ederal agents say that they found evidence of marijuana and cocaine, as well as clippers and scissors during a raid on the compound of the Amish beard-cutting suspects, now charged with hate crimes.

In a bail hearing on Wednesday, prosecutors reportedly introduced video evidence that included evidence of drug use, sex and the information related to the attacks.

Last week, federal officials conducted a raid on a compound of leader Sam Mullet’s breakaway Bergholz Clan in Ohio, arresting Mullet and six others. All seven were charged with violating the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, and are accused of breaking into the homes of mainstream Amish, and cutting off their hair and beards. In the Amish community, the beard is a symbol of faith.

In the hearing, officials accused Sam Mullet of orchestrating the attacks. ONN TV and WTOV9 report that in the hearing, the lead FBI agent on the case told the court that during the raid, they found Mullet in a bedroom with the wife of one of his fellow defendants doing ‘sexual counseling.” Agents also reportedly found scissors and clippers, and marijuana seeds and cocaine in a barn on the compound.

Another one of the defendants, Emanuel Schrock, barricaded himself in a room with a child when agents attempted to arrest him, according to the agent.

Sam Mullet, his two sons and Schrock were all denied bail in the hearing. ”I consider these violent acts,” said Magistrate Judge George Limbert. ”They are a danger to the Amish community. I don’t consider them a threat outside the Amish community.”

”It appears to me that Sam Mullet has absolute control of the community,” Limbert added, the Warren Tribune Chronicle reports.

The other three arrested in the raid will appear before a judge on Friday.

hehehe. check out those fucking beards. I think I got acid off these dudes once…

All local news networks stop coverage of #occupyLA at the same to show informercials for wrinkle cream #collusion@MYFOXLA

All of the news channels stopped their coverage on #OccupyLA wtf am I gonna watch now –__–

Uh, oh. Watch out #OccupyLA folks! Last of local TV cvrge just signed off. Unpaid citizen journos still streaming:

Anyway, there are several reports from twitter & the live stream that said that cops in biohazard gear have started swabbing protesters…what the fuck for? And is what they’re doing illegal?

Beginning on January 1, 2009, all adults arrested for any felony offense must provide a buccal swab (inner cheek scraping) DNA sample, and thumb and palm print impressions for the State of California’s DNA (CAL-DNA) Data Bank Program (Penal Code section 296(a)(2)©). This expands 2008 CAL-DNA Data Bank law provisions governing collection of DNA samples from arrestees. The 2008 law requires adults arrested for a felony Penal Code section 290 registerable sex offense, murder, or voluntary manslaughter (including attempts of these crimes) to provide samples for the CAL-DNA Data Bank (Penal Code section 296(a)(2)(A) and (B)).
The following sets forth information pertinent to the January 1, 2009, expansion of CAL-DNA Data Bank Program providing for DNA identification sample collection from all adult felony arrestees:

This is a gross violation of rights. We will not be silenced nor will our movement(s) be squelched. You gave us our petty illusions that we are a free and democratic country and now you have to deal with us realizing these values.

I’ll update this as I find anything out, if at all.

Oops. Too late...

A well-known Washington lobbying firm with links to the financial industry has proposed an $850,000 plan to take on Occupy Wall Street and politicians who might express sympathy for the protests, according to a memo obtained by the MSNBC program “Up w/ Chris Hayes.”

The proposal was written on the letterhead of the lobbying firm Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford and addressed to one of CLGC’s clients, the American Bankers Association.

CLGC’s memo proposes that the ABA pay CLGC $850,000 to conduct “opposition research” on Occupy Wall Street in order to construct “negative narratives” about the protests and allied politicians. The memo also asserts that Democratic victories in 2012 would be detrimental for Wall Street and targets specific races in which it says Wall Street would benefit by electing Republicans instead.

According to the memo, if Democrats embrace OWS, “This would mean more than just short-term political discomfort for Wall Street. … It has the potential to have very long-lasting political, policy and financial impacts on the companies in the center of the bullseye.”

The memo also suggests that Democratic victories in 2012 should not be the ABA’s biggest concern. “… (T)he bigger concern,” the memo says, “should be that Republicans will no longer defend Wall Street companies.”

Two of the memo’s authors, partners Sam Geduldig and Jay Cranford, previously worked for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Geduldig joined CLGC before Boehner became speaker; Cranford joined CLGC this year after serving as the speaker’s assistant for policy. A third partner, Steve Clark, is reportedly “tight” with Boehner, according to a story by Roll Call that CLGC features on its website.

Jeff Sigmund, an ABA spokesperson, confirmed that the association got the memo. “Our Government Relations staff did receive the proposal – it was unsolicited and we chose not to act on it in any way,” he said in a statement to “Up.”

CLGC did not return calls seeking comment.

Boehner spokesman Michael Steel declined to comment on the memo. But he responded to its characterization of Republicans as defenders of Wall Street by saying, “My understanding is that President Obama is the single largest recipient of donations from Wall Street.”

On “Up” Saturday, Obama campaign adviser Anita Dunn responded by saying that the majority of the president’s re-election campaign is fueled by small donors. She rejected the suggestion that the president himself is too close to Wall Street, saying “If that’s the case, why were tough financial reforms passed over party line Republican opposition?”

The CLGC memo raises another issue that it says should be of concern to the financial industry — that OWS might find common cause with the Tea Party. “Well-known Wall Street companies stand at the nexus of where OWS protestors and the Tea Party overlap on angered populism,” the memo says. “…This combination has the potential to be explosive later in the year when media reports cover the next round of bonuses and contrast it with stories of millions of Americans making do with less this holiday season.”

The memo outlines a 60-day plan to conduct surveys and research on OWS and its supporters so that Wall Street companies will be prepared to conduct a media campaign in response to OWS. Wall Street companies “likely will not be the best spokespeople for their own cause,” according to the memo. “A big challenge is to demonstrate that these companies still have political strength and that making them a political target will carry a severe political cost.”

Part of the plan CLGC proposes is to do “statewide surveys in at least eight states that are shaping up to be the most important of the 2012 cycle.”

Specific races listed in the memo are U.S. Senate races in Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Mexico and Nevada as well as the gubernatorial race in North Carolina.

The memo indicates that CLGC would research who has contributed financial backing to OWS, noting that, “Media reports have speculated about associations with George Soros and others.”

“It will be vital,” the memo says, “to understand who is funding it and what their backgrounds and motives are. If we can show that they have the same cynical motivation as a political opponent it will undermine their credibility in a profound way.”

In older, and unrelated news, Colbert is  member of the Illuminati, thanks to a few beautiful Discordians. This bodes well for the Illuminati.

Also, sick beatz, d00d. No really, check it out. Immortal Technique has also come out with some OWS related stuff. but I’ll let you find that yourself.

It’s quite unusual for big artists to even mention BitTorrent, but Lady Gaga doesn’t mind requesting a torrent.

Earlier today she asked her fans to send a torrent (or YouTube) link of the Top Chef Just Desserts finale.

Apparently Lady Gaga knows a thing or two about BitTorrent. But does this also means she’s okay with fans pirating her music?

One thing’s for sure, the RIAA disagrees.

(Reuters) — A Tibetan Buddhist monk doused himself in fuel and set himself ablaze in far western China on Tuesday, the tenth ethnic Tibetan this year to resort to the extreme form of protest, an overseas advocacy group said.

The Free Tibet group said the latest self-immolation happened outside a monastery in Ganzi in Sichuan province, about 150 km (95 miles) south of Aba, the site of eight of the last nine self-immolations since March to protest against religious controls imposed by the Chinese government.

In a statement emailed late on Tuesday, Free Tibet said it had no information about the monk’s name, whereabouts, or whether he survived the incident.

Nor did it specify its sources.

Government officials, police and workers at several hotels in Ganzi, called Kandze by Tibetans, told Reuters they did not know about the reported self-immolation.

“I don’t know about this, and even if I did, I couldn’t be loose-lipped,” said an official in the Ganzi county office.

Most people in Ganzi and neighboring Aba are ethnic Tibetan herders and farmers, and many see themselves as members of a wider Tibetan region encompassing the official Tibetan Autonomous Region and other areas across the vast highlands of China’s west.

The string of self-immolations, at least five of them fatal, “represents a wider rejection of China’s occupation of Tibet,” said Stephanie Brigden, the director of Free Tibet, which campaigns for self-rule for the region.

The group reported “significantly increased numbers of security personnel including in Tibet’s capital, Lhasa, hundreds of kilometers away from where the self-immolations have taken place.”

For the Chinese government, the protests are a small but destabilizing challenge to its regional policies, which it says have lifted Tibetans out of poverty and servitude.

China has ruled what it calls the Tibet Autonomous Region since Communist troops marched in 1950. It rejects criticisms of rights groups and exiled Tibetans and has condemned the self-immolations as destructive and immoral.

“Encouraging some people to use this kind of extreme and cruel means to injure themselves is a type of violent terrorist act,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular news briefing.

Jiang did not confirm the latest incident but said the protests were out of sync with the wishes of people in the region.

“I think a few individuals inciting a few ignorant people to violate the law and damage local social stability cannot represent the broader desires of the local people,” she said.

In March 2008, protests and deadly riots against the Chinese presence spread across Tibetan regions, triggering sometimes deadly confrontations with troops and police.

Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, who China condemns as a supporter of violent separatism for his homeland, last week led hundreds of maroon-robed monks, nuns and lay Tibetans in prayer to mourn those who have burned themselves to death or been imprisoned.

The Dalai Lama denies advocating violence and insists he wants only real autonomy for his homeland, from which he fled in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule.

But the Chinese Foreign Ministry has said the Dalai Lama should take the blame for the burnings, and repeated Beijing’s line that Tibetans are free to practice their Buddhist faith.

Horrible stuff. I blame you.

That was from this article, and here are a few interesting quotes taken from it:

Dr. Alan Blum, former editor of the Medical Journal of Australia and the New York State Journal of Medicine, agreed: “This whole popularization and commercialization of peer-reviewed medical journals is sickening. There are very few truly independent publications left – that is something that I think the public doesn’t understand.”

The proliferation of “herd journals” and the distracting influences of popular news media have diluted the integrity of science research and publishing, Blum said.

Dr. Jerome Kassirer, editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine from 1991 to 1999, said the purpose of a medical journal is “to provide information to doctors. Period.”

“There is a tendency for medical editors to want their papers to be published in the New York Times,” Kassirer said. “We never had that as a consideration – I never cared. I never paid attention to whether there were ads or not.”

He acknowledged that medical journals have “evolved enormously” in the past decade or so. “The major problem is it’s becoming more and more difficult to support them. Circulation has dropped.” 

While former editors were eager to raise awareness about the troubling trends, the current editors of some of the major medical journals – including the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association and The Lancet – declined to comment.

A spokeswoman for JAMA, however, referenced a 2008 editorial on the adverse effects of industry influence: “The profession of medicine, in every aspect—clinical, education, and research—has been inundated with profound influence from the pharmaceutical and medical device industries,” the JAMA editorial began.

The experts and data paint a compelling picture of the vulnerable state of science. The combination of two phenomena – the increasingly powerful financial influences such as pharmaceutical companies and the struggling business of science journals – has coalesced to create a perfect storm.

Opportunity for exploitation and manipulation thrives, experts said. Poorly funded scientific researchers under pressure to publish may fudge a bit of data to keep their study afloat. Similarly, medical journals trying to navigate a more competitive media landscape may lower their standards and yield to the influence of money.

“We might be putting too much faith in medical journals,” Blum said.

 

.…

 

Kassirer said authors generally retract their own papers. “It takes a lot to retract a paper, because it’s the author’s paper,” he said. “It’s hard to identify fraud, and the editor can’t be a detective. I always believed that when I get data from an author it’s true, it’s been scientifically tested.”

The retraction came less than a week after the General Medical Council concluded its damning investigation of the study, which began in 2007 and was the longest in the council’s history. The investigation identified several financial and scientific conflicts of interest.

“[Wakefield’s] interpretation could’ve been strongly influenced by money,” Kassirer said. “Money is a powerful stimulus.”

I expect I might update this post with far more information as this is a huge subject that is not looked at nearly enough. The faith that people have in modern medicine & science is somewhat sickening, especially for someone that has a passion & interest in it. It’s almost like finding out that not only is Santa Claus not real, but that you have to return all you presents because of this. WTF mate.

The idea first hit me when reading an article about the global drug trade; the person being interviewed (“Daurius Figueira is a social researcher who has spent the last 20 years investigating the illicit drug trade”) was extremely sure of his opinion that the world is not ruled by reptilians but actually by drug lords. This will likely come as a shock to most of you, as I know it did for me, but at least with actual people the threat is a tad more real and thus harbors a chance of confrontation. It may be impossible to guess the motivations of an alien species that’s hell bent on domination of the human race, but human on human warfare is old as sin and as easy to understand: greed & power.

Just because you have money and power, though, does not mean that you are invincible. Nor is your empire immune to all the faults of the great empires: hubris, decadence, and corruption. Like a very expensive and high-stakes game of Jenga, I am calling upon the forces of Discord to kick Operation MindFuck into high gear and knock their tower down. This would completely shake up the political scene, and it’s all so convoluted there’s no real way of telling how it would end, just that something would change.

“So what the hell are you talking about?” I’m sure you’re asking yourself right now. Let’s take a look…

What’s the latest on the drug scene?

I don’t talk about the drug trade anymore. I talk to the drug trade.

So you are saying that the world is controlled by 12 men who are not lizards from another planet, but drug lords? [This is in reference to David Icke’s theory that the world is controlled by a global elite of reptilian humanoids.]

Yes. Mmmmm. [He nods his head vigorously, smiling.]

And governments are mere pawns?

The greatest allies of these people is geopolitics. Because geopolitics takes preference over the war on drugs.

All of this is, so far, being taken from this article.

How is the global recession going to affect the local drug trade?

The recession does not affect the major trade because the trade continues. Remember the trade deals in demand and supply that is external to us. And the trade has a whole social order that it constructs, and the social order is endemically violent. So that is why you have people talking this ’legalise it’ ole talk, under the premise that if you legalize it you will end the violence. But I have news for them-Ent alcohol and cigarettes are legal? So why then two of the commodities that organized crime smuggles are cigarettes and alcohol? Because from the time you have high excise tax on cigarettes and alcohol, they [organized crime bosses] smuggle them from low-taxation areas to high-taxation areas to make a killing. So what guarantee you have, that when you tell me, legalize it, the violence will done?

You have no guarantees. What happens is that you place the State in a position that every single illicit drug that is invented, you have to keep legalising it as it is invented. Because the drug dealers want super-profits, and when it is illegal, they make more profit. So they will keep inventing new ones. And they invented crack heroin?

…You have to understand, the oligarchs who dominate the trade also dominate the politics and they’re already maximizing profits. The problem is they don’t want to share. And the next thing you have to understand is that the oligarchs in the Caribbean are not Africans. So they have a race agenda. Because they want to ensure their domination of societies in which Africans are the majority

Now, let’s for a moment assume everything that man said is true…I’m not saying it is, but he has spent an awfully long time investigating such things. Well, it’s fairly apparent that legalizing isn’t necessarily a cure-all for the social & political ills of the global drug trade. Furthermore, there’s no way that the demand for such substances will ever disappear in the near future; there is a far better chance that the middle east will turn into a gigantic music festival full of peaceful hippies smoking grass.

What can be done to disrupt the control of power in the world? This is a serious question that some people, seemingly ordinary people, mull over in their minds all night long. Silly demonstrations such as voting, protests, riots, and revolutions were discarded for far too ineffective long ago. What’s left?

Well, as far as the drug trade goes, the weakest point is that people really do not want the drug in itself; there’s nothing special about heroin or cocaine if something better than heroin or cocaine comes around, showing some leg. If you can deliver a quality product that is as strong/stronger, safer, cheaper, or easier to obtain…then the only way you could fail is due to some horrible act by the police or your competitors (often times they are in cahoots). Things could easily get hairy, which is why the first act of your new global drug empire should be to invest heavily in Artificial Intelligence technology and robotize as much of your cohorts as possible. Programmed lips tell no secrets.

Okay, but no, really: the heroin trade is huge. Huge. It’s taking Russia by storm, it’s making a come back in the USA, and apparently it’s all over Europe but tainted with Anthrax.

Anthrax? In my scag?

“Since December 6, there have been 15 confirmed cases of anthrax among heroin users, 14 in Scotland and one in Germany,” the ministry’s General Directorate for Health (DGS) said in a statement.

Heroin use, deaths spike in the St. Louis region

In Defense of Lady Gaga

A response to the assertions made by VigilantCitizen

In some circles, jokes about Lady Gaga are more often about her affiliation with the Illuminati and/or the possibilities of her being a reptilian mind control slave than her possibly having male genitalia. Perhaps, also, she is the Whore of Babylon or Crowley’s “Scarlet Woman”, or maybe she’s actually Kali. With these possibilities in mind, I’ll take a look at the various claims that Mr. Vigilant Citizen (who, incidentally has an esoterically significant name – more on that later, perhaps) makes in his various pages about her.

You can read all of those here, which I suggest you do first, or else nothing else will make sense:

Lady Gaga, The Illuminati Puppet

Lady Gaga, the Illuminati Puppet – Part 2

Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance – The Occult Meaning

I don’t know if the above author has an obsession with Lady Gaga, but I know I do.

Honestly, how can you not love that? Alright, whatever, let’s get down to business.

His first claim is perhaps the most telling, and what it indicates determines the mood for the rest of the articles:

The symbolism surrounding Lady Gaga is so blatant that one might wonder if it’s all a sick joke. Illuminati symbolism is becoming so clear that analyses like this one becomes a simple exercise of pointing out the obvious. Her whole persona (whether its an act or not) is a tribute to mind control, where being vacuous, incoherent and absent minded becomes a fashionable thing.

Protip: It is all a joke, although whether or not its sick is up for debate. Lighten up man, just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s some terrible Monster out to get you. Laugh along with the cosmic giggle, or get off the World Stage. Let’s continue.

What do you mean by “mind control”? I suggest you research “project MK Ultra” to get a little background information on the subject. Here’s a quick overview taken from the surprisingly accurate Wikipedia:

Whoa, whoa. Why even bring that up, when there are so many far older and more effective methods of mind control? For instance: school, religion, work, government, culture in general – which I think Lady Gaga is meta-commenting.

MR. WEINGLASS: Between the date of your birth, November 30, 1936, and May 1, 1960, what if anything occurred in your life?

THE WITNESS: Nothing.  I believe it is called an American education.

Now, I’m not disputing MK-ultra or the fact that the CIA as well as all kinds of various weird groups practice mind control…and possibly far more sinister acts, like eating gold. The pharaohs were doing it, you know, back when mushrooms grew everywhere and we were all Children of the Light. But nevermind.

Next, Mr. Citizen claims that a butterfly-laden outfit that Lady Gaga wore contained symoblism alluding to CIA mind control project “Monarch”.

During their reeducation, subjects are said to be exposed to numerous symbols such as trees, spider webs, masks, mazes, butterflies, etc. They are also shown movies which contain specific symbols (or “triggers”) such as The Wizard of Oz and many Disney Movies. The same way those subjects are brainwashed and reeducated, mass media conducts a large scale mind control project, which starts at birth with Disney movies and continues with Hollywood flicks and music videos.

What? Really? It couldn’t just be that, say, Lady Gaga is a girl and fucking likes butterflies? I don’t know, it might be too far out there, but hey, I kinda like butterflies, too. It must be because I watch Disney movies, but fuck it, at least I’m not a jew.

I fucking loved that movie.

Next he says,

OMG! What does this crazy stuff has to do with Lady Gaga? I luv her!!

Hey, you know what? Fuck you, buddy. Great way to set up a strawman argument.

This guy used to give me nightmares.

Besides being a logical fallacy and just an incredibly poor way of arguing anything, it frankly is quite telling of yr character. Obviously, people that listen to Lady Gaga, people that are themselves under the sway of mind control, are stupid sheep, incapable of original or creative thought. This is because she is an Illuminati puppet, and she is an Illuminati puppet because her listeners are stupid sheep!!11

Alright, what else does this guy try to argue…?

Gaga is a term that immediately refers to absent mindedness. Here are some synonyms taken from a thesaurus:

• Given to lighthearted silliness: empty-headed, featherbrained, flighty, frivolous, frothy, giddy, harebrained, lighthearted, scatterbrained, silly. Slang birdbrained, dizzy.
• Afflicted with or exhibiting irrationality and mental unsoundness: brainsick, crazy, daft, demented, disordered, distraught, dotty, insane, lunatic, mad, maniac, maniacal, mentally ill, moonstruck, off, touched, unbalanced, unsound, wrong.

Never mind that by referring to such things as “insanity” (which is, remember, a legal and not a medical term) or mania, mental illness, etc, is to continue to support another Heavy and Fucked up part of the Establishment. Mainstream psychiatry is fraught with some of the worst crimes I’ve seen. Yeah, forget all about it: you’re schizophrenic, not a shaman. I do wonder though, has Mr. Citizen ever felt giddy, himself? Because personally, I’m giggling like a prepubescent school girl.

Awwwwwright.

NEXT

Her logo is pretty revealing and particularly fitting. Its a headless female body with a bolt of lightning  going through her and exiting  her genitalia. There is once again a focus on the lack of conscious thought by the singer. The body looks like the weird headless mannequins you find at clothing stores. The bolt of lightning implies that her thoughtless body has been “charged” with a force that gives it life (interesting note: trauma-based mind control is often induced using electro-shock treatments).

Lightning bolts can mean many things esoterically, it does not necessarily mean “the lack of conscious thought by the singer”. This sounds to me like some old-school distrust of the weird-female-side of man, Jung’s Anima, of left-handed people, homosexuals, and anybody weird. I wonder, is Citizen insinuating that Lady Gaga is not capable of conscious thought? Or has she just forsaken it?

Well, I’m not sure if my source here is credible (but what the hell, were you expecting that?), but if Lady Gaga wrote this essay, I think it’s safe to say that she’s either capable of conscious thought or paid someone to write it for her using glitter.

Glitter!

Given this, I’m going to assume that the general assertion is that Lady Gaga sold her soul to the devil (who in turn controls the Illuminati) to make it in the music business, right? That story is older than old.

Man, this is a really terrible article. Whatever. The bar wasn’t exactly set that high. Anyway,

You only need to look at a couple of Lady Gaga pictures or videos to notice that she is constantly hiding one of her eyes. Most people will simply interpret this  as ”a cool thing to do” or a “fashion statement”. Those who have passed the 101 of Illuminati symbolism know that the All-Seeing Eye is probably its most recognizable symbol. The gesture of hiding one eye, usually the left one, goes way back in occult orders. Here’s an explanation of the origin of the Eye of Horus.

Really? Illuminati Symbolism 101? Where do they teach that one, the Hateful Christians for the Old World Order University?

Also, where is this connection of “Illuminati -> every occult order in existence” coming from, exactly? I’ve got a pretty good idea, but I’m willing to play Novice here. I mean, the Bavarian Illuminati hasn’t been around that long, and that is what most people are talking about when they refer to the Illuminati, right…?

Okay, so to support this statement he posts various pictures of the Beautiful & Dirty Rich Lady Gaga doing various poses with her eye. None of which really indicate the all seeing eye at the top of the pyramid.

Master Theroin, patron saint of &HE.

Right so, continuing…more nonsense…then some lame points about the Paparazzi video (really, mickey mouse clothes? I was thinking more “queen bee”, but whatever. I thought the end of Mass Effect was about a giant insect made out of Salvia.)

ON to part II!

PART TWO. EVEN MORE GAGA.

Let’s get straight to it:

My first article on Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta called “Lady Gaga, the Illuminati Puppet“ generated a great deal of interest and controversy. It got featured on many websites and I was deemed either a “genius” or “batshit crazy” depending on the point of view.

Oh, come on, don’t flatter yourself man. It’s embarrassing. Really? Genius or bathshit insane? I’d have to go with “mildly paranoid, probably due to an excess of dopamine in his limbic system resulting in a denial of his low-grade schizophrenia”. Or maybe it’s just Lupus.

It’s never lupus.

But to those who have background knowledge and who have researched these topics (a small minority), I was simply stating the obvious.

I must kindly disagree, Mr. Citizen. Not everyone does, or should think in strictly one manner – especially on such fringe topics. You’re saying one thing but doing another.

In my articles on Lady Gaga and the 2009 VMAs, I’ve identified the use and display of elements taken from Masonic symbolism. If my previous claims were considered inconclusive or “grasping at straws” by some, I wonder if they’ll remain skeptical of the presence of Masonic symbolism in pop culture after seeing this  set of photos, taken INSIDE A MASONIC LODGE,

Yeah, that doesn’t really look like a Masonic Lodge to me, it looks like a Disco version of the Patheon. Whatever.

Gaga is standing between both pillars, wearing Hello Kitty shoes, occultly referring to mind control programming (innocence, childhood, re-education, etc). Her eyes are closed but she has wide-open eyes painted on her eyelids, which is very symbolic: her eyes seem open but they are still wide shut.

No way man, Hello Kitty is referring to the mind control program called Toxoplasma fuckin’ Gondii. Each of our assertions is equally valid.

In the movie, Maria, a girl from the working class, is “chosen” by the elite to give her likeness to a mind-controlled robot in order to confuse the masses. There is a dichotomy between the real and the false Maria that is also found in Gaga’s latest offering called Fame Monster.

Ooh. Life imitating art imitiating life imitating art imit– oh fuck it. Awesome. This is all adding up to say that Lady Gaga has actually put conscious thought behind her image, and is portraying it in an accurate & satirical manner (all while being marvelous).

In the above image, Gaga’s hairstyle is extremely similar to the robot Maria seen here:

No, sorry, they look nothing alike and their body language are polar opposites. If they are each sending an encoded Illuminati message, they’re two contradictory ones.

The false Lady Gaga is opposed to the real, natural and apparently unhappy Lady Gaga.

Wow dude, get a fucking clue, baby.She’s not sad, she’s Goth as fuck. Yah. Lady Gaga has obvious gothic music & fashion roots, which itself is a genre rife with all sorts of occult nonsense. z0mg! What could it all mean?

Whether she is commenting on the mind control phenomenon in mass media or simply a victim of it is still hard to determine but one thing is for sure: the symbolism is there and that’s the goal of the article.

Dude, what? Your goal was to string together a bunch of possibly related symbols? That sounds like…writing. More meta-commentary? Damn, I think I pulled a hipster muscle with the strain of all this not-irony.

Lady Gaga is an artist. They deal in symbols. That’s the point. The systems of control don’t need Lady Gaga to control your mind, you’re already conditioned and loaded down with preconceptions to the point of sinking in your own filth.

There is an obvious media campaign pushing these elements into pop culture. What should we do about it? MTV says: Just dance.

Say “no” to dancing, Kids!

Alright, that’s enough for now. I’ll cover his analysis of “Bad Romance” in a day or two, as well as cover anything else that pops up…like little children committing suicide because Gaga told them to.

Melatonin & Marijuana

Taken from: MELATONIN: Your Body’s Natural Wonder Drug,Russel J. Reiter, Ph.D., Jo Robinson;©1995 Bantam Books:198–199

Of all the known ways to stimulate melatonin production, none is more dramatic than smoking marijuana. Marijuana stimulates production of a prostaglandin called PGE2, which may relate to its ability to stimulate melatonin production. Italian researchers discovered that when eight men smoked a cigarette containing the active ingredient in marijuana, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), they had dramatically higher melatonin levels twenty minutes later. After two hours, their melatonin levels were 4,000 percent higher than at baseline!(11)

The fact that smoking marijuana is accompanied by a dramatic increase in melatonin production may explain some of the drug’s positive effects. A 1995 article in The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the hallucinogen is being used to counteract the toxicity of chemotherapy, treat migraines, reduce intraocular pressure, minimize pain, treat menstrual cramps, and moderate wasting syndrome in AIDS patients.(12) Melatonin has been shown to ameliorate each and every one of these conditions.

Smoking marijuana as a vehicle to increase melatonin production, however, may not be a good idea. The increase is so marked that it is not likely to be beneficial, especially if one smokes marijuana during the daytime, when melatonin levels are normally so low that they are just above the level of detection. Causing such a dramatic surge in melatonin levels in the daytime could phase-shift your circadian rhythms or interfere with your health in other as yet unknown ways.

Oh, btw, speaking of the pineal gland…this is just to shut up certain people that keep saying, “DMT isn’t actually produced in yr brain/body naturally”, explaining that its “disputed”:

When the endogenous hallucinogenic trace amine N,N-dimethyltryptamine meets the sigma-1 receptor.

N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a hallucinogen found endogenously in human brain that is commonly recognized to target the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor or the trace amine-associated receptor to exert its psychedelic effect. DMT has been recently shown to bind sigma-1 receptors, which are ligand-regulated molecular chaperones whose function includes inhibiting various voltage-sensitive ion channels. Thus, it is possible that the psychedelic action of DMT might be mediated in part through sigma-1 receptors. Here, we present a hypothetical signaling scheme that might be triggered by the binding of DMT to sigma-1 receptors.

 

 

Endogenous psychoactive tryptamines reconsidered: an anxiolytic role for dimethyltryptamine.

The presence of the potent hallucinogenic psychoactive chemical N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in the human body has puzzled scientists for decades. Endogenous DMT was investigated in the 1960s and 1970s and it was proposed that DMT was involved in psychosis and schizophrenia. This hypothesis developed from comparisons of the blood and urine of schizophrenic and control subjects. However, much of this research proved inconclusive and conventional thinking has since held that trace levels of DMT, and other endogenous psychoactive tryptamines, are insignificant metabolic byproducts. The recent discovery of a G-protein-coupled, human trace amine receptor has triggered a reappraisal of the role of compounds present in limited concentrations in biological systems. Interestingly enough, DMT and other psychoactive tryptamine hallucinogens elicit a robust response at the trace amine receptor. While it is currently accepted that serotonin 5-HT(2A) receptors play a pivotal role in the activity of hallucinogenic/psychedelic compounds, we propose that the effects induced by exogenous DMT administration, especially at low doses, are due in part to activity at the trace amine receptor. Furthermore, we suggest that endogenous DMT interacts with the TA receptor to produce a calm and relaxed mental state, which may suppress, rather than promote, symptoms of psychosis. This hypothesis may help explain the inconsistency in the early analysis of endogenous DMT in humans. Finally, we propose that amphetamine action at the TA receptor may contribute to the calming effects of amphetamine and related drugs, especially at low doses.

The hallucinogen N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is an endogenous sigma-1 receptor regulator.

The sigma-1 receptor is widely distributed in the central nervous system and periphery. Originally mischaracterized as an opioid receptor, the sigma-1 receptor binds a vast number of synthetic compounds but does not bind opioid peptides; it is currently considered an orphan receptor. The sigma-1 receptor pharmacophore includes an alkylamine core, also found in the endogenous compound N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). DMT acts as a hallucinogen, but its receptor target has been unclear. DMT bound to sigma-1 receptors and inhibited voltage-gated sodium ion (Na+) channels in both native cardiac myocytes and heterologous cells that express sigma-1 receptors. DMT induced hypermobility in wild-type mice but not in sigma-1 receptor knockout mice. These biochemical, physiological, and behavioral experiments indicate that DMT is an endogenous agonist for the sigma-1 receptor.

Endogenous hallucinogens as ligands of the trace amine receptors: a possible role in sensory perception

While the endogenous hallucinogens, N,N-dimethyltryptamine, 5-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-tryptamine and 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, have been acknowledged as naturally occurring components of the mammalian body for decades, their biological function remains as elusive now as it was at the time of their discovery. The recent discovery of the trace amine associated receptors and the activity of DMT and other hallucinogenic compounds at these receptor sites leads to the hypothesis that the endogenous hallucinogens act as neurotransmitters of a subclass of these trace amine receptors. Additionally, while activity at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor has been proposed as being responsible for the hallucinogenic affects of administered hallucinogens, in their natural setting the 5-HT2A receptor may not interact with the endogenous hallucinogens at all. Additionally 5-HT2A agonist activity is unable to account for the visual altering effects of many of the administered hallucinogens; these effects may be mediated by one of the endogenous hallucinogen trace amine receptors rather than the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. Therefore, activity at the trace amine receptors, in addition to serotonin receptors, may play a large role in the sensory altering effects of administered hallucinogens and the trace amine receptors along with their endogenous hallucinogen ligands may serve an endogenous role in mediating sensory perception in the mammalian central nervous system. Thus the theory proposed states that these compounds act as true endogenous hallucinogenic transmitters acting in regions of the central nervous system involved in sensory perception.
