This past week, the Des Moines Register has put out a report that claims Des Moines, Iowa is in the top 100 Cities for Human Trafficking. In fact, a man was arrested at a gas station within the Des Moines metro area trying to get a woman into a van as recently as May..

This brings us to what is influencing this culture. We can’t say for sure that any one event or person is responsible however it is a combination of a many factors that come with a growing population, which Des Moines has experienced in the past few years.

Even as of last year Des Moines experienced a record-setting amount of gun related deaths. Although these growing pains can be compared directly to other growing areas and cities with crime, it’s important to look at the potential causes in the break down of moral living.

Die.inc aka 515 Alive Music Festival over the course of it’s 15+ year journey has experienced a major boom, especially after being acquired by Rajan Devan and Dan Green. They have effectively increased the size of the event from a few thousand to 10,000-12,000 thousand on any given night during it’s two-day stint.

The event itself is a music festival, mainly of EDM and Hip-Hop, an all ages event, and generally is known for being loud, colorful, and something that is bringing “life” back into the culture and atmosphere. While this may be the opinion of some, there are also some very mysterious things potentially lurking behind this event that may not make it so innocent.

*Datsik & Space Jesus Sexual Harassment Claims

Earlier this year, the artist Datsik was accused and exposed for sexually harassing several girls under the influence of drugs, even digging up old tweets in which he jokes about it.

The day this all came to fruition was the day First Fleet Concerts & Dan Green had a show with Datsik in Des Moines planned out, they cancelled the show hours after it became viral.

This was far from the first time First Fleet Concerts and Dan Green brought Datsik here, in fact we have found at least 5 other concerts and music events related with First Fleet Concerts including 515 Alive 2014 where Datsik was the main act headlining the bill.

Not only was Datsik accused, but so was an artist by the name of Space Jesus. He has been booked several times in the past by Dan Green, including this year where is he played an event called “Kosmic Kingdom” and an upcoming event 515 Alive 2018 where Space Jesus is a main headliner on the line-up.

*Questionable Reviews

Many of the 515 Alive Facebook reviews are positive, however, there are some that stand out and in someways may correlate with the participants and even minors called out specifically for using drugs, meth being singled out by several. Screenshot of Reviews Below:

*Anti-Trump Imagery

In one picture taken at 515 Alive 2017 where hack political activist and hypocritical peace preacher Grant “Griz” has a meme picture of him drop kicking Trump’s head, projected over the crowd. This is probably is far and from the first time these artists engage in hateful rhetoric.

You can also see a cut-out totem pole of the owner of Populist Wire with a “Make Farley Great Again” written below with his face on the flip side.

*Potential Pedophilia Symbolism

Here’s where things get a little weird. On the main festival flyer in the upper left hand corner, there are two completely random pieces of food just floating in mid-air below an eye. One of a Hot Dog and the other a Piece of Pizza.

If you don’t know by now, reports that both Hot Dogs and Pizza are both symbols for pedophilia in regards to the preference between boys and girls according dark-web investigators, relating to wiki-leaks emails.

All we ask is, why such random placement of two very obscure pieces of food?

*Our Analysis

We can’t say for sure if the increase of de-moralization in the Des Moines area is caused by any one single event, however, it is rather a combination of many events and an ever growing nihilistic culture that is subjecting itself to harm by not questioning the very alluring culture of music, drugs, and overall an image of partying.

We suggest parents be aware of what events their kids go to, question your local music promoters, media, establishment figures because sometimes it us to the people to protect each other from the moral-less culture.
