I have to admit it never occurred to me that Rick Astley would need to be vetted.
I only rather recently learned that Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, & Mary is a convicted sex offender who in a state of drunkeness opened his hotel door completely in the nude to two 14 yr old girls seeking his autograph & invited them in & they complied - and things went south from there. So all assertions that Puff the Magic Dragon is a harmless children's song by PP&M can no longer be taken seriously.
A google search has revealed that Rick Astley's uncle admitted last year to being a predatory paedophile - and I'll let it go at that as the comment associated w/ the article re this is just too sickening to reproduce. And the fact that Rick volunteered to testify in his uncle's behalf brings him in as guilty by association if nothing else.
And so, another one bites the dust . . .
FYI - in '87 when Never Gonna Give You Up hit the airwaves, I was the mother of a young toddler & a preschooler. I only occasionally heard the song on the radio then (and thru the years afterward) and my only real memory was of a singer w/ a powerful, masculine voice wearing a trenchcoat singing a catchy/dancey seemingly wholesome love song. But the song & RA can easily be 'given up' along w/ Where Have All the Flowers Gone & Blowin' In The Wind. I never purchased any of RA's or PPM's music & the latter was not included in a fairly recent Folk Music collection that I did buy.
I guess this goes to prove that the internet can & does serve a useful purpose in revealing the numerous scumbags passing themselves off as 'nice guys'. And, yes, my stomach is still churning in regards to the RA's sicko uncle - major eww!
Something to keep in mind as to how humor can be used against all the dark STS forces working so furiously to impose their horrid anti-values into every facet of our lives - esp our music!
After the song's initial success, speculation arose — as early as a 1964 article in Newsweek — that the song contained veiled references to smoking marijuana.[5] The word "paper" in the name of Puff's human friend (Jackie Paper) was said to be a reference to rolling papers, and the word "dragon" was interpreted as "draggin'," i.e. inhaling smoke; similarly, the name "Puff" was alleged to be a reference to taking a "puff" on a joint. The supposition was claimed to be common knowledge in a letter by a member of the public to The New York Times in 1984

Obviously, being a child of the 50s, it is oh, so apparent to me how much music has transformed. Sott actually posted an article referencing a meeting that made excruciatingly clear to those still in attendance (& sworn to secrecy w/ threat of death re the meeting) that the music industry was going to undergo a complete change w/ wholesome/sweet genres of music getting the heave ho & replaced w/ the explicit brand of smut/misogyny assaulting our ears today. And music videos have only served to pound that point home. A trip thru Vigilant Citizen will give one more than enough proof of the Brotherhood of the Serpent's work in that arena as well as fashion, or rather, Illuminati R Us.
Having myself a rather 'wonky' sense of humor, I've had to learn to be extra careful as to how I express that kind of humor - it can easily be misinterpreted. I do appreciate your explanation, however.
I've been following your posts & also appreciate your bringing in relevant transcript posts from the past. I really thought that I had read the majority of them, but now when I reread them, I'm like 'I don't remember that - did I miss that somehow?' So, it's been really helpful & useful to get a refresher on what transpired. Now, if I could just keep it all in the memory bank & not have it leak out!
Cheers!
I guess the trench coat should have been a dead giveaway.JEEP said:@ Goyacobol & BHelmet

I saw this the other day, and stuff like that sums up a large chunk of the internet as well.Perceval said:Pashalis said:If you look at the internet from the bigger picture and the fact that probably most of the people who have excess to it, are using it for silly things that dumb you down like Porn, video games, watching/sharing or listening to completely stupid stuff, then I think the C's statements above are most likely right on the mark.
That's pretty much what I thought of when they made that comment. Porn in particular has "taken over" so many men.

Well, thanks for your input - especially the disclaimer!! I vaguely remember Harmonic Convergence or even what it was about (I was never a New Ager) - that was in '87? That seems so long ago to me now. Any thought that music or music videos could be somehow nefarious simply wasn't in my awareness in any way back then. Plus, being the mother of small children, music & TV shows (Sesame St. and the like) for children was the predominate focus.

I don't have internet at home and I'm working exhausting job in a warehouse (including nightshifts), so I don't come here as I want to. I appreciate what you all do and I want to be part of this somehow. I'm not gonna vaccinate my kid, I hope this helps someone else to make a decision. I just hoped I'm not gonna be alone in all this crap, but it's a lesson I have to take? Well, :). I'm glad that you exist.
Thank you for the session.
Hello Martina, just pop your head in whenever you can, and you will be networking.
As for me, I was informed by my daughter today that she is going to vaccinate her children (not yet born) and that I will not be able to visit the children if I am not vaccinated.
Hmmmph! That's not going to happen..
OMGosh, Musicman, well that flat out sux - what is that bible quote about our greatest battles being with those of our own household? Ugh, Matt 10:36.
For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW; and A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.
Gee, thanks, right?

Well, technically, this is what they are doing, knowingly or not (knowingly for most mainstream artists à la Lady Gaga, see website VigilantCitizen for analysis).
Magic being defined as the application of spiritual knowledge to obtain desired ends, a subset of which is spells, incantations used to define and mold reality. To the extent that every sentence (and its accompanying intonation) is a specific carrier of meaning, if accepted either by system 1 or system 2 of the listener, it will come to be integrated into the subjective inner landscape, thus molding the perception of experiences, thus affecting judgment, thus influencing the action/reaction profiles of large swathes of the population. If this is not "casting a spell", i don't know what is - or should i also spell it out?
Every word is magic, every sentence is a spell, and to the extent such a sentence is acknowledged/internalized, it will hold sway over the receiver. (Read it over)
(Hence the the fact that Knowledge protects, by allowing for discernment between the Real and non-real, preventing the non-real (STS) from taking hold.)
Edit: p.s. thank you to laura and all the crew for this session, and thank you to the forum for this discussion!

Hello BHelmet, I was aware of that quote. I'm not going to let that situation unsettle me, in the time I was in the Navy I had every vaccination going, so I probably have all the antibodies under the sun.
Daughter is an intellectual, and has two degrees, so there's no arguing with her.
I just point her towards the research, and let her make up her own mind.
