*Note that this is pretty accurate- not 100% though. It’s run through software that is generally very accurate and then I give it a quick once over but there are most likely some errors.
[00:00:00] Today we’re doing a quick show to discuss some wild conspiracy theories regarding Perez Hilton’s recent disturbing video and how it connects to Ariana Grande’s new music video and how all of this could be a ritual to ball. Join me here on Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture.
[00:00:16] I’m your host, Isaac Weishaupt. I’ve been doing this since 2011, right? Analyzing pop culture, ritual, symbolism, the occult, all of these things. And they constantly connect, right? Even times when I think, wow, this is nutty. This is. This couldn’t be true. Sometimes it is. Therefore, we’re going to do a show about this topic. Very sensitive, all right. Forewarning. We’re going to talk about self harm and mental illness in this video. You’ve been warned. All right? If this is triggering, those kinds of topics are very triggering for you maybe sit this one out, okay? I’m not going to go too hard to paint on that kind of stuff. But this is, and also this is just a wacky, totally crazy conspiracy theory for entertainment only. None of this is true. It never is, never will be. Oh yeah, all that stuff. Okay. All right.
[00:01:01] And I just got back from the gym, so my man Jordan from winning Sea Coffee, who roasts my coffee as well, the mushroom and Naughty Watcher coffee at a call, symbolism.com My man Jordan texted me. He said, have you been watching this with the Perez Hilton? All right. I said yes, I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I had to get the workout in and he gave me some info about Ariane Little, little Ariel La Grandes. And I everything fell in place and I was like, let me hurry up and do the show. All and last night before I went to bed, there was. Perez Hilton was trending on the Twitter, right?
[00:01:37] And there’s a video which I highly recommend you do not watch.
[00:01:40] I watched right before I went, went to sleep last night. I said, what?
[00:01:46] What?
[00:01:47] And it’s a video where he was on live on I think Tick tock, which the account got shut down. But he was streaming live. Him self cutting and mutilating himself covered in blood, head to toe. I think he was fully naked the most. And like that’s disturbing enough, right? And he’s communicating with the people on the chat. I’m like, bro, this is one of the most disturbing videos I’ve ever seen in my life. And I’ve seen Faces of Death and all those things. So that one’s getting logged permanently in the brain.
[00:02:20] But the worst, the most disturbing part of the video and shield your ears if you’re listening if you don’t like this kind of stuff.
[00:02:28] The worst part of the video was him. He was like slicing himself and saying like, why am I not dead yet? I was like, bro.
[00:02:35] Oh, chilling to the bone. All right, now if you don’t know who Perez Hilton is or right is. He was a.
[00:02:45] Is a massive gossip blogger. Okay? One of the originals of the Internet, going way back, I want to say, to the 90s, but probably just the early 2000s.
[00:02:55] And recently I, strangely enough, he had been talking about an experience he had with God being real. Okay, this is In April of 2026, just a few months ago. He had gone to the hospital for, I think like a routine sort of ordeal. Ends up staying there for 21 days because the doctor finds he’s got deep vein thrombosis. And I think it turned into sepsis. Either way, he has a near death experience in the hospital and he claims that God himself saved him.
[00:03:27] And he had apparently committed to reading the Bible while there, which is, you know, all of this was very curious because he’s an openly gay man. All right? Apparently not very religious prior to this experience. I guess I don’t really know much about the guy.
[00:03:43] He had said that God presented himself to me in the hospital and then healed me. He. He did something that I can only describe as a miracle. I had been calling out to God for years, opening my heart and inviting him. And now I no longer need to have faith. I no longer need to hope, to believe. I know that God is real and that God loves me. All right?
[00:04:05] And apparently he had been posting ever since about like his favorite Bible verses and all this stuff. And someone on X pointed out a Bible verse, First Kings 18:28 from the king’s James Version that says.
[00:04:21] And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets till the blood gushed out upon them.
[00:04:30] And what this verse is about, because I had to. I had to cross reference it to the Orthodox Study Bible, which is actually third kingdoms 1828.
[00:04:39] And the orthodox Study Bible tells us that this, this verse is about prophets and worshippers of ball. Because there was this cult of ball, right, which we’re going to reference this here in a little bit. There’s a book I’ve got by, I think he’s a priest. Father Stephen De Young.
[00:04:56] He’s a priest, right, Orthodox priest. Anyway, it’s called the Ball Book, A biography of the devil, all right? And it talks about ancient cultures and how they would worship Molok and Ball.
[00:05:06] Anyway, this Bible verse references this idea Right? And Elijah was challenging these people to prove that their God exists because they were like, no, ball and Moloch is where it’s at.
[00:05:19] And they start self harming to try to prove that ball exists, which obviously he doesn’t. He’s a demon, right?
[00:05:29] The orthodox B, the orthodox study Bible says this. It says, Oh, you know what? I don’t have the correct thing on there. Hang on one second, let me get the right. My, my transcript is all screwed up. It says the people were indecisive about the true God and their double mindedness was destroying their souls. Is the true God BAAL or the Lord? BAAL was the name of a presiding deity in a community of deities. Therefore, the worship of ball included that of many gods. But if the presiding deity were overcome, so would all the rest be. The people would soon discover a new that the Lord is the one true God.
[00:06:12] All right?
[00:06:14] And because I don’t shy away from some of this stuff, I, and I’m going to be a dick here, right?
[00:06:22] Perez Hilton was also kind of grifting on this Christian, you know, newfound Christianity of himself, right? Because if you go to his Twitter, he’s got, he’s got a link pinned at the very top where you can go by merchandise with Christ’s stuff on it, which I find gross. Okay? Like 30 bucks for a T shirt with Christ and the Theotokos on it and all this stuff, right? And you could argue with me on that. And, and that’s fair. But my opinion is like, I think that’s gross.
[00:06:48] I think that making money off of God is exactly the beef that Christ had with the temple, right?
[00:06:55] It’s the same reason I don’t like mega churches and Bigfoot Church, right? Bigfoot the truck monster truck churches.
[00:07:03] So, you know, I’m gonna throw another theory out there that maybe this is a publicity stunt to sell merchandise. Maybe, maybe he’s just like every other grifter like Russell Brand who gets in trouble for being a terrible person and Diddy and all these other people. And, and then they find God, right? And God’s like, oh, please turn a quick buck in my name and print shirts for 40 bucks with my, my, my image on it.
[00:07:27] And you could argue with me and say, well, you know, these people are just trying to spread the good word. And, and like, I, that’s fine, okay, Agree to disagree. I think it’s gross. I think that’s like one of the most disgusting things you can do.
[00:07:41] Now, something curious. Just two days ago, Perez Hilton posted about Ariana Little Ariela’s Grande stepping out of the spotlight and wishing her the best.
[00:07:51] And he says, I wish her the best as well as anyone else out there hurting. All right. And I do want to bring back, like, sensitivity towards Perez and what he’s going through because the video is horrific. He’s. If it’s real, right. Which I assume it is. I. I don’t. I don’t actually believe that this is fake, but it’s possibility, right? Anything involving Hollywood or celebrities like, you got to wonder.
[00:08:14] My thought, I lean more towards these people have been subjected to. Through something horrific. And when you get involved with the elites and Hollywood and all of these inner workings, I think there’s something dark at the. At the bottom of it all. And I think that’s what Perez and Ariana are talking about right here. Okay.
[00:08:31] Because Ariana, little, little, little Ariana Grande, she’s taking a break after her concert tour because apparently she’s got a issue with all this public scrutiny and they’re giving her beef about her weight and her relationships, and she’s acting weird. And she’s been a focus of mine for many, many years. I’ve done many shows on her. I’ve done. I think she was in my second book in 2014, Sacrifice Magic behind the Mic. I think. Don’t quote me on that. I’ve done multiple shows, a sub stack, right? This goes all the way back to the blogging days when. When I started all this and up to and including the Wicked movie analysis and her recent video series called Brighter Days, which is about MK Ultra and memory erasure that I covered on my sub stack. And in that Brighter Days. And I’ll try to put the links in the show notes if you’re like, whoa, what do you got a substack? I don’t. I’m not too active on substack, but it’s there. In that Brighter Day substack video. I talked about the director of that video, Christian Brislai. Breslauer. Breslauer. I don’t know which. Oh, by the way, quick, quick side Housekeeping.
[00:09:33] My last video and podcast was about a movie analysis of obsession. And people are hung up that I conflated. I. It’s called the One Wish Willow and I. My brain is on penis all the time. And I said, one wish, Willie.
[00:09:50] I don’t know why. I don’t know. I really don’t. I. You know, I researched so much and things get. Wires get crossed. And I had done the Goonies analysis not too long ago where I was Talking about the one, the One Eyed Willy being a phallic symbol. I don’t know what happened there. My bad. Completely. I know.
[00:10:06] Please shut up about it, okay? Let’s just ignore it and move on. All right, My bad. I got penis on the brain, apparently.
[00:10:13] Anyway, Christian Breslauer, who’s alumini, confirmed to the fullest, okay, he did a music video for Lil Nas X called Industry Baby, where you can see the Book of Montero and it’s got the Kundalini chakras unlocking.
[00:10:28] The weekend had a video called Die for you which had MK Ultra stuff and Ego death, doa, Cat’s Demons video and so on, right?
[00:10:38] So he’s already illuminate confirming he did this new video called Petal that she did, all right? And Ariana, also part of the Cabala crew with my cabala queen, Madonna. So all of these things are interrelated, all right? And Perez Hilton also had been talking about borderline exposing, I should say Cabala and Madonna for many years on his blog, all right? And I also talked about how in Ariel Legrande’s Brighter Days video, if you watch the full video series, her father in the video gives her a five petal flower, right?
[00:11:16] And to the common normie, that’s just a flower to a psychopath like me, I’m like, no, that’s Venus. That’s a Venus pentagram, right? Because Venus tracks the shape of a five petal flower in the sky.
[00:11:28] Hold that thought for just a second.
[00:11:30] Hold that thought, right?
[00:11:33] Because her new music video pedal, we’re going to cover that here right now. It dropped on July 31, just a couple days before the Perez Hilton incident, okay? And the video is about her and it’s like the 1950s and there are all these women trying to audition for this part for, I don’t know, some movie, and it’s at this Fame, Inc.
[00:11:51] What do you call it? Rehear? What do you call it? Like a rehearsal center where these old rich dudes are deciding, you know, who. Who they should pick for the movie role. And of course, it’s always like they’re judging them for their appearance and so on, right?
[00:12:02] And she ends up, like, trying to revamp her image for these old dudes and eventually just says, you know what? And goes full leather face on him with a chainsaw. Ironically, Texas Chainsaw Massacre Day is August 18th, by the way. Anyway, I did a video on Texas Chainsaw Massacre too, last, I think last October.
[00:12:22] Anyway, the video is curious because not only does it show that Ariana Grande has some inner rage, right. Which supports the theory that I think, and I believe that she’s been abused by Hollywood on multiple levels.
[00:12:36] But also it has some very curious symbolism in the video. If you watch the video closely, I will put the images on the YouTube. If you’re watching on YouTube. Thank you. Subscribe if you’re not. If you’re listening to the podcast, you can go tier 2 on Patreon to watch the video version, or you can just go watch the YouTube free feed loser version. Okay.
[00:12:52] The images that you can see on her application, she is 33 years old.
[00:12:57] To be fair, that’s her actual. Her actual age in real life. But of course, 33 ties into the, you know, highest degree of freemasonry.
[00:13:05] Christ, you know, all these things.
[00:13:08] The, the. The. The bones and the spine and again with the chakra Kundalini stuff and all that. Right.
[00:13:14] But also in the video, she has a Hollywood star. Okay, what is that? That is the pentagram, the Venus pentagram. Yet again, the five petaled flower.
[00:13:23] Her name in the music video is. Her actress name is Pepper. Okay.
[00:13:28] This ties into Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley was the black magician. Black like Pepper. Hence one of the theories about the Beatles and why they put Aleister Crowley on the COVID of their album, the Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
[00:13:41] Because he was the black magician. He was the Pepper.
[00:13:45] He was sergeant Pepper.
[00:13:47] And the honest thing in the video, and this is why I actually sat down to record this to take a break from my Twin Peaks writing, is that she’s going to this audition, and behind her, when she gets out of the cab, you can clearly see a bull’s head right behind her Moloch ball, because that’s what everyone in this crew is worshiping.
[00:14:12] Now to go back to Perez Hilton.
[00:14:15] He was talking about the Illuminati years ago on his podcast in January 2023. And some little videos here and there.
[00:14:22] And there was another.
[00:14:24] I don’t know what Jeffree star is famous for exactly, but Jeffree star was also talking about the Illuminati and how they were hurting Britney Spears and Kanye West. And then we find out Kanye west was kind of telling the truth when Harley Pasternak was, like, threatening him and his kids. There’s a lot of dark stuff going on in Hollywood, all right? And Perez was commenting that, oh, this is silly to talk about the Illuminati.
[00:14:47] He didn’t believe it, probably because he could have been part of the system. And they’re like, look, you got to tell People, this stuff ain’t real. All right?
[00:14:57] He refused to admit there’s an Illuminati, but at one point, he had been saying that he’s going to reveal the Illuminati and expose them, if you recall, right? This is around the time that he had a black eye and people were saying that Perez was, was in the Illuminati. He got, what is it? Blood in, blood out, right?
[00:15:15] To let in the Illuminati. He got the black. He got beat up with the Black Eye Club, which, you know, the whole gang initiation stuff. It’s possible he joined with the Black Eye Club. And then he’s like, hey, there’s no Illuminati.
[00:15:27] And now he’s trying to get out. Blood in, blood out, right? You feel me?
[00:15:33] But it’s interesting because Perez Hilton famously predicted the death of Brittany Murphy on a radio show days before she died, which, of course, that whole thing was Susk involved involvement with Ashton Kutcher. There’s your Cabala connection, right?
[00:15:48] I mean, there’s so many, like, points of interest here. And you know, fun fact, Perez Hilton one time liked one of my tweets. Which one was it? I don’t know, because look, I’m. I’m a conspiracy OG from way back, all right?
[00:16:04] Over 15 years of full time conspiracy theorizing.
[00:16:08] And when Elon Musk bought the White House in January 2025, I wiped my Twitter because I was like, twitter is a state run media. There’s. They’re gonna spy on who’s talking about what.
[00:16:19] And I stand by that. But I also was just like, that’s fine, whatever. I get moments of paranoia. You can ask anyone who’s known me.
[00:16:27] I’ve done some very paranoid things, including changing the name of my podcast, which was insane just a few years ago, but I screenshot on May 10, 2022. So if you’re like a nerd that can figure out how to get in the archives, maybe you can figure it out. I don’t know. I tweeted. Someone tweeted something. I responded to the tweet and wrote Perez Hilton, question mark.
[00:16:48] And then Perez Hilton liked my tweet. I don’t know what the context was at all, but I screenshot it because. Oh, that’s cool. Perez Hilton saw my tweet and liked it, right? Because I’m a star effer. Okay? Anyway, in conclusion, let’s wrap all this up.
[00:17:00] So I got to get back to writing that. My plan is to get through X amount of pages a day, and I’m behind already. Okay? In conclusion, on the video, Perez Hilton can be heard saying, this is what you wanted as he cuts himself.
[00:17:16] Is he doing some kind of blood in, blood out to leave the Illuminati because he found God?
[00:17:23] Is he doing some kind of sacrifice ritual or. Or is this just plain old run of the mill mental illness? If you look at his pages, he seemed to be doing fine beforehand. But sometimes that’s how mental health goes. Right? And this is where. Let’s put on Queue up the piano. Full house music. Okay, don’t do this, guys. If you’re into this, if you’re feeling down, look, I got depression. I go to a therapist routinely, okay?
[00:17:51] Don’t ever do this. Call 988. It’s crisis hotline. If you’re feeling like this, you got to figure something else up. Because all it does if you do something like this is make everyone around you, every single person, hurt worse. And everyone communicates like dog trash. So, like, there’s people that love you, even if they don’t know how to talk to you the right way or you don’t haven’t talked to them in years. Like everyone around you is going to hurt much worse if you do something like this. And you don’t want to do that to people. Right? I’m. I’ve been on the receiving end of this.
[00:18:19] I. I had a family member that did this thing. And I mean, literally almost every single day I think about this and I wish I would have done something to help. So, like, it’s. It’s agonizing. Okay, you don’t want to do this, so get help. All right, There you go. Off this, off the full house Piano music soapbox.
[00:18:39] We’re also coming up on ritual days. Okay? Leo’s gate opens on August 8, but that window opens, opens, opens, opens. And then on August 8th, it’s at his widest and then starts Clos. Right, so we’re ripe for rituals. In August, Ball was ritualized, of course, and sacrifices were made to Ball at the beginning of each month. Right. There was a Ugart lunar calendar, and each month they would do sacrifice rituals. The Ball, they talk about it in this book, the Ball book by Stephen DeYoung. I’m going to read you a passage from it right now.
[00:19:10] Most human sacrifice to ball was an act in extremists. One or more humans would be sacrificed in some dire circumstance as a last ditch measure to gain the attention of a God. Before this, priests of Ball would engage in acts of self harm, self mutilation, and Scarification in order to gain that attention.
[00:19:34] So there you go. It connects into a literal. A literal ancient right to this God that you see in the Ariana Grande video.
[00:19:44] And it goes on to talk about how like, you know, infants and children get sacrificed to ball and Moloch. Right? And what I find curious about this connections. We’re talking about the Bible verse about self harm. The literal research about self harm. Ariana Grande’s video showing us someone covered in head to toe in blood. And then Perez’s video covered at his own blood. You add in the Epstein list stuff and how these rich old elite dudes, much like you see depicted in the Ariela Grande video, these weirdos are into depravity and abuse.
[00:20:20] I mean, that’s why these psychopaths have modeling companies and they. They solicit kids and then they hook up with the kids, right?
[00:20:29] These people are weirdos, all right? And they control everything.
[00:20:33] They control everything. Why do you think not one person has been arrested from the Epstein policy? Right? They control everything.
[00:20:40] Anything is possible. Right?
[00:20:43] So we don’t. We’re not gonna get the truth about what happened to Perez here? I don’t know.
[00:20:47] Those are some ideas force me to come up with a conspiracy. That’s the one, right? I think it’s all cult of ball stuff. So thank you for listening. I gotta get back to my Twin Peaks book. Right? So be sure to subscribe to me if you’re listening on the podcast. If you’re watching the YouTube at a cult symbolism. If you’re not on my YouTube, please get on there.
[00:21:04] I just crossed 25000 subs. Thank you for subbing. Thank you. I promise I’ll stop whining once I hit a hundred thousand, which you gotta. We got a ways to go. Unless they torch me before then.
