A Break
Ranting Hatter entitles himself to a blog break to give way to his first close attempt of finishing a romance-fiction novel. Will update this blogsite with the Journey of a Frustrated Author which would narrate the humble beginnings of the Ranting Hatter-- from writing a short story for the school paper at 6 to now finishing a novel dedicated entirely to his girlfriend. :)
I wish everyone the best... Thanks!!!! :D

The Last Airbender Begins...
A professor once shared, a film is not just a visual treat; not just a feast for the ever unsatisfied eyes. A film should be a full-meal-- and unless you embrace the totality, you never really watched it for what it was made after all. Remember, you paid not to criticize, but to enjoy.

Why Hay! Men! deserves a Hats Off.
"Hay! Men! Ang blog ng mga tunay na lalaki" receives a Hats Off from your Ranting Hatter.
With all the sexist remarks, claims of satirical humor, devaluation of women and the third gender, and simply showing the real man's identity, the blogsite remains to be what it has always been:
A Mirroring of Reality.
It serves as a playground for all green-minded men, and important to take note of, guys who just want to have fun. But the blog site is not a porn site... It is a site where men would realize the disgust it brings into one's mind when all the crazy and disrespectful ideas are collected into one pool of thought. Men may forever be blind, but the blog site is actually wounding the "man-ness" of man. It serves its purpose...
I continue to follow this blog site for the mere fact that everyday it is cool to see how the men in the Philippines devolves into such nothingness. :)
Bamboozled by a Flying Car
Well... Your Ranting Hatter thinks that they were just trying to bamboozle us with this kind of innovation. really, a flying car? It LOOKS LIKE A FLYING PLANE (REDUNDANCY OBSERVED)! Seriously, it won't survive the streets of New York or Manila! (Or Makati)... it looks much like rich people's private planes. :))
If someone creates the flying car that we have always imagined (no wings, just those noisy rocketship fumes making the car fly), then it's time to say 'thanks!" to the many films which represented the future as a time infested by flying automobiles...
Without it, it means one thing:
WE ARE STILL FREE TO IMAGINE AND DREAM THAT DAY WOULD COME.
(i personally don't want it to happen. Imagine what traffic rules we have to come up with... And we might have a flood of cases where these cars get to hit and run and kill pidgeons and other birds...)

TOY STORY 3
After 15 years, Disney and Pixar finally gave your Ranting Hatter (and everyone) a rabbithole leading back to Andy's world. There was not even a hint of doubt that our generation, those who have witnessed how Andy's toys came to life, waited for so long to see an appropriate ending. : )

Ranting Hatter in Wonderland Day 1
I was sucked into oblivion. The moment I woke up and realized that this is the day (let me do that again) THE DAY, I fell into the in-between of excitement and feAR. I KNEW I WAS A BIT TOO EARLY FOR THE TEN AM CALL TIME BUT I LEFT HOME EARLY ANYWAY. I was aiming for the avoidance of traffic. Having that mindset, i took a standing ovation bus ride to INSULAR BUILDING. When I got off the train, I felt the buildings of Makati crash on me.
OH NO. MAKATI'S EATEN ME ALIVE.
I continued to travel the inner digestive system of Makati. I walked by what it seemed to me as a passage to Wonderland. It was an underpass. When I got to the other side, I eventually arrived at the building where i will be working. DM9, here i come... I said.
And yes, I came. I've seen, finally, the voice that calls me Mr. Paul. He was the security personnel, and his name is Lawrence. He told me to wait for my co-intern, Rachel, before we would proceed to the interview with Miss Judy. Contrary to the blogs that I've stalked, DM9's walls aren't yellow... Well, at least the chairs in the lobby are. There's an orchestra of trophies that sang me a lullaby... it was a beautiful musical extravaganza--- it was telling me to dream about working in this place.
Rachel came in a bit late. once seated, Ms. Judy greeted us and gave us what seemed to me as a briefing. I landed on Accounts/ Copywriting while Rachel was forced to go to creatives... it was a dual partnership--- we're a team now. After a short tour, we were brought to the famous BATCAVE--- the official tambayan of DM9 Interns.
Work came early as Miss Isa from the Accounts told us that we are to work on competitive analyses due tomorrow. The twist of the day came: Rachel was summoned by another Wonderland, a land where she seemed to belong to... And so we had to tell Ms. Isa that your Ranting Hatter will be left alone--- and she said its not a problem... I would just be doing all 30 comp. analyses due the next morning... Good thing though, i did not have a laptop... So... wait... it's a bad thing, coz I have to bring home a bunch of homeworks. Imagine first day.
Frankly, I'm excited... I could dance and dance and dance like the Mad Hatter because of happiness. I mean, I could and i would make them TEA, even conduct a TEA PARTEA for them if they want to... I just wanna work. :D
Rachel and I went out for lunch and i insisted we go to GB1 because my girl is there... I'd like to steal a kiss and a hug... So we went there and met my girl... Afterwards, we bought meals from KFC and decided we eat at the pantry of our office instead... But it was really an awkward thing to do... We felt like ants... :))
Later on, Rachel and I went back to the cave. Sooner than expected, Rachel was dismissed since she will no longer work in DM9... I soon had an opportunity to work. The people from DM9 worked it out so that I could work on a laptop...
the toil begins. :D
at 14:43, I started working.
at 14:56, I really started working...
at 16:40, it's break time.
at 18:32, I stopped... I've accomplished 13 c.a. by then.
at 18:38, i started working again.
at 19:20, I worked... worked... worked...
went home at around 20:45. Worked hard to finish 7 remaining c.a.s...

HATS OFF TO THE NEW PRESIDENT
The Ranting Hatter followed the journey of the President-Elect from the death of his mother, Corazon Aquino, to his Proclamation. This post will be devoted on the appraisal of Noynoy Aquino's first press conference as President of the Philippines.
To the 15 million Filipinos, Noynoy was worthy of winning the election. These 15 million, considered majority, believed that Noynoy Aquino possessed all the requirements for the country's next President, or more so, Savior. GMA's talons and solons have disposed the country's dignity in exchange of selfish gains. Noynoy was seen by 15 million Filipinos as the ultimate solution to respond to the problem that is the Arroyo Administration.
To the rest of the voting population, considered even a vast majority as compared to the minimum 15 million, Noynoy Aquino will be a failure.
Then the proclamation happened. Then Noynoy Aquino had his PRESS CONFERENCE.
And there, right at the brink of the cup that is held by so many journalists and cameras, Noynoy Aquino proved his worth.
President Aquino faced the world with dignity, honesty, and wit. It is not a surprise for the 15 million Filipinos--- they voted for Noynoy because they've seen and heard this before. But for the many Anti-Noynoy or Pro-others, the press conference has to prove something. It should make them realize that THE BEST THING TO DO IN THIS TRANSITION FILLED WITH HOPE AND PRAYERS, is to actually TRUST NOYNOY AQUINO JUST LIKE HOW THE 15 MILLION PEOPLE DO.
We saw formidable solutions laid down on the table. We heard a steadfast and direct answer filled with no hints of politicking. We witnessed the new President as he honestly connected to the journalists from all over the world.
Some of the answers that impressed the Ranting Hatter were these:
"No. Definitely he will not be the AFP Chief." - on General Delfin Bangit
"Our first task is to identify the problems. How could we make solutions if we don't know what the REAL problems are?" - on his first agenda as President
"I'd hand you a list of our platforms. Your question will be answered by that. but in any case, I'll give you few." -on a question challenging his plans for the mahihirap, which was followed by:
a) a push for a tie-up between TESDA and Dep-Ed to provide solution to the youth who do not like to go to college anymore. When they graduate HS, they must be able to find a job. So TESDA will take care of it.
b) PHILHEALTH- let's make it a hundred percent coverage.
We had an impressive first glance on the new President.
To the cynical few, the bitter Gordon and Gibonatics, or the Losers like Jamby and JC, it's time to reconsider. There we had a good president ready to assume the post. Keep the faith.
And so, to the new president, the Ranting Hatter is excited to see what you will bring upon us.
Note that the Ranting Hatter will keep an eye on you. Support will be given. Protection from Gonzales' Shadow Cabinet will be given. But take this in: You give us what we all expect from a President that is, at this point in time, an epitome of HOPE.
Pilipinas Got Talent
Continuing the legacy of Got Talent Franchise, we get to realize once again that LOOKS matter in contests that do not really value the talent. Jovit may not be the marketable dude in the competition, but the many fans who believed he should make it to the top brought the victory to this simple and talented dude.
THE RANTING HATTER TAKES HIS HAT OFF for Jovit Baldivino.
(He shares with the PGT Champion's victory since the Ranting Hatter spent 7.50 for voting Jovit) hehehehehe. :D

Of Music, Pop Stars, and Satanism: Part3
The Ranting Hatter is deeply interested with the rise of the issue regarding the Illuminati and the Pop Stars. The interest lead me to searching the source, and we arrive at the vigilantcitizen's site.
The Ranting Hatter was not able to include in the series the explanations on Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, and Disney Movies. But all pertinent information can be read on the site.
Let the Throwing of the Spears begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPEAR NUMBER ONE: ON GAGA
The Ranting Hatter does not need any guidance from the vigilant citizen to assure the allegations on Lady Gaga. Her enigma, her mystery, the violence in her videos, her sexual connotations, everything about her---- everything makes it too obvious that Lady Gaga is not the usual Pop Icon. She's not the usual HUMAN. She appears to be controlled, and i don't care if it's by the Illuminati. It could be drugs, or fame, or fortune. It could be many other things, but let the spear go straight to Gaga's sleeve. Let's pin her on the wall and say,
"We gotcha, and if you're evil and all, keep on singing... Your music serves a lot of people... We need them on the dance floor."
Yes, The Ranting Hatter believes that no matter what truth there is in the allegations, there is no doubt that the Lady's music fits the crowd today. Truth is, while any vigilant citizen could say all those horrid stuff about Gaga, everything becomes a PUBLICITY, a narration of how a celebrity climbs up the ladder of success with all those kinds of issues.
Let Gaga be Gaga. We all have a choice, right?
And this leads us to point number two:
TEN THOUSAND SPEARS CAST TO THE VIGILANT CITIZEN:
The Ranting Hatter's fiery opinion:
"Are you really for world peace and change? Because I look at your assumptions and read on the many write-ups that you've had and I think... That maybe, you lack something here and there. Either you lost an opportunity to be great, or you wanted to be great. I am deeply enthralled by all the stuff that you are doing. i swear, you've made some incredible observations... And I believe you, yes, I do. But I don't really care."
You see, I have faith in Christ. I hold on to that faith. But I keep an open mind, and this is something that a lot of the judge-mental Christians lack. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to just let it be. Information have been cast. The bible is everywhere. Christians are everywhere. Do you really believe that we are fixing this world by pointing our fingers out and saying that these people do not deserve our patronization because they're devils' advocates?
I dance with their music. I listen. I see violence and sexual exploits. I hear lyrics that are promoting sex and more and more of it. I see the reality. I am the Ranting Hatter. And that is definitely why this thing would not matter--- The world is changing. Now people have their own choices to make. We are free to make the choices clear, but we cannot dictate whether they should or should not believe the accusations.
REGARDING THE INTERPRETATIONS
The Music Video Interpretations from the site are great... But As an artist, a Production Staff, and a Director, i should say those assumptions are self-based.
I've directed Roots of Nature's video for Baby One More Time. I could twist my angles and say that those things mean something... The darkness, the chaos, the rebels... And anyone can assume that...
But WOULD YOU CARE ABOUT THE VIDEO'S REAL DEPICTION? For all I know, the video's concept was made through a group effort with Rachel Mutia, Ken Chavez, and Kim Espinosa. Never did we think that we could associate Satanism in the video, but then again, anyone can assume...
It's the same thing when it comes to the interpretations of the vigilant citizen. I am laughing at the interpretations on UMBRELLA and SWEET DREAMS.
I was laughing at the comments made about Paramore. The site manager actually seemed to have lost a pertinent information--- The Paramore being a Christian band... Funny.
However, having seen the defense of the vigilant citizen, such as this (he or she closes with these kinds of defenses to protect him or her from the rants of people like me)
So with that in mind I keep asking myself: Why do we use symbolism and triggers associated with mind control in videos aimed at the young people? They are totally oblivious to the reality of Monarch programming, so why do we expose them to it? After realizing that the group has adopted some of the Illuminati symbolism discussed in previous articles, the answer became very clear: They are part of the System, with a capital “S”. This System hypnotically conditions people to accept mind control as part of their daily lives and the trend is becoming increasingly apparent. I can already hear the naysayers saying “nay” to everything and finding ways to rationalize everything that has been discussed here. Maybe they should ponder on those words:
“Even as he dances to the tune of the elite managers of human behavior, the modern man scoffs with a great derision at the idea of the existence and operation of a technology of mass mind control emanating from media and government. Modern man is much too smart to believe anything as superstitious as that!
Modern man is the ideal hypnotic subject: puffed up on the idea that he is the crown of creation, he vehemently denies the power of the hypnotist’s control over him as his head bobs up and down on a string.”
-Michael A. Hoffman II, Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare
So the Ranting Hatter gives the Vigilant Citizen the right to do what he loves to do...
IN as much as I am also doing what I want to do.
The Ranting Hatter is based on the character the Mad Hatter. It is part of Alice in Wonderland but made prominence in Through the Looking Glass. The Ranting Hatter Bamboozles the Dumb, but in everything I do, I clearly suggest the shining point of REALITY. It is something that should come to the Vigilant Citizen as well.
And so, we close this series with this:
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT NOT TO BECOME TOO PARANOID OVER ALL THESE STUFF.
I don't know. I'm allergic to these kinds of things. Why should we make a big deal out of these?
It pays to be vigilant and observant. We don't really need symbolisms to know that the media today is open to inviting people to "sin more". But then again, the hell with whatever the media is doing. Have we thought about what we are doing? Coz I can always quote this:
Let those who have not sinned cast the first stone.
We may be so quick to judge. We may, at times, be a little over-reacting. We may express things in any way we want to. Actually, we may sin if we do want to. Everything, as the Ranting Hatter always suggest, is dependent on the choices we make.
While it deals with a very important matter with regards to spirituality, let us all think that the media today is indeed doind mind control tactics. That's what we do. As a Multimedia Artist, I could say that I'm doing nothing wrong even if I depict stuff that disturb the paranoid faith of people like the Vigilant Citizen.
It's the art of expression. it's becoming Real. It's not being hypocrite.
It's a total mind control that is not specifically done to control--- the effects are all up to the receivers.
Of Music, Pop Stars, and Satanism: Part2.2
ROOM NUMBER 4: RIHANNA
Rihanna had a change of identity which we can all attest to. She didn't really start that strong, with her hit single Unfaithful. Towards the developments to her career, we see her change looks and change songs. The site that we are referencing to made an analysis of Rihanna's UMBRELLA. According to the site, http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=175 the song and the video is a narrative of demon possession and was filled with a lot of Illuminati symbols.
Now, all the analysis are geared towards pointing out that Rihanna is an Illuminati Puppet. Here's the pictures regarding UMBRELLA.
Rihanna, according to the site, was "raped by the devil' in this shot, and is symbolized by the chrome-colored fluid on her body that depicts the devil's semen.
In another page, the site analyzes Rihanna's Russian Roulette.
http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2806
We are directed towards seeing Rihanna with the same poses as that of Lady Gaga--- the one-eyed shot that resembles the All-Seeing Eye that can be traced down to Egyptian Civilizations.
The analysis of the Russian Roulette Video includes these statements:
The premise of the video is Rihanna being locked in a padded room while a man dressed in an army-type uniform – her handler — is manipulating her thoughts through high-tech devices. The video is in fact depicting mind control and Monarch programming in a stylized and aesthetic way. The handler is using his gadgets to make Rihanna hallucinate traumatizing events in order to break her spirit and re-build her. Many key elements of this sadistic practice (which is acknowledged in CIA documents) are portrayed in the video.
ROOM NUMBER 5: PARAMORE
http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2917
it started as an analysis of Brick By Boring Brick. The site says that the song is blatantly defining what slavery and fantasy plays in the world of Monarch Programming. The direct use of the Monarch Butterfly in the video suggests a close similarity to the realms of Monarch Programming. The whole narrative of the video defines the process of the Monarch.
Furthermore, Paramore actually had shots where the One Eye is significant.
SO... AFTER ALL THESE THINGS, THE RANTING HATTER SHALL CONCLUDE THE SERIES WITH HIS SPEARS AND HATS CAST OFF. :)
The Vigilant Citizen has evidences, but are we to rely on his assumptions?
We Haven't heard from the Icons...
We haven't heard from the fans...
So... Will the Ranting Hatter be quick to judge? hmmmm... :)
Of Music, Pop Stars, and Satanism: Part2.1
As promised, we'll be talking about the accusations to the pop stars. I won't have my opinions attached in any of the facts that will be posted in this part. This is Part 2.1, and we reach Lady Gaga and Beyonce. Rihanna and the rest follows in the next blogs. No opinions will be made here that will make the Ranting Hatter appear to be biased. The Ranting Hatter shall reserve the opinions for the third Part of this series.
ROOM NUMBER 1: VIGILANT CITIZEN
So... Here we see someone named Vigilant Citizen making all the necessary observations to conclude the association of the pop stars to project Monarch or to MIND CONTROL. The person behind Vigilant Citizen is probably more aged and experienced as compared to the person behind the Ranting Hatter.
In his Read This First page, he pulls out an exemplary narration of how Mass Media uses the Mind Control Techniques. He concludes the page with this:
This article examined the major thinkers in the field of mass media, the media power structure and the techniques used to manipulate the masses. I believe this information is vital to the understanding of the “why” in the topics discussed on The Vigilant Citizen. The “mass population” versus “ruling class” dichotomy described in many articles is not a “conspiracy theory” (again, I hate that term), but a reality that has been clearly stated in the works of some of the 20th century’s most influential men.
Lippmann, Bernays and Lasswell have all declared that the public are not fit to decide their own fate, which is the inherent goal of democracy. Instead, they called for a cryptocracy, a hidden government, a ruling class in charge of the “bewildered herd.” As their ideas continue to be applied to society, it is increasingly apparent that an ignorant population is not an obstacle that the rulers must deal with: It is something that is DESIRABLE and, indeed, necessary, to insure total leadership. An ignorant population does not know its rights, does not seek a greater understanding of issues and does not question authorities. It simply follows trends. Popular culture caters to and nurtures ignorance by continually serving up brain-numbing entertainment and spotlighting degenerate celebrities to be idolized. Many people ask me: “Is there a way to stop this?” Yes, there is. STOP BUYING THEIR CRAP AND READ A BOOK.
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.”
- Thomas Jefferson
The Vigilant Citizen describes his character as having an education that was "perfect to hold a job in marketing or PR, but did not satisfy my thirst for truth". He says he is also a music producer. He says he wants to "open the world's eye". he is up for exploring the world's secret societies.
ROOM NUMBER 2: LADY GAGA
http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1676
The Icon most blatantly hit by the site is Lady Gaga. The Vigilant Citizen describes Lady Gaga as the Illuminati Puppet. It provided necessary observations that are pointing to Lady Gaga's involvement to the Project Monarch which we have discussed in this site in the previous post. It started off with Lady Gaga's name, then to her logo, then of course, to her music videos.
The Ranting Hatter will not state all the observations, but I will take note of some on the Vigilant Citizen's list:
- Lady Gaga's Gaga name is directed to the meaning of a lighthearted silliness
- Lady Gaga's logo bears the symbolism of a Thunderbolt
- Lady Gaga loved the All-Seeing Eye Symbolism (you can see it in her videos)
- Mickey Mouse Shades hinting the Monarch Programming
The site furthers the unending proof-laying with pictures of Lady Gaga being electrocuted. It also interprets Lady Gaga songs and associates it with the meaning of being led to a certain point similar to the process of the Monarch Programming.
She is followed by Beyonce, who was listed there upon due to her alter-ego Sasha Fierce.
ROOM NUMBER 3: BEYONCE AND SASHA FIERCE
http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=604
Beyonce was quoted in many instances as having been influenced by external forces during her stage performances as Sasha Fierce.
Her SWEET DREAMS are also interpreted as Monarch Programming Insinuations:
- Monarch treatment gives a feeling of “light-headeness, as if one is floating”
- It engenders a new creation, an alternate personality
- The victim sees his controller as “god”
- Dark occult rituals are involved in the process
- Symbols relating to Monarch programming involve mirrors, glass shattering, rainbows, robots and more.
Next, We'll look at Rihanna and others...
But let me ask you... Is this all making sense?
Do you believe they are Satanic? Possessed? Keep your thoughts and Faith intact. :)
we're coming up with more...
And of course, the Ranting Hatter throws either a spear or his hat... We have yet to find out. :)
Of Music, Pop Stars, and Satanism: Part1
http://rantinghatter.blogspot.com/2010/05/of-music-pop-stars-and-satanism-not-new.html
In this part, The Ranting Hatter will take you to the backstage. In order for you to develop your own philosophy, you have to see what is behind the curtains... What is behind the stage on which we see Public Icons get accused of the worst things in this world.
STEP 1: Understanding the MKULTRA
Let it be known that the accusations towards people like Lady Gaga and Beyonce delve on the facts regarding the Monarch Programming (which you can read about through this link http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2153). For continuous reading, let me provide some pertinent information regarding the said project:
Project MKULTRA, or MK-ULTRA, was the code name for a covert, illegal CIA human research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence. This official U.S. government program began in the early 1950s, continuing at least through the late 1960s, and it used United States and Canadian citizens as its test subjects. (^ Richelson, JT (ed.) (2001-09-10). "Science, Technology and the CIA: A National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book". George Washington University. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB54/. Retrieved 2009-06-12.).
Project MKULTRA was first brought to wide public attention in 1975 by the U.S. Congress, through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKULTRA files destroyed in 1973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number of documents that survived Helms' destruction order.
There are official death accounts that could be looked upon through the internet pertaining to the victims of this experimentation. But this off the hook. Or off my hat, I should say.
Step 2: Understanding the Transition to Project Monarch
Project Monarch, according to research by Ron Patton, is described as such:
The name MONARCH is not necessarily defined within the context of royal nobility, but rather refers to the monarch butterfly.
When a person is undergoing trauma induced by electroshock, a feeling of light-headedness is evidenced; as if one is floating or fluttering like a butterfly. There is also a symbolic representation pertaining to the transformation or metamorphosis of this beautiful insect: from a caterpillar to a cocoon (dormancy, inactivity), to a butterfly (new creation) which will return to its point of origin. Such is the migratory pattern that makes this species unique.
Occult Symbolism, Gnostic Art, and yes, Satanism, are associated with the project because it resembles the feeling of submitting to a certain authority and becoming a puppet to a controller.
Step 3: Symbolism to Satanism
Now, in the process of reeducating the people treated with Project Monarch, they are exposed to numerous symbolic representations and movies depicting such. through researching this topic you'd find out movies like Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland (OOOOOPS, IT SUDDENLY BECAME FAMILIAR TO ME... I'M A WONDERLAND CHARACTER!) are also part of the "treatment".
Carl Teichrib defines it as:
Symbols are employed as tools to communicate the spiritual attributes of the New Age movement and the occult. And while most of these symbols are many centuries old, their meanings have remained the same. In fact, as the public extension of ancient occult teachings, the New Age movement has placed mystical symbolism squarely in the face of our modern culture.
What makes this especially disturbing is that while the "marks" of occultism can be found throughout society, yet we no longer recognize their spiritual implications. However, just because the average person doesn’t know the meaning of occult symbols, it in no way negates their significance. As Manly P. Hall stated, "They are centers of a mighty force, figures pregnant with an awful power…."
Occult symbols have never lost their meaning. Today, New Agers and practitioners of the occult still employ their use, just as mystics have throughout the ages.
Symbols involve:
Of course, the Monarch Butterfly...
and the following will be surprises:
Lightning Bolts (take note, this will be related to Lady G)-
if fashioned to the Sig Rune, the bolts depict Norse and Teutonic cultures that are pertained to have ascribed from such the powers of mystic, magic, and divination.
The Owl (Bohemian Club, have you heard of them?)
Ask President Bush a dozen of other influential CEOs. The central symbol of the club is an owl, depicting wisdom and spiritual associations.
Pentacles and Pentagrams
Pentacles are "good" according to these occults. However, we go deep down towards this symbol that we should all be able to remember because this will be associated to the POP ICONS that we know of.
f. All-Seeing Eye and BaphometAccording to The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary, the pentagram is the "most powerful symbol of all ceremonial rites…" [this encyclopedia correctly views pentacles as a form of pentagram]. The Encyclopedia ascribed to this symbol the powers of active and passive spiritual "shielding," the "five wounds of Christ," and the notification of "etheric world intelligences."
Eliphas Levi, one of the most influential magicians of the 1800’s, wrote in his massive volume on transcendental magic,Dangerous, dangerous stuff. Even the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, in discussing the "Ritual of the Pentagram" (the up-right version) warns against making the mistake of employing the upside-down star, "See that thou doest it not" (italics in original). No wonder Helena Blavatsky, mother of the New Age, wrote in her book, Studies in Occultism, "there are secrets that kill in the arcana of Occultism…" (italics in original). It may seem strange that prominent occultists and occult societies would sound caution when using certain symbols. But understand, these men and women have seen and experienced powerful supernatural forces. And they are in bondage to them."The Pentagram signifies the domination of the mind over the elements, and the demons of air, the spirits of fire, the phantoms of water and ghosts of earth are enchained by this sign. Equipped therewith, and suitably disposed, you may behold the infinite through the medium of that faculty which is like the soul’s eye, and you will be ministered unto by legions of angels and hosts of fiends."
Going deeper yet, the upside-down star/pentagram has long been recognized as the symbol of Satan. Anton LaVey, author of the Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals, lavishly used this symbol in his ceremonies and rituals–most often depicted as the "goat’s head."
ALL-SEEING-EYE (also known as the Eye of Osiris. Here it's placed in the center of the sun)This universal symbol is easily traced back to the mystery religions of Egypt and Greece. It represents insight into the occult through spiritual illumination, inner vision, and wisdom as dispersed by the Sun deity, which is gained through initiation into its rites.
The all-seeing-eye on the one dollar bill is just one example of the use of this symbol (and yes, the context of its use on the dollar is based on the mystery religions). Note that the examples given all have the eye in a pyramid. While this is common, it is not the only form this symbol takes. At times the eye will have light radiating from it and/or clouds surrounding it.
and this leads us to Baphomet, the Goat Star of Mendes.
Primarily viewed as the goat’s head inside an inverted pentagram (the pentagram will be discussed in a future article), Baphomet is a representation of Lucifer and his dark powers. The image below of a goat head shaped into the form of a pentagram was taken from a copy of The Satanic Bible. The composite drawing of Baphomet, with the power to control white and black magic (one hand pointing to the white moon, the other to the dark) is probably the most famous image of this beast. It was designed by the master occultist Eliphas Levi and is found in his book Transcendental Magic. Occultists regard this composite as sacred.
In the next Part, the Ranting Hatter will focus on the accusations directed to Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyonce, Paramore, and other Pop Icons.
The Ranting Hatter reserves his opinions regarding the matter until all sides are strongly established.
Of Music, Pop Stars, and Satanism: Not New
The Ranting Hatter starts off by saying: WHAT'S NEW?
I grew up in a Baptist family. Back in the old days, my mom was always freaked out by the various cartoon shows that instill, according to her books and according to pastors, satanic and un-Christian values. Funny how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Care Bears, and a dozen of other TV shows were deemed to be not child-friendly--- you could just imagine what kind of a home it was.
And then we went to a lighter church... a more open one... And things became consistent. We had, for discussions, backmasked music like Macarena, Asereje, and the like. What's famous is evil, and what's evil is forbidden.
Things never changed. Until now, we hear different issues regarding the involvement of Pop Icons and Pop Shows with Satanism and bashing of religious beliefs. We've had JK Rowling and her Harry Potter world which was, although I finished all seven books, previously was forbidden in our house. We've had Michael Jackson, Beatles, Rappers and Spice Girls as "bad guys and girls".
And now, we have Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyonce, Paramore, and a lot of other celebrities who are thought of and accused to be members of a secret society.
This three part blog series is dedicated to such. We will be using, as a platform, http://vigilantcitizen.com who presented all the evidences regarding the accusations. The Ranting Hatter will also research and provide necessary information along the way.
We aim to see what these pop stars are accused of, what Ranting Hatter has to say, and what are the things expected from us to do regardless of religion and social state of being.
Let the Blogging Tea Party begin.

RANTING HATTER IS FURIOUS!!!!
Wawa-What Happened?
So MTB was axed. It was a painful hit to Willie's character.
And then, while humility has not sank on him yet, we saw him again in the noontime show Wowowee. had it been named to tailor-fit him? I don't care. What matters most is that it changed the whole situation in noontime viewing. Eat Bulaga has been bulaga-ed. we saw how this show was maneuvered by Pappi, or Will, as he sang and gave money to people, promising quick earnings for doing shameful things... Pure Katuwaan, People Pagtatawanan. And then he claims that Wowowee is the show for the people.
And then the Wowowee stampede happened... And he lost his ground...
He stood up again, with support coming from ABS-CBN and Noli de Castro.
After years of lamentations, Willie was back to what he was... or what he always is.
He made friends with businessmen and became an endorser. He became too rich than he filled his mind with too much bills and coins. And then he forgot that he was an employee... Soon, Willie was dictating ABS-CBN on-air. He was making decisions for ABS. He was driving the show to Williedom.
The latest incident? Well. He reacted in such a way that he showed how untrue his statements were in a Manny Villar Ad.
Now, Willie is being replaced. He is being ousted out of his own show... Lucky him, he did not get an EDSA Revolution out of this. What he got, however, is a Robin Padilla. The Philippines' Bad Boy can be loved by the masses in no time. He's becoming at ease in driving the show to success.
Oh my. What a relief. it's always fun to watch Wowowee whenever Willie is ABSENT.
Willie is, by far, the worst treasure of Philippine Showbiz. When he makes him comeback (that is, if he will not listen to people's voices) everything will surely make sense... he'd feel the worst feeling of regret, guilt, and desperation. :D
BECAUSE OF WHAT WILLIE IS, THE RANTING HATTER IS THROWING OUT TEN FAUCERWRACKSPURTING SPEARS TO THIS FRILLIGOUS BIGEROUS TANTANARMOUS WRETCHEDMOUS SELFISHMOUS (hatter!) (oops... i'm sorry) STUPID WOWOWEE HOST. :)

Noy the Movie
Riveting. Unexpected. How they did it was... superb. Compelling. Real.
COULD YOU BELIEVE IT? THERE'S A NOY THE MOVIE. AND THE BIDA IS NOT NOYNOY AQUINO. HE'S ONLY A SUPPORT.
Coco Martin bedazzles... or more so, directly makes the best out of his existence as the one and only indie film king. In this film, he plays Noy, someone who pretended to be a journalist and was set to follow the other Noy and make a story out of the latter's bid for presidency.
It was groundbreaking. Could they have predicted what Noynoy would become? Why was the film created with such a dual personality--- one, real, the other, fictitious, and be able to mirror out the reality of poverty and problematic family set-ups in the country? it is exciting to discover if this would support Noynoy's upcoming rule... Or maybe, it could serve as a warning to Noynoy.
The concept is... superb... chilling... the trailer? champion. the cast? extravagant.
This excites the Ranting Hatter. We should see this movie. At least I should.
If you ain't liking Noy Aquino or his lead for the presidency, then keep your bitterness to yourself (and probably get poisoned by it). :)
this is something to watch out for. :D

Reviving the Ranting Hatter
The Ranting Hatter had gone into deep studying and in addition to that, deep thinking. Reforms have been done both in the interior and exterior self. These will all reflect in the new age of the Ranting Hatter...
So what to expect?
First, the blog about Willie Revillame.
Next, blogs about the elections...
And lastly, more deep thoughts and less anger. :) The Ranting Hatter finds no error in ranting, but of course, we have to do more than just ranting...
SENSE. A DOZEN OF IT. COMING UP... SOON.
