Talib Kweli talks Illuminati Theories, talks about Jay Z, Beyonce, Kanye West and Rihanna
This recent rash of rumors about the alleged Illuminati ties of people like Jay-Z, Rihanna, Oprah and whoever else has got to be one of the corniest trends in rap ever. This is easily the corniest shit since the “Stop Snitching” debate. Are you all fucking serious with this shit? A Black man (or woman) rises to a certain level of success and the only way to explain that in ya’ll minds is that they must be in bed with some secret society? This mentality disgusts me. Shame on you morons who just discovered internet conspiracy theories last year and are now running around spouting these nonsensical tales to the babies.
Look, like Talib, I read all of the Behold A Pale Horse books when I was younger and I bought into a lot of it. And to this day I’m pretty certain that there are in fact wealthy and powerful people out there, that we’ve never heard of and probably never will, who orchestrate some of the major events that happen on this planet. Fucking duh.
Wow, what a fucking revelation: rich people run shit. Who knew. Seriously, who do you expect to be calling the shots, a bunch of poor, uneducated slobs? You mad? Well then I’d say stop wasting your time on the internet and get your fucking billions up and maybe one day you can be one of those people calling the shots.
Honestly, I think the most plausible explanation for the whole conspiracy theory movement/industry is that all of those wealthy shot caller types are planting these fantastic theories themselves so as to distract us from the much more pedestrian, but equally evil, shit that they’re really doing. Namely, keeping us poor and themselves rich. I don’t really see it being much deeper than that.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve argued with folks in the comments about this same topic. It’s like, so what if everything you guys are alledging is in fact true and the Illuminati is real and Jay and Oprah are conspirators? What the fuck are ya’ll gonna do about it? Start the revolution? You niggas can’t even get within 5 feet of Jay and O, much less the evil trillionaire overlord that is signing their paychecks.

So you’re telling me that 99% of these people JUST SO HAPPEN to enjoy the same symbolic images (in videos, concerts, clothes, etc) and hand gestures? It’s all a big coincidence, right? LOL. They just put it all in your face, knowing you’ll write it off as bs. Believe what you want, but you can’t say you weren’t enlightened, that’s for sure.

U r rite, a hand gesture like that is never made by any1 other than devil worshippers. Most ppl have never in their life put their hands n fingers like that purposely or insignificantly. Alotta times when there’s everyday coincidences, sum ppl naturally try to fit sum kind of silly explanation. Yeah u’ve just enlightened me to sum silliness. Btw it sounds so official when u add percentages u pulled outta yo ass… Dude it’s a BIG conspiracy man!

Shit Im just glad somebody said it! This shit is ridiculous.. Of course the group exist, but the fact that rappers (who aren’t even the biggest musical influeces there are-cause there are no rappers in the highest selling artists of of all time) are apart of it? Come on be real..it pisses me off to think that no one thinks for themselves anymore. Which makes me apart of the minority..jeez.. Hell yea the world is ending soon cause obviously they can trick you people into believing anything..

Thank you for being the voice of reason in this. LOL @ “Wow, what a fucking revelation: rich people run shit. Who knew.” Honestly, enough evil exists in the world that people certainly don’t need to look for evil in a secret society. It’s right out in the open, for all to see. The key to combat it? Be a good person. That’s right – don’t do evil shit in your home, to your family, to your friends, to your community. There you go. How about we try some of that?

I can tell you now that the “hand gestures” caught in photos and rap was in the middle of them doing things and I mean you catch the photo and they are wrong? When you look at it half of those signs people do it and don’t even know! I can assure you that all these rumors are ridiculous. Beyonce wears a ring that probably a million people wear also and she is the one being persecuted for it being a devil ring and the rest of the population wearing it doesn’t know?
Give it a break you sound ridiculous.

Well, all i can say is maybe they all are or maybe not. But check all these people out. They are all the definition of success. I don’t think its right for y’all to sit on your asses and condemn them, illuminati, free masons or not. Y’all think these are the only sins? Who among you can say he is more holy than any of these people? Let he without sin be the first to cast a stone. They are part of somthing & proud about it, y’all can try & be somthing or shut up about those who are something. Jay z this, Jay z that, hes influence has brought a lot of people out of poverty, what have you ‘righteous’ ones done.

Ive been doing my research on everything,mainly starting with the celebrities and it really makes me sad to see all these people that are blessed turning to the wrong side. With great fame there does come a price and everyone has heard that. There is truth to the story. Im not saying that all of these people worship the devil but what they are portraying is for a bigger and evil cause. People do the research for yourself…. you dont need anyone else to give you opinions b/c honestly the truth is out there. One of Jayz’s saying is do as thou wilt which says enough in itself. People wake up…. you know how in the bible it says not to worship idols?? Well these people are our modern day idols and they are misleading the people, they have the power to do that b/c of the fame that they posses. It gets deeper but people just need to do research and stop looking inside of this box that society has put us in….

If all this stuff is real they are oblivious to it. If this thing really exists they don’t even know they’re a part of it. That’s how tricky the devil is! God is at work just as the devil is tryina claim where he can.
God knows everything goin down so it’s all good, no worries because ultimately the Jesus already has the victory and he’s handing it out to all those prepared to grab it too. If you don’t know it you better get learned and then school the rest for goodness sake!!
