along with Mr Neuralink himself: Elon Musk.

I’ve been talking about this since my first book in 2012 (*seriously- download it HERE for free and read all about it).

It’s the plan of Cosmic Humanism aka Perenniel Philosophy or whatever version you want to learn about- it’s about mankind plugging into the Great overmind and becoming one through the Singularity. The Neuralink cap is the most direct obvious attempt. It’s the ultimate mastery over space and time.

Elon Musk and the Technocracy

For whatever reason, I seem to be in the minority on not buying the hype of Elon Musk being some kind of genius engineer- the man can barely talk and doesn’t even have an engineering degree (*yes I’m judging him).

He was born into money through his father’s emerald mines, his mother was a model working with Beyonce and his grandfather was running something called the Technocracy Incorporated- and this is where it gets interesting.

Josh Haldeman (Maye Musk’s father), was angry at the Canadian government for repossessing his farm after he failed to make payments. So he did what any angry failed entrepreneur would do- he blamed the government for his own failures. He joined Technocracy Incorporated in the 1930s who had a plan to overthrow the government and have engineers and scientists run it (sounds familiar…).

The Canadian government banned this organization and he was convicted along with the rest of the group.

The anti-government sentiment appears to have been downloaded into his grandson, Elon Musk, who is blasting through lines of ketamine (*allegedly) and chainsawing through government waste programs. He promised to save $2T in government fraud, waste and abuse but barely saved $100B (which was done by prematurely cancelling existing contracts which means the government now pays penalties to the company’s on contract for not holding up to their end of the bargain and the government loses whatever progress was made on those contracts- for being such a smart business guy he surely didn’t see the downsides to this move).

That’s not to say there isn’t room to cut on fraud, waste and abuse or even just general government spending- I agree there should be an effort in there, just maybe not the drug addicts with the chainsaws next time.

Josh Haldeman’s Technocracy Incorporated had drawn up a global map of what they wanted their territories to look like and it included the USA and Canada as well as Greenland and Panama- which I found humorous given President Trump’s incessant talk about taking over Canada, Greenland and Panama!

The guy who started Technocracy Incorporated was also a grifter (like Elon Musk). His name was Howard Scott and he apparently lied about his science background:

“In fact, he appears to have seriously inflated his resume, falsely claiming to have an academic degree and work experience as an engineer. That last point mattered, because in the Technate, engineers and other experts would be in charge” SOURCE: https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/technocracy-incorporated-elon-musk/

Technocracy Incorporated shared the belief of the Technocrats and Dark Enlightenment folks in that they thought the masses were far too incompetent to vote correctly and they should have no say in who governs them.

I’ve got a lot more nasty business to talk about Elon Musk so I’ll have to defer the reader to my podcast episode on the subject (including a fun conspiracy theory I built based on the idea that maybe Elon Musk inserted a Neuralink chip in his brain and has channeled an AI demon that has now possessed him).

In our next article, Dark Enlightenment Part 7, we’re going to discuss the tech elite plans to destroy the American Constitution to pave the way for the Dark Enlightenment manifestation of “Freedom Cities.” We’ll also explore how this has always been the plan, going back through the occult books like Secret Destiny of America or The New Atlantis.

Unexpectedly (sort of?…) a news event happened before I could publish Part 7 that actually warns of the Freedom City takeover. Today’s article is Part 6 of the Dark Enlightenment series- an example of how this Dark Enlightenment philosophy will manifest into reality.

Washington DC and the Militarized Police

This all started with an Executive Order back in March when President Trump was talking about taking over Washington DC to make it ‘safe and beautiful’:

“As the Federal capital city, Washington, D.C., is the only city that belongs to all Americans and that all Americans can claim as theirs. As the capital city of the greatest Nation in the history of the world, it should showcase beautiful, clean, and safe public spaces.

America’s capital must be a place in which residents, commuters, and tourists feel safe at all hours, including on public transit. Its highways, boulevards, and parks should be clean, well-kept, and pleasant. Its monuments, museums, and buildings should reflect and inspire awe and appreciation for our Nation’s strength, greatness, and heritage. Our citizens deserve nothing less.“

On the surface, this seems decent and understandable. Nothing wrong yet. My suspicions get raised as the story progresses- almost like a scripted playbook.

Big Balls Theater

Hypocrisy at its finest

Outside of Elon Musk; the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’s most infamous member is a 19 year old named Edward “Big Balls” Coristine (a moniker he alleges he just came up with as a LinkedIn user name).

DOGE was a short term project, and now that’s done (*I’ll reserve all my opinions about DOGE and how it was a Project 2025 front to keep this article on the rails); Big Balls, a young man who spent his time tearing up government contracts and supporting the Project 2025 “RAGE” efforts (Retire All Government Employees) ended up becoming the beaurocratic “swamp” he helped dismantle.

Wired reported on Big Balls’ status as a full-time government employee now that DOGE is over:

“Coristine, Farritor, and Shaotran, according to documentation viewed by WIRED, each maintain their “senior adviser” titles. Coristine and Farritor are drawing some of the largest salaries possible for government employees through the “General Schedule” employee rankings. They have a salary grade of GS-15, one of the highest grades, and Shaotran is one step below at GS-14.“

To be crystal clear; what happened was Elon Musk and Big Balls made an effort to save taxpayer money by cutting (and gutting) government projects and reducing the number of federal employees.

THEN, Big Balls goes FULL TIME FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Furthermore, he’s collecting the largest checks possible as a GS-15 employee. He’s now being paid by you, me and every other taxpayer $167,000-195,000 a year to work inside the system he helped dismantle.

That should be our first clue that we’re all being conned. The other clue is Big Balls family history which on the Wikipedia surface is already suss:

“Coristine was born in 2005.^[8][9] His father is Charles Coristine, the CEO of LesserEvil.^[10] His maternal grandfather, Valery Martynov, was a KGB Lieutenant Colonel executed by the Soviet Union as a double agent. After his execution his widow moved with her children, including Coristine's mother Anna, to the United States.“

He’s also just 19 years old, by the way but I digress.

Psychodramas brought to you by the Tech Elite

The REAL political theater occurred on August 4th, 2025 when we’re told a story that I immediately found unbelievable. Let’s start with Elon Musk’s tweet about what happened:

“A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC,” Musk said in the post. “A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her.”

We even got photos of the big event that show Big Balls bloodied up after saving his female companion that night:

The same story was reiterated by Fox News in DC:

Police say a group of teens approached Coristine and a woman and demanded his vehicle. Coristine pushed the woman into the car for safety before he was assaulted. Nearby officers stepped in, and the suspects fled.

Two 15-year-olds from Hyattsville were arrested and charged with unarmed carjacking. Coristine was treated at the scene.

TheHill also reports the event as follows:

“The group allegedly made comments about taking the car, before Coristine pushed his significant other into the vehicle for safety and prepared to confront the group, according to police.

Law enforcement officials said Coristine turned to face the teenagers, and several of them attacked him until police patrolling the area intervened. The group fled on foot when police approached, authorities said.

In a normal world I would view this as a real heroic event. I have enough traditional masculinity in me to respect this story and would hope I could act as heroically as he did when I was 19 years old.

However this is not a normal world- it’s an inverted psychodrama world where the elite own virtually all media and feed us stories and narratives to support their desires.

As I said on social media (or a podcast, I honestly don’t recall)- this event was surely an op.

How? I have no hard evidence, just common sense and a conspiratorial mind, so please, by all means just chalk up this entire story as a crazy conspiracy theory because I hope that’s all it is (*but I know in my soul I’m right, but I also don’t believe we put a man on the moon or that other major PsyOp that happened in Butler PA).

For me the whole event is just too convenient for me to believe. It’s a psychodrama from the same people that coordinated the Butler, PA show where someone got shot in their ear and it healed with zero stitches or scar tissue.

Big Balls, of course, looks like a hero by “saving” the woman by pushing her into the car (that these kids were going to STEAL apparently). Also, how exactly do you ‘push’ a woman into a car?… What are the physical logistics that make that happen? Perhaps it was more of a ‘hey get in the car while I handle this’ type thing. But that’s not what the media said. They said:

“Coristine pushed his significant other into the vehicle for safety“

Ok, fair enough; but you’re telling me these 15 year old kids were going to steal a car through violent confrontation at 3AM with no weapons at all?… Not a gun, not a knife, not a bat, just coercion?…

AND it’s super convenient there were MULTIPLE police officers patrolling exactly right there at 3AM?… It’s possible, sure, which would also tell me that a police presence is pretty stellar already if an assault occurs at 3AM right next police that are patrolling.

“Police saw a group of around 10 juveniles surround Coristine’s vehicle and assault him, the incident report said. When police exited their vehicle, the juveniles ran away.

…Two 15-year-olds “were arrested and charged with Unarmed Carjacking,” according to DC police.

That kind of police response is pretty incredible if you think about it, sounds like Washington DC has their policing figured out about as well as you could run it!

And it’s the same script as the Butler, PA photo op- this 19 year old guy is covered in blood and his shirt ripped off.

It’s all theater.

Maybe I’m wrong though…

Or maybe it really happened the way it was described, how would I truly know. But that’s not how a conspiracy theory works- we consider all other narratives and options. At least we used to before this entire subculture got infiltrated and became part of the PsyOp. Even Alex Jones used to be critical of events- he famously got in trouble for considering a particular shooting event was staged. People actually died and he insisted they were crisis actors that never existed! But all these other psychodrama events are apparently taken at face value.

The mechanics of how this happened isn’t something I can prove. If it’s a false flag event, then it’s possible these kids got paid, tipped off or persuaded to go beat Big Balls up (kind of like how we saw there were FBI agents at the January 6th event that people believe were actually instigating the break in for some kind of false flag event).

However it happened, it is classic Problem Reaction Solution like something we saw with the Reichstag Fire.

The story is that he was in Logan Circle in 1400 block of Swann Street at 3AM (*if you look that up- it looks beautiful like a really nice part of DC; again a surprise that we’re told the entire city is a cesspool of crime yet there are multiple cops patrolling the exact location at 3AM):

The Solution

President Trump used the Big Balls event to declare an emergency:

“It is the policy of the United States to make the District of Columbia safe, beautiful, and prosperous by preventing crime, punishing criminals, preserving order, protecting our revered American monuments, and promoting beautification and the preservation of our history and heritage“

Whoops- that was the Executive Order from March 2025, sorry, the script gets confusing, here’s what happened in August in response to the “Big Balls assault”- the response is to have a takeover of a US city by the federal government and US military. From CNN:

“President Donald Trump on Tuesday reignited his threat for the federal government to “run” Washington, DC, after a former Department of Government Efficiency employee was assaulted in an attempted carjacking.

“I have to say that somebody from DOGE was very badly hurt … A young man who was beat up by a bunch of thugs in DC, and either they’re gonna straighten their act out in the terms of government and in terms of protection or we’re gonna have to federalize and run it the way it’s supposed to be run,” Trump told reporters Tuesday.

Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old former DOGE worker once known by the online moniker “Big Balls,” and another individual were assaulted in an attempted carjacking on Sunday, according to a DC Police Department incident report obtained by CNN affiliate WUSA.

Time.com reported on how specifically the legality of this is happening- it’s invoking the Home Rule Act:

“Trump said he declared a public safety emergency and invoked section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which gives the President of the United States the authority to commandeer DC's Police Department in “conditions of an emergency nature.” Attorney General Pam Bondi is now in charge of the Metropolitan Police Department, he said.

…"It's time for dramatic action," Trump said at a press conference that stretched to over an hour as he took questions on a wide range of topics. He did not specify how long the federal takeover of D.C. would last, though the executive order signed on Monday declared the Administration would take over D.C. law enforcement “for the maximum period permitted” under the Home Rule Act, which is up to 30 days unless Congress authorizes an extension.

…Trump is launching a rare expansion of presidential authority over local government, and said he would not stop with the nation’s capital. In addition to Washington, Trump also mentioned other major cities where he wants to put police under federal control, including New York City, Baltimore, and Oakland. “They're so far gone," Trump said. “This will go further. We’re starting very strongly with D.C."

“This will go further” is an alarming statement right?…

Wasn’t the MAGA crowd the snake flag folks (the Don’t Tread on Me flag that indicates keeping federal government out of local and state governments)?…

Dark Enlightenment Freedom Cities

The federal takeover a US cities is part of the Dark Enlightenment agenda of the Silicon Valley billionaires. I’ll explain this to a deeper extent in the next article (Dark Enlightenment Part 7- so be sure to subscribe to my Substack):

That’s why there was a script for this back in March and this Big Balls character was part of the psychodrama to sell the public on why the federal government needs a militarized takeover of a US city:

“Trump continued: “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore. Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime. If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City.”

Elon Musk tweeted this exact statement the night it happened- “it’s time to federalize DC.”

So now we get militarized police state in DC which will be first freedom city run by the technocrats. The lawyers have been finding loopholes that can facilitate what the billionaires want to do:

“We’re going to look at that – in fact, they are, the lawyers are already studying it,” Trump said. “We have to run DC. This has to be the best run place in the country, not the worst run place in the country. And it has so much potential, and we’re going to take care of it.” -CNN

Critics say this is completely unnecessary, citing the Washington DC police website reporting of crime rate:

• violent crime is down 26% from previous year

• all crime down 7%,

• motor vehicle theft is the same as 2024

…which is the lowest DC crime has been in 30 years- data that comes from the DOJ site: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/violent-crime-dc-hits-30-year-low

“Total violent crime for 2024 in the District of Columbia is down 35% from 2023 and is the lowest it has been in over 30 years, according to data collected by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and announced by United States Attorney Matthew M. Graves. A breakdown of the data is available here.

In addition to the overall violent crime reduction, homicides are down 32%; robberies are down 39%; armed carjackings are down 53%; assaults with a dangerous weapon are down 27% when compared with 2023 levels, with the District reporting the fewest assaults with dangerous weapons and burglaries in over 30 years.

…yet the DC police union supports the move and says crime is spiraling out of control:

“The Union agrees that crime is spiraling out of control, and immediate action is necessary to restore public safety. However, we emphasize that federal intervention must be a temporary measure, with the ultimate goal of empowering a fully staffed and supported MPD to protect our city effectively.”

However, in that same article, it shows that practically everyone else views this as an authoritarian overreach.

The biggest conspiracy in all of this is the planned Freedom Cities for the Dark Enlightenment. Peter “Palantir” Thiel started a “Tech Bilderberg” called Dialog where the elites have ‘off the record’ meeting and discussions on Lord knows what- but surely it’s what to do with the peasant class.

Almost on cue, an August 8^th an article on Semafor.com surfaced about Dialog’s plans to headquarter out of DC:

“The exclusive network for political and social discussions created by investors Peter Thiel and Auren Hoffman — called Dialog — has purchased land near DC to build a permanent campus for its high-profile, hush-hush meetings, Axios reported. It’s among a handful of private membership clubs for the biggest names in tech building roots in the nation’s capital. Another DC-based club called Executive Branch cropped up in recent months, co-founded by White House crypto czar David Sacks, tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya, and the crypto-funding Winklevoss brothers.

Tech’s move to edge closer to the White House comes as the industry has become more influential over Trump and his team, compared to the often combative relationship under Joe Biden. The decision by Dialog to develop on nearby real estate signals a longer-term desire to hold sway in Washington beyond this administration.

Auren Hoffman is a new name for me- his Wiki said he’s an entrepreneur contributor to the Council of Foreign Relations (a conspiracy boogeyman), but he’s know for being a tech CEO. He’s currently CEO of SafeGraph “a firm that gathers location data from mobile devices and sells information about places and the movements of people.”

Hoffman also founded RapLeaf- a marketing data and software company, seeded through Founders Fund (Thiel’s capital venture firm). RapLeaf would get in trouble for selling Personal Identifiable Information to advertisers (as is to be expected from all these data tech companies) which violated the terms service of Facebook and MySpace where the data came through.

And guess what website reported on this? Gawker.

The one that outed Thiel as gay, then leaked Hulk Hogans racist sex tape, then Thiel helped sue and shut them down to presumably get revenge. You can find that Gawker article on Wayback machine- it’s pretty scathing on Hoffman:

“How will Hoffman spin this one? His words promise one thing. His actions, quite another. As in the real world, one's reputation is best judged not by what one says, but by the company one keeps.”

He also got in trouble for violating the terms of Wikipedia by editing his own articles- exposed by the media in 2007.

My suspicion was that his current company SafeGraph is behind the new Instagram Map feature that shows everyone where you are but I can’t find any evidence of that. I did see that Google Store banned the app cuz it’s so shady. From the VICE 2021 article:

“Google has banned SafeGraph, a location data firm whose investors include a former head of Saudi intelligence, Motherboard has learned. The ban means that any apps working with SafeGraph had to remove the offending location gathering code from their apps. SafeGraph markets its data to government entities and a wide range of industries, but it also sells the data on the open market to essentially anyone.”

Motherboard also exposed that SafeGraph was tracking people’s movements to Planned Parenthood:

“A location data firm is selling information related to visits to clinics that provide abortions including Planned Parenthood facilities, showing where groups of people visiting the locations came from, how long they stayed there, and where they then went afterwards, according to sets of the data purchased by Motherboard.”

This was ONE MONTH before that overturning of Roe v Wade in June 2022. That overturn would result in strange laws in Texas where you could effectively snitch on people who were crossing state lines to get abortions for a payday.

This is also straight from the 1984 playbook where children are encouraged to rat out their parents to Big Brother if anyone isn’t loyal to the State.

Now it all makes sense- Thiel and the Dark Enlightenment folks can make DC his first Freedom City. That’s why there was this weird Liberation Day statement made about the Guard taking over DC at the White House:

“This is Liberation Day in D.C. — and we’re going to take our capital BACK.”

They’re trying to manipulate the masses into accepting a Silicon Valley takeover of an American city as a ‘necessary evil’ (*or “Lesser Evil if we want to reference back to Big Balls’ daddy’s popcorn company).

The concept of Freedom Cities is the ultimate final end game for these Silicon Valley billionaires. They want to collapse the democracy of America, tear up the Constitution, and install an authoritarian CEO King. America will become comprised of hyper capitalist “Freedom Cities” (specifically pursued by Thiel as the “Seasteading Institute” or his crypto utopia “Praxis” or the California Forever project or the actual Prospera charter city in Honduras). Greenland was also in the plans for a Freedom City- which is why that was such a hot topic for a takeover in early 2025. We’ll cover this in the next article.

IN CONCLUSION

The narrative being presented to us is the idea that if you see a dirty restaurant floor you shouldn’t eat there because the kitchen is also dirty- and I get that.

I was born and raised on the east coast and moved to Utah in the military and it’s an entirely different world. The east coast is gritty and often times quite dirty. It’s doesn’t feel super safe everywhere, and that became clear when I moved to Utah, which is a pretty good place to live, so I understand some of this argument and I even respect some of the right wing Republican views on giving up some freedoms for the sake of a clean and safer community (*SOME of the ideas; certainly not all, Utah is a nanny state after all).

The philosophy behind cleaning up a city isn’t terrible. It’s kind of like how NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani cleaned up times square- it’s a lot safer and family friendly than it was before he stepped in; but did it lose some of its heart? We cleaned it up for the tourists to feel safe, but do the people who live there prefer it that way?

To me it’s up to the people who live in the city to make that call on exchanging privacy and freedoms for safety, and the good news is that Fox News talked to the residents who live in the city of Washington DC for their thoughts on all this:

“Some Washington residents who spoke to Fox News Digital called it a "terrible idea" that "doesn't make a lot of sense." "I think D.C. politics should stay with D.C., and, unfortunately, the federal government is apparently overstepping their bounds right now, so I hope that D.C. is allowed to govern itself, as well as police itself," one Washington resident told Fox News Digital ahead of Trump's announcement.

Now, the tension between local and federal powers is unfolding in the nation's capital. But just like in California, many Washington residents have concerns about seeing "troops on our streets."

"We have laws for a reason," one resident told Fox News Digital.

"Privatizing security is a terrible idea, and I think anything that Trump does is garbage," another Washington resident added.

"I think it's a good idea," one resident said of Trump's new plan. "It's something that needs to be done for the city to be safe. Right now, we're not safe. The kids and the teenagers are doing everything. So yeah, I think that's a great idea."

And another Washington resident said, "We need all the protection that we can get in the city, because the city is really getting dangerous," telling Fox News Digital that she has to "make sure to come home before sundown" and she is afraid of getting robbed when she gets off public transportation.

And this takes us to my final point- confusion on what is reality when one resident said it out loud:

"Things do seem out of control and desperate, but I don't know what kind of numbers to take, what numbers to read. One minute they'll say crime is out of control. Next minute, they will say crime is down a certain percentage. It's kind of confusing, and I don't know who to believe in and which way to go, to be honest," a Washington resident said, articulating the dichotomy between the low crime statistics and the alarming crime stories. ”

THIS IS THE CRUX OF MY CONCERNS: it’s classic 1984 Doublethink.

This occurs when you don’t know what to believe because you’re told two different things. This is how the Dark Enlightenment folks chip away at the institutions even further. We already have justifiable doubts in the MSM and government and now we’re not sure what to believe.

I believe another purpose of the PsyOp is trying to numb us to this authoritarian style of governance. We already saw the National Guard put in LA for those supposed riots that were AI generated. In fact they’re still protesting ICE but TikTok, MSM and socials are suppressing the footage, with uploads having to call it “LA music festivals” to dodge the Big Brother censorship.

It also serves as a distraction from releasing the Epstein files- youll notice that got real quiet in the last week.

The future concerns I believe would make this even more alarming is to watch for gun laws to happen in DC from this event. I said this months ago (in the 2025 predictions podcast episode I believe) because that would be the classic authoritarian move.

Going back to my red pill daddy David Icke; it’s quite possible we are witnessing a massive false flag operation via Problem-Reaction-Solution to pave the way for the tech oligarch to take our country from us.

Or maybe I’m just a dumb occult symbolism researcher and this is all an over reaction. In today’s world “reality” is malleable so choose your version.

Jordan Peele is well known for placing symbolism into his films like Get Out, Us and NOPE. I did a full analysis on NOPE and I firmly believe Peele is on his way of cementing his place with the greats of film symbolism like Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch.

When I saw Peele had a new film dropping in September called HIM; I had to go full tin-foil and watch the trailer frame by frame and here’s what I found…

*WANT THE VIDEO VERSION? IT’S ON MY YOUTUBE:

OMG like and subscribe of course!

Goat with the Bobs

The script for this film was called GOAT (in reference to the sportsballing term of “Greatest of All Time”). The trailer seems to indicate that it’s a focus of the film, with fans dressing with horns:

…and a field walk out prop that appears to have horns:

…amongst other horned imagery:

My instincts go to the most iconic goat in the world of the Occult and that’s the one with the bobs:

The Baphomet was incorporated by the Church of Satan as the “Word of the Gnostics” which give it the satanic reputation; but it goes back further to magician Eliphas Levi who first drew up this entity as the Goat of Mendes. Supposedly it goes back even FURTHER to the Knights Templar who were allegedly doing heretical acts such as spitting on the Cross and doing various male-booty games while worshipping the Baphomet which is sometimes believed to be the head of John the Baptist or a reference to the ‘seat of intellect.’

Joseph von Hammer Purgstall confirmed that the Knights Templar worshipped Baphomet after they learned the gnostic mystery religion from the Middle East Assassins which gives it the connection into spirituality that we’ll see more of in this film.

Christianity

The plot seems to be around a football team called the San Antonio Saviors which is the first tip off about the Christian elements. The other obvious Christian reference is the repeated use of the most important symbol in all of Christianity; the Cross:

We also see the tattoo that says FAITH:

…as well as a recreation of the Last Supper:

666

On the other side of that spiritual coin is the Satan. We see his most important symbol; 666 (stick with me on this one).

The first 6 is when a tape measure clearly shows us the number 6:

The second one occurs when Marlon Wayans turns up the speed to 60:

The third one (if you’re willing to stick with me); is when we see this thermostat that says 203 which could be interpreted by weirdos like us as 2x3=6 (*it’s on the far right edge):

Duality

The duality of good and evil, Christianity and Satanism, or light and dark is a key tenet to occult belief systems. Another area we see this in the trailer is how we have the rookie being groomed by the veteran. We even see the jerseys that have the number 10 facing each other as a reflection of one another:

The number 10 is symbolism for completion (*thank you David Lynch and Twin Peaks for that one).

There’s also multiple sets of twins just twinning about; including one with a woman that appears to be a Scarlet Woman of sorts:

All Seeing Eye

Of course we’d have the most common symbol in all of occultism! The all seeing eye represents the enlightenment or awakening of a character into the ways of the occult. Presumably our main character is going on a journey…

Vow of Silence

The main character’s journey is to be initiated into the darkness of the occult which requires him to adhere to the Vow of Silence or Sign of Harpocrates:

Alchemical Journey

We know there is a ritual initiation of sorts here because we see the protagonist placed inside of a symbol that is known in alchemy as the Philosopher’s Stone!

He is the truth seeker and he’s becoming enlightened in this journey which culminates with him going towards the final altar that we can see is adorned with candles, a phallus shaped object and in the center a giant pentagram with an infinity symbol inside of it:

What’s interesting is that Aleister Crowley also employed a phallic symbol called the Mark of the Beast 666:

Upon closer inspection we can also see that the cheerleaders have no faces!

The reason for this could be that this is our truth seekers journey and when one sees a faceless character it could represent disassociation or a mask (like Eyes Wide Shut).

What are we saying here?...

I’m suggesting that based on the film trailer, this film is going to be loaded with symbolism of our main character being initiated into an occult system of Satanism. Most likely as a Faustian bargain where he is selling his soul in exchange for sportsballing skills.

The duality concept of the Baphomet utilizes the alchemical process of SOLVE and COAGULA; which I discussed on my analysis for ANOTHER Jordan Peele film; GET OUT:

My suspicion is that the process will involve destruction of the ego, fractured mind alter egos or a death and rebirth ritual (which is where the alchemical Philosopher’s Stone will come into play as the elixir of life and immortality).

Weirder yet; these satanic Nazi pedos are doing ritual magick to channel demons into our world!

In the first parts of our Dark Enlightenment series I talked about how Accelerationism philosophy contains a bit of racist ideology. I read this in Nick Land’s Dark Enlightenment essay with ideas of egalitarianism being detrimental to actual progress; which motivates a white supremacist component of Accelerationists who believe they can spark a race war and instill white ethnostates.

Today we look at extreme far right racist groups that connect into all of this which could reveal why we see Pepe the Frog is found in racist circles, Elon Musk doing Nazi salutes; (*sorry- I mean “Roman” salutes…) and promoting Replacement Theory ideas and more- it connects to satanic magickians and neo-Nazi groups…

**This is a series of articles exploring the Dark Enlightenment- if you haven’t read through them you can start with Dark Enlightenment Pt 1:

What is the Order of Nine Angles?

In 2021 I explored this group called the Order of Nine Angles (ONA) on my podcast exploring two books on the subject (the sources from where I cite the rest of this article).

• Dec 2021 book review of “Infernal Geometry and the Left-Hand Path: The Magical System of the Nine Angles" by Toby Chappell” BONUS: Order of Nine Angles Magick Cult- Communications with Symbols, Sigils and Satan! https://www.patreon.com/posts/59586592

• Dec 2021 interview about “Global Death Cult: The Order of Nine Angles, Atomwaffen and the Slaughter of the Innocents” Satanic Nazis & the Global Death Cult Order of Nine Angles with William Ramsey! https://illuminatiwatcher.com/satanic-nazis-the-global-death-cult-order-of-nine-angles-with-william-ramsey/

• Another source for this article will be “Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity” by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke

It all starts with David Myatt aka “Anton Long” who made contact with three covens in Shropshire in 1968, and later moved to London where he joined “secret groups … practicing the magic of the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley.” He completed his Ritual of the Internal Adept by traveling to Scotland and completing the outdoors part near Loch Ness.

He would allegedly start affiliating with various far right Neo-Nazis and found inspiration in Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement because they embodied the ideals that magick should have: a Satanic spirit of conquering others through charisma. Myatt would become a Holocaust denier and had visions that National Socialism should become an entire galactic empire by creating a new warrior society that would overthrow all existing societies and governments from within the democratic system:

“Remembering my Occult studies of years ago, I conceived a plan to use or if necessary create secret Occult-type groups with several aims. These groups would be allied to and aid a real covert organization dedicated to the overthrow of the System. One of the aims of these Occult-style groups was to infiltrate people into various positions in society where they could aid our Cause; another was to subvert people in influential positions by drawing them into these secret groups and then gradually converting them to the Cause. Another was to try and establish international links and spread the idea of a world-wide revolution and world-wide National-Socialist renaissance. The final aim was to attract people to these groups and gain information from them, using one obvious means which various other intelligence groups had used over the centuries to gain useful information. Since I once again passionately believed that any means were justified in bringing down what I regarded as a tyrannical, oppressive System, I had no doubts about following this strategy and using the tactics necessary. Always I had before me my aim of creating a National Socialist revolution—the first step toward the conquest of the galaxy. In pursuit of these covert aims I infiltrated several already existing Occult-type groups and created a new one.”

At some point in his journeys (apparently in the early 1970s); David Myatt seems to have either founded or taken control of the magickal group known as the Order of Nine Angels at some point (*the book “Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke asserts that he founded it). What drew him into it was most likely it’s celebration of destruction, anti-Christian, elitist & Social Darwinian doctrines.

Myatt would incorporate Nazi practices into ONA including a ritualistic satanic mass invoking Adolf Hitler as a noble savior for “positive blasphemy.” There were elements of astrology, alchemy and ritual magick used to “enlighten” its members into a Nietzschean Ubermensch Superman.

Myatt rejected the Church of Satan and Temple of Set because they weren’t taking their practices far enough- so he instilled rituals to make contact with dark cosmic forces through the realm known as the Tree of Wyrd which is traversed through the various angles (*as in the ‘nine angles’). These angles were considered gates or nexions which could be passed through acts of evil or dark rituals. Such acts of evil include human sacrifice or “culling” in order to get the initiate into contact with the cosmic forces of evil.

The ONA has a lot of odd connections into the occult but I don’t want to get too far down that rabbit hole at the moment because it will distract us from the influences found in the Dark Enlightenment. Instead I’ll discuss the areas of overlap.

Calling all Evil Entities

Similar to the CCRU’s focus on channeling HP Lovecraftian entities; the ONA utilizes rituals such as The Call to Cthulhu, inspired by the HP Lovecraft story. Nick Land was talking to forces on “The Outside” which were believed to be HP Lovecraft Old Ones who were pushing mankind down this path of evolution.

The ONA talks about the 21 Dark Gods- believed to be actual entities from a timeless and chaotic realm. ONA tries to manifest them and bridging human consciousness across the Abyss bridge and let them into our world through the use of portals or star gates (*which can be opened with sex magick).

There are also other groups of satanic criminals who use elements of the ONA or believed to be direct offshoots of the group (e.g. 764, Tempel ov Blood or Maniac Murder Cult to name a few). These groups seem to be more focused on the direct manifestation of evil into our world; allegedly motivating members to record themselves conducting self-harm, animal cruelty, sex acts or even murder.

It’s always about the Golden Age

The similarities between the Dark Enlightenment and these satanic magick murder groups is an Accelerationist philosophy. David Myatt wrote a book that talked about destroying western civilization called “Vindex: The Destiny of the West” and it’s a shortened version of “The Logic of History” that talks about the epochs of civilizations (cuz they always believe we run in cycles and they can start the next one).

This idea of cycles and Golden Ages takes us into our next chapter of the Dark Enlightenment journey which we’ll discuss on the next article where we’ll begin with a reference found in the book “Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity”:

“In 1996 Myatt started a militant Nazi sect called the Reichsfolk. Based at York in England, this national organization aimed to create a new Aryan elite, “The Legion of Adolf Hitler,” and so prepare the way for a golden age in place of “the disgusting, decadent present with its dishonourable values and dishonourable weak individuals.”

Back in 2022 I was covering the conspiracy theories surrounding some cryptic Balenciaga ads that showed children posing with BDSM teddy bears. The rabbit hole got wider as we went through it and how the fashion industry has questionable behaviors.

Balenciaga’s parent company is Kering which owns Gucci, Saint Lauren and other high fashion brands endorsed by your favorite celebrities. The CEO of Kering is billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault (that’s Selma Hayek’s husband).

Digging through the art auctions of Christie’s (also owned by Kering); I read about an art series by the Chapman brothers of child mannequins. The most controversial one was called “F*ckface” that was auctioned for $140K and it was described more graphically by Evie Magazine:

“It's a male toddler with an erect p*nis in place of his nose and an an*s in place of his mouth. The piece of art shows the boy walking with a large brown t-shirt on and purple sneakers. Another piece of art with the same title F*ck Face shows an adolescent girl standing completely naked with the same genit*lia in place of her nose and mouth. She's wearing nothing but a pair of black sneakers.

…

Yet another disturbing image shows a young child with two heads, and their faces are joined by what appears to be a v*gina. It's titled Two Faced C*nt and it sold for more than $111,000. There are many other pieces of art by the Chapman brothers that show severed body parts, blood, and gore.”

This was one of the darker elements of the Balenciaga fallout- and of no surprise to me; the brand survived and celebrities like Kim Kardashian who endorsed the brand went unscathed, even after suggesting they would consider parting ways with the company.

Accelerate or Die!

One half of the artist brotherhood- Jake Chapman, released a 2023 film called “Accelerate or Die! (You Get the Dystopia You Deserve)”.

The full documentary is viewable on YouTube and it shows how our economic systems and the way in which we live is completely unsustainable.

“Capitalism is going to end the world and we all know it”

He proceeds to talk about how humans are already cyborgs of sorts and how we build things without realizing the repercussions are- like AI being the last machine we’ll ever build. He posits questions that encourage apathy towards living with statements like:

“What is there to lose to leave the human behind?...”

The documentary starts out explaining how Accelerationism is- “unsettling” because we are not in control of ourselves- something else is puppeteering us.

*When I do a full podcast episode on the writings of the CCRU from 1997-2003 I’ll explain how they came to this realization- it connects into the occult world of William S Burroughs and Gnosticism.

Chapman’s documentary suggests it’s a response to modernity & capitalism and goes back to processes we’re not in control of. The Apocalyptic end of the world for humans is coming before we can escape capitalism so we need a new model of time based on the future vs the past.

The Industrial Revolution really sparked capitalism because humanity has always pursued technology going back to fire and the wheel in order to simplify the world (much like we see in 2001: A Space Odyssey).

Tech was supposed to make our lives easier with divided labor; instead it made a handful of people rich. The wealth gained started this positive feedback loop that just kept going. Industrial Revolution Machines turned into computers and made the world feel smaller as technology accelerates.

ARPANet was the foundation of the Internet; allowing machines to work together and share data across the world. Humans became a global network with our phones being extensions of ourselves that are inside this network (suggesting that we are cyborgs now).

Accelerationists believe that the technological capitalist utopia is the pinnacle of human existence because it results in instant access to any fact, fiction or product, cars that drive themselves, algorithms that predict our desires and instant gratification.

He explains how the capitalism and nature are at odds and the end game is approaching so something has to give: the system of capitalism, or the world.

Something he said really stuck with me: we find it easier to fantasize about the end of the world then the end of capitalism.

So what can we do with this?... There are different ideas of how to handle it.

“Left Accelerationism” is the idea that we can find the things pushing us towards a POST Capitalism system and embrace those. We can repurpose technology to accommodate this new world which will be used to increase freedom. We’ll use automation to free up our times as human beings (e.g. Universal Basic Income, the 4 day work week, etc). This echoes the ideas of Marshall McLuhan who suggested we could free up our time with technology so humans can create and connect.

Since we talked about the left hand path; let’s cover the other side…

“Far Right Accelerationism” wants to take the worst parts of capitalism and technology and accelerate them. They believe they can accelerate the world to restore something that was lost and reestablish control (*some accelerationism philosophers say that’s a misreading of what it will do). The Far Right Accelerationist attitudes are demonstrated through events like the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting because his manifesto had talk about accelerating a race war.

The Accelerationists view human biology as the same process as Technology- we’re all just computers and this is all a normal process of the planet. This goes back through the dolphin-ketamine experiments of John C Lilly and his book “Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer: Theory and Experiments.”

Capitalism is viewed as an AI trying to reformat the whole planet; and humans are just a part of its evolution. Karl Marx said we will become appendages of the machine of Capitalism and Accelerationists are connecting the dots of how we’ve created machines for Industrial Revolution and now we’re bootstrapping AI with humans as the machines.

Racing to the Singularity

Accelerate or Die! puts together quite the range of possible outcomes that we are accelerating towards as we enter The Singularity.

We’re currently marching towards The Singularity- when AI outstrips human intelligence and the AI no longer needs human input (aka Artificial General Intelligence or Super Intelligence).

This Super Intelligence will be the last thing humans create- it will create its own world.

It’s also possible that Super AI could not even be interested in us; and the danger for that scenario is that we could be like insects it may accidentally kill. Or perhaps it will be mad at us for creating it as a sort of slave. Or maybe we’re projecting our own human malevolence and violence onto this Super AI and it will have no intentions of ill will whatsoever.

How much of this AI idea is from our own imaginations?... Is it just science-fiction?... AI is simply a product of science-fiction anyhow; with human created movies such as Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell and The Matrix.

A philosopher suggested that the natural world is simply about burning up matter- the sun just burns and everything goes with it; and we’re doing the same with capitalism.

Accelerationism makes it harder to make sense of the world around us. It will end with the human species no longer existing because it is no longer viable due to our embracing of destructive capitalism forces.

Accelerationism is the acceptance that we’re on this path to a place that we can’t predict. There’s nothing to lose by leaving the humans behind; so why not go for it.

Last Minute Peter Thiel Update

Right before publishing this article; almost on cue- Peter Thiel sat down for an interview with New York Times’ Russ Douthat and said some things that support all of the theories I’m presenting in the Dark Enlightenment series.

The interview was title “Peter Thiel and the Antichrist” and Douthat asks Thiel if he wants the human race to endure. Peter Thiel hesitates so long that Russ Douthat calls him out for how long he has to think about the question! Thiel proceeds to reveal his transhumanism fantasies which is what these billionaires desire: the end of the human race.

From this we get into yet another philosophy of the Dark Enlightenment: Accelerationism…

Move Fast and Break Things

Accelerationism is a body of revolutionary ideas in far left and right ideologies calling for drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological and social change to destabilize existing systems. The belief is that this will create radical social transformation and the conditions for a technological singularity- the point where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible; because they want to usher in the next iteration of life- the Transhuman, a mix of AI digital consciousness and the human spirit. Ray Kurzweil would describe it as the point where humans merge with machines.

Nick Land is credited as the “Godfather of Accelerationism” which takes us back to the 1990s when he was a British philosopher who taught at Warwick University. He also participated in a group called the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU). The CCRU was wild and we’ll get to that soon…

In 2017 Nick Land wrote an essay on Accelerationism called “A Quick and Dirty Introduction to Accelerationism” which suggested that acceleration is inevitable- a deterministic fate that supports all of the Golden Age and deteriorationist ideas we discussed way back on Part 1 of our journey. He argues that capitalism has a positive feedback loop that is unstoppable and will always adapt and evolve towards the inevitable collapse. He suggests that fighting against this accelerationism is futile and counterproductive so we may as well just lean into and embrace hypercapitalism and whatever outcome is coming. It’s a bit like surrendering to the chaos instead of having guardrails to minimize damage- regardless of any morals or ethics.

The early leftist-accelerationists believed technology could be harnessed to make our existence as the human species better (influences like Marshall McLuhan suggested it should be used to free up human time such that we could spend our time creating art versus repetitive capitalist tasks); but Nick Land’s view seems to say ‘let’s remove all attempts to manage technology and see where it ends up.’

Nick also wrote a book in 2022 called “The Dark Enlightenment” in which he advocates for a form of capitalist monarchism controlled by a CEO (*it’s that authoritarian Neocameralism talk that Curtis Yarvin said was instrumental in destroying the Cathedral of outdated institutions). The theory also disapproved of Democratic and Egalitarian policies because they only slow down the coveted acceleration into the technological singularity.

He blames the Left for slowing this down- calling them the brakes of “progress” (he calls it the “Great Work of the Left”- a curious freemasonic alchemy term).

Cybernetic Culture Research Unit

A collective called the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) was formed by Sadie Plant in 1995 at Warwick University in England. The goal of the group was to explore cybernetics, philosophy, technology and society. It started out focusing on cyberfeminist research and exploring ideas of using technology to break down traditional structures and empower women; until she allowed Nick Land to take charge in pursuing ideas of accelerating the end of mankind with attempts to accelerate and transcend via experiments into the occult and science fiction.

The CCRU was exploring demonology, numerology and esoteric ideas such as Hyperstition. Nick believed there exists a positive feedback loop with culture that reinforces its own self-fulfilling prophecies and spreads like a meme. It’s similar to charging up a sigil or Eliphas Levi’s magnetic chain. Symbols are transmitted to everyone in society via the Internet and causes changes in reality (e.g. Pepe the Frog). Nick saw capitalism as a force that is very sensitive to this idea because confidence creates the reality and sells the product.

Nick was influenced by a philosopher named Giles Deleuze and an idea called Virtuality- exploring ideas of space and time which is found in a variety of 1990s cyberspace film depictions such as Lawnmower Man, Disclosure and even The Matrix.

In an interview with Nick Land from 2009 (found on orphandriftarchive.com), he said that the thing that is hidden from us- the Occult; is an alien order of time which shows up as synchronicities. He also describes hyperstitionality as something that condenses our reality but comes from HP Lovecraft Old Ones; much like we see in John Carpenter’s Mouth of Madness film.

Other inspirations for CCRU explorations include HP Lovecraft, William Gibson, Friedrich Nietzsche, William S Burroughs and Carl Jung. They would draft up strange sigil-looking images called Numograms to try and convey this complex alien-time concept of Lemurian time-sorcery; a mystical understanding of time referring to a lost continent of Lemuria (similar to Atlantis). The intention is to demonstrate a transcendence beyond conventional time and space and the material constructs of our world (including the human body). Time is viewed as something a magician can manipulate through occult practices mixed with technology.

Nick also explored “The Outside”- a concept of a nonhuman, chaotic, destructive force inherent to capitalism and technology. This force will melt down all human values and reason as it takes us down its path.

In a three-hour interview on Scott Mannion’s Metalore in Sept 2023; Nick Land described the CCRU’s engagement with magick and entities from The Outside. He also confirms that the Kabbalistic numerological expression of CCRU was equivalent to the number 666!

Manly P Hall believed the number 666 represented man in its fallen state of the material world and the lower aspects of the self which can only be transcended through spiritual enlightenment. The number 666 represents man’s struggle to ascend spiritually. I point this out because I find it interesting that Nick Land believes in man’s transcendence through the guidance of entities from The Outside and pursuing an accelerationism philosophy to push us into the technological singularity which promises to bring an end to the material realm for mankind.

The spiritual transcendence starts with an initiate understanding the world through a gnostic lens- a material prison of hell created by a false god. From this we can argue that Silicon Valley’s belief in a simulation theory isn’t far from the ideas of CCRU.

*I’m currently reading through the hundreds of pages of CCRU writings from 1997-2003 and it’s extremely concerning and the connections into the occult are much deeper than I originally anticipated. I plan on doing a full podcast episode on the subject so be sure to stay subscribed to my podcast Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt.

Nick Land’s work inspired artists Jake and Dinos Chapman (who were members of CCRU). They’ve continued that CCRU perspective by continuously exploring Accelerationism and collaborations with Nick Land. They also collaborated with Balenciaga which takes us into much darker territory…

In Part 1 of our Substack series on The Dark Enlightenment, we explored the foundations for why we should even consider looking at this conspiracy theory about the Dark Enlightenment philosophy. Today in Part 2 we’ll talk about what the Dark Enlightenment actually is.

Terms to Understand

To understand the Dark Enlightenment we need to consider a variety of terms, philosophies and characters who’ve manifested them into existence.

The Dark Enlightenment is a movement that can be viewed conspiratorially as a coup of American democracy to destroy egalitarianism and liberalism, and replace it with an authoritarian/monarch corporation called “Neocameralism” (this is the New World Order or Golden Age). The new American corporation will be run by a CEO-King and a group of techno-elites who manage “network states.” This is the implementation of the Platonic Empire Philosopher King we’ve read about in The Secret Destiny of America by Manly P Hall which believed in a utopia run by scientists and technocrats.

Ironically we saw Alex Jones rallying against the 15-minute cities when President Biden was in office; but now we’re hearing witnessing the 1984 styled rebranding of the concept into “Freedom Cities” run by Silicon Valley.

Neoreactionary (NRx) thought fuels the Dark Enlightenment. NRx is the belief that democracy is inherently prone to corruption and deeply flawed. The reason it shouldn’t be trusted is because democracy seeks popular opinions of the masses over actual competence (viewed as mouth breathers by the elites; which, to be fair, is sometimes true).

This lack of competence in democracy will lead to the decline of society (something like we see in Idiocracy, a film I did a full analysis on in 2023 on my podcast).

To prevent the decline we need an authoritarian CEO-King to run the country like a business for the techno elites who are “much more” intelligent and stable.

Who wants this?...

All those Silicon Valley billionaires you saw in line at the Inauguration, several crypto bros, some alt right white nationalists, some occult magician satanists and the billionaire elites.

The inspiration seems to come from Eugenics type ideas and Darwinian Theory (which the Church of Satan adhered to). There is a strong racial component in all of this- 2/3 of the Nick Land Dark Enlightenment book talks about race; it’s not entirely a white nationalist movement but it overlaps heavily.

Philosophers that influenced this pursuit include Curtis Yarvin (blogger alias Mencius Moldbug) and Nick Land. Silicon Valley elites, alt-rights and Libertarians like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk have endorsed it; and politicians like JD Vance have been inspired by it.

When Peter Thiel told us his real views, we should take him seriously:

“I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

Mencius Moldbug

A philosopher named Curtis Yarvin is credited for popularizing the Dark Enlightenment philosophy by coaching Peter Thiel on it. Thiel said that Yarvin was his “most important connection” when he was coaching Thiel at his home privately.

Many others within the current administration have openly discussed Yarvin’s ideas:

• Michael Anton from Trump’s State Department told Curtis Yarvin how we will install an “American Caesar”

• Marc Andreessen has Curtis Yarvin over for dinner

• Curtis Yarvin was a guest of honor at the Trump Coronation Ball Inauguration Gala in Jan 2025

• JD Vance cited Yarvin as an influence

So what’s the gripping philosophy that has all these powerful people wanting to completely decimate Western society’s values?...

It was revealed when Yarvin had blogged about it from 2007-2013 on Unqualified Reservations, calling the current institutions of mainstream media, colleges and government as the “Cathedral” which should crumble away. He advocated for replacing the free press with a state run media (*which would’ve ironically made his blogs obsolete), replacing democracy with an authoritarian CEO-King and Silicon Valley tech-elites managing various “network states” that run off high technology.

Yarvin derived a lot of these ideas from the writings of Nick Land (who we’ll cover in this series) as well as fascist philosophers who talked about similar ideas called “Formalism.” He wrote about these ideas on his blog which was picked up and shared by Silicon Valley Libertarians like Peter Thiel.

Yarvin’s blogger alias is “Mencius Moldbug”- which is a combination of Confucian philosopher “Mencius” and a play on “Goldbug” (which is a term in finances to refer to persons who are bullish on gold- could that be what this whole nonsense is about? Curtis is ultra-invested in gold so he wants to crash the USD?...).

I’ve noticed similar sentiment that inspires a lot of Libertarian crypto bros: rooting for the downfall of America, which seems treasonous to me as a military veteran and patriot.

What’s also odd is that “Goldbugs” are obsessed with finding the gold missing from Fort Knox and for those paying attention in February 2025; we saw in the news that was a big to-do for the administration to audit the gold reserves…

Getting back to Yarvin; his blog posts would inspire Silicon Valley tech-elites like Peter Thiel who wrote about some of these concepts in his 2014 book “Zero to One” as well as a 2009 essay for the Cato Institute called The Education of a Libertarian which talked about gutting the government, erasing diversity from record, removing regulations, removing social programs and instilling a crypto currency reserve- all things that are literally happening as I type this, following a Dark Enlightenment & Project 2025 playbook.

It gets darker…

Regardless of how you feel about these points (I’d acknowledge that there’s valid points for both sides of the argument); we see the blueprints of the Dark Enlightenment being rolled out.

But it’s actually much darker than just streamlining the government; there’s an occult plan to appease AI and demonic forces which we’ll talk about in our next section, as well as even more nefarious attitudes like Yarvin’s defense of slavery and racist ideologies which will take us down some really scary paths of satanic murder cults.

We’ll also get into a philosopher named Nick Land who was talking about occult concepts of Hyperstition, Kabbalah and channeling demonic HP Lovecraft type entities into our world!

Saturnian Time: Humanity Moves Forward

To understand my background on this subject we have to go back to my first book written in 2012- A Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory: The Illuminati, Ancient Aliens and Pop Culture. In the book I explored my first serious attempt of synthesizing various conspiracy theories and ideas presented by my red pill daddies like David Icke and Bill Cooper.

*Get my first book for FREE- just sign up for my email list on my website: https://illuminatiwatcher.com/3-books-5/

Part of my understanding was explored through the ideas of a Golden Age, which is a possible motivation for the Dark Enlightenment philosophy that we’ll start to unpack in today’s first part of the series.

The Golden Age goes back to Hesiod’s Deteriorationism (which echoes ideas from the Prometheus story and Plato’s Republic with the “Five Regimes”). Deteriorationism is a belief in deterministic cycles of mankind (eg Kali Yuga, Traditionalism, Brahma Cosmic Breathing, Social Cycle Theories, Fourth Turning, Mayan Calendar, Great Reset etc.).

It’s a common held belief by certain occult elites that civilizations rise and fall in cycles and they believe they accelerate and exploit the final age of mankind.

This should be alarming when you consider the pervasive use of the term “Golden Age” in recent days- something I’ve been discussing since the January 20^th Substack article called Entering the Golden Age: Occult Plans for Mankind.

1984 Blueprint of Inversion

The trigger words and symbols are manifesting into our reality to suggest that something is definitely spilling over into our world. Some could call this Revelation of the Method which I’d suggest is an inversion of our belief systems in order to usher in the philosophy of the new age which requires the belief that the age of man is over and it’s time to hand it over to the elites who will work with Artificial Intelligence to create a perfected society.

Gnosticism is at the heart of all occult thinking- it’s an inverted view of our world and our God because it sees God as a false god who traps us in the material prison of illusion and forcing us to worship Him for redemption.

What’s up is down and what’s good is evil.

An example of inversion tactics is to use the 1984-style redefinition of language; referred to as “Newspeak” in the book- the state manipulates it citizens and dumbs them down by reducing the size of their dictionary in order to keep them ignorant and thus not rise up against the control system.

In the book there’s a discussion about how valuable it is for the citizenry to restrict the range of thought because it ultimately keeps the dystopian masses pacified and unable to even dream of a better situation. The takeaway is that the control system is reducing people’s options and making them rely on the state and media to accept their miserable reality or even cheer it on. They force the population to accept lies and revisions of history (conducted through the rewriting of newspapers and history over at the Ministry of “Truth”- another inversion).

A similar concept called “Doublethink” is when the people believe two ideas that are incompatible or even contradict each other, which is where we’re taking this entire Dark Enlightenment series- attempting to wake people up to the power structures that are telling us we’re headed to a better place when it’s quite possibly worse for the masses.

The Future Plan

Will this continue the downward trend?... Nobody knows for certain. I’m definitely not one to provide expertise on the economy but I do pay attention and there’s much debate about what the future holds for America.

Ray Dalio has been speaking about the changing world order; laying out a scenario that suggest the USA is turning over the global empire “reserve currency” to the Chinese, driven by societal changes like the loss of respect for rules, laws and education. These changes will contribute to the increasing costs of maintaining an empire and its military forces until the declines accelerate and the empire can no longer borrow enough to pay its debts. The empire will always choose to print more of its currency until its devalued and massive inflation eats away to the point of declining living conditions and conflicts among the population. Chaos increases until the inevitable collapse and transfer of power through global reserve currencies.

Is this where America is headed?...

Ray Dalio suggests it’s certainly a possibility but with appropriate civility and a level head we can push it down the road or at least make it a gradual and smooth transition.

What’s Next?...

This opening article is a primer for the Dark Enlightenment series. We’ll keep these ideas in the back of our minds as we examine the philosophy being embraced by all the major players in the American landscape of power which is representation from Silicon Valley, Occult Philosophers and possibly the AI-demonically possessed: Elon Musk, JD Vance, Peter Theil, Marc Andreessen, Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land and Steve Bannon.

“Officially” he died of an “accidental fentanyl overdose“ at Paisley Park but given his history of symbolism showing occult interests and conspiracy theories about a control system in the music industry; I suspect there could be more hidden beneath the surface.

We’ll talk about various symbols and conspiracies related to Prince over the years and wrap up with the occult symbolism demonstrated by the Cryptocracy Illuminati with his potential murder by the elevator (aka Devil)…

Prince and the All Seeing Eye

Prince was obviously a complex man and artist. Throughout his career he kept us guessing as to whether or not he was an "Illuminati" occultist or if he was hip to the conspiracy and attempted to reveal it to the masses.

His artwork and symbolism suggests he was interested in Eastern occultism concepts such as the pineal gland-third eye; yet his religion remained to be that of a Jehovah's Witness.

In fact, shortly before his death the Twitter page that represents Prince changed the main image to his third eye being opened:

At the 2013 Billboard Awards he sported a ring with a giant "All Seeing Eye" on it:

Prince wasn't a total stranger to the "All Seeing Eye" symbolism elsewhere either; take a look at some of his album covers:

The question remains- was Prince enlightened into the occult and demonstrated the symbolism that shows that he had opened his third eye?...

The Artist Formerly Known as Baphomet

In 1993 he changed his name to a symbol, as a form of rebellion from the record label that "owned" him.

Without going deep into a side rabbit hole; people who’ve read any of my books or listened to any of my podcasts know the power of symbols of making contact with the subconscious in an effort to ‘magickally’ transform our world.

He launched a website in 1996 and hid an easter-egg message for his fans:

“My message stems from a lifetime of development as an artist and as a businessman,” Prince wrote. “And my increasing awareness of a greedy structure within the music industry that unjustly rewards large, slow corporate management teams, while overlooking and not protecting its bread and butter —  the artists.

…Prince is the name that my mother gave me at birth. Warner Bros. took the name, trademarked it, and used it as the main marketing tool to promote all of the music that I wrote. The company owns the name Prince and all related music marketed under Prince. I became merely a pawn used to produce more money for Warner Bros...” -Message from The Artist

He infamously scrawled the word "SLAVE" on his face as a form of protest against an industry that surely has a dark side worth considering...

The symbol he chose was a combination of the male and female symbols- suggesting he was into this recurring Illuminati theme of reconciliation of opposing forces as we see on the floors of Freemason Lodges with the black and white checkered floor.

One interpretation for the focus on opposing forces is a Luciferian concept of ‘understanding’ good and evil. It goes back to the serpent in the Garden of Eden who advised Adam and Eve they could ‘be like gods’ once they unlocked this knowledge of good and evil. Occult religions such as Gnosticism would subscribe to the idea that what’s really being taught here is that the world we live and the Abrahamic God who governs it are all actually evil forces of fraudulent false gods called the Demiurge and Yaldaboath.

Another interpretation of the history of mankind is that humans were originally androgynous beings and someday will return to this "perfected" state.

Was Prince interested in pursuing the gender- perfected state? Was this a symbol of the alchemical wedding and embracing opposites?

Destroying the Ego and Alters

When it comes to the idea of using alter egos; Prince takes the cake. Before Nicki Minaj and Jhene Aiko touted multiple personalities and names, Prince was rotating through various personas- suggesting he was either channeling spiritual energies, dissociating like an MKULTRA victim or experimenting musically.

Some examples Prince used: Camille, Jamie Starr, Tora Tora, Alexander Nevermind, Joey Coco, Gemini and Christopher.

Oprah Winfrey interviewed Prince and it was strange to say the least. Prince says that there is another personality inside of him he created when he was five years old (*recall that the young celebrities are used to channel the entities). He uses interesting language when he says “THEY” facilitated him when he created the other personality.

Oprah digs in on the idea and Prince leaves us some sketchy clues and changes course in mid-response when he talks about how he "took someone through therapy".

Oprah says: 'They,' like psychologists, therapists?...

Prince says: Well, actually I found out. Because I took some, I took someone through therapy.

He also says he didn't know why it was created but he "hopes to find out."

Could it be that he found out and they took him out for doing so?...

We all know that Prince wasn't scared to expose the big agenda when he talked about chemtrails and predicting 9/11, so this theory isn't all that far-fetched.

This concept was also featured in my hip hop conspiracy book SACRIFICE: MAGIC BEHIND THE MIC:

We’ve explored the power of rituals and also the magical laws of names and words. This shows us the importance in selecting a good name. This could explain why rappers change their names from their “governments” into aliases and alter egos. Many will claim the stage names are a tradition handed down through the hip hop culture since its inception, but one has to wonder where this concept originated. Practically every rapper or R&B artist has at least one alias stage name; many have more than one (with Prince the reigning champ with over seven aliases):

Shawn Carter = Jay-Z = Hova = Jigga = Iceberg Slim

Marshall Mathers = Eminem = Slim Shady

Cordozar Calvin Broadus = Snoop Doggy Dogg = Snoop Dogg = Snoopzilla = Snoop Lion

Dwayne Carter Jr. = Lil Wayne = Young Weezy = Young Tuneche = Weezy F. Baby

Curtis Jackson = 50 Cent

Sean Combs = Puff Daddy = P. Diddy = Diddy

William Roberts = Rick Ross

Cameron Thomaz = Wiz Khalifa

Tauheed Epps = Tity Boi = 2 Chainz

Onika Maraj = Nicki Minaj = Roman Zolanski = The Harujuku Barbie

Rakim Mayers = A$AP Rocky

Ben Haggerty = Macklemore

Jhene Aiko = J. Hennessy

Tracy Marrow = Ice T

Janet Jackson = Damita Jo

Prince Rogers Nelson = Prince = Jamie Starr = Alexander Nevermind = Joey Coco = Paisley Park = The Purple One = The artist formerly known as Prince

Beyoncé Knowles = Beyoncé = Sasha Fierce = Yonce = Beezus

Will Smith = The Fresh Prince

O’Shea Jackson = Ice Cube

Robert Diggs = The Rza = Bobby Digital

Taalib Johnson = Musiq Soulchild = Purple

Justin Bieber = Shawty Mane

Mariah Carey = Mimi = Bianca

An interview with Prince suggests that we're in the ballpark of occultism when we consider that he thought he was destroying the ego concept by taking on new names (from PrinceText.tripod.com):

"I was just getting tired of seeing my name," he explains. "If you give away an idea, you still own that idea. In fact, giving it away strengthens it. Why do people feel they have to take credit for everything they do? Ego -- that’s the only reason."

Earlier in that same interview he talks about the music creation process and making a choice in which you must confront the ego:

"Sometimes your brain kind of splits in two -- your ego tells you one thing, and the rest of you says something else. You have to go with what you know is right."

We explored this idea in a recent Lady Gaga Coachella analysis on my Substack because she was using similar symbolism.

With all this talk about confronting the ego, split personalities, and tapping into the creative spiritual channel; we can confirm it all plays into the themes we've talked about so often before…

Prince on Chemtrails, NWO, and Secret US History

Prince went on mainstream television and proceeded to warn us about chemtrails, the New World Order, and much more.

In what could be the oddest peculiarity of Prince's insight into the ways of the occult; he managed to predict the 9/11 attacks in 1998 at a concert in the Netherlands. You can clearly hear him say that Osama bin Laden was going to "drop the bomb" in 2001 (*I’m certain the video can be found somewhere online- my link has since been taken down).

He appeared on a late night show of Tavis Smiley's and started dropping knowledge on chemtrails, New World Order at the UN, and a global manipulation. He said that we are all indentured servants and currently slaves on a plantation.

He said that he could recall literal aggression when seeing chemtrails as a child, and a speech that Dick Gregory gave that everyone needs to listen to. He also makes an enlightening point that there were several presidents before George Washington, which I don't recall ever hearing before either?...

“But think back to your history books — The United States declared its independence in 1776, yet Washington did not take office until April 30, 1789.

So who was running the country during these initial years of this young country?

It was the first eight U.S. Presidents.

In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson.

I can hear you now — John who?

John Hanson, the first President of the United States.

Don't go checking the encyclopedia for this guy's name — he is one of those great men that are lost to history. If you're extremely lucky, you may actually find a brief mention of his name. (It's in the Encyclopedia Britannica.)

The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation.”

If we look into that claim we find that Prince was speaking truth- there were Presidents of the Continental Congress before we signed the US Constitution in 1789. Although structurally these presidents were much different than the standard list we know about (they weren’t voted in and didn’t have the same powers).

Prince was correct in citing John Hanson as technically being the first president of the country.

Prince and Aleister Crowley

Prince wrote a popular song called Baby I'm a Star which also ties us into Aleister Crowley if you consider this passage from SACRIFICE: MAGIC BEHIND THE MIC:

The support for the argument of the music industry forcing us into the Aeon of Horus starts with the emphasis on individuality. Our culture is experiencing never before seen levels of narcissism with social media and interconnectivity with one another. Through social media people can highlight themselves in whatever way they like; generally with a favorable outlook on how “exciting” their lives are, or perhaps how good looking they are. Psychologist and author Dr. Jean Twenge points out several studies of data and trends that indicate the millennial generation (people born after 1982) on average have a higher amount of narcissism and selfish behavior. This appears to be directly correlated with the technology and social media the millennials grew up with. Just taking a look around at pop culture and fashion indicates that there is an ever growing trend of people focusing on themselves and less worried about our society as a whole (e.g. crude shirts that put other people down without reason, fascination with death and skulls, lack of empathy for one another, etc.). The University of Michigan study entitled You’re so vain took a look at how people interact with social media and found the younger people used it as a tool for boasting and carving an image of extraordinary individuality. This supports the idea that we’re living in an age of self-actualization and trying to find our place in this world, but at the same time not being able to separate ourselves from desiring to be the celebrities we are so consumed with. Aleister Crowley’s The Book of the Law 1:3 states:

Every man and every woman is a star.

People put on a persona online that fits the image of a celebrity, and in a sense they believe they are a celebrity when they accumulate followers. Many online personalities have actually become celebrities through their YouTube channels or perhaps from starring on a reality show. In this modern time, anyone can become Crowley’s “star.”

Illuminati Blood Sacrifice of Beltane

In terms of Illuminati Occult & Holiday Traditions; Prince passed away during a crucial time period for those that follow the pagan calendar. Many claim that the "Illuminati" conduct blood sacrifices in the thirteen days leading up to May 1st- a holiday known as Beltane.

The bonfires were previously called “bailfires” referencing fires for the god Moloch, aka Ba’al. So, in essence we could call them “Ba’alfires.” The blood sacrifice of humans to this occult god Ba’al being is played out in different forms.

Back before I got in trouble for my blog on IlluminatiWatcher.com; I had revealed the plan for a Temple of Baal, Drake, and Beltane in which we saw plans to rebuild the Temple of Baal in New York City and London. In that article I discussed the male and female symbolism related to blood sacrifices around this time:

The May 1st pole dance features a male phallic pole with the couples dancing around in a circle (representing the female sexuality), and is yet another symbol of fertility for Mother Gaia. Theorists claim that the British Royal House of Windsor lights a Beltaine fire every year to honor the festival. In fact, Queen Elizabeth's birthday was the same day Prince passed away (April 21st)...

Prince’s Ominous Death

Paranoia and tin foil hats aside; I find it quite odd that this man who seemed quite healthy and health conscience would die at the age of 57. Furthermore, my suspicions were increased when L.A. Reid went on CBS to tell us that not only was Prince truly healthy and not addicted to drugs; but he also said something that shocked me.

L.A. Reid said that Prince once told him the elevator (from the song Let's Go Crazy) symbolized the Devil!

For those that are familiar; Prince’s body was allegedly found at his Paisley Park in front of his own elevator. Furthermore- we can see his floor was covered with astrology symbols and his own androgynous symbol.

As salacious as this may sound; this could mean that Prince being found dead at the elevator might be a symbolic sacrifice conducted to show that they killed him for the Devil.

The elevator symbolizes the Devil for other artists also; we saw an entire film called “The Devil” about people stuck in an elevator:

…as well as Travis Scott’s “Highest in the Room”:

…as well as The Weeknd’s cryptic music video “In Your Eyes”:

*Side note- The Weeknd is HEAVILY occulted; especially that particular video which I broke down in its entirety on my podcast as well as his Super Bowl performance:

When we combine the idea that the elevator symbolized the Devil to Prince we can see why his death in front of the elevator is so alarming. Even more shocking is the fact that he was found dead on top of the symbol for the Star of Ishtar! This is a symbol that we see in the lore of Eyes Wide Shut mythology:

Prince being found on top of the eight pointed star is of great concern.

We've seen this star represented as the Star of Ishtar (or Star of Semiramis) to represent the worship of goddess entities or even the Aleister Crowley "8 of Wands" to represent the 8-pointed star of Chaos Magic. What's the purpose here?...

In terms of occultism they believe in an energetic exchange with the unseen. This is how their ritual magick operates and sometimes we see so much symbolism we can't help but wonder what their higher purpose is...

One thing that is for certain (unfortunately), is that with the passing of Prince there is sure to be a horde of vampires waiting to take advantage of his work and monetize it fully. We saw this happen when Michael Jackson died and Sony proceeded to recollect the Beatles music collection (something they long desired to obtain but couldn't do it in fear of the fan's reprisals-- allegedly).

Some are claiming that Prince faked his own death because of his final statement to fans on the prior Saturday (as per Express.co.uk):

"Wait a few days before you waste any prayers."

He also supposedly made a cryptic post to Instagram and then deleted which suggested something was coming to get him- (as per RINF.com) This is sort of like how David Bowie followed "God" on Twitter before passing.

Regardless of how you feel about Prince, the Occult or the Illuminati; there is a tragedy in the story of a genuine artist dying so young after struggling with a controlling industry. I believe Prince was aware of many occult concepts and he was one of the true artists sensitive to a world we can’t all readily experience.

ANCIENT SYMBOLISM

In a recent Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture podcast episode about the symbolism of the 2025 Grammys, I broke down the occult symbolism of Lady Gaga’s ‘ABRACADABRA’ music video that was premiered.

During that analysis I discussed her training with the ‘Marina Abramovic Method’ that was conducted at the Star Home owned by Marina Abramovic in New York near the Hudson River (*we’ll come back to that after we discuss the occult significance of the star symbol).

I casually mentioned on the episode that I recalled Aleister Crowley lived around that area when he was channeling Lam the world’s first depiction of a Grey alien:

Aleister Crowley was roaming around America working British Intelligence operations when he ended up in the Hudson Valley with his friend William Seabrook (the writer who allegedly participated in cannibalism and wrote about the first zombies).

Crowley would setup shop on Esopus Island and was meditating and establishing some magickal footwork in the area. It’s believed he achieved some kind of contact or enlightenment while in this state of isolation, which I postulate may have been his motivation for initiating the “Amalantrah Working” rituals in Central Park West, New York City in January 1918 (the rituals that led to contact with Lam).

*The similarity to the term “Oedipus” as in “Oedipus Complex” was not lost on me or Crowley; apparently he referred to it as “Osopus Island”

Bibliotecapleyades.net has an article written by Daniel V. Boudillion which compares Crowley’s Lam depiction to an alien depiction drawn by Ann Direnger from the 1980’s Hudson Valley that looks very similar:

Getting back to Marina Abramovic’s Star House; the precise location is specifically located in Malden Bridge, NY; about 60 miles north of Esopus Island; yet close to the Hudson River, which puts it into the same general area of the prep work of Crowley’s channeling of LAM.

Symbolically speaking, the star is also referred to as the pentagram- one of the most occult symbols going back to the early mystery cults of Pythagoras. They studied the importance of sacred geometry in the creation of the world as a representation of the divine proportions (Golden Ratio ‘phi’ which is half of ‘pi’). It echoes the perfection and balance of the cosmos in an earthly form; indicating the Hermetic axiom ‘as above so below’ which is why Pythagoras’ society members would use it as a password or sign of recognition to each other.

The magickal connotations of the pentagram would also be employed by the ceremonial magick orders like the Golden Dawn as a tool for mediating with elemental or spiritual forces (e.g. rituals like the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, etc).

In Aleister Crowley’s “Magick in Theory and Practice” he said he believed that symbols are gateways and the pentagram was the most powerful “key to the temple” as a symbol of the microcosm.

On a personal note; I find all of this incredibly fascinating when it comes to the center of the pentagram which is a pentagon; a symbol used for America’s military nerve center. Furthermore the officer in charge of the construction of the Pentagon was Colonel Leslie Groves Jr; who was also the Director of the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. This entire event ties heavily into the lore of synchromystic James Shelby Downard’s King Kill 33 essay and the magickal symbology used in mass rituals of the public by the Freemason Cryptocracy. I’ll do a full breakdown of King Kill 33 on my podcast soon; but I’ve covered the connection of the Manhattan Project to contact with entities via Kenneth Grant’s “Outside the Circles of Time” and in our Twin Peaks Grey Lodge series.

Marina’s home holds the shape of the pentagram and she believes the home can be used to enhance spiritual energy by aligning to these cosmic forces. It could be used for a form of alchemical spiritual transformation by its inhabitants- which included Lady Gaga…

In 2013 Lady Gaga was at Abramovic’s Star Home to work up The Abramovic Method. It’s a method used to “develop performance skills.” The method includes acts of sensory deprivation and expanding ones consciousness. Here’s what Marina Abramovic said about it:

“She is a hardcore student. I had to blindfold her and she was in the forest for three hours, eaten by mosquitos and spiders, scratched by the bushes. It was quite incredible. Whatever I told her she met the exercise absolutely to the end, never complaining. And my exercises are pretty tough. [...] She never said it was too much, she said, 'I want more,' every time." Lady Gaga was totally committed, giving up her cellphone and all outside communication to focus on the training. [...] The idea was that artists, even blindfolded, have to have vision like a blind man. To feel with their entire body ... She was in the fields and then the forest and by her pure intuition she had to find her way back home ... During this exercise, completely of her own initiative, she took off her clothes. She just wanted to be in nature and to feel the elements.”

Lady Gaga would face ego death in what appears to be Freemason-esque initiation rituals which leads us into her performance at Coachella…

COACHELLA OCCULT RITUAL

Over the weekend at Coachella, Lady Gaga performed a variety of her songs for close to two hours and there appeared to be occult symbolism supporting previous work she’s done on ego death through the Abramovic Method as well as the progression through the primary colors of Alchemy (black, white and red).

Let’s recap what we saw…

First she introduced the dueling spirits that reside within Lady Gaga:

She would perform a variety of acts that demonstrated the battle- including the very Freemasonic chess board of opposing polarity ‘Moses Pavement’ white and black tessellating tiles found on all Freemason Lodge floors:

She would confront her shadow self and seemingly defeat it- successfully completing the destruction of the ego:

She would then appear in a grave surrounded by skeletons...

…and confront yet another entity in red- symbolizing a demonic entity:

She would be reborn into the outfit of the “False Maria” from the occulted film “Metropolis” (a topic I explored on my Substack about the Whore of Babylon which had an image of Lady Gaga as the False Maria in Paparazzi video which depicts her murder of alter Lina Morgana):

Towards the end she would play piano on a giant All Seeing Eye- the symbol of achieving enlightenment into the occult studies of our world:

At the end of the performance Gaga is on an operating table of sorts being worked on by some odd characters (*I hesitate to call them demons but that’s the vibe). She says “Monsters never die” before the remove the plastic overwrapping and singing “Bad Romance” (*again- very Twin Peaks). Take note to the concept of rebirth and being in all white- the color of purity and cleansing.

The final imagery is the worship of the Black Sun- symbolic of the transformation via alchemy:

IN CONCLUSION: COMPLETION OF THE GREAT WORK

What was she doing there? Was she completing her Great Work?… (*we won’t go into the allegations of Spirit C00king with Marina)…

For Crowley he believed achieving the Great Work is to contact your Holy Guardian Angel (something he would accomplish with Aiwass and LAM).

She also performed there in 2017 and I had a full blog and video discussing the heavy duty occultism of channeling HP Lovecraftian type entities (*the blog and video got censored into oblivion):

If you listened to my episode about the symbolism of the Lady Gaga performance at the 2025 Grammys than you already know the answer! The short answer is yes; Lady Gaga was moving towards completing her Great Work.

I believe her new track “ABRACADABRA” signifies her completion.

As I discussed on my podcast; Crowley was the first to write this word down in Book of the Law- he said it’s the magical formula of the Aeon and signifies the completion of the Great Work!

Where to go from here

Don’t stop your journey of inquiry yet- there’s so much more to understand!

She’s had some rumors about her health since her press tour for Wicked and this short film doesn’t ease up on them at all.

First let’s get through the video and then I’ll break down the symbolism.

Brighter Days Ahead

The video starts out showing someone’s personal effects being incinerated- a disturbing image intended to prepare the viewer for other dark themes.

We are introduced to Brighter Days Ahead Inc; a company that can erase bad memories and also store selected memories for later viewing; presumably like Alzheimers and such. This is a reference to the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind starring Jim Carrey which has MKULTRA-esque plot lines of erasing painful memories.

Ariana Grande appears as an old woman named Peaches and take note to the dress she’s wearing- covered in black and white checkered blocks like the floor of Freemason Lodges:

The tessellating floor pattern is symbolic for the initiate’s understanding of opposing polarities: black vs white, dark vs light, good vs evil.

Ariana gets wheeled into the memory chamber and she has four memories left to watch and the short film walks us through four different scenes against the backdrop of Ariana’s new music.

Memory 1: Ariana as a child with her parents and such. Afterwards she watches the machine destroys the memory permanently. Why?... We have no idea; feels very Nihilistic to allow these machines to destroy the humanity and memories we’ve created.

Memory 2: Ariana is singing on a microphone. The song that’s playing is titled “Eternal Sunshine” and has lyrics about how she “can’t shake her fate” and it’s “about life, death and rewind.” Is this a reference to a Faustian bargain- where she’s locked into her fate after selling her soul for fame?... If so, it explains a philosophy that negates the fear of dying and serving a sentence in Hell by saying “life, death, rewind” which implies regeneration or reincarnation and being given another chance at redemption.

She released a video for this song last year and it features that same black and white checkered floor:

Memory 3: Another song about heartbreak; Ariana retrieves a jeweled necklace from what appears to be her flooded and wrecked childhood home- something we saw with Rihanna’s “ANTI” occulted visual album when she retrieves a crown:

Note that Rihanna’s ANTI was also showing us the checkered floor:

The track is called “Twilight Zone” and she sings about “Is this a black and white scene, if so then I’m in the grey one” which is a reference to the TV show but it’s curious because it also echoes the black and white opposing polarity theory of the aforementioned Freemason symbolism (as well as my clever Twin Peaks “Grey Lodge” series).

Ariana is comparing her previous lover to the paranormal:

“It’s like supernatural, this love is possessing me.”

She goes outside and everything is wrecked and on fire and she walks up to a massive UFO and gets pulled up into its beam while singing about feeling possessed and she “doesn’t mind at all…”

Memory 4: In a tavern bar we see an artifact of Ariana’s dad giving her the jeweled necklace from Memory 3. Upon further inspection it’s a five petaled flower and that is suggestive to the planet Venus in terms of occultism:

When you track out Venus’ orbit of the sun you can see a pattern referred to as the “five petals of Venus” or the “Venus Pentagram.” Venus is also associated as the ‘light bearer’ or ‘morning star’ which ties into the Lucifer- the light bearer fallen angel because historically Venus was called Lucifer.

This is part of the occult visions for mankind, depicted through science-fiction often times. Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey book series goes on to depict the monolith alien intelligences creating a new sun which mankind calls Lucifer. It represents the light or gnosis and knowledge of man becoming god.

Take note to her father’s appearance- he is sporting a heavy beard which reminded me of the Hermit card in Tarot. The Hermit represents ones spiritual journey and searching for the gnosis or knowledge.

Her father is holding a locket with photo of Ariana as a child, and carrying a sack with what seems like a beating heart inside of it. He then goes into alley and retrieves a brain in a jar (which is clearly a reference to the philosophy of the “Brain in a vat” experiment which leads into the simulation world theories and Gnosticism).

He gets back to his home which has a lab. We see a newspaper headline saying “Doctor’s daughter torn apart…” and there’s a photo of “Brighter Days Inc.” on the article.

He retrieves body parts from around the lab and assembles them all on the table- it’s Ariana.

This is a reference to the Mary Shelley story of Dr Frankenstein who creates the monster from inanimate body parts and infuses a spirit from the divine spark. It’s a story of man becoming god through the secret knowledge of alchemy.

Dr Grande attempts to bring her to life but fails. But then wait… Her little fingies start moving so he gets over to the piano and plays music which helps facilitate the electricity to bring her to consciousness.

SIDE NOTE: There’s a line that I found beautiful that I want to draw attention to:

“I’d rather be swimming with you than drowning in a crowded room.”

No symbolism there- just a nice, romantic little thought.

The final memory ends and it plays an actual clip (I assume) of Ariana as a child saying to live every day like it’s your last and it’s a wrap.

IN CONCLUSION: Illuminate Confirm

What do we make of all this?...

The director of the short film is Christian Breslauer. He directed a ton of music videos over the years. Let’s unpack a couple of them…

Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow’s “Industry Baby” which featured Lil Nas X receiving a “Book of Montero” which has the chakras activated; part of a larger push of occultism he had going on around 2021 which I covered in-depth on multiple shows.

Want more on that?: Lil Nas X Montero: Shoes Satanic Symbolism and the Gnostic Occult Secrets! https://www.illuminatiwatcher.com/lil-nas-x-montero-shoes-satanic-symbolism-and-the-gnostic-occult-secrets

The Weeknd’s “Die for You” has a storyline of The Weeknd as a child being subjected to MKULTRA type experiments in the spirit of Stranger Things.

The Weeknd also embraces spiritual imagery of a Cross and ends the video levitating towards a higher power after unlocking his ‘siddhi’ superpowers. Also- there’s a remix of this song featuring none other than Ariana Grande.

Doja Cat’s “Demons” was full of… well… demonic imagery as one would expect.

It also had references to The Shining:

The Shining points us to a recurring theme found in Christian’s videos: MKULTRA mind control.

*That Doja Cat video is wild- I did a whole episode on that worth checking out:

What is MKULTRA?

MKULTRA is a massive topic I featured in my hip hop conspiracy book SACRIFICE: MAGIC BEHIND THE MIC- The Illuminati & Hip Hop (*this book was featured in COMPLEX magazine and on SIRIUS/XM; check out options for audiobook, signed paperbacks and more here: https://www.illuminatiwatcher.com/sacrifice-magic-behind-mic-illuminati-hip-hop).

The short takeaway is that it was a CIA program ran by the “Poisoner in Chief” Sidney Gottlieb for many years to experiment on its test subjects (aka victims) to various drugs and experiments to determine if we could do mind control, create truth serums or erase ones memories and identity.

We basically brought over Nazi doctors and employed CIA operatives to drug people with hallucinogens to see how we could control human beings to do our will. They had beliefs we could use drugs as psycho-warfare instead of dropping bombs and somehow it became acceptable and humane to use these experiments on people. Dr Jolly West was working on ways to force mind dissociation and pulling forth various alters which could be programmed to kill through Subproject 43.

We may never know the full scope of MKULTRA because most of the documentation was destroyed when the CIA realized they were under scrutiny. There were multiple subprojects involving black magick and one rumored to be Project MONARCH which may have been using ritual abuse and trauma to make mind controlled sex slaves for the elites. The symbolism of the Monarch Butterfly is used in conjunction with this reference which we see in pop culture many times- including The Shining:

Cathy O’Brien’s “Trance Formation of America” lays out this theory and it’s also referred to as “Diamond Programming” which performs the dissociative states in the victim so they can be sex trafficked to the elites. What’s curious is that the director, Christian, also directed a Swarovski video called “The Party of Dreams” starring Ariana Grande which had her doing the all seeing eye thing with the gem (indicative of the Diamond Programming allegedly):

The whole video is about manipulating the mind to erase memories similar to MKULTRA and even embracing occult concepts of the paranormal like channeling UFOs (much like the CIA Project STARGATE and remote viewing). All of these topics were once confined to the world of crazy conspiracy theories and pop culture but they are now bleeding over into the real world.

Ariana Grande is no stranger to the idea of erasing memories either- she’s talked about experiencing memory loss over the years and she asserts she is “super serious” about it.

Back in 2018 I deep dived into Ariana Grande and her father’s connections to the military industrial complex which gets into Nickelodeon (which has since proven to be more nefarious since the Quiet on Set documentary).

One more thing that stood out was at the end of the credits when it gives Special Thanks to Steven Spielberg! He’s been the most prolific director with alien imagery from E.T. to Close Encounters of the Third Kind and he’s now working on a new alien epic with the working title “Non-View” to be released in 2026.

I believe Spielberg’s new film and all of the aliens and occult references in pop culture are connected. I don’t know that they’re purposefully trying to make us focus on these non human entities or if this is just natural interests flooding our internet; but either way there is something to the Hyperstition of symbolism being used to create reality.

If you’re left with questions I’ve got a ton of resources for you to help navigate this new world order and how aliens fit into everything.

This event is the high profile ritual known as the Super Bowl and this article will break down how the ritual is conducted, and why we've seen the types of symbolism and events from previous Super Bowl Halftime shows as the entertainers conduct their ceremonial magick right before our eyes...

Before we get started..

I've written a slightly longer version of this article that goes further in-depth with more explanations behind the Super Bowl Halftime Ritual and it is now available as a downloadable PDF mini ebook on the IlluminatiWatcher Gumroad store.

If you're not interested in this PDF, please keep reading and if there are still questions, you can check it out.

If you want to check out my podcast analysis for any of these Super Bowl performances; here is a growing list: https://illuminatiwatcher.com/super-bowl-an-analysis-of-the-occult-and-illuminati-symbolism-ritual/

The Ritual: Getting it Right

Any good occult magician will be able to tell you that symbols and details of the ceremony are of the utmost importance. The date on which the ritual takes place should fall in line with the perfect timing. The same theory goes with the spelling of words and incantations which occult magicians believe to hold powers. This is why Aleister Crowley added a "k" to "magic" and also replaced the "c" with an "h" in Abracadabra. The details behind the spelling and timing of all events is crucial to the "Illuminati."

The basic tenet behind all of these practices is that there is a tie between the microcosm and macrocosm- which the practitioner would seek to manipulate and cause changes to occur in the universe according to their true will (the Hermetic and Witchcraft axiom "As Above So Below"). This axiom is represented when one hand points down while the other points to the cosmos:

This is a concept detailed in my music conspiracy book SACRIFICE: MAGIC BEHIND THE MIC:

The term Abracadabra has Aramaic roots and literally means “as I speak; I create.” It’s a magical belief system that projects an illusion and makes the viewer believe it, which makes it a reality.

Let us consider the basic ideas behind the timing of the Super Bowl that most people overlook. The Super Bowl (and most all NFL football games) occur on Sunday. I believe this is done on purpose in order to divert energy from religious ceremonies (e.g. Christianity) and onto the violent sport known as American football. Sunday was originally set aside as the Lord's Day in which people were to reflect on the gifts given to us and focus on worship and rest. To see an attempted hijack of this idea is akin to the Satanic technique of inversion, or Aleister Crowley's "Law of Reversals."

In my Occult & Illuminati Holiday Traditions section of A Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory: The Illuminati, Ancient Aliens and Pop Culture I explain how the established "holy-days" were originally established in order to devote energy to the pagan deities the ancient cultures sought to make contact with. Since then, it appears that many of our holidays have indeed been continuing the practice of pagan devotion…

For instance, The Romans participated in a festival called Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, or “Birthday of the Unconquered Sun” on December 25th. Sol Invictus was the Roman god of the sun, which was why Sunday was originally declared a day of rest in honor of the sun god. The early Christian Church celebrated Jesus' birth on December 25th in order to more easily transition the people from the Roman pagan celebration known as Saturnalia (in honor of the god Saturn).

The Super Bowl must fall on a Sunday (hence the name "Super Bowl Sunday") because that is the day of worship to the Roman sun god. Perhaps that is why the Super Bowl is referenced with its Roman numerals? To me it seems that there is something behind the placement of Super Bowl on a Sunday, which would indicate a purpose beyond what appears on the surface...

The Halftime Show: Entertainment with a Purpose

Besides the game of football itself; most viewers tune in for the commercials and the illustrious Super Bowl Halftime Show. Artists are used by the Illuminati due to their natural ability to get their minds into another realm. This altered state is similar to the ones utilized by ceremonial magicians to contact extraterrestrial entities.

In Peter Levenda's The Dark Lord he draws inferences from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos that demonstrates this exact point:

The earthquake awakens Cthulhu, and the artists- the most avant-garde, the most sensitive to occultism, depth psychology, and automatic writing- assemble in a "certain state of fury" to decide how artistic transgression and political transgression can work together to cause the destruction of civilization as they knew it.

The dreams of the Surrealists bled over into the dreams of the Communists, and these dreams were seeded by the high priest of the Old Ones who needs social unrest and dislocation to give his followers the space to perform the orgia necessary to open the channels, the Gates, to the Underworld.

Indeed- the artists don't actually get paid for their performance and that is because of the publicity they receive from the show. In fact, the Halftime Show now receives more viewership than the game itself; which only further proves the point that the Illuminati's focus is in the entertainment and the musical numbers in order to cause the destruction of civilization as they know it...

This event used to consist of drill teams and marching bands until the 1990s when we saw mega entertainers like Michael Jackson, Gloria Estefan, New Kids on the Block, and more perform live on stage. In the 2000s this precedent of having the world's most popular musicians continued as we saw Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Sting, and others of similar caliber.

However, in 2004; things took a notably more sinister turn. We saw a "not-so-covert" ritual when Justin Timberlake removed Janet Jackson's top during their performance of JT's Rock Your Body. He says he'll "have you naked by the end of this song" and at that point he unleashed the nipple heard 'round the world:

Most people referred to the "Nipplegate" as a coordinated attempt by MTV to initiate the destruction of all morality by showing a nipple on television (*side note: I believe that football and the male-social-programming causes way more damage to children than witnessing a female's nipple).

Theorist Freeman Fly spoke about this Nipplegate incident and made the observation that we were not supposed to see a nipple, but rather we would be focused on the nipple ring. The ring was an 8-pointed star which symbolized the Star of Ishtar, aka the Star of Semiramis:

This 8-pointed star is seen throughout Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (a film that quite possibly got him murdered for revealing too much- as I assert in KUBRICK'S CODE):

This isn't the only instance we've seen programming of the 8 pointed star either:
