In this episode we talk with Isaac Weishaupt about the work he’s been involved in regarding occult symbology in mainstream media. We get into some stuff on stanley kubrick and the various influences of occult and mainstream media.

From Isaac’s Blog:

Hello, my name is Isaac Weishaupt and I’m the founder of IlluminatiWatcher.com. I’ve been researching my entire life as an ongoing mission to determine if this reality is the truth or a cunning holographic deception. I don’t fully subscribe to any conspiracy theories, but I do find some intriguing if they resonate with any logic (also if they don’t, who am I kidding, some of them are just clever). I live in America and feel that a lot of peopEpisode source imagele are more concerned with being entertained than being informed or educated. Our media reflects that. I do listen to all kinds of music, although I feel as if it is almost manipulative so I also listen to smooth jazz and classical to balance the more hardcore stuff out. I focus on the Illuminati, transhumanism, religion, aliens, cults, horror, music, various conspiracy theorists (e.g. Freeman Fly, David Icke, et. al.) and the occult. This website is just a bite into some of the material I dig through daily, I figured I might as well share some of it in case there are others out there who follow the same breadth of material that I do.

For those of you who’d like to learn a bit more about what got me interested in all of this, I’ll give you a brief rundown of the synchronistic events that you and I together at this moment. It all started back in the 1990s when I was first giving thought to subjects like extraterrestrials and government cover-ups through the show X-Files. I was interested in other alien-related works of art like The Head, the docu-drama film Fire in the Sky, and of course, the Alien films. At this point of my life it was merely an interest, but it was intense enough that it never fully left my mind. I recall walking around one night with a friend that held similar interests and we would shout out to the sky to have aliens abduct us, just so we would know for certain if it was true. Of course that is a ridiculous thing to do (on many levels- who would really want that to happen to them?!), but the point is that I knew I had a desire to find the truth, even in my adolescent years.

When I turned 18 I joined the military and met a lot of great people in my journeys. One friend I met in South Korea turned me on to William Cooper’s Behold a Pale Horse. I obtained a copy of this book and it BLEW MY MIND! A lot of the material referenced in X-Files was actually showing up in the former Naval Intelligence Officer’s book (e.g. Majestic 12, cover-ups, etc.). The book really opened up my mind to a higher level agenda than merely covering up extraterrestrial existence. It gave me the awareness to realize that perhaps we were being deceived for the gain of some shadowy group here on Earth…

Quotes

Five substantial excerpts from the published transcript, lightly edited for clarity without changing their meaning.

  1. “By adolescence, the mind contains many learned patterns linking an event with an expected result. Some people carry those early narratives through life without examining them. Breaking the programming begins by recognizing that a repeated expectation is a mental pattern, not necessarily an accurate prediction of what must happen next.”
    From the conversation
  2. “Western esoteric orders draw from Kabbalah, paganism, Wicca, and other mystical systems. Despite their differences, many share the belief that ritual and symbols can direct will and alter experience. Studying the recurring symbols is one way to understand the worldview, though similarity does not prove a single organization controls every use.”
    From the conversation
  3. “Writers such as Kenneth Grant described channeling nonhuman entities within an offshoot of Aleister Crowley’s tradition. Reading those texts establishes that the ideas exist in occult literature; it does not establish that the entities are objectively real or that every secret society shares the same practice. Claims, influences, and evidence must remain distinct.”
    From the conversation
  4. “Occult interpretations connect the Age of Aquarius with technology and a transformation of humanity. Some commentators then read celebrity deaths through that symbolic system. Those associations may reveal how a narrative is constructed, but repeated imagery and coincidental dates do not by themselves demonstrate ritual sacrifice.”
    From the conversation
  5. “Terence McKenna called conspiracy theory an epistemological cartoon of reality. The more frightening possibility may be that no hidden group is fully in control—that power emerges from competing institutions, imitation, incentives, and chaotic systems. A complex failure can look coordinated even when no single hand holds all the strings.”
