Rihanna Queen of Babylon

Queen [of Babylon] Inanna, Ancient Sumerian Goddess praised as “Queen of Heaven” famously descended into the Underworld to penetrate the darkness and re-ascend symbolically as the rebirth of Spring. The symbolic raising of Kundalini energy or the female Fool’s Journey of the Tarot, Inanna’s descent and resurrection is a psychologically resonating journey all man and woman experience in some way at some point in their lives. It just so happens that this journey is reflected, much to the surprise of many music fans who take the average music video at face value, in pop singer Rhianna and her relationship through music with rapper jay-Z (starting with "Umbrella" and "Disturbia" videos).

Her mentor since the age of 14 (who curiously locked her in a room-- an underage girl!-- until 3am [the witching hour remember] to sign her initial contract) and self-professed “big brother”, Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter signed Rihanna to the Def Jam label during his tenure as CEO, and managed her until his 2008 departure. Now, with his own label Roc Nation, he has joined forces with Rihanna and superstar Kanye West to form a superhero-like trinity—a truly paradoxical Rocafella(er) Godhead, if you will. The debut of this trio was their song and occult music video “Run This Town”, in which RIhanna is proclaimed “Queen of the Underground” ruling beside her consort (or consorts, but mainly Jay as God of the Underworld or Death: "all black everything")—like Greek Persephone to Hades—over the Masonic mob of demons.

Now, I find this quote interesting:

[It reads better and lines up with the symbolism better if you read "Ereshkigal" as "Beyonce" and her husband as Jay-Z ;)]

Ereshkigal, like many goddesses, has about five or six conflicting myths that we know about. Some say that she was a sky goddess that was kicked out, and her rage is because of being abandoned by her family. Another myth says that she chose the underworld because she desired knowledge[illumination; power; transcendence to "do what thou wilt"]. One of the myths that intrigues me most of that of The Bull of Heaven, a rapist thrown into the underworld because of his crimes. Ereshkigal marries him after reforming him and showing him the error of his ways. This was before she got the hots for Nergal, of course.

Depending on the culture, either Inanna went into the underworld because she hungered for more power and used Ereshkigal's husband's death to enter the Underworld, which ticked off her sister and that's why she "looked upon her with the eye of death," or it had nothing to do with Ereshkigal's husband at all.

About attributes of Inanna, this worshipper wrote (my commentary in red):

I started looking for a goddess who should fulfil the following requirements:

a) She had to have had a full range of feminine experiences not man-defined, but asserted by HerSelf in all worlds, by Her own deeds and choices;

b) She had to be vibrant and passionate and courageous. Why should Love and passion, expressions of Life Force, be alienated from the Divine?

c) She had to possess a Warrior´s drive and energy to rouse and motivate towards action; [see video as Rihanna leads the crowd at 1:56-2:05....she looks pretty fierce, commanding, aggressive]

d) She had to relate well to the masculine [Rihanna has had a masculine energy since "Good Girl Gone Bad", rumored to be a lesbian, hangs out with Jay and Kanye, surrounded by men], human and divine. The Assertive, Galant Lover has always been a strong neglected feature of the feminine that I wanted to see in a positive light. The Fatal Man-Eater tired my Soul, because in the end she just reproduces the shadow of men´s fears towards the feminine or a woman´s ambiguity about an experience of the Self that should be all life-affirming. I was looking for the image of Seduction, which involves the courting of the Divine in others and in the Self that is not based on power-over but in reciprocity and sharing. I came to name Her as the Beloved and Lover united as One;



e) She had to have gone to the Underworld, because I have always been fascinated by descent stories. The Descent, however, should have been by her own choice, not as a kidnapping or abduction by whatever means; [Rihanna seems to have come of her will, unaware of what truly was to come that she is now trapped in....all the qualities above fit Rihanna and/or the Image of her shown in paparazzi pics, videos, songs, etc.]

Now, you may wonder why I’ve linked Rihanna to Inanna still, after reading the above. The way I see it, Inanna’s worship is in Babylon, spread out and her name changed (see: Ishtar, Astarte, Ashereh, Astheroth) through the surrounding tribes’ appropriation of her diety, but still the same. This is the female goddess worshipped as consort of Baal by the rebellious Isrealites (who kept the dark magic learned from Egypt and Babylon and became the Kabbalists...the Illuminati/Freemasons are kabbalists). In fact, some say that Astheroth was eventually changed into a male god by early Hebrews/Jews and was one of the 52 demons summoned by King Solomon. Solomon? You may say…yes, King Solomon, the wise, who is a highly revered figure for the freemasons, known to them as a great sorcerer—the greatest—and whose legendary (possibly false) temple (not to God; bible history tells he built temples to Astoreth—Inanna—and certainly Baal/Lucifer) is what they are setting to rebuild at al-aqsa….could this temple be what they are standing in throughout the video? The hall of worship of Inanna?

Since I first hear the song, long before the video came out, I was anxious to see how Rihanna’s career would turn after this re-emergence from the descent (the chris brown beating) underground (aka away from the light of day, the surface, the media/paparazzi as she hid out undoubtably for more programming at that house Diddy rented to them, supposedly to “reconcile”) to be the main feature on Jay’s first single from his anticipated end of the Blueprint trilogy and first independent album on his own label. When I first hear the song, all I heard was Rihanna. I said to myself “he did this for Rihanna—this is a ‘present’ for her, to bring her back out shining”….Clearly it was to me a celebration of Rihanna, Rihanna who had undoubtedly proven her ultimate loyalty sometime when she was away rolling around with Diddy and Jay and Kanye.

Perhaps the beating and what happened behind the scenes afterwards was her final test to see how far she would go for this. By the looks of it, very far. Rihanna, then, like Inanna, was stripped bare and suffered humiliation in the hall of death (aka hades aka hell aka lord of hell traditionally viewed as satan/Lucifer aka “god” [to them at least] aka God MC aka Jay Z) and his consort, the former Queen [Bee], Ereshkigal….notice how after Rihanna proved herself initially, she blew up despite COMPLETE lack of any kind of singing or dancing ability and ECLIPSED Beyonce. Many, fans and haters of both women alike, have admitted Rihanna gave Beyonce a run for her money and to this day, Beyonce is much less popular for some reason than Rihanna. I personally believe Bey is due for a sacrifice—either her own blood to sacrifice or, worse still, perhaps she herself is to die or suffer some debilitating trauma—either to bring herself back on top, further advance Jigga, or to give Rihanna or someone else her spot. She is getting kinda haggard.

...or, Rihanna as Inanna

and "a table full of 'Fellas/'Fellers"

Another great analysis here, especially this part:

Jay-Z is asking you to “Pledge your allegiance” the new ruler and to wear black everything in honor of him. Jay’s lyrics contain hints to Freemasonry who are hidden in the double meaning of some lines. “I gave Doug a grip” refers to the Masons’ secret handshakes which are called “grips”. The last line of his first verse is “Back to running circles’ round niggas, now we squared up“. Aside from its obvious meaning, it also refers to the important Masonic concept of “squaring the circle”, which is way to deep to explain here (”I get more in-depth if you boys really real enough“). In the second verse, Jay-Z says ”It’s the return of thee god“, which refers to the Luciferian belief of men being gods. This term is often used in NY slang and originates from the fact that many rappers were Five-percenters, a philosophy based on the belief that all men are gods. Further in the song Jay-Z says: “I’m in Maison, ugh, Martin Margiela” which is a upper-end fashion store. English speaking people usually pronounce the french word ”maison” to sound like ”mayzaun”. Jay-Z however says it to sound like “mason” as in “Freemason”. There is an obvious double-meaning here meant to catch the ear of the listener. He basically says “I’m in Mason” to make people say “huh did he really say that?” as “I’m a Freemason” but he then continues by saying “ugh, Martin Margiela“. The little pause after he says those words accentuate the effect.

notice the sticks form "X" or triangles/pyramids...triangles also represent the feminine (V) and the masculine (the erected phallus or "A" without the cross)

the unveiling...

ready for illumination, the torch passed (from bey?) to hold up the light

subtle backwards 666 hand symbol

why are they all pointing to their temples (temple of knowledge) or eyes that are "open"? hmmm....

king of the underworld passing through the Gates (stargatess?)

Baphomet hand sign...he think he slick!

communist programming...communism is really NWO military rule that's on the way

the Queen, center...nice composition of the shot don't you think? ;)

blurred effect to show she's transcending/ascended, between worlds or spiritual planes...another hint of levitation

why are they both touching their crowns? and if you watch the video, jay has his hand on his head for a minute before Kanye sees and does the same, as if he were signalled....curiously, too, during kanye's verse, rihanna and jay can be seen singing along...why? surely this can't have been an error of filming to "catch" them doing so because film is too expensive to roll useless footage...also, Rihanna looks ECSTATIC once kanye begins his verse...she is smiling hard through the whole thing....hmmm....

the skull of death, to show where you really are if you didn't get it already....

JAY Z WEARS THE JACKET OF MARXIST MAO ZEDONG WHICH WAS MADE BY DESIGNER MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA. MAO WENT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHINA. ENTENDRE AND METAPHOR HERE. JAY IS GOING AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE RECORD INDUSTRY, UNIVERSAL RECORDS. JUST AS MAO REBELLED JAY IS DOING. IN THE VIDEO HE HAS HIS GANG OF WARRIORS AKA ROC NATION. THEY ARE READY TO REBELL, READY FOR WAR. THEY HAVE ON FATIGUES AND ALL BLACK EVERYTHING. THEY ARE FIERCE NINJAS, THE MOST DEADLIEST OF KILLERS. THEY HAVE PLEDGED THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO HOV, RHI RHI IAND OTHA WOMEN IN HIS CAMP ARE BLACK BIRDS/ RARE CHILLIN WITH THEIR DILLINGERS/WARRIOR/CROOK/GUN. HIS FIRST LADY AND HIS GENERAL. THE WORD TOWN SYMBOLIZES CHINA AS MAO LED REBELLION IN CHINA.

JAY Z’S VERSE TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF THOUGHT.

THERE IS SO MANY MORE THEATRICAL ENTENDRES AND METAPHORES ITS REDICULOUS

. KANYE ISNT EVEN ON JAY Z’S LEVEL.

THE BARS I HEAR KANYE SPIT ON THIS TRACK ARE SOMETING THAT CASSIDY WOULD HAVE DONE 4 YEARS AGO. HE DOES THOSE TYPES OF PUNCHLINES TOO MUCH. AND THOSE PUNCHLINES REALLY DONT HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH RUNNING THIS TOWN OR HENCE

THE TAKEOVER!

HE WENT OVER YAW HEAD!!!!

Yes, Im aware of that line in reference to Rakim, however it is a perfect cover for the true intentions he wants to sublimely put out there

If u listen to alot of HOV he talks about the ILLUMINATI in codes while making it seem as if hes talking about his peers in MUSIC. The only problem is he is an Illumaniti member and knows how to ask to mask it.

Even in “Run this Town” when he says Im in MAISON MARTIN MARJELLO he puts the fashion designers name to cover what he really wanted to say which is im a MASON,but if u weren’t aware of it u would think hes talking about FAshion… WRONG!!!! SN: (i doubt ull ever see a rapper in MMM)

Another thing to point out is ALL BLACK is the secret COLOR CODE for the IlluMINaTI and the symbol of the Planet SATURN!

INstead of Denouncing what People are trying to Inform you about “WONT U DO SOME RESEARCH” of your own and come up with ur OWN CONCLUSION! Also DOUg MOrris the head of the MUSIc Industry as a Whole is a Well Known Illminatist and Hov Constantly Praises him in interviews and in songs, if u think HOv isnt aware of who he really is, then ur very naive

Like I said on The Industry forum:

".....usually i don'[t hear what people claim to hear in backmasking but this is loud and clear. i love this guy for making this vid. it's so sad. it literally sent chills to me hearing this. it's like rihanna is saying "i want to know who [raped/tortured/hypnotised me]" and jay responds "us" and kanye "we. he"....these two are her handlers (MK Ultra programmers) and have continually abused her to dissociative states and degraded her soul, opening her throughs ex rituals to their demons. it's so sad. you can see the demons have totally taken her over. i mean look at those eyes, look how she walks....Rihanna is in an ever darker state i think than Beyonce. I think beyonce is fully aware of her role and enjoys it blindly as some (fading) queen--her time is winding down, she's less popular; i believe her blood sacrifice is due soon-- where Rihanna is aware and tortured mentally and wants to get out (see kanye's "paranoid" song/video with her where he indicates he is her handler/programmer/rapist)"
