It was reported yesterday that Ms. Lauryn Hill has been charged with three counts of misdemeanor failure to file taxes. These charges were incurred for the years of 2005-2007, during a time in which Ms. Hill had removed herself and her family from society, in order to keep them safe, healthy, and free from danger. In response to these charges, Ms. Hill has issued the following statement:
Quote:
“For the past several years, I have remained what others would consider underground. I did this in order to build a community of people, like-minded in their desire for freedom and the right to pursue their goals and lives without being manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex with a completely different agenda. Having put the lives and needs of other people before my own for multiple years, and having made hundreds of millions of dollars for certain institutions, under complex and sometimes severe circumstances, I began to require growth and more equitable treatment, but was met with resistance. I entered into my craft full of optimism (which I still possess), but immediately saw the suppressive force with which the system attempts to maintain it’s control over a given paradigm. I’ve seen people promote addiction, use sabotage, black listing, media bullying and any other coercion technique they could, to prevent artists from knowing their true value, or exercising their full power. These devices of control, no matter how well intentioned (or not), can have a devastating outcome on the lives of people, especially creative types who must grow and exist within a certain environment and according to a certain pace, in order to live and create optimally.
I kept my life relatively simple, even after huge successes, but it became increasingly obvious that certain indulgences and privileges were expected to come at the expense of my free soul, free mind, and therefore my health and integrity. So I left a more mainstream and public life, in order to wean both myself, and my family, away from a lifestyle that required distortion and compromise as a means for maintaining it. During this critical healing time, there were very few people accessible to me who had not already been seduced or affected by this machine, and therefore who could be trusted to not try and influence or coerce me back into a dynamic of compromise. Individual growth was expected to take place unnaturally, or stagnated outright, subject to marketing and politics. Addressing critical issues like pop culture cannibalism or its manipulation of the young at the expense of everything, was frowned upon and discouraged by limiting funding, or denying it outright. When one has a prolific creative output like I did/do, and is then forced to stop, the effects can be dangerous both emotionally and psychologically, both for the artist and those in need of that resource. It was critically important that I find a suitable pathway within which to exist, without being distorted or economically strong-armed.
During this period of crisis, much was said about me, both slanted and inaccurate, by those who had become dependent on my creative force, yet unwilling to fully acknowledge the importance of my contribution, nor compensate me equitably for it. This was done in an effort to smear my public image, in order to directly affect my ability to earn independently of this system. It took a long time to locate and nurture a community of people strong enough to resist the incredibly unhealthy tide, and more importantly see through it. If I had not been able to make contact with, and establish this community, my life, safety and freedom, would have been directly affected as well as the lives, safety and freedom of my family. Failure to create a non toxic, non exploitative environment was not an option.
As my potential to work, and therefore earn freely, was being threatened, I did whatever needed to be done in order to insulate my family from the climate of hostility, false entitlement, manipulation, racial prejudice, sexism and ageism that I was surrounded by. This was absolutely critical while trying to find and establish a new and very necessary community of healthy people, and also heal and detoxify myself and my family while raising my young children.
There were no exotic trips, no fleet of cars, just an all out war for safety, integrity, wholeness and health, without mistreatment denial, and/or exploitation. In order to liberate myself from those who found it ok to oppose my wholeness, free speech and integral growth by inflicting different forms of punitive action against it, I used my resources to sustain our safety and survival until I was able to restore my ability to earn outside of it!
When artists experience danger and crisis under the effects of this kind of insidious manipulation, everyone easily accepts that there was something either dysfunctional or defective with the artist, rather than look at, and fully examine, the system and its means and policies of exploiting/’doing business’. Not only is this unrealistic, it is very dark in its motivation, conveniently targeting the object of their hero worship by removing any evidence that they ‘needed’ or celebrated this very same resource just years, months or moments before. Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.
It was this schism and the hypocrisy, violence and social cannibalism it enabled, that I wanted and needed to be freed from, not from art or music, but the suppression/repression and reduction of that art and music to a bottom line alone, without regard for anything else. Over-commercialization and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual. I Love making art, I Love making music, these are as natural and necessary for me almost as breathing or talking. To be denied the right to pursue it according to my ability, as well as be properly acknowledged and compensated for it, in an attempt to control, is manipulation directed at my most basic rights! These forms of expression, along with others, effectively comprise my free speech! Defending, preserving, and protecting these rights are critically important, especially in a paradigm where veiled racism, sexism, ageism, nepotism, and deliberate economic control are still blatant realities!!!
Learning from the past, insulating friends and family from the influence of external manipulation and corruption, is far more important to me than being misunderstood for a season! I did not deliberately abandon my fans, nor did I deliberately abandon any responsibilities, but I did however put my safety, health and freedom and the freedom, safety and health of my family first over all other material concerns! I also embraced my right to resist a system intentionally opposing my right to whole and integral survival.
I conveyed all of this when questioned as to why I did not file taxes during this time period. Obviously, the danger I faced was not accepted as reasonable grounds for deferring my tax payments, as authorities, who despite being told all of this, still chose to pursue action against me, as opposed to finding an alternative solution.
My intention has always been to get this situation rectified. When I was working consistently without being affected by the interferences mentioned above, I filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.
As this, and other areas of issue are resolved and set straight, I am able to get back to doing what I should be doing, the way it should be done. This is part of that process. To those supporters who were told that I abandoned them, that is untrue. I abandoned greed, corruption, and compromise, never you, and never the artistic gifts and abilities that sustained me.”
As it is always the case when celebrities reject and pull away from the industry, Hill has been often portrayed as crazy and unstable in the media. However, those who know about the dark side of the industry know that Hill did the only SANE thing one can do in her situation: Get out.
You ever notice how celebrities have breakdowns, their public image is tarnished, the media blame their deaths on "overdoses of drugs", "cancer", "car crashes", "freak accidents" things like that. Very famous celebrity couples divorce and fight in nasty trials. Some celebrities have "flop" periods where their work or music doesn't do so well. This is because they are trying to break free of their programming and warn you. Most celeb's are reprogrammed when they are hospitalized for things like "exhaustion", or "drug addiction". They have a big "comeback" where all their work and things start to sell and they become famous again. They were reprogrammed and rewarded for complying. Wake up and notice these things they aren't as they seem at first.
Post some examples of things like this you see with your faves or celebrities in the media.
Mods PLEASE don't close this thread i'm trying to make a point
I used to be a big beyonce stan until i finally woke up and realized the messages and imagery she was sending through her music and career as a whole. She's married to Jay-z who is a known freemason. This stuff is so obvious in your faces and people are blinded to it. The media has programmed you to believe this stuff is normal it's not. Why do all big artists call their fans things like "Rihanna Navy" "Beyhive" "The Army" "Barbs, Ken Barbs" "It's dead in your faces they are using you unwillingly.
Also BYE GIRL at Lauryn blaming ha tax problems on the Illuminati.
This is exactly what they want you to think. They programmed you to make it look like she's crazy. She's not. She said she paid her taxes, only when she tried to leave and get out and warn people the government claimed she owed all that money and now they are trying to lock her up. It's all a conspiracy.

Girl, this is all stale tea straight out of '08. No one takes it that seriously or are affected by these alleged hidden messages and signs. It's music and that's it. Have you ever thought that maybe these videos and sites dedicated to "exposing" the music industry were made to brainwash the viewer as opposed to helping the viewer see what's allegedly going on? It's like after someone gets done watching one of these videos or reading something about the Illuminati and music industry, they automatically believe whatever's presented in them.
As for those names that our favs refer to us as, for the most the stans are the ones who came up with those names.
And once again, why aren't these albums selling more than what they are? Since we're being brainwashed by the music, shouldn't we be jumping at the chance to buy as much as we can? They want to keep us controlled, so it'd only make since for us to keep buying more music from the artists they're using and not just out favs. On top of that, why not make it even easier by allowing us to download it for free with no consequences?
Oh, and they'd also use artists who can reach all kinds of people. For the most part, Jay-Z is NOT reaching people who don't listen to rap.
Oh, and you might want to stop stanning for Frank Ocean. He's affiliated with Beyoncé, Jay-Z, & and Kanye.
The Lyrics says it all if you analyze them closely
I don't think Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna either. He was framed by the illuminati because he found out about rihanna and the industry. Or she tried to get him to join and he wasn't having it and he did assault her. Chris had a HUGE backlash since then. Rihanna stans HATE him. The media made everybody turn against him. Remember he performed for mj at the bet awards & started crying. They even tried to say it wasn't geniune. This **** is serious.

Frank Ocean is affiliated with Jay-Z & Beyonce and some of the top people in the industry. He made channel orange about the industry. Why did he drop it a week early? Why is Target not going to carry his album? It's clear as day. Some albums don't sell good or flop because the artists break free from their programming or try to expose or get out of the illuminati. The only way is death.
