This article, “Radiohead: Spook Babies” by Ana Friday, argues that the band radiohead and their music were part of a deliberate plan to manipulate popular music and society, particularly from the 1990s onward. The author contends that the perceived decline of genuine artistry in popular music, which began in the late 20th century, was orchestrated by a controlling element, which the author refers to as “Jews” and “Intelligence.” The article traces radiohead’s career, suggesting that their early hits like “Creep” were designed to instill self-loathing and consumerism in young men. It further claims that the band’s subsequent albums, including The Bends and OK Computer, continued to push a divisive social agenda (“Split-the-Sexes shtick”) and Operation Chaos projects, even as the band allegedly began to distance themselves from their handlers, as evidenced by lyrics on “Karma Police.” The author posits that radiohead’s initial success and career trajectory were not organic but rather a result of their privileged backgrounds and connections within the British elite and music industry. The article delves into the alleged aristocratic and potentially Jewish heritage of lead singer Thom Yorke, linking him to peerage families like the Yorkes of the peerage and Earls of Hardwicke, and suggesting his father’s career was tied to Naval Intelligence. It also connects Jonny Greenwood and Colin Greenwood to the Jardine & Matheson trading company, the British East India Company, and the Benda musical family, implying a shared aristocratic and possibly Jewish lineage among band members, predating their meeting at Abingdon School. The author criticizes radiohead’s music for lacking melody and promoting negativity, but acknowledges Thom Yorke’s personal growth and a shift towards more genuine songwriting. The article concludes by touching on alternative theories of Thom Yorke being a victim of monarch programming and ritual child abuse, but ultimately dismisses them in favor of the author’s central argument of elite control and manipulation through music, referencing masonic symbolism as evidence of their allegiances.
