OK

OK, I'll agree with that...with the clarification that not all content conveyed in said media has been manipulated.

I haven't read that one yet...but I have read a lot of DW's opinions. I offer the alternative suggestion that, rather than assuming that all those movies, tv shows etc. have the same agenda, maybe it's simply that these themes are in the mass consciousness, and movie producers are picking up on that.
We've all experienced suddenly thinking of something (a song, a book, an idea, whatever) then suddenly seeing it several times over the next few days. It's just the thoughform floating around in the mass consciousness.
Having said that, I do agree that there's manipulation going on in the pop music industry. Not to be confused with genuine artists! I just read the article about Christina Aguillar and was horrified! Yes, I agree, it's quite clear that the imagery and symbolism used are intentional, and I doubt it's from Christina's creative mind. I found it all very creepy! (But then, I tend to find most pop music creepy anyway, for various reasons.)
These pop stars aren't genuine musicians, or if they are, their creativity has been largely suppressed, in favor of manufactured syrup with little or no musical value, in my opinion.
Genuine artists, on the other hand, write their own music, injecting their own passion into it, and it shows.
I don't pay attention to pop music. There is too much authentic music out there to waste time on manufactured pop.
(This is just my highly biased opinion on music and not intended to offend anyone - music is highly subjective and as a serious music connoisseur I readily admit to being very opinionated about it!)
It would behoove anyone into pop to investigate this info, as I could tell just from that one article you posted, that there does seem to be some blatant manipulation going on, using magickal symbolism etc.
Hi Monica, I really don't want to horrify you with this stuff. It can be very very heavy as I said. So much so that it really can affect a persons free will. Which is why I prefaced my original post with that disclaimer. There is alot of positive in the music industry and other forms of media. Partly due to positive factions and partly because people are so hungry for that content.
My personal take on heavy metal music is that, if I can turn on the television and see nothing but fear, materialism, superficiality, lust, violence, ego and various illuminati philosophies and agendas with almost every single "program", then if I can go to the video store and see the same thing everywhere (which I did recently and it was appalling) and I can turn on most popular music and hear the same thing, and heavy metal artists are promoting these things as well it's a long jump for me to assume that they are not part of it.
I think there are people who are essentially nihilists who basically believe that morals are a manifestation of weak mindedness, and believe they need to do whatever it takes to fight to the top and 'win'. Basically they are totally STS. If they need to release genetically engineered bioweapons in Africa they will do it, if they need to kill millions of people with various wars they will do it, if they need totally manipulate the public through the media, the food system, the education system and various other means they will absolutely do it.
Here is that post by David Wilcock
Quote:WE CHOSE TO WORK TOGETHER TO HELP CHANGE THINGS
We now both feel that we chose to do this work together before we ever got here, as in Wanderer Awakening we're combining many newly-written songs with other appropriate material from Larry's private collection -- over 40 cassette tapes' worth of amazing, unreleased music, not counting reel-to-reel, eight track, two-inch tape and digital multitrack recording masters -- dating back some 40 years in time.
I am deeply honored that Larry has chosen me to be the lead-singer and co-writer's voice through which this incredible treasure-trove of 'lost' original music will be presented to the world, as there is a desperate need for new music that sounds as good as the classics everyone's now chasing down through Itunes and the like.
The negative elite controllers in this world saw the power of music to change society with the rise of Woodstock, and according to multiple insider testimonies, including ex-"Illuminati" whistleblowers, the Charles Manson murders were deliberately engineered to destroy the momentum for social change that the hippie movement had created.
This further consolidated in ensuing decades as music was gradually watered down to those products that focused on dark, self-destructive lower-chakra and 'evil' themes (much of 80s rock and to some degree, 90s 'grunge' and alternative), sex (super-hot men and women with enough talent to carry erotic, soft-porn songs and videos) and violence (such as 'gangsta rap' and the like.)
COUNTRY MUSIC: SOCIAL ENGINEERING?
In private conversation Larry has told me a similar type of 'social engineering' seems to be in place with country music, where in addition to driving home the standard Republican Fundamentalist Christian values, there is ongoing repetition of an overarching Theme:
- The man is a beer-drinking redneck who revels in the simple, often self-destructive pleasures of a country boy;
- The woman is his more-intelligent sidekick who puts up with his childish BS but likes to complain about it;
- The man ultimately defers to her, acknowledges she is a lot smarter and more mature, but resents his sense of lost masculinity in the process;
- He supplies her endless new dramas along the way, including alcoholism and infidelity, perpetuating their cycle of unhappiness.
In music the cycle goes on, and they usually end up staying together, but in real life these toxic tension-resolution cycles tear families and relationships apart -- and by extension, our society as a whole.
Of course, as I pointed out in that conversation, there are many exceptions with truly great songs about love, family and being a good father, and Larry said yes -- those songs end up being huge hits, because everyone is so hungry for that content.
THE 70S... AND WHY THEY ARE STILL RELEVANT
I still consider the 70s as the true golden era of recorded music, where so much money was flowing through the industry that many various projects were recorded that would never have gotten a chance in later eras.
The 'social engineering' aspect of the music industry was starting to seep in, but hadn't really taken hold at this point due to the massive diversity of material being released, and the speed with which the money was being pocketed.
Lots of great content made its way through to the listener in a dazzling array of genres, and I'm still discovering amazing 'new' material from the 70s the more I research it.
The fierce competition and explosive growth of live music groups, particularly after the amazing social ramifications of Woodstock as I wrote in an earlier David's Blog entry, also led to musicians becoming much more advanced than what now often passes for music -- though there are many delightful exceptions for those willing to explore.
As I've said before, the proficiency started tapering off more and more as the 80s gave rise to the industry putting preferential weight on looks, and 'sure-fire' formulaic songwriting, over craft and musicianship.
MICHAEL JACKSON: A GAME-CHANGER
One could argue that Michael Jackson's unbelievably profitable album "Thriller" -- beginning with its first enormous hit, "Billie Jean" -- really was the turning-point in which everyone realized that the biggest bucks could be made in combining looks, dancing and photogenic sass in music videos with the existing musical content itself.
"Thriller" was the most profitable music project in human history. The whole scope of what it meant to be a recording artist fundamentally changed.
Working in the film industry myself, I have seen firsthand how readily producers chase after trends in the hopes of cashing in as much as possible -- and Michael Jackson, with the unprecedented amount of spinoffs being generated including multi-zippered red leather jackets, single rhinestone gloves and their many facsimiles, Pepsi endorsements, arena tours, you name it -- triggered the industry equivalent of a massive gold rush.
Within a short time this music-video revolution led to a new fixation: if you didn't have a highly attractive physical appearance, and the ability to dance your @$$ off in most genres besides rock and country, you barely had a chance. Then one could argue the rise of pre-recorded 'loops' further eliminated the need for aspiring musicians to spend years developing their facility on an instrument.
