Hollywood Behind Closed Doors: The Illuminati’s Impact
In today’s modern society, it seems like it is run by social media. And when we look at social media we see celebrities living a life of luxury and abundance. This then makes us humans unconsciously transition our lives to be just like theirs. For example, you want to start saying the things they say, doing the things they do, just so we can live the life that they show us. Think about your favorite artists and the songs they sing. Beyonce comes to mind for me. The last time I heard a Beyonce song, I learned and sang every single lyric and even perfected her dance moves as well. Like you may do with your favorite artist, one may start to admire Beyonce as a person and want to be like her. Why is it so addicting to follow the people on the big screen? It seems as if these celebrities want us to be devoted to the content that each of them puts out into the world. We fall into this trap, we memorize every song, we follow their social media accounts and we slowly try to transform ourselves to look and be more like that celebrity. The Illuminati is believed to be a secret society that entertainers use to control people’s beliefs. Although most people say Hollywood has nothing to do with the Illuminati, I believe there is evidence that the Illuminati is running successfully in the entertainment industry today.
It is no secret that the Illuminati is a conspiracy theory or an explanation for an event that involves a group in power. The Illuminati is often connected with conspiracy theory beliefs, which leads most people to not consider the information to be reliable. According to Sophia Smith Galer’s article, The Story of How the Myth Exploded Reveals How Fake Stories Spread Today and The Secrets Behind the Psychology of Their Fiercest Proponents, “Viren Swami Professor of social psychology at Anglia Ruskin University says — the simplest form of explanation is that people who believe in conspiracy theories are suffering from some sort of psychopathology.” Strictly speaking, if humans choose to believe in these types of conspiracy theories, you must have something wrong with your mental state. This is as significant as a person judging you because of your beliefs and telling you you are mentally ill. From that same article, Galer highlights,
“Swami, who published research in 2016 that found believers in conspiracy theories are more likely to be suffering from stressful experiences than non-believers. Other psychologists also discovered last year that people with higher levels of education are less likely to believe in conspiracy theories.”
In other words, these researchers found a solution to the reason people believe in these tragic events or stories. People who tend to be younger in age and stressed about life lean toward believing in conspiracy theories like the Illuminati.
Regardless of if you believe the Illuminati is running today or not, it was once very known and talked about in 1776. This is when the secret society first started in Germany by Adam Weishaupt. In consonance with Eirikur Bergmann in Conspiracy and Populism: The Politics of Misinformation
“Initially, it was named the Order of the Illuminati, later referred to as the Illuminati. The name refers to the Enlightenment and the stated purpose was opposing ‘superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life, and abuses of state power”(25).
This tells us that the Illuminati’s goal is to be in power and to ultimately rule the world. Using our public everyday life and religious beliefs as its main focus, the brotherhood will try to manage the whole world. In 1787 the Illuminati started to disappear due to secret groups being banned. In Culture of Conspiracy, author Michael Barkun says, “ They insisted that it had never died, that its dissolution was only apparent, and that in the ultimate act of clandestinity, it had survived its own death”(47). Most people believe that the Illuminati never stopped running but instead became more powerful than ever. A young evangelist, John Wayne Todd, who was on a few public talks of audio recordings had a lot to say about the secret society. Bergmann says “He maintained that the Illuminati had twice before in recent history tried to take over full control of the world, first in Napoleon’s time and again during the First World War”(20). To further explain, the Illuminati was not afraid to go to certain lengths to have power. Bergmann says, “Todd maintained that the Illuminati intended to rule over six societal areas: religion, politics, economics, education, military and society”(20). Religion and society are very crucial for how the Illuminati is running the entertainment industry today.
The Illuminati embodies antichrists. The secret brotherhood is out to destroy Christianity. Barkun studies say,
“The chaos this portends will fulfill Bible prophecy, for our Lord warned us the time would come when the very denizens of hell would lash out and attempt to destroy God’s people. The Illuminati, by whatever name, are none other than the beast of the Book of Revelation’’(53).
The Illuminati seek out to perform the seven deadly sins. According to Christianity, they are lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. They use these deadly sins everyday and force it onto most humans and we do not even notice it is being done. Barkun says
“Modern technology appeared to equip the Antichrist with hitherto unavailable capacities for misrepresentation and domination. Electronic communications, especially television, could create instant global celebrity, while computers and microelectronics offered the means to monitor and control behavior and commerce”(44).
In other words, living in 2021 we are connected to social media and what we watch/listen to, and the Illuminati uses this to their advantage. This method makes us listen to songs with lust in them or a strong desire for sexual needs. Most songs today are surrounded by sex and how much they have it or want it. This is embodying the sin of lust. Even though there are songs that do not involve the seven deadly sins, they are not put on the radio or the big screen because they are not following or a part of the Illuminati’s secret society. Bergmann mentioned, “…also to mould the members into becoming a powerful elite, who could push the grandiose agenda of the brotherhood into action”(25). This tells us that each member of the secret society is meant to be in power or the spotlight. Their influence on us normal humans is to exemplify the seven deadly sins and we watch them because that is all the media shows us.
If this information is true, why do celebrities partake in serving the devil? Some people would do anything for fame and fortune and apparently selling one’s soul to the devil is one of those things. Celebrities have said this in many of their songs yet people seem to look past it because they think they are joking or it is just a metaphor. For example Eminem is a popular rapper and mentions selling his soul in his song, Say Goodbye Hollywood. On Genius’ lyrics it reads, “I sold my soul to the devil, I’ll never get it back. I just wanna leave this game with level head intact. Imagine going from bein’ a no-one to seein’ everything blow up, and all you did was just grow up emceein’. It’t fuckin’ crazy, cause all I wanted was to give Hallie the life I never had, instead I forced us to live alienated so I’m sayin’.” This is really common with most celebrities, they become a part of the Illuminati and they regret it. They start off with having nothing and desperate for money and fame. Eminem had to provide for his daughter, Hallie, and now he feels uneasy about his actions that he cannot take back.
Not only does the Illuminati have control over the music industry, but any source of entertainment today. Lil Nas X is a popular artist right now for his song that has gone viral called, Call Me By Your Name. In this music video, Lil Nas X is seen with the devil. He is friends with him and not scared of him like most people may be. He then later releases shoes with Nike called, “Satan Shoes.” These shoes have the satanic symbol on them and are in red and black. The red has real human blood at the bottom of the shoes. This is a perfect example of the Illuminati attempting to take power away from Christianity and replacing it with worshiping the devil along with the seven deadly sins. The fact that Nike made this partnership with Lil Nas X tells me that any big brands are a part of the secret society as well. Barkum suggests, “…the ultimate lever was money, because money could buy control”(49). This makes me believe that if you have money and a huge following you are most likely a part of the Illuminati.
Another big artist that is worshiping the devil is Megan Thee Stallion. There are many signs that coincide with the devil or the Illuminati group as a whole. For example one is the pyramid or a triangle, devil horns, sticking out one’s tongue, and the showing of one eye. It can also be obvious with the number six repeated three times. Megan Thee Stallion’s signature is sticking her tongue out and it is seen in the Bible to be frowned upon. Not only does she stick her tongue out but ever since she became popular in the industry her songs are all about Lust. Such as in her song, Sex Talk. It is literally in the title of the song. Compared to her songs that she made before she became famous she definitely did not only rap about her body. This is not only in Hip-Hop but all genres as well. Katy Perry, a Pop star, admits in a video saying she sold her soul and that is why she became such a known artists. In the interview Katy Perry is talking about how she loved gospel music and made an album for gospel music when she was fifth-teen then goes on to say, “I wanted to be like the Amy Grant of music yeah, but it didn’t work out so I sold my soul to the devil”(0:28).
According to Bergmann,
“… he claims that satanic forces also lay behind the founding of the Illuminati, which was to become the master instrument in Lucifer’s scheme to regain full control of the earth”(55).
This is all a game to the Illuminati and they think they are winning. Similar to when NBA stars throw up three fingers on both hands when they make a basket. This adds up to the number six, which then presents relation to the number six being repeated three times in association to the devil. Any big name entertainment star you can think of is most likely a part of the secret society.
Whether you choose to believe that the Illuminati is controlling the entertainment industry today or not, here are some ways to steer clear of the secret society. This may vary depending on your religious beliefs but should be easily altered for anyone to partake in. First off, pay attention to the things that you allow into your aura. Regardless of how popular the song is and how good it sounds, it all could tie back to the Illuminati. You should not be taking in anything that does not serve you for your highest good. This also applies with what you watch on television or the big screen. Your life is a reflection of yourself, and if you take in the devil you will see the devil in various areas in your life. This is how the Illuminati fries your brain into worshiping the devil. But if you choose to watch videos or movies that are surrounded by love and what you want to take in then you are on the right track. There are plenty of underground artists who make music that does not serve the seven deadly sins. You may also want to take into account who you follow and who you surround yourself with. If you are following all of these satanic celebrities on social media then you are going to be taking in exactly what they want you to have. Instead, follow people who do not worship Lucifer, and choose to put out content that makes you feel better about yourself. An artist I listen to that has pure intentions is Londrelle. He makes music that makes you want to get up and do something with your life. It is inspirational, and also catchy. So when you find yourself singing it to yourself, you are singing positive affirmations that will help you become the best version of yourself. The Illuminati will not have control over me. What about you?
