The Illuminati Are Out To Get You!

This video is fun:

This review is awesome:

Mind control symbolism is often found in the videos of young sexy pop stars who are on the rise. In most cases, the stars take on the role of the mind control victim in the videos, making the symbolism relating to it seem cool, sexy and desirable, while the idea of mind control is unconsciously planted in the minds of young people. Many videos depict rather vividly the harsh reality of being "puppets of the industry", to a point that it is all out in the open, but most viewers remain clueless because they can’t see past the thin veil of symbolism found in the videos. This phenomenon is not only found in America, but in all parts of the world: in this case, the Russian pop group Vintage.

The group—Anna Pletnev, singer and composer Aleksey Romanov and dancer Svetlana Ivanov—released a single titled Mikkie, containing all of the aspects of the Illuminati agenda.

...

At face value, the song is a commentary on popular culture and mass production. The authors also say it is a tribute to Michael Jackson. There is another very important issue described in this video: mind control. As seen in previous articles, Mickey Mouse (especially the Mickey Mouse hat) is often used as a code for mind control in popular culture. The involvement of Disney and Disney movies in mind control programming have been documented by Fritz Springmeier.

I'd swear there was something similiar in these two statements...

First:

I define the revolutionary spirit as the belief that we can and should radically transform the world for the better. It spurns compromise and necessary evils, opting instead for creative solutions and consistent morality. It ever struggles against restraints and limitations.

Second:

Her hero must not place his wish primarily within others or attempt or desire anything that requires primarily the exercise of the will of others. If he attempts that, he is out of a creator's province and in that of the second-hander. This is not, properly speaking, a moral imperative, because no obligation has been established to try to be creative. But her hero is creative, and that is why, in addition to never sacrificing his interests for another's, he will never ask others to sacrifice their interests for his. Much like the Nietzschean superman, the hero cannot be predatory or exploitative; this would not give him what he wants, because no one outside himself has it to give.

The first is from QueerSingularity, one of those "more-Eganesque than thou" transhumanist sites that provide me with fodder for stories (indeed, a huge raft of stuff is there for Fallen Angel, if I ever get back to writing), and is a paraphrase of Karl Marx. The second is from National Review, and is a paraphrase of the ideals of Ayn Rand.

They weren't so different.
