Not too long ago, Ke$ha released the video to “Die Young," her
first single off her upcoming Warrior album.
The song is about what you’d expect: lots of synth, a cloying hook, lyrics
about partying and celebrating trash. However, the video features a
hodgepodgery of odd shapes and symbols, ranging from roughly a million
triangles to pentagrams to animal parts.
As this sort of thing is prone to do, the video forced the YouTube commenters of the world to break out their Illuminati conspiracy
theories, because the financial elite and powerful overlords that control our
world and it’s fate couldn’t find a better charlatan for their message than a
drunken Trans Am owner with a dollar sign in her name--which of course hints to
all the Freemason imagery on the dollar bill...it all makes sense now! Check
out Mark Dice (“media analyst, political activist, and author”) tear
down the specific symbols, from upside-down crosses to the
All-Seeing Eye to a hearse labeled “Evil” on the nameplate. To be fair to folks
like Dice, the video is quite creepy if you watch it with the sound off.
If you missed the Illuminati
breakdown of her video for “Blow”, you’ll see how deep some people
go down the John-Nash-rabbit-hole. A rich
man gives her a triangle cookie! It’s a symbol of her consuming the Illuminati
message! And of course Kesha is not the only target: Lady Gaga is a brainwashed slave. Michael Jackson and Tupac were assassinated by members of
the Bildeberg group. Eminem,
LIl Wayne, Jay-Z, and Kanye West are forming a cult (a cult with the
dopest beats evaaaah).
Conspiracy theories come from a very odd space in the human
psyche. It first generates from the instinct to be better than those around
you. The conspiracy theorist believes he has the in on a massive, worldwide
scam that everyone else is too silly or naive to understand. It also comes from
a natural bias of the mind to find patterns even if there are none.
What
intrigues me about Kesha, however, is “Die Young” feeds into the imagery these
kooks look for so much it almost seems like satire. Indeed, even Billboard cited the crazy amount of
fodder for conspiracy theorists. The Illuminati believers have now popularized
the imagery they crave to the point that it’s beginning to appear for the
express purpose of gaining their attention which must really drive them crazy.
