Bon Iver’s new video gives conspiracy theorist a whole lot to work with
Does a conspiracy still count as such if the would-be conspirators don’t really make much of an effort to disguise what they’re doing? How secret can a so-called “secret society” really be if its videos are trending on YouTube? These are the questions plaguing the host of the YouTube conspiracy theory series A Call For An Uprising as he examines Bon Iver’s new video, “33 ‘GOD.’” Despite its supposed references to scripture (it opens with a quote from Psalms 22), that video is a veritable showcase of satanic, Illuminati, and Masonic symbols, including an obelisk, lightning, a Masonic staircase, and the number 33. These offenses and more are cataloged in a eight-and-a-half-minute video entitled “YOU GOTTA SEE THIS! BON IVER 33 ‘GOD’ ILLUMINATI EXPOSED!” Bon Iver does not try to hide or disguise these blasphemous images in any way, A Call For An Uprising points out. At most, this could be an example of what’s called hiding in plain sight. The Illuminati is either getting bolder or lazier. Maybe a little of both.
