A list was circulated with 17 American cities to remove yourself from. No reason given. Is this paid-for protest the reason?

Unmasking the Illusion: The War Against Elon Musk is a War Against the Uncontrolled Mind
(My emphasis used in the article.)
The recent global wave of outrage directed at Elon Musk is not about environmental ethics, social justice, or public good. It is a ritual, a crafted narrative, a Hermetic inversion meant to ensnare the unconscious and stifle awakening.
The Tesla CEO’s true crime? Not pollution, not corruption—but defiance. Defiance of entrenched power. Defiance of narratives. Defiance of the illusion itself.
What we are witnessing is not organic protest. It is strategic psychological warfare, dressed in the garb of morality.
When citizens from countries with no vested interest in American federal staffing decisions suddenly rise in protest, the discerning eye must ask: Who benefits? Who funds it? Who shapes the narrative? Because truth does not organize mobs across continents—control does.
Let us remember the Hermetic principle of Correspondence: As above, so below. In the macrocosm of society, just like within the individual, when something threatens the false structures we’ve been conditioned to worship—be it false gods, false science, false authority—the reaction is not reasoned debate but programmed hostility. Those who challenge the illusion are met not with inquiry but with orchestrated outrage.
Musk was once hailed as a climate savior. He brought electric vehicles into the mainstream, developed solar energy solutions, built battery storage infrastructure—tools the “green” movement once championed. And now? He is vilified, Tesla vehicles torched, and his name dragged through digital fires.
Why? Because the green movement was never truly about green. It was about control cloaked in virtue. The same virtue-signaling machine that cries “Save the Earth” now burns the very vehicles it once praised. This is not a contradiction—it is a revelation. The moment Musk stepped beyond the scripted role of savior and into the role of independent thinker, he became the enemy.
The backlash did not come when he built rockets or electric cars. It came when he bought a digital public square and opened the gates of speech. When he exposed censorship. When he became, not a puppet, but a mirror—and mirrors are dangerous to illusions.
Let us also reflect on the Hermetic principle of Polarity: everything contains its opposite. Musk is called a fascist by those enforcing ideological conformity. He is branded authoritarian by those who silence dissent. This inversion is not ignorance—it is intentional sorcery. Words are spells, and the masses are enchanted daily. When labels lose their meaning, truth is obscured and tyranny walks in dressed as righteousness.
This isn’t about Musk.
This is about anyone who dares to break from the hive mind.
Anyone who dares to challenge the Priesthood of Approved Thought.
Anyone who, like Hermes, dares to descend into the underworld of chaos and return with light.
We, who study the Hermetic path, must see this clearly. The stagecraft is obvious to those with eyes to see. These protests are not organic—they are manufactured. This is not justice—it is perception management. It is not activism—it is alchemy used in reverse, meant to transmute awareness into submission.
Ask yourselves:
- Are these “activists” saving the Earth or serving a spell?
- Are these narratives birthed from grassroots voices, or broadcast from towers of control
- And most importantly: Are we so entranced by personality that we sabotage progress just because we dislike the vessel of its delivery?
The Hermetic Path teaches us that the All is Mind—and thus, the battlefield is the mind itself.
If they can take a man who once embodied “progress” and transmute him into a “threat,” they can do the same with any of us. The moment you speak truth that deviates from the script, you become the villain in someone else’s movie.
To this sacred group, I say this:
We are not here to cheer for personalities or worship men—we are here to observe the patterns, understand the energetic currents, and stand aligned with truth, principle, and discernment.
What’s happening to Musk is not a political issue. It is a Hermetic warning: Do not let the illusion define your enemies. Because if they can make him the monster today, they will make you one tomorrow.
The war is not over facts. It’s over who gets to shape reality.
And in this battle, our greatest weapon is consciousness unshackled.
