  Seth Holehouse: This starts to help you make sense of the social engineering. And so I'm gonna get into this, but then we're gonna go deep into some some much bigger stuff that kind of is behind all this. Okay. So this is called let me just drink my tea before I start reading. The secret meaning that changed rap music and destroyed a generation.

  Says, hello. After more than twenty years, I finally decided to tell the world what I witnessed in 1991, which I believe was one of the biggest turning points in popular music and ultimately American society. I've struggled for a long time weighing the pros and cons of making this story public because I was reluctant to implicate the individuals who were present that day. So I've simply decided to leave out names and all the details that may risk my personal well-being and that those who were like me dragged into something they weren't ready for. So between the late eighties and early nineties, I was what you may call a decision maker with one of the more established companies in the music industry.
• 0:55
  I came from Europe in the early eighties and quickly established myself in the business. The industry was different back then since technology and media weren't accessible to people like they are today. The industry had more control over the public and had the means to influence them any way they wanted. This may explain why in early ninety one, I was invited to attend a closed door meeting with a small group of music business insiders to discuss rap music's new direction. Little did I know that we'd be asked to participate in one of the most unethical and destructive business practices I've ever seen.
• 1:25
  The meeting was held as a at a private residence on the outskirts of LA. I remember about 25 to 30 people being there, most of them familiar faces. Speaking to those I knew, we joked about the theme of the meeting as many of us did not care for rap music and failed to see the purpose of being invited to a private gathering to discuss its future. Among the attendees was a small group of unfamiliar faces who stayed to themselves and made no attempt to socialize beyond their circle. Based on their behavior and formal appearances, they didn't seem to be in our industry.
• 1:53
  Our casual chatter was interrupted when we were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement preventing us from publicly discussing the information presented during the meeting. Needless to say, this intrigued and in some cases disturbed many of us. The agreement was only a page long but very clear on the matter and consequences, which stated that violating the terms would result in job termination. We asked several people what this meeting was about and the and the reason for such secrecy, but couldn't find anyone who had answers for us. A few people refused to sign and walked out.
• 2:22
  No one stopped them. I was tempted to follow, but curiosity got the best of me. A man who was part of the unfamiliar group collected the agreements from us. So quickly after the meeting began, one of my industry colleagues who shall remain nameless like everyone else thanked us for attending. He then gave the floor to a man who only introduced himself by the first name and gave no further details about his personal I think he was what the owner of the residence, but was never confirmed.
• 2:46
  He briefly praised all of us for the success we'd achieved in our industry and congratulate us for being selected as part of the small group of decision makers. At this point, I began to feel slightly uncomfortable at the strangeness of this gathering. The subject quickly changed as the speaker went on to tell us that the respective companies we represented had invested in a very profitable industry which could become even more rewarding with our active involvement. He explained that the companies we work for had invested millions into the building of privately owned prisons and that our positions of influence in the music industry would actually impact the profitability of these investments. I remember many of us in the group immediately looking at each other in confusion.
• 3:28
  At the time, I didn't know what a private prison was, but I wasn't the only one. Sure enough, someone asked what these prisons were and what any of this had to do with us. We were told these prisons were built by privately owned companies who received funding from the government based on the number of inmates. The more inmates, the more money the government would pay these prisons. It was also made clear to us that since these prisons are privately owned, as they become publicly traded, we'd be able to buy shares.
• 3:56
  Most of us were taken back by this. Again, a couple people asked what this had to do with us. At this point, my industry colleague who had first opened the meeting took the floor again and answered the questions. He told us that since our employers have become silent investors in this prison business, it was now in their interest to make sure that these prisons remain filled. Our job would be to help make this happen by marketing music, which promotes criminal behavior, rap being the music of choice.
• 4:24
  He assured us this would be a great situation for us because rap music was becoming an increasingly profitable market for our companies. And as an employee, we'd also be able to buy personal stocks in these prisons. Immediately, silence come over the room. You could have heard a pin drop. I remember looking around to make sure I wasn't dreaming and saw half the people with dropped jaws.
• 4:44
  My daze was interrupted when someone shouted, is this an effing joke? At this point, things became chaotic. Two of the men who were part of the unfamiliar group grabbed the man who shouted out and attempted to remove him from the house. A few of us, myself included, tried to intervene. One of them pulled a gun and we all backed off.
• 5:02
  They separated us from the crowd and all four of us were escorted outside. My industry colleague who had opened the meeting earlier hurried out to meet us and reminded us that we had signed an agreement and would suffer the consequences of speaking out about this publicly or even with those who attended the meeting. I asked him why he was involved with something this corrupt, and he replied that it was bigger than the music business and nothing we'd want to challenge without risking consequences. We all protested as he walked back into the house. I remember word for word the last thing he said.
• 5:29
  It's out of my hands now. Remember you signed an agreement. Then he closed the door behind him. The men rushed us to our cars and actually watched until we drove off. A million mind things are going through my mind as I drove away, and eventually, I decided to pull over and park on a street, a side street in order to collect my thoughts.
• 5:46
  I replayed everything in my mind repeatedly, and it all seemed very surreal with myself. I was angry with myself for having not taken more of an active role in questioning what we had presented to us. I'd like to believe the shock of it all is what suspended my better nature. After what seemed like an eternity, was able to call myself down and make it home. I didn't talk or call anyone that night.
• 6:05
  The next day back at the office, I was visibly out of it, but blamed on being under the weather. No one else in my department had been invited to the meeting, and I felt like a sense of guilt for not being able to share what I'd witnessed. I thought about contacting the other three who were kicked out of the house, but didn't remember their names, and thought that tracking them down would probably bring unwanted attention. I considered speaking up publicly at the risk of losing my job, but I realized I'd probably be jeopardizing my more than my job, and I wasn't willing willing to risk anything happening to my family. I thought about those men with guns and wondered who they were.
• 6:35
  I've been told this is bigger than the music business, and all I could do is let my imagine run free. There were no answers and no one to talk to. I tried to do a little bit of research on private prisons, but didn't under uncover anything about the music business's involvement. However, the information I did find confirmed how dangerous the prison business really was. Days turned into weeks and weeks into months.
• 6:55
  Eventually, it was as if the meeting had never taken place. It all seemed surreal. I became more reclusive and stopped going to any industry events unless professionally obligated to do so. On two occasions, I found myself attaining the same functions my former colleague. Both times, our eyes met, but nothing more is exchanged.
• 7:12
  Anyway, he he kind of continues on a little bit, but this is so base basically, what he's saying is that the companies that own the rap labels, the music industry also are investing massively in private prisons because they realize they could they could socially engineer the listeners of rap music to become criminals, which then puts them into the private prisons, which is a huge huge moneymaker. Now I'm gonna play a video for you because it gets even more real. So this is a video of Ice Cube, talking about this. Right? So let's go ahead and just take a quick look at this.
• 7:48
  I I actually just gotta full screen this one for you real quick. This is Ice Cube talking about it. This is about, four you know, it's about two minutes on his actual section here. So check this out.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Same people who own the labels on the prisons. Literally the same people? Literally the same people who own the labels own private prisons. The records that come out are really geared to push people towards their prison industry. But they didn't make you write those lyrics.
• 8:16
  It's not about making somebody write the lyrics. It's about being there as guardrails to make sure certain songs make it through and certain songs don't. Some records are made by committee. You meaning record company guys sit around and tell the artist, this is hot. Say that.
• 8:35
  Do this. We're gonna have this guy write the lyrics. We're gonna have that. You have, you know, the record company pushing the narrative. You know, some social engineering going on here to make sure those prisons stay full.
• 8:50
  Seth Holehouse: Folks, we all see it. Everything's getting more expensive. We're paying two, three, four times what things cost just a few years ago, And we know they're lying. 3% inflation, really? Think about it.
• 9:03
  Why are they telling us to keep our hard earned money in the banks and stock market while they're rushing to buy gold and silver? That's right. Governments and central banks around the world are dumping the dollar and scrambling to buy gold and silver right now. These are smart people. They see the signs just like you do.
• 9:21
  They know the crash is coming. The dollar has lost more than half its value in the last five years, and our national debt's increasing a trillion dollars every hundred days. It can't go on like this. Even Bank of America's warning about a dollar collapse. And if they're right, it's only a matter of time before our savings, our IRAs, and our four zero one k's could be wiped out.
• 9:44
  Look. Right now, it's still easy to buy gold and silver, but in the future, it may not be. Experts are saying that prices will keep surging, and UBS says that gold could even go up to $5,000 an ounce. Noble Gold's phones have been ringing off the hook because the folks who get it are wasting time.
