Symbols


I want to start this post by examining the Illuminati. I first heard of this secret society by reading Dan Brown’s book Angels & Demons. After reading about it I became interested in it so I did some research. This was back in high school so I started to do more research again for this project. The word “Illuminati” comes from the Latin word illuminatus which means enlighten, and the secret society was birthed in May 1, 1776 in Germany. They modeled themselves after another secret society called the Freemasons. The Freemasons are a more known society, they are more like a fraternity and they have been around since like the 1500’s. The Freemasons have also been linked to conspiracies and are also mentioned in Dan Brown’s books. The Freemasons and the Illuminati are kind of like the same group. In fact it has been thought, that many of Freemason members were a part of the creation of the Illuminati. The Illuminati actually based their foundations from the Freemasons, they were kind of inspired by them. If you put the word “Illuminati” in the Google search engine you are going to see that the word is linked to the Freemasons and conspiracy. Not much is known about the Illuminati because they are a “secret” society and their history is short but The Freemasons on the other have a long history, and their symbols are more apparent. Because the Freemasons are more of a fraternity than a secret society more is known about them. If you want to read about their history you can click on the link > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry#Ritual.2C_symbolism.2C_and_morality (Wikipedia, I think is a liable source and so does my CSIS professor, so do not worry I am pretty sure majority of the information is fact).

Today’s post is going to be about symbolisms and music videos. A lot of people watch music videos but they do not look at the things surrounding the artist, like symbols. Just like with lyrics, people are not listening for a message they just hear the music. Last week I talked about a subliminal message that was found in the rapper Jay-Z’s song Lucifer, this time I want to talk about certain symbols that are being used in today’s popular music videos. I am going to talk about two artists, Lady Gaga from the United States and Belinda from Mexico. Lady Gaga is an international superstar and she is controversial. She uses a lot of symbols in her videos, and a lot of them are linked to the Illuminati, freemasons and Christianity. Many of you may know her, but you probably do not know Belinda. Belinda is a child star from Mexico. She is a singer and actress and has been in the industry for many years. All of a sudden symbols are starting to be used in her videos, especially in her video for Egoista, which translates to Egotistical in English.  Watch their videos; click on the links and then see if you can find the similar things (symbols).


Did you see anything similar in these videos? If not let me break it down for you.

Things that were similar in Gaga’s and Belinda’s videos might not seem noticeable but here are some clips to demonstrate them.





Did you notice the checkered pattern, if not here they are. Why do both of these videos that have nothing to do with each other have the same pattern? It may not seem like much until you find out that this pattern is used by the freemasons.



This is a picture of the symbols that the Freemasons use. On the floor you can see that the white and black checker pattern is one of them. In Belinda’s video the stage is actually the same in this picture with the throne in the middle. These are not the only two videos that share the black and white checker patterns, but I am only mentioning these two videos because they are more apparent. They use this pattern because they modeled it after King Solomon’s Temple, Solomon from the Bible. The black and white colors represent good and evil.

Could Belinda and Gaga be telling us something through their videos? In Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance and in Belinda’s Egoista video they both wear black and white. If the colors represent good and evil could that mean that they are in a war and have to choose a side?

Another thing that was common in their videos was the image of Baphomet. Baphomet is basically a demon. He is the representation of the devil himself. Don’t believe, then check out these pictures.




                                          

 Here is the link to read about Baphomet, also known as Satan himself >  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet

Why is it that this figure is in their video? What is the purpose?
And if you are not convinced then this picture of Lady Gaga should be shocking.



She is copying Baphomet’s position. She clearly knows about these symbols because she constantly uses them. She is either messing with the public which could be true, but these things are taken very seriously. She should not be playing with these type of things because they mean stuff to certain people. Christianity is the World’s popular religion, and Baphomet is not a figure that is appreciated. By Lady Gaga and Belinda having him in their video is shows that they worship him especially since he is put in high places. In both Gaga’s videos he is up on a wall above her, which signifies that he has the power over her. And in Belinda’s video he is on top of the throne, also above her which signifies that he has power over her as well.


 Another thing they have in common is the fire. Fire obviously is an element that is synonymous with Hell. Hell is described in the Bible as the home of the Devil. Satan rules over Hell, he is the master there. Like God wants people to go to heaven, Satan wants people to go to Hell. Hell, described in the Bible is a torturous place that is eternal. Those who are or are going to Hell will suffer tremendously. It is like a never ending punishment.
                                   




They are both surrounded by flames. Belinda is on the throne right in the middle of the fire. And Lady Gaga is watching the fire as it burns the man in the bed. Gaga is also wearing white while Belinda is wearing black, again the meaning of good and evil. These videos go beyond that just for aesthetic reasons, these things obviously mean something or they would not have the same exact symbols in them.

The last thing I could find that both artists shared in their videos was the depiction of dogs. Now dogs in today’s society have no meaning but in the religious world they have a purpose. Especially when it comes to the Egyptian religion; the god of the underworld in the Egyptian religion was called Anubis. He is depicted as a double headed jackal. Jackals are a part of the dog family. Anubis, again was the god of the underworld making him the devil. If Satan is the master of Hell then he and Anubis are basically the same figures.

Now are you convinced? I think some people might look at this and say well maybe Belinda is just copying off of Gaga, but the fact is that these are not the only videos that have these symbols. I chose these because they made it more obvious. But there are a lot of music videos, and artists from other countries that use these symbols. All of the symbols that I have pointed out are all evil, not one good at all. And the crazy thing is that the Illuminati and freemasons use these symbols.

Some stuff that I Found in Gaga’s videos but could not find in Belinda’s were the number 6. In the Bible the number 666 represents the beast. Anyone who has this mark will go to the hell. In the Bible, from the King James version, in the book of revelation, chapter 13 verses 17 and 18 it states,

17 "and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666."
After looking for certain symbols I noticed that in Gaga’s video the number 6 came up a lot. And sometimes this number was disguised. Take a look.
I turned the first image upside down because when you do so you can clearly see the number 6 appears three times. If you place it back into its original place then it becomes the letter G. Obviously Gaga starts with the letter G but there are only two G’s in her name. Why have three? Also why weren’t the letters put in capital if she did not want to get it confused. The other image bluntly shows the number 6. Only this time you only see it twice. However, there are three computers and they are the same. So that means all three computers will have the same number 6 in the back creating the number 666. But if you did not notice there were three computers you see the second computer in front of the first one, making it 66, but then with the head phones, that also shows the number 6, when you put them together it makes 666. And like the Bible states, anyone who has this mark will be sent to Hell.
I do not know if these artists are playing a prank but by the looks of it they certainly are making people talk about it. Is it a conspiracy or are they really worshipping the devil? You be the judge.
