Part 1 :SECRET SOCIETIES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE..Nature Or Gnosis? Divine Creation and Its Counterfeit ..Satan is the Ape of God

SECRET SOCIETIES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE

by Michael A. Hoffman II

Preface 
"The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." 
-Proverbs 9:10 

Some scholars who spend time in a study of the occult may come away from their research struck by the delusion that diabolical forces have become more powerful than God. 

The fact is, God permits evil as a punishment for transgression against His Laws and Statutes. If the demonic seems to have ever greater energy in our time, it is only because we live in an era more ignorant and arrogant than any other in history. 

Our people are drowning in the fraud dispensed by the public schools, the corporate media, socialistic bureaucrats and phony churchmen. We are inundated by military madness, violent crime, birth control, abortion, feminist careerism and the erosion of the Patriarchal headship principle of the Bible; the abandonment of elderly parents, the destruction of the innocence of children by constant exposure to televised misery and degradation; the deliberate falsification of the teachings of Christ by pastors who seek to avoid the persecution His servants must face (John 15:20), and who thereby suppress those New Testament truths which the rulers and powers of this world find offensive. 

Millions of men and women who, just twenty years ago, were decent, caring, family and community-oriented Christian people, are now alchemically transformed into beasts who care for nothing but money and television. 

We modern people are incurring the wrath of God. The cup of that wrath is filling up. God's vengeance and punishment will make any Satanic terror or supposed "power," seem like a farce staged in a playpen, by comparison. AIDS and other unimaginably potent plagues are multiplying. The weather is becoming hostile. Even the sky is shedding its protective canopy of ozone. Scripture says the fear of the Lord, not the fear of the devil, is the beginning of wisdom. 

There is hope, however. Our nation, so polluted and sick, can be renewed and purified: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 
 Chronicles 7:14). 
For true Christians, the victory is already won, a victory that was designed from the beginning of time: "Come ye blessed of my father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." 
(Matthew 25:34). 

The key to partaking of the victory, is the grace of God by faith in Jesus Christ and the living of that faith as Christian separatists: "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you." 
(2nd Corinthians 6:17). 

Nature Or Gnosis? 
Divine Creation and Its Counterfeit 
A description of Anthony Shaeffer's protagonist in the film The Wicker Man: "...tearing around in dizzying circles trying to 'solve' it, never able to guess the true plot beyond it although the evidence of it lies all around him." 
—Cinefantastique. 

"Almost all people of all eras are hypnotics. Their beliefs are induced beliefs. The proper authorities saw to it that the proper belief should be induced, and people believed properly."
— Charles Hoy Fort 

"As the mountebank delivered his harangue, the clown would repeatedly poke his head out from behind the curtain, making fun of everything his master said, parodying his patter and twisting the meaning of his words. The mountebank played the perfect straight man, meanwhile. Here he was, trying so hard to hawk his wares, and his own assistant was doing everything possible to undermine sales. 

"The merriment was of course intentional. While the clown seemingly encouraged the public not to buy the proffered merchandise, the mountebank knew full well that the bystanders would easily be converted into customers as soon as they forgot that they were, in fact, supposed to be buying. Once the audience had been effectively hypnotized, once its judgment and willpower had been weakened, the real sales pitch could begin..." 
—J.H. Towsen, Clowns. 

"Hoodwink: A symbol of the secrecy, silence and darkness in which the mysteries of our art should be preserved from the unhallowed gaze of the profane." 
-Dr. Albert Mackey, 33rd Degree Freemason, 
The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry. 

In a study of mind control and psychological warfare, it is not enough to simply review the latest technology of coercion, the most recent gadgetry and techno-junk littering the hardware and supply depots of governments and cults. 

Far more dangerous than these appliances is the praxis behind  them, the underground current which informs the modern project and this modern era. For life in our modern era is little more than life in an open-air mind control laboratory where a form of human alchemy has emerged to transform the mass of targeted percipients—targeted merely by virtue of their being urban dwellers plugged into the electronic and digital pageantry of the Establishment's system-of-things. 

And what sort of creature inhabits the modern domain? Who is the modern man? The puppet-masters say he is the smartest, most advanced individual to ever strut the planet, the most relatively liberated being in history. But Louis-Ferdinand Celine said it well, "What does the modern public want? It wants to go down on its knees before money and before crap!" 

The public have been trained to do this by two principle methods: direct "speaking" archetypal messages of pure terror ("psychic driving" as the CIA's Dr. Ewan Cameron termed it), encoded in massively publicized "lone nut" mass murders, and the sinister flattery heaped upon them by their masters in the cult of civilization and progress. 

The acid test of a human being's freedom and will to protect the quality of his life, lies in a person's attitude toward his oppressor. What is modern man's attitude toward Wall Street and the bankers, toward Dan Rather and the ignorance bestowing media and advertising man, toward Lincoln and Truman, FDR and Reagan, George Bush and Johnny Carson, Exxon and Monsanto? 

As one writer has observed, "The most amazing thing about the American people is that they are constantly defending their worst betrayers." Who then is the modern man? He is a mind bombed patsy who gets his marching orders from "twilight language" keywords sprinkled throughout "his" news and current events. Even as he dances to the tune of the elite managers of human behavior, he scoffs with great derision at the idea of the existence and operation of a technology of mass mind control emanating from the media and government. Modern man is much too smart to believe anything as superstitious as that! 

Modern man is the ideal hypnotic subject: puffed up on the idea that he is the crown of creation, he vehemently denies the power of the hypnotist's control over him, even as his head  bobs up and down on a string. 

What we observe in the population today are the three destructive symptoms of persons whose minds are controlled by alien forces: 
1. Amnesia, i.e. loss of memory. 
2. Abulia, i.e. loss of will. 
3. Apathy, i.e. loss of interest in events vital to one's own health and survival. 
Amnesia, abulia and apathy are nearly-universal among us today and gaining a greater foothold with each passing day. 

Japanese philosopher George Ohsawa stated that there was only one incurable sickness—arrogance. If a patient does not regard himself as sick he cannot submit to a cure. The arrogant man does not need to see—he already sees almost everything and what he thinks he has yet to learn, he believes "the experts" will one day show him. Who are these "experts"? They are not really doctors of the soul. They do not have the man's interest at heart. They are in fact his worst enemies, his most cunning manipulators who lead him to do their bidding like any slave master since Egypt. 

Flattery: The First Principle of Mind Control 
Why then does he revere them? Because they flatter him. This is the first secret of mass mind control and can be observed as the foundation stone of virtually every false religion, party, cult, philosophy, system and training. How can modern man free himself when he is told that he is already a demi-god, that the problem lies only in finding a pure enough economic or political system worthy of his high-minded brilliance? 

If we look closely we will see that this mind control principle is so basic and simple it is almost stupidly so, to the point that we marvel that anyone would be seduced by it. But it is all a matter of attention, as we saw in the parable of the mountebank and the clown. Arrogant hypno-patsies have been told by their masters that they are "Demi-gods" and demi-gods are never deceived or distracted. They're too smart! And by their arrogant self-satisfaction they blind themselves to the simplicity of the device that ensnares them and that is when "the real sales pitch begins." 

What the Alchemical managers have bred over a millennia is a human race of the most wretched stupidity and ignorance unrivaled in thousands of years. These blind slaves are told they are "free" and "highly educated" even as they march behind signs that would cause any medieval peasant to run screaming away from them in panic-stricken terror. The symbols that modern man embraces with the naive trust of an infant would be tantamount to billboards reading, "This way to your death and enslavement," to the understanding of a traditional peasant of antiquity. 

I doubt any medieval man would have much difficulty in feeling a sense of overwhelming foreboding in the face of the Soviet hammer and sickle symbol. Yet most modern, literate people obviously don't know a thing about what that symbol actually represents except on the most profane level as the implements of the farmer and the worker. 

Satan is the Ape of God 
The sickle symbolizes Saturn, also known as Chronos-Saturn or as the Greeks called it, Demiurgos, the operating engineer of the universe as opposed to the Creator of that universe. In the reign of Saturn we see exorbitant building and modeling activities and this is reflected in the masonic reference to their god as the "Big Builder" or "Architect." This sounds reasonably attractive, many of us can appreciate magnificent buildings and splendid projects along those lines but as usual there is more to it than this. 

This Saturnian-masonic "edifice-complex" ultimately is building against the grain, against nature, though at the beginning, in the early eras, nature's forces are manipulated with a knowledge which requires the greatest intimacy with her ways as reflected in the various megalithic structures in the British isles, Europe and ancient America. There is beauty, simplicity and power in this early technology and modern enthusiasts have mistaken the knowledge and sensitivity to natural forces intrinsic to this technology as indicative of a positive force at work. 

Actually, with some crucial exceptions, the rise of the megaliths marked the rise of the Hermetic Academy into its dominant physical phase. The theory is that the megaliths "pin down" natural forces, helping to subdue nature's most savage furies. We marvel today at the Hoover Dam but that symbolladen construction is but a crude parody of the technology of the  megaliths which helped to "dam" the wildest forces of nature. 

The construction of the megaliths, heralded by New Age types as marvels of ancient ingenuity and cooperation with nature are actually the first physical evidence of the end of Eden, of that period on earth when humanity lived as the servants and friends of God's natural creation, as nomads and hunter gatherers. 

The error of modern enthusiasts for what they regard as the magical, Merlinesque, harmonious time of the Druids and Stonehenge is ignorance of the fact that the historical period they idolize was itself immersed in a tampering technology and materialism which essentially marked a revolutionary break with the natural order. 

According to John Michell, "...the first revolution of Olympus marks the first deviation from the primeval ways of men...presided over by Cronus, otherwise Saturn." This revolution marks the end of man's Edenic relationship with the natural world. Hence forward man is alienated from nature by means of the Saturnian "scythe" which symbolizes the sense of separation from God's natural creation that man experienced after the Fall. 

Man began his peregrination away from Eden through his conceit that he would "become as god." Yet, as soon as he left the Divine Plan for the occult process his stated objective became the Kabbalistic tikkun olam or "repair of the world," via the intervention and imposition of human brain power—the very ego-maniacal device that caused the separation from God's natural Eden in the first place. Repair of the world indeed—a world the Kabbalists had only just ruined! 

After the Saturnian division, Hermetic man saw himself as separate and, inevitably, above nature, though always quick to identify himself as nature's benign shepherd. This mighty, occult shepherd-king figure has emerged in history under the forms of Arthur, Merlin, Pendragon, and Prestor John. He is the personification of the manipulation of nature by secret technology on behalf of a secret hierarchy which, if known at all, is always careful to present itself as the supreme friend of divine creation. 

If the expulsion from the Garden of Eden—that is to say the literal alteration of man's circumstance of living solely upon  God's bounty and providence—was the result of Satanic intervention, why has it not dawned on us that civilization is itself Satanic? (exactly!!! DC) 

In the Hermetic-masonic tradition the secret identity of Satan is the force represented in occult lore as emanating from the star Sirius, the so-called dog star, Canis major. In the secret tradition of the Freemasons, Sirius is overwhelmingly identified with a single primary attribute, the bringing of civilization to earth. 

The heirs of this magical current were saluted by the Illuminist and master-alchemist Comenius in his 1668 book The Way of Light, dedicated to the first scientific organization in Western history, Britain's august Royal Society. In it, Comenius addressed the first formal scientists as "illuminati" and outlined their scientific purpose, "...which is to secure... the empire of the human mind over matter." 

In a key Rosicrucian description of the City of Utopia it is shown to be dominated by science and mechanics and more ominously, by the medical dissection of cadavers, in other words by the hyper-analytical obsession of Rationalism with dead matter and measurement. 

The "Utopian" city of the Rosicrucians is before us today: New York and Los Angeles—Babylon the Great. And it was planned in 1668 and long before. 

We have forgotten the depth of the roots of the modern disease. We have accepted the pop-pap that anything that pre-dated the more obvious rapacity of modern industrial pollution was natural or magical (the notion of magic being identified with the pristine). Hence we have denied ourselves knowledge of the beginning of the rise of the cryptocracy. John Michell: 

"It is their immediate concern, having eaten of the tree of knowledge, to apply all their newly acquired arts to constructing a facsimile of the Garden, a model paradise..." 

But there already was an architecture prior to man's imposition of his structures and interventions, this was the architecture of the natural landscape as shaped by God. To claim that to have left it as it was would have been barbarous and backward is symptomatic of the diseased occult mind and its gigantic egotistical pathology. 

As long as it was left as God created it, it was paradise. Due to our blindness we feverishly cooperate with the imposition upon the earth of our own version of "Eden" which always ends in the creation of Babylon, of hell on earth. Historian John Michell: 

"Settlement leads to the establishment of social hierarchies, to specialization, the development of arts and sciences, the building of temples and houses. For millions of years men, essentially the same as we are now, lived without these and presumably without feeling the need for them... Tacitus described a German tribe that lived entirely without artificial shelter... the phenomenon of successive towns built around the same sacred place, the spirit of which became the foundation deity, receiving the sacrifices offered in expiation of the crime of settlement and giving the law by which the city was governed. Implicit in this law was a contract between man and God by which the first was permitted a conditional (and limited) use of land for agriculture and building in return for duties and observances paid to the second. So it was understood by the founding fathers of cities. 

"But as cities expand these limitations become more onerous and neglected with the result that, in the language of apocalypse, the ...city becomes Babylon, the parasitic whore and proceeds toward destruction. In this belief the... (traditional) element in ancient Rome objected to... expansion beyond the original city boundaries, considering it a breach of the foundation contract. 

"Such counsels were of course ignored, and in consequence Rome, following the career of all previous empires, became Babylon indeed... civilization tends to grow more elaborate and to make ever greater demands on the earth that sustains it. There comes a time when the old natural devotion to the earth... is exchanged for... the desire to increase the products of the earth by artificially stimulating its fertility. This stage is marked in history by the appearance of sun gods... divinities of reason, intellect and centralized government, whose legends refer always to their victories over dragons... (i.e. nature)." 

This policy of "artificially increasing the earth's fertility and multiplying the gifts of its spirit, instead of accepting what is given by nature," is evident in the staking of the earth in symbolism, as is seen in the motif of the knight spearing the dragon, which is sometimes viewed as the pinnacle of the  victory of light over dark. 

But we should also be aware that there is an alternate, occult reading of this image. This Arthurian symbol has been celebrated by pagans and Freemasons as a sign of man's usurpation of natural creation. The staking process is seen by them as a means to "pin down" the heretofore flowing character of the energy of creation, so as to be harnessed and bled by Stonehenge-like technology, in order to give greater and greater resources to man. Michell: 

"The appearance of the sun god signals the introduction of a technology that aims to alter the natural channels of the earth spirit and to stimulate its energies for the benefit of an increasingly large settled population... From all that has recently been discovered about the scientific knowledge and methods of the megalith builders, it appears that their system was in the magical tradition of Egypt, Babylon and the ancient East... At Delphi, by spearing the serpent and localizing its energies, Apollo raised the productivity of the oracle... Every ancient standing stone is like the omphalos in the Temple of Apollo, driven into the head of the telluric serpent current, fixing and augmenting the (earth) energies which had formerly fluctuated. 

"Yet in the end the system became onerous and ineffective, demanding at least as much from the people as it gave in return... Here is revealed the inevitable betrayal by any institutionalized system of technology of the people who have come to depend on it... The land (had) become more productive, the people richer and more numerous—until, under the influence of cyclical changes in the heavens, the flow of spirit began to withdraw from the temples and take other paths. 

"The latter-day priests, having neglected the principles of the old astronomical science by which the temples were first sited and planned, and no longer sensitive to the earth's spiritual energies, could only resort to more frantic invocations, attended by ever increasing sacrifice, in attempts to repeat the former results. And thus followed, as it has on many occasions and at many places over the world, a reaction against the artificial and ever more futile proceedings of the magicians and a return to simpler ways." 

It is at this juncture in history that the pre-Christian people  of Europe were Christianized. The willingness of these hardy, comparatively far more natural and attuned people than we moderns, to render themselves susceptible to Christianity is misunderstood today. 

The assumption is that Christianity simply deceived and coerced the hardy pre-Christian Europeans into the fold. But early Christians like St. Patrick were accepted because they rid the pagan people of what Michell terms, "the final excesses of a degenerate priesthood, whose altars demanded ever more sacrificial blood before they could evoke response" from the "earth energies." 

Michell's nostalgia for the "old astronomical science" of the Saturnian magicians who supposedly did the rituals properly, is misplaced. Manipulation is manipulation, whether clever and precise as in earlier times, or lazy and forgetful as in the era when it would be overthrown by Celtic Christianity's gospel of simplicity. 

Mr. Michell can't bring himself to unambiguously condemn the original tamperers, the ones who, after all, started the whole journey to Babylon and hell on earth in the first place. These mystical Adams and Eves are referred to by Michell as "good people" attempting to re-create heaven on earth on the Saturnian model of a "golden age." 

But John Michell ought to know that paradise existed once on earth and was destroyed by these "good people." Attempts to artificially re-build it are not only the height of artifice and insanity but also, as Arthur Machen and H.P. Lovecraft hinted, perhaps indicative of something far more ominous: preparation of the earth for reinhabitation by demonic entities once expelled. 

The mythical Satanic bringer of civilization to earth was supposed to be an alien from the star system Sirius, around whom the Egyptians and all subsequent Hermetic systems constructed their elaborate and obsessive religio-astronomic observances. This star Sirius also served as an astronomic secret code, an allegory of the illusory quality and inherent "trickiness" of the material world. 

In astronomic magnitude, Sirius is approximately thirty five times brighter than our sun. It is regarded in the highest occult circles as analogous to the "hidden god of the cosmos,"for, just as the star Sirius' true magnitude is dwarfed by the sun of our solar system by means of the illusion generated by distance, so too is the influence of Satan in the world obscured behind a welter of churches and lip-service to the teachings of Christ. 

The emblem of the All-Seeing Eye above the unfinished pyramid is the representation of the eye of Sirius, of its omniscient surveillance. 

It would be difficult to exaggerate the fanatical degree of attachment the priesthood of Egypt and all subsequent related Hermetic traditions had for Sirius. The entire calendar year of the Egyptians was based upon the rising times of this star. 

"The heliacal rising of Sirius was so important to the ancient Egyptians... that gigantic temples were constructed with their main aisles oriented precisely towards the spot on the horizon where Sirius would appear... The light of Sirius would be channeled along the corridor (due to the precise orientation) to flood the altar in the inner sanctum as if a pin-pointed spotlight had been switched on. 

"This blast of light focused from a single star was possible because of the orientation being so incredibly precise and because the temple would be otherwise in total darkness within. In a huge, utterly dark temple, the light of one star focused solely on the altar must have made quite an impact on those present. (Robert K.G. Temple, The Sirius Mystery, Futura paperback edition, p. 87). 

According to the astronomer John A. Eddy, the rock circle located near Lovell, Wyoming, known as the Big Horn Medicine Wheel is aligned with the rising of Sirius ("Astronomical Alignment of the Big Horn Medicine Wheel," Science, June 7, 1974). 

"The heliacal rising of Sirius was also important to other ancient peoples. Here is a description by the ancient Greek poet Aratus... of the rising of Sirius (often known as the Dog Star as it is in the constellation Canis, or Dog): 'The tip of his [the Dog's] terrible jaw is marked by a star that keenest of all blazes with a searing flame and him men call Sirius.' 

"Throughout Latin literature there are many references to the 'Dog Days' which followed the heliacal rising of Sirius in the summer. These hot, parched days were thought by that time  to derive some of their ferocity and dryness from the 'searing' of Sirius." (Temple, pp. 87-88). 

Further on in this study we shall see that a key ritual sacrifice intended to imprint the Group Mind of the masses of the 1970s—the Son of Sam serial murders—involved the widely disseminated claim that the "mad" killer(s) had taken orders from a dog named Sam. The capture of one of the killers in the cult, David Berkowitz, coincided with the coming of the Dog Days of summer, August, 1977. 

In Satanist Albert Pike's eighth degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the focus of worship is on the "blazing star" as symbolized by the pentagram and Pike identifies Sirius, in his Morals and Dogma, as the grand builder of architecture. 

John Michell: "The alchemists aimed to recapture the spirit of Mercurius as the mobile agent in their operations, and they spoke of 'fixing' it, using the imagery of the stake driven through the earth serpent, by which means their predecessors, alchemists of elemental cosmic forces, had attempted to raise the subtle spirit of the earth. All these good people shared the noblest ambition, to invoke again the golden age on earth. 

"No doubt in time they did much to promote human convenience and comfort, and civilizations have been humanized by such efforts; but their falls have thereby only been delayed. For the human spirit, like the spirit of the earth, is a natural wanderer and does not forever accept domesticity. 

"Attempts to fix nature's volatile principle will always be made; and the spirit may for a time accept the ways imposed upon it by human nature in its material aspect. But sooner or later it will prefer its own ways, and will take them, whatever obstacles are put in its path." (All John Michell quotations are from his book, The Earth Spirit, Crossroad Publishing Company). 

So we observe that Saturn and his "golden age" architecture (both mental and physical), came only after the end of Eden, after Saturn-Sirius had separated the unity of heaven and earth by means of his fateful sickle. 

What do we have behind the cover story about a worker's paradise in the Soviet Union? We have the sickle, the very occult symbol of the bisection of heaven and earth, the very symbol of the destruction of Eden by demonic, accelerated  material and temporal decay and false philosophies which generate division (between humanity's sense of itself and identification with God's divine creation) under cover of slogans of unity. 

In other words we have a grotesque mockery of the very principle touted. This macabre arrogance borders on the clownish for those initiates (or self-initiates) who have the wit to see it. 

Inducing the Double-Mind 
Have you ever noticed how television and print media will scream themselves hoarse in news documentaries, editorials and heavy analytical pieces about "rising pornography, crime, violence, gunplay" etc.? And yet in the same TV Guide announcing the latest special on "The Crisis of Sex and Violence in America" will appear an advertisement for Miami Vice, the "show that brings you the action and excitement you've come to expect" etc. 

Or your newspaper will condemn sex and violence in the loftiest terms but there in the entertainment section is a half page advertisement for a new "action" movie accompanied by a photo of women in string bikinis and high heels fondling automatic pistols and machine-guns. 

There is the official attack on sex and violence. There is the official attack on Satanism. And yet, one need not be Sherlock Holmes to detect that the very themes which Orthodox Officialdom condemns with its right hand, its left-hand Counterculture Officialdom—disseminates. 

Lt. Col. Michael Aquino works for U.S. Army Military Intelligence. He is also the leader of the Temple of Set, a group characterized as satanic by the Official Orthodoxy of the System. Aquino, in a letter to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of Feb. 6, 1989 responded to the attacks on his organization by a supposedly scandalized culture that is itself Satanic: 

"If teenage gangs may experiment with what they believe to be 'occult rituals,' blame should be laid squarely at the feet of the media which glamorize occult violence to youth. I specifically refer to the movie industry, with offerings of increasingly gory and violent 'splatter' films such as Nightmare on Elm Street (with its child-molestor hero Freddy), Halloween, Friday the  13th, etc. 

"Note that such films usually include several sequels also targeted at children, and Freddy now has his own weekly television series! And parents wonder where children are getting all their bizarre, occult ideas? Please turn on your television sets any evening or examine even the 'PG' horror movie offerings at your local video store—much less the 'R' category." 

The mechanism of prissy, six o'clock TV news show put downs and "exposes" of the very Satanic sex and violence which are lustily celebrated on the same channel on their ten o'clock movie is sheer hypocrisy of the most blatant and perverse form. It is not concealed. 

Yet we cooperate with it. We are its prey. Both sides—light and shadow—have magnetic attraction for us. The Official Orthodoxy allows us to indulge our good sense about ourselves as people who can still be outraged. 

Meanwhile, the Establishment's Official Counter-Culture allows us to indulge our "guilty pleasures" as they are—once again—openly referred to by a pair of syndicated TV-movie critics. Pleasure—as distinct from joy or happiness—is almost always enhanced by the patina of the forbidden, and having reassured our persona of our essential goodness by sharing in the condemnations promulgated by the Official Orthodoxy, we can then fling ourselves headlong into guilty indulgence of the very themes we agreed were execrable when condemned on the nightly news. 

The collective occult schizophrenia—or mass insanity, if you will-extends to Judeo-Christians who condemn Satanism as a concept when presented in church forums, TV chat shows and police seminars, but who relax and divert themselves with Satanic television and videos. 

Modern people are fascinated with exposes of sex, violence and Satanism and fascination is itself a form of mind control if we recognize that oftentimes obsessive treatments of these themes under the guise of "exposing them" are the very means of inducing interest and involvement in the occult. People who never hear about Satanism, extreme violence and extreme pornography are unlikely to become involved with Satanism, violence and pornography. 

Those who fill their heads with morbid fascination with lurid media depictions of evil in the world, under the pretense of putting an end to such evil, are actually part of the process which precedes its wider acceptance. The film The Exorcist is instructive in this vein. Under the guise of exposing Satanism, it brutalized its audience with pornography and a powerful occult milieu. 

Roman Polanski's popular Hollywood film, Rosemary's Baby, was also presented from the vantage of supposedly "exposing" the danger of Satanism, but has accurately been called "the best advertisement for Satanism ever made... an allegory of the birth of the demonic eon." 

Polanski has himself been implicated in child molestation. It has also been alleged that he videotaped pornography involving children and animals for sale to a private network, possibly in association with Charlie Manson, whose followers ritually sacrificed Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, and her unborn baby. Tate herself may have been involved in the occult, possibly the Process Church of the Final Judgment, a Satanic group which Manson was also associated with (see Painted Black, Harper and Row edition, pp. 115-116 and The Manson File, pp. 168- 172). 

Of course no matter what her affiliations, Sharon Tate's murder was a heinous crime. It is interesting to note that while much is made of the murder of her unborn baby as being the most horrible part of the Manson gang's occult violence, women who pay physicians to kill their unborn babies are not regarded as guilty of any Satanic act, heinous or otherwise. 

Was the sacrifice of Sharon Tate's unborn baby somehow a ritual precursor of the coming mass sacrifice of unborn children, which was subsequently legalized by the U.S. Supreme Court? 

The media puts us on intimate terms with the devil by immersing us in his spectacular, electronic "videodrome" kingdom. Was it by some sort of "tele-vision" that Satan tempted Christ? 

"The devil... showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time... All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me" (Luke 4:5; Matthew 4: 8-9; emphasis supplied). 

The double-mind—the profoundly disturbed mind at war with itself and ignorant even of that fact-is a characteristic of the scapegoat-patsy "lone nut" cult-killers—and of the American people in general. For, in this time-frame of ours, we are initiated into their Cult solely by means of our exposure to the electronic videodrome. And thus, our prospects become the same as those of David Berkowitz, Mark David Chapman, Arthur Bremer or James Earl Ray. In the 19th century the phenomenon was termed "masonic apoplexy." Today it is called zombieism. 

Masonic Double Mind in Vatican Two 
Catholicism Consider the modern Catholic Church under Popes John XXIII and Paul VI which, taking a leaf from the Elizabethan, Anglican Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, announced publicly an enlightened, new universal "reform" born of Vatican Council II's spirit of "renewal and openness," hence forward to be marked by a new reverence for lay involvement, dialogue and democracy. 

But just as Cranmer sneered at the common peasants who dared to protest the repression of the traditional liturgy Cranmer had claimed they no longer wanted, the Vatican Two Catholic Church, in the name of new freedoms, also suppressed, against the wishes of the common people, the old liturgy. It was outlawed and a modern liturgy designed by the Freemason Annibale Bugnini, and "luhv" rhetoric to justify the suppression, in the name of "the people's wishes," followed it. 

Cranmer murdered en masse the English Catholic peasants who rose in defense of the old liturgy. Cranmer massacred them and crushed their peasant uprising which became known as the Western Rising (cf. Michael Davies, Cranmer's Godly Order and Evelyn Waugh, Edmund Campion). 

This Protestant inquisition is seldom mentioned nowadays in keeping with the masonic strategy of tarring only the Catholic Church with the brush of "inquisitor" and thereby building up Protestantism as the exclusive "true Christianity." They have presented this false picture to the world because Protestantism was the chosen vehicle through which Freemasonry infiltrated Christianity. 

Protestants, not just Catholics, persecuted and executed thousands of Anabaptists (the forerunners of today's  Mennonites and Amish). Michael Servetus, a dissenting mathematician, was burned at the stake in Switzerland by Calvinists. 

According to contemporary adherents of paganism, the 16th century covens of Wicca sided with the Protestant Queen Elizabeth against the Catholics, in appreciation of her having awarded Satanist John Dee, the founder of Freemasonry, high office in her government (Howard Rheingold, "The Pentacle and the Wand," Whole Earth Review, Spring, 1992, p. 61). 

The French Revolution of 1789, or Reign of Terror as it is more appropriately known, was a masonic war against the Catholic church and the Catholic people of France; a war conducted with all the instruments of torture and all the atrocities of an inquisition. 

The masonic hanging judge, Jean-Baptiste Carrier, ordered the execution of 13,000 Catholics, who were drowned in the Loire River in boats specially designed for that purpose. 

On Dec. 23, 1793, the masonic General Francois Westermann attacked the Catholic village of Savenay, killing hundreds of Catholic women and children. Westermann bragged that he had "trampled children under horses' feet and massacred women who will no longer give birth to brigands." 

In 1794, another of the generals of the French Revolution, the Freemason Louis-Marie Turreau, ordered the slaughter of 109 Catholic children in the village of Lucs-sur-Boulogne. 

In the western section of France, in the area around Nantes known as the Vendee, hundreds of thousands of Catholics were slaughtered by the masonic government of the French Revolution. Thousands of their religious leaders were also killed in Paris and other areas for their opposition to the suzerainty of the masonic cryptocracy. 

A great deal has changed since then however. Today the Vatican is as firmly in the pocket of the Freemasons as are many Protestant institutions. Pope John Paul II, presented in the masonic media as a "strict conservative," is actually an agent of One World, New Age Luciferianism. In 1986 he convened a world council of religions, including African devil-worshipers, Buddhists and Muslims, at a church named after the Apostle Peter, in Assisi, Italy. 

According to the New York Times (Oct. 28, 1986), "The Buddhists, led by the Dalai Lama, quickly converted the altar of the Church of San Pietro by placing a small statue of the Buddha atop the tabernacle and setting prayer scrolls and incense burners around it." (The Dalai Lama of Tibet is revered as a "God-King" by his followers). 

Sincere Christians of all denominations condemned the Assisi rite. Protestant leader Dr. Carl Mclntyre called it, "the greatest single abomination in church history." Catholic Bishop Marcel Lefebvre labeled Pope John Paul ll's actions in Assisi, "The supreme imposture, the culminating insult to Our Lord... a diabolical act." 

Thus we observe the conflict between truths perceived deep within and lies people force themselves to assent to in public. "In the name of the people" the wishes of the people are overthrown. Is there a reason this double-mind has been induced? If someone is making us deliberately mentally ill, it may be that this is done so that we will look to that someone for "healing and relief." 

The Bovine Herd 
Into the double-mind breach step the elite managers of the masonic, Hermetic Academy who through symbol and word manipulation can temporarily unite our persona and anima, thus lifting an immense burden from us, relieving us of our stress and confusion. This function can easily assume, in the minds of the subject-patients, a god-like status. I submit this status is characterized by the use of the term "They" in our society, as in "Why don't They come up with a tire that will never wear out or a cure for cancer?" As in "They have a cure for cancer but the doctors would lose too much money so They have suppressed it." Or "They say the CIA killed Kennedy and he was fornicating with Marilyn throughout his presidency." 

"They" write the movie scripts and the billboard slogans. "They" have the money and the power and control of the illusion machine. "They" can cure cancer or withhold the cure. They reveal the secrets behind assassinations and scandals. What will "They" do next? How will "They" program the show today? Let's sit back, watch and find out. 

Since we choose to refuse to genuinely heal the rift between the two sides of our mentality by the tough means of repudiating our lying public persona and taking action on the understanding of our true self, we relinquish autonomy to those who make it appear that they can heal us at no great cost or trouble on our part. Never mind that "They" are also the ones who implanted the rift in the first place. The point is "We" have little or no power. We cannot act. We cannot invent. We cannot cure. We must wait and see what happens. We must see what They make happen. 

The final coffin in the nail of our free will is the fact that we ourselves know in our heart of hearts that the above is false. That it is We the People who have the power and the responsibility and that we could crush Them tomorrow if we chose to. They are only an illusion, every bit as ephemeral as the patter of a carnival sideshow bunco artist beckoning to us from the other side of the hootchie-kootchie tent. 

But if we overthrew them tomorrow we would have to write our own scripts. We would have to heal ourselves. We would have to admit the colossal waste and loss and destruction of the past years which our laziness and folly have made possible. We would have to experience the pain of being alive and responsible. We would have to start acting like men and women instead of as slaves and weaklings. 

The Hermetic Academy is confident, and not without reason, that we will offer no substantial, meaningful resistance to their imperium. Why? 

The foster mothers of the human race, at least in the West, are cows. Perhaps we've imbibed so much of their fluid that we have become cows, terrified of freedom and its responsibilities. Epistemologist Charles Fort once remarked, "I think we're farmed." 

According to the secret tradition of the Hermetic Academy, the "tree" of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden was a psychedelic mushroom, stropharia cubensis.* These mushrooms grow only in cow dung. 
* The symbol produced when that knowledge finally goes completely out-of-control is also a "mushroom," the mushroom-shaped cloud emitted upon detonation of an atomic bomb. 

Church Fathers Who Didn't Do Tricks with Mirrors 
There are essentially two forces competing for the hearts and minds of mankind. The first is the old force of the orthodoxy of the Church and the Throne, reaction and authority. Those who regard themselves as dissidents and rebels against the Establishment have been taught by the Official Counter-Culture that it is from this direction, from the ancien regime that we can expect to encounter the greatest threat to liberty. We've been trained to expect that the threat to freedom comes from Christian religious and ethical orthodoxies, based on faith and authority. 

But any halfway competent student of deception will know that the greatest potential threat always comes from the unsuspected direction. In this case from the force that is misidentified and masked, that force which is fascism with a human face. 

Perhaps more important, there is one key principle of the psychology of mass mind control missing from the old model of authority embodied by the early Fathers of the Christian Church: they did not flatter and they did not come in disguise. The core of orthodox Christianity's belief system was anti-occult to the marrow: it was the bad news about human nature. 

Not so the "revolutionary liberators," from the Soviet communists, to the New Age groovers, who have announced the delivery of humanity from the clutches of Reaction and Orthodoxy. Of this "Church" of the Official Counter-Culture, Louis-Ferdinand Celine observed in Mea Culpa, his seminal essay on Bolshevism: 

"Since the end of religions, before this new (modern) altar, they have been swinging incense; they have been intoxicating man with the sense of his own importance, with all manner of rigmarole. Man has been made the whole Church. No longer can he see anything with clear eyes. He is cracked! He believes anything that is told to him, just so long as it is flattering to him... 

"The practical superiority of the great Christian religions was that they did not try to sugarcoat the pill. They did not try to throw dust in the eyes; they were not looking for voters; they never felt the need of ingratiating themselves; they did not wiggle their tails in an effort to please. They just seized Man in his cradle, and broke the bad news to him, without reservation. They told him, 'You little shapeless stinker you, you can never be anything but filth. By birth you are nothing but merde. Do you hear me, you? That's the evidence, that's the principle of every thing... However, maybe... maybe... in scrutinizing the matter more closely... you have got one little chance of winning a bit of pardon for being as you are—so filthy, so excremental, so unbelievable... 

"That is, if you can hold your chin up in the face of all the sorrows, all the afflictions, all the ordeals, miseries and tortures you will have to face during your lifetime, whether it be long or short. Always with perfect humility! Life, you louse, is just one long bitter ordeal! Don't get out of breath! Don't expect noon to come at two o'clock! Just try to save your soul, that is something in itself! Maybe at the end of this Calvary of yours, if you get to be a regular fellow, a hero in keeping your trap shut, you may be saved by these principles... 

"But even that is not a sure thing... one little hair's breadth less filthy when you come to croak than when you were born... But don't take too much for granted! That's the whole story! Watch your step! Don't speculate on first and last things! For a turd that is the maximum!...' 

"That was seriously spoken. By real Church Fathers, who knew the tools of their trade, and did not try to do tricks with mirrors." 

Even the parties that claim to be antidotes to the excesses of the degraded spirit of modernity—Populism and democracy— are thoroughly modern and actually serve as bridges to that tyranny we have been taught to revere as the source of our liberation. Populism and democracy are based on the same notion of statecraft as the enemy they claim to oppose, predicated upon the flattery of man and human nature, in order to pimp for votes and influence. 

Masonic Dogma of 'Perfecting' Creation 
In the opposite corner from Church and Throne, is the philosophy which describes itself as "The Rite of Perfection." This is the alternate name for the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, the most powerful masonic order in the world. This is the occult philosophy of not only the Novus Ordo Seclorum—the  so-called New Order of the Ages—but also of the Elizabethan Age and long before it as well. 

This is the intellectual conceit that the universe—God's natural Creation—is going to be "perfected" by the god-like intervention of the omnipotent human intellect, symbolized by the pentagram. 

This is the belief which informs the entire occult project from the Pythagorean to the Enlightenment and is made all the more astonishingly pathological when one recalls that this mission was approached at a time in history when the earth was abundant with vast tracts of virgin forests, oceans and jungles, organic soil and produce and pure air and water. Yet in the midst of this pinnacle of throbbing natural, pristine beauty and purity the Rosicrucian initiate Robert Fludd dedicated himself to the "regeneration of the (natural) world." 

The standard disinformation intended for the uninitiated has always been that Fludd was speaking metaphorically, about the spiritual plane. Actually, Fludd was doing both: addressing himself to the literal manipulation of nature by human brain power as well as to the consequences of such "regeneration" in the realm of "magic" and spirit. 

This philosophy emerged in the open in Europe with the Renaissance and it is also true, as historian Frances Yates writes, "...it was in its origins that the occult philosophy of the Renaissance had inspired some of the most exquisite productions of Renaissance culture." In other words, in the majestic incense of Renaissance art there is also the whiff of the sulfurous. 

The "Luhv" Tyranny 
This malodorous current is evident in Rabelais' Abbey of Theleme—the philosopher's paradise where one rule alone is law: fais ce que voudras or "do your own thing." See the grotesque mockery behind this claim of Rabelais. He, like his occult forbears, is a Saturnian, a follower of the scythe wielder who, in allegory, first tore apart primordial paradise, the unity between heaven and earth, but now here is Rabelais as a spokesman for the epitome of Renaissance enlightenment offering us... a paradise! 

If Chronos-Saturn destroyed a divine Eden—Saturn being  the force of time, decay and the progress of matter (or Second Law of Thermodynamics)—man will recreate a true Theleme, a better Eden than God. And that, in sum, is the masonic cover story that maintains cachet to this day. 

It has been between two ideologies that we have been pulled in Western history, between the monumental autocracy and dogmatism of the Church, Monarchy, Reaction and Authority at one end, and the alleged Anarcho-Libertarian, Rosicrucian-Masonic Heresiarchs at the other, who allegedly only want freedom, unfettered knowledge, love and toleration for all. Robert K.G. Temple is one of their advocates and writes: 

"The Platonic tradition in the broader sense, with its gnostic and heretical overtones, and its myriad manifestations in later ages in such bizarre and fascinating figures as Giordano Bruno, Marsilio Ficino, John Dee... not to mention the troubadours of Provence... and the massacred tens of thousands of Albigensians in France, the Knights Templar and an infinite range of hopeless causes over two and a half millennia—Platonism in the general sense is a creed which denies creed, an anti-institutional tradition... (it insists) on nothing by way of doctrinal dogma. It is truly free... it has no Pope... it terrifies those weaker mentalities which crave a shuttered belief system, they always try to destroy it, but succeed only in destroying individuals and individual movements within the larger tradition." [ how is it then that the weaker mentalities destroy any who partake of the platonic tradition? weaker mentalities my ass. DC]

Temple has given us a classic statement of the standard propaganda of the Hermetic Academy. It's rather incredible to ponder the depth of deception inside that single paragraph of his. We observe first a martyrology and a victimhood established: the persecuted freedom-lovers massacred, hounded, destroyed. Implicit in that ridiculously one-sided caricature is the notion of blamelessness, non-violence and toleration on the part of the Albigensians and the Templars and the rest of the Academy's dramatis personae. 

Few would guess from Temple's propaganda that his heroes the Knights Templar were directly responsible for unleashing one of the most horrible plagues upon Western civilization, a plague countless reformers not included in Temple's exalted martyrology gave their lives in an attempt to overturn. Historian Desmond Seward writing in The Monks of War cites  as the Templar's most momentous act, "their contribution to the overthrow of the Church's attitude toward usury... No medieval institution did more for the rise of capitalism." 

These were the Knights Templar who, far from being "anti-institutional", were actually the prototype of the first international bankers, the first respectable Shylocks who made extracting a pound of flesh at interest, "the enlightened thing to do." 

Temple's heroes also include the Albigensians, those paradigms of the masonic stereotype of the "free spirited heretics whose free love communalism was one of the few bright spots in a dark age of Church dictatorship otherwise heavy with hierarchy and dogma" etc. etc. 

It is true that the Albigensians were horribly repressed with great cruelty, but that fact alone does not negate the essence of what the Albigensians represented. The Albigensians were one of the best examples of the hierarchical authoritarianism and "priestcraft" for which the Catholic Church had been condemned—by the Albigensians! But the Catholics made no secret of their claim to authority and hierarchy. 

Not so the Albigensians, who, like all Gnostic-masonic occultists, hid their true aims and organizational structure and publicly swore hostility against the whole of the Satanic material world. That was the cover-story, anyway. 

The rank and file Albigensians were sworn to a life of celibacy and asceticism, the better to avoid entanglements with matter and flesh. There was an additional class among them however, a ruling or priest class known as "The Perfecti." These "perfect ones" were supposed to practice all the austerity of the rank and file and then take that austerity to an even more extreme degree of self-denial in what was supposed to have been a life lived as a perpetual Lent. 

But there was a secret side to the Perfecti class which they chose not to reveal to the "imperfect ones." The secret doctrine of the Albigensians was that, since the priest class was perfect, they were above the law, immune to sin and therefore licensed to indulge in all of the orgies, gluttony and riches solemnly forbidden to the "imperfect" lower order Albigensians. 

This Albigensian model of a secret doctrine for the elite absolving them of most or all of the disciplines they have publicly commanded to their subordinates, represents the original corrupt executive dogma of institutionalism, par excellence. It reflects the ancient occult contempt for the lower orders of men, in spite of their sucker-bait preachments about everyone's "godhood." It also represents the masonic tradition of a secrets-keeping hierarchy who have the cunning to condemn the elitism of enemy hierarchies, while practicing an even more vicious version of their own under a masque of benevolence and brotherly love. 

The Neo-Platonic, Gnostic-Hermetic , Kabbalistic - Rosicrucian-Masonic freethinking victims, as Temple styles them (and he is not alone in this, everyone from Robert Anton Wilson to Gary Snyder to Manly Palmer Hall and most of the intellectual establishment of our day share in his assessment), these poor, persecuted victims-assassinated anyone who got in their way! 

One of their opponents was the Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe, whose plays Doctor Faustus and Tamburlaine constitute a strong attack on the Rosicrucian cryptocracy and its core credo of human intellect "perfecting" nature through tampering. Marlowe was murdered by them— stabbed through the eye to symbolize his having seen too much. 

How different a picture the documentary record gives us of these supposed Neo-Platonic rebels for tolerance and freedom and no Pope and no dogma. In reality the Thelemic current, the Do-Your-Own-Thing Academy, is in fact a Counter-Church with institutional dogmas, violence and discipline far more rigid and harsh than the orthodox Church that is its rival for the hearts and souls of mankind. 

The great advantage the occult Church, this hermetic Abbey of Theleme, has had over the orthodox Christian Church, is that its true character has been successfully concealed and only the Christian Church has been made to carry the stigma of institutional rigidity, inquisition and dogmatism. 

The Counter-Church has triumphed because it has been able to maintain the facade R.K.G. Temple, Robert Anton Wilson and their colleagues routinely depict. 

The masonic cryptocracy tyranny over humanity has been accomplished under cover of victimhood. The world's most rigid and fascist hierarchy has successfully enveloped its occult  discipline in the patina of persecution and hounding by the "uptight, the blind, the superstitious and ignorant." 

In spite of its incredibly strict, secret dogmatism, it advertises itself as the repository of freethought and open inquiry so that no subject of study is taboo; no rules except "Do What Thou Wilt" and beneath that vast front a profound secrecy about their genuine objectives and operations. 

Orthodoxy Christianity's dogmatic assertion has been that it has God on its side. The propaganda of the masonic cryptocracy has been that it will make every man god and in liberty, equality and fraternity will their collective god-hood reign. 

Which is more dangerous a threat to individual rights and the natural order: the old-time princes and prelates who loudly announced their aspiration for glory, authority, pomp and ceremony, or those other princes and tyrants who advance their dominion under the mask of freethought, victimhood, equality and a man-made heaven on earth?
