Nicely done. Just the title of her song screams occult.

Thanks VC for posting this, I do not watch any videos anymore.
I only read what they are about.
It is funny that people like ''us'' see through a lot of things in the video..

+2

For example, no back spine.. that is a saying in Dutch so everyone should notice that.
But her true fans and other people who are unaware think it is just fashion and expression.
Odd actually that she shows us all the details about the price of fame.
It is really strange that they are showing us these things.
I don't understand why people still love her so much, what does she have to offer?
She doesn't teach the youth any good things.
If Britney would tell us she sniffed coke and did drugs a lot. Was a lesbian/bi
Everyone would gossip all day and it would be so bad.
Gaga is getting away with all of it. The companies want a person who will be bad..
Do everything they want, so they can come into our minds.
We are all programmed, yet we believe the true artist are not. Because they acts so normal
And they talk and laugh,, funny that Gaga is showing the otherside of it.

As soon as I saw this video, I told myself: Damn, this VC dude was right all along! The first part is 100% about
mind control. Can't be more blatant than this.
Reply

Lina 174 weeks ago

I watched this yesterday and came to the same conclusions. The video reads like a book. I don't know whether it's
supposed to be a wake up call or as you've concluded promoting the subject matters as cool and desirable. Either
way it's very sad to know this type of thing is indeed reality because at this point, it's hard to deny.

The parts in the video where she was putting the hair dye on, lieing on the bed and pouring cereal over herself,
seemed too real to be scripted, it's like she has adopted the alter personality of a child in those particular bits. I'm
not sure if anyone else thought this too, it's really quite disturbing! It seems she has had some programming of
some sort.

These symbols and hidden meanings are just to blatantly obvious to be ignored or shoved off as artistic

I have one Question, you say Lady Gaga has been brain washed and they are now using mind control on here (or
there is a possibility that they are). Now if they are controlling her, I am sure Gaga (in a normal state of mind)
would resent this, and tell the media. But because they are controlling her, they would most likely be a big part of
her directorial decisions. Why would they let her (or even make her) put so many references to the Illuminati and
mind control in her video?

It seems weird that it is so blatant in symbolism. Of course it makes sense that MTV ignores all the symbolism.
They don't want us to know this so they can keep conditioning us. But I wonder, if she is making it so blantant,
how much really happened to her (not literally) and how much of it she just wants us to believe happened to her.
Obviously she gets a lot of attention for this stuff. Now I am going to start thinking about happier things. Her
video gave me the creeps.

It was kind of like throwing a temper tantrum or something. But way creepier, because a child would not writhe
around like that half naked. And looked like she very much had a screw loose. I just don't get why people want to
be entertained by this. And then when the music finally started, I just thought people will think of this as some
kind of power anthem, you can't keep me down! But that is false, because she is so far down it is not funny!

When I first saw the video and her "pathetique" I knew there was a much more sinister meaning behind it all
involving rituals and mind control, but there were also a lot of things that I missed (her being "spineless") or that I
wasn't quite sure about. Great breakdown of the video!
Reply

Felicia 174 weeks ago

Thank you so much VC for posting this! Me and my sister come to your site all the time and discuss this stuff for
hours! If I had watched this video without an explanation, I would be able to tell that there was some dark
symbolism there, but I would never be able to break it all down and fully understand it. Thank you so much for
helping those who "really want to know" what all this stuff means...

Bela 174 weeks ago

I just don't get why would the occult elite in control of the media let something like this out. It seems to me that
Gaga is quickly rising towards her next crash and it won't be pretty. Now that she's got spotlights pointed at her
anything that happens will become gossip. I wonder if she is indeed trying to sell it as something nice or if she's
trying to double-cross them by sending wake-up calls to the fans.

Also, please notice - she combines water (rain) and fire together, the Sun and the Moon, Gaga's doing alchemical
work - coniunctio.

Pseudoman97 174 weeks ago

Let me clarify:
The term "sell one's soul" is definitely not literal when it comes to Illuminati (of course); it must mean "sacrifice
yourself", "subject yourself to them", "marry the night :-P" or anything that shows that a person was voluntary to
do it.

Therefore, if Gaga was part of this since birth, it is not her choice and she's a slave ever since.
Then,
how did she "marry the night"?
