In this penultimate Bohemian GrOVO ep, we finally embark upon the climactic auditory panel in this parapolitical & rap esotericism triptych, namely our forensic recreation of the uncanniness surrounding the AstroWorld mass ritual.


Talking AstroWorld as Mass Ritual: a tip of the hat to SK Bain's landmark schizo book; the numerological significance of the date on which AstroWorld fest in Houston fell (11/05/21 & the early morning of 11/06 -> 11s evoking 9/11 & Crowley; a couple 5s—evoking death & thresholds—in both the date & the digit sum of 2021); NukSantiago's firsthand account of seeing a sea of dead bodies on the floor & his characterization of the event as an "Illuminati ritual" & "demonic"; 11/06 — 6's Satanic significance; chaos in the crowd & vid of medic's resuscitating ppl as Travis & Drake cont playing; an ICU nurse & Nuk attesting to dragging dead bodies out; the meta & ARG quality of the AstroWorld advertising, which freakily foreshadowed the fact the fest would become a major cultural moment & source of conspiracy theorizing; Weekly World News & Nat'l Enquirer vibes in promo materials; the metatextual quality is deepened by the full page tabloid ads in the Houston Chronicle; Travis -> Bat Boy; "injecting the city" (glowing in pandemic context); "when the end arrives, it's really the beginning"; "See You On the Other Side" preempting mass casualty; Travis's song "Escape Plan" creepily mirroring ppl's exp of escaping the crush of bodies; Travis's "Franchise" music vid evoking Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain"; Qabalistic Sephirot significance of the 3rd iteration of AstroWorld; an occulted close reading of the stage design; a portal w/ rings symbolizing Circles of Hell; the mtns evoking Twin Peaks & vaguely resembling the Bohemian Grove altar; OVO - Bohemian Grove Minervan Owl symmetries; a brief history of the club; its Romantic poetry & literal Bohemian origins; morphing into elite boys club bacchanal; past participants like Hoover, Lyndon Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, OSS founder, Bob Weir (Courtney Love connex), & more recently Clarence Thomas visiting w/ Nazi artifact collecting oligarch Harlan Crowe; the story regarding Drizzy's shell corp LLC "Silence Policy", which likely served some sex traffick purpose, evoking initiatic & secret societies' code of silence; "Weaving Spiders Come Here Not"; "Cremation of Care" play & effigy burning; what are the chances Drizzy has visited Bohemian Grove?; the hyping of AstroWorld as this legendary fest & Travis encouraging ragers to gatecrash; the refusal of the sponsors & streamers ( A p p l e & L I v e N a t I o n, iirc) to stop the proceedings & help the dying; a capitalist sacrifice to Mammon, where profit motive outweighed safety; stories of security guards pricked w/ fent needles dropping after the event (later retracted), perhaps serving as a distraction...; Travis - "No Bystanders" & the Bystander effect; Utopian & Dystopian subtext; Travis's shirt w/ stick figures falling through a portal—an xtra dimension to the ritual sacrificial altar dressing; the "Franchise" vid evoking mass MK w/ its stampede of sheep (sheeple) & possibly hinting at the crowd crush; the Hand of Fatima / Hamsa imagery in the poster; Right Hand & Left Hand Path of magic; a Ouija Board planchette visual allusion; an academic paper on Satanic imagery & symbolism at Travis Scott's AstroWorld published by an Indonesian Uni, which Klonny cites for the Hieronymus Bosch allusion contained in the Travis mouth fest entrance, which evokes "Christ in Lambo", itself a representation of the Gate of Hell; & so much more....
