“The butterfly net” is another term used in monarch programming to describe the victim’s inescapable circumstances. The concept is difficult to explain but can be thought of as an octopus that stretches out its tentacles and lays claim to every spiritually sacred and religious experience the victim has ever encountered. It’s a form of highway robbery where all those signs and connections that lead a person toward their destiny are stolen by an unseen driver. All those impossible coincidences that the victim took as signs from God or answered prayers are caught up into the butterfly net. The hidden handlers are like weaving spiders that form webs of deception around victims’ lives making it nearly impossible to separate the real from the fake, the good from the bad, or the wheat from the tares.

In Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus tells his disciples the parable of the wheat and the tares. He compares the kingdom of heaven to a man who sows good seed in his field, but while the man slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat. The man then tells his servants to wait until harvest time to separate the two, lest they root up the wheat with the tares.

“Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.” (Matthew 13:30 KJV)

Although this parable is thought to be a reference to judgment day when God shall separate the sheep from the goats, it’s also a good example of how the spiritual deception plays out in victims’ lives. The wheat is nearly indistinguishable from the weeds, just as the workings of the hidden handlers are almost identical to the workings of God. Another good example is found in the Book of Exodus. Pharaoh’s magicians act as copycats by turning their rods into serpents after Moses and his brother Aaron performed the same act through God’s will.

“Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.” (Exodus 7:11-12 KJV)

This mimicry is repeated again with the plague of the frogs and the rivers of blood until Pharaoh’s magicians finally admit defeat and declare, “This is the finger of God.” In the end, God will once again demolish the magicians, the sorcerers, and the enchanters who harvest the powers of the spiritual realm to control mankind.

Monarch programming is the interweaving of the spirit world with the material world. Butterflies are symbolic of lesser gods who feed off human hosts like vampires. By taking over the wheel and mimicking the workings of God, these hidden handlers weave their webs and eventually replace God altogether in the lives of victims. It is, quite possibly, the evil net spoken of in Ecclesiastes 9:12.    

“For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.” (Ecclesiastes 9:12 KJV)

In I Am Legend, Dr. Neville discovers the cure to the virus on September 9, 2012, a date that corresponds with Ecclesiastes 9:12. The evil net has been cast and sudden darkness has fallen upon mankind until Neville saves them with his blood and leads them to the light. “We are his legacy. This is his legend. Light up the darkness.” Up is down, dark is light, and Lucifer is the true savior of mankind—so the deception will have you believe. In the world of pop culture, this evil net is often symbolized by a birdcage.

The pictures featured below are from Marie-Helene de Rothschild’s Surrealist Ball in 1972. Attendees arrived in costumes, many of whom incorporated birdcages into them. The woman featured below wears a lizard pinned to her dress that is positioned towards her throat symbolizing the baptism of fire that victims experience. The green apple dangling from a vine in front of her face not only signifies the forbidden fruit, but is also a replication of a surrealist painting titled “The Son of Man” or “A Taste of the Invisible.”

Surrealist artist Rene Magritte painted the “The Son of Man” in 1946 as part of a series that included “Man in a Bowler Hat” and “A Taste of the Invisible.” When describing the painting, Magritte himself revealed that he was conceptualizing the hidden vs. the visible, or more specifically, the spiritual world vs. the material world:

“At least it hides the face partly well, so you have the apparent face, the apple, hiding the visible but hidden, the face of the person. It’s something that happens constantly. Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present.” (Rene Magritte)


“The visible that is hidden” is the apple and the birdcage. It’s the workings of the hidden handlers, the evil net that traps its victims in an invisible birdcage. The apple covers the man’s face just as the butterfly covers the woman’s face in the poster from I Am Legend, both works of art symbolizing the convergence of man with a lesser god or a beast. Victims’ lives disintegrate into a confusing collage of absurd coincidences, illogical patterns and illusionary phenomena making it nearly impossible to see the forest for the trees. Like rats in a maze, they’re forever lost in a seemingly normal world that (in their mind’s eye) is anything but normal. It is a taste of the invisible where dream meets reality, a surreal experience that is nothing short of a nightmare. Through sins of fornication and drunkenness/drug use, the unseen handlers are able to infiltrate the victim’s physical body without permission and without the victim realizing until it is too late.

The religious connotations are difficult to overlook in Rene Magritte’s series of paintings. The title alone, “The Son of Man” implies that Magritte was not only referring to that which is hidden, but more specifically, to God. Jesus is referred to as the Son of Man in the New Testament, a phrase that is not a subtraction of deity, but rather an addition of humanity or God in human form. Magritte’s painting, however, suggests the exact opposite. It seems to imply the fulfillment of the serpent’s lie in the Garden of Eden that man shall become as gods after eating the forbidden fruit. One could even reason that through monarch programming mankind shall eventually become gods. The paintings also suggest that Jesus is not the Son of God, but rather, a victim of monarch programming himself, or a son of the gods. This is not an original idea, however, as Jesus was accused of having devils when he performed miracles and cast out devils, to which Jesus responded, “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”  

In the painting titled “Man in a Bowler Hat,” a dove is used in place of the apple over the man’s face. The dove, of course, is a symbol of the Holy Spirit in Christianity and is used in the Bible during Jesus’ baptism to represent the Spirit of God.

“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17 KJV)

Thus, Magritte’s painting provides another aspect into monarch programming which is the victim’s exposure to the spirit world. After Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened up to him and he saw the spirit of God descend like a dove. In direct contrast, after victims experience (what can only be described as a baptism of fire), the spirit world is opened up to them, but instead of receiving the spirit of God they receive the exact opposite. Every aspect of monarch programming mimics God’s Word, from the Old Testament to the New Testament; it is a system designed to steal souls, and it doesn’t take long for victims to lose faith completely. Rene Magritte, much like thousands of other victims, was a known agnostic.
