...Just look at some of the comments posted in the community...Some are sane enough to know it's bullshit and yet there's one dumbass amongst them who thinks she's got it all figured out. Illuminati, white supremacist? I thought they were child-sacrificing Satan worshippers? What will they be next? Ice cream sellers?

The ORIGINAL Illuminati, not the propaganda version of the 20th century CREATED by Christians, had members ranging from all possible races. Illuminati was in fact one of the first groups to allow women to join them. Huh? You didn't know that? Well, what a suprise!

If Jay-Z has to respond to these rumours, you KNOW this nonsense has gotten far out of hands.

LET'S GET SOME THINGS STRAIGHT

1.Satan and Lucifer = Two different entities.
2.Satan is the adversary CREATED by God to test God's disciplines whereas Lucifer was the brightest angel of them all with a completely different purpose.
3.Lucifer has been mentioned ONCE in the bible and it was in Isaiah. This passage does NOT talk about Lucifer the angel, but a FALLEN KING. This passage in question is one of the reasons to why people think Lucifer is Satan, yet this is once again a misunderstanding caused by TRANSLATION.
4.Lucifer is called the lightbringer because he is associated with the planet Venus. Venus rises before the Sun, thus Lucifer is seen as a bringer of knowledge in occult circles, NOT a bringer of evil.
5. Do Freemasons worship Lucifer? If they do, then they worship a bringer of knowledge and Light. Not an evil caricature created by Christians to convert pagans into Christianity.
6. "He and that guy used Baphomet in a music video, thus he worships Satan!" Your ignorance in symbolism is showing. Baphomet represents the forces between light and dark, good and bad ALL brought into BALANCE in one being. That being in this case being Baphomet. The purpose of all occultists, freemasons and other spiritualists is to gain this balance between their darker and lighter sides. OH GOD! SO EVIL!

6 facts. Is this a coincidence? 666, the number of the beast, right?! NO! 616 is the number of the beast. Didn't know that? Well, what a suprise...

You caps racist. :(

Personally, if I was famous...I'd put as many satanic symbols in my songs as possible.

Soon, all conspiracy guys would stop talking to me, because I'm evil and out to kill them if they waste my time, which is exactly the frame I want to have.

The conspiracy theorists on there are already having massive psychological clashes with this song, lol. They are twisting his words in order to validate their beliefs.

They just love the black and white checked floorboards, the devil hooks finger signs and of course the pyramid/eye statues. If any of those show themselves in a video you better believe the CT's are going to fall all over it.

Same here.

You sound like a concern troll.

I don't think the murals are controversial. They're just not my particular taste when it comes to art.

Many people aren't aware of nutbags who read shit into every single thing. That probably explains why the artist used the symbolism he did. I heard a podcast that explained the artist's intentions with the imagery he used and it was totally benign.

The swastika theory was bolstered by the Nazi-like figure in those artistic murals depicting, supposedly, the Illuminati's plans to reduce the Earth's population. In fact those two creepy murals were each half of a diptych, a two-part mural, each depicting a hopeful message of man's journey from brutality to peace. They were made by Chicano artist Leo Tanguma, one of several artists commissioned to paint similar murals throughout Denver International. The Children of the World Dream of Peace shows a menacing Nazi-style soldier wreaking havoc and fear, and includes a poem written by an actual child who died at Auschwitz. In the second half of this diptych, the soldier is dead, and the children of all nations come together over his corpse and beat the world's swords into plowshares, inspired by the Bible verses Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3.

Tanguma's other mural, In Peace and Harmony with Nature, shows the Earth suffering from exploitation, and some species extinct and now found only behind museum glass, mistaken by the conspiracy theorists for elite species being protected from the Apocalypse. The alleged Mayan reference to 2012 is simply a small piece of carved stone with Mayan-style decorations held by one figure in the mural and representing the decline of indigenous populations. (Tanguma himself is a Mayan.) The second half of this diptych shows children from all nations gathering at the flowering tree of peace on a rejuvenated Earth.

But the conspiracy theorists have been told all this; they simply choose to regard it as untrue; in part because of that warning etched into the floor near Tanguma's murals that Australia Antigen will be used to kill us all. Colorado is well known for its history of gold and silver mines, and so a mine car full of Au and Ag is a most appropriate symbol for the state. Is it also an appropriate symbol for a planned genocide by the Illuminati? Well, a mine car doesn't seem to have any particular significance to genocide; if the mine car was put there to confuse us and throw us off the trail, and the idea was for the clue to be obfuscated, why give the clue at all? Australia Antigen is indeed sometimes abbreviated as Au Ag, but its true common abbreviation is HBsAg, for Hepatitis B antigen. By itself it would not be much of a biological weapon. If you exposed everyone to Australia Antigen, you'd essentially just inoculate them against Hepatitis B. An antigen is not the disease germ itself, it is simply any substance that provokes an immune response. Australia Antigen is merely the protein found on the surface of the Hepatitis B virus. By itself, it's harmless. A vaccine has existed for some time against Hepatitis B, and many people have received it. Even if you haven't, Hepatitis B is treatable and is rarely fatal; and so, again, a pretty poor choice for a mechanism of global genocide.

The other words in the floor (the "alien language") are Navajo names for sacred mountains in Colorado, once again, a significant part of the state's history.

That's the thing about this supposed New World Order - for a group of people who want to stay covert, they sure do drop hints all over the place.

While I agree the Denver Airport mural is just plain bad art, and in my opinion; very ugly. I don't think there's anything woo about it.

"That's the thing about this supposed New World Order - for a group of people who want to stay covert, they sure do drop hints all over the place."

LOL so true.

There were some pretty strange murals at my old school and I am pretty sure it wasn't some secret NWO headquarters.

The thing is art is supposed to convey ideas, sometimes abstract ones. Artists often use "symbolism" in their art. The majority of murals I've seen do have that same look and obviously some people may find them creepy and as signs of an impending NWO, but lets face it people can find NWO symbolism in a Lady GaGa video too..
