SATIN ALIVE AND WELL IN “UTOPIA”
JC
I’m not sure what this next story about U.S rap artist Travis Scott’s cancelled Egyptian tour is all about, but it strangely interfaces with our normal C&C coverage topics in two places. Here’s the headline, from I24 News: “Egypt cancels Travis Scott pyramid concert claiming he is a ‘Freemason’.” The sub-headline provided more detail: “Egyptian authorities prevented the American rap sensation from performing near the Giza pyramids because he ‘performs Satanic rites during his shows’.”
Well, at least the Egyptians care.
It’s a bizarre story all by itself, but the rap artist had also recently appeared here in C&C, due to his 2021 Astroworld performance. The show rapidly became a mass casualty event with at least 8 people dead plus an unknown number of cardiac arrests and other medical incidents — the first of several recent, mysterious mass casualty events. Unlike the more recent examples, Travis’s 2021 show did, as the Egyptians noted, feature occult and Satanic themes, and I’m baffled why this type of thing is considered tolerable nowadays and no longer grounds for being immediately driven out of polite society here in the United States.
The second interesting connection was that Scott’s now-cancelled Egyptian performance was intended launch his new album, “Utopia.” That is curious because, as mentioned in C&C several times over the last couple years, ‘Utopia’ was also the name of the prophetic but ultra-violent 2020 television show starring John Cusack as a genocidal maniac who engineered a fake virus followed by a cabal-led depopulation event, delivered via vaccine, intended to save the Earth’s delicate climate. I’m sure that doesn’t sound familiar at all. 2020’s HBO version of Utopia, which only ran for a single season during the first year of the pandemic, prior to the vaccine rollout, itself sprang from an original BBC show by the same name that ran 2012-2014.
Ironically, Utopia’s gimmick was that the cabal disclosed its plans ahead of time — in the media — through a comic-book series. If you don’t get the irony, just think about it for a second.

Anyway, it just seems weird that, after experiencing the Astroworld disaster, including civil lawsuits and a grand jury proceeding, the rap artist would choose “Utopia” as his new album name. He clearly doesn’t mean “utopia” in any positive, uplifting way: the man was just canceled by Egypt for Satanism.
I have no idea what it all means. But I thought it was an interesting confluence of covid concepts. Maybe you guys can tie it all together in the comments.
