He’s a screaming politician

When it comes to characters with preternaturally loud screams, it’s kind of odd why nobody bothered creating a character who parlays this ability into politics, since they could make a good orator this way. Who needs microphones when your sonic scream easily does the job for you in public anyways, well it turns out I have created one in an ageing politician named Walter Edevane. A rival to the much younger Colin Sallow, he has a habit of belittling him when given the opportunity to do so. Inevitably Colin does respond in kind (in a way), though he seems friendlier in public than he is. Walter Edevane is pretty much a married man, never cheats on his wife (and she never cheats on him too), never goes about clubbing and stuff. Despite being wealthier than Colin is, he’s not the sort of bloke who’d spend his money on something this exorbant, maybe same for some things in life.

He’s not the sort of man who’d spend this much money on setting up an elaborate aviary to raise birds of almost any kind (chickens, turkeys, geese, canaries, pigeons, parrots, ducks and quails) the way Colin does, preferring cheaper and more commonplace pets like mixed breed dogs for instance. He leads a simple life where he goes about caring for his mutts, whilst not being above demanding that pigeons ought to be dealt with harshly. He’s okay with driving simple cars, taking the bus or train when necessary and the like, even when he’s not exactly old money himself. He’s okay with living in a simple house with a simple garden, despite his wealth although this could be applied to Mr Sallow in a way. He often rags on Colin Sallow for many reasons, namely his hairstyle (telling him to get a haircut, he looks like a girl), tendency to be really kind of pigeons, for dressing in a certain way (wearing a striped dress shirt with a suit, forgoing the tie) and never eating turkeys and chickens.

I feel a story where you have superpowered characters around yet it’s neither fantasy (not even the urban fantasy variety) nor does it contain combats even when supernatural abilities are involved, even when such a story calls itself a superhero story yet has much more in common with actual crime fiction that the way the stories will unfold will turn out very differently. In the typical superhero setup, whenever a character gains preternatural abilities at all they often funnel these into combat, alongside putting on a showy persona and equally showy outfit. They are often repeatedly tested by a set of recurring enemies (their rogues gallery), but they are expected to win and have victory over their foes. They have to lead a double life, though they actually spend much more time fighting their enemies, than doing what they’re supposed to do at work. It’s actually the thing with Supergirl in the 1970s stories when she became a grown up woman.

She’s really Superwoman by then all but in name, who technically works as a telly host or actress but spends more time fighting enemies. Aside from the other Supergirls that came before her (including Lois Lane for a while), Supergirl in the late 1950s was introduced as a teenager and kind of aged realistically by cartoon character standards where she eventually graduates from high school and goes to university or something, then does a variety of jobs since then. It’s actually not unique to her as it’s very rampant throughout the DC and Marvel canons where you have characters who technically work as florists (Black Canary for the longest period of time), journalists (Superman, Spider-Man), business owners (Iron Man, Batman), teachers (Guy Gardner, Helena Bertinelli), musicians (Dazzler, Luna Snow), scientists (Poison Ivy, Barry Allen, Hank Pym, Harley Quinn) and so on, but spend far more time beating up their foes in whatever manner the writers see fit.

Imagine if the use of a double life was either done away or done very differently from what’s usually portrayed in DC and Marvel stories, albeit one with a stronger crime fiction or even stronger literary fiction influence, that this changes the way characters use their abilities with. Like I said before, Walter Edevane has a sonic scream and is also a good orator of a politician. Therefore he has no need for microphones, he just has to modulate his voice when the situation calls for it (to the best of his abilities). Colin Sallow has the ability to stop time but only in a limited area and it has something to do with gravity as both time and gravity are scientifically closely related, so if he stops time in a certain area somebody else feels heavier this way. He does this whenever he has to do something, both good and ill, like making an escape, making food, sharpening pencils and stuff. Especially when he has to literally take the time to do something.

It seems a lot of superhero comics, especially from DC and Marvel, seem more obsessed with their own storytelling canons instead of venturing out into something new and different, that if they do the latter they’ll get backlash for it. Even racebending earlier characters often prove to be really controversial, to the point where it seems the wiser solution is to create a new DC or Marvel instead. This is pretty much what the blokes during the early days of Image Comics ended up doing, but only one imprint got absored into DC’s canon proper. That is Wildstorm and this was Jim Lee’s baby, before going on to actually helm DC Comics himself. At this point in time the only consistently successful superhero stories Image publishes are Spawn and Invincible, both of them got animated adaptations by the way. It’s possible for a new Wildstorm or Image to emerge, but given America’s declining stature this Wildstorm would have to be outside of the United States in any way.

This is also likely why sometime in the 1980s DC began hooking in British writers, with a feeling their takes on superheroes were really refreshing, especially the better ones who cut their teeth at the magazine 2000AD. Early on a number of British superheroes were evidently derivative of their US counterparts, the Leopard From Lime Street is a feline Spider-Man, Marvelman is a blond British Billy Batson. It’s even telling that Marvel had to instigate its own British imprint, with a young Neil Tennant (of Pet Shop Boys fame) working for it for a while, to appeal to British readers. Years before it would buy Marvelman itself, which arguably speaks volumes about superheroes being rather foreign to British culture. It’s not that all British people dislike superheroes but there’s something un-British about superheroes that makes it harder to support a homegrown British superhero for long, much less one that’s not too derivative of their American counterparts.

Even the general set-up of the superhero school is really strange and confounding where you have characters who technically work a quotidian job but spend far more time beating up bad guys instead in a garish outfit and with an equally garish alias, especially once they acqure such preternatural abilities at all. Judge Dredd and his cronies like Judge Andersons are consistently police officers through and through, but crime fiction seems far better established in British culture than superheroes are if it weren’t for the formative likes of Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple. That’s not to say an American can’t come up with a Harry Potter before JK Rowling got to it, maybe something close to it but there’s something British about Harry Potter that the closest earliest US analogues can’t come close to. Not that boarding schools aren’t a part of America and other countries at all, but when boarding schools are identified by differing houses and boarding schools are much better established in Britain, then Harry Potter as we know it can’t be American.

If you were to consider the usual US high school fiction, it would have things like a cafeteria, cheerleaders and popular kids. When it comes to something like WITCH, though a Disney property, it was very much developed in Italy first and pretty much likely reflects Italian educational norms and understandings. Cornelia could be the popular girl and equivalent to As Told By Ginger’s Courtney, but she’s very much a part of Will’s social group from the get-go. In that sense there’s something deeply American about superheroes that feels foreign or strange in another country or culture, that if Miraculous is any indication, if another country were to have a successful go with it it would turn out very differently. The US superhero angle is pretty much going to be an adult doing vigilante acts with supernatural abilities, a flashy alias and a garish outfit, albeit done with a really straight face. France’s Felina could be a French Catwoman, a Catwoman where no Batman exists. But she doesn’t appear to have recurring foes, as much as Batman does.

Miraculous is obviously based on American superheroes but it’s also got a strong magical girl influence, where they access to their superhero personas through fetishes the way Sailor Moon and her cronies do. (Not necessarily in the sense of kink, but as in charms and talismans.) US superheroes also seem foreign in Canadian culture, even when Canadians frequently work for US publishers. In the sense that Canada’s unable to sustain its own superhero magazines for as long and as often as America does, where its own takes are either really novel (Angloman using satire more often, or The Pitiful Human Lizard being about a loser) or super-derivative (Captain Canuck for instance). Canada doesn’t even have a particularly substantial superhero canon of its own, that it seems the superhero school is also not its forte either. As if superheroes don’t travel that particularly well in other countries when localised at all, if Miraculous is any indication, it would be tempered by other influences.

Since this story also takes place in Canada and it’s also heavily influenced by straight crime fiction, it’s also proving the point right in a way. I feel in the usual US superhero setup, Colin Sallow being Walter Edevane’s political enemy would become a part of his rogues gallery, also they have to have showy outfits and aliases to go with it. Maybe Colin Sallow will go by the name of Interval as he stops time in a specific area, so logically Walter Edevane would be Protest then. Both characters would have to lead double lives then, in a way their usual presentations wouldn’t do as the original’s more rooted in crime fiction. Additionally many US superheroes aren’t part of government-sponsored teams the way Canadian superheroes are (as Captain Canuck’s associated with PACT or something), but this reflect the US superhero school’s roots in vigilantism where people take law into their own hands when dealing with criminal activity themselves.

Not that vigilantism’s entirely absent in Britain and Canada, but it’s not a prominent feature the way it is in America. Not just in the former wild west, but also in urban America from time to time. There are some people who say that the current superhero school has parallels to the cowboy fiction school, in the sense that both deal with vigilantism and taking advantage of newly acquired land. It could be said that the British wave in US superhero comics is the superhero school’s equivalent to Italy’s spaghetti westerns, taking something quintessentially American and doing something different with it. If the western’s popularity largely died with the Cold War, then it’s conceivable that the superhero’s popularity with America’s own decline in another way. If you believe Christian prophets, America might be subjected to both a forthcoming civil war and new world war. This could spell the end of superheroes as we know them, since you also have these prophets saying America is Mystery Babylon (the future nation–state said to corrupt the world).

Since we shouldn’t despise prophecy (despite failing this at times), there is a chance that America will truly decline a lot in stature and influence, perhaps even witnessing its influence get undone and it already is to some extent, wherein if America were to persist in some way it would really end up as the pawn of another country before disappearing altogether. Perhaps the DC and Marvel superheroes will disappear with it altogether as well, resulting in a fundamentally changed media landscape by then where the Canadian ACG canon would closely resemble its European counterpart more this time. A world where much American influence had already been reduced by then, but where Canada would be in a really awkward position of being Russia’s sole North American territory/whatever after America’s disappearance. If the superhero originated in America, then it would die with America too. Or if it does survive in any way, it would really have to change with the times. It might survive longer in other countries but it would also develop or grow in ways it wouldn’t get to do in America, especially once the genre’s sufficiently cut off from the biggest movers of its canon.

Namely DC and Marvel that it might go from referencing these two a lot to getting influenced by many other things to varying degrees, developing in a manner that’s no longer beholden to either one or both of them. Since I said before that Colin Sallow is actually based on Liam Howlett, the keyboardist for the band The Prodigy, to the extent of even sharing other attributes with him (playing the piano and biking), along with the story being more rooted in mystery fiction that there is a way to develop the superhero story largely independent of DC and Marvel. But this involves opening up to very different influences that are rarely, if ever, utilised in the superhero canon a lot where it seems usual for subsequent superhero publications to have covers homaging other superhero publications. It is very rare for the same to homage something else like popular music, that it would be even more astonishing for it to earnestly reference bands like The Prodigy a lot as there’s another character called Fabrice Tientcheu who’s based on Maxim Reality, let alone even their other contemporaries like Ace of Base or Aqua.

(Well there’s a bit of Malin Berggren in another character called Jemima Szara, since they’re both blonde white women who are neither particularly tall nor particularly short.)

These kinds of influences (well in a way) aren’t necessarily unprecedented in superhero comics as somebody like JH Williams III has been known to allude to Sisters of Mercy (yet another favourite of mine) in his cartooning from time to time, but it’s much more common to find superhero comics alluding a lot to other superhero comics and by extension, comics in general, because it’s clear these kinds of stories have come to appeal a lot to a certain audience that may not necessarily overlap much with people who’re deep into music and vice versa for a good number of people. This isn’t always the case but it’s kind of telling that there are a good deal more comic books about Batman, Superman and Spider-Man than there are those about say Massive Attack, comics about The Prodigy do exist but they’re primarily found in music magazines. One of the Ace of Base members has read comics herself, even though they pertain more to Tintin and Donald Duck than with Superman. Aqua did a song about them called ‘Cartoon Heroes’ and Sisters of Mercy have appeared in comics before, but it’s generally pretty rare finding western comics specifically about actual musicians.

In fact it’s very rare for superhero comics to even bother alluding to actual musicians much, much less using them as inspiration for actual characters (and stories) and one of them is Dazzler, who was going to be black herself as she was based on Grace Jones. Mind you Gary Groth even found these kinds of stories inbred and that’s painfully true when it’s more common for DC and Marvel writers and their ilk elsewhere to repeatedly riff on past stories and covers a lot, where it’s telling these are meant for those familiar with superheroes a lot to begin with. It would be mind-bogglingly rare to find superhero comics from any publisher to reference or allude to the likes of X-Ray Spex, XMal Deutschland, The Klinik, The Damned, The KLF, Cappella and Front 242, if these stories do exist at all in any capacity or shape, that goes to show you the average superhero cartoonist/writer’s not really that big into music themself.

Much less a wider variety of music whereas they’d feel the reverse towards a wider variety of comics in a way (to some extent), it’s even the case with most comics readers themselves where they’re usually more familiar with different kinds of comics than they are with their musical counterparts. But then again for the longest period of time, I actually listened to more music than I do with comics. Maybe not anymore as I actually spend more time listening to sermons these days, it’s still kind of telling that superhero media is weirdly self-referential at this point. A more future-forward superhero story would have to be one open to a much wider variety of influences, however disparate and unlikely they may be, not necessarily entirely unprecedented but different enough to stand on its own now that America’s in decline, so we might see less of DC and Marvel over time from then on.

Ride A White Horse

There are going to be massive changes in the future, not just when it comes to Jesus Christ returning on a white horse, but also economic collapses and a famine, as well as more severe pandemics and America getting judged real badly, that this has the potential to be more drastic than at the start of this decade. In fact the 2020s would be the decade about America’s true end, which would make the 2010s a prelude to it in a way. Then this makes the 1990s and the 2000s the height of America’s prowess, especially when it was the undisputed hyperpower as the sole superpower then. For those who were minors in the 1990s and 2000s, this would’ve coincided with a profound Americanisation of many cultures. Particularly in the realms of not only live action media and prose media, but also ACG media as well like many Disney productions. In hindsight during those years that despite bands like Aqua, The Prodigy, Ace of Base, Spice Girls, Blur, Oasis, Gorillaz, Daft Punk, Eiffel 65, Keane and Stereophonics finding a good degree of international success, their American counterparts were more universally successful the world over.

It’s kind of really obvious that American bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Nsync, Backstreet Boys, Pearl Jam, Paramore and the like repeatedly stole the show all over again, that if America were to truly decline we could end up experiencing a kind of dark ages not helped by it being exacerbated by a forthcoming civil war in the United States, a loomin World War three and an incoming pandemic that’s worse than the previous one. There was something like the black plague that hit the Middle Ages before, but this one will be much worse as it’s going to seriously wipe out many people in the west. A lot more given the United States has currently around 300 million plus people, then comes the Latin American countries which are also experiencing serious apostasy by now, that this pandemic will really wipe out a lot of unbelievers there. This could even spread to the Philippines given it’s also on the verge of this at any point, that it will really result in much more casualties that both coronavirus and the black plague ever did.

There’s a Norwegian woman who prophesised to Emmanuel Minos that World War Three will usher in far more casualties than the previous one did, making WWII look like child’s play as this one involves actual nuclear warfare. He transcribed the whole thing but wouldn’t get widely published and be made viral until years later, to the point where he finally saw it happen. Even then I think this would still result in another dark ages, but one marked by America’s downfall first and foremost. America might fancy itself as Rome but this only makes the comparison to the historical dark ages all the more apt, because the dark ages kind of began when the western Roman empire declined. Logically as Russia also sees itself as the third Rome, it is effectively the new eastern Roman empire in a sense. It might even succeed in taking over a good chunk of the western world (Canada and Europe) with it, effectively becoming the new seat of western civilisation. One would only wonder if this results in a new renaissance, given the Renaissance came after the Middle Ages.

The same woman also prophesised that those from the Global North might flee to the Global South in search of respite, despite also getting flack themselves over time. It doesn’t help when a good chunk of the western world gets nuked so much that it’s going to be hard growing crops with at least in the interim, that it’s possible those from irradiated parts of Europe and North America might flee to less irradiated parts of the world but also be met with the same flack they give to others. It’s kind of frightening to realise the extent of immense radiation reaching to other places like the soon to be dissolved United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, that even if there are some places to grow crops with it’s going to be hard avoiding such an impact at times that you feel tempted to flee to somewhere else. Mind you there was an immense nuclear mishap in Ukraine that came to affect other European countries, that if countries like Russia were to get nuked by America it could greatly affect Scandinavia and the British Isles by the way.

And if America gets nuked in kind, this might also affect Canada and Mexico. Then Chernobyl, Nagasaki and Hiroshima like situations will be the norm in the west, it can be said that the entire western world would be a nuclear wasteland then. There will be a lot more ghost towns in the west because of how irradiated the west will be, that westerners will be this desperate for survival elsewhere. One could wonder if someone like myself might end up housing some of my favourite musicians seeking respite from nuclear radiation, meeting some of them in church one day. But the fact that much of Europe and the Americas will be nuked due to their own sins and apostasies says much about their spiritual situations, made worse by the fact that the west was like the heartland and vanguard of Christianity for centuries. Come the 21st century and perhaps earlier than that, the west has become deeply secularised. A case of intergenerational backsliding for centuries.

The Philippines might be next alongside South Korea that they too will be judged for their backsliding, as to warrant getting given over to China forever fo this. It would be a very different world from now where the world has been so affected by a nuclear war that others will be desperate to flee elsewhere for safety, even if it were possible to find a way to minimise so much radiation in the western world, people will still want and need to move elsewhere to avoid this pain soon enough or beforehand if they heed to the prophecies first. A new dark ages marked by not only an epidemic and a civil war in America, but also a nuclear world war where Hiroshima and Nagasaki like situations are the norm in the west and possibly the rest of the world to an extent. Then Jesus will return and the world will be destroyed again, only to make way for a new version of itself where animals no longer eat one another. A world where children can freely play with formerly venomous animals, where death is no more and so is darkness. Both literal darkness and a spiritual darkness.

A new world if there ever will be one in the future, a befitting end to a painful past marked by sin.

It all goes downhill

Dumitru Duduman was given a message by an angel (which are oftentimes divine messengers sent by God) that America is Mystery Babylon and it became this way because it kind of condoned or tolerated the introduction of idols into an otherwise Christian colony, once it became a superpower it became progressively more evil time. AA Allen said that American culture does have a habit of popularising or originating such filth, as to be the mother of nearly all the abominations that get unleashed to the planet. This becomes kind of obvious when it comes to the mainstreaming of smut, where although such materials did exist before and even well onto the 18th century, but what’s really astonishing is that this wouldn’t pick up much steam until the time of the sexual revolution where stories like Tropic of Cancer have effectively popularised the use of sexually explicit scenes in books.

Especially coupled with America’s ascendancy to superpower status that even when it didn’t originate pornography, it did get to popularise certain things like pornographic films and magazines, and even the very things that got Marquis de Sade jailed in 18th century France in the form of dark romance. These dark romance stories seem to involve stories of women getting sexually tortured by men, which seems to be right up Sade’s alley but one that’s widely enjoyed by many with their authors getting off scot-free. America’s transformation into the epicentre of moral and spiritual abomination is quite terrifying to behold, the fact that it’s practically Hell on Earth makes one wonder just how evil America is and would get at any point in time. It does make for a strange transformation to even witness a self-proclaimed Christian colony to indulge in these things, but it’s a very double-minded country on the verge of collapse.

I have indulged in sins myself, doing it despite feeling bad about it, though I do try to confess it to God and pray for others, to be honest. Maybe some Americans are like this themselves as well, or even the people I pray for just the same. But as AA Allen said that a country’s cultural character is judged by what it produces, so in the case with the United States it popularises both edifying materials and filth with the same gusto. A rather strange country if there ever was one that went from piety to decadence without developing a conscience in-between, since this is a take on a popular quote that’s been attributed to various people like Oscar Wilde over the years. The actual quote is that America went from barbarism to decadence without developing civilisation in-between, in the sense that America’s status as a superpower happened overnight compared to countries like Spain and France. Or better still Iran and China, which were around for more than 5000 years and are the very tools of indignation God will use to deal with America soon enough.

There’s actually a book published sometime in the 1960s called ‘Is The USA in Prophecy’ which talks about both America’s rise to power coupled with its decadence and Britain as a declining superpower, where if America is prophetic Babylon then it stands that Britain is its mother that will witness it die in some way as well as dying herself. Or at the very least the United Kingdom would finally dissolve into three separate countries again in centuries, with Northern Ireland finally reuniting with the rest of Ireland. It’s one of the earliest surviving documents, years before Duduman’s own revelation, that America is Mystery Babylon and it’s unfortunately rather rare. It’s also oddly not rare of a view either as others like David Wilkerson also hold it in ‘Set A Trumpet’, so it stands to reason that America is a new Babylon in the sense of setting a really bad example for other countries to follow. Whatever your sentiments or reasons are for hating America, it wouldn’t even surprise God as he knew it would turn into Babylon the Great over time.

There’s some talk in the Russophone corner of the Internet that America practically originated pop culture as we know it, not that European countries like Britain and Italy lack their own, but that America popularises things like Spider-Man and introduced innovations in media that originated in other countries like what animation is to France when it comes to things like the use of rotoscoping. It’s practically a version of motion-capture when it comes to capturing movements as realistically as possible, which would become the standard for not only American animation but also video games. People like the Fleischer brothers pioneered this technique that other animation studios like Russia’s Soyuzmultilm would come to use eventually, it should be noted that cartooning itself (which comics are very much a subset of this discipline) has roots elsewhere. But what America did is to introduce stories that remain popular to this day like Garfield and Peanuts, a mode of production where there’s a cartoonist who specialises in cartooning with a pencil and another who inks, and so on.

It’s kind of astonishing that a number of British comics in the 1970s and 1980s were in black and white, but to better compete with their American counterparts is to become just as colourful as they are. Come the 2020s and it’s the norm for 2000AD comics stories to be in colour, as the earlier ones were in black and white. Let’s not forget that American comics were among the first comics publications to be printed in much better quality paper, eventually moving onto glossy paper that became the gold standard for superhero publications around the world. Maybe not all as there was something like Bayan Knights in the late 2000s but the resulting publications were primarily in black and white, and on much cheaper paper than the glossy ones used for their US imported counterparts. American influence didn’t exactly get rid of British pop culture, but given America’s stronger presence as a current superpower that Britain would inevitably follow its lead anyways.

This also goes for other things like music where although guitars have existed for centuries, the electric guitar undoubtedly originated in the United States. It should be noted that electric guitars aren’t inherently evil in and of themselves, just as keyboards and music software aren’t evil in and of themselves, or for another matter popular music genres like pop, rock, jazz and hip hop. It is however unfortunate that a good number of musicians from the US canon were also at the forefront of popularising, if not originating, filth themselves be it Cher, Chuck Berry or Michael Jackson that it’s also a gold standard for musicians from other countries to emulate their leads. I feel if it weren’t for Cher flashing her bellybutton on telly and then wearing racier and more outrageous outfits later on, we wouldn’t have the likes of Australia’s Kylie Minogue and the like doing it themselves too. If it weren’t for Robert Johnson popularising devilry, then other musicians from far and wide wouldn’t do the same thing too.

If it weren’t for somebody creating New Kids on the Block as the white version of New Edition, we wouldn’t get K-Pop boy bands and it’s often suspected that they often take African American music for inspiration. It should be noted that Seo Taji and the Boys (one of the earliest K-Pop bands and so far among the very few non-prefab ones around) got their start in hip hop, which is an American import, and one of its members would go on to found YG Entertainment. K-Pop itself is no stranger to such devilry like its western counterpart, that it seems America is truly at the forefront of popularising filth and abomination. There’s practically no mistaking that rock, rap and modern pop are byproducts of US influence, that historically both Sweden (the country behind Roxette, The Cardigans and Ace of Base) and Britain (the country behind The Prodigy, Spice Girls and Wham) prioritised their own music above America’s. In fact Sweden even had to set up a kind of music education to keep its kids from being into American music, though it didn’t last long in a way as American music made inroads as it would in Britain.

It’s not inherently bad to like these musicians for as long as you don’t make idols out of them (to the best of one’s abilities, as I’ve fallen into this trap a lot before), but there’s really no mistaking that America’s at the forefront of popularising a lot of shameful things in life. Whether if this includes prefab boy bands at all but there’s really no getting around that Britain got the idea of making boy bands if it weren’t for America doing it first, so after New Edition we get Take That soon after. Denniz Pop didn’t just produce albums with Ace of Base, he’d also come to produce albums with the Backstreet Boys later on. In the same way there’s no mistaking that America also originated certain dance music genres like techno and house that this would hit Europe one day, where in Britain this led to the formation of acid house (which the Prodigy was a part of this scene early on) around the end of Margaret Thatcher’s reign. Actually it should be noted that Ace of Base also started out as a kind of techno band called Tech Noir, which goes to show you how influential America is to mass culture or pop culture.

If it also means popularising rather embarassing things or other worldly things, that America is going to be at the forefront of filth anyways. It could be argued we have America to blame for why things like porn magazines exist or arguably Barbie, since it turned out that this doll brand’s actually based on a cartoon prostitute named Lili. One would wonder if Denmark’s Aqua was weirldy prescient about this revelation when it came to their most infamous song called ‘Barbie Girl’ (practically their equivalent to The Prodigy’s ‘Smack My B Up’ in terms of controversially sexist lyrics), even when they weren’t aware of it at the time. With the revelation that Barbie is based on a cartoon prostitute makes her much more questionable than one would realise, especially when in tandem with occult imagery, that it seems America succeeds in popularising a lot more questionable things really. Either way, America is Mystery Babylon and will always be at the forefront of popularising spiritual abominations.

The most evil rat that ever lived

Now here’s another person insinuating that Walt Disney may have been into the occult himself to get his films used by certain agencies to indoctrinate or abuse people with, but then again I feel even when it’s not always obvious (though the clues are there in some films like Hell’s Bells and the theme parks like the 33 club or something), if you can tell a tree by its fruit then it will still emerge in some other way. Mind you Disney actually has a radio network in Latin America and when it comes to its Mexican branch, it has played certain songs of a curious (or suspicious) nature like INXS’s ‘Original Sin’, ‘Devil Inside’ and what else, then comes Red Hot Chili Peppers with things like ‘Give It Away’, ‘Dani California’ (which contains the lyrics ‘californication’ and ‘she’s my priestess, I’m her priest’) and the like and the same band that showed up to consecrate the Devil by wearing little else and then there’s ACDC who are no strangers to alluding to the Devil at various points.

I’m not kidding that Radio Disney Mexico actually played some of these songs at some point, even when I didn’t really listen to them (but then again the Instant Audio stations often tend to mention the songs in mind on their playlists, so you could get an idea of what played on them at any point. Let’s not forget that there are some people who allege that Taylor Swift’s also into the occult, as is Lady Gaga, that makes one wonder if that’s why they got so famous that their popularity takes on a Faustinian character. Or even one member of the Prodigy for another matter, since there’s a book where Maxim joined them after getting advice from a palmist. Unfortunately they ended up releasing a very controversial song that defined them for years, sort of like what Barbie Girl did for Aqua and both of them seem to revolve around sexism of some nature being released in both the late 1990s by the way, even if they never intended these songs to come off this way.

(Oh well there goes the Bible verses about the tongue being an uncontrollable fire, how one reaps what they sow, the sword never leaving the home and so on.)

Then again musicians flirting with the occult and the like is disturbingly common in the music industry, even Christians like those in Ace of Base and Hanson have flirted with it at some point, wherein something bad happened to both of them and got them closer to God eventually. Jenny Berggren has actually released a Christian album herself, just as Zac Hanson (one of the Hanson members) went on as a deacon of a local monastery or church. A case of God turning evil into good. But the weird thing about Disney as a corporation and cultural institution is that it’s associated with family entertainment, though it seems its true Satanic nature peeps through from time to time with things like Gravity Falls. This is a programme by Alex Hirsch that gained a cult following and is technically about twin siblings having supernatural misadventures, where the recurring enemy is a glorified Freemason symbol called Bill Cipher. He recently released a book with the character in mind, which seems more explicitly occult.

And it got published by Disney’s own publishing house, Hyperion. There’s also a book called Disney And The Bible, which is about Disney’s involvement in the occult and popularisation of vices like blapshemy and infidelity through Touchstone. This was an adult label used to promote films that wouldn’t technically fall under Disney proper, but as of late from buying 20^th Century Films and Marvel it’s pretty redundant in a way. But I guess nothing new is under the Sun, as Disney still continues to promote filth like Daredevil, which is surprising that for a character who openly resembles the Devil himself, this never gained much ire from Christians. Even when they should know that as the Devil appears as an angel of light, they should be alarmed if he appears as a superhero out of the blue in Marvel comics. Or perhaps Cow and Chicken at some point where the Red Guy was even known as the Devil at some point.

It’s still pretty shocking to me why there’s little Christian backlash to things like Cow and Chicken and I am Weasel when you have a rather sympathetic portrayal of the Devil, or cartoon characters like Daredevil because he’s a Christian who dresses like Satan for some reason. As opposed to the immense backlash Harry Potter got, that as a Redditor said many Christians are worldly (even myself at some point or another a lot). So their discernment of things is shockingly poor, or that they do discern things but seem so desensitised to evil things as to continue enjoying them in some capacity (as it is with myself at times). So it’s no surprise why there’s so little backlash towards cartoon characters like Damian Hellstrom (Son of Satan), Satana, Daredevil and Illyana Rasputina, even when it should make sense to take issue with them as they’re openly demonic and Satanic. It’s no surprise that Disney played a role in desensitising people to sin and the Devil, even when it’s not always the main driver of these phenomena. No wonder why we’re so desensitised to these things that it doesn’t seem strange, even when it’s far from good.

Why it’s like this is because we became worldly, even when we shouldn’t be.

It never really influenced me much

I have listened to K-Pop myself and for some curious reason, I never really get obsessive or curious over any K-Pop band or musician for long the way I do with European bands like Ace of Base, Massive Attack, The Prodigy and Aqua, nor am I actually that influenced by them beyond some interest in South Korea itself in a way. I don’t think I’m really that heavily influenced by any K-Pop band or musician to the extent that I don’t really bother namedropping any one K-Pop member the way I do with Ace of Base members when it comes to learning Indonesian. These are from my notebooks and examples include ‘Jenny membukakan pintu untuk Malin’ (Jenny Berggren’s the younger sister of Malin Berggren, who’s actually the middle child in their family) and ‘Kartu tersebut akan beritahu Ulf Jonas akan pulang’ (Jonas Berggren is the oldest sibling in the family, Ulf Ekberg’s the only nonrelative and was also involved in white supremacy at some point). Nor creating characters resembling any K-Pop celebrity the way I do with the Prodigy and Massive Attack, mind you I based the characters of Fabrice Tientcheu (a forensic scientist) and Colin Sallow (a young politician) after the two oldest surviving members (Maxim and Liam Howlett). Then there’s the Nigerian lawyer Babatunde Osofisan who’s clearly Grant Marshall and the Florentine economist Gaetano Saturni who’s based on Robert Del Naja, not to mention I even have a habit of mirroring mirrored Ace of Base, Massive Attack and Aqua fansites.

Let’s not forget I have also listened to the likes of Altan, Clannad and Capercaillie where these bands piqued my interests in both Irish and Scottish Gaelic, wherein I even bothered learning those for a time being. It’s kind of weird to think not a single K-Pop band actually influenced me to learn Korean in any way, where any K-Pop band has seriously influenced some of the people I have encountered or followed online in any way before. I actually know somebody who does fanart of both Backstreet Boys and Stray Kids, despite being into the Backstreet Boys at some point I don’t like them anymore. But it’s strange that I never really gotten into any K-Pop band or musician, let alone for as long as I have with these bands to the point of mirroring archived fansites mentioning them in any capacity. Let alone namedropping any K-Pop member when learning a new language the way I have with Ace of Base and Aqua members, that it seems whatever influence K-Pop bands have on me is very negligible. The influence they have on me is likely not that tangible, beyond some interest in the K-Pop industry and Korean culture, that it’s kind of strange I never created characters resembling K-Pop musicians. I never namedrop any K-Pop musician when learning a new language like Indonesian, never bothered archiving fansites about them in any way I have with Ace of Base, Massive Attack and Aqua.

It’s not entirely absent but it’s not particularly noticeable in my life that it seems whatever interest I have in K-Pop is more likely to be in passing, since I don’t really get particularly attached to any K-Pop band for some reason. I neither like nor dislike K-Pop that much, but I never really gotten into any K-Pop musician or band that much for that long. The music isn’t bad, but it never really obsessed me much. I’m not entirely immune to K-Pop’s charms but it’s something that I never really got obsessive over in any way, but that I never really developed much interest in any K-Pop band to the point of actively looking for any fansite about any one of them really.

Bad to the bone

Since there are a lot of people who say that America is Mystery Babylon, it might be wise to turn to AA Allen about the matter. He’s one of those prophets who even said that America would get destroyed by Russia for its sins, maybe not in his lifetime, but most definitely in the future where he sees a dying Lady Liberty after getting both stabbed and drunk at the same time (this sounds like a certain Biblical passage about Mystery Babylon), how and why America produces so much morally corrupting media that are even widely accepted by the masses that such media get banned or censored elsewhere. Mind you Denmark even banned a movie featuring the late Shirley Temple, Australia banned Forever Amber where somebody said that the Almighty God would also find this unreadable, and so on in a way others like France and Britain didn’t get to with their own before. True France has Marquis de Sade who produced really vile stuff that got him banned and imprisoned, alongside other activities like killing people and abusing those who’re still alive. But it’s really shocking to think that a country like America, which sees itself as a very Christian nation, producing and popularising such filth that are widely enjoyed by many.

It’s bad enough that at some point in the 1970s when future singer Neil Tennant was working for the British branch of Marvel Comics, he and his crew not only had to localise the comics they were republishing for the British market but also censoring them too. You may know him as one half of the New Wave duo Pet Shop Boys, but even then it’s telling he was charged with making Marvel stories palatable for British readers, knowing the materials they’ll be exposed to would be indecent by their standards. One might wonder why Britain even instigated the Sindy doll, which was a reaction to the worldlier Barbie who’s based on cartoon prostitute Lilli. That does make one wonder if Danish band Aqua seemed uncannily prescient about the revelation that Barbie is based on a cartoon prostitute when they released the song ‘Barbie Girl’ with lyrics that were widely regarded as misogynistic at the time, even if they weren’t immediately aware of the fact back then and like The Prodigy, they might have created a very controversial song by accident and still be seen as sexist despite their best intentions. In the same year, no less! And almost into the new millennium to make matters worse!

America does have quite a knack for popularising and refining such media that their originators don’t get to that many western animations are actually American, for every Totally Spies and Oggy and the Cockroaches (both French animations), there are things like Justice League, Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Mickey Mouse Clubouse, Gravity Falls (itself no strange to certain allusions), Steven Universe and Power Puff Girls. But it could be that a number of other French animations aren’t widely exported and dubbed the way their American counterparts often got, which also goes for their print counterparts (cartooning/comics) that for most of the part, Americans are much likelier to recognise something like The Smurts but not Pussycat despite having the same author together known as Peyo. It’s similarly unlikely for American readers to have heard of things like Lanfeust, Titeuf and Gaston for most of the part, whereas a good number of Francophone readers have heard of things like Batman and Superman. Some Francophone readers have even heard of lesser known characters like X-Man and Wolfsbane (a female werewolf who’s known as Felina in French, also the name of another character, for some reason).

Maybe it’s not the case anymore given China’s and Russia’s resurgence to power, but with America being Mystery Babylon that it popularises or refines vices and new media alike, often combining the two together to create something as potently popular as it’s potently perilous. Then we get the fact that America is actually under judgement for its sins, for refusing to do good even when it’s told to (and when it does, it’s either surprisingly rare or mixed with the bad things it does) and stuff. It would be particularly frightening if America truly becomes everything it hates about China in the future, that even if it completely doesn’t for the meantime, there’s something strange about where America’s heading. Or perhaps maybe not as it’s always been a really double-minded country on the verge of civil instability at any point, not helped by its strongly bipartisan politics and it’s a place where a porn industry coexists with a substantial Christian media one, that makes for a really curious cultural/national character. Even if places like Denmark, Britain (though it will get judged and dissolved), France and Sweden aren’t any better, America is something else altogether.

If it’s the headquarters of Satan on Earth, then America can also be described as Hell on Earth. Hell in miniature in a way if there ever was one at all, one that makes one wonder how and why it got there. God will save a remnant like he did to those in Sodom and Gomorrah, he might do this to any Christian ministry still active in America. But in the near future that will be all there is them, along with what influence America continues to have in the future, however greatly diminished it will be in the future. It’s already getting undone in countries like Canada and Denmark, but this will be sped up and magnified in the future and may even reach the Philippines one day. That in the future, both the Philippines and Canada will be made highly unrecognisable from then on, where much American influence has been purged from these two. There may even come a time when almost nobody remembers American bands and musicians that much, or other American institutions like DC and Marvel, that it’s kind of shocking to think this might happen to me one day.

I might end up remembering very little of the American things I grew up on, so little that it’s practically mostly erased from my mind by then. I might not even be using English anymore this often in the future, mostly writing in Tagalog more fluently and often than at present. Another case of US influence getting greatly undone and removed wherever it went, wherever it was and wherever it is. Even then there’s no mistaking that America is quite possibly the most evil country on Earth and will be revoked for this.

Whither K-Pop

Nakita has a lot of videos concerning the spiritual state of the K-Pop industry and by extension, its originator South Korea itself, that it seems less appealing from the inside out. Not just that K-Pop trainees have to undergo grueling schedules to get to where they are or could be if they never become K-Pop musicians at all (E-Jay auditioned as one but ended up writing songs for the film ‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ instead), but there’s also the odd possibility of Satanic rituals getting done behind close doors that some K-Pop producers’ and musicians’ ascent to popularity takes on a more dubiously Faustinian quality. No different from their western counterparts to the extent of K-Pop musicians repeatedly alluding to the occult and the Devil himself, for they are rebellious and proud per the Bible’s stance on the same. There are even people who also said that JY Park is a false teacher who leads people astray with his dubious teachings and equally dubious music, which would explain why Stray Kids are called Stray Kids. He might even molest all members behind closed doors, but it’s not hidden to God and it will be found out in public.

I feel the issue of idolatry would be the same if somebody substitutes BTS for INXS, but what will differ is a change in sentiment towards South Korean mass culture/Hallyu. I suppose if more scandals were to be uncovered surrounding the K-Pop industry that it might even become unfashionable to publicly admit to liking K-Pop and Hallyu, that it may become highly stigmatised in the future. The issue of idolatry would remain if something like Hungarian, Romanian, Swedish and Polish music were to get really popularised in Canada, but it would become more socially acceptable to partake in anti-Korean sentiment there that to defend K-Pop is to be an outcast. And even then K-Pop is pretty questionable in and of itself, where you have others admitting they couldn’t get into K-Pop because they found the male musicians to be too effeminate and cartoonish. That’s not to say K-Pop boy bands and male solo musicians are necessarily effeminate, but they do things that are really strange for bands like Backstreet Boys and One Direction to regularly do. It’s not uncommon for K-Pop boy band members to dye their hair in strange colours, wear makeup and act cutesy. It would be really weird if many Backstreet Boys members did the same.

(The Backstreet Boys would also be judged for the same things their K-Pop counterparts do, to the point where they all die ingloriously as well as get found out for adultery, sex trafficking and filming snuff videos featuring women, children and animals.)

The western male musicians who do regularly wear makeup in any way are far likelier to be not at all from prefabricated boy bands, something like those from the Prodigy, Tokio Hotel, Culture Club, Duran Duran, Bauhaus, The Damned and the like, that if Bill Kaulitz had been a boy band member (if both Robbie Williams and Harry Styles are any indication), then he’d have to put on a facade of being somebody contrary to his usual presentation. Then again it’s possible it’s not uncommon for western boy bands to be molested by their producers, that they too get corrupted spiritually over time provided when occult activity’s involved at all (even Boyzone’s Shane Lynch said this). This makes their Korean counterparts even more peculiar given how popular they really are outside of South Korea, the way Japanese boy bands aren’t to the same extent and even those who aren’t from prefab bands aren’t well-known to the general public outside of Japanophiles. K-Pop might be popular among certain sectors of the general public, but it’s something that gets more international airplay than J-Pop does, at least for now if K-Pop were to end for real.

That’s from my experience listening to K-Pop not only on local (Philippine) radio stations but also their Mexican counterparts like Radio Disney (believe it or not, it’s still a thing in Latin America for now as the original one’s gone as it will sold to Brazil’s Globo to become Radio Jovem or something due to Disney’s failings), that K-Pop is really more popular among overseas audiences in a way J-Pop isn’t that you can be into K-Pop without really being into anime productions. It’s possible for one’s interest in J-Pop to grow independent of being into anime, but they’re generally entwined not just due to the nature of anime soundtracks containing those but also an overall Japanophilia. In the Philippines I kind of get the impression that Hallyu/South Korean mass culture’s more popular among non-anime fans, but it could be that Hallyu’s better marketed to those outside of geek circles. And even then it’s strange why would both South Korea and the Philippines, both East Asian countries with substantial Christian populations, would openly partake in idolatry that they will get comeuppances for what they do as to be given over to China forever.

South Korea might end up reuniting with North Korea, that the later version of Hallyu (if it were to persist in some way) would evolve to fit the new Korean reality at best. But even then the K-Pop industry as we know it might not exist anymore and likely the same for offshoots like P-Pop, where if a P-Pop industry were to grow substantially and since these musicians are openly referred to as idols, that such an industry and likely a degree of Korean (and moreso Western/American) influence in the Philippines will be revoked forever. If because the Philippines loves its sins and chooses to do evil, that the things that make it distinctive in East Asia will either be revoked or minimised, that eventually in the near future the Philippines will really be no different from the rest of its neighbours in most regards. South Korea would be no different either as it’s been suspected that K-Pop takes its cues from American music and more specifically African American music, quite unsurprisingly some of the earliest K-Pop musicians like Seo Taji were also into hip hop at some point, that such an industry would collapse and get revoked over time as well. Ultimately the K-Pop industry and its offshoots will be over, same goes for the J-Pop idol industry that it will look very different in the future.

And even if J-Pop were to continue existing in the future, it would be one where there are no openly proclaimed idols at all. It would be a different music industry in the wider East Asian region by then where there were once prefab boy bands and girl groups, now there are going to be more K-Rock, Trot, K-Rap and Ballad musicians as Trot is a genre specific to South Korea. There might still be singers who don’t write their own songs and play instruments, there might still be pop bands in the molds of Aqua and Ace of Base, but the boy band and girl group schools will be over by then. If because with these bands there’s a tendency to deliberate cultish interest in them, where members have to adopt personae to appeal to these people regardless of who they really are in person. And even their social media presence is more likely to be highly curated, considering that it might not fully reflect on what else interests them offline. It would be frightening if somebody like AJ McLean doesn’t have affairs with his fans (same with Nick Carter), but also films himself abusing women and animals (which Nick also does) that goes to show you their own public online presences don’t fully represent their actual personalities, given the nature of dark web.

And it would be pretty frightening if Nick Carter also films himself abusing women and animals mixed with Satanic rituals, that there will even come a time when all the Backstreet Boys will show up onstage dressed as demons and flashing the Satanic pentagram onscreen that makes you wonder who they actually serve, and it’s much likelier they don’t really serve God at all, despite Brian Littrell proclaiming himself to be a Christian. This is also true for their K-Pop counterparts and why such curated personae exist, even when the musicians themselves don’t consistently live up to it even in private and online. It’s not necessarily wrong to be in a vocal group and boy bands really do have their roots in doo-wop, but the way boy bands and girl groups are made deliberate idolatry in their fans that it’s likely why such affections exist in the first place. To the extent it’s wiser to do a Zac Hanson than to do a Brian Littrell, losing fans by mistake only to come closer to God and do the Great Commission (that Littrell himself wanted to do at some point). A would-be member named Burk Parsons went on to become a pastor instead, dodging a bullet that would’ve had fans writing pornographic stories about him by then. (This would’ve been called visuals at the height of BSB’s popularity.)

The way such obsession’s engineered and deliberated to even induce sexual obsessions with them at various points, even if it’s not unique to boy bands as others undergo this in a way as well, that even if not all boy band fans (much less K-Pop and BSB fans) remain like this, but it’s terribly not uncommon to find pornographic fanfictions with K-Pop and BSB really. And why it speaks volumes to this sort of engineered rebellion and idolatry that those who could’ve formed families (sometimes it doesn’t go as expected due to their own shortcomings affecting things) end up getting really devoted to those bands instead. The problem’s the same if you substitute Stray Kids with Stray Cats, but what’s different with K-Pop is how upfront it is about these things as to warrant getting removed for good. To close things though I didn’t get into any K-Pop band for real, I do have my moments of idolatry towards musicians and bands as to get disappointed at times, and I listened to K-Pop before until God told me to stop listening to this and eventually I did. Angelamarie Ucci said that idols can disappoint people (as it did to me before), that there’s a current backlash to Taylor Swift (her former favourite musician) for having a man she truly loves in her life.

It’s like this with one musician, though I’ve prayed for it, it does prove Ucci’s point right. She’s likely praying for Taylor Swift too and will be saved in due time, though it remains to be seen if it gets fulfilled at all, but ultimately there’s something about the showbiz industry that deliberates obsessive behaviours towards otherwise unlikable people that it feels like a cosmic prank played by Satan to go after people the public doesn’t genuinely trust and like all the time and why idolatry’s bad, which is something I still struggle with at times, to the point where things happen if I can’t worship God and Mammon. I do pray for them, though some will be answered in due time, as for others it might not be answered at all if they continue to do evil, so said the Lord.

Goldilocks

Why would this post be titled Goldilocks when it’s got more to do with a prophecy regarding Russia attacking America in the near future? This is because the prophecy uses bears and a late Russian politician to convey this message from God. Goldilocks is generally the story of a young blonde girl who goes to a house and gets the bears’ porridge, which has been retold multiple times but the story itself has seen other permutations before its popularisation. There are other versions where Goldilocks is clearly a old woman who gets killed, another where she has platinum blonde hair instead, and even a fox appears in her place in yet another. The brown bear is pretty much Russia’s national animal, analogous to how the bald eagle stands in for the United States.

There’s actually a photograph of a she-bear and her offspring raiding a bald eagle’s nest, so if Russia (as symbolised by the bear) were to attack America (which is either symbolised by the bald eagle or at some point, a woman wherein America itself gets analogised to Mystery Babylon), then this is what America will get for what it does to others. There are others who ponder if certain songs like American Pie might be prophetic in nature, regarding America’s future downfall, that it’s possible God does use other means of getting the message across. Sometime ago when I prayed for certain musicians and bands, I ended up encountering posts eeriely similar to either one of them in some way or another. So this is how God answered these prayers, not just through prophecy, but also word choices.

The one time I read a devotional in the late afternoon, when I was praying something I encountered a post called ‘Prisoners of Hope’. This isn’t just part of the lyrics of an Ace of Base song called ‘Lucky Love’, but it’s also there in the Bible and one of the members is a Christian herself, despite her mishaps from time to time. She turned to God more after her sister got traumatised by a stalker, so this is one way my prayer for them got answered. An even more shocking one that I encountered months before was that one of the prophetesses on 444ProphecyNews shares the same surname as one member from the band The Prodigy, the one thing more shocking than this is that the root word for ‘prodigy’ is there in the Vulgate version of the Bible. So God did answer the prayers I have for them, in ways I’d never expect to show up.

So the idea that God gave this prophet a vision of Mikhail Gorbachev and the three bears as symbolic of what Russia will do to America, given the popular folktale having the leitmotif of the three bears and America is Mystery Babylon. If Babylon is assumed to be the daughter of another nation-state (Sumer in the Old Testament, Britain in the New Testament), let’s not forget that in French the word ‘fille’ doubles as both ‘daughter’ and ‘girl’. The old woman in Eleanor Mure’s story subsequently got younger in later stories, so it kind of fits in a way that America would steal something from Russia only to get attacked eventually. What’s more is that Russia might get back Alaska in years, that if America’s entitled to get more territories from ailing empires like what it did to Spain regarding both the Philippines and Guam, then it’s only fair that Russia would do the same towards all of Europe and half of the Americas.

Especially now that America’s in decline itself that it will be finished much sooner than expected, with nearly all its states getting destroyed by a decade later that America is over by then. America being such a double–minded country that it’s a house that’s divided, it can’t stand on its own for longer that civil war may come to it. It will actually get invaded by other countries like China even, it will be ruled over by a despot (though others argue it’s already happening) and it will even come to persecute Christians itself. An earthquake will even halve part of the North American continent (which America sits on), America and Europe might get overruled by Islamic law, America experiencing a nasty brownout because it loves spiritual darkness a lot, America getting judged for this is inevitable.

America will get a famine not just due to its evil nature, but that it will exacerbate pre-existing problems like recurring food insecurity for the poor. It assumes itself to be a queen that will not experience sadness, though ironically it will soon enough. For a country that has a lot, it’s truly disillusioned and ungrateful on the inside. Or that it’s really a failure in the making, turning out to be the ultimate failed state if there will be one at all. And one that makes you question a lot about the United States and its habit of corrupting the planet.

Rude Britannia

Somebody said that Britain, like its offspring America, is also wicked and will be abolished in some fashion. They went on saying that Britain the nation-state isn’t just wicked, so is the entire House of Windsor not helped by that a good number of family members are involved in infidelity/adultery in some manner. Mind you Princess Diana has actually been involved in affairs with other men herself, there was something like the Squidgygate controversy, because one of Diana’s lovers called her that and it was even recorded. It’s the whole sin finds you out thing all over again, where it seems even reports about Diana’s affairs are also inescapable to all but some of her fans. Though it’s been eclipsed by her own husband’s affair with the current Queen of Britain, but it doesn’t help when one of their own sons also did the same thing.

To the point where such embarassing actions are actually on-par with the entire family at hand, I remember somebody else on YouTube saying that her brother has a video recording of the prior Queen of Britain eating a person herself. On top of that she said that the Royal Family even invited a witch over to their place, despite the fact that the Queen or King of Britain is also the head of the Anglican Church. Well it was in the case of Queen Elizabeth as she’s dead for roughly three years now. One might wonder why some Nigerian Anglican churches decided to cut off ties to their British counterparts, clearly something is rotten in the state of the United Kingdom to paraphrase William Shakespeare. There’s something wrong with the House of Windsor, so it’s going to go down in flames.

Should further controversies come to this royal family, this might prompt others to find ways of abolishing the British monarchy for good. There has been calls to both Scottish and Welsh indepedence and to have Northern Ireland to reunite with the Republic of Ireland, thus snuffing out Britain in its current form. Further dismantling this would have Jamaica and other Anglophone Caribbean countries become republics themselves as well, Barbados has gone before them a few years ago. The one condition where these four countries would reunite in some fashion is to join Russia, if because all of Europe has backslided as to warrant getting captured by their enemy as comeuppance for their misdeed. World War Three is coming sooner than expected, so Britain might experience its own civil war when this happens.

Something like this happened before in WWI where the breakups of the Ottoman Empire and Austro-Hungarian Empire led to new nation-states in their place, Britain could witness its own balkanisation at any point this year. Scotland might be the first country to secede, then come Wales and Northern Ireland in a way, before the latter formally reunites with the Republic of Ireland. When this happens, this is when their own local languages get popularised big time, but most especially Ireland. Mind you Irish is the native language of Ireland, and if Northern Ireland does reunite with the Republic of Ireland, that this is where the Irish language gets popularised significantly. Admittedly this is something that I prayed for and interceded for regarding Irish celebrities, if because it’s a shame why it declined in usage over time.

Or Scots, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh in the same way, that the balkanisation of Britain wouldn’t just hasten this process, but also reinvigorate the usage of these languages big time just the same. Maybe not immeditately though it could happen sooner than expected, but even then in an effort to unite these countries as one kingdom resulted in the marginalisation of these languages. Having the United Kingdom get dissolved at this point in time might result in the reinvigoration and popularisation of these languages, perhaps more significant in the future than at present. And then there are others calling for Britain to recognise its own role in slavery and to own it up to it big time, one particular example is Benedict Cumberbatch’s family being involved in this in the newly independent Barbados.

Let’s not forget that Massive Attack’s own Daddy G/Grant Marshall and the Prodigy’s Maxim Reality have family members there that if Benny C’s own ancestor impregnated either man’s own female ancestor that this would make for an awkward family reunion of sorts, eventually the Barbadian press will smack him up when Britain gets dissolved at the same time. Many African countries have already been independent of Britain for years, but when Britain does get dissolved that they’ll most likely expound on their national identities even more. It would be the norm for African schools to popularise and teach indigenous languages from then on, same goes for African media institutions and so on. Maybe not immediately, but this would further strengthen local cultures there, this would be no different with India, Myanmar, Malaysia, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Countries that would most likely be heavily affected by the balkanisation of Britain outside of the Caribbean are New Zealand, Australia and Canada, all of them settler colonies of Britain. This might strengthen the need to decolonise these countries, since this is something the Caribbean countries have stridently sought for. This might lead to a strengthening of popularising local languages like Maori, Dyirbal and Cree, though Canada might not be lucky as it would get captured twice. First by America when it becomes a truly authoritarian country, then by Russia as comeuppance for its own sins and to spite America with. Both Australia and New Zealand would most likely end up as Chinese satellite states, the Lesser China to the Philippines joining Greater China for their own vices.

The European Union might either dissolve or merge with Russian’s own Commonwealth of Independent States, should Vladimir Putin and Russia in general ever bother capturing all the European Union countries and countries from the dissolved United Kingdom in a successive go. This has been repeatedly prophesised in Celestial’s blog that this may come to pass, resulting in the third incarnation of the Russian empire where it’s composed of not only the former Soviet Union republics and the European Soviet satellite states, but also the European Union members that were never part of the Soviet Union in some manner or another. This might prompt China to form its own version, one that’s halfway between the Soviet Union of yore and the European Union of now, involving all the East Asian countries this time.

But this is also a case of China getting back more than what it lost, since it used to influence much of East Asia to varying degrees depending on the country. Coupled with it having a rising Christian population that it’s on its way to getting compensated for the losses it faced, so Greater China will include China itself, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, a reunified Korea, the Philippines, Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Timor Leste, Brunei, Mongolia and Laos, possibly Bhutan even but it’s tentative. Lesser China will include nearly all the African countries (both North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa) and the Oceanian countries, essentially a new Eastern Bloc to counteract the third incarnation of the Russian Empire. Celestial even said that both China and Russia will become the new world hegemons from then on.

Doubling down on this would be that the new version of Commonwealth of Indepedent States (soon to be renamed to Commonwealth of Russian States or something) would include Russia itself, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova (though this is tentative as these two might unite as one), North Macedonia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece, possibly Turkey due to its European aspirations, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, maybe Iran, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Malta, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland (after it gets bombed), Monaco, Liechenstein, Vatican City, San Marino, Italy, Gilbraltar, Isle of Man, Guerneysey, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Luxembourg, Albania, Bosnia (or what remains of it as it’s going to get dissolved), Slovenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Krygyzstan, Armenia, Georgia, Canada, America (for awhile before getting drowned or something), Montenegro, Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Andorra and Kosovo.

Anyways the world as it is will change a lot towards Christmas this year, not just with Ghana and Nigeria becomnig newly industrialised countries very soon, but also Russia getting the rest of Europe in a successively short go or China towards the rest of East Asia for another matter, that we’ll be inching closer to WWIII anytime soon.

The dirt of Hollywood

When it comes to America, there are people who think it’s morally rotten to the core. Somebody like AA Allen said that American culture has a habit of both producing and popularising filth, that if America is Mystery Babylon then it makes sense it would house these abominations to begin with. Celestial even said that people get molested in Hollywood as part of these occult rituals to get rich and famous, though she pretty much mentioned one Disney alumna of the 1990s, that is Britney Spears though similar things can be said of others like her costar Christina Aguilera and then Sabrina Carpenter. All three women started out as wholesome and twee, especially with the former two very early on in their careers. If all three of them got sodomised and sodomy is one abhorrent sex act, then this might partly explain why they turned out this way.

Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising why #MeToo happened in Hollywood, I remember reading somewhere that actresses are even made to sleep with directors to get to where they want to be. This should hint at something spiritually odious in Hollywood that not many realise, that these people get raped in sex acts as part of evil rituals designed to degrade them from the inside out. Even Beyonce herself isn’t spared from these sex acts, and quite horribly her own husband Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) even makes other people sleep with her. Like he even encourages this sort of cuckoldry onto himself, but he’s also a Satanist and and so is she in kind. A match made in Hell if there ever was one at all, if water attracts its own level then that’s why they’re like this.

The idea that Lady Gaga is in league with the Devil is not lost on other people, there are some people who say that the woman who’s getting ripped apart in Lady Gaga’s nightmare is Lady Gaga herself, portending what will happen to her in the afterlife. At any point where she could’ve turned to God, she ended up turning to false teachers more. It’s true that any celebrity can get saved, I’ve done this before to others in the past. But on the other hand, it does explain why Lady Gaga has a rather preternatural appeal that makes people think she’s much better than she really is. Like you have people saying that she’s a genius, but there are others who have her calibre yet don’t possess the fame she has. One thing that’s more plausible to secular people is that she had good connections before, she even wrote some songs for the band Pussycat Dolls.

My father said that there are filmmakers who might be more talented than their better known counterparts are, but barely gain traction in the film industry as they don’t have the connections needed to get by. It would be no different with Lady Gaga in a way as she’s connected to other people who made their mark in the music industry before, thus she’s able to have the popularity that truly struggling musicians wish to have. There could be Soundcloud musicians who’re far more talented than she is in the same things she’s famous for, but don’t gain the same traction as they never worked with another celebrity before, much less a better known one at that. A rather Kafkasque example (and one who’s most similar to Chappell Roan) is Katy Perry.

She came from a Christian family and started out as a Christian singer, but I remember her saying that her upbringing was too strict. Somebody else said that it’s likely something went wrong in the Perry household, given she is the daughter of a pastor herself. All these unrealistic expectations placed upon her had her questioning her faith eventually and going over to the dark side, I said that Chappell Roan’s like the 2020s version of Katy Perry in terms of upbringing and trajectory. If Katy Perry were to be starting out in the late 2010s, she would’ve been a lot more like Chappell Roan by then. My sister said that her parents do pray for it, as confirmed in this article. Both women’s cases are more sobering than infurirating, given they started out as Christians.

Backstreet Boys might be equal parts sobering and infurirating, in fact both at the same time, because of the way Brian Littrell chooses to lead his band and his own life. If actions and choices have consequences, then it shouldn’t come as a surprise that for a man who professes to be a Christian and yet makes his fans attend his band’s sponsored cruises, one of his bandmates is really a serial rapist and another is known to cheat on his ex-wife by dating his fans, that makes one wonder if Littrell made himself a stumbling block for not only his fans but also his bandmembers. The ones who personally know him better than fans do, that it would be horrifying if they have the audacity to show up as demons one day, then getting killed by a flood or something. If BSB members got sodomised, then Nick’s own mum Jane was onto something.

Lou Pearlman was noted to molest his trainees or employees (to borrow something from K-Pop because it’s practically no different), he even formed the Backstreet Boys as a synthesis of both New Kids On The Block (also derivative of an earlier black vocal group called New Edition) and the less wholesome Chippendale dancers. This might explain things like ‘Quit Playing Games With My Heart’, which is really alarming because this video was made when Nick Carter was legally a minor in other places. Even when Lou Pearlman didn’t molest Nick Carter, he still would’ve been inappropriate to him in another way. Backstreet Boys first got popular in Europe, where some countries like Britain, Ireland and Germany have a lower age of consent enough for Pearlman to get away with this, so Jane was really onto something.

Burk Parsons was set to join the Backstreet Boys and despite briefly entertaining thoughts of joining them, he decided against it to both honour God and his father’s wishes. Otherwise we could’ve gotten pornographic fanfiction featuring him and his would-be bandmembers, so he really did dodge a bullet by refusing to join them. Given writing pornographic stories about a celebrity amounts to writing pornographic stories about a stranger, it’s actually kind of creepy that somebody has sexual fantasies of a person they personally don’t know much. Projecting their sexual fantasies onto them, that should give you an idea of how unsettling this would’ve been to Burk if somebody wrote porn about him and his would-be bandmembers. It’s shocking why Brian Littrell never seemed to mind it much, since he’s a Christian himself.

But as what other people said, guys like him aren’t just arrogant but evil to the core. Or at least somebody who got worse over time because Littrell also wanted to join ministry himself, though unfortunately it seems his own contemporary Zac Hanson is living out what he wanted to do at some point. It’s wiser to do a Zac Hanson than a Brian Littrell in the sense of committing social suicide by accident to draw closer to God, as he turns mishaps into blessings, than to deliberately commit spiritual suicide by wallowing a lot in the attention fans give to him and his band. It’s perhaps befitting why Brian Littrell seems to condone the song ‘Everybody’ despite knowing it blasphemes God, that no sooner or later his band will face many more scandals but ones that reveal that all members have affairs with their fans.

This will be big news in the future when this gets revealed, perhaps it’s rather disturbing why Brian Littrell chooses to stay with them and never rebuking them if they sin. And if all of them have affairs with fans that will be publicised in the future, it’s as if they exploit their fans for sexual gratification. It’s actually kind of abusive of them to do this to their fans, but if sodomy’s shown to corrupt people, then it shouldn’t be surprising why they turned out to be this way. Burk Parsons’s father knew how corrupting American showbiz is to people and Celestial’s words confirm it in a way, but one particularly tragic instance from the late 2000s would be the Jonas Brothers. They also come from a Christian family and likely were sodomised, to the point of drifting away from the faith.

At any point where Nick Jonas could’ve married a nice Christian woman, he married a practising Hindu instead. Unequally yoked, he could practise Hinduism for real. He is in the early stages of doing it, it would be grim he might convert to Hinduism for real. Sabrina Carpenter is one recent example of a Disney star who became less wholesome over time, her early 2000s counterpart would be Christina Aguilera. If there’s nothing new under the sun, both women do have a habit of blaspheming God a lot. That’s in addition to having a very sexualised public image, if I’m not mistaken Christina Aguilera’s fine with dating women. Sabrina Carpenter does no differently in some regards, save for a lack of interest in women. But there’s something kind of wicked about these women.

Or at least the way they carry themselves actually makes them repulsive to men seeking long-term marital partners, women they’d bring home to their mothers and fathers (parents in other words). These two are also the sort of women certain men would happily bash for being promiscuous and oversexualised, but it still points to a possibility that some men really do want good, decent women around in their lives. Kind of makes you wonder why the tradwife phenomenon took root, though precedents to it have been formenting before. Admittedly not all tradwives truly live up to what they want to be, let alone all the time, but the other extreme’s not any better either. Taylor Swift has actually been suspected of doing witchcraft before, as well as doing things to the contrary.

Even then there was something fishy about her girl next door reputation, regarding her dating history until now, that it seems she wasn’t that wholesome to those who have the misfortune of being around her on a bad day. An even more shocking revelation with celebrity fandoms and the like is that it feels like a cosmic prank pulled by the Devil where people make idols out of the most unlikable and insufferable people one would meet on a bad day in person, particularly some celebrities with really obnoxious fans. Similar things could be said of Nick Carter, given how ridiculously defensive a number of his fans are of him. Even without the spiritual angle being involved, Mr Carter would still be kind of repulsive to some people. Especially some women who can’t stand that such men pay more mind to video games than to relationships.

This is particularly true that if it weren’t for him being a celebrity and all that nostalgia involved, many women wouldn’t find him that attractive when it comes to his hobbies. (This brings new meaning to the song ‘Quit Playing Games With My Heart’, especially for women who can’t stand their men playing video games.) Celebrity culture still feels like a cosmic prank by Satan where people fall for the most unlikable and insufferable folks in town, whilst gossip is technically a sin it doesn’t help when you have people already distrusting the nature of American showbiz that ultimately there’s no point in liking such people to begin with. Whilst it’s true that Jesus and his cohorts weren’t always liked by others either, for his disciples this is sometimes due to their own sins that got them there, but celebrity culture is another matter.

It’s basically glamourising the lives of the rich and suspicious, in the sense that people will always suspect them of being annoying, abusive, mentally ill, promiscuous or gay, it’s going after really unlikable people. Angelamarie Ucci said that idols do have the ability to disappoint people and it has happened to me before multiple times, particularly disliking what I like, and although I do pray for these people, it does make you wonder if there are others who might fulfill this ideals better. If Gerard Way is everything fans make Nick Carter out to to be, since the latter could’ve easily joined Gamergate if he never joined a boy band and was a young man in the 2010s due to him being exposed to sexist media in his youth and him being a massive rapist to boot, similar things can be said of other people in a way just the same.

Or better still God in the sense of somebody who’s actually good, given it seems a number of these celebrities seem to be unrepentant criminals. Be it Michael Jackson, Nick Carter, Simon Le Bon, David Bowie and who else, Celestial said that Michael Jackson sacrifices people to the Devil and such people shouldn’t even bother listening to his music to begin with. Angelica Zambrano said that Michael Jackson made a deal with the Devil, alarming he’s in hell so his afterlife is far from satisfying. There are also other people who have visions of seeing celebrities in hell, including somebody like Joey Ramone for instance. He’s from the band The Ramones, they were historically more popular in Britain and Latin America than they were in America, they also highly rejected God when somebody wanted them saved. So that’s why all the original members died.

The only surviving members at this point are the substitutes like Marky Ramone, Clem Burke and Ritchie Ramone, those who could be saved and repent at this point whilst they still have a chance to live to meet him through somebody. I guess the real reason why people fear death, including myself, especially the fear of themselves dying is really wanting to live in an endles present without much regard for their future. Much less an afterlife in mind, where the Bible talks about the narrow road to Heaven and the wide road to Hell. There’s something oddly and interestingly harrowing about the actual afterlives of celebrities like Joey Ramone and Marilyn Monroe, where it’s one thing to be immortalised in secular media, it’s another to discover where they actually went to once they died.

Marilyn Monroe also rejected God and then she died young, she also led a very ungodly lifestyle beforehand. I’ve rejected God before and faced the music a lot, but that’s sometimes due to my desire to keep a cool head. It’s kind of hard trying not to commit a sin and then do another, like either I’m in bondage to my sins or that I rely on my own efforts to get it right. Even then it seems wise to think of celebrity culture as a prank pulled by Satan, where it seems the biggest role models in pop culture/mass culture are also the most spiritually and morally suspicious. I remember a radio preacher saying that people like Brian Littrell are wicked, it would be even more alarming to think that Brian and the rest of the Backstreet Boys are all destined to go to Hell for whatever they’re doing at present.

This revelation or epiphany goes hand in hand with all of them turning out to have had affairs with their fans, that it does make one wonder if they actually sexually exploit them for their own gratification. It makes more sense to think of groupies as victims who find themselves exploited by their favourite musicians for certain favours, but this means these musicians are practically grooming them to be their playthings. It’s like if Nick Carter has a secret account somewhere online to groom one fan to be his mistress, despite being a married man with children, coupled with him being absent from his house for days that he manages to lead a double life that’ll be found out in due time. The one thing more horrifying than both Nick and AJ having affairs with their fans is learning that Kevin, Howie and Brian also do the same thing too.

The way the Backstreet Boys treat women could be misogynistic in its own right, in the sense that you have people saying that the Backstreet Boys would always look for women to date in their prime, Brian Littrell having the audacity to photograph his wife’s buttocks, Nick Carter raping women and AJ McLean having affairs with his own fans prior to his divorce, that in reality they’re just as bad as the Beatles were. Somebody like Gerard Way has the audacity to refuse making women undress for him, even if he does slip up he seems like the sort of guy who drinks his respect women beverages a lot more often than Nick Carter does, essentially the person the latter gets made out to be. Something tells you what the Backstreet Boys actually think of women when their members have watched porn, abuse women, cheat on their wives with their fans and objectify their wives, that it’s far from feminist.

They most likely think of women as playthings who exist to gratify them, not when they start rebuking them of being cruel that’s when their actual attitudes to women come into play. Gerard Way doesn’t do this often but it seems BSB fans are some of the most defensive people I’ve ever encountered, like some of them are in denial that their favourites do abuse people. And others are in denial that fellow fans do make porn based on the BSB themselves, it’s even noted somewhere online that such stories were called visuals before. Given Brian Littrell made the conscious decision to join a boy band instead of ministry that this is what he sowed: popularity with fans, then comes drug addictions and porn addictions, then comes rape allegations. It seems Brian Littrell actually prefers the world over the word of God, that this explains why he never brings his fans to church.

Though similar things could be said of Ace of Base in a way, but the difference is that this band’s been defunct for a long time. Additionally Jenny Berggren sings in church these days, whereas Brian Littrell continues to be in the secular music industry. Zac Hanson, who’s much younger than him, serves in church as a deacon after being rejected by his own fans. They’re not without their own faults and I do pray for them to stop doing bad things themselves, keep them from doing worse and so on, but the Backstreet Boys is really a tragic example of what happens when a Christian elects to do wrong and be of the world. Or the Jonas Brothers for another matter as they have pastors for parents, that it’s going to be alarming if Nick Jonas ever converts to Hinduism in earnest. It might be possible to prevent them from doing worse through intercessions, but it’s disturbingly plausible for him to become a Hindu for real.

It would be alarming if there’s a place in Hell for both bands to reside in, it would be just as horrifying to think that somebody like Michael Hutchence is also in Hell. He was the singer of this band called INXS and this is one of the bands I’ve encountered whilst watching Channel V (a music channel not unlike MTV) when I was younger, from the outset he seemed to have it all. Wealth, lots of adoring fans, chart-topping hits, touring nearly all over the world, yet he struggled with demons. Not just the colloquial meaning of having problems, but also that he alluded to the King of Demons in some songs like ‘Devil Inside’ and ‘Original Sin’, that makes you wonder if he himself is of the world. I remember a pastor discussing about the same things about Chester Bennington (and implicitly about my cousin), that it seems the worldly life isn’t holy and isn’t worth admiring either.

No surprise why these celebrities openly struggle with drug addiction, sex addiction, porn addiction, alcoholism and the like, that it’s one thing to know that they’re human. It’s another to make paragons out of people who really aren’t in person, most especially people like Nick Carter, Michael Jackson and David Bowie regarding the subject of rape, that it’s not surprising why a good number of people don’t trust or like showbiz. It’s not always that it’s unintelligent or whatever but there’s really no point in going after public figures that other people don’t really fully trust, if such magazines are to be believed in a way, that it seems somebody like Nick Carter and Taylor Swift were kind of moral failures themselves in their own right. Others like Nick Jonas, Chappell Roan and Katy Perry are kind of depressing in a way, regarding that they all come from Christian families and become anti-Christian themselves eventually.

If Satan was the angel of music and got kicked out for his arrogance, maybe it’s not surprising why showbiz is highly susceptible to his influence. So susceptible that it’s actually common for aspiring musicians to turn to the occult and/or become arrogant in a way, it’s not just rockers that turn to the occult to get their 15 minutes of fame. So do pop musicians, electronic musicians (I remember this book called Electronic Punks where somebody like Maxim turned to a palmist to know what his future could be when he wasn’t a well-established musician), rappers and even classical musicians like Niccolo Paganini (pagan), that secular musicians making nice with the Devil is the norm. It’s possible to pray for your favourite musicians to stop doing these things, making them read the Bible and so on. I actually prayed for this band called The Prodigy, where Maxim’s from, and there were signs of it getting answered.

First, I had a dream of them in church. Then comes encountering somebody on 444ProphecyNews with the same surname as Maxim’s own bandmate, Liam Howlett (it’s surreal), and then there’s a dream of them swimming around in a building, hinting at their baptism. Since I also prayed for everybody in Ace of Base to get saved, first was that one of them is a Christian, then comes prophecies with keywords also found in their songs and then a devotional called Prisoners of Hope, which is also both a Bible verse and another keyword in one of their own songs. So these prayers got answered in very surreal ways, I even have a document called Of God and Maxim Guns: Presbyterianism in Nigeria, another unexpected answer. The one thing even more surreal than these things is seeing members of these bands together in church, like I said I had a dream of the Prodigy members in church.

I guess if this is true, it’s better to stay away from the world. Not necessarily in near total seclusion, but being more judicious and selective with what you read (this is what I strive to do), listen, associate with and so on as to avoid being badly influenced for long. I’ve been exposed to an anti-Christian environment for so long that it’s going to take time to overcome them, I even think some of the Newsboys’ problems stem from being too friendly with the secular world that makes it harder for one member to overcome his own sins, having a road pastor helps to keep him in check. But it’s still better to actively avoid secular venues, if it makes it harder to overcome certain sins. It’s been like this with me before and I do my hardest to try to avoid these things, but this means being this selective with what I consume. If it means letting go of certain things, then it’s going to help me more in the long run.

And perhaps if the showbiz world is truly wedded to the Devil, it’s not a surprise why it aims to be as filthy as possible in many senses of the word. Christina Aguilera didn’t just blaspheme God when she was younger, she’s also terribly promiscuous and sex-obsessed that it does make one wonder why some men prefer to have more wholesome women in their lives instead. It’s common to have women complain about their menfolk having affairs and watching porn, though the reverse has to be considered in light of things like wives having to submit to their husbands, that one can make an argument of men being similarly grieved whenever their wives have affairs of sorts. It does make one wonder why the tradwife thing happened, deep down inside it seems some people yearn for a world where women do willingly follow their husbands’ and boyfriends’ better judgements.

But I feel this is lost on some women that it amounts to being boybossed around a lot, why there’s a Bible verse stating that it’s better to be single than to live with an annoying broad, that makes one wonder why some men wouldn’t want to marry Christina Aguilera. Or why her own marriage to one man’s short lived, with her being more sexually attracted to women than men, it seems her marriage seemed performative and perhaps no sooner or later, she might come out as a lesbian. Then she’ll epitomise two misogynistic stereotypes at once: the sex-obsessed attention grabbing woman and the man-hating lesbian, where it seems some people’s suspicions of feminism being full of man-hating lesbians were not entirely off. With some reports of Aguilera herself being open to relationships with women, it seemed she never really could handle becoming a submissive housewife type.

Again another example of the showbiz industry promoting worldliness and lies where it seems okay to write songs about being single despite being married in reality (see also Beyonce Knowles and now Taylor Swift), it seems okay to be in an unhappy marriage with a man whilst pursuing adulterous relationships with women, it seems okay to have affairs with your fans and so on. It seems people like Christina Aguilera were never really good role models for women, much less women seeking lifelong relationships with men so I don’t think Taylor Swift’s entirely to blame for this, even though she’s a more relevant example at present. It’s one thing to criticse Tay for dumping one guy after another until she met somebody she actually likes, it’s another to deal with that Christina was never really that into guys and being more sexually attracted to women might explain why her relationships with men don’t go well.

Celestial even said that Beyonce’s actually bisexual because she had affairs with both men and women alike, that it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that Christina Aguilera herself could be in the lines of this as well. She’s even done the same things as Taylor Swift did, that it seems Aguilera wouldn’t be the best role model to look up to when seeking lifelong monogamous relationships with men either. Actually the argument would be stronger in her case, because she admits to being sexually attracted to women and she even has a picture by Bansky of the late Queen Elizabeth as a lesbian. So she’s not going to be a good role model for women seeking lifelong relationships with men, especially if her own relationships with men tend to be short-lived and a possibly stronger attraction to women to boot.

Although idolising the likes of say Jenny Berggren, Tracey Thorn and the like wouldn’t be any better either, or Taylor Swift for this matter but the main difference is that Taylor Swift never seemed to struggle with same-sex attraction (I kind of do from time to time). Like if you want to be in a lifelong relationship with one man, if Taylor Swift isn’t the right one but so is Christina Aguilera (well, it’s worse in her case really), that you’re better off not idolising her whilst being on the quest to be with a loving husband for long. Even then it seems those in showbiz really do kind of glamourise and even popularise such bad habits, that people are far better off not idolising them for long. Even if not all celebrities do this for long, they’re needles in a haystack. And the showbiz industry really is a cosmic prank by Satan to beguile people with.
