From Genesis To Revelations: Prog-Rock Illuminati

I've become very attracted to the music of the 70s prog-rock/80s pop rock band Genesis. I grew up a fan of the solo careers of Genesis's 2 lead singers Peter Gabriel & Phil Collins. Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" is the most played music video in MTV history and Collins was an even bigger mainstay on pop radio from the early 80s to mid 90s. To be so successful in mainstream media raises red flags about how compromised their political content might be.  MTV (often called "Masonic TV") and corporate media wouldn't promote anyone whose worldview conflicts with their own globalist, secular new world order.

Phil Collins seems the most obvious suspect because he's often blamed for the band's "selling out" to more commercial and simple pop ballads for the masses. But there's a strong humanitarian thread to his era of Genesis as well as his solo career. 

Collins became a champion of Britain's right wing years ago from a tabloid reporting Collins left England because of the Labour Party's taxing of the rich. Collins has since claimed this is untrue and that he's not a conservative. And in the internet age, Collins repeatedly gets labeled a Freemason perhaps from this anti-Labour Party label and the lyrics of certain Genesis songs. So I investigated a bit and found actual Freemasons questioning his membership:

The misquote is from a Genesis song that Collins didn't even write.

"I'm going to be fair to TheFreemasonForum and admit that I have not found any positive evidence to support that Phil Collins is a mason, I had heard that my entire masonic career but it appears it may not be factual."
"BS alert Phil Collins is not a Freemason."

"You know, it really ticks me off when people say, "X [is/isn't] a Freemason," without citing a source, and it make me especially grumpy to see it happen in response to the counter-claim with (itself) no sources!

So, here is one source (which may or may not be valid, but at least it's a start):

• Phil Collins - Soho Lodge #3 " 
  

"Well how do you think I feel when people with absolutely no evidence and without bothering to investigate claim people as Freemasons who are not.

Case in point Phil Collins allegedly a member of an English Lodge called Soho Lodge No.3. Just one small problem with that story is we (UGLE) do not have a Soho Lodge No.3. Lodge No.3 is called the Lodge of Fidelity."

These 2 images of a much older Collins using the Masonic "666" hand sign is the most damning evidence I can find but we know these could be innocent A-OK signs used for off-camera technicians or something. Collins is actually one of the few Genesis members to come from a working class background. As his fame and fortune increased, its possible he joined English fraternities and secret societies for more power. But it seems less likely that Collins would be as interested as other Genesis members.

"Keep it Dark" is the earliest Genesis song I can see having meanings that are Illuminati, Masonic or globalist, but the lyrics are written by keyboardist Tony Banks. The song's narrator details being abducted by aliens and shown a world with giant "cities of light" full of peace and free from war. But then he is brought back to the present and told to "keep it dark" because no one will believe him. On face value (the name of Collins' first solo album), this song is about alien abduction and a futuristic utopia but its themes are being initiated by the makers of this great future and sworn to secrecy to protect it. Banks is an avid sci-fi fan who cites Arthu C. Clarke as an influence. Thats not so suspicious but Clarke (a pedophile) wrote in "Childhood's End" about a future utopia where religion is destroyed and society is ruled by a communistic and Luciferian new world order where children are raised by the state instead of their parents. I haven't read this book and there's a debate whether Clarke is for or against this outcome, but he clearly knew there was a real agenda making it happen and Banks no doubt has read this novel.

"Land of Confusion" is a famous song about revolution overthrowing the warlike establishment if it doesn't evolve. The lyrics are by Mike Rutherford, the band's bassist and rhythm guitarist who was raised by a strict military father he clashed with ideologically. Banks, Rutherford & Gabriel met in a British "public school" (equivalent to American private schools) where they were outsiders and most of their classmates were groomed for business or government work. Genesis seem to be unapologetically loyal to their middle class roots and share many of the same cultural sentiments but have more sympathy for minorities and the poor, because of popular American music. They defend these groups but usually while appealing to the upper class for change. They are not leftwing revolutionaries; more progressive liberals.

This video is disparaging of the Bohemian Grove president Reagan and his geopolitics against communists and Muslim leaders. But the lyrics are very ambiguous and unnerving. "There's too many men/ Too many people/ Making too many problems/ And not enough love to go around". Its easy to read a eugenicist meaning there. Even while criticizing the elite, it uses their own conservative language. There's a very cold, defeatist, utilitarian outlook, "These are the hands we're given/ Use them and lets start building/ A world worth living in". Speaking to both the left & the right, the poor & the rich - Rutherford wants a compromise. He fails to see the exploitation of the poor by the rich and trusts the rich to do whats right out of their own self-preservation, not out of moral duty or fairness.

"Way of the World" is another track by Mike Rutherford. Its another track about anti-war song calling for a world peace of political centrism. Again the lyrics are very ambiguous. "There's weak and there's strong" "Thats how its meant to be". Very dog-eat-dog and capitalist view of human nature. Rutherford sees capitalism as a necessary evil and the disparity of classes as unavoidable and natural. This is one of my least favorite track by them for obvious reasons. And here's Collins and Banks going along with the song's lyrics.

And yet here's a very different sentiment on the same album, the group's last with this trio line-up. Collins writes a song about starvation, poverty & war and, unlike Rutherford's extremely callous neocon view, Collins is way more empathetic and directly questions his apathy and defeatism. He blames politicians for only profiting themselves and presumably the upper class listeners of the song for doing nothing like the God they don't believe in. 

Now on to Peter Gabriel.

The video for "Big Time" is one overtly critical of Big Business, materialism & globalization showing a a small town man selling out to the religion of the All-Seeing Eye. While in Genesis, Gabriel included many occult references and was highly critical of capitalism's effect on indigenous people and national cultures. After he left, Gabriel became a big champion of world music with his own festivals and record labels supporting artists globally. He's also been a big humanitarian and criticized Israel's occupation of Palestine, pushing for a two-state solution.

Peter Gabriel's first wife was the daughter of a man who became a Lord and private secretary to the Queen just years before Gabriel divorced her. More than anyone in Genesis he seems familiar with the attitudes and geopolitical goals of England's elite - globalism, corporatism, Eurocentric white supremacy. As a middle-class pacifist, Gabriel seems distressed by the reality of things and chooses to expose the elites rather than join them or encourage any revolution or violence towards them. He's aware and not actively colluding with their agenda but keeps silent to protect himself.

At 23:51, Gabriel discusses the symbolism of foxes as "the hunted" and how it ties into numerology with "FOX" = 666. Christian theology and gnosticism figures into early Genesis a lot, mainly as metaphors like "New Jerusalem" as a broader return to glory for humanity. 

 I think its logical to surmise Gabriel probably led the other members of Genesis to the same conclusions and occult knowledge of UK's elites. Phil Collins shares Gabriel's more humanitarian and egalitarian suspicions of a New World Order while Rutherford's conservative, militaristic and capitalistic upbringing makes him more trusting of the plan. They all know its happening and more or less agree that its unfair but for the ultimate good of humanity. None of them seem privy to the more Satanic elements. Like typical "porch" Masons, they think they're on the side of European white male "Manifest Destiny" civilizing the world for everyone's benefit. This is what most Neoliberals and Neocons believe. They don't realize the more ancient and occult goals of Satanic bloodlines to create a Luciferian world government enslaving the masses through Zionist world wars to depopulate and control them for the authority of the richest few. Their mid-20th century rightwing education kept them away from the revolutionary utopianism of socialism or communism. Taking their name from the Bible, their loyalty is to utopia by the Zionist
means of Revelations, Armageddon and a Messianic Age.

Its unfortunate but not at all surprising. They are typical British petit bourgeois intellectuals vastly more progressive than their parents' generation but far from the radical anti-racism & anti-elitism needed in art and politics right now. But their post-hippie British middle class liberalism was important and extremely influential in raising awareness for lower class issues in Europe, America and the 3rd world. They ultimately play both sides of the game, trying to keep peace while the rich minority prey on the poor majority. It comes from the "apolitical" rightwing "centrism" many artists have by not engaging with politics.

Genesis are the ultimate middle class band promoting multiculturalism, peace & liberal capitalism out of naive ignorance & timid self-preservation but not malice. I think they stand for good things like equality, democracy & progress; they've just all been sold a lie how to get there. Their aversion to more leftwing and independent thought is why Gabriel left the band, Collins later and the group today is not more respected or functioning despite being perhaps the most collectively talented and intelligent popular band ever.

I'd love for them to collaborate with Peter Gabriel before any of the founding members die just to see where their worldview is now that we've seen 15 year economic recessions, Zionist wars, pandemics, race riots, fascist and socialist uprisings. They knew these things would come to pass and thats why they wanted wealth to survive them. But they must see how misguided and naive the liberal fantasies of their youth were. Not so much their utopian goals but their capitalist mode of reaching them. Their first album was called "From Genesis to Revelations" and that unfortunately describes the Christian Zionist politics of the band's music. Well, we seem to be living through Revelations and there's no Christ coming to save us from the Satanic false messiah Zionism is inviting.

Genesis is most accountable now to expose the New World Order built from the Bible's Jewish and Christian Zionism. Because no other pop act understands it as well and how its only created more of the disparity and pain its supposed to remedy. And they are complicit by not being more open in challenging the Zionist media they served and exploited. "Genesis" could mean the beginning of everything, not just the Biblical "Genesis". Its up to them and I hope they rise to the task because here's a band with all the tools but they never quite rose to the epic potential. 

i'll end with this song from Mike Rutherford's side project. despite his very defeatist, rightwing style, this song is the most anti-Illuminati out of Genesis and arguably out of 80s rock. a man sends a message to his family to prepare for an inevitable war and takeover by an authoritarian government. he warns them to believe in God privately and worship the government to survive. to not trust religion or the government because he's gotten information from the "high command". this fits in a more survivalist worldview that a war is inevitable but we all will rise up and defeat those now in control when the time is optimal.
