Radio GaGa?
March 15, 2010 5:08 AM   Subscribe

Lady Gaga’s 9-minute video featuring Beyoncé is steeped in weirdness and shock value. Behind the strange aesthetic, however, lies a deeper meaning, another level of interpretation. The video refers to mind control and, more specifically, Monarch Programming, a covert technique profusely used in the entertainment industry. We’ll look at the occult meaning of the video Telephone. The Hidden Meaning of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone”, follow up to hugely entertaining Lady Gaga, the Illuminati puppet (previously).

In the video, the “telephone” is a metaphor for Gaga’s brain and the fact that she is not answering that phone (her brain) means that she has “dissociated” from reality.

Well, you can't really argue with that.

Those music videos are made to create controversy, and thus to get free publicity. Nothing more, nothing less. No further interpretation needed.

Not enough coffee to process the crazy yet. Be back soon.

If, like me, you haven't seen the video yet and if, like me, you are at work and if, like me, you want some background before reading the article, don't do what I did, which was to look for it on YouTube.

I love this whacked-out video, mostly because it pays homage to "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Klll!," but holy batphone, this link is an indigestible plate of beans, that's for sure.

No, there doesn't.

It is really a shame Robert Anton Wilson didn't live to see this.

What most probably don't realize is that Vigilant is part of the conspiracy. I know whenever I setup a pop culture mind control assassin, one of the first things I do is get some dupe on the internet to talk about the "secret" conspiracy behind it all. Conspiracy freaks are very suceptible to these kind of simple tricks. You always need to control both sides of the game, and this method provides the perfect cover.

Of course not.

2-7 = -5.

This is the first Lady Gaga video I've ever watched.

I'm maybe too old for this stuff. Or something. Girl can't act for shit. I dig her nose, though. Her nose is fantastic. Especially in profile.

How thoroughly interesting to learn that she is a tool of the Illuminati elite. The internet is a wonderful place, isn't it? The things you can learn!

Where can I get one of those Pussy Wagons? Cause I need a Pussy Wagon.

This is also the first Lady Gaga video I've ever watched. It's deliberately shocking, titillating and obtuse. All things that the music is not.

I love LG in theory, her campyness, her performances, the reactions she brings out in others, etc. However, the actual music and videos bore the crap out of me. I Can never seem to actually listen/watch a whole one.
