The Non-conspiracy Conspiracy

A Lil’ Wayne video released just two days before the Aurora massacre features a woman dressed in a black feathered bat costume and skeletons seated in a movie theater.

There are 13 skeletons (count them) in the scene described, not 12, as is being widely circulated. The camera pulls back to reveal many more skeletons than the 13 in the close up shot. Twelve were killed during the shooting, but this point isn’t worth belaboring. The general theme is eerie.

Alex Jones’ website Infowars states:

“As has always been done, the powers-that-be (probably even higher than the owners and managers of the Universal Republic Records label) stipulate certain scenes that absolutely have to appear in videos for them to be funded. This is all part of a ritualistic satanic “spell” they try to cast that offers the public a hidden reveal before an actual event takes place, a form of predictive programming… This, in effect, “sealed the deal” and supernaturally charged the ritualistic sacrifices that took place making them all the more powerful.”

The director of the video is reported to have tweeted, "It's just sad that people try an associate a tragedy to a music video that was created by having fun nothing more," director Parris tweeted. "I'm not that deep or sick to put cryptic messages in my videos purely art and entertainment."

To which I would respond, “Oh yes you are Mr. Parris… We are all that deep and cryptic... We just don’t know it.”

It occurred to me in my earliest forays into philosophy and fellatio that what is far more disturbing than a grand conspiracy is the lack of one.

What if all these coincidences that we ascribe such vast meaning to, are simply that? What if there is no grand agenda for good or ill? What if there is only chaos and our frail attempts to organize it? What if this happens first in our heads as desperate, scrambling free association in the mind, and second, socially, in our frantic fraternizing and affiliating? I’m neither denying nor affirming a grand conspiracy. I’m simply questioning the synchronicities and their value.

I will take this a step further, because I have personally seen beyond the veil and understand some things about patterns and prophecy. What if the video’s director was inspired by the same muse that spoke to Holmes? What if the coincidence is the result of a spiritual frequency that both Parris and Holmes tapped into and created artistically and literally through their respective mediums? Perhaps Parris accidentally prophesied the tragic events that would transpire just two days later.

Then again maybe Lil' Wayne's bizarre video was merely the subliminal wake up alarm to set Holmes, an FBI mind-warped sleeper, into action (like River in the film Serenity). Or, more likely, maybe Holmes just got the idea from the video because the day of its release he sent a notebook to his university containing scribblings of stick figures being shot and a written description of an upcoming attack.


Who knows... Maybe someone out there does, but isn't it a little more unnerving to speculate that no one may?

If we are all connected; if we are all linked into the same noosphere, populated by memes and memories made increasingly easy to access and cross reference in our information age; then the video may simply be a testimony to our unity and not, as some would posit, proof of Satanic puppetry.

The video is for a rap titled “My Homies Still” and the lyrics that correlate with the skeleton movie theater scene recite: “I’m east side, them haters nodding going west. My niggas pumping so much bass, motherfuckas going deaf. Weezy F, I’m eastside, my niggas Sean from the west. My niggas pumping so much bass. Yea… Uhhh… Young Mula… Truk your girl…”

These all seem to be quaint colloquialisms regarding respect for Sean Combs and brand recognition. Try as I may, I cannot extract any other meaning from them than this…
