    That's a great link. I wonder if there's a similar one about Madonna and her Cabbalistic beliefs. Paranoia magazine had an animated picture of her on the cover with featured article on her. I should find it downstairs and post about it. It's really interesting.

      Yes - it's some great stuff... I have to go back & read it all. There's some kind of protection on the webpage so you can't copy it out. I think there are alot of artists into this stuff.

      I'm interested in it, too - I just don't know how much of it is related to secret societies as opposed to people studying mysticism on their own. I think some people find this sort of thing just natural. I wonder how much is co-opted by secret societies or did they actually originate it?

      I think some people naturally want to expand their concept of reality. Some of these studies can be useful tools. It's just the manipulation of society & the world by using these tools that makes me wonder. When the forces in the world with agendas start combining this stuff with science, media, trans-humanism, mind control it gets kind of creepy.

        Spar....Alot of rockers are into the occult.Ive heard that most major recording studios have a "temple room".....Thats a room that is used by witches to cast spells over the master tapes in order to put demonic powers on them.Dont believe it? Google the name John Todd....hes a former high-ranking warlock.Hes got quite a bit to say about the relationship between rock and the occult.

            Very interesting Xmed. I don't doubt it at all!

            Most of the arts are controlled by the Illumanati. I don't think you can get anywhere in the arts unless you belong to some form of this.

            I'm not necessarily saying it's bad but it's just a fact of life from what I have observed. Culture is too important to be left to chance...

              I don't think you have to embrace or be a part of anything to be famous. If youre talented you go somewhere. The fact that some famous people are into the occult doesnt mean that it's required to be famous. I think alot of times it can make things more interesting and some people more popular. Like Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden & Bowie( So many others ). But there are plenty of artists that are huge that don't put forth occult philosophy or symbolism.

                  I love ALL Bowie and ALL Led Zep and ALL Beatles, Etc... They are totally a HUGE part of who I am as a person. Why would someone laugh? Bowie embodies almost everything a human being could possibly desire. And if he doesnt have it himself he can surely buy it.

                    There are also alot of very talented people who don't get anywhere... I believe there is a selection process that happens. People who travel in certain circles get the opportunities. I've seen it. It takes more than great talent to become a superstar.

                    Culture is too important to let anyone get to be high level. I don't doubt that these people are great artists but it also takes the connections to get anywhere.

                    This is the crux of why many artists died in the 60's & 70's... They didn't want to go along with the plan. Don't you think it's just a little bit suspicious?

                    I still love the Beatles, Stones, Bowie, Led Zep, etc. I don't care that it was infused with mind control or voodoo or whatever. I just glad I'm aware of it, now. I was very young when I heard all this music. Much of it is what I would consider genius. Now that I'm older & I can trace the histories... it's quite fascinating to me. The same is true of the movie industry & the fine art world. It's mind control & they aren't going to let outsiders in. Not only that, there's huge money to be made. They probably let in a few artists that aren't affiliated but the whole thing is controlled from the top down.

                    I believe that the human spirit can rise above the propaganda. I just think it's important to be able to recognize it - if possible. I would rather be living in this reality than in a Muslim country or some repressive place like China...

                    Come on... Al Gore, The Police, U2, Madonna & global warming... who would have thought?

                      Supposedly the Beatles were a mass sociological psychological mind control experiment of British MI5 intelligence.

                        Yes. I've been hearing that... Some of it is included in the thread I posted a while back about "Evil Beatles".

                        It's hard to believe but the more I research it, the truer it seems. The Beatles' music has influenced so many musicians. I've also read studies analyzing the structure of their music & the lyrics. Pretty crazy stuff!

                        I grew up listening to it & it's hard to separate my own emotional attachments to the music from the mind control theories. People say this about The Wizard of Oz & other movies, too.
