Vigilant Citizen \u2013 January 3, 2011 (link to visually rich original)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJosie and the Pussycats\u201d is a \u201cgirl band\u201d movie aimed at children and young adolescents, especially young girls. At first glance, the flick seems to be one of those generic, God-awful teen movies, but on closer look, its overall tone and message is in sharp contrast to its peers. \u201cJosie and the Pussycats\u201d is indeed an acerbic criticism of a morally bankrupt music business. The most surprising fact about this 2001 movie is its frighteningly accurate predictions regarding today\u2019s pop music and its Illuminati agenda: mind controlled artists, hypnotized masses, subliminal messages \u2026 it\u2019s all there. This article will look at the movie\u2019s themes and see how it relates in today\u2019s context.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Josie and the Pussycats<\/em> was released in 2001 by Universal. In music business terms, 2001 is ancient history. Just to put you back in the context of the era: N\u2019Sync were still singing Bye Bye Bye<\/em>, Cisco wanted to see your thong-th-th-thong-thong-thong and everybody was wondering Who Let the Dogs Out<\/em>. Teens were going crazy for boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and everybody was dancing to Ja Rule. So, yes, it was a long time ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Josie and the Pussycats<\/em> came out during this era, but it also seemed to foretell the death of this era. The movie starts with members of the boy band \u201cDu Jour\u201d, <\/em>a spoof on the Backstreet Boys, dying in a forced plane crash. The group is then replaced by a girl band with a semi-punky attitude and non-threatening pop-rock music. This pretty much reflects what actually happened in the years following the release of this movie: N\u2019Sync and the Backstreet Boys disappeared from the pre-teen music market and were replaced by Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, the Jonas Brothers and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the movie\u2019s apparent light-heartedness, it manages to pack a harsh and sustained criticism of the music business. It is also severely critical of the state of America\u2019s youth. Teens and pre-teens are constantly depicted as a herd of <\/span>brainless drones who are incapable of independent thinking and prone to hysteria<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But behind the usual \u201cOMG these big corporations are so corporation-y\u201d<\/em> criticism, Josie and the Pussycats<\/em> tackles, in an odd and humorous way,\u00a0 some of the darker sides of the music industry, including the mind control of the masses, the mind control of artists by the industry and even the assassination of artists who ask too many questions or rebel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Boy band that Knew Too Much<\/span><\/h2>\n

As stated above, the movie starts with Du Jour (the boy band \u201cof the day\u201d) enjoying their enormous success. In their private jet, the vain and half-witted group of singers complain about petty things to their record executive Wyatt, who acts more as a legal guardian or, in mind-control terms, a handler.<\/span><\/p>\n

The band then asks Wyatt about strange sounds they heard in the acapella tracks of their latest song \u2026 and they want some answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wyatt\u2019s answer is quite harsh: He and the plane\u2019s pilot strap on parachutes and jump off the plane, leaving Du Jour to die in what is then called an \u201caccidental\u201d plane crash. This has happened in real life numerous times: artists who start uncovering the darker side of things, who ask too much questions or, worse, plan to reveal these things to the public, are often dropped, publicly humiliated and scorned, or, as in this case, killed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mega Records<\/span><\/h2>\n

Du Jour was signed with the world\u2019s biggest record label, Mega Records. We soon learn that the company is much more than a record label.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mega Records is, in fact, \u201cin business\u201d with the American government and the FBI to brainwash the \u201cmost influential demographic in the entire population\u201d: the youth. While giving a tour of the label\u2019s headquarters to visitors from foreign countries (who are learning how it\u2019s done), Fiona, the eccentric CEO of Mega Records says this:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019re wondering why agent Kelly and the United States government would be so interested in what appears to be a record company. Well, I\u2019m about to show you why.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Fiona\u2019s office then turns into an <\/span>elevator and starts descending into a secret underground facility<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The label\u2019s headquarters is, in fact, a control center for manipulating the minds of the American youth. It creates new fads, decides everything from \u201cwhat clothes are in style to what slang is in vogue\u201d with the ultimate goal of keeping the youth spending money by constantly chasing temporary trends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reality is, of course, more complex than that. Trends are (probably) not created in an underground control center in New York city. There is however truth in this near-cartoonish depiction of the music business. The entertainment industry is indeed connected to \u201chigher powers\u201d (as personified in the movie by the FBI agent) in order to sell the youth on the economic elite\u2019s agenda. Popular culture not only attempts to sell products and brands to the audience, but also ideas, values and attitudes. In previous articles on the <\/span>Vigilant Citizen<\/span><\/a>, we have established that today\u2019s agenda focuses on concepts such as transhumanism, Illuminati symbolism, premature sexualization, police state\/militarization and so forth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing her tour, Fiona says:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut how, you may ask, can our operation be so effective? Sure these kids have brains like play dough, just waiting to be molded into shape, but something else must be going on, right?\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Fiona then explains that her label inserts subliminal messages in pop music in order to manipulate the youth into buying products and ideas. So, the label goes beyond the simple advertising of products. It conceals in the music hidden messages that bypass the audience\u2019s conscious minds in order to directly reach their subconscious.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the presentation, a foreigner asks Fiona \u201cHow can you control the rock bands? What if one them discovers you are placing hidden messages in their music?\u201d This is what she answers:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEver wonder why so many rock stars die in plane crashes? Overdosed on drugs? We\u2019ve been doing this a long time. If they start to get too curious, our options are endless. Bankruptcies \u2026 shocking scandals \u2026 religious conversions!\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

There are numerous real life examples of celebrities who have been silenced, one of the most shocking and evident being Michael Jackson. After decades of being controlled by the entertainment business, he attempted to break free in the late 90s. He even spoke out about it (see the article \u201c<\/span>When Insiders Reveal the Ugly Side of the Entertainment Business<\/span><\/a>\u201c). He then endured years of scandals, trials, public ridicule and financial difficulties. Michael Jackson still managed to keep singing and dancing, even organizing a world tour\u00a0 for 2010.\u00a0 Since previous attempts to destroy him failed,\u00a0 MJ got silenced \u2026 by force. So, it would seem that ten years after the release of this movie, shady celebrity sacrifices are still happening.<\/span><\/p>\n

New 3D Technology<\/span><\/h3>\n

In an attempt to \u201ctake things to the next level\u201d, Mega Records develops a new technology called \u201c3DX Surround Sound\u201d. This new technology \u201cmakes the music feel like it is happening all around you\u201d. All the kids who attend Josie and the Pussycat concerts or watches them on TV has to purchase <\/span>this headgear in order to hear the music<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in real life, we are seeing the commercialization of a very similar technology \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Josie and the Pussycats: From Nobodies to Sex Kitten Programming Stars<\/span><\/h2>\n

After the killing of Du Jour, record exec Wyatt is instructed to find a band as soon as possible. The movie makes it clear that talent is absolutely irrelevant. The label just needs a good-looking group and it will take care of the rest. Then we are introduced to the\u00a0 Pussycats <\/em>\u2026 <\/span>and their lack of fans<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rock band comprises three young ladies who wear leopard ears as a prop. It is quite obvious that nobody wants to hear their music and even their manager Alexander doesn\u2019t seem to like it.<\/span><\/p>\n

After hearing about Du Jour\u2019s plane crash on television, the Pussycats leader, Josie, is motivated to \u201cget out there\u201d and obtain a record contract. At the same time, Wyatt is driving around in the small town of Riverdale, looking for a band to sign. Then it happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wyatt literally runs into the Pussycats crossing the street. Some dudes coincidentally walk behind them holding a <\/span>sign saying \u201c#1 Band in the World\u201d<\/span><\/a>. That\u2019s pretty much all Wyatt needed to see to sign them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wyatt sits down with the girls and tells them how happy he is \u201cto be sitting down with the Pussyhats\u201d. He obviously knows nothing about the band and does not care. He then offers them a record contract with Mega Records. Josie wonders briefly why her band is being offered a contract by a label that did not even hear them play. Her hunger for fame however dispels all of her doubts and the band signs the contract.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pussycat\u2019s story is classic: a broke, struggling band attempts to become big by performing gigs; a record label offers a shady contract; the desperate and fame-hungry band signs, not knowing what they are getting in to. For the band, it\u2019s either taking a chance and signing the contract or going back to eating Ramen noodles in a crappy apartment. So, they sign the contract.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right after they sign, the label subjects the group to a complete metamorphosis: a make-over to \u201csexy them up\u201d and a name change, from The Pussycats to Josie and the Pussycats<\/em>. The group is now completely owned by the label. Its has lost control of its image, its name and even its music, as it has been modified to contain subliminal messages. But those changes pay off, as they become a #1 band in less than a week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mind Control<\/span><\/h3>\n

The movie also contains numerous references to mind-control programming. As stated in previous articles, numerous celebrities have been subject to mind control in order for them to become easily manageable by their handlers. In harsher words, they become slaves of the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

From wearing cute little kitty ears, the group is now <\/span>draped in feline prints<\/span><\/a>, a mind control meme signifying a subject\u2019s beta programming, also known as Sex Kitten programming. The fact that\u00a0 they wore the ears before they got famous might signify the group\u2019s predisposition to this kind of programming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monarch mind control includes numerous types of programming, one of them being Beta (or Sex Kitten programming). It is the type of programming that is the most used in the entertainment industry and it is coded with references to \u201ccats\u201d, \u201ckitties\u201d, \u201cpussycats\u201d and also with the wearing of feline print clothing. This might explain why the producers chose to base the girl band on the<\/span> Archie Comic of the same name<\/span><\/a>. The symbolism was just too perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, in less than a week, with the help subliminal messaging, the group produces a #1 hit and sells out a huge concert. The group even earns the honour of meeting the label\u2019s CEO, Fiona.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In <\/span>Fiona\u2019s \u201chang out\u201d room<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(above), notice the painting on the left. Yes, this was years before the creation of the persona named Lady Gaga.<\/span><\/p>\n

The girls soon realize that Fiona acts in a strange, dissociative matter, as if she were herself under some sort of mind control.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the meeting, Fiona spies on the group using hidden cameras and learns that two members of the group, Melody and Valerie, are creeped out by her and flat-out do not trust her. So she decides to go with another tactic we often see in the music business: to keep the star of the group and drop the other band members.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to carry out this operation, the label proceeds to use mind control on Josie by making her listen to subliminal messages in her own music.\u00a0 The process completely changes her attitude and personality: Josie turns from a sweet and down-to-earth girl into an attention-hungry diva who is convinced that her friends are worthless. This scene subtly describes the hidden, mind control aspect happening in the music business: label execs use mind control programming to create an alter persona in Josie that they can control and manage at will.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, Josie manages to snap out of her hypnotic state and learns everything about the 3D, mass mind-control concert. Unfortunately,\u00a0 her band mates Melody and Valerie have been kidnapped by the label and Josie must perform in the mind control concert to avoid the \u201caccidental killing\u201d of her friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

I will spare you the details of the ending, but I can tell you that it involves cat fights and the girls playing generic pop rock in front of crowd that has learned to think for itself. Thank you Josie!<\/span><\/p>\n

In Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n

The least we can say is that Josie and the Pussycats<\/em> is in odd movie. It harshly criticizes some aspects of the entertainment business while perpetuating more of the same. One example of this situation is the <\/span>ridiculous amount of product placements in the movie<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of those placements are pretty hilarious (see the box of Tide above), but, at the same time, the movie actually perpetuates more of the same. Imagine me repeatedly punching someone in the face. Then when asked to stop, imagine me replying: \u201cCan\u2019t you see that I\u2019m pushing this face-punching to an absurd level? You\u2019re obviously not getting the brilliant second-degree message here, I\u2019m actually denouncing violence! So sit there and think about violence in society while I keep pounding this guy\u2019s face\u201d. Despite what is being said, the fact remains, pounding someone in the face is itself perpetuating violence\u2026and this movie keeps face-punching the viewers with product placements.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, the entire movie\u2019s message gives the same odd feeling. Its clever \u201cbehind-the-scenes\u201d look of the music industry makes the viewers feel they\u2019re \u201cin on the joke\u201d, making them feel comfortable enough to let their guard down. However, at the end of the day, the young viewers are still the butt of the joke: all of the sleazy and gimmicky tactics are being used on the real-life viewers in order to sell mind-control friendly music. Furthermore, the movie fictionalizes some of the darker aspects of the entertainment business, by making mind control and other concepts something that one can \u201conly see in the movies\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the movie, Mega Record\u2019s mass hypnosis plans are uncovered, and the FBI (who funded the project) immediately attempts to dissociate from the label, even arresting Fiona \u201con charges of conspiracy against the youth of America\u201d. The agent then privately says to Fiona: \u201cWe were shutting down your entire project anyways\u2026we found out that subliminal messages work much better in movies!\u201d This is the movie\u2019s way of saying that even though it has let you in on the joke, the movie is still part of the plans. In other words, the biggest joke in the movie \u2026 is you.<\/span><\/p>\n
