Conspiracy Theory of the Month: Ylvis "the Fox" Illuminati Symbolism

Update: They came out with a children's book: What Does the Fox Say?

I'm a conspiracy nut. But hey, there is so much Illuminati symbolism and dialogue in this new viral video, I could not resist to dissect it. Here is their MP3: The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)

The first part of the video shows a party of people dressed up as different animals. If you know anything about the secret societies, they dress up as animals with masks in their secret gatherings.

By 0:40, the singer transforms into a fox costume, and asks a question, "What does the fox say?", which is the apparent theme of the music. Parallels can be drawn with the supposed transformation that the Illumined supposedly go through, but we'll assume that's coincidental rather than intentional.

The singer then is transported in a Bohemian Grove-like atmosphere with masked dancers. Again, secret societies always wore masks as a sign of secrecy for their rituals. Beams of light, or illumination, seems to be prominent in the video.

I assume that the main singer in costume acts as somewhat of a "high priest" in a middle of a ritual circle, at least in appearance. Again, I do not want to inject more there than it really is, but that is the impression. If this is really a Bohemian Grove-type, then it would make sense.

On 0:57-58, an old grandfather is supposedly reading a book of fairy tales to his grandson. He will feature prominently later in the video. The grandfather is illuminated by a lamp.

I suppose this could mean that the Illuminist families indoctrinate their children in their rituals at such a young age. This coincides with what the former Illuminist, now-turned Christian Svali testified.

At 1:12, the singer describes the fox. It seems harmless at first, just describing the general features of said fox.

Foxes in the Bible are always in antithesis and opposition to Christ and His work.

Luke 13
31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

Song of Solomon 2:15 

Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

Matthew 8:20

And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

Nehemiah 4:3

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.

On 1:30, something reminded me of a Bible passage. The singer says "So beautiful".

Ezekiel 28:12
12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty."
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."

The fox is a picture of Lucifer, as far as I can ascertain. The fox is Satan, a spirit of the grove, an adversary of Christianity. The singer then says "Like an angel in disguise" in 1:33.

2 Corinthians 11:14
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Interesting correlation, no? Light prominently showers the video, the false light of illumination, it seems.

The next phrase by the singer is curious. "But if you meet a friendly horse, will you communicate by morse? How will you speak to that, horse?" Huh? Well, the Morse code is a secret code or cipher, something secret societies use (not Morse specifically, but code in general). Also, Morse code involves telegraphs, which is tapping of fingers. Secret hand signals, perhaps? Maybe. The horse is friendly, meaning it could be a fellow member of said secret society. Again, this is just a guess, but from what I know of the Luciferic Illuminati, that may be the correct hidden interpretation.

On 2:30, rays of light that may represent enlightenment go out towards the viewer, with the main singer on front. The singer makes more interesting sentences.

"The secret of the fox. Ancient mystery. Somewhere deep in the woods. I know you're hiding."

Ah yes. The ancient mysteries. Some secret societies, maybe most, hold onto occult philosophies that call themselves ancient mystery schools. Mystery schools have hierarchical degrees and occult secrets in layers. Freemasonry, various orders, Druidic traditions, etc. are examples of mystery schools.

All mystery schools can be traced to the religion of the Tower of Babel, a first one world humanistic defiance of God.

Revelation 17
17 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

Singers start to levitate. Levitation is one of the so-called secrets of the mystery schools. Singers then ascend as they sing.

"What is your sound? Will we ever know? Will always be a mystery. What do you say?"

The fox finally appears and says something. But he is not noticed. Maybe the rituals are not high enough the hierarchy?

"You're my guardian angel hiding in the woods. What is your sound? Will we ever know? I want to know!"

The construction of groves, or a collection of trees used for religious purposes, is prohibited by the Old Testament in the Bible. In them are idol worship held. The video is set in the middle of the woods. The Bohemian Grove in California is a well known grove where an owl statue of Molech still resides today, used by the elite in occult rituals.

Deuteronomy 7:5
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

You can also see the All Seeing Eye (the Eye on the Pyramid) punctuated throughout the video in flashback images and subtly hidden scenes. Lots of scenes where you can only see one eye on the character, by the turn of the head, or hair hiding the other eye.

Zechariah 11:17
Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Matthew 6:22-24

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

In the end, the light of day ends the ritual dance. The Illuminists put on their form of normalcy.

So, what is the sound of the fox?

1 Peter 5:8
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Again, that is what I see with Illuminist symbolism within the video. Is it coincidental? I'd like to think so, but I would also welcome the possibility this truly is an Illumined work.

Update: They came out with a children's book: What Does the Fox Say?

Postmortem: Conspiracrat

A game of secret machinations. One is never ready to pull the strings of the web of secrecy.

Conspiracrat: http://gamejolt.com/freeware/games/strategy-sim/conspiracrat/9163/

I made Conspiracrat as an afterthought for the Game Jolt Official Contest. I really couldn't have spent enough time on it due to me having an exam in the middle of the week. I almost made it to the deadline, but I plan on improving the game, since it shows promise, especially in the Artificial Intelligence and some possible and future multiplayer additions.

The game is a turn-based strategy. You control a secret Society in pursuit of power. To do so, you must take control of Organizations around the space. Organizations can also take control of other Organizations, creating a network. Each Organization may have a total of 5 Members, who can sway the Organization to your purpose.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is a bit lacking right now. I blame myself for not giving enough feedback to players. I also haven't implemented the "Specials" system for each Society that the manual boasts. That said, with the right balance, you can play the existing game right now and engage in a conflict of powers. I need to make it so that the mouse can move around the map. A mousewheel, which laptops lack, is needed for zooming in and out, but it is not necessary. There is a glaring lack of options given to the player. Also, the "Member" part of the game is not as well developed as I'd like. For example, the "Advancing Rank" system of the Members work, but not to any advantage for the player, ironically. I'm not entirely happy with the Society goals, either. The game needs much balancing to make it any more fun. The achievements are a bit unlockable right now, but it should be an easy fix. The interface system was not as intuitive as I planned. I will cover the artificial intelligence in another section of the postmortem.

Graphics:
The graphics were on purpose simplistic and minimalistic, a black and white effect, with a few colors thrown in. That was done because of time constraints, but also on a more philosophical point. It suggests that the Societies have dogmas that are really varied, as shown by the color, instead of a black and white approach. Well, something like that.

Music:
I used royalty-free music from Kevin MacLeod of Incompetech. I found a piece of music that fits each Society to a tee. I used the Supersound DLL to play them as Ogg Vorbis sounds after converting them from MP3s. The music is largely dark and mystical.

Sounds:
The game only uses beeps for feedback. My old computer speaker's do not run anymore, and I have to have them replaced. I used another computer to test the music and sounds, which is the one I'm writing in right now.

Artificial Intelligence:
The Artificial Intelligence is horrible compared to what was planned. I planned it so that the AI can hold diplomacy with the player and other AI. However, due to time constraints, I can't, but I will, hopefully. Also, the AI right now is largely a simple decision tree, and not even that. Although I am glad to say it doesn't cheat like some other strategy AI.

Multiplayer:
There is no multplayer in this game (yet). There was supposed to be. There was in the beginning stages of the game there was hotseat multiplayer. But I went in favor for the AI playing against a single player. I'm still looking if I can turn this into an online multiplayer. We will see.

What I Did Wrong:
I did not put multiplayer.
I did not put enough sounds for feedback.
I did not put a well developed AI.
Lots of gameplay features planned that did not appear or appear subtly, yet.
I did not focus much on the Members part, where the Double Agents and backstabbing come to play.

What I Did Right:
I picked fitting and awesome music.
I got every basic thing in the game at least in beta.
It's finished, somewhat. It's definitely playable to a point.
It has a better interface system than some of my older games.

Well, I had fun making this game! I did have Game Jolt's Good Ol' Fashioned Fun Time TM in the process. I promise updates, because I like the premise and theme. I hope I can make it a bit more like a puzzle game and a psychological, mental one at that.

The Elitinati is watching.
Aeterna Veritas is marching on.
