“Rock Leads to Abortion and Satanism,” Says Brazil’s New Arts Foundation President

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Maestro and now president of FUNARTE, Dante Mantovani is also a Youtuber. On the Dante Mantovani channel, with over 6,000 subscribers, the new government official usually clears up doubts about classical music, but seizes the opportunity to practice one of YouTube’s favorite sports: sharing conspiracy theories.

The channel remains on the air, unlike Mantovani’s profiles on other social media, which were excluded last week, before the announcement that he would take over FUNARTE (National Arts Foundation).

In a video, the maestro, a student of right-wing ideologist Olavo de Carvalho, endorses theories that communist agents infiltrated in the CIA were commissioned to distribute LSD among youths at Woodstock. The ultimate goal, he says, would be to destroy the family, viewed as the “foundation” of capitalism.

“There is a whole infiltration of intelligence services into the US recording industry that if we don’t take into account, we won’t understand anything. The Soviet Union sent undercover agents to the United States to experiment with certain records made for children”.

“These agents would infiltrate themselves and change things, including certain elements for social engineering with children. Then they moved on to teen music,” he says, quoting as an example the emergence of Elvis Presley in the 1950s.

Next, Mantovani mentions Woodstock and says that the Beatles “put into practice the ideas of the Frankfurt School”, which, according to him, wanted to destroy Western culture.

“Woodstock was that festival of the 60s that gathered a lot of people, the hippies using drugs, including LSD, there are certain indications that the large-scale distribution of LSD was carried out by the CIA. But how by the CIA? There were infiltrators from the Soviet service there,” says the maestro, and then concluded:

“And rock music triggers the drugs that trigger sex that triggers the abortion industry. The abortion industry, in turn, feeds something much heavier, which is Satanism. John Lennon himself said he had made a pact with the devil”.

The maestro argues that rock music leads to Satanism, but said he follows two bands of the genre: Metallica and Angra.
