At it’s best, conspiracy theory can take on the quality of a “trial by fear.” The unnerving cognitive dissonance between the information and interpretations it presents and what is shelled out by corporate/governmental media and schooling can seriously scare the shit out of someone. This, in turn, can loosen up perceptual imprints and make way [...]

Michael Jackson Died A Long Time Ago
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, celebrity idolatry, pop culture, religious history on June 26, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Around these parts, we honor the dead by consuming their image and their artifacts.
Just like Biggie, Tupac, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Elvis, his death has led to a massive uptick in record sales. Thus, he has been granted a sort of Spectacular Immortality.
And just like so many celebrity totems, in death all his sins, real [...]
Do Trey Parker & Matt Stone Read Waking the Midnight Sun? Or Is It Just Synchronicity?
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, celebrity idolatry, conspiracy poetics, high weirdness, media, pop culture, sacrificial goddesses on March 21, 2008 | 12 Comments »
Just got tipped off by regular reader, Costumeoff, about the latest episode of South Park. Imagine my surprise to hear about Matt Stone and Trey Parker touching upon Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and…ritual sacrifice. Maybe, this insight is simply in the air now, having penetrating the veil. With satire and cartoon kids, [...]
All The Hottest, Hippest Young People versus The Whitest, Dorkiest “Average” People
Posted in celebrity idolatry, media, politics, pop culture, propaganda on February 25, 2008 | 11 Comments »
Submitted for your analysis: the hottest, hippest, young people and a moving, cinematic montage fit for an Oscar-winning film’s promotional package or a Gap ad; versus the Whitest and Dorkiest of white and non-white people with lower producution values, less sex appeal, and inspirational power of the 1985 New England Patriot’s answer to the Super [...]
Magician King Scapegoat President
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, celebrity idolatry, conspiracy poetics, politics, religious history on January 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
As the whole dog-and-pony show of the presidential (s)election season heats up, I’m re-reading the abridged version of Frazier’s Golden Bough. Specifically, I’ve been going over the section entitled “MAGICIANS AS KINGS.” As always, reading Frazier is illuminating for the unspoken connections it demonstrates for me between the magical and so-called primitive past [...]
A Circle of Protection for Britney

Kudos to Ty Brown at Dreamsend for this great essay. It’s nice to see someone has come around to seeing in this Britney Spears spectacle as the kind of destructive magic I’ve been noticing. (Not that I really needed anyone else to see it to intuit the dark truth I’ve noticed, but [...]
Britney Spears: The Continuing Ritual Sacrifice of the Representative Goddess

I didn’t want to write about this stuff again because I’m not sure that it’s helpful. But, as far as I see it, it’s a reality that is going on.
At least Ty Brown is beginning to see this, albeit from his own somewhat different angle.
Britney has been propped up as a representation of a [...]
Will Chip-Enhanced Athletes Be Touted as the Solution to Performance-Enhanced Ones?

Perhaps the whole distraction-story about steroid use in professional sports is even less about the drugs than I supposed. Perhaps, it’s all about surveillance–of the doped athletes and the duped fans alike.
Microchips anyone?
The entire spectacle surrounding Barry Bonds and, more recently, Roger Clemens in particular and steroid/human-growth hormone use in general among professional athletes [...]
Trapped in the Spectacle: Bill Maher and The Truthers
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, celebrity idolatry, conspiracy poetics, media, politics, pop culture, propaganda, sub cult-sure on October 23, 2007 | 7 Comments »
We’ve gone from tazering seemingly conspiracy-oriented college students while the “audience” of fellow students and administrators do nothing, to having audiences cheer at a live taping of Real Time when Bill Maher helps remove “9-11 Truthers” from his studio.
Amazing how quickly the (short-) attention economy of Spectacle moves.
What’s telling are two remarks Maher made during [...]
Burroughs and Bowie Agree: Andy Warhol Was a Lizard!
Posted in Consciousness & Alternate Perception, celebrity idolatry, occult, pop culture on October 12, 2007 | 6 Comments »
I recently found an old Rolling Stone interview from 1974 between William S. Burroughs and David Bowie and some befuddled rock journalist who comes off as a total third wheel. At the time that this rock journalist set up the meeting, the two weren’t all too familiar with each other’s work. Bowie had never [...]
