Madonna’s NFL Satanic Ritual disguised as Church Music. by Nicolas Duplessis. 
(The Illuminati always has to do its rituals between the New Moon and Full Moon. The Full Moon is in 2 more days, so it is their time for rituals & what better place than a Half Time show with millions of people?)
(Madonna opened with a Roman Theme but she didnt have a Roman Helmet, instead she had a ritual Lucifer horned crown of gold!)
(Madonna used Satan horns for her opening act)
(The male dancers in Act 2 (Track: Music) made a quick pyramid and Madonna slithered through the pyramid like a snake. The pyramid in the photo is Satan’s Pyramid and an occult seal used to invoke Satan during rituals.)
(Light sticks are used in Illuminati Rituals, to worship Lucifer, and they are often held by the observers of the rituals, as a way of participating. )
(To worship Lucifer, one must wear mostly red and black. Madonna had on a black robe but the entire color scheme of the entire show was blk/red if you take into account her dancers starting in the second part of Act 2 with the cheer-leader rappers)

Was the DAs office In On It? Again, only allegations, no trial(s). And the only charges were dropped, twice, and Aquino wasn't even the one charged. Again, I say I don't know him. Maybe he did it, maybe not. I"m not going to give him a pass just because. But I am not going to say he did it just because there are allegations. If he was a pedophile, he'd still be doing it. AFAIK there is no stopping them, short of imprisonment or at the end of a rope. Are there any more recent allegations? NOt that I know of. -------------------------------------------------------- I’ve known quite number of Christians that were very decent people. The very few Satanists that I’ve encountered in my life and all of the ones that I’ve encountered in writing were assholes. (You’ll forgive any sins in sampling error I commit here.) This is explicable in that, by all accounts, the story of Satan is in essence one of rebellion, and the Satanist is in creed and practice, whatever that may be, a perpetual adolescent. The architecture of Christianity, OTOH, is such as to form a dependable citizenry under a unified ethic whose members are able to defer gratification of their natural desires, breed productively but with prudence, and generally live with some faith in the future. These are some of the cornerstones upon which a civilization is built. There are always those that rebel. Like the poor, they are always with us. And, as far as we can see, that is how it ever will be.

Fundamentalism defined. The correct plural is "assholies". Much of this thread reminds me of the following Trading Spouses episode... www.youtube.com/watch? v=q3mDLsyn6ns Embedding disabled, so I linked it. Dependable? If you are depending on them to commit mass murder (fuck that, lets just call it genocide) then they are dependable. They have proven their dependability many times. Christians don't build civilizations. They destroy them. They'll destroy this one too, if they get their way. Christians didn't "defer gratification of their natural desires". They call those natural desires "sins" and think people are going to be tortured in hell for them. To a christian, it is a sin to be human. What other religion says people are born in sin? Only a jew could come up with something that twisted. They had to have faith in the future, because the present sucked. -------------------------------------------------------- Good to know. : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
Not always true. Look at France, England, and Italy. Look at Canada, and the US up till the end of the 20th century. They built some pretty impressive cities. I’ve known quite number of Christians that were very decent people. Likewise. The architecture of Christianity, OTOH, is such as to form a dependable citizenry under a unified ethic whose members are able to defer gratification of their natural desires, breed productively but with prudence, and generally live with some faith in the future. These are some of the cornerstones upon which a civilization is built. Not only that, but truly peaceful and benevolent societies may have perhaps lived the utiopian dream, but throughout history, any such society was eventually anhilated due to the very fact their doctrines were of of peace and non-violence. It led to their downfall due to barbarians who would rape and slaughter their people and pillage their lands. That is why a religion such as Christianity was necessary, as Christians believe they can kill if their government tells them to, and have no qualms defending themselves with deadly force if needed. It is of course contrary to the 10 Commandments and the teachings of Jesus, but if their religious leaders tell them it's ok, then all that is tossed out the window. I didn't say that Christians were better than anyone else. They are probably no more or less barbaric than the other civilized peoples on this planet. They were, however, successful in building a hugely dynamic and productive civilization. For better or worse, they have carried Western Civilization forward. "Satanists," OTOH, haven't done shit.
Pagans built some nice cities too. It doesn't take christianity to build a city. Nothing much good has come from christianity, or any of the other "abrahamic" religions. Contrast those they built with those they destroyed. But, jesus loves you. lol -------------------------------------------------------- Western civilization has advanced in spite of christianity, not because of it. Otherwise, owning a telescope, or a bible in your own language, could get you into some trouble with the PTB. -------------------------------------------------------- She's been a proud jezebel for as long as I can remember.
Which ones? I mean, recently? Actually I would not rate her quite that high. Depraved and Degenerate come to mind as ready adjectives. Also PsyOps. Her performance had to have been scripted with the delivery of specific messages to particular audiences depending upon a person's level of knowledge and awareness. Her book "Sex" gives some insight into her true level of dark depravity. What kind of "recent" cities are there? They've been around for a while now. I'm not really sure what you're getting at. But: Contrast that with Londoners literally throwing their shit out the window onto the street 1500+ years later. -------------------------------------------------------- A nice summation. And to the Satanist "ethic" we could also add a depraved and degenerate even unto hatred, for others. It is ultimately a complete, or nearly so, avoidance of responsibility. One could call it rebellion, and in a way it is, but rebellion against what? Decency? Honor? Regard for the welfare of others? Satanism is basically a nihilistic philosophy which seeks to avoid reality and responsibility for one's actions. While moral codes can, and often do, become twisted over time in their best form they are the condensed wisdom of a culture as to what is beneficial for the individual AND the society. Thus the prohibitions of out of wedlock birth which has a very real, and is thus very practical, implication for the unwed mother. We can see in our current culture that unwed mothers most often live in poverty, excepting inherited wealth and the occasional actress or other such very high income earning woman, and their life choices are very constrained, if they have any decency, by the need to care for the child. And I agree with your general assessment of the personality characteristics of Satanists. I have been acquainted with a few and most can most charitably be described as personality disordered assholes. I recall one such acquaintance from my days in the service who one of the Psychs, not that I care for Psychs but that is another story, classified as a "Psychotic Shithead". Well at least she's not nearly as depraved as THIS women...
OI, not EVERYTHING you see is a "psyop". If anything, the elite would like to silence people who promote world peace, such as Madonna. You really have me scratching my head over this. Satanic ritual military music sports industry psyop. What's not to understand? OI, not EVERYTHING you see is a "psyop". If anything, the elite would like to silence people who promote world peace, such as Madonna. You really have me scratching my head over this. No, not everything is PsyOps and I have never said it was. However, we are bathed in Psych manipulation to such a great extent that to some degree people have tended not to notice, or it blends in, because it IS present in a very large degree. Read the "Laurel Canyon" series sometime and look at some of the other outside research that has been done on how the popular culture is manipulated. I am not a "stick up my ass" Christian who is trying to enforce my personal view of morality on others, but that Christian morality, much of which is good and wholesome, is one of the things our power elite is busily trying to destroy because it runs counter to their plans for social manipulation and the normalization of perversity - such as has already been done with homosexuality. When I say that the PsyOps manipulation of our culture is pervasive I am not kidding. Once you are sensitized to it and start looking and analyzing a lot of it, not all, starts popping right out at you. The ghost of Sigmund Fraud and his ill begotten nephew Edward Bernays must be suffering gales of laughter about now. This imposition has not grown up overnight but it has been increased tremendously through the control of the popular media. Compare and contrast 1950's and early 1960's television with the manipulative schlock that is on the air now. I could spend a couple hours just analyzing and documenting the different types of manipulation, citing specific examples, were I inclined to take the time. I just find it a more profitable use of my time to exhort people to think for themselves - learn basic logic, and research, read, and research some more. One of my favorite examples is the less than amazing Randi and the so-called "Skeptics". While some of them are just suckers parroting the lines they've been fed at its core are series of potent memes: That is before we get into the specifics of what they say on any given topic and why. (Hint a lot of it comes out of places such as Langely Virginia and Tavistock, and no I can't prove it with a smoking gun, but that is my studied opinion after years of looking at it and analyzing it. The different threads from a multitude of different sources makes proving it an arduous task - which also requires stripping away a lot of false data from the minds of the audience.) As for "World Peace" the NWO is promoting "World Peace" from their perverted point of view. Of course if that means enslaving 99% of the population after killing off 85% of the population - well hey, "you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs". True. If anything, much of anything majestic built in the Middle Ages were either churches, or government buildings. Science and ingenuity were tossed aside till the Renaissance, and sanitation didn't make a comeback till the 1900's. That's why they had so many plagues till then. So all sports are "satanic" too now, eh? All music is satanic, right? I didn't take you for a fundie, at least now I know. What's not to understand? True and obvious to those sensitized to look for it and can spot it, but it is a matter of viewpoint, knowledge, and awareness. As Historian and Documentarian James Burke pointed out: So, it someone does not know it exists they don't see the blatant manipulation and it just becomes an outre' Rock Star putting on a performance and all of the symbolism, and buried memes, seep in unfiltered and even unnoticed. Madonna is not a satanist nor an atheist. She is more spiritual than many if not most on this board, if she does indeed follow the Kabbalah. Music and eroticism in and of itself is not evil. Wanton murder and destruction IS. And that is what many of these so-called devout "christians" condone and support. Ye shall know them by their fruits... And once I again I need to bring up the fact that you folks hop all over a pop star with idiotic accusations, much like the rable of demon possessed self- righteous folks who perpetrated the witch hunts of the 1600's, yet fail to identify and condenm those who truly ARE evil and twisted, such as the "black metal" bands I mentioned, and those such as Marilyn Manson, who views himself as the anti-christ.
Do some reading on the history of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. The Gladiatorial Games (think NFL) served a social function of keeping the Plebes (the common people) diverted from the society's decadent ruling classes and the collapse and degadation of the society around them. Commonly referred to, derisively, as "Bread and Circuses". No, not all, but there is a large component there. Certainly classical music is not, but in the manipulated popular culture? Yes, a lot of it is, even if one just prefers to use the less charged term of degraded and destructive. Satanic though is a useful label as it encapsulates, and communicates, a lot in that short term. With that sort of philosophy, I'd think you'd be afraid to get out of bed in the morning lest some demon might jump out from under it and eat you. Using the term "satanic" in such a generic way, to mean virtually anything you personally find distasteful, dilutes the meaning of the word. When I use the term, I MEAN what it truly implies, and that is that it refers to those who DO in fact worship satan, and relates to the deranged and twisted actions they commit in satan's name. I could say "Jesus camps" are satanic, as they twist the minds of young children and I find that distasteful, so it must be satanic, if I were to stretch the meaning as much as you. To me, this girl seems demonically possessed... Define "many". Many is a generalization. I could just as easily point out that "many" Christians do not support such horrors. In fact most of the support comes mainly from the manipulated, misled, and thoroughly controlled Kristyun Zionists who number an estimated 35 million or so in the U.S.. Given that about, by survey, 90% of ALL Americans think of themselves as Christian 35 million is at best about 1/6th and even among them are those who reject the horrors of these endless wars for NWO dominance. I have never said that people cannot be misled nor that ALL Christians are truly good people. However, "many" of them, IMHO, ARE good people. How many supported GW Bush and his crusade against the "muzzies"? How many have voted for Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, or Newt Gingrich? How many wish to bring about Armageddon so they can get "raptured" a bit sooner than later? He is a head-scratch inducer. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and a rock concert is just a rock concert. I remember an interview with Ozzy some time ago. He is the self-proclaimed "prince of darkness". However, he also said that it is all an act, that the person on stage is not the real person, that no one on stage is as they are in real life. It's a show, no more and no less. Are there "real" satanists in music? Probably some. Manson is a COS "high priest", which is a joke since a person can buy a priesthood there. They use him like scientology uses Cruise and that other dumbfuck that I can't think of his name right now. Some of the "black metal" bands might be satanists. I don't know. I don't care much for that genre. My guess is that there aren't many. They are playing to their audiences. Some see satanists behind everything. There aren't that many of us; and there is no real "us" since generally speaking we are not a group, but individuals. I've never met one in real life, and I doubt those that claim they have. -------------------------------------------------------- Your point? Even a lot of Christians find the Scofield Fundies objectionable in their behavior. One might call it "Bizarro Christianity". Christianity, while having at its original core a good many sound and decent philosophies, is subject to distortion and perversion over time by societies termites. Not to cut this short but I have some things to attend to. However, I know religion is charged subject for you, as it was with my mother so I am used to dealing with it, but for a time try to separate the religion and its philosophy from the practicioners who pervert it for whatever reasons or demons of their own. Trite and cliche. The converse is also true - sometimes it is not just a rock concert. Context is all, and the message delivers what it delivers. Trying to create a fog of confusion is certainly one way to try to obscure a concept or idea. All I ask of people is that they think for themselves. When I am presented with trite cliches and catchphrases then I know reason has fled the room. I am not the one accusing people of being satanic, although I have pointed out some who openly are. I am simply trying to educate you and others here that your fears in this particular matter are unfounded and unwarranted. During the course of the thread, there has been much back and forth concerning religious philosophy. What it comes down to is, don't jump in the fire if you can't stand the heat. There is profound wisdom in those cliches, and that is why they are immortal. Jesus loves you
You're lost in your own fog of confusion. But if you want to see satanists behind everything, knock yourself out. All I ask of people is that they think for themselves. That is a blatant fucking lie. If others don't agree with you, they are spreading disinfo, and/or on .gov payroll. You and Alex Jones are 2 peas in a pod with that "think for yourself" crap. -------------------------------------------------------- There is profound wisdom in those cliches, and that is why they are immortal. Not to be argumenataive, not moi, but sometimes a cliche is just a cliche. ;-) You're lost in your own fog of confusion. But if you want to see satanists behind everything, knock yourself out. How nice. Another attempt to put words in my mouth by exxagerating the point to the level of creating a Strawman Argument. Did I assert my case as a universal? Again distorting my position I have pointed out, and illustrated, with correct references YOUR repeated use of illogic and disinformation tactics. Wanting people to think for themselves and disagreeing with an expressed opinion, presented in your ineffably caustic and ill mannered fashion, is another. The two are not mutually exclusive. Did I use too many big words for you? Oh, Alex who? Is this someone whom I should know?

Rely on authority - if it didn't come from an "approved" source it can't be true.
Anything which diverges from the mainstream is false.
Materialism is the only valid philosophy and viewpoint.
There is no spiritual dimension to life. We are just animate sacks of chemicals who only think we can think because that is what the chemicals tell us. There is no life beyond the existence of the material, the body, and the belief that you are a spiritual being is illogical because we can't measure it with one of our holy oscilloscopes. Never mind all of the empirical observational data that suggests very strongly that man is not just meat. (This is basically the "humanist/atheist" viewpoint stripped of all of its sophistry.)
All Religion is bunk, because mainstream science can't verify it (of course mainstream science is all about materialism which rejects the spiritual a priori. So it becomes a circular logic of "Catch 22").

"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

OI, not EVERYTHING you see is a "psyop". If anything, the elite would like to silence people who promote world peace, such as Madonna. You really have me scratching my head over this.
Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and a rock concert is just a rock concert.

Do some reading on the history of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. The Gladiatorial Games (think NFL) served a social function of keeping the Plebes (the common people) diverted from the society's decadent ruling classes and the collapse and degadation of the society around them.

However, I know religion is charged subject for you, as it was with my mother so I am used to dealing with it, but for a time try to separate the religion and its philosophy from the practicioners who pervert it for whatever reasons or demons of their own.

When I am presented with trite cliches and catchphrases then I know reason has fled the room.

Trying to create a fog of confusion is certainly one way to try to obscure a concept or idea.

No. The context clearly limits the point. However, you just cannot seem to resist distorting and misrepresenting other people's positions. Typical.
Moi: "All I ask of people is that they think for themselves."
BSUSATOO: "That is a blatant fucking lie."
BSUSATOO: "If others don't agree with you, they are spreading disinfo, and/or on .gov payroll."
