Then we have this shot where there is an upside down cross mixed with triangles (assuming they represent the all seeing eye pyramid)

This is my two cents... But why would the Illuminati waste all this time and money putting there symbols in crappy hip-hop and rap videos? It doesn't make any sense to me. What is the return on investment by putting there symbols in these videos. I thought the purpose of being a secret society was to be hidden from the public's view, not branding them symbols in music videos.

Do you really think some R&B singer is "in the know" and a member of some secret society? Of course not... she is only using these symbols because it's cool and trendy. I'm certain that she has no idea what they mean and the history of them. I would also say that she is just the singer and had nothing to do with the design or theme of it.

Is that for real?
No wonder we need help, we've lost the plot big time.
Just for the record I didn't allow my son to wear a pentagram pin on his hat (which he had until I noticed it)
Most people have no idea who's symbols they are.

of course, because it 'Cool' to utilize Symbols that you know nothing about, it makes you look 'Edgy' and 'Cutting Edge' it makes people think you are Mysterious because you use 'Symbols'
nothing more than that

Occam's Razor: "They" use it because it sells. Period. End of story. No Santa Claus, no "Easter Bunny," and no Uncle Mikey. Conspiracy theories are simply part of our shared mythology.
In other words, the growth of conspiracy theory websites, TV shows, media and movies is evidence that this material appeals to people. Therefore, artists incorporate symbols, language, story and metaphor -- FROM conspiracy theories -- to appeal to conspiracy theory lovin' audiences.
Evidence: There are artists here on ATS who produce material incorporating conspiracy theory material, because they like it, are interested in it, are using at as a metaphor for something else or -- are trying to appeal to people who enjoy this type of material.
Proof: I am an poet, musician and songwriter. I freely borrow from this shared mythology because I enjoy expressing myself through the metaphor. I specifically created an entire album, around the concept of conspiracy theory as arch-metaphor, and I posted it ON ATS, HERE.

Yea, I hear that, but honestly would anyone even pick up on them unless they were attuned to what they actually were?
