Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio, and.
Speaker 2: We are back with Isaac Wishaup, founder of Illuminati Watcher
Speaker 2: dot com, host of the Occult Symbolism and pop culture podcast,
Speaker 2: author of The Dark Path, Aliens UFOs and The Occult
Speaker 2: Kubrick's Code, the Star Wars Conspiracy. We were talking about
Speaker 2: pop culture as mass ritual events. So let's talk about
Speaker 2: the Grammys. For example, I'm as a casual observer of
Speaker 2: the Grammys, I've noticed, not fully understanding what's going on
Speaker 2: on the surface, would seemed like some pretty bizarre, cryptic
Speaker 2: on stage performances. And we'll also talk about the halftime
Speaker 2: show at the Super Bowl where we see the same thing.
Speaker 2: Let's dial it back to the this year's Grammy Grammys.
Speaker 2: What did you What did you see that kind of
Speaker 2: stood out as as you know, in terms of occult symbolism.
Speaker 3: So at the latest Grammys, it was actually the sixty
Speaker 3: six Grammys. But what the reason we bring out is
Speaker 3: because when you study synchro mysticism and how, you know,
Speaker 3: how all these secret societies sort of view the world
Speaker 3: through numerology and things like this, the numbers and the
Speaker 3: dates of rituals kind of it matters to them. So
Speaker 3: the sixty six Grammys is interesting because of in Kabbalah,
Speaker 3: there's sixty six fallen angels on what they call the
Speaker 3: dark side of the Tree of Life. And it's again
Speaker 3: this idea of a sort of we talked about earlier
Speaker 3: about how we suppress the shadow or the darkness, and
Speaker 3: a lot of occultists are all about trying to sort
Speaker 3: of embrace the darkness. So it's just kind of a
Speaker 3: play on that we could start out with. But the
Speaker 3: first performance was dual lipa, and when you watch a performance,
Speaker 3: when you know what to look for, you can see
Speaker 3: these things that she was in a red and black
Speaker 3: cube and then she was on top of what was
Speaker 3: a flattened hexagram, like a six sided a hexagram, but
Speaker 3: a hextagram is actually a flattened three dimensional cube if
Speaker 3: you look at it correctly. So when we see the
Speaker 3: symbolism of Saturn show up, they're you know, threefold there
Speaker 3: with the colors and the two cubes. That tells me
Speaker 3: this is a little bit more of that sort of
Speaker 3: embracing the adversary or the antinomianism thing. Because this goes
Speaker 3: back to you know, I don't want to go too
Speaker 3: deep on it, but this goes back to the ideas
Speaker 3: of the creation of the universe and the occult concepts,
Speaker 3: which was like they looked at the world as the
Speaker 3: Sun versus Saturn in a way, and Saturn at the
Speaker 3: time was the furthest planet they could see, so it
Speaker 3: was considered sort of like the darkness, the outcast, the
Speaker 3: adversary planet. So they utilize a lot of symbolism of Saturn.
Speaker 3: There's a variety of explanations for it. You know, oftentimes
Speaker 3: you'll see the black cube. But there's there's a whole
Speaker 3: fraternal organizations of ritual magic, you know, like the Brotherhood
Speaker 3: of Saturn, and they incorporate a lot of free Masonic
Speaker 3: ideas and things like that, but the whole idea of
Speaker 3: the Brotherhood of Saturn is the same, the same concept
Speaker 3: of you know, you need darkness. They say that darkness
Speaker 3: precedes light to provide a matrix for the manifestation of
Speaker 3: light in the Brotherhood of Saturn. And that's kind of why,
Speaker 3: you know, am I saying Dua Lipa is practicing ritual
Speaker 3: magic now? But I am saying that a lot of
Speaker 3: people that put together these sets. They are aware of
Speaker 3: how they can charge up symbols and sigils by getting
Speaker 3: all of these people to watch this event. And and
Speaker 3: you know, Carl Young did some studies on this stuff,
Speaker 3: and there's he he had this view that the the mind,
Speaker 3: there's three parts of the mind, the conscious, the personal unconscious,
Speaker 3: and the collective unconscious. And he believed that the group mind,
Speaker 3: this collective unconscious that we all share, there's certain archetypes
Speaker 3: and symbols that we all connect with, whether we know
Speaker 3: it or not. So these rituals that they conduct, they
Speaker 3: actually do something on a subconscious level on the mass.
Speaker 3: And so we're all focusing on this concept of Saturn,
Speaker 3: which in the occult it represents chaos and things like this.
Speaker 3: So and again we're talking about ritual magic. They do
Speaker 3: this because they want to charge up the sigil of Saturn.
Speaker 3: They want to charge up chaos. So the to what ends?
Speaker 2: To what end?
Speaker 3: It's always about it's always about having a global A
Speaker 3: global government is where that's where it all ends. It's
Speaker 3: it's this establishment of a universal regime, the empire over
Speaker 3: the whole world. Manley pee Hall talked about this, and
Speaker 3: he's said, you read some of his lectures, he says that,
Speaker 3: you know, man isn't wise enough to control himself, and
Speaker 3: we man the p hall, we meaning the elites, the occultists,
Speaker 3: the illuminati, whoever you want to say that they should
Speaker 3: govern us like we're the sheep, right like in free
Speaker 3: Masonry they have the apron with the sheep's wool, because
Speaker 3: the Free Masons, when you get up high enough, allegedly
Speaker 3: they say that that's their true sort of viewpoint of us,
Speaker 3: the profane. We're just out here, you know, wasting their
Speaker 3: We're here to be the slave shall serve. As Alistair
Speaker 3: Crowley once said, it's kind of their attitude towards us.
Speaker 2: So if that's the endgame. And again the the artists
Speaker 2: isn't necessarily aware. They're just told, what, okay, we've built
Speaker 2: this set. We want you to stand here, we want
Speaker 2: you to move your arms this way. We want you to,
Speaker 2: I don't know, make the sign the symbol of a
Speaker 2: pyramid with your fingers and put it over your eye
Speaker 2: and flash these illumine signs. So the and this is
Speaker 2: the this is the prerequisite for the artists to i know,
Speaker 2: climb the ladder to success. They have to play along
Speaker 2: with with this scheme.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, you got it. That's exactly how That's
Speaker 3: how I view it from researching this for thirteen years now.
Speaker 3: That's how a lot of serious discussed this. Even even
Speaker 3: Dave Chappelle talks about it. Not on that level, but
Speaker 3: Dave Chappelle talked about how the people that were running
Speaker 3: Hollywood when he was having his issues, you know, they
Speaker 3: were telling him he needed to wear a dress, and
Speaker 3: he refused to do so, and he implies that something
Speaker 3: darker happened. He never came out and officially said it.
Speaker 3: He kind of he kind of talked about it in
Speaker 3: one of the stand up specials. And then Kat Williams
Speaker 3: this year recently he had a big show on what
Speaker 3: do you call it? Club and he said the same
Speaker 3: exact thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, these wear a dress to humiliate. Is that
Speaker 2: what you call a humiliation ritual?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Right, yeah, And that's again it's a bit of
Speaker 3: antinomianism in there with the idea of breaking the cultural
Speaker 3: or social norms. There's a little bit of humiliation ritual
Speaker 3: and the idea that they, the the elites want these
Speaker 3: artists to know that they will be, you know, doing
Speaker 3: whatever it is that they're told to do whether they
Speaker 3: like it or not, because they you know, these are
Speaker 3: gatekeepers to take them to the next level. And that's
Speaker 3: why Kat Williams was saying Kevin Hart and I like
Speaker 3: all these guys. I'm not I'm not talking trash. I'm
Speaker 3: just repeating what Kat Williams claimed. Kat Williams was saying
Speaker 3: that Kevin Hart played ball. And look at how popular
Speaker 3: Kevin Hart is. He's all over the place.
Speaker 2: I have to be careful with this one because she
Speaker 2: has her followers are legion at Taylor Swift and you'll
Speaker 2: tell us how she got you banned from YouTube here
Speaker 2: in a moment. Taylor Swift, you know, I'm no arguing
Speaker 2: with with her talent. It's not my cup of tea,
Speaker 2: but who cares. She seems to be involved with some numerology.
Speaker 2: Talk to me about about numerology and Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I stually had the same opinion as you.
Speaker 3: I find her song it's pretty catchy. It's not my
Speaker 3: cup of tea, But I certainly don't have a problem
Speaker 3: with Taylor Swift or her music. But I have had
Speaker 3: my troubles with Taylor Swift's management team in the past.
Speaker 3: I've gotten canceled off of YouTube because I, you know,
Speaker 3: I was pointing out symbolism that you could find in
Speaker 3: her music videos and there was a problem with that apparently.
Speaker 3: So the yeah, she recently her big thing is the
Speaker 3: number thirteen. She says that thirteen is a her lucky number.
Speaker 3: She had recently at that sixty Sift Grammys. Ironically, we
Speaker 3: just talked about this. She won her thirteen Granny. And
Speaker 3: in terms of numerology, they consider and I've got this
Speaker 3: book called Occult Holidays and Sabots, the number thirteen. They
Speaker 3: consider it divine by the occultists because in the Bible,
Speaker 3: thirteen apparently means rebellion against constituted authority, and it represents
Speaker 3: the depravity that calls satan to rebel against God. And
Speaker 3: they also talk about how in the occult numerology they
Speaker 3: assigned six to represent the number of man and the
Speaker 3: number seven to represent the number of define perfection, and
Speaker 3: a person who would climb what they called Jacob's ladder
Speaker 3: towards self perfection. You know, you do six plus seventy,
Speaker 3: he was thirteen, all right.
Speaker 2: And none of this is to suggest that Taylor Swift
Speaker 2: is a Satanist. It's I mean, what are we saying here, Well, it's.
Speaker 3: Don't I don't think she's People say that she looks
Speaker 3: identical to Anton Levet's daughter. She actually does, but I
Speaker 3: don't believe that that's really I don't believe their father
Speaker 3: is Anton Lavay. But I do think that the handlers, right,
Speaker 3: the people kind of running her business. They probably say,
Speaker 3: because I've been told by lots of people who are
Speaker 3: connected to other people, they say, Look a lot of
Speaker 3: these politicians and stuff, they're really into these occult practices
Speaker 3: in astrology, right. A lot of people read their astrology reports,
Speaker 3: and politicians will introduce certain legislation on certain dates based
Speaker 3: on astrology where the planets are aligned and such, because
Speaker 3: they do think that these kinds of ideas hold weight.
Speaker 3: So I would argue that the people her management team
Speaker 3: are aware of all this numerology, like, for instance, she
Speaker 3: released her latest album on April nineteenth, and that's the
Speaker 3: first day in a thirteen day Satanic ritual leading up
Speaker 3: to May Day or Belt Team or Valpurgis Night, which
Speaker 3: is a holiday celebrated by the Church of Satan and
Speaker 3: stuff like this. But I do think that it's no
Speaker 3: different than the politicians trying to find no different than politicians,
Speaker 3: or no different than people who just read daily astrology
Speaker 3: and you know, the astrology will say, hey, today's a
Speaker 3: great day to try to really, you know, make that
Speaker 3: change happen in your workplace today or whatever, and they okay,
Speaker 3: and then then they manifested and then it happens. Right.
Speaker 3: I think it's no different. I think Taylor Swift is
Speaker 3: you know, maybe maybe she's right into the exact things
Speaker 3: of what they're doing. Maybe she isn't. I know that
Speaker 3: a lot of her music videos have been more leaning
Speaker 3: towards pagan concepts in the past, so I wouldn't be
Speaker 3: shocked if if Taylor Swift was in fact going along
Speaker 3: with some of this astrologies.
Speaker 2: Though, how much of the artists participation, let's go back
Speaker 2: to sort of you know, flashing the Illuminati signs and
Speaker 2: so forth. How much of that is just trying to
Speaker 2: is a marketing ploy playing into the uh, you know,
Speaker 2: the sort of the I'm a bad boy, I'm I'm
Speaker 2: flirting with the dark side, and how much of it
Speaker 2: is genuine real?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that's that's one of those million dollar questions,
Speaker 3: because I do think both of those things happened. I
Speaker 3: think some sometimes it's more clear that. For instance, there
Speaker 3: was a rapper he did a whole album. I think
Speaker 3: it was Abs Soul. He was kind of more of
Speaker 3: an underground rapper, so that was a lot of hip hop,
Speaker 3: and he had a whole album. I think it was
Speaker 3: called Do Without Wilt, and the whole thing was dedicated
Speaker 3: to Alistair Crowley, and he seemed very much to be
Speaker 3: into the occult, whereas some of these other folks, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I think they're trying to just sell an image.
Speaker 3: So it's really hard to tell. But I think ultimately
Speaker 3: the people who co opt it and use it just
Speaker 3: for an image, I think there's still a line and
Speaker 3: you know, making that sort of faustian bargain in some ways,
Speaker 3: I think you got to be careful with that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff, you know. And speaking of Ice or Not,
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift, she was hanging out you're talking about people
Speaker 3: just doing the cymbals on TV. She was in the
Speaker 3: press box with Ice Spice, another rapper during the Super Bowl,
Speaker 3: and there was this sort of famous viral video of
Speaker 3: Ice Pikes wearing this inverted cross necklace and she acted
Speaker 3: like she was choking herself with it for a second,
Speaker 3: and you know, here's it's a great example because the.
Speaker 4: Super Bowl is like the most washed event of the year,
Speaker 4: and you have all these people focusing their energy on it,
Speaker 4: right and you know, you're focusing your energy on an
Speaker 4: inverted cross.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, and take from that what you will,
Speaker 3: what people want to believe in. But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I do question. And then she makes the sign of
Speaker 3: the devil horns, you know, like the rock and roll
Speaker 3: cornudo hands they call that. So I don't know a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff I think leads down dark roads, is
Speaker 3: all I think.
Speaker 2: When we talk about the super Bowl halftime, I don't
Speaker 2: know how many hundreds of millions, maybe a billion. I
Speaker 2: don't know what the ratings are. But you know, not
Speaker 2: only the people there live, but people around the world
Speaker 2: watching the halftime show of the super Bowl and they're
Speaker 2: performing perhaps these rituals on stage, whether the artist is
Speaker 2: aware or what have you. When you have that many
Speaker 2: eyes focused on something, does it can it manifest something?
Speaker 2: And what are they trying to manifest?
Speaker 3: I think the stats were for a thirty second commercial
Speaker 3: this year the super Bowl, it was upwards seven million
Speaker 3: dollars and The reason these companies would spend that amount
Speaker 3: of money is because they know that it's worth it
Speaker 3: in the end for their product. Right. And it's it's
Speaker 3: a form of alchemy. It's a form of converting energy
Speaker 3: into money. Right. It's no different than the alchemists who
Speaker 3: are trying to turn lead into gold. Uh. They know
Speaker 3: what they're doing and and you know the exact science
Speaker 3: of it. Like if you if you say, you said, okay, okay,
Speaker 3: I think mister smart guy proved this. We're going to
Speaker 3: give you a thirty second Super Bowl commercial and you
Speaker 3: find a way to manifest seven million dollars out of that.
Speaker 3: I would know how to do that exactly. But but
Speaker 3: you know, these these people aren't they're they're not stupid.
Speaker 3: They understand marketing. They understand how we as the masses,
Speaker 3: how we think. And you know, they know that planting these.
Speaker 5: Symbols of their products, their logos, they put a lot
Speaker 5: of thought into these logos. They know to plant these
Speaker 5: logos into our subconscious or the collective unconscious, it's it's
Speaker 5: worth it. It's worth that seven million dollar price tag.
