JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THAT GLENN DANZIG COULDN’T GET ANY CRAZIER

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010 at 2:30pm by

We already knew that Glenn Danzig was nutty, ’cause he used to sing for The Misfits and he doesn’t believe in doctors or medicine. So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that he’s a conspiracy theorist, too. From a recent interview with MSN:

What are you reading lately?

Let’s see… something I started getting interested in a long time ago, that’s just an extension of a course on America being founded on Masonic principles and things like that. Back in the ’90s I looked at it and it was a no-no to talk about, but… the whole organization that runs the world, which is multi-country, and people know it as either the Committee of 300 or the Bilderbergs. Some people call it the Illuminati. That’s interesting to me.

The Illuminati? Like, the bad guys from that movie Opie made? Yeah, I’m not that worried about those dudes. Or the Bilderbergs. Or any of those other groups people like to say secretly run things. I mean, my grandfather was a Freemason, and if that guy was running the world, then I’m secretly Joey Belladonna, and I just make fun of myself for free publicity. Oh, wait. Shit. I wasn’t supposed to tell you that. Now I have to kill you.

Anyways, here’s hoping Danzig now covers this:

    So Danzig’s a total crackpot? Not surprised. I know a couple Freemasons, and believe me, these guys aren’t running the world. The two that came to mind have completely different social/political views. Silly kids want to see things that aren’t there.

  • tall_ted

    To be totally fair to Glenn, he didn’t say how much of what he is reading he actually believes is true. To be less fair to Glenn and more fun for me, I’ll go ahead and accept as fact that he accepts everything he reads as fact.

    Also, I sometimes wish I could really get into conspiracy theories. It seems like a good time.

    Lastly, HAIL ERIS!

  • Cryzthormagnusian

    Why can’t the guy just have some hobbies and not get made fun of?

    • David

      Because he’s Glenn Danzig

  • Robotscythe

    Well, many of the framer’s of the Constitution were Freemasons, including Washington, Jefferson and Franklin. But as for there being some secret government running the world, that’s a bit of a paranoid view.

    • Cryptosis

      If you don’t believe there are a small handful of extremely rich families running this world you are completely oblivious. All of the people posting on here think axactly the way they want you to. Our own government blew up the world trade centers to start a war for the possession of oil fields, this is the honest truth, period.

      • Preston

        Yep, what you hear (the media/powers that be) is usually fear. Then the commercials we hear are a remedy to that fear = spend for complacency. It’s control thru fear.
        Glen is on to something — investigate this shit for yourselves. You folks with Freemason relatives should be more interested in the (possible) charade your dad’s and grandpa’s may be leading you (us) to think……….. they aren’t idiots — we are.

      • DemonicLemming

        Jesus God you’re a fucking moron, Cryptosis.

        Here’s a secret I’ll let you in on – my dog, she’s actually the Grand Master Poobah Leader of the Infinite Universe in disguise.

        You wouldn’t be the same moron who started the “lizard people living under the Denver airport” idea, would you? If not, you must be related.

          Watch Zeitgeist sometime, it will open your eyes. Then maybe you can stop being a mindless sheep like most everyone else in society.

          • DemonicLemming

            You ever think the people who make shit like Zeitgeist don’t have their own motivations, aside from “opening up people’s minds”?

            ;)

            You were saying something about mindless sheep…

            Oh, and don’t argue about beliefs with a nihilist – you’ll always lose.

        • AMBER

          jokes on you….
          and sea men too!!!!!

    • Sandy n Papo

      is not paranoic…is a group of eleven leaders of the world, their group is called The Patriots, and they send The Boss to the Moon

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Keith-Brown/537636633 Keith Brown

    Man, my uncle’s a Freemason also; the only thing dangerous about him are his massive eyebrows.

    He won’t shut up about this Bilderberg stuff either; it was one of the first parts of an interview he did with Decibel, before they started talking about his four cats…

    • Grymmbear

      I read that interview.

      I didn’t think it was possible that Glenn could come across as more of dick, and yet…

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Devon-Czekaj/550092101 Devon Czekaj

        And then he went and said that everyone who tells him what he should do is a fascist. I felt so bad for the interviewer because I could not be in the same room as Glenn without looking at him like he’s the nut he is.

    • Cryptosis

      “Are you hungry? That one is ryshika, it means dragon’s daughter.” haha

  • jim jones

    Well, to assume you know everything is naive no matter what your view. I don’t think it’s very “crazy” to assume that maybe the richest people in the world have something, if not EVERYTHING to do with global events. I think you all are the tards.

    The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an annual, unofficial, invitation-only conference of around 130 guests, most of whom are people of influence in the fields of politics, banking, business, the military and media. Each conference is closed to the public.

    • MadSkins

      I was just going to point his out. Wondering what happens behind those doors does not a conspiracy nut make.

    • John

      Its ridiculous to think that there is an elite group of people running the world behind closed doors. Especially when the most powerful people on earth meet behind closed doors away from the public to discuss…

      • John

        Please note sarcasm?

    • Cryptosis

      This is the truth, we are all fucked unless we collectively wake up, open out eyes and do something about it. We need to rise up and overthrow the government or we are all doomed.

  • Genial Gentile

    This actually might be one of the LEAST hairbrained things that ol’ Glenn is into.

  • OBEY1019

    hmmm almost everyone that signed the constitution was a Freemason and no body knows what there rituals are or who is at the top of their organization today. To me if your that secretive your doing something pretty fucked up. Therefore Axl your coming off a little nuttier then Glenn here.

  • jim jones

    John, your dumb, and also one of the naive persons I was speaking of, be still.

  • Cryzthormagnusian

    It’s not unlike the Jews all getting together on Christmas to plan thier world domination.

  • Stolas Trephinator

    All I hope is that when Danzig first discovered this secret cabal of world leaders and CEOs, he said, “WOOOOOOAH!”

  • cougar party

    I think someone just finished reading the Da Vinci Code.

  • Fufkin

    First the oil nonsense, now this. Whenever you blog about political matters on this site, however humorously, you display a worrying affection for the ignorant sweeping statement that borders on moronic.
    The Bilderberg group exists. Members and meetings are documented. The positions of the members certainly suggests they have influence over world economics. Danzig is no crazed fool in taking an interest.

  • Clown Baby

    If Danzig put as much focus on his writing and recording as he did conspiracy theories…well he’d still put out massive piles of shit, but maybe slightly less runny piles of shit that at least sound like they’re from someone that knows what they’re doing.

    • Cryptosis

      Your an idiot, listen to the new album, it is actually quite good. and this is coming from someone who thought he was absolutely horrible live, and was yelling “fuck you Glenn” at the top of his lungs from the floor…

      • deanerhead

        And I’d bet money you did it near the exit doors…

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ben-Robson/1375985482 Ben Robson

    The bilderberg group is influential but no more sinister than any other goverment organization. it’s basically an excuse for some world leaders to meet up in informal circumstances to talk about stuff. they also do this retreat/camp type thing where they do hokey rituals for fun, like the American Indian-themed junk at Boy Scout camps.

    it’s certainly not crazy to be interested in them, but from all I’ve read about Bilderberg, they don’t seem like a threatening entity.

    • David

      yeah, here in Northern California, we call it Bohemian Grove. Same thing.

  • jim jones

    ohhhhhh, ha, sorry John, I missed the sarcasm. Nicely done.

  • Brock Sterns

    this isnt that crazy at all

  • Wolfface

    No crazier than the fact that Republicans meet up in the woods in California once a year and commit mock sacrifices to a giant Owl.. Oh wait that does happen. (See Bohemian Grove)

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ben-Robson/1375985482 Ben Robson

      it’s not just republicans. honestly i think it’s just a hokey camping thing. like i said, the boy scouts do all kinds of Native American ritual shit all the time.

    Oh hilarious! Freemasons? They don’t run shit. You want proof? google map street view 348 N Lorel Ave, Chicago IL. ahaha freemasons. You metalheads are all kinds.

  • hyperkulturemia

    Wow Axl, you are on a roll for saying really condescending asshole remarks. Maybe you should quit while you’re ahead.

  • ZeroTolerance

    When did he say he believed it? He’s also said that he’s interested in the missing parts of the Bible and shit concerning Jesus Christ, and he also said he doesn’t believe in him. Interested/=/believe.

  • ZuoJao

    You are a Jew and therfore a part of a plot, it is obvious You’ll do Your best to make Glenn look as a nutcase.

    • cougar party

      What are you doing on this site, Mel Gibson?

  • DemonicLemming

    My head, it hurts.

    Here’s a thought – if a small group is powerful enough to CONTROL THE FUCKING WORLD, do you really think they’re not powerful enough to control any and all information about their doings? I hardly think a group powerful enough to control the world is going to have meetings that anyone outside their little group knows about, let alone allow anyone to leak information about their doings without causing a family-tree ending experience for said leaker.

    Paranoia’s a hell of a drug. Why do I get the feeling that most “world-controlling” conspiracy theorists are probably atheist? A psychological study of hardwired inferiority complex in the human mind would be pretty interesting – tear down God, and stick a human group in charge of “everything” in his place.

    Now I’m going to have to have the Grand Master Poobah Leader of the Infinite Universe, my dog, erase everyone’s mind for reading what I wrote. Sorry, guys.

    • hyperkulturemia

      The existence of these meetings and the attendants has been documented. There’s no disputing that. And it’s probably safe to assume they’re not all congregating to discuss the weather. Now much like you, I’m just speculating, but it occurs to me that if you want to have a bunch of the most powerful men in the world meeting in one location, it’d probably be a lot easier to hide it in plain sight than to cover it up. I’m not saying they secretly control every aspect of the world like some kind of supernatural Illuminati overlords, but dudes like this definitely influence high levels of finance and governance that trickle down and affect you and I. Believing otherwise would just be naive on your part.

      It’s alright to be skeptical. But being arrogant about your own ignorance is not. Jackass.

      • DemonicLemming

        Erm, “hiding in plain sight” doesn’t quite work when when people actively speculate (and believe, in some cases) that you’re actually doing what you’re trying to hide by doing it publicly. Especially, in this case, they’re doing absolutely nothing to make their meetings, members, and closed-door status less obvious.

        Do important people control the world? Sure, I never said they didn’t (you missed that, I guess). Do I think they’re all part of some black-label cabal that works together for some “unknowable” end goal? Fuck no.

        There’s a good scene from a movie that describes, perfectly, the mindset of all the “control the world” conspiracy theorists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNOQUPmgbnY&feature=related

        • hyperkulturemia

          I wouldn’t use that clip as a good example. From what I remember, the mentor character tried to dissuade Max from pursuing that ‘god equation’ since it was a form of apophenia (seeing patterns in random data that are just coincidental) which would drive him insane. Meanwhile, the mentor had already discovered this number years ago and realized just how dangerous it was, hence why he lied to Max in order to protect him.

          See, I see what you’re saying. The idea that a bunch of smoke filled room conspirators are manipulating the system to control us is kind of ludicrous when you think of it. I’ll admit that. I have no idea what the ultimate purpose of the global elite is if they even have one. But something tells me they don’t have my best interest at heart, and I’m sure as shit not going to trust them.

          • DemonicLemming

            It remains that if you want to see something (regardless of whether it’s a number, a face, an idea, whatever), you’ll convince yourself that you see it everywhere. People who want to believe there’s some sort global cabal that can somehow overcome their myriad differences (ever work with insanely rich people? Megalomania doesn’t even begin to describe some of their personalities) to work towards some goal that would benefit only them (which is, in itself, a false assumption that their goals would not benefit anyone outside of their group) will make themselves see it.

            The really fun part about it? Even if it is true, there’s absolutely nothing you, or anyone else, can do about it. The dipshit up above who thinks overthrowing “the government” (even though he doesn’t say which one) would knock said powerful people out of their positions? Asinine. People powerful enough to control the world don’t need governments to do it, and they’d be able to stop any “uprising” (fuck I hate anarchists, bunch of narrow-minded idiots who don’t understand what anarchy is) before it even came close to putting a dent on their control.

            So, you can either look at the objective data and say, “Yep, powerful people make decisions that determine how things happen” and go about your normal life, or you can say, “Holy fucking balls, powerful people control THE ENTIRE WORLD, omfg, important people do stuff in private SO THEY MUST BE PLOTTING THEIR NEXT STEP OF GLOBAL DOMINANCE, we must rise up and destroy….um….stuff!”. You either give yourself a complex worrying about shit that doesn’t exist that you couldn’t affect anyway, or you can worry about more important things, like what’s for dinner, when your car is going to need new brakes, and whether you like blondes or redheads better.

    Well, I love this page, but it’s a little stupid considering this a fantasy, I can’t say for a fact, a secret organization rules the world, but in many ways several secret (not so secret anymore) rule parts of the world. I don’t know if there is one ruling over all, but saying it’s not true, when you are just a regular citizen who does not dedicate to studying these thing is stupid.

      Yeah, our relations with al-Qaeda and the Taliban were so good, there wasn’t a hitch setting everything up, because they’ve never done anything like….that….before. And Halliburton is the only company ever in the history of the world to war profiteer…but….

      Wait. Shit. Why’s logic always have to get in the way of conspiracy theories? Fuckin’ magnets.

  • Matt

    I like my rockstars a little deranged, spouting nonsense. For years, that guy was on the right track- making crazy good music, and being a rockstar. I don’t need him to be a sensible nice guy. Anyways, too many bands today put more emphasis into making technically good music, and lose the soul- and too often they prance around fuckin wearing sports shit, and other bands’ tee shirts…

      Danzig is not a metal band? Pull your head outta your ass dude, you sound like some teenager who can’t see farther back than 2005…define metal then? Another fucking Euro dipshit…

    I’m not surprised that Glenn would reference the Masons.

    Two of his uncles are Past District Deputies (like a regional manager).
    One of the was the Potentate (the top man) in the Shrine.
    Two of his cousins are Masons.
    One is a Past Grand Chaplain.
    The other is a high ranking government employee.

  • gabboid

    ummmm, freemasonry is compartmentalized. the higeher up the levels you go, the more you find out, which is why many (and most) low level masons know nothing of what freemasonry is REALLY about and are actually decent people. and sadly the bilderberg group and others have more control on the world than you believe, research and research.
