Music: Spiritual Effects of Rock/Metal Music

[Derek]

Take for exapmle one artist, Jay z.

He wears a masonic ring
He sings lyrics such as "illuminati got my mind, soul body" "I keep one eye open like cbs" and many many more
His record label is rockafella records
His clothing line (rocawear) features shirts loaded with masonic and all seeing eye symbolism
His music videos are full of symbolism (I remember one where rich men in suits were sitting around smoking cigars planning something and it cut to people rioting under the pyramid all seeing eye symbol eventually leading to a woman shouting from a helicopter "welcome to the new world order! you are now under martial law!")

I have no idea who jay z is (is that a rapper?) but I'd say that, most likely, it's just a gimmick he's latched onto, for shock value.

Back in the 70s, my mom thought Black Sabbath was satanic.

You can do this with just about every artist out there now. I once read something by David Wilcock where he explained that since the late 70s music has more and more revolved around this social engineering and this is why it got so dark since then.

I would have to respectfully but emphatically disagree with David Wilcock on this. I've been very intensely into music since 1972. I've followed bands very closely and have even met quite a few of them. Guess what I learned? They're just people.

The pop bands, sure, they might be victims of some sort of manipulation by the industry. That I can see, since they are artificially propped up anyway. They don't write their own music. But the true artists are...artists! They're just making music and expressing themselves.

Although I do agree that there is a lot of behind-the-scenes manipulation in the mainstream pop music scene, I think it would be a disservice to musicians to assume that all are manipulated. The music of the 60s and 70s was absolutely authentic! I was there. Those bands were real. The musicians had passion! And there has continued to be lots of authentic musicians since then as well, who are doing what they love, creating from the heart.

Hi there, I absolutely agree that the music of the 60s and 70s was authentic. These social engineering programs started to take place in the 70s but didn't fully take hold till the 80s. At this point probably 70% of all media is used for these purposes. Invariably most music today is dark and focuses on lower chakra urges and materialism, superficiality etc.

Jay z is one of the most popular people in music today. Most of his audience has no idea or cares about the Illuminati. Almost all bands today glorify illuminati/masonic symbolism, mind control symbolism, etc etc.

Here is an interesting article to read. Keep in mind it is literally one of hundreds and hundreds of songs that do this

To further illustrate my point I'd like to point out that all forms of media are being used for brainwashing. Here is an excellent article written by David Wilcock (under the name art aqua) back around 2005.

This is a great synopsis of the current music industry, http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=6044

I want to say that I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable, I just think it's important to know these things so you can remove yourself from the vast amount of programming.
