Mind Control Theories and Techniques used by Mass Media
By VC | April 28th, 2010 | Category: Vigilant Reports | 671 commentsMass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes and defines what is normal and acceptable. This article looks at the workings of mass media through the theories of its major thinkers, its power structure and the techniques it uses, in order to understand its true role in society.

Most of the articles on this site discuss occult symbolism found in objects of popular culture. From these articles arise many legitimate questions relating to the purpose of those symbols and the motivations of those who place them there, but it is impossible for me to provide satisfactory answers to these questions without mentioning many other concepts and facts. I’ve therefore decided to write this article to supply the theoretical and methodological background of the analyzes presented on this site as well as introducing the main scholars of the field of mass communications. Some people read my articles and think I’m saying “Lady Gaga wants to control our minds”. That is not the case. She is simply a small part of the huge system that is the mass media.
Programming Through Mass Media
Mass media are media forms designed to reach the largest audience possible. They include television, movies, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, records, video games and the internet. Many studies have been conducted in the past century to measure the effects of mass media on the population in order to discover the best techniques to influence it. From those studies emerged the science of Communications, which is used in marketing, public relations and politics. Mass communication is a necessary tool to insure the functionality of a large democracy; it is also a necessary tool for a dictatorship. It all depends on its usage.
In the 1958 preface for A Brave New World, Aldous Huxley paints a rather grim portrait of society. He believes it is controlled by an “impersonal force”, a ruling elite, which manipulates the population using various methods.
“Impersonal forces over which we have almost no control seem to be pushing us all in the direction of the Brave New Worldian nightmare; and this impersonal pushing is being consciously accelerated by representatives of commercial and political organizations who have developed a number of new techniques for manipulating, in the interest of some minority, the thoughts and feelings of the masses.”
- Aldous Huxley, Preface to A Brave New World
His bleak outlook is not a simple hypothesis or a paranoid delusion. It is a documented fact, present in the world’s most important studies on mass media. Here are some of them:
Elite Thinkers
Walter Lippmann
Walter Lippmann, an American intellectual, writer and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner brought forth one of the first works concerning the usage of mass media in America. In Public Opinion (1922), Lippmann compared the masses to a “great beast” and a “bewildered herd” that needed to be guided by a governing class. He described the ruling elite as “a specialized class whose interests reach beyond the locality.” This class is composed of experts, specialists and bureaucrats. According to Lippmann, the experts, who often are referred to as “elites,” are to be a machinery of knowledge that circumvents the primary defect of democracy, the impossible ideal of the “omnicompetent citizen.” The trampling and roaring “bewildered herd” has its function: to be “the interested spectators of action,” i.e. not participants. Participation is the duty of “the responsible man”, which is not the regular citizen.
Mass media and propaganda are therefore tools that must be used by the elite to rule the public without physical coercion. One important concept presented by Lippmann is the “manufacture of consent”, which is, in short, the manipulation of public opinion to accept the elite’s agenda. It is Lippmann’s opinion that the general public is not qualified to reason and to decide on important issues. It is therefore important for the elite to decide ”for its own good” and then sell those decisions to the masses.
“That the manufacture of consent is capable of great refinements no one, I think, denies. The process by which public opinions arise is certainly no less intricate than it has appeared in these pages, and the opportunities for manipulation open to anyone who understands the process are plain enough. . . . as a result of psychological research, coupled with the modern means of communication, the practice of democracy has turned a corner. A revolution is taking place, infinitely more significant than any shifting of economic power. . . . Under the impact of propaganda, not necessarily in the sinister meaning of the word alone, the old constants of our thinking have become variables. It is no longer possible, for example, to believe in the original dogma of democracy; that the knowledge needed for the management of human affairs comes up spontaneously from the human heart. Where we act on that theory we expose ourselves to self-deception, and to forms of persuasion that we cannot verify. It has been demonstrated that we cannot rely upon intuition, conscience, or the accidents of casual opinion if we are to deal with the world beyond our reach.”
–Walter Lippmann, Public Opinion
It might be interesting to note that Lippmann is one of the founding fathers of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the most influential foreign policy think tank in the world. This fact should give you a small hint of the mind state of the elite concerning the usage of media.
“Political and economic power in the United States is concentrated in the hands of a “ruling elite” that controls most of U.S.-based multinational corporations, major communication media, the most influential foundations, major private universities and most public utilities. Founded in 1921, the Council of Foreign Relations is the key link between the large corporations and the federal government. It has been called a “school for statesmen” and “comes close to being an organ of what C. Wright Mills has called the Power Elite – a group of men, similar in interest and outlook shaping events from invulnerable positions behind the scenes. The creation of the United Nations was a Council project, as well as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.”
- Steve Jacobson, Mind Control in the United States
Some current members of the CFR include David Rockefeller, Dick Cheney, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, mega-church pastor Rick Warren and the CEOs of major corporations such as CBS, Nike, Coca-Cola and Visa.
Carl Jung
Carl Jung is the founder of analytical psychology (also known an Jungian psychology), which emphasizes understanding the psyche by exploring dreams, art, mythology, religion, symbols and philosophy. The Swiss therapist is at the origin of many psychological concepts used today such as the Archetype, the Complex, the Persona, the Introvert/Extrovert and Synchronicity. He was highly influenced by the occult background of his family. Carl Gustav, his grandfather, was an avid Freemason (he was Grand Master) and Jung himself discovered that some of his ancestors were Rosicrucians. This might explain his great interest in Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology and symbolism. One of his most important (and misunderstood) concept was the Collective Unconscious.
“My thesis, then, is as follows: In addition to our immediate consciousness, which is of a thoroughly personal nature and which we believe to be the only empirical psyche (even if we tack on the personal unconscious as an appendix), there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. This collective unconscious does not develop individually but is inherited. It consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes, which can only become conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic contents.”
- Carl Jung, The Concept of the Collective Unconscious
The collective unconscious transpires through the existence of similar symbols and mythological figures in different civilizations. Archetypal symbols seem to be embedded in our collective subconscious, and, when exposed to them, we demonstrate natural attraction and fascination. Occult symbols can therefore exert a great impact on people, even if many individuals were never personally introduced to the symbol’s esoteric meaning. Mass media thinkers, such as Edward D. Bernays, found in this concept a great way to manipulate the public’s personal and collective unconscious.

Edward Bernays
Edward Bernays is considered to be the “father of public relations” and used concepts discovered by his uncle Sigmund Freud to manipulate the public using the subconscious. He shared Walter Lippmann’s view of the general population by considering it irrational and subject to the “herd instinct”. In his opinion, the masses need to be manipulated by an invisible government to insure the survival of democracy.
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.
Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet.”
- Edward Bernays, Propaganda
Bernay’s trailblazing marketing campaigns profoundly changed the functioning of American society. He basically created “consumerism” by creating a culture wherein Americans bought for pleasure instead of buying for survival. For this reason, he was considered by Life Magazine to be in the Top 100 most influential Americans of the 20th century.
Harold Lasswell
In 1939-1940, the University of Chicago was the host of a series of secret seminars on communications. These think tanks were funded by the Rockefeller foundation and involved the most prominent researchers in the fields of communications and sociological studies. One of these scholars was Harold Lasswell, a leading American political scientist and communications theorist, specializing in the analysis of propaganda. He was also of the opinion that a democracy, a government ruled by the people, could not sustain itself without a specialized elite shaping and molding public opinion through propaganda.
In his Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences, Lasswell explained that when elites lack the requisite force to compel obedience, social managers must turn to “a whole new technique of control, largely through propaganda.” He added the conventional justification: we must recognize the “ignorance and stupidity [of] … the masses and not succumb to democratic dogmatisms about men being the best judges of their own interests.”
Lasswell extensively studied the field of content analysis in order to understand the effectiveness of different types of propaganda. In his essay Contents of Communication, Lasswell explained that, in order to understand the meaning of a message (i.e. a movie, a speech, a book, etc.), one should take into account the frequency with which certain symbols appear in the message, the direction in which the symbols try to persuade the audience’s opinion, and the intensity of the symbols used.
Lasswell was famous for his media analysis model based on:
Who (says) What (to) Whom (in) What Channel (with) What Effect
By this model, Lasswell indicates that in order to properly analyze a media product, one must look at who produced the product (the people who ordered its creation), who was it aimed at (the target audience) and what were the desired effects of this product (to inform, to convince, to sell, etc.) on the audience.
Using a Rihanna video as an example, the analysis would be as follows: WHO PRODUCED: Vivendi Universal; WHAT: pop artist Rihanna; TO WHOM: consumers between the ages of 9 and 25; WHAT CHANNEL: music video; and WHAT EFFECT: selling the artist, her song, her image and her message.
The analyzes of videos and movies on The Vigilant Citizen place a great importance on the “who is behind” the messages communicated to the public. The term “Illuminati” is often used to describe this small elite group covertly ruling the masses. Although the term sounds quite caricatured and conspiratorial, it aptly describes the elite’s affinities with secret societies and occult knowledge. However, I personally detest using the term “conspiracy theory” to describe what is happening in the mass media. If all the facts concerning the elitist nature of the industry are readily available to the public, can it still be considered a “conspiracy theory”?
There used to be a variety of viewpoints, ideas and opinions in popular culture. The consolidation of media corporations has, however, produced a standardization of the cultural industry. Ever wondered why all recent music sounds the same and all recent movies look the same? The following is part of the answer:
Media Ownership
As depicted in the graph above, the number of corporations owning the majority of U.S. media outlets went from 50 to 5 in less than 20 years. Here are the top corporations evolving around the world and the assets they own.
“A list of the properties controlled by AOL Time Warner takes ten typed pages listing 292 separate companies and subsidiaries. Of these, twenty-two are joint ventures with other major corporations involved in varying degrees with media operations. These partners include 3Com, eBay, Hewlett-Packard, Citigroup, Ticketmaster, American Express, Homestore, Sony, Viva, Bertelsmann, Polygram, and Amazon.com. Some of the more familiar fully owned properties of Time Warner include Book-of-the-Month Club; Little, Brown publishers; HBO, with its seven channels; CNN; seven specialized and foreign-language channels; Road Runner; Warner Brothers Studios; Weight Watchers; Popular Science; and fifty-two different record labels.”

AOL Time Warner owns:
- 64 magazines, including Time, Life, People, MAD Magazine and DC Comics
- Warner Bros, New Line and Fine Line Features in cinema
- More than 40 music labels including Warner Bros, Atlantic and Elektra
- Many television networks such as WB Networks, HBO, Cinemax, TNT, Cartoon Network and CNN
- Madonna, Sean Paul, The White Stripes
Viacom owns:
- CBS, MTV, MTV2, UPN, VH1, Showtime, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, TNN, CMT and BET
- Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon Movies, MTV Films
- Blockbuster Videos
- 1800 screens in theaters through Famous Players
“Disney ownership of a hockey team called The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim does not begin to describe the vastness of the kingdom. Hollywood is still its symbolic heart, with eight movie production studios and distributors: Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax, Buena Vista Home Video, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Buena Vista International, Hollywood Pictures, and Caravan Pictures.
The Walt Disney Company controls eight book house imprints under Walt Disney Company Book Publishing and ABC Publishing Group; seventeen magazines; the ABC Television Network, with ten owned and operated stations of its own including in the five top markets; thirty radio stations, including all the major markets; eleven cable channels, including Disney, ESPN (jointly), A&E, and the History Channel; thirteen international broadcast channels stretching from Australia to Brazil; seven production and sports units around the world; and seventeen Internet sites, including the ABC group, ESPN.sportszone, NFL.com, NBAZ.com, and NASCAR.com. Its five music groups include the Buena Vista, Lyric Street, and Walt Disney labels, and live theater productions growing out of the movies The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and King David.”

A limited number of actors in the cultural industry means a limited amount of viewpoints and ideas making their way to the general public. It also means that a single message can easily saturate all forms of media to generate consent (i.e. “there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq”).
The Standardization of Human Thought
The merger of media companies in the last decades generated a small oligarchy of media conglomerates. The TV shows we follow, the music we listen to, the movies we watch and the newspapers we read are all produced by FIVE corporations. The owners of those conglomerates have close ties with the world’s elite and, in many ways, they ARE the elite. By owning all of the possible outlets having the potential to reach the masses, these conglomerates have the power to create in the minds of the people a single and cohesive world view, engendering a “standardization of human thought”.
Even movements or styles that are considered marginal are, in fact, extensions of mainstream thinking. Mass medias produce their own rebels who definitely look the part but are still part of the establishment and do not question any of it. Artists, creations and ideas that do not fit the mainstream way of thinking are mercilessly rejected and forgotten by the conglomerates, which in turn makes them virtually disappear from society itself. However, ideas that are deemed to be valid and desirable to be accepted by society are skillfully marketed to the masses in order to make them become self-evident norm.
In 1928, Edward Bernays already saw the immense potential of motion pictures to standardize thought:
“The American motion picture is the greatest unconscious carrier of propaganda in the world today. It is a great distributor for ideas and opinions. The motion picture can standardize the ideas and habits of a nation. Because pictures are made to meet market demands, they reflect, emphasize and even exaggerate broad popular tendencies, rather than stimulate new ideas and opinions. The motion picture avails itself only of ideas and facts which are in vogue. As the newspaper seeks to purvey news, it seeks to purvey entertainment.”
– Edward Bernays, Propaganda
These facts were flagged as dangers to human freedom in the 1930′s by thinkers of the school of Frankfurt such as Theodor Adorno and Herbert Marcuse. They identified three main problems with the cultural industry. The industry can:
- reduce human beings to the state of mass by hindering the development of emancipated individuals, who are capable of making rational decisions;
- replace the legitimate drive for autonomy and self-awareness by the safe laziness of conformism and passivity; and
- validate the idea that men actually seek to escape the absurd and cruel world in which they live by losing themselves in a hypnotic state self-satisfaction.
The notion of escapism is even more relevant today with advent of online video games, 3D movies and home theaters. The masses, constantly seeking state-of-the-art entertainment, will resort to high-budget products that can only be produced by the biggest media corporations of the world. These products contain carefully calculated messages and symbols which are nothing more and nothing less than entertaining propaganda. The public have been trained to LOVE its propaganda to the extent that it spends its hard-earned money to be exposed to it. Propaganda (used in both political, cultural and commercial sense) is no longer the coercive or authoritative communication form found in dictatorships: it has become the synonym of entertainment and pleasure.
“In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or it might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies — the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.”
– Aldous Huxley, Preface to A Brave New World
A single piece of media often does not have a lasting effect on the human psyche. Mass media, however, by its omnipresent nature, creates a living environment we evolve in on a daily basis. It defines the norm and excludes the undesirable. The same way carriage horses wear blinders so they can only see what is right in front of them, the masses can only see where they are supposed to go.
“It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale. The orchestration of press, radio and television to create a continuous, lasting and total environment renders the influence of propaganda virtually unnoticed precisely because it creates a constant environment. Mass media provides the essential link between the individual and the demands of the technological society.”
– Jacques Ellul
One of the reasons mass media successfully influences society is due to the extensive amount of research on cognitive sciences and human nature that has been applied to it.
Manipulation Techniques
“Publicity is the deliberate attempt to manage the public’s perception of a subject. The subjects of publicity include people (for example, politicians and performing artists), goods and services, organizations of all kinds, and works of art or entertainment.”
The drive to sell products and ideas to the masses has lead to an unprecedented amount of research on human behavior and on the human psyche. Cognitive sciences, psychology, sociology, semiotics, linguistics and other related fields were and still are extensively researched through well-funded studies.
“No group of sociologists can approximate the ad teams in the gathering and processing of exploitable social data. The ad teams have billions to spend annually on research and testing of reactions, and their products are magnificent accumulations of material about the shared experience and feelings of the entire community.”- Marshal McLuhan, The Extensions of Man
“It is with knowledge of the human being, his tendencies, his desires, his needs, his psychic mechanisms, his automatisms as well as knowledge of social psychology and analytical psychology that propaganda refines its techniques.”
– Propagandes, Jacques Ellul (free translation)
- Strange old 7up ad using the cuteness of babies
Subliminal Perception
“Subliminal perception is a deliberate process created by communications technicians, by which you receive and respond to information and instructions without being consciously aware of the instructions”
– Steve Jacobson, Mind Control in the United States
” A team from University College London, funded by the Wellcome Trust, found that it [subliminal perception] was particularly good at instilling negative thoughts. There has been much speculation about whether people can process emotional information unconsciously, for example pictures, faces and words,” said Professor Nilli Lavie, who led the research. We have shown that people can perceive the emotional value of subliminal messages and have demonstrated conclusively that people are much more attuned to negative words.”
- Source
A famous example of subliminal messaging in political communications is in George Bush’s advertisement against Al Gore in 2000.
Right after the name of Gore is mentioned, the ending of the word “bureaucrats” – “rats” – flashes on the screen for a split second.
The discovery of this trickery caused quite a stir and, even if there are no laws against subliminal messaging in the U.S., the advertisement was taken off the air.
As seen in many articles on The Vigilant Citizen, subliminal and semi-subliminal messages are often used in movies and music videos to communicate messages and ideas to the viewers.
Desensitization
In the past, when changes were imposed on populations, they would take to the streets, protest and even riot. The main reason for this clash was due to the fact that the change was clearly announced by the rulers and understood by the population. It was sudden and its effects could clearly be analyzed and evaluated. Today, when the elite needs a part of its agenda to be accepted by the public, it is done through desensitization. The agenda, which might go against the public best interests, is slowly, gradually and repetitively introduced to the world through movies (by involving it within the plot), music videos (who make it cool and sexy) or the news (who present it as a solution to today’s problems). After several years of exposing the masses to a particular agenda, the elite openly presents the concept the world and, due to mental programming, it is greeted with general indifference and is passively accepted. This technique originates from psychotherapy.
“The techniques of psychotherapy, widely practiced and accepted as a means of curing psychological disorders, are also methods of controlling people. They can be used systematically to influence attitudes and behavior. Systematic desensitization is a method used to dissolve anxiety so the the patient (public) is no longer troubled by a specific fear, a fear of violence for example. [...] People adapt to frightening situations if they are exposed to them enough”.
– Steven Jacobson, Mind Control in the United States
Occult Symbolism in Pop Culture
- Metropolis – a movie by the elite, for the elite?
Contrarily to the information presented above, documentation on occult symbolism is rather hard to find. This should not come as a surprise as the term “occult”, literally means “hidden”. It also means “reserved to those in the know” as it is only communicated to those who are deemed worthy of the knowledge. It is not taught in schools nor is it discussed in the media. It is thus considered marginal or even ridiculous by the general population.
Occult knowledge is NOT, however, considered ridiculous in occult circles. It is considered timeless and sacred. There is a long tradition of hermetic and occult knowledge being taught through secret societies originating from ancient Egyptians, to Eastern Mystics, to the Knights Templar to modern day Freemasons. Even if the nature and the depth of this knowledge was most probably modified and altered throughout the centuries, mystery schools kept their main features, which are highly symbolic, ritualistic and metaphysical. Those characteristics, which were an intricate part of ancient civilizations, have totally been evacuated from modern society to be replaced by pragmatic materialism. For this reason, there lies an important gap of understanding between the pragmatic average person and the ritualistic establishment.
“If this inner doctrine were always concealed from the masses, for whom a simpler code had been devised, is it not highly probable that the exponents of every aspect of modern civilization – philosophic, ethical, religious, and scientific-are ignorant of the true meaning of the very theories and tenets on which their beliefs are founded? Do the arts and sciences that the race has inherited from older nations conceal beneath their fair exterior a mystery so great that only the most illumined intellect can grasp its import? Such is undoubtedly the case.”
- Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages
The “simpler code” devised for the masses used to be organized religions. It is now becoming the Temple of the Mass Media and it preaches on a daily basis extreme materialism, spiritual vacuosity and a self-centered, individualistic existence. This is exactly the opposite of the attributes required to become a truly free individual, as taught by all great philosophical schools of thought. Is a dumbed-down population easier to deceive and to manipulate?
“These blind slaves are told they are “free” and “highly educated” even as they march behind signs that would cause any medieval peasant to run screaming away from them in panic-stricken terror. The symbols that modern man embraces with the naive trust of an infant would be tantamount to billboards reading, ‘This way to your death and enslavement,’ to the understanding of the traditional peasant of antiquity”
- Michael A. Hoffman II, Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare
In Conclusion
This article examined the major thinkers in the field of mass media, the media power structure and the techniques used to manipulate the masses. I believe this information is vital to the understanding of the “why” in the topics discussed on The Vigilant Citizen. The “mass population” versus “ruling class” dichotomy described in many articles is not a “conspiracy theory” (again, I hate that term), but a reality that has been clearly stated in the works of some of the 20th century’s most influential men.
Lippmann, Bernays and Lasswell have all declared that the public are not fit to decide their own fate, which is the inherent goal of democracy. Instead, they called for a cryptocracy, a hidden government, a ruling class in charge of the “bewildered herd.” As their ideas continue to be applied to society, it is increasingly apparent that an ignorant population is not an obstacle that the rulers must deal with: It is something that is DESIRABLE and, indeed, necessary, to insure total leadership. An ignorant population does not know its rights, does not seek a greater understanding of issues and does not question authorities. It simply follows trends. Popular culture caters to and nurtures ignorance by continually serving up brain-numbing entertainment and spotlighting degenerate celebrities to be idolized. Many people ask me: “Is there a way to stop this?” Yes, there is. STOP BUYING THEIR CRAP AND READ A BOOK.
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.”
- Thomas Jefferson

its funny that guy in the picture is wearing a cardinals shirt. there so lame
Love it! Great article to share with ppl!
ONE OF YOUR BEST YET!
@6 “they’re” so lame. you wanna be intelligent… then be intelligent.
anyway, the key is to not watch too much tv, mute or fastforward through commercials, and limit your overall media exposure. and def don’t put money in their pockets. f*ckers.
I have just discovered I have been ‘rebranded’! Apparently I am no longer a conspiracy theorist; I am now a ‘transparency campaigner’!!! Semantics…it’s all about semantics, oh and subliminal symbolic desensitization.
Hitler was an experiment. After taking america and creating the US (arguably their finest monster), hitler was their next frankenstein’s monster. He took it all too literally, too quickly, too roughly; the geek with the charisma to change a nation and virtually wipe out another.
But he tested out a lot of those mass media control principles they have relied on so much; he attempted to wipe out an historically, biblically spiritually connected and ancient people; he used people like rats for his eugenics, making poor tortured Dr. Frankenstein look tame. He ‘researched and developed’ substantially for them. He took the fascist agenda, branded it, gave it a logo, slogan, positioned it, launched it, and marketed it.
Their third monster was the internet. And as their latter monster, born from their greed for communications and technology, grows and shapes and shifts and creates and stings and bites back at it’s master, we the ‘masses’ are waking up in it’s white glow seeing, questioning, learning.
But they knew this was going to happen, they have been preparing us and themselves for it for the latter half of the last century. How are they going to pull it off?
The ‘news’- one great pantomime of puppetry, lies, deceit and manipulation, enter: youtube. The truth, in real time practically, of many ordinary people’s extraordinary lives. And suddenly individualism is awake again and stretching and checking itself out in the mirror. No, not a good thing for the illuminati.
They tried to tell us the internet was just for paedos and pervs; that worked for a while. But the kidz are way ahead of them. And the rest of us are on youtube seeing first hand evidence of police brutality, lies and aggression. The words nanny/police state are virtually mainstream around dinner tables on a Saturday night among the left orientated of us.
The illuminati are showing themselves (is this in response or by design?). Yet we are digging on the world wide web, and we are linking up and communicating about riots and unrest and disbelief and fear across the world. People are taking to the streets and being angry; and more importantly knowing about each others anger.
What would Orwell do with ‘1984’ if he had known that instead of staring mindlessly at our tv screens being fed plastic dreams we would be turning our head to alternate screens, screens where we can talk to our friends and family face to face from miles away, read about anything we want to know about it, discuss and compare…
There is no doubt the rules are changing, the game is changing: the parameters and tools and techniques. But essentially the same conflict applies: they want control to maintain power and sustain wealth and luxury for themselves and their generations to come.
Fast forward their ads, be more wary of products from the big five, enjoy nature more and technology less, and talk to friends and family about what is going on, after all transparency is where it’s at in the twenty first century.

PLEASE ELABORATE!!!!!!!!
To anyone who hasn’t already.. watch a documentary on YouTube called THE ARRIVALS.
Eye-opening life changing stuff.. its in around 50 parts, but you can buy the dvd from eBay for a few quid..
the arrivals does have some very interesting things, BUT…it misses out on the whole point…Jesus is the son of God/ God himself. That series mentions him as a prophet, and that is misleading information, esp to people who are just learning about what this life is truly about. The bible says that no one can go to God if it isnt through Jesus. The bible is the book these satanist fear, so do you still wonder why?

cheers
Fantastic article although my paranoia is spiking.
You’re not paranoid. This term is a negative one. You’re becoming informed, and you’re reacting in the only way a person born in the age of media can. All the comparisons to “The Matrix” are overdone and cliche now, but it is still the truest.
Paranoid is better than ignorant.
My only concern now is that there are children following VC like a media outlet. Enjoying the articles as entertainment, a sort of fix of reality… “Great article! Best one yet!” How many articles about a music video can we see before it hits us that this is real? Until something bad enough happens I suppose.
It’s not easy to say DO SOMETHING. I know I myself walk around everyday with this knowledge in my mind and have to be another person for the people who won’t believe me or are tired of hearing it from me. A double life of ignorance and enlightenment.

You are so right.
‘Until something bad happens’ Yep, and I guess its irreversibel
“I know I myself walk around everyday with this knowledge in my mind and have to be another person for the people who won’t believe me or are tired of hearing it from me. A double life of ignorance and enlightenment.”
I can relate to this.
Your comment was very enlightening to read because like the person you replied to, I was feeling paranoid but I see now that that is a good sign.
Thank you.

Great! Thanks VC!
another great artcle, never noticed da AXE thing
Ever since I stopped watching television, my life has been less stressful and a lot more peaceful. I still watch it occasionaly if I’m sick or something, but most of the time I keep it off. Our minds don’t need constant entertainment! I know some people who constantly have the TV on and it’s really annoying. Completely turn off your tv for a week and see how you feel. Read, meditate, exercise etc. You’ll feel better and you won’t have to worry about all the brainwashing television does.
Good article by the way!

I totally agree! Turning off your television will completely change your life for the better. It’s much easier to live without than people think. I haven’t watched television since March of 2009 and I feel great about my decision to not do so. Eliminating television from your life will allow one the necessary time to become acquainted with themselves and achieve greater self-awareness. The psychological and spiritual benefits from this are endless. If one works all day long and then comes home to sit in front of the television, the only time left for self is while one is unconscious and sleeping. No wonder people never grow up; the true self is stuck in a dream land and never exposed to reality.

Brilliant!
Thanks Vigilant!
Same here. Im less stressed without TV and PC and phone too I might add. TV is most degrading without your control with its commercials and such. U can be watching a show that does not bother u and see a degrading commercial. All that static messes with our brains anyways
As always outstanding research. I am not part of the herd. So that your readers understand, there is a steep price to pay for being truly a rugged individualist. If that is possible and still be a member of society. I pay the price all the time. You have to have an anvil to secure your humanitarian beliefs and a tremendous amount of knowledge across a wide spectrum of disciplines. So keep teaching . It is needed.
So interesting &so sad :/
Thanks Vigilant!
Cool idk those msg

My Dad quoted someone who said the tv was the ‘electronic golden calf’.
Say thanks to your beloved father. Who pinpoints a thousand words into one crystalclear picture.
“The golden calf”.
Have to get it right
“The electronic golden calf”
i’m glad that everyone who left comments thus far seems to be able to appreciate this post. Once people start to realize that the ingredients for mind control are all around., I do believe it will be increasingly difficult for them to ignore the obvious symbolism all around them. God bless you
Wonderful Insight Vigilant!
Thanks so much for opening my eyes!!
VC says: “Today, the population is gradually being exposed to the existence of mind control, of transhumanism and of an Illuminati elite.”
It’s important to realize what the message is as well as how the message is being transmitted.
http://publicvigil.blogspot.com/2010/05/maafa-21-black-genocide-in-21st-century.html
============
One of the cornerstones of the Elite agenda is eugenics. Eugenics is born from darwinism and eventually leads to transhumanism. Transhumanism is visible in the corporate media in the form of robotic and cyborg images in music videos.
This whole agenda is driven by the “promethean” view that science should triumph over religion. This is simply an extension of the Nazi agenda to create a super-race. Philosophically it is derived from Nietzsche’s proclamation that “God is dead”. It is an atheistic and amoral movement, but it disguises itself in forms that will not arouse the general public. An excellent example of this is the way Planned Parenthood is used to disguise the genocidal attack on non-whites around the world.
The goal of the Elite is to create an image in the minds of the general public that a society based on scientific principles is naturally superior to a society based on religious principles. This is the “promethean” world view which I mentioned earlier. The word “promethean” derives from Prometheus who stole fire from the gods and gave it to man. This symbolizes the triumph of science and technology (as represented by fire) over religion (as represented by the gods).
============
Two points:
A) You forget that, without fire, the humans in the Greek myth of Prometheus would have remained dumb animals. It was the fire that caused them to look up and see the gods for the first time; it was the fire that gave them intelligence.
What you are bemoaning is the triumph of intelligence and thought over animal instinct and nonsentience. What you’re expressing is a wish that people, even if we did become sentient, would stay dirty, superstitious, fearful, misogynistic, uneducated, warlike, malnourished, prejudiced, and very, very, VERY pious.
B) You’re all paranoid.
I thought sheep said “bahh, bahh”. Who knew they could type?

With genuine love for all humans, and respect for the animals (we eat);) I need not religion, and i`m not afraid of pure science or tecnology. I admit i even like a bit of luxury.
It is misuse of both religion and science, i personally disagree with.
Thanks for calling all of us “paranoid”. By the way, you did not say what kind of system you promote. Mr Sane.
Thanks for the thorough explanation.
See also this article which discusses in more detail Nietzsche and the Prometheus myth.

(Sorry, I forgot to include these quotes in the above comment.)
Rockefeller Center in New York City is a virtual shrine to Prometheus. His golden statue stands at the head of the central fountain, with lines from Aeschylus inscribed below.
Prometheus is Lucifer. The giver of light. The “god” of the atheists, occultists, Freemasons. He is science unrestrained by religion. According to their mythology, once Prometheus is unbound then he will battle with Zeus (religion) and defeat him. Prometheus unbound represents the triumph of the secular over the religious.
Do you think this recent addition of switching everyone over to HD and blueray has anything to do with media control? I’m speculating that it is somehow a way to watch us/monitor?? There has to be some reasons why everyone is switching over….
Hi MT
Have a search (look) for “United States Patent Application 20060007222″
The two way tv is already invented.
By Michael Uy, for Apple Computer, Inc.
Yes, The police can already look at you through your own TV set. Its not a joke.
And They can also look at you thru your Pc monitor.
This is life. Not the future. Sorry to break the news for you.
Keep your dick under the blanket and dont make to many faces as you cum;) And hide the bong.
That doesn’t mean anything.
Think about it.
If they can see us through our televisions and our computers, who is going to monitor this and actually derive any meaning from it?
Even if they can see us, which I doubt they can, WHOOP DEE FUCKING DOO. No organization is going to be able to keep tabs on millions of people and actually keep track of any of it. People sign on, sign off, turn the television on and off, flip channels, and this is done by the MILLIONS.
If you create a computer program to analyze any data (and what data could you possibly get anyway?), it would still be difficult to put it to any use.
Also, the cost would be tremendous.
You know what, there are so many things wrong with the scenario that your irrational fear has created that I can’t even write all of it in a reasonable time frame. Think logically. The government doesn’t give a rats ass about you on an individual basis, stop worrying. And if you are not running a terrorist organization in your basement, then none of this shit should matter to you. Calm the fuck down.
Through the use of the patriot act the government does keep tabs on everyone who searches a BROAD list of things. WE ARE ALL put into a database and kept there until we “GET OUT OF LINE” in a sense. To say “how can the government track millions of people” is ignorant. NO they may not be able to watch each individual but they can separate us from the others, AND THEY ALREADY HAVE.
while I`m at it, I have to continue a bit
Some dude at project camelot.com says that he was headhunted by NASA/CIA in 1962 to implement satelites that could monitor every inch of our planet 24/7/365, and even audiorecord human voices by the same satelites and listening in on every conversation in the street by filtering out background car traffic. from a complete satelite grid around our planet.
This puts the BIn laden story, and the ongoing Somali Ship hijackings in to a new perspective if you ask me.
The “elite” wants the chaos, from wherein they can operate.
They put their tecnology in to bad use for 20-30 years before it reach the public. Just as they used advanced technnology too bring down (or up) the twintowers in 9-11. Technology we then knew nothing about.
Just as they used remote controlled airplanes in that incident. Before 9-11 they denied that planes could be remotely controlled. But after 9-11 it became public knowledge that drones could be remotely controlled over irak and afghanistan from usa. Eh eureka ?
I wonder why they call the most used search engine on the web Google ? Might it be that it has anything to do with the two way “integrated sensing display” mentioned above. Some more badly hidden symbolism maybe ? Where you see the web, and Apple sees you? Why does any movie from hollywood show an apple laptop used by the “hero” ? To make you buy an Apple laptop ? With an hidden integrated sensing display incorporated in it.
To many questions ? okay I rest my case.
I can not verify the storry told by the dude from Prosject Camelot.com but I do not question it myself.
From what I have found out, I know tecnology is used for decades by the “elite” before it comes in to public domain.
The closest star to earth is so far away it would take aliens at least 600 years to reach our earth with an imense speed. Its not like a sunday trip, even for the aliens.
So unless you buy in to the “wormhole” teori , Wich I for sure IS NOT BUYING IN TO YET. The alien fiction is the next smoke and mirror fairytale we are feed. It looks more like “someone” will stage an fake alien attack to scare the hell out of us in the future. But dont trust me on that one.
I dont know why people think they were “remote controlled planes” or “driven by the government” YES the government knew all about the 911 attacks and were told FOR MONTHS BEFORE. But they didnt do it directly. How hard is it to find 5 terrorists to drive planes into significant US buildings?!? Too easy. They turned their heads (and those of traffic control, the army, airforce, and the national gaurd) long enough for the “terrorists” to take action. It was all started so the Bush family (and others) could gain control of the Middle Eastern oil (the US couldnt go in and say well.. we are going to take your oil free of charge and sell it to OUR citizens at 3 dollars interest) and to throw us for a loop.. To keep us focused on the “terrorists” long enough for them to carry out the final steps of their plan.
Great post. I’ve been thinking about going off tv and movies for a while now. Every time I’ve tried I’ve had withdrawal symptoms, almost like physical tremors, I felt a sense of urgency, fear, desperation, and a great NEED to stay connected to tv/movies/internet. Some of the messages/themes of the movies would make even the most obtuse person raise an eyebrow.
I’ve been seeing recurring themes in movies, especially kid’s movies about kids gaining “special” or supernatural powers from non-human entities. Learning secret mysteries, being “chosen” for special “schools” where they learn to obtain these powers from alien/supernatural entities.
I hear you. I used to start my day w/ fox and friends. The tone got more and more shrill and divisive, at an alarming rate. I would be up in the morning getting ready for work and felt like I was missing something. Not anymore, I have peace in my mornings now. BTW, I put on fox and freinds once in a great while to check in on the loons. The last time I watched, i thought; that gretchen is nuts. She was going off on that press pimp of obama’s and all I cold think of is “what is she receiving thru her earpiece to make her go off like that?” It was unbelievable. She’s the fox news answer to olberman.
Give it a shot. Turn off the news entirely for a month, then watch for a few minutes after a month of blissful silence. You will soon realize you missed nothing except negativity, divisiveness and outright lies and shut it off for good.
Also, if you have decent, honest sources of news on the web, you’ll continue to see that you know about things weeks prior to them being exposed in the msm.
Wake up people. It is about time everyone realized the sadistic occultist orwellian freemasonic elite of the US. There is PLENTY information on the net. If someone thinks that this is ALL there is about the Illuminati and their power and control over the world you are as naive as it gets.
Take the band from your eyes, open them, if you have eyes see, if you have ears listen. The knowledge is not HIDDEN anymore. The Illuminati want your soul, your body and your mind, and believe me, if you live in first world countries they already own them. You follow whatever the media tells you. They easily demonize good people, and glorify filthy bastards… No wonder why Diana got more praise than Mother Theresa. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UUUUUUUUUUUUUP!
Im waiting for you to have a field day with the new Aguilera video. That one should give you plenty of material. I just hope kids dont watch the video.
Thank you!!
wow a lot of awsome info its great how you back it up with so much other books and history that connects the dots
The Christina Aguilera video is a direct attack on the morals and values of the Catholic Church. It is ANTI Christian and not to mention completely following their agenda of trying to destroy the REAL Catholic Church. Who will be next?
You got Gaga wearing a Rosary over her privates and depicting the cross as a Monster, Jay-Z saying they are killing Jesus, Aguilera having an orgy inside of a Catholic Church, all the media attacking the Pope.
What will be next?!?!?!?!
Vigilant, my dear friend -
You have outdone yourself this time! Truly inspired and excellent work – I dare say, your finest work ever!!
I’m very proud of what you’ve done here here, and that the synergy of our minds is producing such excellent results.
Mega-kudos to you, Vig, cuz dis shizz be off da chain, y0!!
Has anyone else noticed that the ruling elite are degenerate sociopathic scumbags? Just wondering. LOL
Thanks for another great article.
In addition to turning off and unplugging the t.v., try monitoring your phone calls via your answering machine. It is amazing how many callers will never leave a message, or announce who they are before hanging up. Some will continue to call and hang up before the recording comes on. It’s more freedom from being tied to a phone and automatically picking it up when it rings! Caller I.D. is a rip-off because it will not show numbers from businesses or from callers who block their numbers. Cell phone users, you are totally controlled by your cells. No more phones ringing unless you turn ringers on – just a flashing light when there is a “message.” Now you’re in control, not the “callers.”
@LVB: They are degenerate sociopathic freemasonic satanists orwellian occultist perv immoral death culture lovers kabbalists fake Christians anti Catholic Church anti truth filthy scumbags…
And still I think I missed like 99% of their attributes.
Great article! Im amazed at so few comments first off. I think that futhers proves the authors point of the article. If this post were about “Brangelina” thier would be 500+comments. so kudos to all the thinkers who commented on this article.
Ive been trying to go without tv and video games also, Its hard!!! I think I may have a slight addiction. TV has a way of sapping life out of its viewers; The reason why is folks vicariously live thier lives though the charaters on tv. If it wasnt for tv, I would have way more friends than I do now because I would be forced to leave my comfy sectional from “Ikea” and my 42 inch plasma from “bestbuy” and my xbox from “bestbuy” and socialize. This weekend I didnt watch tv and let me tell you, I got a lot of crap done, I even had fun going to walmart, Ususally I hate going to walmart but with no entertainment in my house walmart was like a themepark for me! and I even called old friends.
Like my English professor said….Garbage In = Garbage Out. Just watch educational stuff and you should be fine.
and one more thing!!!!!! LOOK at the ice cubes in the coke advertisment, you will see a blowjob!!!!!!!!!!
Suzanna
That’s a nice thought, and I am sure that your intentions are good and pure.
However, you may be yet unaware that the ruling elite also control the vast majority of curricula in nearly all universities, high schools and even grade schools, via organizations like the NEA, etc. The mass educational system is an integral part of mass media, perhaps even moreso than the entertainment side.
Education is good, yes, but much of what proclaims itself to be education these days is nothing more than INDOCTRINATION into the concepts and ideas that the ruling elite are propagating into the minds of the young and unaware.
Food for thought.
Ugh … the dreaded education system, eh? Well, a rare few of us do try to shed the light on our students – at least those whose minds are capable of being blown.
I agree about so-called “educational” programs. Everything is spin these days. For me, I like to ask: does it serve man or God? Sometimes it’s not so black and white, but with mass media it usually is, because they are often selling something toxic on emotional appeal to the basest of needs. Most of it is very dumbed down for a reason.
This is a good article, but merely scratches the surface. It quite accurately demonstrates that these people are fully aware of what they are doing, and how they view “the masses” (you and me). Their agenda has always been the same, for thousands of years. They are not in control, but wallow in pride thinking that they are. Their ideas have a price, and they are hoping that “the masses” do not catch on to what that is.
Lovey article.
I am so grateful for your work and your passion. This website has helped open my eyes to the real depths of this thing, and as a result my life is changing and reshaping. THANK YOU, never stop.
Vigilant,
This is the best article you’ve written. You have a pretty solid and impressive grasp of mass psychology…keep up the good work.
Sectum Sempra
maybe i’ve been reading this website a little too much, but i just saw gabriella cilmi’s “on a mission” on youtube and all i could think of was “monarch”.
check it yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycmQpXWwT0c
@Dee. Yes, we all know that. That’s the reason it was there.
great article… glad i’m not part of the herd….i feel sorry for the people who haven’t got a clue
For those ranting about “anti-Catholic” messages, you do realize Catholicism was and is a powerful force of manipulation filled with warped Christian messages, right? Being pro-Catholic is not entirely a good thing.

.
Evil has infiltrated all organized religions to varying degrees, and we must all be very cautious to keep our faith only in God – one-to-one, up close and personal faith. People will always let you down, but God won’t.
BTW, I love your guitar work, Mr. May.
All religions are division
God desires unity
yet another fantastic article! thanks for this
I really hope you do an article on Christina Aguilera’s new video
@PacoMay pretty much sums it up!
Great article, really ties the whole website together!
Where did you find the fact that Carl G. Jung was a freemason????
I have been looking myself everywhere and never found this as a confirmed fact. Somewhere it stands that he was interested in masonry but never accepted to be part of it. Unfortunately cannot remember the source.
Much has been written about Jung. If indeed he had been a freemason it would in part explain his huge knowledge in symbolism and his studies.
Can you tell me where you got your information?
Thanks
Christina’s Not Myself Tonight video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11-508vWUjY
Okay, I wanted to write something about this video but after having watched it twice, I am at lost for words.
I mean, just watch it and you’ll know what I mean.
Fantastic VC. I will definitely be referring people to this article. It’s scary how much influence the media wields over the population.
i havent read it yet, i m just gonna leave this comment, cos im in the top 100
James Vicary’s research has been shown to be faked and his oiriginal “results” weren’t even replicated and shown to be significant in later studies that were carried out. There is no real scientific evidence for the effects subliminal messages. This is hardly a study that can be used to back it up…plenty of books that have been written dealing with these subjects have outlined the true value of this study.
awesome work vc
also just watched christina aguileras new video – jaw dropped at the degredation! this crap is so readily available to children and most people dont even notice because they are so desensitised by the mass media! just another reason to turn the tv off….
just checked the gabriella climi ‘on a mission’
woahh
oh, and of course thankyou vigilant! only discovered this site a week ago, and i feel so stupid because im 17 and of course all this stuff is aimed at my generation, and after reading lady gaga/jayz/beyonce etc and all the stuff on mind control im totally shocked cause i just accepted it! im posting these sites to all my friends.. hopefully it will make a difference! x

@Brian
Not only do I realize that every religion has been infiltrated by the communists/satanists/freemasons but there is a community within the Catholic Church, mainly made out of the laity who is truly and completely faithful to the word of our Lord Jesus Christ, and his teachings and the REAL morals of the REAL Catholic Church, who are doing something about this. I’m talking about the good old 2000 year old traditional morals and teachings which were corrupted by the Vatican II.
And we are so AWARE that the CHANGE has started, the cleaning has started, and there is no denying that there are plenty agents of evil posing as priests, bishops and cardinals, but those of us who are truly and faithfully doing what the Gospels teach us, following what the real great Doctors of the Church like Saint Augustine taught us, we are the ones who are trying to save the REAL Catholic Church.
So, no, being a Catholic is not something bad. We’ve been attached to some filth thanks to Communism, masons, and plenty infiltrators, but trust me. We WILL clean the Church.
I hope you understand that the Bible is not a legitimate source for ANYTHING. Everything having to do with the Bible was written down in a time before print, passed on mainly orally, or copied by hand in small dark rooms. What I’m trying to say is: if I whispered ‘umbrella’ into your ear now, and you passed it on to 2,000 people, it would come out as ‘bathing suit’ or whatever, not to mention that people would probably add their own words and thoughts and rave about them and 1up each other over the best story.
Not only has the Bible been formed like this- most of the stories weren’t written down until decades (sometimes centuries) after the actual events, causing more room for confusion.
That is bad enough- but then there are all the apocryphical (spelling?) books that have been locked away as not being part of the canon. Why are they not part of the canon? Which of the people selecting the Biblical canon were actually there when any of those things described happened? None of them.
I certainly don’t think God was trying to misinform us, but I do think man had handled the information given to us in such a way that we can’t believe anything the Bible says.
Also: I don’t think God meant for multiple religions to exist. This does not mean I think Christianity is THE way, as seems the majority opinion around here, I think we don’t know anything about what God really wants or thinks, and that we should denounce all existing religions as such and create a personal bond with God, and hope that He will take the time to try and inform us one last time. We could certainly use it in our day and age with everything forcing us towards earthliness.
“Everything having to do with the Bible was written down in a time before print, passed on mainly orally” — Are you really trying to say that the Bible was passed on mainly orally, wow no comment.
“or copied by hand in small dark rooms” — If I was in 100 AD I would definitely pick the darkest, smallest room I could find to rewrite my English essay.
“most of the stories weren’t written down until decades (sometimes centuries) after the actual events, causing more room for confusion.” — The last book of the Bible written was the book of John, 1John, 2John, 3John written in 98. Also why would there be any confusion? The Bible is written by first hand accounts, unless the apostles were hit on the head and woke up confused I don’t see why this adds to confusion.
“Why are they not part of the canon?” — The canon did not come all of a sudden; it came over centuries of reflection so the appropriate books would be added.
“I certainly don’t think God was trying to misinform us but I do think man had handled the information given to us in such a way that we can’t believe anything the Bible says.” — Why would god give us the information when he knew that man would just corrupt it? What you said doesn’t make sense.
“I don’t think God meant for multiple religions to exist.” — The devil is the ruler of this world and created all these religions to stray the people from the truth. There is not one religion, not even ONE that can get you into heaven with.
“that we should denounce all existing religions as such and create a personal bond with God” — I completely agree with you 100%. We are all sinners. Jesus lived a perfect life without sin (1 Peter 2:22). “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 This is basically saying the price of sin is blood. Jesus died a blameless death without sin but rose on the cross 3 days later conquering sin. Since the price of sin is blood and Jesus died on the cross without sin, this means that Jesus paid the ultimate price of sin, death. Jesus did this for us, he did this so he can take the blame for all our sins, and he did this so he could save us from our sins. As soon as Adam and Eve sinned they were forced to leave the Garden of Eden because sin condemned mankind to be separated from god, but only through Jesus who took all the blame for our sin could we have everlasting life in heaven with god and his love. So the only way to “create a personal bond with God” is through Jesus. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 3:14 Religions are trying to get to God through rules and regulations and works, which denies Jesus the meaning of his death. The devil created all religions.
I also want to point out that the Bible has been copied many times by many different people. There are more than 24,000 New Testament manuscripts making it the book with the most ancient manuscripts, second place goes to the Iliad by the Greek poet Homer with 643. At first glance this would seem that the Bible is not reliable because it has been copied so many times but it means the exact opposite. If you write a letter to a friend and it gets lost in the mail and you try to rewrite it you may add something in there that may not have been in the original letter. You won’t exactly know. Now if you write ten copies of the original and send them to ten friends the copies will probably have small errors but if you lose the original it would be easy to recreate it because the chances of making the same error in all ten are slim.
@ paco, u say the church is cleaning itself up and you state that gaga, beyonce and the illuminatti whores attack the church, this proves that the church is good. have you ever heard of oppisames? get the people to fight btwn two wrong parties that you control and that way you win whoever they choose. we may well need to get close to god, but we dont need a priest btwn us, the church killed woman as witches, killed the natives of south america for gold, has harboured peados for the last 50 yrs, started the crusades and the list goes on and on and on, so who are these people you say are cleaning up the church. there are so many christians and muslims fighting each other over who is the real religion that we get lost and the illuminatti walk all over us. we need a personal relationship with god and love for each other, im sorry to say that you are blinded. i wish u love and hope you can open your eyes to the fact we dont need someone else to control our relationship with god, that is elitism at its most obvious
And face it, so far Lady Gaga, Christina, Beyonce, Rihanna and others have attacked DIRECTLY the Catholic Church. It is the Catholic Church they hate the most. And it is the Catholic Church the one that they have tried to destroy the most.
Ask Madonna, Gaga and those filthy hos…
Thank you so much, this is a great article.
Wish we could wake up people,who don’t want to wake up.
The real issue nowaday is technology. The better technology gets the easier it is to dumb people down. If they get people to stop thinking so much and to not be so smart, people will obviously be much easier influenced. The problem is…it seems nowaday people don’t really care about being smart. I’m pretty bewildered by it, but it seems nowaday im pretty bewildered by the stupidity of people in general. I can say one thing for sure though people’s ATTITUDES and AMBITIONS have totally changed. They don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves!!!
The church is in “the game” too. Do you think they don’t know what the fudge is happening? They know of course! The pope knows and he is a part of it all! It is not the church who we should trust it’s the RELIGION and there’s a large difference between the religion ,like a greater power to believe in and the church as an institution.
)
Again an excellent article! I’ve been reading your post from a few months now and I really find it useful to hear the truth,because from times to times I really want to hear something more than just plain lies. As someone stated above ,most of this control over the mass media is pointed at the young generation ,because after 30 yrs. us [currently teens] will be the ones who will be working and making money for the ones who are now brainwashing us O_O And people think I’m weird ,because I never turn on the TV. If that’s so ,then I prefer to stay weird ,than be like everyone else!
Keep bringing the great articles!
Great work VC…..
I sent VC an email about Gabriela Cilmi’s new clip a couple weeks ago…hopefully he is analysing it as we speak! I caught the end of it one day and my jaw dropped…in just a year she went from “sweet about me” sounding like an Amy Winehouse clone to being the newest poster girl for social engineering!!! Absolutely blew me away….
I was waiting on an article like this. I think this subject is the most important. Tho it seemed kind of backwards, it may be good timing.
This article is basically my 3 years of communications in a single blast. If you can grasp these concepts/theories you will be able to analyze and deconstruct mass media and its mechanisms.
I fear it may be too tedious of a read for many but definitely worth examining.
Thank you Vigilant Citizen.
CLASSIC-these are the kinds of articles to be read,re-read and read again
Hi everybody
good article.Just wanna thank you for it and say that ” as a man thinks in his heart so is he” meditate the bible and there will be influence of the mass media in your life
i ve been spiritually too lazy but things will change!!! thanks for memindering me that i must not allow the devil through its agents control my life!!!
i was amazed at that coca-cola ad. it is said in the bible that people will take pleasure in doing sin than good towards the last days.TIC-TOK-TIC-TOK-TIC-TOK
there will be less and less and finally no influence of the mass media in our life!!!
Bella- For some odd reason I beleived all the wackos’s were placed in the church to ” one day” make it look bad. The church is pretty much over, ( which made me think of this ” life starts when the church end” )or more like things are going as planned. I must say it’s not the church, it’s the people. Not all churches. Mega churches get the side eye for sure ” A stage is for a performance”
Sidenote- ” church end” is a phrase my grandma would always use. Even in sunday school I remembered as a young girl (7, 8 yrs old) the church saying satan wanted the church to end. Meaning we live in a world where we do not beleive in God, it’s like God who? So when Jay-Z, said ” life starts when the church end” I knew off the back, what he was saying. People made a big deal over it, but I think it was for all the wrong reasons. He said, he was saying life start when you walk out the church, blah, blah blah. In my mind I knew what the term was associated with.
Brilliant work VC. Best article yet. Keep up the good work.
Profound article, thanks again vigilant!
Anyone interested in this, please watch Century of Self (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUYFr-uDQgg) if you haven’t already- It’s a documentary series that explores the dumbing down and brainwashing of society through the mass media over the last century, very interesting.
Viligent if that is the case what internet network on you giving this information through if nothing just happens and they control most of the norm and mass information? Are they letting you give this information or are you connected through a different mainstream connections? Thanks for the info very enlighten to say the least. I am really thinking about moving to Canada because I want something different then all of the US BS but I am sure that Canada is not exempt from being touched and manpulated but still is in way better condition then the US and still seem to care for there people right now anyway. I am tried of feeling like at am some puppet that is only filled with limited and conformed information when in reality I am more than that if I choose to be. I no longer watch much TV because there seem to be no truth in it anymore but for the ones the people who still want to stand up and fight against the system or at least within there mental space with no one really has any control over then yourself how are people like us getting through the system to inform the masses? Like Micheal Moore and even your website, not sure yet if they are apart of the system or just really good at what they do and know and are being watched over my God. Do you have any insight to the question that I am posing to you?
Thanks for the article, very eye opening!
It seems that you cannot trust anything these days and you have to take EVERYTHING with a pinch of salt. How does one know who to trust any more? Everyone has their agendas and like you’ve pointed out in the article, these agendas are being communicated through basically, every type of media availble to us! It shocked me when you mentioned that a member of a church was part of this elite. Can you imagine, someone who you trust spiritually, can be leading you astray without you knowing?!
Also, the whole idea of densensitisation, an extremely valid point I think. I was having a conversation with my friends the other day about the state of tv and music videos….the increasing sexuality on our screens is getting ridiculous….and that includes both hetero- or homosexuality. Anyway, my dismay was put down to me “getting old”, being a “prude” and “not being accepting of change”. I’m sure these “excuses” have also been reinforced by the media.
With the amount of influence these elitists have, emancipation is going to be a major uphill struggle….I say bring on the test!!!
LSD (and similar psychedelics) use are the crux of an unbelievably horrendous blood bath; and strewn with the cause of more death than could ever seem possibly imaginable to where we�re now living in a dark age. Not because of the actual drug(s) themselves, but because our Creator in His divine perfection … Is a jealous God for our benefit.
C.I.A. went wrong back in the late 1950s and early 60s, after sniffing out LSD-25 to study for mind control; that had been first isolated by Dr. Albert Hofmann at Sandoz Laboratories in Switzerland back in 1943. Having thus found out exactly what the whiz-bang can and cannot do. After that unfortunately, the C.I.A. irresponsibly then distributed LSD to mental institutions to study for schizophrenia, knowing well that LSD was an engine of sorcery and witchcraft.
I�ll presume In an attempt to justify the expense of the Project MK-ULTRA, where among other things they came up with a supposed, practical way to utilize this amazing psychedelic. They were likely, creatively seduced into perceiving that mental health clinical physicians, using LSD themselves ~ could better study their schizophrenic patients through astral projection, without ever having to be in the same lab room or observation facility to disrupt or influence their patient�s reactions or responses.
The major blunder is that, (by my presumption), their theoretically practical use of LSD to attain the ability of astral projection � is that astral projection is a dark art that can only be acquired by sorcery. The C.I.A. was irresponsible in not respecting that LSD was an engine of sorcery and witchcraft, and should have just scrapped it, and labeled it as something like: Abandoned ~ due to it being essentially a peculiar, fascinating troublemaker. Clue reminder � the Mother of harlots is our Father in Heaven�s tip that we�re getting screwed!

loved the info, thanks for posting!
Nice article VC,
it all is starting to make sense when you start to really see how the elite operates…they know exactly how we function, because they have programmed us….! We are all operating under thier operating system, now and then we get an update with new bullshitinformation and fake politics…
we buy into their 5 senses amusementpark that never ends and those evil genuises think about the next movie they can trick us with….
here is another good artricle about Carl Jung:
http://www.nndb.com/people/910/000031817/
He also seems to have something to do with the kabala and other mystic information….deep stuff
everyone needs to find out that we are played by psychopaths who are evil as hell
peace
BRING ON THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!!
This is unrelated to this article, great work by the way vigilant. Have you guys seen the new “Clash of the Titans” movie. It is a total deviation from the 1981 classic. Story line was changed, they only thing I got from the movie was the film makers trying to sell hatred to god ( in this case). That was not the original story line. About this article, it is splendid. As a christian, and a firm believer in the bible, brothers and sisters, their is abosultely nothing we can do to change anything. They new word order will come and it is here to stay, they anti Christ will come and will rule the world for the years assinged to him. So what is the way out, only one way out. Salavation comes through a one on one personal relationship with Jesus Christ. That is the only way, not by being nice to people, not by going to churchevery sunday and forgeting God through the week until the next sunday, not by avoiding watching telly. But to have a one on one relationship with Jesus Christ.
Great post! Thanks!
Namo
Great point and keep preaching that message… I no longer try to hold religious imagery but am working hard on knowing and believing my Lord and Savior.. I don’t watch TV at home but still feel that enormous strain still of the media mass manipulation and then when you have friends and family who also is all ready conformed to this lie it makes it hard and can make any person to feel all alone.. It is getting to the point where the only sanity that may be left is through like minded people, situations and circumstances I really feel that God is trying to lead me somewhere to safely and to develop me for the ride that is ahead. He is opening my eyes tremendously…
incredible, great job VC
The “church” is not an organization, it is made of up the individuals that put their trust in Jesus Christ and have his Spirit. Anything that concentrates power in the hands of a few individuals is not from God, sorry.
Pop stars and celebrities target the Catholic religion because many of them have been to Catholic School. One can hardly blame them for rebelling against the religious branch of the World System.
Great article. Maybe you should change the name of your site vigilantsexcitizen.com and the masses might check out the site.lol
I haven’t allowed t.v in the house for the last year and a half. However we do watch movies quite a bit but I sorta feel that at least with a movie I have control over what I watch and when I want to watch it. As for my children I think it is up to me the parent what they view and then be there to answer any questions they have and make sure there behavior is in check at all times. I find that they are super creative. I grew up in front of the tube and I do miss “vegging out” but I don’t miss the waisted time. I find that my creativity has soared as well.
Great post, thank you so much for this article.
Please do Christina Aguilera’s Not Myself Tonight, i’m suspecting she became another Illuminati puppet just look at the lyrics and the video please :p
its amazing how many people sought out the new christina aguilera video after seeing her album cover….lol.
To the people that made comments about Christina Aguilera and how she’s attacking the church in her new video : listen to the lyrics… Christina says she’s not herself tonight AND she says she’ll go back to the girl she used the be in the morning. You know? I’ll wait to see what the 2nd single/video looks like…
Christina’s just being a singer and doing her job. Everyone’s got to make a living.
Vigilant Citizen says we should STOP BUYING CRAP AND READ A BOOK… but that’s kind of vague to me… I mean, what books? Doesn’t the Illuminati own all books or something lol? How will reading books truly put a stop to the mess? People will just lose their jobs if you don’t buy their stuff… should people quit their jobs and not go to school? I mean really… what would be a real solution against the New World Order plan? I just don’t get it.
Honestly, I do not mind this New World Order thing as long as the “elite” doesn’t plan on murdering or hurting anybody or forcing people to become cyborgs and whatnot. I mean, I don’t know…
Anyways, I’ll keep listening to Christina Aguilera because she’s my favorite singer. That’s just how it is lol. I mean, my ears like the sound of her epic vocals.
Amazing work Vigilant!!! Those ads are so crazy! I have looked for things like this. the ice in the coca cola ad is terrible. I didn’t know about any of those. Right in front of our eyes. Also in The lion King the word sex goes across the sky in the form of clouds, Proctor and Gamble symbol is a man’s face on the moon with sixes in the beard. This can go on and on. I knew a lot of those companies belonged to other bigger companies but I didn’t know there were so many and AOL owned/controlled so many either. Thank you Vigilant. Hello’s to LVB and Baba how are you?
@ Ashley =) I know. I thought the same thing. that cover is pretty weird
I wondering whats goin on?
I meant Procter.
I agree with you @ Jonathan Gil
As usual great post, and to speak on a few of what people are saying about education being used.
I’m sure most people here have had “senior weeks” basically the last week before graduation where the school organizes planned activities for seniors. Well in my school one of the activities included a hypnotist, and not just that year but the same hypnotist has been coming to my school since I can remember. And who does he hypnotize, the graduating seniors of course,well I can speak on exactly what happened because my mom “a christian for 36+ years”, would not allow me to attend. And at first I was upset I didn’t understand the big idea but now I thank her because I gradated almost a year ago and at some point everyone I know always talks about the hypnotist. Senior week was an entire week I remember everything else, the photos we took, the workshops,but all my friends just remember the hypnotist and how I should have been there. Just always a little strange to me anyway great post and I look forward to your next post.
thanks for this article I am actually writing a paper on this subject for a class. This will be a great help
u never fail me, the wait seems like forever but when it finally comes its worth it
what im saying is u know ur stuff and i wish everyone were 1st open minded enough to acknowledge the truth but then after free to finally accept it.
I agree with jonathan gil before me about christina aguilera as i have too noticed what is now the obvious symbols and imagery in alot of her promo for her new album
What? Nah man I dont think u dont understand him hes not evil. This is the first time I caught something that was false. Oh well no one is perfect
!!GREAT SO IF WE KNOW THAT SATAN IS THE MASTER MIND OF THIS
WHY NOT KNEEL DOWN BEFORE GOD
AND PRAY THAT HE DOES NOT DESTROY US
WITH ALL THE DEMONS THAT GOVERN THIS WORLD
BUT IS LIKE WE KNOW AND SITLL DON’T BELIVE !!!
Wow another great artical VC please don’t let no one stop you from speaking your mind I’m only 15 years old and I’m glad I came acrosss your your website unlike the youth of America I do not let my thoughts and action be controlled by things I see on tv or hear in music .. Can’t wait for your next artical !!
.:i usually watch on certain things/shows on television like a daily routine but im sure i can watch ahnything and because im 19 i know whats wrong and right and nothing to many things in the mass media really influence me because im at that age where i can detect things however i do believe that kids should have a limited time amount to watch television because they can easily be influenced…..
OH and can you please do a post on the “Not myself tonight” by christina a. because ive seen it ans it definitely looks different/weird(not in a good way):.
thanks so much vigilant.. i commend u and support ur work, dont let nasty skeptics bring u down.
As CRASS said in the song “Nineteen Eighty Bore” :
“Big Brother ain`t watching you mate, you`re f****** watching him.”
watch ironman2 but on PIRATE so they wont get money. i was tsk-tsk-ing in my head from all the symbolisms from start to finish. thank you vc!
This is why 100% free markets are ridiculous.
People who advocate 100% free unregulated markets (eg Ron Paul) are mad because it will create the current sitiation of a few companies owning the majority of resources.
When a company gets successful and profitable it buys out weaker competitors, and the stronger it gets the more and more difficult it is for new companies to enter into the market, meaning we end up with the near monopolies we have these days.
Anyone can still watch TV and movies but remember subliminal messages are everywhere so be aware and be vigilant. Always believe in the good side/force/jesus’s life
Godspeed everyone!!!!!!

Being an Illuminati puppet is like a trend now. I’m pretty sure that some artists are just fascinated by the topic of secret societies and use symbolism in their videos for the hell of it. I’ve seen pyramids in the videos of indie artists. I don’t think they have any evil plans. They’re only inspired. It’s better to write a song about secret societies than a song about breaking up or some other overdone subject. Plus it gets the people talking.
Excellent as always, Vigilant.
Lots of food for thought. Now if we could just get more people to start thinking again…
well… what’s wrong with sex?
we are sexual beings, we do SEX! S-E-X
don’t you understand that all religions are created by the illuminati, including catholicism
Anne
Its funny you mention “trend” and “inspired”. Who do you think funds these videos? The artist? NO, the companies that are backed with tons of money that back the agenda of the elites.
If you do your research you will find out these artist are told what to wear, what to say, how to act, and they are even given songs to sing. They have “handlers” or what you would call a manager. Just do some research on how Brittany broke down. Most of the artist want to sing their own songs, but don’t get to. They submit to what they are supposed to do. Thus, starting trends and inspiring occult agendas. The media is run by the elite and they are the ones who deiced what gets out there. Lets face it why should celebrity’s make more money than a teacher? Why should we give a fuck what Brittany is wearing or what Beyonce is doing? Its because they want to get shit embedded in your head to follow the herd and wear the shirt that has an occult symbol. But its ok cuz your favorite artist is doing so. Who gives a shit about tabloids, inside edition, etc….The elite know you form an emotional bond with the artist and know you will follow what the artist is saying, wearing, and even singing. Like I said, the artist are given songs.Do you know the true meaning behind the song? or do you just go with what your told its about rather than trying to figure it out for yourself?
These so called artist are more like victims. They get programmed there is no turning back or they just fall off trying to become famous. Before you know it its to late and they end up getting killed or going off the deep end. You can’t do anything if you don’t have the money to back it up yourself. So if you can’t get the money where do you turn to? The bank that is also controlled by the elite or by a label that is also backed by the elite who control the money. Do the research you will be amazed on what you find out…..I could go on and on, but you will never see until you de-program yourself and really start to look. I warn you though you might no like what you find. Sometimes non-fiction (in the reality of it all) is stranger than fiction. If you can’t get your head out of the clouds or don’t really want to know the truth you will never understand or find the truth.
HEY EVERYONE…
If I was you I would try and look past what you just see and look at the meaning of it all. Why would you believe something just because its on TV? They don’t call it a TELEVISION PROGRAM for nothing.
PS…Awesome article VC!!Good job on keeping the info rolling.
I agree with Anne- not all symbolism is serious. I see people throwing a-ok signs all the time- they don’t know what it means, it’s just a trend. And maybe it’s lost it’s meaning as an occult sign by this point. I think people get hung up on origins- just because it meant something when it originates, doesn’t mean the meaning hasn’t evolved. It’s all about the middle ground- taking notice of symbolism, but not leaping into conclusions.
Also, as an amateur songwriter, I got a lot of inspiration reading through this website. Secret societies, symbolism, Monarch programming… it’s all some pretty heavy stuff, but it’s also fascinating. And I think that occultism and mind control can be referred to in media as a metaphor for the way people act every day. (For instance, disassociation is a regular human response to a lot of situations, and the idea of secret societies reflects the human urge to spread one’s agendas and manipulate shadows. )
If you guys thought the Coco-Cola add was funny. Check out the sunkist soda can. It says sinkist. If you get a chance check it out!
Nice work Vigilant,
I came across a book a while back that you may find beneficial. It reveals the tools of communication, which in turn will help you convey to your fans more hidden meanings behind lyrics, slogans, and so forth. It is called Cracking the Code and is written by Thom Hartmann.
I commend you on your approach and your steadfastness concerning this modern plight we now find ourselves immersed in. We can all breath a little easier now thanks to you.
I’m hoping that with this article, it means you are moving to tackle even greater topics.
u make a good point about how few companies own most of the media, and how most of the power is in the hands of the few, and u could call them elite
but this has never been hidden knowledge? an uneven distributtion of wealth is an inevitable consequence of capitalism surely?
and yes psychologists have been used to increase the selling power of products, and sex sells and all that, and the best are gonna be hired by the best and make an elite, but again, this isnt really new
but your site has never been about proving the illuminati through sociopolitics, its allways been about symbols ‘symbols rule the world’ and all that
yet, as far as i can tell, you make no attempt to link occult symbolism to corporate elites, you just say that media is being used to desensitize, and then leap to transhumanists and illuminatis?
have you actually got any evidence that corporations are occult, besides from the idea that you see occult symbols in pop videos and films?
seems a bit dishonest to me that you have to hide ur conspiracy illuminati theories behind well known social political and psychological facts, and then make no attempt to link the occult to it, and then act as though u have good reason to believe their are any occult groups in control of the world
(except religion, am i right eh?)
I’m guessing you never read his article on the top 5 most sinister company logos.
121- The Eye of CBS. You do not see that as a corporate link. The same eye on the back of the dollar. How corporate can you get. Did you read above or did you only comment. There are pictures up top linking these people to major cooperations. CBS is only to name a few. So I can not understand what it is you are actually saying. Do you know?
122 jasmine
think u misunderstand, u cant just point out that an occult symbol and someones logo look a bit similar, you have to prove that they intended to do so
and even if u did ud have to prove that they did it cus they are an occult corporation
the fact that their logos look a bit similar proves nowt, just that their logos look a bit similar
the assertion that therefore they are occult too is just an assetion till u actually find evidence
If you notice most of those companies logos have a pyramid in them.For example:The AOL logo.The vivendi universal logo.And the Viacom logo.
I didn’t realize the Coca Cola blowjob or the Axes thing but seriously…who could miss the Skittles “Sexplosion”. lol.
Mass media targets at kids because they are the next generation. Kids today get more and more messed up because this is what mass media is throwing at them. With the subtle and not-so subtle innuendos, teaching that being your own god is cool and following Jesus is old-fashioned, and the fact that pre-teens and teens are retarded enough anyway without mass media making them even MORE retarded, these kids don’t stand a chance unless their eyes are opened to what is going on. But kids today have never been so blind.
Our future… I don’t even want to know.
Ajs- I thought the article was more about mind control and how it works. You speak of a petty logo, but did you not see the words flash across the screen during the campaign add, or the cola picture. Someone above mentioned the sunkist soda can. It says “sinkist” I didn’t get these co. were an occult maybe, maybe not. What I have seen is enough. Your arguement is irrelevant due to many other facts!
Great post. I studied mass communications and psychology in college, and I’m familiar with many of the names and concepts presented here. The best defense against mass media influence is thinking for oneself, and, sooner or later, people will realize that reading truly is fundamental. Western cultures write down everything, and 99% of what you need to know exists within the pages of a book. Again, a wonderful post, and I will certainly visit the site in the future.
126 jasmine
so u think ur justified in making a leap from:
1 the logos look similar to occult symbols
to
2 therefore they are occult
u really think thats a justified conclusion?
or do u think u may need, i dunno, evidence before we accept that kind of claim
Of course they are of the occult. Occult means in secret idiot.
“…studies have shown that images of children trigger in women an instinctual need to nurture, to care and to protect…” This “instinctual need to nurture” etc is debatable.
Women don’t have an instinct to nurture or to care or to protect children but they are socialized (brainwashed) into thinking that way. The “instinct to nurture” is not biological but it is taught and learned through socialization.
Just a word about Aldous Huxley. He was the slickest of the slick. He was the quintessential insider pretending to be an outsider. Brave New World is not a condemnation of eugenics and transhumanism, it is a proponent of those ideas. How could it not be given the Huxley legacy. His whole family was dedicated to darwinism, eugenics and transhumanism. His grandfather T.H. Huxley created the term “agnostic” and was called “Darwin’s bulldog”. His brother Julian Huxley created the term “transhuman” and was a leader in the eugenics movement. I wrote a story that illustrates some of these connections named “Agnostica Eugenica Transhumana – A Dragon’s tail”.
http://publicvigil.blogspot.com/2010/05/agnostica-eugenica-transhuman-dragons.html
Aldous Huxley also introduced Hollywood to “psychedelic” drugs such as mescaline and LSD in the 1950s. In fact he had a hand in creating the very word “psychedelic”. And through Hollywood, drug use spread into the popular culture of the 1960s. This was actually part of an agenda by the Elite to promote these drugs and not some autonomous rebellious movement that spontaneously sprung up as most people believe. Huxley, by cleverly disguising himself as a consummate rebel, was able to convincingly pull off this deception. Actually he was receiving the LSD that he distributed in Hollywood via parties at his home through a CIA connection named Captain Alfred M. Hubbard.
http://www.fargonebooks.com/high.html
I’ve done extensive research on how LSD “escaped” from the CIA MKULTRA mind control experiments of the 1950s into the general public in the 1960s and hope to eventually write an article on this subject. At the center of it all lies Aldous Huxley. Which leads me to believe that he was an agent of American or British Intelligence, or more likely both.
Hey Vigilant, I LOVE your work, you are always spot on with your analysis . I would love to see you do an article on Christina Aguilera, specifically her album Bionic and first single ” not myself tonight” Thanks alot VC
amazing…..this is great stuff!….much love
@Zoe 129
“The “instinct to nurture” is not biological but it is taught and learned through socialization.”
Unless you can provide a source to prove that I have to say you are almost certainly wrong. In almost every single species in nature the females have very strong motherly nuturing links to their young, in some cases even to the point of dying for them.
The most common mistake made nowadays is to think that Church directly means clergy. Church means the laity and the believers. The Clergy is the ecclesiastic authorities. But the Church is integrated by the people. So when I said Catholic Church I was not directly speaking about the Ecclesiastic Authorities. I was talking about the laity, the brothers and sisters in Christ, baptized who participate in the mass and who receive the body of Christ and practice his teachings, follow his rules and commandments.
Yes, ex-catholics happen to be some of the worst enemies of Catholicism, but not more than Freemasons, Illuminati, Liberalists, Communists, Neo-nazis, Pro-Choice… and all that groups.
How can you people be so blind? You trust Vigilant on what he says about the messages twisted in the media, and do believe that the music artists are selling you the agenda of the elite, yet believe the elite when they tell you the Catholic Church is evil???
The Ecclesiastic authorities HAVE been infiltrated by Illuminati, we know it, THEY know it, but why is the general public so eager to face the truth, the ELITE has INFILTRATED each and every opposite group they have: They have infiltrated the Tea Parties, the Ron Paulites, the Catholic Church, the Protestant Churches, the Ortodox Church, governments, news papers, news channels, the media, EVERY MAJOR source of information or morals HAS BEEN infiltrated. You are all acting like the Elites would not be able of doing it.
The reality here is: Unplug yourself of the Matrix, they lie over 90% of the time about all ‘news’, they are NOT telling you the truth, or not completely, or taking it out of context. In the end what you see and get from the major media HAS BEEN modified to fit the Elite’s interest.
And every person in here who says they trust Vigilant should be aware that the Elite has got way more interests than selling sex and products to your children. WAKE UP people. For real!.
Wow, you outdone yourself once more, Vigilent. I took a “Archetype and Movies” course in university a few years ago. Teacher made us go through whole concept of Jung and how they applied to movies. Made me see movies in a different manner. I really like some of his books. Now you’re saying he was a freemanson? Damn, I shoulda known.
this article was good but a little all over the place
Subliminal stuff!! How about that song PYRAMID by Charice? They say the word pyramid a million times
FULLY IN AGREEMENT WITH SUPERNINJA , COMMENT 45 , AND PACO ,COMMENT 134 .
“STOP BUYING THEIR CRAP AND READ A BOOK.” Exactly! Stop consuming your culture. Start creating your own culture.

______________________________________________________________________________________
Wow, that’s pretty deep! I never thought of it that way… they’re telling you flat out what their agenda is. We’re just too trusting and naive to see it.
Vigilant, I just wanted to say that this article is excellent! I never watch television because I know that it does something to me on a subconscious level. I see people’s ideas being molded by television, video games, popular music, and certain books. Nowadays it seems that most Americans see what would have formerly been perceived as absurd, as being totally acceptable. Ten years ago, Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” video would have been blasted by the public, but today it’s considered “cool” and “edgy”. And if you don’t like it, then you’re viewed as the weird one!!
It frustrates me that so many people are too complacent to think for themselves. Most people in this country, it seems, eat whatever is fed to them, spiritually, mentally, and physically. The media, along with the fast food, meat and dairy industries, and the medical and pharmaceutical industries are all working together to drain you of your energy, your finances, your spirituality and your individuality!
Please take a stand against this!
how funny, my 6 yr old son and i son where watching a kid’s channel and this commercial for apple jacks I beleive, poped up, as usual, with all cereal commercials, talking caricatures that look speeded out on meth or some kind of stimulant and look overly happy with eyes popping out, so anyway, after the commercial my son says “i want that cereal” why? I asked: thinks about it for a minute “cause…it’s good” its good? I say, “yeah” that’s it? I ask again, “yeah…it makes me feel good” thought it was funny even though he’s never tried it
but just goes to show, theyre on cue with this stuff, making a 6 yr old beleive that a cereal he’s never tried will make him feel good….with a freaking commercial
Ever since I engulfed myself with working out twice a day i realized that I haven’t even watch TV like I used to. I am not surprised about the subliminal messages on television. My friend told me about one subliminal message that if you look at the Camel advertisement for cigarettes. If you look at the Camel character his nose looks like a penis and his lips looks like balls…lol
I am interested about Lauren May’s drunken grandfather and the things he squeled lol
:The “simpler code” devised for the masses used to be organized religions. ”
Vigilant…..I think the term ‘organized religions’ is very dumb. What religion is not organized in some way or the other? Can you be more specific – I suppose you meant major religions like Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and to some extent Judaism. But even the most minor pagan branch is organized. Whats the problem with today’s society, that having something being ‘organized’ and/ or having tradition is somehow flawed? I hear this stuff so many times, I wonder, who injected this kind of terminology into people’s minds, and keeps injecting it? In whose interest is it – to make people believe the past is ‘flawed’ and do not look into it? Do not question it? Make ‘herds’ believe they should not know it, despite the vast amounts of information available these days? Oh yeah, except the independent thinkers..which by most part, are quite lost and present arguments, not answers.
Those who buy into ‘organized religion controlling masses’, most likely do not know anything well inside any major religion, and its an easy way to deny something deep and enjoy things on a surface much like what the current entertainment industry is providing making people into ADD walking pleasure seekers.
Also Vigilant, it would be nice to see names and photos of the owners of these major corporations, I think…
If AOL Time Warner owns Sony, doesn’t that mean that only 4 companies are running the show?
OK, “AT THE END OF THE DAY” WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE IF WE KNOW THIS AND WE CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? WE CANT STOP THEM??? IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN…WHAT DO WE TURN TO? OR TO WHOM? FEEL FREE TO WRITE BACK
Okay, I’m gonna use the name ‘Daniel Mike’ to differentiate myself from the other ‘daniel’ (the other daniel had asked what’s wrong with sex) ..
There is nothing wrong with sex.
But it is IRRESPONSIBLE and evil to blatantly expose underage/young children to sex through subliminal and obvious reference to the ‘adult’ side of sex, such as graphic and lewd representation of the human genitalia, sexual acts (sex positions, S&M, bondage, kinkiness) and suggestiveness to it., whether to sell a product, service or for anything.
Children should learn about sex from sex education at school, not through watching the latest sexual exploits of Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian on TV or through the lewd sexual suggestiveness of a music video like Christina’s latest one.
Heck, some kids nowadays think it’s cool to dress up as a hooker, so that just shows how influential sexual imagery is in the media and how f***ed up our society has become.
Paco-
All I can say is: Revelation 18:4-8.
World religion is about to fall. The political and economic systems are about to turn on the harlot.
Get out now.
Don’t subscribe to the nationalistic/consumerist agenda either. Neither the United States or the United Nations are going to be able to save anyone.
Matthew 24:15. The disgusting thing is about to put itself in God’s place. Time to flee to the mountains.
beberodri – Thanks for sharing the story about your son and the cereal commercial. His response: “yeah…it makes me feel good” shows you exactly how their propaganda works. You can think of the commercial as a meta-product. The product in this case is the breakfast cereal aimed at children which is ultimately what they are trying to get you to buy. In order to sell you this product however, first they must create an intermediate “meta-product” which is the commercial.
The commercial does not tell your son to go out and buy the cereal. It does not attempt to sell the product directly. Instead it is designed to simply instill a desire for the product in your son. It re-programs him so that he comes to believe that this product will make him “happy”. Once the programming has been accomplished by the “meta-product” (the commercial) he will believe that his desire for the “product” is self-generated.
And don’t think that this works only on children. The same can be seen in adults who get programmed to believe that a car can make them happy, or a big screen TV can make them happy, or an I-pad can make them happy. This is the very definition of Edward Bernays consumer society. This is sometimes expressed as “the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys”, or “the one who dies with the most toys wins”, or even “I-owe, I-owe. It’s off to work I go.” But these popular expressions only scratch the surface of this phenomenon.
Daniel Mike – You should have said: “There is nothing wrong with sex within a holy marriage as long as it is done with the full understanding that this is a gift from God.” That is not to say that sex should only be done for the purpose of procreation. This is (more or less) the official position of the Catholic Church. Once you begin to expand this definition, you fall down the slippery slope of sexual liberalism. And eventually you end up where we are today in American society. In our case this happened within the lifespan of one generation. It began with the “sexual revolution” of the 1960s and here we are. The “sexual revolution” in turn was ignited by the birth control pill. The birth control pill was funded by Planned Parenthood with money funneled through it by foundations like the Rockefeller Foundation. Planned Parenthood was founded by eugenicist Margaret Sanger with money provided by these same foundations – like Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sanger
See also the movie Maafa 21 which discusses in great detail how Planned Parenthood focused its attention on black and minority communities in order to accomplish its eugenics goals.

What if our television is the AntiChrist? We’d be so screwed.
*Applauds* Wonderful article! Yes, this explains a lot.
Dude, total B.J. in those ICE CUBES!
I keep coming across comments suggesting that atheists are evil people. Well, not evil
but seem to be advocating the idea that there exists a supreme being, generally God. Which
is a bit disconcerting since this website is about the truth and
exposing various techniques of public control.
Brilliant.
ps:
and of course, among the many i forgot in my list of truthseekers and of great people who are trying to help humanity thru various means, the greatest of all, to me: BILL HICKS.
damn, if after seeing his shows you still see things as before, then u DESERVE doom.
I find consolation in the fact that no matter how much atrocities these elites commit against mankind just to finally bring about their one world government (run by the anti-christ); GOOD will still eventually triumph over evil, all their wicked works will be exposed, Jesus Christ WILL return destroy this earth and create a new heaven and a new earth for His saints and EVERY KNEE will bow to him. He WILL cast the devil, his agents, the antichrist and his false prophet and all who are unfortunately on their side at that time into the lake of fire where they will burn for all eternity. This is the truth, people: believe it or reject it, it’s still gonna happen.
i assume, maybe wrongly, that most of the ppl writing on this blog are from the US, or live there, incl Vigilant himself. as many of the most informed ppl writing about the nwo….
cos u got the fiercest battle going on in your country, in my opinion, so it’s normal that u also have the more awake ppl there, too… the most prepared fighters…,
ok, freemasonry was born in old europe, but then they all estabilished their major bases in the amerikas and to me americans are the most heavily subliminally nad not so subliminally bombarded of the planet! i am talking as a “european” living in europe, so to speak.
i had the chance to travel, even if mostly in europe, and i noticed very many differences….. i guess they base their subliminals also on the population/countries…..
so, when i was in london i remember in our hostel room we had tv and i was very surprised on how calm it all looked, hours and hours of natural programs showing hills and flowers, WITHOUT SOUNDS NOR COMMENTARIES, which is kinda strange to us. in italy we always have some voice telling and interpreting FOR US.
then here in germany were i live now tv is very boring and grey, they have this crazy programs in which u see this weird guy dressed in the typical bavarian dress, u know, with feathers and all, interviewing some sheperd walking along with his cows or sheeps in a street of a small german village…. then showing his cheese and stuff… this kind of very simple and kinda stupid stuff….
and on the other hand u got very many police movies and law enforcement stuff, which fits perfectly with the german mentality that tends very much to be very obedient, even the young people, very honest and precise…. so they strenghten this attitude with all such programs in which the cops are portraied as young, goodlooking, balanced and in general the best friend u could ever have!
in italy, instead, emotions go strong…. everything that shows people getting back together, or dad and daughter who didnt see eachother for years or relatives who never met eachother meet again and shit like that, and also reality tv… also connected with emotions of course… is strong… the italian version of big bro and survivor and that shit…… so italians like emotions and gossip and to see other ppl go down in the mud so they can feel better about their miserable lives…..
in france they wanna u to think they are the most balanced and that theirs is the freer and more honest tv and news u can get….. and of course they try so hard, making also fun of their leaders in a seemingly hardcore way, u know when they wanna u to believe they are being alternative and edgy and questioning when it is still big bro talking about big bro and nothing more.
when i was little in russia (i was born there) i remember by my grandma’s house i saw all this crappy telenovelas from argentina or brazil or chile or whatever, not even doubled but roughly translated… there was like a voice telling u what the dialogue was about… rrrrrrrrrrrrrreaaaally old school.
only there, and in places like poland, u still have such retro’ technology…. so i think also their subliminals are a bit retro’..too?
the most blatant and hardcore subliminals and tv programs i saw on american tv for sure…… in italia i had cable tv and i could get cnn and other channels…. really really those advertising were super fast, with flashing lights, deep or weird sounds…… really creepy sometimes…. too hard too loud and too damn fast for me cos i was not used to that!
but i guess if youre born in the us with a constant diet of that u really become very desensitized…..
and then, remember the pokemon scandal years ago when they said some kids went epileptic cos of the flashing lights used in the popular japanese cartoon?
well japanese tv is siiiiick too…. very very weird programs, veeery weird people and all that pokemon-like stuff is really creepy….. teletubbies gives me shivers down my spine…… but also those cartoons i used to see when i was little back in italy….. most of them japanese, of course. very very bad stuff. much programming goin on there, much bad messages being spread, much falsity and very many subliminals for sure!
nowadays videogames took their place…… i used to play a lot of the shit back then, cannot say it didnt affect me…..
daniel mike,
and remember that paris and the others u mention, christina, brit spears and many major hollywood stars, too, are all mk ultra fucking programmed drones.
empty shells….
Ajs or should I say Extropia- Here we go again, now did I say any thing about the logos looking similar? Altho I have seen many occult symbols in every day life. For starters the snake and cross on an ambulance, which was not the point, and I did not say that today. Here you go again putting words in my mouth. What I said was maybe, maybe not ( a few people own every thing and most are associated with the occult) most importantly it’s not the point. I think the point is mind control. You are being you but how did you get I said the logos & co. were occults smh at you again. Please refrain from putting words in my mouth. You always do that. Sincerly balance
Another key elitist figure was Bertrand Russell. His ideas and influence were central to the formation of the United Nations. Here are a few of his thoughts:
“In the areas in question we have to push a deliberately negative population policy. With the propaganda campaigns, especially in the press, radio, movies, leaflets, short brochures, educational presentations and the like, the population must be induced toward the thought of how damaging it is to have many children. We must point to the costs which children entail, and then it should be pointed out what could have been bought instead. The great dangers to the health of women which can emerge in births can be pointed out, and the like.
In addition to this propaganda, generous propaganda in favor of means of birth control must be spread. An industry specialized in such means has to be created. Neither the approval or dissemination of birth control means should be punishable, nor abortion. We ought to absolutely promote the establishment of abortion institutes. Midwives and medics can be trained to give abortions. The more professionally the abortions are carried out, the more the population will gain trust in this respect. Also physicians must of course be permitted to carry out abortions, without a violation of his medical oath coming into question.
Voluntary sterilization is also to be promoted. Infant mortality must not be combatted. Mothers must not be instructed about care for infants and children’s diseases.
Once we have converted the mass of the people to the idea of a one- or two-child system, we will have reached the goal we are aiming at.”
“I find the coloured people friendly and nice. They seem to have a dog’s liking for the white man—the same kind of trust and ungrudging sense of inferiority. I don’t feel any recoil from them.”
Russell writes: “It is entirely clear that there is only one way in which great wars can be permanently prevented, and that is the establishment of an international government with a monopoly of serious armed force. … An international government, if it is to be able to preserve peace, must have the only atomic bombs, the only plant for producing them, the only air force, the only battleships, and generally whatever is necessary to make it irresistible. … The international authority must have a monopoly of uranium, and of whatever other raw material may hereafter be found suitable for the manufacture of atomic bombs. It must have a large army of inspectors who must have the right to enter any factory without notice; any attempt to interfere with them or to obstruct their work must be treated as a casus belli. The international government … will have to decide all disputes between different nations, and will have to possess the right to revise treaties. It will have to be bound by its constitution to intervene by force of arms against any nation that refuses to submit to the arbitration. Given its monopoly of armed force, such intervention will be seldom necessary and quickly successful.”
- Bertrand Russell
thanks vigilant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love the message
VC says: “Is there a way to stop this?” Yes, there is. STOP BUYING THEIR CRAP AND READ A BOOK.
I would recommend starting with what used to be referred to as The Good Book – that is, The Holy Bible. And then find a church that is not captive to the Elite’s agenda. Surround yourself with like minded people so that you can offer support to each other. This is what the early Christians did. In most ways they had it much tougher than us – they faced torture and death. But in some ways we have a tougher battle, because we are facing an invisible enemy.
I suspect the image on the Metropolis poster is of Prometheus, stealing fire (the city) from the Gods and delivering it to Man. Notice that the beams emerging from the top of the image form a pyramid and are enclosed in a circle forming an eye. This is similar to the eye within the capstone of the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill.
The myth of Prometheus stealing fire from the gods and delivering it to man is essential to understanding the agenda of the Elite. Why else would they create Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City as a temple to the god of Prometheus? See photos near the bottom of this page:
http://publicvigil.blogspot.com/2010/04/they-clone-horses-dont-they.html
The fire represents science and technology which are to triumph over religion according to the plans of the Elite. Nietzsche expressed this most clearly in 1883 when he says in Also sprach Zarathustra, “God is dead”.
When Nietzsche says: “I beseech you, my brothers, remain faithful to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes! ”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thus_Spoke_Zarathustra
He is equating the earth to science and the otherworldly to religion. HIs superman or Übermensch is simply the darwinian notion of “the survival of the fittest”. The Elite, who actually represent some of the worst sociopaths among us, believe themselves to be genetically superior. Nietzsche is appealing for a scientific “culling of the herd” along darwinian-eugenic principles so that a race of supermen will be born through “evolution”. This call was taken up by all the Elite world-wide, but most famously by Hitler and the Nazis. This agenda has not disappeared, but rather has been re-packaged through the use of Public Relations techniques and is now being sold as Transhumanism.
LVB – That’s a stunning quote from Bertrand Russell regarding the UN. And of course you know that the eugenic leader Julian Huxley (brother of Aldous) established UNESCO with the very same agenda with regards to an elitist birth control plan. It’s sad to think that churches actively collect funds to support UNICEF which is a component of UNESCO.
VC. I would love to see you do an article on Rockefeller Center. It’s not just the statue of Prometheus. The whole complex is filled with Illuminati symbols.
There is a virtual tour of Rockefeller center here:
http://www.museumplanet.com/tour.php/nyc/rc/0
In it you can see the many works of art dedicated to ancient greek and roman deities. I’m sure there is lots of Freemason symbolism liberally sprinkled in there as well. It has to be one of the most important occult temples established by the Elite in plain sight. And it is symbolically placed at the heart of the financial capital of the world – New York City.
baba
Once you understand the thinking of the elitist founders of all these movements and institutions, the big picture should become very clear to any rational person.
It simply is what it is.
jasmine
sorry im not extropia, are u balance as well then?
i thought u said u knew that aol was occult cus their triangle with a circle in it looked like the illuminati pyramid with an eye in it?
must have got that from someone else, got confused n tht, wasnt meaning to put words in your mouth, my apologies
but seriously, that seems to be peoples round here standards of proof, if someone has things that look similar to occult symbols, then they must be occult
‘vigilant’ makes these sensible points about the line between government, big business and elites becoming blurred, but then leaps, with no evidence, to they must be occult
im just saying that accusing big business/government/pop stars of being occult is an accusation that needs more then ‘they had things that look like occult symbols’
and he touches upon some psychological techniques used by psychologists hired by big business to make better adverts and increase sales, but again, this is not mind control, and such an accusation needs better evidence then ‘one ice cube looks a bit like a guy giving a blow job’
baba,
I’ve actually written an article on Rockefeller Center last year http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=329
took most of the pictures myself
Also, I’m pretty positive that the figure in that Metropolis poster is Atlas, who also has a statue in the Rockefeller Center.
Vigilant. Just want to point out that we are duped into believing that someone somewhere has a plan and even if they don’t, there is nothing anyone can do to stop it since they control production, distribution and what not. Propaganda is what we are. Call it humanism/transhumanism, but the bottom line of our identity is designed and we don’t even know it. I wish for a solution but most of my “friends are just happy to be where they can pig out and wallow in it. If I mention this I am mocked with stock comedic names. Even my Best Friends seem to accept all this and who am I to say they are wrong. They have plenty of rich and famous authorities to glibly rationalize the futility of thinking on their own. It is nice to know there are a few mostly onlin who get it. I do not relish my rarity. I can see that the human species is suicidal. No one has convinced me otherwise. I still try to wake up the sleepers but they usually pull me their way. It’s a lonely old truth.
To further expound on manipulation tactics, most acquiesce to the elite’s agenda occurs using the following plan.
The Six-Step Attitudinal Change Plan works like this:
1. Some practice so offensive that it can scarcely be discussed in public is advocated by a RESPECTED expert in a RESPECTED forum.
2. At first, the public is shocked, then outraged.
3. But, the VERY FACT that such a thing could be publicly debated becomes the SUBJECT of the debate. In other words, the focus of the debate is shifted, from the facts of the debate to the fact that “aren’t we proud of ourselves that we can even be discussing this subject in public”?
4. In the debate, SHEER REPETITION of the shocking subject gradually dulls its effect.
5. People are then no longer shocked.
6. No longer outraged, people begin to argue for positions to moderate the extreme; or, they accept the premise, challenging the means to ACHIEVE it.
This process is all the more insidious because the change in attitude occurs in the subconscious; thus, many persons are not even aware their attitudes have been changed.
I would like to have some concrete information with regard to C.G. Jung being a freemason. I have read many books by,and about Jung ,but it is the first time I have heard any reference to him being associated with masonry.Freud was a member of B,nai Brith, which was branch of Scotch Rite freemasonry,I know,but I would be thankful if someone could give me some definite information concerning Jung.
@ Peter Appleby, there was a mistake in the article, I was meaning to write that his grandfather, Carl Gustav was a Grand Master. I’ve corrected the article. Thanks for pointing this out. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jung was initiated somewhere but I cannot found any concrete evidence of this.
I dont think there is anything wrong with Selena Gomez
wow it’s amazing what goes on without our knowledge… If you see shows like Gossip Girl and 90210 which are trying to get kids to get wasted, and spend money they don’t have on expensive clothes like they wear in the show. I knew this was going, and it’s no doubt in my mind that this is how George W. Bush won the election.
Wow, I had my suspicions of such things, but wow. THis is mind blowing. Let’s educate the rest, shall we?
All symbols mean something. Sometimes the meaning is percieved to have changed based on it being given a new meaning, but usually they are somehow related, because that is how communication and language evolve.
However, to believe that the “masses” (you and me) are in control of determining what those symbols mean does not seem to hold up. It is a top-down thing funnelled through entertainment and the media. Just because people throw an “a-okay” without knowing what it means does not change the fact that it has a deeply esoteric meaning. What it more likely means is that the population has come to accept the occult symbol as “normal”, which was their original intention! So, mission accomplished for the World System and its rulers.
We should all just relax now, eh? The whole point is to saturate everyone so that good is evil and evil is good and no one cares about the difference as long as you are getting your vices fed and have access to all of the idols you love.
VC – I should have known that you would have already written about this.
Nice pictures. I’m going to go read it now carefully. Thanks. I think you’re right about the figure in the Metropolis poster being Atlas. That would make sense since he is “holding up the city”. But I also know that these symbols usually have multiple meanings – some more subtle than others. Prometheus is a Titan and a brother of Atlas. I think there is some symbolism there that suggests Prometheus as a secondary interpretation. There is the light emanating from the skyscraper at the top of the building. And there is the amorphous light-emitting object in the background which reminds me of the “fennel-stalk” that Prometheus is holding in the Rockefeller Center statue. The whole poster is bathed in a fiery glow which reminds me of the fire that Prometheus stole from the gods. And the whole city could be envisioned as a giant torch. This could be interpreted as Prometheus “stealing” the whole city from Mt. Olympus (the heavens) where the gods reside and carrying it down as a gift to Man. In this case the city would represent not just fire but all of modern technology.
And then it could just be that I have Prometheus on my brain ever since I discovered the importance of this myth to the Elite. Did you know that the full title of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” which she published in 1818. And that her husband Percy Shelley published a play in 1820 titled Prometheus Unbound? Prometheus Unbound is a play in which the gods (religion) are depicted as evil and Prometheus (science) is the hero.
http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Texts/prometheus.html
“He [Prometheus] gave man speech, and speech created thought,
Which is the measure of the universe;
And Science struck the thrones of earth and heaven”
Shelley had to subtly hide his atheistic views in order to avoid persecution. Remember that he was a proponent of “free love” which was nothing but the occult worship of Bacchus. I could easily see how the creators of Metropolis would have been influenced by both Frankenstein and Prometheus Unbound.
P.S. Many thanks to you for this site. You are an inspiration to all of us.
T.B.A. – What your referring to is called the “echo chamber”. A story is planted somewhere by the creators of a P.R. campaign. Then that story is repeated in a newspaper article. A TV commentator comments on the newspaper article. Talk shows discuss the issue. More newspaper articles appear, and so on. The next day everyone is talking about it at work during lunch time. And it seems as if they are all repeating one version or another of the same story – unaware that the whole thing was created through a P.R. campaign. This is especially easy now given how a few companies control radio, TV, music, movies, newspapers, magazines – the mass corporate media.
I think there are some interesting ideas about “organized religion” that set it apart. Truthfully, I could care less for the term religion. Jesus didn’t even seem to love this terminology and instead kept it simple and said it was about following him, and if you know him, you know God, while condemning the highly organized and intellectually gifted religious leaders of his day.
Organization and structure are necessary to many things, it exists in nature. There is a difference between freedom in Christ through the power of the Spirit, and control, fear, and structure so that man can feel comfortable and secure, without having to exercise real faith. Instead, people end up placing their faith in men and institutions, in the law, which is nothing more than mimicking the operation of the World System, back to the old way of doing things.
Since when does Jesus need a building, tax rideoffs from the government 501(c)3 status (ask yourself in exchange for what on that one), the denominations that come with that, accumulation of material wealth, since when does Jesus Christ have one representative on Earth like the Pope?
Thank you for such a great article. There is always eye opening articles here. I would love to see an article on the occultic content in videogames (mmorpg’s), like world of warcraft, dungeons and dragons, etc. I know people who play these games and it really keeps them in bondage to where that’s all they think about, regardless of whether they have a family with kids or not. I find the hold on people’s minds from these games quite alarming.
Keep letting the Holy Spirit guide you vigilant You are heading in the right direction but you are not even close to being done.
superninja – I have an opinion about the interpretation of symbols which I know won’t be very popular here. One of the things the early Christians did was to adopt the symbols of other religions and give them their own interpretation. In so doing they appropriated the symbols for themselves. Some have interpreted this as meaning that Christianity is really just a form of paganism. I disagree. I think that they understood (consciously or not) that it was important to control the meaning of symbols.
These symbols are most apparent today in the Roman Catholic church (and Orthodox churches). The Protestants discarded these symbols because they interpreted them as the worship of false gods. There was good reason for this and this worked for a while. But the problem is that these symbols were then re-adopted and re-interpreted by the new occult religions. Since they had been discarded by many Christians, they did not have a strong Christian interpretation (except within Catholicism).
What I’m saying is that the good intentions of the Protestants, left a vacuum which the occult forces used to their advantage. I’m also saying that in order to combat this, it is necessary for Protestants to either convert to Catholicism or modify their denominations in a way to re-introduce these symbols back into their religious practices. And also that Catholics must re-educate themselves about the Christian interpretations of these symbols and re-vitalize their faith.
I don’t think that in this day and age, it is enough to turn to fundamentalist Protestantism which just tells young people to reject these symbols. The young people are being flooded with these images constantly and they need to be aware of the symbols and be able to associate them with their Christian religion in order to not fall under the sway of the occult forces.
superninja – The Church is God’s army on Earth. You wouldn’t want to go into war without a general in command. That would lead to a slaughter. Which is what we are seeing today. A slaughter of Christianity by the combined forces of the occult and the atheist. All in the name of secularism and science.
LVB, Baba, VC you all are muses for me!
Thank you
Notice the lack of Media attention being given to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig explosion. News conveniently focuses our attention on the fake NY propane bomb as the world’s worst ecological diaster unfolds. Limbaugh blames Eco-terrorists as Obama send SWAT Teams to other rigs, all under the pretext of Terrorism. Halliburton’s “Cementing” failed and or BP’s control over the Blow out Preventers fails and terrorists who necessarily must have gotten direct access to massive hydraulic valves 5000ft deep get the blame.
Think the dutiful press will cover Obama’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner where he said “My approval ratings are falling here with the economy but are high where I was born”. He also said “Love is hard to find, well love and a birth certificate”.
Going to be a lot of Press Passes in Hell! Projectdarkbook.com/ Theresnothingnew.org/
Quoting Zoe:
” “…studies have shown that images of children trigger in women an instinctual need to nurture, to care and to protect…” This “instinctual need to nurture” etc is debatable.
Women don’t have an instinct to nurture or to care or to protect children but they are socialized (brainwashed) into thinking that way. The “instinct to nurture” is not biological but it is taught and learned through socialization.”
Now this is feminist brainwashing if ever I heard it. aargh
Oh, and:
“A slaughter of Christianity by the combined forces of the occult and the atheist. All in the name of secularism and science.”
Yes Christianity is massively under attack, but to an extent it has brought about its own demise because it distorted Jesus’s true teachings from the very beginning. Organised religion is not the way.
This is a very informative post Thanks VC! There’s plenty to get started and read.
I laugh at how often Nietzche is quoted everywhere I look. Whenever a man is so revered and quoted I like to look into his background, not what he’s written, but where he came from and what happened to him in order to understand why he wrote what he did. Nietzche was brought up in a strict religious household without a father and lived with his spinster aunts most of his formative years, he died from mental illness…and is one of the greatest philosophical minds of the 19th century…this says it all for me.
God is dead? No, Nietzche is dead!
Thank you so much! All they worry about is money. Ugh >__<
Wow…Vigilant speaks again. (Comment 167). For a moment, i actually believed you and LVB were the same person. As to Daniel (171), if something isn’t wrong with her yet then it’s certainly coming cuz she seems to be in the wrong hands at the moment., isn’t she the star of ‘The Wizards of Waverly Place’? I find it suprising that people are no longer shocked at how deeply witchcraft has become entrenched into entertainment for kids. More evidence of the ‘dumbing-down’, i guess.
baba,
I don’t disagree with you. In fact, it speaks to my point that esoteric symbols do not lose their original meaning just because someone adopts them. There was already the spirit of anti-christ infiltrating as Christ’s church was first born, it says it right there in the Scriptures.
I’ve never agreed with the early church attempting to co-opt Roman symbols or rituals. Much like the modern organized church does, with their “Christian” version of everything the world produces. We are supposed to be in the world, not of it, I don’t think it requires adopting their symbols. In my opinion, it was already on its way to having paganism thoroughly mixed in by the time Constantine came around.
I am not opposed to generals. But aren’t we ALL supposed to be generals, or growing into generals anyway?
Also, there is nothing to fear in these symbols. You can recognize them for what they are and speak out against them. There is nothing to fear from the music, the entertainers, the politicians, they don’t have power over Christ.
To me, it is more worthwhile to explain to people that are exposed to them what they are seeing and how to think for themselves, and to let them know that Jesus Christ is here to set them free from the power of these things and the plans of their makers. To let them know how they are being manipulated and why there is a better way. Not to sit around creating supposedly sanitized Christian versions of them so that we can feel safe. We’re not supposed to isolate ourselves from the culture.
I believe there is a passage in Revelation where it talks about being (spiritually) hot and cold, but that God will spit out the lukewarm.
I thought I was the only one thinking the bomb scare was fake. It was staged so corney. They probably pulled some random Arab off the plane and locked him up.
Thats exactly what we are talking about, the illusion of things. Making you think something, when it is not. Peferct example as to how they work.
Freeyourmimd – Thanks. I personally need a process of dialogue in order to grow. So for me it’s a blessing to have VC’s site here to exchange ideas.

perfect example of how this groups mind works
you take an event
hypothesise a cause behind it without any evidence at all
and then act like its been proven
and then add it to your list of things that definately convince you your right
this is what i mean when i say that this conspiratorial world view gives you a simple black white way of looking at the world
why not wait till theres proper evidence before asserting u know the cause?
Howard – RE: The Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig explosion
When the forces of science fail it’s importance is diminished in the corporate media, because science is supposed to be perfect and never fail. When religious forces fail, it is magnified to the highest importance because it is used by the secularists to demonstrate the faults of religion.
People say “why aren’t there signs from God like in the days of the Bible”. There are signs all around if you can only read them. An oil rig explosion that demonstrates the failure of man-made science leading to a natural catastrophe. A volcano erupting in Iceland that grounds all air traffic over Europe, demonstrating the power of God through natural forces to impinge on the scientific plans of mankind.
The Elite would like us to believe that science has all the answers. It doesn’t. We still need religion. God is telling us that a totally secular society would be a total disaster.
daniel, smoothchic – If Selena Gomez wants her career to continue after Disney then she will have to go the way of other Disney-chics like Britney Spears. Her career will go as far as she is willing to do “whatever it takes” like Rihanna. If she’s willing to dish out the porn then they will make her a superstar, if not then it’s the end of the road for her.

you dont see the irony of posting that under a post accusing this group of reducing everythign to a black/white everything is run by the elites?
oh and this idea that those are signs like the ‘bible days’ are so weak
they got pillars of moving fire, talking buring bushes, actually seeing the ass of god, mana from heaven, parted seas, multiplying food goods, water in to wine, people coming back from the dead, seas being parted, angels appearing to people, the firstborn spontaneously dying, rivers of blood
they got genuine unexplainable signs from god
we got a very exaplainable volcano
and a very explainable oil leak
explainable events that do not break the laws of the universe do not a sign from god make
unless you happen to have some bizarre black/white unfalsifiable world view cough cough
Interesting, can you expand on the link to the power structure above the 5 media conglomerates, who is involved and what is the link exactly between top media execs and “the elite”?
Here we go again… Beyonce has a new video out called Why don’t you love me and another alter ego?!
Guess what her name is… B. B. Homemaker lol
VC – I completed reading the article you wrote in 2009 about Rockefeller Center. Excellent!

I especially liked the table comparing Lucifer and Prometheus. It’s absolutely clear that Prometheus is Lucifer and vice versa. The discussion of the Atlas statue and the comparison to the Crucified Christ was new information for me. Since many of these gods/goddesses often get rolled up into one, I would suggest that Atlas is in some ways another manifestation of Lucifer-Prometheus.
You also tied together in this article Luciferianism and Transhumanism. To me this is the “whole package”. This is the ultimate goal of the Elite (or Illuminati) agenda. These statues were erected in the 1930s which is the same time that Aldous Huxley published Brave New World (1932). You can easily see how they complement each other. You can also see how it is not just the capitalist Rockefeller that was following this agenda, it was also the communist Stalin and the Fascist Hitler.
This is an atheistic, secular, scientific agenda to create what Nietzsche described in the 1800s as the übermensch or superman. At the time I think the plan was to achieve this through eugenics, but now that has shifted to transhumanism.
I think I should go there and take some pictures of my own.
That AXE thing was crazy! I’m going to be looking out for more things like that now. Excellent job again VC!! Also truly revealing knowing that all those select companies own the major artists. Which unfortunately means that the only agenda’s the artists can sing about, write about, and make videos about are the agenda’s of the company. And when the total mixing pot for ideas only goes about 5 companies deep, you don’t tend to get much variation. Quite sad.
Keep up the good work VC!!
