Having just recovered from a global scorning following her lip -synced rendition of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’, Mrs Carter (nèe Beyonce Knowles) has once again fallen from grace as bloggers and journalists accuse her of playing devil’s advocate – quite literally. During her performance at the Superbowl, enthusiastic fans witnessed her display the triangular hand gesture, synonymous with the Illuminati clan, and this sent Twitter into frenzy, with worried Tweeters discussing her brazen representation of the sect. Lest you seem to have fallen into the crevice of ignorant bliss concerning all matters Illuminati-related, allow me to brief you through their beliefs and behavioural patterns.
The Illuminati are a group of people claiming to have acquired an exclusive knowledge, or ‘enlightenment’ about to the future of the world. Initiated in 1776 as a secret sect by the Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt, and a handful of highly commendable comrades in Bavaria, they believed themselves to be ‘perfectibilists and exemplary in their field’, and felt the world should follow suit. Operating as secret Satanic-like force, ready to eliminate the weakest links in society to create a ‘New Order’ of society, they worked hard to maintain anonymity, and prevail in maintaining stature, prosperity, education and that je-ne –sais-quoi that separated them from the lay man, who gazed into his empty can of Bav for the answers to life’s mysteries. In any case, the internet is awash with rumours of popular and well-regarded figures using the Illuminati as a vessel for their evil intent, including music industry moguls Jay-Z , Beyonce, Kanye West, Lady Gaga and many more high profile celebrities. So, basically, we are all in jeopardy of mind infiltration, succumbing to the powers of Satan, leading to our eventual demise!
Let’s assess Beyonce’s history of dodgy dealings with the Devil for just a second.
Exhibit A: Observe: Beyonce at the prime of her wholesome Destiny’s Child days – a time of female independence, sass and self-discovery. Faithful to the name with which she and her girlfriends were ordained, their image was fun, sassy and sexy, yet innocent and pure.
Exhibit B: The newly solo Beyonce had undergone some kind of voodoo-like reincarnation, amalgamating her old lady-like self with another entity. This new Bey is feisty, ‘crazy’, very sexy and a bit intimidating. Recognise that at this point she is speculated to be dating Jay-Z, who features in her first single, ‘Crazy in Love’, and he is believed to be ring-leader of this modern celebrity Illuminati – a mere coincidence, or a milestone on her journey to the sacrifice of her soul? Is Jay-Z really just a successful and charming suitor, or is he acting as interlocutor between Knowles and the Dark Lord, etc.?
Exhibit C: The frequent use of the triangular symbol adopted by Jay-Z stands for his record label, Roc-A-Fella. Coincidentally, one can interpret the triangular hand gesture as standing for the ‘all seeing eye’; the Illuminati’s supposedly omniscient presence. Since their marriage, Beyonce has started to display this symbol in concerts, and when out with Jay-Z. She has furthermore increased her use of Illuminati iconography in her third, and possibly most successful solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce. The title alone has fallen subject to many debates of how heavily steeped she is in this alter ego, Sasha Fierce – an audacious, domineering and enchanting persona she acquires in performance mode, before returning to her true humble and wholesome self again, Beyonce. Is Sasha Fierce an Illuminati demon possessing the mortal body of our lovely Bey, adorning her body with symbols of triangles and images Baphomet, the goat-demon typically portrayed in a Satanic pentagram? Some have decoded the name of the power couple’s first-born as a tribute to the Satanic force which has driven their success: world, let me introduce you to Blue Ivy – Born Living Under Evil, Illuminati’s Very Youngest. SEE?!
I’ll leave it to you to decide if this is all mere circumstance and coincidence, or if Beyonce really is a Satan-loving harlot hell-bent on world domination and destruction. Either way, I think we can all agree that girl is fabulous. See you in The O2 in May!
