The Dark Path: Conspiracy Theories of the Illuminati & Occult Symbolism in Pop Culture, the New Age Alien Agenda & Satanic Transhumanism Paperback – August 17, 2017

TL;DR - Read this book and Isaac will answer the why.Have you ever wondered why a giant, garish synchronized dance show is shoehorned into the middle of a football game, seemingly aimed nowhere near the average football fan? Have you ever wondered why every awards show where an entertainment industry celebrates itself always has musical event with massive choreography and confusing imagery? Have you every watched a singer with a giant dance ensemble perform flawlessly, every move in sync and every note sung perfectly and thought "I don't enjoy this at all, but somebody must because they do this at every big event or awards show"?I have wondered about this forever. I have always loved music, but had no use for synchronized dance routines and flashy spectacles to go along. If the music was good enough, you wouldn't need all this distraction. Why is all that so prevalent in our culture?I knew from my upbringing what a pentagram was, and goat skulls and that inverted crosses had satanic connections, but I thought it was just metal bands playing characters for show. Why, then, am I now seeing goat heads on bikinis that Instagram models are wearing? Why do celebrities all do photoshoots where they cover one eye? Why was jlo's halftime dress shaped like the head of a goat? WTF?And then one day I stumbled on to the work of Isaac Weishaupt (pseudonym, not controlled opposition). It seems that Isaac had wondered the same things as I have and started doing serious research.His work explains that these events are actually rituals that I was participating in without my knowledge, with dark intentions. At first I was skeptical, but after consuming even just a little bit of his work I began seeing the signs and images that were, without question, placed intentionally into these events. All over pop culture, they exist with no obvious reason, until you start to understand why.If you have ever wondered these things too, please do yourself a favor and buy this book. Isaac may be the foremost scholar on imagery and hidden occulted messages in music, movies, television and pop culture in general. His podcasts are great for overviews of specific topics, shows and movies, but in order to understand it all from a bigger picture this book helps all different aspects of this, from 70's rock to modern hip hop and from horror movies in that same era to modern day blockbusters, coalesce.The book is written in more of an essay style with Isaac interjecting his own history and opinions and it helps connect to the reader as an individual, rather than a more literary "THIS IS FACT" style that I really grew to appreciate as the topics got darker and the symbolism got deeper. I feel it is an absolute must read for anyone who also question whether pop culture is being driven in a direction outside of musicians, actors and artists themselves. Once you see it, it can no longer be unseen. Thanks Isaac!

I would like to start off by saying that this is probably the first review iv giving for a product iv purchased online as terrible as that sounds and should tell you how much iv enjoyed this book.I started getting into conspiracy theories recently with things going on in the world and as i started seeing Bill Cooper videos pop up. After a few weeks i stumbled upon Issac and his work with conspiracy theories and really took interest in it. I started with his pod casts, Conspiracy Theories and Unpopular Culture, and listened to every one of them.Looking for more info i finally shelled out the money and purchased the audio he made for The Dark Path, which is great cause i can listen to it for hours at work. I finished the book in a day and a half at work. With that being said i know for a fact that i will be listening to it again by next week to pick up on even more than i did the first time. I could not stop listening to it, the amount of information and mind opening ideas he has in this book are astounding. What i really enjoy about listening to his ideas and research is he doesnt force or tell you how to think, he simply states his facts and research and gives you his input and allows you to ultimately decide what you want to believe.I really couldnt say enough good things about this person and book. Id recommend this to someone new in conspiracy theories or an expert on the topic. The audio is a great way to listen to it if you have a busy schedule, and to me is worth it especially to support Issac and what he does for the people.

I consider Isaac Weishaupt (aka “The Illuminati Watcher”) to be a foremost intellectual master when it comes to discovering, and interpreting the secret signs and language of the so-called “Illuminati.” As the author of books, on-line articles, and YouTube videos on this subject, he is one of the few people I truly trust when it comes to discussing this inherently incredulous subject. He is a masterful communicator.However, while (at the time of this review) everyone gave “The Dark Path” a 5-star rating, I’m rating it 4 stars; not based on subject matter, or Weishaupt’s writing style, but on content organization.To best illustrate this, here’s the book’s summary, as posted in Amazon.com:“THE DARK PATH is considered Isaac Weishaupt's magnum opus; a result of many years delving into the recesses of occult dogma. Using cited references to occult literature from the likes of Aleister Crowley, Helena Blavatsky, Kenneth Grant, Jack Parsons and Alice Bailey; Isaac provides a fundamental exploration of the occult belief system and alternate version of history. Utilizing familiar examples from pop culture, film, music, and television; Isaac proves the "Illuminati" agenda to steer humanity down a path of Luciferianism by inserting symbolism that speaks to, and manipulates, our subconscious minds. Demonstrations of occult symbols, predictive programming, and ritual magick concepts will be evident as the reader sees the connections made between Disney, The Beatles, Star Wars, Rihanna, Led Zeppelin, Jay-Z, Katy Perry, HBO's Westworld, Harry Potter, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Alien films, Batman, Ancient Aliens, comic book super heroes, and many more! This work carves out a distinction between witches, satanists, magicians, occultists and the New Age, while proving the connected desires to usher in Crowley's Aeon of Horus as the New World Order. Using concepts from Gnosticism, Freemasonry, Alchemy, Kabbalah, and ceremonial magick; Isaac explains Hermetic axioms such as "As above, so below" from which many occultists subscribe to mental emanations that can be used to create reality. They are all part of the Evolution of Consciousness that is being used to push mankind down the path of obliteration through transhumanism, which promises the alchemical pursuit of immortality. NASA, Adolf Hitler's Nazis, and Ancient Alien theorists are using Darwin's theory of evolution to assert the superiority of alien life forms. A coordinated effort of science-fiction beliefs is being conducted to put us in direct contact with these demonic deceptions. The unsuspecting masses will be shocked to find out the "Illuminati" savior of Lucifer and his desire to put us into the transhuman digital matrix; ultimately destroying God's creation by "evolving" us into the next entity: a globally connected digital form of consciousness. Isaac shares personal tales of Faustian bargains as well as experiences with radio shows that helped confirm his world view of the frequency battle for our souls; and this book is a testament to those observations. "The religion of the ancients is the religion of the future." -Helena Blavatsky Website publisher of IlluminatiWatcher.com and top 5% Amazon author; Isaac Weishaupt has been on the leading edge of conspiracy theories surrounding the elusive “Illuminati” and its infiltration of the entertainment industry. Using examples of familiar pop culture and works of entertainment, Isaac has been speaking and writing about the occult from a unique perspective that seeks to understand the big agenda while helping others along the way. Isaac has been a featured guest on Dave Navarro’s “Dark Matter Radio,” BLACKOUT Radio, Richard C. Hoagland’s “Other Side of Midnight”, SIRIUS/XM’s The All Out Show, The HigherSide Chats, Freeman Fly’s “The Free Zone”, Mark Devlin’s “Good Vibrations”, VICE, COMPLEX Magazine, and many more radio shows and podcasts. His fresh perspective and openly admitted imperfections promotes the rational approach to exploring these taboo subjects and conspiracy theories.”So what’s wrong with this? Nothing, if “The Dark Path” were a 2,000-page book worthy of the title “magnum opus.” Sadly, cramming all that information into a 270 page book defeats the mission that this ambitious book hopes to accomplish. There is too many subject and reference tangents packed together that after a short time everything just fragments apart. If you can honestly read the above book description and not have problems in comprehending what’s really important about this book, then you’ll have no problems reading “Dark Path.” But I did.Weishaupt throwing subjects onto pages haphazardly is like shooting a shotgun blindfolded, and hoping something gets hit. Sometimes it does. Most of the time it doesn’t.Maybe because I’ve previously read most of Weishaupt’s other books and articles, reading “Dark Path,” feels like major sections were copied (or at least heavily paraphrased) from the other Weishaupt creations. It gave me the same feeling I had as a kid when I bought the “Marvel Comics’ Holiday Issue” only to find that 4 out of the 5 featured stories were repeats from the previous year.This is a complicated subject, but Weishaupt sometimes gets bogged down by turning his narrative into “Psychology 101” with overused references to people like Carl Jung and Friedrich Nietzsche. Important stuff to be sure, but at times it seems that we readers are flies on fly paper: hopelessly stuck in sections with pedantic, useless information.Now before you jot off hate mail to me, let me also tell you that while I am a harsh reviewer – just ask my kids – I am doing so not to be mean-spirited but because someone as talented as Weishaupt needs someone to tell him the honest truth about his latest creation. The fact is that while I had problems with how he organized his book, it does contain invaluable information not easily found elsewhere. In that regard, “Dark Path” succeeds spectacularly.Specifically:1. “The Dark Path” shows a linear path between the occult philosophies and teachings of Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, Jack Parsons, NASA, The Church Of Satan, the counter-culture of the 60’s, and how it evolved into our present convoluted present day society.2. “The Dark Path” shows the connection between all these “characters,” and how they interacted with each other to create the foundation of our current New World Order (NWO); a society where the “media” is more important than the “message.”3. “The Dark Path” successfully shows how subliminal communication, predictive social programming, violations in an individual’s privacy, and the forcing of political correctness have been detrimental to previous social norms and the beginning of the Crowley’s “Aeon Of Horus,” the New Age’s “Age Of Aquarius,” or the Christian’s “End Times.”4. More than any other book, “The Dark Path,” distinguishes between what most people refer to as “Satanism” and another branch of the left-handed path: “Luciferian Doctrine.” While I know that many left-handed practitioners still dress in Goth costumes with deer horns pasted on their heads, the Luciferians have taken a more “intellectual” approach to devaluing society and morality. “Why fight God, when you can become God?” They say that they may, or may not believe in physical demons, but they do crave the power and forbidden knowledge that these entities willingly want to give us. In this age, where many demand instant gratification, crave notoriety and fame, and see themselves as the center-of-the-universe – ala Korean Air’s "It's all about you" commercial – these people are quickly becoming the majority. And with that, there is a shift to redefine ourselves as a species. Like the fictional “X-Men,” we are becoming “homo superiors” with issues pertaining to pansexuality, cosmetic transgendering, DNA doping, and cybernetic transhumanism. Watch out God, because if you’ve got the money, you now can become anybody, or anything you want. Can you say “Tower Of Babel” or “Sodom And Gomorrah,” because I certainly can?So in summary, I didn’t enjoy reading “The Dark Path,” but it was something I needed to read. It’s hard to read about how far the world has slipped even in the time-frame of my life, but hopefully for many of us, it is a good “wake up call” if now not too late. I recommend this book, and urge you to read it.– Al Willen, Religious DemonologistPOSSIBLE CORRECTIONS:Page 27, et al: "In fact, Jung directly related the two in Psychology And Alchemy in which he reveals the relationship of the alchemists' Great Work and individuation."The term “Great Work” is used frequently in this book, but it should also be pointed out that the term also has a positive definition when used to describe the mission of Demonologists and Exorcists (“The Work,” “The Great Work.”)Page 192: "The meeting was immortalized when Fleming used Crowley's likeness to create the villain of the first Bond movie, Casino Royale as Le Chiffre shortly after Crowley's death."Actually, the first James Bond movie was not “Casino Royale,” but “Dr. No.” (“Casino Royale” was the first Jame Bond Book.)Page 198: "Like other science-fiction tales, they show us an alternate world with men and women that possess supernatural abilities."The word “Supernatural” is almost always misused. Only God (aka The Creator) can be considered “Supernatural (i.e. beyond nature). In our physical reality, everything we perceive to be “real” is “Natural.” And every other metaphysical creature (i.e. angels, demons, elementals, etc.) are considered to be “Preternatural.”Page 227: "On a related side note- some of the New Age Ancient Astronaut types were predicting a cataclysmic event to occur in December 2012, based on the teachings of Zechariah Sitchin. They believed a hidden planet called Nibiru was to come closest to Earth on its 26,000-year cycle."Several notes on this page:* Should read “Zecharia Sitchin” not “Zechariah Sitchin.”* The fictional planet “Nibiru” has a 3,600 year long elliptical orbit, not 26,000 year long orbit.* People have been predicting celestial catastrophes since the beginning of time. In our lifetime, most of us have witnessed the passing of Halley’s Comet, and the Hale Bopp Comet. As far as I can tell, the world is still spinning.* I think it’s also important to note that December 21, 2012 corresponded to the Mya’s calendar end, and therefore a predicted end-of-the-world. Yep, we’re still here.Page 247 (Special Thanks): Prodigy (R.I.P.)Does this refer to the Interactive Computer Service, the musical group, or something else?
