Does the illuminati/freemasons/scientologists run the industry and only allow certain people in?
Saying its Illuminati and Freemasons is not a good way of asking the question, there are probably a few members of the skate community that are Freemasons or members of a lodge at a low level. To be involved at the level your thinking of, like actually doing sketchy shit usually starts at some sort of professional level, like police, doctors, lawyers and politicians. Skaters, whilst having an Instagram following aren't going to change a large scale event.
The 2 that come to mind in terms of their net worth would be Rob Dyrdek and Tony Hawk, im not saying they are but IF anyone was involved in some way these guys could possibly be because they have influence over many. If anything I'd be looking at the big corps like Monster, Red Bull, Nike and Adidas, these companies have ruthless tactics in other sports to monopolize profits and talent so why don't you research the CEO's of the companies and owing companies, maybe you'll find something there.
Jason Lee's wife alluded to this. Are Berra and Koston doing weird rituals for Nike checks?
Lee made it into the acting world and Berra wanted to but failed, even married an actress, lots of actors are Scientologists, it's their way of networking, Tom Cruise and co can probably help them get work. Any proof of these weird rituals? Koston is a kook with a good amount of cash, probably prefers the back 9 to switch crooking a ledge these days. These guys have been in the skate media for a long time and have gone to great lengths to stay relevant.
As for the logos, skate companies like to play on the conspiracy theory stuff, Alien Workshop and so on, art guys are just trying to do whats cool and what they think will sell, I doubt they're being approached or paid to add subliminal messages to logos, skaters are already zonked out enough as it is, it serves no purpose.
