Beyoncé, Blackface and the Standard of Beauty

Check out this new commercial for L'Oréal's Double Extend Eye Illuminator featuring Monarch pop diva Beyoncé Knowles. Being a mascara commercial, of course there are a lot of all-seeing eye shots but paired with the word "illuminator" and you can get an idea why L'Oréal, the world's leading cosmetic company, is using Beyoncé as it's spokeswoman. Illumination is of course the ultimate goal of the elite, who control the world.

Just in time for the end of Black History Month, last week, images of Beyoncé Knowles from L'Officiel magazine stirred up some controversy over one particular picture where her face is cosmetically painted a much darker shade than her natural skin tone. Wasn't her beautiful skin dark enough for the photographer or makeup artist on set? The film and theater communities of the world are full of historical instances where Caucasian actors have had "blackface" for roles where they were supposed to portray African-Americans, which is why this particular photo shoot was questionable to some, who felt L'Officiel as well as Knowles should have been more empathetic to the sensitivity of such a potentially offensive idea.

Traditionally, a Caucasian actor would have his face covered in a layer of cocoa butter, then a thicker layer of burnt cork or black grease paint. They would then create an offensive stereotypical caricature of a black person for humor, not giving any thought to dehumanizing nature of their act. The practice was popular during the 19th century, propagating American racist stereotypes such as the "happy-go-lucky darky on the plantation" or the "dandified coon." This so-called art was popular for about 100 years, starting in the states in the 1830's and qickly making its way overseas. Thankfully, by the time of the civil rights movement in the 1960's, the practice was already less popularized by a decade.

Even Bert Williams, an African-American stage actor, the only black member of the Ziegfeld Follies (a series of elaborate theatrical productions on Broadway in New York City from 1907 through 1931), had to wear blackface during his performances, which shows just how humiliating the practice was really meant to be.

Modern day blackface has appeared on such comedy shows as "The Sarah Silverman Program" on Comedy Central and one of my favorite's, "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" on FX, attempting to bring humor by exposing the demeaning nature of the practice. The films "Ghost World" and Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" also portray the racist aspects of blackface.

This is a video montage of blackface from Spike Lee's "Bamboozled."

She looks just as confused as us. While I understand that she was heavily inspired by the late great Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, I can't comprehend why she or the fashion shoot director or photographer would think this was an appropriate homage to the musician, especially when Beyoncé is a music artist herself. Couldn't they have given her a saxophone or guitar pose with?

Fela Kuti was a talented multi-instrumentalist musician and composer as well as a pioneer of afrobeat music and a human rights activist and political maverick from Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. Fela helped popularize the mix of Jazz, Funk, psychedelic rock and traditional West-African chants and rhythms including the African tinkerpan percussion instrument. His band was notable for featuring two baritone saxophones, whereas most groups were using only one.

The leopard print fabric Beyoncé is seen wearing above has been pointed out numerous times on this and other blogs for being triggers for Beta/sex kitten slave alters of mind control slaves. While in this alter, the victim may assume an identity of not only a primal sexual alter ego, but that of an actual cat.

Until I started researching these themes myself in early 2009, I had to wonder why a woman in her late 20's and a mother of two would still be referring to her vagina as her "pussy." Makes more sense now. Britney Spears is wearing a costume inspired by the film "Metropolis," where the character Maria is taken by the elite "thinkers" and used to create a robot that looks like her in order to control the blind masses of "workers."

In Britney's latest video, "Hold It Against Me," she is surrounded again by her blind worshippers.

Beyoncé wore a similar robotic Maria costume while performing at the 2007 BET Awards.
Her belt even has several rows of gold pyramids.

Lady GaGa was photographed by David LaChapelle wearing a similar costume she wore in her "Paparazzi" video.

This is not the first controversy over the alteration of Beyoncé's skin. L'Oréal was accused of digitally lightening her skin tone in ads for their Féria brand hair dye in 2008.

The company denied digitally altering her skin tone for the ads.
As if she really dyes her hair at home, with a product out of the box from the drug store.
She probably spends more on her hair in a month than most women do in a year.

Beyoncé has a naturally light complexion and in certain light, it can appear even lighter with makeup.
She looks like GaGa--Madonna rather, in this image. We know how much the Illuminati love their slaves blonde.

The Illuminati programmers select their victims based on specific criteria which include sexual appeal (pedophilia is common so this applies to children as well as adolescents and young adults), ability to dissociate (female candidates have greater abilities since females have a higher tolerance for pain [i.e. enduring a traumatic, often provoked birth]), intelligence, creativity, natural talent (which can also be programmed) and of course bloodline. The preference is a Caucasian blond-haired blue-eyed child or toddler if one can be found. The standard of beauty has been programmed into Western civilization so much during the last two centuries but is actually almost as ancient as the programming methods (repetitive torture, rape, drugging) themselves, which were developed by the Ancient Egyptians.

Pharaoh Cleopatra VII (Κλεοπάτρα VII) and her siblings were inbred from Macedonian and Egyptian bloodlines genetically engineered to produce a fair skinned heirs to the Ptolemaic dynasty. Pharaohs were worshipped as gods since the Egyptians believed that the pharaohs were direct descendants of the gods who had walked the Earth and ruled Egypt in prehistoric times. The belief that fair skinned beings who had descended from the sky is not unique to the Egyptians but any Egyptologist/Egyptian Paleontologist will tell you that they have the best kept records of these gods who were living beings worshipped by ancient man.

Kim Kardashian, whom recently has twice now been portrayed as Cleopatra, is probably the closest modern depiction of the legendary queen, being of Armenian descent herself...as opposed to Elizabeth Taylor who played the role in the 1963 classic "Cleopatra" or Angelina Jolie, who is supposed to play her in the remake next year. Hell, Beyoncé would make a better Cleopatra than Jolie. Jolie is however, the current mark for the standard of beauty in Western civilization, often holding the title as "the world's most beautiful woman," although, I don't remember voting.

When butcher and all around douche-bag Christopher Columbus stumbled onto the New World, he and his equally douchey men were greeted by Native American tribes people who asked if they were gods. They only asked if they were because other light-skinned beings in ships were said to have descended from the sky, brought knowledge to the indigenous people, then left but promised to come back. After the native people were told that Columbus and his men were not the returning gods, they invited them to stay and wait for their returning gods, which they then told them about. Columbus took advantage of all the generosity and curiosity of all the Native American tribes throughout the New World. Not only did the Spanish bring new diseases, viruses and parasites with them, they too acted like a deadly virus that spread and killed hundreds of thousands of human beings.

In many Asian cultures, fair skinned and Western facial features are so coveted, the cosmetic industry surrounding skin lighteners is expected to cross the $2 billion mark by 2012, helping the total global skin lightener industry to become an estimated $15 Billion business by 2015.

Many of the original chemical agents that were being used to treat age spots, sun damage, uneven skin tone were being used (even abused) to lighten the skin overall but are now being questioned as to whether they are carcinogenic, or cancer causing. Many of the unnatural fragrances in skin care products are well known carcinogens. Hydroquinone, the active ingredient in most over the counter skin lighteners, has been linked by the Food and Drug Administration to the skin-disfiguring condition called ochronosis.

Dermatologists such as Dr. Susan Taylor have gone on record against the FDA's position on banning hydroquinone for being a carcinogen. Dr. Taylor, in 2006, said "Most reports have been from Africa after a prolonged period of daily use--sometimes 10 to 40 years--and in high concentrations. In this country, there have been maybe 200 cases out of millions of users. To me, that means it is a very infrequent problem." She also notes that there is has been no direct link from hydroquinone exposure to cancer in these users of the product. Dr. Susan Taylor is the director of Skin of Color Center in New York City and assistant professor of dermatology at Columbia University.

Skin lighteners have made headlines in celebrity culture thanks to Michael Jackson, during the 80's and 90's and more recently, in 2009, with baseball player Sammy Sosa. Michael said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," in February 1993, that he suffered from vitilogo--a rare skin condition where melatonin, the body's natural skin pigment, is no longer produced as much as normal. This condition made MJ's skin very uneven, which is why he reportedly had to use hydoquinone creams and even allegedly injected the drug directly into his scalp to achieve a more even skin tone. After the singer's death from "acute Propofol intoxication" in June 2009, the autopsy report confirmed that the singer had vitiligo.

Sammy Sosa surprised baseball fans when he showed up to the Latin Grammy's in November 2009 with extremely pale skin. He later denied rumors that he was suffering from vitiligo or that he was "bleaching" his skin. He told the press that his skin was lightened with an elective "rejuvenation process."

While many celebrities have come under scrutiny for allegedly lightening their skin, the trend of tanning to darken one's skin has gone relatively smoother. It's only when someone gets a little too orange with their spray tan that they are noticed. While spray tans are considered a safer option to tanning beds, which are known to lead to melanoma skin cancer, the most deadly type of skin cancer, they almost never give the natural look of real tans. Tanning is even known to lead to so-called tanning addiction, where people spend thousands of dollars a year on tanning and tanning products, despite the known risk of sun or ultraviolet ray damage.

While some Asian women are trying to lighten their skin, there are also those who are taking the fight against the standard of beauty to the extreme with the Japanese ganguro (literally translates as "black face") fashion trend. Young women sport deep tans with "high bleached" or orange hair, black ink eyeliner, white lipstick, metallic eyeshadow, false eyelashes and plastic or swarovski crystal facial gems. Ganguro fashion peaked in the year 2000.

Many products on the market labeled for skincare are full of preservatives and other harmful chemicals that eventually build up in the body as foreign toxins with continued use. Just as organic food is more expensive than processed food, organic skin care products are typically more expensive than what is found bombarding the shelves at local drug stores. One of the easiest ways to limiting the amount of exposure to said toxins is by finding products that meet your own personal standards of safety and health and eliminating the use of products that carry known contaminants.Besides insulation, temperature regulation and excretion, human skin plays an important role in what the body absorbs to other important organs. Any product you place on your skin is absorbed into your body and effects all of the other organs including your brain, heart, liver and kidneys. There are a number of essential oils (tea tree, lavendar, jojoba), herbal extracts (green tea, aloe vera, chamomille) and even fresh fruit and vegatables (lemon [juice], carrot [juice], cucumber) that you can replace man-made products with to keep your skin looking and feeling its healthiest.Too much of anything, whether it be water, salt, sugar or sun exposure can be bad for your skin. Dermatologists are doctors, so of course, they are going to push prescription medication on you before they tell you what organic remedies are best to use. I am no dermatologist but I've been to several to deal with acne issues as a teenager and none of them did anything except prescribe me chemical creams, antibiotics and even Accutane, which is known to damage the liver and has been discontinued by the FDA. It wasn't until only a few years ago that I realized that my diet had a lot to do with my breakouts...even though several doctors repeatedly told me that diet doesn't affect acne. I noticed that I broke out when I consumed a lot of sugar and salt. Processed foods contain a lot of both. If I knew then what I know now, I could've saved my parents a lot of money and myself a lot of time.

Even sunscreen has come under fire recently with the news that the zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in many sunscreen products can induce free radical formation in the presence of light and that this may damage these cells. Many dermatologists still say that the benefits of sunscreen outweight the potential negative effects of the spreading of cell damage caused by photo-mutagenicity with zinc oxide, especially for fairer skin people. Hats and a protective layer of cotton clothing can also greatly help against sun damage.As a Diné (Navajo) man with fair skin thanks to years of interaction between my people and the English, Spanish and Irish traders, I have dealt with my own issues with racism and prejudice because of the color of my skin. I've been called a "prairie nigger" by ignorant Caucasian kids at boarding school and "blanco pinche verga" (or something to that effect that was "fucking white dick" in English) by angry Mexican-American kids in public high school. When you're multiracial, you grow up not really sure where you belong. I imagine it can't be any easier when the false idols you look up to make the lines between what is and what is not appropriate even fainter by lightening their skin with chemicals and makeup or darkening it with man-made UV rays. All I know is that one day, with all of this great racial intermixing, we will likely end up the same color and all that really matters is that we are all the same color on the inside.

Skin is the human body's largest organ and it protects our other vital organs from invading solar rays, man-made pollutants and even other entities like viruses. Skin is not meant to be abused as a reason for segregation or as an excuse for hatred that has lead to genocide on more than one occasion on human history. Skin is a gift. Reading the active and inactive ingredients on a bottle of moisturizer or other skincare product could go a long way. We know the evil powers that rule the world have put fluoride in our water and chemicals in our food to shorten our lifespan and deteriorate our health. Opting for a more natural solution for skin and hair care is a small step in a great journey to a better life for not only you, but the people you care about.

Is Xtina in Trouble?

Us Weekly, one of the more believable celebrity rag magazines, is reporting that MK'd singer and actress Christina Aguilera's drinking is "out of control," according to friends close to the starlet. Her lyrical glitch of the National Anthem at the Superbowl a few weeks ago and her stumble at the end of the Aretha Franklin tribute at the Grammy's recently are now being blamed on the singer's alleged boozing. Aguilera is reported to have also gotten into a fight with "Burlesque" co-star and Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend Julianne Hough at a Golden Globes party. Back in January, she was reported to have climbed into and passed out in Jeremy Renner's bed at an industry party in that she was never even invited to.

Renner told friends, after seeing Aguilera at the Golden Globes, that he found Christina drunk and asleep in his bed, at his 40th birthday party January 16th. Matthew Rutler, Aguilera's new boyfriend (handler) was rubbing her back as she was slurring her words, telling her to go back to sleep when Renner confronted the two, after being told that she was in his bed. You can read more about the event at Cele|bitchy. Images courtesy of Wenn.

In October, Christina split from her husband of five years, music producer Jordan Bratman. The two share custody of their two year old son, Max. In the picture above, Max is wearing sunglasses to cover the bruising around his eyes. Bratman is wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt and Aguilera was of course a Mouseketter along with other mind control slaves Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake (whom Aguilera has toured with), JC Chasez and actor Ryan Gosling.

Another shot of Bratman possibly reinforcing his wife's Disney programming, at Disneyland.
The pentagram on the front of his shirt could also reinforce her occult ritual abuse.

Max was photographed back on August 8, 2009 sporting a black eye. Children hurt themselves all the time. When I was one or two, I fell down the stairs. The only reason I bring this up is because last year, images of a bruised up Aguilera surfaced, from around the time of her "Not Myself Tonight" music video shoot. Mind control slaves and their children are heavily traumatized into states of dissociation as part of their programming. If Max is being abused, Christina might not even be aware of it if she herself is in an altered state. Image courtesy of Just Jared.

Aguilera appears to be in a dissociative state, as if the images are being taken by a handler.

The sexual nature of the images, along with the leopard print carpet and Marilyn Monroe nude calendar suggest she may be in her Beta/sex kitten alter.

In this shot, images of other MK'd sex slaves, including Kate Moss, from this article, are visible.

The title "Not Myself Tonight" takes on new meaning. If Christina is not herself, then who is she? Which alter?
Norma Jean Baker, before becoming Marilyn Monroe, photographed nude behind Aguilera.

Look at all those pretty shoes...notice all the red ones?
Wizard of Oz programming for every occasion.

She doesn't look into the camera in any of the pictures, as if not effected at all.

Her apparent state of mind reminds me of this creepy video of Bill Clinton, in a dissociative state.

Here, Clinton apologizes for the C.I.A.'s inhumane MK ULTRA experiments, which include Project Artichoke, Project Monarch and Project Blue Bird. He acts as if the disgusting programming has ceased but obviously, it's still occurring. If Christina doesn't get her shit together, what's to keep her handlers from sending her to "rehab" for more programming, as was the case in 2007, for Britney and more recently, Lindsay Lohan and Demi Lavato, whom were also Disney darlings.

the Best of Ladytron

Ladytron has to be one of my favorite bands. They helped define the current sonic assault of electropop/clash by the likes of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Ke$ha, Lady GaGa, Ladyhawke, La Roux, Little Boots, Crystal Castles and Rihanna. While they do maintain a cult following around the world and they have achieved moderate mainstream success, they are still one of those overlooked genius acts you almost enjoy having all to yourself--as if being a fan were some cool, yet totally unpretentious, club. The band recently released the cover image above for their first greatest hits compilation, The Best of Ladytron: 00-10. The two disc collection of their finest features fan favorites "Destroy Everything You Touch," "Seventeen" and "Play Girl" plus their new single "Ace of Hz (Hearts)." Surprisingly, "He Took Her to a Movie" was left out.The album cover features lead vocalists and keyboard players Mira Aroyo and Helen Marnie. Mira is in a blue light, with her right eye covered by darkness and Helen is in a purple light. Mira's left eye is clearly symbolic of the Eye of Providence but the fact that there are three eyes visible altogther, could mean her left eye is also symbolic of the pineal gland, the so-called "third eye" that was so important to the ancient mystics and occultists.

The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. It produces the serotonin derivative melatonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and seasonal functions. It is also believed by many, including Dr. Rick Strassman, author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule, to produce the natural psychedelic drug N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which is believed to play an important role in dreaming, out of body and near death experiences and even psychotic episodes like schizophrenia. DMT is found in many plants as well as other mammals and non-mammal animals. DMT is also the primary psychoactive in ayahuasca, the well-known Amazonian Amerindian brew employed for divinatory and healing purposes. Ayahuasca is a combination of DMT plant material with a natural MAOI, an enzyme inhibitor that allows DMT to be orally active. Without the MAOI, DMT does has no effect orally and is quickly metabolized.

René Descartes believed the pineal was the "seat of the soul" as the gland sits between both halves of the brain and is the only part of the brain (other than the stem) without an equal half. Dr. Strassman believes that because the pineal gland begins to develop inside a fetus at the same time that said fetus' sex is physiologically determined, the pineal gland just as important to humans as one's gender. He also believes that the instant the pineal gland begins to develops in the fetus, the fetus is considered human with a soul. Dr. Stassman points out that the pineal gland is actually not part of the brain, as it begins inside the mouth of the fetus, then moves up into the front part of the brain, where it is safest.

It is a well documented fact that fluoride, which is artificially put into our drinking water, calcifies our pineal glands, which is visible during x-rays of human skulls. What the ancients once documented as being the size of our eyes, the pineal gland is nothing more today than the size of a pea. The government maintains that fluoride is put into our water to benefit our teeth but we know now that too much fluoride is actually negatively effecting our teeth. So the question is, what is the real reason they are still pumping us full of fluoride, which can become toxic if we receive too much of it. Are the powers that be purposely calcifying our pineal glands to stop our dreaming and to literally imprison our spirits?

Ladytron has made use of signature occult colors red, black and white throughout their career.

The Liverpool band's distinct vintage analogue synthesizers have defined their work early on when they formed in the summer of 1999 but evolved with each album. They took sounds that were two decades old and still managed to make futuristic, catchy pop melodies that did not sound aged at all. With the obvious exception of Aguilera, whom they helped produce the commercial failure that was {Bi~On~Ic}, they haven't received much credit for their influential style.

Christina Aguilera isn't safe from the All-Seeing Eye or transhumanist imagery exploited by her peers.

Ladytron members Reuben Wu and Daniel Hunt flew to Los Angeles in early 2009 to meet with Aguilera, who was a fan of the band. Wu said, "We went in with no expectations; the whole thing was a massive surprise. But it was incredible. She was so musically talented, a vocalist who really knows her voice. The first takes sounded really amazing, and while we'd made demos, it was only when her voice was on them that it all came to life. It's nice to talk about them, we've been sitting on this for a while." The band finished the collaboration with Aguilera in May 2009 and initially three out of five tracks they worked on were supposed to make it to the album but only the song "Birds of Prey" appeared on the deluxe version of the album, while "Little Dreamer" was an iTunes Special Edition exclusive track.

Despite the collective of brilliant artists and producers working on the project, the reviews were mixed and {Bi~On~Ic} was not as commercially successful compared to her previous efforts. While Aguilera's voice was praised for being strong and still impressive, critics and fans unfavorably compared Aguilera's electro-makeover to Lady GaGa, at the same time slamming her hypersexuality.

Ladytron is named after the 1972 Roxy Music song "Ladytron," written by Brian Ferry. The lyrics tell the story of Ferry, a Casanova-style seducer of women, being enraptured by the robotic or possibly android female love interest of Ferry. Part of the lyrics say, "I'll use you and I'll confuse you and then I'll lose you." The Times calls "Ladytron" one of Roxy Music's "best loved songs." The track is second on Roxy Music's self-titled album with the first being, "Re-Make/Re-Model," also about chasing after a robotic woman. In the early 70's, I'm sure the idea of a man pining for the affection of a female android came off as fun or humorous, but today, the idea has taken on a darker meaning altogether.

For starters, the transhumanist agenda has really taken off in the music industry (or did you not notice Christina Aguilera's {Bi~On~Ic} cover art?). Transhumanism is an international intellectual and cultural movement that supports the possibility and desirability of transforming the human condition by developing technological endeavors to eliminate aging and death, at the same time greatly enhancing human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. While this may sound like a positive evolutionary prospect to some, to others (including myself), the elitist agenda seen in today's mainstream media appears to be enforcing the opportunity to permanently separate man from nature by replacing humanity with technology.

The term "tranhumanism" is usually symbolized by H+ or h+, which is often a synonym for human enhancement. The term "posthumanism" is also used as many transhumanist thinkers predict that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with greatly expanded abilities beyond current human nature. Francis Fukuyama, professor of International Political Economy at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, author of Our Posthuman Future: Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution, and a member of the President's Council on Bioethics, believes transhumanism is the world's most dangerous idea. In his Foreign Policy article, Fukuyama identifies transhumanism as "a strange liberation movement" that wants "nothing less than to liberate the human race from its biological constraints."

Fukuyama's detractors and proponents of transhumanism point out that man's "natural state," as hunter and gatherer, was liberated when man discovered and manipulated fire to cook meat, keep warm and keep predatory animals away. One of the points advocates of transhumanism rarely acknowledge is that when this technology does become available, like most newly developed technological advances such as the personal computer and cellular telephone, [at first] it will only be available to those who can afford it; likely the elite. While the average, working class man is expected to live 50 to 70 years eating chemically altered food and drinking fluoridated water, the elite work towards immortality through science out of reach to the average man. The elite know that the transhumanist technology advances will not be available for the masses but they still bombard pop culture with its imagery, making it trendy and cool, making it something to work towards. It is human nature, after all, to want what you can't have.

Beyoncé, the Black Eyed Peas, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Daft Punk, Lady GaGa and Kylie Minogue are just a few mainstream artists who have exploited the transhumanist agenda along side negative occult symbolism. With millions of fans blindly emulating their favorite false idols, there is a very real chance that transhumanism will one day be a common goal for our generation and not just a science fiction conspiracy theory. At the Super Bowl, a few weeks ago, the Black Eyed Peas performed the half-time show continuing their transhumanist propaganda for millions of people to become desensitized to and eventually accept.

Just as the television, VCR, DVD player, personal computer, internet and the smart phone have all made sex easily accessible 24/7, the transhumanist technology available today is being exploited for the instant gratification of man. Meet Aiko, the woman of tomorrow. Who needs a real woman when you can purchase and program a robot to do whatever you want her to do? Men are already purchasing mannequins to have sex with, so [un]naturally, the next step up is the robotic woman. Project Aiko began on August 15, 2007 when inventor Le Trung decided he wanted to build the "perfect woman." Trung used credit cards and his life savings to create the first version of Aiko. She can currently speak English and Japanese, do mild chores and she has all human senses except for smell (and intuition--which is distinctly human). Trung is currently working on version 2 and is accepting donations at his website. Trung says he treats Aiko like a lady and has programmed her to slap you if she is squeezed too hard or if someone touches her chest she says, "I do not like it when you touch my breasts!"

This less fortunate looking couple are Douglas Hines and Roxxxy. Roxxxy is a slut...and a cheap one at that. Unlike Aiko, Roxxxy likes to be touched and is not programmed to act like a lady. For $7000, you can have sex with her "as long as you want, until her battery runs out." Hines says, "She doesn't vacuum or cook, but she does almost everything else." Hines even programmed Roxxxy to have multiple personality disorder--that is, she has five distinct personalities including Frigid Farrah and Wild Wendy. Basically, all of this sick shit is just more programming for those of us with penises. The powers that be want us to want quiet, submissive, plastic women with open orifices and several alter egos. Hines says Roxxxy is his "life's work." He looks so proud of himself.I wish I had their vintage analog synthesizer collection. If you're interested, I'll tell you where you can download the digital Korg MS-20 plug-in I use. Email me for link. Mira (left) loves her MS-20.

As above, so below.

While the band has used the signature occult color template of red, black and white, they adopted the dualism/duality black and white linear pattern with their latest album, "Velocifero," which means "bringer of speed" in Latin. The term is not far off from Lucifero or Luxfero which means, "bringer of light." Lucifer is Latin for "light bearer." Lucifer, the fallen angel whom once attempted to ascend higher than the Creator, has always been associated with the torch, symbolic of bringing and passing (the torch) wisdom, illumination and enlightenment to man. This belief has given a reason for the Illuminati and Freemasons to worship Lucifer, whom they actually believe to be a different entity than Satan.

The concepts of duality (while not negative itself, unless purposely perverted with negative symbolism), multiple personalities and alter egos are all-too-common themes explored continuously throughout the site. Just as the Eye of Providence is heavily exploited by the music industry, to the point of being repetitive, these themes are worth pointing out to show that there is an agenda of desensitization and manipulation going on behind the scenes.

In Ladytron's video for "Runaway," the duality is the most obvious theme throughout.

In Freemasonry, the black and white checkerboard and linear patterns are also representative of the diversity of all creation under the Great Architect--Lucifer. When Masons refer and to "God," they are not speaking of the true creator, but of Lucifer. Most of the lower ranking initiates and apprentices are lied to by their higher ranking brothers about whom they worship. By the time a Mason gets to know the truth, he's usually in too deep to get out. He realizes that all of the rituals and obligations were done, not for the Creator, but for Lucifer. Another false idol Masons notoriously worship is the Baphomet.

I know, it's not a goat, but it is still representative of the Baphomet.

Baphomet and his all-seeing eye make a disturbing cameo in Ladytron's "Evil" video. Fitting, no?

While I have mentioned what occultist Eliphas Levi called the "Sabbatic Goat" numerous times in previous articles, I have never really detailed his blasphemous origins. While Levi claims the Baphomet is actually the depiction of the Greek god Pan, it seems his roots are linked to numerous false idols. The Freemasons deny that they worship him yet he makes numerous appearances in pop culture and is still an important figure in Satanism, suggesting his true identity as a demon entity or possibly Satan himself. The Baphomet is first mentioned in a late 12th century Provençal poem as a corruption of "Muhammad," although the image of Satan, as a half man, half goat is seen in ancient texts as early as the 10th century, in pagan Satan worship. Part of the legend surrounding the famed Ancient Ram's Inn, in Wotton-Under-Edge, England involves pagan children sacrifices to Satan. The pagan worshippers would sacrifice children and in return, recieve gifts from Satan, such as talisman iron goatshoes.

These stories of children sacrifices sound eerily familiar to the Biblical accounts of Israelite and Phoenician pagans who would give child offerings to Molech/Moloch, the horned bull idol, which is possbily where the Baphomet originated. Before YHWH condemned the use of the hexagram and idol worship, Israelites would heat up the inside of the idol until it's hands were red hot and then place a child or baby in it's hands and watch as it was burned to death.

This disturbing ritual sacrifice still takes place every July 17th (going into the 18th) at Bohemian Grove in the ancient redwood forest of Monte Rio, California, by the elitist members of San Francisco's Bohemian Club. During the Cremation of Care, as it is known, Bohemian Club members give Molech, depicted as the horned owl, what is today a mock child sacrifice but was once a real child sacrifice.

This picture from 1909 shows the ritual sacrifice of an African-American adolescent.

You have to wonder how someone like Jay-Z could be a Freemason when many of these men are so racist.

A caucasian man is hung in this picture from the same year.

President Ronald Reagan, Harvey Hancock and President Richard "Dick" Nixon were all BC members.
Nixon famously called the Grove, "the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine."
Yet, he continued to go almost every year from 1953 to 1974.

Nixon was a notorious bigot. He hated Jewish people, homosexual people and Chinese people.

President J. Edgar Hoover must've looked forward to this trip every year.
No wonder this club was strictly dickly...

The guest list from 2008.

The Cremation of Care ritual is every July 17th and Ladytron has a hit song called "Seventeen."
Of course I am not implying that they made a song based on the date, I'm just syncing it where I can.

Human skulls are often symbolic of death.
Way to sexualize death, Mira.

Mirrors too are used in occult rituals as they are often seen as gateways to spirit dimensions/frequencies.

Butterflies, denoting Monarch programming is a rare but still visible theme with the band (Helen's necklace).
Even rarer, pyramids (Daniel's shirt) make appearances.

This flyer from their Halloween 2009 show at the El Rey Theatre in L.A. was likely not even designed by the band but it still contains negative programming imagery including the butterfly, the skull, the Baphomet, horns, dissociating psychedelic colors and the all-seeing eye.

The Eye of Providence appears again with Helen.

Mira and Reuben.

Finally, once more with Mira.

Ladytron's latest single, "Ace of Hz" features the image of a female doll inside of a box. Mannequins, dolls and puppets are often used as dehumanizing references to artists who are being manipulated by handlers. Being one of the more influential pop artists doesn't mean Reuben, Daniel, Helen and Mira don't have to answer to a higher power. From the imagery the band uses, let's just hope that higher power is not a programmer. The Best of Ladytron: 00-10 comes out March 29th, from Nettwerk Records.
