The 2025 VMAs: A Highly Symbolic Celebration of Industry Slaves

At the beginning of the 2025 VMAs, host LL Cool J said:

“Music is the force that brings us all toghter. And we’re leaving everything else at the door. This is our night off.”

One would assume that these words meant that this year’s edition would focus on music, not agenda-pushing and social indoctrination. Well, they tried. However, for some of the biggest stars, it is simply not possible. Their entire acts are built to deliver specific ideas, symbols, and messages. In fact, the only reason they have a career and are allowed to be in places such as the VMAs is because they are the chosen vehicles for these agendas.

As we’ve seen throughout this site’s history, this is not merely about political messages. It is about something more profound: It is about the elite celebrating their control of the minds, bodies, and souls of their industry plants. And, by extension, of the masses in general.

As explained in previous articles, award shows are often built to convey a narrative using a select few key characters. In the 2025 edition of the VMAs, the show was mainly driven by Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, and Lady Gaga. Appropriately enough, they were all featured on this site numerous times due to their Monarch mind control-themed content.

At the VMAs, each confirmed their status as industry pawns in their own, symbolic way. Here’s a look at performances and the context surrounding them.

Doja Cat Featuring Doja Cat

The VMAs began with a performance by Doja, “industry plant” Cat. In previous articles, I highlighted how she was recently subjected to a “humiliation phase,” as she was constantly involved in bizarre, annoying, and embarrassing scenarios.

In Mind Control, a new persona emerges from trauma and dissociation. Doja’s act follows the same pattern and, after the humiliation, a new persona emerged from Sex Kitten programming.

Her recent video, Jealous Type, is 100% about this Sex Kitten persona, and the symbolism could not be more obvious.

Who is she watching? Her alter persona.

Doja Cat came to the 2025 VMAs to perform this song. And perform she did. It even started on the red carpet.

While the stunt was said to promote a line of lipstick, it is also entirely in line with the “narrative” surrounding her: The slave has to partake in revolting and embarrassing ordeals to please her masters.

After this weirdness, Doja gave the first performance of the VMAs. When one understands the context of her Jealous Type video, the symbolism takes on a deeper meaning.

Everything about the stage is directly related to occult and MK symbolism. In secret societies such as Freemasonry, the checkboard floor is the dualistic pattern on which transformative occult rituals occur. In mind control, the same pattern is used to program slaves. Doja is “floating” on a chair, representing the dissociative state of MK slaves, while the stairs to nowhere represent the confusing dead-ends of their programming.

This performance definitely “set the stage” for what was to come.

Man’s Worst Friend

My first article about Sabrina “Industry Plant” Carpenter was in 2019, shortly after she left Disney, as In My Bed was one of the most blatant MKULTRA-themed videos ever made. A few years later, the industry promoted her and released a video in which she murdered several men while desecrating a real church. Now she’s back with an album with a title that also applies to dogs: Man’s Best Friend.

At the VMAs, Carpenter performed her new single, Tears. As for Doja Cat above, the music video, released shortly before the VMAs, provides important context.

The handler pushes Carpenter through strange rooms where she is increasingly sexualized.

In short, Carpenter entered a house where all kinds of degeneracy occurred and emerged transformed. It can be compared to the music industry, where Carpenter is forcibly turned into a slave by off-putting (yet powerful) handlers.

Carpenter’s VMA performance expands on that bizarre context where drag queens and transexuals are “empowered” while she’s reduced into a hypersexualized slave. Is that feminist?

Nearly every dancer in her performance is either a man in drag or a transgender person. While the song is seemingly about her boyfriend, there isn’t a heterosexual man in sight. However, coherence is not essential; it is about pushing the gender-blurring agenda.

In short, it was Sabrina’s turn to push this agenda, bringing “tears” of annoyance to millions of viewers.

Lady Gaga and Dead Girls

In 2025, Lady Gaga made a big occult comeback. As explained in this article, her video Abracadabra is fully based on occult principles. This is not a “conspiracy theory,” she stated herself that there was a “spell” in the song.

Her performance at the VMAs turned the show into a creepy occult ritual.

After casting a spell on the crowd with Abracadabra, Gaga changes her costume and plays another character.

In the second part of her performance, Gaga performed Dead Dance – a song featured in the series Wednesday.

In the VMA performance, Gaga dances with dead-looking, lobotomized, zombie girls.

The emphasis on zombie-like children is incredibly creepy. Is it a way of referring to the occult elite’s obsession with mind controlling children?

Well, Gaga’s lyrics sound like an MK slave singing to her handler with words such as “You’ve created a creature of the night”. In the first verse,  Gaga sings:

Like the words of a song, I hear you call
Like a thief in my head, you criminal
You stole my thoughts before I dreamed them
And you killed my queen with just one pawn

In short, Gaga brought to the VMAs a dose of occultism, mixed with the mind control of children. Then came Ariana Grande.

Walking Monarch

Ariana Grande’s long-form video Brighter Days Ahead won numerous awards at the VMAs.

As my full article analysing this video shows, everything about Brighter Days Ahead refers directly to mind control. The “scientist” is actually an MK handler who programs an alter persona by piecing together body parts. Furthermore, in actual mind control, electroshock therapy is a programming tool used to incite trauma and dissociation.

As if to confirm the Monarch-related narrative of Brighter Days Ahead, Ariana accepted one of her awards wearing a symbolic gown.

After an extended (and bizarrely shaky) acceptance speech, Granded ended by saying:

“Thank you to my therapists and gay people.”

Sounds like something a mind-controlled industry slave would say.

In Conclusion

While LL Cool J began the show by stating, “This is our night off,” the industry doesn’t take a night off—especially not at the VMAs. More than 16 years ago, I wrote about the occult, ritualistic, and mind-control aspects of the 2009 VMAs, and, in 2025, nothing has changed. In fact, Lady Gaga gave symbolic performances in both these shows.

Since then, other pawns have been recruited, such as Doja Cat and Sabrina Carpenter but they’re bringing absolutely nothing new. They are merely fresh vessels used to communicate the same toxic messages: They celebrate their own slavery while exposing the youth to a pop culture that is dystopian, degrading, demoralizing, and devoid of any substance.

Oh, and Ricky Martin sang La Vida Loca.
