Britney's Law and The #FreeBritney Movement
How Britney Spears is connected to most major conspiracy theories- no really!
There is no shortage of odd synchronicities that come up during my research. When you investigate the hidden history of the world, you become accustomed to the bizarre, and you expect to find unlikely connections. Studying secret societies, espionage, the occult, and the network of people and ideas who have driven history behind the glossy veneer of the official narrative is an experiment in mental fortitude. That’s a fancy way of saying I’ve seen some sh*t. But I was not prepared for what I found when I began working on a project about the #FreeBritney movement with author and researcher Jamie Hanshaw for her YouTube channel.
Jamie and I met in Nashville last month at an event where she was speaking with her husband, author Jay Dyer. Jamie gave a brilliant presentation on Hollywood technocrats called “The All-Seeing A.I.” Our dinner conversation turned to the strange posts on Instagram about pop icon Britney Spears’ recent wedding and the symbolic imagery therein. Jamie has been researching pop culture connections to the esoteric for many years. Her book, Hollywood Mind Control, is an authoritative work on how pop culture is created and used to influence the masses. The presentation she gave in Nashville had a lot of crossover with my work on the occult roots of feminism, so we had a lot to talk about. She asked if I would like to do a show on her channel about Britney, and I happily agreed. We both dug into research in preparation for what we thought would be one 90-minute show, which turned out to be a 3-part series totaling over 6 hours. During our research, we developed a working theory of Britney being the subject of some sort of mind control programming. Both of us have an extensive background in researching MK Ultra and other trauma-based mind control programs, and everything we found about Britney fit this theory. They say that there are no more than six degrees of separation between Kevin Bacon and any other figure in Hollywood. This is known as Bacon’s Law. I am now going to coin a new phrase called “Britney’s Law.” You’ll understand why as you journey down the #FreeBritney rabbit hole with me.
To provide context for our theory, we started with Britney’s humble beginnings in small town Louisiana. Britney’s parents, Jamie and Lynn Spears had a tumultuous marriage and financial struggles. Britney’s father, Jamie, had a problem with alcohol which caused frequent fights. Despite this, the family somehow found money and time to put Britney in dance, gymnastics, and singing lessons starting at age 3. Britney was also in pageants and talent shows, traveling as far as Atlanta, New York, and L.A. to audition for shows like Star Search and The Mickey Mouse Club. At one point, Britney was enrolled in Bella Karolyi’s prestigious and expensive gymnastics program. She also had expensive cosmetic dental work done. There is no obvious explanation for how a family of 5 was able to afford all of this when Britney’s mom worked part-time as a daycare teacher and her father struggled to hold down a job.
Britney was chosen to be part of the cast of Disney’s revival of the Mickey Mouse Club in 1993. This was no ordinary children’s show cast. It included future superstars Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Keri Russell, Ryan Gosling and NSYNC member JC Chasez. It is reported that the cast only made $185 per week, so this would hardly cover the cost of Britney and her mom staying in L.A. for 13 weeks of filming let alone all the other expenses I just mentioned.
Things were dire enough financially that Britney’s family filed for bankruptcy in 1997. However, by a brilliant stroke of sheer luck, Britney got her big break and was signed to Jive Records immediately after the bankruptcy. Britney’s debut album, “… Baby One More Time” was a record-breaking smash, and the Spears’ family’s financial woes were over. Their investment paid off, but I would speculate that there must have been quiet investors helping to fund 12 long years of making little Britney into a pop mega star. I’m not sure that we will ever know how the Spears family funded the making of Britney, but it’s relevant to how things unfolded over the next 20 years.
I’m not going to make you read through an entire bio of Britney’s life here. There are dozens of places you can find that. The reason it’s important to know about Britney’s childhood is that it could explain how she might have become the victim of mind control programming. The information we have on how people are recruited into these programs fits with what we know about the Spears family. When the CIA and their affiliates were looking for MK Ultra test subjects, they often chose vulnerable people, those who wouldn’t be missed. This included people who were already institutionalized in psych wards, children’s homes, hospitals, and prisons as well as the homeless and members of the military. Military service can be a big clue when trying to find the possible source of a subject’s participation in mind control programs, since MK Ultra itself has its roots in the second World War and the Korean War. As the Korean War drew to a close in 1953, the New York Times published a story which told of POWs returning from Korea swearing allegiance to communism and denouncing the United States. The article alleged that these veterans had been “brainwashed” by communist captors. This is often cited as the reason MK Ultra was started by the CIA just a few weeks later.
Britney’s paternal grandfather, June Austin Spears, was an Air Force veteran of the Korean War. Upon returning home from the war, “Papa June” as he was called, became a police officer with the Baton Rouge Police and was also a member of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, NTL (IBB). The IBB is a very large and powerful union which has been accused of having mob ties. The IBB was the subject of a Congressional investigation for corruption based on allegations that were first presented to the Labor Department's Organized Crime and Racketeering Section in Pittsburgh in 1979. They have a long-running feud with the Kansas City Star newspaper, which has connected them with the infamous Kansas City Mafia, who was caught by the FBI skimming casino money in Las Vegas under Operation Strawman in the late 1970’s, which will also become relevant later. Could Papa June’s connections explain how Britney could have ended up as a subject of mind control programming? Well, there’s another interesting piece of the Spears family puzzle here.
In a 2021 interview with Jamie Spears’ half-brother and half-sister published in the New York Post, John-Mark Spears and Leigh Ann Spears-Wrather both allege that the father they share with Jamie was abusive to his 3 wives and 10 children. The pair had a lot to say about “Papa June,” Britney’s paternal grandfather, including that he beat his wives and had them locked up in mental hospitals when they were not obedient. Leigh Ann also states that her mother, Papa June’s second wife, was put on lithium during one of her psych hospital stays just like Britney. Leigh Ann says she was molested by Papa June, who died in 2012, from the age of 11 until she ran away from home at 16. As if that weren’t bad enough, both say they are skeptical about the official story of how Papa June’s first wife died. The official story is that Jamie’s mother, Emma Jean, killed herself with a shotgun on the grave of her infant son in 1966. Apparently, even at the time of the suspicious death, there was widespread speculation that someone may have murdered Emma Jean. Papa June was the one who suggested suicide to the police, citing her stays at Mandeville State Mental Hospital as proof that she was suicidal. Don’t forget that Papa June had spent time as a police officer, so this could have made the police reluctant to investigate him further. Emma Jean’s baby had died 8 years prior, so the grief was not fresh. Curiously, the police said she must have shot herself in the chest with a shotgun by somehow holding it to her chest and pulling the trigger with her toe. Could it be that Emma Jean was eliminated because she had been experimented upon in the psychiatric hospital? Was she going to reveal what had happened? A doctor named Robert G. Heath was conducting MK Ultra experiments in multiple psychiatric hospitals via Tulane University around the area at the time- from 1953 until at least 1981. It’s certainly possible.
