Usually I end up disagreeing with a lot of ‘conspiracy’ sites’ analyses of symbolism. One good example is the All-Seeing Eye and the pyramid. For example, Solomon says in Proverbs that God’s “eye[s] are all-seeing.” I’m not sure we know the origin of the Egyptian usage of the All-Seeing Eye, but what determines the meaning of a symbol would be the usage and intention, not the viewers imported meaning. I’m not a deconstructionist or into Derrida. That said, those on the dark side do use the symbol as a reference to Satan or Lucifer or the panoptic surveillance society. It’s also possible that this is meant as a satire or criticism of the “industry.”

The symbol is a reference to an omniscient Deity. That being the case, in can refer to the one true Deity, or it can be used by anyone to refer to anything – some false god. However, in Peter Gabriel’s case, I think it’s a reasonable conjecture that he means it in an occultic sense. At 1:15 we see an image of who made him ‘Big Time.’ And on another note – Vigilant Citizen hinted the other day on Fakebook that his site is the top ripped off site now. I hope he isn’t refering to yours truly and Peter Parker, since we were doing this on my old site before Vigiliant Citizen existed, as well as others doing it years before any of us. Furthermore, Vigilant Citizen’s analyses are becoming the same – a perpetuation of the fiction that MKULTRA and the “Illuminati” literally control everything-every big video and film, everyone’s very psyche, which is just not true. Most of what he calls Illuminati programming is often just writers and artists using archetypes and Jungian symbols; not supergodmen using alters to control everyone. In fact, the articles there are being titled ‘Esoteric’ analyses now. -Jay
