Gaga's Masquerade Ball




Also, I wanted to quickly comment on these Alexander McQueen designed shoes worn by Lady Gaga in her "Bad Romance" video. McQueen is one of the many designers using Occult symbolism in his overpriced and ridiculous looking designs.



On a completely different note I wanted to post this video about Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's music video "Say Say Say" here. It's very well done, let me know what you think.

Busted: Statue's a Dead Ringer for Jacko
Jackson-like bust gets attention at Field Museum
By ANDREW GREINER
The Pharaoh of Pop doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as King of Pop, but visitors to Chicago’s Field Museum could swear that’s Jacko’s face on a 3,000-year-old Egyptian bust.

A Celebrity Speaks


KING: All right, some see what you have or had as a serious psychological disorder.
ROSEANNE: I like how you just keep going.
KING: Others as psychological fad. Also...
ROSEANNE: A fad?
KING: Whether it's deliberately induced or naturally occurring.
ROSEANNE: Well, I have this head shrinker and he says it's deliberately induced because the CIA is where they started inducing it when after they brought all the Nazis over from Germany to run American Psychiatric Association.
KING: What are you about?
ROSEANNE: I'm telling you the truth. It is all mind control and all kinds of things to invent people with multiple personalities.
KING: So you have been captured by Nazis?
ROSEANNE: The government. Well in a way, I believe the government has implanted some kind of a chip into my head where...
KING: Roseanne.
ROSEANNE: You know, is monitored by Barbara Walters and these other women. And they take all my ideas and I'm, you know.
KING: Yes, is Oprah one of the people monitoring?
ROSEANNE: Of course.
KING: She's definitely in touch?
ROSEANNE: Definitely. I think she sits with her finger on the switch to the chip.
Roseanne was a victim of sexual and physical abuse by both of her parents and developed DID as a result. In 1991 she publically shared her story of trauma.
A Star Cries Incest
By Roseanne Arnold
In a Stunning Public Statement, TV's Top-Rated Comedienne Claims She Was Sexually Abused as a Child
From singing the national anthem off-key to mud-wrestling with her husband, Tom Arnold, in a Vanity Fair photo spread, TV's most outspoken comedienne, Roseanne Arnold—who recently dropped her maiden name, Barr—has seldom lacked for attention or controversy. But whatever the result of her antics, her intent was always to be funny. That changed dramatically just days ago when she stood before an audience of 1,000 at Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church in Denver and made a claim that was as shocking as it was serious: "My name is Roseanne, "she said, "and I am an incest survivor."
The invitation-only gathering had been organized by Survivors United Network and was composed of adult incest survivors and therapists. They had no idea who the evening's guest speaker would be. During her 30-minute speech, Roseanne, 38, said she had been sexually abused during her childhood in Salt Lake City but had suppressed the memories until a triggering incident nearly two years ago caused them to come flooding back. She said she had since undergone extensive therapy. Inspired by former Miss America Marilyn Van Derbur Atler, an incest survivor who told of the experience in PEOPLE earlier this year, Roseanne decided to tell her own story as a way of letting other incest victims throughout the country know that they were not alone. Arnold, who trembled visibly as she read her prepared text, was interrupted more than 20 times by applause.
It was an astonishing evening and an astonishing story—one that is sure to be scrutinized in the weeks to come. Reached at their home in Salt Lake City, Roseanne's parents, Helen and Jerome Barr, declined to discuss their daughter's allegations and referred a PEOPLE reporter to their lawyer, Melvin Belli, of San Francisco. His clients, says Belli's assistant Kevin McLean, are "denying all the allegations against them. We will have a response to every allegation Mrs. Arnold is making," he adds. Roseanne's brother, Ben Barr, visited at the Utah AIDS Foundation, of which he is executive director, said "No comment' when asked about Roseanne's accusations. Despite repeated attempts by PEOPLE, Roseanne's sisters, Stephanie and Geraldine, could not be reached for comment.
At home in Los Angeles the day after her Denver speech, Roseanne Arnold gave the following account of her experiences to correspondent Vickie Bane.
KEEPING THE SECRET OF INCEST HAS taken all my energy and courage for 38 years. For most of my life, voices in my head must have been telling me, "Shut up. Shut up. Shut up and take it. There's nothing you can do, take it, forget it. At least you have a place to live and food on the table. You're crazy. You deserve it."
It's a secret I didn't even know I had until two years ago. About that time, my husband, Tom, then my fiancĂ©, went into a drug-rehab center. The third night he was there, he called me and told me about an incident that happened to him as a child. It was a story of horrible and painful abuse in which he had been sexually molested by his baby-sitter. Immediately after hanging up, I began to shake and sweat. Pictures started to appear before my eyes—surreal and frightening, looming large, then crystallizing into my mother's face. I remember being abused. I started to scream and cry, and I called one of my sisters. I got into my car and drove to the hospital where Tom was. I told Tom and a therapist what I had remembered. I cried and cried until I was dry.
I had made sure Tom had gotten help when he needed it, and as soon as he got out of the hospital, he took over my life. I was in such bad shape, I couldn't sleep or think or function. I was still in a huge place of denial.
I had just reread the hook I wrote in 1989, My Life as a Woman, and I knew that I had totally sanitized it to protect my family. I began to have dreams about having been molested. At first I would shrug them off, but they happened so often, it became harder and harder to ignore. I would wake up screaming, and Tom would write down what I said so that I wouldn't forget it, because for a long time I couldn't focus. I wouldn't drive, because I had the urge to drive off cliffs, into other cars, kill myself. I didn't know how to feel trust, intimacy, have sex that wasn't degrading, say no to my children, be assertive. Tom began to sort through the mess of my life. He called the therapist, Arlene Drake, and drove me to see her. He sat outside, and afterward he helped me walk to the car. I knew this was the place I would get well, but I was also scared, because I knew I would have to go through with it. Slowly, with the help of individual and group therapy, I began to remember. Even more slowly, I began to believe myself.
This is the truth I unraveled: My mother abused me from the time I was an infant until I was 6 or 7 years old. She did lots of lurid things. She hurt me psychologically and physically.
I remember being 2 years old and standing in my crib. I remember my mother holding a pillow over my face, pushing me down. I remember thinking, 'Lie still, play dead.' I did, and then Mother took the pillow away and said, "I must have hurt you honey. I was just playing."
As soon I was able to start talking, my mother went from physical abuse to a more emotional and mental abuse. I remember when I was about 5 or 6 that I came home from school and my mother was lying on the kitchen floor with blood covering her neck and chest. I screamed and screamed for two or three minutes. Then she sat up and said, "It's ketchup, you idiot," and laughed. She always played horrendous mind games with me all through my life.
My father molested me until I left home at age 17. He constantly put his hands all over me. He forced me to sit on his lap, to cuddle with him, to play with his penis in the bathtub. He did grotesque and disgusting things: He used to chase me with his excrement and try to put it on my head. He'd lie on the floor playing with himself. It was the most disgusting thing you can ever imagine.
We were not allowed to lock the bathroom door. Dad would come in while I was showering and fling back the curtain and look at me. So I took baths. That way I could bend my knees up around my chest and fold in while he stood there taking pictures of me with his new movie camera. As a preteen and teenager, I had to place a towel over the doorknob so Daddy couldn't peek through the keyhole. I had to make sure the heating vent connecting the bathroom to Daddy's bedroom was closed so he couldn't look at me.
At age 17, following an auto accident in which I suffered a trauma to my head, I was sent to the Utah State Hospital for eight months. I was afraid to get close to anyone. I was afraid of losing control and saying bad things. I thought I was an eccentric, a writer, an artist. But the hospital was the most desirable place I ever was in Utah. During my eight months there, I started to heal.
Even so, I clung to my fantasy of our happy, quirky family, a bit off-kilter, but colorful, all-American, Jewish. In my fantasy my mother was kooky but cool. My father, an ex—football player, had trouble emoting but was a big, fluffy, harmless guy. The family would go to parties and tell outrageous stories. We'd tell them as jokes, and everyone would laugh and say we were so bizarre.
After I appeared on The Tonight Show in 1985, my career started rolling, but I was still blind to everything. I had people surrounding me who were abusive to me, who lied to me, made deals behind my back. The worse I was treated, the more loyal I was.
My three kids were totally screwed up at the time. There were no rules. They would miss 30 or 40 days of school a year. They did what they wanted, and I let them because I hadn't trusted adults and I didn't think they should either.
My family has always worried about what I might say. When I got the book deal in 1988, my mom immediately wanted to know what I was going to write about. I told her it was about my life. She said, "Don't humiliate us," and she cried and cried. I didn't understand it then. I thought she meant the craziness of the family, the fact that I was raised in two different religions, Jewish on weekends, Mormon on weekdays. I thought she was being a typical Jewish mother.
Only in the last two years have I realized the consequences of keeping our secret. I have lived the majority of my life in a flesh prison that I was always trying to blow up, break out of, whittle away. I tortured my body, smoking five packs of cigarettes a day and indulging in drug, alcohol and food abuse that had me weighing either 100 lbs. or 200 lbs. I was scratching and tearing at my body—mutilating myself. It was as if punishing my body would turn me into an angel of some sort, an angel that could transcend my own body—a body I hated because it was the holder of the truth, the secret.
The fact is, I didn't have a secret, the secret had me. I was trapped in a fantasy—that my family will love me, will be whole, will allow me to heal, will be safe, will stop lying, will stop blaming crazy old Roseanne.
Tom helped me break out of the trap. Something was so different about Tom. I didn't know why, but he became my best friend right from the start when I met him almost 10 years ago. Tom says I tested him and tested him, telling him things about myself and then taking them back, saying it was all a joke. We were married in January 1990.
Last year Tom, the kids and I all started therapy together. We went every day and every night. Individual counseling for each of the kids, family therapy, my therapy, Tom's therapy, marriage counseling. We learned to be parents. Unraveling the "happy family" fantasy is the hardest thing I've ever done.
The kids are doing really well now. Jessica, 16, is a brilliant writer; Jennifer, 15, is a talented artist; Jake, 13, is in college prep and loves making funny little comedy films. They're good kids too. They only missed two days of school last year, and they're all in gifted and talented classes. And they've been very proud of me telling my story of incest.
Now Tom and I want to have children of our own. In November I'm going in for an operation to reverse having my tubes cut.
Incest and child abuse thrive in darkness, in secrecy. One of the great taboos about incest is talking about it, dealing with it and healing from it. I believe the more voices we hear, the braver we become. I want to enter my voice into the mix. I want to be one more person who speaks out and up about incest, to give it a name. With a name and a visible form, we can treat it, contain it, destroy it.
This was the summer that I let go of the fantasy that things would get better. I was sick of the lie. I was ready. I did an interview in San Diego where I said that I had suffered sexual, physical and emotional abuse. After that interview, a home in San Diego for sexually abused children contacted us and asked us to come meet them. So Tom and I went down and met these little kids, incest survivors.
A couple of the kids, especially one little girl, touched me really deep. She said she was so glad that any celebrity cared about them. She reminded me of all the little girls and little boys who have to live with that horrible experience. She reminded me of me. What would it have been like if anybody ever said, "Hey, how are you?" Nobody in our lives ever said, "How are you?" It is very important to me that kids and other survivors know that somebody like me has gone through it too.

More From This Article
- Roseanne's Story: An Expert's View
- Dr. Judith Lewis Herman, who has studied childhood sexual abuse for 20 years, is considered one of the nation's leading experts on incest. An associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School and a staff physician at the Women's Mental Health Collective in Somerville, Mass., she is the author of Father-Daughter Incest. She spoke with correspondent Heidi J. LaFleche.
Roseanne calls her experience incest, but cites no instance of sexual intercourse. Is her use of the term accurate?
The essence of the term is sexual exploitation, not a particular sexual act. For a child to be forced to perform fellatio can be as frightening and overwhelming a violation as vaginal or anal intercourse. It's not which orifice is violated, but the child who is psychologically and physically violated. Anytime a child is sexually exploited by a relative in a position of power, that's incest.
What typically is a child's emotional response to incest?
What is essential is the violation of trust by the person to whom the child turns for care. The child learns that the most intimate relationships are dangerous.
Is it common for a victim of incest to bury the information for long periods of time?
It's quite common. The majority of kids don't tell while they're growing up because they fear being blamed or threatened with dire consequences if they tell. So most kids keep it secret well into adult life.
Even from themselves?
Frequently, yes. Many kids learn to create a secret compartment in their minds where memories are stored but not readily accessed until later on. The trigger is often a specific reminder of the abuse. Once the memories are released, they can come in a flood.
Is it possible that Roseanne could be imagining the incidents of abuse she recalls from her childhood?
Anything is possible, but we do know that what she's describing is consistent with the way traumatic memories come back to people. Normal memories have a context and a story line. Traumatic memories don't. They have a hyperreal quality. They're very vivid and consist of images, sensations and feelings. What we have found is that the great majority of women who actually try to validate their memories from outside sources are able to do that.
Roseanne Barr has began speaking at events with Cathy O'Brien about trauma based mind control.

If He Only Had A Brain
Michael Jackson to be buried without his brain
Michael Jackson will be buried without his brain today after doctors retained it following an autopsy to help determine the cause of death.
The King of Pop will be saluted in grand fashion at the Staples Centre memorial ceremony, and reportedly laid to rest at Los Angeles's Forest Lawn cemetery. However, the LA coroner's office has still not completed its tests on Jackson's brain, and the singer's family have been advised that unless they wish to wait, he must be buried without it.
Jackson died from an apparent cardiac arrest on 25 June. Though his body was released the next day to relatives, his brain was not. The pop star's inert brain must "harden" for at least two weeks before doctors can conduct their neuropathology tests.
Doctors will examine Jackson's brain to help determine the cause of death, suspected of being linked to painkillers. Such examinations can also reveal unknown diseases, evidence of alcohol abuse or whether Jackson has suffered overdoses in the past.
Removing the brain is the "only way to carry out the tests" according to a source for the Mirror. "The tissue has to be examined. I can't tell you how long that is going to take."
Jackson's funeral will begin with a closed-casket family service, followed by a Staples Centre memorial for more than 11,000 fans.

Magic Mirrors Part 2 : The Muse(ic)

In Magic Mirrors Part 1 I explored the themes of magic mirrors, disassociation (and/or dance), and dimensional traveling through Madonna's "Hung Up" music video. In Part 2 I will expand on those themes using Madonna's follow up music videos and performances for the songs "Sorry" and "Future Lovers". I will also include another music queen to show how different icons represent the same thing to different audiences.
The follow up single to "Hung Up" was "Sorry". In an interview the songs producer, Stuart Price, revealed that the production of the song was inspired by "Can You Feel It?" by the Jackson 5. He also revealed that "Can You Feel It?" is one of Madonna's favorite songs. A little known fact is that "Can You Feel It?" is sampled in Madonna's iconic song "Material Girl". Let's take a look at the lyrics to "Can You Feel It?".
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it?
If you look around
The whole world is coming together now
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Feel it in the air, the wind is taking it everywhere
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
All the colors of the world should be
Lovin' each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it's all right
Take my message to your brother and tell him twice
Spread the word and try to teach the man
Who's hating his brother, when hate won't do
When we're all the same, 'cause the
Blood inside me is inside you
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Sing out loud
Because we want to make a crowd
Touch a hand and sing a sound so pure, salvation rings
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
All the children of the world
Should be
Loving each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it's all right
Take my message to your brother and tell him twice
Take the news to the marching men
Who are killing their brothers, when death won't do
'Cause we're all the same
Yes, the blood inside me is inside of you
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Every breath you take
Is someone's death in another place
Every healthy smile
Is hunger and strife to another child
But the stars do shine
In promising salvation, is near this time
Can you feel it now
So brothers and sisters
Show we know how
Now tell me
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
All the children of the world
Should be
Loving each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it's all right
Take my message to your brother and tell him twice
Take the news to the marching men
Who are killing their brothers, when death won't do
'Cause we're all the same
Yes, the blood inside me is inside of you
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
Can you feel it, can you feel it, can you feel it
The lyrics seem to be about Michael's usual message of coming together and making the world a better place.
A short film was made for the song but it was never shown on air. A shorter version was shown in it's place.
Can You Feel It Short Film:




In this scene a bridge is lit up with rainbow colors which reminds me of this. Bridges represent transition; they take you from one side to the next. Bridges fit in perfectly with the rebirth theme.



From Wikipedia:
There are many variations of shamanism throughout the world; and several common beliefs are shared by all forms of shamanism. Common beliefs identified by Eliade (1964)[3] are the following:
- Spirits exist and they play important roles both in individual lives and in human society.
- The shaman can communicate with the spirit world.
- Spirits can be good or evil.
- The shaman can treat sickness caused by evil spirits.
- The shaman can employ trance inducing techniques to incite visionary ecstasy and go on "vision quests."
- The shaman's spirit can leave the body to enter the supernatural world to search for answers.
- The shaman evokes animal images as spirit guides, omens, and message-bearers.
- The shaman can tell the future, scry, throw bones/runes, and perform other varied forms of divination
Now isn't that right on target with the themes I've been exploring for the past month?




As most of you probably know, most logos have symbolic Occult and/or spiritual implications such as CBS with their eye logo. NBC was no different with their Peacock logo.
Here's Goldfrapp using the Peacock symbolism for the cover of their third album Supernature (interesting title).

The music video for the song "Sorry" was inspired by the 1970's rollerdisco musical Xanadu starring Olivia Newton-John. The title of the film Xanadu was inspired by the poem "Kubla Khan, or A Vision in a Dream. A Fragment". Keep in mind that the ending of the "Hung Up" video revealed that Madonna was dreaming and/or disassociated or astral traveling the entire video. Also remember that Shamans have the ability to go on "vision quests" (it's interesting that Madonna's first film was titled Vision Quest).
To add more weight onto this the poems author, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, claimed that the poem was inspired by an opium-induced dream. Many have speculated that the imagery of the poem stems from a waking hallucination, a lucid dream.
Madonna explored lucid dreams in the music video for "Bedtime Story" and of course I started the magic mirrors series with the "Bedtime Story" remix video.
Xanadu's Plot
Sonny Malone (Michael Beck) is a talented artist who dreams of fame beyond his job, which is the uncreative task of painting larger versions of album covers for record-store window advertisements. As the film opens, Sonny is broke and on the verge of giving up his dream. Having quit his day job to try to make a living as a freelance artist, but having failed to make any money at it, Sonny returns to his old job at AirFlo Records. After some humorous run-ins with his imperious boss and nemesis Simpson, he resumes painting record covers.
At work, Sonny is told to paint an album cover for a group called The Nine Sisters. The cover features a beautiful woman passing in front of an art deco auditorium (the Pan-Pacific Auditorium). This same woman collided with him earlier that day, kissed him, then roller-skated away, and Malone becomes obsessed with finding her. He finds her at the same (but now abandoned) auditorium as shown on the album cover. She identifies herself as Kira (Olivia Newton-John), but will tell him nothing else about herself. Unbeknownst to Sonny, Kira is one of nine mysterious and beautiful women who literally sprang to life from a local mural near the beach in town.
Sonny befriends a has-been big band orchestra leader-turned-construction mogul named Danny McGuire (Gene Kelly). Danny lost his muse in the 1940s; Sonny has not yet found his muse. Kira encourages the two men to form a partnership and open a nightclub at the old auditorium from the album cover. She falls in love with Sonny, and this presents a problem because she is actually an Olympian Muse (she is Terpsichore, the muse of dance). The other eight women from the beginning of the movie are her sisters and fellow goddesses, the Muses, and the mural is actually a portal of sorts and their point of entry to Earth.
As it turns out, the Muses visit Earth often to help inspire others to pursue their dreams and desires. But in Kira's case, she had broken the rules, as she was only meant to inspire Sonny, but ended up falling in love with him as well. Her parents (presumably the Greek gods Zeus and Mnemosyne) recall her to the timeless realm of the gods. Sonny follows through the mural and professes his love for her.
A short debate between Sonny and Zeus occurs with Mnemosyne interceding on Kira and Sonny's behalf. Kira then enters the discussion, saying that the emotions toward Sonny that she has experienced are new to her and asks if they could only have one more night together to let Sonny's dream of Xanadu becoming a success come true. But Zeus ultimately sends Sonny back to Earth. After Kira expresses her own feelings for Sonny in the song Suspended In Time, Zeus and Mnemosyne decide to let Kira go to him for a "moment, or maybe forever" (mortal time confuses them) and the audience is left to wonder her fate.
In the finale of the movie, Kira and the Muses perform for a packed house for Xanadu's grand opening, and after Kira's final song they return to the realm of the gods in spectacular fashion. Sonny is understandably depressed thereafter, but that quickly changes when Danny has one of the waitresses bring Sonny a drink. The waitress is an exact lookalike of Kira. Sonny approaches this enigmatic doppelgänger and says he would just like to talk to her. The film ends with the two of them talking, in silhouette, as the credits begin to roll.
A couple of things caught my attention with the plot of this film. First of all, Olivia Newton-John's character acts as a muse. As we established in Part 1, Madonna was a muse in the video for "Hung Up". Also there's mention of a "timeless realm of the Gods" which fits in with the repetive time references in a lot of Madonna's recent work.Finally, let's look at the music video for "Sorry".
Throughout this video there seems to be a "battle of the sexes". Both the men and the women try to have dominence over each other leading up to the battle in the cage towards the end of the video. At the end of the video they finally get into the van together and leave the radio behind.
During the Confessions tour Madonna premiered the music video above which was a video interlude of a remix for the song "Sorry". The video features a lot of images of destruction going on in the world. Could Madonna have subliminally been commenting on how the world is unbalanced all along with the Confessions album? Let me explain. Everything in this world is energy. Clearly, for most of this decade our world has been unbalanced. There has been an abundance of male energy (power, authority) and an intential supression of female energy (mothering, caring).
While this video interlude is playing, two dancers, one male and one female, perform on stage. They battle each other and the male dancer eventually over powers the female dancer and knocks her to the ground. Could Madonna's video be a visual representation of how spritually the energy of this world has been off balance this decade? Is art imitating life?
To be continued...

Enter A New Realm - Updated
Thursday, June 25, 2009
Same as it ever was.

This is going to be a bit of a stream of consciousness so bare with me.
Unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you've heard by now that Michael Jackson has died. Sadly, Farrah Fawcett died too, but her death was overshadowed by the passing of the King. It's sad that even the dead must compete for attention in this celebrity obsessed culture.
Death has been on my mind a lot lately. My father, who has been battling cancer for years, is finally dying. I am literally watching him disappear. Every bit of what defined my father to me is gone.
On the flip side, life has been on my mind a lot too. Watching my father die and the recent deaths of MJ and Farrah has made me realize that life is right now. This is something I've always known, but it's not something I always live by.
It feels like everything is ending for me. My father is dying and I'm losing a lot of old friends for various reasons. On the flip side I'm gaining a lot of new friends and doors are opening for me in terms of my career and life. Maybe that's what it's all about. To gain something you have to lose something. That's life. People die and babies are born. It's a cycle that never seems to end.
So right now, in this moment, there is nothing to fear. Outside forces and circumstances change form but I'm still here on my journey trying to make the most of it until I die.
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was. Peace.

Just Dance
Speaking of Madonna, her debut single, "Everybody", had a theme of dancing.
Lyrics:
[Spoken:]
I know you've been waiting, yeah
I've been watching you, yeah
I know you wanna get up, yeah
Come on
[Chorus:]
Everybody, come on, dance and sing
Everybody, get up and do your thing
Everybody, come on, dance and sing
Everybody, get up and do your thing
Let the music take control
Find a groove and let yourself go
When the room begins to sway
You know what I'm trying to say
Come on, take a chance
Get up and start the dance
Let the D.J. shake you
Let the music take you
[chorus]
Let your body take a ride
Feel the beat and step inside
Music makes the world go 'round
You can turn your troubles upside down
Gonna have to change your mind
Gonna leave your troubles behind
Your body gets the notion
When your feet can make the motion
[chorus, repeat]
Dance and sing, get up and do your thing [repeat 3 times]
[Spoken:]
I know you've been waiting, yeah, yeah
I see you sitting there, I've been watching you
Across the room, yeah, yeah
I've been watching you, I see you sitting there by yourself
Yeah, yeah
Come on, come on, come on
[chorus]
Let the music take control
Find a groove and let yourself go
When the room begins to sway
You know what I'm trying to say
[chorus, repeat and fade]
(Dance and sing, get up and do your thing) [in background]
Here is a picture of Madonna on the set of Desperately Seeking Susan. I'm pretty sure there's no need for me to explain the symbolism on her jacket.
Here's the film's plot:
Arquette plays Roberta, an unfulfilled suburban housewife living in Fort Lee, New Jersey, who is fascinated with a woman she only knows about by reading messages to and from her in the personals section of a New York City tabloid. This fascination reaches a peak when one such ad with the headline "Desperately Seeking Susan" proposes a rendezvous in Battery Park with the man who regularly seeks her. Roberta goes to Battery Park too, and gets a glimpse of the woman (played by Madonna) whose life so fascinates her. In a series of events involving mistaken identity, amnesia, and other farcical elements Roberta goes from voyeur to participant in an Alice in Wonderland-style plot, ostensibly motivated by the search for a pair of stolen Egyptian earrings.
In the movie Roberta hits her head and loses her memory. In the process she takes on Susan's identity and has no memory of her past. That in itself is similar to MK. All of the Egyptian iconography and distorted identities makes me question what message this movie really sent. What's even more strange is how millions of girl themselves began seeking "Susan", or Madonna, after watching this movie. There began to be what the media dubbed as "Madonna wannabes"; girls who dressed, talked, and behaved just like Madonna. Madonna's music video for "Dress You Up" documented the craze.
The similarities between real life and the movie, were they coincidence or the result of mass programming? I believe the latter. Madonna mania was simply Beatle mania for another generation. "Dance" was the new "Beat". The trend is continuing too. If you seek Amy you're still seeking Susan, there's just a different blonde icon programming you to do so. Both the movie and the music video for "If U Seek Amy" program young girls with the idea that they are either the perfect housewife or a rebellious loose woman. Young girls of course will choose the second choice because it seems more like freedom than being a housewife.
Madonna actually has a song called "Triggering". Of course code words are used to trigger different alters.
Bringing it back to more modern times, our latest pop sensation is Lady Gaga. Of course we all know she rose to fame with her hit single "Just Dance". The lyrics themselves hint at memory loss and a lack of self control.
Red One
Convict
Gaga
I've had a little bit too much(much)
All of the people start to rush.
Start to rush babe.
How does he twist the dance?
Can't find my drink or man.
Where are my keys, I lost my phone.
What's go-ing out on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.
Chorus:
Just Dance. Gunna be okay.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Spin that record babe.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Gunna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Dance. Dance. Dance. Ju-just dance.
Lady Gaga:
Wish I could shut my playboy mouth. (mouth)
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? Inside out babe.
Control your poison babe
Roses with thorns they say.
And we're all gettin' hosed tonight.
What's go-ing out on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.
[Chorus]
Colby Donis:
When I come through on the dance floor checkin out that catalogue.
Can't believe my eyes so many women without a flaw.
And I ain't gonn' give it up, steady tryna pick it up like the car
I'ma hit it, I'ma hit it and flex until the til done until tomorr' yeah.
Shawty I can see that you got so much in the jean
The way you twirling up them hips round and round
There's no reason, I know why you can't leave here with me
In the meantime stand, let me watch you break it down.
[Chorus]
Lady Gaga:
I'm psychotic synchypnotic
I got my blue burners and phonic
I'm psychotic synchypnotic
I got my brand electronic
I'm psychotic synchypnotic
I got my blue burners and phonic
I'm psychotic synchypnotic
I got my brand electronic
Go. Use your muscle comin out work and hustle
I got it, just stay close enough to get it
Go slow. Drive it, clean it like so clean it's been molesto, I got it, and your popped coll'
[Chorus]
What really made the programming obvious were the blatant MK themes in the music video.






Beyonce
Madonna
Rihanna


There's loads more, like the girl staring hypnotically into a TV screen, but I want to get to other artists so I'll keep it moving.
Here's another video called "Fancy Footwork" by Electro/Dance band Chromeo. The term fancy footwork has been used for years and means dance. Of course the theme of the song is dance.

The zig zag floor was also used for Kerli's MK themed video "Walking On Air".
By the way, why do she, Lady Gaga, and Hanna Montana have the same hair? But anyway...

The next video is by Janet Jackson. It's from her flop album Damita Jo (Damita is her alter ego like Sasha Fierce is for Beyonce). Damita Jo was her first album after the 2004 Superbowl mega ritual with Justin Timberlake. The lyrics, like Gaga's, are about a lack of control while dancing.
This is sick
"Attention it's time to dance..."
[Chorus]
Work it like you're working a pole
Shake it 'til you're shaking the floor
Pop it like you're poppin' a cork
Don't Stop, Don't Stop
Jerk it like you're making it choke
Break it like you're breakin' a code
Drop it till you're taking it lower
Drop it, drop it...
This is serious
I'm delirious
So oblivious
I could dance all night
With you
As long as its funky
This rhythm just makes me high I'm like a junkie
I could dance all night
[Chorus]
So intoxicated
I'm so stimulated
Fell so X-rated
I could dance all night
As long as it's funky
This rhythm just makes me high
I'm like a junkie
I could dance all night
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Everybody on the floor (Let's go)
Let's get hardcore (Get low)
Make my sweat pour (Oh no)
Don't stop (Gimme some more)
Ooh my body's yours (spank that)
Spank that back door (like that)
Drive me like a Porsche' (yea)
I could dance all night
Can we take this party higher?
Now just put your hands to the sky and
Clap, clap, clap, clap
I could dance all night
[Chorus (repeat)]
[Repeat Chorus]



Or not...
Here are the lyrics to "Gimme More".
(It's Britney, bitch)
(I see you, and I just wanna dance with you)
Everytime they turn the lights down
Just wanna go that extra mile for you
Public display of affection
Feel's like no one else in the room (The room)
We can get down like there's no one around
We'll keep on rockin' (We'll keep on rockin')
We'll keep on rockin' (Keep on rockin')
Cameras are flashing my way dirty dancing
They keep watchin' (They keep watchin')
Keep watchin
Feel's like the crowd is saying
[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more
Center of attention ('tention)
Even when they're up against the wall
You got me in a crazy position (Yeah)
If you're on a mission (Uh-uh)
You got my permission (Oh)
We can get down like there's no one around
We'll keep on rockin' (Keep on rockin')
We'll keep on rockin', rockin' (Uh-uh)
Cameras are flashing my way dirty dancing
They keep watchin' (Wait)
Keep watchin
(Feel's like the crowd is saying)
[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)

(I just can't control myself, oh)
(They want more? Well I'll give'em more, oh!)
[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more (Gimme more)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more (Ooh)

The incredible Lygo
The lengendary Miss Britney Spears, haha
And the unstoppable Danja
Ha, you gonna have to remove me
Cause I ain't goin' no where, haha
(More)
More lack of control.
Click here to view the video. I'm not going to do very many screen caps because the entire video is pretty much her dancing around a strip pole. As for the symbolism, there's two Britney's, one blonde, one with black hair, of course there's the mirrors, and check out one of her dancers in a checkerboard outfit.

Beyonce is someone I have not featured on here as much as I should considering her huge popularity and major symbolism. Perhaps I am being biased because she's so hot and talented. Her song "Get Me Bodied" is about dancing. By the way, bodied is slang for death so I'm not really sure why they choose those lyrics.






Next up we have Michael Jackson with Blood On The Dance Floor. MJ has been MK and Illuminati controlled since his childhood. Neverland is another Oz, Wonderland; more programming. Check out these pictures from throughout his career.
As you can see above, the Blood On The Dance Floor album itself features Michael in red dancing on a checkerboard floor.
The music video is highly symbolic. It features a lot of duality, a lady in red, spirals and a lot of other symbolism. During this time MJ was clearly rebelling against his programming and the dark establishment behind his success. Of course all of those songs flopped while the period of his career where he was fully a tool was one of the most iconic times in popular culture.

Blue & Red - Duality


Also notice the lady in red is holding the light throughout the video as they are all desperately seeking Susie.
Last but not least is Kylie Minogue with "Your Disco Needs You". The song is from from her album Light Years. The title reminds me of Pseudo-Occult Media's recent blog where Ben discussed NASA/Space programming. Anyway, the song calls for it's listens to "dance through all our fears" while at war; basically disassociate. Forget about the war and everything else that's going on in the world, just dance! As you should expect the video is completely MK.
Desperately seeking someone, willing to travel...
You're a slave to the rhythm
You're a lonely heart




The spoken section of the song which is French was originally recorded in German which makes me believe Hitler was the original inspiration behind the song. The translation is: You're never alone / You know what you must do / Don't let your country down / Your disco needs you!
Honestly, how many more clues do you need. There is a subliminal war theme behind this song and the video is blatant MK.
On her recent X tour (VERY symbolic album title) Kylie performed "Your Disco Needs You".

So those are our "fun" songs about dance. The music videos features themes such as war, slavery, and even murder. Why such dark themes for songs that are suppose to be about dancing and enjoying yourself?
