Pop Cult: The Secret Agenda of Manipulation

Growing up, my mother was the dominant influence in my life. She provided sustenance, security, and scholarship. Until I entered school. At that point, I relegated my mother to Co-Leader of Influence with teachers entering my story. As I progressed through school, friends became my greatest influence with my mom and my teachers fading into the background.

Little did I notice, beyond the aforementioned sphere of influence, there was a subtle yet powerful force influencing me. The Pop Cult. The technocratic elites’ propaganda and public relations firm executing their insidious secret agenda.

Through the ages, the spoken word was the primary source of sharing information, along with drawings and the written word. Followed by radio, movies, television and the internet. Today, the world devours information from these channels. But behind the scenes, the Pop Cult covertly perverts this information by craftily infiltrating these mediums.

This article will focus on the Pop Cult’s principal method to transform information. What method? Manipulation. Through subterfuge, the Pop Cult manipulates and desensitizes your thinking process. Twisting and manipulating your mind until you become servile automatons to their whims and wishes through this programming. From their perspective, prepare to be assimilated, resistance is futile.

The Hegelian Dialectic

Father of the Zeitgeist

After the Enlightenment, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel rose to philosophical prominence in the 19^th century. He is referred to as the Father of the Zeitgeist, with zeitgeist meaning the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era. While his title may be a misnomer, the sentiment is accurate. The Hegelian dialectic anchors his legacy.

Hegel believed the highest state of humankind is only obtainable through continual ideological conflict and resolution. This dialectic presents a thesis and its opposite or anti-thesis. This process evolves the thesis and anti-thesis through conflict until it reaches resolution. This is the synthesis. 

Heinrich Moritz Chalybäus describes the Hegelian dialectic as composed of three dialectical stages of development:

1. a thesis, giving rise to its reaction 
2. an anti-thesis, which contradicts or negates the thesis
3. and the tension between the two resolved by a synthesis

Let’s view this process through the lens of political propaganda and espionage.

The Hegelian Dialectic and the Russian Revolution

Towards the end of World War I (WWI), Russia was in dire straits. Out of cash and its citizens on bread lines, the February Revolution (aka March Revolution) broke out. Tsar Nicholas II soon abdicated his throne. With the Russian provisional government in turmoil, Germany seized the moment to foster a Russian revolution. They sent a train full of exiled Russians with wads of money back to their motherland to incite a revolution lead by Vladimir Lenin. 

Germany’s plan to fund and deliver the revolutionaries to foment a Russian revolution was the thesis. The anti-thesis was the resultant civil war between the provisional government and the Bolsheviks. This coup d’état was the October Revolution. The synthesis was the end of Russian involvement against Germany in WWI after the signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

This was Germany’s scheme all along, applying the Hegelian dialectic to execute their plan, playing the agent provocateur in the Russian Revolution. As the Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Lenin succinctly stated:

The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.

The Germans gained control of the opposition and achieved their goals, Russia’s destabilization and withdrawal from WWI. But the Hegelian dialectic doesn’t stop. Its endless cyclical loop continued as the Russian citizenry dealt with the Communist regime and the Red Terror. And everyone had to cope with the genesis of the Soviet Union.

Realizing the Hegelian dialectic doesn’t stop, this cycle continued as Germany and Russia faced off again in World War II.

Problem-Reaction-Solution

Alternatively, we can regard the Hegelian dialectic as problem-reaction-solution. For illustration:

• Problem: the globalist elites create or exploit a problem (typically through a false flag)
• Reaction: the people turn to their government to seek protection, giving up rights in the process
• Solution: the government responds via Draconian decrees (developed before the starting event/problem and the reason for constructing the problem in the first place)

This solution is not the end, but the start of a perpetual loop where the solution offered generates a fresh problem producing a reaction, and the elites will offer another pre-conceived solution.

This feedback loop will evolve society towards the elites’ goal. A frog in the kettle approach. Gradually replacing old belief systems with new ones, but never arriving at the truth. What is their goal? Removing Jesus Christ from everything and replacing Him with their god. Who is their god? He goes by various monikers; the father of lies (John 8:44), the adversary (1 Peter 5:8), and the accuser (Revelation 12:10). Little do they know, the Lord prophesied and warned about this throughout His Word. The Holy Bible.

How does the Hegelian dialectic serve the Pop Cult? I’m glad you asked. The problem-reaction-solution process presents the Pop Cult opportunities to infiltrate various media forms to push their secret agenda. The Pop Cult is a weapon the enemy uses, joining the Death Cult and Truth Psyience. This multi-pronged attack on humanity is subtle and cunning, yet obvious and in your face, if, you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Strangely, Lenin’s successor-Joseph Stalin, other world leaders, soon-to-be world leaders, and world influencers all lived near one another in Vienna, Austria. Including our next pickup in the Pop Cult’s car of control, as they shift gears and cruise down Manipulation Avenue picking up the Father of Psychoanalysis. And later his double-nephew, the Father of Public Relations.

The Psychoanalysis of Propaganda and Public Relations

Sigmund Freud’s Sexual Revolution

The Pop Cult cherry-picks particular tenets within philosophy and psychology to further their ambitions. How does the Pop Cult deploy these disciplines? Enter the Father of Psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud and his science of the mind.

One of Freud’s postulations was that infants and children were sexual. Was this sexualizing of children Freud’s way of using his defense mechanisms; projection and/or displacement, because of his father molesting his siblings? In one of Freud’s letters, he wrote, as reported by the New York Times:

Unfortunately, my own father was one of these perverts and is responsible for the hysteria of my brother (all of whose symptoms are identifications) and those of several younger sisters. The frequency of this circumstance often makes me wonder.

Freud’s own molestation by his father is ambiguous. There may be evidence though of his nanny sexually abusing him, as Freud biographer Paul Ferris penned in Dr. Freud. A Life:

A series of dreams, forty years after the events he hoped to recall, was devoted to her. Freud concluded that the servant had been ‘my teacher in sexual matters’, though he failed to explain what he meant.

Jim Swan’s 1974 essay titled, Mater and Nannie: Freud’s Two Mothers and the Discovery of the Oedipus Complex, likewise discusses Freud’s molestation by his nanny:

But there is still the remarkable circumstance that Freud had, in effect, two mothers: his actual mother—whose nakedness he can mention only in Latin—and his Nannie whom he remembers in association with numerous disturbing sexual experiences.

So was Freud’s neurotic obsession with sexualizing children because of his own molestation and/or his siblings? We may never know, but Freud’s hypotheses have affected billions upon billions of people by desensitizing the world to the sexualization of children. The controversial Dr. Alfred Kinsey and his Kinsey Institute espoused this abhorrent ideology as they peddled pedophilia as a societal norm. The Pop Cult clutched onto this concept and crept it into a variety of mediums to continue to shift the populous to their way of thinking. Another utilization of the frog in the kettle approach.

Freud’s Ego, the Occult, and Nazis

Freud claimed to invent a science of the mind with psychoanalysis. While many dispute his findings, Freud’s psychoanalysis and mind model are still taught in psychology courses throughout the world. The UK’s Guardian reported:

Penis envy. Repression. Libido. Ego. Few have left a legacy as enduring and pervasive as Sigmund Freud. Despite being dismissed long ago as pseudoscientific, Freudian concepts such as these not only permeate many aspects of popular culture, but also had an overarching influence on, and played an important role in the development of, modern psychology, leading Time magazine to name him as one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century.

While pseudoscience permeates psyience, the Pop Cult continues to thrust these theories upon us, even while scientists debate Freud’s findings. 

What is Freud’s mind model? He broke the mind into three distinct areas detailed in the video below:

Do you see the parallels to the Hegelian Dialectic? Here’s a side-by-side comparison:

Freud is much maligned for a variety of reasons outlined above. But there’s an aspect of truth in his mind model, albeit a partial truth. From a Christian worldview, the Id is the source of temptation, aka the Sin Matrix. What Freud defined as taking place in the mind and Hegel termed the thesis or problem, are spiritual warfare examples. 

The Superego is your conscience (Romans 1:32, Romans 2:14-15) and/or the Holy Spirit (John 14:25-26, John 16:13) letting you know right from wrong. This is what Freud explained as the moral principle and Hegel phrased the anti-thesis or reaction. 

The Ego is the decision-making you, where your decisions result in consequences. Will you succumb to temptation, or find your strength within the Lord’s might, bringing every thought to the obedience of Christ? This is what Freud called the reality principle, your conscious self, and Hegel named the synthesis or solution.

Like a key opening a lock, the Pop Cult uses the Hegelian dialectic and Freud’s mind theory as keys to unlock your mind. But their methods are Satanic keys, turning the tumblers within your mind to pick it open. The Pop Cult picks the mind’s lock to gain access to exploit and manipulate you through esoteric tactics. 

While Freud researched occultism, his psychoanalysis protégé Carl Jung aka the Aryan Christ, raptly researched occultic phenomena. 

This research led Jung to the Germanic god Wotan, aka the Norse god Odin.

And, as usual, when discussing the occult circa 1930s, the Nazis make an appearance. Jung and Freud were no exception. Jung’s ideology collided with Nazism during the 1930s, where Heinrich Himmler had his own beliefs about Wotan and other occultic ideas.

Jung even suggested the possibility of Wotan possessing Hitler in his Essay on Wotan:

Perhaps we may sum up this general phenomenon as Ergriffenheit — a state of being seized or possessed. The term postulates not only an Ergriffener (one who is seized) but, also, an Ergreifer (one who seizes). Wotan is an Ergreifer of men, and, unless one wishes to deify Hitler — which has indeed actually happened — he is really the only explanation.

Freud was a wanted man. Living in Vienna, Austria, he was under attack by Nazi sympathizers for being a Jew (culturally, as he was an atheist religiously) and a psychoanalyst. The Gestapo arrested his daughter, Anna Freud. He eventually eschewed escaping to the United States (for a variety of reasons), and settled in London, United Kingdom. It is reported he died from physician-assisted suicide by his personal doctor and friend, Max Schur.

Today, Freud is passé within some psychological circles, rebuking his research. But his cult of personality grew greater as the Pop Cult used his ideas to push forth their agendas and those of his nephew, Edward Bernays.

Edward Bernays, the Father of Public Relations

Edward Bernays was the “double-nephew” of Sigmund Freud. Freud’s sister was Bernays’ mother. Freud’s wife was Bernays’ father’s sister. I promise, a quiz on this relationship is not forthcoming.

In his book Propaganda, Bernays wrote:

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society create an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.

He advanced a Death Cult eugenic-inspired idea:    

We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. 

Wartime propaganda, a military-inspired psychological operation (PSYOP) inspired Bernays. Ultimately, these sentences in his book Propaganda, say it all:

Whatever attitude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons—a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million—who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.

Bernays is describing the technocratic globalist elites binding and guiding the world the way their master guided Adam and Eve. 

As reported by the Huffington Post, his uncle heavily influenced Bernays:

“Freud sent me a copy of Introductory Lectures in Psychoanalysis, and I took it and talked to a publisher I knew. Freud wrote me how public opinion is formed,” he said. Freud’s insights contributed to Bernays’s 1923 classic, Crystallizing Public Opinion, which changed corporate and political communication forever.

They continue:

Bernays had his critics, many of whom blamed him for introducing “mind control” to industry and the government. He was accused of using Freudian psychological insights for commercial purposes, especially in the form of subliminal advertising. Others criticized his work for the government encouraging young people to enlist during the 1st World War.

Nazis, Cigarettes and Bacon

Bernays meshed propaganda’s persuasion with Freud’s interpretation of the mind, creating a cataclysmic boon for the Pop Cult. And severe consequences for everyone else, as mind manipulation transformed from a cottage industry into a fundamental tenet throughout industries. And when blended with the Hegelian dialectic, revolutions no longer required violence.

Incredibly, as we observed earlier with Freud and Jung, the Nazis make yet another appearance. Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany, applied Bernays’ techniques:

In the 1920s, Joseph Goebbels became an avid admirer of Bernays and his writings–despite the fact that Bernays was a Jew. When Goebbels became the minister of propaganda for the Third Reich, he sought to exploit Bernays’ ideas to the fullest extent possible. For example, he created a “Fuhrer cult” around Adolph Hitler.

The Nazis attempted to hire Bernays, but he balked at the idea. Instead, companies hired Bernays to garner sales using his propaganda techniques. Consumers didn’t know what hit them. Bernays bombarded buyers in a new wave of persuasive propaganda. From cigarettes to bacon, Bernays’ campaigns cracked the code of consumers’ wants versus needs. 

His combining Uncle Sig’s theories and Hegel’s dialectic presented the globalist elites an opportunity to further their treacherous tactics. Injecting this combination into entertainment and news is the Pop Cult. But this system is only one fang of this vicious viper.

How Do We Overcome The Pop Cult?

Treasures

The occultic globalists drafted the Pop Cult, the Death Cult, and Truth Psyience into this spiritual war as mercenaries to inflict order out of chaos upon humanity. Their esoteric methods divide and conquer the people of the world to glorify their god, the god of this world (John 12:31, John 14:30, John 16:11, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Ephesians 2:2). Satan. And as Satan deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, so he seduces the world with his forked tongue. 

While they place their faith, hope and trust into the world, they cannot comprehend the world is passing away and all within in it (Matthew 24:35, 1 Corinthians 7:29-31, 1 John 2:17, Revelation 21:1).

Jesus reveals in Matthew 6:19-21:

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Your treasure is in heaven when you set your heart upon the Lord. After accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and asking for the indwelling of His Holy Spirit, pray for discernment in these matters. Knowing the weapons of our warfare are spiritual (2 Corinthians 10:4), not physical (Ephesians 6:12) as entities hellbent on our destruction wage spiritual warfare upon us. They employ the Pop Cult, the Death Cult, Psyience, and tempt us via the Sin Matrix. 

Unveiling and understanding their fiendish plans brings us one step closer to overcoming the enemy when we resist them and stand steadfast in the faith (2 Corinthians 2:11, 1 Peter 5:8-9).

The Pop Cult schemes to bide your time with television shows, movies, and various internet musings. This is to distract you from the Lord. They even infiltrate the Church, provoking strife and confusion through the Hegelian dialectic. But Jesus warns us of this.

Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

Their chicanery creates division. Even within the body of Christ. They produce a problem, we react, but what is the solution? 

Jesus commands us to be aware of wolves in sheep’s clothing in Matthew 7:15-20:

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Jesus follows this warning by revealing their future while speaking the scariest words found in the Bible in Matthew 7:21-23:

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Paul warns the Church in Romans 16:17-18:

Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

Paul asserts the same warning in 2 Corinthians 11:12-15:

But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Part of the technocratic elites’ modus operandi is to divide and conquer. They transform themselves into ministers of righteousness and infiltrate the Church.

Awareness of the enemy’s tactics is vital to the believer. Other verses to meditate upon include 2 Corinthians 2:11, 2 Timothy 4:3-4, 2 Peter 2:1-3, and 1 John 4:1-3. 

Paul connects the undermining of the Church with the powers and principalities mentioned in Ephesians 6:12, in Colossians 2:8-10:

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Colossians 2:15 provides further insight:

Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Fulfill Your Ministry

Paul shares in 2 Timothy 4:5:

But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

The enemy will attack. It’s not a question of when, but how. The Pop Cult is one of his ways. We need to be on-guard, watching all things, enduring afflictions, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and fulfilling our ministry.

In Christ Jesus we will triumph, as Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 2:14-15:

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

The enemy keeps the world in darkness, slaves of sin, using the Pop Cult to do his bidding. But calling on the Son of God, Jesus Christ, removes sin’s shackles and grants us freedom. Not to continue in sin, but to reveal the sin in our life, and allowing us, through Jesus Christ, to be forgiven of our trespasses. Shining the light of salvation, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Jesus disarmed the enemy and in Him, we are victors, not victims. No longer slaves of sin, but free in Jesus. No longer walking in darkness, but walking in the light. This is our ministry.

How will you fulfill your ministry?
