I would but forth the idea that music is inherently manipulative. EVERY good peace of music should toy with your emotions and move you, but I would also say this is a good thing. As far as controlling culture, honestly I think the masses are kinda already so stupid that nothing more need be done.
Id reply to that by saying yes I agree the masses are easily guided, but every year another swathe of kids reaches the ages that they discover music and are then hooked into the whole thing.
I have more faith in society as a whole, I know the masses are ignorant, but it only takes a few good men to take the lead and open the eyes of the ignorant so they can then take steps to study for themselves and open their own eyes on the path to wisdom and greater knowledge. Because knowledge is power, to know the weapons of the enemy allows you to counter those weapons or make those weapons ineffective.
The main weapons of the enemy are secrecy, financial control and mental control.
Secrecy is maintained by the secret societies and groups like the bilderberg group, the committee of 300, the CFR, the trilateral commission etc etc.
Financial Control is maintained by the corporate owned Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, The IMF, the world bank etc etc.
Mental control is maintained through religion, the damn TV set, popular culture, movies and games and other "entertainment".
Spread the word of the elites and this destroys their secrecy, know who they are. Learn the history of the Rothchilds, the Warbergs, the Rockefellers, the British Royal Family, the Dutch royal family. Learn about the Opium wars with China, which made some of the US aristocracy their fortunes, including the Forbes, and the Russells. Drug money which funded the creation of Yale university. And the Skull and Bones society, coincidentally(sarcasm) the ships that carried the opium into china flew the skull and crossbones. So that begs the question who were the real pirates.
Learn about how the Federal Reserve came to be, how it is nothing federal at all and who owns it. Learn how Nathan Rothschild managed to gain control of the Bank Of England. Learn how fractional reserve banking works, how banks lend your money to others with an interest rate so they get rich from your money. Able to lend 10 times what they actually have as customer savings, learn about the digital creation of money out of thin air, where money can be created and loaned to you just by typing some numbers into a computer.
Learn about the founding of Israel and the Balfour Declaration. Learn how fiat(paper) money is actually your debt paid for by taxation. Find out how you are a financial slave to the banking cartels that own the private banks.
Take away their secrecy and shine a light onto their deeds and manipulations of mankind not to mention their crimes against humanity and you take away one of their weapons, the secrecy.
Take your money out of the banking system, keep it in a personal safe or some other safe place, dont use debit or credit cards or other forms of credit, dont be a part of their financial control systems, dont shop at supermarkets, buy locally from small businesses and help your community in that way. The corporate world of Tescos, walmart etc dont give a fuck about you, if they did their food wouldnt be so full of harmful substances like MSG, Aspartame, chemical E number substances, lots of salt, lacking in real nutrition, genetically modified produce and mass farmed livestock treated in cruel and sickening ways to feed our desire for cheaper food.
Dont play their game.
As for the mental slavery, turn off the tv set, stop following pointless sports that are funded massively to keep us entertained and our eyes off the ball. Look online while internet censorship is still not a reality, but will soon be. And above all question everything with an open mind, but question everything, dont take anything for fact until pieces of the puzzle start to fit together and they will. Read, watch documentaries, slowly but surely what seemed like coincidences start to not be so, the web of deceit that covers the globe will soon start to become apparent and the world we took for granted starts to take a different form. A world of lies and deception that is so extensive that it will blow your mind.
Dont take my word for it, empower yourself, study for yourself, take your own red pill, Im just some cunt on the internet that could be talking bollocks, EMPOWER YOURSELVES.
