Why You Can No Longer Listen to The Dark Side of the Moon
How Pop Music - ALL Pop Music, Even Music By Your Favourite Artistes - Is The Devil's Work
February 26, 2025

On a recent podcast, my Special Guest Ben Rubin described how he could no longer bear to listen to Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon. What he now finds untenable are lyrics like “Quiet desperation is the English way” which, with Awake hindsight, he realises is a sly invitation towards existential despair. Here a bestselling album - 45 million copies sold - is being used to programme its audience into that state of apathetic surrender which our Dark Overlords find so beneficial to their controlling agenda.

Obviously, if you are still a Normie, this is going to sound like hogwash. “C’mon. It’s just Roger Waters being Roger Waters. He’s just riffing on Henry David Thoreau’s ‘The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation’. You’re reading too much into this.”

Oh. Am I?

One of my jobs in my twenty-five or so years in the mainstream media was as a music critic. I reviewed hundreds of rock and pop albums, attended many dozens of gigs (including about 15 Glastonbury festivals) and interviewed any number of stars. I shared cocktails at 2am with Jimmy Page in the Beverley Hills Hotel and was so drunk when he agreed to do the interview immediately afterwards that I could barely ask a coherent question. I got abused as a ‘tad journalist’ by Lou Reed. I believed - though perhaps I shouldn’t have - Jon Bon Jovi that the secret of staying faithful to his wife on tour was regular masturbation. I smoked some of Tricky’s predictably excellent weed. I innocently asked Tracy Chapman whether she had a man in her life. (lol). I found Beck away with the fairies. I attended the excruciating premiere of ‘Sir Paul McCartney’s’ Liverpool Oratorio. I pissed off Dave Gilmour by telling him my favourite Floyd album was Atom Heart Mother. I saw REM’s legendary Bingo Hand Job gig. I took Stephen Fry to see EMF play Unbelievable…

But just because I’ve been there, done that, doesn't necessarily mean I had the slightest clue what was going on behind the scenes. In fact I know I didn’t. I was, as most of us are, under a spell. Also, I believed like the reporter in The Man Who Shot Liberty, that ‘When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.’

When you’ve been so deeply immersed in pop culture for so long it becomes hard to quit the addiction. All these heroes - Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Underworld, Eat… - have written the soundtrack to your life. Rejecting them is like discarding parts of yourself, your personal history, some of your most treasured memories. Which is why not just Normies but even many Awake people are so resistant to the notion that, yes, even the music industry is part of the psyop. Indeed not just even the music industry but most especially the music industry. It exists to grab you, sneak under your skin, at the very moments in your life when you are most susceptible: you’ve just broken up with your partner; you’re off your face on drugs; it’s your birthday; you’re bored; you’re cruising down the highway and your brain is wide open. That is why music is so particularly valued by the Dark Overlords. They’re not doing it because they love you, you realise?

Most of us who’ve been down the rabbit hole know this - up to a point. We know how dangerous, evil and manipulative the music industry is. We know what went down at those P-Diddy parties. We know that Lady Gaga is - probably - a bloke. And that so - probably - is Taylor Swift. We’ve probably read Dave Goldman’s Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon, which blew the whistle on the CIA-manufactured origins of the entire Peace & Love West Coast music scene. We might even suspect that Paul is dead

But still far too many of us supposedly Awake types want to have our cake and eat it. We are afflicted with what I call ‘But Not Kate Bush’ Syndrome. That is, we perfectly well accept that pretty much every star in the musical firmament is a mind-controlled, soul-selling stooge of the beast system. Just not our personal favourite artistes who are magically exempt because their music is so great it couldn’t possibly have been written for them by the Tavistock Institute and because they have such compelling backstories that they must be genuine talents who emerged naturally, rather than having been created by a committee of mind-bending technocrats run by the Illuminati.

I understand this impulse for I too would like to believe that there is nothing weird and sinister and occultist about our Kate. And I’d dearly like to believe the same thing about David Bowie, not least because of the hours I invested of my precious youth getting into him. My brother Dick and I made it one of our projects. Obviously we already liked Ashes to Ashes because it was the top of the charts at the time with that cool video on the beach featuring various New Romantics dressed as nuns and the line we mistakenly thought said ‘I ain’t got no money and I ain’t got no hands’. But we had to work hard on some of the earlier stuff. “Yeah, I really like Life On Mars and Oh You Pretty Things but I’m not such a fan of Quicksand or Bewlay Brothers.” “Don’t worry, you’ll get there. I think Bewlay Brothers is now almost one of my favourites.”

But I think we need to be honest with ourselves, we Awake Bowie fans and judge our hero according to the same rigorous criteria we apply to all the other conspiracies out there. Are we really to believe - honestly? - that the guy who began one of his songs ‘I’m closer to the Golden Dawn/Immersed in Crowley’s uniform” and concluded, gnostically, that ‘Knowledge comes with death’s release’ was one of the goodies?

There’s a reason why we pored over those gnomic lyrics. Because they were meant to be pored over and mulled upon and eventually absorbed into our vulnerable adolescent consciousness. It wasn’t an accident that they messed with our heads and made us feel weird and rebellious and dissatisfied and alienated. That was the whole point.

Same goes for Pink Floyd. I’ve watched so many documentaries about the Floyd, read so many books, listened to so much of their music that of course I can give you the fanboi/muso chapter-and-verse on their early experimental days at the UFO club, the tragic tale of Syd, the miraculous marketing power of their sleeve designers Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell and so on and on through the floating pigs and on to The Dark Side of the Moon which (if you don’t count The Bodyguard soundtrack, which I don’t) is still the world’s biggest selling album after Michael Jackson’s Thriller and AC/DC’s Back in Black. But so what? Given what we know about the music industry how are we to trust a single word of what it tells us about itself? Remember that quotation about printing the ‘legend.'

It’s the stuff They don’t - and won’t - tell you about the music industry that we should focus on, not the stuff They put out in press releases and back-slapping, chin-stroking retrospective documentaries on the Sky Arts channel. Obviously it’s rarely going to be spelled out for you, except in stuff that occasionally slips through the net like the obscure interview where Dylan ruefully describes his pact with the ‘chief commander.’But it’s not as if They don’t offer plenty of clues - because of that Satanic/Luciferian obligation They have to ‘reveal the method’ and to hail the object of their true allegiance.

That Wish You Were Here cover, for example. Designed by Hipgnosis (geddit?). What’s all that about, do you reckon? Well the official narrative, of course, encourages you to focus on the crazy creative genius of Storm Thorgerson, or the difficulty of setting up the shot with the stunt actor in the flame retardant costume. But the real meaning is obvious when you see it, as someone kindly explained to me in the comments on my Substack the other day.

The deal-sealing handshake with the flaming man? Yup. It’s about the same thing Bob Dylan is on about in that interview I mentioned. And the same thing Freddie Mercury is singing about in Queen’s most famous track Bohemian Rhapsody. Sure, Bohemian Rhapsody spent weeks at number one because it’s incredibly catchy with some sublime vocals from Freddie and some great guitar breaks from Dr Poodle Hair Badger Botherer and its air of cod-operatic, kitsch sophistication. But it also got there because that’s what They like to do: to shove their clandestine message right in your face so as to mock you with the obviousness you are yet too stupid to understand.

“Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me.”

Gosh. What can that possibly mean?

We all know that to get a record deal you have to sell your soul. It’s a part of music lore.

But the reason it’s part of music lore is because they want the secret hidden in plain sight. That is, by telling you about the pact with the devil, they want to make the mature, discerning, rational part of your brain to go: “Well of course they don’t mean literally a pact with the devil. It’s just a trope. A metaphor. Goes back to the days of Robert Johnson etc. etc.”

Meanwhile, selling their souls to the devil is exactly and, yes, literally what all successful musicians have done in return for their career and to which they cannot help alluding now and again because, as they often come to appreciate more as they get older - see eg late career Johnny Cash - it’s not necessarily the most edifying or long-term beneficial of exchanges.

Before he was cast out of heaven for leading one third of the angels in rebellion, Lucifer was in charge of music. Or so I’ve heard and it does make sense. It’s no accident that Stairway to Heaven sounds so moreishly addictive. Nor Hotel California. That music was personally supervised by his Satanic majesty, the god of this world, patron of axe maestros from Jimmy Page to Keith Richards, and deliberately, through sundry cunning wiles and much diabolical skill, made so attractive in order to make you want to take more drugs and have more sex with lots of unsuitable partners.

That’s the devil’s job. To entice you towards sin. And he’s really, really good at it. If sin were easy to resist we’d have no trouble resisting it. Unfortunately, sin is very closely aligned with all the things our fleshly bodies find most agreeable and which, by spooky coincidence, pop music tends to celebrate: rhythmically-enhanced hedonism, gluttony, profligacy, druggy abandon, alcohol abuse, degeneracy, rebellion (let’s not forget who the first rebel was…) and, of course, lashings and lashings of sex.

“How could something that feels so good be so wrong?”, people are wont - half tongue-in-cheek - to enquire. But the answer is contained in the question.

So, all those ‘fundamentalist’ Christians we were encouraged to mock were right all along. Pop music is the work of the devil. Once you understand this, everything about the music industry - the characters it promotes, the behaviour it encourages, the effects it has on you - makes so much more sense.

I sometimes used to wonder, for example, why all the music I used to love listening to - and I really did have excellent, recherché taste: In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel, that kind of thing - made me sort of happy but never, ever so happy as I would have liked it to have made me. There was always something in it that was slightly off, something that said: “Yes, of course you are enjoying this but you realise the best is over, don’t you?” You get this feeling especially, I find, with my all-time favourite rock band Led Zeppelin. And the reason for this, I suspect, is explained in this superb essay:

https://ursulabielski.substack.com/p/stairway-to-hell-the-spiritual-and

by Ursula Bielski - Stairway to Hell: the Spiritual and Cultural Costs of Led Zeppelin.

Bielski is a Christian, a Catholic more specifically, so is equipped to understand the supernatural warfare being waged against us through songs like Stairway to Heaven which, it appears, may have been dictated to Robert Plant from the spirit realm.

It was 1970, and Jimmy Page was sitting in an old country house with bandmate Robert Plant, a fire flickering in the hearth. A storm rolled in outside, the wind rattling the windows, shadows shifting in the corners. The two musicians had been writing, playing, waiting for something to emerge. And then, without warning, it came.

Robert Plant, in a trance-like state, picked up a pencil and began to write. Words spilled onto the page as if they were being whispered into his ear. He barely remembered thinking them, barely recognized his own hand as it moved.

He pushed the page over to Jimmy. In the flickering light, Page read the words aloud:

"There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold…"

Later, the two would try to describe how the song—“Stairway to Heaven”--was not composed in the usual way. It was not labored over or refined.

It was received.

The Devil, infamously, cannot create (which is God’s prerogative), all he can do is imitate. I wonder whether perhaps that isn’t the problem I’m trying to identify with the work of Led Zeppelin. It’s a simulation of divine ecstasy, but it’s not the real thing.

There may be other factors at play too, here, one of them being pitch. We discuss this on my podcast with Conspiracy Music Guru, one of several Awake musicians to have noticed that music tuned to 432 Hz has warm, healing qualities whereas the current industry standard of 440 Hz unsettles you. And if you really want to go down the frequency rabbit hole, I commend this eye-opening essay by Agent131711, but read this one first. In it, Agent131711 argues that the chord sequences in different music genres are calculated to cause specific ill-health problems in their target audiences. Hip hop is designed to destroy your immune system; rock and country is designed to cause cardiovascular disease and cancer. Apparently. It’s a good read anyway.

Anyway, to return to the point from right at the beginning: yes, I agree with Ben Rubin that there is nothing innocent about albums like Dark Side of the Moon. Anything that is allowed to get that big - same rule applies to movies, books, celebrities - does so with the full approval of our Dark Overlords. And what is good for them is definitely not good for us.

Does that mean, then, that when Roger Waters sat down and wrote that line ‘Quiet desperation is the English way’ he was going ‘Mwahahahaha! This will destroy them, those poor ignorant hippie fools! How little they understand our Satanic masterplan!’? No, of course it doesn’t. Rather I think the creative process here was not dissimilar to the one that went into the composition of Stairway To Heaven. Once artistes have made the Pact - as Waters would certainly have done by this stage of the Floyd’s career - they tap in to a kind of Satanic consciousness. It gives them a creative helping hand (the devil, after all, has all the best tunes) but at the same time it exerts a slily corrupting influence and steers the product in a particular direction.

It’s what people don’t understand about conspiracies. The line you’ll often hear expressed by Normies is: “But look, people just aren’t that competent. No one could ever arrange a conspiracy on such a scale.” And they’re right, up to a point. No one human could…

Christianity 1 New Age 0

If you haven’t already - I’m a bit behind the curve here - I urge you to watch this car crash encounter between Christian apologist and scholar Wes Huff and ‘ancient civilisation’ researcher Billy Carson.

It’s an excruciating experience - probably best to watch it on double speed - for a couple of reasons. First, the hapless podcast host/debate moderator Mark Minard is somewhat out of his depth and is also clearly embarrassed at having one of his guests (Carson, sitting right next to him) eviscerated in front of him by his other guest. This causes him to interrupt the debate at intervals and expound well-meaningly but not very interestingly on his own half-baked views on the mysteries of the universe. You feel a bit sorry for him but you do rather wish he’d shut up.

Second, and mainly, it’s painful to watch Carson being outclassed and outgunned by someone who knows and understands his purported field of expertise so much better than he does. Carson was reportedly so upset by the encounter that he ...

Mark Steyn: Climate Hero

“The world is ****ed. What practical thing can I do to make any difference?”

It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves at one time or another. And I don’t think that the answer is one that many of us would like to hear. Let me give you an example of the kind of tenacity, courage and self-sacrifice required if you really want to take on this ineffably corrupt system.

I give you: Mark Steyn v Michael Mann.

Michael Mann - as you’ll know if you’ve read my account of the climate wars Watermelons (now available in an even punchier updated edition - https://jamesdelingpole.co.uk/Shop/Products/Watermelons-2024.html) - is the creator of probably the most overrated and fraudulent artefact in the entire global warming scam: the infamous Hockey Stick chart.

In order to scare the world into believing that catastrophic, man-made ‘climate change’ is real and that we need to act now to avert disaster, the architects of the hoax needed some kind of experty expert to come up with some plausible-looking evidence.

Enter an up-and-coming American ...

Bovaer is Bullshit

Perhaps the best thing to come out of the Bovaer/burping cows scandal was this Tweet by me.

The point about Bovaer is not that it may or may not be harmless and that it may or may not have a significant impact on cow methane. The point is that it is entirely unnecessary because man-made climate change is TOTALLY made up bollocks.

I like the Tweet because it’s true and succinct. But I like it even more for the reaction it got: almost everyone out of 215,000 people who saw it agreed strongly with the sentiment.

Here are some sample reactions:

Said it all in one short paragraph

Bingo! (Get this man a pint, please)

Glad someone said that

Totally unnecessary!!! Let the cows fart!

I could go on. 629 people commented, most of them positive. 4.6K were sufficiently inspired to share it. And 19K people liked it.

Who Really Runs The World? Part Deux
Intergenerational Pools of Capital Plus Demonic Intelligence. Sounds About Right To Me...

Who really runs the world? It’s a question I’ve asked before and no doubt will again. But I think Catherine Austin Fitts has got about as close as any of us are likely to get with her latest explanation.

Previously, she has defined the problem somewhat evasively as ‘There’s a committee at the top which makes all the big decisions. My nickname for it is Mister Global’.

Now, on a podcast with Danny Jones, she gets down to specifics.

“I think you have intergenerational pools of capital. And right now they are over-influenced by the occult. You have inter dimensional intelligence which is operating. Demonic intelligence. So I think this thing about good and evil is real.”

Yes. I’ve long suspected something similar. But when it comes from me it sounds like so much woo, whereas coming from someone with the bottom, gravitas and deliberative caution of Catherine Austin Fitts it’s much more of a bombshell revelation.

With her background in finance and government - she was managing director of Wall Street investment bank Dillon, Read & Co and served as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing in the George HW Bush administration - Fitts is just about the last person you’d expect to be talking about the reality of demons.

Why would she put her credibility on the line like this if she didn’t have good reason to believe it were true?

Well there are, of course, various dismissive explanations in conspiracy circles - most of them to do with the idea that Catherine Austin Fitts isn’t really ‘one of us’ but some kind of Limited Hangout or Gatekeeper, a deep cover Establishment agent whose mission is to infiltrate the Awake community and sow misinformation.

Amazing Polly on Twitter, for example, is sceptical. Brandishing Fitts’s CV - Member, Advisory Board, Arlington Institute; etc - she asks, not unreasonably:

“Is this the CV of your typical deep stater or do we give some people a pass bc they do the rounds on podcasts?

Wharton, Yale, Stanford, Harvard, MIT

Learned Mandarin in HK.”

Good question. I do not know the answer. There are lots of reasons to be suspicious of Catherine Austin Fitts but then, as one or two commenters are wont to point out, there are quite a few reasons to be suspicious of me.

But I’m not sure this criticism is relevant here. Even if, for the sake of argument, we accept that Catherine Austin Fitts is another wrong ‘un, I still find it pretty remarkable that someone so Establishment - or ex-Establishment, depending on your point of view - should state the case for supernatural involvement in the current horror show quite so unequivocally.

Better still is the distinction she makes between demons and aliens, whose significance quite a few Truther commenters have misunderstood.

“So I’ve just reading a book called Final Events by Nick Redfern and it’s an explanation of a group of military intelligence in the United States called the Collins Elite. And they came to believe that the ET phenomenon was a demonic phenomenon. It was not people from another planet. It was demonic intelligence.

And one of the things he discovered was that the Collins Elite apparently discovered that in many ET abduction events if you called on Jesus Christ it would stop.”

I’m amazed - though perhaps I shouldn’t be - how many David Icke fans have misunderstood this as an endorsement of their guru’s theories.

“David Icke has been saying this stuff for years”, one or two commented on Twitter.

No, he hasn’t. This is the exact opposite of what he has been saying. Icke’s theories concern extraterrestrial beings and planetary forces which have trapped us all in some kind of ‘simulation.’ He violently rejects the Christian schemata being proposed here by Fitts. And he certainly wouldn’t agree that you could ward off ‘aliens’ by calling on Jesus Christ because in at least one of his books he argues that Jesus Christ never existed.

I am not a fan of Icke. I have no problem with people who are but I do think there are one or two key questions they need to ask themselves about his philosophical position and its sources.

https://delingpole.substack.com/p/david-ickes-gingerbread-cottage

The other criticism being levelled by certain Awake types against Fitts is that by blaming - or at least partly blaming - supernatural forces, she is somehow absolving all the usual suspects (the bloodline families; the Black Nobility; the Jesuits; the ‘Jews’; the World Economic Forum; etc) of responsibility for their nefarious deeds.

No, she’s really not. She’s just pointing out that ‘the intergenerational pools of capital’ are working as a tag team with the supernatural forces of darkness. Which I think they probably are because I don’t think they’d be capable doing what they do without them.

If you read the Old Testament, you’ll find lots of moments where God makes it clear to the Children of Israel that without Him they are nothing but that with His help anything is possible. Gideon’s victory over the Midianites with an army of just 300, for example.

As Psalm 33 puts it: “There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of an host; neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.”

Well similar rules appear to apply to the followers of Satan, who has a habit of ripping off all God’s best ideas. Sure, thanks to generations of cultivated psychopathy and repeated practice, his servants have developed all manner of skills and traits that make them really good at running the world: cruelty, ruthlessness, arrogance, deviousness, brutality, trickery, manipulativeness, and so on. But the icing on the cake is the supernatural fire support they get from Satan and his fellow fallen angels.

Can I prove to you beyond reasonable doubt that the world is swarming with largely invisible demons and evil junior gods and princes of the air and Nephilim, all manipulating the affairs of men in the service of Satan? Well ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ is a bit of an ask. The problem with the spiritual realm is that it is by nature occluded. You’re not going to have demons rolling up on your doorstep and going: “Now do you believe James?” As with so many other conspiracies, a lot of it is down to intelligent inference, based on piecing together different scraps of evidence.

So, from scripture you have everything from the appearance of the Nephilim in Genesis 6 (“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children unto them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown”) to Jesus (and later his disciples) casting out demons. Then you have the various occultists and mystics through the ages who claim to have experienced the demonic realm through visions or the use of grimoires. In modern times, we have the testimony of exorcists, not to mention lots of videos on social media of people who are quite possibly possessed. We also have interesting characters like Jerry Marzinsky, the Arizona psychiatrist who discovered that the voices in his mental patients’ heads were demonic, not self-generated. (The two podcasts I did with him here and here are well worth a listen). And this won’t necessarily convince you but it does me: I have a very good friend who was born with the gift of being able to see demonic entities (though only the lower tier, bottom feeder variety) feeding on victims’ negative emotions.

But I think the two best reasons for believing Catherine Austin Fitts’s theory can be derived from observation of the people who run the world. The first of these is their spooky levels of super competence. Most committees could scarcely run a bath, let alone a global conspiracy. Yet this handful of psychologically damaged, brain-fractured, sexually abused, psychopathic plutocrats are so next level genius at planning and executing their very long term schemes they can conjure fake phenomena - global warming! - out of thin air, and even stage entire World Wars to their advantage. Do you reckon they could achieve such things without supernatural aid? I don’t.

The other reason, as we’ve heard from whistleblowers like Ronald Bernard, is that these Elites are utterly obsessed with the occult, including stuff like ritual sacrifice of children. They do it in homage to the evil deities they worship - the same ones, historically, worshipped by the Canaanites and the Edomites and the Phoenicians and all the other tribal groups that practised child sacrifice. In return, the evil deities grant them their earthly wishes, a bit like the genie in the bottle. They are given power, success, fame, even on occasion special skills that render them superhuman, as former Illuminati bloodlines hitman Nathan Reynolds explained on a podcast we did together. Are these evil deities just figments of the Cabal’s wicked imagination? Well maybe. But if they are, these non-existent beings have a pretty damn powerful placebo effect…

https://delingpole.substack.com/p/nathan-reynolds

Now I concede that what I’m saying here would seem utterly far fetched to any Normie reader. And that includes Normies who are Christians, by the way. I was a little surprised to read when I previously wrote on this subject some comments saying: “Christians know this already.”

Er, actually, no most of them very much don’t. In my various picturesque, rustic local churches on Sunday, I take communion with a number of decent, God-fearing country folk, and I doubt a single one of them understands that the world is run by Illuminati bloodlines types in league with the actual Devil and his crew of demons. These people, I’d say, are much more representative of your typical Christian than us crazy, Christian, rabbit hole awake types. Sorry. I wish it were otherwise. But most Christians are Normies.

Personally I have no beef with the Normies. a) I used to be one myself and b) it’s not their fault that they think the way they do because they’ve been put under a huge spell.

But the Awake have no such excuse. At least those among the Awake who resolutely insist that there’s an earthbound explanation for everything that is happening in the world right now and that we need to focus our attention on the human perpetrators and on resisting such iniquitous impositions as Central Bank Digital Currencies.

Well of course we should be resisting CBDCs and digital passports and the World Health Organisation. Of course we should be growing our own vegetables, rearing unregistered chickens and taking our children out of Their brainwashing education system. No one is saying we shouldn’t.

But I’m not buying the fatuous argument that if we talk about the supernatural stuff it somehow ‘discredits our cause’ or that it lets the Du Ponts and the Van Duyns and the Russells and the Orsinis and the Payseurs off the hook or - particularly absurd this one - that it credits our Enemies with powers They don’t have.

Really? These people have been running the world for a good 6,000 years. And you’re trying to tell me that we shouldn’t overestimate how powerful and evil they are because that’s a counsel of despair? If that’s what you think - though perhaps ‘think’ is a bit of a stretch given how little thought you’ve obviously given it - then you really need to look up the phrase ‘cognitive dissonance’, and maybe try to understand it this time.

I totally get that Normies won’t go there because they’re Normies and that’s fine, it simply does not compute for them. But the Awake people who refuse to accept the spiritual dimension of this war we’re fighting I do not get at all.

My question to these Awake supernatural deniers is this: where was it, exactly, that you decided to draw the line under your researches down the rabbit hole?

So you got as far as JFK, and 9/11 and maybe the Moon Landings. You’ll have worked out that most of the history that’s sold to us is fake and that the entertainment, music and media industries are giant brainwashing exercises and that the people in government are just puppets of a predatory, parasite class with a one world government agenda. But once you’d got that far, did not your curiosity pique you to research the whys and wherefores?

What did you make it of it when you got to DUMBs, underground tunnels, adrenochrome, Satanic Ritual Abuse and child trafficking being one of the world’s richest black market industries?

Did you shrug your shoulders and go: “Nah. Too unpleasant. So I’m going to tell myself that this stuff doesn’t happen?” Or did you accept it does happen but choose to play down its ritual occult connotations by telling yourself: “Hey, it’s just what Elites do. They’re a bunch of pervs. Oh and also, they find it useful for collecting Kompromat and enforcing blackmail.”?

And when you were engaged in all your researches down the rabbit hole did you impose on yourself some kind of arbitrary rule, where you decided: “I’m fine with stuff that points the finger at the Venetians, or the City of London, or the Jews or the Jesuits or the freemasons. But I’m absolutely not going to engage with anything esoteric. So I don’t want to know about the Kabbala, or the Babylonian Mystery Religions, or John Dee, or miracles, or demonic possession, or exorcism, or Aleister Crowley, or any of that mumbo jumbo?”

Oh, and the Bible. What about the Bible? It’s the bestselling book in history by far and it has influenced quite a few people, some of them not stupid, so it must have something going for it. Did you just discount the whole lot because you were satisfied with the claim you read somewhere on the internet that it was all just made up as some kind of control mechanism to keep mankind in check or that Christianity was invented by the Jews or the Romans or something?

I read the Bible every day, partly, yes, because I’m a Christian. But partly because it really ought to be a sine qua non for any half way decent conspiracy theorist. That’s because the Bible, more than any other book I’ve read, supplies a coherent explanation for what’s happening in the world right now. Most helpfully, it explains the baddies’ motive.

They’re not in it merely for the money, power, helicopters, volcano island lairs, perverted sex and 33 Club membership, though obviously those are some of the perks. They’re in it, above all, because they hate God and want to make Him redundant - just like in the Tower of Babel story - by showing that anything He can do they can do better. Sure it’s a bit more complicated and nuanced than that but that’s the basic deal. In particular, the baddies hate God’s creation - which is you and me - and so take great delight in torturing us, immiserating us, enslaving us, killing us etc.

Well this is the explanation that I personally find most intellectually persuasive. It makes intuitive sense; the internal logic is coherent; it is an understanding of the world which has been shared by many of the cleverest people who ever lived - over many generations.

But I have absolutely no problem with people who disagree with me. We’re a very disparate bunch, we Awake folk and we’re all at different stages of our journey. I don’t expect everyone who is down the rabbit hole to share my Christian outlook. All I do insist on is that if you ARE going to try inflicting on me your competing theory - whether it’s the Annunaki or ‘We’re all in a simulation’ or ‘Christianity is a Jewish plot’ or whatever - you at least present me with a coherent argument and show me your sources. [“I read it in one of David Icke’s books” won’t cut it, I’m afraid, because his own sourcing, as I establish in my essay, is abysmal].

I believe, for example, as Catherine Austin Fitts seems to do that the creatures flying around in flying saucers and beaming up unsuspecting humans to give them anal probes are NOT aliens from Outer Space (which in my view is fake and gay) but demonic entities related to the fallen angels. Feel free to go: “No. You’re wrong. They’re definitely aliens from outer space” - but first I’d like to see your evidence for outer space actually existing, and secondly I’d like you to explain to me who you think it was that made these aliens and why? (And I’m not buying Big Bang, which was a Jesuit invention).

So yes: a combination of demons and bloodline families is the hill I’m currently prepared to die on.

And because I quite like Catherine Austin Fitts - even if I’m not ruling out the possibility that she might be an Enemy Agent - I’m taking her statement which elides with my own position as a ‘win’ for the cause of truth, justice and general Awakeness.

Trump Is Right to Call Out the White Genocide on South African Farmers

I try to avoid reading newspapers because I know they’re only going to annoy me. So it was probably a huge mistake on my part to read a Telegraph article the other day about President Trump’s Oval Office meeting with the president of South Africa. It was titled Ramaphosa ambushed over ‘white genocide’ - and of course it drove me nuts.

Here is one of the paragraphs that annoyed me:

Experts in South Africa say there is no evidence of white people being targeted, although farmers of all races are victims of violent home invasions in a country with a very high crime rate.

And here is the reporter’s hot take on Julius Malema, the leader of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), who ought more accurately to be called the Kill Whitey Party, because that’s their main campaigning point. At rallies, Malema and his fans sing a jaunty song called “Shoot the Boer.’

Anyway, according to the Telegraph’s Connor Stringer, Deputy US Editor:

Opponents differ on whether Mr Malema is a dangerous dictator-in-waiting with fascist leaning or little more than a brash showman with a genius for stirring up notoriety and controversy.

Now obviously, what I should have done was not read the article at all. Failing that, what I should at least have done is shrug and go “Well this is what the MSM is like. You know it is. A perpetual lie machine.”

I suppose my problem was that having spent a few years in my twenties on the staff of the Telegraph, first as a diarist, latterly as an arts correspondent (and very occasional hard news reporter: I covered the LA Riots), I have a certain vestigial fondness for the paper that used to consider itself the house journal of the Tory shires. That is, the Telegraph represented - or at least pretended to represent - the old fashioned virtues and traditions of English country folk.

Quite possibly none of those readers remain. It has been a very long time since the Telegraphpublished a credible news article. And, of course, like all the MSM, it covered it itself in inglory during the Plandemic when it regurgitated government/WHO talking points in return for sack loads of cash a) from the taxpayer via government advertising and b) from Bill Gates. Even so, I do think it is a grievous insult to its old audience, and its traditions and values, to run news stories so biased, so inept, so knee-jerk anti-white that they might have been dashed off by an especially thick and rabid student Marxist at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at London University.

As you know, I’m no Trump fanboi. But I do think when Trump says stuff that is objectively true he ought to be given credit for it, regardless of the ideological sympathies of the publications reporting on it.

Genocide is a much overused word. But Trump is right. What is happening to white farmers in South Africa right now definitely counts as a ‘genocide’, which is defined as “acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.”

And here, to prove it statistically, is a characteristically measured analysis by my old friend Norman Fenton, who did so much good work during ‘Covid’ calling out the government’s statistical lies:

https://wherearethenumbers.substack.com/p/can-concerns-about-murders-of-white

Here is the TL;DR

Although the hypothesis of a recent genocide against white South African farmers is difficult to define, it cannot be dismissed based on the data used by the mainstream media to do so. We have shown that, in a country with one of the highest murder rates in the world white farmers are currently more than twice as likely to murdered that an ‘average’ South African. We have also shown an alarming difference in the recent rate of murders of black and white farmers – a difference which was not evidence in 1990. When the approximate data for the years 2017-2022 is aggregated and full account is taken of the very wide uncertainty of the data using a Bayesian analysis, it is almost certain (99.98% probability) that the murder rate of white farmers is at least twice as high as that for black farmers, and highly likely (96.95% probability) to be at least three times as high. While these figures do not ‘prove’ that there is a genocide against white farmers they do provide undeniable evidence that in recent years white farmers are more likely to be murdered. The fact that the number of white farmers in South Africa has fallen from over 100,000 in 1986 to less than 40,000 today also suggests at least an unnatural exodus.

Case closed.

Everybody Knows Leonard Cohen Was An Illuminati Secret Agent

In my recent piece You Really Don’t Want To Be Famous, I mentioned the fact that Leonard Cohen was an Illuminati Secret Agent.

https://jamesdelingpole.locals.com/upost/6953961/you-really-dont-want-to-be-famous

No one in the comments thus far sounds particularly surprised, so I’m assuming that the information must be common knowledge, at least among my discerning readership.

But if you don't mind, I’d like briefly to enlarge on this subject because I don’t think it’s of negligible significance. Perhaps I should have done this in the original piece but I thought it had gone on quite long enough and that it was already filled with sufficient Ferrero Rocher treatlets for one article.

I mentioned that I originally got my information on Cohen from a 2015 article on the Henry Makow website. The bit that especially piqued my interest was the remark in the comments from someone called Dan. It was referring to the cover of Cohen’s 1992 album The Future which depicted a hummingbird rising up from a black and blue heart. Below it are some open handcuffs.

Here is the comment:

The hummingbird and handcuffs on the album jacket of 'The Future' always made me think of this passage from the novel 'Cockpit' by another mysterious fellow, Jerzy Kosinski.

"I was one of the specially trained groups of agents called "the hummingbirds". The men and women of this group are so valuable that to protect their covers no central file is kept on them and their identities are seldom divulged to other agents. Most hummingbirds remain on assignment as long as they lead active cover lives, usually as high-ranking government officials, military or cultural officials based in foreign countries. Others serve as businessmen, scientists, editors, writers and artists. But I always used to wonder what would happen if a hummingbird vanished, leaving no proof..."

[Jerzy Kosiński was a Polish-American author who, if we are to believe Wikipedia, had sold an estimated 70 million books by 1991. His most famous novel, The Painted Bird, was ‘for many years regarded as an essential part of the literary Holocaust canon’ because - spiced up with rape, bestiality, etc - it was widely thought to be a lightly fictionalised account of his genuine experiences as a Jew in wartime Eastern Europe. It fell out of fashion when it was exposed as completely made up. Kosinski and his family had spent the war years hiding with a Polish Catholic family who had sheltered them from the Germans and he had never been mistreated. He was also revealed to be a plagiarist]

They have to tell us, don’t They?

My instincts, at any rate, tell me that these ‘hummingbirds’ are not a literary invention but a genuine thing. Readers with time on their hands might find it amusing to speculate on which other characters in the public eye - businessmen, scientists, editors, writers and artists - are deep cover Illuminati agents. Is Russell Brand too obvious a choice? What about Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Borat?

I think the case of Leonard Cohen lays to rest a claim commonly made by sceptical Normies: that the notion of a Grand Universal Conspiracy is preposterous because no group of people, however rich, powerful and devious, could micromanage a plot on such a scale.

The life and career of Leonard Cohen proves that They can by illustrating both their extraordinary attention to detail and their ability to get things done.

Cohen was as manufactured as Backstreet Boys, Take That, or One Direction. The difference is that Cohen was manufactured as a star not in the notoriously synthetic realm of boy band pop music but into areas - first poetry, then folk music, then coffee table, lightly arty mood music for grown ups - where authenticity is supposed to be everything. And They did it so well that for years, no one rumbled him.

Really this ought not to be a surprise to anyone who has read David McGowan’s Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon about how the CIA et al effectively invented all your favourite late Sixties anthems from For What It’s Worth to Monday Monday. Nor to anyone familiar with Sage of Quay’s deep dives into the true history of Tavistock Institute creations The Beatles.

But it often does surprise us because even those of us who ought to know better can rarely wholly free themselves from the influence of a lifetime’s programming. If you’re an old hippy who spent your late teenage years skinning up on your cherished, dogeared copy of Songs for Leonard Cohen, or you still fondly remember the driving Eighties synth beats and cool female backing vocals on First We Take Manhattan or you’ve ever enjoyed one of the umpteen cover versions of his (overrated)Hallelujah, it’s quite hard simultaneously to hold in your nostalgia-warped brain the concept that this guy was a fraud, a fake, and a liar who hated you and wanted to destroy everything you held dear.

That’s why people like Leonard Cohen - and the people who create and control characters like Leonard Cohen - still rule the world. Because they’ve had millennia of practice and they’re really good at it.

And when I say millennia I do mean millennia.

Here, by way of a parting titbit, is another intriguing comment from that Henry Makow article.

According to Rothschilds own biography "Prophets of Money, chapter: a royal Caucasian family" it is said that they are really proud of having married into THE Cohen family. Who are THE Cohen versus the masses of ordinary Cohens? THE Cohens can trace their ancestry back to Babylon!!! There is refrain of a Cohen song: and I belong at last to Babylon....

I think it refers to the Niall Ferguson’s 1998 authorised biography whose correct title is The House of Rothschild: Volume 1; Money’s Prophets. Perhaps someone who has access to a copy might care to verify if this reference is correct. Huge if true: an Illuminati bloodline so august and ancient that even the Rothschilds stand in awe…
