Symbols, Conspiracies, Princesses, and Frogs

I realize it's rather early at this stage of the game for me to disclose personal/embarrassing information about myself (and in the second post, no less!), but what the hay: I'm OBSESSED with conspiracy theories! Ever since I saw a series of videos on YouTube (I know, I know), about secret societies plotting to establish their New World Order, I can't stop researching about them or looking for their associated symbols. Whenever a blog talks about Jay-Z or Rihanna, I find myself scanning the comments sections for links to any "revelatory" video or website that previously escaped my radar. I'm at the point where I can't even look at butterflies, torches, or the word "illuminate" without cringing. I'm a mess!

According to the videos, these secret societies are in positions of power where they can dictate what's put out in the media. One of their tactics is to infuse various forms of entertainment with symbols that either reflect who they are or subtly depict their plans for ushering in their New World Order. It all sounds outlandish, I know. But it's hard to ignore the saturation of images that keep popping up in various forms of media, over and over again.

The most blatant symbol that (allegedly) represents these secret societies is the left eye, which can be depicted either by itself, when covering up the right eye, or near the top of a triangle or pyramid. The latter representation can be found on the reverse of the US 1 dollar bill. (BTW: the Latin script on the bottom roughly translates to (eek!) "New World Order!):
The origin of the eye apparently comes from Egyptian mythology. (In fact, much of their symbolism does--you know, allegedly.) The eye symbol is an adaptation of the eye of Horus, who was one of the ancient Egyptian gods. The eye of Horus is represented as follows:
Another symbol believed to be associated with these secret societies is the skull and crossbones:
Now, I'm a fairly rational human being possessing a healthy dose of skepticism. But it's hard for me to ignore these theories when the symbols are literally EVERYWHERE. Oh, and don't let there be more than one symbol present in the same context. I literally flip out! It's almost as if they want to make sure it's understood that these symbols are not there by accident but are placed there for a purpose. I want in my heart of hearts to NOT believe any of this because, let's face it, it's downright OUTLANDISH. But the symbols just won't leave me be! Just when I'm certain I've moved on from this tragic phase that I'm in--BOOM! Another symbol will pop up and stop me dead in my tracks.

That's what happened when I saw a billboard ad for Disney's latest movie: The Princess and the Frog. Apparently the story is set in New Orleans and the character below is some villainous voodoo magician. (Never mind the Russian writing. I couldn't find an English language version of the image, but other than the Russian script, this is exactly what I saw on the billboard).
Now I don't profess to be an expert on voodoo or black magic, but of all the imagery I've seen, I don't ever remember seeing the eye of Horus. The skull and crossbones might be more plausible, but honestly I don't remember seeing this associated with voodoo either. And I'm 100% confident I've NEVER seen them both in the same context. The only voodoo-related symbol that comes to mind is the doll with the pins in it. Why would they avoid this typical representation and go out of their way to incorporate not one but TWO symbols that have nothing to do with voodoo--the same symbols that just so happen to feature in countless videos, logos, and other cultural artifacts, over and over again?

These symbols are definitely coming from somewhere. They are too numerous for it all to be explained by mere coincidence. Whether it has anything to do with the New World Order or any of the other stuff claimed in those videos, we'll probably never know. Still, if we ever get to the point where people are voluntarily lining up to be implanted with microchips and you see some loud, rabid picketer on the sidelines trying to dissuade them while munching on Del Taco #5, you'll know who it is and why!

  1. I totally agree and its scary as hell. I was doing the same thing you were doing but its hard to show people because they then begin to critize and call yoy crazy but in reality they are just naive & common who are not outgoing enough to think for themselves. Great article
