As a musician, I have always looked to Mike Usinger for an honest editorial review on the big acts that play here [“West desperate to be liked”, October 17-24]. No journalist south of the border would have the balls to write an honest piece calling Kanye out on his grotesque behaviour.

But I am writing in response to Angelica Poversky’s letter you published under the headline “Miley Cyrus is just seeking attention with her twerking”.

It is about time somebody threw the gauntlet down. I have spent the past 15 years doing critical research on the Illuminati in the music industry. Miley Cyrus is not just seeking attention. Dare to suspend all preconceived ideologies and connect the dots. The fact is that satanic ritual abuse and Luciferian worship is at the centre of everything she does.

So, please Vancouver, can we be honest and wake up?
