Clothing company Balenciaga recently published a series of ad-images featuring children with BDSM stuffed animals, leashes, collars, caution tape, candles, wine glasses and rainbows. The implications were clear; drugged out or drunk children, bound, and prepared as gifts. In fact, the original press release for the ad says photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s work was part of a series called TOY STORIES, or an exploration into what people collect and receive as gifts. Galimberti said he was only hired to shoot and had no say in the direction of the shoot. Balenciaga likewise claims innocence, even filing a $25 million suit against the production company North Six and set designer Nicholas De Jardins. After apologizing and pulling down the bondage, torture, and rape ad, the company then replaced it with an ad that had even darker undertones. A woman with a hand bag sitting at a desk seems harmless enough, but books on the desk imply something more; a copy of Michaël Borremans’ work and a copy Matthew Barny’s work. Borremans is a BELGIUM artist known for his paintings depicting cannibalism, tortured children, figures in dark robes, bloody rituals, and pedophilia. Barny’s work is more scientific in that his Cremaster Cycle films and art are reference to the cremaster muscle which regulates the testis, sperm, etc. The original Balenciaga ad-campaign also featured underneath of a hand bag a copy of Ashcroft vs. Free Speech Coalition, a SCOTUS decision making simulated child pornography legal.

The use of teddy bears in bondage gear and the dazed big-eyed looks of the children shares a relationship with Fashion Nova advertisements from 2020 when that company promoted small children - three years old - dressed like adults. They wore sunglasses to cover their bruised eyes and one wore a panda purse, yet another reference to ‘teddy bear’ eyes, i.e., large dilated pupils, and ‘panda eyes’, i.e., the use of dark makeup that runs during sexual activity.

It should be no surprise that the demon-spirit Ba’al, god of the covenant, is akin to YHWH, who demanded human sacrifice, particularly of children; thus making him akin to Moloch.
