“He’s a devil worshipper”
Warning: Long read. The worst thing? It‟s interesting
Before you read on, we want to warn you that „this is not for the faint-hearted‟. In other words, this
article may not be for you. . No, we are not about to narrate a horror story to you- but, this is not
fiction either…
Are you prepared to open your mind to the concept that just like worshipping God, it‟s possible to
worship the devil? This article is not to encourage you to do such an absurd, permanent and lethal
thing; this article is written to educate you.
Devil worshippers are everywhere-in the music industry, politics and even Hollywood. Listing the
names of the individuals themselves will be endless. There are just too many of them.
We know they worship the devil because they do not hide it, if anything- they want us to know.
This is especially common in mainstream music. One example of this would be when Kanye West
admitted selling his soul to the devil in the following freestyle verse:
"…. Or their scared to lose their record deal.
I sold my soul to the devil
I know it's a crappy deal
At least it came with a few toys like a happy meal.
I'm spaced out y'all, I be on that moon talk...”
The reason most artists make deals with the devil is so that in return they get fame, money and
get to live a luxurious life. In return, the devil manipulates their bodies when performing so that
subliminal messages that refer to sex, money and Satanism (devil) leak into the music video. This
influences the public on a subconscious level. Here is an example:

This print

Rihanna bowing
down and it is

video:
„Umbrella‟.
Can you see
the devil?
The picture has
been edited like
that for
a reason.

The illuminati are extremely clever. They know that if well-known artists such as Rihanna started to
sing songs that had negative lyrics in it, the public will raise questions. She was after all, a „good‟ girl.
(Maybe, “Good Girl Gone Bad” has a more sinister meaning to it. we will not divulge on that and will leave it
up to you to find out.) This is why they have created a fake image of these artists, so that their new,
dark personality will not seem unusual. For example, Beyonce now has a separate image for the
stage where she is known as: „Sasha Fierce‟. Here are some images. Try and guess which one is the
fake image and which one is the real image of each artist:
“Evil Sasha Fierce mimicking devils horns.
Also, her dark eye make-up represents her
deceptive nature.”
The good old: Beyoncé.
Article by: Runa Rahman Nadera
What we must remember is that we should not hate the artists. Most of the time, they often regret
what they got themselves into and want to escape. Eminem is now a father, and he wants to lead a
better life. This is proved in his album “Recovery”.
If you are really interested in this and want more evidence, take a look at these youtube clips (series):
-THE MUSIC INDUSTRY EXPOSED
-Illuminati Killed Michael Jackson part 1
This article was to raise awareness of the meaning behind the lyrics you listen to. It is still okay for you to
listen to mainstream songs for entertainment purposes.

Above is a snapshot from F.T. Island‟s Music Video “Love Love Love”.
Their videos are really worth watching, “Love Love Love” is our personal
favourite, with very artistic shots. It is followed by “Until You Return”
which is made into a small movie type of video featuring love, violence,
happiness. This video will make your heart ache. “After Love” is also a
great video with a beautiful song and lyrics. “Love Sick” is also a video
worth watching.
So take a couple of minutes out of your schedule to watch some of these,
you won‟t be disappointed!

JLS have shed light on their experiences of trying to make it as a boyband before their rise to fame.
The band first came to public attention after appearing on the X Factor in 2008, finishing second to Alexandra Burke.
Since then they have achieved three number one singles and a best-selling album.
However, before hitting the big time, the boys struggled to make ends meet.
In an interview with BBC News, the band's Marvin Humes recalled: "We didn't have a lot of money.
"A couple of us were working odd jobs here and there - but it was tough."
Oritse Williams added that the group would try a number of gimmicks to help them stand out on the music circuit.
"We used to do a capella sets. Four songs by ourselves and one with a backing track.," he told the news provider.
"And people would always say, 'oh, you're the a capella boys'. They would remember us."
JLS, which stands for Jack the Lad Swing are a British boyband, who were runners-up in the fifth
series of ITV reality talent show The X Factor in 2008, coming second to Alexandra Burke. However it seems that
they are doing better than the official winner. The group consists of Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, Jonathan "JB"
Gill, and Oritsé Williams. The group have currently sold over 1.3 Million albums worldwide.

THE NEW GENERATION
NINTENDO 3DS
Nintendo DS series have been the most successful gaming consol released by the gaming giant
Nintendo, and now, with a bigger ambition and tremendous excitement, the new generation of the
DS series is hitting the Japanese market
The New NINTENDO 3DS!
The new gaming consol is far more advanced
than the previous versions and with a more
powerful graphic engine and TWO more
cameras added onto the device, it is really a
revolutionary breakthrough.
There are also other sources which state that
Nintendo is hiring game creators to strengthen the
Game Freak team, who has a resounding reputation of
creating the Pokémon series, could this be a sign of
another generation of Pokémon on 3DS already?
Also, a new feature of 3DS is that there will
be a new slide pad above the original direction
buttons. This slide pad is also touch
controlled. Surely this means that there will
be far more games of various types available
on 3DS because of this new feature?!
3DS has also improved graphics, with the new
3D graphic screens applied onto the device.
Here we can provide you with some
screenshots of some of the games that would
be available on 3DS as soon as they come out
in Japan.
Now the character‟s faces looks far more realistic than before,
with far less glitches and better tone of colour.
The graphics are now much more extravagant and the
tone of colours have improved greatly.
One thing that we are not certain of is the releasing date of
3DS. It is likely that the device will be released in Japan before Christmas and therefore will take its place on annual
„Battle of Christmas‟, competing with other consoles to
become children‟s dream present, but when it will be
released in Britain is still unknown.
Even Mario‟s ride looks much better than it used to be.
It is guaranteed that as soon as the 3DS is released there
will be an All-Star line up awaiting the customers, with many
big names on the blocks such as Kingdom Hearts 3D, The
Legends of Zelda, Mario Kart, Nintendogs, Metal Gear Solid,
Paper Mario, Resident Evil, Street Fighter 4 and many more.

Ray William JohnsonThe Funniest Man Alive?
This might be funny,
but is this the kind of
influence the young
people of today
need?
“Ray William Johnson is a 23 year old comedian and video blogger, known for his rapid rise to popularity with his internet-based
show =3 (Equals Three), a twice weekly show where he reviews popular internet videos.
He started the show in April of 2009, and became a top subscribed Youtube personality in just under a year. He is currently the
number 2 subscribed Youtuber in history, he is only passed by Nigahiga. In addition, he has a vlog channel called BreakingNYC
(discontinued), a comedic annotation of his day to day life.
Along with reviewing viral videos, Ray is known for inadvertently starting/popularizing internet memes. He popularized the terms
"Squaids" and "Doin‟ your mom". He often mentions the term "interracial gay but sex" and "fake and gay", he has made these
statements a phenomenon.”
*****
1,299,665 people
„like‟ his facebook
page, and whatever
he posts on his
wall, he gets
thousands of
comments and
„likes‟ on it in just a
few hours.
His videos aren‟t doing too bad either, in the one called
“BATMAN!!!” he reviews a video of a dog „screaming‟
“batman” and another video of cows made by some animator.
Yet, he got over 5,000,000 views so far. In his videos he
swears, insults people and makes fun of them, but we still
find it funny. Why? I don‟t know…
Why don‟t you watch the videos for yourself, on youtube
simply type RWJ and see what comes up.
Personally, I think that Ray William Johnson is a really funny
guy, and I am sure that he doesn‟t mean to purposefully
offend anybody.
He has a great imagination and an outstanding sense of
humour, which helps our generation too.
When adults see those sort of videos, they think that they are
useless, offensive and that they are the ones responsible for
making their children talk in a rude manner, but hey!- it‟s a lot
of fun to watch his videos and it relaxes the stressful youth.
Furthermore, it‟s not like Mr Johnson encourages young
people to misbehave, he simply does what he does, solely for
entertainment purposes. And if you watch his videos, you will
definitely agree with me—this guy is FUNNY!!

When London won the Olympic bid, the main aim of these games was to regenerate and
transform the east of the city which is a deprived part of London. As the Olympic Games come to
town, people should all be able to feel the changes that would come with it.
Not only that would more sports centres be built which would become accessible to the public
after the summer of 2012 but it will hopefully change the mood of the public. These venues
would be used as training grounds for people who want to improve their skills and compete with
the world‟s elite, so if you are a talented sports person, keep your eyes open!
Did you know?
In the 2008 Olympic Games
there were more than
100,000 volunteers in total!
The first ever Olympic Games
were hosted in 1894.
USA have hosted the Olympic
Games 8 times!
This will be the legacy of the 2012 Olympic games– an
astonishing Olympic park for public use.
Tennis was played at the
Olympics until 1924, then reinstituted in 1988.
Olympic Games, although some of us are not going
to be 16 by the time of the Olympics, there will be
special programs which enable us to contribute to
the Olympics. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
This is the sort of transport
Argentina has competed in
the Olympic Games 21 times
and won a total of 15 gold
medals.
Sydney 2000 Olympic Games
was the most watched sports
event ever - more than
3.7billion people tuned in to
watch!

would bring
London, as the host city, will benefit especially as the
government is looking to improve London‟s
undergrounds and over ground transportation.
we can expect the Olympic Games
The 1984 Olympic Games
were boycotted by 12
socialist nations, including
Benin, Congo, China, Guinea,
Madagascar, Mali,
Mozambique, Nicaragua,
Romania, Yugoslavia,
Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
