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.
