Megan Fox Declares She Won't Be "A Human Sacrifice"

An image from Fox's infamous "mannequin" photo shoot for "Interview" magazine

This recent Esquire interview with actress Megan Fox, "Megan Saves Herself," starts with a detailed description of Aztec sacrifices, and only gets weirder from there. It is a narrative consciously shaped by -- and fairly steeped in -- "Hollywood Illuminati"/"MK-Ultra Girls" folklore, with Fox portrayed as the sacrifice that escaped her fate. Along the way she discusses the Book Of Revelation, aliens, and speaking in tongues.

Tila Tequila tells the "Illuminati" to eff off

Really, not since the infamous Tila Tequila "Fuck You The Illuminati" rants have we had a celebrity like Fox so fully embrace this narrative, though one has to wonder if Esquire, like so many other media outlets, are "hep" to the idea that anything concerning shadowy Hollywood secret societies sacrificing starlets on a profane altar has a particular commercial appeal these days:

Deep in her house, Megan Fox and I are discussing human sacrifice. I tell her about an Aztec ritual practiced five hundred years ago in ancient Mexico during the feast of Toxcatl, when the Aztecs picked a perfect youth to live among them as a god. He was a paragon, beautiful and fit and healthy, with ideal proportions...The sacrifice's year was filled with constant delight, I tell her. He danced through the streets adorned in luxurious clothes given to him by the master, decked in flowers and incense, playing magical flutes that brought prosperity to the whole world. He had eight servants and four virgins to attend to his every need, and could wander wherever he pleased. But at the end of the year, when the feast of Toxcatl came around again, the perfect youth had to smash his flutes and climb the stairs of the great temple, where the priests would cut out his heart and offer it, still beating, to the sun... At the end of the year, the beautiful youth had to go up by himself. He had to go up willingly. That was part of the deal.

Now she is shaking her head.

"Not everyone understands that that's the deal," she says.

Megan Fox will not go willingly to have her heart cut out.

and, just to drive home the "human sacrifices" theme:

American movies expressed that great fusion of sex and art, too. They are magnificent pagan dreams, utterly profane and glorious. Such movies need bombshells. They need to consume beautiful flesh in their sacrifices. They need women like Megan Fox.

The whole article almost reads as Fox literally attempting to "save herself" by consciously acknowledging the whole "sacrifice" theme -- and, in doing so, "protecting" herself from it. She also goes quite in detail about her dealings with the church -- using that newfound religious feeling to also protect her, its symbology literally lining her house as to keep the "demons" out:

On the way out, I notice something I hadn't seen on the way down. In the hallway sits a tall pedestal topped by a red-and-gold Byzantine icon of a crucified Christ and rows of white candles.

Or is it all, as I wondered before, just a pre-constructed narrative to make her seem "dramatic," reeling in believers in the "Hollywood Illuminati" as Tequila has done. Both Fox and Tequila initially sound as crazy as loons in their articles/posts, claiming some degree of spiritual enlightenment; Fox clearly describes what sounds like a Kundalini activation:

"It feels like a lot of energy coming through the top of your head — I'm going to sound like such a lunatic — and then your whole body is filled with this electric current."

On the other hand, is it possible that both Fox and Tequila have indeed reached some understanding of how they've been manipulated in their lives and how the "system" -- if there is indeed such a "system" -- works? And, as in the case of David Icke, does such a realization dovetail with the sort of "crazy" that only Kundalini/spiritual awakenings trigger off?

Well, at worst this is just another mass-media appropriation of conspiracy/esoteric themes. At best -- if "best" is the right word to use here -- maybe there's something a bit more going on. And by a "bit more," it might mean religiously-induced delusions, a massive Kundalini opening, a self-conscious declaration of "freedom" from various secret society/"MK" bugaboos...or all of the above, in a sort of simmering stew of "maybes".

Scared To Death: Doomsday Narratives Make People Snap

It seems as if our popular culture has been completely saturated with dystopian, "Doomsday" & disaster narratives and imagery. Two recent tragedies have been directly linked to this mentality: the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings, and the school stabbings in China.

We now know that Adam Lanza, the autistic child who killed 26 people last Friday, had a mom who was obsessed with "surviving" the apocalypse. From The Daily Mail:

"Friends and family portrayed Adam Lanza’s mother Nancy as a paranoid ‘survivalist’ who believed the world was on the verge of violent, economic collapse. She is reported to have been struggling to hold herself together and had been stockpiling food, water and guns in the large home she shared with her 20-year-old son in Connecticut.

Mrs Lanza, 52, was a ‘prepper’ – so called because they are preparing for a breakdown in civilised society – who apparently became obsessed with guns and taught Adam and his older brother, Ryan, how to shoot, even taking them to local ranges. That backfired horrifically on Friday when Adam Lanza began his killing spree by shooting his mother dead in bed."

Nancy Lanza: real-life "Doomsday Prepper"

A Chinese man who, on the same day, went to a nearby elementary school in Chenpeng village in Guangshan county and stabbed 23 children was also plagued with terrors about the "End of the World".
From HuffPo:

"A statement from the Guangshan county government said Monday that police would evaluate Min's psychological state, but that initial investigations found that he was strongly affected by "doomsday rumors."

We can blame the current insanity on the Mayan calendar and the 2012 prophesied date looming, but pop-culture -- and segments of the "New Age"/Evangelical movements -- have been heavily using the "Doomsday trope" for decades.

One of the most popular shows on TV is "The Walking Dead," which can be seen as a metaphor for a crumbling, economically-collapsed society in which one can only defend oneself from the "zombie hoardes" (refugees, the starving masses who might want your food, looters, Socialists) by using guns and setting up "forts".

Recent/upcoming movies such as "The Dark Knight Rises," "The Hunger Games," "Star Trek Into Darkness," "Oblivion," "Looper," "Total Recall," "Melancholia," "4:44 Last Day On Earth," "Red Dawn," "Resident Evil: Retribution," and others feature end-of-the world scenarios and/or horrible dystopian futures and/or striking disaster imagery.

From the Alex Jones video "2012 Doomsday Secrets Revealed"

There are a stunning array of Apocalypse theories presented on blogs and YouTube that syncretise all sorts of far-flung theories from widely disparate (and often contradictory) sources: a "melting pot" of the Book of Revelation, alien invasions, the Illuminati "New World Order" plot, Mayan culture, Native American folklore, channeled information, and more.

But by far the biggest culprit in the "scaring to death" of the world populace is the news media itself. I point to this Roger Ebert review on the movie "Elephant":

Let me tell you a story. The day after Columbine, I was interviewed for the Tom Brokaw news program. The reporter had been assigned a theory and was seeking sound bites to support it. "Wouldn't you say," she asked, "that killings like this are influenced by violent movies?" No, I said, I wouldn't say that. "But what about 'Basketball Diaries'?" she asked. "Doesn't that have a scene of a boy walking into a school with a machine gun?" The obscure 1995 Leonardo Di Caprio movie did indeed have a brief fantasy scene of that nature, I said, but the movie failed at the box office (it grossed only $2.5 million), and it's unlikely the Columbine killers saw it.

The reporter looked disappointed, so I offered her my theory. "Events like this," I said, "if they are influenced by anything, are influenced by news programs like your own. When an unbalanced kid walks into a school and starts shooting, it becomes a major media event. Cable news drops ordinary programming and goes around the clock with it. The story is assigned a logo and a theme song; these two kids were packaged as the Trench Coat Mafia. The message is clear to other disturbed kids around the country: If I shoot up my school, I can be famous. The TV will talk about nothing else but me. Experts will try to figure out what I was thinking. The kids and teachers at school will see they shouldn't have messed with me. I'll go out in a blaze of glory."

Even an end-of-the-world theory as ludicrous as that of Harold Camping's a few years ago got the "mega" media coverage treatment, with round-the-clock news coverage and front pages everywhere. Have you ever listened to Harold Camping's radio show? I have. How any major news organization can possibly feel his predictions were worthy of front-page status is beyond me. He sounds like a complete (albeit grandfatherly) loon.

But all these "Apocalypse" narratives keep the populace's energy in a fear-state, a pliable, nervous, continual vibration of helplessness and hunger. It keeps them from planning for the future, instead purchasing a whole lot of useless stuff. It keeps them from getting involved in their government and work towards societal change -- because what's the point, we all gonna die anyway? It keeps them attached to various gurus and leaders and "saviors," instead of believing in themselves. It keeps them buying guns. And, of course, it keeps them buying newspapers, tuning in, and glued to their computer browser.

"oh well in that case, I'm gonna need guns, lol whut"

Truth is: from a science standpoint, we've been long overdue for significant Earth Changes that would significantly impact the world as we know it (pole shift, Ice Age, solar flare, meteor strike, etc). The fact that they have not happened yet, I believe, is largely due to the massive power of the collective energy and intentions of the people of this planet. We "create" our world. We choose to live in fear and hate, or optimism and love. We choose to continue to work towards positive solutions and peace, or give up in a bit of despair and superstition.

Living in this state of perpetual fear of the sky crashing down on our heads -- it already robs us of precious life.

“...an optimistic mind-set finds dozens of possible solutions for every problem that the pessimist regards as incurable.” ― Robert Anton Wilson, "Cosmic Trigger"

2012 Thoughts

I did want to get in a comment or two about the "Mayan Apocalypse" looming swift over our heads.

I've been through two major "predicted" end-of-the-world dates, the first being Y2K and the second of course Mr. Harold Camping. These things are so silly that people literally count down the minutes and seconds towards the "end time," giving a rolling series of "whews!" across the globe as the world as they know it is miraculously still there.

The media has a lot to do with the hysteria over such predictions, though certainly our entertainment does a great job "seeding" the fear into us with dystopic visions for the entire family, from "Hunger Games" to "The Walking Dead." We are, in a way, "primed" to fear the worst. The result? A sense of helplessness and fatalism. An "enjoy life now" sort of mantra played over and over again in our subconscious, giving us "permission" to do any number of stupid things that will ultimately add up to our physical, mental, financial, and spiritual ruin.

The catchphrase of the moment is "YOLO" -- you only live once. It might as well be the catchphrase for this 2012 thing, a trademarked catchphrase for a largely marketed-out-of-whole cloth scenario. While I respect the opinions of some, like Terrence McKenna's "singularity" 2012 date and so on, it is clear to me that others have calculatingly used 2012 as a gimmick that launched a thousand ships.

This is not to say that I think it is possible that the world might end at some other date, though even the phrase "end of the world" is vague and unhelpful. Truth is, Earth has been literally overdue for some sort of massive wipe-out natural cataclysm for some time now -- in fact, it is a head-scratcher for some scientists why it hasn't happened yet.

Honestly, the fact that The End -- or rather, some sort of event that wipes out the world as we know it -- hasn't happened yet is very suspicious to me, as is our sudden rapid development in technology and (at least, for some) spiritual evolution since the turn of the century. In short, I believe that the reason things haven't "ended" yet is because we all (more or less) are literally keeping this solid reality around as a subconscious group effort. It is consensual reality practiced on a global scale -- with ever-increasing bits and pieces of us "popping off the grid" as we rise in consciousness.

And this "popping off the grid" is the true "Rapture." As more of us wake up to the true nature of existence, the consensual reality takes more and more of a "hit" -- weakening. And this scares the living hell out of people who have a "Nothing's Going To Change My World" attitude. That is their true "End of the World."

And so I see our current consensual reality as being "under attack" by this rising tide of new consciousness. Rather, people on the "losing" side of the evolutionary track (a track that up until recently has most been only about the physical/biological, but has now shifted to the spiritual) see this as an attack, as a herald of Doom. This fear is nakedly on display on Drudge Report on any given day.

And it is possible that 2012 marks the "tipping point," if you will. I can buy that.

What we really have to watch for are not these predicted doom dates, but the push-back from those who refuse to let go of the consensual reality they have known for so long. This push-back is everywhere, often using the poor, people of color, unions, women, and homosexuals as scapegoats.

But we have to defuse the push-back by not pushing back in return. We have to convert this negative energy into positive energy. That is literally our fucking mission at this point, and we each do it according to our special skills -- writing, blogging, social work, social activism, art, protests, journalism, movie-making, and a thousand little gestures and words sprinkled throughout our days.

Books of Revelations and tales of Mayan End-Times can have some interesting -- and even, to those who understand, valuable -- insights. But they are too easily used as electric prodding sticks to corral the masses.
