Mind Control: MK-Ultra and Beyoncé

What do you get when you mix paranoia, abuse of governmental power, and desperation at the height of the Cold War? MK Ultra; a program originally created by the CIA in pursuit of mind controlling drugs (Editors, “MK-Ultra”, pg.1). The government influencing us in numerous ways is nothing new to the public, whether it be in the form of drugs or propaganda. In the age of technology, it is seen on a larger and more dangerous scale with social media and entertainment platforms. The government, whether we like it or not, is inevitably in control of what we see and hear, for example, in TV’s and movies, the music we listen to, and the influencers we follow on social media. Now, what if the government had control over someone who played a part in all desired arenas. Something that was more appealing to the public than drugs or mere propaganda ploys. Someone like Beyoncé Knowles (Chen, Joyce, “Beyoncé: Music’s Most WTF Conspiracy Theories, Explained, pg.1). Let’s take a look at MK-Ultra and its future influence on how we are influenced.
                            Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is an infamous musician who was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She got her start with a group called Destiny’s Child and quickly became a global sensation when she branched out to start a solo career. A few years later she married Jay-Z and gave birth to their daughter Blue Ivy. Now this information might seem normal and nothing out of the blue, right? Well, what if I told you that the man she married got her in connection with the illuminati, a secret society that is theorized to be in cahoots with the U.S. government. This society that they have allegedly pledged to has one goal eerily like that of MK-Ultra. Similar to how the government wanted to control the minds of civilians with the use of drugs, the illuminati desires to control the minds of civilians through the use of cultural icons with such a platform as Beyoncé.  
            The claim that Beyoncé is in connection with the illuminati might sound outlandish, but that takes us to the first point; Beyoncé is not as young as she says she is. Beyoncé is reported to be 38 years old and most people did not question this until her father came out and implied that she was the same age as Usher and P!nk who are both 2-3 years senior to Beyoncé. Beyoncé’s father reportedly stated that P!nk “… was the exact same age as Beyoncé” and that “We had Usher, he was the same age. They were all 14 or 15 years old.” (Daisy Murray, 8 Of The Best And Worst Beyoncé Conspiracies And Rumors Of All Time, pg. 1), which was enough to perk up many spectacle fans. Beyoncé herself has yet to comment on these claims, which has left the public in question. Why exactly would she lie about her age? What would she gain from it? Lying about her age allows Beyoncé to influence a larger, younger audience, which is perfect to carry out the illuminati’s message given that younger minds are more impressionable. With this illusion the illuminati are able to use her through her music, social media, and videos to subtlety fill societies minds with subconscious thought.
            Another reason as to why there is speculation surrounding Beyoncé’s connection to the illuminati is due to her pregnancy with her first child, Blue Ivy. She was set to appear on a talk show when she was noticeably pregnant, about 7 or 8 months, and when she went to go sit down viewers witnessed her belly concave (Good Mythical Morning, Did Beyoncé Fake Her Pregnancy?). They saw her rounded stomach suddenly turn inward and then protrude back out like it was nothing. Like a balloon deflating and inflating in the span of five seconds. As you can guess, this caused an uproar in the media and left many bewildered. This is where the speculation came from that she faked her pregnancy. The claim that she faked her pregnancy was not hard for the public to believe given that she never posted pictures of herself while she was pregnant and had only made one public appearance, which was the talk show. The conspiracy of her fake pregnancy became even more believable when she became pregnant with her twins and posted maternity photos of herself, performed at the Grammy’s with her stomach exposed, and became drastically more public with the latter pregnancy than the previous. The reason behind Beyoncé faking her first pregnancy was so the when she “gave birth” she would be perfectly healthy enough to move forward without a hitch to continue her work. Now the claim is not that Blue Ivy is not Beyoncé’s daughter, it is that Beyoncé was never pregnant with Blue Ivy herself. She could have very well had a surrogate to carry out the pregnancy so that Beyoncé could continue to create material for the illuminati’s use. The claim that she used a surrogate for her first child in order to continue her work is something that many women do around the world and frankly is not extreme in the slightest until you think about the reasons behind her work. How a higher power is using her to relay a message to the public and quite possibly made her fake her pregnancy so that they could milk her for all she was worth.
            For the first conspiracy revolving around Beyoncé and her affiliation with the Illuminati is her faking her age to the public. Usually when you find out the age of someone it is typically not questioned, which was the case with Beyoncé for most of her career until her father stated in a radio interview that P!nk, who is known to be a few years older than Beyoncé, “… was the exact same age as Beyoncé” (Daisy Murray, 8 Of The Best And Worst Beyoncé Conspiracies And Rumors Of All Time, pg. 1) and led to much of the public to question how old she really is. Along with this is the fact that her mother posted on Instagram to celebrate her daughters 38th birthday, but then referred to her real age as 39 (Hugh-Scott, Beyoncé’s Mom Reveals Her Real Age In Birthday Post?, pg. 1). The fact that her own mother and father both gave different accounts of how old she is makes this conspiracy even more intriguing. Now why exactly would Beyoncé feel the need to lie about her age? Well the younger you appear to be to the public means that you are able to reach and appeal an even larger audience. It is a popular saying that young minds are impressionable minds, which is exactly why Beyoncé would think to fake her age so she would be able to stay more relevant as her career advanced. Beyoncé’s connection to the Illuminati fits in perfectly to this. Because she has gained such a large following, that could be credited to this conspiracy, she is even more valuable to the Illuminati in the sense that they can use her platform to relay subtle messages to the public over time in an attempt to control which way society goes. This is exactly what the MK-Ultra experiment tried to achieve in mid 20th century but instead of a cultural icon they experimented with drugs on civilians to hopefully be able to control what they think (Editors. “MK-Ultra.”, pg.1). On the other hand, Beyoncé’s parents could just be human and become forgetful as to how old their children are, which is quite frankly typical of the average parent. But where’s the fun in refuting the conspiracy by comparing her parents to the average joe? Beyoncé hasn’t even given proof to acknowledge her true age, which leaves the conspiracy wide open until otherwise.
The second conspiracy that further connects Beyoncé with the Illuminati is that she faked her first pregnancy with her daughter Blue Ivy. During her first pregnancy Beyoncé remained out of the public eye for months for unknown reasons. That was until she did a television interview when she was visibly “pregnant” and wore a skin tight dress to show off her baby “bump”. This all seems normal until she goes to sit down and she does not sit down like a proper pregnant woman would, which causes her bump to fold inward as if it is hollow (Good Mythical Morning, Did Beyoncé Fake Her Pregnancy?, Video). If you did not know pregnant bellies are not exactly supposed to concave like a balloon. Of course, this led to much controversy surrounding the singer and accusations of a faked pregnancy. To back up the conspiracy, there were little to no photos of Beyoncé released while she was pregnant with Blue Ivy and she never had a maternity shoot for the first pregnancy like she did with her twins many years later (Murray, Daisy. “People Think Beyoncé Has Just Used Her Earrings To Give Away The Sex Of Her Twins.”, pg.1). This leaves room for speculation that Beyoncé did not in fact become pregnant with her first born and perhaps used a surrogate instead. The reason for a faked pregnancy revolves around, once again, Beyoncé’s affiliation with the Illuminati and her duties to carry out their messages. If she was pregnant at the time she would be restricted from performing and working given that her job is physically demanding. This would not be good for the Illuminati given that she is their messenger and would need to be accessible to them in order to be beneficial, which is exactly why they would make her get a surrogate instead so they would be able to have her at their dispense. To refute this, she very well could have had health issues or any other sort of issue that interfered with her desire to have a child herself at the time and that is why she used a surrogate. This does not explain why she lied to the public about the situation though and she even has yet to respond to any of the media surrounding the conspiracy, which leaves it wide open for interpretation.
            When investigating the connections between MK-Ultra experimenting with mind control drugs and then the Illuminati using Beyoncé to control society they are almost identical in theory. This is true except when you think about the unanswered questions that remain regarding Beyoncé’s affiliation with the Illuminati:
1.      Is Beyoncé as young as she claims to be?
2.      Did she truly ever fake her first pregnancy and if so for what reason?
3.      Is the Illuminati forcing her to comply with their actions?
To this day it is very likely that these questions will go unanswered given Beyoncé’s secretive tendencies. One thing we do know is that MK-Ultra was a real program ran by our own government so who’s to say that another higher organization isn’t doing the exact same thing now just with a different guinea pig that goes by the name of Beyoncé Knowles Carter.
