For those who love Truth… “…every lover of the truth is bound to praise God by revealing the knowledge entrusted to him.” – The Waterstone of the Wise “Now, there is one creed to which all genuine Freethinkers are faithful. It is to seek the truth, wherever it leads, and whatever the traditional belief upon the subject under investigation.” – Heavenly Bridegrooms by Ida C. Craddock

“It is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies.” - Thomas Huxley

“The distinguishing property of man is to search for and follow after truth… To attain the truth…is the noblest destiny of man. Hereafter and all your life it is to be your object.” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike, 1871 A.D.

“Every man who is prepared to die rather than renounce truth and justice is most truly living, for immortality abides in his soul. To find or to form such men was the end of all ancient initiations.” - Dogma et Rituel de la Haute Magie Book 1 by Eliphas Levi

“The real advantage which truth has, consists in this, that when an opinion is true, it may be extinguished once, twice, or many times, but in the course of ages there will generally be found persons to rediscover it, until some one of its reappearances falls on a time when from favorable circumstances it escapes persecution until it has made such head as to withstand all subsequent attempts to suppress it.” - John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859 A.D.

“…a man cannot find truth unless he is true himself…” – The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish, 1967 A.D.

“…ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” - John 8:32

“Truth conquers all.” –

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” - Ephesians 6:12

Chapter 1: Azazel’s Descent “Behind the veil of all the hieratic and mystical allegories of ancient doctrines, behind the darkness and strange ordeals of all initiations, under the seal of all sacred writings, in the ruins of Nineveh or Thebes, on the crumbling stones of old temples and on the blackened visage of the Assyrian or Egyptian sphinx, in the monstrous or marvelous paintings which interpret to the faithful of India the inspired pages of the Vedas, in the cryptic emblems of our old books on alchemy, in the ceremonies practiced at reception by all secret societies, there are found indications of a doctrine which is everywhere the same and everywhere carefully concealed.” - Eliphas Levi in the Introduction to his Dogma et Rituel de la Haute Magie (Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual, circa. 1855 A.D.)

And indeed it most certainly is—it is the story of fallen angels and theirs is a tale of rebellion and subterfuge. Theosophists teach that in times past: “…an important event happened—the most important up to this time upon our planet. This event was the coming of what the ancient scriptures call the ‘Shining Ones,’ the ‘Sons of God.’ These Beings have been called by many names… They have sometimes been referred to as the ‘fallen angels’ … The coming (descent) of these divine sons (angels), and their sojourn (their entrapment) in the lower regions (‘Hades’ of the Greeks, ‘Ament’ of the Egyptians) has been the subject of myth and legend of all peoples since the beginning of time. This is a theme which has been immortalized by sage and poet.” - The Theosophical Seal by Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.

These words were written in reference of course to the coming of the angels to our Earth as cited in the sixth chapter of the Biblical Book of Genesis: “When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them, the sons (angels) of God saw that the daughters of men (female humans) were fair; and they took to wife such of them as 5

they chose. The Nephilim (from Naphal, ‘to fall,’ the children of the fallen angels) were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God** came into the daughters of men, and they bore children to them (the Nephilim are the hybrid offspring of angels and humans***). These were the mighty men (‘gibborim,’ cognate with which is our word ‘giants’) who were of old, the men of renown (the heroes of old).” - Genesis 6:1-2,4 (** Pertinent Quotes: “In the esoteric tradition ‘Ben Elohim’ or ‘sons of God’ refers to the archangels and specifically the fallen [phalan] angels.” – p.201 The Pillars of Tubal Cain by Nigel Jackson. And again: “The Septuagint rendering of Genesis 6 is not the same in all manuscripts. In some, bene haElohim is translated ‘sons of God,’ in other texts the reading is ‘angels of God.’” – p.52 Fallen Angels: The Soldiers of Satan’s Realm by Bernard J. Bamberger, 1952 A.D.) (*** “…Nephilim…signify the offspring of the sons of God [fallen angels] and the daughters of men.” - Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember, 1889 A.D.)

Sex between humans and angels is known as demoniality, and the human wives of the angels are called demonialitas. Their offspring are oft times referred to as demigods. Demoniality falls into the category of ‘bestiality’ (by definition sex with a member of a different species) which is strictly prohibited by God as outlined in the Biblical Book of Deuteronomy (See Deuteronomy 27:21). The Book of Enoch continues the story of the angels’ descent to our Earth and relates to us how in the days of Jared (See Genesis 5:20) 200 angels arrived upon Mt. Hermon amongst the Anti-Lebanon mountain range on the Lebanon-Syria border, taking up residence amongst the human population of the Earth, interbreeding with them, completely corrupting mankind through the misguided dissemination of an advanced heavenly knowledge: “And they (the angels) were in all two hundred, who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon…” - 1Enoch VI. 6 This number is confirmed by The Kawan: “…the two hundred demons (read: rebellious fallen angels) came down to the sphere (to the Earth) from the high heaven (from the New Earth)…” - The Kawan M363 These angels were banished to our Earth after the angels’ rebellion against God had been resoundingly defeated in heaven. It was said of these angels: 6

“…they (the 200 angels) have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have borne giants (also known as ‘giborrim,’ angel/human hybrid children), and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness.” - 1Enoch IX.8-9 (Pertinent Quote: “Genesis refers to beings called ‘the sons of God’ who took human wives, fathered children, and spread evil throughout the earth… The ‘sons of God,’ said The Book of Enoch…were the 200 Watchers (whose proper task was to watch over humanity). They came to earth, lusted sinfully after women, and taught mankind the evil arts of war, astrology and magic…devoting themselves to the corruption and enslavement of men and women.” – Witchcraft and Demonology by British ceremonial magician Francis X. King, 1987 A.D.)

The Zohar of the Jews also speaks of the angels’ arrival: “…Uzza (aka Semjaza) and Aza’el (Azazel), who rebelled above, were cast down by the Blessed Holy One (by God), and materialized on earth, abiding on it… Subsequently they strayed after earthly women… They engendered children, whom they called Mighty Giants…” - Zohar 1:58a (Perhaps Azazel’s band of fallen angels “materialized” upon the Israeli Golan Heights. Parts of Mt. Hermon’s southern slopes fall within the northern Golan Heights area. It is possible the Circle of Gilgal-Rephaim (Rujm el-Hiri) [a ‘Gilgal’ is a circle of standing stones akin to a henge, Stonehenge being a most famous example] said to predate even the Biblical Flood itself which sits atop the Golan Heights was constructed to commemorate the angels’ descent to our Earth, it being one of the original “high places of Baal” [who is Azazel] such as the one spoken of in Leviticus 22:41 set up to worship the fallen angelic “host of heaven” as set forth in 2Kings 21:3, who were in fact “the devils” of Leviticus 17:7 and of 2Chronicles 11:15. Mount Hermon itself was the chief center for Canaanite Baal worship for this very reason, and many temples devoted to Baal/Azazel ring its stately summit. Interestingly enough Mt. Hermon is located on the 33° North [33rd parallel], as Scottish Rite Freemasonry, ever a slave to symbolism, consists of 33 degrees. High-degree Freemasonic lore, as the reader shall later learn, is immersed in the knowledge of these fallen angels. Interestinlgy enough, the Jewish philosopher Abraham Ibn Ezra equates the mystery of Azazel with the number 33: “‘If you can discern the mystery that follows the word Azazel, you will know its mystery and the mystery of its name; for it has analogies in Scripture. And I will reveal part of the history to you by hint: you will know it when you reach thirty-three!’ … Ibn Ezra’s cryptic mention of ‘thirty-three’ refers to Leviticus 17:7, the thirty-third verse after the mention of Azazel, which forbids the practice of sacrificing to seirim…** The demons…are called in the Bible seirim.” - pp.154-155 Fallen Angels: The Soldiers of Satan’s Realm by Bernard J. Bamberger, 1952 A.D. **Indeed: “Azazel was the leader of the Watchers, who lusted after the daughters of men, and also the chief of the seirim…who are mentioned several times in the Old Testament and were worshipped by some of the Jews.” - The Black Arts p. 314 by Richard Cavendish, 1967 A.D. It was the head of a company of masons in the employ of King Solomon [who as we learn from 1Kings 11:33, himself later spurned God by sacrificing to other gods], namely, Jeroboam of the tribe of Ephraim, who led the revolt against King Solomon’s son Rehoboam [thereby becoming the king of what would be known as the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel] who appointed priests dedicated to the worship of the seirim 7

[See 2Chronicles 11:15]. And many there are of their number today)

In days long past these 200 angels mated with women of the Earth. This was in direct contradiction of the commandment of God: “And to you (the fallen angel Azazel and his group of rebellious fallen angels, 200 in number), according to what ye wish, there shall be upon you the mind of a man and the body of a man (God made these angels incarnate). But take good heed to yourselves that ye transgress not My word and break not My commandment; and defile not ye yourselves with eating, or drinking, or fornication, or with any other thing whatsoever; and transgress ye not My word.” And straightway there were given unto them (the angels) with His word flesh, and blood, and a heart of the children of men (the angels were made incarnate). And they (Azazel and his angels, 200 in number) were content to leave the height of heaven, and they came down to earth (to our Earth), to the folly of the dancing of the children of Cain… And their (the children of Cain’s) daughters were there, and they (the angels) enjoyed the orgies without shame… And the men (the angels in bodies of men) did not restrain themselves for a moment, but they took to wife from among women those whom they had chosen, and committed sin with them… And the daughters of Cain with whom the angels had accompanied conceived…” - Kebra-Nagast: Chapter 100 As we similarly learn from The Book of Enoch: “And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another; ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men (the humans) and beget us children.’” - 1Enoch VI. 1-2 The eminent Jewish historian Josephus (37-100 A.D.) in his Antiquities of the Jews asserts that: “…many angels of God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their strength; for the tradition is, that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians called giants.” - Antiquities of the Jews 1.3.1 (“In the Grecian mythology an important place is occupied by certain powerful beings, described as being mingled heavenly and earthly, of 8

divine and human origin, and variously designated by the names of giants, Titans, demigods, heroes… There are those…who are able to see…in those famous legends of the Greeks…an unmistakable reference to real events, the brief narrative of which forms a portion of the Old Testament Scripture and may be read…in the sixth chapter of the Book of Genesis, verses 14…that the ‘sons of God’ [angels] of Gen. vi. were inhabitants originally of another world [the angels being by definition, extraterrestrial beings]…” – Introduction to The Fallen Angels and the Heroes of Mythology by Rev. John Fleming, 1879 A.D. Indeed: “Accounts of sexual union in the past between men and extraterrestrials are by no means rare… It belongs to that part of universal mythology which describes the first contact between men and gods, the institution of human civilization which the meeting produced, and the creation of a hybrid race, a bridge between gods and men. This theme, the unions between gods and men, is, of course, basic in all mythology.” – p.88,90 The Flying Saucer Vision by John Michell, 1967 A.D. A fact made all the more interesting considering that: “…Christian teachers…identified the heathen gods and goddesses with the demonic fallen angels.” – p.208 Fallen Angels: The Soldiers of Satan’s Realm by Bernard J. Bamberger, 1952 A.D.)

The Roman Catholic Saint Aristides the Athenian (circa. 125 A.D.) clarifies Josephus’ statement for us: “The Greeks…say of their gods (the Greeks worshipped the fallen angels as gods) that they committed adultery with the daughters of men; and of these there was born a certain race (a race of angel/human hybrids)...” - The Apology of Aristides the Philosopher (Syriac) (Pertinent Quote: “More and more we are finding that mythology in general though greatly contorted very often has some historic base. And the interesting thing is that one myth which occurs over and over again in many parts of the world is that somewhere a long time ago supernatural beings had sexual intercourse with natural women and produced a special breed of people.” – Genesis in Space and Time: The Flow of Biblical History [1972 A.D.] by American Evangelical Christian theologian, philosopher, and Presbyterian pastor Francis A. Schaeffer [1912-1984 A.D.]. Schaeffer is said to have had a strong influence on the leaders of the Christian Right Movement in America)

In The Works of Philo, “On the Giants,” the Jewish philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria in the 1st Century A.D. states: “And when the angels of God saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful, they took unto themselves wives of all whom they chose.” The Works of Philo (Pertinent Quote: “‘Women,’ saith the Apostle, ‘should pray with their heads covered, because of the angels,’ and the Apostle speaks thus because he knows that the angels are disturbed when they look upon them and see that they are beautiful [“For indeed it is ‘on account of the angels’ (See 1 Cor. xi. 10) that he saith women must be veiled, because on account of ‘the daughters of men’ angels revolted from God…” – Anti-Nicene Fathers Volume 3: Tertullian, Ethical Chapter XXII]. No sooner do they touch the earth [arriving thereupon] than they desire to embrace mortal women and fulfill their desire… In order to assure yourself that I am not deceiving you, Maurice, on this subject of the amorous embraces of angels and women, look up Justin, Apologies, I and II; Flavius Josephus, Jewish Antiquities, Book I, Chapter III; Athenagoras, Concerning the Resurrection; Lactantius, Book II, Chapter XV; Tertullian, On the Veil of the Virgins; Marcus of Ephesus in Psellus; Eusebius, Præparatio Evangelica, Book V, Chapter IV; Saint Ambrose, in his book on Noah 9

and the Ark, Chapter V; Saint Augustine, in his City of God, Book XV, Chapter XXIII; Father Meldonat, the Jesuit, Treatise on Demons, page 248; Pierre Lebyer the King’s Counsellor…’” – The Revolt of the Angels by Anatole France, 1914 A.D. Anatole France [pseudonym of French politician Jacques‐Anatole‐François Thibault (1844–1924 A.D.)] would win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1921 A.D.)

In the 8th Century A.D. Rabbi Eliezer (the teachings of whose father forms the basis of the Zohar) recorded the following remark in a Midrash: “The Angels who fell from Heaven saw the daughters of Cain perambulating and displaying their secret parts, their eyes painted with antimony in the manner of harlots; and, being seduced, took wives from among them.” - Rabbi Eliezer (Pertinent Quote: “When the angels came to earth, and beheld the daughters of men in all their grace and beauty, they could not restrain their passion…entering into alliances with the daughters of men… The offspring of these alliances between the angels and the Cainite women [the descendents of Cain] were the giants, known for their strength and their sinfulness…” – The Legends of the Jews Vol. I: The Punishment of the Fallen Angels by Rabbi Louis Ginzberg)

Student of Greek philosophy turned Christian convert Justin Martyr (103–165 A.D.) in his Second Apology, “How the Angels Transgressed,” writes: “God, when He had made the whole world…committed the care of men and all things under heaven to angels whom He appointed over them. But the angels transgressed this appointment, and were captivated by love of women, and begat children who are those that are called demons; and besides, they afterwards subdued the human race to themselves…” - Second Apology The Early Church Father Tertullian (160-220 A.D.) in The Apology Chapter 22 explains: “We are instructed, moreover, by our sacred books how from certain angels, who fell of their own free-will (fallen angels, as it were), there sprang a more wicked demon-brood (the hybrid offspring of the angels and their human wives), condemned of God along with the authors of their race (from whom they originated; the “authors of their race” are the rebellious fallen angels)… Their great business is the ruin of mankind. So, from the very first, spiritual wickedness (fallen angels) sought our (mankind’s) destruction.” - The Apology 10

Christian historian Julius Africanus (160-240 A.D.) faithfully records in the historical annals of his Chronography: “When men multiplied on the earth, the angels of heaven came together with the daughters of men…by whose power they conceived the giants as their children, by whom wickedness came to its height on the earth, until God decreed that the whole race of the living should perish in their impiety in the deluge (in a great Flood, the story of which may be found in Genesis 6:1 – Genesisi 8:19).” - Julius Africanus: Anti-Nicene Fathers Volume VI Extant Fragments from the Chronography Part II

Ancient history indeed! As Chapter 3 of The Damascus Document from the Dead Sea Scrolls of the Essenes at Qumran exhorts: “Now therefore, children, hearken unto me, and I will open your eyes to see, and to understand the works of God and to choose what He approveth, and to reject what He hateth: To walk uprightly in all His ways and not to go about in the thoughts of an evil imagination and [with] eyes [full] of fornication. For many were led astray by them, and mighty men of valor stumbled by them from of old [and until this day]. Because they walked in the stubbornness of their heart the Watchers** (the angels) of heaven fell. By them were they caught because they kept not the commandment of God… And their children (the giants)…fell thereby. All flesh that was on dry land perished thereby (in the Flood). And they were as though they had not been (they vanished without a trace). Because they (the angels) did their own will, and kept not the commandment of their Maker (God), until His wrath was kindled against them.” - The Damascus Document (** Per the theurgic magic order The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s The Book of the Black Serpent [c. 1900 A.D.]: “…the Fallen High Angels [fallen archangels]…were known to the Greeks as ["Archons"]… The Chief of the Watchers is named AZAZEL…” Azazel, the head of this group of 200 fallen angels, is the ‘False Prophet’ of the Biblical Book of Revelation)

The following scripture from The Book of Jubilees explains that the great Flood in the time of Noah was a judgment sent upon the Earth due to the following legal finding: “…the fornication wherein the Watchers (angels) against the law of their ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took to themselves wives of all of which they chose: and they made the beginning of uncleanness. And they begat sons, the Naphidim (the Nephilim), and they were all 11

unlike, and they devoured one another: and the giants slew the Naphil (Nephilim), and the Naphil slew the Eljo, and the Eljo mankind, and one man (one human) another (committed homicide). And every one sold himself to work iniquity and to shed much blood, and the earth was filled with iniquity… And the Lord (God) destroyed everything from off the face of the earth; because of the wickedness of their deeds, and because of the blood which they had shed in the midst of the earth He (God) destroyed everything.” - The Book of Jubilees VII.21,2223,25

Because of the destruction wrought upon our Earth and its inhabitants as a direct result of the actions of these angels, God decreed that the Earth’s inhabitants, which included Azazel’s group of fallen angels as well as their angel/human hybrid progeny which had come to dominate Earth’s native population, be eradicated from the face of the Earth. Enoch was chosen to deliver the verdict: “And I, Enoch, answered and said unto him: ‘The Lord will do a new thing on the earth, and this I have already seen in a vision, and make known to thee that in the generation of my father Jared some of the angels of heaven transgressed the word of the Lord. And behold, they commit sin and transgress the law, and have united themselves with women and commit sin with them, and have married some of them, and have begot children by them. And they shall produce on the earth giants (angel/human hybrids) not according to the spirit, but according to the flesh, and there shall be a great punishment on the earth, and the earth shall be cleansed from all impurity. Yea, there shall come a great destruction over the whole earth, and there shall be a deluge (a flood) and a great destruction…” - The Book of Noah (Notable Quote: “…the giants are conceived as a sort of intermediate race between gods and men, and it was for the sake of destroying this proud and unnatural brood the Flood was sent. Among the Greeks and Romans the habit of tracing the descent of noble families from gods [fallen angels] and goddesses [the human wives of the fallen angels] was very common [the Julius family of Julius Caesar, said to be descended from the goddess Venus (Venus was Azazel’s human wife), being a prime example. Roman emperors of the Julio–Claudian line claim descent from Venus through her Trojan son Aeneas and his descendants Romulous and Remus, the purported founders of Rome itself].** Plato goes so far as to say that all heroes [celebrated in the fables of Greece] are demigods [angel/human hybrids], born of the love of a god [angel] for a mortal [human] woman… From the descriptions of the giants and heroes of old as celebrated men—men of renown [a reference to scripture found in Genesis 6:4]—it is plain that they were popular characters, of whom the people had many stories to tell.” – The Book of Genesis in Light of Modern Knowledge: Supernatural Origin of Heroes by Worcester, 1901 A.D. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Plato [428/427 BC – 348/347 BC] was a Classical Greek philosopher, mathematician, student of Socrates, writer of philosophical 12

dialogues, and founder of the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his mentor, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle, Plato helped to lay the foundations of Western philosophy and science.” Plato, as we shall learn, was a proficient practitioner of magic, a system oft times involving the veneration and invocation of and communication with Azazel’s group of rebel angels, a system revealed to mankind by the fallen angels themselves) (** “…Nephilim…signify the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of men… The children of these unlawful connections before the flood were the renowned heroes of old: the subsequent repetition of the crime doubtless gave rise to the countless legends of the loves of the gods, and explains the numerous passages in the Classics, as well as in the ancient literature of other languages, in which human families are traced to a half Divine origin.” - Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember, 1889 A.D.)

It was at this time God charged the angel Raphael to imprison Azazel within the Earth: “…the Lord (God) said to Raphael: ‘Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is Dudael (also known as Duidain), and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks (Azazel was to be imprisoned inside his cherub within the igneous rock), and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there (within the earth)…” - 1Enoch X.4,5-6 The Book of Enoch (1Enoch) describes the process by which the angel Azazel was imprisoned within the Earth and how the Biblical Flood came about. It therein describes a comet being redirected by the angel Raphael so as to strike the Earth, causing great destruction thereupon. 1Enoch LXV.3-4 describes an object, a very large comet, “falling” “on the earth” by which the earth was “shaken” causing a “great commotion on the earth” due to its tremendous impact. This comet is the “heaven” which “fell to the earth” as mentioned in 1Enoch LXXXIII.3. Its impact crater is the “great abyss” spoken of in 1Enoch LXXXIII.4. It is also this very same impact crater that is mentioned in 1Enoch LXXXVIII.1,3. The impact crater itself was located in the desert called Duidain (‘dain’ means ‘valley’), also known as Dudael (‘-dael’ also means ‘valley’; from the Old English word ‘dael’ comes our word ‘dale’). The word ‘Dudael’ by one account translates as “God’s cauldron.” This name aptly describes an impact site typified by a round fiery molten hole being punched into the Earth. The comet’s impact caused a great geologic upheaval the result of which brought flood upon the land (See 1Enoch LXXXIX.19) as water flowed from within the Earth while rain fell in torrents from the sky. This event took place in 4340 B.C. (for further information concerning how I have arrived at this Flood date, and for 13

greater detail concerning the Biblical Flood itself, see Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles). 1Enoch LXVII.4-7 tells of this comet strike cutting a “burning valley” into the Earth’s crust. The excavation of this molten valley by the comet which struck the Earth caused a “great convulsion and a convulsion of the waters.” Molten metal and rock flowed through this great gash in the Earth’s crust and the undermined ground collapsed. Water speedily flowed into this molten valley imprisoning the 200 angels in their cherubim within the rapidly cooling rock where they are now to this day being imprisoned within the Earth. Indeed, 1Enoch LXXXVIII.3 explains that the rebellious angels were “stoned from heaven,” a reference to the comet which struck in their vicinity and in such a way the angel Raphael “cast them in an abyss of the earth” (See 1Enoch LXXXVIII.3). From Enoch we learn that “that abyss was narrow and deep, and horrible and dark” (See 1Enoch LXXXVIII.1). The furrow this astral plowshare plowed was by some called the Valley of Death (asteroids, meteorites and comets are symbolized as plowshares in Far Eastern ancient Sutra texts). It is the “valley of the shadow of death” mentioned in Psalms 23:4. The Greek philosopher Plutarch refers to it as the “valley of misery.” The Greek word for this abyss is Tartaros (The Expository Dictionary of Bible Words, p.337, explains that: “Tartaros was the Greek name for the…abyss in which rebellious gods (read: the rebellious fallen angels) were confined” (See 2Peter 2:4. These angels are “the spirits in prison” mentioned in 1Peter 3:19; the Greeks also called the place of the angels entrapment Hades, home to the chthonic god Hades [also known as Pluto, who is Azazel], who, according to the Greek poet philosopher Hesiod in his Theogony, “dwells under the earth”). The place of the angels’ entrapment was also known as the Valley of Eleusis. In Mesopotamia this abyss was variously known as Irkalla and Aralu. The Hebrews called it Sheol. The Egyptians knew this Valley of Death as Ar-en-Tet (named after their gods the Neteru [singular: Neter]; ‘Ta’ = Land; Ar-en-Tet is an anagram of ‘Ta Neter,’ aka the ‘Land of the Watchers’ of The Book of Enoch) who were therein entombed, where Horus (one name by which the Egyptians knew Azazel), the Chief amongst the Manes (highest ranking amongst the angels who accompanied him to the Earth) was thrust into the darkness of Amenta, into the ‘underworld’ beneath the earth (the ‘underworld’ is also known as the ‘netherworld’ which is to say, the 14

Neter-world). Amenta (the ‘Land of the Manes’) receives its name from the fact that it was the place where was entrapped the fallen angels whom they alternatively called the Manes. The following Egyptian mystery teaching speaks of Azazel being interred within the earth, and extraordinarily enough, being alive and well therein: “…the great god (Azazel), lord of Amenta…joined to the earth in the inner part great, being laid on the earth [he is] not dead in Amenta,** [he is] a glorious being in it.” - The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVI (**Also spelled Amenti, i.e., the "hidden place," also known as the "Other World" per Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge in The Egyptian Heaven and Hell [1905 A.D.], the angels oft times being referred to as Otherworldly beings)

And again: “Osiris (Azazel’s cherub Behemoth); greater [is he] than gods all. I have granted to him [to rule] in the underworld (Duat). But his son Horus (the angel Azazel) [is] as [his] heir upon his throne within the Lake of…Fire.” - The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXIX (compare the name of the Egyptian underworld abode of Osiris, namely, Duat, to Dudael/Duidain)

These angels were said to be cast into a “lake of fire” of molten lava created by the comet impacting the Earth, the tremendous energy generated by its impact melting the solid bedrock beneath them in which the angels in their cherubim were thereby imprisoned as the molten rock subsequently solidified. This comet impact in 4340 B.C. caused great regional destruction in Palestine and in other areas of the Levant and was the cause of the Biblical Flood. Behemoth is the name of Azazel’s cherub (cherubim are named in the same way as boats and ships and aircraft are named here on Earth). It was at the time of the comet strike when Azazel’s cherub Behemoth was encased within the rock beneath the desert called Duidain: “…Behemoth (Azazel’s cherub)…occupied…a waste wilderness (a desert) named Duidain.” - 1Enoch LX.8 (See also 1Enoch LX.9) Azazel was imprisoned within his cherub Behemoth beneath the desert known as Duidain by the comet which struck the earth. 15

Duidain, also known as Dudael (and the ‘Pit of Dudael’), where Azazel was imprisoned within the earth is identified in Revelation 9:13-15 as being located “at the great river Euphrates” in the Middle East. For a look at the Jewish religious custom which commemorates this event see Leviticus 16:1-22 (Pertinent Quote: “Azazel [alive and well beneath the earth]…persists in his corruptive activity. Therefore Israel brings offerings and casts one lot for the Lord, so that He [God] might accept atonement for all the sins of Israel, and one lot for Azazel so that he might bear the burden of the sins of Israel.” - Midrash Bereshit Rabbati: The Midrash of Shemhazai and Azazel (ed. Hanokh Albeck; Jerusalem: Mekitze Nirdamim, 1940). Indeed, in the Tenth Chapter of The Book of Enoch it

was God who was said to declare: “…the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin.”) Jude 6 speaks of the angels’ imprisonment within the earth: “And the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling have been kept by him (by God) in eternal chains in the nether gloom (encased within the earth)...” - Jude 6 (See also Jude 13) …as does 2Peter 2:4: “God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell (Sheol) and committed them to pits of nether gloom (within the earth) to be kept until the judgment...” - 2Peter 2:4 (See also The Book of Enoch XX.2) As The Acts of Thomas reveals: “I (Azazel) am he who inhabits and possesses the abyss of Tartarus,” referring to this abyss as the “great chasm” in which “that serpent (the Genesis serpent Azazel) was swallowed up,” in reference to Azazel’s imprisonment within the earth (As noted in The Jewish Study Bible [Tanakh Translation, Oxford University Press, 2004 A.D.]: “Unlike some later Jewish and Christian literature, Genesis does not identify the talking snake with Satan.” This was a later erroneous assumption. It is the fallen angel Azazel who is therein represented by the Genesis serpent. The word ‘azi,’ from whence is derived the name Azazel, means ‘serpent/snake’). This is another reason why the angel Azazel was associated with the serpent imagery representive of him in The Bible, as snakes are known to make their homes in underground pits, a 16

characteristic analogous to Azazel’s imprisonment within the earth. When in Genesis 3:14 it was said of the serpent “dust you shall eat all the days of your life,” it is because this prophesied a future judgment against the angel Azazel, God sentencing Azazel to interment within the earth. It is the Genesis serpent Azazel and the angels entrapped within the earth of which The Apocryphon of John warns its readers: “Guard yourself against the angels of misery (the angels within the ‘valley of misery’), the demons of chaos,** and all who entrap you…beware the trap in the bowels of the underworld.” (** Author’s Note: Chaos is by one definition an ‘abyss.’ It is these ‘demons of chaos,’ the demons in the abyss, whom practitioners of Chaos Magic, namely, psychonaut Peter Carroll [b. England, 1953 A.D.] and the Illuminates of Thanateros [IOT]/the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros invoke and with whom they are in league. ‘Thanateros’ is a compound word derived from Thanatos, the Greek god [angel] of death who is Azazel, and the Greek god of love Eros, the famously amorous god likewise representative of Azazel) The Bible speaks of Azazel as being: “…the angel of the bottomless pit (the angel who is imprisoned within the earth); his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.” Revelation 9:11. In English this translates as ‘Destroyer.’ This is in reference to the angel Azazel. Compare the word ‘Apollyon’ to the word ‘Apollo,’ two names by which Azazel’s cherub Behemoth was known. The system of Magic encapsulated in the grimoire known as The Greater Key of Solomon invokes the rebel angel Azazel under the name of ‘Abaddon,’ identifying him as “ye who by your own sin have been cast down from the Empyreal Heaven, and from before His (God’s) Throne; by Him (God) who hath cast ye down unto the most profound of the Abysses of Hell (Sheol)” (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VI). In India, the word Buddha was coined as a derivative of the name Abaddon: “In India, the ‘Great Abad’ is Bhudda, Bauddha, Buddha, or Baddha. There is a connection suggested here with the Abaddon of the Greeks.” - The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries p.294 by Hargrave Jennings (Abaddon is a compound word meaning Lord Abad, coupling the title don from the Latin dominus meaning lord with the name of that ‘other god’ Abad. In the Old Testament of the The Bible, the Hebrew root abad [as we learn from Strong’s Hebrew Accordance] is used to 17

denote the “other gods” worshipped by the nations whom the peoples served and for whom they worked by their labors and to whom they were held in bondage and by whom in the strictly occult sense of the word, they were compelled to “labour as slaves.” The slaves shall indeed serve)

Azazel is what is known as a ‘destroying angel’ (as an example Psalms 78:49 describes the presence of an entire company of destroying angels). The Koran calls these ‘destroying angels’ the Malaikut al-Maut, which translates as ‘angels of death.’ Compare the name of the Semitic god Dumuzi (also known as Tammuz), who represents the angel Azazel, to that of Dûmãh, the Angel of Death of the Hebrews, Chief of demons, who was known to Islamists as the Archangel of Death, Azrael, who likewise represented Azazel (one authority on the subject equates the god Duma [Dûmãh] with Tammuz [See S.F. Dunlap, Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p.76]). Through the transposition of letters, Duma can alternatively be rendered Damu: “‘Alas! my Damu, my healer’ … As a healer he (Tammuz, who is Azazel) is usually referred to by the title Damu (from whence is derived Damuzi/Dumuzi).” - Tammuz and Ishtar p. 34/36 (S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 A.D.). The god Tammuz (Azazel) was also known as Ab-u (See p.44 Tammuz and Ishtar by S. Langdon, 1914 A.D.). And Azazel was also known as Adad/Hadad/Haddu (from whence is derived the word Hades). One may conceivably combine the Semitic words Ab/Abu Haddu (Father Haddu) into the word Buddha (as well as Abaddon/Abad/Adad). From the fact Azazel was also known as Abu comes the following definition of the Greek word ‘Abussos’ (also known as Ur-Khaos) as found in The KJV New Testament Greek Lexicon: “Bottomless; unbounded; the abyss; the pit; the immeasurable depth of Orcus (the Gaulish god Orcus [Orcus being a transliteration of Ur-Khaos], god of the underworld in which he is entrapped, a god who represented Azazel who is entrapped within the Earth [aka Lord Sathanas who art in Orcus, the serpent seducer of Eve of the Gnostic Ophites (See pp.518,523 Magic by Hans Holzer) of the Ohio-based Gerald B. Gardner/Brad Steiger-associated Our Lady of Endor Coven founded in 1948 A.D. by Herbert Arthur Sloane]; compare to ‘Orus’ [also known as Orus Apollo], a synonym of both ‘Horus’ and ‘Orcus’), a very deep gulf or chasm in the lowest parts of the earth used as the common receptacle of the dead (the dead angel/human hybrids) and especially as the abode of demons (read: the abode of the fallen angels where they remain entrapped within the earth).” 18

The Judaic name for Azazel, namely Ashmodai/Asmodeus, the ‘king of demons’ frequently invoked by medieval Kabalists, whom Zoroastrians celebrated as Aeshma-daevas, derives his name from the Hebrew word ASAMOD, meaning, “to destroy,” as in the ‘Destroyer/Abaddon/Apollyon,’ as related above in Revelation 9:11 (the ‘Circle-A’ symbol for anarchy is also derived from the legends of Azazel for as we learn from The Secret Societies Handbook [Michael Bradley, 2004 A.D.]: “Asmodeus [the Destroyer, who is Azazel] is also the symbol for anarchy—an upper case ‘A’ inside a circle is a depiction of Asmodeus [Azazel].”). Asmodeus was portrayed as a serpent (Vita Adae Et Evae, which translates as The Life of Adam and Eve, identifies the serpent of the Garden, who is Azazel, as the ‘Destroyer.’ Indeed, the Athenian Apollo (also known as the Destroyer/Abaddon/Apollyon, and which represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth) was associated with the serpent (representing the Genesis serpent Azazel). In fact, the Greek god Apollo was also called Python (See Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man, S.F. Dunlap, 1858 A.D., p.54, 55), a word employed as the name for a genus of snakes. It is also of a most interesting and revealing note that the “Sacred Word,” worthy of reverence, of the high-degree Freemasonic “Grand Council of Knights of the East and West” is Abaddon (See The Mysteries of Freemasonry “as written by Captain William Morgan** [for which exposé Capt. Morgan was assassinated], by George R. Crafts,” p. 211 [**See also Illustrations of Freemasonry by William Morgan, 1827 A.D.]). In Tablet II of The Emerald Tablets of Thoth from Egypt it is said concerning Azazel and his group of fallen angels: “…the Children of Light (the shining ones/the fallen angels) looked down on the world. Seeing the children of men (humans)…Down they descended and created bodies, taking the semblance of men as their own…living in the world (on our Earth) as children of men (incarnated),” being “like and yet unlike the children of men.” It goes on to explain that this particular grouping of angels who have the appearance of men live in “a dwelling place, far ‘neath the earth crust” beneath the surface of the Earth. Azazel and his group of angels are therein identified as “Custodians and watchers” of men who from their subterranean abode are “guiding, directing the destiny of man” and this they do as must be noted through the Overshadowing process as the reader shall later discover. These fallen angels (as well as Satan’s group of rebel angels who hide themselves within the seas) have long manipulated people in 19

positions of power in the nations of our World. The New Earth home of the angels, the creation of which is related in Genesis 2:4-25, is located amongst the seven stars of the Pleiades group. Amos 5:8 tells us God created the Pleiades, where the New Earth is located. The Pleiades grouping of stars are again mentioned in Job 9:9 and Job 38:31 as being specifically God’s creation, highlighting the angel’s association with this area. The Pleiades are located in the astrological grouping of stars in the sign of Taurus, Taurus being represented as a bull, a common symbol for an angel. According to Freemasonic teachings derived from the teachings of the ancient Mysteries, the Pleiades are seven stars situated at the upper end of a great Sacred Ladder. If we assume that our Earth is at the bottom of this ladder, and the angels move up and down it as we esoterically learn from the Biblical parable of Jacob’s Ladder (See Genesis 28:12), this would throw a light upon the Freemason’s own esoteric knowledge that the New Earth, from where the incarnated angels came to our Earth, is located in the Pleiades group of stars. Indeed, in some versions of the story of the angels’ descent to our Earth, the angels are said to descend down “Jacob’s Ladder.” Jacob’s Ladder is the name by which is known the route traversed by the angels in their descent from the New Earth in the Pleiades group to our own Earth. For this reason, the Egyptian god Horus, who represented Azazel, is called the “traverser of the two earths” (See The Origin and Evolution of Freemasonry by Albert Churchward) as well as “Horus of the two horizons” in reference to these two earths [Author’s Note: There is a pre-Inca mythology which holds their gods had come from the Pleiades constellation, and the name of the Hindu god Kartikeya translates as ‘Him of the Pleiades.’ Additionally of an interesting note, according to the Pleiades selection from the Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology: “Early in the twentieth century, the leader (33° Freemason Charles Taze Russell) of the group (this group is The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society) later known as the Jehovah’s Witnesses suggested that one of the stars of the Pleiades was actually the throne of the Lord God Jehova.” (Pertinent Quote: “If flying saucers actually exist as extraterrestrial spaceships, then the Pleiades might deserve a place high on the list of possible origins.” – p.176 Why UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D. To further explore this concept, that flying saucers are the flying ‘wheels’ of the Watchers as described in The Bible, see The Demonic Theory of UFOs by John of the Gentiles) (For a detailed account of the events which lead to the coming of these angels to our Earth, see Evildoer Added to Evildoer: The Story of Satan, Azazel and the Rebellious Angels by John of the Gentiles. The story of the angels may also be found in Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles. While certain materials may be found to overlap, each book is designed as a unique, stand-alone informative body of material)

Chapter 2. The Mysteries of Azazel “Many supposed mythological traditions of ancient Greece have been demonstrated to have had a foundation in fact and history; and we may assume that such is possibly the case to a far greater extent than has yet been proven, and that this applies to the traditions of other localities and people as well…” - Solar Biology by Hiram E. Butler, 1887 A.D. Azazel and his angels have been worshipped as gods by mankind here on Earth ever since their arrival thereupon. Vulcan, one such name under which the Romans knew the angel Azazel, was worshipped in subterranean volcanic caves on the Aegean island of Hephaestus (an island so named after one of the Greek titles for Azazel, the god of metalworking, arms and armor) in deference to Azazel’s entrapment within the earth. Azazel’s entrapment within his cherub within the earth is also memorialized in the story of Typhon, a god who represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, being entrapped by Zeus who was said to have crushed him with a mountain, an act representative of the comet strike which imprisoned Azazel in his cherub beneath the earth. It must be noted the word ‘Typhon’ is an anagram of the word ‘python,’ the name for a genus of snakes found in Africa and Asia. This is in deference to the general location of the Genesis serpent Azazel’s entombment within the earth. ‘Manes’ is the Roman word and ‘mani/man’ the Etruscan word used to denote Azazel and the angels who accompanied him to the Earth way way back in the antediluvian day 5000 years B.C. In the Etruscan religious belief system, the mani (Latin: manes) are the divine souls of ancestors (to whom they believed they were descended—the Romans as previously noted traced their lineage from these angelic ‘gods’ as well) who were said to be located in an underworld called Aita (a cognate of the word ‘Amenti’). Indeed, such cthonic legends are present in nearly every ancient culture and religious system. According to Freemasonic and Qabbalistic legends, themselves based upon such ancient Mystery religions, Hiram, the builder of Solomon’s Temple was said to have plunged through the Molten Sea right into the center of the Earth where at that time dwelt someone said to be the first worker in metals. This legend is in deference to the 21

story of the angel Azazel who first taught men to work in metals (See 1Enoch VIII.1), and of Azazel’s subsequent imprisonment within the earth. The Molten Sea (Lake of Fire) therein represents “God’s Cauldron,” the sea of molten rock in which Azazel was encased. The Molten Sea, the brazen laver of the Mosaic ritual, was a major architectural element in King Solomon’s Temple (See 1Kings 7:25), it representing the place of Azazel’s interment within the Earth. The story of Azazel and his eternally living angels surviving their ordeal being imprisoned within the earth and how they may in fact be contacted is a central theme in the realm of magic. The Cambridge University educated 33° Freemason Aleister Crowley (b.1875 - d.1947A.D.) believed the story of the angels’ interment within the earth to be such a historical truth, it being a basic belief of all magical societies past and present including the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The 19th Century French Freemason, ceremonial magician/astrologer Eliphas Levi (b.1810 - d.1875A.D.), also continuing magic traditions dating back to ancient Biblical times, speaks of them in his writings, as does the eminent British black-magic practitioner Dr. John Dee (b.1527 - d.1608A.D.) of Enochian Magick fame, official of the court of Queen Elizabeth I (Dee was the court astrologer and as such a caster of horoscopes; in his time, astrology and astronomy went hand in hand with ceremonial magic practices— astrologers/astronomers were also sorcerers as a rule: “Astrologers were concerned with the relation of stars and planets to man, and their influence on his fate and character. These arts bordered on one side upon philosophy, mysticism, metallurgy, physics and astronomy, and on the other upon pure magic. The astrologer undoubtedly knew a great deal about the movements of planets, but he also predicted the future…cast horoscopes, and often invoked spirits.” – p.171 Witchcraft in England by Christina Hole, 1947 A.D. Astronomer Johannes Kepler as well as the stately Galileo were known for casting astrological horoscopes as well (as Rene Guenon explains in The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times: “…the attribution of a separate meaning to the terms ‘astrology’ and ‘astronomy’ is of relatively recent origin; among the Greeks both words were employed, without distinguishing between them…”). Astrology was a popular pursuit of the royalty of the period, a fact which holds true to this day—all members of the aristocracy would have a horoscope worked out for them by a sorcerer/astrologer/astronomer at the time of their births. And by 22

reason of their association with fallen angels ("Congressus cum daemonis") lay the true reason these men were persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church. It is easy to see how astrology would be of interest to the ruling upper classes of British high society as: “A British astrological writer using the pseudonym ‘Astrologus’ stated in 1793 that, from eclipses (especially of the Sun), astrologers could safely predict ‘notable events concerning the rise and fall of governments; the foundation or fall of cities, towns or fortifications—the breach of leagues among princes, the captivity, sorrow or sickness of their miserable subjects; wars, quarrels and tempests; inundations, duels and litigations—religious controversies, and irreligious persecutions among mankind—the death or destruction of cattle, the infidelity of servants and the treachery of friends—the decay of navigation and the loss of shipping…’” - Astrology p.284, Louis MacNeice, 1964 A.D. Besides offering up such regally relevant revelations, the astrologer’s ability to foresee ‘decay of navigation’ as well as ‘the loss of shipping’ would as the reader shall later discover also pique the interest of magic-practicing Freemasonic members of latter day Naval Intelligence communities. Magic, however, had long had an association with naval pursuits particularly during the age of the sail as witches typically offered for sale knotted magical chords: “The chord was used by witches when they sold winds to the sailors. They would sell one with several knots tied in it, and when a sailor untied a knot, a fresh breeze would spring up. The more knots he untied, the greater the wind would become.” – p.44 Lid Off the Cauldron by Patricia Crowther. Indeed: “Witches were supposed to be able to control the weather, especially the wind. They could raise and allay storms and sell favorable winds to sailors…Sailors went in special dread of witches, for a witch’s curse was sufficient to destroy any ship, whether by raising a storm or by any other means.” – Witchcraft in England by Christine Hole, 1947 A.D. Eric Maple in Witchcraft describes the existence of “weather wizards” who claimed that “they can not only bring on storms but can protect the inhabitants from them.” Towards this end it was not an uncommon practice for magicians, witches or shamans to serve as members of a ship captain’s crew. As exemplified in the Biblical book of Jonah, the creation of storms and stormy winds was one of the areas in which God and his angels excelled (See Jonah 1:4). Additionally, navigation by stars certainly entailed the knowledge of astronomy/astrology, a science traditionally the realm of the 23

practitioner of magic, and later technological breakthroughs in this area including the creation of the astrolabe and later the sextant required an adept knowledge of astronomy/astrology and mathematical magic. The magic-practicing ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee was held to be the Father of the Rosicrucian secret society. Dee’s own personal library (including his extensive collection of books on the subject of magic) is currently housed in the Bodleian Library (founded in 1598 A.D. by Thomas Bodley during the reign of Quen Elizabeth I) at the University of Oxford in England where they were no doubt diligently studied by many illustrious attendees including the English ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley. Dr. John Dee had himself at one point served as Warden of Manchester College at Oxford University). The grimoire known as the Simon Necronomicon also speaks of the existence of “Ancient Ones” and of their being imprisoned within the earth (according to H.P. Lovecraft in his fictional work entitled The Dunwich Horror [1929 A.D.] it was Dr. John Dee himself who translated the Simon Necronomicon into English, though as Jacques Bergier states in Extraterrestrial Visitations from Prehistoric Times to the Present [1973 A.D. English Edition]: “Let’s try to separate truth from fiction. Lovecraft himself wrote me in 1935, and confirmed to many other correspondents as well, that he had invented the Necronomicon** in every respect.” (**Abdul Alhazred, the reputed author of the Necronomicon, being an anagram of sorts: Ed A-Bull-Hazard. Lovecraft was descended from the Hazard family of Rhode Island. Ed A = Edmund Andros who was overthrown by colonists during the 1689 Boston revolt following the ascension of William and Mary to the English throne; Bull = Henry Bull [who succeeded Edmund Andros after Edmund Andros’ arrest]; Hazard = Thomas Hazard [the associate of Henry Bull from whom Lovecraft was descended]).

Though invented it may be, it had been based on prevailing beliefs long vetted by the ancient sands of time). This term “Ancient Ones” was taken from the Egyptian Book of the Dead (See Plate XI B.D. Chap. CXLVII) which calls Osiris (Azazel/Behemoth) the “Ancient One.” For this reason Azazel is also known as the Old Serpent/the Old Man/the Old One/the Old God [head of the Old Gods/Great Old Gods], upon whose devotion was based in part the Old Religion of witchcraft with its attendent ritualist magic practices). The Egyptian god Ra, who also represented one aspect of the angel Azazel (Azazel is also known as Azrael for this particular reason), is likewise called the “Ancient One” (Pertinent Quote: “It is the Watchers [the fallen angels]…that constitute the witch’s true deities…Azael or Azrael 24

[alternatively spelled Azazel] is one of the modern witch’s gods.” Mastering Witchcraft by Paul Huson, 1970 A.D.). In fact, magic incantations and rituals and the use of magical amulets focus on these beings as protection against them or in hopes of summoning them as servants, as well as soliciting their protection from various assorted harms. Such magic incantations were also found amongst the scrolls known as the Dead Sea Scrolls from the Therapeute Essene community of Qumran. The British Knight of the Order of the Garter Sir Elias Ashmole (1617-1692 A.D.), the English antiquarian whose collection (including a part of Dr. John Dee’s library of magic books and manuscripts) forms the basis of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England, who wrote books on such occult sciences as magic (which involves the invocation of these rebellious fallen angels), alchemy and astrology (in his time ceremonial magic and astrology went hand in hand. Ceremonial magicians of the day invoked fallen angels in magic circles protected by astrological signs and additionally cast horoscopes for members of the nobility) and who like “The Father of Modern Satanism” Aleister Crowley was likewise associated with Oxford University, speaks of Azazel and his imprisoned group of fallen angels in his book, The Way to Bliss, revealing them to be a “Nation (as defined as ‘a group of people’) of Wise-Men (think: Magi/Magicians), dwelling…underground…” (in Egypt, an additional title of Azazel was Tahuti, the god of magic, the Chief Seer, the foremost of magicians). Oxford University (as well as its associated Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic group) has long purveyed the esoteric knowledge concerning the fallen angels to the privileged and upper crust of British society, most of whom are/were also high-degree Freemasons. Many are/were in contact with and work/worked in furtherance of the aims of these fallen angels. It must be noted that the Rosicrucian alchemist and ceremonial magician Elias Ashmole, a founding member of the Royal Society, was also a high-degree Freemason (in fact, the Royal Society was itself a Freemasonic construct for most of its early members were prominent English Freemasons. The Royal Society is an order modeled on Salomon’s House, a fictitious society “dedicated to the study of the works and creatures of God” [specifically for the study of Illuminism as defined as the universal science of light, for and I quote the study of “God’s first creature, which was light” the creation of which is set forth in Genesis 1:3] and “for the finding out of the true nature of all things” as 25

outlined in Rosicrucian grand master Sir Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis). The legends concerning the existence of the subterranean angels would most certainly be disseminated amongst the society’s august members, likely oweing its very existence to the self-same angels themselves, whom they ritually invoked and with whom they were in contact. It must also be noted Royal Society members currently sit on British government committees of a scientific nature. Notable Foreign Members of the Royal Society have included J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “Father of the Atomic Bomb,” and the wise man who made it all possible, nuclear physicist (E=mc²) Albert Einstein, who, revealingly enough, as we shall see, had connections to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and to an associated magicpracticing-fallen-angel-invoking group of scientists located in the sanguine environs of the beautiful sun-soaked city of Pasadena in the good ol’ U.S. of A. “The Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge, known simply as the Royal Society, is a learned society for science, and is possibly the oldest such society in existence. Founded in November 1660, it was granted a Royal Charter by King Charles II as the “Royal Society of London.” The Society was initially an extension of the “Invisible College” (Rosicrucianism being the prime motivating factor behind the foundation of the so-called Invisible College itself, it being a Rosicrucian secret society) with the founders intending it to be a place of research and discussion. The Society today acts as a scientific advisor to the British government, receiving a parliamentary grant-in-aid. The Society acts as the UK’s Academy of Sciences, and funds research fellowships and scientific start-up companies…The Royal Society started as a group of approximately 12 scientists (one might argue 13, the traditional number of witches in a traditional English witches coven), known as the Invisible College, which met at a variety of locations, including the houses of their members and Gresham College (whose Divinity School was headed by Thomas Horton, a member of the Worshipful Company of Mercers, the most powerful Masonic livery company in the City of London. Horton would later serve as president of Queen’s College at Cambridge University and would eventually be appointed a Doctor of Divinity by Oliver Cromwell at Oxford University). Members at particular times were (Dr.) John Wilkins (John Wilkins, Oliver Cromwell’s brother-in-law, was a Warden at Oxford University’s 26

Wadham College who would later author a book entitled Mathematical Magic Or The Wonders that May Be Performed by Mechanical Geometry in 1691 A.D.), Jonathan Goddard, Robert Hooke (astronomer/later a Fellow of the Royal Society), Christopher Wren (Freemason; builder of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London; later Fellow of the Royal Society), William Petty and Robert Boyle (Robert Boyle was an alchemist/chemist who served as the Grand Master of the Rosicrucian’s Priory of Sion). The group discussed the “new science,” as promoted by Cambridge University alumni/Rosicrucian grand master Sir Francis Bacon in his New Atlantis, from approximately 1645 onwards (a group of Rosicrucians, this group studied ‘Rosicrucianism,’ the Hermetic sciences of alchemy/chemistry, ceremonial magic [also known as ritual magic], ‘medical’ magic, ‘natural magic,’ ‘mathematical magic,’ witchcraft, and ancient mysteries such as astrology, astronomy, etc.)…The group varied over time, eventually splitting into two distinct factions in 1638 due to travel distances; the London Society and the Oxford Society. The Oxford Society was more active owing to the fact that many members of the overall College (Oxford University) lived there, and was established as The Philosophical Society of Oxford, run under a set of rules still retained by the Bodleian Library (most ‘philosophy’ books of the time are written on the subject of alchemy, astrology, magic, pagan myths/mysteries, etc. The early Christian author Tertullian once wrote: “…philosophers are the patriarchs of heresy.” Indeed, The Bible itself in Colossians 2:8 warns: “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” At any rate, England retained anti-witchcraft laws called Witchcraft Acts which forbade all such magic practices upon its books in one degree or another often mandating the death or imprisonment of the offender from the year 1542 A.D. until the ultimate repeal of the Witchcraft Acts in 1951 A.D. which helps to account for the secrecy of the group’s own proceedings)… There are currently four Royal Fellows: Prince Philip, Prince Edward, the Princess Royal and Prince William of Wales (Wales, it must be mentioned, was and still is the bastion of the magic group known as the Ancient Order of Druids)…” – Wikipedia: The Royal Society.

Another Fellow and one-time President of the Royal Society of note (which he joined in 1672 A.D.) was the Lucasian professor at 27

Cambridge University Sir Isaac Newton (he held the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics from 1669 – 1687 A.D.). Isaac Newton is the famous physicist who ‘discovered’ the law of gravity (during his studies at Cambridge U. he became well versed in the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle, both of whom were ‘white magic’ adepts. Cambridge University was in fact an English Rosicrucian school of magic—the celebrated English Rosicrucian adept Dr. Robert Fludd had himself graduated from Cambridge University’s St. John’s College in 1591 A.D. [Fludd, a distinguished Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, was a friend of the German Rosicrucian alchemist/Paracelsian physician Michael Maier, author of The Laws of the Fraternity of the Rosie Cross, personal physician and counselor to the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, King of Bohemia [Queen Elizabeth I was the last of the line of the Welsh House of Tudor. It was under the Tudor dynasty’s reign during the regency of King Henry VIII (Henry VIII, a Knight of the Order of the Garter, was the father of Queen Elizabeth I), a political/military ally of another famous patron of the magical arts, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian I (whose titles included King of Bavaria), that England’s break with the Catholic Church occurred]. The Rosicrucian Dr. Robert Fludd’s medical practice was located on Coleman Street in the City of London area (See p.49 The Magical Mason)]). (Cambridge University, it must be noted, was the leading intellectual center of the [anti-Roman Catholic Church] Puritan movement, the group which would play a major role in the history of the American colonies). In later years, members of the British Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia Rosicrucian order would give birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn which recruited many of its members from Cambridge University’s student body. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley’s parents were themselves staunch Puritans). Sir Isaac Newton at the time was the purported Rosicrucian Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, as well as being a philosopher/mathematician/alchemist/astronomer (astronomers were as a rule ceremonial magicians and astrologers, and history’s most celebrated magicians of the past have at the same time been the most brilliant of scientists and mathematicians—as British occult historian Francis A. Yates points out in Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition (1964 A.D.) p.134: “Mathematics are most necessary in magic…When a magician follows natural philosophy and mathematics and knows the middle sciences which come from them—arithmetic, 28

music, geometry, optics, astronomy, mechanics—he can do marvellous things. We see to-day remains of ancient works, columns, pyramids, huge artificial mounds. Such things were done by mathematical magic.” In fact what was then known as ‘natural magic’ [aka ‘natural philosophy’] was the study of what we now know as physics, ‘celestial magic,’ as mathematics: “Agrippa’s work [Occult Philosophy] is divided into three books; the first book is about natural magic, or magic in the elemental world; the second is about celestial magic; the third is about ceremonial magic. These three divisions correspond to the divisions of philosophy into physics, mathematics, and theology.” – Ibid p.131. As the English Rosicrucian adept Robert Fludd similarly noted, there were various classifications of magic in his day including amongst which was: “Natural magic…that most occult and secret department of physics by which the mystical properties of natural substances are [alchemically] extracted” as well as Mathematical Magic “which enables adepts in the art to construct marvellous machines by means of their geometrical knowledge” [See The Real History of the Rosicrucians p.293 by A.E. Waite]. Automata, the modern computer, the airplane, the automobile and the locomotive would certainly all fall within the category of ‘marvelous machines,’ magical mechanisms wrought wholly through the knowledge of ‘mathematical magic’ without which wisdom the Industrial Revolution should not have been made possible. The Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary p.596 itself explains: “Magic is of two kinds—natural or scientific and supernatural or spiritual. The first attributes its power to a deep, practical aquaintence with the power of nature [physics]. The second attributes its power to an aquaintence with celestial or infernal agencies.” Even ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi would himself at one point similarly exclaim: “Magic is the science of the secrets of nature.” As Jules Michelet writes: “Agrippa and others affirm, that all science is contained in magic. In white magic undoubtedly.” - p.202 La Sorciere by J. Michelet, 1862 A.D. And as H.P. Blavatsky enlightens her own followers: “Maimonades, the great Jewish theologian and historian…has successfully demonstrated that the Chaldean Magic, the science of Moses and other learned thaumaturgists [ceremonial magicians] was wholly based on an extensive knowledge of the various and now forgotten branches of natural science.”- Isis Unveiled. As Nesta Webster would very astutely note concerning these early magical pratices: “It is obvious that all these have now passed into the realms of science and 29

are no longer regarded as magical arts.” One may quote mystic after mystic and the story is always the same: “Under the old title of magic, a Persian term signifying knowledge, was included every science, natural or metaphysical, which was cultivated.” – New Platonism and Alchemy by Alexander Wilder, 1869 A.D. But magical arts they are indeed, and much knowledge may be gleened from ancient books authored on the subject of magic when one recognizes these writings for what they truly are, scientific works containing secrets provided by the fallen angels, the very subject of my book The Knowledge of Wisdom). The physicists of today including Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer are in fact linear descendents of the magicians of the past. As the physicist Lawrence LaShan himself professes in his book The Medium, the Mystic and the Physicist [itself a testament to the fact magic and physics are entirely and inextricably intertwined]: “…there is a great similarity between the world-view of the mystic, the [Spiritualist] medium and the physicist.” Of a slightly less than interesting though nothing short of significant note, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron (a fifth cousin to Queen Elizabeth II) majored in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University (“Paul the blessed apostle, my beloved brethren, writing to the Corinthians who inhabit Laconian Greece, spake saying, “The wisdom of this world is folly in the sight of God” [1 Cor. iii, 19], and he said not amiss. For it seems to me to have taken its beginning from the rebellion of the angels; for which cause the philosophers put forth their doctrines…” - Derision of Gentile Philosophers [Hermias]. Political as well as economic doctrines included, as we shall later learn) (Concerning the creation of the utopian New Atlantis, the institution of which this group of Rosicrucians promoted: “Bro [Freemasonic Brother] Hughan, of Dunscore, Torquay, Devon, England, ventures in the History by the 80 Luminaries [“Among the 80 Luminaries, 15 belong to the British Empire, one is a Doctor of Oxford and Bishop of Iowa”], pp. 30, 31, to declare that the ‘New Atlantis’ seems to be and probably is the key to the modern rituals of Freemasonry [which in itself is merely warmed over Rosicrucianism].” - Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry by L. Fouquet, 1898 A.D. Indeed, Thomas de Quincey [1785-1859 A.D.], who attended Worcester College in Oxford, England, professed modern masonry [Freemasonry] to be nothing more than a modified form of Rosicrucianism. By the definition proffered in the Rosicrucian work entitled Cosmology by Franz Hartmann [Boston 30

1888 A.D., p.7], a Rosicrucian is but a Hermetic philosopher, by definition a practitioner of Graeco-Egyptian magic practices, including amongst which arts is alchemy, subject matter of the majority of Rosicrucian writings. The Secret Societies of All Ages and Countries p.225 [Heckethorne, 1897 A.D.] informs us: “In 1646 [as the English Civil War was winding down] Elias Ashmole, William Lilly [a Spiritualist magician whose book Christian Astrology was published in 1647 A.D.], Dr. Thomas Wharton, George Wharton, Dr. J. Pearson, and others [all known practitioners of magic] formed a Rosicrucian society in London, practically to carry out a scheme propounded in [Francis] Bacon’s New Atlantis** [their plan was to make Bacon’s Utopian civilization outlined in New Atlantis arise in the Americas, in the Puritan havens of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, its associated Connecticut Colony and in the colony of Pennsylvania as well]… Some of the members of this society were Freemasons, hence they were enabled to hold their meetings in Mason’s Hall [originally constructed in 1463 A.D. and demolished in 1865 A.D.], Mason’s Alley [the western portion of Mason’s Avenue was known as Mason’s Alley], Basinghall Street [near Coleman Street]” [formally known as the Hall of the Worshipful Company of Masons located at 12-15 Mason’s Avenue] located in the City of London area [and indeed, it is to the ‘Goose and Gridiron’ pub in St. Paul’s Churchyard also located nearby Mason’s Hall there in the City of London where the the Freemasonic Grand Lodge of England, the Blue Lodge from which the Illuminati would draw its own membership ranks, was originally constituted in 1717 A.D. (See p.99 Secret Societies and Subversive Movements)]. This group of Freemasons traced their genesis to the Knights Templar group whose Temple Church English headquarters is located there in Temple, London in the Medieval City of London area (its City of London Corporation governing body employs the Knights Templar’s red cross on white shield emblem which is symbolic of the fallen angel Azazel [See Appendix A]). As we learn from History of the Middle Temple: “The history of the Middle Temple (the western portion of the Temple, London complex) is a long and fascinating one. Templars (Knights Templars) held the estate of the Temple from the twelfth century until their suppression in the early fourteenth century; thereafter the lawyers (of the Temple Bar, home of The Royal Courts of Justice [located immediately nearby to the latter-day London School of Economics]) came (that the five largest law firms in the United Kingdom are today collectively and informally known as the ‘Magic 31

Circle’ says a lot in itself I should think. These lawyers included Irish attorney-general Sir John Davies [an associate of the British spymaster Sir Robert Cecil] whose poem “The Immortality of the Soul” had brought him within the sphere of Queen Elizabeth I whose main court advisor was ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee, himself a member of the informal Invisible College). The magnificent Tudor Hall of the Middle Temple was completed in 1574… Many persons other than lawyers became members of Middle Temple (formally known as The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple amongst whose members today is the philosophically inclined British Prime Minister David Cameron) - among them (Rennaissance-era alchemist) Sir Walter Raleigh, Elias Ashmole, Edward Hyde (Earl of Clarendon), William Congreve, Henry Fielding (a poet, playwright and London’s Chief Magistrate who was a lifelong friend of William Pitt the Elder), Edmund Burke (a British Whig party M.P. known for his support of the American Revolution. Edmund Burke was associated with the aforementioned group of London Rosicrucians particularly through his friend Dr. Thomas Wharton), (Sir) William Cowper (Cowper was Lord Palmerston’s son-in-law) and William Makepeace Thackeray (secretary to the board of revenue in the British East India Company whose friend, Edwin de Leon, was leader of the Carbonari’s Young America Youth Movement group. In Thackeray’s day the Royal Society was housed at Carlton House Terrace in Westminster, London, home to the illuminus British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston under whose Freemasonic machinations the Youth Movement was originally founded). Another notable Middle Templar was explorer Bartholomew Gosnold (one of the founders/original shareholders of the joint stock London Company which owned and financed the first permanent English colony at Jamestown, Virginia), discoverer of Cape Cod, who named a nearby island Martha’s Vineyard in honour of his six-year-old daughter (later purchased in 1641 A.D. and colonized in 1642 A.D. by the Puritan Boston merchant Thomas Mayhew the Elder, a close associate of Benjamin Franklin’s grandfather, Peter Folger). From those beginnings grew the thirteen American colonies, and in due course five Middle Templars signed the American Declaration of Independence on 4 July 1776. Moreover, the US Constitution was drafted by a committee chaired by yet another Middle Templar, John Rutledge, who, along with six other Middle Templars, was among its 39 original signatories [the majority of which were Freemasons and Rosicrucians].” Lawyers from the Inner Temple (and the Outer 32

Temple as well) including John Winthrop, Jr., son of Massachusetts Bay Colony founder John Winthrop the Elder, would play active roles in the establishment of America. John Winthrop Jr., a co-founder of the Connecticut Colony (encompassing the modern state of Connecticut) was a well known alchemist/Fellow of the Royal Society who would serve as governor of the Connecticut Colony. Today, circa 2013 A.D., the City of London [where the Bank of England itself (originally built upon the site of a mithraeum, a Roman temple dedicated to the god Mithras [Azazel], the City of London being the location of the old Roman trading post of Londinium) is located just a short distance away from Mason’s Hall] is the epicenter of the global financial system and is controlled by the very Rosicrucian/Freemasonic secret societies noted above [For additional historical information concerning the City of London, see David Icke’s eye-opening film, Revelations of a Mother Goddess]). (**“[Rosicrucian grand master Sir Francis] Bacon’s circle of friends included many Britons who undoubtedly had access to the elder secrets carried through the Knights Templar on into Freemasonry. These included [English poet/playwright] Christopher Marlowe, [English poet] Edmund Spenser, [English poet/playwright] Ben Johnson, [English poet/playwright] Edward de Vere [17th Earl of Oxford, an official in the court of Queen Elizabeth I], [English playwright] John Fletcher and [English poet/playwright] Philip Sidney [an official in the court of Queen Elizabeth I whose wife Frances Walsingham was the daughter of British spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I’s Secretary of State], all of whom were [spies] connected to the national intelligence service created by Queen Elizabeth [I]… They were early Freemasons, members of the secret society created from stonemason guilds by the Knights Templar following their dissolution in 1307.” – p.325-326 Our Occulted History by Jim Marrs, 2013 A.D. Note the British Intelligence agency association with poets and the theater stage as it is of the utmost import later on in our story) Another associated philosophical society of note to be found in colonial America, ground zero of the New Atlantis, was itself the creation of a Freemason and Rosicrucian of the very highest degree: “The American Philosophical Society is a discussion group founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin (b. 1706 - d. 1790 A.D.) as an offshoot of his earlier club, the Junto… From the beginning, the Society attracted 33

some of America’s finest minds. Early members included [long-time friend and fellow high-degree Freemason] George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson [Thomas Jefferson was an associate of Royal Society-member/alchemist Joseph Priestley—Priestley’s own friends included Thomas Paine’s publisher, Royal Society-member Joseph Johnson, and Royal Society–member Benjamin Franklin (both Franklin and Priestley had been members of the Lunar Society of Birmingham [England], an amalgamated group of scientists and inventors credited with the birth of the Industrial Revolution)], Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Paine…James Madison…and John Marshall. The Society also drew philosophers from other nations as members, including…the Marquis de Lafayette, [and] Baron von Steuben (Baron Von Steuben was an aristocratic Freemason who had served in the Prussian Army as an aide-de-camp to that famous devotee of the magical arts, the Rosicrucian King, Frederick the Great. Benjamin Franklin had belonged to the same French Freemasonic lodge, the Les Neuf Sœurs, as another of King Frederick’s friends, the Illuminus philosopher Voltaire [which lodge along with Voltaire played a major role in the French Revolution])…” – Wikipedia: American Philosophical Society. Subversive Freemasonic revolutionaries, all. According to the Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology: “Franklin associated with Rosicrucians (per John Robinson in Proofs of a Conspiracy p.54 [1798 A.D.], Rosicrucians in his day, besides being engrossed in the science of alchemy [chemistry], were additionally Spiritualists [“ghost-raisers”] and practitioners of “magic” in general. No doubt the Royal Society was itself largely a Rosicrucian body as Benjamin Franklin’s Royal Society colleague Joseph Priestley was both an alchemist and a Spiritualist as well) and became a Freemason in February 1730, a member of the Lodge of the Nine Muses [also known as Les Neuf Sœurs, French for ‘The Nine Sisters,’ though named in honor of The Nine (Ennead) pantheon of Egyptian gods], which was said to have influenced [read: instigated] the French Revolution” [Benjamin Franklin was also associated with the Institute of France which was also founded by this very same Freemasonic lodge]. Modern day Juntos of note include: “There are several modernday Juntos modeled on Franklin’s original meeting operating today. Hedge fund manager Victor Niederhoffer has been running the New York City Junto since 1985. Meeting monthly, the New York Junto focuses on libertarianism, Objectivism (the philosophy of Ayn Rand), and investing [the philosophy of Ayn Rand tends to be anti-Christian 34

in nature (of an interesting if not related note, as Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey himself muses: “I give people Ayn Rand with trappings,” that his own brand of Satanism is simply “Ayn Rand’s philosophy with ceremony and ritual added.” Indeed, according to the Church of Satan’s website: “Objectivism, the philosophy of Ayn Rand, is an acknowledged source for some of the Satanic philosophy as outlined in The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey.”)]. Ayne Rand herself has acknowledged the Greek philosopher Aristotle as being her greatest influence [and perhaps Aristotle wasn’t the very best person to emulate seeing as how Aristotle’s flawed astronomical observations were subsequently repudiated by the astrologer Galileo (who like Aristotle was also a caster of horoscopes, as well as being by definition a ceremonial magician) in 1610 A.D. with the publishing of his treatise entitled The Star Messenger, although both individuals are good examples of ‘mathematical magic’ adepts]. Significantly enough, from Clement of Alexandria [Stromata Book VI Chapter 6] we learn: “Aristotle [384 – 322 BC] says that all men are provided with daemons that attend on them during the time they are in the body” (particularly, I feel the need to add, those men of a magic-practicing philosophical bent as channeling one’s magical Muse was the philosopher’s main objective). At any rate, Aristotle was a student of the Greek philosopher Plato, and Plato was a well-known practitioner of the socalled “white” form of magic as it has been said: “...magic has two forms. One consists wholly in the operations and powers of demons, and consequently this appears to me, as God is my witness, an execrable and monstrous thing. The other proves, when thoroughly investigated, to be nothing else but the highest realization of natural philosophy (alternatively known as ‘natural magic’ as the words magic and philosophy are virtually synonymous). The Greeks noted both these forms. However, because they considered the first form wholly undeserving the name magic they called it goeteia, reserving the term mageia, to the second, and understanding by it the highest and most perfect wisdom. The term ‘magus’ in the Persian tongue, according to Porphyry, means the same as ‘interpreter’ and ‘worshipper of the divine’ in our language…The first [goeteia] is the most deceitful of arts; the second [mageia], a higher and holier philosophy [note the association of magic, mageia, with philosophy]. The former is vain and disappointing; the later, firm, solid and satisfying. The practitioner of the first always tries to conceal his addiction, because it always rebounds to shame and reproach, 35

while the cultivation of the second, both in antiquity and at almost all periods, has been the source of the highest renown and glory in the field of learning [magic itself was a subject well-studied at Oxford University where: “…the first recorded chancellor of the University, Robert Grosseteste, accepted astronomy-astrology as the supreme science and held that hardly any human activity, whether it was the planting of vegetables or the practicing of alchemy, could dispense with the astrologer’s advice” (See Astrology p.138, Louis MacNeice, 1964 A.D.). In fact, during the Middle Ages universities such as the one to be found at Oxford in England offered degrees in Astrology (and at that time astrologers were exclusively sorcerers, the famed French seer Nostradamus providing an extremely notable example). And indeed, Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanac was by definition an astrological almanac. Compare to the Farmer’s Almanac which offered astronomical/astrological advice to farmers as well]. No philosopher of any worth, eager in pursuit of the good arts, was ever a student of the former (goeteia, ‘black magic’), but to learn the latter (mageia, ‘white magic’), Pythagoras, Empedocles, Plato and Democritus crossed the seas.…” - Oration on the Dignity of Man by the eminent pagan apologist Count Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Even practitioners of white magic (mageia), as we shall learn, invoke the names of rebellious fallen angels]. Nicholas Vardy has been running the London Junto since 2005 [Executive Director of the London Junto Nicholas A. Vardy is founder and Chief Investment Officer of Global Guru Capital (the word ‘guru’ itself signifies an Eastern magic adept), Harvard classmate of the then future U.S. President Barack Obama]. The London Junto meets monthly in the heart of London’s hedge-fund community at the Lansdowne Club [a British social club with extensive Harvard University associations], where Franklin signed the Treaty of Paris [which formally brought an end to the Revolutionary War] with Lord Shelburne [aka William Petty-FitzMaurice (son of the aforementioned Invisible Collegemember William Petty), the Aide-de-Camp to King George III who would later serve as British Prime Minister]. It attracts some of the leading global investment minds of today...”) (Freemasons/Masons, like their Egyptian mystery school counterparts, considered their initiates to be “sons of the widow,” which is the same thing to say, Sons of [the goddess] Isis [Azazel’s human wife], of whom it was written was left a widow upon the “death” [earthen imprisonment] of her husband, Osiris [Behemoth/Azazel]. As Nigel Jackson explains on 36

p.108 of The Pillars of Tubal Cain, Freemasons still refer to themselves as ‘sons of the widow’ he therein explaining: “In pagan terms the phrase is a coded reference to the ‘dying god’ in Middle Eastern mythology [‘mythology’ typically being an admixture of legend and allegory] who dies, descends to the underworld, and is mourned…This ‘widow’ figure appears in many cultures; she is Ishtar weeping for Tammuz, Isis mourning for Osiris,” this concept of course being based upon legends concerning Azazel’s entombment within the earth at the time of the Biblical Flood. For this reason and in a like way America’s subversive Freemasonic Founding Fathers, philosophically-versed, Illuminated revolutionaries, styled themselves the “Sons of Liberty,” which is the same thing to say, sons of the widowed Roman goddess Liberty/Libertas, who likewise represented Azazel’s human wife. Interestingly enough: “In 1731, (Benjamin) Franklin was initiated into the local Masonic (Freemasonic) Lodge. He became Grand Master (leader of the lodges within a Masonic jurisdiction, presiding over a Grand Lodge governing body) in 1734, indicating his rapid rise to prominence in Pennsylvania. That same year, he edited and published the first Masonic book in the Americas, a reprint of James Anderson’s Constitutions of the Free-Masons (which book traces the origins of Freemasonic mysteries and building techniques to the Biblical king Nimrod, builder of cities and towers, and to the “…many learned Priests and Mathematicians, known by the names of Chaldees and Magi…” [See James Anderson’s Constitutions of the Free-Masons pp. 9-10], all being historically prominent pagan practitioners of magic. It is upon such magic practices that Freemasonry is based: “…Freemasonry traces its spiritual lineage to the ancient temple builders, it not merely retains respect for the relevant mystery traditions, but remains committed to their perpetuation.” - Alien Initiations by Harald Kleeman, 2003 A.D.). Franklin remained a Freemason for the rest of his life… In 1743, Franklin (by definition a ‘philosopher’ who is by its archaic definition a practitioner of magic) founded the American Philosophical Society… In recognition of his work with electricity (due to his experimentation into the creation of God’s first creature, light), Franklin received the Royal Society’s Copley Medal in 1753 and in 1756 he became one of the few 18th century Americans to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (he was even one of a group of men formed by the Royal Society to evaluate the Freemason/Martinist/Spiritualist Anton Mesmer’s theory on Animal Magnetism [aka hypnotism (as Sax 37

Rohmer explains in The Romance of Sorcery p.28: “Animal magnetism, in one form or another, plays an important part in many sorceries.” In fact: “The doctrine of animal magnetism was said to have originated with Paracelsus and was much in favor with the old alchemists… the magnetic system…resulted in the discovery of the induced hypnotic trance.” – p.380 An Encyclopaedia of Occultism)])… In 1762, Oxford University awarded Franklin an honorary doctorate (Benjamin Franklin had resided in England from 1757-1762 A.D. as the agent of the Pennsylvania Assembly, this political assembly being at that time the British colony of Pennsylvania’s colonial governing body)…” - Wikipedia: Benjamin Franklin. During his stay in England, Benjamin Franklin was a noted attendee (beginning in 1758 A.D.) of Sir Francis Dashwood’s Hellfire Club: “The club motto was Fais ce que tu voudras (Do what thou wilt), a philosophy of life associated with (Renaissance humanist philosopher) François Rabelais’ fictional abbey (said to have been built by a giant named Gargantua) at Thélème and later used by (the Freemasonic ceremonial magician) Aleister Crowley (thereby paying tribute to this group of practitioners of magic—Crowley, whose motto was ‘Do as thy wilt shall be the whole of the law,’ even named his new religion Thelema in Rabelais’ honor)…According to (English author and Member of Parliament) Horace Walpole (1717-1797 A.D.), the members’ ‘practice was rigorously pagan: Bacchus (a Greek god who represented Azazel) and Venus (a goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife) were the deities to whom they almost publicly (and certainly privately) sacrificed…’” – Wikipedia: Hellfire Club (When one does what one wills more often than not, this will allow him to become ‘Overshadowed’ by angels). Dashwood (later Chancellor of the Exchequer; a close friend of and a political adviser to King George III, the English dictator who is famously mentioned in the American Declaration of Independence from whose perceived tyranical excesses America sought its independence) had retrofitted an old church in the finest mystery religion tradition whereat he held his Hellfire Club meetings within its sinuous subterranean chambers, mimicking the mystery religions of the ancients in typically high-degree Freemasonic fashion as Freemasonry is dedicated as was noted secretly devoted to the perpetuation of pagan Mysteries. Benjamin Franklin would also serve as United States Ambassador to France (1778–1785 A.D.) and to Sweden (1782–1783 A.D.). Note Benjamin Franklin’s Rosicrucian, Royal Society, Oxford University and high-degree 38

Masonry/Freemasonry (as well as English Puritanical) associations. All of these organizations have a long tradition of magic practices associated with the invocation of fallen angels (Pertinent Quote: “…by means of various secret associations, Occultism appears to have been handed down from the times of the Mysteries to our days… by comparing the Bible with old Mythologies and the opinions of modern Theosophists, we have shown that the whole system of the mysteries was probably communicated by those fallen angels who transgressed just before and immediately after the Flood… There is little doubt that the culmination of the mysteries was the worship of Satan himself… It would appear, then, that from remote ages, probably from the time when the Nephilim were upon earth [See Genesis 6:2-4], there has existed a league with the Prince of Darkness, a Society of men consciously on the side of Satan, and against the Most High [God].” Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember, 1889 A.D. And indeed: “…Masonry and philosophy…have been shown to take their rise, either directly or indirectly, from the Mysteries of Antiquity.” – p.8 Mystic Masonry by 33° Freemason J.D. Buck, President of the American Section of the Theosophical Society). The Puritan preacher and Harvard College alumni Cotton Mather (1663-1728 A.D.), a fellow Fellow of the Royal Society, was an old family friend whom Benjamin Franklin has cited as having had had a major influence upon his life. Cotton Mather’s band of Puritan colonists hailed from the pro-Cromwellian Parliamentarian town of Liverpool in England, which group consisted of the bulk of his Oxford-grad grandfather Richard Mather’s congregation from the Toxteth Unitarian Chapel, originally founded in Liverpool by a group of rebel Puritan refugees of the English Civil War’s Bolton Massacre—this group of massacre survivors would later flee Liverpool by ship when Liverpool itself was later confronted by pro-Royalist forces during the ongoing English Civil War, from there they would find refuge in the sylvan expanses of Franklin’s Pennsylvania. Cotton Mathers as had many of his colonial cohorts was known to have mixed pagan folk magic practices into a rather curious brand of Christianity (by definition, Cabala), writing several literary works concerning witchcraft in the colonies as well as condoning its use in certain circumstances, this being, in all actuality, despite the Roman Catholic Church’s best and bloody efforts to wholly stamp out such customs, a quite common English practice from one degree to another (Paradoxically enough, Cotton Mathers would play a prominent role 39

on the prosecution’s side during the Salem Witch Trials which of itself at least in America it would appear was a white magic [magaeia] versus black magic [goetia] contest, two groups historically at odds with one another). It was an associate of Benjamin Franklin, a scientific Fellow of the Royal Society named Joseph Priestley, an alchemist as well as an outspoken supporter of the French Revolution, who is hailed as the founder of Unitarianism itself (which services do in fact include Spiritualist séances as Unitarians are typically Spiritualists. Benjamin Franklin was even present at Priestly’s very first Unitarian service. As modern day Wiccan witch Margot Adler once explained in a WORLD© Magazine article, many such ‘pagan’ Spiritualist practitioners of magic have historically rallied around the Unitarian banner). Following an incident in England where a malevolent mob burned down both his house and his church, Joseph Priestley had fled to America settling near Lancaster County in Franklin’s Pennsylvania (there Joseph Priestley helped found the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia which was later known for its fiery abolitionist sermons and Underground Railroad activities during the later Civil War era. Benjamin Franklin was an imporant co-founder [and would serve as president] of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society established 1775 A.D. whose membership rolls were largely composed of militant anti-slavery Quakers. Pennsylvania would ‘officially’ abolish slavery in 1780 A.D.). Benjamin Franklin’s election in 1751 A.D. to the Pennsylvania Assembly where he became a leader in the long-dominant Quaker party began his nearly 40 years as a distinguished public official. In Franklin’s day, mageia (white magic) was considered to be a ‘good and laudible science,’ being as it were the realm of scientists and philosophers, as Benjamin Franklin most famously was. Benjamin Franklin has a long association with magic and magic practicing groups, he surprisingly enough being a prominant player in the greater Theosophical Movement into which we shall delve more completely. The colony (and later state) of Pennsylvania which Benjamin Franklin called his home with its influx of continental European immigrants was to become importantly enough, the land of the mystic Pow-wow: “Pow-wow is a system of American folk religion and magic associated with the Pennsylvania Dutch (a group of Germanic speaking people which hails from an area which had been historically a part of the old Holy Roman Empire)… Its name comes from the book Pow-wows, or, The Long Lost Friend, written by John George Hohman (John George Hohman was a 40

German-American printer, book seller and compiler of collections of herbal-remedies, magical healings, and magic charms) and first published in German as Der Lange Verborgene Freund (The Long Lost Friend) in 1820 (printed by Hohman himself on the Ephrata Press at the Ephrata Cloister Pietist religious commune situated in Lancaster County, PA. Ephrata had been home to Pietist Conrad Weiser (b.1696-d.1760 A.D.), Pennsylvania Dutch commander of a company of communal Pietist militia with whom Benjamin Franklin had worked during the French and Indian War (the pair would be given the task of constructing a series of defensive forts). Conrad Weiser had additionally served as an emissary between the Pennsylvanian colonists and the local Native American population—Weiser had even resided amongst the Iroquois tribe for a time. Descendents of Conrad Weiser would play key roles in America’s bid for independence, one as a Major-General serving under General George Washington [Ephrata itself would serve as a medical center for the treatment of Washington’s wounded soldiers during the Battle of Brandywine], one becoming America’s very first Speaker of the House of Representatives). Despite the appropriation of ‘pow-wow,’ taken from an Algonquian word for a gathering of medicine men (a group more commonly known as Shamans/witch doctors, in essence, practitioners of magic, Spiritualists who seek signs from a ‘spirit guide,’ a company akin to, I might add, a formal witch’s coven), the collection is actually a very traditional collection of European magic spells, recipes, and folk remedies of a type familiar to students of folklore. The formulas mix prayers, magic words, and simple rituals to cure simple domestic ailments and rural troubles.” - Wikipedia: Pow-wow. Pennsylvanians are notably enough known for employing hex signs (more popularly known as ‘barn stars’ even though they appear on most forms of Pennsylvanian Dutch ‘folk art’) as protective magical charms (a hex is by definition a magical spell [derived from the German word for a witch, namely, Hexe], sometimes wrought with malevolent purposes such as with a curse. The Kabalistic grimoire known as The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses also circulated widely amongst the Pennsylvania Dutch of the period and was particularly employed by black magic practitioners/Spiritualists commonly known as ‘hexenmeisters,’ though also known as hex (witch) doctors: “A hexenmeister deals in spirit-conjuring, spells and hexes…” – p.278 The Encyclopedia of Witches, Witchcraft and Wicca. As Doreen Valiente adds: “Among the Pennsylvania Dutch, hex or hexerai means witchcraft. 41

There is white hexerai and black hexarai, and both kinds make use of drawn symbols (magic charms).” – An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s own magical tradition no doubt owes much to its being the general location of the settlement of German mystic Pietist Johannes Kelpius and his communal colony of Bavarian Rosicrucians which had previously settled in the area back in 1694 A.D., invited to do so by William Penn for whom Pennsylvania was so-named named. Johannes Kelpius was himself an associate of the German Christian Cabalist Baron Knorr von Rosenroth, author of the Kabala Denudata, as well as a disciple of astrologer/astronomer/ceremonial magician Johann Jacob Zimmermann [Johannes Kelpius had succeeded to the leadership of the Pietist group following the death of Zimmermann just prior to embarkation in 1693 A.D.], Zimmermann being a devoted personal disciple of the German Christian Cabalist Jacob Boehme who likewise hails from territories included within the Holy Roman Empire (the Rosicrucians of the Invisible College in England who were connected to the court of Queen Elizabeth I closely interacted with the group of Rosicrucians centered around the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, King of Bohemia [Bavaria], both rulers being well known protectors/patrons of the practitioners of the magical arts [during the late 16th Century, the eminent English Rosicrucian Dr. John Dee and his scrire Edward Kelley practiced magic in Bohemia as guests of the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, a member of the House of Habsburg, from 1586 – 1589 A.D. (For more information see The Queen’s Conjurer by Benjamin Woolley)]. This partnership would continue in the colonies) (Pietists [adherents of the Medieaval mystical teachings of Chassidei Ashkenaz (aka German Pietists) ascetic movement founder Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg, in Bavaria, the Ashkenazi Jewish Rabbi Judah the Pious, author of the Sefer Hasidim (The Book of the Pious) which treats extensively on the subject of spirits and Spiritualism, demons and witchcraft/magic ritual. A classic example of a Chassidei Ashkenaz Hasidim magic book is The Book of the Angel Raziel which reveals to its readers the secrets of the magical arts and “teaches also how to call upon the angels and make them appear before men” (See The Legend of the Jews)] typically engrossed themselves in the study of such occult areas as Cabala, alchemy, the writings of Hermes Trismegistus and the mystics Meister Eckhart as well as works penned by the Pietist’s Spiritualist mentor Jacob Boehme (Hasidim means pious, and hence the term, Pietists). For 42

more information see The German Pietists of Provincial Pennsylvania: 1694-1708 by Julius Friedrich Sachse, 1895 A.D. wherein Sachse identifies Zimmermann’s group of German ‘Pietists’ as being “true Rosicrucian Mystics.” As Sachse goes on to note: “His [Zimmermann’s] party of emigrants…were…a company of Theosophical Enthusiasts — call them Pietists, Mystics, Chiliasts, Rosicrucians, Illuminati, Cathari, Puritans, or what you may — who…came to the western world to put into execution the longcherished plan of founding a true Theosophical (Rosicrucian) community; going out into the wilderness or desert, after the manner of the Essenes [an early group of magic practicing Jewish Kabbalists]… The men who composed this Chapter of Mystics [the Rosicrucian lodge with which Zimmerman was associated— Rosicrucian lodges were known as ‘Chapters of Perfection’] were not only Pietists in the accepted sense of the word, but they were also a true Theosophical (Rosicrucian) Community, a branch of that ancient mystical brotherhood [the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross] who studied and practiced the Kabbala…” - Ibid pp.37-38,62). The Pietists were indeed a group of German Rosicrucians/Illuminati as A.E. Waite explains on p.602 of The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross). A version of alchemist Albertus Magnus’ book of magic entitled Egyptian Secrets was known to have circulated amongst powwowers in this area at this time as well. It was in this soupy magical atmosphere where was developed the Freemasonic Slumbering Groundhog Lodge of Quarryville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and the well-known traditional magic ritual it spawned, customarily held on Groundhog Day. We will return to this subject later. The colony/state of Pennsylvania importantly enough played a key role in both the American Revolutionary War [the U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1776 A.D.] and the American Civil War [Pennsylvania’s southern border is the infamous Mason-Dixon Line which divided the antislavery Northern States of the Union from the pro-slavery Southern States of the Confederacy. Located immediately to the north of the Mason-Dixon Line, Lancaster County was an important stop on the Underground Railroad in its day]) (Notable Quote from Those in the Know: “While there has never been a Church of Satan before [prior to its official founding in 1966 A.D.], there have been groups dedicated to similar principles. In the mid-18th century, Sir Francis Dashwood formed a group known as the Hell Fire Club [one notable Hell Fire Club member was British M.P. John Wilkes, a Fellow of the Royal 43

Society whom British author Eric Maple in his book Witchcraft describes as “a prominent politician and ardent Devil-worshipper.” John Wilkes was also an Oddfellow (Manchester Unity) which is closely fraternally associated with the nefarious American Independent Order of Oddfellows. British M.P. John Wilkes was himself a distant cousin of Carbonari member/presidential assassin John Wilkes Booth. Note well the associations and crossover memberships in these Illuminated groups]. Several of the most influential men in England, at the height of England’s power, gathered together for Satanic feasting, reveling and debauchery, while shaping the destiny of England and the American colonies. Many historians have minimized the group, saying they were little more than fops and dandies, even though the then Prince of Wales [the Prince of Wales has traditionally under the Order of the Garter (organized as the Knights of the Garter) been head of a witch’s coven since 1348 A.D. (See Appendix A)], the [British] Prime Minister [William Pitt the Elder], and the Archbishop of Canterbury [the leader of the Church of England who additionally serves as overseer of the Oxford University school of magic] were included in their number [this so-called ‘Hell Fire Club’ likely represented the coven activities of the Prince of Wales’ Order of the Garter witch’s coven]. Benjamin Franklin’s association with Dashwood and with other members of the group helped lay the foundations for the emerging nation of the United States. [Church of Satan-founder Anton] LaVey maintains, ‘If people knew of the role the Hell Fire Club played in Benjamin Franklin’s structuring of America, it could suggest changes like: ‘One nation, under Satan,’ or ‘United Satanic America.’” - The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey. This book seeks to remedy this lack of focus on America’s magical origins (as does The Satanic States of America by John of the Gentiles). That America was established as a nation rooted in Biblical principles [as argued by Francis A. Schaeffer in A Christian Manifesto, which belief being the main principle in Dominionism] is a fairy tale in itself, unless of course one counts the pagan principles therein encountered within The Bible, such as the Israeli King Saul’s consultation with the spiritualist Witch of Endor who at his request conjures the spirit of the deceased prophet Samuel [or so Saul erroneously thought it to be] during the Spiritualist séance recorded in 1Samuel 28:3-25. One must be well aware of such doublespeak. America was in fact to become a sanctuary for persecuted magic practicing Cabalists. Unbeknownst to many as noted in an interesting 44

exposѐ entitled The Intelligencers and the Fifth Moon of Jupiter: Alchemy in the American Colonies (Newtopian© Magazine, Oct 2012): “Puritan alchemists (Cabalists) founded America…” As the article goes on to explain: “America, the spawn of England, reflected the mother country’s religious diversity… The community of alchemists at home and abroad was in constant touch with each other… Books on the Cabala, the writings of Hermes Trismegistus, the medical and metaphysical works of [Swiss ceremonial magician] Paracelsus [the father of the pharmaceutical sciences] were circulated amongst well read citizens in England and the colonies… Folk magic was a common feature of Puritan life…” The Puritans were a group of British Rosicrucians. As the article goes on to explain, the intellectual center of these American alchemical efforts was Harvard College [and to a large extent, such was the case at Yale University as well] where alchemy and the practice of Paracelsian medical magic prevailed: “Harvard was a hotbed of alchemy. From its presidents to its graduates, alchemy was everybody’s minor.” Harvard’s second president Charles Chauncy was a well known alchemist (as were four of his sons), and the Harvard College educated alchemist/physician George Starkley would himself emmigrate back to England becoming a prominent member of Samuel Hartlib’s Hartlib Circle, serving as alchemical tutor to Sir Robert Boyle (the Hartlib Circle purportedly included Sir Robert Child, Chairman of the British East India Company, the Rosicrucian alchemist Thomas Vaughan and Vaughan’s friend, British spy Sir Robert Moray who would serve as first president of the Royal Society). Chauncy would be succeeded as president of Harvard College by Harvard College/Cambridge University-grad Leonard Hoar, an English-born minister/alchemist friend of Sir Robert Boyle. Royal Society-member Benjamin Franklin himself was an associate of Harvard College president Albert Gallatin. Another Harvard alchemist, William Stoughton (a Puritan ancestor of U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, William Stoughton was one of the infamous judges at the Salem witch trials), would serve as acting governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. John Winthrop, Jr., the son of the Massachusetts Bay Colony founder/Puritan lawyer John Winthrop, Sr. [notable descendents of whom include members of the Harvard College-associated Eliot family of Boston, various members of which would serve as presidents of Harvard as well], was himself a Fellow of the Royal Society (he being a founding member of the Royal Society and an associate of Samuel Hartlib as well)/alchemist co45

founder of the Connecticut Colony, itself a haven for Puritan landed gentlemen, and founded several towns in what is today the U.S. state of Connecticut. As we learn from The Alchemist of Connecticut, or the Christian Hermes by Peter Muise: “Born in England in 1606, John Winthrop Jr. traveled through Europe and Turkey meeting with alchemists and acquiring alchemical texts before emigrating to New England in 1631. As his personal symbol Winthrop used the monas hieroglyphica, a sigil representing cosmic unity developed by (ceremonial magician) John Dee, Queen Elizabeth’s famous astrologer (as he like Dee were both co-members of the Invisible College)… With backing of wealthy English alchemists he founded the town of Saybrook, Connecticut and later established New London (a port town in Connecticut at the mouth of the Thames River), which he hoped would be a Utopian alchemical haven… Winthrop practiced (Paracelsian) medicine… The Boston minister Cotton Mather (Mather was himself a Fellow of the Royal Society as well) dubbed Winthrop the ‘Christian Hermes’ for his charity and healing skills…” (For more information, see Prospero's America: John Winthrop, Jr., Alchemy, and the Creation of New England Culture, 1606 – 1676 by UConn history professor Walter W. Woodward). Of an additional added note, the first reported Jew in America, Joachim Ganz of Prague (a former employee of Sir Francis Walthingham whose associates included ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee), himself hailed from a family of Kabalists, alchemists and astrologers. Ganz, a mining expert/metallurgist by trade in the employ of Queen Elizabeth I’s Royal Mining Company, had been recruited by Sir Walter Raleigh to be part of the ill-fated Roanoke Colony founded on Roanoke Island in the Virginia territories off the coast of modern day North Carolina in 1585 A.D. [See Joachim Ganz of Prague: The First Jew in English America]. It was a common practice at this time as noted by occult historian Eric Maple in his book Witchcraft to recruit: “Treasureseeking magicians…employed in mining, where they sought hidden veins of ore…” and this by various magical means. Such would seem to have been the case with Mr. Joachim Ganz himself. Included in the Roanoke expedition was Oxford University grad/astronomer/astrologer Thomas Harriot [it was magically adept astronomers/astrologers such as Thomas Harriot who served as the navigators of ships which were during the age of sail commonly navigated by the stars with the aid of a magician’s astrolabe, a ‘mathematical magic’ device commonly used to navigate ships and 46

employed as well in the casting of horoscopes], a disciple of the Wizard Earl Sir Henry Percy [Percy himself was a fellow courtesan and friend of ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee]. America was from its very beginning a truly magical place founded through the efforts of an informal group of practitioners of magic loosely known as the Invisible College as well as by members of its own regally sanctioned offshoot, the Royal Society in England, institutions themselves wholly devoted to the study and practice of magic in all of its incarnations and into whose history we shall delve more completely. It is helpful to view the American Revolution itself as an extension of the Puritanical English Civil War waged against pro-Catholic English Royalists. The story of the angel Azazel has been faithfully passed down from generation to generation in many forms in virtually every country in nearly every period in ancient written history. One fact that everyone has danced around was the fact that the angel Azazel was alive and well and entrapped within the earth. In fact, most religious/magic rituals of the ancients constituted the cultus of the rebel angel Azazel. The arcane Canaanite funerary marzeah was a religious feast instituted by a funerary cult to commemorate the interment of Azazel and his angels who like the dead are entombed within the earth. This ritual is related to the Grecian practice of wailing for the ‘death’ of Adonis (in the Orphic hymn To Adonis, Adonis is said to be “much…wept for”), while the ‘death’ of the god Attis was mourned during the Phrygian Mysteries, as likewise the Egyptians also lamented the ‘death’ of Osiris (Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XIII B.D. Chapter XVIII speaks of Isis lamenting the death of Osiris. In regard to this legend, Freemasons, those perpetuators of the pagan Mysteries, refer to themselves as “sons of the widow,” Isis), all of which were the Greek equivalent of the Babylonian/Assyrian/Phoenician (Semitic) practice of weeping for Tammuz. All of these gods of the nations were various representations of the fallen angel Azazel. Accounting for ancient calendar conversions to ascertain its modern day equivalent, the ritual practice of weeping for Tammuz persisted for an entire lunar month encompassing 28 days commencing at the time of the summer solstice on June 21 and continuing until July 19, commemorating the day of the angel Azazel’s prophesied future release. The mourners themselves had fervently chanted: “He (Tammuz/Azazel) has gone, he has gone to the bosom (which is to say, to the interior) of the earth” 47

(See Myths of Babylon and Assyria McKenzie 1915 A.D.), this being recited in reference to Azazel’s imprisonment within the earth. Another such ancient liturgy devoted to the worship of Azazel likewise laments: “Tammuz (Azazel)…Aralu (the ‘underworld’ in which Azazel is entrapped) has seized him away…The flood has taken him away…the flood seized thee into Hades (beneath the earth).” - Tammuz and Ishtar p. 15 by S. Langdon, “Shillito Reader of Assyriology, Oxford,” 1914 A.D. An Elamitic liturgy likewise laments: “The flood has taken Tammuz (Azazel)” (Ibid p.117) in reference of course to the Biblical flood and his earthen entrapment at that time. The Babylonian “myth” as set forth in The Descent of Ishtar also speaks of Azazel’s imprisonment within the earth. Ishtar is the Babylonian name for the angel Azazel’s human wife. She is imprisoned with him: “…the house (a reference to Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth) which none leave who have entered it…the house wherein the entrants are bereft of light…where they see no light, residing in darkness…where over their door and bolt is spread dust…Ishtar has gone down to the nether world, she has not come up.” - The Descent of Ishtar Indeed, most black magic systems are based on Sumerian teachings regarding the rebellious fallen angels which is it would seem most ancient of all. The British occultist/practitioner of black magic Aleister Crowley alludes to this fact when he says of his system of Magick: “Our work is therefore historically authentic; the rediscovery of the Sumerian (magic) Tradition.” The Sumerian’s knew Azazel’s human wife as Inanna. Thus, in a similar Sumerian version of the story of Ishtar entitled Inanna’s Descent to the Underworld, we are told “Inanna…descended to the underworld.” In fact, the land of Sumer itself is named after the angel Azazel. In the Sumerian work entitled Ninurta's Exploits: A šir-sud to Ninurta, ETCSL translation: t.1.6.2, Azazel is the “Lord Saman-ana” mentioned therein. Compare to the name of the Celtic god Suman/Saman, a god who represented Azazel (from Saman comes the word ‘shaman.’ Compare also to the word Haman. From Vestiges of the Spirit History of Man p.314 [S.F. Dunlap, 1858 A.D.] we learn Haman was a name of the god Baal, who likewise represented Azazel). The land of Sumer is the land of Azazel from whence Azazel ruled (and yet still from his underground lair, 48

rules) the Earth! Compare also the word Sumer to the cognate word Muse. The land of Sumer (aka ‘Ta Neter,’ the Land of the Watchers) was the land of the Muses, a Grecian group of divine demonic beings also known as Roman guardian genii (the Islamic jinni). Azazel is also known as Samael: “Azazel is the head of all the bad demons of the Hebrews… Azazel is Moloch and Samael.” - p.299 Vestiges of the Spirit History of Man by S.F. Dunlap, 1858 A.D.

In the Babylonian work, Nergal and Ereshkigal, we find that the storm god Nergal, a representation of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, a symbol which is often used interchangeably to represent the angel Azazel, went “down” to a “dark house,” “to the house where those who enter cannot leave,” “to the house where those who enter are deprived of light, where dust is their food (compare to Genesis 3:14 where God tells the serpent, who symbolizes Azazel, “dust you shall eat.” Serpents are subterranean dwellers, hence the serpent analogy in regards to Azazel who resides in his subterranean abode), clay their bread,” “where they see no light” and “dwell in darkness” (compare also to the Quiche Mayan serpent god Votan’s subterranean “House of Darkness” wherein it was said dwelt the incarnate “guardians” [See p.149 America’s Assignment with Destiny by Manly P. Hall]). The “house” in this story represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth wherein Azazel resides and in which he is entrapped within the dark recesses of the earth (Ereshkigal, whose name translates as “great lady under earth,” is Azazel’s human wife who is entrapped along with Azazel within his cherub beneath the earth). This story is also echoed by The Epic of Gilgamesh, wherein is described a “house where none leave who have entered it…where dust is their fare and clay their food…they see no light, residing in darkness**…in the House of Dust…” The “House of Dust” (also therein called the “House of Darkness”) is none other than Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, imprisoned by God within the Earth (the name Gilgamesh, variably spelled Gilgamig, is but another name for Tammuz [See p.40 Tammuz and Ishtar]. This story is also recounted in The Magan Text (Magan = Egypt) of the infamous grimoire known as the Simon Necronomicon which similarly recounts the occurrence of the goddess Ishtar’s descent to “the House of No Return…where bowls of dust are the food,” figuratively speaking of their entombment within the earth. For this reason the fallen angels are also known as lares, which is to say, ‘house-spirits.’ (**Compare this use of the word darkness as a dwelling place to denote 49

an underground existence to the following exemplary verse: “Lo, I will command the earth, and it shall swallow up body and soul together, and their dwelling shall be in darkness…” The Biblical Antiquities Chapter 16)

The Aztec god Mictlantecuhtli, meaning, “lord of Mictlan,” or, lord of the underworld, was one such name under which the Aztecs worshipped Azazel/Behemoth and was so named in association with the Aztec people’s knowledge of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth. Mictlantecuhtli and his wife, Mictecacihuatl, were similarly said to dwell in a windowless house in Mictlan, Mictlan being the Aztec word for the underworld. The windowless house in the underworld within which this god and goddess resides is Azazel’s cherub Behemoth in which they are entrapped. The similarities between these beliefs are instantly recognizable though these cultures are separated by thousands of years and in some instances by as many miles as well— the reason being is they speak of the very same episode in the history of our Earth. Consider the following selection from the Essenic Dead Sea Scrolls from Qumran which also speaks of Azazel’s entrapment in his cherub within the earth. Resheph is a Semitic name for Azazel: “A Psalm of David…against Resheph (against Azazel)…You are darkness, not light, wickedness, not righteousness…in Hades most deep (within the earth), enclosed in doors of bronze (a reference to the doors of his metallic cherub)…” - 11Q11 Column 4 Lines 44,7,8,9 Resheph, who is Azazel, is the Rephan mentioned in Acts 7:4243, one of “the host (angels) of heaven” of which it was said the Israelite people unjustly worshipped instead of recognizing their true God as King, “the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts (the God of the angelic hosts)” (See Amos 5:26-27), for which impious indiscretion God sent the Jews into captivity into the land of Babylon (which territory incorporated the former Sumerian site of Azazel’s underworld entrapment) where resided their beloved god Rephan (Azazel) entrapped within the earth beneath the arid, windblown, Babylonian sands. Since His people wanted Azazel as their king (mlk/moloch/Molech) over them instead of God whom they rejected, God was determined to give him to them. Poetic justice indeed! This event was variously known as the Babylonian captivity and the Jewish diaspora. 50

In the Assyrian work, Lament of the Flutes for Tammuz, Tammuz being an Assyrian name for Azazel, we are told that “Tammuz (Azazel)…the consort of the queen of heaven (a title by which his human wife was honored)…to the nether world has taken his way.” Therein he is called “the exalted one of the nether world,” a reference to his earthly entrapment. The name of the Irish goddess, Brigid, a title the Irish bestowed upon Azazel’s human wife, likewise means “exalted one.” The female consort of a god was often named after the god to whom she belonged. Brigid was known to many Romans as Brittania. Britain (England, a former Roman colony) derives its name from her. The Roman Secular Games (in Latin, Ludi Saeculares, originally Ludi Terentini) were held in commemoration of Azazel’s and his human wife’s interment within the earth. The games were held in honor of the Greek god Dis Pater (representing Azazel) and the Greek goddess Proserpina (representing Azazel’s human wife) in commemoration of their entrapment within Azazel’s cherub within the earth. In conjunction with these games, a round altar (symbolic of a wheel/disk-shaped cherub) dedicated to the god and goddess, the “Altar of Dis Pater and Proserpina,” which lay interred in the ground at the site of the games was unearthed at the start of the games and subsequently reburied at the end of them, a ritual act symbolizing Azazel and his human wife’s entrapment and of their subsequent anticipated release. Related to this was the festival called the Consualia, or Consuales Ludi, so named after the Roman god Consus. The Roman god Consus, the god of councils, represented Azazel in his former position of Councilor in God’s own hierarchy (head of the TwentyFour Elders/Councilors), a position he held prior to his rebellion in heaven. The Roman temple dedicated to the god Consus was located underground. Consus’ altar was buried within the earth and unearthed during the Consualia festival held in his honor, an act commemorating Azazel’s imprisonment and later release from his subterranean prison (there was also a sacrifice to Consus held on the Julian calendar date of July 7. When adjusted to the Gregorian Calendar by adding 13 days, this date is closer to the Gregorian calendar date of July 19, which is the date of Azazel’s future release in the year 2016 A.D.). The consort of Consus/Azazel was variously called Ops/Opis/Opus, 51

and represented the human wife of the angel Azazel. A festival in her honor, called the Opiconsivia/Opalia, was held after the Consualia festival. She derives this name from the fact Azazel was also known as ‘Ophis.’ In Book III Chapter 18 of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s Of Occult Philosophy he mentions how “Pherecydes the Syrian describeth the fall of the Devils and that Ophis, that is the Devillish Serpent (Azazel), was the head of that rebellious Army” of angels who revolted against God. According to Plutarch (46-120 A.D.) in Isis and Osiris, the death of the Egyptian god Osiris (a god who represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth but who is also synonymous with the angel Azazel himself) was celebrated on Athyr 17 on the Egyptian Calendar, a date which corresponds to the Julian Calendar date of November 13 (the Julian Calendar was instituted by Julius Caesar in 46 A.D.). This date on the Gregorian calendar (introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 A.D.) became October 31st. It was taught in the mysteries concerning Osiris (who represents Behemoth/Azazel) that he was in fact drowned, a legend which alludes to events surrounding Azazel’s entombment within the earth at the time of the Flood in the days of Noah. The ‘death’ of Osiris was celebrated on Athyr 17 during the Festival of Inventio Osidiris (“As to the festivities, in which those mysteries were celebrated, we find that on the 17th of the month Athyr (the month Tammuz) the images of Osiris were enclosed in a coffin or ark: on the 18th was the search; and on the 19th was the finding.” – The Dionysian Artificers). Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XII B.D. Chap. XVIII speaks of: “Osiris (Behemoth/Azazel), lord of Re-stau, and of the great company of the gods (read: angels) who are in the netherworld beside Osiris (inside Azazel’s cherub Behemoth).” Re-stau represents the place of their under earth entrapment. Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XII B.D. Chap. XVIII likewise speaks of the “godlike rulers who are in Re-stau…the followers of Horus (Azazel).” Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XIV B.D. Chap. XVIII states the “great godlike rulers in Re-stau are Horus (who is Azazel), Osiris (who represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth), and Isis (Azazel’s human wife).” It must be mentioned that another spelling of the name of the god Ra is ‘Re.’ ‘Re’ is the prefix of the word ‘Re-stau.’ Re-stau, like the god Ra, represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth (also, compare the word ‘stau’ to the word ‘star,’ a common symbol of a cherub and its associated 52

angel. The angels were also know as sarim [a variant spelling of seirim], singular sar. When we consider its variant spelling Ra-Stau, we discover it to be an anagram of sar-tau, the sar whose sign is the [T] tau [compare to tsar]). Ra’s star/Re-stau represents Azazel’s cherub. Resh is also, as must be noted, the twentieth letter of many Semitic alphabets and corresponds to the Arabic letter pronounced rāʾ (from whence is derived the name Azrael). Azazel was also known as ‘Sheps,’ which is a cognate of ‘Sheol’ wherein he is entrapped. ReSheps thereby becomes ‘Resheph.’ As he is also the god ‘An,’ Resheph-An can be shortened to form the word ‘Rephan.’

“Magic… in it may be found the means to storm the kingdom of heaven by violence…” – The Tree of Life: A Study in Magic by Israel Regardie, 1932 A.D.

Chapter 3. Magic To truly understand the story of the rebellious fallen angel Azazel one must study the practice with which he is associated, namely, Magic. “I wish to explain to you whence the worship of idols began in this world… the beginning was in this wise. Certain angels (Azazel’s group of fallen angels), having left the course of their proper order, began to favor the vices of men, and in some measure to lend unworthy aid to their lust (See Genesis 6:4), in order that by these means they might indulge their own pleasures the more; and then, that they might not seem to be inclined of their own accord to unworthy services, taught men that demons (read: the fallen angels) could, by certain arts—that is, by magical invocations—be made to obey men.” - Pseudo-Clementine Book IV Chapter XXVI circa 4th Century A.D. (See also Eusebius of Caesarea’s Praeparatio Evangelica Book V. The Koran likewise states that the “devils’ taught men “sorceries” [See The Koran 2.102])

Zohar 3:208a likewise attributes Azazel (Aza’el) and his angels for the introduction of the knowledge of the secrets of the magic arts to mankind, as does The Book of Enoch Chapter VII which explains how the angels from heaven taught the human women with whom they had cohabited (See Genesis 6:1-4) “sorceries” and “incantations.” Astrology/Astronomy and the use of medicine/‘medical magic’ were also amongst the magical arts taught to humans by the fallen angels (See The Book of Enoch Chapter VIII). The apostle Paul as related in 1Corinthians 10:19-20 equated the worship of idols (idolatry) with the worship of demons (demonolatry) and Zohar 2:7a tells us the gods of the nations as spoken of in The Bible were no mere powerless idols but represented very real celestial beings that have influence over actual events on our Earth. The genesis of such pagan magic practices may be directly attributed to the demonic fallen angels. One example of a magical invocation (by definition a magic spell) which highlights the dependence of the purported success of magic spells on such demons/fallen angels is contained within the 54

Mithraic Great Magic Papyrus of Paris. After setting forth what elaborate arrangements one must make in preparation, we are told: “I have not found a greater spell than this in the world. Ask the god (the demon/angel) for what you want, and he will give it to you.” In condemnation of such pagan magical practices, the Christian Alexandrian scholar/theologian Origen in his refutation Contra Celsus, Book 6 Chapter XXXIX provides us with the following perjorative: “…those who employ the arts of magic and sorcery…invoke the barbarous names of demons.” According to Jewish legend, the teachings of the Kabala were revealed to mankind by these angels. Such angels are called shedim. Some shedim are invoked during Kabalistic magic ceremonies such as was most famously the golem of Rabbi Yehuda Loevy. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as benevolent shedim. Aleister Crowley, a practitioner of Magick (which he held to be: “…the true science of the Magi…”), invoked the shedu Azazel under the guise of Choronzon (a word which means ‘Chaos’), the Dweller in the Abyss (shedu is the singular form of the plural shedim and is derived from the Semitic word ‘sedu’ meaning ‘spirit’). In Arabian countries the jinn (in English, ‘genii’), who also represent Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels are likewise associated with magic. Arab magicians are called Muqarribun, their traditions predating Islam itself (one example of an Arabic magic book is The Picatrix of Planetary Talismanic Magic, a compilation of various Middle Eastern magic traditions, and the Sufis are the most famous group of Arabic practitioners of magic). Through their use of magic, the Muqarribun sought to control the jinn who they knew to be the rebellious angels of God in order to thereby exploit these beings and to use them to their advantage. Spells were employed in an effort to control the jinn, to enslave them and even sometimes as protection against them. Some even solicited their protection as guardian angels. The ancient Egyptians employed priestly magic-practicing magicians as well (See Exodus 7:11. Jannes and Jambres are the names of two Egyptian magicians who acted in opposition to Moses [See 2Timothy 3:8]), as did the Babylonians [See Daniel 2:10]). A number of Dead Sea scrolls authored by the group known as the Essenes as found at Qumran contained magic spells (some scholars, such as the French author Edouard Schuré [1841-1929 A.D.] who influenced the beliefs of the German founder of Anthroposophy Rudolph Steiner believed Jesus to be such an Essene, though I certainly disagree with his conclusion. A.E. Waite in The 55

Mysteries of Magic p.302 even goes as far as identifying Jesus himself as the founder of the Essenian sect. Most historians, however, agree that the founding of the Essenic community at Qumran predates even the birth of Jesus and Nesta Webster in Secret Societies and Subversive Movements p.20 lists this tactic as a common “device for discrediting Christianity” as employed by those who seek Christianity’s destruction). Even the three wise men, the kings of the east who visited Jesus at his birth, were Magi (See Matthew 2:1), they also being, as their name suggests, magicians. As The Zondervan Pictorial Dictionary informs us as to the origin of the word ‘magic’: “Originally the word meant the science or art of the Magi, the Persian priestly caste.” These Magi (singular ‘Magus’) constituted the priesthood of the Persian Zoroastrian religion. The Magi were Spiritualists: “…the Magi were a Persian religious caste… Origen affirms that they were in communication with evil spirits (See Contra Celsum I.60)…” - Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember, 1889 A.D. Ceremonial Magic has a long storied history: “Magic operations, like those of the Lemegeton (a 17th Century grimoire also known as The Lesser Key of Solomon**), which involve conjuring up a ‘spirit’ – an occult force personified as an angel or demon – have a long history and tradition. The basic pattern of the ceremonies is already found in the Graeco-Egyptian magical texts, which date from about A.D. 100 to 400, and is repeated in mediaeval and modern textbooks, though with many variations in detail. First the magician prepares all the necessary accessories – his sword, his wand, perfumes, talismans, the magic circle, pentagrams and hexagrams. When everything is ready, he summons the spirit to appear in a succession of powerful incantations. Finally he gives the spirit its orders and dismisses it.”*** – The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish, 1967 A.D. (** Concerning the history of The Lesser Key of Solomon, in his book Ceremonial Magic [1980 A.D.] p.57, Israel Regardie, who had once served as Aleister Crowley’s own personal secretary, writes: “Commissioned and paid for by Aleister Crowley while he was still a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, it [The Lesser Key of Solomon] had been translated [into English] from the Latin by S.L. Macgregor Mathers in the opening years of the twentieth century.”) (*** Pertinent Quote: “The Biblical King Solomon was believed in the ancient world to have been a great magician, able to command powerful genii and even demons and force them to do his bidding. Two of the most famous grimoires, or books on ceremonial magic, are called The Key of Solomon the King, and The Goetia, or Lesser Key of Solomon.” – Natural Magic by Doreen Valiente)

Even Spiritualism is magic pure and simple: 56

“In the final formulae of evocation, the mind must be concentrated fully on the purpose and presence most desired. Thus, if the object be to summon the attendance of beloved spirit friends, the ordinary methods of waiting, either alone or in a small harmonious gathering, now so popularly practiced amongst modern Spiritists in Europe and America, may be sufficient to ensure the desired results. The performance of very good and spiritually inspired music should always precede, or rather form the invocatory process in such circles, the effect of good music producing as great a difference in the atmosphere as on the feelings and sensations of the listeners.” - Art Magic As famed ceremonial magician Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa (1486 - 1535 A.D.) explains (note his synonymous use of the words ‘magic,’ ‘philosophy’ and ‘science’): “Magic is a faculty of wonderful virtue, full of most high mysteries, containing the most profound contemplation of most secret things… Magic comprehends, unites and actuates; deservedly, therefore, was it by the Ancients esteemed as the highest and most sacred Philosophy. It was, as we find, brought to light by most sage authors and most famous writers, amongst which principally Zamolxis and Zoroaster were so famous that many believed they were the inventors of this Science. Their track Abbaris the Hyperborean, Charmondas, Danigeron, Eudoxus, Hermippus followed. There were also other eminent, choice men, as Mercurius Tresmegistus, Porphyrius, Iamblicus, Plotinus (“Plotinus,” it was said, “knew his demon, and held familiar conversations with him.” See The History of Magic Volume I p.446; Ennemoser, 1856 A.D. This was no doubt true of all of these individuals, as channeling their magical Muses was the goal of all such philosophers. Indeed: “…shamanism is…at the heart of what we have come to call Greek philosophy…” – Prelude to Mushrooms, Myth and Mithras), Proclus, Dardanus, Orpheus the Thracian, Gog the Grecian, Germa the Babylonian, Apollonius of Tyana. Osthanes also wrote excellently of this Art, whose books being as it were lost, Democritus of Abdera recovered, and set them forth with his own Commentaries. Besides, Pythagoras, Empedocles, Democritus, Plato, and many other renowned Philosophers travelled far by sea to learn this Art; and being returned, published it with wonderful devoutness, esteeming of it as a great secret. Also it is well known that Pythagoras and Plato went to 57

the Prophets of Memphis (in Egypt) to learn it, and travelled through almost all Syria, Egypt, Judea, and the Schools of the Chaldeans that they might not be ignorant of the most sacred Memorials and Records of Magic, as also that they might be furnished with Divine things.” The Philosophy of Natural Magic Chapter II by Henry Cornelius Agrippa, ed. L. W. de Laurence, 1913 A.D. (“It was during the fifteenth century that Henry

Cornelius Agrippa flourished, an adept in physical science, scholarly attainments, as well as occult art, which made him the honored officer of Kings and Princes, the friend, adviser and Physician of Queens and Princesses, and the Paragon of Magicians, in all ages… this distinguished Knight and great Adept was a devout Roman Catholic, hence he employed those sacred names…which belonged to his Church.” - Art Magic. Agrippa was thusly by definition a Cabalist) According to the Italian Renaissance philosopher Count Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463 – 1494 A.D.) writing in what is considered to be the Renaissance Manifesto and a key document of Humanism, in a text entitled Oration on the Dignity of Man: “...magic has two forms. One consists wholly in the operations and powers of demons, and consequently this appears to me, as God is my witness, an execrable and monstrous thing. The other proves, when thoroughly investigated, to be nothing else but the highest realization of natural philosophy (also known as ‘natural magic’ and ‘natural science’ and which we know today as physics). The Greeks noted both these forms. However, because they considered the first form wholly undeserving the name magic they called it goeteia (black magic), reserving the term mageia (white magic, also known as High Magic), to the second, and understanding by it the highest and most perfect wisdom. The term “magus” in the Persian tongue, according to Porphyry, means the same as “interpreter” and “worshipper of the divine” in our language…The first (goeteia) is the most deceitful of arts; the second (mageia), a higher and holier philosophy. The former is vain and disappointing; the later, firm, solid and satisfying. The practitioner of the first always tries to conceal his addiction, because it always rebounds to shame and reproach, while the cultivation of the second, both in antiquity and at almost all periods, has been the source of the highest renown and glory in the field of learning. No philosopher of any worth, eager in pursuit of the good arts, was ever a student of the former (goeteia), but to learn the latter (mageia), 58

Pythagoras, Empedocles, Plato and Democritus crossed the seas.…That first form of magic (goeteia) cannot justify any claim to being either an art or a science while the latter (mageia), filled as it is with mysteries, embraces the most profound contemplation of the deepest secrets of things and finally the knowledge of the whole of nature (in other words, physics).” (“Renaissance humanism [14th -15th Centuries] saw a resurgeance in hermeticism and other Neo-Platonic varieties of ceremonial magic... Alongside the ceremonial magic followed by the better educated were the everyday activities of folk practitioners of magic across Europe, typified by the cunning folk found in Great Britain.” - themiddleages.net: History of Magic. Falling into the category of Renaissance Humanism are the writings and grimoires of German ceremonial magician Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa).

King James the First of England in his Daemonologie (1597 A.D) Book I Chapter III informs us: “There are principally two sorts (of magic), whereunto all the parties of that unhappy art are redacted; whereof the one is called Magie or Necromancy,** the other Sorcery or Witch-craft… they say, that the witches are servants only, and slaves of the Devil; but the Necromancers are his masters and commanders.” (**“Necromancy…is a form of magic involving communication with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition [by definition, Spiritualism] or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination…” – Wikipedia: Necromancy. It was said: “Jacob’s objection to being buried in Egypt was due to the fact that the Egyptians practiced witchcraft by means of dead bodies, and he would not have his body utilized for such abominable practices.” – Midrash Tanhuma). It must be noted England retained anti-witchcraft laws called Witchcraft Acts which forbade the practice of conjuring/invoking/evoking of angels/spirits/demons, prohibiting witchcraft and sorcery in all of its variations, upon its books in one form or another in the British Isles often mandating the death or imprisonment of the offender starting in the year 1542 A.D. up until the ultimate repeal of the Witchcraft Acts in 1951 A.D. This law’s repeal would usher in a major revival of the practice of witchcraft. As the British witch Doreen Valiente, writing circa 1978 A.D. explains: “The resurgence of the old religion of nature-worship and magic really 59

began in 1951, when the last of the antiquated Witchcraft Acts in Britain was finally repealed… it was largely through the influence of the Spiritualist movement, now widely accepted as respectable, that the final Act was swept away.” – p.13 Witchcraft for Tomorrow. The repeal of the Witchcraft Acts in Britain in the mid 20th Century A.D. led to a profusion of mass-produced published works of an entirely occult nature as previously underground practitioners of magic came out of the proverbial closet (indeed, as Charles G. Leland intimates in the Introduction to his Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling circa 1891 A.D.: “There is not a town in England or in Europe in which witchcraft is not extensively practiced, although this is done with a secrecy the success of which is of itself a miracle.” Its popularity has never waned). Books released after the the repeal of the Witchcraft Acts included the father of modern Wicca witchcraft Gerald B. Gardner’s High Magic’s Aid (1951 A.D.), Witchcraft Today (1954 A.D.) and The Meaning of Witchcraft (1959 A.D.). Concerning the practice of witchcraft and magic, Gardner himself explains: “The foundation of magical beliefs, of which witchcraft is a form, is that unseen Powers exist (‘powers’ is a Biblical word used to denote ‘angels’), and that by performing the right sort of ritual these Powers (angels) can be contacted and either forced or persuaded to assist one in some way.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D. Gardner’s books on the subject of magic as well as a plethora of others including one entitled The Morning of the Magicians as issued by two French alchemists named Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier (a member of the Lovecraft circle, Bergier was in addition a Jewish student of Kabala and is in fact a nuclear physicist as well as a chemical engineer, these fields being archaic alchemy’s wholly modern counterparts as Bergier very helpfully points out in his book) helped to fuel the New Age 1960’s counter-culture revolution in America and England. We will discuss this subject in another chapter in greater detail. Secret societies engaging in illicit ceremonial magic practices in England prior to the repeal of the Witchcraft Acts [sects including the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order as well as other adherents of Satanism, Thelemic/Theosophic Orders, and New Age movements (Theosophical Society-themes such as those espoused in the writings of Theosophical Society-member Alice Bailey in 60

particular are the fundamental philosophies of New Age teachings— New Age is simply a recent repackaging of the Old Religion of witchcraft and ceremonial magic [the term ‘New Age’ itself is employed in reference to the astrological ‘Progression of the Equinoxes’ which occurs every two thousand years. The advent of the 21st Century signaled the dawning of the new Age of Aquarius, or as Aleister Crowley prefers to call it, the Age of Horus which is to witness Horus’/Azazel’s release]. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was in fact the magic-practicing inner circle of the greater Theosophical Society itself)] base their teachings in part on the esoteric mysteries of the Graeco-Egyptian Hermetic Qabalah. The modern-day Hermetic Qabalah magic system has many influences including astrology, Egyptian magic, tarot, hermeticism, alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Jewish Kabalism, pagan mystery religions, Eastern Tantric sacramental sex-magic practices, NeoPlatonism and Gnosticism (Gnosticism, a religion whose roots can be traced to the Greek philosophers themselves: “…made the performance of every species of sin forbidden in the Old Testament [of The Bible] a solemn duty… This doctrine was wholly that of mediaeval witches, and is flaunted by modern Satanists.” Moreover, members of Gnostic sects: “…taught that divine honours must be paid to Satan, who is further to be propitiated by means of every possible outrage done to Christ. This, of course, is plain and simple Satanism openly avowed.” – p.22 The History of Witchcraft by Montague Summers). The high-degree Freemason Aleister Crowley was the Hermetic Qabalah’s most famous adherent, he employing a form of ‘black’ Hermetic Magic (classified as ‘goeteia’) in a system he called ‘Magick’ (which Crowley intentionally spelled with a ‘k’) in a religion known as ‘Thelema’ (Author’s Note: In formulating his new system of ‘Magick,’ Aleister Crowley rewrote the Old Religion’s white magic adage: “If it harms none, do what you will” replacing it with his own much more ominous: “Do what you will shall be the whole of the law” to reflect its more malevolent black magick basis. Indeed, in The PREFACE to the grimoire entitled The Arbatel of Magic as prefaced by Dr. Robert Turner, a 17th Century London-based translator of magic grimoires, we are told: “…the word Magus of itself imports a Contemplator of divine & heavenly Sciences; but under the name Magick, are all unlawful Arts comprehended; as Necromancy and Witchcraft, and such Arts which are effected by combination with the devil, and whereof he is a party.” Crowley spells ‘magick’ with a ‘k’ 61

in order to highlight the malevolent nature of Thelema). Magic is also practiced by Rosicrucians and Freemasons. Indeed, amongst the most infamous members to be counted amongst the ranks of the Rosicrucian and Freemasonic groups was in fact Aleister Crowley himself (pen name of mystic poet Edward Alexander Crowley, 1875-1947 A.D.), a fact certainly instructive in itself as to the underlying nature of these secret societies (“The [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn was an occult organization formulated out of some British high masonic lodges in the year 1878. Authorization for its institution in England seems to have come from the continent, from alleged descendants of mediaeval Rosicrucian groups. It was thus a secret Rosicrucian body.” – Roll Away the Stone authored by Aleister Crowley’s former secretary Israel Regardie, 1968 A.D.). Aleister Crowley’s writings are even cited as the inspiration which had compelled Anton Sandor LaVey to write his own Satanic Bible and to found the Church of Satan (in years prior Anton LaVey was known to have ordered a number of Aleister Crowley’s books from OTO-member Jack Parsons who was at one point Aleister Crowley’s pen pal/disciple). Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan was founded in 1966 A.D. during the aforementioned 1960s counterculture revolution in America and Britain largely spawned by the repeal of the British Witchcraft Acts and with it the general-public reintroduction of former Theosophical Society teachings. The High Priest of Satan Anton LaVey, the self-styled ‘Magus of the Age of Satan,’ derives his name from the word ‘Leviathan.’ ‘The Sigil of Baphomet,’ the official insignia of his Church of Satan, contains the Hebrew letters spelling ‘LVYTN’ at each point of the five points of the pentagram this sigil contains. LVYTN becomes LaVeY anToN, or, Anton LaVey (in the Aramaic Targum of Jonathan on Genesis 1:21 Leviathan is spelled ‘levyathan’ with a ‘y.’ ‘LVYTN’ is a shortening of the word ‘levyathan,’ or rather, ‘levyathan’ is a lengthening of the word ‘lvytn.’ The Hebrew language does not employ vowels. Leviathan it must be noted is the name of Satan’s cherub). According to Anton LaVey: “Satanic Ritual (as practiced in LaVey’s Church of Satan) is a blend of Gnostic,** Cabbalistic, Hermetic, and Masonic elements, incorporating nomenclature and vibratory words of power (magic spells and mantras) from virtually every mythos (read: gleaned from every ancient system of magic)… Masonic orders have contained 62

the most influential men in many governments (a fact most particularly true of governments in America and Britain), and virtually every occult (magic) order has many Masonic roots.” The Satanic Rituals p.21,78 by Anton LaVey, 1972 A.D. (** As Paul Huson informs us, the word: “‘Gnostic’ itself in its etymological derivation means much the same as ‘witch’ … It is the tattered remnants of the wisdom of the Watchers [the fallen angels], or gods, which constitutes the lore of the witch.” – Introduction to Mastering Witchcraft) (Pertinent Quote: “Magic, indeed, was always a kind of freemasonry, but the gypsies (or Bohemians, as they were called in the Middle Ages) did much to carry the beliefs and rites of magic from one far country to another.” – The Black Art p.158 by Rollo Ahmed, 1936 A.D.) The pen name of the French occultist Alphonse Louis Constant, which is Eliphas Levi, was also similarly derived, his last name being a shortening of the word ‘Leviathan.’ As Eliphas Levi explains: “The Science of Magism is contained in the books of the Kabalah, in the Symbols of Egypt and of India, in the books of Hermes Trismegistus, in the oracles of Zoroaster, and in the writings of some great men of the Middle Ages, like Dante, Paracelsus, Trithemus, William Postel (in 1552 A.D. William Postel provided a first-ever nonJewish Latin translation of the Sepher Yetzirah, one of the bedrock books of Kabala), Pomponaceus, Robert Fludd (b. 1576 - d.1637 A.D.; the English Rosicrucian philosopher: “The English leader of the Rosicrucians was Dr. Robert Fludd (a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in London), a deep student of the Cabala, Astrology, Alchemy, and Magic.” - The Arcane Schools Chapter 6 by John Yarker. Rosicrucianism had been introduced into England from Germany by the Oxford-educated philosopher Robert Fludd during the magical reign of Queen Elizabeth I [Robert Fludd himself was the son of Sir Thomas Fludd, Treasurer of War to Queen Elizabeth I]. Rosicrucianism itself was greatly influenced by the magic of Paracelsus, a physician by profession), etc. The works of Magic are divination or prescience, Thaumaturgy** or the use of exceptional powers, and Theurgy (by definition ceremonial magic, also known as the ‘Telestic Work’) or rule over visions and spirits.” - The Paradoxes of the Highest Science by Eliphas Levi, 1856 A.D. (** “The powers of the interior man, 63

and the possibility of communication with the unseen [with the “unseen world”], are the subject of historical magic, which is filled with thaumaturgic accounts of experiments with these forces, and of the results of this communication.” – Introduction to The Occult Sciences by A.E. Waite, 1891 A.D.) (Pertinant Quote: “Although the Cabala belongs to the past, it nevertheless demands our attention on account of the interest taken in it by men like Raymond Lully, the "Doctor Illuminatus" as he was styled (died 1315) [whom A.E. Waite has described as “an exponent of Rosicrucian doctrine on the side of Hermetic physics”]: John Picus di Mirandola (1463-1494); John Reuchlin (1455-1522) [a German Cabalist/ceremonial magician, Reuchlin, a friend of Martin Luther, is known as the ‘Father of the German Reformation.’ Agrippa was greatly influenced by Reuchlin]; Cornelius Henry Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535); John [Jan] Baptist von Helmont (1577-1644) [the founder of pneumatic chemistry, an offshoot of alchemy]; the English scholars Robert Fludd (1574-1637) and Henry More (16141687)... By Cabala we understand that system of religious philosophy, or more properly, of Jewish theosophy,** which played so important a part in the theological and exegetical literature of both Jews and Christians ever since the Middle Ages... By virtue of certain (magic) incantations, invocations of the names of God and the angels, and the recitation of certain prayer-like chants, combined with fasting and an ascetic mode of living, they pretended to be able to perform supernatural deeds. For this purpose they made use of amulets and cameos (Kameoth), and wrote upon them the names of God and the angels with certain (magic) signs.” – Forward to The Cabala pp.9,12 by Bernhard Pick, 1913 A.D.) (** Author and Fellow of the Theosophical Society William Kingsland in the Introduction to his book entitled The Esoteric Basis of Christianity [1895 A.D.] defines ‘theosophy’ as meaning “the wisdom of divine beings,” the divine beings being, of course, angels. Amongst the ‘wisdom’ passed down to man by the angels is the science of physics)

Masonry/Freemasonry is rooted in the “Science of Magism”: “The Occult Science of the Ancient Magi (the Magi were magicians who invoked the rebellious fallen angels, the angels Satan and Azazel included, thereby communicating with them) was concealed under the shadows of the Ancient Mysteries: it was imperfectly revealed or rather disfigured by the Gnostics: it is guessed at under the obscurities that cover the pretended crimes of the Templars (the Knights Templars); and it is found enveloped in enigmas that seem impenetrable, in the Rites of the Highest Masonry. Magism was the 64

Science of Abraham and Orpheus, of Confucius and Zoroaster. It was the dogmas of this Science that were engraven on the tables of stone by Hanoch (Enoch) and (Hermes) Trismegistus.** Moses purified and re-veiled them, for that is the meaning of the word reveal. He covered them with a new veil, when he made of the Holy Kabalah the exclusive heritage of the people of Israel, and the inviolable Secret of its priests.” - The Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike (** “One of the major mythical figures who unites classical paganism and medieval magic, or theurgy, with the Luciferian tradition is Hermes Trismegistus… [Warburg Institute philosopher] Dr. Frances Yates says: ‘A large literature in Greek developed under the name of Hermes Trismegistus concerned with astrology and the occult sciences, with the secret virtue of plants and stones and the sympathetic magic based on the knowledge of such virtues, and the making of talismans for drawing down the power of the stars, and so on’ (1969:2). This naturia magia or natural magick is exactly the same occult knowledge that the fallen angels imparted to early humans.” – p.163 The Pillars of Tubal Cain by Nigel Jackson. Indeed: “The sciences known as ‘occult,’” as Lewis Spence notes in his Introduction to An Encylopaedia of Occultism [1920 A.D.], “may with every reason be regarded as the culture-grounds of the science of to-day.” The greatest magicians in the history of the world are at work in modern-day laboratories in operation this day) In 1855 A.D. the renowned Rabbi Isaac Wise revealed: “Freemasonry is a Jewish establishment, whose history, grades, official appointments, passwords, and explanations are Jewish from beginning to end.” (Masonic Jewish magic practices in fact hearken back to the days of their Egyptian bondage where they were employed as builders/masons: “But the word of the king of Egypt prevailed against the children of Israel and they were humiliated and oppressed in the work of bricks.” - The Biblical Antiquities Chapter 9). Indeed, as 33° Freemason Albert Pike avows: “All truly dogmatic religions have issued from the (Jewish) Kabalah… everything scientific and grand in the religious dreams of all the illuminati, Jacob Boehme, Swedenborg, Saint-Martin, and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah; all the Masonic associations owe to it their secrets and their symbols.” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted 65

(This book by Pike is often referred to as the Freemasonic bible. One must remember, Jewish Kabalists do not believe Jesus was the son of God, nor do Masons hold him in esteem. Jesus is: “…the stone which the builders (read: the Masons/practioners of magic) rejected.” - Matthew 21:42. As Geoffrey Farthing elucidates in The Right Angle concerning the esoteric importance of the designation ‘Builders’: “Throughout the countries of the Orient, wherever magic and the wisdom-religion are studied, its practitioners and students are known among their craft as Builders.” This fact is particularly true of Masons/Freemasons who are notorious practitioners of magic, as well as the Jewish Kabalists upon whose teachings Freemasonry itself was crafted. It was the Builders who erected Masonic structures including pyramids and temples devoted to the gods) Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike

As the Freemasonic Father of Wicca and OTO Crowley-initiate Gerald B. Gardner explains: “I am familiar with most forms of (magic) ritual including Kabalistic magic, and they all have certain things in common and work by calling up a spirit or intelligence and commanding it to do their will.” - Witchcraft Today by Gerald B. Gardner, 1954 A.D.

He goes on to explain: “…Ritualistic Magic, Kabalistic Magic, Art Magic or Black Magic are alike attempting to evoke genii, demons or elemental spirits and forcing or bribing them to cause events to occur…” - Witchcraft Today by Gerald B. Gardner (Pertinent Quote: “The art of Magic is the art of employing invisible or socalled spiritual agencies to obtain certain visible results.” - Magic, White and Black by Franz Hartmann, 1886 A.D.) (“Direct communication with demons, whether by writing, clairvoyance, clairaudience, or in other ways is now becoming universally prevalent. It is sustained by what is called mediumistic power…” - Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember, 1889 A.D.)

While sharing a common origin, such magic systems are differentiated by spelling and vary according to theological systems: Hermetic [Graeco-Egyptian] Qabalah, Jewish Kabala and Christian Cabala. As we learn from a number of sources: “The Kabala was first taught by God himself to a select Company of Angels who formed a theosophic school in Paradise” (See The Secret Doctrine [Volume II p.284] by H. P. Blavatsky, The Kabbalah by Christian D. Ginsburg and The 66

Kabbalah Denudata of Christian Knorr von Rosenroth). Included in this group of angels were the angels Satan and Azazel. This knowledge was later revealed to man via the rebel angels when they descended to our Earth in the days of Jared (that 33° Freemason Albert Pike was familiar with The Book of Enoch is evident as he quotes from this book concerning the fallen angel’s descent to our Earth on p.31 of his Freemasonic/Kabala-themed book entitled The Book of the Words). What secrets are revealed by The Zohar, that major storehouse of Jewish Kabalistic knowledge? It teaches of the fallen angels of course, and how they came to our Earth, here to abide: “…Uzza (Semjaza) and Azael (Azazel), who rebelled above, were cast down by the Blessed Holy One (by God), and materialized on earth, abiding on it… Subsequently they strayed after earthly women… They engendered children, whom they called Mighty Giants…” - Zohar 1:58a (See also Zohar 1:37a and Genesis 6:4. Azazel is one of the angels invoked under a plethora of various names and titles by practitioners of magic. The guardian angel Azazel is invoked under the contracted name ‘Azael’ in the Greek Magical Papyrus from Egypt [PGM XXXVI.161-177] in a spell of protection against “every bad situation that comes upon” the invoker)

The Zohar also teaches that the fallen angel Azazel had impiously impregnated Adam’s wife Eve: “…the serpent (Azazel)** injected that slime (his semen) into Eve, she absorbed it, so when she copulated with Adam she bore two sons (Cain and Abel): one (Cain) from the impure side (from Azazel, Cain being born of the ‘seed’ of the ‘serpent’ [See Genesis 3:15]) and one (Abel) from the side of Adam, Cain resembling both the higher image (of the angel Azazel) and the lower (the human Eve; Cain was an angel/human hybrid)… Cain was certainly son of the impure spirit…deriving from…the side of the Angel (Azazel)…” - Zohar 1:54a (** “Originally the serpent was not a reptile, but a creature of humanoid aspect…associated with the serpent in symbol…the source of magic and mysticism…of the arts and sciences in general… The serpent…was the original master magician…” - Alien Initiations by Harald Kleeman, 2003 A.D. Indeed: “…it is an ominous fact, that, after the fall [of man], the first inventors of the arts and sciences were the descendants, not of the believing Seth [the son of Adam by Eve], but of the deist and murderer Cain [the son of Azazel by Eve]. So in our own days the leaders of science are too 67

often the leaders of infidelity, the despisers of God and of prayer.” Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember, 1889 A.D.) (Pertinent Quote: “A perennial theme runs through the mythological record from religious, occult and mystical texts to Victorian supernatural romance fiction and beyond. From the nineteenth century onward it gained renewed impetus as attempts were made outside esoteric orders to link the relevant myths with history. Their purport in essence is this: Humanity is not alone; nor is it the first intelligent species on the planet. It was preceded, and shares the planetary environment with, at least one nonhuman species which, like the human, has evolved several distinct racial types. This nonhuman race [descended from the “serpent’s seed” (See Genesis 3:14-15), the bloodline of Cain] is identified with the generic mythological serpent [the Genesis serpent, the fallen angel Azazel]… The human line, by way of distinction, and in keeping with Judaeo-Christian sources, is usually called the Adamic race [being descended from Adam through Adam’s sons Abel and Seth (See Genesis 4:25)]…the Adamic lineage of Abel and Seth remaining nomadic herdsmen, from which stock arose dreamers and prophets, while that of the Serpent [Azazel] of Cain and his descendants became artificers and builders of cities [Masons].” – p.77 Alien Initiations by Harald Kleeman, 2003 A.D.)

The Biblical King Nimrod was himself described as being a “great magician” “who took up with magical practices” and who performed the magic rituals as instituted by angels (See The Clementine Homilies Homily IX Chapter IV). According to The Zohar, in reference to the builders (magic-practicing Masons) of the Tower of Babel, the first and foremost being Nimrod: “Said Rabbi Abba: ‘They were the subjects of a horrible and demoniacal infatuation (demonic possession/Overshadowing) in that they impiously wished to abandon the worship of the Lord for that of Satan or the serpent (Azazel) to whom they rendered homage and glory.’” Freemasonry brags of an historical association with the Masonic magician Nimrod. As per The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, the Freemasonic York MS. No. 1 says “At ye making of ye toure (tower) of Babel there was a Masonrie first much esteemed of, and the King of Babilon it called Nimrod was a Mason himself and loved well Masons.” The Masons first identified themselves as such in reference to their building of the Tower of Babel, it being a tower constructed of masonry bricks. Harleian, Sloane, Landsdowne and Edinburgh-Kilwinning Masonic manuscripts, for instance, state as fact that Masons were employed in the building of the Tower of Babel. The Ancient Craft Freemasonic calendar of the York and French rites begins in 4000 B.C., the year the Tower of Babel was completed and in the same year destroyed, at the time when the people’s languages were confused and their population dispersed (See Genesis 11:1-9), as the result of Nimrod’s rebellion against God (4000 B.C. = 1 A:L in the Ancient Craft Masonic calendar of the York and French rites. In 68

Homily IX of The Clementine Homilies Chapter V Clement states that: “Therefore the magician Nebrod [the Greeks and Egyptians knew Nimrod as Nebrod. In the Greek Septuagint version of The Bible, ‘Nimrod’ is rendered ‘Nebrod’], being destroyed by this lightning falling on earth from heaven [during the destruction of the Tower of Babel], for this circumstance had his name changed to Zoroaster…” It is from the magician Nimrod, also known as Zoroaster, that the Zoroastrian Magi, well known priestly practitioners of magic, are descended). Freemasonry itself renders homage to Satan and Azazel. Of an interesting note, the Tower of Babel was constructed upon the 33rd Degree Parallel as Freemasonry is composed of 33 Degrees. As we learn from the adept magus Nigel Jackson: “According to esoteric doctrine, Nephilic blood flowed in the veins of Nimrod (which would make Nimrod an angel/human hybrid): ‘And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the Earth; He was a mighty hunter before the Lord…and the beginning of his kingdom was Babel.’ The Masonic Cooke Mss dating from the 1430 CE accords Nimrod the status of the first Grand Master of the Masons. He allegedly delivered the original charges and constitutions to the Craft brethren whom he oversaw during the building of the Tower of Babel… Babylon is Bab-Illani or the Gate of the Gods (Illu = Elohim) (Elohim = angels)…The researches of Clement Stratton have confirmed that in the first degree of medieval operative Masonry the pledge by the candidate was called the Oath of Nimrod.” – p.44 The Pillars of Tubal Cain by Nigel Jackson

As part of the teachings of the 25° of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry known as the Knight of the Brazen Serpent, Freemasonic author Albert Pike informs us: “This Degree is…devoted to an explanation of the symbols of Masonry; and especially to those which are connected with that ancient and universal legend (read: the legend concerning Azazel), of which that of Khir-Om Abi (a variant spelling of Hiram Abiff) is but a variation; that legend which, representing a murder or a death, and a restoration to life, by a drama in which figure Osiris, Isis and Horus, Atys (Attis) and Cybele, Adonis and Venus, the Cabiri, Dionusos (Dionysus), and many another (these are all gods and goddesses of 69

various ethnic groups who represented the angel Azazel and his human wife)…” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike

Freemasonry, by Pike’s own admission, passes on the secret teachings concerning the Genesis serpent Azazel and his human wife through the Masonic legend concerning Hiram Abiff gathered from ancient magic-based mystery religions! No doubt in reference to the origin of the name Hiram Abiff, Pike explains: “(Samuel Fales/S.F.) Dunlap ([in Vestiges of the] Spirit History of Man, 94)(first published in 1858 A.D.), in a table of the male and female Deities of different Nations, gives Huram (a variant spelling of Hiram)…(as being the equivalence of the Greek god) Hermes, Death-God (think: Destroyer),” - p.55 The Book of Words by Albert Pike. The name Hiram is derived from the name of the Egyptian god Hermes. (Some members of Freemasonry such as Albert Pike are tasked in comparative religious studies, being well versed in Kabala). Even high-degree Freemason and prominent Theosophical Society author C.W. Leadbeater chimes in on this subject: “Bro. (Freemasonic Brother J.S.M.) Ward refers in his remarkable work Who was Hiram Abiff? (by J.S.M. Ward, p. 191) in which he adduces a vast amount of evidence to show that our traditional (Freemasonic) history is based upon the myth of the death and resurrection of Tammuz…” - Glimpses of Masonic History by C. W. Leadbeater. Tammuz was yet another name on a long list of ancient gods who represented the angel Azazel (Concerning the Freemasonic author J.S.M. Ward: “The [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn is not the only influence upon [English occultist and founding father of Wicca magic Gerald B.] Gardner; Freemasonry has had a tremendous impact upon the Wicca. Not only were the three founders of Isis Urania Temple Masons, so too were [Aleister] Crowley and [A.E.] Waite [it was Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member A.E. Waite’s The Book of Black Magic and Pacts which is cited as Crowley’s inspiration to join the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn into which order he was initiated by S.L. MacGregor Mathers]; Gardner and at least one member of the first [witches] coven (Daffo) [cult name of Edith Woodford-Grimes] were both Co Masons. [Gerald B.] Gardner was also a friend of J.S.M. Ward [a former high official of a powerful British industrial lobbying group; J.S.M. Ward it must be noted ‘was a close friend’ of Gerald B. Gardner (See p.56 The Rebirth of Witchcraft)], who had published a number of books about masonry [including Freemasonry and the Ancient Gods (1921 A.D.) in which Ward traces the ritualistic roots of Freemasonry to the ancient pagan religious systems of Palestine and the Middle East].” - webspace.webring.com. The word ‘Hermetic’ [as in Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] is derived from the name of the Greek god Hermes, from whence is derived the name of the Freemasonic ‘Hiram’ who is likewise representative of the angel Azazel. Freemasonry is and always has been based on ancient ceremonial magic rituals involving the invocation of fallen angels. The Mason/magician Nimrod likewise ritually invoked the angel Azazel, even going as far as erecting a tower [the infamous Tower of Babel] over the very location of Azazel’s entrapment! For additional detailed information, see Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles. As regards Isis 70

[Azazel’s human wife] the Greek Magical Papyrus [PDM xiv.554-62] invokes her as: “Isis, the Magician, the Lady of Magic, who Bewitches everything, who is Never Bewitched in her Name of Isis, the Magician.”)

One of the most famous 33° Freemasonic ceremonial magicians was an Englishman named Aleister Crowley who is known as the father of Thelema (‘Thelema,’ a Greek word meaning ‘Will’/‘True Will’) and who was a prominent member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (As Crowley-initiate Kenneth Grant in The Magickal Revival reveals: “The [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn was the Inner Mystery School of the Order that formulated itself in the outer world as the Theosophical Society. Blavatsky’s intention in initiating her society was the destruction of Christianity…” Typically, as we shall learn, an Illuminati/Carbonari principle). One of the objectives in Thelemic mysticism is to achieve union (samadhi, the state of Illumination) with the All (the Assyrian Neoplatonist philosopher/ceremonial magician Iamblichus calls this a ‘Theurgic Union,’ Regardie as a “transcendental union with the Daimon”), the successful Thelemic execution of which involves an amalgamation of Crowley Magick, Yoga, tarot, astrology and Qabalahism as well as employing a smattering of various other mystical disciplines (to borrow a quote from Eliphas Levi, it drew upon the: “…sum-total of all [magical knowledge] that has gone before…”) such as to be found in Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sufism (in Japan, demons are called Yokai, while in China, the demonic fallen angels are known as Yaoguai, both words meaning ‘demon.’ From these words for ‘demon’ are derived the words Yoga and Yogi). To those who think Yoga is a harmless exercise, in Aleister Crowley’s Book 4 (also known as Liber IV. A ‘liber’ is a magical book purportedly dictated by a spirit, ‘automatic writing’ by definition), Crowley writes: “The work of the Body of Light—with the technique of Yoga—is the foundation of Magick.” As Crowley explicates in Eight Lectures on Yoga, “Yoga means Union,” (or in the words of Iamblicus, a ‘Theurgic Union’) and represents “the union of self-consciousness (the microcosm) with the universe (the macrocosm).” Union with the All (the All is also known as Godhead; a perpetual power source) was essential to ones attainment of such a Body of Light. If one possessed such a Body of Light, one was possessed of an eternal life—but that is a subject for another book (to explore this concept, see The Knowledge of Wisdom by John of the Gentiles). Interest in Thelema and the attendant sex-magic, tantric sex 71

and sexual yoga, all variations of the Hiero Gamos Ritual, has its origin with the appearance of the angels and also reappears later in ancient Babylonia where sex was incorporated in post-diluvian religious practices (commonly known as ‘sex-magic’) based on the esoteric knowledge and exotic practices of the angels who rebelled against God: “This was the feature of her (the angel Azazel’s human wife, the goddess Ishtar’s) cult which made the greatest impression upon Herodotus. In Book I, Chapter 199 of his history he describes that shameful law of the Babylonians which sent every Babylonian woman once in her life to the temple, the goddess of love, to sacrifice her honour (to offer sexual favors) for gold… The temple in Babylon dedicated to her (Azazel’s human wife) was probably Ekidurinim, which was situated near the city wall” wherupon “women who there assembled to be chosen by strangers for indiscriminate adultery,” for ‘hiero gamos,’ also known as ‘hierogamy’ (See pp.73-74 Tammuz and Ishtar by S. Langdon, 1914 A.D.). Likewise the 1st - 2nd Century A.D. Roman poet: “Juvenal tells us that every temple in Rome was practically a licensed brothel.” - Sex Worship by Clifford Howard, 1898 A.D. And again: “The practice of having sacred female prostitutes attached to temples in Greece, Rome, Egypt and India is so well known as to require no comment.” - The Black Art p.161 by Rollo Ahmed, 1936 A.D.). Indeed: “Sex is regarded by many witches as an act of worship.” – Witchcraft by Eric Maple. Sex-magic formed the basis of the Eleusinian Mysteries: “The Eleusinian Philosophers…were philosophers of Sex; and the Eleusinian Mysteries were mysteries thereof…” – Seership by Paschal Beverly Randolph. This it would seem has long been par for the magical course, such sex-magic rituals representing various adaptations of a more common theme—the sexual union of the immortal angel Azazel with his mortal human wife at the time of Azazel’s arrival here upon our Earth, and commonly known as the ‘hiero gamos ritual.’ The ‘hiero gamos ritual’ is the Great Rite of Wicca. In Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic ritual called The Gnostic Mass (See Liber XV), The Ceremony of the Rending of the Veil involves a Virgin (representing Azazel’s virginal human wife) and a priest (who represents Azazel) who “With his Lance…parts the veil” of the virgin, which is to say, he ceremoniously during these religious proceedings breaks the hymen of the virgin with his penis (at the finale of copulation one was then to ‘drink’ the Elixir of Life [the sperm] from the ritually consecrated ‘chalice’ [from the vagina of the virgin. See Sex, Drugs and Magick by Robert Anton Wilson]—this obscene act represents the greatest secret 72

of all occult sex-magic rituals). What all of these magic systems have in common though, whether in origin Syrian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Arabian or any other such empirical version, is the practical invocation of spirits/angels, a practice which was strictly prohibited by God (as an example, note the very profane work, “The Kabalistic Prayer” in Eliphas Levi’s The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum—the Sanctum Regnum by definition represents the magical knowledge of the Zoroastrian Magi). These are fallen angel-inspired corrupted systems involving all things God explicitly hates which serves to complete one’s detachment from God as opposed to one’s regenerating reunion with Him as with the All, as is the professed aim of Crowley’s Magick. Let thee not be fooled. One of the main tenets of advertising is ‘Sex Sells’ and Azazel and Satan are the most masterful of salesmen. Indeed, as noted by Hans Holzer in his book Witchcraft p.545: “To mock Christ was only a mild form of their faith; to commit all the sins the Christian Church stands against, and do this as often as possible, is a good deed in the eyes of the devil worshipper. Every form of sexual intercourse and perversion is encouraged, every physical excess, every form of materialist greed. It is simply a reversal of accepted (Christian) morality.” Many systems of magic are paradoxically enough based upon Christian themes, their adherents invoking God and His band of obedient angels which aim was to establish the conjurer’s control over the rebellious fallen angels, an act in fact of total futility as these angels would not even obey the direct commands of the All-Powerful God who created them. To use one example of such a Cabalistic magic invocation, the so-called black magic grimoire entitled the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum states: “In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father and the son and the Holy Ghost, holy trinity and unseparable unity. I call upon thee…that thou give me grace and divine power over all the wicked spirits (read: fallen angels)…so as which of them soever I do call by name, they may come…and accomplish my will…” (Excerpted from a magic invocation circa the 16th century created by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s pupil Johann Weyer, a physician in the court of William of Jülich-Cleves-Berge, a son-in-law to Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I. See Weyer’s On the Illusions of the Demons and on Spells and Poisons, 1563 A.D.). The Grimoire of Armadel [Sloane 2731, British Museum] is also a good 73

example of a Christian-based system of magic, by definition Cabalism). Likewise the black magic work Verus Jesuit Libellus (The True Petition of the Jesuits) states: “So come o ye angelic ones…and do all that I have requested in the name of the three-fold Jehovah, whose praises all spirits sing ceaselessly giving honor to the all powerful who is your Lord as he is mine. Amen.” Even 33° Freemason Arthur Edward Waite invokes Lucifer (Satan) on p.244 of his book entitled The Book Of Black Magic and of Pacts with the following Christian-themed magic ritual: “First Conjuration Addressed to Emperor Lucifer. Emperor Lucifer, Master and Prince of Rebellious Spirits, I adjure thee to leave thine abode, in what-ever quarter of the world it may be situated and come hither to communicate with me. I command and I conjure thee in the Name of the Mighty Living God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, to appear…” One may drown in such a profusion of naivety. If they serve you, they serve you at their whim. The Rosicrucian adept Robert Fludd provides the following caveat for such theurgic Cabalistic magical-practices which in fact fall within the category of ‘necromancy’:** “Necromantic Magic is divided into goëtic, maleficient, and Theurgic. The first consists in diabolical commerce with unclean spirits, in rites of criminal curiosity, in illicit songs and invocations, and in the evocation of the souls of the dead. The second is the adjuration of the devils by the Virtue of Divine Names. The third pretends to be governed by good angels and the Divine Will, but its wonders are most frequently performed by evil spirits, who assume the names of God and of the angels.” (** “…Necromancy…is akin to Spiritualism….” – p.242 The Tree of Life: A Study in Magic by Israel Regardie. Spiritualism is Necromancy pure and simple) In the Preface to the grimoire entitled The Magus (circa. 1801 A.D.) by Francis Barrett, one of Barrett’s professed aims by which with his writings he had hoped to attain was: “…to free the name of Magic from any scandalous imputation; seeing it is a word originally significative not of any evil, but of every good and laudable science, such as a man might profit by, and become both wise and happy; and the practice so far from being offensive to God or man, that the very root or ground of all magic takes its rise from the Holy Scriptures, viz.—‘The fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom’ (See Psalms 111:10 and Proverbs 9:10);—and charity is the end: which fear of God is the beginning of Magic; for Magic is wisdom, and on this account 74

the wise men were called Magi. The magicians were the first Christians (or rather, I would say, they were the first magic-practicing Cabalists to invoke the name of Jesus as a means for controlling spirits/angels—Acts 19:13-19 provides an example of such a practice as attempted by prominent Jewish Kabalists of the period and is as well a testament to the futility of such endeavors); for, by their high and excellent knowledge, they knew that that Saviour which was promised, was now born man—that Christ was our Redeemer, Advocate, and Mediator; they were the first to acknowledge his glory and majesty; therefore let no one be offended at the venerable and sacred title of Magician—a title which every wise man merits while he pursues that path which Christ himself trod, viz. humility, charity, mercy, fasting, praying, &c.; for the true magician is the truest Christian, and nearest disciple of our blessed Lord.” Holy Hocus Pocus Batman! The title of one magic manuscript succinctly sums up the goal of every magic system. The Grand Grimoire is subtitled “The Art of Controlling Celestial, Aerial, Terrestrial, and Infernal Spirits” (read: fallen angels). The Grand Grimoire (also known as ‘The Red Dragon’) is a black magic (goetic) grimoire which also explains how “God struck down the rebel angels…into the…abyss.” This was of course in reference to Azazel and his detachment of rebellious fallen angels whom God had entrapped within the earth with whom many an imprudent magician sought to communicate, command and control. The story of Azazel’s and his angel’s entrapment inside their cherubim within the Earth is the basis for the legend concerning the demons said to have been confined by the Biblically famous King Solomon in a magic bronze vessel as related in the 17 th Century grimoire called The Lesser Key of Solomon. This tale also has parallels to the entrapped genie in the magic lamp of the Arabian Nights stories, as the genie therein represents an angel whilst the lamp is analogous of an angel’s cherub. The evil ifrit (‘ifrit’ means ‘rebellious;’ the evil ifrit of the book representing the rebellious angels) are called the “seed of Iblis” (Iblis=Satan) in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, also known as Arabian Nights. Arab magicians, through the use of magic, believe they can control the spirits/rebellious angels (jinn) and exploit them to their advantage, by obliging them to serve their master. Be careful how you use those three wishes you are granted! 75

In Arabian countries the jinn, who represent rebellious fallen angels, are associated with magic. Spells are employed in an effort to control them and to enslave them or as protection against them, and some even solicit the angels’ protection from others as well. In fact, the magical use of talismans and amulets goes hand in hand alongside Muhammadism itself (as is also true of Catholicism which employs ‘medals’ of the Patron Saints which are likewise worn for protection— such a practice should rightfully be placed within the Cabala category: “…Catholics place great faith in their medals and medallions inscribed with the images of saints and martyrs…little different from the faith placed in ancient charms and talismans...” – The Black Art p.265. This practice merely represents the Christianization of a wholly pagan practice). The noted Freemason Manly P. Hall (initiated into Jewel Lodge No. 374, San Francisco, CA), in his Lectures on Ancient Philosophy reveals that: “From the Arabians C. R. C. (the purported founder of the Rosicrucians, Christian Rosenkrantz) also learned of the elemental peoples and how, with their aid, it was possible to gain admission to the ethereal world where dwelt the genii (jinn) and nature spirits. He thus discovered that the magical creatures of the Arabian Nights Entertainment actually existed…He was further instructed concerning…the rituals of magic and invocation…and the binding of the genii.” What he learned in truth [and upon which premise Rosicrucianism is based] was of the jinn entrapped within the desert, of Azazel and of his angels! This knowledge it is said he brought with him back to Germany, and armed therewith he established the Rosicrucian Society which was dedicated to the practice of magic, circa 1400 A.D. Or so the story goes (in all actuality, Rosicrucianism was an outgrowth of the 16th Century Cabalism craze in Europe [See pp.67-73 Secret Societies and Subversive Movements]). This group’s publication of the Fama Fraternitatis in 1611 A.D. and the Confessio Fraternitatis in 1616 A.D. broadcast these beliefs to the world. Indeed, according to Chapter IV of the Confessio Fraternitatis, Rosicrucians, as do all practitioners of magic under whatever name they choose to be known, appeal for help from angels and spirits for the revelation of God’s mysteries. It must be noted the 16th Century German Protestant Reformer Martin Luther (b.1483 – d.1546 A.D.) was a perported Rosicrucian, with Luther’s personal seal incorporating the Rosicrucian (Rose-Cross) talisman (Pertinent Quote: “Traditionally, the Rosicrucians were Christians of the Reformation— mystics, alchemists, occultists, but always Christians.” – The Eye in the 76

Triangle by Israel Regardie).

Interestingly enough, it was the knowledge of the existence of these jinn (also spelled Djinn) and the Malay magic practices by which they were invoked which launched Gerald B. Gardner onto his own magical quest, resulting in the establishment of Wicca as a religion (See Gerald Gardner, Witch p.94). Walt Disney (a 33° Freemason) was a member of The Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC), a Rosicrucian order which traditionally traces its origin to the ancient Egyptian mystery schools which revered the rebellious fallen angels as gods (the Rosicrucian-esque Walt Disney© company presents a children’s version of the story of the jinn of the Arabian Nights Entertainment in their full length animated classic, Aladdin©). As evidenced in the extent of the influence of magic on most of his animated classics, we find Mr. Walt Disney was quite overly obsessed with the Occult. It must also be noted that the man who originally founded AMORC in 1915 A.D., Dr. H. Spencer Lewis (the name ‘Lewis’ means ‘son of a Mason’), was himself in contact with Aleister Crowley and the Ordo Templi Orientis (See Larson’s Book of Cults, Larson 1984 p.306), with AMORC even receiving a ‘ringing endorsement’ from the O.T.O. of which it is rumoured H. Spencer Lewis was also a member. AMORC counts many Freemason’s amongst its membership. Indeed, according to the U.S. Grand Lodge, Ordo Templi Orientis website (www.oto-usa.org): “Although officially founded at the beginning of the 20th century e.v. (e.v. = Era vulgaris, the Common Era, C.E., an anti-Christian version of the Christian A.D.), O.T.O. represents a surfacing and confluence of the divergent streams of esoteric wisdom and knowledge which were originally divided and driven underground by political and religious intolerance during the dark ages. It draws from the traditions of the Freemasonic, Rosicrucian and Illuminist movements of the 18th and 19th centuries, the crusading Knights Templars of the middle ages and early Christian Gnosticism and the Pagan Mystery Schools.” Practitioners of magic and invokers of fallen angels, all. Some Masons trace their lineage to the Knights Templar group. The magic-practicing group known as the OTO is the innermost circle of Freemasonry (the Ordo Templi Orientis [in English, the Order of Oriental Templars which practiced secret Sufi sex-magick rites in the archaic Knights Templar tradition for which offense the leader of the Templars, Jacques de Molay, along with many of his followers would meet their deaths at the hands of the 77

Catholic Inquisition], is also known as the Academia Masonica [which in English translates as the Masonic Academy], founded in the finest Platonic school of magic/pagan mystery school tradition). The following selection from Egyptian Book of the Dead Plates V and VI B.D. Chapter I speaks of the Egyptian belief that it was possible to gain entrance into the underworld where dwelt Azazel: “Osiris (Behemoth) the chief of Amenta, the lord of eternity…chief of the company of his gods (angels); and…Anubis (yet another title for Azazel) [dweller] in the tomb (Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, wherein he was entrapped within the earth, was considered to be his tomb. For this reason, Azazel’s human wife who is also entrapped therein, is known as the ‘lady of the tomb’ in various magic orders), great god, chief of the holy dwelling (the ‘Great House,’ aka Behemoth). May they grant that I may go into and come out from the underworld…that I may go forth into the presence of [Osiris] (Azazel)…” The Egyptians taught falsely (and handsomely profited thereby) that the living might enter and leave the underworld at will, wherein dwelt their gods. They even wrote books concerning this subject: “The beginning of the chapters…of coming forth from and going into the underworld.” - The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate V Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XII B.D. Chap. XVIII states: “Grant…that I may enter into and come forth from the netherworld,” the “netherworld” wherein is entrapped Azazel and his rebellious angels. The ancient esoteric knowledge concerning the rebellious fallen angels formed the fundamental principles underlying all modern magic systems. The grimoire known as The Greater Key of Solomon speaks of “assemblies” of “Evil and rebellious Spirits (read: angels) dwelling in the Abysses of Darkness” whom its practitioners sought to “conjure” (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VII. Translated from manuscripts he found in the British Museum, this manuscript was translated into English by S. L. MacGregor Mathers, a 19th Century ceremonial magician who was head of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Hermetic Order of the Golden 78

Dawn, founded in 1887 A.D., was an offshoot of the English Rosicrucian Society [the SRIA] and consisted largely of leading Freemasons). This work influenced many goetic magic orders including that of Mathers’ himself and of those magic orders founded by Aleister Crowley and Eliphas Levi. This manuscript identifies the rebellious fallen angel Azazel as being “ye who by your own sin have been cast down from the Empyreal Heaven, and from before His (God’s) Throne; by Him (God) who hath cast ye (Azazel) down unto the most profound of the Abysses of Hell (read: Hades, beneath the earth).” - The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VI Another manuscript which greatly influenced many magic orders such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage (again, this is a manuscript translated into English by Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member S. L. MacGregor Mathers from manuscripts housed in the British Museum). As stated in the Introduction to his translation of this book, Mathers states: “The invocation of Angelic Forces…is an idea common in works of Magic, as also are the Ceremonies of Pact with and submission to Evil Spirits” and that the “magnum opus” propounded in the aforementioned work is “to obtain the knowledge of and conversation with one’s Guardian Angel, so that thereby and thereafter we may obtain the right of using the Evil Spirits for our servants in all material matters…” (According to The Book of Enoch Chapter XV, when an angel/human hybrid giant dies, an “evil spirit” goes forth from its body: “…the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall be called upon earth evil spirits… Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh…” and these may have a corrupting influence upon their human hosts). The book states that through “conversation with your Guardian Angel,” with whom one employing the magic ritual transcribed therein would come into direct communication, that one may receive from him “distinct and ample information regarding the Evil Spirits and the manner of bringing them into submission,” but in order to achieve this goal “thou wilt have to pass under the influence of thy Holy Guardian Angel” (compare to Aleister Crowley who writes in Chapter 83 of the paradoxically entitled Magick Without Tears [1945 A.D.]: “It should never be forgotten for a single moment that the central and essential work of the Magician is the attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel [which involved in itself according to Crowley, 79

a sex-magic ritual]. Once he has achieved this he must of course be left entirely in the hands of that angel,” which is to say, he will then essentially be Overshadowed, becoming a mere marionette of the puppet-master angel whose actions are ordered thereby (Pertinenet Quote: “Angels may solicit, or demons may tempt, but none can compel the spirit within to action, unless it first surrenders the will to the investing power.” — ("Art Magic," page 335).” - Difference between Elementals & Elementaries [1889 A.D.]). For this reason God commanded the death of all such practitioners of magic. Indeed, the workmen deserve their wages, and the wages of sin is death [See Romans 6:23]. The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage describes the processes and rituals involved in obtaining as ‘Abraham the Jew’ therein describes such a “conversation with your Guardian Angel,” which is to say, how he may be contacted. This concept as found in this grimoire originated in the teachings of the ancient Egyptian black magic magicians/priests). Mathers goes on to explain: “Except in the professed Black Magic (‘goetic’) Grimoires, the necessity of the invocation of the Divine and Angelic Forces to control the Demons is invariably insisted upon in the operations of invocation described and taught in Mediaeval Magical Manuscripts and published works.” Indeed, according to Book I of The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, the success of such magic operations of evocation are dependent upon the will of: “…God, by the intermediation of His Holy Angels, and with all Spirits, both good and evil.” ‘Abraham the Jew,’ the author of this grimoire, was of the opinion that many magic systems were based on pacts with devils and demons and were in fact false and vain, these systems being based upon deception for the express purpose of destroying their practitioners. Again, vainly enough, he thought his own system of magic to be different. He couldn’t have been more wrong (remember, The Bible states the only mediator between God and man is Jesus Christ [See 1Timothy 2:5]. Kabbalists, however, predominantly Jewish by nature, would not be expected to believe in Jesus). His system was also based on such demonic/Satanic deception. Kabalism was practiced by the Biblical Pharisees. As we learn from Biblical Archaeological Revue (BAR) editor Hershel Shanks: “All forms of modern Judaism are heirs of Rabbinic Judaism, which emerged in the centuries after the destruction of the Temple (in Jerusalem) in 70 A.D… much of post-destruction Rabbinic halakhah 80

(as found in Rabbinic Judaism) can already be found in pre-destruction Pharisaic Judaism” (See pp.176, 177 The Mystery and Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls, 1998 A.D.) from whence halakhah (a cognate of the word ‘Kabalah’) was derived and it was it must be noted this very same Pharisaic Judaic religious system which Jesus so opposed and which had been ultimately responsible for his death (that there were amongst the Jews practitioners of magic in Judah and Jerusalem circa the 7th century B.C. is made evident in 2Kings 23:24 which speaks of “wizards” (male witches) and their mediums, those who worked (as with a magical working) with “familiar spirits.” Within Judaism itself magic was the realm of the Pharisee: “For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection (nor life after death, nor reincarnation), neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.” - Acts 23:8. This core belief precluded the Sadducees entirely from magic practices involving the invocation of angels as well as from Spiritist and Spiritualist practices. Reincarnation is in fact a basic belief in Witchcraft: “One of the chief tenets of the Craft—and indeed many other pagan religions— is a firm belief in reincarnation.” – p.13 Lid Off the Cauldron by Patricia Crowther). Indeed, as the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia (1943 A.D.) explains: “The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees.” And throughout this period, Rabbinic Judaism has retained and has built upon aspects of earlier Pharisaic magic practices which explains why Jesus was so vehemently opposed to the Pharisees, and they against him, and why the Pharisees ruthlessly persecuted early Christians until which time the tables had been turned and the balance of power shifted when Jews were later persecuted by Christians. Shanks himself goes on to say (Ibid p.179) that: “…after the destruction of the (Jewish) Temple (in Jerusalem) in 70 A.D…only two forms of Judaism survive the cataclysm. One, Christianity, eventually dominates Western civilization after separating itself from its forbears. The other, Rabbinic Judaism, is the ancestor of all branches of modern Judaism.” The teachings of The Zohar as well as Kabala itself fall under the category of Rabbinic Judaism as descended from the traditions of the Pharisees. Hassidic Jews in particular embrace Kabala wholeheartedly, and Kabala is known as “Jewish witchcraft” (compare the word ‘Kabalah’ to the Egyptian ‘Ba of the Ka of Ptah’—Moses it is said was versed in all the ‘mysteries’ of the Egyptians, Egyptian magic included). As Montague Summers, who himself provided the first English-language translation of the 15th century witch hunter’s 81

manual entitled the Malleus Maleficarum, points out in The History of Witchcraft and Demonology p.195: “…in the Mishna (the first major work of Rabbinic Judaism), there are undoubted traces of magic, and in the Gemara (the Gemara is the section of the Talmud comprising the rabbinical analysis of and commentary upon the Mishna; the Gemara and the Mishna together make up the Talmud) demonology and sorcery loom very largely (Pertinent Quote: “The importance of the Talmud…rests entirely on the great and immutable truths of the sacred Kabbalah.” – The Mysteries of Magic). Throughout the Middle Ages Jewish legend (such as to be found in the Haggada) played no insignificant part in the history of Witchcraft, and, especially in Spain (under the Spanish Inquisition [Spain being, notably enough, home to the highly influential Medieval Kabalist scholar Moses de Leon]), until the nineteenth century at least, there were prosecutions, not so much for the observance of Hebrew ceremonies as is often suggested and supposed, but for the practice of the dark and hideous traditions of Hebrew magic.” That sex-magic was practiced amongst the Jews is evidenced by God’s condemnation of this practice as related in Leviticus 20:6: “The soul that shall go aside after magicians…and shall commit fornication with them, I will…destroy.” As is explained in The History of Witchcraft and Demonology p.269: “Modern Spiritism is merely Witchcraft revived…” and as Summers also therein warns “…Spiritism opens the door to demoniac possession…” (Ibid p. 253). The popularity of magic-practices such as Spiritism/Spiritualism amongst the Jews in the time of Jesus in this respect would seem to explain the existence of demoniacs and the numerous instances of spirit possession so prevalent amongst Jews in Jesus’ own day as related in the New Testament of The Bible and this being due to prevailing Pharisaic magic practices (See Matthew 8:2832, Matthew 9:32-33, Matthew 12:2, Matthew 17:14-18, Mark 1:2327, Mark 1:32-34, Mark 3:11-12, Mark 5:1-13, Mark 7:25, Mark 9:1429, Luke 4:33-35, Luke 8:26-33, Luke 9:37-43, Luke 10:17-20, Luke 4:40-41, Acts 16:16-18, Acts 19:11-16 and Tobias 6:14). In Chapter I of Friar Bacon his Discovery of the Miracles art, of Nature, and Magick (1659 A.D.) the illustrious Francis Bacon speaks of such: “…men despising the Rules of Philosophy, irrationally call up wicked Spirits, supposing them of Energy to satisfie their desires. In which there is a very vast error, because such persons 82

imagine they have some authority over Spirits, and that Spirits may be compelled by humane authority, which is altogether impossible, since humane Energy or Authority is inferior by much to that of Spirits. Besides, they (who conjure spirits) admit a more vast mistake, supposing such natural instruments, as they use (such as magic wands cut from certain trees by the light of a full moon), to be able either to call up (invoke), or drive away (banish) any wicked Spirit.** And they continue their mistake in endeavouring by (magic) Invocations, Deprecations or Sacrifices (both animal and human) to please Spirits, making them propitious to their design. Without all question, the way is incomparably more easier to obtain any thing, that is truly good for men, of God, or good Angels, than of wicked Spirits (fallen angels).” (That the word ‘spirit’ may be used synonymously with that of the word ‘angel’ is evident in Hebrews 1:7. Concerning the deceptive nature of Spiritualist practices, as the 3rd Century A.D. Neoplatonic philosopher “…[the Roman philosopher] Porphyry says, as quoted by Augustine (De Civ. Dei x, 11): ‘There is a class of demons [the fallen angels] of crafty nature, pretending that they are gods and the souls [spirits] of the dead.’” - Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas. Even ceremonial magician Rollo Ahmed was of the opinion that elementals/demons/evil spirits “frequently manifest themselves” during Spiritualist séances while “masquerading as departed human beings” [See p.246 The Black Art]. Such was the case as well in the episode related in 1Samuel 28:1-19. That humans are incapable of communicating after death is evidenced in Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) (** Pertinent Quote from an Eminent Occultist: “It would be foolish to believe, as evidently some medieval magicians did, that the angelic host can be summoned to appear in triangles or circles of Art at human whim.” – p.253 The Pillars of Tubal Cain by Nigel Jackson) Europe itself is steeped in magic tradition: “…cunning folk in Britain were professional or semi-professional practitioners of magic active from at least the fifteenth up until the early twentieth century. As cunning folk, they practiced folk magic - also known as ‘low magic’ - although often combined this with elements of ‘high’ or ceremonial magic (“The word ‘ceremonial’ includes rituals for initiation, for the invocation of Gods so-called and the evocation of elemental and planetary spirits.” – The Art and Meaning of Magic by Israel Regardie)…One of the most common services that the cunning folk provided was in combating the effects of malevolent witchcraft and the 83

curses which these witches had allegedly placed upon people…One of the best known means by which the cunning-folk opposed witchcraft was through the use of witch bottles; ceramic bottles containing such items as urine, nails, hair and nail clippings which it was believed, when put together, would cause harm to the malevolent witch.” – Wikipedia: Cunning folk in Britain. (Note this ‘good magic vs. bad magic’ [good/white magician vs. bad/black magician] theme [this theme even crops up in Hollywood Westerns and Mad Magazine’s Spy vs. Spy where the badman traditionally dons a black hat while the good guy wears a white hat]. Some practioners of magic even practice what they call ‘gray’ magic, combining elements of both black magick [goetia] and white magic [mageia], and there are some who even add Red Magic to the list. Indeed, as Christine Hole notes in Witchcraft in England: “Few witches were so steeped in malice that they never did anything good, and most used black and white magic impartially, as the occasion demanded.” She goes on to explain: “The true white witch did not meddle with black magic, and only very occasionally used his power for malicious purposes. He was primarily a healer, a witch-doctor in both senses, since he cured disease in men and animals and defeated the evil magic of other witches.”)

Witch-bottles have been found on both sides of the Atlantic, particularly in colonial America, peopled of course, by Europeans, most notably those of British descent. Cunning folk often provided their services for a price. Germany and France also had their versions of the cunning folk (one of the most famous examples of European ‘cunning-folk’ is the group known as the Gypsies which group Charles Leland notes in the Intro. to his book Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling: “…have done more than any race or class on the face of the earth to disseminate among the multitude a belief in fortune-telling, magical or sympathetic cures, and such small sorceries which can be found in Folk-lore.”). Anyways, it is said Aleister Crowley was an initiate of an English cunning man named George Pickingill (1816 1909 A.D.), the witch of Canewdon, in Essex, England. The ‘Master Witch’ George Pickingill exerted a major influence on the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) as well as on the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Golden Dawn members Aleister Crowley (Crowley joined the Golden Dawn in 1898 A.D.) and Allan Bennett were initiates of George Pickingill, and Crowley and Bennett once lived together in London where they were engaged in the study of magic (See pp.15-16 Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente, 1978 A.D. As Aleister Crowley has noted in The Psychology of Hashish: “In 1898-1899…honoured by the presence of Allan Bennett… Together for many months we studied and practiced ceremonial magic.” As occultist Francis King elucidates: “At Crowley’s invitation Bennett moved into the former’s Chancery Lane apartment and there the two began to go on astral journeys together, to invoke 84

spirits, including the goetic demons, and to experiment with substances that would ‘loosen the gilders of the soul’; that is to say, they took hallucinogenic drugs…Bennett had been interested in plantsubstances (including, apparently, hashish) alleged to produce clairvoyance.” – pp.114-5 The Rebirth of Magic). (Pertinent Quote: “George Pickingill…openly campaigned for the overthrow of the Christian religion and the [political] establishment generally…So fierce was ‘Old George’’s dislike of Christianity that he would even collaborate with avowed Satanists.” - Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente, 1978 A.D.).

Aleister Crowley, like S. L. MacGregor Mathers, was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. In his book Liber Samekh (derived from a Graeco-Egyptian magical text reprinted in Budge’s book Egyptian Magic; British ceremonial magicians such as Aleister Crowley typically performed magic rituals found during archaeological discoveries, often simply substituting their own names therein [See p.266 The Tree of Life by Israel Regardie], and/or performed their own variations thereof [See pp.34-35 The Art and Meaning of Magic by Israel Regardie]), which has as its stated goal “the Attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel during the Semester of His performance of the Operation of the Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage,” Aleister Crowley invokes the angel Azazel under the ancient Egyptian names/titles of Azazel, namely Ptah, Apopphrasz, Khonsu, Abrasax, and Iao (in Magic in Theory and Practice Crowley identifies this ‘Holy Guardian Angel’ as the Greek god Bacchus): “…the study of comparative religion has made it clear…the mystics of all ages and religions…were talking of the same things…” – Liber 888: The Gospel According to St. Bernard Shaw). The invocation states: “Hear me, and make all Spirits subject unto Me; so that every Spirit (read: every fallen angel) of the Firmament and of the Ether: upon the Earth and under the Earth, on dry land and in the water; of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire, and every Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me” invoking “all Spirits (read: every fallen angel)…upon the Earth and under the Earth: on dry Land and in the Water” (according to Richard Cavendish in The Black Arts p.140: “The performance of the ritual is accompanied by masturbation,” this being by definition an OTO IX° magic ritual involving the solo sexual rite of masturbation). According to the Gnostic Creed as cited in the Gnostic Mass, the central ritual of the OTO written by Crowley in 1913 A.D., the Lion-Serpent is known as Baphomet. It was Baphomet 85

(Azazel) who was championed by the original Knights Templar group. The OTO, the Order of Oriental Templars, derives its name therefrom. As Crowley himself ominously relates, there exist angels of which there is no need to invoke. When you are ready, they will come to you. The magic-practicing groups known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Rosicrucians and the German Vril Society were entities closely associated with Madam Blavatsky’s powerful and well organized Theosophical Society. The Theosophical Society was ‘formally’ established in America in New York City (in the heart of the Freemasonic establishment in America) in 1875 A.D. Theosophy is a religious philosophy based on ancient esoteric religious teachings and associated magic practices, tasked in comparative religious/comparative mythologic studies. The Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, ceremonial magician S. L. MacGregor Mathers, was himself a Theosophical Society member. The word ‘theosophy’ is synonymous with the word ‘magic’: “Theosophy was the name finally given to the whole vast renaissance in the world of magic (which involves the invocation of the rebellious fallen angels) that affected many thinkers so profoundly at the beginning of the (20th) century.” – The Dawn of Magic (aka The Morning of the Magicians) by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier,1960 A.D. (Concerning this theosophical magical renaissance, G.H. Pember writes: “…to-day, we see the men of this nineteenth century returning to the wisdom of long past ages, and modern thought sustaining its flight upon the wings of ancient lore. Nay, almost every characteristic of antiquity seems to be reappearing. Open intercourse with demons is being renewed on a vast scale in the very heart of Christendom… numerous circles are carrying on magical practices, attempts are being made to restore the influence of those ancient Mysteries which are said to have been always kept up by a few initiates… practices of primal and mediaeval times, are once more becoming common… They come no longer veiled in mystery, nor claiming to be miraculous or Divine but, in accordance with the spirit of the age, present themselves as the fruit of science, as an evidence of the progress of knowledge in regard to the laws of the visible and invisible worlds.” - Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember, 1889 A.D.)

Magic is an all-important part of The Great Work wrought by the greater Theosophical Movement. The Theosophical Society espoused magic: “We have also to consider another class of entities which are frequently employed in magic; and this time we are dealing with real 86

and evolving beings…There are vast hosts of these beings, and an almost infinite number of types and classes and tribes among them. Broadly speaking, we may divide them into two great classes (a) nature-spirits or fairies, and (b) angels or, as they are called in the East, devas. This second class begins at a level corresponding to the human (the incarnate angel), but reaches up to heights far beyond any that humanity has as yet touched, so that its connection with magic is naturally of the slightest kind, and belongs solely to one special type of it, of which we shall speak presently. The nature-spirits have been called by many different names at different periods and in (the folklore of) various countries. We read of them as fairies, elves, pixies, kobolds, sylphs, gnomes, salamanders, undines, brownies, or “good people” and traditions of their occasional appearance exist in every country under heaven. They have usually been supposed to be merely the creations of popular superstition, and it is no doubt, true that much has been said of them which will not bear scientific investigation. Nevertheless it is true that such an evolution** does exist, and that its members occasionally, though rarely, manifest themselves to human vision. Normally they have no connection whatever with humanity, and the majority of them rather shun than court the presence of man, since his ill-regulated emotions, passions, and desires are to them a source of much disturbance and acute discomfort; yet now and then exceptional circumstances have brought some of them into direct contact and even friendship with man…Naturally they possess powers and methods of their own, and sometimes they can be either induced or compelled to put these powers at the service of the student of occultism. Although they are not as yet individualized, and in that respect correspond rather to the animal kingdom than to humanity, yet their intelligence is in many cases equal to that of man. They seem, however, to have usually but little sense of responsibility, and the will is generally somewhat less developed with them than it is with the average man. They can therefore readily be dominated by the exercise of mesmeric powers, and can then be employed in many ways to carry out the will of the magician. There are many purposes for which they may be utilized, and so long as the tasks prescribed to them are within their power they will be faithfully and surely executed…All this will no doubt seem strange and new to many minds, but any student of the occult will confirm what I have said here as to the existence of these beings and the possibility that they can be used in various ways by one who understands them…The 87

forces to which I have referred are those most commonly employed in ordinary types of magic…We may usefully divide the subject of magic into two great parts, according to the methods which it employs; and we may characterize these respectively as methods of evocation and of invocation – of command and of entreaty. Let us consider the former first. Although it may act through many different channels, the one great force at the back of all magic of this first type is the human will...By this magnetic (mesmeric) control may be gained over any of the classes of nature-spirits…Indeed it is scarcely possible to fix the limits of the power of the human will when properly directed; it is so much more far-reaching than the ordinary man ever supposes, that the results gained by its means appear to him astounding and supernatural…We find abundant traces of this magic of command in the ceremonies connected with almost every religion in the world…” - Some Glimpses of Occultism Chapter VIII by Theosophical Society member C.W. Leadbeater, 1919 A.D.; This book treats extensively on the subject of magic (** The Theory of Evolution is itself rooted in the practice of Spiritism/Spiritualism: “For spiritists of the Kardec school, as for all others who embrace the idea [including Theosophists such as C.W. Leadbeater], reincarnation is closely linked to a 'progressivist' [as in, as noted, the ‘progressive transmigration’ of souls/spirits according to the so-called ‘law of progress’], or if preferred, an 'evolutionist' conception of things. Originally the word 'progress' was simply used, but today 'evolution' is preferred… As for the word 'evolution'…it must be acknowledged that what it designates is really in harmony with the various spiritist theories…” – Rene Guenon. Evolution in essence is another name for reincarnation: “Reincarnation means evolution, the evolution of the spirit of man through many successive lifetimes on earth.” – p.38 Those Curious New Cults. Sometimes referred to as Eternal Progress, reincarnation is a principle held by Spiritists and Spiritualists of every creed and stripe including Theosophists, Rosicrucians, Wiccans, Kabbalists, Buddhists, Hindus, Transcendentalists, Unitarians, Scientologists, Druse, Druids, etc. and is a purely ‘magic’ based belief proffered by fallen angels. The religion of Spiritism/Spiritualism of the modern Spiritualism Movement is itself amongst the doctrines of devils the appearance of which was prophesied in 1Timothy 4:1: “…in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” The Druids were Spiritualists who believed in reincarnation: “…ye Druids…If what ye sing be true, the shades (spirits) of men…still rules these bodies in another age—Life on this hand and that, and death between… In this their false belief; for them no fear of that (death) which frights all others: they with hands and hearts undaunted rush upon the foe and scorn to spare the life that shall return.” – Pharsalia by the Roman poet Lucan, 1st Century A.D. Belief in reincarnation can be traced to Greek philosophers in whose belief systems spirits play a prominent role: “The Platonic philosophy, and perhaps still more the Pythagorean, contributed largely to the development of the doctrine of demons. ‘The Divinity,’ says F.A. Ukert, in his treatise Ueber Damonen, Heroen, und Genien, ‘according to these philosophers, is a soul diffused throughout the universe: human souls are portions of it: they pass from one body to another.’” – p.160 The Fallen Angels and the Heroes of Mythology by Rev. John Fleming, 1879 A.D. Indeed, as noted in the influential Spiritualist book, Art Magic: “In all lands but those dominated by Christianity, Spiritism has not only prevailed, but it still exists; has been, and is openly taught as an art, engrafted on the services of religion and cultured as a science.” Reincarnation, the spirit’s progression through many lives, is now generally referred to by the pseudo-scientific 88

name, metempsychosis. This concept stands in marked contrast to Biblical teachings such as that to be found in Hebrews 9:27: “…it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Not all Spiritualists believe in reincarnation, however. Exemplary of this fact is renowned Spiritualist medium D.D. Home who, while poking fun at those who do, had himself had at once famously quipped: “I meet many who are reincarnationists, and I have had the pleasure of meeting at least twelve who were Marie Antoinette, six or seven Mary Queen of Scots, a whole host of Louis and other kings, about twenty Alexander the Greats, but it remains for me yet to meet a plain John Smith, and I beg of you, if you meet one, to cage him as a curiosity.” - The History of Spiritualism Vol II by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1926 A.D. As you can see, Home was not without a sense of humor)

The following explanation is from Theosophical Society president Annie Besant: “Magic...is truly, as its name implies, the great science (compare to Francis Barret who calls magic a “good and laudable science”)...The difference between White and Black Magic lies in the motive...when that Will is set to benefit others, to help and bless all who come within its scope, then is the man a White Magician, and the results which he brings about by the exercise of his trained Will are beneficial, and aid the course of human evolution... But when the Will is exercised for the advantage of the lower self, when it is employed for personal ends and aims, then is the man a Black Magician, a danger to the race, and his results obstruct and delay human evolution...” - Study in Consciousness: A CONTRIBUTION TO THE SCIENCE OF PSYCHOLOGY by Annie Besant (“Hail! Angels of

healing, come to our aid. Pour forth your mighty power upon this suffering one.” – Excerpted from Healing Invocation written by Theosophical Society author Geoffrey Hodson [1928 A.D.])

Though magic practices were embraced by the learned members of the Theosophical Society (such as Judge and Leadbeater), it was not, professedly, a practice meant for the masses. William Q. Judge, one of the original founders of the Theosophical Society, in his magazine The Path: Considerations On Magic (1887 A.D.) cautions his followers: “Occultism and magic are not child’s-play, as many may learn to their sorrow…Let all who have joined the Theosophical Society remember this, and search their hearts before taking the first step in any magical formulary.” As Leadbeater explains: “The highest system of evolution connected with this earth, so far as we know, is that of the Beings whom Hindus call the Devas (synonymous/cognate with our word ‘devil,’ plural ‘devils’), and have elsewhere (most specifically, in The 89

Bible) been spoken of as Angels, Sons of God, etc...Their attention can be attracted by certain magical evocations, but only Adepts** (the word Adept is synonymous with the word Magus) of the First Ray have power to command their obedience.” - Some Fundamental Teachings by C W Leadbeater (** “…the adept…commands spirits, and the medium…is commanded by them…” – Art Magic. Franz Hartmann in Magic, White and Black similarly notes that these “‘Mediums’ through which such unseen powers act” will so often become “their unwilling slaves.” This is commonly known as spirit possession) (As we learn from Tooke’s Pantheon of the Heathen Gods and Illustrious Heroes [1823 A.D.], the Roman god Jupiter [who represented the angel Azazel], was called by the title “Vejovis, or Vejupiter, and Vedius”: “The Romans accounted him a fatal and noxious deity; and therefore they worshipped him only that he might not hurt them.” A cognate of the word ‘Vedius’ is the Sanskrit word ‘Vedas,’ which are named in Azazel’s honor. The Vedas are a large body of Hindu religious texts made up of four main canonical Samhita known as the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda [its teachings are incorporated into the system known as Vedantic Buddhism]. The Atharvaveda is a compilation of magic spells, incantations, mantras, charms and hymns (“The Vedic hymns are nearly all invocations…” - Art Magic). The Hindu word for ‘black magic’ is Jadoo. Dhamis are female witch doctors [Shamans], Sadhus their male counterparts. Jadoo is akin to Voodoo [an African tribal form of folk-magic], New Orleans Voodoo [Voodoo as introduced by displaced African slaves], Haitian Vodou folkmagic [also as practiced by displaced African slaves], as well as Hoodoo, a form of AfricanAmerican traditional folk magic. Buddhism is indeed a Spiritualist-based magic religion: “In China, Tibet, India and amongst the Northern Asiatic nations, Spiritism has never died out, and continues in force… Few nations of the East exhibit a greater amount of devotion to magic than the Chinese… Buddhism, the ruling faith…has inseparably blended its religious belief with faith in spiritism… The Chinese sacred books abound with directions for the invocation of spirits, and the use of talismans, spells, amulets, fumigations, and other means of inducing trance, and spiritual vision.” - Art Magic)

The Vril Society (also known as The Luminous Lodge and the Society for Truth [Wahrheitsgesellschaft]) was a Hermetic Order employing magic practices founded in Berlin, Germany, by a group of Berlin Rosicrucians being based on British author Edward BulwerLytton’s novel The Coming Race (1871 A.D.) about an evolutionarily advanced group of men said to be residing within the Earth and of who it is said will later emerge to rule over the world. Said to once inhabit the Earth’s outer surface, the group was forced to retreat underground many thousands of years ago by a natural catastrophe similar in nature to that of the Biblical Flood. This group was said to be trained in the application of the vril force, which can be used to control the physical world, including the minds and bodies of others. If this story sounds familiar it should, The Coming Race of course being based upon Bulwer-Lytton’s esoteric knowledge concerning Azazel and his group of fallen angels who are currently entrapped within the earth, including the influence they exert upon mankind as well as their later prophecied release. Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a Grand Patron (1871-73 A.D.) of the 90

Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA), a magic-practicing group which accepted only Master Masons as members, wrote on many themes including the occult. Indeed, The Coming Race was, as we learn from the words of Bulwer-Lytton himself, predicated on: “The superstitious belief, common to miners, that gnomes or fiends dwell within the bowels of the earth,” the gnomes and fiends representing, of course, Azazel and his group of fallen angels long entrapped therein. Edward Bulwer-Lytton was a well-educated member of the British House of Lords, a minister of the state. As Alan Baker explains in Invisible Eagle: The History of Nazi Occultism: “It is an assumption of many occultists that The Coming Race is fact disguised as fiction: that Bulwer-Lytton based his engaging novel on a genuine body of esoteric knowledge. He was greatly interested in the Rosicrucians, the powerful occult society…which claimed to possess ancient wisdom…Some writers, including Alec Maclellan, author of the fascinating book The Lost World of Agharti (1996 A.D.), have suggested that The Coming Race revealed too much of the subterranean world (wherein Azazel is entrapped), and was as a result suppressed in the years following Bulwer-Lytton’s death in 1873. Indeed, he describes the book as ‘one of the hardest to find of all books of mysticism,’ and informs us of his own search for a copy, which for some years met with no success.” Bulwer-Lytton was a friend of Eliphas Levi, the French occult writer and ceremonial magician. In fact “In 1853 he [Eliphas Levi] traveled to London and met Lord Bulwer Lytton, whom he assisted in various magical evocations and theories.” - Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology: Éliphas Lévi. Eliphas Levi was also an associate of the President of the London Lodge (established 1883 A.D.) of the Theosophical Society in England, Anna Kingsford. Driven therefrom by A.P. Sinnett, Kingsford was given leadership of a Hermetic Lodge which was “attended by, amongst others, Lady Wilde and her sons Oscar (Wilde, the Irish poet and author) and William” (See Biography of Anna Kingsford by Alan Pert, 2004 A.D.). Kingsford later left this lodge and formed the Hermetic Society (Hermetic Societies/Hermetic Orders are based on the writings of Hermes Trismegistus known as the Corpus Hermeticum, a god who represented none other than the fallen angel Azazel). Kingsford’s Hermetic Society (circa 1885-1887 A.D.) was known for giving lectures on occult subject matters, featuring as lecturers the likes of occultist S. L. MacGregor Mathers and 91

ceremonial magician/physician Dr. William Wynn Westcott. Wescott, a practicing Cabalist (Wescott had translated the Kabalistic Book of Formation [aka Sepher Yetzirah] and the Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster into English), in addition to being a Master Mason, was Supreme Magus of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA; the Rosicrucian Society of England [Wescott was also a member of the Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society. See p.30 The Alchemist of the Golden Dawn by Ellie Howe]). Mathers [Mathers was the first to provide an English language translation of the entire Jewish Kabalistic work known as The Zohar], likewise a Master Mason, himself gained admittance to the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (to which only Master Masons are admitted), eventually being appointed Junior Substitute Magus. William Wynn Wescott, along with S.L. MacGregor Mathers, would later found the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the most celebrated member of which was the English Freemasonic ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley. The Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia was itself modeled after Rosicrucian societies in Germany, such as the infamous Vril Society. The Vril Society in Germany, founded in Berlin, as must again be noted, by a group of German Rosicrucians, would later become the inner circle of the Thule Society (the Thule Society, a literary club in outward appearance, was founded in 1918 A.D. by the German Rosicrucian Freemason Baron Rudolf von Sebettendorf, a man versed in Sufi mysticism (the Sufi holy book, with which he would have been familiar, entitled The Tawasin of Mansur Al-Hallaj presents the story of the angel Azazel’s refusal to prostrate himself before Adam as God had so commanded, an act preceding a full-blown military rebellion. Sufi magicians invoke the angel Azazel). The Theosophic-beliefed Vril Society (by definition a Hermetic Order/Hermetic Society) was the first German nationalist group to use the symbol of the swastika (a Hindu equilateral cross) as an emblem/magic talisman (in India, the swastika represents the god Brahma, who is Azazel). This was derived from the Theosophical Society seal which likewise employs a swastika (variously known as a ‘Hermetic Cross’/‘Universal Hermetic Cross’ and the ‘Cross of the Magi’) within its emblem, this being one of the signs/sigils which represented the angel Azazel to whom these groups swore allegiance. For more information, turn now to Appendix A). The Thule Society was the organization which sponsored the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (The German Workers Party) which was later 92

transformed by Adolf Hitler (who himself had been indoctrinated into Theosophical Society teachings) into the Nazi Party (a typical example of an Intelligence undercover organizational takeover formally known as “Siezing the Lodge”). In fact Azazel and his angels are the German Nazi “underground supermen” (also known as ‘Unknown Supermen’) said to live beneath the Earth’s surface, of whom the Rosicrucian author and British statesman Bulwer-Lytton wrote. It must be noted the word ‘Thule,’ from whence the Thule Society derives its name, is a Greek word which translates as ‘isle of the four Masters,’ in reference to the place where Azazel, along with his three angelic companions, lie entrapped within the earth, this place being located as it is between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers (for which reason Arabs call this area ‘The Island’). Hitler claimed to be in communication with these angels—and Hitler’s ultimate goal was to free them. Concerning the Thule Society: “‘The inner core within the Thule Group** were all Satanists who practiced Black Magic,’ wrote Trevor Ravenscroft. ‘That is to say, they were solely concerned with raising their consciousness by means of (magic) rituals to an awareness of evil and non-human intelligences in the Universe and with achieving a means of communication with the Intelligences (read: communication with the alien rebel angels). And the Master-Adept of this (inner) circle was Dietrich Eckart.’” Rule By Secrecy by Jim Marrs (** “Briefly, the creed of the Thule society inner circle is as follows: Thule was a legendary island in the far north, similar to Atlantis, supposedly the center of a lost, high-level civilization. But not all secrets of that civilization had been completely wiped out [destroyed by the Flood]. Those that remained were being guarded by ancient, highly intelligent beings (similar to the ‘Masters’ of Theosophy or the White Brotherhood) (in truth, not similar, but in fact the very same beings). The truly initiated could establish contact with these beings [with Azazel and his angels] by means of magic-mystical rituals.” - The Unknown Hitler by Wulf Schwartzwaller, 1990 A.D.)

“...At the end of…1919...Hitler met Dietrich Eckart. Most biographers have underestimated the influence that Eckart exerted on Hitler. He was the wealthy publisher and editor-in-chief of an anti-Semitic journal which he called In Plain German. Eckart was also a committed occultist and a master of magic. As an initiate, Eckart belonged to the inner circle of the Thule Society as well as other esoteric orders (including the German branch of the Theosophical Society).” - The Unknown Hitler by Wulf Schwartzwaller (Hitler had in fact dedicated his book Mein Kampf to Dietrich Eckart)

Dietrich Eckhart was Hitler’s magical mentor. As we learn 93

from The Spear of Destiny by Trevor Ravenscroft: “As Eckhart lay dying in December, 1923, he famously said: “Follow Hitler! He will dance, but it is I who have called the tune! I have initiated him into the ‘Secret Doctrine,’ opened his centers in vision and given him the means to communicate with the Powers (with Azazel and his angels). Do not mourn for me: I shall have influenced history more than any other German.” The ‘Secret Doctrine’ into which Hitler was indoctrinated were the teachings of Helena Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society, he referring of course to Blavatsky’s book entitled The Secret Doctrine. “The ‘Secret Doctrine’ imparted to (Adolf) Hitler by (Dietrich) Eckart and University of Munich Professor (Karl) Haushofer was an amalgamation of concepts and philosophies largely stemming from the work of Madame Blavatsky (a Spiritualist medium with many Masonic associations) and her Theosophical Society… Blavatsky, in forming the German branch of the Theosophical Society in 1884, brought her belief in channeling, reincarnation, racial superiority and extraterrestrial visitation (by super humanoid beings known as angels/devas/Masters) to people who later would form the theological basis of Nazism (including Dietrich Eckart himself, who would convey this knowledge to Hitler). ... ‘The rationale behind many later Nazi projects can be traced back ... to ideas first popularized by (H.P.) Blavatsky,’ agreed (American Intelligence officer Peter) Levenda, who detailed connections with other European secret organizations. ‘We have the Theosophical Society, the OTO [Ordo Templi Orientis or Oriental Templars], [Dr Rudolf Steiner’s] Anthroposophical Society and [the (Hermetic) Order of] the Golden Dawn all intertwined in incestuous embrace.” - Rule By Secrecy by Jim Marrs (Notable quote: “…the techniques Dietrich Eckart used were in part derived from the sexual magic of Aleister Crowley. In 1912 this famed British magician was named IX British head of a secret Berlin lodge called Ordo Templi Orientis [OTO] which practiced various forms of sexual magic.” - The Unknown Hitler: Nazi Roots in the Occult. The Spear of Destiny also links the sexual magic of Aleister Crowley to Dietrich Eckart. At any rate, it was at about this time that Rudolph Steiner sought to unite all the disparate magic practicing groups into one large “International Bund’ [See Chapter 11, Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D., pp. 97-108]. Bund means ‘Union.’ It is also with such a union in mind when in 1964 A.D. Doreen Valiente helped to establish the Witchcraft Research Association, founded by Gerard Noel in an effort to unite all the witches of Great Britain into one united body. Francis King throws an interesting light on the subject when he explains: “The Masonic body alluded to [with which the Freemason Rudolph Steiner was linked at the time he attempted this Union] was the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis and Mizraim,** centred in Manchester [England] and led by John 94

Yarker. Once again this links up with the O.T.O. whose chiefs were, without exception members of this [Freemasonic] Rite. It is interesting to note that [Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member and 33° Freemason Aleister] Crowley eventually achieved the direction of this Rite some three years after he entered it in 1910...Yarker had recently [circa 1912 A.D.] established links between his clandestine, fee snatching organisations and [Theosophical Society president] Annie Besant’s Co-Masonry.” – Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D., Footnotes, p.104. It was within this secretive Continental, soupy, magical-mix where we first encounter Adolf Hitler himself). (**The Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis and Mizraim is derived from the magic rituals of the priests of ancient Egypt, as Memphis is a city in Egypt and Mizraim is the Hebrew word for the land of Egypt. It was Carbonari-member Giuseppe Garibaldi who had first combined the heretofore individual Freemasonic rites of Memphis and Mizraim in 1881 A.D. Note well the Carbonari links to this Freemasonic order. Memphis-Mizraim is composed of 99°)

Adolf Hitler, it is said, was an Adept of Black Magic (as we learn from Timothy W. Ryback [director of the Salzburg Seminar] in his book entitled Hitler’s Forgotten Library: “One of the most heavily marked books [in Hitler’s personal library] is Magic: History, Theory and Practice [1923 A.D.], by Ernst Schertel.” Hitler’s personal library also contained a number of books authored by members of the Theosophical Society, including books penned by Theosophical Society president Annie Besant, he being as previously noted, initiated into the Secret Doctrine of Theosophical Society-founder Madame Blavatsky by a member of the Germanic section of the order founded by Blavatsky herself. In fact, Hitler’s idea of a new superhuman Aryan race originated with this Theosophical Movement for as we learn from theosophical writings such as to be found in Modern Theosophy: An Outline of Its Principles [by Claude Falls Wright, FTS, 1894 A.D.], “their [the rebellious fallen angels’] mission in the world” included the creation of such “a new race.” Hitler was simply following Azazel’s orders. It must be remembered, Theosophy teaches the angels came to our Earth to help with mankind’s evolutionary progress in the creation of this coming new super race), while members of Hitler’s feared secret police, the SS (Schutzstaffel), like their fuehrer Adolf Hitler, were practitioners of black magic and students of the occult as well. Azazel and his group of angels through the process of thought-transference (Overshadowing) exerted their influence upon the mind as well as actions of Spiritualist medium Adolf Hitler, prompting him to action. The Dawn of Magic written by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier states: “When Arthur Machen speaks of the World of Evil, ‘full of caverns and crepuscular beings dwelling therein,’ he is referring, as an adept of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, to that other world in which man comes into 95

contact with the ‘Unknown Supermen.’ It seems certain that Hitler shared this belief, and even claimed to have been in touch with these ‘Supermen.’” End quote. The Unknown Supermen of which he speaks and with whom Hitler was in contact was none other than Azazel and his group of fallen angels who are entrapped within the earth. Amazingly enough: “…with the coming of Nazism it was the ‘other world’ which ruled over us for a number of years…” - The Dawn of Magic by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier, 1960 A.D. By “other world” they reference the angel Azazel and the angels entrapped along with him in the Egyptian Amenta. Azazel controlled Germany through his control of Hitler. It must be mentioned the Welsh author/mystic Arthur Machen was a friend of A. E. Waite and, like Waite, was also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn is the magic practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society itself. Waite had translated fellow Golden Dawn member and French magician Eliphas Levi’s Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (Dogma and Ritual of High Magic [1896 A.D.]) into English under the title Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual even bragging: “I believe that I may speak with a certain accent of authority upon any question which connects with the French magus Éliphas Lévi. I am an old student of his works, and of the aspects of occult science and magical history which arise out of them; in the year 1886 I published a digest of his writings which has been the only attempt to present them to English readers until the present year when I have undertaken a translation in extenso of the Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, which is actually in the hands of the printer. Now, it has not been alleged in so many words that the radix of Modern Diabolism and the Masonic cultus of Lucifer is to be found in Éliphas Lévi, but that is the substance of the charge.” - Devil-Worship in France Chapter XIV by A.E. Waite (1896 A.D.) (In The Sources of Madame Blavatsky’s Writings, William Emmette [W.E.] Coleman [“Member, American Oriental Society, Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland”] in 1893 A.D. notes: “Madame Blavatsky was a spiritualistic medium many years before she became a theosophist, and in its inception theosophy was an off-shoot from spiritualism; and from this source was a large part of her theosophy taken,” it also being as Coleman notes “derived from the works of Eliphas Levi,” the French ceremonial magician/invoker of fallen angels. Another author to whom Blavatsky owes a debt of gratitude is the Cambridge-educated Freemasonic Druid Godfrey Higgins [b.1772 – d.1833 A.D.] and to his books Anacalypsis and The Celtic Druids in which he cryptically hints at the existence of “a secret doctrine known only in the deep recesses of the crypts of Tibet…” It is the quest for the discovery of this pure fount of the archaic Wisdom-Religion, the common source of all such magical Wisdom-Religions, and this according to the Italian Renaissance humanist philosopher Marsilio Ficino’s concept of the Prisca theologia, the belief that one true religion is the basis for all of the others, the existence of which occultists such as Higgins 96

and Blavatsky are constantly striving to unveil. Marsilio Ficino [b.1433 – d.1499 A.D.], whose father was a physician in the court of Cosimo de Medici [founder of the Platonic Academy], served as tutor for Cosimo’s grandson, Lorenzo de Medici, and for Cabalist Pico della Mirandola as well).

( Author’s Note: As SRIA member Hargrave Jennings reveals in The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries [p.119]: “…the British golden collar of “S.S.” [worn on the collar of a Knight of the Order of the Garter. To learn its significance turn now to Appendix A] which is worn as a relic of the oldest day (in perpetuation of a mythos long ago buried (a nod to the fact that Azazel is currently interred within the earth)…and forgotten in the dust of ages) by some of our [British] officials [including the Lord Mayor of the City of London Coporation], courtly and otherwise…belongs to no known order of knighthood, but only to the very highest order of knighthood, the Magian, or to Magic.” It is this author’s opinion the S.S. sign is the sign of Azazel [‘Az’ means ‘serpent’/’el’ means ‘shining one’. The name Az-az-el thusly may be interpreted as the ‘shining one’ (angel) whose sign is the double serpent, thus represented as two serpentine S’s (‘SS’) also known as ‘Esses.’ The Gnostic group known as the Essenes derives its name from him: “The Essenes were Christians in the Gnostic sense, and according to Pliny the elder, they were a Hermetic Society that had existed for ages on ages of time.” – Logia of the Lord by Gerald Massey. Massey also writes: “The Essenes were phenomenal Spiritualists…” – Gnostic and Historic Christianity]. This would explain why some of the Dead Sea scrolls of the Essenes at Qumran contained magic spells. Seems the Essenes also had their own practicing ceremonial magicians (It must also be noted the symbol used on Gnostic magic talismans depicting the serpent god Chnouphis, who represented the angel Azazel, is rendered in the form of a serpentine ‘S’). According to S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p.80 one ancient spelling of the name of the angel Azazel was Asasel, god of Edessa, rendered with double S’s (SS) instead of the customary double Z’s. Since early Semitic alphabets did not contain vowels and ‘el’ serves only to identify him as a god, when these devices are taken away we are left simply with Azazel’s arcane name ‘SS’ (the double serpent). The Nazis incorporated Azazel’s sign (SS) within the emblem of its feared Black Magic-practicing secret police force. A swastika in its construction is in essence two crossed stylized S’s in the form of yet another symbol of Azazel, the ‘X’). (Author’s Note: Azazel’s wife’s name is derived by playing this very same vowel game. When we add ‘I’s to Azazel’s name ‘SS’ we derive Isis. The human wives of the angel’s were often named after the angels [the Elohim] to whom they belonged. With the inclusion of the vowel ‘e’ is derived ‘esse’ as in Essene; with an ‘o’ [the disc] and a serpentine ‘z,’ ‘Oz’)

Other famous practitioners of black magic included the Druids. Celtic Druidic rituals are included in many modern-day black magic ceremonies. Druidism retains its popularity in Britain even today, particularly in connection with the mystical site of Stonehenge. In fact, one of the centers of the Arch-Druids of Britain is London [a city also known as the New Troy of Brutus]. Magic practices were also part and parcel of Sumerian, Babylonian, and Egyptian religions (ancient Egyptian priests were ceremonial magicians who practiced black magic; they were also by definition Masons, erecting great temples and pyramids in honor of their gods the fallen angels in the great tradition of magic-practicing Masonry) as well as Coptic Christianity (the Coptic Leiden Papyrus, an Egyptian Christian 97

magical book, ritually invokes the “holy gods [read: fallen angels] of the abyss”). According to 33° Freemasonic author and ceremonial magician Albert Pike (circa. 1871 A.D.) in what is considered to be the Masonic Bible entitled Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry: “The first Druids were the true children of the Magi, and their initiation came from Egypt and Chaldaea (Babylon), that is to say, from the pure sources of the primitive Kabalah” (Notable quote: “...our mode of teaching the principles of our profession [Masonry] is derived from the Druids...and our chief emblems originally came from Egypt...” - The Spirit of Masonry by William Hutchinson, Mason, 1775 A.D. The Freemasonic author Albert Churchward similarly blithely states that Masons are: “our present Druids” (See Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man: the Evolution of Religious Doctrine from the Eschatology of the Ancient Egyptians by Albert Churchward, London, England, 1913 A.D., Second Edition, p.189), and Masonic author George Oliver admits: “The Druids had a high veneration for the Serpent. Their great god, Hu (who represented the Genesis serpent Azazel), was typified by that reptile; and he is represented by the Bards as ‘the wonderful chief Dragon, the sovereign of heaven’ (the word ‘dragon’ in The Bible is commonly used as a synonym of the word ‘serpent’).” – p. 36 Signs and Symbols by George Oliver, New York, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, 1906 A.D. One essential teaching of Kabalah is the story of Azazel and his angels, that they are entrapped within the earth, and that they may in fact be contacted. Indeed, magic was a common practice amongst the high-degree Freemasonic set, for as we learn from prominent Freemason and Theosophical Society member C. W. Leadbeater in Glimpses of Masonic History (circa 1926 A.D.): “…the seventh ray is beginning to dominate the world - the ray of ceremonial magic which brings the especial cooperation of the Angelic hosts, of which Masonry itself with its many coloured pageant of rites is a splendid manifestation.” One of the purposes of the Egyptian system of magic was to gain mastery and control over Azazel and his angels, who were the Egyptian ‘gods’ said to be dwelling within the earth, thereby compelling these angels to do their bidding. An invocation found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVI B.D. Chap. XXVII, speaking of Azazel and the angels who are imprisoned with him within the earth, exhorts: “O ye lords of eternity, ye possessors of everlastingness…be obedient unto me in the underworld.” In deference to the fact that the Egyptian system of magic constituted a ritual cultus surrounding the angel Azazel who was imprisoned within the earth along with his angelic followers, Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XIV B.D. Chap. XVIII states: “Now as concerning every (magic) charm and all the words (spells) which may be spoken against me (by opposing magicians), may the gods (read: Azazel and the angels imprisoned with him) resist them, and may each and every company of the gods (such angels as were invoked by the opposing magician) withstand them.” Practitioners of black magic such as that employed in the Egyptian system of magic often used the fallen angels as weapons aimed at other persons, against other practitioners of magic in particular, in a kind of magical warfare of sorts. Cunning folk of one type or another were often hired to combat these assaults as is emplified by the use of ‘witch-bottles’ employed to counteract the malevolent attacks of witches here in the Americas and in Europe. Explains Margaret Alice 98

Murray in The Witch Cult in Western Europe (University College, London, 1921 A.D.): “The magical ceremonies performed by the witches with the help of the Devil (Margaret Alice Murray uses the word ‘Devil’ to refer to the Horned God [Cernunnos], the “god of the witches,” who is in fact, the fallen angel Azazel) were usually for the destruction of, or for doing harm to, an enemy.” This fact helps to partly explain the various military Intelligence agency’s interest in the occult, as does the following account in the Malleus Maleficarum (Part 3 Question XXXIV by Heinrich Kramer, 1486/87 A.D.): “And it is a fact that some definite agreement is formed between witches (practitioners of magic) and devils (fallen angels) whereby some shall be able to hurt (through goetia, black magic) and others to heal (through mageia, white magic)…Archer-wizards and enchanters of weapons, who are only protected by being patronized, defended and received by temporal Lords, are subject to the same penalties; and they who patronize them, etc., or obstruct the officers of justice (the Inquisitors) in their proceedings against them, are subject to all the penalties (which penalties were often of a capital nature) to which the patrons of heretics are liable, and are to be excommunicated.” In those days ‘excommunication’ often resulted in death. And again we are instructed: “The making of wax images (a practice akin to the production of voodoo dolls) for the destruction of an enemy has always been supposed to be a special art of a witch (“A witch is a person that hath conference [is in communication] with the Devil [a fallen angel] to take counsel or to do some act.” - Lord Edward Coke [1552 – 1634 A.D.], Lord Chief Justice of England under King James I; Coke was the main rival of Sir Francis Bacon [with Bacon by my vote count voted most likely to be in fact a closeted ceremonial magician/medium/Spiritualist]). The action has its origin in the belief in sympathetic magic; the image—of clay or wax—was made in the likeness of the doomed person, it was pierced with thorns or pins, and was finally dissolved in water or melted before a slow fire. The belief was that whatever was done to the image would be repeated in the body of the enemy, and as the image slowly melted he would get weaker and die. The method was probably quite effectual if the doomed man knew that magic, in which he believed, was being practised against him; but when the method was not successful the witches were often prepared to supplement magic with physical means, such as poison and cold steel (the cold steel of a dagger)…” – p.72 The God of the Witches by Margaret Alice Murray, D.Lit., “Fellow of University College, London,” 1933 A.D. And I

might add, as often these assassinations are perpetrated with a ritually consecrated magic knife (known as an ‘athame’), such killings become characteristically ceremonial in nature. Murray also writes: “(The French Inquisitor Pierre) De Lancre (1553 – 1631 A.D.) makes the statement that ‘there are two sorts of witches, the first sort are composed of witches who, having abandoned God, give themselves to drugs (including those of a hallucinogenic nature) and poisons (which falls into the ‘magical use of herbs’ category). The second are those who have made an express renunciation of Jesus Christ and of the (Christian) Faith and have given themselves to Satan. These perform wonders’ (as indeed: “…it is very easy for the Enemy [the devil, a fallen angel] to create apparitions and appearances of such a character that they shall be deemed real and actual objects…” - Syriac Paradise of the Fathers).” - The God of the Witches p.33 by Margaret Alice Murray, 1933 A.D. (As the famed Scottish author of the enchanted novel Ivanhoe [a classic tale of Medieval magick and witchcraft] Sir Walter Scott explains in his lesser known exposѐ entitled Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft Letter II (1830 A.D.), the witches of ancient Europe “were very apt to eke out their capacity of mischief by the use of actual poison, so that the epithet of 99

sorceress and poisoner were almost synonymous.” Undeniably: “…witches…were often involved in illegal conspiracies, sometimes as accomplices, sometimes as instigators. They made images for murder, and when these failed they sometimes resorted to poison, which did not fail.” – Witchcraft in England. The use of poisons by conspiring witches is highlighted in what is known as the Affair of the Poisons: “The Affair of the Poisons (L’affaire des poisons) was a major murder scandal in France which took place in 1677–1682, during the reign of (the Sun King) King Louis XIV (it even included a mistress of the king by whom he had fathered seven illegitimate children of the House of Bourbon). During it, a number of prominent members of the aristocracy were implicated and sentenced on charges of poisoning and witchcraft. The scandal reached into the inner circle of the king. The origin of the case began in 1675 after the trial of Marie-Madeleine-Marguerite d’Aubray, Marquise de Brinvilliers, who had conspired with her lover, army captain Godin de Sainte-Croix, to poison her father Antonine Dreux d’Aubray in 1666 and two of her brothers, Antoine d’Aubray and Francois d’Aubray, in 1670, in order to inherit their estates.” – Wikipedia: The Affair of the Poisons. One of the men involved in this scandal carried out a lucrative trade in what he called “inheritance powders,” the main ingredient of which was arsenic. Arsenic was often used by nobility to murder one another in the course of palace intrigues and for this very reason arsenic is known as both the Poison of Kings and the King of Poisons. Zosimos and Albertus Magnus (Albertus Magnus is a Catholic Saint who served as a Bishop in Bavaria) were two such magic-practicing alchemists who reported preparing such toxic arsenic concoctions. Most assuredly: “Witchcraft, and Voodoo…relies greatly on poisoning for its magic, and the first gypsies [well known practitioners of magic] were said to poison unscrupulously.” – p.9 Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling by Charles G. Leland, 1891 A.D.

Some such poisons are more exotic in nature. Wicca HighPriestess Sybil Leek in her Diary of a Witch speaks circa 1968 A.D. of: “…a rare fungus called the ‘Calendar of Death’ … used in three known cases to dispose of heads of state…the person intending to use it invites the intended victim…to take a meal with him. The fungus is carefully grated up and boiled with the vegetables. It is tasteless and the host takes care that the guest alone gets the portion with the tidbit in it. The guest returns home, replete with a good meal. For eightyfour days he feels nothing at all. On the eighty-fifth day he is taken ill with an infection of the intestines, lingers a few days, and ultimately dies. No autopsy reveals the use of the ‘Calendar of Death,’ and the host can rarely be associated with the demise of his one-time guest.” That’s just something to think about when you ponder whether or not to accept your next dinner invitation as most poisons are administered surreptitiously to victims through food and drink. In The Book of the Epodes of Horace, the Roman lyric poet Horace speaks of a victim fed poisonous herbs (Ode III) and of a bride befallen as she donned poisonous snake-venom injected garments the gift of an injurious witch (Ode V). Horace (65 – 8 B.C.) the leading Roman lyric poet during the days of Emperor Augustus (Horace was as well a ceremonial magician; typical of its time, lyric poets were in addition practitioners of magic; this tradition was continued by 100

Medaeval Gaelic and British bards (as well as by Thomas the Rhymer, a famous 13th Century Scottish seer) and various traveling minstrels and Neoplatonic troubadors [which morphed into magic-practicing theatrical groups such as the British bard Shakespeares’ group and later even into vaudeville stage magic acts, Broadway plays, Rock musicians/lyricists (a lyricist is in essence a lyric poet) and even into Hollywood with its magnificently staged, wonderfully choreographed Saturnalia musical celebrations all whimsically set to film, and later by Romance Era poets such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats and even later as you’ll learn in a following chapter, by 20th Century itinerant Beatnik magic-practicing poets. As the wise witch Doreen Valiente writes in the Introduction to her book Natural Magic: “…poetry is essentially a magical art” and as Colin Wilson helpfully points out in his book The Occult: “The shamans were also poets and storytellers.” Many of these Beatniks were also in fact magic-practicing poets and novelists, and this according to age old shamanic story-telling traditions. Even the modern day witch as we learn from Wiccan witch Patricia Crowther in Lid Off the Cauldron p.54 typically composes his or her spells using simple rhyming couplets. As occultist Brad Steiger explains in Revelations: The Divine Fire: “Plato remarked that all good poets, epic as well as lyric [lyric poetry in Greece and Rome was traditionally accompanied by music and dance with poets such as Pindar composing poems complete with musical accompaniment and dance choreography the performances of which would be virtually indistinguishable from Broadway musicals and rock concerts of today], do not compose their poems by art but by (demonic) possession.” Indeed, as occult author/poet and practitioner of magic Robert Graves (whose grandfather, Bishop Charles Graves, a Fellow of the Royal Society, was an expert on the mystical Druidic alphabet of Ogham) remarked in The White Goddess, the: “…true function of poetry is religious invocation of the Muse…” Indeed, the very definition of the word music in its archaic sense is in fact ‘the art of the Muses.’ The Greek poets’ invocations to Muses that the Muses should fill their mouths with charming poetical words were in fact magical invocations to rebellious fallen angels/daemons—Greek and Roman poets typically wrought their works through a form of automatic-writing composition). The Roman lyric poet Horace had a special kind of consort known as a Hetaera (a compound of Hecate/Hera, the Roman and Greek names denoting the goddess of the witches), a witch with 101

whom a ceremonial magician practiced sex-magic, named Canidia (a Scarlet Woman of sorts), by all accounts an accomplished sorceress in her own right as well as a concoctor of Colchian poisons (See Ode XVII; it really is an amusing little story, for Hell hath no fury like a Hetaera scorned. Colchis [located in the modern day country of Georgia] was a Black Sea region specifically known for its sorceries). Following the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March by the lifeless cold steel of multiple traitorous daggers (no doubt of the magic athame variety), Horace joined the Roman army, serving under the generalship of Brutus (Brutus would eventually establish New Troy at what is now known as London). As Montague Summers explains concerning the military role magic-practicing poets such as Horace played in classical ancient warfare: “In war, the poet, by cursing the enemy in rhythmic runes, rendered services not inferior to the heroism of the warrior himself.” – The History of Witchcraft and Demonology (Another notable example of a practitioner of magic being hired to curse a foe in order to overcome them in battle is the Biblical story of the wice man Balaam, the magic-practicing high-priest of Baal, as related in Numbers 22:1-11: “…curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land… he whom thou [Balaam] blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed [compare to Psalms 37:22]…” [yet another example of such a curse may be found in Psalms 109:1-19. Jacob, the progenitor of the 12 Tribes of Israel, himself would cast a curse upon Levi his son, the progenitor of the Levitical priesthood: “And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father…Simeon and Levi [Levi from whose tribal family descends the Levitical priesthood in Israel] are brethren; instruments of cruelty [including objects of war such as the sword] are in their habitations. O my soul, come not thou into their secret [mystery]; unto their assembly [their tribal gathering/synagogue], mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man [as related in Genesis 34:1-30 Simeon and Levi had in fact revengeaby slain with the sword through lies and deception an entire city full of men due to the sins of just one man. This presages the death of Jesus at the hands of the Levitical high-priest Caiphas]…Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.” – Genesis 49:1-7. This curse saw its fulfillment with the destruction of Solomon’s Temple by King Nebuchadnezzar and the subsequent Babylonian captivity [See Genesis Chapter 49 where is issued both curses and blessings upon a group of people]. In Leviticus Chapter 24 we are treated to the story of a man who was in fact stoned to death for issuing a curse upon God. Bacchanalian celebrations can trace their roots to the land of the Philistines in Palestine: “And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god [Baal/Azazel, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.” – Judges 9:27. In 1Samuel 17:43 we are told that a “Philistine cursed David by his gods” with 2Samuel 16:13 providing an example of the ritual issuance of such a curse this time cast by the infamous wice man Shimei, a Benjamite of the Tribe of Benjamin (one of the original 12 Tribes of Israel) of the magical house of Saul. In 2Kings 2:24 we are treated to the effects of such a curse issued by Elisha the prophet]. Magic was also employed in an attempt to destroy an enemy’s life sustaining crops** as well as his herds of nourishing livestock). Such mystical poetical practices fall under the heading of ‘Rune Magic.’ As the practicing witch Doreen Valiente explains, a ‘rune’ is a magical rhyme, 102

and: “Originally, the Runes were the letters it (the magical rhyme, more commonly known as a ‘spell’) was written down in. Each of the Rune letters had a magical meaning. Runic inscriptions were cut upon the hilt of a warrior’s sword, to make it powerful and victorious in battle; and this may be the origin of the ‘magical weapons,’ knives and swords with mystic sigils and inscriptions on them, which play such an important part in mediaeval magic (the very existence of the magic sword in the magician’s bag of tricks is in itself a testament to magic’s martial roots). The magician uses such weapons to draw the magic circle, and to command spirits.” – p.21 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present. The use of the traditional magical Druidic runic alphabet known as Ogham was in fact: “…continued by the Bards of Wales in order to write down the traditional knowledge they claimed to have received from the Druids” (Ibid p.21). The word ‘bard’ itself is from the Latin bardus (Greek bardos) used to denote a Druidic Celtic priest—Mediaeval bards themselves carried on the Druidic magic tradition. William Shakespeare, a contemporary of Queen Elizabeth I (she was known to have attended a number of his plays) and of her court official, the Welsh ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee (as noted by Rollo Ahmed in The Black Art [1936 A.D.]: “Much of Welsh magic carried on the most ancient Druid customs into comparatively recent times.”), was himself considered to be a bard (Shakespeare’s nickname was in fact ‘The Bard,’ he being as it were, a Druidic Celtic priest)—the subject of magic permeates his writings (clearly the writings of a magic adept) and he would go on to become a 20th Century Humanistic educational mainstay as well. Public school students in America such as I have long been subjected to his seemingly undecipherable psychotic ramblings as I now subject you to mine. Poetic justice indeed! The father of Sufi adept/Russian cermonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff was himself one of the last of a long line of traditional ashohks, Armenian bards who had transmitted their ancient legends orally from generation to generation in the grand old magic-practicing bardic tradition (originally, the teachings of Jewish Kabalism were likewise passed down orally in such a verbal manner). Sufi Muslim magic adepts such as Jami and Rumi [Rumi was the founder of the Whirling Dervishes tradition] were themselves mystic poets and theirs to be certain is no dieing trade—their numbers had literally exploded in the 20th Century as Sufism enjoyed a renaissance.

The magical use of herbs to concoct poisons was also the realm of the apothecary. The eminent seer Nostradamus, whose magically divined prophecies were written in poetical quatrains, was a famous apothecary/physician of note (the word ‘seer’ is but a shortened form of the word ‘sorcerer.’ In William Shakespeare’s play entitled Romeo and Juliet, the elixir of death by which Romeo committed suicide was purchased by Romeo from such an “apothecary”). Indeed, The Acts of John (circa the 2nd Century A.D.) speaks of “sorcery and the poisoner’s art that is sister to it,” for the well-honed art of concocting poisons (and the successful execution of stealthy assassinations) fall within the realm of magic, particularly as a subcategory of the occult science of alchemy (as was the fabrication of gunpowder, an essential ingredient in modern warfare, originally an alchemical undertaking). And one must be reminded, according to 1Enoch VIII.1 and 1Enoch LXIX, it was the fallen angels who first taught mankind the ways of war (as well as it must be remembered, the use of magic and the use of herbs to harm as well as heal). The Byzantine chronicler George 103

Syncellus in his signal work Chronography (composed approximately 810 A.D.), quoting from the writings of Gnostic Greek alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis (a city referred to by the ancient Greeks as Khemmis/Chemmis where archaeologists have found fragments of The Book of Enoch) writes (circa the 3rd – 4th Centuries A.D.): “The ancient and divine writings (amongst which was no doubt the aforementioned Book of Enoch) say that the angels became enamoured of women; and, descending, taught them all the works of nature (natural magic/physics). From them, therefore, is the first tradition, chema, concerning these arts; for they called this book chema and hence the science of chemistry (a cognate of the word ‘alchemy’) takes its name.” And let us not forget, Egypt, home of the Hermetic arts, was known as the ‘Land of Khem,” a civilization known for its alchemists. (Pertinent Quote: “At one time chemists were considered magicians. Albertus Magnus (1193-1290), considered a wizard in his day, was responsible for the discovery of caustic potash, cinnabar, and ceruse. He was a leader in witchcraft… He was a chemist who was preoccupied with turning other metals into gold by (transmutation) alchemy. In the course of his experiments he discovered things that were to be of far more value to succeeding generations than a pot of gold. Potassium bicarbonate was discovered by another alchemist of that era. Sulphuric ether and hydrochloric acid were other compounds the alchemists discovered as they practiced their kind of witchcraft. The existence of gas, sodium sulphate, phosphorus and tin oxide were other discoveries made during that period. In the course of their experiments, these men chanted, lit candles [‘candle magic’] and did all sorts of weird things and, as a result, became the forerunners of the abracadabra type magician.” – Witchcraft for All by Louise Huebner, 1970 A.D.

As was the case with the sorcerer/ceremonial magician/Jewish Kabbalist Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, who accompanied the First Reich armies of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian into battle, magic practices have long been associated with martial enterprises: “The Assyrian armies were always accompanied by the Magi” and the “Chaldean chief of the Magi accompanied the Chaldean armies” (See S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man pp.113,114). Indeed: “In Chaldea, as in other Asiatic and Eastern nations, the connection between religious rites and the art of magic was 104

inseparable. The highest class of the Priesthood - those set apart for Temple service…practiced the highest form of magical rites. Babylonish Priests…claimed to be able to cast spells on whole armies, arresting their progress, or paralyzing their power of action. They could even cause the downfall of nations…” - Art Magic. The worldly-wise alchemist Renaissance-man Paracelcus in fact accompanied Imperial armies in roles of both physician as well as magician, and another famous example of a sorcerer aiding in martial pursuits in the role of a military adviser is the famed 13th Century Italian astrologer/astronomer/ceremonial magician Guido Bonatti, the most celebrated astrologer/astronomer of his day (Bonatti appears as a character in Dante’s Divine Comedy, fated to hell as a punishment for his sorceries), councilor to the most powerful Holy Roman Emperor of the Middle Ages, Frederick II (1194 – 1250 A.D.), Sicilian leader of the Sixth Crusade. Bonatti’s astrological work entitled Liber Astronomicus (a ‘liber’ is by definition a ‘magic book’/‘grimoire’) is in part a treatise on warfare and the successful waging thereof. Indeed, the Malleus Maleficarum speaks of the existence of “Archer-wizards and enchanters of weapons” who served those who would martial forces in battle. And of course, Shaman-prepared poisoned darts and arrows have themselves claimed many a victim. No doubt Egyptian, Greek and Roman forces entered into battle brandishing magically ‘enchanted’ swords. Indeed, in the Medieval age grimoire entitled The Greater Key of Solomon a practitioner of magic is provided the instructions by which may be created an entire arsenal of magical weapons. During World War II, Hitler’s SS was largely composed of modern day Warrior-Wizards and the armies of England, itself a former Roman province, widely employed witches and ceremonial magicians in their martial endeavors as well. In Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft Letter III by British knight of the realm Sir Walter Scott we learn of “Prophetesses (known as Hexe, meaning ‘witch,’ from Haxa, meaning ‘chief priestess’),” “females who had intercourse (who were in communication) with the spiritual world, (by definition, mediums)…honoured among the German tribes (in the time of the Roman general Tacitus) that…rose to the highest rank in their councils by their supposed supernatural knowledge, and even obtained a share in the direction of their armies.” Historically speaking, diviners/astrologers (also known by the modern 105

moniker of Fortune-Teller) were often consulted prior to any major military undertaking (much as, the reader shall learn, do many politicians of today). 1Samuel 28:1-19 in a like way tells us King Saul sought advice from the Spiritualist medium and Pythoness-witch of Endor from whom he received an ill fated omen of impending martial defeat prior to his taking the field of battle against the Philistines whose armies had gathered in opposition to his own (for which offense we are told: “…Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD…for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it…” - 1Chronicles 10:13). A more modern example of a Spiritualist involved in martial pursuits is Emanuel Swedenborg, the influential Christian theologian/seer (by definition a Cabalist) who additionally served as a military engineer. And one should think even the ability to heal by the use of mageia, or white magic, such as through a practical application of the magical use of herbs, would be useful for healing wounds sustained in battle. The preparation of poultices would indeed fall under this heading (Pertinent Quote: “The old-time witch had a very extensive and specialized knowledge of herbs, plants and trees. She it was who acted as midwife, healer, practical psychologist and worker of magic, usually for the good of the community [which in days of old was largely composed of the witch’s kith and kin]. There was an old saying, ‘The better the midwife, the better the witch.’” – p.83 The Rebirth of Witchcraft. Indeed: “A known and trusted white witch was a friendly and beneficent being who nullified the spells of malignant sorcerers and cured diseases, sometimes by occult arts and sometimes by simple herbal remedies and commonsense prescriptions.” – p.19 Witchcraft in England by Christina Hole, 1947 A.D. And again: “The only physician of the people for a thousand years was the Witch… When Paracelsus [the alchemist father of the pharmaceutical sciences], at Basle [Switzerland], in 1527, [breaking with prevailing Mediaeval theories] threw all medicine into the fire, he avowed that he knew nothing but what he had learnt from witches.” – Introduction to La Sorciere by J. Michelet, 1862 A.D.).

Many of the major players within the realm of modern magic possess a martial background. You will find this to be the case time and time again (no doubt indicative of the presence of secretive magic societies within the American [as well as British] armed forces themselves. This certainly would explain outgoing-American President and former-General Dwight D. Eisenhauer’s warnings 106

concerning the Leviathan which was America’s unbridled militaryindustrial complex in his 1961 A.D. farewell address to the nation, which, I might add, is a horrifically prescient nightmare come dreadfully true). Is it any wonder warriors would invoke the god of war and magic Azazel? Magic and the military are inextricably and indelibly ingrained (as is also true of Freemasonry due to its historical associations with military engineering endeavors including the construction of fortifications such as castles, forts and defensive city walls), even at this later date (to magic-practicing warriors, war itself involves an aspect of ceremonial human sacrifice, whether in the waging of the war itself or in its subsequent bloody aftermath, a most historically classic case in point being the Aztecs of Mexico who sacrificed prisoners of war to gods representing fallen angels during ritual magic ceremonies employing enchanted obsidian knives [itzli] upon Masonic temple pyramids. And one may not withhold the title of Master Mason from the magic-practicing priestly constructors of the Egyptian temple pyramids—indeed, the author of Art Magic calls the Great Pyramid of Cheops “a veritable Lodge of Ancient Free Masonry.” Masons throughout history have been practitioners and purveyors of the maleficent magical arts and remain so to this day). Magic charms, talismans and protective amulets were and yet still are today employed as a type of super-natural protection for defense during battles, which, as one may assume due to the injurious nature of warfare, would be of major martial interest (as well as other magic spells/practices in general, such as the Shamanistic Ghost Dance of which it was believed with the help of the spirits they thereby were in contact rendered supernatural protection to Native American armed forces against the bullets of American cavalrymen [which powers proved as fruitless at Wounded Knee (See pp.450-1 Treason in America for details) as it did in all other subsequent battles]). Such magical practices, ancient in their origin, are an abomination in the eyes of God. In Deuteronomy 18:10-12 God warns: “There shall not be found among you any one…that useth divination (such as fortune-tellers), or an observer of times (astrologers), or an enchanter (such as an enchanter of weapons), or a witch (a Shaman), or a charmer (a maker of magic charms, talismans and amulets), or a consulter with familiar spirits (a medium), or a wizard (a ceremonial magician), or a necromancer (a Spiritualist). For all that do these things are an abomination” as such practices involved 107

the invocation of fallen angels or the application of knowledge directly derived therefrom (typically by an Overshadowed individual) who are even now as I write these words in active rebellion against God, as was also the case when this statement was first made thousands of years ago. The rebellion begun in heaven continues this day on earth. Join them and you join in the angel’s rebellion against God. He shall destroy all martialed forces which opposeth Him at His coming. Make no mistake about it! Magic practices were common in the 3rd-7th Centuries C.E. in the Jewish communities of Babylonia contemporaneously with and in the same communities which created the Babylonian Talmud (See Dan Levine, “Rare Magic Inscription on Human Skull,” BAR, March/April 2009 and Hershel Shanks, “Magic Incantation Bowls” [known as Babylonian Devil traps] BAR, January/February 2007). It must also be noted the composition of books on magic including The Great Grimoire of Pope Honorious III (a mediaeval magic manuscript [Sloane MS 313] once in the possession of British Spiritualist alchemist/ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee, and which was, in the words of Sufi philosopher/ritual magician Idries Shah: “…considered among writers on the occult, both modern and ancient, to be the most diabolical work of black magic which has appeared in written form, at any time…”) and The Enchiridion of Pope Leo are purported to have been authored by popes of the Roman Catholic Church, although as detractors point out these claims have not been substantiated. Though unsubstantiated, there remains the fact that in Europe in medaeval times before the advent of the printing press the people able to perform such tasks as the composition and copying of books were cloistered in Roman Catholic monasteries must also at this time be noted, as public education was at the time virtually non-existent. Monks and priests employed as copyists were akin to ancient Egyptian scribes/scriveners. (Notable quote: “Benedict IX, John XX, and the Sixth and Seventh, [Roman Catholic] Popes Gregory are all known in history as sorcerers and magicians.” – Isis Unveiled by H.P. Blavatsky. Rollo Ahmed in outlining the history of magic practices in his book The Black Art p.94 explains: “During the Middle Ages the Church paid as much attention to Satan as she did to the Virgin [Mary] and Son [Jesus Christ], and certainly fed the forces of darkness by increasing and trading upon the fear of the Devil and his attendant host of demons. She possessed also her trained band of excorcists, who practiced as much magic as the 108

professional caster of spells. At a time when alchemy was preoccupying the minds of men [thanks largely in fact to the Christian Crusaders including the Knights Templars and Knights Hospitalliers], the clergy were no exception to the rule, and nearly every parish priest was engaged upon alchemical experiments and sorcery in a greater or lesser degree. The state of affairs in many monasteries all over Europe was even worse.” These facts are evidenced most notably in the persons of the Roman Catholic Bishop St. Albertus Magnus and his student, Dominican priest St. Thomas Aquinas, and by Roman Catholic abbot Johannes Trithemius whose own illustrious students included the ceremonial magicians/alchemists Paracelcus and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa [Trithemius would also serve as the personal physician to Erasmus, a Renaissance humanist/Catholic priest in the vanguard of the Reformation movement]. Such Cabalistic magic practices within the Roman Catholic Church [it was those individuals involved in which who would eventually give birth to the Reformation] would reach new and dramatic heights during the Renaissance era with the ascension to the papal throne of Pope Leo X [it was Leo X who instituted the selling of indulgences in 1517 A.D. sparking the Protestant Reformation in Germany]. Pope Leo X was the son of Lorenzo de Medici whose grandfather’s Platonic Academy [a reformulation of Plato’s original Academy devoted to the study of the occult sciences and magic] gave birth to the Italian Renaissance [at which time would emerge such intellectual greats as Leonardo de Vinci, Copernicus, Giordano Bruno (Bruno would be burned at the stake by the Inquisition in 1600 A.D.), Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Galileo], eventually spreading through Europe more or less as a whole [from whence in England emerges Dr. John Dee, the Bard William Shakespeare and Sir Francis Bacon]. In total, the magicpracticing Medici family [the Medici’s being an early banking dynasty] would supply no less than four popes to the ranks of the Roman Catholic Church during the 16th to early 17th Centuries. The Renaissance, also known as the Age of Enlightenment, largely owes its birth to the introduction of magic practices both black and white [white magic practices and beliefs, also known as mageia, would come to be known as ‘Renaissance humanism,’ and later, simply, as ‘humanism’] into European courts sparking backlashes which included prosecutions by the Spanish Inquisition and the repressions of King James I. The War of the Spanish Succession [one of the main combatants of which was John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, 109

from whom is descended British P.M. Winston Churchill, a Druid by religion] would bring the Enlightenment to Spain and, ultimately, Revolution to France and the Americas) (Pertinent Quote: “All the leading philosophers of the Enlightenment were Freemasons, or members of the Illuminati…” – Sabbatai Zwi and the Illuminati) As we learn from Manly P. Hall, 50 of the 56 signatories of the Declaration of Independence were known Freemasons. Likely the rest were simply unknown members. Famous high-degree Freemasons (as previously noted, magic ceremonies are commonly performed by highdegree Freemasons) who played an important role in the foundation of America include our first American President, George Washington, as well as John Hancock, Paul Revere, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, the French revolutionary, the Marquis de Lafayette, the German/Prussian Baron Von Steuben and Richard Henry Lee, who was related to the Civil War Confederate General Robert E. Lee (one of the most famous of Freemasonic documents, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry would be authored by 33° Freemason and Civil War Confederate General Albert Pike circa 1871 A.D. (Pike is yet another example of a practitioner of magic with a martial background. Pike, a learned Kabbalist, was charged with fomenting Indian uprisings against Union army forces and no doubt he had become familiarized with their Shamanic practices as well. Concerning Scottish Rite Masons such as Albert Pike: “Scottish Rite lodges, sources of so many modern revolutions [or as in Pike’s case, armed rebellions], are more militant, more open and apparently more virulent than some of the others whom they are leading into a single world-organisation [read: a New World Order/globalization] by gradual steps.” - Philip II by William Thomas Walsh, 1937 A.D.). Confederate officers such as Albert Pike were an essential ingredient of the secret society known as the Ku Klux Klan (founded 1865 A.D.), a group whose leader is known as the Grand Wizard, in essence, a pagan high-priest. A wizard is by definition a practioner of magic, a male witch. In fact, in 1869 A.D. the magicpracticing high-degree Freemason/Kabbalist and chief of Confederate Intelligence Albert Pike himself became one of the leading Knights [Chief Judiciary Officer] of the Ku Klux Klan itself). And Pike, like so many practitioners of magic before him had fancied himself a poet—numerous examples of his poetical works exist. Concerning Pike’s Morals and Dogma masterwork, high degree Freemason J.D. 110

Buck notes in the Preface to the 2nd Edition of his book Mystic Masonry (1925 A.D.): “Pike…drew very largely, in many places (even to the point of plagiarism), from the writings of Abbe Constant, better known as Eliphas Levi…” Evidently, as Buck so helpfully notes, the Freemasonic Bible itself is largely predicated on the writings of a master ceremonial magician who was later to become one of the leading adept members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Tubal-Cain, a Cainite (a descendent of Cain, the son of Azazel by Eve), was known as the ‘father of witchcraft and sorcery’ (the smith Tubal-Cain is “that Tubal which showed…the inhabiters of the earth to make graven images and to worship them.” - The Biblical Antiquities Chapter 2). His name, Tubal-Cain, is a Freemasonic password (Blue Lodge Master Mason, 3°). (Notable Freemasonic Quote: “TubalCain…is the Vulcan of Greek mythology [a god who represented the fallen angel Azazel]…” - The Arcane Schools Chapter 2 by John Yarker; and again, S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p.77 states that due to what he calls “a continual change in the myths” dating back to “the most ancient times,” “Vulcan, god of fire, is become Tobalcain the smith” (who is mentioned in Genesis 4:22). And as noted in Witchcraft in England, smiths were also often notorious practitioners of magic and for this very reason the smithcreated horsehoe is employed as a magical good luck charm by many. Smithing, as explained in The Book of Enoch, was an art introduced by the fallen angels and it is the metal-working smith who is the fashioner of swords and molded arrowheads, maces, armor and even later, gun barrels and cannon, ships, tanks and airplanes, all the tools of the warrior’s trade). Magic, which includes the invocation of fallen angels, is likewise practiced amongst members of the Bohemian Club at the Bohemian Grove in California, members of which include many modern-day famous political and corporate elites. Doubtless many have Freemasonic backgrounds. Possible high-placed players of the modern Theosophical Movement? You make the call. One should think the Theosophical Movement circa 2013 A.D. to have progressed to include an organized collection of more worldly, more august, more outwardly secular economic-based organizations and corporations of high strategic value and import. Many ancient “myths” contain kernels of truth. Such legends abound by which rulers and priests sought to prove and justify the 111

worthiness of their ability to rule by fabricating stories of trips to the underworld where the incarnate angel Azazel, the original Magic Man himself, and his angels, are entrapped. Lucian of Samosota, in his work Menippus (The Descent into Hades) 6-9, speaks of going to Babylon to meet one of the many Magi whom he described as being disciples and successors of Zoroaster (“Schools of the Magi were established at Babylon, and as magic was deemed an essential item in the art of governing the nation, and conducting armies to victory, even Kings, Statesmen, and warriors, no less than the Sons of the Nobles and wealthy Citizens, resorted to these famous seminaries of occult learning, or sat at the feet of the Magi to drink in the elements of their profound wisdom.” - Art Magic) as Lucian “had heard that with certain (magic) charms and (magic) ceremonials they could open the gates of Hades (this explains the importance of the ‘key’ as a type of magic charm, it representing the key which opened the very gates of Hades), taking down in safety anyone they would and guiding him back again (likely this also helps to explain the subterranean nature of many pagan temples which were designed to represent the Underworld).” Now one must remember that Hades represented the place within the earth where Azazel and his angels were entrapped within their wholly impervious cherubim, quite possibly miles beneath Earth’s surface (the Earth’s continental crust ranges in thickness from 30-50km/20-30 miles thick) below many thousands of tons of burning sand, so this was quite an extraordinary claim, and a completely false one at that (perhaps Plutarch provides a clue to Dudael’s chthonic depths: “Osiris [Azazel’s cherub] really dwells in the earth and under the earth…But he indeed is at the furthest possible distance from [the surface of] the earth.” – De Iside LVIII). This service they did, however, offer for a fee, and in this way did the Magi separate the pious fools from their gold, for as the saying goes, many are the (magic)wand-bearers, but few the initiates (and to quote the famous confidence show-man P.T. Barnum: “There’s a sucker born every minute.”). Theosophical Society-member William Q. Judge, writing in 1890 A.D., shades of the scam of the Babylonian Magi, states: “There is a world of beings known to the Indians (the inhabitants of India) as that of the Devas (the Devas represent the rebellious fallen angels imprisoned within the Underworld)…Into this world the purest theosophist (a practitioner of magic in the Zoroastrian tradition), the most spiritual man or woman, may go without consent…they (the Devas) are every now and then awakened or perceived by those who, 112

while completely ignorant on these subjects, still persist in dabbling with (magic) charms and necromantic (read: magical/Spiritualist) practices.” Judge was attempting (as he explains in 1892 A.D.) to remove superstitious elements from traditional Magic practices, bringing this field into alignment with emerging scientific reasonings in and I quote, “a science called Gupta-Vidya” which translates as ‘Secret oral traditions.’ And indeed it is a science, the secret oral traditions of Kabbala as revealed by fallen angels has progressed to the realm today of the modern physicist and chemist (for more information see The Knowledge of Wisdom by John of the Gentiles). The sale of magic charms by fear-mongering magicians proffered as protection against supernatural evil influences has fleeced so very many coins from the pockets of the superstitious populous (for instance, it was taught the demon goddess Lilith would lie in wait for children and would kill them in the night if she found them unprotected by a magician’s magical amulet and such amulets were oft times offered as protection from the dreaded Evil Eye as well as from the malignant magical practices of malevolent Mediaeval witches). Love-charms and love-potions were also big moneymakers. As R. Campbell Thompson explains in Semitic Magic: Its Origins and Development (1908 A.D.), a magician has always traditionally: “…had a certain stock-in-trade of tricks which were a steady source of revenue. Lovesick youths and maidens always hoped for some result from his philtres (potions) or love-charms (such love-charms frequently “were made for the girls who were not sought in marriage”); at the demand of jealousy, he was ever ready to put hatred between husband and wife (as Thompson explains: “Love-philtres and charms for hatred [“to put hatred between the members of a family”] are frequent in the magical books”); and for such as had not the pluck or skill even to use a dagger on a dark night, his little effigies, pierced with pins, would bring death to a rival. He was at once a physician and wonder-worker for such as would pay him fee.” As we also additionally learn therefrom: “Escape from prison was to be obtained from charms,” and considering that with the aid of a charm one could “dry up a river,” no doubt the magician was skilled in such a manner that for just the right price he could craft such a charm to fill any demand for any cash paying customer. Magic is quite the lucrative business in our own enlightened scientific times garnering profits in the billions even today. Including medical magic and magic in all of its manufactured forms, magic is America’s main economic driver (another being the professions of the money113

changers—banks and foreign exchanges. Banks and their foreign exchange [Forex/FX] operations are the modern version of the ancient temple money changers whose tables Jesus overturned in the Temple as related in John 2:13-15 [Historically speaking, temples like their cousins the banks were institutions where much wealth was accumulated and stored, they performing many of the functions that banks do today. A good example is the Roman Catholic Church as is evidenced by its Vatican Bank]. In fact: “In ancient times, the coinage of money was conducted and controlled by the priesthoods in obedience to their god [and often bearing the likeness of their god as well].” – Our Occulted History by Jim Marrs. This is the reason the U.S. Treasury Building is modeled upon a classical Greek temple in Greek Revival style). The Magi, from whence comes our word ‘magician,’ employed magical charms and performed ritual magic ceremonies, practiced the invocation of and communicated with spirits/angels and were considered to be Gnostics (the word ‘Mason’ is a cognate of the word ‘magic,’ both cognates of the Roman word ‘manes’ and the Greek word ‘mani’ who were the rebellious fallen angels with whom such practitioners sought to communicate). It was such Magi (the three kings/three wise men of The Bible were Zoroastrian Magi [Masons]) who saw the ‘star’ (a cherub) in their eastern homeland of Persia which directed them to visit Jesus in a manger in Bethlehem as related in Matthew 2:1-2. The donning of exotic costumes by the Magi was practiced with the express intent that one should look like the phantoms who represented the jinn (as if they could be so easily fooled), the jinn being Azazel and his imprisoned angels, whom they had ritually invoked, that in this way through the use of such a disguise they might travel safely to and fro our place to theirs. From this practice comes the tradition of wearing costumes at Halloween. The Zoroastrian priests professed that they could open the very gates of Hades (no doubt by employing a key-shaped magical charm), descending and ascending at will through their use of ceremonial magic and religious rituals including animal and human sacrifices offered in propitiation to the nefarious fallen angels. Masks are often worn today during Satanic rituals, magic rituals which likewise include animal and human sacrifices. Halloween is a popular Satanic holiday. To the Zoroastrian Magi, fire was sacred and this belief accounts for the Yule fires (made of Yule logs) and Beltane bonfires (a word derived from the bone fires of their sacrificial animals/humans) 114

and the like. According to the Genesis Rabbah (The Bereshith), Nimrod, like the Zoroastrian Magi, worshipped fire. In Homily IX of The Clementine Homilies Chapter V Clement states that: “Therefore the magician Nebrod (the Greeks and Egyptians knew Nimrod as Nebrod. In the Septuagint version of The Bible, the name ‘Nimrod’ is rendered as ‘Nebrod’), being destroyed by this lightning falling on earth from heaven, for this circumstance had his name changed to Zoroaster, on account of the living stream of the star (read: cherub) being poured upon him (Nimrod was killed by an angel in a cherub, albeit by an angel of the non-rebellious type). But the unintelligent amongst the men who then were, thinking that through the love of God his soul had been sent for by lightning, buried the remains of his body, and honored his burial-place with a temple among the Persians, where the descent of the fire occurred, and worshipped him (Nimrod) as a god.” In Chapter VI Clement continues: “Him (Nebrod/Nimrod) the Greeks have called Zoroaster,” and hence the name Zoroastrian. Nimrod was the builder of the Biblical tower of Babel, and was himself a magician as well as a Mason. In Pseudo-Clementine Book IV Chapter XXVIII it is related how after Nimrod’s death “foolish men…extolled him…raising a sepulcher to his honor, they went so far as to adore him as a friend of God, and one who had been removed to heaven in a chariot of lightning (a cherub), and to worship him as if he were a living star. Hence also his name was called Zoroaster after his death—that is, living star.” It must be noted the work entitled The Oracles of Zoroaster and attributed to Zoroaster (Nimrod) himself speak of the sacred (read: magic) rites employed in the conjuration of divine beings, these divine beings being, of course, the rebellious fallen angels. Beltane, a Druidic festival centered upon the imprisonment of the angels in their subterranean prisons is derived from this Zoroastrian belief system (the word ‘Druid’ is a cognate of the word ‘Duidain,’ the place where Azazel was said to be imprisoned within the earth). Our modern-day Halloween (the Celtic New Year) is derived from Beltane festivities. Witches and their black magic practices are mainstay Halloween symbols. The 20th Chapter of the 2nd Book of The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage states that the basis of many magical beliefs was that the fallen angels have been made subject by God to mankind. This fact is the origin of the belief that fallen angels (demons) can be magically summoned to serve a human master: 115

“Consider that it is the pride of the Demon (read: rebellious fallen angel) which hath chased him out of Heaven, and think what a heartbreaking thing it is for him to see a Man, made of vile earth, command him who is a Spirit, and who was created noble, and an Angel (as well) (note the synonymous use of the words ‘demon,’ ‘spirit’ and ‘angel’ in reference to fallen angels); and also that it is necessary that he should submit himself unto Man, and obey him, not of his own free will, but by force, and by a power of command which God hath given unto Man, to whom he is forced to humiliate himself, and to obey, he who had the greatest difficulty in submitting himself unto his Creator (God). And yet, notwithstanding all this, he is obliged by his most profound humiliation, and by his most severe suffering, to submit himself unto Man, for whom further is destined that Heaven which he himself hath lost for an Eternity.” If the rebel angels would not heed the commands of God Himself, why should a simple human being believe angels will obey him? Such is the realm of the megalomaniac. God abhors such magical practices: “Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God…And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people…A man also or woman (a witch) that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.” - Leviticus 19:31,20:6,27 KJV And again: “There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire (from which is derived the ritual use of Yule/Beltane fires), or that useth divination, or an observer of times (an astrologer), or an enchanter (such as an enchanter of weapons), or a witch, or a charmer (a user of magical charms or amulets), or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard (such as a ceremonial magician), or a necromancer (such as a Spiritist/Spiritualist, performers of sѐances/mediums. As Rollo Ahmed writes in The Black Art: “Necromancy is the practice of calling up the 116

spirits…Necromancers of the past were looked upon with fear and loathing, as their art seemed the most ghastly of all the categories of black magic…Both witches and necromancers of the past were frequently nothing more than mediums as we know them today.”**). For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them (the populations of the magic-practicing nations whose lands the Israelis were to dispossess) out from before thee.” - Deuteronomy 18:10-12 KJV (See also Isaiah 8:19 and Revelation 21:6-8). God makes no such distinction between white or black or grey magic as such but condemns this practice in all of its forms (**Pertinent Quote: “…modern occultism…has accomplished little beyond the coining of a number of new terms. Sorcery, I think, covers them all. Father Henry Day, S.J., speaking at Manchester, advanced a similar opinion, but classed all magic as Black, when he said: ‘The Church condemns the new form of modern spiritism as she condemned the old superstitions. They are identical with devil-worship, with black magic, with the necromancy of the past.** Whatever may be said of the pretensions of the spiritism of the day, the Church regards it as the continuation of Satan’s revolt against God.’” – p.8 The Romance of Sorcery, 1914 A.D. [** “Spiritism stretching forward in one unbroken chain of influence from ancient to modern times, has never ceased to exist…” - Art Magic]. Again. There is nothing new under the sun).

In the Preface to King James’ book entitled Daemonologie we learn James (of King James Bible/KJV fame) was well learned in all matters philosophical, being well read of the works of ancient writers, being fully immersed in the study of comparative religions and mythologies. As such he would have certainly been aware of the presence of the fallen angels and of the magic systems they inspired, which sought to conjure these angels (James therein specifically makes mention of the writings of the ceremonial magician Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa [“Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim was born in Cologne (Germany) in 1486…He was first a soldier, and followed the armies of the Emperor Maximillian (of the Holy Roman Empire). He was knighted, studied law, medicine, and languages. As professor in Hebrew at Dole, in France (Agrippa was Jewish and well versed in Kabalah), he publicly expounded Reuchlin’s work on the Miraculous Word (the German Cabalist scholar Reuchlin penned a book on the subject of magic entitled De Arte Cabalistica [which translates as The Cabalistic Art, aka the ‘Bible of Christian Cabalists’] in defense of Cabalistic practices). Then the (Roman Catholic) monks persecuted him, and he came to London (England) and lectured there.” – Jewish Mystics, An Appreciation, Hirsch]). Many practitioners of magic under its many guises attempted to and well succeeded in attempts to make contact with the earth-bound fallen angels. King James defends his 117

institution of the execution of witches saying the “assaults of Satan are most certainly practiced and that the instruments thereof (i.e. witches), merits most severely to be punished,” he putting into actual practice the exhortation found in Exodus 22:18 of his own King James Version of The Bible quite literally: “Thou shalt not suffer (allow) a witch to live.” See also The Realness of Witchcraft in America (by A. Monroe Aurand, Jr., 1942 A.D.) which agrees with this author’s conclusion when it states: “‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live,’ (Exodus 22:18) was made the basis of the persecution of witches, with all its horrors.” At any rate, England retained anti-witchcraft laws (called Witchcraft Acts) upon its books in one form or another often mandating the death or imprisonment as well as the confiscation of properties of the offender from the year 1542 A.D. until their ultimate repeal in 1951 A.D.). No doubt Agrippa, a Jewish Kabalist, contributed greatly to the proliferation of the magic practices King James so piously sought to suppress. Indeed, according to Gerald B. Gardner, European witches of the Middle Ages (as was also the case with individuals such as the Italian Cabalist Pico della Mirandola) learned to practice magic from Jewish Kabalists: “During the Middle Ages many learned Christians, notably Pico della Mirandola studied the Jewish Qabalah,** ostensibly ‘to bring about the conversion of the Jews;’ but actually to gain knowledge of its magical practices, which they then proceeded to give a Christian veneer to, so that later grimoires not only use the Hebrew Qabalistic Names of God and of the archangels to constrain the spirits, but also the names of Jesus, Mary, and the Apostles (applying such a Christian veneer to magic makes it no less an affront to God). The Wica*** seem to have been taught certain beliefs, most probably by the Kabalists, which they have incorporated into their own.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D. (** Pertinent Quote: “Qabalah is theory and philosophy… Magic is the practical application of that theory.” - The Art and Meaning of Magic by Israel Regardie) (***“Wica, meaning ‘The Wise Ones.’” - Gerald Gardner, Witch, 1960 A.D.)

Simon Magus, who is mentioned in Acts 8:9-24, was known as Simon the Zealot, commander of the Hebrew freedom fighters who advocated war against Roman rule in the 1 st Century A.D. which resulted in the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (Albert Pike in Morals and Dogma identifies Simon Magus as being the founder of Gnosticism and indeed, Hippolytus before him identified various other of the Gnostic creeds as simply being the teachings of Simon Magus under different appellations. In fact, these Simonians as they are 118

known were a Gnostic sect whose teachings, known as Simonianism, regarded Simon Magus as its founder and traced its doctrines back to him. Gnosticism itself was greatly influenced by Jewish Kabalism and the teachings of the Magi and is as well akin to Christian Cabalism). By definition, ‘Magus’ means: 1. Zoroastrian priest: in the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, a priest 2. man with magical powers: especially in ancient times, a man with supernatural or magical powers (Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 19982005 Microsoft Corporation). (In King James’ Daemonologie James states: “…it is most true indeed, that all these wise (wicca) men of Pharaoh were Magicians of art: As likewise it appears well that the Pythoness (a ‘wicce’; a witch who summoned Typhon/Azazel. From ‘wicce’ comes the word ‘Wicca.’ wicca [masculine]/wicce [feminine]** The Bible often uses the word ‘wicked’ to denote a practitioner of magic, and hence the term ‘wicked witch’), with whom Saul consulted (the witch being, by definition, a Spiritualist who practiced necromancy. See 1Samuel 28:7-9), was of that same profession: & so was Simon Magus.” - King James’ Daemonologie Book II Chapter I, 1597 A.D). (** As Gerald B. Gardner explains in Witchcraft Today: “The modern popular idea that a witch was always a hideous spiteful old hag is entirely erroneous. There were almost as many male witches as female; witches sat on the Councils of Kings and took part in the affairs of state; they wielded power, often with great ability, and were sometimes the actual rulers of the realm, the power behind the throne; they were consulted by the highest in the land in matters of difficulty whether public or private.” He goes on to explain: “…there have been many cases of sorcerers employing witches; but this was as mediums when something of a spiritualistic nature was attempted, that is, trying to communicate with the spirits.” - Witchcraft Today by Gerald B. Gardner)

Apostles of Jesus also strove against practitioners of magic, even convincing a number of them as to the grave error of their ways, winning them over to God and Jesus, for as we learn that “…not a few of them (“them” being the “Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at Ephesus.” See Acts 19:18 ASV) that practiced magical arts brought their books (grimoires) together and burned them in the sight of all (at the instigation of the evangelist apostle Paul); and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.” - Acts 19:19 ASV. This was no insubstantial amount of money; it was certainly indicative of the popularity of magical practices involving the invocation of the rebel angel Azazel (at times involving actual communication with this angel) in the 1st Century A.D. Roman period at Ephesus in Anatolia at a time when Ephesus boasted a population of 250,000 inhabitants, a city only second to Rome in size and importance in all of the great 119

Roman Empire! I mention this that one might know the encompassing influence of magic on all world religions—in fact the Biblical Daniel himself held the office of what basically amounts to ‘Master of the Magicians, Astrologers, Chaldeans, and Soothsayers’ (See Daniel 4:89 and Daniel 5:11-12) and not through a lack of knowledge of the art (this is not to say he conjured fallen angels. He was put in this position because he excelled over these magicians in prophecy, in foreseeing the future, thanks be to God. The prophet Samuel was also considered to be a ‘seer’ (See 1Samuel 9:11-19, though I don’t believe this to be the best translation of the word. I believe it also pertained to his ability to prophecy, also thanks be to God, as well as to the fact God himself was in actual communication with Samuel). And as we learn from Acts 7:22: “Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians,” besting all of the Egyptian “wise men and the sorcerers” in magical contest, indeed he bested all of the “magicians of Egypt,” thanks again be to God, as Moses was likewise in direct communication with Him (See Exodus 7:7-12. Early physicians such as Luke [See Colossians 4:14] the disciple of Jesus were also thusly magically inclined [though Luke would abandon this profession to become a devotee of Jesus. As noted in Secret Sects of Syria and the Lebanon p.93: “A select class of the Essenes were termed Therapeutia or healers (As Manly P. Hall explains: “The names Essenes is supposed to be derived from an ancient Syrian word meaning ‘physician.’” – The Secret Teachings of All Ages)… Apparently there were branches of the Essenes and especially of the Therapeute, who became actual Christians…” (according to A. E. Waite in The Secret Tradition: “…the Essenes…are actually that hidden sodality from which Masonry derives through the Knights Templar” crusaders who had worked closely with the Knights Hospitallier group which operated medical facilities in the Holy Land)]. The fact that early physicians were magically inclined is particularly evidenced by the Renaissance physician/ceremonial magician Paracelsus, a practioner of the Hermetic arts. As occult author Rollo Ahmed notes in The Black Art: “…the prescriptions of the physicians of the Middle Ages (such as the physician Paracelsus, author of: “some of the greatest works on magic in existence”)…read so exactly like a witch’s potion that if we were asked which was the magical formula and which the doctor’s compound it would be impossible to tell.” In fact, the magical use of herbs, which is to say, ‘natural magic,’ gave birth to modern medicine [from Latin medicus, “a physician.” For this reason a magic-practicing 120

Native American Shaman is known as a “medicine-man,” and such early practices were additionally known as ‘medical magic.’ The following selection is an example of the bridge between ancient ‘natural magic’/‘medical magic’ and modern-day medicine: “Curare, the infamous plant poison traditionally used on (Shaman-prepared poisoned) arrows and darts, acts as a muscle relaxant, causing eventual asphyxiation (leading to death). Curare’s main component, Dtubocurarine, works so well as a muscle relaxant that it now appears in various anaesthetics used in conventional surgery (by modern-day physicians).” – p.272 The Encyclopedia of Witches, Witchcraft and Wicca]. Another example is the medicinal use of the mandrake plant: “The Mandrake…was extensively used in black magic of all kinds... From the Mandrake, mandragonia** is obtained—a powerful narcotic used by the old Greeks as an anesthetic.” - The Black Art p.112 by Rollo Ahmed, 1936 A.D. [** also known by its genus name mandragora, the following selection highlights its sleep-inducing anesthetic medicinal properties: “...Not poppy, nor mandragora/Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,/Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep/Which thou owedst yesterday.” – Othello III.iii by William Shakespeare, 1565 A.D.]. An ‘apothecary’ is by definition one who dispenses medicine to a physician, and quite often the two were one and the very same, hence the proverb, “Physician, heal thyself.” See Luke 4:23). One notable example of a school of ‘medical magic’ is Britain’s Royal College of Physicians as championed by Thomas Linacre [Linacre had been schooled in various aspects of magic amongst the Medici family in Florence] and established by Royal Charter by decree of King Henry VIII [father of Queen Elizabeth I] in 1518 A.D. which instituted the formal training of apothecaries and physicians in England [including Rosicrucian magic adepts such as Robert Fludd (See p.273 The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross)]. There also existed in London the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries [founded 1617 A.D.] as championed by the ceremonial magician Sir Hans Sloane which had operated the Chelsea Physic Garden [established 1673 A.D.] for the cultivation of plants useful in the medicinal magic potions and elixirs which it had manufactured and sold, located on Cheyne Walk in the very witchy Chelsea area of London which still exists to this day.

Remains of The Book of Enoch (1Enoch) were found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls associated with the Qumran commune of the Essenes (amongst whom was included a faction of Therapeute) in Israel, a group in existence in Jesus’ own day. In fact we know: “The Essenes and healing Therapeutes were followers of the ancient theurgic (ceremonial magic) Mysteries.” – The Masters of Wisdom by A.E. Adams, 1890 A.D. This explains the magic spells found amongst the Dead Sea scrolls near Qumran. It would seem Jesus’ disciple Luke the ‘physician’ was one such Therapeutic adept before his subsequent conversion. As occultist Gerald Massey explains: “The Essenes were Christians in the Gnostic sense, and according to Pliny the elder, they were a Hermetic Society that had existed for ages on ages of time. 121

Their name is best explained as Egyptian. They were known as the Eshai, the healers or Therapeutae, the physicians in Egypt; and Esha or Usha means to doctor or heal, in Egyptian.” – Logia of the Lord by Gerald Massey (As noted in Secret Sects of Syria and the Lebanon p.95: “Their [the Essene’s] connection with the Therapeutae of Egypt is usually recognized, and Pliny speaks of their colony near the Dead Sea.”). These practices were also akin to traditional

Babylonian magic practices as encountered by Jews during their Babylonian Dispersion—known as ‘Asu’ (compare ‘Asu’ to ‘Usha’), such individuals were physicians/herbalists. Concerning such Babylonian ‘medical magic’ practices: “There are two major types of (Babylonian) therapeutic practitioners: the ashipu, the exorcist or magician, and the asu, the physician or herbalist. In the traditional texts that preserve the lore of the physician, descriptions of symptoms are followed by instructions for preparing and administering medications. The material medica consist in the main of plant and animal substances and some minerals. The physician employs potions, bandages, lotions, suppositories, enemas, etc. The asu’s job is that of the practical physician.” - Mesopotamian Witchcraft by Tzvi Abusch. As Rollo Ahmed, a ceremonial magician schooled in the Egyptian arts, similarly notes in his book The Black Art (1936 A.D.), it being a treatise on the history of magic, the “physicians…were also practitioners of magic.” As Margaret Alice Murray herself explains in The God of the Witches (1933 A.D.): “Many of the magical charms and spells were for the healing of the sick or for the prevention of disease... Many charms and spells surviving to the present day contain the names of pre-Christian gods (all representing the angel Azazel who was known as the god of healing). These spells are usually connected with cures for diseases in human beings and animals…” As Christine Hole explains: “The white witch, or wiseman, was the protector of the community, as his criminal opponent (the black magic practicing witch) was its enemy. Like the black witch, he relied on magic, but he used it principally for benevolent purposes, to cure diseases, to defeat spells, detect thieves or find stolen goods, and to protect his neighbors from every kind of ill… he was often able to cure simple ailments by the use of herbs and commons sense, garnished with charms… he had to have some acquaintance with practical psychology and herbal remedies, and he often had real medical and veterinary knowledge… Most cures were semi-magical. Drugs and herbal medicines were used, but the herbs had to be gathered with prescribed ceremonies at certain phases of the moon and prepared with secret rites and incantation.” – Witchcraft in 122

As noted in Art Magic: “One of the chief duties of the Egyptian priesthood was the cure of the sick, and for this purpose the Initiates were instructed in the simple arts of medicine…” In the Western world, these duties in time would become highly specialized and largely shorn of their mystical trappings. England, 1947 A.D.

Many of the ‘pre-Christian gods’ representing Azazel were gods associated with healing. The Sumerians worshipped Azazel as Ninazu (nin means ‘lord’ and Azu is a variant spelling of Asu), the god of healing and of the underworld. Azazel was also known as Aesculapius, the Roman god of medicine, as well as the Greek and Phoenician god of healing often depicted wielding what is known as the Staff of Aesculapius. Various modern day medical organizations adopted the Staff of Aesculapius as its medical insignia, the staff itself consisting of an axial rod with a single winged serpent entwined round about it. The U.S. Army Medical Corp has the Staff of Aesculapius as its insignia. The winged staff/serpent symbolism was also employed in the symbol of the Caduceus of Hermes (Azazel). Enki’s emblem (Enki also represented Azazel) was two entwined serpents and was the symbol of his ‘cult center’ at Eridu, the same symbol employed by the medical profession. This symbolism is also reminiscent of the Sumerian Underworld god of healing, Ningishzida, whose symbol was two snakes entwined around a central axial rod called the Rod of Ningishzida which is the symbol adopted by the great guild of physicians in England (as it may be helpful to note, one of the many Egyptian titles for Azazel was “the two-headed serpent” [See the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXXI]. The satyrs which represented fallen angels themselves were said to have carried a similar instrument known as a thyrsus, also known as the Rod of Dionysus, a stick [magic wand] wound round with ivy and tipped with a pine cone). The Sidonian god of healing, Eshmun, was also depicted holding a serpent entwined staff in his right hand. All of the afforementioned healing ‘gods’ represent the angel Azazel who himself holds the title of Chief Physician. In fact, Azazel was what was known as a ‘rapha’ (as was the angel Raphael), a surgeon, a member of the medical profession (compare ‘rapha’ to the cognate ‘pharma,’ the root of the words ‘pharmacy’ and ‘pharmaceutical’). The Book of Enoch lists medical practices (including abortion—an abortion as noted on p.23 of Blood on the Altar is considered to be a sacrifice to the pagan god Molech [who is Azazel]) as being amongst 123

the secrets which were revealed to mankind by Azazel’s group of fallen angels. To truly understand the vast extent and widespread use of magic in nearly every ancient civilization’s religious belief system including Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Roman, etc, one should read Amulets and Superstitions by Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge, onetime ‘Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities’ in the British Museum. In addition, philosopher Manly P. Hall in his book, America’s Assignment with Destiny (1951 A.D.) unequivocally states: “All the aboriginal tribes of North America practiced mystical and magical rites.” This was true also of the tribes in South America, such as the Aztecs, who derive their name from that of the angel Azazel. It is also true of European tribes such as the Celts. Magic practices and beliefs are experiencing a renaissance in the world we live in today, with Pagan Reconstructionist movements including the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Wicca itself playing a prominent role. William J. Schnoebelen in The Dark Side of Freemasonry states: “Kabbalism is a system of Jewish mysticism and magic and is the foundational element in modern witchcraft. Virtually all of the great witches and sorcerers of this (the 20th) century were Kabbalists.” This agrees with what we learn from www.novelguide.com: “During the nineteenth century a revival of magic—based in large part upon the Kabala and the identification of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet (as explained in the Sephira Yetzira, another Kabalistic mainstay) with the tarot (also known as the Book of Thoth. The Egyptian god Thoth was the Greek god Hermes, from whom such Hermetic Orders/Societies such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn derive their names)—occurred in France, primarily around Éliphas Lévi. From Lévi a new appreciation of the Kabala passed to the magicians of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and through it to Aleister Crowley, a dominant practitioner of magic in the twentieth century. It would be difficult to think of modern magic without the Kabala and its related practices of gematria and path workings.” (Notable quote: “It must be understood clearly that witchcraft is a religion. Its patron god is the Horned God of…magic.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D. And Azazel is indeed that Horned God, for as Wiccan high-priestess Patricia Crowther notes in the magical invocation to be found in Lid Off the Cauldron p.58, the Horned God of the witches to whom they dedicate themselves is none 124

other than the “God” of the “Underworld,” this being in reference of course to the fallen angel Azazel who is entrapped within the earth) Stage Magic, in days prior known as Legerdemain, such as that art most famously practiced by the celebrated Hungarian-born Jewishimmigrant illusionist/escape artist Harry Houdini (real name: Ehrich Weiss/Erik Weisz, son of the Jewish Rabbi [and Kabalist] Mayer Samuel Weiss [1829–1892 A.D. Houdini’s mother, like Rudolf Steiner, was a member of the Steiner family from Austria-Hungary though I have been unable to ascertain whether they were in fact related]. Houdini was National President [1917-1926 A.D.] of the Society of American Magicians [SAM], the oldest fraternal magic organization in the world [the world’s largest magic society is the International Magicians Society. In association with the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the SAM is still in existence today]) as well as your garden variety staple of children’s birthday party rabbitpulled-out-of-a-hat routine is also rooted in the practice of goeteia and mageia (ala parallel universes, also known as inner planes, the latest manifestation of which can be found in a system called Quantum Jumping, which in my opinion is the equivalent of what Kenneth Grant terms Jumping the Abyss, a jump through ‘superspace’ involving worm-holes/black holes (yes, physics = magic), and which, I must say, is akin to the Vaulters/Leapers of the Chicago occultist/OTO-leader Michael Bertiaux. Bertiaux was himself a close associate of Crowleyinitiate Kenneth Grant [Michael Bertiaux is the leader of the Ordo Templi Orientis Antiqua (OTOA); Bertiaux served for a time as a secretary for the Theosophical Society in Wheaton, IL and has also headed the Choronzon Club in Chicago (originally founded 1928 A.D. by Crowley-initiate/Navy vet Cecil Frederick Russell [C.F. Russell was an attendee of Crowley’s Abbey of Thelema during the early 1920s (See p.177 The Rebirth of Magic)], which changed its name in 1931 A.D. to the Great Brotherhood of God in which order Ray Burlingame, who would later become a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO Agape Lodge, had been a member [C.F. Russell was also the mentor of OTO Agape Lodge-member Louis T. Culling who was at one point in time in personal correspondence with Aleister Crowley himself]; the Choronzon Club was strictly dedicated to the practice of X° OTO male homosexual sex-magic rituals**)] For more information see The Complete Magick Curriculum of the Secret Order G:.B:.G:. released in 1969 A.D. and leading to a resurgence of activity within the order) as 125

authored by a professional astrologer named Louis T. Culling [Culling was a ‘friend’ of Israel Regardie as well (See p.511 The Eye in the Triangle by Israel Regardie)] which has as its stated purpose ‘Union’ with the occult ‘Holy Guardian Angel’ who is Azazel. The Choronzon Club employs the ‘Upright Pentagram,’ the sign of Azazel, as its symbol [See Appendix A]). (** Such rituals have a long storied history. Concerning ancient homosexual sex-magic practices: “Religious sodomy was practiced by male prostitutes in the Hebrew temple groves, which was one of the abominations of Israel which Josiah cleared away. We are told in the 23 rd chapter of 2Kings that Josiah broke down their houses which were near the temple, and drove the Sodomite [ancient homosexual sex-magic practitioners] out, burning their groves and scattering the ashes on the graves of the people [such abhorrent rites were likewise performed in the city of Sodom for which prohibited homosexual sex-magic practices God had previously destroyed (See Genesis Chapter 19)]. At the same time he ‘put away’ all the wizards and workers with familiar spirits, and destroyed the idols and images, filling up the site of the groves with the bodies of the dead. This custom of sacred male prostitution was not confined to the Israelites, and its counterparts can be found in nearly all the ancient religions of the East. In Egypt and Assyria it appears to have been customary to make eunuchs expressly for this purpose.” – The Black Art p.160 by Rollo Ahmed, 1936 A.D. The Choronzon Club/Great Brotherhood of God and the X° of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn essentially resurrected the ancient Sodomite homosexual sex-magic system). The Magi themselves constituted an early version of modernday Stage Magicians: “The Magi, also, not only know that there are demons, but, moreover, whatever miracle they affect to perform, do it by means of demons; by their aspirations and communications (with said demons) they show their wondrous tricks, making either those things appear which are not, or those things not to appear which are.” - The Octavius of Minucius Felix Chapter XXVI

As we learn from Gerald B. Gardner in what is known as the Gardnerian Book of Shadows (a Book of Shadows is a magician’s own personal magic book), the stock magic wand which is oft times used as 126

a prop by stage magicians is also used during ceremonial magic practices: “…to call up and control certain angels and genie.” (Much symbolism is contained in this seemingly harmless magic act. The rabbit-pulled-out-of-the-hat represents the magician’s demonic ‘familiar,’ a rabbit also being a symbol of a number of gods representing the angel Azazel, it being yet another apt symbol for the chthonic god Azazel as rabbits are known to make their homes in briars within the earth) Another notable example where stagecraft meets ceremonial magic is the stage magician, ventriloquist, puppeteer and Freemason Arnold Crowther (1909 – 1974 A.D.) with ties to British royal family members whom he was known to entertain and who had likewise entertained Allied servicemen with his "Black Magic" magic show during World War II (Arnold Crowther was a friend of Gerald B. Gardner. During his wartime tours Crowther had even met with Aleister Crowley to whom it is said Crowther had introduced Gerald B. Gardner in 1946 A.D. [See Lid Off the Cauldron p.26 by Patricia Crowther wherein she explains: “I was introduced to Gerald by my late husband, Arnold Crowther, who, incidently, introduced Gerald to the late Aleister Crowley in 1946.”]). In 1960 A.D., Arthur Crowther had met and married Wicca high-priestess Patricia Crowther (nѐe Dawson), a cabaret stage entertainer who had been initiated into witchcraft earlier in the year by Gerald B. Gardner himself (See Ibid p.41). She in turn then initiated her husband Arnold into the coven. One particular magic club of note dedicated to the promotion of the magical arts is The Magic Circle founded in London, England in 1905 A.D. which includes amongst its august members Charles, bonnie Prince of Wales (the Prince of Wales has traditionally under the Order of the Garter [organized as Knights of the Garter] been head [High Priest] of a coven of witches since 1348 A.D. [See Appendix A]), son of the current queen of England (a ‘magic circle,’ as must be noted, is an essential ingredient in ceremonial magic practices involving the invocation of angels/demons/spirits. The Magic Circle organization includes such a zodiacal ‘magic circle’ within its logo). Abracadabra! Alacazam! Flee from your magic as fast as you can! (Notable quote: “The magic circle is a fundamental requirement of all kinds of occult ceremonial, and one of the most ancient. The magicians of Babylonia and Assyria used magic circles in their rites… The most famous [and certainly the most grand] magical circle of the island of Britain is Stonehenge.” – Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente. Pagan 127

magic ceremonies are performed at Stonehenge even today. There also appears to be quite an impressive ‘magic circle’ [consisting of a cross within a circle, the sign of Azazel; See Appendix A] at Christ Church College at Oxford University, an old historical school of magic. Indeed: “In witchcraft, all ceremonies must take place inside a consecrated circle. Unlike the magick circle, which supposedly protects the magician from the terrible forces outside, so long as he stands inside the circle, the consecrated circle of witchcraft is meant to keep the power inside it, once it is raised by various means.” - Witchcraft p.205 by Hans Holzer. The term ‘magic circle’ as a definition has come also to include that of an associated group of practitioners of magic)

It is said Stage Magic is all smoke and mirrors, and in this regard Stage Magic was rooted in astrology (ceremonial magic and astrological practices historically go hand in hand. Astrologers were, as a rule, sorcerers [prominent examples being the renowned seer Nostradamus (1503 – 1566 A.D.) and the court astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I, the most illustrious Welsh magician Dr. John Dee (1527 – 1608/9 A.D.; Dee fell out of favor in the British royal court with the ascension of the Scottish King James I to the English throne at the death of Queen Elizabeth I, James being famously enough responsible for the creation of what has come to be called the King James Version (KJV) of The Bible]. As Indries Shah explains in The Secret Lore of Magic [1957 A.D.]: “So closely bound up with the stars is magic that the terms astrologer and magician were formerly almost synonymous.” Such a link between sorcery and astrology is illustrated in Christopher Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus [1601 A.D.] where the magician Faust was said to have conjured the devil with the aid of a magic Zodiacal circle, the Zodiac being a central theme in astrology). In the 12th Century A.D., Astrology was divided into eight discernible branches included in which was “illusions, or magic…and the science of mirrors” (which science is indeed essential to the crafting of telescopes useful for astronomical observations. Another branch of Astrology is necromancy, which is to say, Spiritualism [See Astrology, p.137, Louis MacNeice, 1964 A.D.]). The 19th Century Spiritualist/Spiritualism Movement, when magic went mainstream in the West, was originally derived from traditional magical/astrological practices already long established. As Montague Summers explains: “Camouflage it as you will, Spiritualism with its kindred superstitions, such as necromancy and occultism, is a recrudescence of the old, old practices cultivated in the days of long ago. In other words this ‘New Religion’ [such as practiced in Spiritualist churches (Unitarian, etc.), at Harvard Divinity School and within the Spiritualist circles of the Spiritualism Movement in general] is but the Old Witchcraft.” – p.256 128

The History of Witchcraft and Demonology [in The Right Angle, Geoffrey Farthing likewise speaks of: “Magic, and…its twin sister, Spiritualism” and in Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast (1987 A.D.) pp.156-157 Colin Wilson therein muses: “For most of us, the word ‘magician’ conjures up a picture of a Walt Disney character in a conical hat waving a magic wand. Yet the things that take place at ‘spiritualist sѐances’ every day are a kind of magic, and would have been recognized as such by our ancestors.” As Rollo Ahmed similarly notes: “A verse in Deuteronomy says: ‘There shall not be found among you…a consulter of familiar spirits, or a necromancer’ … If we are going to take this text seriously and literally, I think it would have to be applied equally to sorcerers of the past and modern spiritualists.” – The Black Art p.229]). At that time astrology was likewise inextricably entwined with astronomy (as well as with mathematics, which is to say, ‘mathematical magic,’ another practice important to astronomy). Famous astronomers Galileo and Johannes Kepler were known to cast horoscopes in their official capacity as astrologers for members of the ruling class all the while calculating complex mathematical equations during astronomical computations (Arthur C. Clarke in The Promise of Space [1968 A.D.] p.5 writes of Kepler: “Johannes Kepler was the first man to discover the exact laws governing the movements of the planets—the same laws which now govern the movements of spacecraft… Kepler lived in an age that still believed in magic, and indeed his own mother had been charged with witchcraft.” Magic and witchcraft is hereditary in nature, being passed down within a family from generation to generation: “Witchcraft tended to run in families, so anyone who was related by blood to a witch came under suspicion of being a witch themselves.” – p.83 The Rebirth of Witchcraft. And not unduly I might add). This is also true of the ceremonial magician: “…it is distinctly stated in the language of Cornelius Agrippa, that "a magician must be born so from his mother’s womb"…” – Art Magic, as well as the Shaman: “The calling of a shaman was generally hereditary in his family, the order being usually from maternal uncle to nephew. Before he died he revealed his (familiar) spirit to his successor…” Shamanism and Witchcraft authored by one-time American Anthropological Association president John R. Swanton. British mathematician T. H. Moody in A

Complete Refutation of Astrology (1838 A.D.) writes: “Astronomy connects the mind with the heaven; but astrology associates it with the daemons of darkness” (read: connects the mind, albeit telepathically, with the fallen angels and John Calvin [1509-1563 A.D.] has called 129

astronomy, which science had stemmed from fallen angel introduced magic-based beliefs, “a devilish superstition.” In fact, the 4th Century A.D. Christian astrologer Julius Fermicus Maternus held that “the astrologer mediates between human souls and celestial beings” thereby serving by definition as a Spiritualist medium). As a classical mathematician T. H. Moody would be in the know, seeing as how English philosopher/Franciscan friar Roger Bacon (1214 – 1294 A.D.), greatly influenced by the teachings of Aristotle, identified only two different kinds of “mathematics” in his writings, one being essential in the dispensation of magic and the other as it is employed in astrological computations—Pythagorean principles are notable examples of such. Science is rooted in magic practices and religious rituals for within their arcane allegorical teachings may be found the secret knowledge of the angels (as we learn from the physician/astrologer/occultist Freemason Ebenezer Sibly [Sibly was a member of Anton Mesmer’s Harmonic Philosophical School] in A New and Complete Illustration of the Occult Sciences Book 4 (1795 A.D.), Roger Bacon was a “very famous associate with familiar spirits, and performed many astonishing exploits through their means.”). As we learn from Sir Walter Scott in Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft (1830 A.D.), the magical art of divination (foretelling the future) was known as ars mathematica, mathematics. And finally, as related in A Compleat System of Magic (1729 A.D.) pp.1-2: “In a Word, a Magician was no more or less in the ancient Chaldean times, than a Mathematician, a Man of Science…” Exemplary of the fact science fell under the Biblical heading of magic, the divisions of which were at oft times blurred, is Adolf Hitler’s own personal astrologer Dr. W. Führer who personally cast Hitler’s horoscopes (astrology is a form of divination determined by mathematical computations, a horoscope a tool for foretelling the future)—Dr. W. Führer held the title ‘Plenipotentiary for Mathematics, Astronomy and Physics’ (See Astounding Science Fiction [May 1947]: Pseudoscience in Naziland by Willy Ley). The Mathematician of today is akin to the magician of days long past, and this maxim particularly holds true in the case of the Theoretical Mathematician. Anti-Creationism Spiritualism-based evolutionary theories notwithstanding, it is for these reasons that the Church was traditionally so often at odds with the scientific arts and those individuals involved with them, this being due to their wholly magical origins. There also exists The Fellowship of Christian Magicians 130

International, featuring Gospel Magic, the Catholic Magicians’ Guild including an annual Magician’s Mass performed on the feast day of St. Don Bosco, Patron Saint of Stage Magicians (which organizations should be categorized as Cabalistic in nature), and a Judaic counterpart, Torah Magic, one main practitioner of which is the Jewish self-styled illusionist, Arthur Kurzweil, member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians. Kurzweil interestingly enough [and which seems to highlight the association] authored a book entitled Kabballah for Dummies. And one last quick note concerning the history of stage magic, there exists a publication, a magic periodical devoted to all things Stage Magic (which is, at this time it is helpful to note, also known as Stage Conjuring), whose name is a revelation all in itself, that of the Pasadena/Los Angeles periodical (established 1936 A.D.) entitled Genii: The International Conjurer’s Magazine. The editor of the magazine was the founder of a school of magic (in the finest ceremonial magic school tradition) known as the Academy of Magical Arts (which creation in 1952 A.D. coincided with the institution of MKULTRA; Genii also published M-U-M Magazine for Stage Magician John Mulholland [See Genii History: A Retrospective by David Charvet] who was employed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb for work in MKULTRA’s Subproject 19 which concentrated on the creation of what the CIA described as a ‘Magic Manual’ for use in Intelligence operations, the result being Mulholland’s guidebook for agents, Some Operational Applications of the Art of Deception which outlined the use of the magician’s art of legerdemain including sleight of hand techniques to suit the needs of espionage and covert activities. Topics covered included the surreptitious administration of pills, liquids such as knockout drops, and gasses, mind-altering chemicals such as LSD, biological agents and poisons. The demise of Mulholland’s magazine The Sphinx in 1953 A.D. coincides with his employment therewith). The Academy of Magical Arts is an international organization headquartered (beginning in 1962 A.D.) at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA (the Magic Castle it would seem was used as a front organization for MKULTRA and as a staging area for covert CIA operations), home also to the Count Dracula Society (actor Cary Grant, a major LSD proponent who has admitted to using LSD repeatedly and this with LSD provided by OSS captain Al Hubbard administered by medically sanctioned psychiatrists, and T.V. talkshow host Johnny Carson, are amongst the ‘celebrity magic hobbyists’ 131

who have performed upon the Magic Castle’s magically enchanted stage). As one may reasonably ascertain from the magazine’s title, the periodical caters to those magicians who are conjurers of genii. The word ‘conjure’ of course is Old French for ‘to invoke,’ and the genii are fallen angels. The genii are in fact out of the bottle. John Mulholland himself had studied magic under ‘The Merry Wizard’ John William Sargent who served as President of the Society of American Magicians from 1905- 1906 A.D. and who would later serve as fellow stage magician/spy Harry Houdini’s own personal secretary from 1918 – 1920 A.D. Early on in John Mulholland’s career, from 1918 to 1924 A.D., he had held a teaching position at the Horace Mann School (an Ivy League prep school with Whig party/Young America [Carbonari] associations) located in New York City and would go on to author no less than ten books on the subject of magic. He was also for a time somewhat of a Spiritualist psychical investigator, the end result being his 1938 A.D. book entitled Beware Familiar Spirits, and a pocket-sized edition of his book entitled The Art of Illusion would hit the battlefield stuffed inside the government issued shirt pockets of World War II servicemen. During the 1950s, John Mulholland would be engaged by the CIA’s Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, America’s ‘official poisoner,’ in order to teach CIA agents sleight of hand techniques in order to “covertly administer drugs, chemicals and biological agents to unsuspecting victims.” For more information see The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception (2009 A.D.) for which book the CIA’s former Director of Central Intelligence John McLaughlin provides its Forward. As McLaughlin therein injudiciously explains: “…magic and espionage are really kindred arts… the close kinship…continues—in stealthy ways that (John) Mulholland (whom McLaughlin himself describes as “a lifelong amateur magician who spent a career in American Intelligence”) would probably admire—to this very day (amongst the greatest CIA sleight of hand deceptions is the disappearing towers trick).” So the tradition as McLaughlin notes lives on. It is said Harry Houdini himself was employed as a spy as well. Beware of the magicians— there may be more than a rabbit up their government issued sleeves. Dracula of course is fiction’s most famous vampire for whose story we owe a debt of gratitude to author/Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Bram Stoker. Concerning the subject of vampirism into which his novel delves: “The word ‘vampire’ is from the Slavonic wampyr; and since the 132

famous novel Dracula, by Bram Stoker, and the many films and plays based upon it, people usually associate the belief in vampires with the Balkan countries (where Transylvania is located). It is not generally realized that this belief was formerly just as strongly held in Britain. Nevertheless, it is the real origin of the old custom of burying the unhallowed dead at a crossroads, with a stake through the corpse’s heart. The object of this practice, which was not abolished by law (in Britain) until 1823, was to prevent the corpse becoming a vampire. Vampirism has always been associated with black magic. Those who practiced black magic during their lifetime (such as witches and ceremonial magicians, a prodigious number of whom existed in Britain) were particularly likely to become vampires after their death.” – pp. 379, 380 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present authored by the British witch Doreen Valiente, 1973 A.D. It was for this express purpose, as we learn from Montague Summers’ The Vampire: His Kith and Kin [1928 A.D.] pp.79-80, that “the universal penalty for witchcraft” was to be burnt at the stake as “...cremation, the burning of the dead body, is considered to be one of the few ways, and perhaps the most efficacious manner, in which vampirism can be stamped out and brought to an end.” In Britain, however, it had been customary to hang a witch [Ibid p.79], thus of course necessitating the driving of said stake through said heart accompanied by said burial at said crossroads. However, as is often the case with a pre-vampirac witch: “To burn the body of the Vampire is generally acknowledged to be by far the supremely efficacious method of ridding a district of this demoniacal pest, and it is the common practice all over the world” [Ibid p.206]. I mention these facts not because I believe in vampires in the ‘un-dead’ sense of the word, for there certainly exists cults which practice the morbid drinking of blood, but only to establish a motive for other people’s inherent madnesses. Personally, I believe the vampire and werewolf legends were creations of Satanic black magic practicing blooddrinking cannibalistic witchcraft cults promulgated with the intention to scare the pious people away from the moonlit groves where witches were wont to celebrate their Sabbats [as well as for profiting from the sale of protective amulets for purposes of protecting their wearers therefrom. Always follow the money trail. The love of money is the root of all evil]. Indeed. It is customary in Satanism to intentionally break those laws which God in his mercy has piously imposed [one of which, as recorded in Leviticus 17:14, forbade the ingestion of blood], the Ten Commandments included, one of which specifically states: 133

“Thou shalt not kill.” [See Exodus 20:13 and Matthew 5:21]. As one Satanist professed as recorded in Bob Larson’s book Satanism p.72: “I have to break all ten commandments,” murder included). In conclusion, the genesis of all magic systems revolve around their adherents belief in and of their esoteric knowledge concerning the rebellious fallen angels (including the angels Satan and Azazel) and of the disembodied spirits of their dead hybrid offspring, including, in many cases, actual communication with said nefarious entities! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Invoke the angels at the cost of your soul! Hell is Forever! Hell is Excruciating! And You have been Fore Warned!

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” - Proverbs 14:12

Chapter 4. Theosophy, European Style (Secret Teachings of Secret Societies) From Genesis 7:11 we learn the comet strike which caused the great Flood and which interred the angels within the earth took place in the 600th year of Noah’s life on 2/17 (Iyyar 17) 4340 B.C. The Celtic holy-day of Beltane was instituted to commemorate the day of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth on this day of Iyyar the 17 th on the Jewish Sacred Calendar, which day being the Julian Calendar equivalent of May 1 (this is the date on which both Beltane and May Day is celebrated). In Norse traditions, Beltane eve, also known as Walpurgis Night, was known as the day of the “Enclosure of the Fallen,” which is to say, it commemorates the enclosure of the fallen angels within their subterranean prison. As is described in 1Enoch X.9, the angel/human hybrid children of the Watchers/angels were all gathered together and made to “destroy each other in battle” in a Biblical Armageddon-like encounter, this event taking place on the eve of Iyyar 17. Beltane is a Celtic holy-day celebrated on May 1 which commemorates the entrapment of Azazel and his angels (along with Azazel’s human wife) within the earth at the time of the Biblical Flood the day following the slaughter of their angel/human children. Beltane festivals featured ritual acts designed to protect people from harm by Otherworldly spirits. Corresponding to a cross-quarter day, this holyday was celebrated in the Northern Hemisphere as Samhain. In medieval Ireland, Samhain became the principle festival where ritual bonfires (as elements of magic rituals) were lit on hills, which is to say, on the high-places, throughout Ireland. The ancient Celtic festival of Samhain included a ritual celebration of the union of a chieftain god (representing the angel Azazel) and a mother-goddess (representing Azazel’s human wife), and additionally involved the propitiation of the spirits, from whence comes our celebration of Halloween (October 31), also showcasing the demons, ghosts and goblins which represented the fallen angels entrapped within the earth and the disembodied spirits of their dead angel/human hybrid offspring. In commemoration of the deaths of the human/hybrid offspring of the 135

angels, Samhain is called the ‘Greater Sabbat of the Dead’ in Wiccan magic (‘Wicca’ is the Old English name for a male witch). Cernunnos is the Wiccan Horned God, as Azazel was known to wear hornedhelmets. His ‘death,’ or rather, his interment within the earth, is marked on Samhain (October 31). Needless to say, Cernunnos represents the angel Azazel. In Wicca, Samhain (October 31) also marks the descent of the Goddess, who represents Azazel’s human wife, into the Underworld. In Celtic legends, the place within the earth where the angels are entrapped is called the Otherworld (this is also true of the Egyptians, from whom this concept likely originated. According to noted Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge in The Egyptian Heaven and Hell (p.87), the term ‘Other World’ was synonymous with the term ‘Underworld’). As noted by Whitley Stokes in KZ 40:245 (1907), the word ‘Samhain’ is etymologically similar to the Proto-Celtic *samani, meaning ‘assembly,’ a word also etymologically similar to the Roman word ‘manes’ and the Etruscan word ‘mani,’ other worldly beings who represent the assembly of imprisoned fallen angels in whose honor this festival is celebrated. The Koran 6.128 likewise speaks of such an “assembly of jinn” (from Arabic jinn, collective plural, meaning "demons, spirits, angels"). The assembled group of jinn, which is to say, angels spoken of therein include Azazel and his group of imprisoned fallen angels. The book of magic known as The Greater Key of Solomon likewise speaks of such “assemblies” of “Evil and rebellious Spirits (read: angels) dwelling in the Abysses of Darkness” of whom its practitioners sought to “conjure” (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VII). The Seventh Tablet of the Assyrian Story of the Creation Line 1 and Fragment-K 3449 Line 4 (See Records of the Past 2nd series, Vol. I ed. by A. H. Sayce/University of Oxford [1888 A.D.]) speak of such an “assembly” of “gods,” which is to say, of the existence of such an “assembly” of angels on our Earth whom the ancients revered as gods). In his book entitled The Cloud upon the Sanctuary, Karl von Eckartshausen, who studied at the University of Ingolstadt under the Freemasonic Illuminatus Adam Weishaupt, reveals his esoteric knowledge concerning this assembly of fallen angels who are interred within the earth when he speaks of the presence of an “interior society,” a “hidden assembly, a society of the Elect” formed “after the fall of man” a “society of sages” (read: a group of fallen angels) which 136

“communicated, according to time and circumstances, unto the exterior societies,” with those humans on the surface of the Earth, or rather, was in communication with such individuals who sought to conjure them, and that “this interior illuminated circle” (located within Azazel’s circular cherub in the interior of the Earth), was an “illuminated community” (the Illuminati) which “counts its members from more than one world,” they being originally from the New Earth, and “which one day will be the Regent Mother of the whole World,” which is to say, will one day emerge to rule over the nations of our Earth. As such, Azazel and his group of fallen angels (along with their human agents) are the mysterious group known as Illuminati. This illuminated group of fallen angels emerges to rule the Earth the result of a great earthquake as prophecied on July 18/19, 2016 A.D. (ancient days were calculated from sunset to sunset). As related in Aleister Crowley: The Midnight Messenger by Mike Culkin: “Crowley first became aware of the existence of spiritual powers** (read: Aleister Crowley first learned about the existence of Azazel’s group of angels who are entrapped within the earth) in 1898 when he read The Cloud upon the Sanctuary by Karl von Eckartshausen (as quoted from above). Crowley was 22 at the time and set out to contact the hidden Order (Azazel and his angels) which the book describes. His efforts led to his initiation into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn on 18 November, 1898.” The “hidden Order” described in The Cloud upon the Sanctuary (circa. late 18th Century A.D.) was none other than the group of fallen angels headed by the fallen angel Azazel. Crowley was in actual communication with them! (Notable quote: “Before continuing with the strictly historical narrative [of Western Magic/Western Occultism] it is advisable to examine, first, what the [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn initiates meant by ‘Magic’… Magic was defined by one initiate as ‘the science and art of creating changes in consciousness’ and to this phrase should, perhaps, be added the words ‘and entering into contact with non-human intelligences.’” – Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D. As Colin Wilson explains in Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast p.49: “…the Hebrew ‘magical’ system known as the Kabbalah is the foundation stone of western occultism.”) (** “Magic is the knowledge of how to employ [read: command] spiritual powers…” – Franz Hartmann. In the eyes of Franz Hartmann, Spiritualism was an “ancient science” and mediumship but a latent power within: “This power of spiritual perception [the ability to communicate with spirits], potentially contained in every man, but developed in few…is perhaps as old as the world. It was known to the ancient prophets, to the Arhats and Rishis of the East, to initiated 137

Brahmins, Egyptians, and Greeks. Its fundamental doctrines are found in the Vedas as well as in the Bible. Upon these doctrines rest the fundaments of the secrets that were revealed only to the initiated in the inner temple where the ancient mysteries were taught, and whose disclosure to the vulgar was forbidden under the penalty of torture and death. They were the secrets known to the ancient sages, and to the Adepts and Rosicrucians of the Middle Ages, and upon a partial understanding of their truths rests the system of modern Freemasonry.” – Franz Hartmann, Preface to The Life of Parascelsus, 1886 A.D.)

The fact that one may actually make contact with Azazel and his group of rebel angels was an ancient Egyptian mystery teaching. The following excerpt from The Emerald Tablets of Thoth (Thoth is a god who represented the angel Azazel) speaks of such a “hidden” “order,” a secret brotherhood which may be magic-ally conjured as it were, referring of course to Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels who are entrapped within the earth: “Banded together as in order, Brothers (a brotherhood) of Darkness, they through the ages, antagonist (adversaries) they to the children of men (to humans). Walked they always secret and hidden, found, yet not found by the children of man. Forever, they walked and worked in darkness, hiding from the light in the darkness of night. Silently, secretly use they their power (the so-called “spirit of error,” the Vril force; ELF waves; Odic force), enslaving and binding the soul of men. Unseen they come, and unseen they go. Man, in his ignorance calls Them (conjures them) from below (from where they lay entrapped beneath the earth).” - Tablet VI of The Emerald Tablets of Thoth (It is this band of brothers, Azazel’s band of rebel angels, of which Theosophist William Q. Judge speaks when he explains: “In the early days of the Theosophical Society the name Mahatma [by which name members of certain Eastern religions referred to the rebellious fallen angels] was not in use here, but the title then was “Brothers.” This referred to the fact that they were a band of men (angels incarnate) who belonged to a brotherhood in the East…Indiscriminately with Mahatma, the word Adept has been used to describe the same beings” - Echoes from the Orient Chapter X by William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.] Thusly, Theosophists know the rebellious fallen angels variously as the Mahatmas, the Adepts, and the Brothers/the Brotherhood)

Ceremonial Magician A. E. Waite in a tome entitled DevilWorship in France Chapter I: Satanism in the Nineteenth Century (1896 A.D.) minces no words when he explains that “the attempt to form a partnership with the lost angels of orthodox theology…constitutes Black Magic,” that “the purpose of Black Magic is simply and obviously to communicate with devils,” he equivocating that “the spiritualist…receives the messages of the spheres (no doubt in the form of ELF waves; the “spirit of error,” the Vril force, waves being spherical in shape) and establishes a partial 138

acquaintance with an order which is not of this world.” Azazel and his Otherworldly order of rebellious fallen angels who are with him entrapped within the earth is the original “Mystical Fraternity” (a fraternity is by definition ‘the quality or condition of being brothers;’ a brotherhood) from which all other such magic-related “secret Fraternities” (secret brotherhoods) were derived due to mankind’s “associations from the past” with this angelic group of fallen angels as noted by A. E. Waite in Chapter 2 of his book entitled The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts (1910 A.D.). It must be noted A. E. Waite, in addition to being a Master Mason, was as well a leading member of a French lodge of the Theosophical Society, and of its magicpracticing inner circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and also a member of the Rosicrucian Society (the SRIA; later he would establish the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross). These facts are important for establishing historical connections between these angels and those humans/esoteric groups with who they have been in contact. And this we most certainly will do. “In the history of psychical phenomena the records of so-called ‘spiritualism’ in Europe, America, and elsewhere hold an important place (as a testament to its popularity in America: “In 1854 the [U.S.] Senate was petitioned to bestow its official sanction upon spiritualism and to make it a national institution. The matter was discussed in the Senate but was finally rejected.” - Devils Drugs and Doctors Chapter XIII: White and Black Magic [Haggard]). Advisedly I say that no term was ever more misapplied than that of ‘spiritualism’ to the cult in Europe and America just mentioned, inasmuch as there is nothing of the spirit about it. The doctrines given in preceding chapters are those of true spiritualism; the misnamed practises of modern mediums and so-called spiritists constitute the Worship of the Dead, old-fashioned necromancy, in fact, which was always prohibited by spiritual teachers. They are a gross materializing of the spiritual idea, and deal with matter more than with its opposite. This cult is supposed by some to have originated about forty years ago (in 1848 A.D.) in America at Rochester, N. Y., under the mediumship of the Fox sisters, but it was known in Salem during the witchcraft excitement (during the Salem Witch Trials, circa 1692-1693 A.D.), and in Europe one hundred years ago (circa 1793 A.D.) the same practises were pursued, similar phenomena seen, mediums developed, and sѐances held. For centuries it has been well known in India where it is properly designated ‘bhuta 139

worship,’ meaning the attempt to communicate with the devil…” (Explains Judge: “Bhuta, devil, and elementary are nearly synonymous; the first Sanskrit, the other English.”). - The Ocean of Theosophy by William Q. Judge 1893 A.D. (The word ‘Buddha’ is a cognate of the word ‘Bhuta.’ I must say I whole heartedly agree with Hal Lindsey when he writes in his book entitled Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth: “Necromancy means calling up the dead or foretelling the future by communicating with the dead. Usually when a medium calls up someone from the dead, it is a demonic deception: that is, a demon impersonating someone who is dead will begin to speak through the medium.” I would say this is the case in every instance, and William Q. Judge it would appear was of the same opinion. Spiritualism is witchcraft pure and simple. As occult historian Lewis Spence writing circa 1920 A.D. explains concerning the modern Spiritualist Movement: “Though the (Spiritualist) movement in its present form dates no further back than 1848, it is possible to trace its ancestry to witchcraft, demoniac possession, poltergeist disturbances, and animal magnetism [animal magnetism was derived from the teachings of Paracelsus]. In these all the phenomenon of spiritualism may be found, though the disturbing influences were not in the earlier instances identified with the spirits of the deceased… In such cases the symptoms were generally referred either to angelic or diabolic possession…” – p.380 An Encylopaedia of Occultism) (“The witches’ belief that ‘the power’ [of clairvoyance] resides within themselves, and that their rites serve to bring it out, is the great difference between them and the practitioners of ‘ceremonial magic,’ black or white. The latter proceed by the invocation or evocation of spirits, sometimes of demons, whom they seek to compel to serve them. This is not the witches’ way, though they believe that helpful spirits, human or otherwise, come of their own accord to assist in their rites, and that those present who have developed ‘the Sight’ (i.e. clairvoyance) may see such spirits.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D. This is, however, nothing more than a demonic deception, for as previously pointed out: “…Porphyry says, as quoted by Augustine (De Civ. Dei x, 11): ‘There is a class of demons [read: fallen angels] of crafty nature, pretending that they are gods and the souls of the dead.’” - Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas. Such is the nature of demonic deception)

“From the days when the most ancient Sanskrit writings laid down modes of invoking spirits…and prescribed the conditions under which mortals should hold communion with them, up to the nineteenth century, when the "spiritualists who permeate every land of civilization, point their little tracts descriptive of the best means of forming 'circles' for the purpose of evoking spirit presence and communion, there never was an age or time when man in some form or other did not believe in Spiritual existences subordinate to the Deity; in the means of communing with them, and in their influence on human action for good or evil.” – Art Magic Spirtualism is inextricably entwined with Magic: “Spiritualism in the hands of an adept becomes Magic, for he is learned in the art of blending together the laws of the Universe, without breaking any of them and thereby violating Nature. In the hands of an experienced medium, Spiritualism becomes Unconscious 140

Sorcery; for, by allowing himself to become the helpless tool of a variety of spirits, of whom he knows nothing save what the latter permit him to know, he opens, unknown to himself, a door of communication between the two worlds, through which emerge the blind forces of Nature lurking in the astral light,** as well as good and bad spirits.” [The collected writings of H.P.Blavatsky -I, 137]” - Deity, Cosmos and Man by Geoffrey Farthing (** As Israel Regardie explains in Foundations of Practical Magic p.51: “By means of the traditional theurgic technique it is possible to contact consciously this plane [the Astral Light], to…converse with its elemental and angelic inhabitants so-called…”) (Notable Quote: “To use the faculty of holding converse with visitors, whether from the world of men or the world of spirits, is one thing; but to abdicate the ownership of one’s house [body], and suffer another [spirit] to occupy it, the owner being meanwhile altogether unconscious of that other’s character and proceedings, is another thing, and one that is as unwise and perilous in the case of a spiritual as of a material visitor.” - The Credo of Christendom and other Addresses and Essays on Esoteric Christianity: Chapter 11. Extraneous Spirits and Obsession by Anna Bonus Kingsford and Edward Maitland, 1916 A.D.) (“Many [Spiritualist] mediums, especially in the United States, are also stout Christians, both Catholic and Protestant.” – p.105 Witchcraft by Hans Holzer, 2002 A.D. Such practices must be filed under the category of Cabalism)

Incredibly enough, a prominent number of novels emerging from the Spiritualist Movement of the 18th – 20th Centuries in Europe and America speak of the existence of Azazel and the rebellious fallen angels and how these angels interact with the human societies of our Earth. In Chapter 12 of The Goal of Life (1908 A.D.) the esoteric author Hiram E. Butler speaks of Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels who are entrapped within the earth when he professes the existence on our Earth of an “Eternal Brotherhood…gathered from those who are called in Genesis vi. 2 ‘the sons of God’ (read: angels),” a group which he attests abides here upon our Earth. In the pursuit of spiritual truth, writes Butler in 1887 A.D. at the height of the American Spiritualist Movement in his book entitled Solar Biology: “We have to confront numerous traditions regarding a fallen race, tempters of Adam and Eve,” who are “‘the powers and principalities of the air’ (read: the angels. See Ephesians 6:12), against which the people of this earth have to contend.” (Hiram E. Butler was [circa 1910 A.D.] “Professor of Latin at the University of London”; See The Golden Ass xii 1924 A.D. edition. According to Jaques Vallee in Messengers of Deception p.143, the writings of Hiram E. Butler exerted a major influence on the Paris, France-based group known as the Order of Melchizedek, a UFO religion group.** In 1889 A.D., Butler migrated from Boston, MA to a site near Applegate, California with a dozen of his most magically adept disciples there to establish a commune-type Spiritualist Esoteric Fraternity. Note in total they make 13 individuals, the typical number in a traditional witch’s coven composed of eleven witches of various gender, a high priest and a high priestess) (**As we learn from Jim Keith in Saucers of the Illuminati: “…the Order of Melchizedek…espouses a one world government… The Order 141

is cabalistic in its mystical practices, the Qabalah being an ancient form of Jewish mystical cosmology, a philosophy also employed by other occult groups such as the OTO and the Freemasons.”)

The group consisting of Azazel and his rebellious fallen angels are variously known amongst esoteric orders as the Illuminati, the Brotherhood of the Illuminati, the Brotherhood of Shamballa, the Universal Brotherhood, the Ancient Mystical White Brotherhood, the Great White Brotherhood (which is also known as the Comity of Stars by some individuals; the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magicorder is said to be the ‘Outer Order of the Great White Brotherhood’), the Great White Brotherhood of Sirius (of the Sovereign Order of the Solar Temple), the Great Brotherhood of Light, the Brotherhood of the White Lodge, the Great White Lodge (of the Adepti), the Great Chiefs (Tchatchau), the Secret Chiefs (Unbekkanie Oberen), the Inner Chiefs, the Inner Chiefs of the Third Order, the Inner Order of the OTO (the Inner Head of which is Azazel), Inner Plane Adepti, the Adepts, the Masters, the Ascended Masters, the Masters of the Hidden Brotherhood (also known as Mahatmas, Adept Brothers, Elder Brothers and more recently with the appearance of the so-called UFO religions, ‘Space Brothers,’ as well as being known as the ‘[Dread] Lords of the Outer Spaces,’ the ‘guardians of the Magic Circle’ [read: the angels entrapped within Azazel’s chrub]), the Ancient Aryan Masters, the White Masters (for which reason Azazel’s human wife is known as the White Goddess/the White Lady), the Masters of HigherKnowledge, the Masters of Wisdom, the Masters of the Ancient Wisdom, the Masters of Agartha (per Alexandre Saint-Yves), the Great Hierarchy of Intelligences (per Cyril Scott in An Outline of Modern Occultism [1935 A.D.]), the Demiurgic Intelligences (See The Dramatic Universe by John G. Bennett), the Hidden Order (the Stella Matutina uses this phrase to denote this group of angels, which term is derived from the “hidden Order” as described in The Cloud upon the Sanctuary) the Hidden Directorate (a term which hails from a Sufi tradition. For more information see The People of the Secret by Ernest Scott), the Secret Directorate, the Council of Nine (aka the Nine, the Ennead pantheon of ancient Egyptian gods, and the Nine Muses) and the Inner Government of the World. These fallen angels (aided by the efforts of Overshadowed human helpers) are the true leaders of the New World Order. As noted in Angels, Demons and Freemasons: The True Conspiracy, 2008 A.D: “Albert Pike…pointed out that the goal 142

of the Hidden Order, survived under various names throughout time, governed by the unknown chiefs, was to bring to fruition a New World Order, overthrowing throne and altar.” (As OTO-member Robert Shell explains: “Kenneth Grant, the British head of the Ordo Templi Orientis and also a friend of mine, has speculated that these beings referred to as ‘those on high’ [occupants of UFOs] are the same beings that Aleister Crowley referred to as the Secret Chiefs, and the Egyptians deified into their many god forms [including most specifically the aforementioned gods constituting the Ennead of Heliopolis, a word which translates as The Nine]. These beings are, in the ultimate setting, the true rulers and the true owners of this planet.” – Revelation: The Divine Fire Chapter 9) The term ‘Secret Chiefs’ is the name the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (as well as some of its various offshoots) uses to denote Azazel’s group of rebel angels with whom they had established contact. In fact, the highest order in the Western Magic hierarchy of official grades is said to be the: “…Third Order. The members of this (Third Order)—the Secret Chiefs—were considered to be the Great White Lodge of the Adepti, the ‘Mahatmas’ (angels) who had given Madame Blavatsky her mission.” – p.65 Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D. Those who are said to occupy this Third Order are the rebel fallen angels themselves! This group occupies the top of the Western Magic hierarchy. In fact, high-placed members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn were closely associated with high-placed members of the Theosophical Society: “(William Wynn) Westcott (one of the co-founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) was a personal friend of Madame Blavatsky (president and founding member of the Theosophical Society) and while she lived there was a friendly alliance between the Eastern Section of the Theosophical Society and the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn. He (Wescott, a reputed leader of the ‘Order of the Palladium’) was also associated with the Christian mystics Anna Bonus Kingsford and Edward Maitland, of the London Hermetic Society...” – Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D. (Annie Besant, president of the Theosophical Society, as we learn from Annie Besant: An Autobiography, frequented the very same “centre of heretical thought” as Edward Maitland [the Maitlands being related to the Balfours by marriage], namely, the Ramsgate residence of English Freethought (Freethought tenets almost always tend to run counter to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and other Christian denominations in general) Theist 143

publisher Thomas Scott (who employed as his emblem a ‘serpent twined on a tau cross’ (See History of Freethought in the Nineteenth Century Part 2, by J.M. Robertson p.400, by definition a palladium, the sign of Azazel (See Appendix A), signaling his membership in the super-secretive Freemasonic ‘Order of the Palladium’ [which magic order performs the New and Reformed Palladian Rite as instituted by Albert Pike and Giuseppe Mazzini; it is a distinct possibility and probable likelihood that the inner circle of this group represented a Palladian Society which admits both males, dubbed “Companions of Ulysses” (2°) and females, called “Companions of Penelope” (2°), within its ranks (1° = Adelph, androgynous in nature consisting of both male and female members)] and no doubt Thomas Scott was of the very highest Freemasonic degrees), whose “correspondence was enormous, from Prime Ministers downwards [“…clerics and laymen, scholars and thinkers, all coming to this one house,” the house of Thomas Scott. The Scotts (like the Maitlands) are likewise related to the Balfours by marriage]. At his house met people of the most varied opinions; it was a veritable heretical salon.” Included within this group of heretics was philosopher Charles Bray whose “Rosehill Circle” included transcendentalist/Spiritualist poet Ralph Waldo Emerson,** a friend of Henry James, Sr., father of William James of Harvard University (** “The Boston community into which Emerson was born was a tightly knit little social island of British-connected merchants and Unitarian ministers…Harvard College, the intellectual center…” - Treason in America by Anton Chaitkin, 1984 A.D. For this reason Harvard is known as the ‘Unitarian Vatican.’ It is to this very group of British heretics that the Boston of Emerson’s day was connected). Note these facts well. As noted by Craig Heimbichner in Blood on the Altar: The Secret History of the World’s Most Dangerous Secret Society [2005 A.D.] the Ordo Templi Orientis [OTO] is the embodiment of the ‘Order of the Palladium,’ both of which Orders accepted males and females within its ranks and both of which were known to practice ‘sex magick.’ OTOmember Louis T. Culling writes in A Manual of Sex Magick [1971 A.D.] p.87 that Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn co-founder William Wynn Westcott was in fact a leading member of the super-secretive ‘Palladian Order’ [Aleister Crowley’s personal secretary Israel Regardie also testifies to this fact in The Eye in the Triangle pp.79-80], and Israel Regardie himself professed to be a member as well [Ibid p.10]. Francis King in The Rebirth of Magic p.178 offers confirmation of this fact as pertains to Louis T. Culling, Culling himself being a member of Jack Parsons’ [CIA-sanctioned] OTO lodge) (**Ralph Waldo Emerson connects to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow [Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was the Grand Priest of the Oddfellow’s Satanic ‘New Evocative Magic’ ritual, which was as we learn from Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller in Occult Theocracy was itself directly related to the Palladian Rite] through the merchant seaman/Harvard attendee/Massachusetts politician Richard Henry Dana, Jr. [1815-1852 A.D.], whose ancestors included [metaphysical] poet Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672 A.D.) [Anne Bradstreet’s ancestors include President Herbert Hoover as well as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. and Jr.]: “In 1825, Dana enrolled in a private school overseen by Ralph Waldo Emerson [Dana was Emerson’s student]…His son, Richard Henry Dana III, married Edith Longfellow, daughter of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.” – Wikipedia. Their son was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Dana [a Harvard grad and professor at Columbia University; he was a close colleague of APA first president James McKeen Cattell and of various professors who would go on to found The New School of Social Research in Greenwich Village whose celebrated attendees included Jack Kerouac [Kerouac was a Columbia University attendee as well. Columbia University like the New School for Social Research is known to have extensive CIA ties with a number of individuals holding dual positions of leadership in both the CIA and and the university. Columbia University also has extensive ties to the Council on Foreign Relations] and Marlon Brando which facts are as we shall see of no small importance. Note very well these associations. Columbia University had been at the forefront of American efforts to create the atomic bomb— Columbia University’s Physics Department played a crucial role in the Manhattan Project, a quite common thread within our story (some of the most powerful magicians of our day in fact may be found in the physics departments of major universities). The Columbia University school of 144

magic was notably enough the alma mater of Jewish Kabalist Rabbi Joshua Trachtenberg whose Columbia University Ph.D. thesis served as the basis of his 1939 A.D. book on Jewish magic and mysticism, namely, Jewish Magic and Superstition) (One Aleister Crowley-initiate who highlights the connection between Crowley’s A.:A.: [of which he was a member], the OTO [he served as the head of the OTO in Australia], the Theosophical Society [he was a member of the Australian section of the Theosophical Society] and Co-Freemasonry [as founded by Theosophical Society president Annie Besant] is A.:A.: member Sir Frank Bennett, a knight of the British realm involved with all of these organizations. Frank Bennett had even joined Aleister Crowley at his Abbey of Thelema in 1921 A.D. along with Cecil Frederick Russell and Hollywood actress Jane Wolfe. Frank Bennett communicated regularly with Charles Stansfeld Jones [Jane Wolfe herself belonged to Jones’ OTO lodge in California], in whose OTO magic lodge Jack Parsons and Harry Smith [later resident Shaman of New York City’s Chelsea Hotel], both received their initiations, more facts whose importance will only later be appreciated) (A book declared by Aleister Crowley to be an essential part of any magick library entitled Heavenly Bridegrooms as written by the selfdescribed “earthly wife of an angel,” a Freethought advocate, Chicago witch and Spiritualist medium involved in “psychical research” [she exhibiting more than a passing familiarity with the findings of the Society for Psychical Research with which she was likely involved] named Ida C. Craddock [1857 – 1902 A.D.] is thought to have played an important role in the sexmagick rituals of the OTO. As we learn from Wikipedia: “In the latter part of the 19th century, sexual reformer Ida Craddock published several works dealing with sacred sexuality [code for ‘sex-magick’], most notably Heavenly Bridegrooms and Psychic Wedlock [as ceremonial magician Donald Tyson indicates in his book Sexual Alchemy: Magical Intercourse with Spirits (2000 A.D.), itself a historical study of sex-magic including sex with Otherworldly beings: “In the nineteenth century spirit mediums frequently reported sexual feelings during contact with certain spirits… Female mediums sometimes experienced sexual climax at the height of their manifestations.”]. Aleister Crowley reviewed Heavenly Bridegrooms in the pages of his journal The Equinox, stating that it was: ‘...one of the most remarkable human documents ever produced, and it should certainly find a regular publisher in book form. The authoress of the MS. claims that she was the wife of an angel. She expounds at the greatest length the philosophy connected with this thesis [including the sexual intermingling of humans and angels as set forth in Genesis 6:4]. Her learning is enormous. ...This book is of incalculable value to every student of occult matters. No Magick library is complete without it.’ Sexual techniques from Craddock’s Psychic Wedlock were later reproduced in [A Manual of] Sex Magick by O.T.O. initiate Louis T. Culling [Louis T. Culling was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge]. – Wikipedia: SexMagic. Ida C. Craddock is yet another product of the British Museum and was known to have taken classes offered by the Theosophical Society and to have served as Secretary for the The American Secular Union and Freethought Federation which publically advocated the total separation of church and state. An anti-Christian coalition in the form of Secular Humanism and the associated Freethought movements brought together many diverse people including Atheists, ceremonial magicians, witches, Spiritists/Spiritualists, homosexuals and socialists into one heterogeneous organization. As the old saying goes, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” and this enemy was the Church by whom such groups were ruthlessly persecuted. Legal prosecutions would indeed induce Craddock to later commit suicide)

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was a product of the Spiritualism Movement: “…in the 1850s (though originally beginning in 1848 A.D.), when spiritualism sprang up in the United States, then swept like a fever 145

through Europe, with the result that communication with the dead grew to become almost a respectable religious activity (Spiritualism is in fact a recognized religion). The séances of D.D. Home, one of the leading exponents of the new cult, were often attended by the nobility. Long-obsolete forms of divination became fashionable overnight. The ouija board, for example, which is an instrument for spelling out messages from the dead and can be traced back to 540 B.C., was now in constant use at séances throughout the Western world. This remarkable era witnessed the dramatic revival of magic of an extremely interesting type. Its leading exponents were Eliphas Levi (a leading member of a Theosophical Society lodge in France), followed later by Macgregor Mathers, and the notorious Aleister Crowley (all of whom were members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn).” Theosophist and one-time President of the Theosophical Society Annie Besant in her book entitled The Masters (1912 A.D.) likewise speaks of great teachers who are “Guardians of humanity” (read: guardian angels) forming a “great Brotherhood” who while being “incarnate, they remain in retired and secluded spots, away from the tumult of human life,” and who are said to “aid, in countless ways, the progress of humanity.” C.W. Leadbeater, 33° Freemason and prominent early member of the Theosophical Society (who was once employed as a tutor to the son of Theosophical Society President A.P. Sinnett and as tutor of Dr. George Sidney Arundale, President of the Theosophical Society Adyar in India, the son of Annie Besant), writes the following concerning this angelic group as presented in The Masters and the Path (1925 A.D.) Part I: The Masters, Chapter I: The Existence of the Masters General Considerations: “The possession of extended vision and other faculties resulting from the unfolding of our latent powers has also brought within our constant experience the fact that there are other orders of beings than the human, some of whom rank alongside the Adepts in a grade of existence higher than our own…whom we call Devas or Angels.” Theosophists consider the incarnate angels to be a very real genus higher on the evolutionary scale than normal human beings: “The highest system of evolution specially connected with this earth, so far as we know, is that of the beings whom Hindus call the Devas, and who have elsewhere been spoken of as angels, sons of God, etc. 146

They may, in fact, be regarded as a kingdom lying next above humanity, in the same way as humanity in turn lies next above the animal kingdom…” - Devachanic Plane by C.W. Leadbeater, 1896 A.D. (The term Devachanic Plane refers to: “…the invisible world, (or heaven, Devachan)…” - Zohar: Bereshith to Lekh Lekha, where dwelleth the deva/angels)

In The World Mother As Symbol and Fact Leadbeater states these: “Angels take a very great part in the direction of (human) evolution.” In Glimpses of Masonic History Leadbeater expands on this subject as he announces: “…human evolution…is being definitely directed from behind by a body of perfected men which we call the Great White Brotherhood” (angels, as we learn from The Book of Enoch, are in appearance Caucasian: “…there came forth from heaven beings who were like white men” [See The Book of Enoch LXXXVII.2]. These are the ‘perefected men’ of which Leadbeater speaks). And again: “…the evolution of the world is not being left to run its course haphazard, but that its direction and administration are in the hands of a great Hierarchy of Adepts, sometimes called the White Brotherhood” (he makes an allusion of course to the “assembly” of “just men made perfect” mentioned in Hebrews 12:23 though of this he speaks erroneously for they are in fact a group of incarnate fallen angels banished to our Earth by God for their injustices. As noted in Art Magic, such Spiritists/Spiritualists of a Theosophical bent erroneously believe themselves to be in contact with “disembodied human spirits” and “that all angels…had once been men” and regard these angels to be the reincarnated “Souls of men that have enjoyed ages of progress” [read: numerous reincarnations] and who “have attained to the highest conditions of Angelic exaltation.” However, “Angels…are not glorified human beings, but are distinct from man (ICor. 6:3, Heb. 1:14) ”) - The Inner Life (Second Series) Volume II by C. W. Leadbeater (Masonry is a construct of the rebellious fallen angels: “…the movement which is generally termed Masonic had its roots in that true mysticism which originated…from the spiritual Hierarchy [read: from the group of the rebellious fallen angels] which guides the evolution of the world…” – Traces of a Hidden Tradition in Masonry and Mediaeval Mysticism p.3132 [Cooper-Oakley, London, 1900 A.D.]). Speaking of this order of angels Leadbeater goes on to say: “There has always been a Brotherhood of Adepts, the Great White Brotherhood; there have always been Those who knew, those who possessed this inner wisdom, and our Masters (the fallen angels) are among the present representatives of that mighty 147

line of Seers and Sages” (See The Masters and the Path Part II: Chapter III: The Way to the Master [“The Masters of the Path are spiritual beings.” - Letters From a Sufi Teacher: The Theosophy of Islam (Shaikh Sharfuddîn Manerî, 1867 A.D.) and Azazel is known as the ‘Chief Seer’]. In fact, Leadbeater claimed to be in contact with this angelic group: “…many of us are, and have been for many years, in daily communication with these Great Ones…” - Masters of Wisdom (Adyar Pamphlets No. 86) by C. W. Leadbeater. Aleister Crowley, like C.W. Leadbeater, regarded the Great White Brotherhood as a very real entity mentioning it in his book Magick, and in Eight Lectures on Yoga p.43 Crowley goes as far as to say he is a representative of the Great White Brotherhood itself. At any rate, Theosophists such as Leadbeater and Madame Blavatsky staged Spiritual séances by which they attempted to contact these otherworldly “spirits” (in Spiritualism and Philosophy Chapter IX Leadbeater mentions the séances he has attended). Such séances were a popular pasttime of the day, one prominent example being Mary Todd Lincoln’s hosting of séances in the Lincoln White House many of which were attended by President Abraham Lincoln (Notable Quote: “Even Abraham Lincoln was a spiritualist and openly admitted that he based some of his decisions upon information and advice he received at séances.” – p.285 UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D. This of course violated one of Allen Kardec’s cardinal rules, Kardec being the man who literally wrote the book on spirit mediumship, as set forth in his Mediums and Evokers’ Handbook [1861 A.D.]: “Do not live by the spirit’s advice…” There are a great number of individuals who, however, do, and Spiritualism is an officially recognized religion). One of Abraham Lincoln’s most famous political decisions of note based upon the advice of spirits with which he himself had communicated (as related in Buckland’s Book of Spirit Communication pp.33-34) resulted in the emancipation of the slaves (for more information on this subject see also The Psychic Life of Abraham Lincoln by Susan B. Martinez [which reveals that: “…the Spirits not only urged the subject of the Emancipation Proclamation…they in the name of the Independence Fathers (whose disembodied spirits Lincoln and his Spiritualist magic circle believed themselves to be channeling), spelled out, letter by letter the preliminary draft of the famous document” which would of course make the Emancipation Proclamation a product of ‘automatic writing’] 148

as well as Was Abraham Lincoln a Spiritualist?: Curious Revelations from the Life of a Trance Medium by Nettie Colburn [Nettie Colburn was one of a number of the President and Mrs. Lincoln’s Spiritualist mediums/psychic advisors with whom they so often consulted who had been given a job in the Department of the Interior that she might become somewhat of a White House medium-in-residence whose Spiritualist “circles (read: sѐances)…were attended by many of the most prominent people in Washington” at which times Otherworldly spirits were consulted including on such subject matters of a completely martial nature (in order to ascertain troop dispositions of enemy forces, etc.) concerning the ongoing American Civil War in the grand old tradition of King Saul and the Pythoness witch of Endor]. You won’t find that in a sixth grade history book (an account of this episode is additionally included in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s book, The History of Spiritualism Vol I. For that account, turn now to Appendix J). Yet another Spiritualist medium in the Lincoln presidential saga who had actively campaigned for Lincoln’s re-election in 1864 A.D. was an influential British physician/Spiritualist medium hailing from the East End of London named Emma Hardinge Britten (now known to have been the author/editor/publisher of the then anonymously authored Spiritualist magic book Art Magic, a book which was to have a major influence on the teachings of the OTO, it being a veritable Carbonari playbook which in itself would directly lead to the creation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), an active evangelist for the Spiritualist Movement who would later become one of six founding members along with Carbonarimember/Spiritualist medium H.P. Blavatsky of the Theosophical Society in New York. Both Emma Hardinge Britten and H.P. Blavatsky had been co-members along with OTO-founder Karl Kellner of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light magic order (the OTO itself appears to have been the inner-circle of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light [aka the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor (H.B.L.)/Luxor]. An offshoot of this church, The Church of Light, would be incorporated in Los Angeles in 1932 A.D. the President of which was a Freemason named C.C. Zain. Having since relocated to Albuquerque, NM, The Church of Light is yet still in existence today). Historian Karl R.H. Frick suggests President Abraham Lincoln had been a member of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light during the 149

American Civil War era and this would certainly seem to be the case. At the very least it must be recognized President Abraham Lincoln had close associations with various Spiritualist mediums and mystics who were in fact members of this very Rosicrucian order (even to the point of taking part in many its Spiritualist séances, consulting with ‘spirits’ thereat), most significantly of whom was the order’s founder Dr. Paschal Beverly Randolph, a sex-magician who had as we learn from the Introduction to his book Sexual Magic: “…numbered amongst his friends (U.S. President) Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon III (the Carbonari emperor of France: “Napoleon [III] was first informed of the strange powers possessed by Dr. [Paschal Beverly] Randolph through General [Ethan Allen] Hitchcock who had visited Paris in the late forties [1840s] and had become acquainted with Napoleon…” – Introduction and Notes to Seership by Paschal Beverly Randolph), (French ceremonial magician) Eliphas Levi, (British) Lord Bulwer Lytton, (Scottish poet) Charles Mackay and other notables of his day.” To this list of ‘notables’ numbered amongst the friends of Dr. Paschal Beverly Randolph must be added Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Kenneth R.H. McKenzie, Hargrave Jennings (both McKenzie and Jennings were members of the S.R.I.A., constituents of which would later give birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [Pertinent Quote: “In England, Dr. Randolph met such men as Hargrave Jennings, Lord Bulwer Lytton and Kenneth R.H. Mackenzie, and these became his active coworkers and were his correspondents during life.” – Introduction and Notes to Seership by Paschal Beverly Randolph]), Laurence Oliphant and Spiritualist medium Andrew Jackson Davis. Dr. Paschal Beverly Randolph was interestingly enough related to President George Washington’s Revolutionary War-era aide-de-camp Edmund Randolph who had served as America’s very first Attorney General and later as U.S. Secretary of State, and he is related as well to Payton Randolph (Payton Randolph was Thomas Jefferson’s cousin; serving as U.S. Attorney General under President Thomas Jefferson was none other than the Harvard University grad Levi Lincoln, Sr., a relative of President Abraham Lincoln), first president of the Continental Congress whose son, Payton Randolph, Jr., was a major in Washington’s Continental army who served as aide-de-camp to the Illuminus revolutionary, the Marquis de Lafayette. Dr. Paschal Beverly Randolph is also related to the Civil War-era Confederate States’ Secretary of War George W. Randolph. The Randolph’s are additionally related by marriage to Confederate general Robert E. Lee. 150

The Randolph family has played a key role in Virginia politics ever since the arrival of British colonist William Randolph, he and his wife being collectively known as the “Adam and Eve of Virginia.” Amongst President Abraham Lincoln’s own senior inner-circle leadership ranks was the illustrious Major-General Ethan Allen Hitchcock [grandson of Revolutionary War hero, General Ethan Allen], a Rosicrucian member [along with Abraham Lincoln (See The Book of Rosacruciae Vol II p.134 authored by Supreme Grand Master of the Fraternitas Rosae Crucis R. Swinburne Clymer in 1947 A.D.)] of Spiritualist medium Dr. Paschal Beverly Randolph’s Hermetic Brotherhood of Light [aka the Fraternitas Rosae Crucis, a direct linear descendent of Freemason/alchemist Hermann Frichtold’s Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross [in German, Orden des Gold- und Rosenkreutz, one extremely notable member of which was a Royal Society-member/revolutionary Freemason named Georg Forster, a Germanic associate of Benjamin Franklin who had played a major role in the French Revolution]. Major-General Ethan Allen Hitchcock, a Swedenborgian Spiritualist (he would even author a book entitled Swedenborg: A Hermetic Philosopher in 1858 A.D.) whose own private library of philosophical/magical texts included some 250 volumes on the Rosicrucian subject of alchemy alone,** served as military assistant to President Abraham Lincoln and to Lincoln’s own Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton during America’s Civil War (**Ethan Allen Hitchcock’s substantial collection of magical manuscripts is currently housed at the St. Louis Mercantile Library in St. Louis, Missouri, a subscription library known to have hosted a series of lectures whose notable speakers included the Missouri-born Theosophical Society-member Mark Twain [Mark Twain was a friend of Theosophical Society-founder H.S. Olcott. St. Louis was home to the very first branch of the original Theosophical Society in America, the Arjuna Theosophical Society founded by a charter received in 1882 A.D. and signed by H.S. Olcott himself. H.P. Blavatsky also lectured there], Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oscar Wilde [whose own wife was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] and Union general Carl Schurz [Carl Schurz was a Carbonari Young Germany Youth Movement-member who was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln as a general in the Union Army—as the reader shall later discover, President Abraham Lincoln had appointed many Carbonari Youth Movement-members/former revolutionaries (though these were 151

predominantly Young Germany Youth Movement-members) such as Union general Carl Schurz as generals and officers within the Union Army. Carl Schurz was, as he relates in his book, The Reminiscences of Carl Schurz, an associate of Carbonari-founder Giusseppe Mazzini]; it was in this distinguished library’s auditorium where in 1861 A.D. was held the vote whereby Missouri elected to stay within the Union during the opening days of the Civil War as well as the vote which decided for the state’s abolition of slavery in 1865 A.D. Central to these anti-slavery efforts was Abolitionist Unitarian/Swedenborgian Spiritualist minister William Greenleaf Eliot, a graduate of Harvard Divinity School and grandfather to poet T.S. Eliot). (The writings of Major-General Ethan Allen Hitchcock interestingly enough would have a notable influence upon Jungian psychology: “Through Remarks upon Alchemy and the Alchemists [published 1857 AD.] and other writings, Hitchcock argued that the alchemists were actually religious philosophers writing in symbolism. In Problems of Mysticism and its Symbolism [published 1917 A.D.], the Viennese psychologist Herbert Silberer credited Hitchcock with helping to open the way for his explorations of the psychological content of alchemy.” - Wikipedia: Herbert Silberer. Herbert Silberer had been a psychologist within the circle of psychoanalysts surrounding Sigmund Freud in Vienna, Austria [located in modern day Germany] which group included psychologists Alfred Adler and Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung. Hitchcock is a noted scholar whose writings would directly influence Jungian psychology [much of Jung’s writings including Psychology of the Unconscious (1912 A.D.) involve the psychological analysis of the commonalities to be found in mythology and folklore through the ages, thereby arguing that humanity must evolutionarily possess one common mindset which he called the Collective Unconscious (though it is not that humanity shares a common conscious, but that all such individuals were being Overshadowed by the same obsessing angelic powers)]. In fact, Ethan Allen Hitchcock’s translation of The Red Book of Appin [published 1865 A.D.],** itself a compilation of magical tales [‘The Red Book of Appin’ is a story about a magic adept’s theft of a demon’s magic grimoire through the cunning employment of a magician’s magic circle] complete with Hitchcock’s own commentaries on these texts from a Hermetic point of view would highlight the historical occult teachings of the existence of and provide the impetus for the empirical study of the very mysterious though ever elusive human subconscious, the existence of which was first brought 152

to light through archaic Greek philosophical writings. This quasimodern magical quest for the discovery of the human subconscious as set in motion by Ethan Allen Hitchcock would be taken up by pioneering psychologists including Herbert Silberer [resulting in Silberer’s aforementioned book Problems of Mysticism and its Symbolism] and by psychologist Carl Jung [the end result being Jung’s books Psychology and Alchemy (1944 A.D.) and the Mysterium Coniunctionis (1963 A.D.) highlighting the mystical relationship between Alchemy and Psychology]. Note this close relationship between psychology and magic, as it is from this magical base that psychological studies have evolved [Indeed, the “…field of Psychology first emerged at Harvard in the late 1800’s under the scholarship of (Harvard professor/Theosophical Society-member) William James…” as noted on the Harvard University website]. Major-General Ethan Allen Hitchcock’s own nephew and namesake, Ethan Allen Hitchcock would go on to serve as President Theodore Roosevelt’s Secretary of the Interior—note this important political connection as Theodore Roosevelt was a Harvard grad as well as an associate of Harvard professor William James) (**Notable MajorGeneral Ethan Allen Hitchcock Civil War Era Quote: “We had better make friends with the Faeries…for sometimes they represent angels; and these again represent very familiar friends if we put ourselves in a right relation to them [therewith creating an alliance].” – Hitchcock’s Prefatory Remarks from The Red Book of Appin dated Jan. 2, 1863 A.D., this being the day following the Jan. 1st, 1863 A.D. release of President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, clearly issued following the Union’s tragic defeats at the battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg and issued in an attempt to put themselves “in a right position” with the very Faery/angel familiars with whom they were in contact and who had as you’ll recall dictated this very document to them during a Spiritualist séance. Fact is certainly stranger than fiction)

Theosophical Society founding member Emma Hardinge Britten’s book Art Magic would provide the basis for the creation of the Theosophical Society itself: “Let the magic of the Orient combine with the magnetic spontaneity of Western Spiritism and we may have a religion whose foundations laid in science,** and stretching away to the heavens for inspiration, will revolutionize the opinions, or ages, and establish on earth the reign of the true Spiritual Kingdom.” - Art Magic (** Pertinent Art Magic Quote: “Magic may be termed the science of Spiritism.” – Art Magic) (“Magic is the art of producing supernatural effects, by the agency of spirits.” – p.1 A Treatise on Magic: On the Intercourse Between Spirits and Men by Frederick Henry Quitman, Professor of Divinity [1810 A.D.], this 153

book being a testament to Spiritualism’s magical roots and the Spiritualist practices prominent amongst immigrants hailing from the German Palatinate in Bavaria who would take up residence in the Poughkeepsie/Rhinebeck/Albany area of New York state. Rhinebeck itself is located near the Mount Lebanon Shaker Community in New Lebanon,** N.Y., the Shakers being a communal group of English Protestant Spiritualists who had colonized the area during the 1780s A.D. [**currently Mount Lebanon is the New Age home to the Abode of the Message commune founded in 1975 A.D. by London-born Sufi leader Vilayat Inayat Khan]. Rhinebeck itself is currently home to the Abode of the Message-associated Omega Institute of Holistic Studies [founded 1977 A.D.], a Sufi-inspired school of Spiritualism and magic)

One of the tools commonly used for spirit communication is the spirit board. Aleister Crowley was known to employ such spiritboards during some of his black Magick ceremonies (which he used not only to summon what he believed to be disembodied spirits but the fallen angels as well—oft times these entities are one and the very same). The Ouija© Board from Parker Brothers©, patented in 1920 A.D. and packaged as a child’s board game, is itself based upon the concept of spirit boards (including a heart-shaped planchette, deluxe versions of which included two-wheels and a pencil for purposes of automatic-writing) made popular during the quasi-modern Spiritualist Movement to which the Theosophical Society was central. As a testament to the popularity of such spirit boards in American culture, even the All-American artist Norman Rockwell executed a painting entitled The Ouija Board depicting a young man and woman happily gathered together around a Spiritualist’s Ouija board, appearing no less, on the May 1st (May Day), 1920 A.D. cover of The Saturday Evening Post. No doubt this exposure contributed greatly to the Ouija© Board’s popularity. Concerning the use of Ouija© Boards to communicate with the spirit world, an exposѐ penned by former British Society for Psychical Research-member J. Godfrey Raupert entitled The New Black Magic and the Truth About the Ouija-Board (1919 A.D.) pp.233-4 explains: “The practice itself is no discovery of modern science—nothing new in the world of phenomena, as some would have us believe; on the contrary, it is as old as man. In China the little board has been known for centuries and is admitted to be a means of spirit-intercourse (See Fuji planchette-writing). In one form or another, these practices were indulged in by the pagan races and may indeed be considered to be characteristic of the pagan civilizations. They were condemned and forbidden by the laws of Moses because they were known to 154

undermine and destroy the true spiritual life of the people. They fell into disuse as the light of Christianity spread through the world. Their revival, in our time, is not a step forward but a step backward; it is a return to distinctly heathen and anti-Christian beliefs and practices and additional evidence of the fact that the world is once more relapsing into paganism.” Occultist Brad Steiger issues the following warning concerning this latter day pagan revival circa 1973 A.D. in his book, Revelation: The Divine Fire, itself in part a treatise on such Otherwordly contacts: “People are having experiences without having any understanding of unseen spiritual forces and in a sense are becoming victimized by these forces instead of entering consciously into a relationship with them and maintaining some kind of control over them (as is the professed objective of a typical magic ritual). We have people playing with Ouija boards…who find themselves suddenly possessed by demons.” And indeed: “Occultist William Blatty, author of The Excorcist [the story of a 12 year old girl who becomes demon possessed after playing with a Ouija board], has a healthy fear of it… he refers to the ouija board as very dangerous and says that mental institutions ‘are loaded with people’ who got involved with the occult by using it.” – UFOs: What on Earth is Happening by Weldon/Levitt, 1975 A.D. Such spirit possessions often result in the suicide of the possessee. Spirit possession may also, as evidenced in The Bible, provoke one to violence and murder. In his book Spiritism and Psychology (1911 A.D.), the Swiss psychologist/psychical researcher Theodore Flournoy concedes that “the danger of spiritistic practices is very great” and offers words of warning to those who “regard the planchette as a toy,” that such “spiritistic practices” were liable to induce “abnormal and mordid states and conditions” in its users including “cases of delusion, insanity, and all the horrors of obsession.” The French psychologist Dr. Marcel Viollet also notes the correlation between Spiritualist practices and insanity in his straighforwarldy entitled book Spiritism and Insanity published in 1910 A.D. In Spiritism: The Modern Satanism (1920 A.D.), author Thomas F. Coakley describes the Spiritualism Movement itself as nothing less than a “plot to destroy Christianity.” He goes on to explain: “By 1854 (in America) no less than 1300 people signed a 155

petition to Congress requesting a national investigation of its (Spiritualism’s) claims. Some of the most prominent people of the United States gave it their support (“…the excitement became intense, and the new faith spread through the United States with so potent an influence, that in 1871 the number of its supporters was variously reckoned at from eight to eleven millions [out of a total U.S. population of 38.5 million according to the 1870 census]. Nor could the waves of the Atlantic set bounds to its progress.” – Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember). Soon it invaded Europe causing immense interest and excitement. So great was its popularity that in 1887 there were about 100 newspapers dealing with the philosophy and phenomena of Spiritism. Its adherents were numbered by millions, lectures were given every day of the year, and spiritistic circles were held in nearly every city, town and village throughout the length and breadth of the country. Since the outbreak of the Great War (WWI) the movement has grown by leaps and bounds (due to the large number of deaths inflicted)… Spiritistic temples are being erected in many parts of the country, and a veritable frenzy of spirit consultation has seized upon the whole population, stimulated by a flood of sensational articles in newspapers and popular magazines, all of them challenging the essential and fundamental doctrines of Christianity.” Spiritualism itself is a recognized religion. One notable example of automatism is a book entitled Oahspe: A Kosmon Bible in the Words of Jehovih and his Angel Embassadors Chapter IV: Book of Wars Against Jehovih v. 14 by John Ballou Newbrough (1882 A.D.), a purported product of ‘automatic writing’ allegedly dictated by a spirit (also known by the pseudo-scientific name of polygraphics) during the Spiritualism Movement in America, which enlightens its readers of the existence of: “…angels from above…from the colleges of Craoshivi…” (‘Craoshivi’ is therein translated as “God’s heavenly place”), a group who “…were to sojourn on the earth…as inspiring spirits and protectors (read: as guardian angels),” with Newbrough surmising that “angels” have indeed “dwelt on the earth.” This book would be commonly cited for explanations to the UFO mystery during the 1950s in America (the UFOs being attributed to the activities of the angels). Theosophist author and prominent Theosophical Societymember Alice A. Bailey, a veritable cheerleader for the Spiritualist Movement in America (whose writings would inspire a number of 156

New Age UFO religions. For more information see The Demonic Theory of UFOs by John of the Gentiles), speaks circa 1922 A.D. of the existence of Azazel and the rest of the rebellious fallen angels when she explains: “In Lemurian days (from Latin lemures [plural] “spirits of the dead.” ‘Lemures’ were said to reside within the earth), after the great descent of the spiritual Existences (read: of the rebellious fallen angels) to the earth (the angels arrived on Earth in 5000 B.C.), the work They planned to do was systematized (the work these angels planned to do, it must be noted, included the eternal destruction of the entire human race). Offices were apportioned, and the processes of evolution in all the departments of nature were brought under the conscious wise guidance of this initial Brotherhood. This Hierarchy of Brothers of Light (H.B.L.) still exists, and the work goes steadily on. They (the angels who constitute this ‘Brotherhood’) are all in physical existence (incarnate), either in dense physical bodies, such as many of the Masters employ, or in etheric bodies, such as the more exalted helpers and the Lord of the World occupy (Azazel is the Gnostic Iadabaoth (a compound word containing the names of the gods Ia [alternatively spelled Ea], Abad[don] and Thoth), who was called the “Lord of the World,” being he whose anger blazed with jealous rage at the created primal man Adam who became superior to himself. As the Illuminus university professor [who played an active role in the Revolution of 1905 in Russia I might add] Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski notes in Beasts, Men and Gods: “The Lord of the World is in touch with the thoughts of all those who direct the destiny of mankind...”). It is of value for men to remember that They are in physical existence (the angels are incarnate), and to bear in mind that They (angels) exist upon this planet with us, controlling its destinies, guiding its affairs, and leading all its evolutions on to an ultimate perfection. The central home of this Hierarchy is at Shamballa (aka the ‘City of the Gods’), a centre in the Gobi desert (gobi means “desert”), called in the ancient books the “White Island” (it derives its name from the place in the desert where Azazel and his Great White Brotherhood is located which is called “The Island” by Arabs, the place of Azazel’s entrapment being situated as it is between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers; Bailey is in error placing Azazel’s location within the Gobi desert)…Several of the Masters in physical bodies (read: angels incarnate) dwell in the Himalaya mountains, in a 157

secluded spot called Shigatse (in Tibet), far from the ways of men, but the greater number (of rebellious fallen angels) are scattered all over the world, dwelling in different places in the various nations, unrecognised and unknown (concerning this subject see Hebrews 13:2 which states: “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares,” the angels being virtually indistinguishable from the native human inhabitants of the Earth. Indeed, it was revealed in the East that the: “Jinn (the rebellious fallen angels)…appear in human shape amongst mankind…” - Studies in Islamic Mysticism. Unbeknownst and unawares to many, to be sure, infiltrating angels stride the hallways of power, Intelligence agencies and commerce upon this planet. In this regard the award for Most Interesting Choice of Words [uttered concerning a conflict of viewpoints on U.S. economic policy] goes to [drumroll please]: Congressional Majority Leader John Boehner, 09/15/11: “It’s almost like we’re two different people from two different planets who don’t understand each other.” Perhaps less almost than exactly [Extremely Pertinent Quote: “The late Dr. James McDonald, a meteorologist from the University of Arizona who became embroiled in the UFO controversy, privately discussed, in his last years, the possibility that alien beings were not only present on this planet but were systematically taking over top posts in the government and military.” SAGA: The Flying Saucer Evidence Everyone Ignores by John A. Keel])…It might here be well to point out that, working as members of that Hierarchy are a great number of beings called angels by the Christian, and devas** by the oriental.” - Initiation, Human and Solar Chapter IV: The Founding of the Hierarchy by Alice A. Bailey, 1922 A.D. (** “The word that the Eastern uses for God is a word equivalent to your ‘angel’ or ‘archangel,’ not the One Supreme Being whom you alone speak of under that name. When the Hindu speaks of the Deva so and so, it only means Shining One, the very word that John Bunyan applied to the angels in the Pilgrim's Progress.” - Mysticism by Annie Besant) (Which brings us to the U.N. and Robert Muller. “Robert Muller (born 1923 in Belgium, dead September 20, 2010) was an international civil servant with the United Nations. Under Secretary General for 40 years, his ideas about world government, world peace and spirituality [Spiritualism] led to the increased representation of religions in the U.N. (UNESCO), especially of the New Age Movement (influential Theosophical Society-member Alice A. Bailey’s [founder of the Lucifer Trust (now known as the Lucis Trust)] Temple of Understanding religious center is headquartered at the U.N.). He has become known as the ‘Philosopher’ of the U.N. … Muller’s educational project is described in the World Core Curriculum Manual: ‘the underlying philosophy upon which the Robert Muller School is based will be found in the teaching set forth in the books of Alice A. Bailey by the Tibetan teacher, Djwhal Khul.’ Bailey was a famous theosophist, while Khul was the ‘Ascended Master’ [a fallen angel]—a spiritual entity—who allegedly imparted knowledge to Bailey.’ – Wikipedia: Robert Muller. The fallen angels run the U.N. through Overshadowed Spiritualist lackeys like Robert Muller. What did Robert Muller, a prominent 158

associate of the Lucis Trust, have to say about the implementation of a brave New World Order? Muller once wrote: “We must move as quickly as possible to a one-world government; a one world religion; under a one-world leader.” - The U.N. and the Occult Agenda. This one-world religion is based upon the teachings of Cabala/Kabala/Qabalah. In an effort to achieve world peace, since many wars have historically been sparked by religion and are religious in character, it is believed the globalist goal of one-world government ruled by a one-world leader can only be achieved through the creation of a one-world religion: “…the Qabalah is a world philosophy, and consequently there lurks within it the makings of a world religion… illumination…will give life and light to a new world order…” - The Secret Wisdom of Qabalah by British spy Aleister Crowley’s friend, British Major-General J.F.C. Fuller. A one-world religion is an Illuminati goal and this they seek through the doctrine of Monism [the entirely false teaching that there is one god who has had many manifestations in the diverse religious traditions, that all of the great teachers of the past, Buddha, Muhammad, Jesus, et al, were all manifestations of this one and only ‘God’] as promoted by organizations most prominent amongst which is UNESCO. Spiritualism, one of the main tenets of Qabalism, was likewise deemed to be a common religious denominator helpful in the creation of this one-world religion: “…the field of spiritualism is infinitely broad, and on it every variety of Christian [Protestant, Catholic, Esoteric, et al], as well as the Moslem, the Hindu or the Parsee, can dwell in brotherhood.” – The History of Spiritualism by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1926 A.D. Interestingly enough, Theosophical Society-member Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s friends have included Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Dr. Henry B. Pullen Burry, author of the book, Qabalism, a testament to Doyle’s own association with the magic order)

Likely it is this very “Hierarchy,” at its core consisting of angels who as per Alice A. Bailey “exist upon this planet with us, controlling its destinies, guiding its affairs,” of which the following quotes speak: “Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power (‘power’ is a word synonymous with the word ‘angel’) somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful (a play on the word ‘Watchers’/angels), so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” – President Woodrow Wilson (1913 A.D.) *** “A power (‘power’ again is a word synonymous with the word ‘angel,’ this being a play on words) has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various powerful interests, combined in one mass.” - John C. Calhoun, Vice President of the United States *** “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible (hidden) government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.” – President Theodore Roosevelt (Pertinent Quote: “There are two governments in the United States today. One is visible. The other is invisible. The first is the governments the citizens read about in the 159

newspapers and children study about in their civics books. The other is the interlocking, hidden machinery… The Invisible Government is not a formal body. It is a loose amorphous grouping of individuals and agencies… This second, invisible government gathers intelligence, conducts espionage, and plans and executes secret operations all over the globe.” – The Invisible Government Wise/Ross, 1964 A.D.) *** “The real rulers in Washington are invisible (hidden), and exercise power from behind the scenes.” - Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter (1952 A.D.) *** “There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” – U.S. Senator/US Senate Intelligence Committeeman Daniel K. Inouye *** Annie Besant in The Inner Government of Our World speaks of the shadow government of the world which is composed of rebellious fallen angels: “…all the activities of our world…are directed by a Group of great Beings” an “Occult Government of the World… considering the especial Government of our own world, the Occult Hierarchy (of angels) as it is called, the Beings (angels) composing that (Occult Hierarchy) having come to our earth in the middle of the third human Race from the planet Shukra (Venus)... (read: from an alien planet; the angels came, in fact, from the New Earth. At that time people were naïve enough to believe the angels when they said they came from the planet Venus)… They were of Those who originally came to our world for its helping, and who are still with us… the high Devas (the rebellious fallen angels)...are the true inner Rulers of our world.” - The Inner Government of Our World by Annie Besant (In the immortal words of the angel Azazel himself: “…the government of the worlds…and the changes of their directors are determined by me [Melek Tawus, who is the angel Azazel].” - Al-Jilwah [The Revelation] Chapter III) *** According to C. W. Leadbeater: “the Great Brotherhood (of angels)…rules the world.” - The Inner Life (First Series) *** “Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. Our minds are molded, our tastes are formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men (read: incarnate angels) we have never heard of.” – Propaganda by Walter Bernays, 1928 A.D. *** “The drive…is to create a one world government...Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope…” - Congressman Larry P. McDonald (1976 A.D.) *** “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be 160

achieved by conquest or consent.” – Co-conspirator James Paul Warburg (OSS agent) *** The working members of the Hierarchy constitute a Shadow Government bent on World Government and is centered in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Theosophists call the place where these angels lay entrapped within the earth Kamaloka (the Japanese word ‘Kami’ means ‘god’ and is comparable to the words deva and angel. Compare to Camalot, derived from another legend which we shall later discover also revolves around the angel Azazel). That the rebel angels are in control of this Earth is verified by The Bible: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood (humans), but against principalities, against powers (angels), against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 KJV. Included within this ‘Hierarchy’ is the rebel angel Satan and his group of fallen angels: “And the devil (Satan), taking him (Jesus) up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him (Jesus), ‘All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.’” Luke 4:5-6). The world is Satan’s oyster. He gives it to whomever he pleases, and indeed, has given it, and indeed, will give it. They to whom it has been given control it even now. Globalization of economies under a one-world government, secretly headed by the leadership of Satan, and seconded by Azazel, in a New World Order, is the ultimate aim of the Masons and of Freemasonry, branches of one organization with the same common goal, all part of The Great Work known as the Theosphical Movement, which is the Mystery of Lawlessness of which 2Thessalonians 2:7 speaks, which was already a ‘work’ in progress in Jesus’ own time. At the present moment this goal nears its attainment. Another such diabolical incarnation within the Theosophical Movement is the inoccuous sounding Bohemian Club, owners of the Bohemian Grove. The Bohemian Grove membership list reads as a ‘Whose Who’ of American Political, Cultural, Financial and Defense interests. Bohemian Grove magic ceremonies invoke these rebellious fallen angels, invoking the ‘spirit of Bohemia,’ the word ‘Bohemia’ being a variation of ‘Behemoth,’ the name of Azazel’s cherub, also representative of its associated angel, Azazel.

Azazel is aided in this goal of establishing a New World Order by Satan’s group of rebel angels. It must be remembered there was a rebellion in heaven, spearheaded by Satan: “Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon (Satan); and the dragon (Satan) and his angels fought, but they were defeated…” - Revelation 12:7-8 Satan the Dragon and his fellow seditious angels were thrown down to our Earth where they secretly reside today: “And the great dragon (Satan in his cherub, ‘Leviathan.’ The word ‘dragon’ is synonymous with the word ‘cherub’) was thrown down, that ancient serpent (a reference to Satan’s cherub Leviathan), who is called the devil (a deva) and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world— he was thrown down to the earth (to our Earth, where he currently resides), and his angels were thrown down with him (exiled to our Earth when his rebellion was defeated). And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for (Satan, a would be userper of God’s authority whose own false Christ is Azazel) the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent (the words ‘dragon’ and ‘serpent’ are synonymous with the word ‘cherub’), who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he (Satan) was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him… Woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you…” - Revelation 12:710,12 (Pertinent Quote: “Christianity agrees with Dualism that this universe is at war. But it does not think this is a war between independent powers. It thinks it is a civil war, a rebellion, and that we are living in a part of the universe occupied by the rebel.” – C.S. Lewis, 1943/1945 A.D)

In a long bygone day, a defeated Satan was thrown down to our Earth and his rebel angels were thrown down with him! They secretly reside here even today. While Azazel is interred within the recesses of the earth, Satan’s band of angels secret themselves within the water bodies of our world (for greater detail, see Evildoer Added to Evildoer: The Story of Satan, Azazel and the Rebellious Angels by John of the Gentiles). Indeed, The Testament of Kohath as found at Qumran speaks of: ‘…the eternal sinners (the rebel angels hidden)…in the 162

depths of the sea and in all the hollows of the earth.” Ancient Egyptian religious writings likewise speak of the “gods (Neteru) in the underworld” and the “gods (Neteru) in the watery deep” (See On the Hieratic Papyrus of Nesi-Amsu). Alien angels have visited our Earth and have in fact remained. It is likely some of Satan’s group of fallen angels today marry and are given in marriage as did their angelic campadres (Azazel and the angels who accompanied him, 200 in all) as related in Genesis 6:4. Angels have a long history of influencing events in the world in which we live, as the Biblical narrative attests. While shaping its history these rebel angels await God’s forthcoming Judgment, awaiting certain punishment, and have vowed to take along with them as many humans as they can. Those humans in league with the rebel angels will share in these angels’ destruction—earn a share in their everlasting pain. Let not the wise amongst thee falter. Fear not death—our birthright is the Kingdom of Heaven and death our bridge to eternity. We shall soar amongst the stars… (Authors Note: For practitioners of magic, the following false teaching will mark your eternal downfall, for: “…they say that after the fall of the Watchers there is to be a restoration [a concept known as Apocatastasis]. Then Azazel will regain his Heavenly estate and dwell once more in Paradise [a typically Gnostic belief]. Such is the promise whispered by these elder mysteries enshrined in the occult lore of antique Aegypt, Persia and Araby as practiced in the crypts of [Knights] Templar preceptories, the old vaults of the Freemasons, the shadowed lodges of cunning folk and the moonlit gatherings of witchdom.” – p.92 The Pillars of Tubal Cain by Nigel Jackson. Know that there shall be no restoration—you who are in league with them will share in their demise. The Book of Enoch itself records God’s sentence which was handed down to these angels: “Ye [Azazel and his band of fallen Watchers] have wrought great destruction on the earth: And ye shall have no peace nor forgiveness of sin…make supplication unto eternity, but mercy and peace thou shall not attain…” All hope of restoration has been in fact denied) Similarly: “Devil worshippers…believe that the Devil (Satan) rules the world and that the immediate rewards of his service are pleasure and power. After death they expect to be reborn on earth or, in some cases, they hope to go rejoicing to a hell which is not an infernal torture-chamber but a place where all pleasures are intensified and the capacity to experience them greatly increased. They believe that the Devil will eventually vanquish and overthrow the God of the Christians and return in triumph to the heaven from which the Christian God wrongfully rejected him. In that day Satan’s faithful flock will reap their reward of eternal power and eternal bliss.” – pp. 290-291 The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish. Though the fallen angels do in fact run this world today, they shall soon be vanquished upon Jesus Christ’s return. Remember: 163

“…the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” – Galatians 5:19-21

Chapter 5. Azazel: A European Love Affair According to the 33° Freemason Rudolph Steiner in Chapter V of Cosmic Energy, contact between these so-called Lemurians (read: the angels) and mankind “consisted in a kind of ‘thought reading.’” Writing in articles for his magazine entitled The Path, mystic Theosophist William Q. Judge (one of the original founding members of the Theosophical Society) under a variety of aliases professes the existence of “beings known to the inhabitants of Indians [India] as that of the Devas” ) (1890 A.D.) (the word ‘Deva’ is a cognate of the word ‘Devil.’ The Devas represent the rebellious fallen angels, and Judge asserts these angelic “Adepts” have in the past and are now “assisting all good movements by acting on men from behind the scenes through mental influence” (1893 A.D.) (this mental influence, the transference of actual ‘thoughts’ through ELF wave transmissions [through a form of microwave information transfer], is the ‘spirit of error’ of which The Bible speaks); “They (these angels) watch (a play on the word ‘Watchers’) the progress of man and help him on in his halting flight up the steep plane of progress” (1883 A.D.); that Judge and his fellow Theosophists “are working with and for the great unseen, but actual, Brotherhood” (Amazingly enough they actually profess to be working with and for Azazel’s group of fallen angels!) (1892 A.D.); that this Brotherhood of angelic “Adepts…consciously send messages from a distance” and “impress thoughts or sentences on the mind of another at a distance” [through a form of microwave ELF information transfer] (1892 A.D.), that this they do through telepathy: “Telepathy**…is the communicating of thought or idea from mind to mind. This is a natural power (a reference to these angels’ use of ELF [extremely low frequency] waves), and being well-understood may be used by one mind (that of an incarnate angel) to convey to another (conveying ‘thoughts’ to the human mind by pulsed microwaves through the employment of a Long Range Acoustic Device/LRAD) no matter how far away or what be the intervening obstacle, any idea or thought” (1894 A.D.) (This phenomenon is generally known today as the Frey Effect, aka the microwave auditory effect [aka the microwave auditive effect, Artificial Telepathy/Synthetic Telepathy and Voice to Skull (V2K) technology] as pioneered by Dr. Allan H. Frey in the 1960s. For more information see Microwave Auditory Effects and 165

Applications by Prof. James C. Lin, 1978 A.D.). To the Theosophist, such demonic possession is known by the pseudo-scientific designation of Overshadowing (as we learn from Annie Besant in Superhuman Men in History and in Religion circa. 1913 A.D.): “Overshadowing is the dominating of consciousness for a time by the Superhuman Helper (by the angel). The consciousness of the man is dominated (likely through the employment of low frequency infrasound accoustic psycho-correction techniques), not stimulated. The idea (implanted by the angel) dominates his thought, and becomes to him apparently his own (thought). Many a one (a human) is overshadowed by a Higher Being (an angel) who is not conscious of the source of the thoughts that come into his mind (it is for this reason Deuteronomy 21:18-21 mandates the death of a “rebellious son,” that by such a means “shalt thou put evil away from among you,” for such a person is open to the process of Overshadowing, to demonic possession [Pertinent Quote: “…rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft…” – 1Samuel 15:23]. It is not for naught God instructs you to behave in a certain way, that one may thereby avoid this Overshadowing trap)...these are breathed out from a higher consciousness (the angel) to a lower (a human), and they dominate the lower (human) and become its ideal. Ideals, those fixed ideas that guide and control conduct (which control the actions of an individual), constantly come from the overshadowing power...” (the word ‘power’ is synonymous with the word ‘angel.’ The ‘thought’ on which the person acts is conveyed to the human [via ELF wave information/data transfer] by the angel—the individual thereby serving as an avatar of sorts). Perhaps the people in the aluminum foil hats aren’t as crazy as everyone thinks. In fact Judge flatly states: “The Theosophical Society was founded in New York in 1875, with the avowed object of forming a nucleus for a Universal Brotherhood, and its founders state that they believe the Indian Mahatmas (the so-called ‘Indian Mahatmas’ are the rebellious fallen angels [Devas] with whom they were in contact) directed them to establish such a society.”- Echoes from the Orient Chapter I (William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.). Simply astounding! William Q. Judge and his associates were in contact with the rebellious fallen angels themselves; these angels had in fact “directed” Judge and his fellow co-founders “to establish” the Theosophical Society. The story of Colonel Henry Olcott’s own meeting with Helena Blavatsky which would directly lead to the Theosophical Society’s founding is related in The Romance of Sorcery. H.S. Olcott was at the time of his 166

introduction to Helena Blavatsky in 1874 A.D. a psychical researcher/paranormal investigator as well as “a student of practical psychology,” he being the former agricultural editor (1858 – 1860 A.D.) for the Carbonari/Youth Movement newspaper, the New York Tribune (as a correspondent for the Tribune he was present at the hanging of John Brown), who had served as a special commissioner in the U.S. War and Navy departments (1863 –1866 A.D. [and as such, quite possibly, an attendee of Lincoln family White House séances]). Sometime after this initial meeting, Olcott was the subject of a Close Encounter of the Fifth Angelic Kind: “Little by little she (Helena Blavatsky) opened out for me as much of the truth as my experience (as a Spiritualist/psychical researcher) had permitted me (H.S. Olcott) to grasp. Step by step I was forced to relinquish illusory beliefs, cherished for twenty years. And as the light (illumination) gradually dawned on my mind, my reverence for the unknown teachers (the fallen angels) who had instructed her grew apace. The time came when I was blessed with a visit from one of these Mahatmas (fallen angels) in my own room in New York…from that moment I had motive to live for, and end to strive after. That motive was to gain Aryan wisdom; that end to work for its dissemination.” Sadly, H.S. Olcott was not to heed the Biblical warning to be found in Galatians Chapter 1, that there would in the future come those who “would pervert the gospel of Christ,” that should even “an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you,” whether fallen or unfallen, it was not to be believed. Indeed, when The Bible speaks of ones ‘heart’ being ‘hardened’ it is indicative of the fact the individual had fallen into such an Overshadowed state, and as the infamous 16th Century witch hunter Nicholas Remy, Privy Councillor to Charles III, Duke of Lorraine, has noted in his book Demonolatry (1595 A.D.): “…experience has shown that they who have fallen into the power of the Demon can rarely be rescued except by death.” (** “The term telepathy is derived from two Greek words, and its literal meaning is ‘feeling at a distance,’ but it is now generally used almost synonymously with thought-transference, and may be taken to cover any transfer of an image, a thought or a sensation from one person to another (usually from an incarnate angel to a human).” This is also known as: “…‘mediation,’ in which the seer (acting as a medium) supposedly has mind-to-mind contact with Masters (angels) on the ‘inner planes’.” - p.157 Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism, Francis King, 1989 A.D. As explained in A Compleat System of Magic (1729 A.D.) p.118: “Dream and Midnight Vision...is the Method by which God himself often used to reveal himself to the Prophets and other of his most eminent Servants of old...the Devil, who is cunning enough to Imitate all Those Methods of Access to the Minds of Man which 'tis possible for him to come at him by, and which his Maker has used for like Communications, has always made use of this Method and when he has designed the Delusion, or the perplexing of Mankind, or any other of his infernal Infatuations, he 167

has brought them to pass by the Injection of evil Thoughts...” There is nothing mystical about this process—it is made physically possible by those who possess such advanced technological capabilities. For more information on this topic, see Evildoer Added to Evildoer by John of the Gentiles. Telepathy has been a subject of intense study: “Thought force concentration by a single individual can sometimes penetrate to another, even at a distance. We call this telepathy, and the work exploring this human gift is generally covered under the heading of extrasensory perception, or ESP.” – Witchcraft p.195 by Hans Holzer. You will notice many of the people in our story are involved in such psychical research. It is possible for the angels to know one’s thoughts, the angels also being capable of thought-transference. And when the angels read the mind of a man which is to these angels an open book and transfer these thoughts to the mind of another, such a man styles himself a psychic and puffs his self up proudly, thinking himself a mind-reader. Such is the absurdity of psychical research and the nature of the games these fallen angels play)

It is through this process of thought-tranference by which: “The members of the Brotherhood, through Their agents, are constantly trying to work with the important people of the world, putting advice and suggestions into their minds” - The Inner Life (First Series) by C. W. Leadbeater (Rudolph Steiner also wrote of this thought-transference process, writing of “Ahrimanic powers working…through human minds,” concluding, “a great part of mankind today is already under the control…of Ahrimanic forces…” The Ahrimanic Deception by Rudolph Steiner, 1919 A.D.) (Frank L. Hammer provides an interesting take on this subject in Chapter VI of his book entitled Life and Its Mysteries [1945 A.D.])

In this way the alien angels influence human events, political, scientific, economic and otherwise! Helena P. Blavatsky (who was incidently the daughter of a Russian army colonel) describes the thought-transference process as she had experienced it: “Every word of [esoteric] information found in my writings comes from the teachings of our Eastern Masters (read: from the rebellious fallen angels); and many a passage in these works has been written by me under their dictation (through automatism). In saying this no supernatural** claim is urged, for no miracle is performed by such a dictation. Space and distance do not exist for thought; and if two persons are in perfect mutual psycho-magnetic rapport (perhaps she refers to ‘brainwave synchronization’/’brainwave entrainment’ through ‘sympathetic resonance’), and of these two, one is a great Adept in Occult Sciences (read: physics), then thought-transference 168

and dictation of whole pages, become as easy and as comprehensible at the distance of ten thousand miles as the transference of two words across a room.” - HPB, "My Books," Lucifer, May, 1891 (**Pertinent Quote: “…nothing on this plane is supernatural. What we see now, and what we have read of in ages past, is but the operation of law which has not yet been studied and defined.” - The History of Spiritualism Vol I by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1926 A.D.)

Per Dione Fortune: “Much has been written in recent years concerning those who are called the Masters…Divine Beings and supermen with whom it is possible for humanity to come into touch… the Lords of Mind…by means of suggestion or thought-transference, planted IDEAS in human consciousness…” – The Esoteric Orders and their Work by Dione Fortune Per William Q. Judge: “To communicate with another mind at any distance the Adept (an angel) attunes all the molecules of the brain and all the thoughts of the mind so as to vibrate in unison with the mind to be affected (perhaps through the Law of Entrainment), and that other mind and brain have also to be either voluntarily thrown into the same unison or fall into it voluntarily (Brainwave Entrainment). So though the Adept (angel) be at Bombay and his (human) friend in New York, the distance is no obstacle, as the inner senses are not dependent on an ear, but may feel and see the thoughts and images in the mind of the other person. And when it is desired to look into the mind and catch the thoughts of another and the pictures all around him of all he has thought and looked at, the Adept’s (angel’s) inner sight (think: the All-Seeing eye) and hearing are directed to the mind to be seen, when at once all is visible.” (The angels can, as it were, read minds, as if it were a spoken word [See Hebrews 4:12-13, Psalms 94:10-11, 1Chronicles 28:9, and Jeremiah 20:12] and can also ‘see’ everything the Overshadowed person sees [akin to remote viewing], as well as direct the actions of that person by programming his thoughts, and all in real time! One can certainly understand the military’s interest in developing such technology) - The Ocean of Theosophy by William Q. Judge, 1893 A.D. (As expressed in Chapter 4 of America’s Subversion: The Enemy Within by Sonny René Stermole, the book being a treatise on Freemasonry: “The Kundalini serpent force ending in ‘illumination’ of the brain by Lucifer, having Lucifer or Satan intensely impress thoughts upon one’s brain, is what is considered to achieve occult ‘redemption,’ ancient ‘Wisdom’” (Author’s Note: Such men thus led by “the spirit of error” were said to be Illuminated/Illuminati). The word 169

‘kundalini’ is Sanskrit for ‘snake,’ in this case the serpent/snake is analogous of the electromagnetic wave, yet more specifically, and in relation to Satan’s “flaming darts” (See Ephesians 6:16) referring to an electromagnetic wave of a specific wavelength/frequency (ELF waves), whereby he implants thoughts within the minds of men. This is known variously as thought-transference and to a greater extreme Overshadowing. Indeed, the race is now on to develop such technology: “The race now is to discover how thought transference occurs and how it can be made to happen at will…What is likely to happen when thought transference is perfected? Undoubtedly it is going to be valuable; it may be the perfect means for communication (such practices were in particularly being studied as a means for communicating with nuclear submarines submerged beneath the polar icecaps). On the other hand, it could be a bizarre new weapon. It is conceivable that spies could be trained to read the minds of people at a great distance (the U.S. government indeed ran such a program it called ESPionage). Too, in wartime, it could be a great power, with unnerving thoughts and false information beamed to the enemy. Perhaps, used by a dictatorial regime, it could mean the end of freedom.” – pp. 81-82 Diary of a Witch by Sybil Leek, 1968 A.D. And, to be sure, one may through this technology prompt an individual Overshadowed in such a way to wholly do one’s bidding, including the carrying out of political assassinations. You’ll be interested to know that as the reader shall later discover, black magic practicing secret agents ensconced in U.S. Intelligence agencies including the NSA and the CIA have for over 40 years been working to develop such ‘Human Potential’ technologies as thought-transference and ‘do as thou wilt’ is the whole of their law. We will discuss this subject later in deeper detail. Out of the CIA’s super secretive magic-based Human Potential Movement grew the U.S. military’s First Earth Battalion based on a globalist New Age (read: Theosophical Society-influenced) military concept initiated by one Lt. Colonel Jim Channon (aka the “shaman-consultant”) in the late 1970s which incorporated black magic practices, yoga, and psychic warfare into a military unit designed to act on intelligence garnered from Otherworldly spirits during Spiritualist sѐances and remote-viewing excercises. Its troopers were known as Warrior Monks. As we additionally learn concerning the military’s use of magic practices from a former Intelligence agent named W. Adam Mandelbaum in his book The Psychic Battlefield: “Whereas the ancient shaman painted wall caves, predicting successful hunts, and danced before tribal fires to contact the spirits, the modern-day magus sits on his CIA-issue couch and sends his government-trained astral body into the ether in search of (human) prey” (for more information see Psychic Warrior [1997 A.D.] by David Morehouse who had likewise been trained by the CIA as a remote-viewer for the purposes of spying and intelligence gathering).

It is the fallen angels of whom the President of the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society A.P. Sinnett (who, as must be noted, replaced Anna Kingsford in this capacity) in Chapter II of his book The Occult World (1881 A.D.) spoke when he wrote of: “…the adepts (the rebellious fallen angels) as they now exist, or, to use the designation more generally employed in India, of ‘the Mahatmas’ … constitute a Brotherhood, or Secret Association, which ramifies all over the East, but the principal seat of which for the present I gather to be in Tibet.” He goes on to say: “Madame (Helena P.) Blavatsky is constantly in communication, by means of the system of psychological telegraphy (telepathy/thought-transference) that the initiates employ, with her superior ‘Brothers’ in occultism…the Brothers (the rebellious fallen angels)…have been at work with her…dictating through…her 170

brain…” her book Isis Unveiled by means of the “…deific powers which the Brothers enjoy,” or, more to the truth, by the advanced technology they are able to employ. Such an enterprise is commonly known as ‘automatic writing.’ In fact, A.P. Sinnett himself in the Second Edition of The Occult World also confessed to having himself received “…direct revelation from the Brothers (from the rebellious fallen angels).” He identified one of the angelic “Bothers” with who he and Blavatsky were in contact as being the Mahatma Koot Hoomi (aka Kuthumi and Master K. H.). It is Azazel’s group of fallen angels of which the Rosicrucians speak (circa. 1617 A.D.) when they obfuscate the following: “As far as the Collegium is concerned…The brethren (read: the brotherhood) are nearer unto thee than thou thinkest…they are…Theosophi.” - The Mirror of the Wisdom of the Rosicrucians (aka Speculum Sophicum Rhodostauroticum) (Theosophi means “wise [soph] gods [theoi]” in reference to the angels) From this group of “Theosophi” composed of Azazel and his fellow rebellious fallen angels is derived the name of the Theosophical Society, which is named in their honor. This so-called “Collegium” of “Theosophi” of which the Rosicrucians speak is also the sub-earthly Ahrimanic school spoken of in Rudolph Steiner’s Anthroposophy Spiritualist movement (Steiner’s teachings are largely based upon Rosicrucian alchemist Thomas Vaughan’s Anthroposophia Theomagica, Or a Discourse of the Nature of Man and his State after Death [1648 A.D.]), a society with links to Annie Besant and the greater Theosophical Movement (Ahriman was a Persian god who represented the Genesis serpent Azazel: “In Persia…it was the serpent [which represented the angel Azazel], who, under the name of Ahriman, formed the basis of the system of Zoroaster; and it is the same serpent who, among the Jews and Christians, tempted Eve, the celestial virgin…” - A General History of Freemasonry p. 392, Rebold, 1879 A.D.). As we learn from Prospects: the quarterly review of comparative education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education [the UNESCO Headquartersbuilding, founded in 1958 A.D., is located in Paris, France on the Left Bank of the River Seine]), vol.XXIV, no. 3/4, 1994, p. 555-572. (©UNESCO: International Bureau of Education, 2000): “In 1913, (Rudolph) Steiner (as Secretary-General, Steiner was 171

at this time head of the German Section of the Theosophical Society) parted company with Annie Besant (and the Theosophical Society), above all because of their conceptual differences in regard to the esoteric interpretation of the life of Jesus Christ (as well, it must be noted, of the concept of the imminent coming of the World-Teacher including the adoption of J. Krishnamurti as Lord Matreya’s earthly avatar. Rudolph Steiner himself was of the Roman Catholic faith and his Christian slant clashed with the goal of Blavatsky’s society which was the destruction of Christianity). With the majority of his German followers (most of whom were, under Steiner, members of the German Section of the Theosophical Society), he went on to found the Anthroposophical Society” which would eventually include thousands of members worldwide. Rudolph Steiner (1861–1925 A.D.) was world-famous for his Masonic and Rosicrucian based teachings. In An Outline of Occult Science Chapter VIII (Rudolph Steiner, 1922 A.D.) Steiner professes the existence of “beings of the world of soul and spirit who influence from hidden worlds the outer manifested world,” and that a person who is so attuned “receives influences” from these beings, that the “beings of the spiritual world convey them (these “influences”) to him.” Steiner professed much of humanity to be under the influence of these ‘Ahrimanic’ forces. Steiner’s Anthroposophy was indeed a part of the greater Spiritualism Movement, a spiritual system built not from a religious viewpoint but rather one that was inherently scientific. Steiner was by education first and foremost a scientist and mathematician. Apparently, mediaeval Kabalists passed along the knowledge of the existence of Azazel’s group of fallen angels being present upon our Earth to students of philosophy and of the esoteric arts as Theosophist Madame Blavatsky writes in 1888 A.D. in her book entitled The Secret Doctrine (Volume II p. 284)** concerning the Great White Brotherhood of rebellious fallen angels: “The mediæval Kabalists knew this well, since one of them did not fear to write: “‘The Kabala was first taught by God himself to a select Company of Angels who formed a theosophic school in Paradise. After the FALL the Angels most graciously communicated this heavenly doctrine to the disobedient child of Earth (fallen man), to furnish the protoplasts with the means of returning to their pristine nobility and felicity’ (Quoted by Christian Ginsburg from the Kabala). This shows how the event — of the Sons of God (angels), marrying and imparting the divine Secrets 172

of Heaven to the daughters of men — allegorically told by Enoch (speaks of The Book of Enoch [IEnoch]) and in the sixth chapter of Genesis (See Genesis 6:4) was interpreted by the Christian Kabalists.” Blavatsky quoted British Hebrew and Biblical scholar Christian D. Ginsburg in his book entitled The Kabbalah (1863 A.D.): “The Kabala was first taught by God Himself to a select company of angels, who formed a theosophic school in Paradise. After the Fall the angels most graciously communicated this heavenly doctrine to the disobedient child of earth, to furnish the protoplasts with the means of returning to their pristine nobility and felicity. From Adam it passed over to Noah, and then to Abraham, the friend of God, who emigrated with it to Egypt, where the patriarch allowed a portion of this mysterious doctrine to ooze out. It was in this way that the Egyptians obtained some knowledge of it, and the other Eastern nations could introduce it into their philosophical systems. Moses, who was learned in all the wisdom of Egypt, [as] first initiated into the Kabala in the land of his birth, but became most proficient in it during his wanderings in the wilderness, when he not only devoted to it the leisure hours of the whole forty years, but received lessons in it from one of the angels. By the aid of this mysterious science the lawgiver was enabled to solve the difficulties which arose during his management of the Israelites, in spite of the pilgrimages, wars, and frequent miseries of the nation. He covertly laid down the principles of this secret doctrine in the first four books of the Pentateuch, but withheld them from Deuteronomy…Moses also initiated the seventy Elders into the secrets of this doctrine, and they again transmitted them from hand to hand. Of all who formed the unbroken line of tradition, David and Solomon were most deeply initiated into the Kabala. No one, however, dared to write it down till Simon Ben Jochai, who lived at the time of the destruction of the second Temple…After his death, his son, Rabbi Eliezer, and his secretary, Rabbi Abba as well as his disciples, collated Rabbi Simon Ben Jochai's treatises, and out of these composed the celebrated work called Sohar (The Zohar), i.e., Splendor which is the grand storehouse of Kabalism (“The Zohar is the Book of Splendor, -- the book of the ‘shining ones’ (angels)…” – The Blazing Star by William B. Green 1872 A.D. The Zohar is the book of the angels! Notable quote by Rabbi Eliezer, son of the Rabbi Simon Ben Jochai whose treatises form the Zohar: “The Angels who fell from Heaven saw the daughters of Cain…and, being seduced, took wives from among them.” - Rabbi Eliezer).” (** “…the Kabbalah of the ancient Hebrews, which Moses 173

derived by initiation into the mysteries of Egypt and Persia, and which [33° Freemason Albert] Pike and many others declare was identical among the Hebrews, the Egyptians, Hindus and other nations of antiquity, was known as the Secret Doctrine… the Secret Doctrine was the real foundation of every great religion known to man… the Secret Doctrine…is the Primitive Wisdom Religion. It is everywhere and at all times essentially the same…” - Mystic Masonry by 33° Freemason J.D. Buck, President of the American Section of the Theosophical Society)

This statement is repeated nearly word for word by the Rosicrucian S.R.I.A.-member S.L. MacGregor Mathers in the Introduction to Mathers’ own 1912 A.D. translation (entitled Kabbala Denudata: The Kabbalah Unveiled) of an earlier work entitled The Kabbalah Denudata Vol I (Published in 1677 A.D.) Vol II (Published in 1684 A.D.) of Christian Knorr von Rosenroth (aka Baron von Rosenroth; pseudonym Peganius Rautner [this book is considered Lurian Kabbala. The main goal of Lurian Kabala as promulgated by the Ashkenazi German-Jew Isaac Luria [1534-1572 A.D.] is the hastening of the coming of the Messiah (See p.191 Fallen Angels: The Soldiers of Satan’s Realm by Bernard J. Bamberger, 1952 A.D.)]), the Silesian-born German Evangelical Theosophist: “The Kabbalah was first taught by God himself to a select company of angels, who formed a theosophic school in Paradise. After the Fall the angels (“first taught by God himself”) most graciously communicated this heavenly doctrine to the disobedient child of earth, to furnish the protoplasts with the means of returning to their pristine nobility and felicity. From Adam it passed over to Noah, and then to Abraham, the friend of God, who emigrated with it to Egypt, where the patriarch allowed a portion of this mysterious doctrine to ooze out. It was in this way that the Egyptians obtained some knowledge of it, and the other Eastern nations could introduce it into their philosophical systems. Moses, who was learned in all the wisdom of Egypt,** was first initiated into the Qabalah in the land of his birth, but became most proficient in it during his wanderings in the wilderness, when he not only devoted to it the leisure hours of the whole forty years, but received lessons in it from one of the angels. By the aid of this mysterious science the law−giver was enabled to solve the difficulties which arose during his management of the Israelites, in spite of the pilgrimages, wars, and frequent miseries of the nation.

No one, however, dared to write it down, till Schimeon Ben Jochai, who lived at the time of the destruction of the second temple…After his death, his son, Rabbi Eleazar, and his secretary, Rabbi Abba, as well as his disciples, collated Rabbi Simon Ben Jochai's treatises, and out of these composed the celebrated work called ZHR, Zohar, (the book of) splendour, which is the grand storehouse of Kabbalism.” (** Pertinent Quote: “The Rosicrucian revival of Mysticism was but a new development of the vastly older wisdom of the Qabalistic Rabbis and of that very ancient secret knowledge, the Magic of the Egyptians, in which the Hebrew Pentateuch tells you that Moses the founder of the Jewish system was ‘learned’ [See Acts 7:22], that is, in which he had been initiated.” – p.64 The Eye in the Triangle by Israel Regardie) (Gerald B. Gardner quotes from The Kabbalah Unveiled in his book entitled The Meaning of Witchcraft (p.29) noting it is a “witch tradition” that from such Kabbalistic magic-practicing “Jews that the witches got to know of the Qabalah, and obtained many of their ideas of the Jewish mystical and magical traditions, upon which most mediaeval magic was founded.”) (“It is hoped that the esotericism of the original Chaldean Qabbãlãh (the occult basis of the Hebrew Qabbãlãh) will be recognized for what it is: one of the theosophies of antiquity, inherited by the Hebrews from the ancient Chaldeans, who received this ‘theosophy of the angels’ from the Council of the Wise [Wica].” – Forward to Theosophy in the Qabbalah [published by The Theosophical Society Pasadena, California, USA February 15, 2006]) (King James, to whom we owe thanks for his King James Version [KJV] of The Bible, surmises in Book I of his Daemonologie [1597 A.D]: “Moses being brought up (as it is expressly said in the Scriptures) in all the sciences of the Egyptians**…affirming Moses to be taught in all the sciences of the Egyptians, should conclude that he was taught in Magie [in ‘Magic,’ the science of the Magi].”) (The eminent Rosicrucian Theophilus Schweighart’s signature work The Mirror of the Wisdom of the Rosicrucians [Speculum Sophicum Rhodostauroticum, circa 1616 A.D.] expounds teachings which were according to Schweighart originally reputedly revealed “through the mediation of the Elohim,” the Elohim being of course, the angels, albeit of the fallen variety, with Rosicrucianism being but a then-modern Germanic incarnation of the finest ancient Mystery school tradition. It was said the founding father of Rosicrucianism himself founded his secret society after traveling to the Middle East and there studying extensively the secrets revealed to him by those of the “Wise (Wicca)men”/Magi tradition. Indeed, it is revealed by the author of the Fama Fraternitatis [first published in Cassel, Germany, a center of the Protestant Reformation, circa 1611 A.D.]: “Our Philosophy also is not a new invention, but as Adam after his fall hath received it, and as Moses and Solomon used it…wherein Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras and others did hit the mark, and wherein Enoch, Abraham, Moses, Solomon did excel; but especially wherewith that wonderful book the Bible agreeth,” with at least one [but most probably all] of the founding members of Rosicrucianism being according to the Fama Fraternitatis “well learned in Cabala.” Rosicrucians were Christian mystics, Reformation Protestants well versed in Cabalism) (Pertinent Quote: “We must remember that Rosicrucianism itself was 'no new thing' but only a revival of still earlier forms of [magical] Initiation and was a lineal descendant of the Philosophies of the Chaldean Magi, of the Egyptian priests, of the Neo-Platonists, of the Hermetists of Alexandria [in Egypt], of the Jewish Kabalists and of Christian Kabalists such as Raymond Lully and Pico de Mirandola.” – p.40 The Magical Mason by R.A. Gilbert, 1983 A.D.) (** “The learning of the Egyptians was confined chiefly to astrology, to the interpretation of dreams, to medicine, to mathematics, and 175

to their sacred science [alchemy] or traditional doctrines about religion, which were concealed chiefly under their hieroglyphics… It is known that science was carried from Egypt to Phoenicia, and thence to Greece; and not a few of the Grecian philosophers [including Plato] traveled to Egypt in pursuit of knowledge. Herodotus himself frankly concedes that the Greeks derived very much of their knowledge [Gnosis] from Egypt. (See Rawlinson's Herodotus, Vol. 2, pp. 80,81; Herodotus, book 2, pp. 50,51.)” – Barnes’ Notes on the O.T. and N.T.)

Elias Gewurz (circa 1922 A.D.) writes of Azazel and his assembly of rebel angels and how this group may in fact be contacted in his Theosophic work entitled Mysteries of the Qabalah, with Gewurz explaining “The Brotherhood of the White Lodge (also known as “the Masters of Wisdom”) is a body of great men (read: an assembly of incarnate fallen angels)” who “watch (a play on the word ‘Watchers’) over humanity from their exalted (spiritual) planes” (one of the main tenets in magic, as we learn from Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism, is there “are other planes than the physical and other intelligences than those in physical incarnation. Man is regarded as being half-way up the ladder of evolution not at its top.”). Gewurz’s book states that “the White Lodge has its representatives on earth, its messengers (again, a play on words. Angels are known as the ‘messengers’ of God) and teachers, and pupils (by definition, a Collegium),” and how it was possible that certain individuals may become “channels” (mediums) for The Brotherhood of the White Lodge, for a “man to become a servant of the great Lords (a servent of the rebellious angels) and co-operate with them here on earth,” such individuals being made “to serve faithfully the Masters of Wisdom” and thereby becoming “messengers of the White Lodge” (See Mysteries of the Qabalah Part I: The Brotherhood of the White Lodge. This book is classified Hermetic Qabalah). As he explains, such an individual in this way “becomes a cooperator with those high intelligences whom we call Masters (these masters are angels), and, under Their guidance and with their help, he continues his career, ever upward, and ever onward, until he enters the presence of the Ancient of Ancients, the merciful Teacher of Gods, angels and men” (See Chapter 8 of Hidden Treasures of the Ancient Qabalah by Elias Gewurz, 1918 A.D.). (Asserts the British Jung-influenced psychotherapist, occultist and Thesophical Society/Stella Matutina/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member Dion Fortune [founder of the Society of the Inner Light] in The Mystical Qabalah: “…the first Qabalists…were angels.” She herself professed to be in contact with them as well) (Pertinent Quote: “Satan obliges himself to 176

the greatest of Magicians…he will oblige himself to teach them arts and sciences, which he may easily do, being so learned a knave as he is.” - Book I Daemonologie by King James 1597 A.D. And indeed, the great ceremonial magician/alchemist/Spiritist Dr. John Dee himself: “…had studied deeply the mysteries of the Cabala and the Talmud, and these had impressed him with the belief that it would be possible for him to hold converse with spirits and angels, and to learn from them the secrets of the universe.” – p.114 The Romance of Sorcery) Gewurz explains: “They (the angels) are always affiliated to those organizations on earth whose members are single-minded, and true hearted and genuinely desirous of the welfare of the race (in such a way they masquerade as ‘angels of light’). Especially are they interested in the advancement of science, philosophy and religion, and all public bodies promoting these subjects are helped (without knowing whence the help cometh) by the Brotherhood of the White Lodge (helped by Azazel’s group of angels, which conveys this knowledge to them through the broadcast of ELF waves, a process also known as Overshadowing. One may argue whether many geniuses such as Albert Einstein may have received their ideas through the process of Overshadowing/thought-transference [Pertinent Quote: “There is some historical record of occultists receiving very advanced technical information via contact with spirits. Jacques Bergier records a large number of cases involving supernatural beings, or ‘creatures of light,’ whose sole desire was to impart advanced knowledge of philosophy and various academic data. They appeared in large numbers during the five centuries between 1000 and 1500 A.D. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries they appeared in connection with the Freemasons, a group which later held a belief in extraterrestrial life.” – UFOs: What on Earth is Happening by Weldon/Levitt, 1975 A.D.]). For the last three decades (from the 1890’s to the 1920’s) there has been a steady and growing increase of knowledge in all departments of human activity. Inventions have multiplied, and discoveries of unsuspected laws of nature are being made on every hand. Philosophic and scientific thought has never been so abundant and so brilliant as it is today, but the receivers of the gifts know not the givers (the ‘givers’ are the extraterrestrial rebellious angels), and often frustrate the gracious purposes which were to be served by the bestowal of the gifts.” - Mysteries of the Qabalah by Elias Gewurz, 1922 A.D.: Part I: 177

The Brotherhood of the White Lodge) {The “Collegium” of “Theosophi” is also known as “The Great School of Natural Science,” (the terms ‘natural science’ and ‘natural magic’ are virtually synonymous; René Guénon refers to the scientific aspects of the teachings of the angels as a “sacred science.” The oldest ‘Natural Science’ school in the New World is the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University [founded 1812 A.D.] located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which is affiliated with Benjamin Franklin’s American Philosophical Society) “a school which was hoary of age when the foundation of the great Pyramid was laid; a School which ante-dates all present authentic history and records” (See Modern World Movements by J.D. Buck, 1913 A.D.). The group is also known as the “Venerable Brotherhood of India”} (“The organizations of Adepts and Masters [read: fallen angels] are usually divided into lodges, schools, degrees, hierarchies, and brotherhoods. According to most of the literature on the subject, the lodge is the place of meeting, the school indicates the work upon which they are engaged, the degree determines the rank attained or capacity exercised, the hierarchy represents the race to which they belong, and the brotherhood the relationship between all the lodges, schools, degrees, and hierarchies.” - The Path of Attainment by D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D.)

A 17th Century Rosicrucian document explains how: “…they (Philosophers) have established the existence of mortal beings between the gods (angels) and man to whom one can ascribe all that surpasses human weakness yet falls short of divine greatness (also known as demi-gods, angel/human hybrids). This is the opinion held in every ancient philosophy. The Platonists and the Pythagoreans took it from the Egyptians, and the latter from Joseph the Saviour, and from the Hebrews who dwelt in Egypt before the crossing of the Red Sea. The Hebrews used to call these beings who are between the Angels and man Sadaim, and the Greeks, transposing the letters and adding but one syllable, called them Daimonas (the Greek term ‘daimonas’ was used to denote both angel/human hybrids and the fallen angels). Among the ancient Philosophers these demons (the rebellious fallen angels) were held to be an Aerial Race, ruling over the Elements, mortal, engendering, and unknown in this century to those who rarely seek Truth in her ancient dwelling place, which is to say, in the Cabala and in the theology of the Hebrews, who possessed the special art of holding communion with that Aerial People and of conversing with all these Inhabitants of the Air (who were, according to de Villars: “…creatures of human form…great lovers of the sciences…eager to serve the sage…”** – p.37 The Romance of Sorcery).” - The Comte De Gabalis by Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars Discourse III, originally published in 1670 A.D. (“if…a man has the natural disposition, he may by the power of his soul communicate with the divine and angelic world…” – p.12 The History of Magic Volume I by Joseph Ennemoser, 1854 A.D.) (**Pertinent Quote: “You cannot name one science which has not been itself a rebellion… the natural sciences, the observatory, the museum, the botanical garden, the schools of medicine, and all the modern libraries… All these novelties came of [the great rebel] Satan… He…created chemistry, physics, mathematics ay, even 178

mathematics… Medicine especially was a Satanic thing…” – p.397 La Sorciere by J. Michelet, 1862 A.D.)

Another product of the American Spiritualist Movement was a tract entitled ‘A Message to All Mystics: The Hindu Magic Mirror’ (1910 A.D.) by the Chicago native, Freemason, publisher and mail order supplier of magic and occult products Dr. L. W. De Laurence which delivers a purported “message” from an “unseen” “astral brotherhood of magic,” “an occult organization” with the which one may in fact “communicate directly and personally with the unseen Brotherhood.” The unseen brotherhood is of course Azazel’s group of rebel angels. They even offer an invitation for mystics to communicate with them. The 1898 A.D. Hahn & Whitehead, Chicago edition of Three Books of Occult Philosophy or Magic by the Famous Mystic Henry Cornellius Agrippa contains an addendum entitled The Magic Mirror which includes instructions for the creation and use of such a “Magic Mirror (derived from the mirror Maja of the Magi, also known as the Eternal Mirror of Wonders; originally it was believed a genii/demon/spirit might be entrapped within such a devise), that wonderful instrument so long used by advanced mystics for communication between the two worlds.” While the Magic Mirror itself may be constructed cheaply, the steep price you pay is your soul. Of an interesting note, Sir Walter Scott, while making a “few general remarks on the nature of Demonology, and the original cause of the almost universal belief in communication betwixt mortals and beings of a power superior to themselves” in Letter X of Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft (1830 A.D.) relates how it was supposed through “correspondence with the various spirits of the elements, on the principles of the Rosicrucian philosophy” a practitioner of magic might “bind to their service, and imprison in a ring, a mirror, or a stone (such as an emerald, a crystal or a diamond), some fairy, sylph, or salamander (these are folkloric representations of fallen angels/spirits), and compel it to appear when called, and render answers to such questions as the viewer should propose.” As Scott explains: “Dr. (John) Dee, an excellent mathematician (as well as an astronomer/astrologer/ceremonial magician/Spiritualist), had a stone of this kind,** and is said to have been imposed upon concerning the spirits attached to it, their actions and answers, by the report of one (Edward) Kelly who acted as his viewer (medium)…His show−stone or mirror is still preserved among other curiosities in the British 179

Museum.” (** Pertinent Quote: “…it was popularly supposed that familiar spirits could be enclosed in rings, or confined in bottles and boxes, just as the Persians thought that djinns could be kept in jars and flasks.” – p.74 The Black Art by Rollo Ahmed) In the Commentary section of Comte De Gabalis by Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars (1913 A.D.) (portions of the work were originally published in 1670 A.D.) Commentary I we find the following selection concerning Azazel and his group of rebellious fallen angels (it must be noted this book, as well as The Book of Enoch from whence this passage originated and from which I have previously quoted, played an important role in the literary progression toward a proper 19th - 20th Century Theosophical Movement): “BOOK OF ENOCH: “Enoch the great grandfather of Noah, who had that surname (Edris) from his great knowledge, for he was favoured with no less than thirty books of divine revelations, and was the first who wrote with a pen, and studied the sciences of astronomy and arithmetic.” This quotation is an approved Muhammedan commentary upon the following references to Enoch in the Koran. “And remember Edris in the same book; for he was a just person and a prophet, and we exalted him to a high place.” SURA 19, MARY. “The History which follows is taken from Dr. Grabe's Spicilegium Patrum (Oxford, 1698 A.D.), and supposed by him to be the Genuine Work of Enoch the Patriarch, whose Name it bears. Many of the first Fathers of the Church were of this Opinion, who often produce Citations out of it, and allow it to be of the best Authority. Tertullian, speaking of the Habit of Women, uses this Expression. The same Angels who introduc’d Gold and Silver, and the mixture of Colours, which advance the Lustre of Female Beauty, are now condemn’d by God, as Enoch informs us. Clemens Alexandrinus discoursing (in The Clementine Homilies Homily VIII Chapters XII - XV) upon the disobedient Angels, agrees to the Testimony of Enoch, and says, That the Rebellious Spirits (read: the rebellious angels) were the Inventors of Astronomy and Divination, as Enoch delivers the Account. And St. Jude (who cites a Prophecy out of the Writings of Enoch in the fourteenth and fifteenth Verses of his Epistle) may be supposed to have recourse to this Fragment before us, when he records in the Sixth Verse (See Jude 6), That the Angels who kept not their first Estate, but left their own Habitation, are reserv’d in Everlasting Chains under 180

Darkness, unto the Judgment of the Great Day.” THE HISTORY OF THE WATCHMEN, (Or the Angels). WRITTEN BY ENOCH THE PATRIARCH (See The Book of Enoch): And it came to pass, when the Sons of Men were increas’d, that very Beautiful Daughters were born to them: With these the Watchmen (the Watchers/angels) were in Love, and burnt with Desire toward them, which drew them into many Sins and Follies. They communed with themselves: “Let us, say they, choose us Wives out of the Daughters of Men upon the Earth.” Semiazas, their Prince, made Answer: “I fear, says he, you will not execute your Resolution; and so I shall derive upon myself alone the Guilt of this Impiety.” They all reply’d, and said; “We will bind ourselves with an Oath to perform our Purpose, and invoke dreadful Imprecations upon our Heads, if we depart from our Enterprize before it be accomplished.” So they oblig’d themselves with an Oath; and implored an Arrest of Vengeance upon one another (oaths of the sort the Freemasons traditionally employ). They (the angels) were two Hundred, who in the Days of Jared came down upon the Top of Mount Hermon. The Mountain receiv’d that Name from the Oath by which they bound themselves, and the Imprecations they wilfully submitted themselves under. The Names of their Princes were these: 1. Semiazas, the Chief of them. 2. Atarcuph. 3. Araciel. 4. Chobabiel. 5. Horammame. 6. Ramiel.7. Sampsich. 8. Zaciel. 9. Balciel. 10. Azazel. 11. Pharmarus. 12. Amariel. 13. Anagemas. 14. Thausael. 15. Samiel. 16. Sarinas. 17. Eumiel. 18. Tyriel. 19. Jumiel. 20. Sariel. These (angels), and all the rest of them, took to themselves Wives… and were inflam’d with Lust toward them till the Flood. The Offspring of these Women were of three sorts: The first race were Giants, or Tall Men: They begat the Naphelims, and from them came the Eliudæans; and their Number increased, according to the Proportion of their Bodies. They instructed their Wives and Children in Sorcery and Enchantments. Azazel, the Tenth in the Order of the Princes, was the first inventor of Swords and Breastplates, and all Military Appointments (as such he is hailed as the ‘god of war’): He taught his Posterity the Art of extracting (mining) Metals out of the Earth, and the Curiosity of working in Gold and Silver (metalworking), to make Ornaments and Female Decorations: He directed and shew’d them to polish, and give a Lustre to choice Stones (such as diamonds), and to Colours: The Sons of Men soon furnish’d themselves and their Daughters with these Vanities; and breaking through the Commands of God, they drove the Pious and Just into Miscarriages (related to this is 181

the Cimaruta [in Latin meaning ‘sprig of rue,’ rue being a plant sacred to the goddess Diana, the queen of Italian witches], a type of magic charm used in Italy as protection from the evil eye [it also served as a sign of membership in the witch-cult]. Per Wikipedia: “…the refined oil of rue was cited by the Roman historian Pliny the Elder and the gynecologist Soranus as a potent abortifacient (inducing abortion). Rue contains pilocarpine which is used in horses to induce abortion.” ** This knowledge originated with these fallen angels; abortions were considered to be a form of human sacrifice. In America circa 2014 A.D., some 56 million babys have been aborted since Roe vs. Wade was decided back in 1973 A.D.); insomuch that a monstrous Appearance of Impiety stalk’d over the Face of the whole Earth. Semiazas, their Prince, discover’d the Art of Hatred, to reserve Envy in the Mind, and to infuse Misfortunes upon others by the Roots of Herbs. Pharmarus, the Eleventh Prince, found out Witchcraft, Charms, and Enchantments. The Ninth revealed the Course of the Stars (astronomy). The Fourth the Science of Astrology. The Eighth the Inspection of the Air. The Third of the Earth. The Seventh of the Sun. The Twentieth explain’d the Signs of the Moon. All of them (all of the angels) display’d (revealed) these Secrets of Knowledge to their Wives and Sons. The Giants soon after began to feed upon Human Flesh, which made the number of Men to decrease, and sensibly to decay. Those who were left being harass’d with so many Instances of Wickedness, (they) raised their Voice to Heaven, and implor’d, That their Memory might be preserv’d in the Sight of God. The Four Great Archangels, Michael, Uriel (it is Uriel, aka the ‘Prince of the Torah,’ who is said to have revealed the Kabala to mankind), Raphael, and Gabriel (these four angels are commonly invoked in magic rituals and spells and the names of these guardian angels appear as sigils upon protective talismans as well), being affected with their Cries, look’d down upon Earth from the Holiness of Heaven; and beholding a general Effusion of Blood, and a Spirit of Universal Impiety, had this Communication among themselves: “The Spirits and Souls of Men implore our Aid, in Agonies of Sorrow; Introduce (they cry) our Prayers to the Highest.” Then the Four Archangels calling upon God, deliver'd themselves thus: “Thou art God of Gods and Lord of Lords, King of Kings, and God of Men: The Throne of thy Glory endures to all Ages, and thy Name is Holy and Blessed for evermore; for Thou art the Creator of all things; Thy Power is over all things; all things are open and manifest before Thee, nor can anything be conceal’d from 182

Thee. Thou seest the Actions of Azazel; the Misfortunes he has occasioned; the Wickedness and abominable Practices he has taught upon the Earth; how he has corrupted it with Fraud and Villainy. He has divulg’d the great Arcana of Heaven; and the Sons of Men are led, by his Example, to inspeél the Celestial Mysteries: Semiazas Thou hast ordained to be the Prince of those who are about him; but they have all turned themselves to the Daughters of the Men of the Earth, and polluting themselves with Women have discovered to them all the Methods of Impiety, and instructed them to perpetrate all degrees of Abomination: And now, behold, the Daughters of Men have born a Gigantic Offspring to them; a foul Blemish of Corruption has infected the whole Earth, and the World is full of Injustice. Lo, the Spirits of the Souls of Men who have been dead, attend thee: Their Groans have arriv’d as far as the Gates of Heaven, and they cannot depart, by reason of the exceeding Impiety that is committed upon the Earth: Yet Thou knewest these things before they were effected: Dost Thou see them, and say nothing? What must be done upon this Occasion?” The Highest made answer, and the Holy Great One reply’d; and sent Uriel to the Son of Lamech, saying: "Go to Noe (Noah), and acquaint him in My Name, Hide thyself: And inform him, that the End approaches, for the whole Earth shall perish. And tell him, a Deluge shall overspread the whole Earth, and all Things shall be destroy'd upon the Face of it. Instruct the Just Son of Lamech what he shall do, and he shall preserve his Soul unto Life; and he shall be safe in his Generation: From him shall a new Race be deriv'd and established, and shall continue to all Ages.” THE HISTORY OF THE ANGELS, AND THEIR GALLANTRY WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN.

ENOCH'S PROPHECY OF WORLD PEACE, COMMENTARY CONCLUDED.” - From: The Commentary section of Comte De Gabalis by Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars [1913] The Book. (“Many readers will recall Sir Edward (Bulwer)Lytton's citation of Comte de Gabalis (though dated 1715, portions of which was originally published in 1670 A.D. The Book of Enoch itself dates back to the 3rd-1st Centuries B.C.) in his strange novel Zanoni (published 1842 A.D.), certain portions of which were based upon this source. And others will remember the high esteem in which the wit and wisdom of the Abbé de Villars' masterpiece (Comte de Gabalis) were held by litterateurs, as well as occultists, in the early years of the 18th century. Alexander Pope, in his dedication to the Rape of the Lock, the first draft of which was written in 1711, says "The Rosicrucians are a people I must bring you acquainted with. The best account I know of them is in a French book call’d Le Comte de Gabalis…Alexander Pope's poem bears the same relation to its inspiration Comte de Gabalis, that a dancing mote does to the sunbeam whose brilliance it reflects.” - Comte De Gabalis by Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars (1913 A.D.) The Book. The English poet and 183

satirist Alexander Pope in Rape of the Lock wrote of Azazel and his group of fallen angels when he wrote of human virgins being visited by angelic powers) (**Such herbal abortifacients were still in use by witches in England during the 1960s. The following is from an interview with Alexandrian Wicca high-priest Alex Sanders concerning and I quote “witchhealing”: “Q: Are witch medicines ever used? A: Yes, for abortions on rare occasions and for simple ailments. Q: In what circumstances would an abortion be carried out? A: If a witch were unmarried, or married but in poor health, or unable to cope with another child, she would be eligible. In some cases the girl friend of a witch—even if she were an unbeliever—might be helped. Q: How is the abortion performed? A: By a herbal medicine. It is available without prescription but only two other witches, to my knowledge, have the formula. It must be used before the third month of pregnancy.” – p.122 King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders by June Johns, 1969 A.D.)

Theosophists teach that in times past “an important event happened - the most important up to this time upon our planet. This event was the coming of what the ancient scriptures call the "Shining Ones," the "Sons of God". These Beings have been called by many names…They have sometimes been referred to as the "fallen angels"…The coming (descent) of these divine sons, and their sojourn in the lower regions ("Hades" of the Greeks, "Amenti" of the Egyptians) has been the subject of myth and legend of all peoples since the beginning of time. This is a theme which has been immortalised by sage and poet.” - The Theosophical Seal (Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.)

Theosophy teaches of Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels who are imprisoned within the Earth! Azazel is an adept at animal husbandry, being often referred to as a shepherd (as the shepherd gods Dumuzi and Tammuz; as Osiris who is oft depicted with the shepherd’s crook and flail; as the shepherd god Pan; or as a swineherd (as Euboulos). Many representations of the angel Azazel in other religious systems depict Azazel in this way as a shepherd. It must be noted the Egyptian god Thoth was one of such a myriad of representations of the angel Azazel. One of the names of the god Thoth (who represented the angel Azazel) was ‘Sheps,’ this title being a cognate of the word ‘shepherd,’ and most notably, of the Hebrew word ‘Sheol,’ the name of the place where the angel Azazel and his rebellious angels are imprisoned underground within the earth). In this very same capacity Azazel was depicted as the Celtic/Druidic god of herders named Saman, a god also known as Samhain (Saman is also the name of a Buddhist Deva (god). The word 184

‘Deva’ is a cognate of the word ‘devil.’ The Buddhist Deva (devil) Saman represents the angel Azazel (from the word ‘Saman’ comes the word ‘shaman.’ By definition, shamanism comprises a range of beliefs and practices concerned with communication with the spirit world (read: communication with the fallen angels. Compare to the Hindu ‘samaneen.’ Spiritualism is shamanism pure and simple). Indeed, Albert Pike in Morals and Dogma says: “The Druidical ceremonies undoubtedly came from India; and the Druids were originally Buddhists.”). (Likely the word ‘druid’ is derived from the place name of Azazel’s entrapment, namely, Duidain. At any rate, the Gaelic word ‘Druidh’ is said to mean “wise man/magician.”) The root word ‘sam’ means poison/venom and as such is associated with the serpent, while ‘an’ means ‘heaven.’ The ‘i’ is the Sumerian designation for ‘lord’ (in the Sumerian work entitled Ninurta's Exploits: A šir-sud to Ninurta (ETCSL translation: t.1.6.2) Azazel is the “Lord Saman-ana” mentioned therein). This serpent lord from heaven is the Genesis serpent Azazel (known to ancients as the gods Baal and Adonis, both epitaphs which translate as ‘lord’) who was the leader of the assembly of the jinn, also known as the ‘mani.’ As an added note, the word ‘azi,’ the root of the name Azazel, is the Iranian Avestan word for ‘serpent.’ Indeed, the Samhain festival is named in Azazel’s honor, bearing his Druidic nome de guerre. The festival of Samhain was also known as the ‘Vigil of Samana’ [compare to ‘Saman-ana’]. A ‘vigil’ is defined as ‘the eve of a festival.’ We know this vigil in its Christianized form as Halloween, which is the shortened form of All-Hallows Eve, which is celebrated on the eve of the festival known as All-Hollows Day. The festival which marks the night on which the deaths of the human/angel hybrids occurred in an Armageddon-like confrontation was Christianized as All-Hallows Eve (October 31), from whence comes the name Halloween (from Hallowe’en, the shortened form of All-hallow-even, the eve of All-hallows Day), while the following day which hallowed the celebration of the day on which the angels were imprisoned within the earth was Christianized by the Roman Catholic Church under the name of All-Hallows Day, also known as Hallowmas (November 1), which was the Old English name for our modern All Saint’s Day (November 1). In fact, the story of these angels’ imprisonment within the earth is the basis for the Roman Catholic Church’s concept of Purgatory. All Soul’s Day is a festival 185

held on November 2 on the day following All Saint’s Day when prayers are offered up in order to hasten the deliverance of those souls being held in ‘purgatory.’ Since those held in ‘purgatory’ are these earthly imprisoned rebellious fallen angels, such prayers consequently offered up are an effort to hasten their release. This observance represented the Christianization of a Pagan practice. (Important Note: The Balfour Declaration, an agreement which provided for “the establishment in Palestine of a Home for the Jewish people” and in such a way leading to the creation of the modern state of Israel, was issued on All Soul’s Day on November 2, 1917 A.D.) Beltane is celebrated on May 1, (May Day). According to the Hutchison Educational Encyclopedia (Helicon Publishing Ltd, 2000), Beltane is May-Day, an Old Scottish quarter day. As such, All-Saint’s Day was in fact moved from this date to November 1. At a period of time when the day was reckoned from sunset to sunset, the two day hallowed-day of All-hallow-even and All-hallows Day was originally a one day event. Liturgically, this day was celebrated at the Vigil of All Saint’s (this day was the Christianized version of the Vigil of Samana, also known as Samhain), hence the name, All Saint’s Day. All Saint’s Day was also the Roman Catholic Church’s Christianized substitute for the pagan Roman festival called the Feast of Lemures (alternatively the Lemuralia or Lemuria), celebrated on May 13 on the Julian Calendar (April 30, May Eve, also known as Walpurgis Night, is its Gregorian Calendar equivalent), so named for the dead spirits of the hybrid children of the angels, the deaths of whom this holy-day commemorates. In Ireland today, Oidhche/Oiche Bealtaine is May Eve, and La Bealtaine is May Day. The Welsh equivalent of Beltane is Calan Mai/Calan Haf, celebrated on May 1. The celebrations begin the evening before and this is known as May Eve. May Eve as a pagan holy-day was Christianized as (St.) Walpurgis Night being celebrated as it was on April 30 on the eve of the 1 st of May at a time when days were reckoned as beginning at sundown. In German folklore, this day (Walpurgisnacht) was a witches’ feast night/sabbat as May Day was originally a pre-Christian holy-day reserved for the performance of magical rites (‘sabbat,’ from the word ‘sabt.’ Sabt is the Egyptian name for the star Sirius with which Azazel is associated). Beltane is also a May 1st festival celebrated by those magical New Agers, the Wiccans. 186

In America and Canada, the secular holiday of Labor Day is derived from May Day (it was ‘officially’ secularized [this being akin to the process of the Christianization of pagan holy days] as a celebration of workers when it was first adopted at the 1889 A.D. International Socialist Congress in Paris where the date was fixed as being the 1st of May and became a legal holiday [a word derived from the term ‘holy day’] in honor of workers. The Communist celebration of May Day has this as its origin, where a seemingly irreligious group esoterically celebrates a wholly religious concept [for instance, one famous socialist/communist symbol is the anvil and hammer, a symbol/device of the metalworking god Vulcan, who is Azazel]. In Hinduism, Ribhus was the name of the leader of a small group said to dwell in a solar sphere. The solar sphere in which they dwell, or more specifically, within which the small group is entrapped, is representative of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. The name Ribhus is from ‘rbhu-,’ a word cognate with the Latin word ‘labor’ and the English word ‘elf.’ Elves are folkloric representations of the rebellious fallen angels (the word ‘el’ in the word ‘elf/elves’ is a root of the word ‘angel’) The true esoteric meaning of Labor Day as a holiday pertains to the veneration of the rebellious fallen angel Azazel under the Hindu name of Ribhus. Labor Day is Ribhus Day, which is to say, Azazel Day! In America the observation of Labor Day was moved to the 1st Monday of September, though many countries still celebrate Labor Day on May Day (May 1). Of an interesting note, the first permanent settlement in North America was at Jamestown in Virginia, officially settled on May 14, 1607 A.D. on the Gregorian Calendar. The Julian Calendar date of May 14th corresponds to the Gregorian Calendar date of May 1, May Day. The Roman Festival of the Bona Dea was also held on May 1 in honor of the virginal goddess Bona Dea, whose name means “the good goddess.” Bona Dea represents Azazel’s human wife. May Day (May 1) games have their origin in the religious celebration associated with the Roman Secular Games. In fact, the May Queen/Queen of the May (the word ‘May’ is derived from ‘Maia,’ the name of a Greek fertility goddess who likewise represented Azazel’s human wife, also known as Queen Maia) was a virgin young girl(s) who was/were chosen to act as queen(s) of the May Day games in honor of Azazel’s human wife who was alternately known as the Queen of Heaven (some Roman Catholic Church’s conduct a May Crowning of Mary 187

ceremony on May 1, such as that held at St. Gerald’s in Oak Lawn, IL at the parish’s grotto shrine of Mary, the Queen of Heaven, in honor of the Roman Catholic Church’s Christianized version of the angel Azazel’s human wife. This was a common practice throughout the Roman Catholic world prior to the reforms of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican (also known as Vatican II) held between 19621965 A.D.). In medieval times these virgin Queens of the May were often impregnated during pagan sexual fertility rites (Hiero Gamos Rituals; fertility rites fall into the sex-magic category) which ceremoniously commemorated the sexual union of Azazel and his human wife. The tradition of dancing around a May-pole is a scene often depicted in early American art as May Day was a popular holy-day in Colonial America. The Puritans who came to North America at Jamestown, Virginia, had as a group opposed the power of the Roman Catholic Church in England as well as the Church of England itself and had supported Oliver Cromwell’s overthrow of the royal English monarchy (Ottenheimer in The Secrets of the Black Art [1900 A.D.] p.40 describes the occult nature of the English Civil War which was, as Thomas Carlyle describes it, the ‘war of the Puritans’: “It is asserted by several authorities that no less than three thousand persons [in England] were executed for Witchcraft during that dark period of heretical depravity, the Great Rebellion [the English Civil War which was waged between 1642-1652 A.D.]. Now, as "Rebellion," according to the express assurance of the Prophet Samuel (1 Sam. xv. 23) "is as the sin of Witchcraft," no hearty believer in God’s revelation can be at all surprised to find that both Witchcraft and Rebellion in an atmosphere of heresy flourished together, under that o d i o u s t y r a n t and hypocritical fanatic, Oliver Cromwell (Cromwell was a Puritan himself): when the altar was thrown down and both King (Charles I) and Archbishop (William Laud, the Archbishop of Canterbury who was beheaded by virtue of a bill of attainder) were murdered.” These facts are made all the more interesting when we dig a little further and discover that one of Cromwell’s closest friends was the magic-practicing Kabalist Menasseh Ben Israel [See p.93 Secret Societies and Subversive Movements], and that: “Cromwell, the arch-opponent of the Catholic Church, was ‘a higher initiate of masonic mysteries’…” [Ibid p.98] which included the practice of invoking fallen angels and this by magic ritual—as the learned British witch Doreen Valiente notes in her book Natural Magic: “It was whispered among Royalist sympathizers 188

that Cromwell had a pact with the Devil.” Oliver Cromwell’s own personal minister, a Cambridge-educated Puritan minister named Thomas Weld [whose descendents include former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and actress Tuesday Weld] would eventually settle in the Massachusetts Bay Colony). After the subsequent reinstatement of the monarchy in England in 1660 A.D. (known as the Stuart Restoration), many Puritans fled to North America to avoid prosecution (the parents of Benjamin Franklin were amongst the group of rebellious Puritans which absconded to our American shores; of an interesting note, the Puritans believed themselves to be reincarnated Israelites, reincarnation being the basis of Spiritualism) and not as generally instructed the result of religious persecutions. Another close ally of Sir Oliver Cromwell, Oxford University-attendee William Penn, himself a prominent affluent Quaker (William Penn was a close friend of Quaker founder George Fox) and outspoken critic of the Roman Catholic Church, would found the British colony of Pennsylvania (which word translates as ‘Penn’s Woods,’ it being one of the 13 original colonies) as a “Holy Experiment” where persecuted peoples could reside in peace side by side and which would eventually enter the Union as America’s 2nd state. With these European colonists and settlers came various pagan religious traditions to America. Amongst the groups to accept William Penn’s invite were the Mennonite followers of Menno Simons, a group of Germanic Quakers and Mennonites totaling 100 individuals hailing from the Rhineland area (in the Electoral Palatinate/German Palatinate) of the Holy Roman Empire (a group composed in part of descendents of the Waldenses [a faction once the subject of a Catholic extermination campaign] and the radical Anabaptists [amongst which group is the Amish]) which in 1683 A.D. founded Germantown, PA, today incorporated within the city of Philadelphia (the recognized founder of Germantown is mystic poet Francis Daniel Pastorius, a friend of Philipp Jakob Spener, a German Christian mystic known as the ‘Father of Pietism’). Between the years 1707 – 1756 A.D. Mennonite numbers in the colony of Pennsylvania would be augmented by an influx of an additional 3,000 Mennonites originating from the area known as the German Palatinate, the very Germanic region where Bavaria itself is located (a people collectively known as the Pennsylvania Dutch/Pennsylvania German, this group would settle in Lancaster County at the site of Lancaster, PA [of an interesting note, it was to Lancaster, PA to which the Continental Congress would retreat 189

when Philadelphia was threatened by invading British forces during the Revolutionary War]), Bavaria being the original home of Adam Weishaupt’s Illuminati (the roots of the Carbonari secret society [a successor organization of Weishaupt’s Order of Illuminati] can be traced to the secret societies of the pre-Reformation and Reformation eras, Germany itself being ground zero of the Rosicrucian/Reformation movements. Reformation leader Martin Luther was a Rosicrucian—Luther’s seal incorporates a Rose-Cross iconography). The environs in and around Bavaria, as the reader shall discover, has long been a center of the magical arts. Another early American colony, the Plymouth Colony, was founded by a group of Brownist Pilgrims in Plymouth, MA. These included the kith and kin of Sir William Cecil (the leader of the Pilgrim separatist movement, Robert Browne, was related to Sir William Cecil), a chief minister in the court of Queen Elizabeth I whose chief court advisor was Astrologer Royal Dr. John Dee, a famous ceremonial magician/member of the Invisible College. America celebrates the Thanksgiving holiday in these Pilgrims’ honor (prominent amongst this group was the Delano family: “In the Americas, the Delano family includes notables such as U.S. presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Calvin Coolidge, U.S. president and Union Army general Ulysses S. Grant (whose Secretary of the Interior was family member Columbus Delano), author Laura Ingalls Wilder, and NASA astronaut Alan B. Shepard. The Delano family progenitor was Philippe de Lannoy (1602–1681). This Pilgrim of Flemish descent arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in the early 1620s. His descendants also include Frederic Adrian Delano [a Harvard grad who served as vice-president of the American Unitarian Association in 1907 A.D.], [anthropologist] Robert Redfield,** and [swashbuckling sea captain] Paul Delano. Delano family forebears include the Pilgrim who chartered the Mayflower, seven of its passengers and three signers of the Mayflower Compact.” – Wikipedia: Delano family). (**Carnegie Institute Anthropologist Robert Redfield was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences)

In the American colonies, magic traditions and Christian practices often went side by side (fused into a system of Christian mysticism generally known as Cabalism, adherents being predominantly of the Protestant Reformation Rosicrucian variety), with some individuals thereby masking their wholly pagan inclinations 190

through a veil of Gnostic Christianity** to avoid wholesale persecutions, often involving a brutal death by zealous Inquisitions instituted by the Counter-Reformation of the Roman Catholic Church from whose furies these groups had fled (numerous ‘witches’ in England however would also meet their deaths under the watch of the virulently anti-Catholic Puritan Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell’s witchfinder general Matthew Hopkins, famous author of the witchfinding treatise The Discoverie of Witches. Over a period of three years from 1644-1646 A.D. some 300 individuals charged as witches would greet death at the gallows during the English Civil War [and this one should think was due to the fact members of the royalty commonly employed witches as spies and assassins]). (**Colonial Christianity often consisted in varying degrees of such a paganChristian amalgamation and it was not an uncommon practice as noted in Witchcraft in England p.76 for a “priest at the altar” of a Christian church to “have come straight from the celebration of some darker [magical] rite” and this according to a long-standing tradition for as similarly noted in The Magic of the Middle Ages by Viktor Rydberg: “In the time of [Saint] Boniface [circa the 8 th A.D.] there were many Christian priests in Germany who sacrificed to Thor [Azazel] and baptized in the name of Jesus at the same time.” 1Corinthians 10:21 is a testament to the futility of such a practice: “You cannot drink the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot participate at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons.”) These facts notwithstanding, witchcraft in its purest forms was not an uncommon practice in early colonial America, and many such individuals would suffer during the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692-1693 A.D. (witch trials were not exclusive to Salem, Massachusetts however, they being also held in other colonies in the Americas, in England and all across Europe from the 15th through the 18th Centuries. Estimates of the number of lives surrendered to the Inquisition itself runs from the hundreds of thousands and even into the millions, a period often referred to as the ‘Burning Times’ by modern day witches as witches were often burned at the stake, though in England, witches were wont to be hung). The illustrious Puritan preacher Cotton Mather (1663-1728 A.D.) wrote several literary works concerning witchcraft in the colonies, even condoning its use in certain circumstances, while vessels known as ‘Witch-bottles’ can be found on both sides of the Atlantic in the colonies as well as on the European continent which had spawned their usage. Witch bottles themselves were folkloric (white-magic) cures 191

employed by cunning men and women meant to counter the malevolent effects of the spells of black-magic witches. Early colonial hex signs employed by German-speaking Pennsylvania Dutch also share such a magical origin, these being employed as protective magical charms, and some locales in early America were indubitably influenced by both Christian and German theosophical movements (the German monk Martin Luther, often referred to as the Father of the Protestant Reformation, was himself a Rosicrucian practitioner of Cabalism). Many such adherents had fled both secular and religious persecution in Europe only to alight upon our New Atlantean American shores. Such theosophic groups include the Quakers. In fact: “The earliest settlers of America—Spanish, English, Dutch, Swedes, French, German, etc., all had a “working knowledge,” generally speaking, of religious backgrounds, especially respecting good and bad—angels and witches [read: they all had a general knowledge of witchcraft, both white and black]. Most of the books brought to America by either of the above races were of a religious [though not necessarily Christian] nature...” - The Realness of Witchcraft in America by A. Monroe Aurand, Jr., 1942 A.D.).

Many in America who had adhered to practices of magic and witchcraft flocked to and rallied around the banner of Freemasonry, and it is interesting to note as well, 50 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were prominent high-degree Freemasons. The word ‘Druid’ by one definition means ‘knowing the oak tree.’ What is the esoteric significance of the oak tree? As Giordano Bruno in The Heroic Enthusiasts so eloquently states: “…the roots of the oak twist and weave themselves into the veins of the earth…” and it is within these very veins of the earth, where, as we learn, Azazel is therein entrapped. Indeed, the Druids, witches by definition, carried out human sacrifices during religious rituals in sacred sylvan wooded groves. Their victims (called hostias) were often burned alive in wooden wickerwork cages fashioned in the shape of humans and sometimes in the shape of enormous human heads thereby making the term the Burning Times so very ironic in itself (for as it is said, as one sows, so shall he reap). The Beltane Festival held on May 1 st (May Day) featured the burning of such a huge wicker effigy of a man. Related to this practice is the Burning Man Fest, an annual occult 192

ritual performed in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. The Burning Man Fest is held from August 25-September 1. September 1st is, as you recall, Labor Day, which is to say, Ribhus Day, Ribhus being the Hindu name for Azazel. This is precisely four months after May 1st on our current calendar, adjusted to coincide with May 1 st in the ancient calendar tradition. Also related to Beltane traditions is the burning of a marionette effigy of Zozobra, also called Old Man Gloom (as Azazel is said to abide in the ‘nether gloom,’ being also known as Father Time [Cronos], who is oft depicted as an old man), during the Fiestas de Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico (Santa Fe being a New Age Mecca) during the month of September. The Fiestas de Santa Fe dates back to the year 1712 A.D., while the tradition of the burning of Zozobra dates from 1924 A.D. The Cabalistic act of the burning of Zozobra commences a three day celebration which includes a mass at St. Francis Cathedral. Another related festival was the worship of the Hittite horned lion-god Sandan (compare to the Sand Man, the mystical figure said to magically put one to sleep—the cherubim of the angels are capable of inducing such a deep catatonic sleep), a god who represented the angel Azazel, the image of which was placed inside a pyre which was subsequently set afire. These festivals and others like it were all related to an Egyptian annual magical rite called the “Banishing of Apep” (in systems of magic, banishing rituals go hand in hand with the invocation of spirits/angels/demons). In regards to the serpent characterization of the angel Azazel, he is represented in the Egyptian stories of Apep (in Greek, Apophis), who was the great serpent (ophis) believed to be imprisoned and still living entrapped within the underworld. During an annual Egyptian black magic ceremony called the “Banishing of Apep,” Egyptian priests built an effigy of the serpent Apep and burned it in order to protect the populace from his influences. The Cremation of Care (called ‘Dull Care’) ceremony performed in the Bohemian Grove also has its roots in this practice (the term “dull care” can be found in The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam [c. 1123 A.D.], a mystical poem by a master of comparative religions and of the esoteric teachings found therein. Stanza 299 relates: “Cast off dull care, O melancholy brother!” while Stanza 198 speaks of “care’s serpent eye” (and also “Rich men, who take to drink, the world defy,” they being as it were, above the law, this being one definition of the word ‘Bohemian’ [compare to Felix Pyat’s 1834 A.D. description of Bohemians as being “outside the law, beyond the reaches of society.” Felix Pyat was a high-degree 193

Freemason who receives special mention on p.262 of Occult Theocracy as being a co-conspirator in an international intrigue]. A Serpent is a common motif representing the demonic angel Azazel and is also a common symbol of a cherub. It must be noted at this point that a serpent is employed as the Bohemian Club logo). Hence the Cremation of Care ceremony is akin to magic ceremonies which ritually burn the angel Azazel in effigy, the object being to banish him after previously ritually invoking him. Apophis (Apep) is also known as Apophrassz, the “Stooping Dragon,” a dragon being a common symbol for a cherub, the word ‘dragon’ often being used interchangeably with the word ‘serpent’ in The Bible. The word ‘Apophis’ is etymologically related to the word ‘Apis’ and also to the word ‘Apollo.’ The gods Apollo and Apis were gods who represented Azazel/Behemoth. The word ‘Apis’ is simply the word ‘Apophis’ with the word ‘oph’ removed. The word ‘oph’ means ‘serpent’ (though Apis is generally portrayed as a bull, Apophis is akin to the ‘Horned Serpent’ of countless pagan ‘mythologies’). A serpent is a common symbol for a cherub (the god known as Apollo, representative of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, is also called Pythius after the serpent Pytho [See The Magus Chapter VII: Of the Order of Evil Spirits, and their Fall, and Different Natures]). The word ‘Python,’ the name for a genus of snakes, is a cognate of the word ‘Typhon’ (these words vary simply through the transposition of the letters ‘T’ and ‘P.’ By definition these words are anagrams of each other. As also must be noted, by one definition, and this is certainly the case in this instance, a ‘python’ is a demon. Both words are in fact constructed with the word ‘oph’ which signifies a serpent). The Greek god Typhon represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. When Typhon was defeated by Zeus (Zeus being the name under which the Greeks paid homage to God), Typhon (Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth) was said to have been entrapped beneath the earth, being cast by Zeus (God) into Tartarus (the underworld, within the earth). (One must also note the similarity between the words ‘Python’ and Ptah, yet another Egyptian title of the fallen angel Azazel, he of many names (to quote the Egyptian The Book of the Dead, Azazel’s: “…names are manifold and innumerable…”). Compare the Egyptian Typhon/Python/Ptah to the Greek Phaeton, yet another name for Apollo (Phaeton is an anagram of Oph-Aten), a god representing Azazel’s cherub Behemoth—‘Phaeton’ in Greek means “shining.” The Oph-Aten (Phaeton) is the Serpent-Sun Disc symbol representative of the 194

Genesis serpent Azazel’s wheel-shaped cherub Behemoth [in Hebrew, the word ‘wheel’ designating a cherub is ‘Ophan’ (plural, Ophanim)] from which is derived such esoteric symbols as the Gnostic Ouroboros symbol [a circular symbol composed of a serpent with its tail in its mouth] and the Grecian serpentine Phaestos Disc [in its basic composition a spiral design]). As we learn from S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man, p.54, 55, the Greek god Apollo was also called Python. Also, the word ‘usumgal’** which translates as ‘python,’ was a title of Tammuz (See p.161 Tammuz and Ishtar by S. Langdon, 1914 A.D.) who likewise represented Azazel (**compare to the Akkadian god Ušumgallu who is depicted as a Horned Serpent, representative of the Horned God Azazel whose sign is the serpent). The Egyptian word ‘Serapis’ comes from ‘Soros-Apis,’ or ‘Sor-Apis,’ said to translate as the ‘tomb of the bull (ox)’ (compare to the name of the Sabine god Soranus, a god who likewise represented Azazel). Apis (in Egyptian meaning ‘ox’), it is said, represented the Egyptian god Osiris (a name by which the Egyptians worshipped Behemoth/Azazel) in the form of a sacred bull (a male ox), the bull being a common symbol for an angel (at the giving of the Ten Commandments, the golden bull calf [the calf signifying the Egyptian Horus the Child/Harpocrates/Apis the young bull calf and the Hebrew god Moloch, all of whom represented the fallen angel Azazel] which the Hebrews worshipped after their Exodus from Egypt [See Exodus 32:2-8] was such an idolized representation of Azazel). Serapis was also known as Osiris Apis. Related to the Egyptian word ‘Serapis’ is the Hebrew word ‘Seraph,’ a type of cherub (entymologically related to the word ‘Serapis’ is the Semitic word for a serpent, ‘Siru’). The word ‘Osiris’ translates as “many eyed,” a term descriptive of Azazel’s cherub (in Ezekiel 10:12, Ezekiel describes the cherubim as being covered with many apertures called “eyes”). Serapis then, being the tomb of the bull Osiris, is a term referring to Azazel’s entombment within his cherub Behemoth, which is to say, within his seraph (his ‘many-eyed’ [Osiris] cherub), within the dark recesses of the earth. Indeed, as related by Plutarch in On Osiris and Isis, priests performed ceremonies in which the god Apis is ritually buried, thereby commemorating the entombment of Azazel (represented by Apis), within the earth, within his cherubic tomb. Such ritual burial places were located in underground temples dedicated to the god Serapis, called a Serapeum. The god Serapis is at times depicted as being crowned by a modius, an Egyptian corn measure. The modius holds 195

16 sextarii of corn in allusion to Azazel’s release in 2016 A.D. It must be noted that Azazel is also known as a corn god, who is often represented by a phallic-shaped ear of corn. The Great Magical Papyrus of Paris speaks of “Osiris, king of the underworld” calling him “King Osiris Onnophris,” a title containing the root word ‘oph,’ alluding to the god’s identity as the Genesis serpent Azazel. The word ‘oph’ means ‘serpent.’ Such a connection was made with Azazel because serpents are known to inhabit subterranean abodes known as ‘pits.’ In a like way also in allusion to the fact that he dwells, like the lowly earthworm, within the earth, The Apocalypse of Abraham refers to Azazel as the “vile worm Azazel” (compare to H.P. Lovecraft’s magic book known as the Simon Necronomicon which refers to Azazel as a “Worm,” and The Book of Jamaspi 2.3 which also likens Ahriman [who is Azazel] to a “worm,” as Azazel is also represented as the Masonic Worm Samis [alias the ‘insect Shermah,’ Shermah being a cognate of Hermes, who is Azazel], who led the “builders [Masons] of the temple” [read: Temple Masons] into error [See The Right Angle by Geoffrey Farthing]). The Anglo-Saxon word ‘worm’ is itself synonymous with the Chinese word for ‘dragon.’ Based on sheer numbers, Britain’s dragon legends are rivaled only by those of the Chinese (Anglo-Saxon dragon legends are in fact based upon the story of Azazel. In European folklore such dragons were said to inhabit underground lairs, and the typical British dragon legend revolves around a dragon emerging from a subterranean pit or a well after first having descended from the heavens, shades of the legend of the fallen angel Azazel and his later subsequent release from his lair within the earth. One of the most famous legendary British dragons is known the Lambton Worm of Durham, a testament to the fact that words dragon and worm are synonymous. The ancient Egyptian Legend of the Destruction of Mankind carved upon the walls of an Egyptian temple dedicated to the Egyptian god Osiris likewise speaks of “the worms which are in the earth and water” in reference to the cherubim of the fallen angels). Worm is the modern spelling of the Old English word wyrm meaning “serpent, snake, dragon.” Demeter is one such name under which the Greeks worshipped the earthly human wife of the angel Azazel. In the Orphic hymn, To Eleusinian Demeter, Demeter is said to “dwell in the sacred valley of Eleusis…beneath the earth.” The “valley of Eleusis” esoterically represents that valley carved out by the comet which struck the earth therein entrapping Azazel, his human wife, and the angels along with 196

him, in his cherub beneath the earth. The pagan magic rites of the Eleusinians during the Eleusinian mysteries were often performed in subterranean chambers, as were the Mithraic mysteries as oft times were the Druidic mysteries (such was true of nearly all mystery school initiations), in commemoration of Azazel’s and his human wife’s subterranean imprisonment. Caves, which are subterranean chambers, and their cousins, the grottos, are in the mystery religions one and the same. The Roman Catholic Church’s use of grottos is related to this long held pagan belief. By definition, the grotto is a small cave or a man-made imitation of a cave. The word ‘grotto’ is derived from the Italian word ‘grotta,’ meaning ‘crypt,’ which by definition refers to a subterranean chamber. The common practice of the placement of statues (idols) of the Queen of Heaven in grottos is the Christianized version of pagan teachings (such as that incorporated within the Descent of Ishtar) concerning the fact that Azazel’s human wife, whom the Roman Catholic Church’s conceptualization of the Virgin Mary represents, albeit painted with a Christianized veneer, is entombed underground within the earth (as an added note, the Sumerian word ‘kur,’ used to denote a cherub (as in ‘Enlil [Azazel] in the E-kur’; ‘E-kur’ is a cognate of ‘cherub’) by definition describes an aperture of a window, the eye (cherubim are in fact shaped like an eye when viewed from the side), or a cave! (Pertinent Quote: “May their names remain fixed, and not destroyed for ever before Osiris [Behemoth], Horus [Azazel], Isis [Azazel’s human swife], Nephthys [the Tree of Life/artificial womb/fusion chamber located within the cherub Behemoth (See The Knowledge of Wisdom)]—those gods and goddesses who are herein mentioned; and before the gods and goddesses in their entirety [note the plural] who are in the underworld, and in the chambers [read: who are in the cherubim. The word chamber is a cognate of the word cherubim] and great shrines [in total, 50 such cherubim] existing in the underworld.” - Hymn to OsirisSokar)

When in Genesis 3:14 God said of the serpent, which symbolically represents the angel Azazel: “dust you shall eat.” This was a reference to God’s sentencing Azazel to interment within the earth. Serpents make their homes within the earth, hence the analogy. It is also in this tradition that we find the esoteric teachings of the story of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth from the legends of Buddhism circa the 5th Century B.C. in India when we learn of the serpent king Mucalinda (who represents the angel Azazel) whose palace (which 197

represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth within which he is entrapped) was said to be located beneath the earth. In regards to the serpent characterization of the angel Azazel, he is represented in the Egyptian stories of Apep/Apophis, the great serpent believed to be imprisoned and still living within the underworld. ‘Nag’ in Sanskrit means ‘serpent/snake,’ and Naga is the Sanskrit name for a snake or dragon (often depicted as a cobra). Dragons and serpents are common Biblical terms for the cherubim of the angels, and most specifically the cherubim of Azazel and Satan. In Hindu-Buddhist beliefs, Naga are celestial dragons often said to be able to take on the human form. This is based on the story of the incarnation of the celestial serpent Azazel and of the angels who accompanied him who likewise came to this Earth in an incarnate human form. Contrary to popular belief, angels are capable of sin. Nobody is perfect, not even the angels of heaven: “Even in his servants (the angels) he (God) puts no trust, and his angels he (God) charges with error…” - Job 4:18 “Behold, God puts no trust in his holy ones (his angels), and the heavens are not clean (without sin) in his sight…” - Job 15:15 The angels, their offspring and the human women who sired them were deified by the ancient human population of the Earth by which they are represented in a multicultural pantheon of gods, goddesses and so-called “mythical” figures, and these stories come down to us in the form of ancient “mythologies” (one modern example being Bulfinch’s Mythology by the American Thomas Bulfinch [b.1796 – d.1867 A.D.] composed of three volumes including The Age of Fable, [Stories of Gods (angels) and Heroes (angel/human hybrids)] published in 1855 A.D.; The Age of Chivalry, [Legends of King Arthur], published in 1858 A.D.; and Legends of Charlemagne [Romance of the Middle Ages], published in 1863 A.D. The original three volumes were later combined into a single volume entitled Bulfinch’s Mythology). Many of the more well known “mythologies” are taught in educational curriculums throughout the United States including those as set forth in Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton, 1942 A.D., frequently used in high schools 198

and colleges as an introductory text on ancient mythology. Such “myths” were taught to me in the public school system in Chicago, IL, in English class. I learned them again later in a state-run college Humanities course (in this way Humanists dodge the Constitutional mandated division of church and state). Amidst these supposed “myths” are contained the true stories of the exploits of the angels, their wives and their offspring. Many religions throughout the history of the world, be they Semitic, Assyrian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Ugaritic, Phoenician, Ethiopian, Arabic, etc., have quite common archetypes, that is, similar religious symbols and motifs which are shared by the many systems. This is because they speak of the same characters and occurrences, being differing versions of the very same story whereby as time wore on the versions changed in compliance with local societal norms and individual interpretations and assertions. The multitudinous varieties of names by which one individual such as Azazel can be known is attributed to differences in cultures, languages, attributes and titles. Azazel has many names. The 200 angels who appeared in the time of Jared who were imprisoned within the earth are the “gods whose dominion is…in depths of earth and gloom” as mentioned in the Roman poet (70-19 B.C.) Virgil’s Aeneid. These angels are the Titans of Tartarus, the Sons of Earth (in reference to their being angels incarnate) “cast down” from heaven to the Earth and “writhing in the lowest depth” thereof. In the Greek Orphic Hymn, “To the Titans,” it is said these Titans “dwell down below in Tartarean homes…in the earth’s bowels.” This is in reference to the angels’ imprisonment within the earth, where they are to this day imprisoned within their “homes,” which is to say, within their cherubim. The Greek poet Hesiod (8 th Century B.C.) likewise tells us the Titans were “bound in bitter chains beneath the wide-wayed earth.” The Greek word for the deities who dwelled beneath the earth was ‘hypochthonioi.’ The Sumerians called these imprisoned angels the Anunnaki amongst which group is the Anunna, the fifty ‘great gods’ of the Sumerians, who likely represent the crew commanders of the cherubim, each cherub housing a crew of four, including their commander (50 X 4 = 200) (as exemplified in Revelation 9:13-15, a scripture which describes the release of Azazel’s cherub. There are four angels in Azazel’s cherub which is representative of a typical cherub crew). In The Koran these angels are known as the jinn, from whence comes our word ‘genie.’ They are the Hindu goblems (compare to the word ‘golem’) and are akin to the 199

Germanic elves (which we learn about at Christmastime in the folkloric form of Santa’s [read: Satan’s] elves). They are the Norse “Dark-elves” mentioned in the 13th Century Prose Edda Gylfanning said to “dwell down in the earth.” The Irish knew them as Aos Si/Aes Sidhe, elf-like beings said to live underground. The Nordic word for elf, ‘Alfar,’ contains the root word ‘ar,’ meaning Watcher/angel (interesting enough, ALF is used to abbreviate Alien Life Form). The fallen angels are also known as the Nordic Vanir (the root ‘ir’ also means Watcher/angel. I would have to say ‘r’ denotes an angel. When considering the word Druid, I would translate it as angel of Duid(ain). Hence a Druid priest is a priest of the angels who art in Duidain. Druids are practitioners of magic. According to St. Augustine: “There are even Demons, which are called Duses by the Gauls” - Passport to Magonia: On UFOs, Folklore and Parallel Worlds by Jacques Vallee, 1969 A.D.). They are sometimes referred to as the sluagh sidhe, the “fairy host” (note the etymological similarities between the word ‘sluagh’ and the name of the god Lugh, a Celtic name for the angel Azazel. The word ‘sidhe,’ which refers to the residence (house) in which these beings resided beneath the earth, referred to the cherubim in which the angels were entrapped. From the night hag known as Azazel’s human wife comes the original Irish concept of the Banshee, a word derived from ‘bean sidhe,’ which translates as “woman of the sidhe.” She is the woman, Azazel’s human wife, who is entrapped with Azazel within his cherub. The Norse knew Azazel’s cherub entrapped within the earth as Niflheim. The word ‘Niflheim’ is derived from the Old English word for “dark” and a German and Latin root meaning “cloud,” in essence, a ‘dark cloud.’ Clouds are used in The Bible to symbolically represent cherubim. The Norse knew the place of Azazel’s imprisonment beneath the earth as Hel and Helvete (‘hel’ means “concealed cave” and is a cognate of the Hebrew word ‘Sheol,’ the place where Azazel was said to be imprisoned within the earth), this being the “location of punishment,” which, more specifically, was the location of Azazel’s punishment, ‘Hel’ being etymologically related to the name of the Greek god Helios, a personification of Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth. It is within his cherub in which Azazel is entrapped. It is also known as Niflhel. Azazel’s human wife, imprisoned with him within his cherub was known variously as Holle, Holla, Holda, Hulda, Hilda, Hilde, Hela and Hel. As specifically pertains to Azazel’s human wife, Azazel’s 200

cherub within which she is entrapped was called Eljuonir, which translates as ‘Hel’s Hall.’ In the Prose Edda book Gylfanning (circa 1230 A.D.), the place where she is entrapped within the earth is also called the “Pit of Stumbling.” The human wives of Azazel and his angels were known by the Norse as Valkyries, the most famous of whom is Brynhildr/Bromide (whose name means ‘Brynie of Battle’), who represents the angel Azazel’s human wife. Her name is a cognate of the name of the Celtic goddess Bride/Bridget, and Britannia (oft depicted with shield and lance), the female figure who is emblematic of the country of Britain, a country so named in honor of Azazel’s human wife. The ‘horses’ the Valkyries ride are symbolic of the cherubim of their angelic husbands. Horses are a common symbol for cherubim in The Bible. The composer Wagner wrote an opera about them entitled The Ride of the Valkyries. The Valkyries are also known as the disir and as norns. ‘Dis’ means ‘lady/ladies,’ and ‘ir’ means Watcher/angel. The ‘disir’ are the ladies of the Watcher/angels, which is to say, the human wives of the angels. Germanic operas have long sung the praises of the rebellious fallen angels, albeit in their archaic mythological forms which seem absurd to the unititiated. In the Orphic hymn, To Pluto, Pluto being another such name under which the fallen angel Azazel was known, we are told: “Pluto…whose realms profound are fix’d beneath the firm and solid ground in the Tartarian plains (in Tartarus)” and that his “throne,” which is to say, the place where his cherub rests, is “fix’d in Hades dismal plains” within the earth where he is said to dwell with Proserpine, one such name by which his human wife was known, “deep” in the “cave of Atthis (Attis),” which is to say, in Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. Azazel’s entombed cherub is oft described and symbolized as a subterranean cave. The Egyptians used the scarab as a symbol for Azazel’s cherub. The Egyptian scarab represents the god Khepera who is often depicted riding through the sea of the sky in the Boat of the Sun, which represents a cherub. Khepera is known as the Roller, so-called due to the scarab beetle’s practice of rolling dung balls, which, like cherubim, are circular in shape and also roll, which is to say, spin (cherubim are sometimes referred to as spinning/whirling wheels). The idea that Azazel is entrapped within the earth within his cherub is also paralleled by the scarab beetle’s habit of making their homes within the earth. Concerning the import of the Mysterious scarab beatle in Egyptian religious beliefs, Doreen Valiente adeptly notes in her book 201

Natural Magic: “The Egyptians saw the little insect propelling this (dung) ball with its hind legs… They saw the ball (analogous of a round cherub) eventually pushed into a hole in the ground (analogous of the hole punched within the earth by the comet which entrapped him therein)… Then, one day, the eggs (which the beatle lays within the dung ball) would hatch within their warm cover and new life burst forth (as they then emerged from within the earth in which they were entrapped).” All of these characteristics made the Egyptian scarab beatle an apt symbol for the imprisoned angel Azazel and of his cherub, Behemoth, as well as his anticipated future release. And last but not least, Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVI B.D. Chap. XXXA speaks of “the horns” of Khepera, as Azazel is known as the Horned God, yet another feature making the horned scarab beatle an apt symbol for Azazel. Indeed, one of the many Egyptian titles for Azazel was “Lord of the two horns” (See the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXXI). In the ancient Babylonian religion the horned god Baal (Baal means ‘lord’) was known as the “smiting god,” a god of war. Baal is a representation of the angel Azazel—it was Azazel who first taught humans the art of war (See The Book of Enoch). The humans of the Earth began worshiping as gods the angels who appeared in the days of Jared in 5000 B.C. (The author is not alone in this belief. According to Zohar 2:7a, the gods of the nations as spoken of in The Bible are not mere powerless idols but represent actual celestial beings who have influence over actual events on our Earth). Some gods/angels may have entered some of the most ancient of temples and possibly had roles in their construction. The Greek poet Hesiod in the 8th Century B.C. himself expressed the Grecian belief that in antediluvian (pre-Flood) days man had lived with the angels whom he called “divine beings.” The Apocalypse of Abraham 31:5-8 also references mankind’s aforementioned worship of the angel Azazel. The angels entrapped within the earth are in Zoroastrianism called ‘daevas.’ The Greeks translated this word as ‘daemons’ (and knew them as well as Titans). In the Orphic Hymn “To Adonis” (Adonis, like Baal, means ‘lord’), Adonis being the Greek translation of the Semitic title under which Azazel was known, Orpheus describes him as being the “best of daemons” who was “much-named” (as he is known under many different names and titles) and therein associates him with the desert and with Tartarus. Recall in The Book of Enoch Azazel was said to be entrapped within the earth (in the underworld of 202

Tartarus) in the desert called Duidain. They speak of one and the same being, the angel Azazel. In the hymn it is said Adonis/Azazel was “At stated periods doomed to set and rise” (in association with his entrapment within the earth, representing his setting, and with his rising, his later release in the period before the Second Coming), rising as he does in a “splendid lamp, the glory of the skies.” His “lamp,” “the glory of the skies,” is his cherub Behemoth. In The Bible, a “glory” is a common term for a cherub. From the legend of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth also comes the Arabian story of the genie in the lamp (See The Arabian Nights, also known as The Thousand and One Nights). Our word ‘genie’ comes from the Arabic word for ‘jinn.’ According to the Koran 18.50, the jinn were the rebellious angels who transgressed the word of God. Azazel’s cherub was described as a lamp in the Orphic hymn because a cherub can be brightly lit and it therefore lights up the sky. In this hymn it is also said his “orb” (his round, wheel-like cherub) would later “shine again” in the “heavens.” People mistake the angel Azazel in his various personas as a representation of the sun (as a sun god, believing the ancients worshipped the sun) because he is thereby associated with a brightly lit orb which subsequently sets and rises as does our sun (I would say that anyone with extensive knowledge of the subject who yet still holds that the ancients worshipped the sun as a ‘sun-god’ is either a complete blithering idiot or a complicit part of a concerted misinformation campaign and presumably, and respectfully, the latter). However, in their defense, S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the SpiritHistory of Man p.48 informs his readers that one Babylonian word for the Sun was ‘Azaz,’ which makes Azaz-el the El of the Sun, a veritable Sun god of sorts, the so-called Sun (Azaz) god (El) of the ancients, Azazel, the Angel of the Sun. As such, some Kabalists refer to Azazel as Sorat, the Demon of the Sun. In alchemical lore, ROTA denotes an Ezekian ‘wheel,’ which is to say, it signifies a cherub, and what more is the word ‘Sorat’ than an anagram of ROTA with the addition of the emblematic serpent (S), the sign of Azazel, Sorat being symbolic of the Serpent’s Ezekian Wheel, the Serpent-Sun Disc, the Oph-Aten, Phaeton, Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. The jinn (Azazel and his imprisoned angels) are also known as the shedim (some shedim are invoked during kabalistic ceremonies such as was the golem [compare to the Hindu word ‘goblem’] of Rabbi Yehuda Loevy. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such 203

thing as benevolent shedim. Aleister Crowley, a practitioner of Magick, invoked the shedu Azazel under the guise of Choronzon, the Dweller in the Abyss. In Arabian countries the jinn/rebellious fallen angels are likewise associated with magic. Arab magicians are called Muqarribun, their traditions predating Islam itself (and of course, Aleister Crowley). Through their use of magic, the Muqarribun sought to control the jinn and to exploit them to their advantage. Spells were employed in an effort to control the jinn and to enslave them and as protection against them. The Egyptians also had practicing magicians (See Exodus 7:11), as did the Babylonians (See Daniel 2:10). The kings of the east, the Persian Magi who visited Jesus at his birth were likewise, as their names suggest, magicians (the Magi, Zoroastrian priests, invoked the fallen angels and the religion of the Magi, Zoroastrianism, prophesized the eventual release of the angel Azazel)

Chapter 6. Azazel: God of the Ancients The angel named Azazel was known as the Egyptian god Horus, teacher of the Lesser Mysteries at his first appearance on Earth, and teacher of the Greater Mysteries when he makes his second appearance after his release from his rocky imprisonment within the earth. The story of the imprisoned angel Azazel and of his three accompanying angelic comrades (along with his human wife) who are trapped inside Azazel’s cherub (and the two hundred angels who accompanied Azazel to the earth who are to this day encased within the earth in their cherubim as well) beneath the windswept desert sands is the origin of the worship of the legendary demonic seirim, the satyr-like jinn of the desert to whom the ancient Semites offered religious sacrifices as mentioned in Leviticus 17:7. This group is also the source of the legends of the jinn (from whence comes our word ‘genii’) which are spoken of in The Koran. The jinn, the angels imprisoned within the earth, are mentioned in The Bible as the “satyrs” (demons) to whom the Israelites offered sacrifices and “after whom they play the harlot” as related in Leviticus 17:7. God equates worshipping gods other than Himself with the act of harlotry and of course sex-magic was a key aspect of this worship. In 2Chronicles 11:14-15 we are told Jeroboam instituted the worship of Azazel and his fallen angelic cohorts (the satyrs) and of the calves they crafted to represent them in place of the worship of God (of God Most High, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), the ultimate act of religious harlotry. In Egypt, the four angels who are entrapped within Azazel’s cherub are known as the Four Genii of the Amenthes (of Hades). These are the "Four Great Princes of the Evil of the World" invoked by Aleister Crowley (See Magick in Theory and Practice). The Greeks also worshipped Azazel and his cohorts. Azazel’s and the imprisoned angels’ story was the origin of the myths concerning the satyrs of ancient Greece. It would seem as if nearly every civilization has paid homage to these angels in one form or another. According to The Zohar, in reference to the builders of the Tower of Babel, the first and foremost being Nimrod, “Said Rabbi Abba: ‘They were the subjects of a horrible and demoniacal infatuation in that they impiously wished to abandon the worship of the Lord for that of Satan or the serpent (Azazel) to whom they rendered homage and glory.’” Most religions from that point on 205

scattered across many different lands and peoples did in fact worship the rebellious angels under a variety of names and titles in numerous religious systems in the post-Noahic Flood (at which time the angels were entrapped within the earth)/post-Babylon period (at the time of the worldwide dispersion of the survivors of the Flood). In all actuality, the Tower of Babel (as well as the city which grew up alongside it) was named after Azazel, for as we learn from S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p.80 one ancient spelling of the name of the angel Azazel was Asas-el. In this same vain he was also known as Abab-el (Ibid. p.82) from whence is derived the the word Babel. Babel was named after Azazel (Aba/Abu) for it was there beneath their feet where Abussos, the underworld abode of the demons, was located, where Abu/Aba/Abab-el/Asas-el/Azazel lies entombed within the earth. One may without error call the Tower of Babel the Tower of Azazel (Azazel is also the god Bel of The Bible (Bel is but a shortened form of Abab-el). Abab-el is also a cognate of the word Baal [Babel = Ab (Father) Bel]). The land of Assyria in a like way derives its name from the Assyrian god Assar, who is Azazel. In The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society xii.14, the British politician, Major-General, crown director of the British East India Company, Fellow of the Royal Society, archaeologist and Father of Assyriology the 1st Baronet Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson (with Oxford University and British Museum associations I might add) provides a translation of the following ancient Assyrian inscription which speaks of: “The God Assar (read: the El Assar, which is a cognate of Asas-el (Azazel). El translates as ‘god/shining one’ [the Elohim; ang-el]. Assar is but a variant spelling of Assur), the great Lord (read: the great Baal; Baal means ‘lord’), and the gods (read: the Elohim/angels) inhabiting Assyria (in which lands was located Babel, the place of the angels’ entrapment), to them I make adoration.” (In Egypt, Osiris was also known as Assa [compare to Asas-el (Azazel), the god (El) Asas which may also be rendered Assa]) Azazel was worshipped in many religious systems under a variety of different names, as was his cherub Behemoth. Azazel was known to the Canaanites as Baal (compare also to Aba) (God equates the worship of Allah of The Koran to the worship of Baal (See Hosea 7:16. The word ‘Allah’ is a cognate of the word ‘Baal.’ There was in addition a Babylonian city called Alalah, named after the god Alah [of which ‘Allah’ is a variant spelling], who represented Azazel [See Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p. 81]). The Persian/Zoroastrian 206

Dev (the god/the El) known as Azaz (Azaz-el) was also known as Aziz (See S.F. Dunlap, Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p.75). Aziz in Arabic is derived from the root A-z-z and is a cognate of the Hebrew word Oz. Al-Aziz, as must be noted, is one of the 99 names of Allah in Islam. Indeed, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica: “Muhammad originally feared that his revelations might be the work of the jinn” (the angel Azazel [Baal/Allah] was in fact the first and foremost of the jinn). The Sumerians knew Azazel’s cherub as Enlil, god of storms and of the air, a description of Azazel’s cherub (En=lord lil=wind, air). Enlil, aka Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, was known as the Splendid Serpent of the shining eyes. A serpent is a Biblical name for a cherub. Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth, was also worshipped as Hadad/Adad/Adodos, the storm god (a cherub is capable of mimicking known weather conditions. For more detailed information see The Demonic Theory of UFOs by John of the Gentiles). Behemoth was also personified and worshipped by the inhabitants of India as Indra, the god of war and thunder. The Norse worshipped Azazel’s cherub as the storm god Thor (from whence is derived our word for Thursday, or Thor’s day, by which we honor him), the Anglo-Saxons as Thunor, and the Germans as Donar. The Norse also knew Behemoth as Tyr, and as Odin’s (Azazel’s) residence, Valhalla (compare to Alalah/Alah). The Irish worshipped Azazel’s cherub as the sun god/storm god Lugh. Azazel’s cherub was also worshipped as the Egyptian Aten (and as the god Ra). The godhead of Aten included a mother (representing Azazel’s wife), her male child (the first-born human/angel offspring of Azazel and his human wife) and an adult male (representative of the incarnate angel Azazel). His cherub was the Greek Dionysus when he appeared as Persephone’s “celestial spouse…in the form of a distant sun…whose rays play” about her. Azazel’s cherub is the Egyptian Osiris, god of the underworld, later known as Serapis following the Greek Alexandrian conquest, god of the subterranean world (Osiris [Azazel’s cherub and by extension, Azazel], was known under a variety of names as the Hymn of Osiris in the Papyrus of Ani attests. According to the early church father Athenagoras in Chapter XXVIII of A Plea for the Christians: “Osiris is named Dionysos by the Greeks” and Bacchus is but another name for Dionysos). The Greek/Roman/Etruscans worshipped Behemoth as the sun god Apollo. The Romans knew it as Sol Invictus, which was the Greek Helios. The Greeks also knew it as Phoebus. The word ‘el,’ as in elf and angel, means ‘shining one,’ while ‘an’ means ‘heaven.’ 207

Phoebus is Latin for ‘Shining One,’ a moniker used in respect to the god Apollo. Apollo represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth. Azazel’s cherub Behemoth is the Mitra of the Indian Rigveda. It is the Zoroastrian Mithra, the Roman Mithras and the Persian Mehr/Mihr (also related is the cognate name of the angel Metatron [he is the ‘angel of death’ as ‘Met’ is the Hebrew word for ‘death’]). The Akkadians worshipped Azazel’s cherub Behemoth as Erra, the god of plague (cherubim also have biological warfare capabilities). Azazel/Azazel’s cherub is the so-called sun-god Nergal of the Chaldeans, god of pestilence and fever, who was the King of the underworld of Hades, a nomenclature descriptive of his entrapment within the earth. He is also Yama, god of Hades. He is Resheph, the Semitic god of war and plague. The Phoenicians called Azazel Resheph of the Garden (of Eden from whence he like Adam was exiled). He is the Rephan/Remphan of Acts 7:43 (as Nigel Jackson points out in The Pillars of Tubal Cain p.33, ‘Remphan’ is the Egyptian word for the god Saturn, who is Azazel). He is the Sumerian god Enki (En=lord Ki=Earth). He is Malki-Resha, ruler of wickedness. He is the Yucatec Mayan Itzamna (whose emblem was the Tau cross), the Aztec Tonacatecuhtli. He is the Sidonian Eshmun, the Scythian Daramah. He was at times worshipped under the name Adoni/Adonis, and as Aidoneus, Lord of the Lower World, as well as the “shepherd” Tammuz (Dumuzi) who was said to have descended to the underworld from which he later arises. He is the Gaulish Orcus, god of the underworld, the Etruscan Mantus, god of the lower world and Melqart of Tyre, king (mlk) of the underworld. He is Moloch/Molech (See Amos 5:26, Acts 7:43, Leviticus 18:21, Leviticus 20:2-5, 1Kings 11:7, 2Kings 23:10 and Jeremiah 32:35). He is the Ammonite Milcom/Malcolm (See 1Kings 11:33 and 2Kings 23:13). He is the Moabite Chemosh (See 1Kings 11:7, 1Kings 11:33 and 2Kings 23:13). In the grimoire known as Simon’s Necronomicon Azazel’s cherub is referred to as Cthulu, a name derived from the Sumerian word for the underworld. The Sumerians knew Azazel’s cherub Behemoth as KUR, a chthonic (underworld) monster. The angel Azazel is also named as one of the chief demons of the mystical Jewish Kabbala. He is the Judaic Ashmodai/Asmodeus, king of demons, whom the Zoroastrians celebrated as Aeshma-daeva. He is the Assyrian Ashur (‘Aschere’ is Arabic for Sirius and a cognate of the word ‘Ashur.’ Compare to the name of the god Ashur, who also represented Azazel. The name ‘Ashur’ refers to the dog star Sirius, a 208

god named for the fact that the heliacal rising of Sirius marked the time of his future release. It must also be mentioned the word ‘Sirius’ is a cognate of the word ‘Osiris,’ minus the ‘O’ and plus the ‘u,’ and like an ‘O’, Azazel’s cherub is circular-shaped). He is the Sabine Soranus (a word which is also a cognate of ‘Osiris.’ Anu is a Mesopotamian god who likewise represented Azazel). He is Asclepios, the god of healing (whose sign was a red cross). He is the Roman Saturn, the Geek Kronos. He is the Celtic/Druidic Saman/Samhain, god of herders (as we learn from S.F. Dunlap, Saman was one of the names of Baal, who is Azazel. See Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man p. 95). He is the Abaddon/Apollyon of The Bible. He is Hadad. He is Mercury. He is the horned-god Wicca, god of witches. He is the Norse god Odin, the German Wotan/Woden (from whence comes our word Wednesday [Woden’s day], by which we honor him. The German Wotan is the Mayan Votan, the self described “snake”). He is the Balinese Setesuyara. He is the Egyptian snake-god Set (Aleister Crowley invoked his “Guardian angel” Set under the name Aiwass. Aiwass is Azazel, foremost of the Secret Chiefs). He is the Egyptian Seker/Sokar/Wesir, ‘Lord of the Mysterious Region of the Netherworld.’ He is the Phrygian Atys (Attis). He is the Chaldean Ana, King of the Lower World. He is the god An. He is the Amorite Anu (compare to Soranus). He is Anubis (a cognate of Anu as well as Soranus), the Egyptian god of the underworld in the Ogdoad system. He is the Manichean King of Darkness whose kingdom lies below the earth. He is Ptah. He is the Egyptian god Pataikos (the name Patrick is derived from his name. It was St. Patrick who reputedly brought Christianity to Ireland, though St. Patrick is in reality a Christianized version of the Egyptian Pataikos. One of St. Patrick’s symbols, like Azazel, is the snake/serpent. And like St. Patrick, the god Pataikos was said to protect people from snakes). He is the Egyptian snake god Nehebkau, invoked for protection from snakes and for cures from snakebites. He is the Aztec Mictlantecuhtli, who’s name translates as the “lord of Mictlan,” which is to say, lord of the underworld. He is Chicunauhmictlan, king of the underworld. He is the Welsh Arawn, king of the Otherworld, called Annwn (which by one account translates as ‘underworld’). He is the Greek messenger (the word angel translates as messenger) god Hermes (which signifies a Serpent). He is the Ptolemaic Hermanubis (a compound of Hermes-Anubis). He is Manungal. He is Hermes Trismegistus, the Greek equivalent of the 209

Egyptian Thoth (the wise counselor). He is Consus the Councilor. He is the Roman/German/Balkan/Celtic Dis Pater. He is the Celtic Aericurus. He is the Roman Elagabalus, the Syrian El-Gabal. He is the Druidic Hu (when initiates into the Druidic Mysteries are buried in a coffin it is to symbolize Azazel’s interment within the earth). He is the Greek Dionysos, also known as Bacchus, the Roman Vulcan and the Greek Hephaestus. Hades/Pluto who ruled the underworld also represents Azazel and his entrapment within the earth. Azazel is also known as Sirius, the Hidden God of the Illuminati, so named as his return is associated with the Dog Star Sirius. In Simon’s Necronomicon (by H.P. Lovecraft) Azazel is known as AZAGTHOTH (“Azag” in Sumerian means ‘Enchanter’ or ‘Magician’; “Thoth” is the Coptic name given to the Egyptian God of Magick and Wisdom, Tahuti, who was evoked by both the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and by Aleister Crowley himself (Thoth was known to the Greeks as Hermes, from whence is derived the word ‘Hermetic.’ All of these gods represented the angel Azazel), and also as KUTULU, the man of the underworld (the story of the angels imprisoned beneath the earth and those who take refuge in the oceans are the beings on which H. P. Lovecraft styled the ‘Other Gods’ in his Cult of Cthulu Cthulhu Mythos (Cthulhu = a variant form of the Sumerian ‘Kutulu’ specifically designed to contain the word ‘Thul[e]’ = Lord [Lu] of the Underworld/Abyss [Kutu]). They were said by Lovecraft to have been imprisoned there after having lost a war against the good “Elder Gods,” shades of rebellion in heaven). Azazel is sometimes referred to in Hebrew as Paimon (he is invoked under this name in the magic system found in The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage), the Rabbinic title for Paimon being OZAZL (from whence comes the name for the Wizard of Oz of Theosophical Society member L.Frank Baum, a wizard signifying a male witch). And most innocuously Azazel is the Freemasonic Great Architect (compare to the Gnostic concept of the Demiurge said to be the architect of the universe and responsible for its maintenance). The following is exemplary of a typical invocation of the angel Azazel, here under the name of the Egyptian god of magic, Tahuti, as invoked by Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member Israel Regardie (1907 – 1985 A.D.): “I invoke Tahuti (the Egyptian god of magic, the angel Azazel), the Lord of Wisdom and of Utterance, the God that cometh forth from the Veil. O Thou majesty of the Godhead, Wisdom-crowned Tahuti, Lord of the Gates of the Universe, Thee, Thee do I invoke…” - From: 210

The Romance of Metaphysics by Israel Regardie

Azazel’s cherub was known by the Persians as Mithras, the god of light. Origen confirms Mithraism was of Persian origin (See Against Celcus 6.22). Firmicus Maternus tells us Mithraism was based on the Persian rituals of the Magi (See The Error of the Pagan Religions 5.1-2). The Magi, such as the three Magi (wise men) who sought Jesus at his birth, were Zoroastrians. The cult of Mithras was embraced by Roman Legionaries, it being a contemporary religion to the early Roman Catholic Church. The worship of Mithras (Azazel) in subterranean chambers was done to symbolize his entrapment within the earth. Mithras (aka Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, the disk) was at times referred to under the religious title of Sol Invictus). Aleister Crowley invoked his Holy Guardian Angel [Azazel] under the guise of Choronzon (aka Khoronzon, the Master of Form [10th Aethyr] in the Enochian Magic system of the English Dr. John Dee [also known as the Theosophical Society deva Master KH]. As Israel Regardie explains in Ceremonial Magic pp.71-73 concerning the occult significance of this concept [of the designation ‘Master of Form’], which is to say, “…the ‘Form’ which the Holy Guardian Angel assumes…” at his appearance, “…the apparently divine Form which appears during meditation or the tantric rites…”: “For the Christian, this ‘form’ will appear to be Jesus of Nazareth, or Mary, or anybody else in the Christian pantheon. For the Mohammedan, he will be the Prophet or the Angel Gabriel who brought the message to Mohammed. The Buddhist devotee likewise will see Sakya Muni, and so forth.” In fact: “… the form which the Holy Guardian Angel assumes must differ for each aspirant…No two students will experience identically the mystical event, nor will they perceive the same Form—though each will know that this Form is his Holy Guardian Angel…”), the Angel of the Abyss and alternatively as Ra-Hoor-Khuit, “god of war and vengeance” (See The Book of the Law). There are churches in the United States presently devoted to the open worship of the angel Azazel (one is called The Church of Azazel). He is Ahriman (Angra Mainyu), the Zoroastrian Prince of Evil, chief of the daevas, dweller of the nether world. He is the Egyptian Horus the Child/Harpocrates. Roman Catholics of today themselves venerate angels, such as St. Michael, an act tantamount in the eyes of God to that of worship. Likely Azazel is also venerated under the guise of other obscure Roman Catholic tutelary saints such as the treatment of St. Patrick. 211

Tutelary saints are the Christianized version of Roman tutelary demons/guardian spirits called genius loci, the leader of whom is the Roman Faunus (in Greek, Pan), a god who represents Azazel. The tutelary demons/guardian spirits represent the jinn, a group composed of Azazel and the other 199 angels who accompanied Azazel when he came to the Earth (Manly P. Hall, one of the leading esoteric scholars of the 20th Century, in Chapter 16 of Lectures on Ancient Philosophy makes this terse statement: “Great Pan is not wholly dead. Some day he will burst the bonds that chain him in the dark abyss.” Hall was indeed steeped in the wisdom of antiquity, esoterically referring to his knowledge of the angel Azazel’s expected future release). Theosophists would have us revere the Genesis serpent, who represented the angel Azazel, as “God” and “Christ”: “So little have the first Christians (who despoiled the Jews of their Bible) understood the first four chapters of Genesis in their esoteric meaning, that they never perceived that not only was no sin intended in this disobedience, but that actually the “Serpent” (Azazel) was “the Lord God” himself, who, as the Ophis (‘ophis’ is the Greek word for ‘serpent’), the Logos, or the bearer of divine creative wisdom, taught mankind to become creators in their turn (in reference of course to the Ophis-Christos, the so-called serpent Christ of the Gnostics who was oft depicted as a ‘crucified serpent’). They never realized that the Cross was an evolution from the “tree and the serpent” (the “tree and the serpent” being a form of the ‘palladium’) and thus became the salvation of mankind. -- The Secret Doctrine, II, 215-6 (by H.P. Blavatsky).” - Theosophical Light on the Christian Bible by Henry T. Edge, 19th Century (The caduceus, an allegorical symbol of the “tree and the serpent,” is employed as a symbol of Azazel as well)

Chapter 7. The False Prophet Azazel An earthquake will in the future free Azazel’s cherub from its rocky prison within the earth—the great future earthquake prophecied in Revelation 16:18 is the earthquake which releases Azazel’s cherub from the igneous rock in which it is encased. Azazel’s cherub Behemoth is “the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit” as related in Revelation 11:7, being freed from the abyss of Tartarus by the tremendous earthquake which is slated to rock the world (See Revelation 16:18). The entire Arabian Peninsula itself, the area of Azazel’s interment, is singularly composed of the Arabian Tectonic Plate which itself abuts against five additional tectonic plates, a geological recipe for earth shaking disaster. Azazel will be released along with three other angelic comrades (See Revelation 9:14-15). At least one woman accompanies Azazel and his three angelic cohorts, the “night hag” (etymologically originating from Ninharsag, a Sumerian title of the human wife of the angel Azazel. She was known by Israelites as the night-hag Lilith, from the Hebrew lyl, meaning ‘night.’ A ‘hag’ is by definition a witch) mentioned in Isaiah 34:14. This woman is Astarte (also known as Inanna, Asherah, Isis and Ishtar), the angel Azazel’s human wife. The following scripture from the book of Revelation foretells their future release: “Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound (beneath the earth) at the great river Euphrates.” So the four angels were released, who were held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind.” - Revelation 9:13-14,15 (As related in this scripture, a full 1/3 of surviving humankind will be killed in the weeks following the release of Azazel and his angels. The angel Azazel is the Genesis serpent. The word ‘azi,’ the root of the word Azazel, is the Iranian Avestan word for ‘serpent.’ In Iranian folklore, the Azi Dahaka, whose name roughly translates as ‘manlike serpent,’ is a reference to the incarnate angel/Genesis serpent Azazel. Azi Dahaka [Azazel] was also known as ‘Dahag,’ a cognate of ‘Dahaka.’ According to Persian prophecy, at the time of the end of the world the imprisoned Dahag [Azazel] will finally burst his bonds and devastate the world, consuming one in three [a full 1/3] of all humans and livestock! The Persian legend of Dahag/Azi Dahaka is a variant prophesy of the angel Azazel’s future release)

Azazel’s future release is a much anticipated event amongst those humans who are currently in contact with him. 213

Many pagan holy-days were Christianized by the Roman Catholic Church to ease the process of the conversion of pagans to Christianity. A Christian veneer was simply applied to the old religions which still retained vestiges of its wholly pagan past. Many of these quasi-Christian/pagan celebrations were later secularized in the Americas as a response to the American restrictions concerning the separation of church and state. Some of these were pagan festivals which centered upon the predicted future release of Azazel and his angelic cohorts. This is very true of Lughnasad (August 1), a festival celebrated in the Southern Hemisphere whose Northern Hemisphere opposite is Imbolc (February 2; Imbolc translates from the Old Irish as “in the belly,” as in the belly of Mother Earth, where Azazel and his cohorts are imprisoned), the Christianized version being Lammas Day (August 1 on the Julian Calendar, which is July 19 on the Gregorian Calendar). The Lughnasad festival celebrates Azazel’s release from his earthen imprisonment. There’s even a Scottish Gaelic proverb regarding Azazel’s release at Imbolc: “The serpent (Azazel) will come from the hole (will be released from his earthen imprisonment) on the brown Day of Bride” (Bride being the Celtic goddess Brigid, the name by which the Celtic Druids worshipped Azazel’s human wife). How irresistibly quaint. The secularized version of Imbolc is Groundhog Day (February 2). Groundhog Day features an underground-dwelling creature billed as the ‘Seer of Seers’ whose emergence from his lair within the earth is also awaited with much anticipation, a beast esoterically representing the fallen angel Azazel. In 1899 A.D., members of a Masonic lodge (the word ‘Mason’ is often used interchangeably with the word ‘Freemasonic’) called the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge of Quarryville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, composed a song about Groundhog Day, betraying the true hidden reason for its observance, with lyrics including: “We hail the King of Prophets…Today the Groundhog comes! Glory! Glory! To the Groundhog…Today the Prophet comes.” And with a weather predicting accuracy rate of 37%, the Groundhog, too, like the False Prophet Azazel, is most certainly a false prophet. One could better predict the weather by the flipping of a coin! Why then, the celebration of Groundhog Day? It is in anticipation of the future release of the angel Azazel. Because of American restrictions concerning the separation of church and state, some Christianized pagan holy-days (from whence comes our word, 214

‘holidays’) were secularized. High-level magic-practicing Freemasonry is in essence an outwardly secularized version of an ancient mystery religious organization. Honorary members of the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge have included high-degree Freemason British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (a Master Mason and practicing Druid) as well as 33° Freemason U.S. President Harry S. Truman. An article in the January 31, 1955 A.D. edition of Sports Illustrated Magazine authored by John O’Reilly describes the celebration of Groundhog Day, which is performed by the Freemasons of the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge within the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club’s Inner Circle, represents an ancient “mystic rite” which is another way of saying a magic ritual, this being Druidic in nature. The Word and Revelation of Esdras prophesies Azazel’s future release: “And God said: First I will make an earthquake (this is the earthquake by which Azazel is released) for the fall of four-footed beasts and of men; and when you see that brother gives up brother to death, and that children shall rise up against their parents, and that a woman forsakes her own husband, and when nation shall rise up against nation in war, then will you know that the end is near. For then neither brother pities brother, nor man wife, nor children parents, nor friend’s friends, nor a slave his master; for he (Azazel) who is the adversary of men shall come up from Tartarus (from his prison within the earth), and shall show men many things.” - Word and Revelation of Esdras 18,19 The following scripture also speaks of Azazel’s release: “…Behemoth (Azazel’s cherub) will be revealed (released) from his place (from his prison within the earth), and Leviathan (Satan’s cherub) will ascend from the sea, those two great monsters (cherubim) which I (God) created on the fifth day of creation…” - The Apocalypse of Baruch XXIX.4

Satan and his angels who at this time reside within the sea and Azazel and the angels who accompanied him to the Earth who are at this time imprisoned therein are the “eternal sinners” mentioned in The Testament of Kohath, which speaks of: ‘…the eternal sinners…in the 215

depths of the sea and in all the hollows of the earth…’ (See The Testament of Kohath [4Q542]). (The story of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth in part has spawned the Hollow Earth Theory. The Oxford University graduate, Fellow of the Royal Society, mathematician, astronomer [he served as Astromer Royal in England from 1720 – 1742 A.D.], astrologer, and ceremonial magician Sir Edmond Halley [1656 – 1742 A.D.] presented his Hollow Earth Theory before the Royal Society of London in 1691 A.D. The Greek lyric poet Pindar [ca. 522–443 BC] uses the term “hollow earth” in Dirges Fragment 137 and Threnoi. 8 and Nazi scientists would later recycle this theory as the Hollow Earth Doctrine [Hohlweltlehre])

The people of the world will be amazed when they see Azazel in his cherub upon his release: “The beast (Azazel) that you saw was, and is not, and is to ascend from the bottomless pit (Azazel is released from his rocky prison within the earth) and goes to perdition (this act is related in Revelation 19:20-21); and the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel to behold the beast (Azazel), because it was and is not and is to come (Azazel comes when he is released from his rocky prison within the earth as related in Revelation 6:7-8).” - Revelation 17:8 (ancient days were reckoned from sunset to sunset)

The angel Azazel is the False Prophet, the “beast which rose out of the earth” as related in Revelation 13:11, rising up out of the earth upon his release from an earthen imprisonment. Azazel upon his release will be hailed as the long-awaited Jewish Messiah himself: “…I know that you have not the love of God in you. I (Jesus) have come in my Father’s name (in God’s name), and you do not receive me; if another (a reference to the angel Azazel) comes in his own name, him you will receive (as the promised Messiah).” - John 5:42-43 The Didache, also known as The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, contains this pertinent revelation: “…when lawlessness increases, they shall hate and persecute and betray one another, and then shall appear the world-deceiver (the False Prophet Azazel) as Son of God (as the Messiah), and shall do signs and wonders, and the earth shall be delivered into his hands…” - The Didache

Azazel will emerge to rule once more. Isaiah 45:8 is also an 216

esoteric reference to the future release of the False Messiah Azazel’s release from his earthen prison: “Let the earth open and bring forth the Saviour.” - Isaiah 45:8

(See also Part IV of the Rosicrucian work entitled The Waterstone of the Wise which makes reference to this scripture, no doubt in reference to Azazel’s anticipated release. Interestingly enough, in 1Samuel 28:13 KJV where the witch of Endor,** glimpsing the future with the help of a divining “familiar spirit” during the very magic ritual which she performed at the behest of the Hebrew King Saul forsaw Azazel’s future release when she was given a vision of “gods [in reference to Azazel and his three angelic cohorts] ascending out of the earth.”) (**Endor was a Canaanite town located in the Jezreel Valley the southwestern portion of which was known as the Valley of Megiddo)

Azazel in this regard was celebrated as Ophis-Christos, the socalled serpent Christ of the Gnostics, often depicted as a crucified serpent. The word ‘Ophis’ means ‘serpent.’ As explained by 33° Freemason Manly P. Hall in his celebrated book The Secret Teachings of All Ages: “The serpent [representative of Azazel] is the symbol and prototype of the Universal Savior, who redeems the worlds by giving creation the knowledge of itself and the realization of good and evil” [an esoteric reference to the actions of the Genesis serpent Azazel as set forth in Genesis 3:1-7].” As we learn from Hargrave Jennings in The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries p.215, the Gnostic group known as the Ophites [aka the Brotherhood of the Serpent] maintained the serpent of Genesis [who represented the angel Azazel] was the Savior [called the Ophis-Christos from the Greek ophis meaning serpent], and that the serpent was the emblem of the Destroyer [compare to the Egyptian chthonic serpent-god Apophis, aka the ‘Destroyer’], who is, as we learn, the angel in the pit/abyss mentioned in Revelation 9:11. As such, Azazel is oft times represented as the Crucified Serpent. Azazel upon his release will be thought to be the promised coming Messiah/Christ. But Azazel is a false Christ, a False Prophet. Two facts we must remember are (1) Jesus was rejected by the majority of the Jews who still fruitlessly await their Messiah’s initial appearance to this day** (this is the very definition of “antichrist” as defined in 1John 2:22, 1John 4:3 and 2John 1:7) and (2) Christians still await their Messiah’s Second Coming. When Azazel makes his appearance, he will be accepted as Christ come in the flesh by both Jews and Christians alike. (**Save for the Sabbatean devotees of Sabbatai Zevi whose followers believed him to be the long awaited 217

messiah) In the hymn “To Adonis,” the incarnate Adonis/Azazel is physically described as being of “beauteous form” with “tender hair.” We learn from the Greek lyric poet Pindar in his 6 th and 7th Olympian Odes as well as from his 2nd Pythian Ode that Azazel has blond hair (in the Odes, Apollo (Behemoth, and by extension, Azazel) is described as being a “golden-haired god.” For this reason Azazel is also represented as the blond-haired serpent god Glycon.** Azazel’s symbol is the serpent, and his incarnated body has blonde hair). When the handsome blonde-haired angel Azazel (in reference to this fact, an extremely handsome man is at times referred to as an “adonis” as an examination of its definition so attests) arises from his earthy prison one must not mistake him to be Jesus who is said in Isaiah 53:2 to have “no form or comeliness that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him,” Jesus being physically, one might say, ugly according to today’s societal norms. When Azazel reappears in 2016 A.D. he will proffer himself as the promised Messiah, though he is but a False Prophet and categorically the spirit of antichrist spoken of in 1John 4:3, who denieth that Jesus Christ the Messiah had already come in the flesh. (** Keep this fact in mind when English ceremonial magician Alan Moore releases his forthcoming book The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic whose central premise is the invocation of Glycon. Alan Moore’s The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels magic-group typically performs magical ‘workings’ in the form of poetry set to music) Theosophy and the World Teacher (World-Deceiver) Some, Theosophists included, portray Azazel as the Ascended Master, the World Teacher ‘Maitreya.’ The Theosophical Society’s concept of the Maitreya is modeled upon the Buddhist Matreya. Known as ‘Lord Maitreya,’ he is also referred to as the ‘Cosmic Christ,’ who upon his return will reign as the spiritual leader of the Earth, returning, as it were, in the words of the Theosophical Society President and occult writer Alice A. Bailey, from "the place on Earth where He has been for many generations." In her book Initiation, Human and Solar (1922 A.D.), Ms. Bailey expounds: “Group two (the devas/devils) has the World Teacher (who is the false prophet Azazel) for its presiding Head (hence the term ‘Inner Head’). He is that Great Being Whom the 218

Christian calls the Christ (a false christ); He is known also in the Orient as the Bodhisattva, and as the Lord Maitreya, and is the One looked for by the devout Mohammedan, under the name of the Iman Madhi. He it is Who has presided over the destinies of life…and He it is Who has come out among men before, and Who is again looked for. He is the great Lord of Love and of Compassion, just as his predecessor, the Buddha, was the Lord of Wisdom…He is the World Teacher, the Master of the Masters, and the Instructor of the Angels, and to Him is committed the guidance of the spiritual destinies of men.” Per Benjamin Creme (Share International Foundation), Maitreya’s Mission (1993 A.D.) Volume Two (p.186): “Maitreya says: ‘The last time I came, as Jesus, it was written in The Bible that when I appeared again the very elements of nature would be disturbed’ (a reference to the earthquake by which he is released).” Benjamin Crème had during the 1950s been a member of George King’s Aetherius Society. (Author’s Note: The name ‘Maitreya’ is a cognate of the word ‘Mitra.’ In fact, Azazel’s cherub Behemoth was the Mitra of the Indian Rigveda. It is also the Zoroastrian Mithra, the Roman Mithras and the Persian Mehr/Mihr). According to a Dec 12, 2008 A.D. Share International Foundation press release appearing in Oxford University attendee Rupert Murdoch’s Marketwatch: “Awaited by all faiths under different names, Maitreya is the Christ to Christians, the Imam Mahdi to Muslims, Krishna to Hindus, the Messiah to Jews, and Maitreya Buddha to Buddhists” (this is in essence the near exact teaching of the Bahá'í Faith [a Sufi sect], headquartered in Haifa, Israel, whose ‘Seat of the Universal House of Justice’ headquarters is located on the slope of Mt. Carmel, in the area of Megiddo where is to take place the end-time Battle of Armageddon [One world government, with one world language and one world religion is the expressed goal of the Bahá'í Faith]. That the Bahá'í Faith is related to Freemasonry, the SRIA, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the OTO, the Stella Matutina and the Theosophical Society is exemplified in the person of Aleister Crowley’s friend, fellow ceremonial magician Robert Felkin who had been at one point or another a member of each and every one of these organizations [one must be a Freemasonic Master Mason to join the SRIA members of which gave birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (of which the OTO is an offshoot and the Stella Matutina is a successor organization) which is the magic-practicing inner circle of the Theosophical Society itself]. Today, the Rosicrucian Order of the 219

Golden Dawn founded in 2008 A.D. with initiation temples located in Southern California [Los Angeles and San Diego] and Texas claims a direct lineal descent and ‘Apostolic Succession’ [through Stella Matutina-leader Robert Felkin’s disciple Jack Taylor (both being residents of Wolverhampton in England over which lorded Henry Fowler, 1st Viscount Wolverhampton, a member of the illustrious Fowler family) and Taylor’s own student Pat Zalewski (author of Secret Rituals of the Golden Dawn)] from the original Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic group. There exists as well a Societas Rosicruciana in America, a direct offshoot of the SRIA in England chartered by the SRIA itself in Philadelphia, PA in 1878 A.D.). According to the Share International website, Maitreya “has been expected for generations by all the major religions…Although the names differ, many believe that they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher, whose personal name is Maitreya.” It must be noted as Crème relates, Maitreya is already here, now, upon this Earth! It must also be mentioned the Asala Festival associated with the Great White Brotherhood and which is per Theosophical Society author C.W. Leadbeater in The Masters And The Path (1925 A.D.) said to be “held in the private house of the Lord Maitreya…is held on the full moon day of the month of Asala, (in Sanskrit Asâdha), usually corresponding to the English July,” the date of the full moon in the month of July in the the year 2016 A.D. being, incidentally, July 19 th. (From the legends concerning Azazel and his subterranean-based angels is derived the Buddhist concept of the subterranean world known as Agharta and its capitol, Shamballah, where was said to dwell its Supreme Ruler, a being who represented the angel Azazel. Maitreya Buddha is associated with the legendary city of Shamballah) (Per Theosophist author and one-time Chief of the Ancient Order of Druids in England Gerald Massey in The Seven Souls of Man: “It is positively provable that the Christ is but a type identical with the Horus, the Iao-Heptaktis, the Buddha or Pan of the prior cultus. According to Irenaeus, the Valentinian Gnostics maintained the identity of the Saviour with Pan, who is called Christum in the Latin text.” All of these entities are gods who represented the fallen angel Azazel, the False Christ who is to come) Explains Freemason and Theosophical Society member C. W. Leadbeater in Glimpses of Masonic History: “Masonry must surely have a wonderful part to play in the civilization of the future. Not for 220

naught have the old hallowed (pagan magic) rites been preserved in secret (in Freemasonic degrees) and the immemorial powers of the Mysteries transmitted throughout the ages to our modern world of the twentieth century; for we stand to-day on the threshold of a new era, which will be heralded by the coming forth once more of the World Teacher…The coming of the World Teacher has always in the past marked a revival or an inauguration of the Mysteries. Thoth in Egypt, Zoroaster in Persia, Orpheus in Greece—each of these mighty Messengers (a play on the word ‘angel,’ meaning, ‘messenger’) of the White Lodge (of the rebellious fallen angels), who were yet one Messenger (the angel Azazel) appearing under different names and in different forms, left behind Him a glorious rite of initiation to lead men to His feet after He had gone. That great Teacher of mankind passed from human sight as Gautama the Lord Buddha; but the sceptre of the Lord of Love was placed by the spiritual KING in the hands of His successor, whom to-day we revere as the Lord Christ, whose coming we await with hearts filled with longing love…He, too, will surely take the sacred vessels of the Mysteries and fill them anew with His own wonderful life; He, too, will mould them according to the needs of His people and the age in which they live. For the influence of the sixth ray, the ray of devotion which inspired the Christian mystics (such as the Bavarian Roman Catholic Bishop St. Albertus Magnus and his student, Dominican priest St. Thomas Aquinas, and Roman Catholic abbot Johannes Trithemius [whose own students included magicians Paracelcus and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa] as well as Jacob Boehm and Immanuel Kant, a loyal member of the breakaway Lutheran Church) and the glorious Gothic architecture of the Middle Ages is passing away, and the seventh ray is beginning to dominate the world—the ray of ceremonial magic which brings the especial cooperation of the Angelic hosts, of which Masonry itself with its many coloured pageant of rites is a splendid manifestation.” One would do well to abscond from it as the rat doth flee the sinking ship: “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” - Isaiah 55:7. Concerning the following sentiment, Ms. Besant is gravely mistaken, and very greatly deceived: 221

“Thinking now for a moment of that one great Being who in the West is spoken of as the Christ, He (Christ) is regarded by all who have gone deeply into these matters as the Supreme Teacher of all the religions of the world. Put in another phrase, that Mighty One whom you speak of as the Christ is the same individual as the Buddhist speaks of as the Bodhisattva. You are worshipping the same individual, although perhaps most in both the religions would feel offended at the idea. When talking not very long ago with a Buddhist monk, I told him that the Bodhisattva—the Lord Maitreya—was the same as the Christian Lord Christ, and he was shocked at the idea; to him it was a blasphemy; just as it may be to some of you but a blasphemy to think that the One whom you reverence as the Christ is worshipped under another name in eastern lands. But to me, it is one of the most beautiful of things to think that the millions of the Buddhist world who bow the knee to the Bodhisattva send up their love and their prayers to the same mighty Being as the One to whom the millions of Christendom bow down in homage. To realise that both are worshipping the same mighty One seems to me so fair a thing; religions are nearer than they dream, and worshippers are joined in prayers although distinct in the names to which those prayers are addressed. Surely it is a greater thing, a gladder thing, to know that your Christ is worshipped by myriads who have never heard His Name; for to Him all prayers to the God-Man go up, and it matters not whether they name the Lord Maitreya, the Lord Krishna, the Lord Christ; they are but three names of One who presides over all (a concept known as Monism)...” - Mysticism by Annie Besant Also, compare to Oahspe: A Kosmon Bible in the Words of Jehovih and his Angel Embassadors 5.5 by John Ballou Newbrough, 1882 A.D. which writes of “the Lord God of Maitraia” (a variant spelling of Maitreya) of whom it was said “guarded the earth (as a guardian angel)…so that, in heaven, the Lords and the Divan (angelic) hosts, in mirth (as an inside joke of sorts), styled him The Savior of Men!” They’re laughing at you as we speak. Aleister Crowley

Oxford University alumn Aleister Crowley invoked the angel Azazel under the guise of Choronzon (also known as Khoronzon, the Master of Form in the Enochian Magic system of Dr. John Dee), the Angel of the Abyss alternatively known as Ra-Hoor-Khuit (it was 222

believed that if one could discover a demon’s true name, one may thereby gain mastery over it). One of Aleister Crowley’s professed goals (towards which end all practitioners of Magick work) is the “establishment of the Kingdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit (read: the angel of the abyss, Azazel) upon the earth” (See De Arte Magica). Choronzon/Khoronzon is cognate with the name of the Greek god Chronos/Cronos/Kronos, the serpentine god who likewise represented the fallen angel Azazel. Compare to British occultist Nigel Jackson who also works in preparation for the coming reign of Azazel and minces no words about it: “For the Religion of the Horned One (the Horned God of the witches), closely concealed in the conclaves of the wise (wice/wicca) through centuries of persecution (by the Church), is now revealed to those with ears to hear and eyes to see and wit to understand—the cultus of the Horned Dragon-Serpent waxeth in might and will be established in strength upon the earth, his kingdom, his chosen hierarchs once again move amongst men and women, uttering the oracles of the Black Goat** and preparing the way for the glorious reign of our Master, great Azazel.” – p.12 Masks of Misrule, Nigel Jackson, 1996 A.D. (** The Hebrew word for ‘goat’ is the same word used to denote a ‘demon,’ hence the use of a goat as a symbol for a fallen angel, and is reminiscent of Azazel’s depiction as the Horned God. Azazel is the the beast with the “horns like a lamb” [the lamb being a symbol of the Messiah, in Azazel’s case the false Messiah] which speaks “like a dragon” as prophesied in Revelation 13:11. Azazel is associated with a goat [the ‘scapegoat’] as related in The Bible in Leviticus Chapter 16)

The Ariosophic False Prophet “Ahrimanic powers prepare the evolution of mankind in such a way that it can fall a prey to Ahriman (Azazel) when he appears in human form within Western civilization… Ahriman (Azazel) will appear in human form (as the False Prophet) and the only question is, how he will find humanity prepared. Will his preparations have secured for him as followers the whole of mankind that today calls itself civilized, or will he find a humanity that can offer resistance.” - The Ahrimanic Deception by Rudolph Steiner, 1919 A.D.

“…a great part of mankind today is already under the control…of Ahrimanic forces…the Ahrimanic influence…will increase in strength 223

until an actual incarnation of Ahriman (Azazel) takes place among Western humanity.” - The Ahrimanic Deception by Rudolph Steiner, 1919 A.D. (As we learn from S.F. Dunlap in Vestiges of the Spirit-History of Man, Amon-Horus [Azazel] = Horammon, to which this author would add, Horammon is a cognate of the word Ahriman. ‘Amon’ translates as ‘the hidden one’) The Freemasonic Savior

“The (Freemasonic) worshippers of Lucifer (Satan)…co-operate with him in order to insure his triumph, and he communicates with them to encourage and strengthen them; they work to prepare his kingdom, and he promises to raise up a Saviour among them, who is anti-Christ (the False Prophet/False Christ Azazel), their leader and their king (mlk) to come.” - Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry (L. Fouquet, 1898 A.D.) Part II (The Freemasonic legend concerning Hiram Abiff was yet another variation of the story of Azazel’s entrapment within the earth, including his later prophecized release, whereupon he is hailed as the messiah/false prophet. The Mysteries of Freemasonry reveals: “Hiram Abiff represents…the Messiah.” The Freemasonic “Grand Master” Hiram Abiff is but a falsemessiah, representing the False Prophet who is to come: “…the legend of Hiram and his assassins is a Jewish substitute for the Egyptian representation of the murder of Osiris; and…the legend of Hiram is an allegory of the Saviour; so that the representation of the death of Hiram is a middle link, connecting the death of the Cross to the death of Osiris.” – Freemasonry, “By a Master Mason,” New York, 1828 A.D. Indeed: “A very limited knowledge of the history of primitive worships and mysteries is necessary to enable any person to recognize in the master mason Hiram, the Osiris of the Egyptians, the Mithras of the Persians, the Bacchus of the Greeks, the Atys of the Phrygians, of which these people celebrated the passion, death and resurrection, as Christians celebrate to-day that of Jesus Christ.” - p.392 A General History of Freemasonry, Rebold, 1879 A.D. However, unlike Jesus, these other gods represent the beastly False Prophet who is to come, the false christ Azazel, though many will hail Azazel as Jesus come in the flesh. Do not be thereby deceived)

The Grecian Savior According to Tooke’s Pantheon of the Heathen Gods and Illustrious Heroes (1823 A.D.), the Greeks called their god Jupiter (who represented Azazel) Soter/Servator, a title which translates as the ‘savior.’ The Eleventh Hour A crescent-shaped quarter moon occurs at the occult 11th hour on July 26, 2016 A.D. at precisely 2300 hours, nearly one week to the day after Azazel’s release on July 19, 2016 A.D. This is the “eleventh hour” of which Matthew 20:6 speaks in parabolic form. Expect a momentous day. Many shall die for their faith in Jesus at this time, as 224

this parable so alludes. As an extra added note, according to the Hutchinson Educational Encyclopedia (Helicon Publishing Ltd 2000), the word ‘eleventh’ is etymologically related to the Old English words ‘endlufon/endleofan,’ the Old Teutonic ‘ainlif-,’ the Gothic ‘ainlif’ (to which, incidently, is esoterically associated the acronym for ‘alien life form,’ namely ALF, the group to which alien angelic life-forms do so in fact belong), the Icelandic ‘ellifu’ and the German and Dutch word ‘elf.’ ‘Elf,’ plural ‘elves,’ are the German and Dutch words used when referring to Azazel and his fallen angels. The ‘eleventh’ hour by definition specifically pertains to Azazel and his fallen angels. The eleventh hour, which is to say, the hour of the elves, is Azazel’s darkest hour. The Location of Azazel’s Cherub As we learn from 1Enoch XX.1-8, Uriel (Ur-i-el) is one of the “holy angels who watch” (a Watcher), who is the angel set to watch “over Tartarus,” quite literally. The name of the city-state of Ur, Abraham’s own hometown, is referenced in this angel’s name. Tartarus, where it is said Azazel and his angels are entrapped, lies beneath the earth in this vicinity, this being the same general geographical area as the city-state of Eridu (today on the site of ancient Eridu is the village of Tell Abu Shahrain in Iraq**), located near the Euphrates River (the following lamentation is indicative of the angel’s presence: “In the abode of Ur dark is thy [Azazel’s] house [his EKUR/cherub], in the city dark is thy house.” - p.58 Tammuz and Ishtar by S. Langdon, 1914 A.D.). (**The word Iraq is derived from Uruk, an ancient Sumerian city [an area later known as Babylonia])

The location where Azazel is imprisoned, and from which place he is later released, is identified in Revelation 9:13-15 as being (like Eridu**) “at the great river Euphrates” in the Middle East: “Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound (beneath the earth) at the great river Euphrates.” So the four angels (including Azazel) were released…” - Revelation 9:13-14,15 (**Pertinent Quote: “After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridu.” – Sumerian King List) 225

Azazel is one of these “four angels” and this scripture provides a clue as to the general location of the desert called Duidain (‘dain’ means ‘valley’), also known as Dudael (again, note the similarities), where Azazel was imprisoned within the Earth. Both Ur and Eridu were located along the Euphrates River (note the etymological similarities between Eridu and Duidain). A tremendous earthquake will rock this area on July 18/19, 2016 A.D. on the day of the heliacal rising of Sirius, thereby releasing Azazel’s cherub, and with it Azazel and his accompanying cohort, from the igneous coffin in which he is encased (“From remotest antiquity the festival [the Festival of Sirius] represented Tammuz [who is Azazel] disappearing beneath the waves of the subsiding Euphrates [representing the subsiding waters of the Flood. He was entrapped beneath the earth near the Euphrates River], and later the mother too wandering in Aralu [the place of Azazel’s under earth entrapment], arousing her son from the sleep of death, ascending with him at last in her bosom [analogous of Azazel’s future release], restoring him to the weeping multitude of Erech [in the land of Shinar]. All natural and astral conditions favoured an immediate identification of the goddess with the newly risen [helical rising] star [Sirius]. This identification must have taken place as early as the dynasty of Ur…In their liturgies which were sung at the wailings of Tammuz they represent the mother wandering in Sheol [the place of Azazel’s under earth entrapment], beseeching the queen of those dark regions to allow her star to return to earth. It is probable that the Sumerians ended the festival of the Tammuz wailings by a feast of joy and gladness when Sirius rose [celebrating its helical rising] on the eastern horizon [which takes place on July 19th in 2016 A.D.]. The ordinary name for Sirius is kak-lan Q or Bow Star, since Ishtar as goddess of war carries a bow, but the name kak-si-dt or Javelin Star (tartahti) [compare ‘tartahti’ to Tahuti and Tartarus] was also used for a Canis Majoris [the Dog Star, Sirius].” - pp.168-169 footnote, Tammuz and Ishtar).

The word ‘Pharaoh’ is the Hebrew form of the Egyptian word Per-‘o, meaning ‘great house.’ Related to this is the name Baal-Peor, which means ‘Lord of the Great House,’ which was the name of the Moabite god mentioned in The Bible in Numbers 25:3, a god which also represented Azazel. The Assyrian word ‘Easagila’ in a like manner means ‘magnificent house.’ The ‘Easagila’ was the name of the temple of Marduk, a god who was also known as Ashur, both gods 226

representing the angel Azazel. The great/magnificent temple/house as such represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth, inside of which he is entrapped within the Earth. Temples were often built in representation of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth in its function as a place wherein the god/angel Azazel dwelt in idol form under a variety of different names. Enki’s (Azazel’s) E-Abzu, by definition his subterranean house, was also a representation of Behemoth within which Azazel, represented as Enki (also known as Ea; note this root in the word ‘Easagila’), is entrapped within the Earth (at times referred to as the earth-man, the demon said to dwell within the earth). The “four angels” mentioned in Revelation 9:14 above, the four angels entrapped within Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, including Azazel himself, are also mentioned in the Egyptian “Pyramid Text of Unas” Line 599 where is mentioned the “four gods who are in the great house.” Angels in ancient times were often worshipped as gods. The ‘great house’ of the “Pyramid Text of Unas” represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. Egyptian Book of the Dead Plates V and VI B.D. Chap. LXXII speaks of the god Osiris who represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth and by association Azazel as “lord of brightness, thou who art head of the Great House (Behemoth), and who dwellest in night and in thick darkness,” within the dark recesses of the Earth. In Egypt, it the Pyramid of Gizah was used to represent the tomb of the god Thoth (who was the equivalent of the Greek god Hermes and the Roman god Mercury). Thoth/Hermes represented the angel Azazel and his pyramid/tomb represented his cherub Behemoth within which he was entombed within the rock beneath the earth, the so-called Underworld (E. A. Wallis Budge in The Egyptian Heaven and Hell, explains: “each tomb was intended to represent the Underworld.”). This belief originated in the land of Sumer. Ziggurats (step-pyramids) likewise representing Azazel’s cherub Behemoth were found at the city of Ur. The Biblical Tower of Babel was itself a ziggurat/step-pyramid with a temple dedicated to the god Marduk/Azazel at its summit. Likely such a ziggurat was erected over the area where Azazel lay entrapped. And likely this was the Biblical Tower of Babel. The tower was said to be built at the site where the descendents of Noah’s family, the survivors of the Flood, settled in the “plain of Shinar” (Sumer) as set forth in the Genesis 11:2. This tower was built over the site where Azazel was interred within the Earth. Azazel’s Workmen 227

The story of Azazel’s and his angel’s entrapment inside their cherubim within the Earth is also the basis for the legend concerning the demons said to have been confined by King Solomon in a magic bronze vessel as related in the 17th Century grimoire called The Lesser Key of Solomon. This tale also has parallels to the entrapped genie in the magic lamp of the Arabian Nights stories, as the genie therein represents an angel whilst the lamp represents the angel’s cherub. The evil ifrit are called the “seed of Iblis” (Iblis=Satan) in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, also known as Arabian Nights. The word ‘ifrit’ means ‘rebellious;’ the evil ifrit of the book representing rebellious angels. Arab magicians are called Muqarribun, their traditions predating Islam itself. Through the use of magic, practitioners believe they can control the spirits (jinn; genii) and exploit them to their advantage, by obliging them to serve their master (compare to the story of Aladdin’s Lamp). In Arabian countries the jinn, who represent rebellious fallen angels, are associated with magic. Spells are used to control them and to enslave them or as protection against them. In fact, the magical use of talismans and amulets goes hand in hand alongside Muhammadism itself (as is also true of Catholicism which employs ‘medals’ of the Patron Saints which are likewise worn as charms for protection). The noted Freemason Manly P. Hall, in his Lectures on Ancient Philosophy reveals that: “From the Arabians C. R. C. (the Rosicrucian Christian Rosenkrantz [RoseCross]) also learned of the elemental peoples and how, with their aid, it was possible to gain admission to the ethereal world where dwelt the genii and nature spirits. He thus discovered that the magical creatures of the Arabian Nights Entertainment actually existed…He was further instructed concerning…the rituals of magic and invocation…and the binding of the genii.” What he learned in truth was of the jinn entrapped within the desert, of Azazel and of his angels! This knowledge he brought with him to Germany, and armed therewith he established the Rosicrucian Society which was dedicated to this goal, circa 1400 A.D. The group’s publication of the Fama Fraternitatis in 1607 A.D. (the year the first permanent settlement in North America was established at Jamestown in Virginia) and the Confessio Fraternitatis in 1616 A.D. broadcast these beliefs to the world. Indeed, according to Chapter IV of the Confessio Fraternitatis, Rosicrucians, as do all practitioners of magic, appeal for help from angels and spirits for the revelation of God’s mysteries. It must be 228

noted German Protestant Reformer Martin Luther (b. 1483 –d. 1546 A.D.) was a perported Rosicrucian, with Luther’s personal seal incorporating a Rosicrucian (rose-cross) motif. Martin Luther officially split with the Roman Catholic Church with his posting of the famous 95 Thesis, a decidedly key event in the Churches storied decline. The following selection from Egyptian Book of the Dead Plates V and VI B.D. Chapter I speaks of the Egyptians belief that it was possible to gain entrance into the underworld where dwelt Azazel: “Osiris (Behemoth/Azazel) the chief of Amenta, the lord of eternity (the eternally living, possessed of an eternal life)…chief of the company of his gods; and…Anubis (Azazel) [dweller] in the tomb (Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, entrapped within the earth, was considered to be his ‘tomb’), great god, chief of the holy dwelling (the Great House, aka Behemoth). May they grant that I may go into and come out from the underworld…that I may go forth into the presence of [Osiris] (Osiris = Behemoth within which Azazel is entrapped)…” The Egyptians falsely taught (and handsomely profited thereby) that the living might enter and leave the underworld at will. They even wrote books concerning this subject: “The beginning of the chapters…of coming forth from and going into the underworld.” - The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate V Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XII B.D. Chap. XVIII states: “Grant…that I may enter into and come forth from the netherworld,” the “netherworld” wherein was entrapped Azazel and his rebellious angels. The esoteric knowledge concerning the rebellious fallen angels formed the fundamental principles underlying all subsequent magick systems. The grimoire known as The Greater Key of Solomon speaks of “assemblies” of “Evil and rebellious Spirits (read: angels) dwelling in the Abysses of Darkness” whom its practitioners sought to “conjure” (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VII). Translated from manuscripts found in the British Museum, this 229

manuscript was translated by S. L. MacGregor Mathers, a 19th Century magician who was head of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (the Golden Dawn, founded in 1887 A.D., was an offshoot of the English Rosicrucian Society [SRIA] and consisted largely of leading Freemasons). This work influenced many magic orders including that of Mathers’ himself and of those magic orders founded by such Freemasonic practitioners of magick Aleister Crowley and Eliphas Levi. The manuscript itself reveals the rebellious fallen angel Azazel as being “ye who by your own sin have been cast down from the Empyreal Heaven, and from before His (God’s) Throne; by Him (God) who hath cast ye (Azazel) down unto the most profound of the Abysses of Hell (read: Hades, beneath the earth)” (See The Greater Key of Solomon Book I Chapter VI). Europe itself is steeped in magic tradition (as lately exemplified by the Harry Potter series): “…cunning folk in Britain were professional or semi-professional practitioners of magic active from at least the fifteenth up until the early twentieth century. As cunning folk, they practiced folk magic - also known as "low magic" although often combined this with elements of "high" or ceremonial magic…One of the most common services that the cunning folk provided was in combating the effects of malevolent witchcraft and the curses which these witches had allegedly placed upon people…One of the best known means by which the cunning-folk opposed witchcraft was through the use of witch bottles; ceramic bottles containing such items as urine, nails, hair and nail clippings which it was believed, when put together, would cause harm to the malevolent witch.” – Wikipedia: Cunning folk in Britain. (One may successfully argue that cunning folk do in fact exist unto this day! It must be noted England retained anti-witchcraft laws called Witchcraft Acts upon its books in one form or another often mandating the death or imprisonment of the offender from the year 1542 A.D. until the day of their ultimate repeal in 1951 A.D. In essence, an anti- anti-witchcraft law was built right into the United States Bill of Rights First Amendment to the United States Constitution by these cunning English Freemasonic colonialists: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” No doubt the fate of the witch-craft acts was sealed in the post-World War II years with Britain’s acceptance of the U.N. charter. The Preamble to the United Nations General Assembly Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 18 (A/RES/3/217 A) (10 December 1948) states: “Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.”)

Witch-bottles used to combat the malevolent magic of the 230

witches have been found on both sides of the Atlantic in America and Europe. Cunning folk often provided their services for a price. Germany and France also had their own versions of the cunning folk (one of the most famous examples of European ‘cunning-folk’ is the group known as the Gypsies). Anyways, it is said Aleister Crowley was an initiate of such an English cunning man named George Pickingill. Pickingill is said to have had a major influence on the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) as well as on the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Aleister Crowley, like S. L. MacGregor Mathers, was also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. In his book Liber Samekh, which has as its stated goal “the Attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel during the Semester of His performance of the Operation of the Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage,” Aleister Crowley invokes the angel Azazel under the ancient Egyptian names/titles of Azazel, namely Ptah, Apopphrasz, Khonsu, and Abrasax, calling him the Lion-Serpent in esoteric reference to the Genesis serpent Azazel’s later expected appearance as the false-prophet Messiah Lion-of-the-Tribe-of-Judah. The invocation states: “Hear me, and make all Spirits subject unto Me; so that every Spirit (read: every fallen angel) of the Firmament and of the Ether: upon the Earth and under the Earth, on dry land and in the water; of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire, and every Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me.” The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Rosicrucians and the Vril Society were entities closely associated with Madam Blavatsky’s powerful and well organized Theosophical Society. In fact, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master S.L. MacGregor Mathers was a member of the London lodge of the Theosophical Society. The Theosophical Society established its branch in America in New York City in 1875 A.D. Theosophy is a religious philosophy based on ancient esoteric religious teachings and associated magic practices, being tasked in comparative religious studies (some famous Theosophical Society members include L. Frank Baum [author of Rosicrucian-themed The Wizard of Oz and other occult-laced children’s books], William Butler [W.B.] Yeats [Irish poet who also served as Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn], Yeat’s friend/poet Ezra Pound, Lewis Carroll [author 231

of Alice in Wonderland, also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. An Oxford University attendee, Lewis Carroll was a suspect in the ‘Jack the Ripper’ murders commited in 1888 A.D. which took place in the East End of London. Seeing that the The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was itself created in 1888 A.D., it seems quite possible the ‘Jack the Ripper’ murders were perhaps the celaboratory kick off to the creation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

For additional information, see also Chapter CVI entitled The Fabian Society from Occult Theocrasy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller). It must be noted that Oxford University attendee and alleged 33° Freemason Tony Blair, former Chairman of the Fabian Society/Labour Party Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is the Quartet’s envoy to the Middle East involved in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks (the British Evening Post newspaper once reported: “Tony Blair worked for MI5 [Britain’s domestic Military Intelligence division’ before he became Labour leader.”)]. This highlights the greater Theosophical Movement’s control [read: Azazel and the fallen angel’s control] over the great British Commonwealth [today an association of 54 nations on six continents primarily comprised of independent countries from the former British Empire and headed by Great Britain], as well as the establishment of its influence over the fate of the modern state of Israel [it must be noted Tony Blair is a reputed attendee of past Bohemian Grove ceremonies. Another devotee of Middle East peace, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, was also a well known member of the Bohemian Club in California and was affiliated with the CFR as well]. The Theosophical Society as well as the greater Theosophical Movement [included in which is Freemasonry] are Synarchist constructs and governing tools of the rebellious fallen angels. It is pertinent to note the Latin word ‘labor/labour’ is a cognate of the the English word ‘elf.’ Elves are folkloric representations of the 233

rebellious fallen angels [the word ‘el’ in the word ‘elf/elves’ is a root of the word ‘angel.’ Elves are well known for the magic practices they were said to employ. The Labour Party is so-named in their honor, as it is they who revealed to mankind the magical art of alchemy— alchemical adepts of the hermetic sciences are known as Labourers (See p.91 The Mystery of the Cathedrals by ‘Fulcanelli’)]). The following was published in a Time© magazine article in 1946 A.D., a testament to the times: “Such eminent scientists as Alfred Russell Wallace, Sir William Crookes (a member of the Theosophical Society, Sir William Crookes, a vaunted [al]chemist/physicist was additionally a Fellow of the Royal Society and served as president of both the Society for Psychical Research [SPR] and the Ghost Club, all of which were engaged in Spiritualist magic practices and psychical research from one degree to another [among the subjects of Crookes’ studies being the Spiritualist medium D.D. Home]. Sir William Crookes was also a known member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [initiated in 1890 A.D. See p.70 The Place of Enchantment: British Occultism and the Culture of the Modern by Alex Owen, 2007 A.D.]; note the crossover membership as all of these organizations were all basically interrelated) and Thomas Edison became members of her (Madame Blavatsky’s) Theosophical Society…When Alfred, Lord Tennyson (also a Fellow of the Royal Society)…died (in 1892 A.D.), a copy of Madame’s mystical poem, The Voice of the Silence, lay on the table beside his bed.” – Religion: Theosophy’s Madame, Time © November 11, 1946 A.D. (Notable Quote: “It was written of Tennyson just after his death: ‘It is understood that he believed that he wrote many of the best and truest things he ever published under the direct influence of higher intelligences [automatic-writing by definition], of whose presence he was distinctly conscious. He felt them near him, and his mind was impressed by their ideas [this being indicative of an Overshadowed state]…’” – pp.293-294 Cosmic Consciousness by Richard Maurice Bucke, 1901 A.D.)

Indeed: “Theosophy was the name finally given to the whole vast renaissance in the world of magic (which involves Spiritualism and the invocation 234

of the rebellious fallen angels) that affected many thinkers so profoundly at the beginning of the century.” – The Dawn of Magic, Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier,1960 A.D., aka The Morning of the Magicians

As explained by Theosophist Geoffrey Farthing: “…Theosophy is religion, and the Society [read: the Theosophical Society] its one Universal Church…” - The Right Angle by Theosophist Geoffrey Farthing. And the religion this ‘church’ expounds is magic in all its forms.

The Theosophical Society is devoted to the study of Theosophy. Magic is an all-important part of The Great Work wrought by the greater Theosophical Movement. The Theosophical Society espoused magic: “We have also to consider another class of entities which are frequently employed in magic; and this time we are dealing with real and evolving beings…There are vast hosts of these beings, and an almost infinite number of types and classes and tribes among them. Broadly speaking, we may divide them into two great classes (a) nature-spirits or fairies (an elf is considered a nature-spirit), and (b) angels or, as they are called in the East, devas (Author’s Note: Both of these classes are one and the same, the first class being British folkloric representations of the angels of this second class). This second class begins at a level corresponding to the human (representing an incarnate angel), but reaches up to heights far beyond any that humanity has as yet touched, so that its connection with magic is naturally of the slightest kind, and belongs solely to one special type of it, of which we shall speak presently. The nature-spirits have been called by many different names at different periods and in various countries. We read of them as fairies, elves, pixies, kobolds, sylphs, gnomes, salamanders, undines, brownies, or “good people” and traditions of their occasional appearance exist in every country under heaven (these, however, are simply various folk-loric representations of the rebellious fallen angels). They have usually been supposed to be merely the creations of popular superstition, and it is no doubt, true that much has been said of them which will not bear scientific investigation. Nevertheless it is true that such an evolution does exist…they possess powers and methods of their own, and sometimes they can be either induced or compelled to put these powers at the 235

service of the student of occultism (through magic invocation)…They can therefore readily be dominated by the exercise of mesmeric powers, and can then be employed in many ways to carry out the will of the magician. There are many purposes for which they may be utilized, and so long as the tasks prescribed to them are within their power they will be faithfully and surely executed…All this will no doubt seem strange and new to many minds, but any student of the occult will confirm what I have said here as to the existence of these beings and the possibility that they can be used in various ways by one who understands them…The forces to which I have referred are those most commonly employed in ordinary types of magic…We may usefully divide the subject of magic into two great parts, according to the methods which it employs; and we may characterize these respectively as methods of evocation and of invocation – of command and of entreaty. Let us consider the former first. Although it may act through many different channels, the one great force at the back of all magic of this first type is the human will...By this magnetic control may be gained over any of the classes of nature-spirits…Indeed it is scarcely possible to fix the limits of the power of the human will when properly directed; it is so much more far-reaching than the ordinary man ever supposes, that the results gained by its means appear to him astounding and supernatural…We find abundant traces of this magic of command in the ceremonies connected with almost every religion in the world…” - Some Glimpses of Occultism (C.W. Leadbeater, 1919 A.D.) Chapter VIII (This book treats extensively on the subject of magic)

Leadbeater explains: “The highest system of evolution connected with this earth, so far as we know, is that of the Beings whom Hindus call the Devas, and have elsewhere been spoken of as Angels, Sons of God, etc...Their attention can be attracted by certain magical evocations, but only Adepts of the First Ray have power to command their obedience.” - Some Fundamental Teachings by C W Leadbeater

And again: “Magic...is truly, as its name implies, the great science (compare to Francis Barret who calls magic a “good and laudable science”)...The difference between White (mageia) and Black (goetia) Magic lies in 236

the motive...when that Will is set to benefit others, to help and bless all who come within its scope, then is the man a White Magician, and the results which he brings about by the exercise of his trained Will** are beneficial, and aid the course of human evolution...But when the Will is exercised for the advantage of the lower self, when it is employed for personal ends and aims, then is the man a Black Magician, a danger to the race, and his results obstruct and delay human evolution...” - Study in Consciousness: A Contribution to the Science of Psychology by Annie Besant (**For detailed information on and techniques used in the training of the magicians Will see The Tree of Life: A Study in Magic by psychologist/ceremonial magician Israel Regardie) (Notable Quote by those in the Know: “…the Black Magician believes it is his duty to destroy good and defile innocence.” – Diary of a Witch by Sybil Leek, 1968 A.D.)

Though magic practices were embraced by the learned members of the Theosophical Society (such as Judge and Leadbeater), it was not, professedly, a practice meant for the masses. William Q. Judge, one of the original founders of the Theosophical Society, in his magazine The Path: Considerations On Magic (1887 A.D.) cautions his followers: “Occultism and magic are not child’s-play, as many may learn to their sorrow…Let all who have joined the Theosophical Society remember this, and search their hearts before taking the first step in any magical formulary.” Many a soul has thereby been lost. One of the purposes of the ancient Egyptian system of magic was to gain mastery and control over Azazel and his angels, who were the Egyptian ‘gods’ who were said to be imprisoned within the earth, compelling these angels to do their bidding. An invocation found in the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVI B.D. Chap. XXVII, speaking of Azazel and the angels who are imprisoned with him within the earth, says: “O ye lords of eternity, ye possessors of everlastingness…be obedient unto me in the underworld.” In deference to the fact that the Egyptian system of magic centered upon the belief in the angel Azazel imprisoned within the earth along with his angelic followers, Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XIV B.D. Chap. XVIII states: “Now as concerning every (magic) charm and all the words (spells) which may be spoken against me, may the gods (read: Azazel and the angels imprisoned with him) resist them, and may each and every company of the gods withstand them.” Practitioners of black magic often used the angels as weapons aimed at other persons, against other practitioners of magic in particular. The Vril Society (also known as The Luminous Lodge) was a 237

secret society founded in Berlin, Germany, by a group of Berlin Rosicrucians being based on English politician (1st Baron Lytton) and author Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel The Coming Race (1871 A.D.) about an advanced group of men said to be residing within the Earth and of who it is said will later emerge to rule over the world. Said to once inhabit the Earth’s outer surface, the group was forced to retreat underground many thousands of years ago by a natural catastrophe similar in nature to that of the Biblical Flood. This group was said to be trained in the application of the vril force, which can be used to control the physical world, including the minds and bodies of others. If this story sounds familiar it should, the story of course being based upon Bulwer-Lytton’s esoteric knowledge concerning Azazel and his group of fallen angels who are currently entrapped within the earth, including the influence they exert upon mankind. Bulwer-Lytton (a Grand Patron [1871-73 A.D.] of the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, a magic practicing group which accepted only Master Masons as members) wrote on many themes including the occult. Indeed, this novel was, as we learn from the words of Bulwer-Lytton himself, predicated on: “The superstitious belief, common to miners, that gnomes or fiends dwell within the bowels of the earth,” the gnomes/fiends representing, of course, Azazel and his group of fallen angels. Bulwer-Lytton was a member of the British House of Lords, as well as a minister of the state (MP), colonial administrator under the Illuminous Lord Palmerston. It is of the very most of important notes that Bulwer-Lytton was associated with the California Theatre located in San Francisco, California U.S.A. (the theatre was built by William Ralston, also known as "the magician of San Francisco," treasurer of the Bank of California). In fact, the California Theatre opened on January 18, 1869 A.D. with a homage performance of a Bulwer-Lytton play (Shakespeare’s plays [replete with tales of magic and super-natural beings] were also a major theatrical mainstay. It must also be noted such theatres in general also hosted Stage Magic acts). One of the members of the stock company responsible for the theatre’s construction was Henry “Harry” Edwards. Edwards was a Founding Member of the Bohemian Club (founded in 1872 A.D.) which is also located there in San Francisco, California. Other Founding Members of the Bohemian Club included Daniel O’Connell and a group of San Francisco Chronicle newspaper staffers, a paper which by 1880 A.D. had become the largest circulation newspaper on the West Coast of 238

America. The Bohemian Club owns the Bohemian Grove: “Bohemian Grove is a 2,700-acre (1,100 ha) campground located at 20601 Bohemian Avenue, in Monte Rio, California, belonging to a private San Francisco-based men's art club known as the Bohemian Club. In mid-July each year, Bohemian Grove hosts a three-week encampment of some of the most powerful men in the world.” – Wikipedia: Bohemian Grove). (“Since the first flurry of [UFO] reports in July of 1947, each July brought a definite peak in reports [coinciding with the Bohemian Grove magic ceremonies/Esbats]…The first documented reports of sightings similar to the UFO sightings as we know them today appeared in the newspapers of 1896. In fact, the series of sightings that occurred in that year and the next had many points of similarity with the reports of today. The sightings started in the San Francisco Bay area [which is home to the Bohemian Club and near to the site of the Bohemian Grove] on the evening of November 22, 1896… I tried to find out if the people in these outlying communities saw the UFO before they heard the news from the San Francisco area or afterward, but trying to run down the details of a fifty-six-year-old UFO report is almost hopeless. Once while I was on a trip to Hamilton AFB [Hamilton Air Force Base, former San Francisco Bay Area home to General ‘Hap’ Arnold’s Army Air Force command] I called the offices of the San Francisco Chronicle and they put me in touch with a retired employee who had worked on a San Francisco paper in 1896. I called the old gentleman on the phone and talked to him for a long time. He had been a copy boy at the time and remembered the incident, but time had canceled out the details. He did tell me that he, the editor of the paper, and the news staff had seen “the ship,” as he referred to the UFO. His story, even though it was fifty-six years old, smacked of others I’d heard when he said that no one at the newspaper ever told anyone what they had seen; they didn’t want people to think that they were ‘crazy.’” – The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects Chapter 16 by Edward J. Ruppelt, 1956 A.D. as excerpted from: “Edward J. Ruppelt's memoir of his role in the seminal US Air Force UFO study projects: Projects Sign, Grudge and Blue Book.”) (Author’s Note: The name of the city of Los Angeles [also known as the ‘city of cults’] in California means ‘city of angels,’ the city hosting the L.A. Angels baseball team. California has a long occult history with magic and fallen angels; in fact, in 1968 A.D. Los Angeles County even christened a syndicated astrologer named Louise Huebner [author of the books Power through Witchcraft (1969 A.D.) and Witchcraft for All (1970 A.D.)] as the ‘Official Witch of Los Angeles County,’ the ceremony taking place during a staged folk music ‘Happening’ held at the Hollywood Bowl amphitheater [originally built by a pair of Theosophical Societymembers with Krotona Colony associations] in Hollywood, CA which event included a magic ritual performed by a coven of witches and the casting of a ‘Sex Spell’ designed to “insure the increased Sexual Vitality of the County of Los Angeles.” Louise Huebner’s husband was leading Hollywood production designer/artist Mentor Huebner who had worked on over 250 Hollywood movies [including many Warner Bros. films]). There you will also find the Los Angeles Temple of the Builders of the Adytum (formerly The School of Ageless Wisdom), a self-described “modern Mystery School” specializing in the study and practice of Qabalah [founded by the Master Mason/OTO-member Paul Foster Case], an offshoot of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, twice removed [Paul Foster Case had been a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s Thoth-Hermes Temple located in Chicago, IL founded by British spy Aleister Crowley who resided there for a time along with his disciple Charles Stansfeld Jones (at which time and in which city was published Jone’s book Q.B.L. dedicated to Crowley himself)]. One may trace the Golden Dawn and its offshoots the world over. As Geoffrey Farthing elucidates in The Right Angle concerning the esoteric importance of the designation ‘Builders’: “Throughout the countries of the Orient, wherever magic and the wisdom-religion are studied, its practitioners and students are known among their craft as Builders” (those high-degree magic practicing Masons of this ilk, one classic example being 239

Elias Ashmole, are designated Operative Masons. Those Masons considered mere students of the occult still in the process of procuring such knowledge are known as Speculative Masons; it is these practitioners of magic [Operative Masons] and the students of wisdom-religion [Speculative Masons], who are the “…"Builders"…of which Osiris [Azazel] is the chief” [See Deity, Cosmos and Man by Geoffrey Farthing]). One case in point is the Builders of the Adytum: “The Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A.) is a school of the Western mystery tradition [read: a school of magic in the Platonic tradition] based in Los Angeles which is registered as a non-profit tax-exempt religious organization. It was founded by Paul Foster Case and has its roots in both the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Masonic blue lodge system (as we learn from Proofs of a Conspiracy, it is from the ranks of the Blue Lodge master masons from which the Illuminati are culled)... The Order was founded 1922 by (Dr.) Paul Foster Case (Case was known to be in correspondence with Dr. John William [J.W.] Brodie-Innes, leading member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s Amen-Ra Temple in Edinburgh, Scotland and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Dr. Henry B. Pullen Burry as well as with Aleister Crowley’s ex-secretary Dr. Israel Regardie who himself would later relocate to Los Angeles [the modern day witch Sara Cunningham, aka Lady Sara (as she explains on her website, Lady is a term of respect for a pagan high priestess), was herself mentored in magic by Dr. Israel Regardie. It was Lady Sara who founded the First Temple of Tiphareth circa 1957 A.D., a school of Kabala including a temple for the practice of magic situated in Pasadena, CA, the very temple in which occultist Raven Grimassi got his own start during the mid 1970s, he studying magic under Lady Sara herself. As owner of L'essence [which operated from 1962 – 1980 A.D.], she created through ‘perfume alchemy’ personal perfumes for movie stars [Lady Sara was and I quote “a teacher in the ancient art of witchcraft” whose pupils included “such motion picture luminaries” as June Lockhart (who has appeared in Warner Bros.©, Hal B. Wallis and Arthur J. Rank produced films) and Susan Cabot (who has appeared in no less than six Roger Corman/AIP films [See p.118 The New Pagans])], these perfumes being of an entirely magical nature—as one of her students herself notes: “Perfumery is an olfactory art form—a Tantric and Hermetic art.” Indeed, perfumes are used in ceremonial magic rituals as fumigants “offered as a sweet-smelling offering or sacrifice to the spirit or Angel” whom the practitioner of magic is invoking [See p.109 The Tree of Life: A Study in Magic by Israel Regardie]). Israel Regardie was also a member of the Stella Matutina (Morning Star) occult group, a successor organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (As Doreen Valiente notes in The Rebirth of Witchcraft, Israel Regardie’s book: “The Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic…is the source material from which almost all present-day formal ritual instruction has been adapted.”). Paul Foster Case also had ties to poet/British Intelligent agent Rudyard Kipling [Kipling was an Illuminus denizen of the British Museum (and close confident of British Intelligence chief, Lord Beaverbrook. See p.225 Churchill’s Wizards). Rudyard Kipling’s notable friends include author Sir H. Rider Haggard believed to have been a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (See Living in Fear by Les Daniels). H. Rider Haggard at one point had served as an assistant to Sir Henry Bulwer, a nephew of occultist Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton] with whom he had maintained a correspondence). Paul Foster Case was a senior member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the United States. After a disagreement with Moina Mathers, head of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn and widow of (S.L.) Macgregor Mathers, he left the Golden Dawn (at that time known as Alpha et Omega) along with some former members and formed a separate order (known as the Builders of the Adytum)... Case was ordained a priest by Bishop Charles Hampton in the (Theosophical Society-associated) Liberal Catholic Church in Ojai, California (Ojai was the location of J. Krishnamurti’s residence), in 1937, and served parishes throughout the southern California area.” – Wikipedia: The Builders of the Adytum. Upon Paul Foster Case’s death, he was succeeded as head of the Builders of the Adytum by occultist Ann Davies (Davies had actually lived with the Case’s in their home). Rev. Ann Davies was a major contributor to the resurgent interest in the occult from the mid 1950s through the ’70s through public speeches and lectures at Universities as well as through 240

television and radio appearances. Associated with The Builders of the Adytum was the occult group likewise located in Los Angeles called the Ecclesia Gnostica (The Gnostic Church). From Wikipedia we learn: “…the Ecclesia Gnostica was originally organized in England under the name the Pre-Nicene Gnostic Catholic Church in 1953, by the Most Rev. Richard Jean Chretien Duc de Palatine… Bishop Duc de Palatine also received a charter in 1953 to head an organization first called "the Brotherhood of the Illuminati," renamed "the Order of the Pleroma" in 1960. He received other esoteric lines and charters such as: the Templar Order, Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, Memphis and Mizraim Rites of Freemasonry, and the Martiniste Order (French Illuminist Freemasonry), and termed the combination with the Ecumenical Apostolic Succession ‘the Wisdom Religion-Gnostic Mystic Tradition’… In 1959 the organization became active in the United States through the work of Stephan A. Hoeller, who served as a priest of the church in Los Angeles, and was subsequently consecrated as regionary bishop for the Americas in 1967. He became presiding bishop on the death of Bishop Duc de Palatine in 1977.” Professedly: “Clergy, members and other persons interested in the Gnostic Church often possess Martinist, Masonic, Rosicrucian, Theosophical and similar affiliations and dedications.” - Gnostic Scriptures and The Gnostic Church by Stephan A. Hoeller Bishop, Ecclesia Gnostica (located at 3363 Glendale Blvd. in L.A. near Keystone Studios where actor Charlie Chaplin got his start). Hoeller is also ‘Director of Studies’ of The Gnostic Society founded by Theosophist/H.P. Blavatsky-associate James Morgan Pryse in Los Angeles circa 1928 A.D. For more information see Wikipedia: Gnosticism in modern times). The Gnostic Catholic Church is the ecclesiastical division of the OTO (Aleister Crowley’s Gnostic Catholic Mass is performed regularly in all OTO lodges and Gnostic Catholic Churches). One can certainly see how all of these occult organizations are sinously intertwined and sinisterly interconnected (and one must not discount their Intelligence associations). Other interesting occult venues of note include the CIA-associated Esalen Institute in Big Sur and the associated Vedanta Society of Southern California (headquarted in Hollywood with subcenters in Pasadena, Santa Barbara, San Diego, and Trabuco Canyon). (Another prominent occult landmark, as we learn from Wikipedia, was also established in San Francisco: “The Church of Satan was established at the Black House in San Francisco, California, on Walpurgisnacht, April 30, 1966, by Anton Szandor LaVey.”) (The Black Rock Burning Man Fest’s May Day counterpart is the How Weird Street Faire held annually May 1st [May Day] in San Francisco, CA whose themes include mythical realms, magic, aliens and UFOs. According to the website http://howweird.org/mythical-realms/: “New this year…We are also introducing an official flying saucer landing zone, adjacent to the center intersection. We have invited all planets to join us in a celebration of universal peace. The landing zone coordinates are 37°47’10.88″N, 122°23’53.50″W.”)

As previously noted, the Bohemian Grove membership list reads as a ‘Who’s Who’ of American Political, Cultural, Financial and Defense interests. In fact, every Republican president since Herbert Hoover in 1933 A.D. has been an attendee of the Bohemian Grove. Past attendees of annual Bohemian Grove festivities include exRepublican Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon (a Council on Foreign Relations [CFR] member), Gerald Ford (CFR member), Ronald W. Reagan (Reagan’s Vice-President George H. W. Bush was a CFR member; had the Reagan assassination attempt been successful, Bush would have become president as a matter of succession), George H. W. Bush (Skull and Bones member/CFR member) and George W. Bush (Skull and Bones member; Bush’s 241

Vice-President Dick Cheney was a CFR member). According to Islamic legend, the Masih ad-Dajjal, the Islamic version of the antichrist, has on his forehead the following letters written: C.F.R. As Navy Intelligence agent William Cooper who himself had had access to classified information notes on p.80 Behold a Pale Horse that the CFR [along with the associated Trilateral Commission] is an Illuminati construct). Other prominent members of the Bohemian Club/Bohemian Grove attendees include James Baker (CFR member and Chief of Staff under two successive Republican administrations, Reagan and Bush I), Barry Goldwater (a Republican Party nominee for president in the 1964 election), Henry Kissinger (CFR member and Secretary of State under the Nixon and Ford Republican presidential administrations—Kissinger had served as an OSS agent during WWII and at one point worked as an interpreter for DCI Allen Dulles. Kissinger [born: Loeb (think: Kuhn, Loeb)] was of German-Jewish ancestry being born in Bavaria, home to the Illuminati), George P. Shultz (Secretary of State under the Reagan Republican presidential administration), Donald Rumsfeld (Nixon cabinet member, Secretary of Defense under the Ford and Bush II Republican presidential administrations), Caspar Weinberger (Secretary of Defense under the Reagan presidential administration), William Howard Taft (27th President of the United States; like Bush I and Bush II, Taft was a Yale Skull and Bones member), Jimmy Carter (39th President of the United States; prominent Middle East peace negotiator/CFR member/UFO contactee) and Chester William Nimitz (5-Star U.S. Navy Admiral). Another Bohemian Club member of note is Yale University Skull and Bones secret society member William F. Buckley Jr., CFR member and personal friend of Bohemian Club member and former Governor of California, Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, whose Vice President was Bohemian Grove/Skull and Bones/CFR member George H.W. Bush, who succeeded Ronald Reagan as president. CFR members have dominated every presidential administration in Washington D.C. since the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 A.D. and ominously enough they even control the CIA. It was because of FDR that America first instituted presidential term limitations. As William Cooper reveals: “The real power (amongst the inner-circle Executive Members of the CFR itself) are men who are always recruited without exception from the secret societies of Harvard and Yale known as the Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key. Both societies are secret branches (also called the 242

Brotherhood of Death) of what is otherwise historically known as the Illuminati. They are connected to parent organizations in England (The Group of Oxford University and especially All Souls College), and Germany (the Thule Society, also called the Brotherhood of Death) (it was the Thule Society from which would spring Adolph Hitler’s Nazi Party. Rember—before Hitler there was Harvard)… George (H.W.) Bush is a member of the Order. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. His father (one-time Republican senator from Connecticut Prescott Bush) was also a member who helped finance (Adolf) Hitler.”** – p.82 Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper (** The Republican Party it must be remembered was greatly peopled at its inception by members of the Illuminati-created Carbonari’s Young Germany Youth Movement group) (As we learn from Inside Secret Societies by Michael Benson: “There is reason to believe that the CFR created the United Nations,” that, “Author Ralph Emerson notes that the first U.S. delegation to the United Nations, when it was headquartered in San Francisco, included 47 members of the CFR.”)

Members of the City Club, the administrators of the Bohemian Grove, is a moniker under which these Bohos/Grovers are alternatively known, and boast that the Manhattan Project, America’s covert project to develop the atomic bomb, was initially conceived at the Bohemian Grove in 1942 A.D. (the so-called Quebec Agreement was signed in 1943 A.D. by British P.M. Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt whereby the coordinated development of the atomic bomb began in earnest as British [as well Canadian] atomic research was then subsumed into the Manhattan Project proper whereunder a sizable team of British and Canadian scientists relocated to the United States for this endeavor including amongst whom was British physicist Mark Oliphant [who hailed from a well known family of British Theosophists] who would work alongside his friend Ernest Lawrence on this project at the Radiation Laboratory located at the University of California, Berkeley). In fact, a man named Robert Gordon Sproul: “Robert Gordon Sproul (May 22, 1891 – September 10 1975) was eleventh President of the University of California (Berkeley) serving from 1930 to 1958 (note the Bohemian Club’s control of the California public collegiate educational curriculum and especially that of the University of California, Berkeley)…Sproul was a member of the Bohemian Club, and sponsored Ernest Lawrence’s (Bohemian Club) membership in 1932…” – Wikipedia. Indeed: “Robert Gordon Sproul was a member of the Bohemian Club, and he sponsored (Ernest) Lawrence’s membership in 1932. Through this club, Lawrence met William Henry Crocker (“His nephew, Harry 243

Crocker, was a movie star in the 1920s and, at one time, the personal assistant of [silent film era actor] Charlie Chaplin.” - Wikipedia), Edwin Pauley (“Several of his deals involved Zapata Corporation [which was involved in the Bay of Pigs operation (codename: Operation Zapata) begun during the Eisenhower administration], run by [then CIA agent] George H.W. Bush, including a joint-venture with Pemargo** in 1960 [**which also involved George H.W. Bush; through a merger, Pemargo would become Pennzoil in 1963 A.D.]. In 1958 he founded Pauley Petroleum which, with Howard Hughes, expanded oil production in the Gulf of Mexico… He was a friend and confidante of U.S. Senator Harry S. Truman (FDR’s V.P. Harry S.Truman who had played a major role in the creation of the CIA would create the NSA by Executive Order on November 4, 1952 A.D. As President, Truman ordered the atomic destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), and through Truman’s influence, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Pauley as Petroleum Coordinator of Lend-Lease Supplies for the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom in 1941.” – Wikipedia), and John Francis Neylan (who served as general counsel for William Randolph Hearst and was a member of the Board of Regents of the University of California, an influential member of the Board’s Finance Committee largely responsible for the University’s role in the development of atomic research). They were influential men who helped him obtain money for his energetic nuclear particle investigations…” - Wikipedia. “Ernest Orlando Lawrence (August 8, 1901 – August 27, 1958) was an American physicist and Nobel Laureate, known for his invention, utilization, and improvement of the cyclotron atom-smasher beginning in 1929, based on his studies of the works of Rolf Widerøe, and his later work in uranium-isotope separation for the Manhattan Project. Lawrence had a long career at the University of California, Berkeley, where he became a Professor of Physics (another notable Manhattan Project physicist from the University of California, Berkeley was J. Robert Oppenheimer).” Wikipedia. The Bible refers to nuclear weaponry as “wickedness,” the penultimate working of ‘natural magic,’ physics itself being an offshoot of alchemy. Interestingly enough, during World War II, the covert American-led allied effort to seize Nazi nuclear secrets and nuclear scientists was code-named the Alsos Mission. ‘Alsos’ is the Greek word for a grove of trees. As per its name, this mission likely did have its genesis at the Bohemian Grove, as is their boast, “weaving spiders” excluded or not (Royal Society Fellow/physicist Ralph H. 244

Fowler who held the Chair of Theoretical Physics in the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge played a leading role in development of the atomic bomb). In fact, theis reference to “weaving spiders” in the Bohemian Grove’s motto is derived from William Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream which itself is replete with tales of magic. Annual Bohemian Grove festivities are always staged at this time in July in keeping with magic tradition as Midsummer Night [July 19/20 sunset to sunset/moonrise to moonrise] is one of the Great Sabbats of the witches which was traditionally staged in forested groves. Indeed, in reference to the expected release of these angels, the ceremonial magician/ritualist at the Bohemian Grove proclaims: “Midsummer sets us free,” speaking for Azazel’s group of fallen angels of course, who are at this time in 2016 A.D. liberated from their earthen imprisonment (Midsummer Day is July 21 [July 20/21 sunset to sunset/moonrise to moonrise]). Bohemian Grove magic ceremonies invoke these rebellious fallen angels, invoking the angel Azazel as the ‘spirit of Bohemia,’ the word ‘Bohemia’ being a cognate of the word ‘Behemoth,’ the name of Azazel’s cherub. The Bohemian Grove itself is dedicated to him. The Horned god of magic Azazel was often historically worshipped in such groves by practitioners of magic. The Cremation of Care Ceremony (whose ritualist burns in effigy a figure which it calls “Dull Care”) held annually at the Bohemian Grove is by definition a magic “banishing” ceremony. This is the Boho’s version of the Egyptian annual rite called the “Banishing of Apep” (in magic systems, banishing rituals go hand in hand with the invocation/evocation of spirits/fallen angels/demons). In regards to the serpent characterization of the angel Azazel, he is represented in the Egyptian stories of Apep (in Greek, Apophis), who was the great serpent (the angel Azazel whose sign is the serpent) believed to be imprisoned and still living entrapped within the Underworld. During an annual Egyptian black magic ceremony called the “Banishing of Apep,” Egyptian priests built an effigy of the serpent Apep and burned it in order to protect the populace from his influences. The Bohemian Grove Cremation of Care magic ceremony has its roots in this practice (the term “dull care” is taken from The Rubaiyat of Sufi adept Omar Khayyam [c. 1123 A.D.], a mystical poem by a master of comparative religions and of the esoteric teachings found therein. Stanza 299 245

relates: “Cast off dull care, O melancholy brother!” while Stanza 198 speaks of “care’s serpent eye.” Serpents are a common motif representing the angel Azazel and are also a common symbol of a cherub. It must be noted at this point that a serpent, which is a symbol of Azazel, is employed as the Bohemian Club logo). Hence the Cremation of Care ceremony is akin to the ceremonies which ritually burn Azazel in effigy, the object being to banish him after previously invoking him. End of magic ceremony! The word ‘care’ itself is in its archaic sense the act of weeping and wailing. Ancient pagan religions commonly wept for the death/entombment of their god—Azazel’s future release will thusly bring an end to such wailings as ‘care’ is then cast off. According to Alan Baker in Invisible Eagle: The History of Nazi Occultism: “It is an assumption of many occultists that The Coming Race is fact disguised as fiction: that Bulwer-Lytton based his engaging novel on a genuine body of esoteric knowledge. He was greatly interested in the Rosicrucians, the powerful occult society which arose in the sixteenth century and which claimed to possess ancient wisdom…Some writers, including Alec Maclellan, author of the fascinating book The Lost World of Agharti (1996 A.D.), have suggested that The Coming Race revealed too much of the subterranean world (wherein Azazel is entrapped), and was as a result suppressed in the years following Bulwer-Lytton's death in 1873. Indeed, he describes the book as ‘one of the hardest to find of all books of mysticism,’ and informs us of his own search for a copy, which for some years met with no success.” Of an interesting note, Annie Besant in Adyar Pamphlet No. 30 entitled Communication between Different Worlds refers to the Theosophical Society as being “the nucleus of the Coming Race.” The English author, playwright and British Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton was a friend of Eliphas Levi, the French occult writer and ceremonial magician, who also associated with Bulwer-Lytton’s father. In fact, hints of a plan for (and I quote) “the formation of a kind of club or ‘school of magic’” can be found in Letter No. 28 (received 1881 A.D.) of The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (described therein as “a ‘hot-bed of magick’), “an organization as mapped out by Mr. Sinnett (A.P. Sinnett would later serve as Theosophical Society president) and yourself” (‘yourself’ being none other than Theosophical Society-member Allan Octavian (A.O.) Hume, 1829 – 1912 A.D; Hume was one of the founders of the Indian 246

National Congress [all of the founders of the Indian National Congress were members of the Theosophical Society], the political party that was later to take the lead in the Indian independence movement under the groomed University of London graduate and member of the Theosophical Society Adyar Mahatma Ghandi [a Sufi mystic] who assumed leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921 A.D. H.P. Blavatsky was a regular visitor at A.O. Hume’s Rothney castle at Simla in India). This letter informs us: “The greatest as well as most promising of such schools (of magic) in Europe, the last attempt in this direction, — failed most signally some 20 years ago in London. It was the secret school for the practical teaching of magick, founded under the name of a club, by a dozen of enthusiasts under the leadership of Lord Lytton’s father (in number, 13, the number in a typical witch’s coven). He had collected together for the purpose, the most ardent and enterprising as well as some of the most advanced scholars in mesmerism and ‘ceremonial magick,’ such as Eliphas Levi, Regazzoni, and the Kopt Zergvan-Bey. And yet in the pestilent London atmosphere the ‘Club’ came to an untimely end” (such a school of magic it should be remembered [the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry] is the setting of the Harry Potter© series of stories, based on a long tradition of British magic practices, and was not simply itself the imaginative creation of a matronly British author of seemingly innocuous children’s books though early indoctrination for the furtherance of any cause has long been a tactic since time immemorial [indeed, in Europe during the Middle Ages, as was also the case in the British Isles: “…Sorcery was adopted as a profession, and witches…were trained in schools of magic to practice their art.” – p.62 Secret Societies and Subversive Movements by Nesta Webster, 1924 A.D.]. Such was also the case with Bulwer-Lytton’s stories. Institutions of higher-learning such as Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England were originally established for the study of occult sciences rooted in arcane magic practices, these being the very institutions where the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order held sway. Over the centuries other such schools of magic have existed including Cosimo de Medici’s Platonic Academy founded during the Renaissance era, it being a reformulation of Plato’s original Academy also devoted to the study of magic. Another such example is the Cambridge University educated astrologer William Gilbert’s (1544-1603 A.D.) magic “…school at which would be taught ‘Astrology and Spirit(ualism) with the nature 247

and use of Talismans’…” of an entirely magic nature, and additionally, as we learn from Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism p.21: “Francis Barrett’s The Magus (1801)…was used as the text book of the school of ritual magic and alchemy which the author established in Marylebone” [Marylebone is an affluent innercity of central London in England]). There also existed the formal Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia devoted to the study as well as implementation of occult magic ceremonial practices, with all of these institutions traditionally hailing back to the colleges of Rome and the Roman Empire of which England was at one time a part). Perhaps the ultimate creation of such a “school of magick” as envisioned and formulated by Theosophical Societymember A.P. Sinnett as set forth in his ‘Letter No. 28’ resulted in the very creation of the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, and to the subsequent creation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as well, as Eliphas Levi, a member of a French lodge of the Theosophical Society, was a known associate of Anna Kingsford, the President of the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society in England. Anna Kingsford later left this lodge and formed the Hermetic Society (Hermetic Societies/Hermetic Orders are based on the writings of Hermes Trismegistus [known as the Corpus Hermeticum], a god who represented none other than the angel Azazel himself, the writings of which profess the existence of Azazel and his group of angels and how they may be contacted). Anna Kingsford’s Hermetic Society was known for giving lectures, featuring as lecturers the likes of the occultist S. L. MacGregor Mathers and the ceremonial magician Dr. William Wynn Westcott. Wescott, a student of Kabbala (Wescott particularly adhered to the Enochian magic system of Dr. John Dee), in addition to being a Master Mason, was Supreme Magus of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (the SRIA, a Rosicrucian Society in England. His day job was actually as Queen’s Coroner for North-East London). S. L. MacGregor Mathers, likewise a Master Mason, gained admittance to the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (a ‘school of magic’ to which only Master Masons were admitted), eventually being appointed Junior Substitute Magus. William Wynn Wescott, with S. L. MacGregor Mathers would found the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the most celebrated member of which was the English ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley, patron of the British Museum (as was fellow Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member S. L. MacGregor 248

Mathers) and propounder of the magic texts and esoteric writings found therein, including of course, The Book of Enoch, which tells the story of Azazel and his angels. The Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia was itself modelled after Rosicrucian societies in Germany (the ‘Fratres of the Golden and Rosy Cross’), including the German Vril Society, founded in Berlin, as must again be noted, by a group of German Rosicrucians, which would later become the inner circle of the infamous Thule Society: “Briefly, the creed of the Thule society inner circle is as follows: Thule was a legendary island in the far north, similar to Atlantis, supposedly the center of a lost, high-level civilization. But not all secrets of that civilization had been completely wiped out. Those that remained were being guarded by ancient, highly intelligent beings (similar to the ‘Masters’ of Theosophy or the White Brotherhood) [‘identical to’ would be in fact a better term to use]. The truly initiated could establish contact with these beings by means of magic-mystical rituals. The ‘Masters’ or ‘Ancients’ allegedly would be able to endow the initiated with supernatural strength and energy. With the help of these energies the goal of the initiated (the magic adepts) was to create a race of Supermen of ‘Aryan’ stock who would exterminate all ‘inferior’ races.” - The Unknown Hitler by Wulf Schwartzwaller (Members of the Theosophical Society believed they were slated to become the nucleus of this race many of whom were at the forefront of the British eugenics movement. As noted by London-born Jewish occultist Israel Regardie in The Tree of Life: A Study in Magic Chapter 1 [released in 1932 A.D. following a four year stint as Aleister Crowley’s secretary], since historically speaking amongst mankind the “appearance of genius, regardless of the several aspects and fields of its manifestation, is marked by the occurrence of a curious phenomenon whose accompaniment is most always vision and ecstasy supreme,” that those “individuals who have received the title of ‘genius’ and named by mankind as of the greatest, have been the recipients of some such inimitable experience,” and inasmuch as this “genius in itself is caused by or proceeds concomitantly with a spiritual experience of the highest intuitional order” in form the outpouring of “a superabundance of energy proceeding from a hidden centre of consciousness,” mankind in general could benefit from a concerted attempt to develop “a species of psychological and spiritual training** to induce” therewith an intentional transformational cognitive experience “within the [human] consciousness” whereby might “arise a mighty new race of supermen,” that “goal whither evolution tends.” Regardie’s conclusion: “Mysticism—Magic and Yoga—is the means, therefore, to a new universal life…” [**which Regardie explains must be based upon ceremonial magic and yoga as “magic proves more efficacious and puissant when combined with the control of the mind which it is the object of Yoga to achieve…One may even state that for true success in all magic a thorough grounding in Yoga technique is an absolute essential.”])

The Theosophic-beliefed Vril Society (by definition a Hermetic Society/Order) was the first German nationalist group to use the 249

symbol of the swastika as an emblem. This was derived from the Theosophical Society Seal which likewise employs a swastika within its emblem. The Thule Society was the organization that sponsored the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (The socialist German Workers [Labour] Party) which was later transformed by Adolf Hitler into the Nazi Party. In fact Azazel and his angels are the German Nazi “underground supermen” [also known as the ‘Unknown Supermen’] said to live beneath the Earth’s surface of whom the Rosicrucian author Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton wrote, and from whom, Hitler professed, he took his marching orders. It must be noted Thule is a Greek word which translates as 'isle of the four Masters,' in reference to the place where Azazel, along with his three angelic companions, lie entrapped within the earth, the place being located as it is between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which area Arabs call ‘The Island.’ Hitler’s ultimate goal was to free these angels. Hitler also claimed to be in communication with them. And Hitler, it is said, was an Adept of Black Magic, while members of Hitler’s feared secret police, the SS (Schutzstaffel), like Hitler himself, were practitioners of black magick and students of the occult. Azazel and his group exerted their influence upon the mind as well as the actions of Adolf Hitler, Hitler becoming an Overshadowed marionette of sorts. Indeed, The Dawn of Magic (by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier; Bergier himself was a survivor of the Mauthausen Nazi concentration camp) states: “When Arthur Machen speaks of the World of Evil, ‘full of caverns and crepuscular beings dwelling therein,’ he is referring, as an adept of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, to that other world in which man comes into contact with the ‘Unknown Supermen.’ It seems certain that Hitler shared this belief, and even claimed to have been in touch with these ‘Supermen.’” End quote. The Unknown Supermen of which he speaks and with whom Hitler was in contact is none other than Azazel and his group of fallen angels who are entrapped within the earth. Amazingly enough, “…with the coming of Nazism it was the "other world" which ruled over us for a number of years…” - The Dawn of Magic by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier, 1960 A.D. By “other world” they occultly reference the Egyptian Amenta wherein was entrapped the fallen angel Azazel. Azazel controlled Germany through his control of Hitler (Hitler under the control of Azazel commenced to slaughtering some 6 million members of Jewish descent, a burnt offering in honor of Azazel. The magic pact which Hitler made with Azazel [the so-called ‘King of the World’] with the aid of Karl 250

Haushofer in 1928 A.D.: “…with whom [Azazel] he [Hitler] communicated through electronic transmitters and an unusual game involving a tarot pack” is mentioned on p.35 Turn Off Your Mind by OTO-member Gary Lachman. The practitioners of magic amongst the radical left during the 1960s era in America following the release of Pauwells and Bergiers book would later follow Hitler’s lead in their attempts at contacting Azazel [Ibid p.36]). It must be mentioned the Welsh author and mystic Arthur Machen was a friend of A. E. Waite and, like Waite, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Waite translated fellow Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Eliphas Levi’s Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie [Dogma and Ritual of High Magic, 1896 A.D.] into English under the title Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual,1910 A.D.). Azazel and his angels are also the German Nazi “underground supermen,” creators (fathers) of the Aryan race which were said to live (or more precisely, are entrapped) beneath the Earth’s surface. Hitler’s ultimate goal was to free them (this group of rebellious angels has a long history of influencing human affairs. According to an October 26, 2007 article by Peter Tremblay on The Canadian website, Adolf Hitler’s: “…chair press officer, Dr. Dietrich testified his belief that Hitler was possessed by demons.” Apparently, “Hitler told his High Command, his belief in the Superman (Azazel) who had ruled the planet in the times of Atlantis and Thule, and after the war of the gods (after the rebellion of the angels) that led to the fall of Atlantis the Superman (the incarnate angel Azazel), who were the Masters of the World, had gone underground.” Hitler specifically has said he: “…took his orders for the Nazi conquest from the Superman (from Azazel!) who lived inside the Earth.” (Author’s Note: Thule is a Greek word which translates as 'isle of the four Masters' in reference to the place where Azazel, along with his three angelic companions, lies entrapped within the earth. Arabs call this area ‘The Island,’ it being located as it is between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. This concept originated with the Egyptians [and to this tale likely belong the legends of Atlantis (the source of which is Plato), the island which submerged beneath the waters (of the flood)]. In Egypt, the four angels who are entrapped within Azazel’s cherub are known as the Four Genii of the Amenthes [of Hades]. The Thule Society was so-named in reverence to the angel Azazel. The angels, hailing from the New Earth, are by definition extraterrestrials) 251

The following selection is excerpted from the February 24 th 2010 A.D. edition of The Canadian: Manipulative Extraterrestrials influenced Adolf Hitler, scholars suggest

When Adolf Hitler spread his message of hatred, genocide, and oppression, as having been "inspired" by a blond race of superhuman warriors referred to as "Aryans", it is assumed through historical accounts that this was simply the contrived mythology of a "madman." These same accounts omit representation that Adolf Hilter was a member of demonic UFO cult worshipping cabals, and was an apparent UFO contactee, by the same Extraterrestrial group which Hilter sought to glorify. "The Nazis themselves claimed that an extraterrestrial society was the source of their ideology and the power behind their organization." Nazi mysticism, indeed, was reportedly a direct product of cult worship to Manipulative Extraterrestrials. The "Nazis referred to their hidden extraterrestrial masters as underground “supermen.” Hitler believed in the “supermen” and claimed that he had once met one of them, as did other members of the Thule (Society) leadership." The Nazis said that their “supermen” resided beneath the Earth’s surface and were the creators of "the Aryan race" (Author’s Note: Compare to the extraterrestrial group of individuals referred to in The Book of Enoch LXXXVI.1 which speaks of the fallen angels when it says: “…there came forth from heaven as it were the likeness of white men…” which were said to have mated with Earth women and later to have been entrapped within the earth). Aryans therefore in Adolf Hitler's reasoning, constituted the world’s only “pure” race and all other people were viewed as "inferior genetic mutations". The Nazis under the reported guidance of Manipulative Extraterrestrials planned to “re-purify” humanity by committing genocide against anyone who was not an Aryan. Top Nazi leaders believed that the underground “supermen” would return to the surface of the Earth to rule it as soon as the Nazis began their racial purification program and established the Thousand Year Reich. These Nazi beliefs are very similar to other religions apparently also guided by Manipulative Extraterrestrials that teach people to prepare for the future return of supernatural beings who will reign over a "Utopian Earth." As in other such religions, the coming of the Nazi “supermen” would coincide with a great final “divine 252

judgment.” Nazi mysticism indeed earned the support of Christian leaders, who shared what Gnostics referred to as influence by demonic consciousness linked to a "false God." Critical historical accounts have linked Adolf Hitler, and other high ranking Nazis as having communicated with self-anointed "Nordic gods" who were a part constituency of Manipulative Extraterrestrials which to Gnostics disciples of Jesus were identified as "demons." This is where the "National Socialist" image of the ideal man/woman and the program of eugenics apparently originated. Adolf Hilter was apparently ordered to infiltrate the National Socialist German Workers Party; in order to counter anti-military sentiments of the defeated working class, into a populist movement which in turn would worship the demonic consciousnesses of Manipulative Extraterrestrials. Though he lost the war, eventually, Manipulative Extraterrestrials apparently communicated with Nazis that "those chosen by Satan will follow with success in establishing a "Fourth Reich." "Four" is the number of Satan/Enki. Hitler saw the ideal human in Satan and his demons who are of the extra-terrestrial race who looked like human beings with very tall statures, light blonde hair and blue eyes." (Pertinent Quote: “A further type of reported aliens is comprised of the so-called Nordics. These are fully human in appearance, their physique, as the name suggests, converging upon the ideal of the blonde, blue-eyed, fair complexioned Aryan Übermensch of Nazi ideology…benevolent elder star-brothers, intent on assisting humanity on the evolutionary ladder.” – p.141 Alien Initiations by Harald Kleeman, 2003 A.D.) Nazi technology is also alleged to have been disseminated under guidance by Manipulative Extraterrestrials. "...the Nazis had everything before any other country, they had radar in 1933, they had infra-red sensors, heavy water, etc., etc. We have been told lie after lie in terms of who invented these things. If anyone in the world had access to 'alien' technology it was the... 'Aryans' [Nazis]." (end of article) An eye opening article indeed! Additionally, it must be noted, Hermann Oberth, a trance medium, worked with channel mediums and claimed to have received channeled information from extraterrestrials (no doubt these ‘extraterrestrials’ were the rebellious fallen angels who hail from a planet known in The Bible as the New Earth). Amazingly 253

enough, Hermann Oberth, who is called the Father of Nazi Rocketry, professed to have been and I quote “helped by people from other worlds” in his scientific endeavors. All these men were in contact with and being influenced by and even received workable instructions from the incarnate fallen angels! In fact: “During the 1950s and 1960s (in publications including Flying Saucer Review [See FSR:1955/1N2]), Oberth offered his opinions regarding unidentified flying objects (UFOs). He was a supporter of the extraterrestrial hypothesis for the origin of the UFOs that were seen at the Earth. For example, in an article in The American Weekly magazine of October 24, 1954 A.D., Oberth stated, “It is my thesis that flying saucers are real, and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our earth for centuries...” … Oberth eventually came to work for his former student, (former Nazi SS officer) Wernher von Braun, who was developing space rockets for NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in Huntsville, Alabama.” – Wikipedia: Hermann Oberth. (Hermann Oberth was a committee member of the well known British Lord/ufologist Brinsley le Poer Trench’s International Sky Scouts UFO organization [See FSR:1965/11N5] during the early 1960s which in turn would give birth to the Contact International UFO Research [CIUFOR] organization)

Indeed: “…after World War II many (German rocket) technicians left Germany to pursue further rocket projects in the U.S. The majority had been involved with the V-2 (rocket) in Peenemünde (the Peenemünde Army Research Center in Nazi Germany), and 127 of them eventually entered the U.S. through (the Office of Strategic Services’) Operation Paperclip (under order of President Harry S. Truman). They were also known as the (Wernher) Von Braun Group.” – Wikipedia: List of German rocket scientists in the United States.

Amongst this group of Nazi rocket scientists relocated to America in the post-WWII period was Hermann Oberth. No doubt they shared their magick experiences with their new American NASA comrades, for interestingly enough we learn: “In 1918 in New York City, occultist and British spy Aleister Crowley conducted a ritual he called the ‘Amalantrah Working’ (working, as defined as a magic ceremony/ritual, from Theurgy, meaning, ‘divine-working,’ involving ceremonial magic practices. The Amalantrah Working** consisted of a series of communications Aleister Crowley received from January 254

March of 1918 A.D through one of his “Scarlet Women” who acted as “Channels” [Spiritualist mediums] for otherworldly transmissions of angelic/demonic/extraterrestrial origin) intended to create a ‘magick portal’ - a dimensional rift - through which certain intelligences (spirits) would be invited to cross and manifest themselves in the world… In 1946 in New Mexico (whose state motto is incidentally “The Land of Enchantment”), Jack Parsons and L Ron Hubbard conducted a (black magick) ritual they called the “Babalon Working,”** to reopen the portal (Hubbard, incidently, lived with Parsons [who was at all times in contact with Aleister Crowley] in his Pasadena home which doubled as an OTO Lodge). Parsons was a rocket scientist, co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (now commonly referred to circa 2012 A.D. as NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and ‘true father of US space exploration,’ according to Werner von Braun [Parsons, like Hermann Oberth, was also through his magickal workings in communication with an extra-terrestrial “Intelligence” which he claimed communicated with him directly—it even provided him with workable “instructions” for which he was obliged to follow. See Parsons’ The Magickal Revival p.167]*…Hubbard, the future founder of the Church of Scientology (Scientology is also formulated on a belief in extraterrestrial life forms), was an officer of US Naval Intelligence. Both (Parsons and Hubbard) were adepts of the Ordo Templi Orientis (the OTO in Pasadena [Altadena] where is located Jet Propulsion Laboratory), which was originally an ‘Illumined’ (which is to say, an Illuminati) high Masonic order, and led at the time by (Aleister) Crowley (Crowley was a Freemason of the highest-order. Such high-degree Masons are notorious practitioners of magic/invokers of fallen angels, and Crowley was their poster boy. He was also a British Intelligence agent who was in direct contact with Jack Parsons).” – The Occult History of the National Security State, February 4, 2005 A.D. by Jeff Wells/Raiders News (* Jack Parsons himself may have aided in the development of the German V-2 rocket which during WWII rained death upon so many British cities. In its infancy, those employed in the nascent field of rocketry had formed international rocket societies which often worked together by sharing scientific data. Von Braun himself was president of the German rocket club known as The German Society for Space Travel [VfR]. Prior to World War II during the early 1930s: “Parsons wrote directly to Wernher von Braun, telling him of his own primitive experiments… Ed Forman’s third wife Jeanne remembered how both Parsons and Forman had called [von] Braun by telephone, way before he ever came to the U.S. (under Project Paperclip) … They were crazy about von Braun and he was crazy about them, because they had been horsing around with the same stuff… [von] Braun, who was only two years older than Parsons and a science fiction fan as well [they also shared a common interest in magick], did his best to reply to Parsons’ entreaties, and he also asked questions of his own.” – pp. 54-55 Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons by George Pendal, 2005 A.D. (Project Paperclip Nazi scientists would be employed in the United States to teach Nazi technologies to American engineers). The Guggenheim family itself was at the heart of America’s fledgling rocketry program. It was Daniel Guggenheim, founder of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, which provided the grant which allowed for the creation of the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at CalTech [GALCIT]. It was under GALCIT’s JATO program that the Jet Propulsion Laboratory which employed Jack Parsons was established under contract with the United States Army in 1943 A.D. Additionally, Daniel Guggenheim’s son Harry Frank Guggenheim, a member of the U.S. Navy Reserve (Navy Intelligence), provided the financial support for many of Robert H. Goddard’s rocketry tests as well. While Parsons would win the Army [Army Air Force] contract for the development of JATO [Jet Assisted Takeoff] rockets, Goddard received the Navy contract. All parallel government rocketry projects including GALCIT would be placed under the control of NASA beginning in 1958 A.D. Overseeing this merger was the Special Committee on Space and Astronautics chaired by Lyndon B. Johnson. Note well later U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson’s own association with NASA) (**Aleister Crowley encountered an ‘extraterrestrial’ named Lam during his so-called “Amalantrah Working.” Lam is a shortened form of ‘Lamia,’ meaning ‘snake,’ in deference 255

to the Genesis serpent Azazel [Lamaism also derives its name thereby, it being a system of magic involving the invocation of the Genesis serpent Azazel]. The Lam with who Crowley was in contact was the fallen angel Azazel. You may also know the extraterrestrial fallen angel Azazel with whom Crowley was in contact as Aiwaz [alternatively spelled Aiwass], also called Carpocrates [Ra-Hoor-Khuit] and Horus [and also known as the Egyptian snake-god Set (Crowley invoked his “Guardian angel” Set under the name Aiwass, said to be foremost of the Secret Chiefs). According to Albert Churchward in The Origin and Evolution of Religion p.189, Set was “the fallen leader of the angelic host…worshipped by the Yezidi in Mesopotamia.”]. Crowley indeed identified Aiwaz as being the equivalent of the ‘devil’ of the Yezidi: “Aiwaz is not a mere formula, like many Angelic names, but it is the true, most ancient name of the God of the Yezidi [of Melek Tawus (Ta’us), the so-called Peacock King [Angel King], who is Azazel (mlk/melek = king/note the linking of Azazel’s tau cross symbol [T] with this name ‘awus,’ variously Aiwaz/Aiwass). Ta’us means both ‘peacock’ and ‘angel’ in the language of the Kurds], and thus returns to the highest antiquity. Our work [a magical working invoking the angel Azazel under the ancient name of Aiwaz] is therefore historically authentic; the rediscovery of the Sumerian [magic] tradition.” And Aiwaz, it is said, was the Chief of the Hidden Masters, a group also known as the Secret Chiefs. The Sumerian magic tradition as encapsulated in the rituals of the Yezidi and ‘rediscovered’ by Crowley was none other than the cultus surrounding the worship of the fallen angel Azazel dating back to the farthest reaches of recorded antiquity. Crowley’s “rediscovery” of this ancient magic tradition would lead to a renaissance of all things Yezidi. The Yezidi do indeed trace their ancestry back to the angels who interbred with earth women [See p.11 The Pillars of Tubal Cain by Nigel Jackson, 2000 A.D.] as related in Genesis 6:4, back to and I quote, the very “Cainite bloodline that goes back to the fallen angels” [Ibid p.15]. It was Aiwaz/Azazel who dictated that bedrock of Crowley Thelema known as The Book of the Law to Aleister Crowley himself through a process known as automatic-writing. As Typhonian OTO head/Aleister Crowleyinitiate Kenneth Grant cryptically explains: “…the next phase in the advancement of evolution on this planet…will be achieved with a willed congress with extra-terrestrial entities of which, in a sense, Aiwaz (Azazel, a fallen angel) is the immediate messenger** to humanity (**note this play on the word angel, oft translated as messenger). According to Crowley, Aiwaz (Azazel) is ‘a messenger from the forces ruling this planet at present,’ forces ‘of a kind superior to any of the human race.’ Aiwaz (Azazel) is therefore the type of extra-terrestrial Intelligence such as we may expect to come into conscious contact with…” Indeed. In the iconic words of the occultist Crowley: “The most ancient snake…is awake.” He refers of course to the Genesis ‘serpent’ [seraph] Azazel) (Notable quote: “The [Babalon] Working [black magick ritual] began in 1945-46, a few months before Crowley’s death in 1947, and just prior to the wave of unexplained aerial phenomena now recalled as the ‘Great Flying Saucer Flap’ [of July, 1947 A.D.]... Parsons opened a door [a spatial gateway] and something flew in. A Gateway for the Great Old Ones has already been established—and opened—by members of the O.T.O. who are in rapport with this entity [Lam, an extra-terrestrial being whom Crowley supposedly contacted while in America (in Greenwich Village in New York City)…].” - Kenneth Grant, O.T.O. Indeed, Kenneth Grant would go on to consecrate the Cult of Lam which focuses upon the invocation of this specific entity with whom Crowley had established contact [See the OTO’s The Lam Statement by Kenneth Grant, 1987 A.D.]) (The reader will find magic-based travel in order to study amongst practitioners of magic in various cultures around the world in the archaic Platonic tradition to be a most common thread amongst practitioners of magic, the Yezidi being a popular bunch with which many of the individuals central to our story were to study. One of OTO [Order of Oriental Templars] member Aleister Crowley’s close associates, a man named William Seabrook, was a World War I army vet [as well as being one of the many Theosophical Society-associated WWI ambulance drivers who would additionally serve as Allied spies] and New York Times reporter [spies often used/use journalistic pursuits as a cover as well]** who also studied amongst the Yezidi and would later write a book on the subject entitled Adventures in Arabia: Among the 256

Bedouins, Druses,*** Whirling Dervishes, and Yezidee Devil Worshippers [1924 A.D. (***“…the Ismaeli, or Assassins, [are] the actual progenitors of the Druses.” – Secret Sects of Syria and the Lebanon)]. Historically speaking, and dating back to the 15 th Century, the Ishmaelites/Assassins were allied with the Sufi Fakirs, both groups in alliance with the Knights Templars [See Angels, Demons and Freemasons: The True Conspiracy, 2008 A.D.]. Here we see a continuation/reestablishment of this historic alliance). William Seabrook had also been an associate of the ceremonial magician/Sufi adept G.I. Gurdjieff who like William Seabrook likewise studied amongst the Yezidi (as Rollo Ahmed [a magic-practicing associate of Aleister Crowley’s friend Dennis Wheatley who himself had provided the Forward to Rollo Ahmed’s book] notes in The Black Art p.203: “Yezidees (“of Mohammedan origin”)…are notorious for the cult of black magic and witchcraft. They are divided into tribes, under sheiks noted for their knowledge and powers in magic… Their practices rank them among the cruelest and most degraded of Black Magicians.”). William Seabrook (who would himself commit suicide in 1945 A.D.) had been introduced to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawnmember/British spy Aleister Crowley by the newspaper editor Frank Harris who counted amongst his friends Theosophical Society-member Oscar Wilde [as Wilde’s wife Constance had been a member along with Aleister Crowley of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order] and Theosophical Society-member George Bernard Shaw (the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was in fact the magic-practicing inner circle of the Theosophical Society itself). Frank Harris served as editor for the London Saturday Review for which magazine British Intelligence chief H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw and Lord Robert Cecil were regular contributors. Lord Robert Cecil, cousin to British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour, was himself a devotee of the teachings of the Sufi-taught Russian ceremonial magician G.I Gurdjieff and his disciple P.D. Ouspensky [See p.233 Secret Agent 666] and was a descendant of William Cecil and the great British spymaster Robert Cecil, chief ministers in the court of Queen Elizabeth I whose chief court advisor was the Astrologer Royal Dr. John Dee, a ceremonial magician and author of the Enochian Magic system and as the story goes, Dee was the original 007 secret-agent (the family of Lord Chancellor Sir Francis Bacon [a notorious practitioner of magic and a friend to ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee] had been joined to the Cecils through the marriage of his sister to William Cecil). Even the Bush political family has connections to British spy Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley had a friend named Pauline Pierce (she was a descendant of the Giusseppe Mazzini/Carbonari/Young America-associated U.S. President Franklin Pierce who is alleged to have been a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, the military arm of the Carbonari’s Young America group which played a prominent role in the intrigues culminating in America’s Civil War) who would give birth to a baby named Barbara Pierce who would eventually during WWII wed an officer in the U.S. Navy named George Herbert Walker Bush and the rest as they say is Presidential history (note well this Bush-family/Carbonari association. Taking place on January 6, 1945 A.D., this wedding it would appear served to unite in marriage the Anglo-British Crowley-centric Young America group with the Young Germany group [two groups historically at loggerheads since the American Civil War] in a marriage made in Carbonari heaven [it also, it must be noted, served to cement the bonds of the respective Anglo-British Intelligence assets which both of these factions controlled], subsequently allowing for the creation of the United Nations whose deliberations would officially begin a year to the day of this unholy union on January 6, 1946 A.D. in London, England, one giant leap forward for the ultimate creation of a Fabian New World Order. Perhaps the military arming of fraternal orders of police in America in Knights of the Golden Circle fashion [as well as the purchase of a billion rounds of ammunition by the Department of Homeland Security] should be taken as an ominous omen [coupled with an attempt to abrogate our God given 2nd Amendment rights by the disarming of U.S. citizens]). Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush has served as United States Ambassador to the United Nations and as the Director of Central Intelligence. To continue with our story however, Pauline Pierce’s friend Nellie O’Hara had resided with Aleister Crowley’s friend Frank Harris from 1919 - 1927 A.D. (at one point in time, said to be down on his luck, 257

Aleister Crowley is known to have had resided with Frank Harris as well). And if such reports may be believed, Pauline Pierce during this very period served as one of Aleister Crowley’s Scarlet Women with whom he had performed his sex-magic rituals, and that her daughter Barbara Pierce was the ritually conceived ‘magickal child’ daughter of Aleister Crowley himself—the resemblance is in fact nothing short of amazing—and of course this would make former President George W. Bush Aleister Crowley’s grandson. Surprising? Not in the least. All of our roads do in fact lead to Aleister Crowley himself. It is certainly interesting to note the Bush family connection to Crowley’s OTO (Order of Oriental Templars) as: “Father George (U.S. President George H.W. Bush, father of U.S. President George W. Bush) and wife Barbara (Pierce) are both descendants of Godfroi de Bouillon (Godfrey of Bouillion) who, in 1099 led European noblemen in the successful Crusade to recapture Jerusalem from the Islamic faith and moved into the King’s palace at Temple Mount… Godfroi de Bouillon (a member of a Cathar family [See p.313 Our Occulted History by Jim Marrs, 2013]) was the first king of Jerusalem and the Duke of Lower Lorraine (in France), a major region for the Illuminati bloodline…” - Alice In Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster by David Icke. Godfrey of Bouillion of course from whom the Bush family is descended was a cousin of Baldwin II, the third king of Jerusalem through whose own direct blessings the Knights Templar group came into being as founded by the first Grandmaster of the Knights Templar order, Hugues de Payens. U.S. President George W. Bush would count Sufi/Yezidi devil worshippers amongst his allies during America’s Templar crusade against Iraq) (**Yet another New York Times reporter with whom Aleister Crowley had made his acquaintance was the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Walter Duranty, a Liverpool-born British journalist who had served as the New York Times Moscow bureau chief from 1922-1936 A.D. [Duranty had scandalously perpetuated a massive cover-up of Joseph Stalin’s genocidal crimes against humanity including the deaths of millions of people thereby sparking cries for the revocation of his Pulitzer Prize]. It had been with Walter Duranty’s assistance that Aleister Crowley and Victor Neuburg had performed their Paris Working series of homosexual sex-magic rituals commencing on Dec. 31, 1913 A.D. It is pertinent to note British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s grandfather, Leonard Jerome [aka The King of Wall Street] held a substantial financial interest in the New York Times newspaper: “Since 1860, the principal owner of the New York Times had been Leonard Jerome… He was one of the richest of the Wall Street broker-private bankers… Jerome’s power derived from his unique combination of political, financial, and journalistic associations. In 1852 he was appointed American consul (by the New York-born U.S. President Millard Fillmore in whose presidential cabinet sat United States Secretary of the Navy John P. Kennedy) to the Hapsburg Court for the city of Trieste [a seaport located in modern-day Italy] in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Trieste importantly enough was the one-time home of Theosophical Society-member James Joyce, a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats, James Joyce being a friend of author/fellow Theosophical Society-member Henry Miller). He (Leonard Jerome) and his wife…became friends with the Hapsburgs, and with (the Carbonari-associated) Archduke Maximillian (Trieste being the site of Archduke Maximillian’s Miramar Castle. Archduke Maximillian was the younger brother of Franz Joseph [from whom author Henry Miller is descended], Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire), who was later to be imposed on Mexico as its Emperor by invading European colonial armies during the American Civil War (both of which wars are in fact attributable to Carbonari intrigues). In the 1850s the Jerome family established a kind of second home in Paris, and had very close and mutually admiring relationships with the (Carbonari) Emperor Louis Napoleon (Napoleon III) and his family, his court and his officers… In 1873, (Leonard) Jerome’s daughter Jennie (who had a close relationship with Napoleon III’s wife, the Empress Eugenie) was married to (Lord) Randolph Churchill (Winston Churchill’s father Randolph Churchill was a proponent of Irish Home Rule [a major source of friction leading to civil war in Ireland between anti-home rule Irish Protestants (eventually giving birth to the Republic of Ireland with its capitol in Dublin) and pro-home rule Irish Catholics (resulting in the creation of Northern Ireland with its capitol in 258

Ulster). This must be viewed as the latest skirmish in the ongoing Catholic-Protestant wars of religion] whose own father had served as Viceroy of Ireland).” - pp.377-8,385 Treason in America, 1984 A.D. (Leonard Jerome ties to the German-Jewish Ashkenazi House of Rothschild Illuminati banking empire through his business partner, Carbonari Young America Youth Movement leader August Belmont [Pertinent Quote: “In 1812, (Illuminati leader) Amschel Rothschild I delegated his five sons to dominate the world. Their problem was to overthrow the French, English, Russian, German, Austrian and other dynasties, and especially the (Roman Catholic) Church. Amschel allotted Germany, Austria, Great Britain, Italy and France to his five sons: Anselm, Salomon, Nathan, Karl, and James-Jacob. Later on a scion of Rothschild, known as Schoeneberg was accorded the United States and took the name of Belmont.” - p.105,95 The Secret World Government by Czarist Major-General Count Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich, 1926 A.D. August Belmont was, as additionally noted therein, the American representative of the Rothschilds (See Ibid p.105, footnote). August Belmont, a U.S. Senator, would serve as the Attorney General of the Confederate States of America, later serving as its Secretary of War and its Secretary of State and as head of the Confederate Secret Service]. The Rothschilds and the Habsburgs have long been political allies. It was the Rothchilds who originally funded Adam Weishaupt [See Behold a Pale Horse p.76], founder of the Bavarian Illuminati secret society from which organization the Carbonari group has sprung). As we further learn from Treason in America: “Included in the intimate family circle of the Jeromes and the Churchills were Lord Arthur Balfour [author of the Balfour Declaration in favor of the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine], [the Jewish British Prime Minister] Benjamin Disraeli [who was head of Illuminus Freemason/Carbonarimember Giusseppe Mazzini’s Young England Youth Movement secret society], Randolph Churchill’s brother-in-law Lord Curzon [a Peer of Ireland and Viceroy of India who presided over India in a time of famine which resulted in the deaths of some 6 million people] ... and Randolph and Jennie’s young son, the future Prime Minister Winston Churchill [Winston Churchill it needs be noted was like Youth Movement leader Giusseppe Mazzini’s friend Albert Pike a member of the Oddfellows]. Leonard Jerome’s other two daughters also married Britishers, one [Sir John Leslie, 2nd Baronet] a landlord in Ireland [from whom Desmond Leslie, son of Irish envoy/author Sir Shane Leslie, a cousin of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, is descended], the other [Winston Churchill’s uncle Moreton Frewen,** an associate of U.S. Senator/3-time U.S. presidential candidate/Oddfellow William Jennings Bryan (William Jennings Bryan’s daughter, Ruth Bryan Owen, would serve as U.S. Ambassador to Denmark under U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was a friend of Oddfellow-member Charlie Chaplin who had once resided in the Theosophical Society’s Krotona commune in California)] a world-roving intelligence agent of the British foreign office [the British Foreign Office was the forerunner of Britain’s MI6 Intelligence agency. Moreton Frewen’s daughter Clare Frewen Sheridan (Winston Churchill’s cousin) was a friend of actress Vivien Leigh and had quite famously enough carried on an affair with actor/Oddfellow Charlie Chaplin].” – p.386 Treason in America. And as Richard Spence notes in the Introduction to Secret Agent 666 p.5 and aptly I might add subtitled ‘Six Degrees of Aleister Crowley’: “[Aleister] Crowley had numerous links to [Winston] Churchill, among them the writer Frank Harris, a guest at Churchill’s nuptials…” [Frank Harris would serve as editor for the London Saturday Review for which British Intelligence head H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw (a man with extensive British Intrelligence associations as well) and the future British Prime minister Lord Robert Cecil were regular contributors]. It is interesting to note that Winston Churchill was knighted a Knight of the Order of the Garter [a traditional British witch’s coven] in 1954 A.D. and was a Fellow of the Royal Society as well. All of these organizations have deeply ingrained magic associations) (**Winston Churchill’s spy/uncle Morton Frewen was during the 1870s a Wyoming cattle farmer whose business partner, Horace Curzon Plunkett [M.P. for South Dublin in Ireland], was an associate of George William Russell—Russell was Plunkett’s employee at Plunkett’s Irish co-op. George William Russell, a member of the Dublin lodge of the Theosophical Society and a frequent visitor to its 259

London lodge, was a lifelong friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats one of whose Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn co-members was Aleister Crowley himself. One notable relative of Horace Curzon Plunkett was Irish author Edward Plunkett, Lord Dunsany, 18th Baron of Dunsany, an alleged member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn who worked with Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, co-founders of the Irish Literary Theatre/Abbey Theatre, which theater included Irish revolutionary/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Maude Gonne amongst its actresses. Edward Plunkett’s mother was a cousin of the British poet/spy, diplomat and British East India Company army Captain Sir Richard Burton best known for his English translation of the Kama Sutra, an ancient Buddhist sex(magic)-manual from India. Sir Richard Burton is an official ‘Saint’ of the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica church [the Ecclesiatical arm of the OTO], a deleteriously dubious distinction at best, though a testament to his standing amongst its ranks) (Leonard Jerome’s circle of friends had other Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn connections as well. Leonard Jerome’s friend August Belmont Sr. (Belmont was an associate of Lord Palmerston as well as a leading member of the Carbonari’s Young America Youth Movement group; two of his sons would serve as U.S. Representatives from New York including August Belmont, Jr. a commissioned Major during WWI in the U.S. Army Air Service, a precursor organization to General Hap Arnold’s U.S. Army Air Force. His maternal grandfather was Commodore Perry. August Belmont, Sr. hails from the Grand Duchy of Hesse, an area in Germany/Bavaria lorded over by Amschel Rothschild) was owner of the Metropolitan Opera House* in New York City (*the chairman of the board which was Kuhn, Loeb & Co. partner Otto Khan, a German ’48er from Mannheim in Germany, a city which served as the very center for Carbonari intrigues in Germany during the Revolutions of 1848. Otto Kahn was a patron of the arts, he notably being a benefactor to Aleister Crowley’s friend, the dancer Isadora Duncan [See p.39 Madcap: The Life of Preston Sturges]. Note Khun, Loeb & Co.’s connection to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order). Belmont’s daughter-in-law, the Broadway actress Eleanor Robson Belmont was herself an associate of George Bernard Shaw [Shaw’s own known mistresses have included actress Florence Farr, Theosophical Society-member and one-time leader of the London lodge of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, she being as well a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats]. One Metropolitan Opera House opera singer, Emma Calvé, was even a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master S.L. Macgregor Mather’s friend, occult author/psychologist Henri Antoine Jules-Bois [Emma Calvé would accompany Jules-Bois and Swami Vivekanda on a world tour on which journey he would meet with Rabindranath Tagore (Tagore, working in collaboration with Stella Matutina-member Evelyn Underhill, published a major translation of the work of the mystic poet Kabir [entitled 100 Poems of Kabir] in 1915 A.D. Evelyn Underhill was a close friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Arthur Machen)—Jules-Bois would later die there in New York]. Eleanor Robson Belmont was additionally a friend of Anne Morgan, daughter of banker J.P. Morgan and sister to J.P. Morgan, Jr. whose home in New York City was donated to the United Nations and is today the official residence of the United Nations Secretary-General [the two would even co-found The Society for the Prevention of Useless Gift Giving]. Ann Morgan also played a significant role in the founding of the Colony Club [founded in 1903 A.D.] in New York City whose founders included Florence Jaffray Harriman [Florence Jaffray Harriman like many in our story served in the ambulance corp in Paris during WWI], wife of J. Borden Harriman. J. Borden Harriman’s cousin, Edward Harriman, was the father of W. Averell Harriman [Secretary of Commerce in the administration of Oddfellow-member/President Franklin D. Roosevelt [whose Vice President Henry A. Wallace was a member of the Theosophical Society. These individuals were elected to office with the aid of the American Labor Party which was the creation of members of the American Fabian Society, itself a direct offshoot of the Fabian Society in England whose membership ranks were composed of Theosophical Society-members and members of its magic practicing innercircle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]. Fellow Oddfellow members President 260

Franklin D. Roosevelt and British P.M. Winston Churchill were Allied war partners working closely together during WWII. New York Governor W. Averill Harriman’s father had close ties to the Carbonari banking firm, Kuhn Loeb & Co.] of the firm Brown Brothers Harriman in which firm U.S. Senator Prescott Bush [a former Intelligence officer in France during WWI], father of future U.N. ambassador/CIA Director George H.W. Bush, was a partner. George H.W. Bush as noted was married to the daughter of one of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley’s former Scarlet Women (this marriage, taking place in 1945 A.D., it would appear, served to unite the competing Carbonari Young England-allied Young America and Young Germany factions). His son, U.S. President George W. Bush, would partner with British Labour Party P.M./Fabian Society-member/former MI5 agent Tony Blair during the Iraqi War [during which time American and British forces were allied with Yezidi tribesmen]. As previously noted, the Fabian Society [of which the British Labour Party is its political arm, the same being true of its American offshoot] was composed of members of the Theosophical Society and of its magic-practicing inner-circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) (The assassination of America’s first Roman Catholic [Democratic] president John F. Kennedy [and his presidential hopeful brother, Senator Robert Kennedy], son of the FDR-appointed ambassador to Britain Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., political ally of pro-Irish Catholic/pro-Home Rule P.M. Winston Churchill (representing the Anglophilic pro-U.N./N.Y. Young America group), must be viewed in light of this historic Catholic-Protestant friction as it is the Protestant (Young Germany) pro-Republic of Ireland [Sinn Fein/Dublin Theosophical Society/IRB/IRA]/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-associated Illuminati/Carbonari Republican [one must remember the Republican Party was at its inception created by members of the Carbonari’s Young Germany Youth Movement group]/pro-Israel faction [represented by Prescott Bush’s political mentee Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush] which emerges victorious and in control of these hopelessly divided United States. And further, if one may care to notice, as the reader shall later discover, a number of associated individuals who were descended from members of Sir Francis Dashwood’s Hell Fire Club in England [namely, Jack Parsons, Abigail Folger, President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, all individuals who were connected to the OTO no matter how tenuous these connections may on the surface appear to be (Jack Parsons, an OTO lodge leader, died in a mysterious explosion; murdered heiressAbigail Folger being a friend of OTO-member Kenneth Ager, Anger being a friend of the Parsons-connected Anton LaVey who through mutual associations (including the ‘suicided’ actress Marilyn Monroe) connects to assassinated politicians John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy (Robert Kennedy being a friend of the murdered OTO-witch Sharon Tate)] were all eventually murdered and control of the OTO was subsequently decided in a heated courtroom battle by CIA-connected OTO members during an internal OTO power struggle [namely, Young America vs. Young Germany; apparently their union wouldn’t last]. It is the CIA/OTO-connected Bush family Young Germany political faction which thenceforth emerges victorious)

To quote the Crowley-disciple/chronicler and former head of the OTO in England Kenneth Grant from his book entitled Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God (1974 A.D.): “Crowley was aware of the possibility of opening the spatial gateways and of admitting an extraterrestrial current in the human life-wave... It is an occult tradition — and (H.P.) Lovecraft gave it persistent utterance in his writings — that some transfinite and superhuman power is marshaling its forces with intent to invade and take possession of this planet...This is reminiscent of Charles Fort’s dark hints about a secret society on earth already in contact with cosmic beings and, perhaps, 261

preparing the way for their advent (Grant refers of course to p.286 of Charles Fort’s The Book of the Damned where Fort writes of: “…another world that may be in secret communication with certain esoteric ones of this earth’s inhabitants…”). Crowley dispels the aura of evil with which these authors (Lovecraft and Fort) invest the fact; he prefers to interpret it thelemically, not as an attack upon human consciousness from within, to embrace other stars and to absorb their energies into a system that is thereby enriched and rendered truly cosmic by the process...” And God will fill hell with all who work with them. Kenneth Grant even himself professes therein to have had perfected a method of: “…contacting extra-terrestrial and non-human entities” which is the ultimate goal of all such systems of magic. Communication with the alien fallen angels known collectively as the Watchers is in fact the bedrock upon which all modern day New Age UFO cults and UFO religions are built (For more information see The Demonic Theory of UFOs by John of the Gentiles. Pertinent Quote: “…messages from supposedly extraterrestrial entities known as ‘The Watchers,’ or ‘The Guardians’ … have been reported for many years.” – p.89 The UFO Report, edited by Timothy Good, 1989 A.D). Theurgy as defined as a ‘divine-working’ involving ceremonial magic practices was espoused by the English mystic William Law, the disciple of the German mystic Jacob Boehme: “Now magic power meaneth nothing but the working of the will, whether it be the divine, or the creaturely will; and everything that is the work of the will, and is produced by it, is called its magic work, which only means, that it is generated by and from the will, as a birth brought forth by it. The will is the workman, and the work is that, which it bringeth forth out of itself. So that by these words you are always to understand these two things, the working, and the work of the will. And now, you may already sufficiently see, that their meaning is not only innocent and good, but as necessarily, and divinely, to be ascribed to God (this being his great error), as the power of bringing things into existence by the working of his will. For here you have the true ground and original of the creating power of God; how everything that is not God; is yet come from him, and out of him, as so many births of his invisible power, breaking forth into visibility, and sensible qualities of an outward life.” - The Way to Divine Power: The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 2-86 by 262

William Law, 1752 A.D. William Law was a disciple of Jacob Boehme—it was William Law who translated into English The Way to Christ by German mystic Jacob Boehme.

From the writings of William Law one might ultimately perceive the fount from which flows the idea that the “great principle of Western Magic is the belief that the properly trained human will is, quite literally, capable of anything… The motivating power, then, in all magical operations (called ‘workings’), is the trained will of the magician. All the adjuncts of Ceremonial Magic (Theurgy)—lights, colours, circles, triangles, perfumes— are merely aids to concentrating the will of the magician into a blazing stream of pure (creative) energy (Compare to Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21 and Mark 11:23).” - Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D. (Visualization techniques and power of positive thinking/self-affirmation strategies all have grown out of the ancient basic premise of the creative properties of the trained magician’s will. These include Norman Vincent Peale’s Power of Positive Thinking, Silva Mind Control, psychiatry in general, Yogic mind excercises, etc. etc.)

As Aleister Crowley in a like way explains: “Now what is Magick? Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the Will.” - Eight Lectures on Yoga by Aleister Crowley, 1939 A.D.

“Would you know now the true ground of all this (Law speaks of the rationale behind theurgic magic practices)? It is this: it is because will is the first original of all power, and the omnipotence of God consisteth in nothing else but his working will; and therefore no power ever was, or ever can be, anywhere else, but as it is in God, and if the creature hath any power, it must have it, as God hath it, in the working will. For since all nature, with all its qualities, births, and creatures, are all brought into being by the working will of God; it evidently follows, that every creature, with every quality, power, and property in it, is magically born, and therefore must have a magic nature, that is, a nature that cometh from, and standeth in, a working will.” - The Way to Divine Power, The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 2-29 by William Law, 1752 A.D. (Law also writes: “…wrath, hatred, pride, envy, malice, and every enmity to light and love, are the one only life of the fallen angel; and he can will and act nothing else, but as these properties of darkness and fire drive him.” - The Way to Divine Power, The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 1-83)

“For nothing is effected by fiction and invention, by any contrived arts or searchings of rational inquiries; all this is nothing, because it toucheth not nature, but leaveth it to itself; which carrieth on its own works by its own power, and can only work in its own way; and must 263

bring forth its own births independent of everything but its own working life. But all lieth in the will and working desire of the soul, because will began and brought forth all that nature that lives in the soul, and is the only life in it; and this life can work and grow from nothing else, but that which first brought it forth. Hence you see the full meaning of these words of our author, “All is magical and that magic is the mother of all things,” and consequently, the only opener of all divine knowledge. All which expressions only imply thus much, that the will, whether in God, or the creature, is the ground and seed of everything; is the generating working power, which maketh and worketh all things to be in that state and condition which they are; and that everything begins, goes on, and ends, in the working of the will; and that nothing can be otherwise, than as its will worketh; and therefore eternity and time is magical; and magic is, and must be, the mother of all things.” - The Way to Divine Power, The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 2-93 by William Law, 1752 A.D.) (However, the working of the will comes with this caveat: “And thus you see the possibility, the truth, and the manner of the thing; how his [Adam’s] heavenly body was taken out of the earth at his creation, set in freedom from it, and in a living superiority over it; how, at the fall, it was swallowed up, or compacted again in its own first earth; viz. the earthly body, or materiality of Adam: for as it was not separated from this earthly materiality, but only brought to life in it, and superiority over it; so when the divine light, which was the life of this body, was lost, it then fell again into a state of death in that gross materiality, under which it lay before. And thus, in the strictest truth, the body of Adam returned again to that very earth, or dust, from whence it was taken. Now, when this happened, the fallen angels entered again into some power in their lost kingdom. There was then something found, with which they could work, and join their own power. For as the soul of man had lost the light and Spirit of heaven, so the same dark center of nature, or the three first wrathful properties, were opened in it, as are opened in the fallen angels. And thus they got entrance into the awakened hell in man, and can work in it. For as often as man stirred, followed, or worked with his will according to these properties, the devil could enter into, and work with him (Overshadowing, commonly called spirit/demon possession); and so the first son (Cain) of fallen man was made a murderer. And hence it is, that sin and wickedness have known no bounds; it is because it is the joint work of fallen angels, and fallen man. Stay a while, sir, in view of these truths: here you see the seat and ground, the birth and growth of all sin and evil; it lies in these three dark, selfish, self-willed, wrathful, hellish properties of the fallen soul. This is the dark center of nature, in which the devils have all their own power in themselves, and all their power in you; and till you resist this hell within you, till you live in contrariety to it, the devils will not flee from you (See James 4:7). Here also you see, in a self-evident light, the deep ground, and absolute necessity, of that one redemption, which is called, and is, the meekness and heavenly blood of the Lamb of God. For these words in their true ground mean only the changing of the three first dark wrathful properties of fallen nature, into the three last properties of the heavenly life, light, and love, which is the life of God restored to the soul, or the light, Spirit, or Word of God born again in it. Let me only add this one word; turn from wrath [anger] of every kind, as you would flee from the most horrid devil; for it is his, it is he, and his strength in you. Whether you look at rage and anger in a tempest, a beast, or a man, it is but one and the same thing, from one and the same cause; and therefore your own wrath is to be turned from, as the same with that of hell; and which has its birth and strength from that hell or center 264

of nature, which the fall of angels hath made known; and which only worketh thus differently, whether it be in a man, a beast, or the elements of this world. And this must be, till the center of nature is again in its place of hiddenness, by being wholly overcome by heaven. Embrace therefore every meekness of love and humility with the same eagerness as you would fall down at the feet of Jesus Christ; for it is his, it is he, and his power of salvation in you. Enter into no strife, or self-defense against anyone, that either reproaches you, or your doctrine; but remember, that if you are to join with Christ in doing good, your sword of natural wrath must be locked up in its own sheath; no weapons of the flesh are to be used; but you must work only in the meekness, the sweetness, the humility, the love and patience of the Lamb of God; who, as such, is the only doer of good, the only overcomer of wrath, and the one redemption of fallen nature [there is a reason why the devil tells you to do the exact opposite of which you must do to overcome the darkness inherent in this world. He wishes you not to attain that which is your birthright which he in his anger, envy and pride for all eternity has lost]. If you are reproached as an enthusiast, do not take comfort in thinking, that it is the truth of your own piety, or the want of it in others, that gives occasion to the charge; for though both of these should happen to be the case, yet they are not proper reflections for you; and if you take your peace from them, it is not the peace of God in you: but as in good report, you are to be as though you heard it not, ascribe nothing to yourself from it; so in evil report, self is just as much to be forgotten; and both of them are to be used, only as an occasion to generate humility, meekness, love, and the Spirit of the Lamb of God, both in yourself, and all that speak either well or ill of you. For this is the will and working of heaven; it has but one will, and one work; and that is, to change all the wrath, evil, and disorder of nature, into a kingdom of God. And therefore he that would be a servant of God, and work with heaven, must will all that he willeth, do all that he doth, and bear all that he beareth, in that one Spirit, and one will, with which heaven ruleth over all the earth.” - The Way to Divine Power, The Dialogues Between Humanus, Academicus, Rusticus, and Theophilus 3-43, 44, 45, 46 by William Law)

Directly associated with the teachings of William Law is the offshoot of magical workings involving the alleged psychological willful ‘creation’ of egregores (an egregore by definition is a Watcher/angel) in group-mind (collective thought-form) workings (this is an important concept in Chaos Magic, with ‘chaos’ being defined by its practitioners as the primal creative force, the creative principle behind all such magic practices). Such creations include Philip, an ‘egregore’ allegedly created by Toronto Society for Psychical Research members as an experiment in Spiritualist practices by a group of Canadian parapsychologists during the 1970s and the (Tibetan) tulpa creation of famous Theosophical Society Spiritualist Alexandra David-Neel (David-Neel’s writings** influenced the Buddhist beliefs of British philosopher Alan Watts who served as a mentor to the1950’s Buddhist beat-writers Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Kerouac and Gary Snyder [all who habitually attended Allan Watt’s lectures and who incorporated Zen teachings within their writings] as well as the Buddhist-based belief system of Theosophist Benjamin Creme). Such a magically created creature is also known as a tulku: “The word tulku means a form created by 265

magic, and in accordance with that definition, we must consider the tulkus (incarnations of non-human entities) as phantom bodies, occult emanations, puppets constructed by a magician to serve his purpose.” With Mystics and Magicians in Tibet by Alexandra David-Neel, 1931 A.D. Gods and demons, it is said, may in this way incarnate. In Lamaism, this is known as a Bodhisatva: “I (Alexandra David-Neel) cannot do better than quote, here, the explanation of tulkus given to me by the Dalai Lama … “A Bodhisatva…is the basis of countless magic forms (called tulkus). By the power generated in a state of perfect concentration of mind he may, at one and the same time show a phantom (a tulpa) of himself in thousands millions of worlds.” Hence the tulpa creation. This may also explain the Beatnik in your bedroom as well as the dead Tibetan monks in Hitler’s Berlin compound circa 1945 A.D. DavidNeel goes on to explain: “The theory sanctioned in these lines by the highest authority of official Lamaism is identical with that expounded in the mahâyânist literature, where it is said that an accomplished Bodhisatva is capable of effecting ten kinds of magic creations. The power of producing magic formations, tulkus or less lasting and materialized tulpas, does not, however, belong exclusively to such mystic exalted beings. Any human, divine or demoniac being may be possessed of it. The only difference comes from the degree of power, and this depends on the strength of the concentration [the will] and the quality of the mind itself.” (** Tibet is the place where is practiced, in the words of Spiritualist/author Madame Alexandra David-Neel herself, “…the sorcery of the most famous magicians…” with the assistance of Shaman mediums (male pawos/female pamos) who “…transmit the messages of gods, demons and the dead…” to the inhabitants of Tibet. As she explains, during Tibetan Spiritualist séances, a “…being of another world, god, demon or spirit of a dead person…” takes “possession” of the diviner’s body, speaking through this medium (oft times by a number of such otherworldly beings in succession). Tibetan Buddhist monks are by definition Spiritualists, and the Dalai Lama is their Spiritual leader (See David-Neel’s book entitled With Mystics and Magicians in Tibet published in 1931 A.D., a book devoted to the magic and Spiritualist practices of Tibet, and the adventures she experienced as she sought them out and in some instances directly participated in them). Alexandra David-Neel, like the philosophers of old, traversed land and sea in her travels to Tibet to learn their magical practices firsthand, to study at the feet of the masters, as it were. At one point during her stay, after she: “gratefully 266

accepted the kind offer of the members of the Theosophical Society to rent me a small apartment in their beautiful park,” she attended the annual Ceremony of the Demons as performed by local Tibetan sorcerers who invoked the angel Azazel under the guise of the ‘Destroyer’ Mahäkala, said to be “a harmful spirit…held in slavery by the lamas who compel him to render them various kinds of services.” The Tibetan word for ‘shaman,’ namely, ‘lama,’ (both words are as should be noted similar in construction) is synonymous with the Sankrit word ‘guru.’ You people know not what you mess with, nor understand your latter end. Do not be fooled by the mind reading parlor tricks of techno-advanced alien angels. And do not be so naïve as to believe they can be controlled by human will. It is your will which they do in fact control and they will cooperate at their whim) Related to this magical creative concept is the golem encountered in Jewish folklore, an animated anthropomorphic being (anthropomorphic from the Greek meaning ‘human form’) said to be created entirely from inanimate matter involving wholly abhorrent magical workings. The rebellious angels known in Arabian folklore as jinn (genii) are also known in Judaism as shedim. Shedim (singular: shedu) are invoked during Jewish Kabbalistic magic ceremonies such as was most famously the golem of Rabbi Yehuda Loevy. Aleister Crowley invoked the shedu Azazel under the guise of Choronzon, the Lord of Chaos, the Dweller in the Abyss (‘Choronzon’ means ‘Chaos.’ Chaos is by its formal definition an ‘abyss’). From San Franciscan occultist E.E. Rehmus’ The Magician's Dictionary (at time of publication in 1989 A.D., Rehmus was a member of the ultraexclusive Prometheus Society founded in 1982 A.D. by New Age philosopher Ronald K. Hoeflin, an APA Rockefeller Prize-winning graduate of the CIA-associated New School for Social Research. Previously, however, E.E. Rehmus had been an LSD magician [founder of The Academy of M/magic(k)al Arts in San Francisco, CA] in a completely modern sense, an important figure in the Beatnik 1950s and the Underground 1960’s hippie counter-cultural revolution in San Francisco who like Aleister Crowley mixed recreational drug use with theurgic magical workings entirely Shamanic in character) we learn: “Egregores (are) Watchers (a word synonymous with that of the word angel), thought-form entities** created by visualization (allegedly created by the magican’s Will, this being a good example of the ‘psychic projection’ theory of UFOs), (magic) ritual and such (the 267

term ‘thought-form’ is by definition a ‘spirit’: “Every human is inhabited by a spirit; this is a form of force which, for the sake of simplicity, we describe as a thought form.” – p.156 The Complete Art of Witchcraft by Sybil Leek). They come in collective groups. They are somewhat like angels, except that they are relatively mindless and quite willing to follow orders. Some UFOs may be egregores” (according to Kenneth Grant in Outside the Circles of Time p.140, mantra chanting was “one method of invoking UFOs from the shadows of space” employed by such practitioners of magic). The fallen angels, I must say, unlike those in collusion with them (and those drug-addled hippies who unwisely sought to summon them), are anything but mindless. Rehmus’ erroneous classification was based upon a theory put forth by ufologist John A. Keel which was itself centered upon Carl Jung’s concept of the Collective Unconsciousness. Alas, in Jungian psychology, God is put forth as a ‘primordial archetype’ of man’s ‘Collective Unconscious’ so that man becomes not the creation of God, but God the creation of man. They couldn’t be more wrong (** Such magic-based ‘group-form workings’ was a concept put forth by the Theosophical Society itself [Carl Jung was a Theosophical Society member], which promulgates theories based on esoteric mysteries with a distinctive Eastern flavor: “We must now say a few words to correct the popular misconception that identifies Occultism with black magic and such black arts as witchcraft and necromancy. It has been explained earlier that the invisible worlds around us are peopled by Elementals and Elementaries, and that these entities are responsible for the great variety of psychic and spiritualistic phenomena. To this we must add the further fact that human thought-forms are animated by such Elementals and maybe by Elementaries. This is true whether the thought-form is produced by one individual or by a group. Where the thought is strongly defined, and especially when it is reinforced by emotion, the mental image thus created may become vivified by an Elemental and thus acquire a measure of independent life. The collective thought of a group of people, as for example a congregation of worshippers or the audience at a political meeting [or even, say, the crowd at a rock and roll concert or a 1960s Be-In], may create a powerful entity, ensouled by either an Elemental or an Elementary, which will be fed and strengthened by the intensity of the emotion with which it has been charged. It may then be sensed by other members of the group who thus find themselves swept along on a strong current of irresistible and maybe violent emotion which can cause them to behave in ways which, individually, they would repudiate. Similarly, a mediumistic member of the group may be moved to make utterances or deliver messages which appear to come from a power beyond him - as indeed they do, that power being the entity called into existence by the collective thoughts of worshippers or other people present. Power in itself, of whatever kind, is neither good nor evil: it becomes either good or evil according to its use. The difference between white and black magic is that in the former the power is exercised only for beneficent purposes, whereas in the latter it is turned to selfish or even maleficent ends. The karmic consequences to the magician will be in accordance with those purposes and with the benefit or harm to others resulting from the exercise of his powers. In both cases, the effective agents are the Elementals (“…‘elementals’ are akin to the angels” – Studies in Islamic Mysticism), the magician being one who has learnt how to evoke and control them. It is a mistake to think of magic as in any way supernatural, if by that we mean an action brought about in contravention of natural law: in the occult philosophy it is 268

axiomatic that there is nothing outside Nature. In what appear to be miraculous or magical performances, both the white and the black magicians are using—for good or evil— knowledge of their own powers and of the processes of Nature (physics). As stated earlier in this chapter, there is no miracle: Magic, as a science, is the knowledge of the principles [of man and Cosmos] (physics), and of the way by which the omniscience and omnipotence of the spirit and its control over nature’s forces may be acquired by the individual while still in the body. Magic, as an art, is the application of this knowledge in practice. [Isis Unveiled -II, 588]” - Deity, Cosmos and Man by Geoffrey Farthing, “Published in the late 1900’s”) (The following is another perverted outgrowth of the teachings of William Law: “Because every thought of man upon being evolved passes into the inner world and becomes an active entity by associating itself—coalescing, we might term it—with an elemental; that is to say with one of the semi-intelligent forces of the kingdoms. It survives as an active intelligence, a creature of the mind's begetting, for a longer or shorter period proportionate with the original intensity of the cerebral action which generated it. Thus, a good thought is perpetuated as an active beneficent power; an evil one as a maleficent demon. And so man is continually peopling his current in space with a world of his own, crowded with the offsprings of his fancies, desires, impulses, and passions, a current which reacts upon any sensitive or and nervous organisation which comes in contact with it in proportion to its dynamic intensity. The Buddhist calls this his "Skandha," the Hindu gives it the name of "Karma"; the Adept evolves these shapes consciously, other men throw them off unconsciously.” - FIRST LETTER OF K. H. TO A. O. HUME: The MAHATMA LETTERS to A. P. SINNETT from the Mahatmas M. & K. H.) (** Concerning specific forms of manifestations of Entities we often encounter such terms as ghosts, spirits of the dead, muses, fairies, elves, devas, angels, holy guardian angels, extraterrestrial entities, Extraterrestrial Biological Entities [EBE] as well as forces of evil and satanic forces such as the spirit of error, Ahrimanic forces, the Odic force and the Vril force)

The Nazi rocket scientist (ex-Nazi rocket scientist and newly minted American rocket scientist if one prefers) Wernher von Braun was instrumental to the creation of the United States’s Army Ballistic Missile Agency: “The Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) was the agency formed to develop the US Army’s first intermediate range ballistic missile. It was established at Redstone Arsenal on February 1, 1956 and commanded by Major General John B. Medaris with Doctor Wernher von Braun. In March, 1958 the ABMA was placed under the new Army Ordnance Missile Command (AOMC) along with Redstone Arsenal, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (where Jack Parsons had been employed and with whom von Braun had been in contact), White Sands Proving Ground and the Army Rocket and Guided Missile Agency (ARGMA)…In 1958 ABMA’s scientific and engineering staff, including von Braun and Arthur Rudolph (like von Braun, Rudolph was also a German Nazi rocket scientist), were transferred to the newly created NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)…” – Wikipedia: Army Ballistic Missile Agency (There is a reason why rockets and spacecraft are named after the Greek and Roman gods who represented fallen angels. And, indeed, such pioneering work using technology introduced by the fallen angels themselves led way to the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile [ICBM], ushering in the Cold War nuclear weapons race, which weapons will, in the end, be employed in an 269

attempt to destroy the human race so vilely hated by these angels. They are not your friends; nor do they work in your best interests. Wernher von Braun has, curiously enough, along with fellow Nazi scientists Heinz Haber [Haber served as chief scientific consultant to Walt Disney productions] and Dr. Willy Ley, collaborated with Mr. Walt Disney on a number of cinematic projects including Walt Disney’s Man in Space [Disneyland©, March 9, 1955 A.D.] championing NASA’s space program. Dr. Willy Ley would also serve as scientific consultant for the Eagle-Lion distribution Destination Moon [1950 A.D.] based on a story by Robert A. Heinlein for which Heilein had also written the screenplay [See FSR:1955/1N2]) Wernher von Braun and Arthur Rudolph (1906-1996 A.D.) were the developers of the Saturn V rocket used by NASA’s Apollo (including the alleged Apollo 11 first-manned Moon landing on July 20, 1969 A.D.) and Skylab space programs from 1967-1973 A.D. (of an interesting note, the first man to walk on the moon was a 33° Freemason of the magic practicing degrees named Neil Armstrong borne on a rocket launched from Cape Canaveral located at the 33° latitude).

Another individual of note also with a Jet Propulsion Laboratory association is Dr. Frank Drake: “Dr. Frank Donald Drake (born May 28, 1930, Chicago) is an American astronomer and astrophysicist. He is most famous for founding SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) and creating the Drake equation (an equation used to estimate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy) and Arecibo Message (a radio broadcast message aimed at communication with extraterrestrial intelligences)… He is currently involved in “The Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe.” He is Emeritus Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz being a New Age Mecca) where he also served as Dean of Natural Sciences (1984–88). He serves on the Board of Trustees of the SETI Institute.” - Wikipedia: Frank Drake Magic, as concerns communication with extraterrestrial fallen angels, it would seem, has entered the scientific mainstream: “Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CETI) is a branch of SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) research that focuses on composing and deciphering messages that could theoretically be understood by another technological civilization. The best-known CETI experiment was the 1974 Arecibo message composed by Frank Drake and Carl Sagan.” – Wikipedia: Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Perhaps the existence of the rebel angels will in the future be 270

disguised as the scientific revelation of the existence of a newfound species of beneficent intelligent life of an entirely alien nature: “We come in peace; we mean you no harm.” As will the Second Coming of the conquering Jesus be hailed as a malevolent alien invasion! In this respect: “The late General Douglas MacArthur, a man who must have been privy to much secret information, repeatedly made public statements asserting that the next war would be an interplanetary conflict with mankind uniting to combat ‘evil forces’ from some other world” (what MacArthur describes as the “ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy”). – p.281 UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D. In the words of Douglas McArthur himself: “The nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets.” Authors Weldon and Levitt believe that one: “…possibility is that the Antichrist will bring about a world unification through man’s need to combine forces against a common enemy—in this case, hostile invaders from other worlds” (See UFOs: What on Earth is Happening). Armageddon, anyone? Gather thy mystical bad selves there. We shall return to this extraterrestrial/UFO/fallen angel topic at a later time.

Chapter 8. Azazel in Un-Contemporary Popular Culture The story of Azazel and his earthen imprisonment is the source of the Grail legends of Europe. In Liber Samekh Aleister Crowley invokes Azazel’s cherub Behemoth under its Egyptian name Ra, referring to it as “the Sangraal…the cup of Babalon” (Babalon = Azazel), which is to say, the Grail cup, which is also known as the Holy Grail. The Egyptian term for the area known as Sumeria, Babylonia and Mesopatamia (from the Greek meaning ‘between the rivers’) was Sngr (rendered Sangara) (compare to Shinar). The word ‘Sangraal’ is a cognate of the word ‘Sangara’ (compare also to the Sanskrit word ‘Sangha,’ meaning, “assembly of beings,” and, moreover, as we learn from the mystic Freemason/Theosophical Society-member Manly P. Hall, the “Sangha...can be defined as an assembly...of celestial beings” (See p.37 Meditation Symbols in Eastern and Western Mysticism: Mysteries of the Mandala, 1988 A.D.) as in an assembly of jinn/fallen angels, as well as being a cognate of ‘Samhain’ (compare to Shambala) which is etymologically similar to the Proto-Celtic *samani, likewise meaning ‘assembly’ and which can in a like way represent an assembly of celestial beings). Sangara is the place where the sangraal is located (in the land of Shinar, between the ‘two rivers’), the Sangraal, the Holy Grail, deriving its name thereby (related to this is the name of the reddish color sanguine, as one of Azazel’s emblems is a Red Cross). It would seem Aleister Crowley knew exactly where Azazel’s cherub was located. To Arabs, Sumeria (where Azazel’s cherub lies imprisoned within the earth) is known as “The Island” as it existed between two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates. A red cross is also often associated with the Holy Grail, the red cross said to have been emblazoned upon the very grail itself, the grail of which we speak, of course, being Azazel’s cherub Behemoth (See Appendix A). For this reason the red cross was a symbol of the angel Azazel. All who eagerly search for the legendary grail search for Azazel’s cherub, and with it, the fallen angel Azazel. The Grail Legends themselves symbolize the search for Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, as seekers attempt to locate the site where this angel lies entrapped within the earth. The term ‘rosi crucis’ (from whence is derived the word ‘Rosicrucian) which is a German term which translates as ‘red cross,’ also by one account means ‘dew cup,’ 272

which is the reason the Holy Grail as we know it today as being cuplike in form was adopted as a symbol of Azazel’s cherub. A.E. Waite, like Aleister Crowley, was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, both being members during the same period of time along with S.L. MacGregor Mathers. In the Preface to The Hidden Church of the Holy Graal** by A. E. Waite, 1909 A.D. (“…the Masters [Azazel and his angels]… it is they who constitute the Church of the Grail…” – p.72 The Esoteric Orders and their Work), this book being an exhaustive study of the Grail Mystery and its history, Waite professes as the goal of his work: “I am about to set forth after a new manner, and chiefly for the use of English mystics (magicians), the nature of the mystery which is enshrined in the old romance-literature of the Holy Graal…at the root it has a direct consanguinity (he uses a play on the word ‘sanguine’/’sangraal,’ a common literary device of the time) with other mysteries,” Mathers himself intimating “the literature of the Graal (the Holy Grail) has its basis in a cycle of legend wherein there is neither a Sacred Vessel nor a Holy Mystery” (as it really has no connection to Jesus Christ whatsoever) such writings representing merely the “appropriation of certain (pagan) myths and legends which are held to be pre-Christian.” As indeed they are. Waite puts the stories of the Grail Legend into the category of such “writings which bear…the seals of allegory and…allusion.” The allusion to which he speaks was the story of the angel Azazel. Born in Brooklyn, New York, A.E. Waite (October 2, 1857 – May 19, 1942) was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (joined 1891 A.D.) and of the Rosicrucian Society (joined 1902 A.D.), as well as being a member of the Freemasons (joined in 1901 A.D.). As per Wikipedia: “Waite was a prolific author with many of his works being well received in academic circles. He wrote occult texts on subjects including divination, esotericism, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and ceremonial magic, Kabbalism and alchemy; he also translated and reissued several important mystical and alchemical works. His works on the Holy Grail, influenced by his friendship with (fellow member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) Arthur Machen, were particularly notable.” When one considers the presence of a figure of such historical mystical importance, immersing his self in such a field, associating himself with such a legend, one must not underestimate the importance of the subject matter so involved. In the terminology of A.E. Waite, the search for the Sangraal, for Azazel’s 273

cherub Behemoth, is known as the “Mystic Quest” of the “Great Work” (Pertinent Quote: “The Holy Grail, as presented in Malory’s collection of Arthurian legends, appears in the form of a Christian relic, the cup from the Last Supper, brought to England by Joseph of Arimathea. But the Grail cult is far older than Christianity.” - The Flying Saucer Vision p.178. As John Michell, author of The Flying Saucer Vision therein adeptly explains, the “Grail” of the Grail legends represents “the flying disc”—the “disc marked with the (red) cross” and other such similar motifs “appears to stand for the god (Azazel) inside the disc (inside Azazel’s cherub Behemoth), the vessel in which he navigates the air”: “…the memory of the flying discs…can be seen in the central object of British mythology, the cauldron or Grail… Here is another version of the legend of the flying saucer, the vehicle by which the gods with their advanced culture first made themselves known. The Grail was the sacred vessel…the vehicle by which all benefits first came to men, the flying disc (cherub) of the gods (angels).” [See pp.171,177 The Flying Saucer Vision]. As one must keep in mind, Ezekiel’s Biblical description of the cherubim of the angels which had appeared to him as he stood upon the bank of a river in Babylon [nearby in fact to very the site of Azazel’s interment] was that of a flying ‘wheel’ [See Ezekiel 1:5-21]. Like a wheel (or a cup/grail), cherubim are circular in shape [disc-shaped/saucer-shaped]). In allusion to the story of Azazel, the collective story of King Arthur contains the belief that Arthur is not dead but is in fact one day expected to return along with his band of knights. In this capacity Arthur is known as “Rex Quondam Rexque Futurus,” the “Once and Future King” (See Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte d’Arthur). Some traditions tell of Arthur’s entrapment beneath a mountain, shades of the legend of Hephaistos/Vulcan (gods representing Azazel), where to this day he (like Azazel) resides underground awaiting his messianic return. Indeed, when Azazel is released in 2016 A.D. he will be hailed as the long awaited Messiah, King of the Jews. Chrétien de Troyes’ poem Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart ties King Arthur to Ascension Day (using its esoteric meaning, ‘Ascension’ is defined as the rising of a celestial body, in this case the rising of the star Sirius, an event which marks the time of Azazel’s future release), relating how “King Arthur (representing Azazel) had come from Caerleon” (in Wales) on that day, holding a “very magnificent court at Camelot as was fitting on such a day.” To throw 274

more light on the subject we must consider how the word ‘Camelot’ was derived. Camelot as the residence/house (as we have learned, a cherub is oft symbolized as a house) of King Arthur is a later 12 th Century addition to the greater Arthurian legend. In the Celtic belief system, the god of war of the Remi tribe was named Camulus/Camulos (a god who represented Azazel/Behemoth). The name Camelot is derived from the name of this god. Indeed, this god’s cult can be traced to Great Britain itself. The Camelot of Arthurian legend represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth. The name of the Celtic god Camulos is related to the word ‘Campe,’ Campe being the name of a dragon said to dwell in Tartarus beneath the earth, the dragon being a common Biblical symbol of a cherub. And the Moabite god Chemosh, another god who represented Azazel/Behemoth, was known as Kamus (additionally according to Manly P. Hall: “Hermes (Azazel) seems to have been known as Cadmus” (See p. 189 Meditation Symbols in Eastern and Western Mysticism: Mysteries of the Mandala, 1988 A.D.). Theosophists call the place where these angels lay entrapped within the earth Kamaloka. Compare to Camalot). (Azazel may also be represented by the angel known as Camael [also known as Kamuel, Chamuel, Camiel, Camul, Camniel], the leader of the angelic forces said to have expelled Adam from the Garden of Eden. Additionally, Aegean was one of three beings called the Hecatonchires in Greek “mythology.” The Hecatonchires (named after the god Heca/Heka who represented Azazel; ‘heka’ means ‘magic,’ and cognate with ‘cthonic’) were giants who represented the offspring of Azazel and his human wife. It was said these beings were cast into the depths of Tartarus, where they are guarded by the dragon Campe, which represented Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth, within which Azazel dwells, entrapped within the earth. Campe, and similarly the Celtic god of war Camulos [which likewise represented Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth], is the origin of the legendary location called Camelot, wherein King Arthur, who represents Azazel, was said to dwell. Camelot as the residence of King Arthur [Azazel] represents Behemoth, wherein Azazel dwells in his subterranean abode) In later times, particularly in Christianized pagan locales in Europe (including the British Isles), pagans were often ‘Christianized’ at the point of a menacing sword (known by its legal name, ‘duress’), and gods worshipped by them were subsequently secularized, being largely symbolized as kings (and indeed, the Biblical name of the pagan god Moloch who represented Azazel is derived from the 275

Hebrew word for ‘king,’ mlk). Azazel is in this way represented in the person of the Welsh god Arawn, King of the Otherworld, Annwn. The word ‘Annwn’ means “very deep,” this being a reference to his imprisonment deep within the earth. The Cauldron of Annwn (which represents Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth), King of the Otherworld, was said to be located in this Welsh underworld of Annwn, very deep within the earth. Arawn (Azazel) is additionally depicted as a hunter in the Welsh work named First Branch of the Mabinogi, where he is said to be hunting a stag (as Azazel is known as the horned-god, one of whose symbols is the stag). King Arthur is connected to underworld of Annwn through a poem called “Preiddeu Annwn” as found in the Book of Taliesin, where Arthur (Azazel) is said to have traveled to Annwn “very deep” within the Earth in search of a magic cauldron which symbolically represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth (this cauldron was also known as the ‘Cauldron of Cerridwen.’ Cerridwen was a Celtic goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife. She is entrapped with Azazel within his cherub Behemoth). This story was later Christianized by pagans as the search for the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail representing Azazel’s cherub, Behemoth, which in this way was transformed into the search for the holy cup employed at ‘the last supper’ of Jesus (See Luke 22: 1-23; those who search for the cup of Jesus search therefore in vain). Azazel is at his release, as we have noted, hailed as the Coming Messiah Jesus, Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of the Jews. The Holy Grail itself as noted by a bevy of celebrated occultists does not appear in earlier pagan versions of the famous Arthurian legend as it does in its latter-day Christianized form. This was but a later edition to an amalgamation of stories compiled by various authors. The legend of King Arthur is an allegorical representation of the story of Azazel and his angels. Also, as is evidenced in Psalms 149:6, a “two-edged sword” is used as a symbol for a cherub. Such is also the case with King Arthur’s (Azazel’s) magic sword Excalibur. The two-edged sword Excalibur symbolically represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. The fact that Excalibur was said to be lodged within the stone represented the fact that Azazel’s cherub Behemoth is entrapped within the igneous rock within the Earth. When Excalibur/Behemoth is released from the rock, Arthur/Azazel will rule over men (compare to the story of the god Mithras who is said to have also emerged from a rock. Mithras similarly represents Azazel/Behemoth). And like a brightly lit cherub (such as Azazel’s cherub Behemoth) and the blindness it may 276

inflict upon humans, Excalibur was said to have shone with the light of thirty torches, being able to dazzle the enemy with its brightness, thereby inflicting blindness upon King Arthur’s enemies. In the Gilgamesh story, a “torch” is similarly used as a symbol of a cherub (compare to The Bible’s allegoric use of a ‘pillar of fire’ to denote a cherub). Azazel ascends on Ascension Day from his confines within the earth on July 19, 2016 A.D. The heliacal rising of the Dog Star Sirius occurs on this very date. For this reason, any allegorical story including a dog rising on its hind legs in attack mode or even the symbolism invoked by a dog ascending from the underworld represents the heliacal rising of Sirius. One need only transform the dog rising on its back legs in attack mode into a lion in such a stance to represent the angel Azazel’s future role of False Prophet/Messiah/Lion of the tribe of Judah. At this time it must be noted, such a lion rising on its hind legs in attack mode, known as a Lion Rampant, is the symbol of British royalty, while the flag of Britain (a country so named after the pagan goddess Brittania who represented Azazel’s human wife) employs the red cross on white background symbol of the fallen angel Azazel (See Appendix A). As epitomized in the Sumerian hymn A Hymn to Nanna (Nanna M), a lion is also used as a symbol for a cherub: “…he (the god Nanna; a cherub, and most specifically, Azazel’s cherub Behemoth) is a powerful force, a lion, a dragon…” A Hymn to Nanna (Nanna M). Additionally, it must also be noted, emblazoned upon one of the four “faces” of a cherub is a depiction of a lion (See Ezekiel 1:10-11). The lion represents Jesus the Messiah (located on right side of cherub; See also Revelation 5:5). When the Genesis serpent (the word ‘serpent’ is synonymous with the word ‘dragon’) Azazel “returns,” released from his earthen imprisonment, he will claim to be and will be mistaken for Jesus the coming Messiah. This concept is also epitomized by the symbolic Greek Agathodemon, a serpent depicted with the head of a lion. The Greeks themselves imported this concept from the Egyptians whose country they had conquered. The Egyptian counterpart of the Greek Agathodemon is the chthonic god Chnoubis. In this respect Azazel is also the Mithraic Chronos (the word ‘Chronos’ being a cognate of the word ‘Chnoubis.’ Compare both to the word ‘cherub’ as well as the word ‘cthonic’), commonly depicted as a lion-headed man with wings (Azazel was known for wearing 277

bird’s wings). In this tradition also comes the account of the Hindu daeva Vishnu’s incarnation as a lion-headed man. In Hinduism, Vishnu represented the incarnate angel Azazel. Vishnu’s lion-man incarnation represented the belief that Azazel would be hailed as the long-awaited Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, the Messiah who is to come (Assyrian winged human-headed lions are also representative). Related to this is also the treatment of the Egyptian god Osiris. According to The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XVIII, Osiris, who represents Behemoth/Azazel is known as the Lion-god, as was the god Ra, who represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth: “I am Ra. I am the Liongod.” - Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XV B.D. Chap. LXI. Funny that the symbol of the British royal family, the Lion Rampant, in a country named as it is for a goddess who represents Azazel’s human wife, whose flag contains the ‘red cross’ sigil of Azazel, should have as its family crest the esoteric symbol which represents the once and future king Azazel’s ascension at the time of the rising of Sirius at which time he is hailed as the coming conquering Messiah, the lion of the tribe of Judah (the unicorn on the British Royal Coat of Arms likewise represents Azazel/Behemoth. Horses are common Biblical symbols of cherubim. The unicorn’s horn refers to Azazel’s status as horned-god) (Interestingly enough, the first coat of arms of the British King of England Richard I “The Lionheart” (1189-1198 A.D.) was “two golden lions, combatant, on a red field,” rising on their back legs in attack mode (the Lion Rampant), whereas one of the Egyptian designations for Azazel was “god in the form of two lions, who comest forth from heaven” (See The Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXXI. In Plate XXVI Azazel is referred to as “the double Lion-god”). Richard traveled to the Holy Land during the Third Crusade, learning, as it would appear, the legends concerning the fallen angel Azazel, and likely through magical means had established direct contact with him. Britain has long had an association with the fallen angel Azazel). The Norse Valkyries represented the human wives of the fallen angels riding in the cherubim of their angel husbands. They are often depicted riding horses. Horses are a classic symbol of the cherubim of the angels. The most famous of the Valkyries was Brynhilder (German ‘Brunnhilde’), whose name means “Brynie of Battle” (a goddess of war). Her name is a cognate of the Celtic goddess Bride/Bridget. Both represent Azazel’s human wife. Britain is named 278

after her (Brittania, oft depicted with shield and lance (a war goddess), the round shield bearing an ‘X’ the sign of Azazel. Such a shield represents the disc-shaped Behemoth) and the national emblem of Britain is the red cross, the sign of Azazel). Britain is steeped in the legends of the fallen angel Azazel, and the Arthurian legend is no exception. The Knights Templars are also associated with the Holy Grail, even employing the red cross on white background symbolism associated with Azazel. Hitler once said that to understand him and his mission one must first understand Wagner the German composer (Wagner had taken part in what was known as The May Uprising: “The May Uprising took place in Dresden, Germany in 1849; it was one of the last of the series of events known as the Revolutions of 1848…Wagner…on the government’s wanted list…escaped, to Zürich (in Switzerland, one of the few places where the Carbonari Revolutions of 1848 was a success), where Wagner remained (no doubt in the company of other Carbonari co-conspirators. Switzerland has long played host to a large community of revolutionaries in exile. Wagner would later return to Germany where he would play a major role in the political rise of Adolf Hitler. Note this Carbonari connection to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime).” – Wikipedia: The May Uprising. Though allegedly not a Freemason himself, Wagner had many Freemasonic family members and friends, including as brother-in-law Professor Oswald Marbach, one of the most important Freemasonic personalities of his day). Wagner wrote many operatic compositions on the subject of Azazel, his human wife, and the fallen angels and their human wives in their ancient forms as pagan gods and goddesses. The most famous of these is his opera entitled Die Walkure, which includes the famous Ride of the Valkyries. Wagner also wrote Arthurian operas in celebration of King Arthur; King Arthur representing the angel Azazel, Queen Guinevere his human wife. Even Hitler sought the Holy Grail, seeking Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, and was willing to risk a world war and the destruction of Germany to obtain it. Hitler also sought to conquer the world: “Early in 1841 (Friedrich) Engels (a later participant in the Carbonari Revolutions of 1848) wrote the libretto for an opera on the tragedy of Rienzi. This is the story of the fourteenth-century Italian knight who liberates the people and tries to recreate a Roman Empire to conquer the world. Engels’s libretto was not published in his lifetime. But Richard 279

Wagner’s opera on the same theme, based on Englishman Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s cult nove1, The Last of the Tribunes, had its first German performance in 1842 and established Wagner’s fame.” – Treason in America 2nd Edition by Anton Chaitkin, 1998 A.D.

In conclusion we may most certainly deduce the Arthurian legend concerns the story of Azazel and the fallen angels. (Author’s Note: The word ‘Agharti’ seems to be related to the word ‘grail,’ the word ‘Agarta,’ with the word ‘graal,’ and vice-versa) The Tempest of Shakespeare The British playwright Shakespeare’s The Tempest is somewhat of a veiled mystery play containing all of the common magic devices associated with the story of Azazel, Satan and of the rest of the fallen angels. It is on its surface a story of a shipwreck at sea, its survivors alighting upon an uncharted desert isle (sans Gilligan and the Skipper too), this possibly being a nod to the writings of Theophilus where he likens “doctrines of error” (which he also calls “heresies”) to barren rocky islands “infested by wild beasts” which serve “only to injure navigators and the storm-tossed, on which ships (here analogous of men’s souls) are wrecked.” (See Theophilus to Autolychus Book II Chapter XIV). It must also be noted in Letter 10.1 (NPNF, 2nd series, Vol. 6, 11), the early church father Jerome likens the great Flood in the time of Noah (at which time Azazel’s cherub was imprisoned within the earth) to a “shipwreck.” In addition to this, as explained by John Chrysostom in Homily I of his Three Homilies Concerning the Power of Demons where Demons = Fallen Angels (NPNF1-09), that: “to fall in Paradise is to undergo shipwreck.” But most significantly to our story, to Arabs, Sumeria is known as "The Island" as it existed between two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates. And this is the very area where Azazel and his angels lie entrapped within the Earth, it being The Island where Azazel’s cherub lay shipwrecked by God’s great tempestuous Flood. And upon this Isle of Azazel lie the shipwrecks of the souls of many unfortunate men. In 3Enoch XIX:3 we learn “The Tempest” is a name synonymous with that of a cherub, as is additionally exemplified in Isaiah 29:5-6, Isaiah 30:30-33, Psalms 50:1-3, Psalms 83:13-15 and 280

Jeremiah 23:19, where a “tempest” is associated with and is sometimes presented as a word synonymous with the word ‘cherub.’ It must also be noted a cherub in the Egyptian Mysteries was at times symbolized as a boat. This was originally a Sumerian concept, as The Tempest references such Sumerian works as Gilgamesh, Enkidu and the Nether World (Version A): “Enki (a Sumerian god representing the angel Azazel) set sail (in his ‘boat,’ [his cherub] Behemoth) for the nether world (beneath the earth)…” Note the boat symbolism in reference to Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. On board the ship/cherub in Shakespeare’s play The Tempest is a “King.” It must again be noted the name of the god Moloch (mlk), who also represents Azazel, means ‘king.’ The story as related by Shakespeare alludes to the entrapment of Azazel inside his cherub within the earth at the time of the Flood when it says: “Had I been any god of power, I would…within the earth…the good ship (the cherub) so have swallowed and the freighting souls within her” (See Act I Scene II Lines 10-13). William Shakespeare, traditional author of The Tempest, was an associate of Sir Francis Bacon. One of Bacon’s illustrious friends was the author of the Enochian Magic system, Dr. John Dee, Astrologer Royal to the English Queen Elizabeth I. Doubtless Shakespeare incorporates the prevailing occult magic beliefs of his time within this well-known bardic mystery play. It must also be noted that Bacon, who, like Dee, was a prominent Rosicrucian, was alleged by many to have actually anonymously authored many if not all of the Shakespearean plays as is exemplified in the following literary selection: “Without more ado or any beating about the bush it may as well be frankly stated at once that the view of the present editor is…Francis Bacon wrote the "Shakespeare" plays and poems.” - Cosmic Consciousness by Richard Maurice Bucke (1901 A.D.)

As previously noted, Francis Bacon was cited as having had an inspiring role in the creation of the Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge. As we learn from Bacon: “As to the nature of spirits and angels, this is neither unsearchable nor morbid; but in a great part level to the human mind, on account of their affinity. The knowledge of their nature, powers and illusions, appears from Scripture, reason and experience, to be no small part of spiritual wisdom.” – British statesman and ceremonial magician Sir Francis Bacon 281

Funny how William Shakespeare whose writings are peppered with magical/mythological themes is an American (Humanistic) educational mainstay, for as we learn from the Theosophists: “…the Adepts (the rebel angels) assert that Shakespeare was, unconsciously to himself, inspired by one of their own number.” - Echoes from the Orient Chapter IV by William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.

By definition, then, according to Judge, Shakespeare’s plays are a product of automatic-writing. It may be the angels dictated it to Bacon who delivered it to Shakespeare. Azazel in Children’s Stories Azazel is sometimes known in Hebrew as Paimon, the Rabbinic title for Paimon (compare to ‘Pan’) being OZAZL. Azazel is invoked under this name in the magic system found in The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage. Related to this is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900 A.D.) by Theosophical Society member L. Frank Baum which is esoterically based on the story of Azazel. ‘Oz’ is simply a shortening of ‘OZAZL.’ In this children’s tale are depicted black and white magical practices employed by the Wicked Witch of the East and by the Good Witch of the West (who aids Dorothy, who is then sent off on a Grail-like quest to find the Wizard of Oz), respectively. Wizards (as in the Wizard of Oz) by definition are practitioners of magic and it must be noted Azazel was known as the Egyptian god Heka; the translation of the word ‘heka’ being ‘magic.’ The flying monkeys in the tale represent fallen angels. Castles (like their cousins the towers) are occult symbols associated with the Egyptian goddess Isis (due to her association with the angel Azazel), a deity who represented Azazel’s human wife. According to L. Fank Baum’s selection from Wikipedia: “Baum’s avowed intentions with the Oz books, and other fairy (read: fallen angel’s) tales, was to tell such tales as the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen told (which were based on folkloric magic tales), bringing them up to date by making the characters not stereotypical dwarfs or genies.” Dwarves and genies as such represent the rebellious fallen angels which were themselves the subject of L. Frank Baum’s literary works. In addition to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Theosophical Society member L. Frank Baum penned such occult-themed works as The Magical Monarch of Mo (1903 A.D.), Mother Goose in Prose (1897 282

A.D.) (prose retellings of Mother Goose rhymes**), The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (1902 A.D.), The Enchanted Island of Yew (1903 A.D.), John Dough and the Cherub (1906 A.D.), The Sea Fairies (1911 A.D.) and The Witchcraft of Mary-Marie (1908 A.D.). Baum as you can see was quite a big fan of the occult. In my youth, the Hollywood version of The Wizard of Oz was broadcast yearly on network television (it is also interesting to note that it was a Theosophical Society member named Thomas Edison who in the late 19th Century had invented the ‘motion picture’ process. Thomas Edison, as founder of Edison Studios, was in fact the father of Hollywood filmmaking [America’s first film studio was Edison’s Black Maria, also known as the Kinetographic Theater established in 1893 A.D.]: “Edison Studios was an American motion picture production company owned by the Edison Company of inventor Thomas Edison. The studio made close to 1,200 films as the Edison Manufacturing Company (1894–1911) and Thomas A. Edison, Inc. (1911–1918) until the studio’s closing in 1918.” – Wikipedia: Edison Studios. It must also be noted it was Confederate officer Major Woodville Latham (1837–1911 A.D.), a professor of chemistry at West Virginia University who worked under Thomas Edison who had played an essential role in the development of early film technology—he was the inventor of the ‘Latham Loop’ [Latham’s wife Rose O’Neill, a Pennsylvania-born illustrator for Puck magazine (named in honor of Puck, a character from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Puck = Azazel), was the creator of the Kewpie doll the magical story of which can be found in her biography as written by Brady Smith: “In her earlier drawings, O’Neill had often drawn little creatures in the backgrounds of her work. These creatures ‘appeared to her in a dream,’ and were small ‘myth-like-elf’ creatures that were greatly influenced by the Greek god of love, Cupid. She finally developed the tiny images hidden in her sketches and illustrations into characters. They became known as ‘Kewpies.’ They first appeared in Ladies Home Journal, in 1909”]. Puck magazine also employed Fortean Society co-founder/novelist Harry Leon Wilson, Rose O’Neill’s second husband). I had even developed an affinity for the kindly old man of Oz, who represented none other than the rebel angel Azazel. Such below-the-radar brainwashing techniques are stereotypical of a vast number of Hollywood offerings, included in which is the magical Warner Brother’s Harry Potter© film presentations as well as its WB network occult-themed television programs and other Warner Bros.© 283

film distributions including Practical Magic (1998 A.D.) with Sandra Bullock (**As we learn from practicing sorcerer British actor/producer Cecil Williamson [whose father was a senior officer in the British Royal Navy] at The Museum of Magic [aka the Witches’ House] in Boscastle, Cornwall, England: “…mother goose…was a witch…In the west country (of England) witches make use of geese in many ways when working at their craft, for to them geese are endowed with numerous magical qualities and have played an age-old part in the domestic mythology of the western counties.' The origin of Mother Goose is almost certainly the Central European Goddess Holda….She actually appears in one of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, as Mother Holle, a mysterious old woman with magic powers…” The goddess Holda/Holle represented of course Azazel’s human wife. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Cecil Williamson (18 September 1909 – 9 December 1999) was an influential English Neopagan Witch. He was the founder of both the Witchcraft Research Center which was a part of MI6’s war against Nazi Germany, and the Museum of Witchcraft. He was a friend of both Gerald Gardner (likely also a British spy by virtue of his many associations with other known British spies), the founder of Wicca, and also of the notorious occultist Aleister Crowley [who was also a known British spy].” Cecil Williamson was also an acquaintance of E.A. Wallis Budge [Budge, who frequented the British Museum, had a number of friends in the spy filled Ghost Club], Margaret Alice Murry and Montague Summers [Summers, known to frequent the British Museum as well, was a well known British spy; likely they were all Intelligence assets to some degree; Montague Summers was an acquaintance of British spy Aleister Crowley as well], and was the husband of a niece of the British film producer/director Herbert Wilcox (founder of the Associated British Picture Corporation [which was partly owned by Warner Bros.© from 1940-1969 A.D.]; Star Wars was filmed at its Elstree Studios), whose mother hailed from County Cork in Ireland (as Rollo Ahmed notes circa 1936 A.D. in The Black Art: “Ireland was the home of many witches and wizards, as a country so steeped in the belief in magic and the supernatural might be expected to be.”). In 1938 Williamson headed a special section of MI6 (British Foreign Intelligence) attached to the Foreign Office** known as the Witchcraft Research Center whose objective was to collect information on Nazi occult interests…Williamson was instrumental in the capture of Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s deputy, through an occult-based ruse, and took part in a 284

“Witches Ritual” aimed at halting Hitler’s invasion of England, a ritual which included Aleister Crowley. By Williamson’s own estimation, he had taken part in some 1,120 witch’s rituals [See The Encyclopedia of Witches &Witchcraft by Rosemary Ellen Guiley]. Williamson’s witchcraft museum did much to promote Wicca and witchcraft generally). (** One notable Intelligence agent employed by the British Foreign Office [the forerunner of Britain’s MI6] was a Sufi Muslim named Ikbal Ali Shah, the father of Gerald B. Gardner’s secretary Idries Shah. Ikbal Ali Shah, like so many magic-practicing British and American Intelligent agents, would take up residence during the 1960s in Tangier, Morocco) Satanist Anton LaVey offers the following illuminating take on this subject of the repercussions of an early childhood introduction to witchcraft: “In reality, our mainstream influence is just the tip of the iceberg. For every one of those kids you see at rock concerts holding up the sign of the horns and not knowing anything about it, there are maybe five more kids who have read The Satanic Bible, know what Satanism is, and are growing up to the stage now where they are gaining positions of power and having a real effect in the world around us. In the motion picture industry, the arts, business, academia, politics – they don’t wear it on their sleeves so you probably wouldn’t even know they were Satanists.** But you figure those who were born in 1955 or 1960, who have grown up living most of their lives in a post-1966 Satanic Age, are now reaching 27, 29, 32 years old. They’re getting established in their chosen fields and their philosophy is bound to have an effect on the way they operate (Certainly ‘Do as Thou Wilt’ seems to be the operative philosophy of our Age!). They’re getting tired of the bullshit. Now we’re getting what I call second-generation Satanists; the Church of Satan has been in existence for most of their lives and they take the effects of Satanism as the rule rather than the exception – sexual freedom, not believing in God, independence of mind. They are choosing Satanism as a way of life because it was never shoved down their throats like Christian parents do with their religion.” - The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey (LaVey identifies the personal development period in a child’s life when the child is most susceptible to the subtle tactics of psychological programming as the: “… ‘Erotic Crystalisation Inertia’ period (or ECI – the period in early life when an individual’s tastes and aesthetic identity are formed and frozen in time).” – p.132 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley, 1999 A.D. Lucifer Rising author Gavin Baddeley was head of The Church of Satan in Britain. One can only hope that in their own turn as these children grow up and rebel against Satanist parents they thereupon develop into good God-fearing Christians) (** “…Satanists believe 285

that the Devil was hurled out of heaven as a result of a conspiracy, and that he, with his cohorts, has never ceased fighting to get back. It is, therefore, their duty to assist him as much as they can...” – p.59 The Magic of Aleister Crowley by John Symmonds. Satanists therefore in essence are active participants in Satan’s rebellion against God)

The Theosophical Society’s (and by extension, the fallen angel’s) tactic of hooking people by inundating children with such occult themes has worked so many wonders: “…Witchcraft—with a capital W—has become one of the fastestgrowing religions in Western culture…Witchcraft has taken its place in the ecumenical religious theater. Traditionally, witchcraft—with a small w—is a form of sorcery, concerned with spells and divination. The magical witch, the sorcerer witch, was not practicing a religion of witchcraft, but was practicing a magical art, passed down through families or taught by adepts…Witchcraft as a religion was born in Britain after World War II…(Gerald B.) Gardner may not have envisioned a worldwide religious movement, but that is what unfolded, first with the export of Witchcraft to the United States, Canada and Europe, and then around the world. The ‘Gardner tradition,’ as it became known, quickly mutated into offshoots…Witchcraft the religion, along with its Pagan cousins, flourished in the blooming New Age counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s and then took hold on the edges of mainstream society…Dozens and dozens of Witchcraft and Pagan traditions exist, and new ones are born all the time. Witchcraft and Paganism have survived the first tests of time. The movements took hold in the baby boom generation. Now, the children and grandchildren of those people are growing up Wiccan and Pagan, and new young people are attracted to the fold in increasing numbers…Witchcraft/Wiccan churches are recognized legally, Witch holidays have gained some official recognition, and, in the United States, Wiccan military veterans have won the right to have the pentacle, their religious symbol, placed on their tombstones…Witchcraft is a topic of enduring interest and study.” – Introduction to the 3rd Edition of The Encyclopedia of Witches, Witchcraft and Wicca by Rosemary Ellen Guiley, 2008 A.D. (As Colin Wilson points out in Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast p.162, Wicca and its white magic practices often serve as a gateway to darker forms of magic: “Gardner…and his version of wicca laid heavy emphasis on sex rites in which everyone was nude. Understandably, it quickly gained hordes of disciples. Crowley’s version of ‘magick’ [black magic] was, naturally, much in evidence in these covens. Many members of such groups lost interest as they got older; others developed a wider interest in magic, and studied the Enochian system of John Dee, the magic of the [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn, and Crowley’s own sex-oriented system.”) 286

And this all harkens back to Sir Francis Bacon’s original scheme of the creation of a permissible society in the Americas as set forth in his New Atlantis (1624 A.D.) (set in motion by the Royal Society, actuated by Freemasonic groups, falling under the Humanistic-based education of the Theosophical Society and its representatives), where witchcraft and paganism might be practiced without danger of persecution by a Roman Catholic Church weakened by the machinations of the Rosicrucians and its like, and therein flourish. Many magic-practicing individuals and mystics willingly flocked to America’s shores in search of religious freedoms unattainable in Catholic Europe; some had come here having been sentenced to the arcane punishment of ‘transportation,’ being thereby banished to American colonies. And flourish they have—the fallen angels through their human cronies control the world we live in today, and, one might successfully argue, have even infiltrated the very Roman Catholic Church itself in their long-term quest to destroy it. Azazel’s story can even be found in the late 16th Century Chinese literary classic entitled Journey to the West. Therein he is depicted as the Monkey King Sun Wukong, who was said to have been imprisoned within a mountain of stone after staging a failed rebellion in heaven (compare to the Mithras legend). This explains the winged flying-monkeys representative of fallen angels in Baum’s Wizard of Oz.

Chapter 9. Azazel and the Theosophical Society “From the first ages of man, the fundamental truths of all that we are permitted to know on earth was in the safe keeping of the adepts (the angels) of the sanctuary. Those guardians (a play on the term ‘guardian angels’) of the primitive divine revelation, who had solved every problem that is within the grasp of human intellect, were bound together by a universal freemasonry of science and philosophy, which formed one unbroken chain around the globe.” - Isis Unveiled (Helena P. Blavatsky, 1877 A.D.)

The Theosophical Society was born of this angel-inspired “universal freemasonry of science and philosophy” with its concerted global reach. Though the Theosophical Society dismisses the legendary stories of rebellion perpetrated by the fallen angels as simple allegory and parable, they do not, however, deny these angels do in fact exist. On the contrary; they openly embrace these fallen angels who in their own minds are humanoid beings highly envolutionarily advanced. Annie Besant in The Inner Government of Our World (1920 A.D.) speaks of the shadow government of the world composed of rebellious fallen angels: “…all the activities of our world…are directed by a Group of great Beings” an “Occult Government of the World…considering the especial Government of our own world, the Occult Hierarchy as it is called, the Beings composing that (Occult Hierarchy) having come to our earth in the middle of the third human Race from the planet Shukra (Venus) (read: from an alien planet; the angels come, in fact, from the New Earth)…They were of Those who originally came to our world for its helping, and who are still with us…the high Devas (the rebellious angels)...are the true inner Rulers of our world.” “Here we should be able to find out really what is going on, the Forces (the Powers) behind those who are apparently the rulers, the teachers and the actor in our world, the true Inner Government of the World…as manifested in the Occult Hierarchy of our world, with the Four Kumaras at its head.” This “great group of Rulers…the four 288

Kumaras. There is not very much said about Them. Not many explanations are given. But they are spoken of as ‘the Four,’ the ‘One and the Three.’ He (Azazel) who is spoken of as the Eldest among Those—as to whom time may be said only to be a name (a play on the words Chronos/Kronos), for They are beyond its illusions—He (Azazel) is called Sanat Kumara (‘Eternal Youth’), the Eternal, the Ancient; in later days He is thought of as the Eldest, but it is better to think of Him as the Eternal, to whom and in whom time is not.” - The Inner Government of Our World Lecture II by Annie Besant: “So that that word Eternal is never to be confused with everlasting, Remember that word is the word rightly given to that great Being beyond our knowing, who is spoken of in the Puranas as the Eldest Kumara, the great Being we call Sanat (‘Eternal’) Kumara (‘Youth’), The Eternal. Then the Three who are with Him, dwellers in that mystic City of Shamballa, the White Island Youth, are the remaining Kumaras, called the Pupils (chelas) of Him (Azazel) who is the Head of the Inner Government of our World.”- The Inner Government of Our World by Annie Bessant

The four angels in Azazel’s cherub Behemoth which is entrapped beneath the earth are: “…the Four Kumaras…the Heads of all power and Rulers (angels) in our world (these four angels are the commanders over all the rebel angels)…the Mighty Four (the four angels within Azazel’s cherub) at the head of the Group of Rulers, and the Three and One (the ‘One’ is Azazel) is only the obvious division between the Head (the ‘Head’ is Azazel) and the Three (angels) who come next to Him in the Inner Government of the World.” - The Inner Government of Our World by Annie Besant (These four angels are the four ‘Deva’… ‘guardians of witchdom’ invoked in the Liber Umbrarum Book of Shadows included in Wicca witch-priestess Doreen Valiente’s Witchcraft for Tomorrow)

Theosophists (as does this Author) believe the mythological stories of the gods of the nations to be stories about the angels of The Bible: “The Scriptures and religious traditions of all cultures make frequent reference to non-human entities, variously termed Angels, Devas, Gods, Spirits of one kind or another. In mythology these beings appear as nature-spirits, fairies, sylphs, salamanders, to name but a few. Esoteric Science supports universal tradition in affirming that the different planes of Nature are peopled by hierarchies of beings, each with characteristic properties and modes of functioning. In the Bible there are well-known instances of angelic appearances, singly as ‘the angel of the Lord’ or as ‘a multitude of the heavenly host.’” - Deity, Cosmos and Man, "The Scope and Framework of the Science," Part I, Chapter II.4 The Hierarchies of Beings by Geoffrey A Farthing ((Interesting Quote: “There are a multitude of 289

other dimensional worlds most of us humans remain unaware of because our perceptions are currently limited to the five senses. However, at every moment we are both surrounded by and permeated with a multitude of waveforms moving throughout the holographic universe. Our five senses constantly interpret and translate only a small portion of these waveforms. We mistake the data from the five senses as the only accepted ‘real.’ Thus deluded we miss most of the universe, the Invisible Realms and the Myriad Worlds. We are nonetheless affected by these waveforms, which are beyond our perceptions. Anyone who realized this basic metaphysical truth would understand that it is possible to use various types of ‘emitters’ human or otherwise, to generate waveforms of a specific frequency. These frequencies can have a wide spectrum of effects. They can uplift, calm, heal and nourish – or they can be used…to dominate…everyone who is susceptible... If your own level of consciousness does not vibrate in a frequency above these emitted waveforms, if you are not on ‘higher ground’ then you might be confused and deluded by these emissions. You could remain vulnerable to the vagaries of such intentional manipulation… Even though most of us are unaware of the Invisible Realms and the hierarchies of beings that exist and have always existed all around us, there are many, many entities transmitting all kinds of information. From angels to ETs we are faced with a plethora of sources often fascinating and revealing…” – Invisible Waveforms, ET’s and Other Transmissions by V. Susan Ferguson, 2013 A.D.)

When Theosophists write of the incarnate angels they often use their Indian designation, devas. It must be noted the word deva is a cognate of the word devil: “These devas are angels incarnate, divine Teachers, superhuman men” - Riddle of Life And how Theosophy answers it by Annie Besant “Superhuman Beings (‘superhuman men’; the incarnate angels/deva Supermen)...are the builders of civilisations and of religions in our world...Now, the idea that such Superhuman Beings had much to do with the affairs of men is no new idea, no mere Theosophical fad. In Christian antiquity you find the thought put forward that over every nation there presided a great Angel. Read the way in which Origen speaks of the Angel Guardians of nations and of the world. The idea in the East was a little more complicated... in the East, whilst they recognised what here would be called ‘the ministry of Angels,’ speaking of them as the Shining Ones (Elohim)—so often mistranslated ‘God’—whilst they recognised their work in many grades as the older Christians (amongst which group would later be included Billy Graham) recognised the ministry of the nine great Orders in the angelic host (which idea originated with Plato, who was a practitioner of magic/conjurer of fallen angels), they joined side by side with them the men who had attained perfection... Those who are divine men, who have perfected the human cycle of evolution (a misidentification of the Biblical group hailed as ‘just men [humans] 290

made perfect,’ they are in fact incarnate fallen angels), it is They who share with the angelic host the guidance of evolution in the world in which we are. For this world is not lonely as it rolls through space, nor confined only to the men bound still to the wheel of births and deaths. The spiritual world interpenetrates the physical, as every religion has declared; Superhuman Beings (incarnate angels) move amongst us and take their part in the affairs of men.” - Superhuman Men in History and in Religion by Annie Besant, 1913 A.D.

Indeed, as Besant explains: “...perfected men (read: incarnate fallen angels) visited the courts of kings in order to see that kingdoms were well governed and royal duties were honourably performed...In those days, readily was Their guidance accepted, and, therefore, They walked openly among the people...the Guardians (a play on the term ‘guardian angels’) drew back from sight but never from labour (another play on words, a popular literary device of the day; the word labour is related to the word elf, an angel), and worked unseen and unhampered by the growing conditions of humanity, but with the same heart of love, the same brain of wisdom as in the elder days. It is They (the incarnate rebel angels) who pull down Empires and build them up (as exemplified by Biblical writings), who bring about equilibrium between nations and do not allow a single set of national ideals so to triumph over the world that all others shall give way before them. It is They (the incarnate rebel angels) who gradually build up a great Empire and give to some sub-race the ruling of the world (their goal is a one-world government under their command); it is They (the incarnate rebel angels) who are giving to England today the possibility of the mighty part that she may play in the advancing humanity of the time, of World-Empire mightier than any Empire of the past...That is done today, not by direct order from the mouth of the recognised Superior, but by the subtler working on the ambitions and the passions and the thoughts of men (through thought transference/Overshadowing)...it is these greater Ones (the angels) behind who really pull the strings to which our statesmen and our rulers dance obediently (most particularly those politicians within the British Labour party), and, in the pulling, educate the people, and so help forward the general evolution of the race.” - Superhuman Men in History and in Religion by Annie Besant, 1913 A.D. (At time of writing, England was headed by British P.M. H.H. Asquith, a Knight of the Order of the Garter, a traditional witches coven. It was Asquith who would lead England into WWI)

“The creatures evolved in the four kingdoms of earth, air, fire, and water, and called by the Kabalists gnomes, sylphs, salamanders, and undines. They may be termed the forces of nature, and will either operate effects as the servile agents of general law, or may be employed by the disembodied spirits — whether pure or impure — and by living adepts of magic and sorcery, to produce desired phenomenal results…Under the general designation of fairies and fays, these spirits of the elements appear in the myth, fable, tradition, and poetry of all nations, ancient and modern. Their names are legion — peris, devs, djins, sylvans, satyrs, fawns, elves, dwarfs, trolls, kobolds, brownies, stromkarls, undines, nixies, salamanders, goblins, banshees, kelpies, prixies, moss people, good people, good neighbours, wild women, men of peace, white ladies, and many more. They have been seen, feared, blessed, banned, and invoked in every quarter of the globe and in every age. These elementals are the principal agents of disembodied but never visible spirits at séances, and the producers of all the phenomena except the ‘subjective’”. — ("Isis", preface xxix., vol. 1). “In the Jewish Kabala the nature spirits were known under the general name of Shedim, and divided into four classes. The Persians called them devs; the Greeks indistinctly designated them as demons; the Egyptians knew them as 'afrites' (Africa derives its name in this way. Compare to ‘sprite,’ a cognate of the word spirit). The Ancient Mexicans, says Kaiser, believed in numerous spirit-abodes, into one of which the shades of innocent-children were placed until final disposal; into another, situated in the Sun, ascended the valiant souls of heroes; while the hideous spectres of incorrigible sinners were sentenced to wander and despair in subterranean caves, held in the bonds of the earth-atmosphere, unwilling and unable to liberate themselves. They passed their time in communicating with mortals… — ("Isis," page 313, volume 1).” - Difference between Elementals & Elementaries (1889 A.D.) (“It is therefore evident that the world of man exercises a controlling power over this invisible world of “elementals”…” - Nature-Spirits or Elementals, The Theosophical Publishing Society, England, 1889 A.D.) (“(Immanuel) Kant admitted not only the possibility of the existence of a spiritual conscious world, but also the possibility of communion with it.” - Chapter XVI Tertium Organum, by P.D. Ouspensky, (1922 A.D.). Which brings us to the subject of “cosmic pluralism”: “Cosmic pluralism, the plurality of worlds, or simply pluralism, describes the belief in numerous other worlds which harbour extraterrestrial life. The debate over pluralism began as early as the time of Thales (c. 600 BC) and has continued, in a variety of forms, until the modern era…After Thales and his student Anaximander opened the door to an infinite universe, a strong pluralist stance was adopted by the atomists, notably Leucippus (first half of 5th century B.C.), Democritus (circa. 460-370 B.C.), and Epicurus (341– 270 B.C.).” - Wikipedia: Cosmic pluralism. “The possibility of extraterrestrials remained a widespread speculation as scientific discovery accelerated. William Herschel, the discoverer of Uranus, was one of many 18th–19th century astronomers convinced that the Solar System, and perhaps others, would be well-populated by alien life. Other luminaries of the period who championed “cosmic pluralism” included Immanuel Kant and Benjamin Franklin.” - Wikipedia: Extraterrestrial life. Cosmic pluralism is a central tenet of Spiritism: “‘Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me (Jesus). In my Father's house are many mansions: If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may be also (John, 14 : 1 - 3).’ … The house of the Father is the Universe. The 'different mansions' are the worlds which circulate in infinite space and offer the Spirits who incarnate on them dwelling places which correspond to their progress.” – p.37 The Gospel According to Spiritsm by Allen Kardec, 1866 A.D. Belief in reincarnation is the cornerstone of Spiritism: “…they (spirits) go to these worlds where from one incarnation to another they are purified and regenerated…(whereupon it is said they would return perfected to God)” – Ibid p. 42 (To Spiritists, resurrection is reincarnation: “Reincarnation was part of the Jewish dogmas, being taught under the name of resurrection.” – p.46 The Gospel According to Spiritsm by Allen Kardec, 1866 A.D.). “The French astronomer Camille Flammarion (a Spiritualist member of the Theosophical Society/Society for Psychical Research president [1923 A.D.] who participated in Spiritualist séances. 292

Flammarion’s book La planète Mars would fuel speculations concerning the existence of intelligent life on the planet Mars) was one of the chief proponents of cosmic pluralism during the latter half of the nineteenth century. His first book, La pluralité des mondes habités (The Plurality of Inhabited Worlds, 1862 A.D.) was a great popular success, going through 33 editions in its first twenty years.” - Wikipedia: Camille Flammarion. Mormonism also exhibits such a ‘Cosmic Pluralism’ bent: “Some modern LDS Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormons) leaders have taught that there are people living on other earths. For instance, apostle Joseph Fielding Smith (19 July 1876 – 2 July 1972) wrote: “We are not the only people that the Lord has created. We have brothers and sisters on other earths. They look like us because they, too, are the children of God and were created in his image, for they are also his offspring (See Doctrines of Salvation 1:62).” Smith also wrote, “...the great universe of stars has multiplied beyond the comprehension of men. Evidently each of these great systems is governed by divine law; with divine presiding Gods, for it would be unreasonable to assume that each was not so governed (See Answers to Gospel Questions 2:144).” Apostle Neal A. Maxwell (July 6, 1926 – July 21, 2004) wrote “we do not know how many inhabited worlds there are, or where they are. But certainly we are not alone” (See p. 25 A Wonderful Flood of Light, Neal A. Maxwell, 1989 A.D.)” – Wikipedia: Mormon cosmology) (“Such stories were so well established during the Middle Ages that the problem of communicating with the Elementals [read: angels] became a major preoccupation of the hermetics and an important part of their philosophy. Paracelsus wrote an entire book on the nature of these beings, but he took great pains to warn the reader of the dangers of an association with them: I do not want to say here, because of the ills which might befall those who would try it, through which [magic] compact one associates with these beings, thanks to which compact they [the angels] appear to us and speak to us.” – Passport to Magonia: On UFOs, Folklore and Parallel Worlds by Jacques Vallee, 1969 A.D. Indeed: “…to establish communication with worlds which are normally beyond our reach is undoubtedly included in the great claims of the magus; and the art of evoking spirits, taken in its true and its highest sense, is the head and crown of Magic…” – p.10 The Occult Sciences by A.E. Waite, 1891 A.D.)

“Now it is constantly asked: Where are these Beings (the rebellious fallen angels with whom the Theosophists claimed to be in contact)?...We also read, in the legends of the world, of races living in the interior of the earth (these stories were based on the story of Azazel’s imprisonment within the Earth)…They work with a full knowledge of the law of evolution; the rise and fall of a civilization is known to them, as the hours on the face of the clock are known to us.** They (the rebellious fallen angels) understand when it is wise to work through and with some of their agents among men, and they arrange their appearances in such a way that it is necessary to develop intuition to discern who they are and what their business is. The majority of men who have not developed a corresponding consciousness in themselves might pass a Master (an incarnate angel) in the street and not recognize him as such (whereby some have entertained angels unaware). His physical form would probably be precisely the same as the other physical forms among which he lived, and unless you knew him by his Light, unless you had developed a 293

state of consciousness that would respond, in a vibratory sense, to the vibration coming from him or her, then indeed the Master (the fact that this being is an angel) would not be known by you.” - The Path of Attainment, D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D. (“The term Master may be used to mean an Adept and vice versa.” - The Path of Attainment, D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D.) (**This is known as the “Tytler Cycle”: “The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency [at which stage is America today] back to bondage.” Alexander Fraser Tytler, 1813 A.D. Which brings to mind the old OTO adage gleaned from Crowley’s The Book of the Law: “The slaves shall serve.”)

“As I said, we read of races living in certain parts of the interior of the earth, and of caves that lead to temples and halls and vast spaces (these stories were based on the story of Azazel’s imprisonment within the Earth). I can only speak of them as dreams myself, for I have not yet been able to visit them in the physical body; but in dreams I have entered some of these temples in the interior of the earth, places where there are huge libraries and individuals to answer almost every conceivable question, Beings (angels) who are aware of all that is going on on the earth’s surface, and who have pronounced ideas with regard to the relative importance of the events that seem to be so tremendously tragic for mankind.” - The Path of Attainment by D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D.

According to Theosophists, the difference between humans from our Earth and incarnate angels from heaven is an evolutionary one: “…there are other orders of beings than the human, some of whom rank alongside the Adepts in a grade of existence higher than our own…whom we call Devas or Angels…” (See The Masters and the Path, by C. W. Leadbeater, 1925 A.D.; Part I: The Masters Chapter I: The Existence of the Masters General Considerations). Theosophists consider the incarnate angels to be a very real human genus higher on the evolutionary scale than normal human beings from Earth: “The highest system of evolution specially connected with this earth, so far as we know, is that of the beings whom Hindus call the Devas, and who have elsewhere been spoken of as angels, sons of God, etc. They may, in fact, be regarded as a kingdom lying next above humanity, in the same way as humanity in turn lies next above the animal kingdom.” - Devachanic Plane by C.W. Leadbeater, 1896 A.D. Concerning “the archangels and the angels of the Christian 294

faith,” explains Annie Besant, Theosophists “regard those mighty archangels and angels as the product of the evolution of older worlds than this (our Earth)” - Is Theosophy Anti-Christian Adyar Pamphlets No. 88 (Annie Besant, 1918 A.D.)

Geoffrey Hodson, a British army officer during WWI, a member of the Theosophical Society for over 70 years, a Liberal Catholic priest and guest lecturer at the Krotona School of Theosophy in Ojai, California, in a chapter entitled Co-operation with Angels writes: “According to the Ancient Wisdom, an angel is a member of a parallel stream of evolution which progresses through this solar system side by side with humanity.” – Thus Have I Heard Chapter IX Co-operation with Angels by Geoffrey Hodson (Light of The Sanctuary: The Occult Diary of Geoffrey Hodson [pp114-115 as compiled by his granddaughter, Sandra Hodson, 1988 A.D.] speaks of Hodson’s “intercommunication, through [thought] transference” with his “Archangel Teacher,” with which angel one may assume he was acting in ‘Co-operation’ as the title of his book would imply!) “The Mahatma (an incarnate angel) is man perfect within the circle of our evolution. He has completed evolution, and acts freely in the spiritual world, fully conscious as an individual being.” - The Path of Attainment by D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D.

“Many of the world religions recognize such a spiritual hierarchy of divine or semi-divine Beings and have given to them various names and descriptions. The Bible variously refers to them as Angels…A companion to this thought is the teaching that upon our planet earth there exists a "body" of “just men made perfect" (a reference to Hebrews 12:22-24), an assembly or "communion of saints"; who constitute a "spiritual brotherhood" of those of our humanity who have attained perfection so far as this world is concerned, and who live henceforth as guides and teachers of mankind. As in Revelation, "these are they which...have washed their robes and made them white" (See Revelation 7:14), and who stand ever in the presence or consciousness of God (on this point he is gravely mistaken; the event he mentions is to take place immediately prior to the Second Coming of Jesus. This ‘Brotherhood’ consists solely of fallen angels bent on man’s destruction). This "Brotherhood" is in a broad sense an organization 295

known in the occult world as "The Great White Lodge." Its members are known as "Masters of the Wisdom," and are passionately called "Elder Brothers," because of the fact that They once stood where we now stand, and through many lives (a concept known as reincarnation which is in direct contradiction to Hebrews 9:27 which states “…it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment…”) of selfless service to humanity and by the perfecting of Their own inner natures, have arrived at that point in evolution where They can best serve God by helping others to travel this "Path".” - The Theosophical Seal (Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.)

Theosophists believe the incarnate angels to be a more evolutionarily advanced type of human being: “That the masters, adepts, or mahatmas (the rebellious fallen angels), as they have been variously termed, are inaccessible to any but those who diligently seek, stands to reason. These men (incarnate angels) are the custodians of the knowledge of the occult powers of nature (of ‘natural magic,’ which is to say, physics). They are men who have advanced so far in front of the race, that the world in which they live, their moral qualities, and their knowledge and control of physical law, and of forces of which the modern world knows absolutely nothing, are so great as to place them on a height, which to our limited ideas appears to transcend altogether that of the human.” - The Higher Science by William Kingsland, 1889 A.D. (The rebellious fallen angels are considered by Theosophists to be: “a mighty Brotherhood, variously spoken of as Adepts, Arhats, Masters. Mahatmas, Brothers, who are living men [angels incarnate], evolved further than average humanity.” - A Rough Outline of Theosophy by Annie Besant)

Theosophists believe the more advanced angels came to our planet to aid us lowly humans in our evolutionary progression (in this way they have been deceived like Eve in the Biblical Book of Genesis): “The Occultist calls it the Akashic Record. Science groping after it says it must be there, but it cannot deal with it. Naturally. It can be dealt with only by the development of certain faculties in man. In that way I speak of what I have “seen.” In that way I said that I knew that the Hierarchy (the angels) came from elsewhere, because I have seen the coming to our world of those great Lords of Light (the Shining Ones; the Angelic Hosts of Christianity); I am told They came from 296

Shukra, Venus, which gave to our world the beginnings of its Occult Hierarchy. That is beyond my powers of research I saw only the arrival. There are certain traditions in some of your books which speak about the coming of the great Lords. You read in them, for instance, of the four Kumaras (Kumara means ‘prince/ruler.’ The ‘four Kumaras’ of which she speaks are Azazel and his three comrades in his cherub Behemoth). Where did They come from? Who were They? They (the angels) came to the world from somewhere. The Occult Records and Hindu books say of the great Ones (the angels) that They came from Shukra (Venus; read: from a different planet). They (the angels) came to our world (they came to our Earth) because our world was ready, was at a stage of the evolution of men capable of receiving that great wave of Life which made the intellect of man possible. And They (the angels) came because, without guidance from higher Beings, the intellect would have gone wrong, plunged amid a world of passion and animal nature, with which it was filled, to the great destruction of the forward evolution of human beings.” - The Inner Government of Our World by Annie Besant

“There is still one more source, the greatest of all, from which Theosophy has derived its most important information, and that is certain perfected men (read: incarnate angels) called sometimes the Brothers and sometimes the Masters* who have completed their human evolution but remain in touch with the world to assist humanity in its growth (and this is the Theosophist’s greatest error—these beings are in fact the fallen angels banished to Earth by God, bent on man’s destruction). They…have at their command a great knowledge of nature’s laws (the knowledge of science and physics, also known as ‘natural magic’**)…They place this knowledge at the disposal of…those who ask for it…The information which the Brothers have given to those who have thus qualified themselves to receive it, has rounded out and completed the theosophical system of thought…it is nothing less than the bedrock upon which all phases of the world’s thought and activity are founded.” – Theosophy Simplified by Irving S. Cooper, 1915 A.D., Krotona, Hollywood, Los Angeles CA (*Concerning the existence of these angelic Masters, Dr. Hans Holzer, a prominent parapsychologist with the American Society for Psychical Research writes: “If I ever had any doubts that the Masters really existed in the nonphysical world and that these were people [angels incarnate] with superior knowledge and powers, I no longer feel that 297

way… They seek out people to carry their messages forward…and in general pull the strings… The living then become the pawns of the spiritual entities…carry out the Masters’ plan.” – p.395 Witches: True Encounters with Wicca, Wizards, Covens, Cults and Magick, 2002 A.D.) (** “The dictionary definition of the word magic is ‘the use of supernatural means to produce preternatural results.’ In Theosophy we cannot agree with that definition, because we hold that nothing is supernatural, and that however unusual or curious any phenomenon may be, it happens in obedience to the laws of nature [‘natural magic,’ also known as physics]. We recognize that as yet man knows very few of these laws, and that consequently many things may happen that he cannot explain; but, reasoning from analogy as well as from direct observation, we feel certain that the laws themselves are immutable, and that whenever anything to us inexplicable is produced, the inexplicability is due to our ignorance of the laws and not to any contravention of them.” - Some Glimpses of Occultism Chapter VIII by C.W. Leadbeater, 1919 A.D.)

“The Great Brotherhood, or Great White Lodge, consists in part or those highly evolved Souls (included in which assemblage is Azazel’s group of four fallen angels) who have reached that stage or the evolutionary pathway which gives them membership or what is called in occult literature the Inner Government of the world, and in part or those who, though far off from such a stage, are nevertheless sufficiently advanced to be trained to become members or this Government, compared with which all outer governments are but toy governments, in the future. Membership of the Great Brotherhood, or Great White Lodge, is open to the very earnest and faithful worker who has begun to know the nature and purpose of life. But he stands on the lowest rungs of the great Ladder of the Inner Life, is but a student of government, not a veritable Master in the science.” - Footnote 2 from Kundalini by G.S. Arundale, 1938 A.D.

According to Theosophist George S. Arundale in Thoughts on "At the Feet of the Master" (1918 A.D.): “…the great White Brotherhood” is “a brotherhood which some day shall exist in the outer world.” (No doubt in reference to Azazel’s prophesized release from his earthen imprisonment in 2016 A.D.) “The present volume would indeed be a very fragmentary fragment if allowed to go forth without a more detailed account of those spiritually 298

exalted men (the incarnate angels), the Adept-Teachers of the Esoteric Doctrine, to whom such constant references have been made in these pages…There was a time, before the dark shadows of materialism, ecclesiastical and scientific, spread over humanity, when the Adept (an angel), as king and as priest, guided the progress of our race**…It has been mentioned before, that at the birth of man, a Dhyan Chohan*** (an angel) came to dwell upon our planet and instruct the children of Earth…” - Man: Fragments of a Forgotten History by "Two Chelâs (Two Initiates)" (*** “Dhyan Chohans, ‘Lords of Light,’ defined as ‘the divine Intelligences charged with the supervision of Kosmos’ (Azazel is at times referred to as Kosmos/Cosmos) [The Theosophical Glossary]. Mme Blavatsky points out that they correspond to Archangels recognized in the Roman Catholic system…(Dhyani-Chohans) are the collective hosts of spiritual beings—the Angelic Hosts of Christianity, the Elohim and ‘Messengers’ of the Jews—who are the vehicle for the manifestation of the divine or universal thought and will…This hierarchy of spiritual Beings, through which the Universal Mind comes into action, is like an army—a ‘Host’ (of angels), truly—by means of which the fighting power of a nation manifests itself, and which is composed of army corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, and so forth... [The Secret Doctrine -I, 38 /I, 70 /I, 112]” - Deity, Cosmos and Man by Geoffrey Farthing. Compare to Paracelsus writing in the 16th Century: “A man comes into possession of creative power by uniting his own mind [in a theurgic union] with the Universal Mind, and he who succeeds in doing so will be in possession of the highest possible wisdom; the lower realm of Nature will be subject to him, and the powers [angels] of Heaven will aid him, because Heaven is the servant of wisdom.” The concept of the “Holy Guardian Angel” with which practitioners of magic have so long sought to communicate is connected to this metaphysical ideal of the ‘Universal Mind’ (per Nesta Webster: “…the conception of a Universal Mind diffused through all things,” or per Franz Hartman: “…everything that exists is an expression of the thoughts of the Universal Mind, pervading all space… Everything that exists, exists in the Universal Mind…” - Magic, White and Black; also known as ‘hylozoism,’ it is from this notion of the Universal Mind from which Theosophical Society-member/psychiatrist Carl Jung derives his theory of the Collective Unconscious) of which the Theosophical Society speaks: “To some extent, there is an aspect of us that does exist beyond our physicality. It is the unseen part that helps us and tries to get us where we need to be. It acts as a guide, counselor, best friend, parent, and many other aspects depending on what we need at any given moment. Our Higher Self (“…the Higher Self, the Holy Guardian Angel to whose Knowledge and Conversation he so ardently aspires…” – p.115 The Tree of Life by Israel Regardie) will communicate with us in various ways: through intuition, hunches, sudden unexpected life changes, etc (the ‘Higher Self’ [also known as the ‘True Self’ and the ‘Alter Ego’] is a new designation in the parlance of psychology for what had previously been known in the realm of ceremonial magic as one’s ‘Holy Guardian Angel.’ See pp.13,64 Ceremonial Magic by Israel Regardie, 1980 A.D.). We may or may not choose to listen or act on those communications. But in essence, it is our physical self that is the ‘receiver’ of these messages, just like a fax machine or a telephone. When we talk about our Higher Self, it tends to conjure up all kinds of images of some kind of angelic, mystical being located in some far away place (what practitioners of magic previously referred to as your “Holy Guardian Angel”). Though there is a small amount of truth to that image, the Higher Self is a lot more physical and most importantly, local than most people tend to imagine. What most people don’t realize is that there is a very physical component to this higher part of us. Our physical self, which includes our life situation, relationships, and so on, is the outward reflection of what is going on at a higher level that is filtered through our egos. If one chooses to receive and follow that guidance, the potential is 299

that one would become the physical manifestation of his or her Higher Self (in essence becoming an avatar of an Overshadowing angel: “…a useful instrument through which the Holy Guardian Angel and its Peers may work without restriction” [Ibid p.127]). If not, then the opposite is true to the varying degree at which one chooses to accept and follow the divine guidance brought through from the Higher Self. And because our Higher Self is an infinite (immortal) being, our own potential is also infinite.” – Wikipedia: Universal Mind. In reality, following the inputs of Overshadowing angels has led many a man to insanity and ruin. This concept is however a Theosophical Society teaching: “…in The Epitome of Theosophy we find Judge writing: 'It is held that the real man, who is the higher self…overshadows the visible being... Thus it is said that the higher Spirit is not in the man, but above him.' All mystical and magical procedure has as its object so to purify the lower self that this higher self [the angel] which normally only overshadows us and is seldom in full incarnation may descend into a purified and consecrated vehicle [being in full possession of that person].” – p.14 Foundations of Practical Magic by Israel Regardie, 1979 A.D.) (** In anti-deluvian times, angels [often referred to as ‘gods’] ruled over cities, each his own. As we learn from the early church father Origin in The Philokalia Chapter XXIII v. 1 there were those who professed [the 2nd century Greek philosopher Celsus amongst them] that God, whom the Greeks knew as Zeus, “originally assigned the different parts of the earth to the different guardian angels” and “having been made into separate realms are that way administered.” As noted by American psychologist Julian Jaynes in The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind [1976 A.D.]: “Throughout Mesopotamia, from the earliest times of Sumer and Akkad, all lands were owned by gods [read: angels] and men were their slaves. Of this, the cuneiform texts leave no doubt whatsoever.” In fact, the many national gods representing the angel Azazel are oft times depicted as kings, for there was a day when the angel Azazel ruled on Earth as king. In the Sumerian King List, Dumuzi [Tammuz], a god who represents the angel Azazel, is listed therein as a king of Sumer [Sumer itself is named after Azazel. Sumer is a cognate of the name of the god Suman/Saman, also a god who represented Azazel]. Azazel is also represented as the Erl-King, king of the elves, as Ashmodai/Asmodeus, king of demons, as Osiris, king of the underworld, the serpent king Mucalinda, Nergal, King of the underworld of Hades, Melqart, king of the underworld, Ana, King of the Lower World, the Manichean King of Darkness whose kingdom lies below the earth, Chicunauhmictlan, king of the underworld, Arawn, king of the Otherworld, Moloch, a god whose very name translates as ‘king’ [mlk], Pan, king of satyrs, Sylvanus, king of sylvans, Oberon [‘Ob’ translates as ‘serpent’; compare to Obi, the serpent god of Obeah], king of fairies, and Enki, King of the Earth [it must be noted Sumer was known as KI.EN.GIR, the ‘land of the Watchers’ [IR = Watcher]. If we remove the E, the I and the R from the word KI.EN.GIR, we are left with the word ‘king.’ Also the root of the title Enki [compare to KI.EN], who likewise represented Azazel, namely, -ki, is also the root of the word ‘king,’ namely, ki-])

It is claimed the rebellious fallen angels commanded the very creation of the Theosophical Society itself: “The Theosophical Society was founded in New York in 1875, with the avowed object of forming a nucleus for a Universal Brotherhood,** and its founders state that they believe the Indian Mahatmas (read: the rebellious fallen angels) directed them to establish such a society.” - Echoes from the Orient Chapter I by William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D. (** This Universal Brotherhood [Katherine Tingley’s group located at Point Loma in San Diego, CA circa 1900 A.D.] was created upon this very self-same concept and the Universal Brotherhood itself consisted of Theosophical Society members and Thelemites 300

[Thelemites are by definition OTO members]. Universal Brotherhood member Paul Foster Case [an OTO-member initiated into the ranks of the Universal Brotherhood] has revealed this group to be connected to the Bavarian Illuminati itself. Paul Foster Case had also been a member of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as well as a member of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member/OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s A:.A:. magic order. All of these groups are quite interconnected)

Amongst a host of other titles, the rebellious fallen angels are known as the Mahatmas. Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels employ ELF waves (as well as does Satan’s band of fallen angels; all the cherubim of the angels have this same technological capability) which gives them the ability to implant thoughts within the human brain. From this concept comes the Theosophic belief in telepathy and thought-transference. In The Bible, this force is known as the “spirit of error.” This is also known as the ‘odic force’ as promulgated in the mid 19th century by Baron Carl Reichenbach, a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. The Theosophist William Q. Judge writes of the influence the rebellious fallen angels in this way exert upon the world: “But, asks the busy man of the nineteenth century who reads the newspapers and believes in "modern progress," if these elder brothers (the rebel angels) are all you claim them to be, why have they left no mark on history nor gathered men around them? Their (the angels’) own reply, published some time ago by Mr. A.P. Sinnett, is better than any I could write. "We will first discuss, if you please, the one relating to the presumed failure of the 'Fraternity' to 'leave any mark upon the history of the world.' They ought, you think, to have been able, with their extraordinary advantages, to have 'gathered into their schools a considerable portion of the more enlightened minds of every race.' How do you know they have made no such mark? Are you acquainted with their efforts, successes, and failures? …What they have done they know; all that those outside their circle could perceive was results, the causes of which were masked from view. To account for these results, men have, in different ages, invented theories of the interposition of gods, special providences, fates,** the benign or hostile influences of the stars. There never was a time within or before the so-called historical period when our predecessors (the rebel angels) were not moulding events and 'making history,' … And we, borne along on the mighty tide, can only modify and direct some of its minor currents." (excerpted from A.P. Sinnett’s The Occult World London 1888 A.D.)” - The Ocean of Theosophy Chapter I by William Q. Judge (** ‘Fates’ are guardian tutelary spirits in the ancient Roman 301

tradition from whence is derived our word ‘fairies’ as well as the term ‘fay angels,’ all being representative of the rebellious fallen angels. The word fate [cognate with fatal] is synonymous with the word destroyer as in the Destroyer angels) As Judge explains: “Some years ago a well-known Anglo-Indian, writing to the Theosophical Adepts (to Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels), queried if they had ever made any mark upon the web of history, doubting that they had. The reply was that he had no bar at which to arraign them, and that they had written many an important line upon the page of human life, not only as reigning in visible shape (these angels reigned on Earth before the Deluge. Humans worshipped them as gods), but down to the very latest dates when, as for many a long century before, they did their work behind the scenes. To be more explicit, these wonderful men (read: incarnate angels) have swayed the destiny of nations and are shaping events today. Pillars of peace and makers of war such as (Prussian stateman Otto von) Bismarck (instrumental in the creation of the country known as Germany, the leading combatant of World Wars I and II), or saviors of nations such as (American Presidents George) Washington, (Abraham) Lincoln and (Ulysses S.) Grant, owe their elevation, their singular power, and their astonishing grasp upon the right men for their purposes, not to trained intellect or long preparation in the schools of their day, but to these very unseen Adepts (rebellious fallen angels)…” - Echoes from the Orient Chapter IV by William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D. (And one may argue that the ideas of these men came from the rebellious fallen angels with whom they were in contact. Master inventor Thomas Edison was known as the Wizard of Menlo Park, not from his creative prowess, per se, but from the ceremonial magic practices in which he was involved as a member in good standing of the mystical Theosophical Society. The rebellious fallen angels were known to implant thoughts within the minds of such Overshadowed men. Perhaps it is to these very angels that Edison owes his inspirations)

In an 1883 A.D. article in Theosophist magazine entitled ‘The Adepts in America in 1776,’ William Q. Judge divulges: “The reflecting mind is filled with astonishment upon reviewing the history of the rise of the United States of N. America, when it perceives that dogmatic theology has no foundation in any part of the Declaration of Independence or Constitution for the structure which it fain would raise and has so often since tried to erect within and upon the 302

government. We are astonished because those documents were formulated and that government established at a time when dogmatism of one kind or another had supreme sway. Although the Puritans and others had come to America for religious freedom, they were still very dogmatic and tenacious of their own peculiar theories and creed; so that if we found in this fundamental law much about religion and religious establishments, we would not be surprised. But in vain do we look for it, in vain did the supporters of the iron church attempt to lay the needed corner stone, and today America rejoices at it, and has thereby found it possible to grow with the marvelous growth that has been the wonder of Europe. The nullification of these efforts made by bigotry in 1776 was due to the adepts (the rebellious fallen angels) who now look over and give the countenance of their great name (‘Theosophi’) to the Theosophical Society. They (the rebellious fallen angels) oversaw the drafting of the Declaration and the drawing of the Constitution, and that is why no foothold is to be found for these blatant Christians who desire to inject God into the constitution. In the declaration, from which freedom sprang, "nature and nature's god" are referred to. In the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs the natural rights of man are specified, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The king is spoken of as being unworthy to be "the head of a civilized nation," nothing being said as to whether he was the head, or worthy to be, of a Christian one. In appealing to their British brethren, the declaration says the appeal is "made to their native justice and magnanimity." All reference to religion and Christianity or God's commands are left out. This was for the very good reason that for 1700 years religion had battled against progress, against justice, against magnanimity, against the rights of man. And in the concluding sentence the signers mutually pledge each other to its support ignoring all appeals to God. In the constitution of 1787 the preamble declares that the instrument was made for union, for justice, for tranquility and defense, the general good and liberty. Art. VI says no religious test as a qualification for office shall ever be required, and the 1st Amendment prohibits an establishment of religion or restraint of its free exercise. The great Theosophical Adepts (the rebellious angels) in looking around the world for a mind through which they could produce in America the reaction which was then needed, found in England, Thomas Paine. In 1774 they (the rebellious angels) influenced him, through the help of that worthy (Freemasonic) Brother Benjamin Franklin, to come to America. He came here and was the 303

main instigator of the separation of the Colonies from the British Crown. At the suggestion of (George) Washington, (Benjamin) Franklin, (Thomas) Jefferson and other Freemasons, whose minds through the teachings of the symbolic degrees of masonry were fitted to reason correctly, and to reject theological conservation, he wrote "Common Sense," which was the torch to the pile whose blaze burned away the bonds between England and America. For "Common Sense" he was often publicly thanked. George Washington wrote September 10th, 1783, to Paine: "I shall be exceedingly happy to see you. Your presence may remind Congress of your past services to this country, and if it is in my power to impress them, command my best exertions with freedom, as they will be rendered cheerfully by one who entertains a lively sense of the importance of your works." And again in June 1784, in a letter to (James) Madison, Washington says: "Can nothing be done in our assembly for poor Paine? Must the merits and services of 'Common Sense' continue to glide down the stream of time unrewarded by this country? His writings certainly have had a powerful effect upon the public mind. Ought they not then to meet an adequate return?" In the "Age of Reason" which he wrote in Paris several years after, Paine says: "I saw, or at least I thought I saw, a vast scene opening itself to the world in the affairs of America; and it appeared to me that unless the Americans changed the plan they were then pursuing and declared themselves independent, they would not only involve themselves in a multiplicity of new difficulties, but shut out the prospect that was then offering itself to mankind through their means." Further on he says: "There are two distinct classes of thoughts; those produced by reflection, and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord. I have always made it a rule to treat these voluntary visitors with civility, and it is from them I have acquired all the knowledge that I have." These "voluntary visitors" were injected into his brain by the Adepts (by the rebellious fallen angels), Theosophists. Seeing that a new order of ages was about to commence and that there was a new chance for freedom and the brotherhood of man (a key Theosophic goal), they laid before the eye of Thomas Paine—who they knew could be trusted to stand almost alone with the lamp of truth in his hand amidst others who in "times that tried men's souls" quaked with fear—a "vast scene opening itself to Mankind in the affairs of America." The result was the Declaration, the Constitution for America. And as if to give point to these words and to his declaration that he saw this vast scene opening itself, this 304

new order of ages, the design of the reverse side of the U.S. great seal is a pyramid whose capstone is removed with the blazing eye in a triangle over it dazzling the sight, above it are the words "the heavens approve," while underneath appears the startling sentence "a new order of ages." That he had in his mind's eye a new order of ages we cannot doubt upon reading in his "Rights of Man," Part 2, Chap. 2, "no beginning could be made in Asia, Africa or Europe, to reform the political condition of man. She (America) made a stand not for herself alone, but for the world, and looked beyond the advantage she could receive." In Chap. 4, "The case and circumstances of America present themselves as in the beginning of a world...there is a morning of reason rising upon man, on the subject of Government, that has not appeared before." The design "of the seal" was not an accident, but was actually intended to symbolize the building and firm founding of a new order of ages. It was putting into form the idea which by means of a "voluntary visitor" (an implanted thought) was presented to the mind of Thomas Paine, of a vast scene opening itself, the beginning in America of "a new order of ages." That side of the seal has never been cut or used, and at this day the side in use has not the sanction of law. In the spring of 1841, when Daniel Webster was Secretary of State, a new seal was cut, and instead of the eagle holding in his sinister claw 13 arrows as intended, he holds only six. Not only was this change unauthorized, but the cause for it is unknown. When the other side is cut and used, will not the new order of ages have actually been established? More then is claimed for the Theosophical Adepts (the rebellious fallen angels) than the changing of baser metal into gold (a goal of the Alchemists/Rosicrucians), or the possession of such a merely material thing as the elixir of life. They (the rebellious fallen angels) watch (a play on the word ‘Watcher’) the progress of man and help him on in his halting flight up the steep plane of progress. They (the rebellious fallen angels) hovered over Washington, Jefferson, and all the other brave freemasons who dared to found a free Government in the West, which could be pure from the dross of dogmatism, they (the rebellious fallen angels) cleared their minds, inspired their pens and left upon the great seal of this mighty nation the memorial of their presence. Theosophist, October, 1883” (Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours [father of Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, the founder of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company© (better known as DuPont©, one of the largest [al]chemical companies in the world), patriarch and progenitor of one of America's richest business dynasties], who was a French friend of the first United States Ambassador to France Benjamin Franklin, wrote in his book entitled Philosophy of the Universe of “immortal 305

spirits which he called "Optimates" and through whom any illuminé can have communication. It is always the doctrine of the "ammoneans" gods, the "eons" or "eloims'' (the Elohim; angels) of antiquity.” - from a Footnote to Occult Theocracy p.213). As we learn from Wikipedia: Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours: “Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours (December 14, 1739 – August 7, 1817) was a French nobleman, writer, economist, and government official, who was the father of Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, the founder of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company, patriarch and progenitor of one of America's richest business dynasties of the 19th and 20th centuries...He was initially a supporter of the French Revolution and served as president of the National Constituent Assembly...he and his entire family left for the United States in 1799... In the United States, he developed strong ties with industry and government, in particular with Thomas Jefferson. Pierre engaged in informal diplomacy between the United States and France during the reign of Napoleon (who in 1797 A.D. had attempted to abolish the Papacy only to be frustrated in this attempt by the Christian czar of Russia). He was the originator of an idea that eventually became the Louisiana Purchase…His son, Eleuthère Irénée, founded what would become one of the largest and most successful American corporations: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company” [DuPont©].” The du Pont family is connected to the Astor, Rockefeller and Roosevelt families [the Astors and Roosevelts are related by marriage through President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s brother James Roosevelt, Sr.]. The DuPont© corporation would play a major role in the Manhattan Project, the Allied effort to create the atomic bomb which as the reader shall discover is a quite common denominator amongst the latter day occultists of our story)

And again in an 1884 A.D. article entitled ‘Adepts and Politics’: “…the American revolution was a just one, started to accomplish a beneficial end… Allow me to point to a historical fact in connection with the Count St. Germain (who had played an important role in the palace intrigue which resulted in the dethronement of Russian Emperor Peter III, thereby replacing him with Catherine the Great in 1762 A.D.), which will shed some light on the question of what, if any, connection do some adepts (rebellious fallen angels) have with justifiable revolutions. One of the well-known generals who fought with (George) Washington, in the Continental army against the British, was General Fred. Wm. Von Stueben, a Prussian. In 1777 he was in Paris, and at the same time the [Claude Louis] Count St. Germain was Minister of War there [the Count St. Germain had served in the armies of Bavaria under the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII and Frederick the Great]. They were well acquainted with each other [Von Steuben had served as aide-de-camp for Frederick the Great], and the Count induced Von Steuben to come over to America and offer his sword to Genl. Washington. He did so, was gladly received, and did splendid service in the cause of liberty. Everybody knows that St. Germain was an Adept (an incarnate, rebellious fallen angel), and the fact above detailed is set forth in many publications and letters of authentic force. 306

Mr. Dolatram picks up the expression "brother (Benjamin) Franklin." I never heard, nor ever said, that Franklin was a Theosophist. He was a Freemason, and therefore a "brother," so was (George) Washington and (Thomas) Jefferson. A sincere mason will be a just man who reveres liberty and abhors a tyrant. As Krishna (a Hindu god who represented the angel Azazel) says in the Bhagavad-Gita (as found within the 18 book Hindu epic poem, the Mahabharata, an Eastern religious work abounding with tales of supernatural beings, their human partners and their heroic hybrid offspring) of himself, we may hear the Adept (the rebellious fallen angel) saying: "I am manifested in every age for the purpose of restoring duty and destroying evil doing" (thereby masquerading as an angel of light). Ex Asiatic Theosophist, June, 1884” The following is from an 1890 A.D. article by Judge entitled ‘One of the Signs of the Cycle’: “The people of all nations now turn their eyes to America, and that name for them stands for the United States. Its energy, activity, and freedom hold the imagination of the foreigner, and here he thinks aspirations may be realized, unfettered by the chains of caste, kingly prerogative, or religious restraint. With all that, Europeans often laugh at the newness and crudity of America, yet admiration cannot be withheld for the tremendous nerve power, the facile adaptability, the swift onward rush of the civilization beginning to bloom in the United States. It is the occult forces working in this land and really affecting all men, whether they know it or not, that is the reason. Men who are not counted seers often see centuries into the future; and Tom Paine, the last who could be called a seer, had one such sight about America, although he called it a thought or "that which he saw with his mind's eye." When he was yet in England he wrote that he seemed to see a great vista opening for the world in the affairs in America. This was before he wrote Common Sense, which, as George Washington said, did more for our independence than any other thing. Paine was destined to be a great factor in American affairs, and naturally-in the occultist's eyes at least-he would see in advance some slight vision of the "great experiment" in which he was so soon to take an influential share. This experiment was not conceived alone by mortal minds, but is a part of the evolutionary plan, for here the next great movement has already begun and will reach a high development. 307

Its greatest importance for us is theosophically. We think, quite naturally, that the theosophic ideas and culture are supreme, but if we needed confirmation from the outer barbarians we have it in the latelywritten words of the great Frenchman, Emile Burnouf (1821-1907 A.D.), who said that one of the three great factors in religious development of today is the Theosophical Society. If we assume this to be true, a glance at statistics will point to one of the signs of the cycle. In England there are almost 30 million people, yet for fifteen years the Theosophical Society has not made much progress there. For some years but one branch existed-the London Lodge, and now there are not ten. India has a population of 350,000,000, but if a count were taken we should find that the possible material available for the creation of T.S. (Theosophical Society) Branches would not reach 1,000,000 souls. The reason for this is that out of the whole of 350,000,000 there are an immense number who cannot sympathise with the movement, indeed can hardly know of it, because they are uneducated and unable to speak or read English; the English-speaking Hindu is one who joins us there. And we find in India say 175 active Branches. Turning now to America—to the United States where Theosophy has been promulgated—we can only reckon on a population of say 50,000,000. Yet those 50,000,000 have furnished us with 36 Branches, and more rapidly coming into existence. Those who work for and in the T.S. (Theosophical Society) in the United States know of the great interest there is in the subject in every part of the country, and can feel quite sure that not only may there very soon be one hundred Branches here, but also that nearly every man, woman, and child will ere long know of the word of Theosophy and of the Society bearing its name. Several causes make this possible in the United States as nowhere else. There is a wider spread of general English education, a more constant reading of newspapers and magazines by all classes from lowest to highest, and a keener spirit of inquiry working in a freer mental atmosphere, than in any other country. The statistics given lead to but one conclusion: they place the possibilities of theosophical growth in the United States ahead of India. Anyone can calculate the proportions in the proposition: given the U.S. with 50 million people and 36 Branches, more than two-thirds of which have been formed within the last three years, and India numbering one million available people and 175 Branches, of which the greater number have been in existence many years, which is greater proportional growth and which gives greater promise for the future? But the analysis must not end here, for 308

the conditions and the people are different. Most of India's people will probably for many centuries remain as they are, some technical idolators, some Jains, some Mohammedans, some Fire worshippers, and some Buddhists. But here the lines of demarcation between the different sects are being shaded into disappearance, there are no great differences of religion and of caste, and people of all avowed religions are daily finding theosophy creeping into their thoughts and their literature. It is a sign of the Cycle; it points to India as the conserver of the ancient wisdom-religion (Theosophy), and to America as its new and vigorous champion who will adopt those old truths without fear of caste or prejudice, and exemplify them through the new race to be brought forth in the old Fifth continent. The careful student of Theosophy will not fail to see that America alone, of all lands, meets all the requirements respecting the problem. "Where is the new race to be born?" H.P. Blavatsky in the Secret Doctrine calls it the Fifth continent, although for the time including Europe under that head. Here we see the fusion of all races going on before our eyes, and here too is the greatest push of energy, of inquiry, and of achievement. William Brehon Path, May, 1890” (It must be noted that the Father of Indian independence Mahatma Ghandi (October 2, 1869 – January 30, 1948) and the First Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru (November 14, 1889 – May 27, 1964) were famous historical players who are in fact known to be Indian Theosophical Society members (Theosophical Society Adyar). The loss of much of Britain’s Empire (most importantly the loss of India due to Ghandi’s famous nonviolent exertions) as well as the ravishments inflicted on Britain by Germany during World War II left America pre-eminent on the world scene, inaugurating the Baconian new order of the ages). “Student—Are there any Adepts (rebellious fallen angels) in America or Europe? Sage—Yes, there are and always have been. But they have for the present kept themselves hidden from the public gaze. The real ones have a wide work to do in many departments of life and in preparing certain persons who have a future work to do. Though their influence is wide they are not suspected, and that is the way they want to work for the present…Nothing is omitted by these Adepts. In Europe it is the same way...” - Vernal Blooms by William Quan Judge “The word “glamour” (‘deceptio visus’) was long ago defined in old dictionaries as “witchery or a charm on the eyes, making them see 309

things differently from what they really are.” … This power of glamour is used more often than people think, and not excluding members of the T.S. (the Theosophical Society), by the Adepts (the rebellious fallen angels). They (the angels) are often among us from day to day appearing in a guise we do not recognize, and are dropping ideas into men’s minds…as well as also inciting men and women to good acts (as these implanted “ideas,” though not always good, are put into action by those who receive them). By this means they (the angels) pass unrecognized and are able to accomplish more...” - Vernal Blooms by William Quan Judge (Pertinent Quote: “…the brain…is an electromagnetic receiver, similar in many respects to a radio…impulses to the brain from all systems and organs of the body are electrical. The optical system converts light to electricity, which in turn stimulates the visual areas of the brain; the auditory system does the same with sound. Even the will to act is governed by electrical impulses to the brain…electrical stimulation to specific parts of the brain can control certain emotions. If these signals can be given directly, then theoretically they can be transmitted over a distance, to be received by our ‘brain radios.’ The brain is also a transmitter…So again, in theory we can imagine a device capable of refining and amplifying these signals, making it possible to [transmit as well as to] receive them from a long distance.” – pp.33-34 God Drives a Flying Saucer by R. L. Dione, 1969 A.D.)

The following is from an 1892 A.D. article in Lucifer magazine entitled ‘On the Furture: A Few Reflections’: "It seems as if some power (‘power’ is a word synonymous with ‘angel’), deliberately planning, had selected North and South America for the place where a new primary root-race should be begun (America is indeed a ‘melting pot’ of races and cultures). These two continents were evidently the seats of ancient races and not the habitat of wild undeveloped men. The red man of the Northern one has all the appearance and (Shamanic) beliefs of a once great race. He believes in one God (the Great Spirit), a Devachan** of happy hunting after death. Some tribes have diagrams of how the world was formed and peopled, that strangely resemble Hindû cosmogony, and their folklore bears deep marks of having come down from an older and better time. Following the course of exploration southwards, we find accumulating evidences all the way of a prior civilization now gone with the cyclic wave which brought it up. Central America is crowded with remains in stone and brick; and so on south still we discover similar proofs. In course of time these continents became what might be called arable land, lying waiting, recuperating, until the European streams of men began to pour upon it. The Spanish overflowed South America and 310

settled California and Mexico; the English, French, and Spanish took the North, and later all nations came, so that now in both continents nearly every race is mixed and still mixing. Chinese even have married women of European blood; Hindûs are also here; the ancient Parsî race has its representatives; the Spanish mixed with the aborigines, and the slaveholders with the Africans. I doubt not but that someone from every race known to us has been here and has left, within the last two hundred years, some impression through mixture of blood…But no America as we now know it will exist. Yet these men must be the descendants of the race that is now rising here. Otherwise our philosophy is all wrong. So then, in America now is forming the new sub-race, and in this land was founded the present Theosophical Society: two matters of great importance. It was to the United States, observe, that the messenger of the Masters (angels) came, although Europe was just as accessible for the enterprise set on foot. Later, this messenger went to India and then to Europe, settling down in the British Isles. All of this is of importance in our reflections. For why in America at first does she begin the movement, and why end her part of it in England? One might be led to ask why was not an effort made at all costs to give the last impulse outwardly in the land of promise where she began the work? Do not imagine for one moment, O ye English brothers of mine, that London was selected for this because the beauties of your island called her, or for that she had decided at the finish that after all a mistake had been made in not going there first. It was all out of stern necessity, with a wisdom derived from many older heads, having in view the cycles as they sweep restlessly forward. The point where the great energy is started, the centre of force, is the more important, and not the place at which it is ended. And this remains true, no matter how essential the place of ending may be in the scheme. What, do you suppose India is not as important? and would not that land have offered seemingly a better spot than all for the beginning of the magnum opus? Adepts (the rebellious fallen angels) do not make mistakes like that. America’s discovery is ascribed to Christopher Columbus. Although it is doubted, yet no one doubts that the Spanish people did the most at first in peopling it, meanwhile working off some old and making some new Karma, by killing many of the aborigines. Thus it is that doomed people rush on to their doom, even as the troops of insects, animals and men were seen by Arjuna to rush into Krishna's flaming mouths. But later came the sturdy stock from England, who, in the greatest nation, the most enduring on this 311

continent, have left their impress indelibly in the people, in its laws, in its constitution, its customs, its literature and language. Perhaps England and Ireland are the gateways for the Egos (read: fallen angels) who incarnate here in the silent work of making a new race. Maybe there is some significance in the fact that more lines of steamships conveying human freight come to the United States from England, passing Ireland on the way as the last seen land of the old world, than from anywhere else. The deeds of men, the enterprises of merchants, and the wars of soldiers all follow implicitly a law that is fixed in the stars, and while they copy the past they ever symbolize the future. Did H. P. B. (Helena P. Blavatsky) only joke when she wrote in her book that Ireland is an ancient Atlantean remnant, and England a younger Isle, whose rising from the sea was watched by wise men (Magi) from Erin's (Ireland’s) shore? Perhaps the people of that old land may have an important influence in the new race of America. It would appear from comparison that they might have had, and probably will in the future. Perhaps, politically, since many expect social disturbances in America. In such a case any student of character will admit that the Irish, ignorant or not, will stand for law and order - for her sons are not battling here with an ancient foe. Why, too, by strange freak of fate is the great stone of destiny in Westminster Abbey fixed under the coronation chair on which the Queen was crowned? Let us also be informed if there be any finger-shadow pointing to the future in the fact that England's Queen, crowned over that stone, is Empress of India, from which we claim the Aryans came, and where their glorious long-forgotten knowledge is preserved? Her name is Victory (Victoria). It is the victory for "the new order of Ages"; and that new order began in America…For in America those whose Karma has led them there will work for the same end and brotherhood as others left in India and Europe. The dominant language and style of thought in America is English, albeit transforming itself every day. It is there that silently the work goes on…” - William Q. Judge, F.T.S. Lucifer, March, 1892” (** Devachan, from where originate the devas/angels, represents the New Earth: “The word Devachan is the theosophical name for heaven (read: the New Earth), and, literally translated, means the shining land, or the Land of the Gods (or rather, I might say, the land of the ‘shining ones’). (Devasthan, the place of the Gods, is the Sanskrit equivalent. It is the Svarga of the Hindus; the Sukhâvati of the Buddhists; the Heaven of the Zoroastrians and Christians, and of the less materialised among the Mohammedans).” - Chapter V The Ancient Wisdom by Annie Besant)

Freemasonry is part of what is known as The Theosophical 312

Movement: “The Theosophical Movement (the creation of which was influenced by the rebellious fallen angels) being continuous, it is to be found in all times and in all nations. Wherever thought has struggled to be free, wherever spiritual ideas, as opposed to forms and dogmatism, have been promulgated, there the great movement is to be discerned. Jacob Boehme's work was a part of it, and so also was the Theosophical Society of over one hundred years ago; (Martin) Luther's reformation (made possible through the secret Rosicrucian Society, Rosicrucianism being known as ‘the great reformation of Occultism in the West.” See p. 105 Ritual Magic of the Golden Dawn, King, 1987) must be reckoned as a portion of it; and the great struggle between Science and Religion, clearly portrayed by Draper (as related in History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science by John William Draper, M.D.; 1910 A.D.)), was every bit as much a motion of the Theosophical Movement as is the present Society of that name indeed that struggle, and the freedom thereby gained for science, were really as important in the advance of the world, as are our different organizations. And among political examples of the movement is to be counted the Independence of the American colonies, ending in the formation of a great nation, theoretically based on Brotherhood. One can therefore see that to worship an organization, even though it be the beloved theosophical one, is to fall down before Form (a reference to the god Khoronzon, who is Azazel, known as the ‘Master of Form’ in the Enochian magic system, or Master KH for short), and to become the slave once more of that dogmatism which our portion of the Theosophical Movement, the T.S. (the Theosophical Society), was meant to overthrow. Some members have worshipped the so-called "Theosophical Society," thinking it to be all in all, and not properly perceiving its de facto and piecemeal character as an organization nor that it was likely that this devotion to mere form would lead to a nullification of Brotherhood at the first strain. And this latter, indeed, did occur with several members. They even forgot, and still forget, that H. P. Blavatsky herself declared that it were better to do away with the (Theosophical) Society rather than to destroy Brotherhood, and that she herself declared the European part of it free and independent. These worshippers think that there must be a continuance of the old form (magic based?) in order for the (Theosophical) Society to have an international character. But the real unity and prevalence, and the real 313

internationalism, do not consist in having a single organization. They are found in the similarity of aim, of aspiration, of purpose, of teaching, of ethics. Freemasonry - a great and important part of the true Theosophical Movement - is universally international; and yet its organizations are numerous, autonomous, sovereign, independent. The Grand Lodge of the state of New York, including its different Lodges, is independent of all others in any state, yet every member is a Mason and all are working on a single plan. Freemasons over all the world belong to the great International Masonic Body, yet they have everywhere their free and independent government. The American Group, being by geographical and other conditions outwardly separate, began the change so as to be in government free and independent, but in basis, aspiration, aim and work united with all true Theosophists. Path, August, 1895” – ‘The Theosophical Movement’ (“The Habsburg realm became internally divided when the German princes of the Empire had largely supported the Protestant movement against the Catholic Church, which was ostensibly defended by the Habsburg rulers. The rising tide of the Protestant movement came to a head in Bohemia, where the Kabbalistic underground surfaced in the manner of the Order of the Rosicrucians, otherwise known as the Order of the Rosy Cross. The ultimate aim of the Order was that of abolishing the (Roman Catholic) Church, and replacing it with a government of “wise” rulers (a priesthood of wisemen/Magi, invokers of fallen angels. This movement lives on at the Bohemian Grove, from which in part it derives its name). As explained by occult historian Laurence Gardner [Bloodline of the Holy Grail, p.306]: ‘It was by no chance that Martin Luther’s protest gained support in some very influential circles, for Rome had many enemies in high places. Not the least of these enemies were the Knights Templars, and the underground Hermetic societies [including the Rosicrucians] whose esoteric crafts [such as alchemy, magic and witchcraft] had been condemned by the Catholic Inquisition. The truth was not so much that Luther gained the support of others, but that he was the willing instrument of an already active movement [this ‘movement’ being known as the Theosophical Movement] which endeavored to dismantle the rigid international domination of the Pope.’” – Terrorism and the Illuminati: A Three Thousand Year History by David Livingstone)

The Theosophical Society is one of the latest players amongst a greater Theosophical Movement of which the Freemasonic and Rosicrucian movements were a part: “The Theosophical Society, in its brief history, has produced a vast field of literature embracing science, philosophy and religion—as well as mysticism and occultism. The Secret Doctrine by Madame H.P. Blavatsky is an almost inexhaustible source. Besides the Theosophical Society, there are other contemporary movements which emphasize some particular phase of this universal teaching: The Christian Mystics, the Rosicrucian Fellowship, the Masonic Order, to name only a few.” - PREFACE from The Theosophical Seal (Arthur M. Coon) 314

“Europe is a large place but the world is bigger yet. The sun of Theosophy must shine for all, not for a part. There is more of this movement than you have yet had an inkling of, and the work of the T.S. (Theosophical Society) is linked in with similar work that is secretly going on in all parts of the world” (it a conspiracy on a global scale, a body composed of many cells; concerning the modern outcry against conspiracy theorists, methinks the Madame doth protest too much). - The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett Letter No. 47 (received 1882 A.D.) These secret societies had embarked upon The Great Work. The Great Work was “the mystery of lawlessness” which was “already at work” (hence the name, The Great Work) in the time of Jesus, albeit in the form of its original Masonic incarnation: “Now concerning the (Second) coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first (a reference to the American Revolution of 1776), and the man of lawlessness (a reference to the beast with the mortal wound that was healed) is revealed (takes office), the son of perdition…the mystery of lawlessness (this term “the mystery of lawlessness” is in reference to the coming of the lawless one, that is, of the beast with the mortal wound that was healed, by the activity of the rebel angel Satan. See 2Thessalonians 2:9) is already at work (the coming of the lawless one, that is, of the beast with the mortal wound that was healed, was a scheme of Satan already in the works at the time of Jesus); only he (an American president) who now restrains it (who now restrains the revealing of the lawless one) will do so until he is out of the way (until he dies or is incapacitated, unable to finish out his fully elected term, or simply by the expiration of his duly elected term). And then the lawless one (the beast with the mortal wound that was healed) will be revealed (then the beast with the mortal wound that was healed will assume office as a matter of succession)…” 2Thessalonians 2:1,3,7,8

“In time there came degradation of the Mysteries (these Mysteries were centered around knowledge concerning the existence of the rebellious fallen angels), and the inner light and life (the knowledge conveyed by the Mysteries) were largely withdrawn from them, yet they did not entirely die. In spite of the (Roman Catholic) Church, all through the darkest times when anyone who was suspected of 315

unorthodoxy was relentlessly persecuted, when it would seem that knowledge was dead, and that anything like intellectual progress was impossible, there were nevertheless certain half-secret societies which carried on something of the tradition and the (great) work. There were the Knights Templar, the Rosicrucians of the Middle Ages, the Knights of Light, the Brothers of Asia, and many another occult body. It is true that in many of these there seems to have been but little knowledge, and even that heavily veiled; yet then, as ever, it remained true that there were always in the background those who knew, so that those who earnestly sought the Truth have always been able to find it.” - Some Glimpses of Occultism by C.W. Leadbeater (Ceremonial magician G.I. Gurjieff’s Sufibased system was likewise referred to as “the work.”)

The Theosophical Society claims to even have played a part in sowing the seeds for war in Europe: “It is true that in that Theosophical Society we had a foretaste of this endeavour to dominate the world, for the German section of the Theosophical Society rose against the rest of it (he speaks of course of the intrigues of Rudolf Steiner; unsuccessful in this endeavor, Steiner, along with the entire German section of the Theosophical Society, broke away and formed the German Anthroposophical Society in 1913 A.D.) and tried to obtain supreme power in the (Theosophical) Society some years ago, before this war (World War I) was in sight. They employed exactly the same weapons that are now being employed by the political agents of the German press: the same unscrupulous lies, the same discovery of spies in all sorts of unexpected places. We in the Theosophical Society went through—on paper of course mainly— a small edition of this attempt to capture the whole organization (which attempt was a typical example of an Intelligence undercover organizational takeover commonly practiced by the secretive Intelligence networks through which the angels work). We did not understand then; the utter unscrupulousness of it all astounded us. Now we see that it was only part of the whole German scheme—an attempt to get hold of a world-wide Society, through which something might have been done to help the German plan of world-domination. Fortunately, the scheme was defeated, with all its attendant calumny and treachery” (unscrupulous in their entirety, the fallen angels will not hesitate to play one group off against another in furtherance of there aims. Contrary to popular Theosophical belief, they are not 316

friends of humankind; their aim is its ultimate destruction). - Occult View of War by C.W. Leadbeater (Hitler did, however, gain control of a society in Germany from whence he could launch his scheme of world-domination. The Vril Society (also known as The Luminous Lodge) was a secret society founded in Berlin, Germany, by a group of Berlin Rosicrucians being based on author Edward Bulwer-Lytton's novel The Coming Race [circa 1871 A.D.] about an advanced group of men [read: incarnate angels; ‘Underground Supermen’] said to be residing within the Earth and of who it is said will later emerge to rule over the world, which story was based on the story of the rebellious fallen angel Azazel. Indeed, this novel was, as we learn from the words of Bulwer-Lytton, predicated on: “The superstitious belief, common to miners, that gnomes or fiends dwell within the bowels of the earth,” the gnomes being folkloric representations, of course, of Azazel and his group of fallen angels entrapped within the earth. The Vril Society would later become the inner circle of the Thule Society. The Thule Society was the organization that sponsored the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei [The German Workers (read: Labor) Party] which was later transformed by Adolf Hitler into the Nazi Party. Hitler too, claimed to be in contact with these ‘Underground Supermen.’ It must be noted the swastika symbol adopted by the Nazi Party is an element in the design of the Theosophical Society Seal. Of an interesting note, Annie Besant in Adyar Pamphlet No. 30 entitled Communication between Different Worlds calls the Theosophical Society “the nucleus of the Coming Race.” In another pamphlet Besant confides: “Watch the lists as they come out in the picture-papers, especially of Europe; you will find every week faces of almost boys, young fellows, 18, 19 and 20 — so many below 30 years of age. England has given up her children till now by voluntary offering, and not by force of conscription. They are seeing that the flower of the Nation is being destroyed, the best of the Nation are being killed, those who are noblest, most self-sacrificing, they are being swept away in this frightful War (World War I). What is England to do, the people cry, for the births of the coming generation, when the best and the noblest are taken away? We look at it from a different standpoint. We say that these answer the call of the Lord Vaivasvata Manu (read: the angel Azazel), who needs the noblest for the building of "the coming race." They do not die, when their bodies are struck away by shrapnel, by rifle, by high explosive. What matters the killing of the body? The man is set free, and by virtue of his sacrifice, by the fact that he has given up all the joys of his young manhood, all ambitions, everything that makes life joyous, all the young strength of manhood — by that tremendous sacrifice he has sprung forward in evolution, he has answered the call of the Manu (read: the call of Azazel, the god of war), whether he knows it or not.” – The Coming Race (Adyar Pamphlets No.76 written by Annie Besant, 1917A.D.)

It is of the fallen rebellious angels of which George S. Arundale, as General Secretary of the Theosophical Society in England and Wales, speaks when he writes: “Mr. (D.N.) Dunlop asks us to remember in these times of stress and turmoil (he is writing during World War I when England was at war with Germany) that the great Fathers of the world (the rebellious angels) watch over us (a play on the word ‘Watchers’) as They have ever done, that there is open to us the same ancient and narrow way to communion with Them (communication with these angels) as has existed from time immemorial, testimony to the existence of which may be found in the Scriptures of every world religion. We are told of the existence of Masters (the rebellious angels), our Elder Brethren, Those who have 317

learned the lessons we are learning now, and Who have dedicated Themselves to the task of guiding us along the road Their feet have already trodden.” - Forward to The Path of Attainment by D.N. Dunlop, 1916 A.D. Universal Brotherhood

According to 33° Freemason and Theosophical Society member C.W. Leadbeater: “Prince (Otto von) Bismarck…had considerable occult knowledge…Speaking of the War (World War I), he said that if we (British Theophosists) were servants of the Hierarchy (of the rebellious fallen angels) and students of Occultism we must know that Germany was in the right…Further, he said that if we (British Theophosists) ourselves served the true inner Government of the world (consisting of the rebellious fallen angels) we must know that it (the true inner Government of the world, the rebellious fallen angels) is the very opposite of all democratic theories, and that therefore it is Germany, and not England, who is fighting for the ideals of the hierarchical Government (fighting for the ideologies of the fallen angels)…If any should be inclined to doubt that a whole nation can be so obsessed from behind (by the rebellious fallen angels), a nation which has a great deal that is beautiful in its past history, which has produced some really fine people - if any should be disposed to doubt that, let him take the official German statements, and read the proclamations of His Imperial Majesty the Kaiser; the proclamations in which he speaks of himself (and probably he believes it) as commissioned by God to govern the world; in which he says: "On me the spirit of God has descended. I guard my whole task as appointed by heaven. Who opposes me I shall crush to pieces…Unquestionably it is true that the powers (angels are called ‘powers’) from behind are working through these people now…This is the real explanation of all that seems so incomprehensible; these people that fight us are not fighting only of themselves. They are directed by a power (read: an angel) of will far stronger than their own, and they are driven on to do awful things. They are willing enough to be driven, for that is all part of the obsession. The men (the incarnate rebel angels) who drive them are utterly unscrupulous, and will use any means whatever to gain their end, for they know nothing of what we mean by right or wrong. They hold it as a manly duty to kill our all emotion or sympathy, because they consider such feelings a weakness. 318

They are pitiless, exactly as a shark is. The slaughter or torture of thousands or millions is nothing whatever to them, so long as they gain their end…We are all trying, so far as may be, to prepare

for the coming of the Great Teacher (Maitreya, the False Prophet Azazel). Realize that this great War (World War I) is part of the world-preparation, and that, however terrible it may be, there is yet the other side - the enormous good that is being done to individuals (evolutionarily speaking, of course). Perhaps in the distant future when we come to look back upon it all with greater knowledge and with wider purview, we shall see that the good has outweighed all the frightful evil, and that though the old order changeth, giving place to new (the New World Order), it is only that God may fulfill Himself in many ways.” - Occult View of War C.W. Leadbeater. When one encounters the use of the word ‘God,’ one must not assume it is the Christian God of which the person speaks (“…the message of the Coming of the Teacher—the Jagad Guru (which literally means the Guru of the world) (aka the World Teacher; ‘guru’ means ‘teacher’), or any other name that you like to call Him by—that Coming of the Teacher is the latest message that the Theosophical Society has given to the world.” – Duties of the Theosophist by Annie Besant. This also holds true when one encounters the word ‘Christ,’ as it is believed amongst Theosophists as we learn from Revelation: The Divine Fire p.75 that there have been many such ‘Christs,’ that Jesus was but one in a line of them. Seek therefore clarification in such matters. Indeed, according to the Share International Foundation website circa. the 21st Century A.D., the “World Teacher” [the Jagad Guru, aka the ‘Great Teacher’] Maitreya it is said “has been expected for generations by all the major religions…Although the names differ, many believe that they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher (the false prophet Azazel), whose personal name is Maitreya.” Such a teaching is known as ‘Monism’ and is an underlying tenet of Universalism, particularly as it refers to ‘progressive revelation,’ a central tenet of the Bahá'í faith. The central tenet of Monism is reincarnation)

All theosophists, whether German, English, or otherwise, were all striving toward the completion of the very same goal, to prepare for the coming of the Great Teacher Maitreya who is the False Prophet Azazel whom they will hold to be the coming conquering Messiah, etc., in order to gain acceptance by all religions for Azazel’s reign upon the Earth through the establishment of a New World Order! This is the ultimate goal of the greater Theosophical Movement. In order to further understand the prophecies concerning the beast with the mortal wound that was healed of the Biblical book of Revelation, we must first consider Daniel’s prophecies concerning the United Nations. The book of Daniel describes four beasts, each of which are different from one another. The following Biblical reference to a lion with eagles’ wings being plucked off is a 319

pictographic prophecy referring to the American colonies gaining their independence from England. This is the rebellion described in 2Thessalonians above. England is represented by the lion and the eagles’ wings are a representation of the United States. The lion standing on two feet (the Lion Rampant, a symbol of Azazel) is depicted on the English coat of arms, more specifically that of Wales, and symbolizes the English monarchy: “Daniel said, ‘I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. And four beasts came out of the sea, different from one another. The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then as I looked, its wings were plucked off, and it (the lion) was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man (as a Lion Rampant, the symbol of Britain),’ …” - Daniel 7:2-3,4

Daniel then goes on to describe Russia: “And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear.” - Daniel 7:5 The beast like a leopard, the third beast, is a reconstitution of the old Roman Empire, that is, the countries it once incorporated, which is for the most part today’s European Union. This beast also includes the Middle East and North Africa (in the form of the Union for the Mediterranean), lands conquered by the legions of the Caesars. The four wings of a bird on its back symbolize the sign of the Euro, the European Union’s monetary unit: “After this I looked, and lo, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back…” - Daniel 7:6 The following scripture found in the book of Hosea is a reference to the very selfsame beasts just described in Daniel 7:2-6 and prophesies the invasion of Israel by a U.N. force during a seven-year covenant (of 2009-2016 A.D.), the covenant mentioned in Isaiah 28:15 (this may be a secret treaty such as that secretly signed during World War II which carved up the lands of Germany amongst the victors. Much these days is done in secret): “…they (Israel) forgot me (God). So I will be to them like a lion, like a leopard I will lurk beside the way, I will fall upon her like a bear 320

robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rend them.” - Hosea 13:6,78 (See also Lamentations 3:10-11)

“A bear robbed of her cubs” prophesies Russia in the period following the collapse of the Soviet Union. At that time Russia lost its empire. She is indeed a bear robbed of her cubs. The Russian bear lost its cub-like satellite states at the end of the Cold War. It must be noted the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1989 A.D. paved the way for America’s war with Iraq in 1991 A.D. (Authors Note: the modern state of Iraq incorporates the area where Azazel lies entrapped beneath the earth). For the lion with plucked off wings (the British/American beast), World War II begins with the British declaration of war against Germany in 1939 A.D. and formally ends with America’s official termination of the war by President Truman in 1946 A.D., a period spanning seven numerical years (1946-1939=7). These dates are very important. Seventy years after 1939 A.D. brings us to 2009 A.D., the beginning of the infamous seven-year covenant with death (a secret treaty) as related in Isaiah 28:15. Seventy years after 1946 A.D. is 2016 A.D., the year of the advent of the Second Coming of Christ (as well as the year of Azazel’s release). The lion with plucked off wings (Britain and offshoot America), the bear (Russia) and the leopard (the lands constituting the old Roman Empire, including modern day Europe (the EU), the Middle East and North Africa (The Union for the Mediterranean) are combined into a fourth hated beast, the United Nations (The Union for the Mediterranean was launched with what can only be described as extremely little fanfare of an almost secretive nature on July 13/14 2008 A.D.). The United Nations is an abomination in the sight of God and the requisite seventy years is ordained till its destruction. On January 10, 1946 the U.N. held its first session of the United Nations General Assembly including representatives from 51 nations representing 4/5 of the world’s population. The fourth beast of Daniel began its reign (“…and the beast (the U.N.) had four heads; and dominion was given to it.” - Daniel 7:6) While the U.N. beast was incepted in 1945 A.D., dominion, as prophesied in Daniel 7:6, was not given it until 1946 A.D. It must be mentioned the so-called Quartet on the Middle East devoted to the mediation of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process at this 321

present time includes America, Russia, the European Union (including Great Britain) and last but not least in Biblical significance the United Nations, an organization of which these Biblical beasts are themselves part and parcel. These nations play prominent roles in Biblical endtime prophecies. Some, such as the Theosophists of the Theosophical Sociey, portray Azazel as being the Ascended Master (World Teacher) ‘Maitreya.’ The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is the magicpracticing inner circle of the greater Theosophical Society, itself an international association. Aleister Crowley, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, invoked the rebellious fallen angel Azazel under the guise of Choronzon (also known as Khoronzon, the [Ascended] Master of Form in the Enochian Magic system of Dr. John Dee), the Angel of the Abyss and alternatively as Ra-Hoor-Khuit. One of Aleister Crowley’s professed goals (and hence of all practitioners of Magick) is the “establishment of the Kingdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit (read: Azazel) upon the earth” (See De Arte Magica). This was one of the goals of what was known as The Great Work. One must remember Theosophical Society founding member William Q. Judge’s revelation: “The Theosophical Society was founded in New York in 1875, with the avowed object of forming a nucleus for a Universal Brotherhood, and its founders state that they believe the Indian Mahatmas (read: the rebellious fallen angels) directed them to establish such a society.” Echoes from the Orient Chapter I (William Q. Judge, 1890 A.D.)

It must be noted the Theosophical Society was founded by a group which included magic-practicing high-degree Freemasons. The Theosophical Society was at its establishment the latest incarnation in a long string of movements (which began with the placement of the cornerstone, of the very first brick in the masonary construct which was the legendary Tower of Babel in year 1 A.L. on the Masonic Calendar in 4000 B.C.) and which was established through the direct actions of the rebellious fallen angels as part of a larger movement known as the Theosophical Movement for the express purpose of reestablishing the now-interred rebellious fallen angel Azazel’s reign upon our Earth. This is a mystery most profound! The angels work through secretive societies within a corporate structure to make humans do their will, by most, unknowingly: 322

“The Rosicrucian fraternity, the Freemasons, (the Ancient Order of) Foresters, are all remnants of former endeavours to inculcate and implant the Wisdom-Religion (Theosophy) in the hearts of men.” Modern Theosophy: An Outline of Its Principles by Claude Falls Wright, FTS, 1894 A.D.

In The Lost Keys of Freemasonry (1923 A,D,) Manly P. Hall states Freemasons “must realize that the ancient mystic (Author’s note: the word ‘mystic’ is synonymous with ‘magic’) teachings as perpetuated in the modern (Freemasonic) rites (constituting magic rituals) are sacred (being based on ancient religious systems), and that powers (read: angels) unseen and unrecognized (Hall refers to Ephesians 6:12) mold the destiny of those who consciously and of their own free will take upon themselves the obligations of the Fraternity (of Freemasonry).” Satan is ‘the Spirit of Freemasonry’ who influences the lives of such Freemasonic men through his use of the spirit of error. The Freemasonic order is wrongly regarded as a secular organization, and skirts the Constitution’s injunction mandating a separation of church and state: “Although today Masons do not call their Craft a religion, it has nevertheless a religious origin” – The Hidden Life in Freemasonry by C.W. Leadbeater. As Albert Pike writes in the Legenda: “Masonry has and always had a religious creed.” Pike also informs us: “Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion.” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike (circa. 1871 A.D.). And again: “Masonry is the Universal Religion…as it embraces all religions.” p.47 Mystic Masonry by 33° Freemason J.D. Buck

L. Fouquet in Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry Part II (1898 A.D.) identifies Albert Pike as being the “King and Pope of the Freemasons.” As he explains: “We have enough of Masonic quotations to form a pretty fair idea of Charleston (South Carolina) and its Pope (who is Albert Pike) aping Rome and the (Roman Catholic) Pope…Rome is the Mother Church of all other churches (dioceses); likewise Charleston is the Mother of all (Freemasonic) Supreme Councils. The Bishop of the Mother Church of Rome has the primacy over all the other churches (dioceses), over their bishops and their diocesans; likewise the Grand Commander of the Mother Supreme Council of Charleston has the primacy over all the other Supreme Councils, their subordinate lodges, and their members…Likewise there were Pikeans (those who supported Albert 323

Pike) who believed in the primacy of the Grand Commander of the Mother Supreme Council, of Charleston, and were in alliance and submission to the uncrowned King and the untiared Pope (who was Albert Pike), as were the future King of Great Britain and future Emperor of India (Edward VII, Prince of Wales), with many British peers.” He goes on to note: “The late Albert Pike, of Charleston, as an able Mason, was undoubtedly a Masonic pope, who kept in leading strings all the Supreme Grand Councils of the world, including the (Freemasonic) Supreme Grand Councils of England, Ireland and Scotland, the first of which (Supreme Grand Council of England) includes the Prince of Wales (the Prince of Wales, first in line to the succession of the crown, has traditionally under the Order of the Garter [organized as the Knights of the Garter] been head of a witch’s coven since 1348 A.D. [See Appendix A]), Lord Lathom (Charles Latham, 1st Baron Latham, a British politician who helped to form the British Labour Party) and other peers, who were in alliance with him and in actual submission.” He concludes: “Does not the Vicar of Satan in the secret society (of Freemasons) in which is offered, since the Middle Ages, the Black Mass, deserve the title of 'Satanic Pope'?” Occult historian Francis King in The Rebirth of Witchcraft p.160 quotes an obscure Freemasonic book entitled The Devil in the 19th Century (1893 A.D.) which professes Pike’s Morals and Dogma to be a product of automatic-writing dictated to Albert Pike by the fallen angel Satan himself (Of the Freemasons, the Roman Catholic Pope Pius VIII once wrote: “Lying is their rule, Satan is their God, and shameful deeds their sacrifice.” - Traditae Humilitati Nostrae, Pope Pius VIII, 1829 A.D.) (“That which we [Freemasons] must say to a crowd is - We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition. To you, [33°] Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st, and 30th degrees - The Masonic Religion should be, by all of us initates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian Doctrine. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and his priests, calumniate him? Yes, Lucifer [Satan] is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also god. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods [a Gnostic concept known as Dualism]: darkness being necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in Lucifer [Satan], the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer [Satan], God of Light [See 2Corinthians 11:14] and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.” - Albert Pike, 33° Freemason: Instructions to the 23 Supreme Councils of the World, July 14, 1889.

Theosophist author Claude Falls Wright speaks of the greater Theosophical Movement circa 1894 A.D.: “…all great philosophers and thinkers who have offered any explanation of life, the founders of every great religion, have been Theosophists, and, we affirm, have all taught, consciously or unconsciously to themselves, some aspect or other of the vast system which has been so roughly outlined in this volume. Christian writers ascribe the development of the ancient Eclectic Theosophical System to the third century of their era (the Greek Alexandrian philosopher Ammonius Saccas and his disciples developed what is called the Eclectic Theosophical System, one of the very underpinnings of Neoplatonism, a union of Egyptian and Greek philosophies. Alexandria was a city in Egypt where comingled Egyptian, Chaldean, Judean and Greek cultures resulting in the creation of a syncretic religious system. It was there in Alexandria where Gnosticism thrived); but there were Theosophists before that time. Diogenes Laertius speaks of the philosophy as antedating the (Grecian) dynasty of the Ptolemies (in Egypt), disclosing its founder in the Egyptian Hierophant, Pot Amun - a Coptic name (Copts are a magic-practicing group composed of Egyptian Christian Cabalists), signifying a priest consecrated to Amun, the god of wisdom (who is Azazel). History shows its revival in the Eclectic (Theosophical) System of Ammonius Saccas, in whose time certainly the word Theosophy originated (“If we examine the writings of the Alexandrian Neoplatonists, whose important School was founded, in the early part of the third century, upon doctrines derived from the ancient sages of the East, we discover that they were pronounced Spiritualists, or, perhaps we should say, Theosophists. Ammonius Sacchas, Plotinus, Iamblicus, and others, were powerful adepts famed for their mesmeric healings, and general magic… The Egyptian priests, the Babylonian and Jewish sorcerers, had practised all this as a trade for ages, and reduced it to an art.” Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember, 1889 A.D.). The object of this philosopher was almost identical with our own—to reconcile all sects, peoples and nations under one common faith, and to establish a belief in one Supreme, Eternal, Unknown and Unnamed Power or Principle, through which the Universe came into being, and by which it was governed with immutable and eternal laws. Again, we find Theosophists in Germany in the 12th century, holding identical views of life and working to the same end, and also in the 15th century (he 325

here speaks of the Rosicrucians). There was a society formed in London in or about the year 1665, which strove after a like purpose (a reference to the Royal Society of London, originally comprised of a group of scientists known as the Invisible College, one of whose members was Ireland-born Sir Hans Sloane, whose collection of manuscripts upon his death became the foundation of the British Museum, his collection including many mediaeval magic manuscripts and whose collection constituted this wealthy ceremonial magician’s very own personal library. Sir Hans Sloane it would seem was attempting to corner the market on unique extant magic grimoires employed by various infamous lone Medieval magicians all amassed into one major collection—the ultimate magic library! It was this ceremonial magician’s grand magic library around which the walls of the British Museum was built. The Invisible College and later the Royal Society were themselves outgrowths of the Hartlib Circle (which included Robert Boyle and William Petty. Might one venture to call it a ‘magic circle’?) of the Francis Baconinspired German polymath Samuel Hartlib (Samuel Hartlib was a friend of John Milton, author of Paradise Lost, education reformer John Amos Comenius [a member of the Bohemian Brethren], and of the Rosicrucian alchemist Thomas Vaughan, twin brother of Welsh lyrical poet/physician Henry Vaughan ). Hartlib had unsuccessfully sought public funding for the research institute envisioned in Francis Bacon’s book New Atlantis. Concerning the privately funded Invisible College: “The Invisible College was a precursor to the Royal Society of the United Kingdom (which currently does enjoy public funding). It consisted of a group of natural philosophers (scientists) including Robert Boyle (Robert Boyle was an alchemist/chemist and the purported Rosicrucian Grand Master of the Priory of Sion. It was the Priory of Sion, founded by Crusaders on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, which had originally given birth to the Knights Templar organization [See p.75 Behold a Pale Horse] in the 11th Century A.D. The Knights Templar group is the military arm of the Priory of Sion), John Wilkins (author of a book entitled Mathematical Magic, Wilkins was a friend of Francis Bacon and brother-in-law to Sir Oliver Cromwell. John Wilkins was later to become a Fellow of the Royal Society and served as head of both the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge), John Wallis, John Evelyn, Robert Hooke (a later Fellow of the Royal Society), Christopher Wren (Freemason; builder of St. Paul’s Cathedral located 326

in the City of London; Fellow of the Royal Society) and William Petty. In letters in 1646 and 1647, Boyle refers to “our invisible college” or “our philosophical college.” The society’s common theme was to acquire knowledge through experimental investigation… The idea of an invisible college became influential in seventeenth century Europe, in particular, in the form of a network of savants or intellectuals exchanging ideas… The invisible college idea is exemplified by the network of astronomers, professors, mathematicians, and natural philosophers in 16th century Europe (all practitioners of magic to some degree). Men such as Johannes Kepler, Georg Joachim Rheticus, John Dee and Tycho Brahe passed information and ideas to each other in an invisible college.” – Wikipedia. Included in this shared information was the subject of ceremonial magic. Due to persecutions by the Roman Catholic Church, these men devised such secret institutions for instruction and development of a wide range of magical practices and the knowledge to be garnered from archaic magical writings). All these, not to speak of the host of seers (the so-called Christian mystics) who have appeared from time to time, of the (Emanuel) Swedenborg and (Jacob) Boehme type, whose explanation of nature differed but in minor detail from that offered by the modern Theosophists. Theosophy is the Wisdom-Religion (magic),** the archaic philosophy which was the fount of knowledge in every ancient country having claims to civilization, and from which have descended in less mystic garb the sciences of the present day known to the professors of our colleges as Chemistry, Astronomy, etcs, however much said professors may object to the statement. But whether known as Theosophy or by any other name, the same Wisdom-Religion has existed always and will show itself on earth and among men for all eternity: the sequence of martyrs to the great universal truths has never once been broken; known or unknown they will appear and suffer again and again, ever adding to their ranks however, until some day, at the birth of the purified seventh race, mankind will reawaken to find the chair of materialistic philosophy vacant and decayed. It was said in another part of this work that about once every hundred years special efforts to regenerate mankind are made by those in whose guardianship is the philosophy, and a retrospective glance would show where many of these have been undertaken and under whose management. But to trace them all completely would now be a difficult task, for the simple reason that all have not been made in the shape of public movements (but rather, of 327

secret societies lurking in the shadows). They have been in a manner suitable to the exigencies of the times. It is only in our cycle that an open attempt has been made, and this for the reason that the age demands it. Formerly work was often done through kings and rulers, instead of through public movements, because people had then less independence and the king held more the position of dictator than he does in this age. We constantly hear of wise men, alchemists, soothsayers, appearing at various courts and working marvels sufficient to attract the attention and wonder of the monarch. These, however, were but their outward signs; in truth they worked to other ends than miracles. They often influenced the prince’s mind (through their use of ELF waves), so that he altered his method of ruling his kingdom, thereby perhaps bringing about results which not only affected his own subjects, but, by reaction, the peoples of other countries, and afterwards the world as a whole (“The names of Kadosch and prince were given to the great initiates of the Kabbalah, and are preserved amongst adepts of occult Masonry [as Knight Kadosh] and the Rose-Cross.” – p.304 The Mysteries of Magic). But although it is for these reasons hard to trace the uprising of all such efforts, yet with some we have no difficulty. Toward the end of the 14th century we may place the founding of the later Rosicrucian fraternity (“do you imagine that there were no mystic solemn unions of men, seeking the same end through the same means, before the Arabians of Damus, in 1378, taught to a wandering Jew the secrets which founded the institution of the Rosicrucians?" Bulwer Lytton in Zanoni), one of the brightest and most successful of bodies of philosophers, although a secret one. The labours of (Christian mystic) Jacob Boehme and of his teacher, John George Gichtel, had their effect at the close of the 17th century. (In 1672, when Louis XIV, laid siege, to Amsterdam, Gichtel, by the power of his will, is reported by his disciples to have exercised influence enough to cause the raising of the siege, and afterwards the names of the very regiments and squadrons he had seen in his vision were found in the papers. Princes of Germany and even sovereigns consulted him."). The one however which comes nearest to our own time is that which directly preceded the Theosophical Society, at the close of the 18th century of the Christian era. This was the famous "Société de l'Harmonie" (the "Order of Universal Harmony") founded by (Anton) Mesmer (an Illuminus Freemason/Martinist who co-founded the lodge with Cagliostro) in Paris in 1783. The success of these efforts is not, it should be 328

remembered, any more absolutely certain than is anything else in nature. The Adepts (rebellious fallen angels) are not infallible. Their extended insight into the workings of natural law enables them to place the cause farther back, the effect further forward, than our more limited vision permits us to. But this is all they claim. The mistakes of one century are corrected in the efforts of the next, so that in course of time they may lessen enormously with respect, at least, to that race whose development is being forwarded; but so long as there is a limitation of vision, finity—and work on the material plane of necessity implies such, there must be error. The effort of last century was a failure because of the too socialistic aspect of the mystical doctrine put forward. There was a definite teaching albeit a secret one—similar to Theosophy as now known, given to the members of (Anton) Mesmer’s society. But the true philosophy did not come to the front. “Fraternité, Liberté, Egalité” constituted the only philosophy the people of the period would listen to. Hence the Reign of Terror of 1794 (in France during the French Revolution). Even such as Count St.Germain and the wonder-working Cagliostro (June 2, 1743 – August 26, 1795; Alessandro Cagliostro was an Italian/Sicilian magicpracticing Freemason. Pope Pius VI accused him of threatening the very survival of the Catholic Church [See The Seven Ordeals of Count Cagliostro: The Greatest Enchanter of the Eighteenth Century by Iain McCalman, 2003 A.D. Cagliostro would be imprisoned by the Inquisition in 1789 A.D., dieing in prison in 1795 A.D.]. From Sicily emerged the secret brotherhood known as Cosa Nostra, the Sicilian mafia, which emerged during the mid 19th Century), the successor of Mesmer (May 23, 1734 – March 5, 1815. Mesmer was the father of hypnosis and master of the trance. To him we owe thanks for the word ‘mesmerize’), could not stay the torrent of materialism; they were laughed at, and accounted charlatans and falsifiers (by, amongst others as in Mesmer’s case, curiously enough, Benjamin Franklin acting under the auspices of the Royal Society). In her "Theosophical Glossary" (article Mesmer) Madame Blavatsky (circa 1892 A.D.) says: "Of these three men (St Germain, Mesmer, Cagliostro) who were at first regarded as quacks, Mesmer is already vindicated. The justification of the two others will follow in the next century (1892)…Of course each movement makes use as far as possible of the work of its predecessors; so that, for instance, the "revival of Freemasonry" has become almost a byword, nobody being able to tell exactly when or where the craft had its origin or founding 329

(Freemasonry, like witchcraft, is known as ‘the craft,’ as both orders are known to delve in witchcraft and magic). The same thing may be said of Rosicrucianism, and indeed of Theosophy itself. It is therefore not surprising, in view of the fact that Cagliostro and others worked to reestablish lodges of Freemasonry, to find H.P.Blavatsky, the nineteenth century messenger, offering herself at the outset of her career as the new leader of the Freemasons. This she did before 1875 to some of the heads of the craft (to the heads of the Freemasons) in America, naming herself as the messenger from the eastern Brotherhood (rejected, she would go on to create the Theosophical Society). It was but the Karma of Freemasonry, which was the movement that had been carried over from the last century to the present one. But even if the Freemasons had wished to accept her as their head, they could not have done so, since the traditions of that Fraternity militate against the admission of women. This was probably a later introduction than the days of Cagliostro, who is said to have organized more than one "lodge" composed entirely of women. Madame Blavatsky’s services being declined, she set to work to form the nucleus of a new body. Gathering together some of those on earth who had previously worked with her, she started the Theosophical Society, with Col. H.S. Olcott, William Q. Judge and others…The Theosophical Society, as at present constituted, has three objects (the second of which is intended “To promote the study of Aryan and other Eastern literatures, religions and sciences”), which three, if properly carried out and fully understood, must result in the recognition of the mystical (read: the magic) system known as Theosophy (Wright also refers to it as “the mystical system known as Theosophy”). Thus the (Thesosophical) Society is bound by no beliefs, no dogmas, throws its doors wide open to all, and has only endeavour, that of uniting all sects and peoples into one harmonious whole (whose goal was the creation of a one world religion based on Spiritualism)—producing a humanity of philo-sophers, or true lovers of wisdom…Then, religionists and mystics at heart, whether subscribing to a creed or not, let them study under the Second Object (defined as “the study of Aryan and other Eastern literatures, religions and sciences”), and they will find that humanity has ever placed its hopes elsewhere than on this globe. They will find that from the dawn of the Aryan race down to the present time mystics and sages have always walked the earth and taught the peoples the one truth, Universal Brotherhood—the one doctrine, Theosophy. No wonder then they are Theosophists. For once the 330

keynote has been struck, once the Wisdom-Religion (Theosophy) is shown to have existed ever, in all creeds, it takes very little to convince anyone with higher perceptions than those which look on clay, of its verity…It seeks to reveal the true origin of our various religions, and to show that the same mysticism (of the Magi) which inspired the founding of Christianity (seemingly a reference to Francis Barret who remarks in the Preface to The Magus in 1801 A.D.: “Magic is wisdom, and on this account the wise men were called Magi. The magicians were the first Christians…”) sowed the seed for the growth of all the creeds of the world…External differences are due merely to incidental causes, diversity in the methods of giving their wisdom among individual teachers, natural modifications and changes of the original philosophy after lapse of time, or the varied interpretations of it by the priests into whose keeping it was entrusted. Theosophy therefore in this sense is the Religion of religions. But Theosophy is distinctly a science. It is religion with a philosophical basis…In Theosophy therefore science blends with religion. Religion, according to that theosophical view, being but a clearer perception of, a deeper insight into life, by man, freed from superstition and emotion and grounded in true philosophy, it must lead to wisdom…If the insight it gives be added to the practical and intellectual powers of our modern scientist we can set no limit to his advance in knowledge…The truth is that each of the world’s great religions is but the remnant of an ancient science…it is the hope…that by the light of Theosophy the old wisdom (first introduced to mankind by the fallen angels) may be restored.” - Modern Theosophy: An Outline of Its Principles by Claude Falls Wright, FTS, 1894 A.D. (** “This Wisdom Religion has been, and is today, the inheritance of the saints, prophets, and seers, and of the illuminated ones of all nations, no matter to what external system of religion they may have given their adherence. It was taught by the ancient Brahmins, Egyptians, and Jews in temples and caves, Gautama Buddha and Jesus of Nazareth preached it, it formed the basis of the Eleusinian and Bacchic mysteries of the Greeks, and the true religion of the eternal Christ is resting upon it. It is the religion of Humanity [Humanism]...” - Magic, White and Black by Franz Hartmann, 1886 A.D.) (Both magic and Freemasonry are known as the ‘Craft’ as both orders are known to delve in magic. This practice hearkens back to the days of the mystery religions and their guild-like, quasi-Freemasonic degree structured ceremonial magic groups. Indeed, for this very reason the archaic definition of the word ‘mystery’ is craft/trade, ‘a body of persons engaged in a particular trade, business, or profession’ (See: merriamwebster.com/dictionary/mystery). Both Freemasonry and witchcraft typically utilize the degree system as well—Wicca witchcraft, like its kin, Blue Lodge Masonry, is divided into three degrees. Freemasonic degrees are also akin to military/police ranks. In fact, in America, the police are organized as a ‘Fraternal Order,’ a Brotherhood [F.O.P.]) (Pertinent Quote: “During the last few years another strange phase of thought has appeared in the wake of Spiritualism…boldly avowing its Pagan origin. We allude to Theosophy, now so common a 331

subject of conversation, and which, in various forms, is ever presenting itself in the periodic and other literature of the day… we understand it to be the revival of a philosophy communicated by the Nephilim [read: by the angel/human hybrid offspring of the rebellious fallen angels]…an emanation from those Powers of the Air [those angels] which effected the ruin of our first parents [Adam and Eve].” - Earth’s Earliest Ages by G.H. Pember, 1889 A.D.)

The Theosophical Society was formed in part by magic practicing Freemasons. Such magic practices as performed by highdegree Freemasons involve the invocation of fallen angels, including the angels Satan and Azazel. As we learn from the Theosophical Society member, Freemasonic ceremonial magician and occult author A.E. Waite in Chapter XV of Devil-Worship in France (1896 A.D.) concerning this association of magic with Freemasonry (he being in a bit of a bragging mood due to the success of their ongoing endeavors): “When the history of Freemasonry becomes possible by the possession of materials, its chief philosophical interest centres in one country of Europe; there is no doubt that it (Freemasonry) exercised an immense influence upon France during that century (the 18th Century) of quakings and quickenings which gave birth to the great revolution (the French Revolution), transformed civilisation in the West, and inaugurated the modern era (one of the Freemasonic lodges responsible for launching the French Revolution was the Lodge of the Nine Muses. According to the Gale Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology concerning Royal Society Fellow Benjamin Franklin’s own association with this lodge: “Franklin associated with Rosicrucians and became a Freemason in February 1730, a member of the Lodge of the Nine Muses (named in honor of The Nine [Ennead] pantheon of Egyptian gods [fallen angels]), which was said to have influenced the French Revolution.” Grand Orient Freemasons were also important collaborators). Without being a political society, it was an instrument eminently adaptable to the sub-surface determination of political movements. At a later date it (Freemasonry) may have contributed to the formation of Germany, as it did certainly to the creation of Italy, but the point and centre of Masonic history is France in the eighteenth century. To that country also is mainly confined the historical connection between Masonry and mystic science, for the revival of Mysticism which originated in Germany at the close of the eighteenth century, and thence passed over to England, found its final field in France at the period in question (“From thence at a later period 332

it returned to England through the exertion and zealous propagandism of [A.E.] Waite and his friends and through the work of A. Pike [Albert Pike], Woodford [Field Marshal Sir Alexander George Woodford, senior British Army officer and colonial administrator] and their confreres and comperes, both in the British Empire and in the United States…” - Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry by L. Fouquet, 1898 A.D.). There (in France) Rosicrucianism reappeared, there Anton Mesmer recovered the initial process of transcendental practice, there the Marquis de Puységur discovered clairvoyance (“…the greatest of all the gifts that clairvoyance brings is the direct knowledge of the existence of the great White Brotherhood [composed of Azazel’s group of rebel angels], the certainty that mankind is not without Guides and Leaders, but that there live and move on earth Those who, while They are men [read: incarnate angels] even as we are, have yet become as Gods in knowledge and power and love, and so encourage us by Their example and Their help to tread the Path which They have trodden…” - Difficulties in Clairvoyance [Adyar Pamphlets No. 100] by C. W. Leadbeater), there Martines de Pasqually instructed his disciples in the mysteries of ceremonial magic (“Jacques de Livron Joachim de la Tour de la Casa Martinez de Pasqually (1727? - 1774) was a theurgist [by definition a ceremonial magician] and theosophist of uncertain origin. He was the founder of the l'Ordre de Chevaliers Maçons Élus Coëns de l'Univers - Commonly referred to as the 'Elus Cohens' in 1761. He was the tutor, initiator and friend of [the French military officer] Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin and Jean-Baptiste Willermoz, and therefore regarded as the originator of martinism [French Illuminist Freemasonry].” – Wikipedia: Martinez de Pasqually); there the illustrious (Louis-Claude de) Saint-Martin, le philosophe inconnu (which translates as ‘The Unknown Philosopher’), developed a special system of spiritual reconstruction (Pasqually was a friend of LouisClaude de Saint-Martin, and both Pasqually and Saint-Martin have military backgrounds which is historically true of many ceremonial magicians. The shape of the Pentagon military complex being based upon the shape of the Pentagram [a five-pointed star often associated with Azazel and Satan] is a testament to this historic occult association with military forces. One must bear in mind that Azazel is the god of magic as well as the god of war); there alchemy flourished; there spiritual and political princes betook themselves to extravagant researches after an elixir of life; there also, as a consequence, rose up a line of magnificent impostors (by definition ‘charlatons’) who posed 333

as initiates of the occult sciences, as possessors of the grand secret (also known as the ‘great secret.’ Gardner uses this term: “the Great Secret of what they call magic” [See Witchcraft Today]. The use of this term originates with Henry Cornelius Agrippa [if not in fact prior]: “Philosophers travelled far by sea to learn this Art [magic]; and being returned, published it with wonderful devoutness, esteeming of it as a great secret.” - The Philosophy of Natural Magic Chapter II. The word grand is a synonym of great) and the grand mastery (the head of a witch’s coven [as well as the head of a constituted Freemasonic body] is known as a ‘grand master’); there, finally, under the influences of transcendental philosophy, emblematic Freemasonry took root and grew and flourished, developing ten thousand splendours of symbolic grades, of romantic legends, of sonorous names and titles. In a word, the Mysticism of Europe concentrated its forces at Paris and Lyons (As noted in The Secret World Government p.74: “Paris, Lyons and Avignon were nests of Free-Masonry.”), and all French Mysticism gathered under the shadow of the square and compass (of Freemasonry). To that, as to a centre, the whole movement gravitated (true also of the Harvard-educated Gertrude Stein’s later Parisian group of Theosophists as the reader will discover), and thence it worked…The Fraternity (Freemasonry) naturally attracted all Mystics (practitioners of magic/invokers of fallen angels) to its ranks, and the development of the mystic degrees took place as the result of that attraction. By the year 1825 a variety of circumstances had combined to suspend transcendental activity, and the connection with Masonry ended (not true—if anything it had gone underground), but the present revival of mystic thought is rapidly picking up the links of the broken chain; secretly or unobtrusively the spirit of transcendentalism (Transcendentalism, rooted in the transcendental philosophy of Spiritist Immanuel Kant, is the doctrine of the Unitarian church as taught at Harvard Divinity School, it being the defining concept in Spiritualism/Spiritual mediumship) is working within the Fraternity (of Freemasonry, particularly through the efforts of the Harvardeducated Freemasonic Grand Master Albert Pike), and the bogus question of Lucifer is simply a hostile and unscrupulous method of recognising that fact. If Masonry and Mysticism could be shown in the historical world to be separated by the great sea, the consanguinity of their intention would remain, which is more important than external affinity, and they are sisters by that bond. But they have not been so separated, and on either side there is no need to be ashamed of the 334

connection. With all brethren of the Fraternity (of Freemasonry), "we also do believe in the resurrection of Hiram" (an analogy for the release of the fallen angel Azazel from his earthen imprisonment), and we regard the Temple as "an edifice immediately realisable, for we rebuild it in our hearts." We also adore the Grand Architect (aka the Great Architect of the Universe, the Egyptian god Ptah [See p.89 The Tree of Life: A Study in Magic by Israel Regardie which reads: “Ptah…is the Great Architect of the Universe”]. Ptah is Azazel), and offer our intellectual homage, to the divine cipher which is in the centre of the symbolic star (the Blazing Star Sirius [a symbol of Azazel. See Appendix A] in the form of an ‘Upright Pentagram’ which often adorns the walls of Freemasonic lodges); and we believe that some day the Mason will recognise the Mystic. He is the heir of the great names of antiquity, the philosophers and Hierarchs, and the spiritual kings of old; he is of the line of Orpheus (whose hymns it is said were recited during the Eleusinian Mysteries) and Hermes (Hermes Trismegestes. Hermes=Hiram), of the Essenes and the Magi (all of whom like Masons were known practitioners of magic). And all those illustrious systems (of magic) and all those splendid names with which Masonry has ever claimed kindred belong absolutely to the history of Mysticism (magic).” Author William Grimstad poses the question: “Practically everyone who has looked into the role of clandestine control groups behind the scenes of everyday political and social ‘reality’ eventually has arrived at the question: Is there some central authority above the diverse Trilateralists, Zionists, Freemasons, KGB/CIAs, central banks, multinational cartels, and other furtive power blocs at work shaping our world?” Likewise the French Freemason/metaphysician/Sufi Muslim-convert Renѐ Guѐnon in Theosophism, History of a Pseudo Religion (1921 A.D.) asks: “...might there not be, behind all these movements, something far more dangerous, which their leaders perhaps know nothing about, being themselves in turn the unconscious tools of a higher power?” In answer to both of these questions this author would unwaveringly and unequivocally answer: “Yes. It is the rebel alien fallen angels by whom they are being Overshadowed.” Since the Overshadowing process is affected by the broadcast of electromagnetic waves, my advice to you: build yourself a Farraday Cage. 335

“The strength of a democracy thus lies at the mercy of invisible leaders (in this case the rebellious fallen angels, the Inner Government of the world) who, being nationally irresponsible, cannot be called to account for the consequences of the acts of the governments they control. This at the same time constitutes the inherent weakness of any form of government, the apotheosis of which is the control of both parties in the state, right and left, radical and conservative (Republican and Democrat), by the same forces. Then, only the puppets change while the rule of the individuals (read: the fallen angels and their human agents) controlling the machine (think: machine politics) continues unhindered. Voters who wonder why their efforts have failed, wonder in vain. As the dupes of a controlled publicity their privilege of the vote is a farce.” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller. Sound familiar America/Chicago? (Lady Queenborough, Edith Starr Miller [July 16, 1887 - January 16, 1933] was a New York socialite born in Newport, Rhode Island who in 1921 A.D. married Almeric Hugh Paget, 1st Baron Queenborough, the British Conservative Party politician who was then residing in New York in America [who was once acquainted with Theodore Roosevelt] when after emigrating to the United States in 1881 A.D. he started a cattle ranch at Le Mars in Iowa).

Chapter 10. The Story Continued Theosophy, like Rosicrucianism before it, was predicated on magic practices, with magic itself originating from the terrific tales of the rebellious fallen angels, most importantly of which was these beings can actually be contacted (whether or not they respond may be an entirely different story), for it was taught one may actually converse with one’s personal guardian angel. Around these teachings religions grew, most revering these fallen angels as gods, these systems being predicated upon arcane magic practices: “Egypt had priests…Babylon had the Caldeans, Persia had magicians, India had Brachmans, Ethiopia had the Gymnosophists; amongst the Bactrians was Zamolsis, amongst the Corinthians was Fido, amongst the Nilesians was Hippodamus, amongst the Carthaginians was Charonda, lastly amongst the Britons and French the Druids.” - Laws of the Fraternity of the Rosy Cross (1656 A.D.) authored by Michel Maier, physician to the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, King of Bohemia (assembled in Rudolph II’s court were Protestant Reformers, alchemists, Paracelsian alchemist/physicians such as Michel Maier, astrologers [including Tycho Brahe who had served as Imperial Astrologer, later succeeded by Johannes Kepler], inventors and mystics of every stripe including amongst whose ranks was alchemist/physician Heinrich Khunrath [a disciple of Paracelsus] and Polish alchemist/physician Michael Sendivogius, both of whose associates included Dr. John Dee and his assistant Edward Kelly who were also known to have visited Rudolph II’s court [upon parting ways with Dee, Kelley would even become Rudolph’s own personal alchemist]). Practitioners of magic and invokers of fallen angels, all. Of such ilk were modern-day magicians including French occult author Eliphas Levi (b.February 8, 1810 – d.May 31, 1875), the American mystic Arthur Edward Waite (b.October 2, 1857 – d.May 19, 1942), and the English master ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley (b.October 12, 1875 – d.December 1, 1947), these individual literary authors representing the latest links in a long chivralic chain. Eliphas Levi himself was a traineedropout from the Roman Catholic priesthood, who finally left his seminary without ever being ordained. Per Wikipedia we learn: “In 1853, Lévi visited England, where he met the novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who was interested in Rosicrucianism as a literary theme and was the president of a minor Rosicrucian order. Levi’s first treatise on magic appeared in 1854 under the title Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, and was translated into English by Arthur Edward (A.E.) Waite as Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual.” This book had a profound impact upon Aleister Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order of which he was a member and also upon his very own magic orders, the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) and the Astrum Argentum (A.:A.:). Levi’s book influenced the writings of A.E. Waite, the “co-creator of the popular and widely used Rider-Waite Tarot deck”**: “Waite was a prolific author with many of his works being well received in academic circles. He wrote occult texts on subjects including divination, esotericism, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, and ceremonial magic, Kabbalism and alchemy; he also translated and reissued several important mystical and alchemical works. His works on the Holy Grail (a legend also built upon the story of Azazel and his group of rebellious angels), influenced by his friendship with Arthur Machen, were particularly notable. A number of his volumes remain in print, The Book of Ceremonial Magic (1911), The Holy Kabbalah (1929), A New Encyclopedia of 337

Freemasonry (1921), and his edited translation of Eliphas Levi's Transcendental Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual (1896) having seen reprints in recent years.” – Wikipedia: Arthur Edward Waite (**The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXIX equates fate/fortune with Osiris/Behemoth: “I am fate and Osiris.” Indeed, as we learn from Wikipedia, the word: “sorcery was taken in ca. 1300 from Old French sorcerie, which is from Vulgar Latin sortiarius, from sors “fate,” apparently meaning “one who influences fate.”” In Egypt, Azazel was also known as Tahuti, who was also known as Thoth, the god of magic, the determiner of fates, guider of destinies. The Tarot is alternatively known as The Book of Thoth. Azazel’s cherub is known as the Wheel of Fortune and can be found on the Tenth Major Arcana of the Egyptian Tarot/Book of Thoth. Notice the inclusion of the word ‘ahi’(‘ahi’ means ‘serpent’) in the spelling of the word Tahuti, as well as the ‘T,’ a tau cross, a symbol of Azazel. The word Tarot, as well as Thoth, who is Azazel, was derived from the Canaanite name for Sirius, Ashterot)

It is interesting to note the direct relationship between A.E. Waite and Arthur Machen both of whom were members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Ground zero of the ‘modern’ magic-based Theosophical Movement led by the rebellious fallen angels has long been Oxford University in the city of Oxford, England, with the British Museum in London playing a supporting role, an establishment in which was contained and where could be studied such ancient manuscripts as The Book of Enoch and many other such works which reveal the story of the rebellious fallen angels, many, many manuscripts on ceremonial magic rituals/practices amongst them. In fact, The Book of Enoch was made widely available in print form by Oxford University’s Clarendon Press in 1893 A.D. Included in Oxford Universities offerings was the collection called The Sacred Books of the East: “The Sacred Books of the East is a monumental 50-volume set of English translations of Asian religious writings, edited by Max Müller and published by the Oxford University Press between 1879 and 1910 (over half of which had been published by 1885 A.D.). It incorporates the essential sacred texts of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam.” - Wikipedia: Sacred Books of the East (The German academic “Friedrich Max Müller [December 6, 1823 – October 28, 1900], “Müller moved to England in 1846 in order to study Sanskrit texts in the collection of the East India Company (The British East India Company** [1600–1874 A.D.] was chartered by Queen Elizabeth I for trade with Asia [** “…the British East India Company finally subdued and controlled the entire subcontinent of India.” – Treason in America p.271])… Müller’s connections with the East India Company and with Sanskritists based at Oxford University led to a career in Britain, where he eventually became the leading intellectual commentator on the culture of India, which Britain controlled as part of its Empire. This led to complex exchanges between Indian and British intellectual culture, especially through Müller’s links with the Brahmo Samaj… he later became Oxford’s first Professor of Comparative Theology (1868 – 1875), at All Souls College.” – Wikipedia: Max Müller). (The Rosicrucian “adepts” Robert Flood [“the great 338

English Rosicrucian”] and Thomas Vaughn [“a scholar of Oxford…a Rosicrucian adept if there ever was one”] belonged to the University of Oxford, as did Hargrave Jennings, from whence come these quotes: “On this side of his powers, on this dark side of his character, the alchemist (rather now become the Rosicrucian) works in invisible light, and is a [ceremonial] magician” [See The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries p.204 by Hargrave Jennings]. Rosicrucians are by definition adepts in the art of ceremonial magic)

The Theosophical Society had/has many Oxford University connections. As a matter of fact: “(Colonel Henry Steel) Olcott had visited (Max) Müller in Oxford in 1888 and corresponded with him on many issues.” - Max Müller and H. P. Blavatsky — Comparative Religion in the 19th Century (Bas Rijken van Olst) from Sunrise magazine, June/July 2006; copyright © 2006 Theosophical University Press

At this point it is important to note: “Colonel Henry Steel Olcott (August 2, 1832 – February 17, 1907) was an American military officer, journalist, lawyer and the cofounder and first President of the Theosophical Society.” – Wikipedia: Henry Steel Olcott (Turn now to Appendix E)

The Theosophical Society primarily focuses its attention on the religious teachings of the East (keep in mind the Oxford University association with the creation of the Theosophical Society). Prior to being made available to the masses, such esoteric works concerning magic and the knowledge of fallen angels would have been been available to those who frequented the British Museum Reading Room (where was deposited the magic books collected by members of the Invisible College) located in London, England (the British Museum [complete with temple façade] is itself modeled upon the Egyptian Temple of the Muses [aka the Museaum, from whence is derived our word ‘museum’] which had originally housed the Library of Alexandria to which scholars had flocked from far and wide). As you read the following, note the Theosophical Society’s connection to the British Museum: “The British Museum Reading Room, situated in the centre of the Great Court of the British Museum, used to be the main reading room of the British Library. During the period of the British Library, access was restricted to registered researchers only (and not open to the general public)…The Reading Room was used by a large number of famous figures, including notably Mohammad Ali Jinnah (the founder of Pakistan, his wife was a Zoroastrian Parsi descended from the Magi), Karl Marx (33° Freemason, the Ashkenazi Jewish father of Marxism, from whence doctrine Communism is derived; 339

besides having a British Museum connection, Marx also connects to Annie Besant through Edward Aveling, a friend of both Annie Besant and of Karl Marx’s daughter, Eleanor), Oscar Wilde (likely a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the magic-practicing inner circle of the Theosophical Society. His wife Constance was known to have joined the order in 1888 A.D. Oscar Wilde’s mother, Lady Jane Wilde, wrote broadsides calling for armed revolution in Ireland for a Youth Movement newspaper called The Nation for the Young Ireland movement under the pen name Speranza during the 1840s. Lady Jane Wilde would later author a book entitled Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms and Superstitions of Ireland which bears a publishing date of 1887 A.D.), Bram Stoker (author of Dracula, member of the Theosophical Society as well as of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; Bram Stoker was an associate of Oscar Wilde and was a distant relative of renowned Spiritualist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), Mahatma Gandhi (University of London graduate, Indian independence leader/Sufi mystic. Gandhi edited a Youth Movement newspaper called Young India, no doubt he was a major player in the Masonic Young India youth movement), Rudyard Kipling (poet/author), George Orwell (Nineteen Eighty-Four author/Fabian Society-member), George Bernard Shaw (Theosophical Society-member/author, founder of the London School of Economics), (Russian Revolutionary/Bolshevik leader, Vladimir) Lenin, Norbert Elias (a leading academic within the German-Jewish Youth Movement who was a Senior Research Assistant with the London School of Economics founded by Theosophical Society member George Bernard Shaw), (English writer and publisher) Virginia Woolf, (French poet) Arthur Rimbaud and H. G. Wells (33° Freemasonic author of War of the Worlds depicting an alien invasion of our Earth. H.G. Wells also penned a book entitled The Open Conspiracy espousing a Utopian “global commonweal.” Wells served as director of British Foreign Intelligence during World War I)…Room 2 has also had distinguished users, including Thomas Babington Macaulay (1st Baron Macaulay, British Whig party government minister [Secretary of War], poet, historian and prominent British Abolitionist), William Thackeray (secretary to the board of revenue in the British East India Company), Robert Browning (poet), (majordomo) Giuseppe Mazzini (Youth Movement leader), Charles Darwin (evolutionary proponent and author of On the Origin of Species. Charles Darwin was a friend and confidante of the Rev. John Brodie-Innes, father of Dr. J.W. 340

Brodie-Innes, a leading member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s Amen-Ra Temple in Edinburgh, Scotland) and Charles Dickens (author of the famous Christmas ghost story entitled A Christmas Carol and early member of The Ghost Club of London specializing in the study of paranormal activities. The Ghost Club is still in existence today. Charles Dickens himself ties to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Co.).” – Wikipedia: British Museum Reading Room (English occult author, poet and one-time Chief of the Ancient Order of Druids in England Gerald Massey also studied extensively at the British Museum. Massey wrote for and submitted articles which appeared in the Theosophical Society’s Lucifer Magazine. In Gnostic and Historic Christianity Gerald Massey admits to being a “Spiritualist,” one who converses with Otherworldly beings. Other famous occult figures who studied extensively at the British Museum include American ceremonial magician A.E. Waite, 33° Freemason/Theosophical Society-member Manly P. Hall and Wiccan witch Gerald B. Gardner, all Spiritualists by definition and Illuminati by inclination) (Another Cambridge University Ghost Club member of note is British Intelligence agent and RAF Wing Commander Dennis Wheatley, “an expert on black magic and Satanism” who reportedly “shared a lunch” with British spy Aleister Crowley [at which “lunch” was present Montague Summers (also a known British Intelligence agent); see p.31 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley, 1999 A.D. Such meetings serve as opportunities by Intelligence agents to exchange orders and other classified information. Note the British Intelligence association with the Ghost Club, and in particular the Western Intelligence world’s association with the study of paranormal phenomenon which would later rerear its ugly head in America under the CIA’s MKULTRA. As noted in Treason in America p.459: “Not only spooks of the graveyard variety, but espionage agents for overseas [MI6] British Empire work had long been cultivated at the school (at Cambridge University; the same is true of Oxford University).”] and who was also a member of the disinformation speciallizing London Controlling Section set up personly by Winston Churchhill within Churchhill’s own personal headquarters [See pp. 221-222 Messengers of Deception]. To Dennis Wheatley, the Devil was a very real entity. Winston Churchill like Gerald Massey was also a Druid) (Dennis Wheatley’s treatise Total War [1941 A.D.] championed the use of propaganda, “the science of influencing ideas,” as an essential tool of modern warfare. During 341

WWI, and as early as 1914 A.D., a number of writers were employed by the British ‘War Propaganda Bureau’ which was headed by cabinet member Charles Masterman who thereby marshaled the combined literary efforts of many famous British writers [additionally, British artist Augustus John served as an ‘Official’ war artist under Charles Masterman as well] which included among others H.G. Wells, G.K. Chesterton, Arthur Conan Doyle, J.M. Barrie, G.M. Trevelyan [son of Sir George Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, a minister in P.M. William Gladstone’s cabinet and brother of Rainbow Circle-member Sir Charles Trevelyan, 3rd Baronet], George Bernard Shaw’s friend Gilbert Murray [Gilbert Murray would serve as the Society for Psychical Research president from 1915-1916 A.D.], and John Buchan [later 1st Baron Tweedsmuir], in a secret conscious and concerted effort to influence foreign public opinion more favorably for England and less favorably for Germany [their object as agents of influence was to get America to enter the war on the side of the British. As an example of the group’s propaganda practices, the execution of a Red Cross nurse named Edith Cavell—a British Intelligent agent using the nursing profession as a cover, Cavell was caught and executed by the Germans, her death held as an outrage in the press though her true identity as a spy was of course, never reported (See pp.51-53,210 Churchill’s Wizards). The British spy G.M. Trevelyan would also serve in the Red Cross in Italy (Ibid p.120) a testament to the common British use of the Red Cross as a cover for spying operations. The Red Cross organization has CIA connections as well. The son of Yale Skull and Bones-member Henry Pomeroy Davison (Henry Pomeroy Davison was the first President of the International Federation of the Red Cross and a J.P. Morgan & Company senior partner/participant in the Jeckyl Island meeting which lead to the creation of the Federal Reserve. Pierre Jay, a Massachusetts banking commissioner who would serve as first Chairman of the newly formed Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was a fellow Yale Skull and Bones member as well), Yale Skull and Bones-member F. Trubee Davison (a New York State Assemblyman/Assistant Secretary of War for Aeronautics) would serve as director of personnel for the Central Intelligence Agency]. Arnold J. Toynbee would serve as one of the groups ‘historical consultants’ [See p.50 Churchill’s Wizards]. This was an early Intelligence operation from the get-go and by war’s end H.G. Wells would be elevated to the office of Director of Foreign Intelligence, and Arnold J. Toynbee would work for the Political 342

Intelligence Department of H.G. Wells’ British Foreign Office [a forerunner of SIS/MI6]. John Buchan would become the great spymaster under whom, notably enough, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Algernon Blackwood, founder of the Canadian Theosophical Society, served as a spy, and over which later lorded Arnold J. Toynbee himself as chief of the combined British Intelligence services during World War II [under whom served fellow British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley, a known associate of the aforementioned author G.K. Chesterton believed by some to have been a member of the Golden Dawn as well]. Included amongst this magical group of author-spies was Lord Beaverbrook’s friend Arnold Bennett, a former denizen of the pre-WWI Montparnasse/Montmartre group of artists and writers gathered together in Paris who himself would become the secretive Ministry of Information’s Director of Propaganda for France. Lord Beaverbrook, as Minister of Information, was head of the Ministry of Information itself and had extensive Intelligence associations, a fact of extreme importance later on in our story. As the reader shall soon discover, British Intelligence is in fact the bastard child of the Illuminati, born of war and sired by the god of war, Azazel. Thus would begin [or rather, continue] a long association of British poets, authors and playwrights with spydom. George Bernard Shaw himself would even visit the war front in Europe as a war correspondent for propaganda purposes during WWI at the behest of Major-General George Macdonogh, director of British Military Intelligence [Ibid p.211]. And as many of these individuals were members of Freemasonic lodges, one may also draw a parallel between spydom and Freemasonry. Spydom, Freemasonry and magic of course go hand in deceptive hand) And one must add the likes of high-degree Freemasonic ceremonial magicians/invokers of fallen angels Aleister Crowley and S. L. MacGregor Mathers to this list of intellectuals who haunted the halls of the magickal British Musaeum, they being well known members of the magic order known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the inner circle of the Theosophical Society itself. In fact, the three founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, William Robert Woodman, William Wynn Westcott, and S. L. MacGregor Mathers were high-degree Freemasons and members of Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (S.R.I.A.) (the English Rosicrucian 343

society known as the S.R.I.A. which accepted only Master Masons [Blue Lodge] and was originally founded in 1867 A.D.). William Wynn Westcott and Samuel Liddell (S.L.) MacGregor Mathers were also Theosophical Society members (founded 1875 A.D.), as was Theosophical Society President Annie Besant who exclaims in her very own words in Annie Besant: An Autobiography: “I would go out and study all day at the British Museum.” Perhaps ‘conspire’ would be more to the point. (Notable Quote: “Filled with the spirit of Satan, who knows how to transform himself into an angel of light, Freemasonry puts forward as its pretended aim the good of humanity. Paying a lip service to the authority of law, and even to the obligations of religion, it aims (as its own statutes declare), at the destruction of civil authority and of the Christian priesthood, both of which it regards as the foes of human liberty.” - Parvenu a la Vingtcinquieme annee by Pope Leo XIII, 1902 A.D.) (Many Masons trace their genesis to the Knights Templar group, and the Knight Templar’s Temple Church English headquarters is located there in London [in Temple, London, located in the Medieval City of London area] which surviving the London Blitz still stands on site to this day. It is for this very reason that: “What Jerusalem is to Jews and Mecca to Mohammedans, and Rome to Catholics, that London is to Freemasons.” – Mysteria by Rhyne, 1895 A.D. The Knights Templar group itself following their loss of the city of Acre in 1291 A.D. had in the main headquartered itself in Paris at the Villeneuve du Temple. By command of papal bull, in 1312 A.D. the Knights Templar order was dissolved [the French knight leader of the Knights Templar group Jacques de Molay would be executed in 1314 A.D.] and the properties and assets of the Templars confiscated [the Knights Templars had become, to their own demise and despite their vows of poverty, the international bankers of their day, a militant super-wealthy international banking cabal with ‘anti-Christian tendencies’ which through various intrigues perpetuated by high-ranking inner-circle members had threatened the established political/religious order], transferred to the Knights Hospitalliers who would occupy this compound until their own subsequent suppression during the French Revolution. Save for its Palace of the Grand Prior, it would eventually be demolished by order of Napoleon—the Palace itself being destroyed by Napoleon III in the wake of the Revolution of 1848. The City of London where the Bank of England itself is located is today circa 2015 A.D. the epicenter of the global financial system controlled by secret societies who associate themselves with the Knights Templar order [For more information, see David Icke’s film Revelations of a Mother Goddess]. Today, like the phoenix, the militant Templar banking order arises again from the ashes. The Fabian Society’s own expressed planned takeover of the world [“…a hellish conspiracy to enslave and dominate the free peoples of the earth…” - All These Things] by the City of London financial community through the creation of corporations which control all aspects of banking, industry and resources was first published in a book entitled All These Things [1936 A.D.] by New Zealand author and journalist, A.N. Field)

It was also in the British Museum Reading Room where Arthur Machen first met A.E. Waite in 1887 A.D. Another such ghost which haunted the British Museum was Mafia-founder Giuseppe Mazzini, an important figure when one realizes that Freemasons and members of the associated Youth Movement group and other Theosophical 344

Society members are often accomplices in the ‘conspiracy’ known as the greater Theosophical Movement. In fact, Freemasonic groups and the factions they’ve founded have always been used as international instruments of subversion the world over. And assassination and espionage is the name of the game (such groups were also riddled with spies and citizen informants): “(Giuseppe) Mazzini developed and taught, in his grandiloquent style, as well as practised the doctrine of assassination which formed, we know, a part of the system of all secret societies…” - Freemasonry Unmasked (A purported product of ‘automatic writing’ entitled Letters from the Other Side [“prefaced and edited by Henry Thibault,” London, 1919 A.D.; the ‘Other Side’ is the ‘sitra abra’ of the Zohar, the Abyss wherein is entrapped Azazel and his angels] connects the subversive machinations of Giuseppe Mazzini to and I quote the “guardian angels,” no doubt those of the rebellious fallen sort by whom he was Overshadowed. It is said Theosophical Society founder H.P. Blavatsky was initiated into the Freemasonic conspiratorial organisation known as the Carbonari by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1856 A.D. (the Theosophical Society should rightfully be viewed as an offshoot/successor/sister organization to the Carbonari). Founded in early 19th-century Italy, the Carbonari consisted of groups of revolution spawning secret societies specializing in assassination. It was a Carbonari member named John Wilkes Booth who carried out the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the Carbonari played an active role in the assassinations of King Carlos I of Portugal and of his heir, Prince Luís Filipe, the Duke of Braganza in 1908 A.D. The Carbonari also participated in the 1910 A.D. revolution in Portugal which successfully overthrew its monarchy. Other prominent Carbonari members of note included the Marquis de Lafayette,** hero of both of the American and French Revolutions, *** the Italian revolutionary Garibaldi, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte [who eventually became Emperor Napoleon III in the aftermath of the Carbonari inspired Revolution of 1848 in France] and the British Romantic-era poet Lord Byron,**** hero of the Greek War of Independence [See Wikipedia: Carbonari]) (**The Marquis de Lafayette’s son, Georges Washington de La Fayette [named in honor of George Washington], would like his father also play an active role in events culminating in the Revolution of 1848 in France) (*** “The great revolutionary movement began between the middle and the end of the 18th century, when in 1770 [Mayer] Amschel Rothschild became the manager [he essentially being the Minister of Finance and of Foreign Affairs] of the Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel [Cassel in Germany was the birthplace of Rosicrucianism. It was the Grand Master of Bavarian ‘Illuminized’ Freemasonry, Frederick II, Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel who provided for a fee the Germanic Hessian mercenary troops employed by King George III against colonial forces during the American Revolutionary War].” – p.32 The Secret World Government by Tsarist General Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich, 1926 A.D. Frederick II, Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel was married to Princess Mary of Great Britain, the daughter of British King George II [a member of the Germanic House of Hanover], grandfather of King George III. Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s grandson, Lionel Rothschild was a close personal friend of Carbonari British P.M. Benjamin Disraeli. The Rothschild family owns the City of London-based multinational investment bank N M Rothschild & Sons founded by Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s son Nathan Mayer Rothschild in 1811 A.D.) (****Lord Byron’s 1821 A.D. mystery play Heaven and Earth: A Mystery is based upon the story of Azazel and his alien band of fallen angels mating with Cainite earth women)

One such infamous assassination carried out by a subversive 345

Freemasonic cell, namely the assassination of the heir to the AustroHungarian throne, led to the onset of World War I: “On 28 June 1914, Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian-Serb student and member of Young Bosnia (also known as the Young Turk**), assassinated the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria (along with his wife, Sophie [whom Franz Ferdinand had married against his father Emperor Franz Joseph’s* wishes (*author of a book entitled Toward an Honorable and Victorious Reich detailing the Habsburg’s familial relationship to the Rothschild family)], born of an aristrocratic family from Prague in the Kingdom of Bohemia [Upper Palatinate]) in Sarajevo, Bosnia (resulting in an Austro-Hungarian declaration of war on Serbia which would ultimately draw in various nations the end result being WWI).” –Wikipedia: World War I (**Career revolutionist and agent provocateur Ze’ev [Vladimir] Jabotinski was a Jewish Zionist/Russian Bolshevik who moved to Turkey in 1908 A.D. where he was editor of a Carbonari newspaper named Young Turk, no doubt having a great inflammatory influence thereupon. Jabotinski’s arrival coincided with the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 A.D. which deposed the ruling government in Turkey. The Carbonari followed up this success with the Carbonari-allied Emperor Franz Joseph’s seizure of Bosnia-Herzegovina also in 1908 A.D.) (Think of this act of assassination by this particular Freemasonic Youth Movement group in the context of the infamous Boston Tea Party, where Freemasonic colonists dressed as Indians carried out a sabotage operation/act of destruction/false flag attack, in an attempt to lay the blame on innocent Native Americans with whom they were often at odds. In this way such a subversive group of agents provocateur may manufacture a crisis, blame it on others, and feigning outrage [while patriotically waving the flag to get others to rally around it], act in militant response against it; in this way one may even illicit a retributive response against an innocent foe who is subsequently erroneously blamed. To use another example, a Zionist or Illuminati agent, say, may dress as a Turk, assassinate someone whereupon war is declared against an innocent country, sparking a major world-wide war. One may in such a way also generate a false flag 9/11 attack [whereby America attacked Iraq and Afghanistan although 19 of the 20 high-jackers were in fact Saudi Arabian] shades of Operation Northwoods [an entirely evil 1962 A.D. plot in which it was proposed that the CIA commit terrorist attacks real or simulated upon our American homeland then placing the blame on Cuba and thusly justifying an attack thereupon] and Operation Gladio or even feign a Gulf of Tonkin-like incident which declassified U.S. documents reveal was itself entirely faked in order to ramp up support for the unpopular ‘police-action’ war in Vietnam)

The Young Bosnia/Young Turk secret society in which Gavrilo Princip played an active role was a Freemasonic creation from the getgo, a single faction of what was known as the greater Youth Movement of the period. As we learn from the pages of Occult Theocracy (to which list we may add ‘Young America,’ ‘Young Bosnia’/‘Young Turk’ and ‘Young India’): “(Carbonari-member Giusseppe) Mazzini had already established 346

his reputation as an international intriguer. The ‘Youth Movement’ of the day was already organized: — The societies composing it were: — Young Italy — founded by Mazzini 1831 Young Poland — founded by Simon Konarski.... 1834 (a Polish revolutionary whose father was a Polish colonel who participated in the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794 A.D.) Young England — founded by Benjamin Disraeli 1834 (Benjamin Disraeli was a friend of Edward Bulwer-Lytton and would later become British Prime Minister. Edward Bulwer-Lytton was a disciple of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member Eliphas Levi [See p.30 The Romance of Sorcery]) Young Europe — founded by Mazzini 1834 (“YOUNG EUROPE. An international association formed in 1834 on the model of Mazzini's Young Italy. It was composed of the national societies of Young Italy; Young Poland, and Young Germany, which, independent in their own sphere, acted in common, through a central committee…The headquarters of the society were in Switzerland, where, in 1835-36, was brought about the organization of a French society, Young France [an offshoot organization of the Charbonnerie (Carbonari) which eventually vaulted Napolean III to power in France. See below**].” - The New International Encyclopædia, 1905 A.D.)

Young Switzerland — founded by Melegari (Emery) 1835 Young Ireland — founded by (William) Smith O’Brien 1843 (an Irish M.P. for County Clare in Ireland; following his arrest for leading the Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848, he would be sentenced to ‘transportation’ to the British penal colony of Australia) Young Germany — founded by Hecker & Struve.... 1848 (Baden revolutionary leaders Friedrich Hecker and Gustav von Struve led the Hecker Uprising of April, 1848 A.D. which resulted in the short-lived Republic of Baden [as we learn from Treason in America p.294: “…the Young Germany movement set up in Switzerland in 1831 by British foreign minister Henry Palmerston, its thousands of refugee members and operatives ranging back and forth from its Swiss base. This was the training ground for the young Friederich Engels (a revolutionary participant in the Carbonari Revolutions of 1848 which were revolutions waged in Habsburg ruled territories).” Note this base of operations and its modus operandi. Baden is near to Habsburg Castle in Habsburg, Switzerland, the originating seat of the House of Habsburg, one of Europe’s leading royal dynasties. Baden is also home to the famed Black Forest region: “The Black Forest, the Harz 347

Mountains, and particularly the Brocken Peak [the highest high-place in the Harz Mountain chain], were the home of every possible form of magic and wizardry in Germany.” – p.108 The Black Art]).” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller) (**As we learn from the Catholic Encyclopedia: “Pope Pius VII issued a general condemnation [entitled ‘Ecclesiam a Jesu Christo’] of the secret society of the Carbonari, 13 September, 1821 [it denounced the Carbonari as comprising: “…a multitude of wicked men…united against God and Christ, with the principal aim of attacking and destroying the Church…deceiving the faithful and leading them astray from the doctrine of the Church by means of a vain and wicked philosophy.”]. The association [read: the Carbonari]…was gradually absorbed into the new political organizations that sprang up in Italy; its members became affiliated especially with Mazzini’s "Young Italy." From Italy the organization was carried to France where it appeared as the Charbonnerie [the revolutionary Carbonari general Marquis de Lafayette was involved with this group]…Members were especially numerous in Paris, where the society was formed in 1821 by three young men named [Armand] Bazard, [Phillipe] Buchez, and Flotard…From Paris as a centre the Charbonnerie spread rapidly through the country, and by the end of the year 1821 it was the cause of several mutinies among the troops…The Charbonnerie [Carbonari] took part in the Revolution of July, 1830…” which resulted in the overthrow of King Charles X who was replaced by his cousin King Louis-Phillipe [Grand Master of the Freemasonic Grand Orient of France] who would himself be dethroned during the Revolution of 1848 [French ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi, likely himself a member of the Carbonari, would release a pro-revolutionary radical tract entitled The Testament of Liberty at this time in 1848 A.D. further inflaming passions] whereupon Phillipe Buchez would accede to the presidency of the national constituent assembly in Paris at which convention Jacques-Charles Dupont would be elected President of the French Provisional Government becoming the de facto Head of State [known formally as the French Second Republic], later to be ousted in an 1851 A.D. coup led by Carbonari-member Napoleon III resulting in the Second French Empire) (Today such youth movement groups have set the Muslim world afire. Also to this list should be added the Davos, Switzerland, Young Global Leaders Youth Movement of the World Economic Forum devoted to a great global commonweal [think: NWO globalization. The World Economic Forum was founded by the 348

Ravensburg-born/Harvard University-educated German economist Klaus Schwab in 1971 A.D. (Ravensburg was a Bavarian enclave [think: Bavarian Illuminati] within Wurtemberg in Germany)] and the Young Theosophists, the Theosophical Society’s very own Youth Movement group originally headed by George S. Arundale, organized as the World Federation of Young Theosophists. The Theosophical Society itself was originally founded by Carbonari-member H.P. Blavatsky. The vӧlkisch youth groups which constituted the Hitler Youth movement also belong to this list: “The Youth Movement [Young Germany] came to Hitler’s side. It was first strong in the volunteer corps, fighting against Bolsheviks at home and abroad. At the Nazi Party Congress at Nuremberg in August, 1927, 20,000 Storm troop men paraded. From then it advanced from strength to strength, and the Hitler Youth has given an example to the whole world.” – p. 25 The Holy Book of Adolf Hitler by Battersby, 1952 A.D. Hitler Youth leader Baldur von Schirach was in fact via his mother a descendent of two signatories to the U.S. Declaration of Independence) (Pertinent Quote: “The plan of [the British Freemasonic statesman and two-time Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Lord] Palmerston—or the plan of the deadly council which plotted under him—was to separate the two great conservative empires of Russia and Austria [Austria later became a part of Germany], while, at the same time, dealing a deadly blow at both [following the age old adage ‘divide and conquer’]. It was easy for Palmerston to make England see the utility of a weakened Russia, which threatened her Indian possessions.” - Freemasonry Unmasked. Perhaps it was this long term plan which would ultimately lead to the rise of Adolf Hitler himself, aided in his rise to power by the Carbonari’s Young Germany Youth Movement group. It is said Hitler was a British secret agent [See Hitler Was a British Agent by Greg Hallet, 2005 A.D.], and Hitler, in his book Mein Kampf, originally called for a German-British alliance. That Hitler ultimately drove Germany [of which Austria was a part] to ruin and division while militarily seeking the destruction of Russia, history is a witness, he even overriding the wishes of his generals by invading the Russiandominated Soviet Union with which he had previously secured a nonagression pact [called the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 A.D.]. Defeat in Russia dealt a death blow to German plans of world conquest. Lord Palmerston’s plan had reached fruition. In the aftermath of WWII the Young America faction in alliance with England would rise to global dominance) (The name of the ‘Youth 349

Movement’ itself conveys a deep esoteric meaning—it could also be rightly defined as the ‘Kumara [Youth] Movement’ in deference to the fallen angel Azazel: “So that that word Eternal is never to be confused with everlasting, remember that word is the word rightly given to that great Being (Azazel) beyond our knowing, who is spoken of in the Puranas as the Eldest Kumara (Azazel was, it must be noted, before his fall the leader [eldest] of the angelic group known as the Twenty-Four Elders), the great Being (who is Azazel) we call Sanat** (‘Eternal’) Kumara (‘Youth’)…Him (Azazel) who is the Head of the Inner Government of our World.” - The Inner Government of Our World by Annie Bessant. Sanat interestingly enough is an anagram of the word satan and ‘satans’ are definition fallen angels). “Freemasonry, under the direction of (the British high-degree Freemasonic statesman and two-time Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) Lord Palmerston, attempted and effected after the failure of the revolutionary movements (after the failure of the Revolutions of 1848 A.D.), conducted by the party of action, under (perennial revolutionary and Chief of Political Action Giuseppe) Mazzini, in 1848. These (Freemasonic Youth Movements) were fomented to a large extent by British diplomacy and secret service money manipulated by Lord Palmerston. Under his (Palmerston’s) guidance and assistance, Mazzini had organized all his revolutionary Sects. Young Italy, Young Poland, Young Europe, and the rest sprang as much from the one as from the other.” – Freemasonry Unmasked (it was the British secret service-sponsored Carbonari militant group which would give birth to the Theosophical Society which is itself along with its magic-practicing inner-circle the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn an arm of British Intelligence as the reader shall later discover)

This speaks of course of the Revolutions of 1848, a concerted series of revolutions staged across Europe [as well as in a number of countries around the world] in 1848 A.D. through the subversive activities of Freemasonic lodges headquartered in nations including Sicily and the Italian states, the Germanic states, France, Denmark, Schleswig, Wallachia, the Habsburg Empire, Hungary, Switzerland, Poland, and Ireland. The very few exceptions included England, where was ensconced the Machavellian-minded Freemasonic Illuminati stateman, the English Lord Palmerston (Switzerland was one of the few places where the Illuminati/Carbonari revolutions was a success and has traditionally been a hotbed of Illuminati intrigue every day since, itself providing a springboard for the later Young Germany 350

Hitler Youth youth movement which resulted in the rise of Adolf Hitler himself. The country of Switzerland has long been home to a sizable population of revolutionaries in exile and has served as the subversive habitat to no small number of British ex-pats). The American Revolution of 1776 A.D. may also be placed into the category of Freemasonic generated rebellions, whereby international Freemasonic lodges, acting in coordination—in this case lodges located in America, France and the Germanic state of Bavaria (home to the Bavarian Illuminati)—worked to subversively overthrow an established governing body, as was also the case with the associated French Revolution of 1789 A.D. (the Freemasonic Illuminatimajordomo the Marquis de Lafayette, a Carbonari member, played an intregal role in both of these revolutions). The American Civil War (1861-1865 A.D.) like the Revolutions of 1848 was likewise instigated through Lord Palmerston’s Freemasonic manipulations through militant Freemasonic groups headed by Confederate General Albert Pike with the perennial Carbonari revolutionary Giusseppe Mazzini as an accomplice. Albert Pike’s own right-hand man was a fellow Freemason named Phileas Walder, a former Lutheran minister from Switzerland turned Spiritualist who was a friend of French ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi (Eliphas Levi, whose disciple Edward BulwerLytton was a friend of Young England Youth Movement-leader Benjamin Disraeli, would himself go on to become a leading member of a Theosophical Society lodge in France as well as a leading member of its magic-practicing inner-circle the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, one of the three co-founders of which, the Freemason Dr. William Robert Woodman, had served [as noted in The Golden dawn Scrapbook p.72] as a volunteer surgeon during the Carbonari’s coup d’ѐtat in France which resulted in the ascension of Emperor Napoleon III, a testament to this magic order’s Carbonari connections). One must not underestimate the combined power of the Scottish Rite Freemasons and their Carbonari allies. The Revolutions of 1848 A.D. (included amongst which was what is commonly known as the First Italian War of Independence [1848 – 1849 A.D.]) would be followed up with the Second Italian War of Independence [1859 A.D.] pitting the combined forces of France under the leadership of the Carbonari emperor Napoleon III and the allied Kingdom of Sardinia (also known as the Kingdom of Savoy [which territory included the Waldensian stronghold of Piedmont located in Northern Italy]) in a war against Austria which would result in the loss of much of 351

Austria’s Italian territories (this war saw Napoleon III working in conjunction with fellow Carbonari-member/Italian revolutionary Garibaldi). A third war pitting Austria against allied Prussian and Italian forces known as the Austro-Prussian War [1866 A.D.] would result in the loss of Austria’s remaining Italian possessions (the Italian portion of the campaign is often referred to as the Third Italian War of Independence. Another pivotal moment in Carbonari history was the Franco-Prussian war [July 19, 1870 – May 10, 1871]. The Carbonari orchestrated defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War sowed the seeds of a new German empire leading to World Wars I and II. Napoleon III would enter into exile in England following his defeat) Union forces under U.S. President Abraham Lincoln would ultimately emerge victorious from the American Civil War though Lincoln would find little time to savor his success. It is alleged John Wilkes Booth, famous for his assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 A.D., was himself a 33° Freemason as well as one of Mazzini’s Carbonari (at the conclusion of Carbonari-inspired Civil War hostilities in America, an army led by Union army general Philip Sheridan would threaten Carbonari-member Napoleon III’s French forces ensconsed in Mexico. Napoleon III had sent French troops to Mexico in what is known as the Franco-Mexican War which intrigue had resulted in the short-lived Carbonari-supported Second Mexican Empire [1864 – 1867 A.D.] which itself had provided material support to the Southern rebellion. Abraham Lincoln had demanded the withdrawal of these Mexican-allied French troops which would ultimately begin their retreat on May 31, 1866 A.D. President Abraham Lincoln, who had provided the arms to the rebel forces which eventually toppled this Carbonari-installed government, would himself be assassinated by Carbonari-member John Wilkes Booth. President Abraham Lincoln’s death must be counted as a casualty of these London-led Carbonari proxy wars). Indeed: “…according to (Prussian general Otto von) Bismarck (La Vieille France, N-216) it was (the Carbonari’s Young England Youth Movement-leader/British P.M. Benjamin) Disraeli and his patrons, the Rothschilds, who invented the plan of destroying the United States by fomenting a Civil War here, and by a foreign attack in 1863-64 by five 352

powers… Disraeli was a mere tool of the Rothschilds (it was the Rothchilds who funded Adam Weishaupt [See Behold a Pale Horse p.76], founder of the Bavarian Illuminati from which organization the Carbonari group is descended)... The Civil War was started in 1861 and the British, French, Spanish, Belgian and Austrian troops were already in Mexico City, ready to profit by the Civil War (by intervening on the side of the Confederacy, some in hopes of reclaiming former colonies)… But then the (Russian) Czar Alexander II warned (the Carbonari French Emperor) Napoleon III (who was offered the return of Louisiana in exchange for his military assistance) that he would invade France if this coalition helped the Southerners to smash the North. The Czar even sent his squadrons at the disposal of President Lincoln to defend New York and San Francisco. President A. Lincoln had the right to order this fleet to fight any of the above five Powers. Only thus the United States was saved!” - p.10-11 The Secret World Government, 1926 A.D. by Czarist Major-General Count Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich, a friend of U.S. Union Army Civil War General James Grant Wilson and American statesman/Lincoln-appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Napoleon III John Bigelow who, working together with the American Ambassador to the United Kingdom/Harvard University overseer/American Academy of Arts and Sciences Fellow Charles Francis Adams, Sr. (the son of U.S. President John Quincy Adams) helped thwart Britain’s and France’s attempts at intervention on the side of the Confederacy during America’s Civil War (According to what Cherep-Spiridovich terms his Theory of the Satanic Forces which rule the world, he therein states: “Satanic Forces [which he refers to as the “Hidden Hand” of a secret Invisible World Government, composed of, and I quote, “demons” (Ibid p.25)]…are now ruling the World” [Ibid p.9], they being in control of as he explains, “all the kingdoms of the world” which “Satan offered Christ,” it being a group whose purported goal is to “put an end to civilization based on Christianity” [Ibid p.41]. As additionally noted therein, the Rothschild family heads up this “Hidden Hand” Satanic order [the Illuminati] which is in fact “backed by Satan” himself [Ibid p.88]). In this regard it is interesting to note that the Rothschild family claims descendence from the ancient King Nimrod, the first Masonic grandmaster, the rebellious builder of the Tower of Babel: “The practice of dynastic kingship based on a royal lineage traceable to the gods (read: fallen angels) has affected nations and governments up to the present day, as evidenced by the fact that the Rothschilds of today claim kinship to Nimrod (a reputed angel/human hybrid).” – p.232 Our Occulted History by Bill Marrs, 2013 A.D. The Rothschild/Illuminati plan for one world government through the establishment of a globally united New World Order is intended to undo what God in His wisdom had accomplished at Babel: “And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they (the united band of survivors from the Flood) journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s 353

speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.” – Genesis 11:1-9).

Czarist Russia had previously also helped to quell the Carbonari’s Hungarian Revolution of 1848. Russia would later succumb to a Carbonari revolution itself. Eventually, however, in an effort to more fully integrate the Freemasonic Lodges of European aristocracies with those in democratic America in order to stave off future Carbonari defeats [the Carbonari typically worked/work secretly through Freemasonic lodges]: “(Giuseppe) Mazzini set himself to study the problem of the international organization of Freemasonry, and in 1870 reached an agreement with (Freemason and former Confederate general Albert) Pike for the creation of the Supreme Rite. The Franco-Prussian war, which enabled the King of Piedmont (Savoy), already called King of Italy (Victor Emmanuel II, King of Piedmont/Savoy was crowned King of Italy on March 17, 1861 A.D. [which event marked the formal occupation of the Papal States]—as a point of reference, Confederate shelling of Fort Sumter, the opening salvo of the American Civil War, would begin within the month of his coronation on April 12, 1861 A.D.), to take Rome (resulting in the unification of Italy), favoured the abolition of the temporal power of the Pope (for a feel for the historic apathy between Freemasonry and the Roman Catholic Church, see Appendix B), and at this time the constitution of central high masonry was decreed and signed between Albert Pike and Giuseppe Mazzini. The act of creation (of the Supreme Rite) is dated Sept. 20, 1870, the day upon which the army of invasion, commanded by the Freemason, General (Raffaele) Cadorna, entered the Eternal City (the ‘Eternal City’ is a nickname for the city of Rome and this event marks the terminal point of the Papal States [government authority in Italy was distributed amongst many individual states at this time as a check against abrogations of Papal power]. On July 1, 1871 A.D., Rome would become the official capital of a united Italy. The Vatican City State would not be established until 1929 A.D. with the signing of the Lateran Treaty between the Kingdom of Italy [the treaty was signed by Prime Minister Benito Mussolini who would immediately begin an 354

aggressive campaign to destroy the Carbonari-created Sicilian mafia] and the Holy See under Pope Pius XI [Pius’ own personal chamberlain, an Old Etonian named Evan Morgan, was an accomplished occultist whom Aleister Crowley has christened the ‘Adept of Adepts.’ Evan Morgan’s own friends and associates included H.G. Wells, Augustus John, Aldous Huxley and Aleister Crowley it is interesting at this time to note]). The two founders divided their powers according to the following plan. To (Albert) Pike was given dogmatic authority and the title of Sovereign Pontiff (in effect the Pope) of Universal Freemasonry, while Mazzini held the executive authority with the title of Sovereign Chief of Political Action (the so-called ‘party of action’). Mazzini evinced great deference towards the views of the Patriarch of Charleston (aka Albert Pike; Pike, a Harvard University man [keep this link between Harvard University and the Carbonari/Illuminati very much in mind], was at this time in the process of applying the finishing touches to his pagan Ancient Mysteries/Kabbalistic classic entitled Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, considered to be the Freemasonic Bible, which carried a publication date of 1871 A.D.) and begged him to draw up the statutes of the grades of the (Freemasonic) Supreme Secret Rite (a magic rite based upon ancient pagan magic rituals and mystery religions into which studies Pike was deeply engrossed as evidenced by his Morals and Dogma) which would thus be the liturgic bonds of the members of centralized high masonry. Albert Pike, in honour of his Templar Baphomet (the Knight’s Templar god Baphomet; this word is a cognate of the word ‘Behemoth,’ which is the name of Azazel’s cherub. Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, and by extension, Azazel, was known to the Knight’s Templar group as Baphomet [and no doubt a connection exists between this Mazzini-Pike Templar rite and the Freemasonic Order of DeMolay Youth Movement group]), which was in the keeping of his first and historic Supreme Council, named the order the New and Reformed Palladian Rite (from Greek Palladion, the sacred image of Pallas Athene, a goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife; related to this and employed as their device is a palladium, a serpent entwining the form of the mystic tau** [See The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries p.304 by Hargrave Jennings (also known as the ‘crucified serpent’ in Rosicrucian alchemical tracts)], the serpent and the tau cross both being symbols of the fallen angel Azazel. The Palladian Rite is the inner sanctum of Illuminati [Rosicrucian] 355

Freemasonry).” -

Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller; published in 1933 A.D. For more detailed historical information concerning Albert Pike and the Palladian Rite see Devil Worship in France by A.E. Waite, 1896 A.D. Lewis Spence in his An Encyclopaedia of Occultism chimes in on this subject defining the Order of Palladium as being: “A masonic-diabolic order, also entitled the Sovereign-Council of Wisdom [as the word Palladian is derived from Pallas and refers to wisdom, and the serpent itself being the embodiment of wisdom (See Genesis 3:1)], founded in Paris on May 20th, 1737… The fact that it existed is proved by the circumstance that Ragou, the Masonic antiquary, published its ritual.” (In a footnote, Miller expands upon this subject: “In his Cyclopædia of Fraternities Stevens writes that the ‘Order of the Palladium’ was founded in 1730 and soon afterwards introduced in Charleston [South Carolina] where it remained inactive until 1886, it blossomed anew under the name of ‘Reformed Palladium’ and gave a new impulse to the traditions of High Masonry [originally, the Palladian Rite had been brought to Greece from Egypt by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras]. Stevens adds that the Palladium is little known as the number of its members is strictly limited and the deepest secrecy surrounds all its deliberations” [those Masons who attain to this order are said to be in communication with spirits which they call the "Illuminati." These Illuminati are fallen angels. Related to Palladian Rite masonry are the Jewish B'nai B'rith Masonic lodges (B'nai B'rith Masonic lodges are Scottish Rite Freemasonic lodges designed specifically for American Jews), and, as well, the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) which in English translates as the Order of Oriental Templars in deference to the aforementioned Knights Templar group from whom they claim descendence. The OTO is the inner order of Illuminati Freemasonry, the Palladian Rite its central ritual] - Footnote to Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller. Indeed: “Bataille and Margiotta have it that the order of the Palladium or Sovereign Council of Wisdom, was constituted in France in 1737, and this, they infer, is one and the same as the legendary Palladium of the [Knights] Templars, better known by the name of Baphomet (q.v.). In 1801 one Isaac Long, a Jew, carried the ‘original image’ of Baphomet to Charleston in the United States, and it is alleged that the lodge he founded then became the chief in the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. He was succeeded in due course by Albert Pike, who, it is alleged, extended the Scottish Rite, and shared the Anti-Catholic Masonic chieftainship with the Italian patriot Mazzini. This new directory was established, it is asserted, as the new Reformed Palladium Rite or the Reformed Palladium. Assisted by [Albert] Gallatin Mackey, one Longfellow, Holbrook and a Swiss, Phileas Walder by name, Pike erected the new rite into an occult fraternity with world-wide powers, and practiced the occult arts so well that we are asked to believe that the head lodge at Charleston was in constant communication with [the fallen angel] Lucifer!” – p.123 An Encyclopaedia of Occultism: Devil Worship (as ceremonial magician A.E. Waite explains in his book Devil-Worship in France Chapter I: Satanism in the Nineteenth Century [1896 A.D.]: “…the attempt to form a partnership with the lost angels of orthodox theology…constitutes Black Magic,” that “the purpose of Black Magic is simply and obviously to communicate with devils…”). Among its distinguished members was a highpriestess named Diana Vaughan, a descendent of the Rosicrucian alchemist Thomas Vaughan [See Memoirs of an ex-Palladist], Thomas Vaughan having been a member of the Hartlib Circle which itself gave birth to the Invisible College [of which Dr. John Dee was a member] and the vaunted Royal Society) (In a chapter entitled ‘Cabalistic Masonry or Masonic Spiritism’ in Freemasonry Unmasked we are informed: “Before proceeding further with the history of Freemasonry, I shall stay a moment to consider a very remarkable feature in its strange composition, without which it [Freemasonry] scarcely ever appears. The world was never without wizards, witches, necromancers, jugglers [‘jugglers’ are by definition ceremonial magicians], and those who really had, or through imposture, pretended to have, intercourse with demons [read: who were in communication with the fallen angels]. Masonry in its various ramifications is the great continuator of this feature of a past which we had thought departed for ever [though which exists unto this day]. Spirit-rapping, table-turning [“Divination by means of table-turning was known to the Egyptian priests…” – p.27 The 356

Romance of Sorcery], medium-imposture, etc. [of the Spiritism/Spiritualism Movements in both America and Europe], distinguish its adepts in Protestant countries and in Catholic ones. We have almost incredible stories of the intercourse [communication] with the devil and his angels, which men like the Carbonari of Italy maintain [into which secret society the Spiritualist medium H.P. Blavatsky was initiated by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1856 A.D. (See The Anatomy of Revolution)]. However, from the very beginning Freemasonry has had a kind of peculiar dark mysticism connected with it. It loves to revel in such mysteries [of Kabbalism] as the secret conclaves that the Jews used to practice in the countries in which they were persecuted, and which were common among those unclean heretics, the Bulgarians [namely, the Bogomils, a Gnostic sect which invoked the angel Uriel during homosexual sexmagic rituals], the Gnostics [the word Gnosticism being synonymous with witchcraft], the Albigenses [of Albi in France], and the Waldenses. The excesses alleged against the [Knights] Templars were also accompanied by secret signs and symbols which Masonry adopted. But whatever may have been the extent of this mysticism in Masonry before, a spurious kind of spiritism became part of its very essence since the advent of the celebrated Cagliostro, who travelled all over Europe under the instructions of [Adam] Weishaupt [founder of the Order of Illuminati], and founded more lodges than did any individual Freemason then or since. The real name of this arch-imposter was Balsamo. He was an inveterate sorcerer, and in his peregrinations in the East, picked up from every source the secrets of alchemy, astrology, jugglery [jugglery is by definition ‘ceremonial magic’], legerdemain [sleight of hand techniques/stage magic], and occult science of every kind about which he could get any information. Like the Masonry to which he became affiliated at an early period, he was an adept at acting and speaking a lie [he was in fact the perfect spy]. He suited Weishaupt, who, though knowing him to be an imposter, nevertheless employed for him the diffusion of Illuminism. Accompanied by his no less celebrated wife, Lorenza, he appeared in Venice as the Marquis Pelligrini, and subsequently traversed Italy, Germany, Spain, England, the Netherlands, and Russia. In the latter country [of Russia] he amassed, at the Court of Catherine II [Catherine the Great], an immense fortune. In France, assisted by the efforts of the Illuminati, he was received as a kind of demigod, and called the divine Cagliostro. He established new lodges in all parts of the country. At Bordeaux [France] he remained eleven months for this purpose. In Paris [France] he established lodges for women of a peculiarly cabalistic and impure kind, with inner departments horribly mysterious. At the reception of members he used rites and ceremonies exactly resembling the absurd practices of spirit mediums, who see and speak to spirits, etc., and introduced all that nonsense with which we are made now familiar by his modern followers [at Montparnasse in Paris, it must be noted, the Theosophical Society-associated artists and authors which had communally gathered there were well immersed in such Spiritualist practices]. He claimed the power of conferring immortal youth, health, and beauty, and what he called moral and physical regeneration, by the aid of drugs [no doubt including those of the hallucinatory type] and Illuminated Masonry. He was the father and the founder of the existing rite of Misraim—the Egyptian rite in Masonry… Masonry does much to disown Cagliostro; but with a strange inconsistency it keeps the Egyptian rite founded by him, and clings to mysticism of the debased kind he introduced. It is wonderful how extremes thus meet,—how men who make it a sign of intellectual strength to deny the existence of the God that made them bow down stupidly and superstitiously before devils [fallen angels]…” A situation made all the more especially humourous considering ‘Stupidity’ is, as Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey most famously asserts, the ‘Cardinal Sin of Satanism’)

The Freemasons pulling Prussian strings would follow up their military successes eventually resulting in German unification and the creation of the Second German Reich** which existed from the unification of Germany in 1871 A.D. until the abdication of Kaiser 357

Wilhelm II in November 1918 A.D. following Germany’s defeat during World War I (**the First Reich being the Holy Roman Empire and the Third Reich referring to Hitler’s Nazi Germany). The Carbonari King of Italy would use his new minions as a springboard to launch the Italo-Turkish War in 1911 - 1912 A.D. (the first war in history to feature aerial bombardment by airplanes and airships) on the heels of the Carbonari’s Young Turk Revolution of 1908 A.D. in Turkey waged against the ever crumbling forces of an ageing Ottoman Empire, gaining as a trophy Libya in North Africa. Further Freemasonic/Carbonari intrigues would result in the hostilities of World War I obstentiously through the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 A.D. by a member of the Carbonari’s Young Turks Freemasonic movement (the recently unified Freemasonic/Carbonari countries of Germany and Italy would eventually combine forces as allies during WWII). These Carbonari/Freemasonic Youth Movements and the multiple revolutions and wars these groups worked behind the scenes to spawn are part of a long-term conspiracy hailing back in fact to the machinations of Cagliostro’s friend and Illuminati-founder Adam Weishaupt. An examiner named John Robinson of the Royal Society in Edinburg, Scotland, investigating covert Freemasonic activities during the 18 th Century in Europe had the following to report of his findings as addressed to William Wyndham, the British Secretary at War under King George III, in the Third Edition of his most illuminating book entitled Proofs of a Conspiracy Against All the Religions and Governments of Europe, Carried on in the Secret Meetings of Free Masons, Illuminati and Reading Societies circa 1798 A.D. (reading societies/literary societies and the literary profession have long been used as cover for subversive activities, complete with characteristically occult underpinnings, as we shall later discover): “…the French innovations in Free Masonry (instituted by ‘the divine Cagliostro’) were quickly followed in all parts of Europe… the (Freemasonic) Lodges in other countries followed the example of France, and have frequently become the rendezvous of innovators in religion and politics (case in point: “The Archives Mystico-Hermetiques [the archives of the foremost of the French Freemasonic Lodges, the Loge des Chevaliers Biensaisants Freemasonic Lodge located in Lyons, France; this Lodge gave birth to the Martinists and to Martinism (Ibid p.42)] exhibit a very strange mixture of Mysticism, Theosophy, Cabalistic whim, real Science, Fanaticism, and Freethinking, both in 358

religion and politics.” – Ibid p.37), and other disturbers of the public peace, in short, I have found that the covert use of a Mason Lodge (wherein: “Theurgy [ceremonial magic], cosmogony, Cabala and many whimsical and mystical doctrines…were subjects of frequent discussion in the Lodges.” – Ibid p.33) had been employed in every country for venting and propagating sentiments (propaganda) in religion (anti-Christian in nature) and politics (revolutionary in character), that could not have circulated in public without exposing the author to great danger. I found, that this impunity had gradually encouraged men of licentious principles to become more bold, and to teach doctrines subversive of all our notions of morality—of all our confidence in the moral government of the universe—of all our hopes of improvement in a future state of existence—and of all satisfaction and contentment with our present life, so long as we live in a hate of civil subordination (of an anarchist bent, the groups served essentially as seditious agents provocateur). I have been able to trace these attempts, made, through a course of fifty years (beginning in 1748 A.D.), under the specious pretext of enlightening the world by the torch of philosophy, and of dispelling the clouds of civil and religious superstition which keep the nations of Europe in darkness and slavery. I have observed these doctrines gradually diffusing and mixing with all the different systems of Free Masonry, till, at last, an Association has been formed for the express purpose of rooting out all the religious establishments, and overturning all the existing governments of Europe (for which 1848 A.D. would certainly be a banner year with the advent of the Revolutions of 1848. How right Robinson had proved to be!). I have seen this Association exerting itself zealously and systematically, till it has become almost irresistible. And I have seen that the most active leaders in the French Revolution (including the Marquis de LaFayette) were members of this Association, and conducted their first movements according to its principles, and by means of its instructions and assistance, formally requested and obtained: And, lastly, I have seen that this Association still exists, still works in secret, and that not only several appearances among ourselves show that its emissaries are endeavoring to propagate their detestable doctrines among us, but that the Association has Lodges in Britain corresponding with the mother Lodge at Munich (Munich was the capitol of what was at the time Bavaria, now in Germany, home to the Bavarian Illuminati) ever since 1784.” As Robinson goes on to explain: “The Association of which I have been speaking is the Order 359

of Illuminati, founded, in 1775, by Dr. Adam Weishaupt (code name: Spartacus), professor of Canon law in the University of Ingolstadt (located in Bavaria; it was in the University of Ingolstadt where previously the Roman Catholic Church-prosecuted Jewish Kabalist Rabbi Yom-Tov Lipmann-Muhlhausen [author of the anti-Christian Jewish tracts Toledot Yeshu and the Sepher Nizzachon] was installed by his protector, the Duke of Bavaria [the Duke had in fact founded the University of Ingolstadt in 1472 A.D.], following his persecution by the Roman Catholic Church [See Secret Societies and Subversive Movements p.68], and no doubt this fact played a major contributing role in these later anti-Christian intrigues. The Duke of Bavaria himself was a student of the renowned scholar Reuchlin, Cabalist author of De Arte Cabbalistica (The Cabalistic Art, 1517 A.D. Bavaria has long been a center of the magical arts. The ceremonial magician/physician Paracelsus would sojourn in the court of the Duke of Bavaria in the 16th Century as well), Reuchlin being an associate of Cabalist Pico della Mirandola and of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian I [whose titles included King of Bavaria], protector of ceremonial magician Cornelius Agrippa) abolished in 1786 (due to the Order of the Illuminati’s subversive anti-church, anti-state activities including “commotions and insurrections.” [Ibid p.36,37]) by the Elector of Bavaria, but revived immediately after, under another name, and in a different form, all over Germany. It was again detected, and seemingly broken up, but it had by this time taken so deep root that it still subsists without being detected, and has spread into all the countries of Europe. It took its first rise among the Free Masons, but is totally different from Free Masonry (the Freemasonic Lodges themselves were to be brought under the direction of the Illuminati through systematic infiltrations including most importantly the assumption of fiscal duties within the Lodges).” Candidates for Illumination are called Minervals and: “It is in the Lodges of Free Masons that the Minervals (initiates) are found, and there they are prepared for Illumination. They must have previously obtained the three English degrees” [which is to say, they must be Master Masons of the Blue Lodge of Three Degrees] (Ibid p.82,85). The Order of Illuminati, like Freemasonry, was to be divided into various degrees; the “Higher Orders” were to be predicated on the “mysteries” of “the fire-worship of the Magi” (Ibid p.105), the Magi of course being well known practioners of magic and invokers of fallen angels. And like many practitioners of magic, as assassins members of the Illuminati 360

were well versed in the use of “poisons” as well as the use of “pestilential vapours,” which is to say, germ warfare (Ibid p.115), and were even able towards this diabolical alchemical end to employ a “composition which blinds or kills when spurted in the face” (Ibid p.106). As Robinson therein reveals, World Government and the formation of a New World Order (which was then called “Cosmopolitism” whereby everyone would be made “Citizens of the World” of “the great Society of Mankind”) was at that time already an established Freemasonic scheme in the works in 1798 A.D. when this exposѐ was initially written. In fact, we are told: “Weishaupt had long been scheming the establishment of an Association or Order, which, in time, would govern the world” (Ibid p.80). As Robinson lays out in Chapter II: The Illuminati (Ibid p.82), Adam Weishaupt, himself a Rosicrucian adept (as well as an Excorcist, a Spiritualist and a student of Cabala [Ibid p.108]), had for this purpose created an: “…Order of Masons, who called themselves the Illuminated, and that the express aim of this Order was to abolish Christianity, and overturn all civil government” (No manner of deceit was withheld from this quest— they would even put the humanist philosopher Machiavelli to shame. Towards this end Adam Weishaupt’s Illuminati associates constructed a “priest-degree” to bestow upon the clergy of the very Christian churches which they had sought to destroy, individuals who would then unknowingly work towards destroying the religion they themselves had so piously promulgated! [Ibid pp.115-116]. And indeed, to quote Robert Anton Wilson from his book Cosmic Trigger, the: “…secret of the Illuminati is you don’t know you’re a member until its too late to get out”; and in many such individual instances we might definitely place a stress on the key words ‘you don’t know you’re a member’ though it is they for whom you are working).** Adam Weishaupt sets out his plan for a ‘gradual’ change (a long-term conspiracy as it were) of the then present ordering of the world by employing associations of lodges composed of “young members” [which later manifested in the Illuminati/Carbonari/Freemasonic Youth Movement groups] (Ibid p.89). His scheme also included the surreptitious infiltration of “Illuminati into all important civil offices” (Ibid p.100) of the countries in which they conspired, and “particularly into courts of justice,” infiltrating the Universities as well (Ibid p.101) in a bid to control the education of the youth and thereby, influence what was learned by the children of the upper classes as exemplified in the following manner: “…Mr. Weishaupt had a very serious charge, 361

the education of youth, and his encouragement in that charge was the most flattering that an Illuminatus could wish for, because he had brought round him the youth whose influence in society was the greatest...” (Ibid p.109). Adam Weishaupt even devised to promote this ‘gradual’ change through the cultural influences of the “Literati” (Ibid p.103) acting as it were as agents of influence, while “reading societies” (literary circles and the like) were to be employed as fronts for subversive activities (Ibid p.113). The acquisition of periodicals such as newspapers, gazettes and reviews no doubt as platforms for propaganda purposes was considered to be a considerable asset to their enterprise (Ibid p.214). Additionally, it was decreed that every member “shall be made a spy” who was to spy “on all around him” (Ibid p.104). (**The conspiracies of Adam Weishaupt and the intrigues of the Freemasons, the Illuminati and the Carbonari would later induce Pope Leo, in his Encyclical Letter dated April 20, 1884 A.D., Humanus Genus [On Freemasonry], to call Freemasonry and Freemasonic organizations a “foul plague,” and that it was in “these evil sects, in which is revived the contumacious [by definition ‘rebellious’] spirit of the demon…Satan…together with his unsubdued perfidy [deliberate treachery] and deceit,” stating that “at this period, the partisans of evil seem to be combining together, and to be struggling with united vehemence, led on or assisted by that strongly organized and widespread association called the Freemasons…that this Apostolic See denounced the sect of the Freemasons, and publicly declared its constitution, as contrary to law and right, to be pernicious no less to Christendom than to the State,” and “that it is against the Church that the rage and the attack of the enemies are principally directed.” Pope Leo’s letter concludes it is the Church’s belief Freemasonry’s “ultimate purpose” is “the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced [read: the Old World Order], and the substitution of a new state of things [read: a New World Order] in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism (science, evolution, etc.).” The Church says “they [the Freemasons]…teach the great error of this age—that a regard for religion should be held as an indifferent matter, and that all religions are alike” [a belief known as Monism as promulgated by the Freemasonic/Carbonari-associated organization known as the Theosophical Society]. 362

The Carbonari of Giusseppe Mazzini continued the Illuminati agenda of Adam Weishaupt after it was forced to go underground: “The plans of the Carbonari were recorded in 1818 in its secret official document under the title Permanent Instructions, or Practical Code of Rules; Guide for the Heads of the Highest Grades of Masonry. This document…listed several goals, the last of which stated, ‘Our final aim is that of Voltaire and of the French Revolution—the complete annihilation of Catholicism, and ultimately of all Christianity.’” – Scarlet and the Beast by William Cooper Hott. Indeed, Theosophical Societyfounder H.P. Blavatsky, who had herself been initiated into the Carbonari by Giusseppe Mazzini, had this as her ultimate goal (underlining the close association of the Carbonari to the Theosophical Society), for as the Aleister Crowley-initiated magus Kenneth Grant in The Magickal Revival explains: “Blavatsky’s intention in initiating her (Theosophical) society was the destruction of Christianity…” and this in keeping with the Illuminati/Carbonari agenda. Aleister Crowley, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the magical inner circle of Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society, was initiated into witchcraft by an ancestral British witch named George Pickingill who was most likely an esteemed Illuminatus: “George Pickingill…openly campaigned for the overthrow of the Christian religion and the [political] establishment generally… So fierce was ‘Old George’s dislike of Christianity that he would even collaborate with avowed Satanists.” - Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente, 1978 A.D.). This was of course the ultimate goal of the Carbonari and of the Illuminati as well. The Carbonari, the Theosophical Society and later its inner circle Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order (and its associated organizations and offshoots, as would also have been the case with the S.R.I.A. and the OTO) were simply later outgrowths of this earlier Illuminati group whose own sons and grandsons in the words of Thomas Carlyle did “persist in the enterprise” and which primarily worked within the ranks of the Freemasons. And there are even those who draw direct connections between Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Illuminati, and Giusseppe Mazzini, the founder of the Carbonari (a quite credible assertion as Mazzini had been three years a Mason at the time of Weishaupt’s death). It would certainly appear that following the suppression of the Illuminati proper, the group would later reincarnate as the Carbonari. The Biblical war against the saints, by definition Christians and Jews, as prophesied in Revelation 13:7 including the destruction of Rome and with it the Vatican (the allusion 363

to which is set forth in Revelation 18:1-24, 19:1-2) represents the endgame of these Illuminati, Carbonari, Freemasonic and Theosophical Society intrigues. The war on Christians and Jews itself will be like the Inquisition in reverse. The Roman Catholic witchcraft scholar Montague Summers also wrote of such malevolent magical machinations—as Wicca witch/author Doreen Valiente, a selfprofessed “student of the Golden Dawn system of magic” herself surmises: “…he (Montague Summers) devoted a great deal of his literary career to writing against what he regarded as the black international conspiracy of Satanism. To him, witchcraft and Spiritualism were branches of this conspiracy. He defended the role of the Catholic Church in persecuting witches, whom he regarded as heretics and anarchists, as well as Satanists.” As noted by occultist Rollo Ahmed in The Black Art, it was due to the “evil persecution…torture and death” meted out by the Roman Catholic Church itself wherefore these practitioners of “black magic became organized to work against established religions and societies, and was practiced in dark and secret places with the object of overthrowing established powers” including the State and the Roman Catholic Church which supported it. If you read the following selection carefully, you can perceive with insight the later machinations in our story concerning literary/reading societies, co-conspiring magic-practicing writers and poets and artists as well as museums used as Illuminati cover, including the targeted control of educational and judicial institutions and military academies by conspirators in our midst, and all of which follows becomes ever entirely and increasingly clear as the whole dark drama is brought to light before your newly illuminated eyes. In the words of Adam Weishaupt: “The great strength of our (Illuminati) Order lies in its concealment. Let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name (such as the OSS or the CIA), and another occupation (like a member of an Intelligence agency perhaps). None is fitter than the three lower (Blue Lodge) degrees of Free Masonry; the public is accustomed to it; expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it. Next to this the form of a learned or literary society is well suited to our purpose, and had Free Masonry not existed this cover would have been employed; and it may be much more than a cover, it may be a powerful engine in our hands. By establishing reading societies (these reading societies as he explains would typically be established under the management of 364

publishers and booksellers under Illuminati control), and subscription libraries (such as the creation of school and public libraries, the books of which were to be selected by members of their fraternity thereby providing a ready market for Illuminati authors [and this quite often at tax-payers expense]. And as “Purity of heart is perhaps the most distinctive feature of Christian morality” and the Illuminati’s aim the eradication of Christian norms, works of a “sensualist” nature were particularly to be proffered [Ibid p.255] in an effort to subtley introduce “licentious and seditious principles” [Ibid p.258]. To this end we owe the creation of the so-called Freethought societies), and taking these under our direction, and supplying them through our labours, it may turn the public mind which way we will; in like manner we must try to obtain an influence in the military academies (this may be of mighty consequence) (in this way they could control the education of militant youths, and subsequently, even control the military itself), the printing-houses (thereby controlling what is or is not published, so that those who did not tow the Illuminati line “will have neither a publisher nor readers” [Ibid p. 215]) and bookseller’s shops, chapters, and in short in all offices which have any effect, either in forming, or in managing, or even in directing the mind of man: painting and engraving (the artistic professions, certainly including artists, their works and the museums which house them and the galleries which promote them) are highly worth our care…A Literary Society is the most proper form for the introduction (read: the infiltration) of our (Illuminati) Order into any state where we are yet strangers” [Ibid p.148, 149]). One prime example provided of such an Illuminati front was a house which was purchased in Bavaria where secret meetings of the Illumnati were subsequently held therein and which served as, for the purpose of a front, a museum of antiquities, complete with a library and reading room (!!!) whereby: “…the whole has the appearance of a society of zealous naturalists” (Ibid p.149) so not as to draw anyone’s suspicion. No doubt the British Museum in London with its associated library and seemingly innocuous reading rooms wherein had gathered within its walls so many of Carbonari-member Giusseppe Mazzini’s Youth Movement members was itself in this exact same way employed as an Illuminati/Carbonari front! Indeed, as Robinson reveals: “We know that before the Order of Illuminati (the so-called Bavarian Illuminati) was broken up by the Elector of Bavaria, there were several (Illuminati) Lodges in Britain, and we may be certain that 365

they are not all broken up… I am very well informed, that there are several thousands of subscribing Brethren in London alone (circa 1798 A.D.), and we can hardly doubt, but that many of that number are well advanced.” – p.352,353 Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D. Which group of Illuminati of course would later include the British Lord Palmerston. No doubt they are also safely ensconced at Oxford University which by the way owns the Oxford University Press, the largest university press publishing house in the world. Robinson ends his most excellent Illuminati exposѐ with some excellent time tested advice: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves—by their fruits ye shall know them—do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs or thistles?” (He quotes of course from Matthew 7:15-16). A few words must be said concerning Freethought societies (the mothers of the modern Humanist Movement) such as that of Charles Bradlaugh’s National Secular Society for whom Annie Besant served as Vice-President before she took over at the helm as president of H.P. Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society. No doubt associations between such societies run deep. The National Secular Society (a society of Atheists) was employed with authoring and publishing such Freethought pamphlets as were decidedly anti-Christian and antiEstablishment in nature (it was at the National Secular Society where the Theosophical Society-associated philosopher/Fellow of the Royal Society Bertrand Russell would deliver his famous “Why I am Not a Christian” lecture in 1927 A.D.) following exactly along Adam Weishaupt’s preset Illuminati plan, and more will be said on this subject later as this fact does decidedly tie up so many previously loosened ends. However what must at this time be discussed is Annie Besant’s underlying motives for her own anti-Christian madness, this being a pure hatred of God and Jesus the catalyst to which was the death of her precious baby. In Annie Besant: An Autobiography, Besant herself passionately explains: “…the struggle which transformed me from a Christian into an Atheist...was the long months of suffering through which I had been passing, with the seemingly purposeless torturing of my little one as a climax, that struck the first stunning blow at my belief in God as a merciful Father of men... My religious past became the worst enemy of the suffering present. All my personal belief in Christ, all my intense faith in His constant direction 366

of affairs, all my habit of continual prayer and of realisation of His Presence—all were against me now. The very height of my trust was the measure of the shock when the trust gave way. To me He was no abstract idea, but a living reality, and all my heart rose up against this Person in whom I believed, and whose individual finger (though in this she is in error) I saw in my baby’s agony, my own misery, the breaking of my mother’s proud heart under a load of debt, and all the bitter suffering of the poor. The presence of pain and evil in a world made by a good God; the pain falling on the innocent, as on my seven months old babe; the pain begun here reaching on into eternity unhealed; a sorrow-laden world; a lurid, hopeless hell; all these, while I still believed, drove me desperate, and instead of like the devils believing and trembling (a reference to James 2:19), I believed and hated. All the hitherto dormant and unsuspected strength of my nature rose up in rebellion... It was the uprising of an outraged conscience that made me a rebel against the Churches and finally an unbeliever in God… it was Christianity that had robbed me of my child, and I struck mercilessly at it in return…” Illuminati intrigues provided a ready made vehicle for to vent her desperate rage. Sifted by Satan, Annie failed her test; Annie joined the fallen angels in their ongoing rebellion against God and His only begotten Son. A great influence upon Annie Besant was Theosophical Society member A.P. Sinnett’s book entitled The Occult World, which after she had read it she professes she “added Spiritualism to my studies (Spiritualism, a form of witchcraft, involves contact with ‘Otherworldly’ spirits)…I finally convinced myself that there was some hidden thing, some hidden power, and resolved to seek until I found, and by the early spring of 1889 I had grown desperately determined to find at all hazards what I sought. At last, sitting alone in deep thought as I had become accustomed to do after the sun had set, filled with an intense but nearly hopeless longing to solve the riddle of life and mind, I heard a Voice…” Besant was being contacted by the rebellious fallen angels! Indeed, as Aleister Crowley himself explained, when you are good and ready, They will come to you. This momentous event took place at the height of the Spiritualist Movement and Annie Besant had found herself right smack dab in the middle of it all. Soon after this incident she was introduced to H.P. Blavatsky, and soon after that Besant officially joined Madame’s Theosophical Society, becoming a major player in the greater Theosophical Movement. It was at precisely this time in 1889 A.D. that Annie Besant became and I quote “the pupil of H.P. 367

Blavatsky” herself. And she eventually would become Theosophical Society president. In conclusion to her book, Besant again confesses (and perhaps even laments): “I am but the servant of the great Brotherhood” (of rebellious fallen angels). The slaves shall serve and do so in fact! [Author’s Note: ‘The slaves shall serve’ is a favorite saying amongst Satanists and those of their ilk who knoweth not that they themselves are slaves and it is they who in fact doth serve. It is for you that the following words and warnings are written: “…prophecy came not in old time by the will [Thelema] of man: but holy men [priests and prophets] of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. But there were false prophets [witches/pagan priests/practitioners of magic] also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers [Christian Cabalists/Jewish Kabalists] among you [Christians], who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord [Jesus] that bought them [by his death on a cross], and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth [the Way of Jesus] shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not [for you have been condemned from of old (See Exodus 22:18-24)], and their damnation slumbereth not [for: “The wicked (the wicca) shall be turned into hell...” - Psalms 9:17]. For if God spared not the angels that sinned [including the Horned God of the witches, Azazel], but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment [as set forth in The Book of Enoch. It is Azazael and his angels as noted therein who had introduced the ways of magic to mankind (See Appendix A)]; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha [ancient practitioners of homosexual sex-magic] into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked [the word ‘wicked’ employed here and as noted above is derived from the Old English word wicca meaning “wizard,” the KJV version of The Bible being originally rendered into Old English]… The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness [namely, those who practice sex-magic], and despise government [seeking its 368

overthrow]. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities… these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” - 2Peter 1:21, 2:1-12. Turn now and be healed, and pray for your forgiveness]. It must be noted: “In 1902 she (Annie Besant) established the International Order of Co-Freemasonry in England and over the next few years established lodges in many parts of the British Empire.” – Wikipedia: Annie Besant. No doubt this was the fruition of the Illuminati master plan calling for the establishment of a: “Lodge of Sister Illuminatae for women” (See Proofs of a Conspiracy pp.106-107). (Of additional interest, I include the following which I believe highlights the fact these plans originated with the rebel fallen angels with whom such men were in contact and by whom they were being Overshadowed: “I [John Robinson] have a notion that Dionysiacs of Iona had some scientific secrets, viz. all the knowledge of practical mechanics which was employed by their architects and engineers, and that they were really a Masonic Fraternity. But, like the Illuminati they tagged to the secrets of Masonry the secret of drunkenness and debauchery; they had their Sister Lodges, and at last became rebels, subverters of the states where they were protected, till aiming at the dominion of all Ionia, they were attacked by the neighbouring states and dispersed. They were Illuminators too, and wanted to introduce the worship of Bacchus (Azazel) over the whole country, as appears in the account of them given by Strabo (with whose writings no doubt Weishaupt was familiar, as he had modeled his Illuminati organization thereupon). Perhaps the Pythagoreans had also some scientific secrets; but they too were Illuminators, and thought it their duty to overset the State, and were themselves overset.” – p.344 Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D. As The Bible rightfully states, there is nothing new under the sun. The same scheme is being hatched today and this time shall be successful, facilitating God’s return. In the future, during the Biblical prophecied war on the saints [See Revelation 13:7], look for a rehash of the extra-judicial Vehmic Court reinstated by descendents of the Holy Roman Emperors and their own political allies) (Pertinent Quote by Those in the Know: “Maecenas had called magic an instigator to revolt… Had not Maecenas given this golden advice to [the Roman Emperor Caesar] Augustus [Maecenas was Augustus’ friend, ally and political advisor]… ‘Tolerate no person…who devotes himself to the magic arts… From them are born conspiracies and secret societies dangerous to the reign of a lone ruler.’” – p.109 The History of Magic. And such societies are doubly dangerous to a democracy such as ours. Again, there is nothing new under the sun)

In keeping with the Illuminati/Carbonari/Freemasonic agenda, as you will see, the events in our story in particular revolves around artists and composers and actors and poets and authors and reading societies and literary circles and publishers and newspapers and the military and spies and Universities and educational systems and museums and learned societies and of the utmost particular importance, it involves practitioners of magic, invokers of fallen angels. Read on with the preceding facts in mind. (Enter the Freemason-associated Oddfellows): “Oddfellow is the name adopted by the members of a society founded in London (England) towards 1788. Their meeting places were called Lodges, as in Masonry, and many were dissolved under the suspicion that their character was subversive, though the visible (stated) aims of the fraternity were simply mutual help and diversion. But the society, changing its location and its name, continued a precarious existence till, in 1809, several members founded a new lodge at Manchester (England). Then some of them separated in 1813 and formed the independent Order of Oddfellows (I. 0. 0. F.) the members of the general council of which were all to reside at Manchester (England). The order was introduced in America, in 1819, by the blacksmith (Thomas) Wildey, who founded Washington Lodge No. 1, at Baltimore (in Maryland. Baltimore played a major role in the runup to the American Revolution. With Philadelphia under British occupation, the Second Continental Congress would meet there in Baltimore from December 1776 - February 1777 A.D.). This town became the headquarters of the American and Canadian Oddfellows and, thanks to the energy of Wildey, the order made great headway and spread with rapidity. (The poet Henry Wadsworth) Longfellow and (the English Freemason Moses) Holbrook (the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council at Charleston), while exchanging views on the Cabala (Cabala formed the basis of Medieval as well as Renaissance magic), had formed the project of creating a Satanic rite in which the adepts would be instructed in Black Magic… Longfellow obtained from Wildey the authorization secretly to use the Order of the Oddfellows for the initiations of the second class, which was to form an absolutely secret rite and to have its centre at Hamilton (Hamilton, Canada). The adepts of the second class Oddfellows, practicing Satanism, then took the name of Re-Theurgist-Optimates 2(used by the Palladists also) and Longfellow became the Grand Priest of the ‘New Evocative Magic.’” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller (2. Gerard de Nerval, Les Illumines, p. 172. Translation: "Several philosophers of this period followed Quintus Aucler in this revival of the ideas of the school of Alexandria [Egypt]. It is towards the same period that Dupont (de Nemours) published his Philosophy of the Universe, founded on the same elements of adoration of planetary intelligences [his doctrine was Gnosticism plain and simple]. Likewise, he established, between man and God, a chain of immortal spirits [the so-called Planetary Genii of the Gnostics] which he called "Optimates" and through whom any illuminé can have communication. It is always the doctrine of the "ammoneans" gods, the "eons" or "eloims'' [angels] of antiquity. - Footnote to Occult Theocracy p.213 by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller. Magic practices invoke the fallen angels, themselves part of a group known as the Elohim, the “eloims,” as spoken of above. This Dupont was none other than: “Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours (December 14, 1739 – August 7, 1817)…a French nobleman, writer, economist, and government official, who was the father of Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, the founder of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company, patriarch and progenitor of one of America’s richest business dynasties of the 19th and 20th centuries.” – Wikipedia: 370

Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours. It was duPont’s relative Jacques-Charles Dupont de l'Eure who ruled France during the French Second Republic following the Carbonari-led French Revolution of 1848 A.D. Dupont© today is one of the largest [al]chemical companies in the world) (Wrote Giuseppe Mazzini to Albert Pike in 1870 A.D.: “…we must create a supreme rite, which will remain unknown, to which we will call those Masons of high degree whom we shall select (Jan. 22, 1870).” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough, Edith Starr Miller. (As we learn from p.118 Treason in America: “…the treasonous circle of [Guiseppe Mazzini’s] Young America…sprouted up around [Henry David] Thoreau, [Ralph Waldo] Emerson, [Henry Wadsworth] Longfellow, et al., around Concord and Harvard University in Massachusetts…” amongst the Anglophilic Boston Brahmin group [most of whose wealth was gleaned from the British East India Company]. In fact, it was a Boston Brahmin Harvard grad and pro-slavery Massachusetts politician named Caleb Cushing whose family had profited greatly from the British East India Company’s Chinese opium trade who had served as Albert Pike’s mentor and life-long acquaintance as well, he overseeing Albert Pike’s own rise to political power [See p.136 Treason in America]; Albert Pike’s Harvard University connections run in fact quite deep. It was Caleb Cushing who would work with Scottish Rite Freemasons such as Albert Pike to form an army of rebellion within the United States itself [Ibid p.180], the end result being the American Civil War. Other central figures who were involved in the succession of the associated Confederate states include the prominent Swiss/Masonic DeSaussure family, intimates of the Illuminus Lord Palmerston [Ibid pp.177-178]. The brother of a Freemasonic Grand Master, William Ford DeSaussure would become a signer of the Ordinance of Secession in 1860 A.D. which would lead to the secession of Southern confederate states (Charles A. DeSaussure would in 1931-1932 A.D. serve as president of the Sons of Confederate Veterans organization of which U.S. President Harry S. Truman, vice-president under FDR, was a member). Following the secession of the Southern states, it was Young America Youth Movement leader Edwin de Leon whom Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis would dispatch to Europe to recieve official recognition from his Carbonari co-conspirators, England’s Lord Palmerston and France’s Napoleon III [Jefferson Davis, whose father Samuel Emory Davis was one of three brothers who served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, was at one-time son-in-law to Whig-party U.S. President Zachary Taylor,** serving as Secretary of War for the Youth Movement-associated President Franklin Pierce’s presidential administration (**by whom Caleb Cushing was appointed U.S. Attorney General and Edwin de Leon the U.S. Consul in Egypt along with a host of additional Young America cabinet members including George Sanders [who would later serve as a Confederate spy. George Sanders, chief spokeman for the Democratic party and editor of the Democratic Review (a literary magazine whose contributors included abolitionist poets Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Cullen Bryant [Bryant was one of the main proponents of Abraham Lincoln’s presidential candidacy], James Fennimore Cooper, Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau), was also implicated as a Lincoln assassination co-conspiratorialist] who would serve as U.S. Consul in London: “When George Sanders arrived as U.S. Consul in London, he immediately setup his house there as the headquarters of European revolution. At a single dinner party on Feb. 21, 1854, Sanders hosted the "very English" ltalian Giuseppe Mazzini, terrorist assassin Felice Orsini, ltaly’s Giuseppe Garibaldi, Louis Kossuth of Hungary, Arnold Ruge of Germany, A. A. Ledru-Rollin of France, Alexander Herzen of Russia and U.S. Ambassador James Buchanan (elected president of the United States in 1857 A.D., James Buchanan hailed from the Illuminati hotbed of Lancaster County, PA)… Eventually, when the U.S. Congress found out what Sanders was doing, he was recalled from London.” – Ibid pp.217-18). I have been unable to ascertain whether George Sanders is related to actor George Henry Sanders, an attendee of the Bedales School which was as we learn from Wikipedia: “…well known and popular in some Cambridge and Fabian intellectual circles with connections to the Wedgwoods (including Josiah Wedgwood V, the son of Ethel Kate Bowen, daughter of Sir Charles Bowen, 1st Baron Bowen), Darwins, Huxley’s and Trevelyans (including Julian 371

Sci-fi author John Wyndham, a WWII Ministry of Information agent [Wyndham had served in the Ministry of Information along with author Elizabeth Bowen, a member of the Bloomsbury Group] and the Labour Party-connected British diplomat Sir Frank Roberts [a member of the British Foreign Office who served as an advisor to numerous British Prime Ministers including Winston Churchill and Harold Macmillan], had also attended this school as well).” George Sanders has appeared in a number of films connected with British Intelligence/Fabian Society/Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO/Church of Satan-associated individuals including Lloyd's of London (1936 A.D.) with Tyrone Power (a relative of British spy/actor Sir Laurence Olivier whose uncle was a Fabian Society-member, a group whose membership ranks were largely composed of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members), Rebecca (1940 A.D.) with Joan Fontaine and British spy/actor Sir Laurence Olivier, The House of the Seven Gables (1940) with (actor Dennis Hopper’s mentor) Vincent Price (Dennis Hopper’s father Jay Hopper was a member of British spy Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodge headed by Jack Parsons), Rage in Heaven (1941 A.D., screenplay by Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945 A.D.) with Angela Lansbury (alongside her mother Moyna McGill, the wife of George Lansbury’s son, British M.P.

Pandro S. Berman was likely related to Kabbalist Wallace Berman whose circle of friends included Jack Parson’s widow Marjorie Cameron, Kenneth Anger and Dennis Hopper, all individuals associated with the Samson De Brier magic group), appearing on CBS’s longrunning hit game show What’s My Line?

Note that Lehman Bros. founder Henry Lehman was originally born Hayum Lehmann) and were cousins of Pulitzer Prizewinning American playwrite Owen Davis whose actor son Owen Davis, Jr. [he appears in the 1940 A.D. Warner Bros.© release Knute Rockne, All American alongside actor/later U.S. President Ronald Reagan] had begun his career alongside RKO actor Walter Huston [Walter 372

Huston appears in the Howard Hughes produced Western The Outlaw (1943 A.D. for which Ben Hecht was an uncredited writer)], father of director John Huston [under whom Ronald Reagan would serve during WWII] and actress Angelica Huston). George Sanders also starred as the archvillain Mr. Freeze© in two episodes of T.V.s Batman© (on which series also appears Burgess Meredith [an associate of Aldous Huxley] as Batman’s nemesis the Penguin©, an actor also previously blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Group) which aired in 1966 A.D. George Sanders would in 1967 A.D. provide the voice of the character Shere Khan in Walt Disney©’s animated classic The Jungle Book. In 1970 A.D. he appears in director John Huston’s espionage thriller The Kremlin Letter. George Sanders final role before his death was as a Satanist in the 1973 A.D. horror film, Psychomania (music score by John Cameron [any relation to Marjorie Cameron?] known for his musical collaborations with Donovan and Led Zeppelin). Add British spy/actor George Sanders (whose wives included Zsa Zsa Gabor, another one of Anton LaVey’s known former girlfriends) and company to the top of the list of likely alleged John F. Kennedy/Robert F. Kennedy/Marilyn Monroe/Sharon Tate assassination conspirators. More on this subject later]) (It is interesting to note that Florence Jaffray Harriman, the daughter of shipping magnate F.W.J. Hurst who had captained Confederate ships which ran the Union blockade of Confederate ports during the Civil War, would in 1889 A.D. marry a man named J. Borden Harriman [present at which marriage were members of the Astor family including Harvard grad John Jacob Astor IV who died during the sinking of the Titanic and financier J.P. Morgan]. Florence Jaffray Harriman [who was personally instructed in the home of J.P. Morgan] would serve as Ambassador to Norway under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. J. Borden Harriman’s cousin, Edward Harriman, was the father of W. Averell Harriman). Young America Youth Movement leader Edwin de Leon, son of a physician, was a personal friend to William Thackeray, secretary to the board of revenue in the British East India Company [through whom he would gain membership to the Illuminati’s Garrick Club]. Concerning Edwin de Leon’s Young America youth movement officially founded in 1845 A.D. as quoted in Treason in America p.199: “…this movement created the insurrection of 1861 and the American Civil War” (and considering the many Young Germany Youth Movement members employed as Union Generals by President Abraham Lincoln, this war appears to pit the Young America Carbonari group against the Young Germany Carbonari group). Indeed, the Young America Youth Movement had played a consequential role on both sides of the aisle. While Young America Youth Movement leader Edwin de Leon busied himself working to stir up secessionist sentiment, Young America-member William Lloyd Garrison [another associate of Caleb Cushing and a personal friend of Giusseppe Mazzini] was working to stir up the abolitionist pot [Ibid pp.202-4] towards Lord Palmerston’s ultimate goal of American disunion. Another Illuminus elder stateman who worked to fan abolitionist flames was exU.S. President John Quincy Adams [an ex-student of Hellfire Club-member Benjamin Franklin who would serve as a Harvard University professor] whose wife provided English translations of works by the Greek practitioner of magic, Plato, John Quincy Adams being an avid follower of Plato’s teachings himself (Ibid pp.206-7). Such Machavellian machinations are an Illuminati par for the course. It is interesting to note Young America Youth Movement leader Edwin de Leon’s father, Mordecai Hendricks de Leon, was a good friend of Joseph Priestley’s friend, Thomas Cooper [so good he named a son after him; Thomas Cooper was the president of the University of South Carolina], an outspoken proponent of the Illuminatiinstigated French Revolution. Joseph Priestley himself was a close associate of Benjamin Franklin. One of the first orders of business for the Young America Youth Movementassociated Pierce presidential administration was the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the adoption of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, comparable in effect to throwing gas upon a raging wild fire. As abolitionists and secessionists squared off within the territories, and arson and murder reigned,** Orders of Secession and Confederate military ranks were all the while being readied [** much of which was, as we learn from Treason in America pp.227-229, perpetrated by domestic terrorist/abolitionist John Brown (and funded in part by the 373

Anglophile Astor family,*** the forebears to Waldorf Astor’s later pro-Nazi ‘Cliveden Set.’ The Astor family itself is composed of Waldensian descendents hailing from the German Electoral Palatinate, home to the Bavarian Illuminati, Bavaria playing a key role in the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis) whose known associates included Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau]. At his death: “(John) Brown (whose American ancestry can be traced back to the English Puritan settlers) was celebrated as an heroic martyr by the Boston Brahmins and by their poets (including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau) and politicians…” – Ibid p.233. These abolitionist actions had the effect of bringing pro-Union southerners into the Confederate fold. Such is the nature of Illuminati intrigues which they now have down to a well-honed science. As must be noted, one of the main abolitionist preachers of the period was none other than Ralph Waldo Emerson’s close friend William Henry Furness, a Harvard University grad serving as minister of the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia (an institution well known for its fiery abolitionist sermons and Underground Railroad activities during the Civil War era) co-founded by Benjamin Franklin’s friend Joseph Priestley, founder of the Unitarian sect (William Henry Furness’s son, professor Horace Howard Furness would later serve from 1884 – 1887 A.D. as chairman of the Seybert Commission at the University of Pennsylvania [the University of Pennsylvania was originally founded by Benjamin Franklin] which investigated leading Spiritualist mediums of the Spiritualist Movement. Amongst his doctoral students was Emily Jordan Folger [daughter of Edward Jordan who served as Solicitor of the Treasury Department under the Spiritualist President Abraham Lincoln], wife of Henry Clay Folger [a first cousin six times removed of Benjamin Franklin, Henry Clay Folger was the nephew of Folger Coffee founder J.A. Folger [whose great-granddaughter Abigail Folger would along with Sharon Tate die at the hands of Church of Satan-associated Manson Family members] who would serve as chairman of the Rockefeller-owned Standard Oil of New York where future MKULTRA creator/CIA head Allen Dulles served as business manager and a lawyer [Standard Oil-founder John D. Rockefeller was married to Laura Spelman, daughter of Puritan-descendent Harvey Buell Spelman, a Civil War-era abolitionist/political activist actively involved with the Underground Railroad]. Harvard University itself would be at the forefront of MKULTRA experimentation efforts the main study of which was magic including magic-associated entheogenic drugs. Harvard University had extensive Theosophical Society and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn associations as the reader shall later discover. The CIA’s Project MKULTRA itself built largely upon the experiments of Harvard University professor William James, a ‘psychical researcher’ who was himself a member of the Spiritualism-based Theosophical Society. The title ‘psychical researcher’ as noted by the Spiritualist author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The History of Spiritualism Vol II Ch IV is essentially a euphemism for a practitioner of magic). Yet another notable abolitionist preacher of the day was one Dr. George Bush [progenitor and namesake of U.S. presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush], professor of Hebrew and Oriental literature at New York University [NYU] in Greenwich Village [the same school with which Theosophical Society-member Mark Twain and Walt Whitman (a close friend of Edward Carpenter, founder of the Fabian Society, an organization whose membership ranks were composed of leading members of the Theosophical Society and members of its magic-practicing inner circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. A number of Fabian Society founding members were SPR members as well) were associated, the surrounding area being ground zero of the later 1960s MKULTRA/Theosophical Society-inspired hippie magic scene. NYU was originally founded by the Carbonari-associated Freemason/Confederate general Albert Pike’s friend Albert Gallatin Mackey [co-creator with Pike of the Palladian Rite], one of the individuals central to the effort being Samuel Bard, President George Washington’s former personal physician. Today, Satanism and Illuminati/Freemasonic signs and symbolism are promoted in the music videos of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts grad/musical performing artist Lady Gaga. In esoteric circles the title ‘Lady’ is a term of respect for a pagan high priestess, Lady Gaga’s concert performances taking on the form of modern-day magic rituals. The term ‘Gaga’ itself 374

is derived from the dance performances of the Batsheva Dance Company co-founded by the Baroness Bethsabée de Rothschild, a member of the Rothschild banking family and greatgreat granddaughter of Illuminati-founder Mayer Amschel Rothschild]. Dr. George Bush was a Swedenborgian Spiritualist minister and early pioneer of the American Spiritualist Movement as well as an advocate of the restoration of Jews to the Holy Land. Dr. George Bush served as editor of the Swedenborgian Church’s periodical, The New Church Repository. The Bush political family itself was certainly at the forefront of the Spiritualist Movement in America and was at the forefront of psychical research as well (another prominent Abolitionist Bush family member is Obadiah Bush, vice president of the American Anti-Slavery Society). The Society for Psychical Research [SPR] devoted to psychical research would be founded in Britain in 1882 A.D. in order to coordinate, standardize and systematize all previously ongoing yet otherwise haphazard studies of observed Spiritualist phenomena providing a basis for further empirical study. The American center for these endeavors was Harvard University through its SPR-associated American Society for Psychical Research [For more information on the history of the Spiritualist Movement, see The History of Spiritualism Volumes I&II by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]. One major interest of study within the field of psychical research was ‘automatic writing,’ and one notable individual central to this endeavor was Harvard University professor/ASPR-member/psychical researcher William James’ own prized student, Gertrude Stein whose Paris salon was attended by the Church of Satan-associated California occultist Samson De Brier) (*** The Astors, most notably John Jacob Astor of New York City, were intimately involved in the global opium trade receiving much of their initial wealth thereby. One cannot truly understand world history without taking the Western opium trade including the 19th Century Opium Wars into account. Most Boston Brahmin families likewise derived much of their wealth from this worldwide opium drug trade and it was through such shady sources of funding whereby Illuminati intrigues were fueled. The American Civil War itself would arrive on the very heels of the Second Opium War waged against China from 1856 – 1860 A.D. by allied Anglo-French Illuminati/Carbonari forces under the direction of the Illuminus British P.M. Lord Palmerston in conjunction with Carbonari-member Napoleon III, Emperor of France. India as part of the British Empire was the center of the British East India Company’s opium trade where it grew much of its opium supplies. The Opium Wars themselves were largely fought to retain this British company’s opium trade monopoly. The Vietnam War in the 1960s would largely be waged for control of the Southeast Asian ‘Golden Triangle’ drug trade [under of course the guise of Communist containment], the ‘Golden Triangle’ being one of Asia’s two main illicit opium-producing areas [the other being the ‘Golden Crescent’ of Iran/Afghanistan/Pakistan where the American military (under the command of the Harriman family-associated/Carbonari-founded Republican Party U.S. President George W. Bush) and allied British (headed by the Carbonari-associated British Labour Party P.M. Tony Blair) and French forces are similarly embroiled today]. During the Vietnam War, the Boston Brahmin-controlled CIA would operate Air America airlines transporting opium for French/American allied Hmong opium farmers [in support of the French opium trade] which would eventually flood American streets [with special thanks to former WWII OSS agent/former OSS wartime-head William J. Donovan’s New York law firm employee/Saigon CIA Station Chief William Colby, DCI under U.S. Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford [it is of the utmost import to note at this time that the grandfather of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (as it was FDR who oversaw the creation of the OSS during WWII), Warren Delano, served as the Chief of Operations for Stewart Russell & Company, the largest American trading house in China which dealt primarily in silks, teas and of course the opium trade]. During the Vietnam War William Colby would oversee the PSYOPs Phoenix Program with which Church of Satan-member/Temple of Set-founder/Army Intelligence/high-ranking NSA officer Michael A. Aquino was intimately involved]. Opium had also been transported to the port city of Marseille in France by Mafia-allied Corsican gangsters to be refined into heroin which was then shipped to the U.S via the so-called ‘French Connection’ [no doubt other examples abound. These instances however, have received 375

special mention including the glorified Hollywood treatment (See the movies Air America and The French Connection). Of an interesting and important note, according to former NSA employee Wayne Madsen, during the Vietnam War, current U.S. President Barack Obama’s mother Ann Dunham worked for the CIA-front company USAID which was employed to funnel the black-op funds used to finance the covert Air America and Phoenix Program CIA operations (See the Wayne Madsen Report: The Story of Obama: All in The Company, Part II)]. It is interesting to note that since America’s war in Afghanistan opium production in this sector of the ‘Golden Crescent,’ previously held in check by Taliban forces, has in fact significantly risen to new global highs [begging the question whether or not this war had been waged to reopen the pipeline], and such illicit heroine use [heroine being an alchemical opium derivative] is reaching epidemic proportions here in America today shades of the earlier Vietnam War era]. These wars are but later advents of these earlier Carbonari Opium Wars, had been initiated by false-flag attacks [there being a direct business link between the Bush and Bin Laden families through the CIA-associated Carlyle Group] and can certainly be attributed to continued contemporary Illuminati/Carbonari intrigues)

The 1860s Confederate (Rebel) Civil War General Albert Pike himself: “…became an Oddfellow, some time in the forties (1840’s), and in 1850 entered the Masonic Fraternity… Soon becoming prominent in Masonry he advanced rapidly to the highest honours…Towards this epoch, Pike and (“Pike’s great friend, [Albert] Gallatin”) Mackey (a Charleston, SC physician who served as Secretary General of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States (the Northern Jurisdiction of which was headquartered in Chicago [See p.611 The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross by A.E. Waite]). Mackey was author of the authoritative Encyclopedia of Freemasonry [1874 A.D.]) received the visit of (poet Henry Wadsworth) Longfellow (Albert Gallatin Mackey was a member of the All Souls Unitarian Church** [co-founded by Harvard University grad/Boston architect Charles Bulfinch (it was Bulfinch who designed the Capitol Building in Washington D.C.) and former U.S. President John Quincy Adams, one-time president of Harvard College; All Souls Unitarian Church was at the center of the Abolitionist movement in America playing host to a number of Abolitionist ministers [including Edward Everett Hale, son of American journalist Nathan Hale (a Whig Party member of the Massachusetts State Legislature, he was the nephew/namesake of American Revolutionary War spy Nathan Hale) whose own sister was educated by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Harvard College-grad cousin George B. Emerson at his Emerson School for Girls located in Boston, MA. Another co-founder of All Souls Unitarian Church was Harvardgrad William Henry Channing, a member along with Ralph Waldo 376

Emerson and George Ripley of the Transcendental Club which itself gave birth to Transcendentalism and the Transcendentalist Movement. Notable members of the Transcendental Club include Harvard Divinity School-grad Christopher Pearse Cranch who would marry the sister of T.S. Eliot’s Unitarian grandfather] located in the heart of Washington D.C. over which church Samuel Longfellow, brother of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, once briefly officiated [See the All Souls Website]. Bulfinch also designed the First Church of Christ Unitarian of Lancaster, MA of which church famous Abolitionist Frederick Douglas and Harvard-grad/spy George Bancroft were members). This Longfellow was a Scottish Rites Mason (and fellow Oddfellows member) who, in 1837, had taken up his residence in the United States (it is a Fellow of the Royal Society, Andrew Michael Ramsay, tutor to Prince Charles Edward Stuart [leader of the Jacobite uprising of 1745 A.D.], who is regarded as the godfather of Scottish Rite masonry), becoming the intimate friend and private secretary of Moses Holbrook, then Sovereign Commander of the Supreme Council of Charleston (Charleston, South Carolina, USA was chosen due to its location on the 33° parallel). The intimacy between Longfellow and (“the Jew, Moses”) Holbrook became quickly serious as both had thoroughly studied the occult sciences (as did Pike and Mackey) and enjoyed discussing the mysteries of the Cabala.” - Occult Theocracy by Lady Queensborough Edith Starr Miller (Notable Quotes: “Freemasons and Odd-Fellows, have been used, often against their own knowledge or consent, by the great masters of secret political associations, as so many subordinate cog-wheels in the great machinery of insurrection and rebellion.” - Preface to The Cradle of Rebellions by Lucienne De La Hodde, a “member of the detective police,” 1864 A.D. Indeed: “Nothing is so dangerous as a mystic Association. The object remaining a secret in the hands of the managers, the rest simply put a ring in their own noses, by which they may be led about at pleasure…” – Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D.) (**This Harvard-associated church has long had a seminal influence on American history. During World War I, All Souls congregants furnished an ambulance for the Red Cross operating through the Harvard-associated American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps and, even later under the leadership of Rev. Arthur Powell Davies was at the forefront of the post-WWII Civil Rights and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Movements. Davies own successor, Rev. Duncan Howlett [senior minister from 1958 - 1968 A.D.] would lead in excess of 1000 people from All Souls Unitarian Church to the Lincoln Memorial during the ‘March on Washington’ taking place on August 28, 1963 A.D. marking the 100th anniversity of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation [this March, organized by A. Philip Randolph (a business associate of Chandler Owen, a former speech writer for New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey), is widely credited with helping to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 A.D. along with the Voting Rights Acts of 1965 A.D. granting equal rights to African-American citizens]. It was during this ‘March on Washington’ that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. [a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War] delivered his famous I Have a Dream speech. Of a related note, a Boston-born All Souls assistant minister named Rev. James Reeb would be murdered in Selma, Alabama in 1965 A.D. during a civil rights protest protesting Southern segregationist Jim Crow laws. Rev. Duncan Howlett of All Souls 377

Unitarian Church would himself lead the Unitarian charge against the Vietnam War—All Souls Unitarian Church members would form committees to oppose the Vietnam War and large numbers of All Souls members would participate in Vietnam War protest rallies. All Souls even helped to temporarily house the many out-of-town Vietnam War protesters who had descended upon Washington, D.C. [See the All Souls’ website]. Perhaps amongst these was Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger himself along with his magical hippie entourage during the infamous Vietnam War-era protest known as the ‘March on the Pentagon’)

These men studied the Cabala/Kabala/Qabalah as first taught to the fallen angels by God (before their fall) who then taught these mysteries to select members of mankind when they descended to our Earth. The Independent Order of Oddfellows (I.O.O.F.) is in existence today in both Britain and the United States (in the U.S. it is organized as a Mutual Benefit Corporation), and in about 27 other countries around the world.

Related to Freemasonry is Rosicrucianism. The Freemason’s Rosicrucian brothers (as well as the Oddfellows) are fellow players in the greater Theosophical Movement. The word ‘Rosicrucian’ is German for ‘Rose Cross.’ The 18th Degree in Freemasonry is commonly known as the Rose-Croix (‘Croix’ is French for ‘Cross’), a fact showing their relation to and establishing a link between these two otherwise seemingly diverse organizations. Dr Sigismund Bacstrom, an important Rosicrucian scholar of the alchemical sciences, wrote in Bacstrom’s Rosicrucian Society (circa late 18th to early 19th Centuries A.D.) of “the August most ancient and most learned (Rosicrucian) Society, the Investigators of Divine, Spiritual and Natural Truth (which Society, more than two centuries and a half ago, did separate themselves from the Freemasons…).” Or rather, was an outgrowth of it. This separation was, however, nothing more than cosmetic, and perhaps even job specific. Factions and cells are often peeled off under the ruse of a schismatic break with an entirely hidden agenda unscrupulously in mind. In Treason in America p.516 we are told of an international meeting of Rosicrucians which took place in Paris during the 19th Century which included the Spiritualist U.S. cabinet member Ethan Allen Hitchcock [nephew of Swedenborgian Spiritualist MajorGeneral Ethan Allen Hitchcock], Secretary of the Interior under Presidents William McKinley (Oddfellow) and Theodore Roosevelt (also an Oddfellow) and head of the United States organization of Rosicrucians, and Edward Bulwer-Lytton, British Secretary of State for the Colonies (colonial minister under the Illuminus Lord Palmerston), and Carbonari member Napoleon III, the pro-Confederate States Emperor of France, and the Carbonari-affiliated Oddfellow/Confederate General Albert Pike, the Freemasonic Scottish Rite Leader. Ethan Allen Hitchcock lived in St. Louis with a “spiritualist colleague” named William Torrey Harris, the United States Commissioner of Education (as is evidenced in William Torrey Harris’ Introduction to the Study of Philosophy, psychology is a natural outgrowth of philosophy,** particularly as concerns the ‘will,’ which is to say, the mental constructs of the magician [** philosophy is itself predicated largely on arcane magic practices as we shall soon discover and elements of behavioral psychology fall well within the magic camp. In fact, in keeping with their anti-Christian agenda, Freudian psychologists hold religious beliefs of any kind to be 380

a wholly neurotic disorder]). One may indeed therein recognize the modus operandi of an Illuminus hidden hand. Control the education, mold the mind. And if all else fails one may commit it to an asylum. The geopolitical landscape as it existed from the mid to late 19th Century in Europe and on so many colonized continents was molded entirely by the Freemasonic intrigues of the Scottish Rite Freemasons under the command of the Illuminati Lord Palmerston. Certainly Freemasonry played a central role in fueling the Civil War in America. (Enter): The Dawn of Magic (aka The Morning of the Magicians) “About the year 1880, in France, in England and in Germany some secret societies of Initiates and members of hermetic orders were founded to which a number of very influential people belonged. The story of this mystical post-romantic (post-Romantic Era) crisis has not yet been written. It deserves to be, as it might throw light upon the origin of several important trends of thought which have determined certain political tendencies. In two letters written by Arthur Machen to Toulet (the French poet Paul-Jean Toulet) we find the following remarkable passages (Toulet, who had translated Arthur Machen’s The Great God Pan into French, was a descendant of Charlotte Corday [1768-1793 A.D.], a historical figure from the French Revolution who in 1793 A.D. was executed for the assassination of Jacobin leader Jean-Paul Marat). In the first, written in 1899, he (Machen) says: "When I was writing Pan and The White Powder I did not believe that such strange things had ever happened in real life, or could ever have happened. Since then, and quite recently, I have had certain experiences in my own life which have entirely changed my point of view in these matters....Henceforward I am quite convinced that nothing is impossible on this Earth. I need scarcely add, I suppose, that none of the experiences I have had has any connection whatever with such impostures as spiritualism or theosophy. But I believe that we are living in a world of the greatest mystery full of unsuspected and quite astonishing things." In 1900 he wrote as follows: "It may amuse you to know that I sent a copy of my Great God Pan to an adept, an advanced 'occultist' whom I met in secret, and this is what he wrote me: 'The book amply proves that by thought and meditation rather than 381

through reading, you have attained a certain degree of initiation independently of orders or organizations.'" Who was this "adept?" And what were Machen's "experiences"? In another letter, after Toulet had been to London, he wrote: "Mr. (A.E.) Waite, who likes you very much, asks me to send you his best regards." We were interested to learn the name of this friend of Machen and to discover that he was one of the best authorities on alchemy and a Rosicrucian specialist. We had reached this point in our researches into the intellectual interests of Arthur Machen, when a friend revealed to us the existence in England, at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century, of a secret "initiatory" society of Rosicrucian inspiration. [See Nos. 2 and 3 of the review La Tour Saint-Jacques, 1956: 'L'ordre hermetique de la Golden Dawn' by Pierre Victor.] This society was called the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, and its members included some of the most brilliant minds in the country. Arthur Machen was himself a member. The (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, founded in 1887, was an offshoot of the English Rosicrucian Society (the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia [SRIA]) created twenty years earlier by Robert Wentworth Little (a UGLE Freemason it is important to note), and consisted largely of leading Freemasons (per Freemasonic historian John Yarker: “The Rosicrucian Order in IX degrees [the S.R.I.A., truly a Freemasonic order] was revived in 1866, chiefly by the exertions of [Freemasonic] Brother Kenneth [R. H.] Mackenzie [Kenneth R. H. McKenzie], who had resided in Germany; it has made itself most useful to Freemasons by the publication of papers upon occult and abstruse subjects, of a superior kind, emanating from Scotland, Newcastle, York, and London. The first Supreme Magus was [Freemasonic] Bro. R. W. [Robert Wentworth] Little, whose successor was Dr. [William Robert] Woodman, and the present Chief is Dr. W. [William] Wynn Westcott.” - The Arcane Schools Chapter 11. The S.R.I.A. was composed entirely of Blue Lodge Master Masons of the Illuminati variety, members of which practiced ceremonial magic rituals involving the conjuration and invocation of Azazel’s group of rebel angels, with whom they had established contact and by whom they were being Overshadowed. It must be noted England retained Christianity-based anti-witchcraft laws [Witchcraft Acts] upon its books which specifically forbade such magic practices as witchcraft, sorceries and conjurations in the British Isles in one form or another often mandating the death or imprisonment of the offender from the year 1542 A.D. until their ultimate repeal in 1951 A.D. (it remained a 382

capital offense until the year 1735 A.D.). Such magic practices as illicitly performed by the high-degree Freemasons of the SRIA and by other such cunning persons in England most definitely accounts for the secretive nature of these societies as does the entirely subversive revolutionary activities in which they were involved. One must not underestimate the importance of Masonic influences upon the geopolitical landscape in 19th - 20th Century Europe. Many of the Masons who founded various political factions were in fact closeted ceremonial magicians. The following sentiment was published in 1898 A.D: “To the eyes of an orthodox Latin Christian these remarks of A. E. Waite are the most damning information which proves the Mystico-Magic Luciferianism to be rampant in the English Masonry [“Freemasonry is a nursery of Luciferianism from which promising candidates are selected…” – Blood on the Altar], and it will appear more and more clearly that the object of the SOCIETAS ROSICRUCIANA ANGLICA [SRIA] is to promote this Magico-Mystic Luciferianism. For that purpose in less than 40 years, it spread all the world over.” Luciferian or Satanism in English Freemasonry by L. Fouquet). The latter society (the S.R.I.A.) had about 144 members, including (Edward) Bulwer-Lytton, author of The Last Days of Pompeii. The (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, with a smaller membership, was formed for the practice of ceremonial magic and the acquisition of initiatory knowledge and powers. Its leaders were Woodman (Dr. William Robert Woodman [1828-1891 A.D.] was one of three co-founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He became Supreme Magus of the SRIA after the death of Robert Wentworth Little), (S.L. MacGregor) Mathers (Junior Substitute Magus in the SRIA) and (William) Wynn Westcott (the "occultist" mentioned by Toulet in his letter of 1900 (Wescott succeeded Woodman as Supreme Magus of the SRIA upon his death). It (the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) was in contact with similar German societies (including the German lodge of the Theosophical Society), some of whose members were later associated with Rudolph Steiner’s famous anthroposophical movement (which was itself an offshoot of the aforementioned German lodge of the Theosophical Society) and other influential sects during the pre-Nazi period (Rudolph Steiner [1861–1925 A.D.] was world-famous for his Masonic and Rosicrucian based teachings. In An Outline of Occult Science Chapter VIII [Rudolph Steiner, 1922 A.D.] Steiner professes the existence of “beings of the world of soul and spirit who influence from hidden worlds the outer manifested world,” and that a person 383

who is so attuned “receives influences” which the “beings of the spiritual world convey…to him.” Steiner, a Spiritualist by definition, taught of the existence of the rebellious fallen angels being present upon our Earth, and how it was possible to communicate with them). Later on it (the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) came under the leadership of Aleister Crowley, an altogether extraordinary man who was certainly one of the greatest exponents of the neo-paganism whose development in Germany we have noted (Rudolph Steiner was as well the Austrian Chief of the Ordo Templi Orientis [OTO]. See p.99 Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D.). S.L. (Macgregor) Mathers, after the death of Woodman and the resignation of Westcott, was the Grand Master of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, which he directed for some time from Paris (France), where he had just married (the 1927 A.D. Nobel Prize-winning French philosopher) Henri Bergson’s sister. Mathers was succeeded in his office by the celebrated poet W.B. Yeats (who joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in 1890 A.D.), who was later to become a Nobel Prize-winner (1923 A.D. Nobel Prize in Literature: “…for his always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation,” the inspiring spirit muse whose expressions he put into written form being, of course, the fallen angel Azazel! Yeats in his The Sorcerers (See The Celtic Twilight, 1893, 1902 A.D., 2nd Edition) writes of “persons in Ireland who try to communicate with evil powers…communicating in states of trance with the angelical and faery beings” and who with “simple invocations” of magic command these beings to “go at our bidding, and help or harm people” in a process which he terms an “arcane science.” Yeats therein provides a description of a magic ceremony (including the requisite animal sacrifice) which he attended in Ireland conducted by a ceremonial magician with the assistance of a trance medium (the “two sorcerers” mentioned therein). Yeats took the name of "Frere Demon est Deus Inversus" ('The Devil is the converse of God'). He used to preside over the meetings dressed in a kilt, wearing a black mask and a golden dagger in his belt. (Welsh author and mystic) Arthur Machen took the name of "Filus Aquarti." The (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn had one woman: Florence Farr (Farr was also a member of the Theosophical Society. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is in fact the Theosophical Society’s magic practicing inner circle), Director of the Abbey Theatre and an intimate friend (read: mistress) of 384

Bernard Shaw (formally George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics. Shaw was also associated with the Fabian Society whose membership ranks included many such Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members. Shaw’s teachings form the basis of the modern Labour Party in England. Shaw, most notably enough, was himself a member of the Theosophical Society. According to its entry in Wikipedia: “…the Fabian Society grew to become the preeminent academic society in the United Kingdom in the Edwardian era, typified by the members of its vanguard Coefficients club…Immediately upon its inception, the Fabian Society began attracting many prominent contemporary figures drawn to its socialist cause, including George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells (H.G. Wells was British Director of Foreign Intelligence during WWI. His Allied U.S. counterpart during WWI, head of the Military Intelligence Branch of the U.S. War Department, was the Harvard University grad/Brigadier-General Marlborough Churchill,** a relative of later British Prime Minister Winston Churchill [**Brigadier-General Marlborough Churchill would serve as first president of the the Macy Foundation which would [along with the Rockefeller Foundation] become one of the main conduits of covert funding for the CIA’s MKULTRA operations which they conducted in collusion with their British Intelligence counterparts. To further highlight Harvard’s and the Macy Foundation’s CIA associations, it must be noted that one Macy Foundation administrator, Frank Fremont-Smith, worked in the department of neuropathology at Harvard Medical School [in 1932 A.D., Rockefeller Foundation grants were distributed establishing fulltime departments of psychiatry in teaching hospitals and medical schools including Harvard University]. The Macy Foundation was founded in 1930 A.D. by Kate Macy Ladd whose father had founded an oil firm which would merge with the Rockefeller-owned Standard Oil of New York (prior to working for the OSS, a precursor organization to the CIA, the MKULTRA creator Allen Dulles [son of Allen Macy Dulles, the Macy and the Dulles families being linked by marriage], had served as business manager and lawyer for John D. Rockefeller Sr.’s Standard Oil (John D. Rockefeller’s father, William Avery Rockefeller, Sr., is a descendent of Mary Boleyn [sister of Queen consort Ann Boleyn], Queen Elizabeth I’s maternal aunt. Queen Elizabeth I’s main court advisor, as previously noted, was ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee). John D. Rockefeller Sr. would 385

found the Rockefeller Foundation in partnership with his son, John D. Rockefeller Jr. in New York in 1913 A.D.). John Foster Dulles, brother of Allen Dulles, served as a Trustee of the Rockefeller family’s Rockefeller Foundation from 1935 – 1952 A.D. The Rockefeller Foundation, founder of the Harvard School of Public Health, operated a major program during the 1930s involving the relocation of GermanJewish scholars from German universities to America, including amongst which group was Thomas Mann, whose son Golo Mann would like Allen Dulles serve as a WWII OSS officer; the Rockefeller Foundation also worked closely with The New School of Social Research which itself provided a haven for scholars benefiting from these relocation efforts. A number of Macy Foundation-hosted Macy conference attendees including Paul Lazarsfeld were former Rockefeller Foundation grantees/benefactors of this former relocation effort, and some, including German-Jewish scholar John von Neumann, would become involved in the super secretive Manhattan Project]. Notable Macy Foundation grantees [many of whom would go on to become MKULTRA researchers] included former OSS agent Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead (they being two of the original five core Macy conference participants which would grow to include over 40 such presentators from various fields at 10 such Macy Foundation conferences), prominent cyberneticians of the time involved in the study of a form of systems analysis attributable to the Greek philosopher Plato. The Macy Foundation’s so-called Macy conferences [held from 1946 – 1959 A.D.], which included the study of Gestalt psychology [later showcased at the CIA-associated Esalen Institute], Teleology and other philosophical/magic-based theories, would eventually give birth to MKULTRA itself (the Esalen Institute with which the poster child of CIA agents of influence Gregory Bateson was associated [along with Laurence Rockefeller and a host of well known CIA-associated MKULTRA researchers and test subjects as well] it would seem was likewise originally instituted as an MKULTRA Subproject and is yet still in existence today)] The Dulles brothers’ sister Eleanor was a Harvard grad who married a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow [he would be suicided two years after their marriage] which typically offered Guggenheim Fellowships to individuals associated with the Theosophical Society), (Theosophical Society president) Annie Besant, (social psychologist) Graham Wallas (a leader of the Fabian Society and a co-founder of the London School of Economics.

Halford Mackinder, a member of the Queen’s Privy Council who served as the director of the London School of Economics [of which Mackinder was a founding member] from 1903-1908 A.D. is considered to be one of the founding fathers of geopolitics), Hubert Bland (Hubert Bland chaired the first meeting of the Fabian Society, he also serving as its treasurer), Edith Nesbit (Edith Nesbit was the wife of Hubert Bland; she was a founding member of the Fabian Society, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a member of its successor organization, the Stella Matutina, and was as well a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats and of Lord Dunsany [aka Edward Plunkett who worked with Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats] and was a writer of children’s books including The Magic City), Sydney Olivier (an uncle to British actor Sir Laurence Olivier whose wife Vivien Leigh [aka Lady Vivien Leigh Olivier] starred in Gone With the Wind, a Hollywood film adaptation of a Ben Hecht screenplay. Sydney Olivier would serve as Honorary Secretary of the Fabian Society from 1886 – 1889 A.D.), (Sir) Oliver Lodge (a British physicist/Spiritualist, Oliver Lodge [b. 1851 – d. 1940 A.D.] was a major advocate of the empirical study of the occult sciences who studied such psychical phenomenon as Spiritualism and telepathy; Oliver Lodge was a Fellow of the Royal Society, had been a Ghost Club member as well and had served as president of the London-based Society for Psychical Research [SPR] from 1901 to 1903 A.D.), Leonard Woolf and Virginia Woolf, (P.M.) Ramsay MacDonald and Emmeline Pankhurst (leader of the British suffragette movement). Even Bertrand Russell briefly became a member (it is said Bertrand Russell, a member of a prominent Whig family, was a friend of Nazi Karl Haushofer)…Through the course of the 20th century the (Fabian Society) group has always been influential in Labour Party (political) circles, with members including Ramsay MacDonald (the first British Labour Party Prime Minister; served two terms), Clement Attlee (British Labour politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1945 - 1951 A.D.; Clement Attlee had served as Deputy Prime Minister under Winston Churchill in Churchill’s wartime coalition government and was Labour Party leader from 1935-1955 A.D.), Anthony Crosland (British Labour Party politician, served as Secretary of State for Education and Science, President of the Board of Trade, Secretary of State for Local Government and Regional Planning and Foreign Secretary), Richard 387

Crossman (Labor Party politician/Cabinet Minister), Tony Benn (a British Labour Party politician, former Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister), Harold Wilson (a British Labour Member of Parliament, Leader of the Labour Party and twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom) and more recently (British Prime Ministers) Tony Blair (leading figure in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, a former member of MI5 and a Bohemian Grove attendee [the Bohemian Grove has extensive Theosophical Society associations]) and Gordon Brown (a British Labour Party politician who served as British Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party [2007 - 2010 A.D.]).” The ‘Fabian Socialist’ members of The Fabian Society would give birth to The London School of Economics. Laurence Rockefeller’s brother David Rockefeller, a Bohemian Club member, CFR chairman, reputed CIA agent and co-founder of the Trilateral Commission was a London School of Economics graduate who had also attended Harvard University as well). Other members (of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) included: Algernon Blackwood (a member of the Ghost Club of London [all Ghost Club members were members of British Intelligence]. During World War I, Algernon Blackwood took up spying while reporting to the Scottish Oxford University graduate spymaster John Buchan 1st Baron Tweedsmuir, who became 15th Governor General of Canada (2 November 1935 – 11 February 1940). The WWI British spy Algernon Blackwood was a founding member of the Theosophical Society in Toronto, Canada in 1891 A.D. [he also lived in America for a time], and upon his return to London in 1899 A.D., he joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Theosophical Society’s magic-practicing inner-circle), Bram Stoker (the author of Dracula) (a Theosophical Society-member, Bram Stoker was also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and served as: “…business manager of [Sir Henry] Irving’s Lyceum Theatre, London [whose productions included The Lady of Lyons by Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1878 A.D. Such theatrical groups were popular in America and gave birth to New York City’s Broadway theatre tradition [the Lyceum Theatre prior to this time was managed by James Henry Mapleson for whom SRIA-member Hargrave Jennings (an early proponent of Buddhism) served as secretary (it was members of the SRIA as the reader shall recall that gave birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). James Henry Mapleson’s own nephew, Lionel Mapleson, would go on to serve as Librarian of the 388

Metropolitan Opera located on Broadway in Manhattan, New York City [in 1966 A.D., the Metropolitan Opera would move to the Rockefeller-family associated Lincoln Center of the Performing Arts, built with the aid of a grant from the CIA-associated Rockefeller Foundation (Mahattan also being home to Rockefeller University, founded in 1901 A.D. as the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research). The Metropolitan Opera House as has been noted has various connections to the British spy-filled Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn—and indeed, it was members of the SRIA with which group Hargrave Jennings was associated which would itself give birth to this super-secretive magic order. Prior to his taking over management operations at the Met as it is alternatively called, James Henry Mapleson worked under E.T. Smith (any relation to OTOmember Harry Smith?), manager of the Haymarket Theatre, a West End London theater (which would later host plays penned by Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members Oscar Wilde, J.M. Barrie and Edward Bulwer-Lytton. It was in the West End of London where Aleister Crowley first received his initiation into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [See p.111 The Eye in the Triangle]) whose managers have included John Sleeper Clarke, brother-in-law of actor John Wilkes Booth]. U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a stage actor of such a theater group, while in attendance at such a theatrical production at a theater located in Washington D.C. during the 1860s. John Wilkes Booth was a known Freemason/Oddfellow/Carbonari member. In fact, it was a Carbonari-member named H.P. Blavatsky who would give birth to the Theosophical Society itself, the magic practicing inner-circle of which is the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]…Stoker particularly enjoyed visits to the United States, where Irving was popular (Henry Irving it is imperative to note was the grandfather of Hollywood set designer/art director Laurence Irving, a WWII RAF Intelligence officer who has worked with such Illuminus actors as Oddfellow Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks [Charlie Chaplin was Douglas Fairbanks’ best friend and neighbor], known for designing sets for Arthur J. Rank’s Intelligence fronting Rank Organization film production company as well [Laurence Irving served as art director on the Douglas Fairbanks film The Iron Mask (1929 A.D.) and as production designer on Fairbanks and Mary Pickford’s 1929 A.D. production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew]). With Irving he [Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the 389

Golden Dawn-member Bram Stoker] was invited twice to the White House, and knew both [U.S. Presidents] William McKinley [an Oddfellow] and Theodore Roosevelt [it was Theodore Roosevelt’s friend H.J. Whitley who is considered to be the ‘Father of Hollywood’].” – Wikipedia. Note well this Theodore Roosevelt/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn connection), Sax Rohmer (aka Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward [1883–1959 A.D.], also a member of one of the factions of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This English fictional novelist was best known for his [magic/secret society/spy-themed] Dr. Fu Manchu [a Chinese wizard] detective series, a number of which books were made into Hollywood movies spanning a period of four decades from 1929 – 1969 A.D. [the five 1960s versions of which (circa 1965 – 1969 A.D.) were distributed by Warner Bros./Seven Arts and starred former RAF Intelligence officer Christopher Lee (no doubt the filming of which were used as fronts for various Intelligence operations)]. Sax Rohmer’s lesser known novels include The Romance of Sorcery [published 1914 A.D., his only non-fiction book, written on the subject of magic and sorcery of course, no doubt a topic of major interest to him] and Brood of the Witch Queen [1918 A.D.]. Sax Rohmer was a personal friend of stage magician Harry Houdini), Peck, the Astronomer Royal of Scotland (Peck was also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Note that even at this late date astronomers such as Peck were yet still involved in ceremonial magic practices), the celebrated engineer Allan Bennett (“Charles Henry Allan Bennett (1872 – 1923 A.D.) was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He was a friend, mentor and associate of author and occultist Aleister Crowley” – Wikipedia. Aleister Crowley and Allan Bennett [who lived together for a time while engrossed in magic studies] studied magic under George Pickingill (Crowley and Bennett [as well as Gerald B. Gardner] have had a long association. Gerald B. Gardner himself in 1900 A.D. at the age of 16 professed to have: “…lived in Kandy, Ceylon, next to a bungalow occupied by (Aleister) Crowley and the English Buddhist Allan Bennett [Bennett’s Buddhist monk name was Ananda Mettayya].” - p.238 Turn Off Your Mind [See also Gerald Gardner, Witch]). Alas: “Richard Spence, a consultant for Washington D.C.’s International Spy Museum and author of a biography of the famous spy Sidney Reilly, believes that Crowley was involved in espionage activities for the British Secret Service from his early days as a student at Cambridge University” [See Secret Agent 390

666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult by Richard Spence]. “Richard Spence’s book is a well-researched and fascinating account of the clandestine links between occultists and the secret intelligence services of Britain, Europe and the United States.”), and Sir Gerald Kelly (Sir Gerald Festus Kelly [1879 –1972 A.D.], artist President of the Royal Academy [the Royal Academy of Arts, located in the Piccadilly area of London, England, was founded in 1768 A.D. by King George III. Early students of the Royal Academy included the mystical poet/engraver William Blake]. “His sister, Rose Edith Kelly, was briefly married to Aleister Crowley.” – Wikepedia. Aleister Crowley’s friend Gerald Kelly was in fact a member of British Naval Intelligence). It seems that on these exceptional people the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn exercised a lasting influence, and they themselves admitted that their outlook on the world was changed, while the activities they indulged in (most specifically, ceremonial magic rituals invoking the fallen angels with whom they had established contact) never failed to prove both efficacious and uplifting. The Earth is hollow (the Hollow Earth Theory was popular in Nazi Germany. This theory was based upon the knowledge of the entrapment of Azazel and his angels in his cherub beneath the earth). We are living inside it (their theory was, no doubt, a bit naively, or, most likely, in the interest of disinformation and plausible deniability/intentional idiocy, intentionally flawed). The stars are blocks of ice. Several Moons have already fallen on the Earth. The whole history of humanity is contained in the struggle between ice and fire. Man is not finished. He is on the brink of a formidable (evolutionary) mutation which will confer on him the powers the ancients attributed to the gods (read: the fallen angels). A few specimens of the New Man (the incarnate fallen angels) exist in the world, who have perhaps come here from beyond the frontiers of time and space. Alliances could be formed with the Master of the World or the King of Fear (Azazel) who reigns over a city hidden somewhere in the East. Those who conclude a pact (a magic pact with the devil as it were) will change the surface of the Earth and endow the human adventure with a new meaning for many thousands of years. Such are the “scientific” theories and “religious” conceptions (of the Theosophical Society and its offshoot Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) on which Nazism was originally based and in which (Adolf) Hitler and the members of his group believed—theories which, to a large extent, have dominated social and political trends in recent 391

history (particularly in British Labour Party circles). This may seem extravagant. Any explanation, even partial, of contemporary history based on ideas and beliefs of this kind may seem repugnant. In our view, nothing is repugnant that is in the interests of the truth. It is well known that the Nazi party was openly, and even flamboyantly antiintellectual; that it burnt books and relegated the theoretical physicists (including Albert Einstein) among its “Judaeo-Marxist” enemies. Less is known about the reasons which led it to reject official Western science, and still less with regard to the basic conception of the nature of man on which Nazism was founded—at any rate in the minds of some of its leaders. If we knew this it would be easier to place the last World War (he speaks of World War II) within the category of great spiritual conflicts: history animated once again by the spirit of La Legende des Siѐcles (inspired by the spirit of “The Legend of the Centuries,” a collection of poems by French author and statesman Victor Hugo [a renowned Spiritist whose communications with the spirit world during the sѐances he had attended is well documented in his book entitled Conversations with Eternity; Hugo also authored Les Miserables (a modern-day Broadway staple) and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame which would later be the subject of a Hollywood screenplay]. As we learn from Hugo’s religious epic La Fin de Satan (The End of Satan, 1886 A.D.) where he cryptically writes “with a stone [from heaven]…he [God] hid his [Azazel’s] complices three 'neath the earth,” along with Azazel himself, we discover Hugo was well immersed in the mysteries of Kabala. Of such was the magical substance of the personas inhabiting the so-called Romantic Era of the mid 18th to mid 19th Centuries in Europe). Hitler used to say: “We are often abused for being the enemies of the mind and spirit. Well, that is what we are, but in a far deeper sense than bourgeois science, in its idiotic pride, could ever imagine.” This is very like what (Hollow Earth Theory proponent) Gurdjieff (the Russian ceremonial magician, metaphysician and czarist spy G.I. Gurdjieff) said to his disciple (P.D.) Ouspensky (Ouspensky was an expert in the field of abstract mathematical theory [a prime example of ‘mathematical magic’] and author of The Fourth Dimension [1909 A.D.]. The existence of a fourth-dimension of space is often used to explain parapsychological phenomena (as well as to present the possibility of time travel), as the spirits, it is said, are denizens of this fourth-dimension (See p.72 Magic and Mystery by Alfred Thompson). It was German astrophysicist/psychical researcher/SPR-member Johann Friedrich 392

Zollner, an associate of William Crookes, who first ascribed Spiritualist phenomena to a four-dimensional construction of space [for more information see Zollner’s book, Transcendental Physics (1878 A.D.)], and it was Charles H. Hinton [author of the books What is the Fourth Dimension? (1884 A.D.) and The Fourth Dimension: A Language of Space (1904 A.D.)], a friend of William James, who theorized that fourth-dimensional consciousness was the mental component of the mystical experience) after having condemned science: “My way is to develop the hidden potentialities of man; a way that is against Nature and against God” (Gurdjieff, aka Gregor Ivanovich Gurdyev, met (British) Captain John G. Bennett (“John Godolphin Bennett (8 June 1897 – 13 December 1974) was a British mathematician, scientist, technologist, industrial research director, mystic and author…He is perhaps best known for his many books on psychology and spirituality, and particularly the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff. Bennett met Gurdjieff in Istanbul in 1921, and later helped to co-ordinate the work of Gurdjieff in England after Gurdjieff’s arrival in Paris. He also was active in starting the British section of the Subud movement (an Eastern form of Spiritualism into which he was initiated along with Gurdjieff and his followers when Subud founder Pak Subuh visited Britain in 1957 A.D. [likely as part of an MKULTRA Subproject]), and co-founded its British headquarters (the mother of Alex Sander’s wife Maxine [neѐ Morris] was an influential member of the Subud movement [See p.168 The Rebirth of Witchcraft])…(Bennett served as) Chairman and Director, Institute for the comparative study of History, Philosophy, and the Sciences, Kingston upon Thames, 1946-1959” – Wikipedia: John G. Bennett) in Istanbul, the then head of British Military Intelligence in Constantinople (who would obviously, be subject to and working under the auspices of the head of British Military Intelligence in England). Later, Bennett would become a follower of Gurdjieff and of Ouspensky (See John G. Bennett [1983] Witness). This is yet another magic association with British Intelligence networks. Also known as J.G. Bennett of ‘The Fourth Way’ (‘The Fourth Way’ basically involves a belief in the existence of a Fourth Dimension [what Spiritualist Thomas Lake Harris termed the ‘electro-vital’; See p.217 The Life and Work of Thomas Lake Harris by Arthur A. Cuthbert], that man in effect has ‘fallen’ from a four-dimensional consciousness into its current 3-D state (this belief is largely derived from Franz Hartman’s book, Magic, White and Black, 1886 A.D.[Pertinent Quote: 393

“…there is…a fourth dimension of space, known only to the enlightened…” - Magic, White and Black by Franz Hartmann, 1886 A.D.]); both H.G. Wells and Albert Einstein suggested the fourth dimension was another name for time. Charles H. Hinton believed the fourthdimension to be an extra dimension of space in the form of a parallel universe [from which is derived the mystical belief UFOs/demons/spirits originate from and/or inhabit this parallel universe, or rather, as occult psychical researcher Colin Wilson defines such beings: “interdimensionals from parallel worlds.” From such archaic mystical occult magic beliefs is derived the modern-day quantum mechanical multi-dimensional model of the Universe]), a disciple of Gurdjieff (much of Gurdjieff’s teachings are Sufi-based as Gurdjieff spent time as a teenager studying amongst Yezidi devil worshippers) and the founder of a successful alternative community (a commune) known as Coombe Springs, as well as the Coombe Springs Institute, located in a former laboratory at Kingston-Upon-Thames in southeast London, England. For much of the 20th century, KingstonUpon-Thames was a major military aircraft manufacturing center specializing in the creation of RAF fighter aircraft. Which brings us to Indres Shaw who [as per the ‘official’ version] duped Bennett himself out of his Coombe Springs properties (Bennett was a high-ranking British Intelligence officer; he wasn’t ‘duped’ out of anything. This was simply a cover story and Idries Shah was an Intelligence ‘asset’). The author of Tales of the Dervishes (1967 A.D.), a collection of Sufi legends, the Sufi philosopher: “Idries Shah (1924 – 1996 A.D.) was born in Simla, India… Shah mainly grew up in the vicinity of London…his family moved from London to Oxford in 1940 to escape German bombing… Towards the end of the 1950s, Shah established contact with Wiccan circles in London and then acted as a secretary and companion to Gerald Gardner (another likely British Intelligence ‘asset’/spy), the founder of modern Wicca, for some time… Shah published his first book Oriental Magic in 1956. He followed this in 1957 with The Secret Lore of Magic: Book of the Sorcerers… Shah came to be recognised as a spokesman for Sufism in the West [most notably in the vicinity of Palo Alto, California, at Stanford University, a bastion of the Theosophical Society itself] where he was associated with and lectured as a visiting professor at a number of Western universities [during the 1960s].” - Wikipedia: Idries Shah (According to the Theosophical Society: “Sufism is Theosophy from the standpoint of Mohammedanism.” - The Path – May 1886, C. H. A. Bjerregaard). No doubt 394

Idries Shaw (another individual with a magical background on a long list of mystical individuals who were associated with the British Museum as well as with the Oxford Bodleian libraries, decidedly both British Intelligence and Illuminati in nature, these groups being basically one and the very same) was a major contributing factor to the sad state of affairs of which Christian evangelist Hal Lindsey laments concerning the 1960s resurgence of all things occult in the Introduction to his 1972 A.D. book entitled Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth: “A few years ago I came face to face with a complete reversal in the academic community. An unusual change came over many who had denied any belief in the power of a supernatural God. The indifferent, the scoffers, the proud agnostics in the Age of Rationalism, began to turn to another form of the supernatural. They became involved (under MKULTRA auspices with CIA funding I might add) in psychic research, parapsychology (‘parapsychology’ is, to quote Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn ceremonial magician Israel Regardie in The Eye in the Triangle p.206, but a “new term” for “psychical research”), ESP (Extra Sensory Perception), mystic philosophies, and Eastern religions (including Buddhism and Sufism). Recently there has been a resurgence in all forms of the occult! Witchcraft and Satan worship spread throughout campuses and cities. In America, a so-called civilized country, people are involved in weird [magic/religious] rites and rituals.”) (Writes Gurdjieff’s disciple, P.D. Ouspensky, in Chapter XVI of Tertium Organum, [1922 A.D.]: “[Immanuel] Kant admitted not only the possibility of the existence of a spiritual conscious world, but also the possibility of communion with it.” Hence the title of Whitley Strieber’s book, Communion: A True story: “Communion is a book by American ufologist and horror author Whitley Strieber that was first published in February 1987. The book is based on Strieber’s alleged experiences with non-human, possibly extraterrestrial entities. The book was later made into a film directed by Philippe Mora and starring Christopher Walken as Strieber. A 2008 trade paperback edition presents a new preface by the author. Strieber compares the “familiar” being he sees (a ‘familiar’ is by definition a supernatural spirit being), whom he describes as female, to the Sumerian goddess Ishtar (who of course represents Azazel’s human wife).” – Wikipedia: Communion. But more to the point according to Whitley Strieber’s bio: “Whitley Strieber is a Roman Catholic and was formerly associated with the Gurdjieff Foundation. He left the Foundation shortly before the experiences reported in Communion, but 395

remains interested in the mystical teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky and makes frequent references to them in his non-fiction writings.” Most UFO contactees, you will find, have such occult magic associations giving teeth to the so-called ‘Demonic Theory of UFOs’ [For more detailed information, see The Demonic Theory of UFOs by John of the Gentiles]. And what more is G.I. Gurdjieff’s Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson than the allegorical Theosophical Society tale of Earthly evolutionary interventions by a group of extraterrestrials originating from the Sirius star system who allegedly have been watching over humanity and have been aiding in its progress. The Gurdjieff Foundation is worldwide today, with many chapters in the United States. In 1949 A.D., together with J. (John) G. Bennett (one-time head of British Military Intelligence in Constantinople) and American publisher Jane Heap, Jeanne de Salzmann initiated the startup of an organization which would eventually become the Gurdjieff Foundation. Jane Heap (1883 – 1964 A.D.) importantly enough was owner of The Little Review (Ezra Pound [a friend of W.B. Yeats] acted as its foreign editor in London and Aleister Crowley’s disciple, British author Mary Butts, a friend of Nina Hamnett who had lived and practiced magic with Crowley at his Abbey of Thelema in 1921 A.D. would also see her works published within the pages of The Little Review as well (Mary Butts had even been given co-authorship credit along with Leilla Waddell and Mary Desti [alias Mary D’Este, Mary D’Este Demsey, Mary D’Este Sturges—she was the mother of Hollywood director Preston Sturges whose notable friends included millionaire Howard Hughes whose Hughes Aircraft Company employed Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodgeleader Jack Parsons], for her contribution to Crowley’s Magick (Book 4) published in 1912 A.D. It was Leilla Waddell’s uncle, the Sumerian scholar/British army Major (he was stationed in India)/Fellow of the Royal Society Laurence Waddell who was largely responsible for the “rediscovery of the Sumerian Tradition” of magic which Crowley himself espoused, and Laurence Waddell had authored a book entitled The Buddhism of Tibet or Lamaism [1885 A.D.], another common thread within our story, the empirical study of which system had been championed by Aleister Crowley). Mary Butts was also an associate of T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Hilda Doolittle [H.D.; Doolittle’s husband British poet Richard Aldington, was a friend of D.H. Lawrence; Aldington worked closely with Aldous Huxley on the London literary quarterly Coterie], James Joyce, Sinclair Lewis, Ford 396

Madox Ford [whose friend, Jeanne Robert Foster, was one of Aleister Crowley’s Scarlet Women],Roger Fry, Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein and importantly enough to our story, Kenneth Anger’s friend Jean Cocteau (See The Journals of Mary Butts [2002 A.D.]. Mary Butts, an attendee of the Fabian Society’s London School of Economics (again, the Fabian Society was composed of members of the Theosophical Society along with members of its magic practicing inner-circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), had at one point been married to the poet John Rodker, owner of the short-lived Ovid Press which published books by T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound). The early 1920s would find Mary Butts in Paris, a friend to artist/poet/film-maker Jean Cocteau (for more information see Mary Butts: Scenes from the Life, a Biography [1999 A.D.] by Nathalie Blondel. As we additionally learn from Blondel’s The Journals of Mary Butts: “Her [Mary Butts’] great grandfather Thomas Butts had been one of the patrons of the mystical poet and engraver William Blake…” from whom he had commissioned a series of watercolors, a testament to the Butts family’s Illuminati connections. John Rodker’s daughter Joan would marry RAF pilot/actor Gerard Heinz who has appeared in a number of British Intelligence-run Ealing Studios/London Films/Rank organization films including State Secret [1950 A.D.] with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Mary Butts was also an associate of “the magical adept” Cecil Maitland and Cambridge Apostles-member Robert Trevelyan [an associate of Bertrand Russell, George Santayana and those individuals associated with the Bloomsbury Group], poet son of Sir George Trevelyan, 2 nd Baronet [Ibid p.4]). Jean Cocteau had also collaborated on various projects in Paris with artist/filmmaker Kenneth Anger at one later point in time. Anger had been a neighbor of Jack Parsons who had headed British Intelligence agent Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodge in America) which published many works by influential new writers of the Modernist Movement including Ezra Pound, Theosophical Society members T. S. Eliot and James Joyce as well as those works penned by Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member/ceremonial magician William Butler (W.B.) Yeats (writers all of whom were mutually associated). Jane Heap had met the Russian ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff during his 1924 A.D. visit to New York City. The following year she moved to Paris, France to study at Gurdjieff’s Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. The institute was an esoteric school [read: a school of magic] based on Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way teaching). This idea of the hidden 397

potentialities of Man is fundamental. It often leads to the rejection of science and a disdain for ordinary human beings. On this level very few men really exist. To be, means to be something different. The ordinary man, ‘natural’ man is nothing but a worm, and the Christians’ God nothing but a guardian for worms (“worms of the earth” in the words of OTO-member Franz Hartmann in his book Magic, White and Black). Dr. Willy Ley, one of the world’s greatest rocket experts, fled from Germany in 1933 (1933 A.D. is usually seen as the end of the Weimar Republic and the beginning of Hitler’s Third Reich). It was from him (as revealed in Astounding Science Fiction [May 1947]: ‘Pseudoscience in Naziland’ by Willy Ley) that we learned of the existence in Berlin shortly before the Nazis came to power, of a little spiritual community that is of great interest to us. This secret community was founded, literally, on (Edward) Bulwer-Lytton’s novel The Coming Race. The book describes a race of men (of incarnate angels) psychically far in advance of ours. They have acquired powers over themselves and over things that make them almost godlike. For the moment they are in hiding. They live in caves in the centre of the Earth. Soon they will emerge to reign over us (again, if the story sounds familiar it is as this is a variation of the story of the angel Azazel who is imprisoned within the earth and who is later to be released). This appears to be as much as Dr. Ley could tell us. He added with a smile that the disciples believed they had secret knowledge that would enable them to change their race and become the equals of the men (incarnate angels) hidden in the bowels of the Earth (a decidedly Theosophic belief evolutionarily speaking. This is however the same promise the serpent made to Eve as related in Genesis 3:4, namely, that if she should follow his advice, they too would become like gods, that she and Adam would then be like the immortal angels themselves! The Bible forewarns us of such deceitful tactics: “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted…” - 2Corinthians 11:3. And through such cunning subtleties corrupted their minds had become. Those who believe the alien fallen angels will help them in an evolutionary sense to become as gods themselves are very gravely mistaken: “…these ‘aliens’ (the fallen angels are in essence aliens) do not care if we live or die; they are actively seeking our destruction. They are demonic powers whose sole purpose is to work toward the destruction of man and the overthrow of God’s kingdom… They are promising evolutionary progress to a god-like existence (as did the 398

serpent beguile Eve in the Garden of Eden [See Genesis 3:1-5]). Instead they will bring people down to destruction.” – p.221 UFO End-Time Delusion by Lewis/Shreckhise, 1991 A.D.)… This Berlin group called itself The Luminous Lodge, or The Vril Society. The vril [the notion of the 'vril' is mentioned for the first time in the works of the French writer Jacolliot, (Louis Jacolliot [October 31, 1837 – October 30, 1890 A.D.], author of Occult Science in India) French Consul in Calcutta under the Second Empire] (the British Second Empire period incorporates the years 1783–1860 A.D.) (Theosophical Society founder and Spiritualist medium Helena Blavatsky quotes from Louis Jacolliot’s works in her book Isis Unveiled. Louis Jacolliot held there was an: “…intimate connection that exists between the doctrines of the ancient Jewish Cabalists and those of the Hindu votaries of the Pitris— or spirits (with whom Hindu mediums and Yezidi adepts communicated; the word ‘Pitris’ is an anagram of the word ‘spirit.’ As Rollo Ahmed explains in The Black Art: “Fakirs [Yezidi adepts, also known as Sufis and whirling dervishes] make frequent reference to the ‘Pitris,’ and attribute much of their powers to the influence of these spiritual beings. The latter [‘Pitris’] are not elementals but spirits of the Genii order… It is these that the orthodox Christian world calls ‘Angels.’” In Islam they are known as the Jinn. The so-called Pitris with whom Sufi adepts were in contact were rebellious fallen angels, exiled to our Earth)…” - Occult Science in India by Louis Jacolliot, 1919 A.D. The Theosophical Society introduced ancient Eastern Spiritualism practices to the relatively modern Western Spiritualism Movement) is the enormous energy of which we only use a minute proportion in our daily life, the nerve-centre of our potential divinity. Whoever becomes master of the vril will be the master of himself, of others round him and of the world (the vril force [aka the ELF wave] is known in The Bible as the “spirit of error”). This should be the only object of our desires, and all our efforts should be directed to that end (the development of America’s new directed-energy weapons systems [including the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) and the Active Denial Weaponry system] which operate on a physiological level utilizing various wave length frequencies are in fact the very fruits of the psychotronic magical labors of which this passage speaks). All the rest belongs to official psychology, morality, and religions and is worthless. The world will change: the Lords (Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels) will emerge from the centre of the Earth. Unless we have made an alliance with them 399

and become Lords (the evolutionary equals of the angels) ourselves, we shall find ourselves among the slaves, on the dung-heap that will nourish the roots of the New Cities (of the New World Order) that will arise (the members of the Theosophical Society and its associated magic societies and political offshoots have made such an alliance/magic pact with these angels, and consider themselves to be the very nucleus of this so-called Coming Race). The Luminous Lodge had associations with the theosophical (including the Theosophical Society and the Anthroposophical Society) and Rosicrucian groups. According to Jack Fishman, author of a curious book entitled The Seven Men of Spandau, (Thule Society member and German Nazi General) Karl Haushofer (August 27, 1869 – March 10, 1946) (Karl Haushofer was the teacher/mentor of Rudolph Hess, Adolf Hitler’s Deputy in the Nazi Party. Haushofer who had been a student of the Russian magician and metaphysician Gregor Ivanovich Gurdyev [G.I. Gurdjieff]) was a member of this (Freemasonic) lodge (of The Luminous Lodge) (also known as the Vril Society, by definition a Hermetic Order/Hermetic Society). We shall have more to say about him later, when it will be seen that his association with this Vril Society helps to explain certain things. The reader will recall that the writer, Arthur Machen, we discovered was connected with an English society of (magic) Initiates, the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn. This neo-pagan society, which had a distinguished membership, was an offshoot of the English Rosicrucian Society (he speaks of course of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia** [SRIA, a Rosicrucian society in England], founded by [Robert] Wentworth Little [b.1840 – d.April 11, 1878 A.D.]) in 1867 (** “…derived from the 18th century German Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross… The society claims a link to the original Rosicrucian Brotherhood and bases its teachings on those found in the Fama and Confessio Fraternitas published in the early 17th century in Germany.” – Wikipedia. Indeed, as noted in The Eye in the Triangle p.63 by Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Israel Regardie, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order was a: “Hermetic Society whose members are taught the principles of Occult Science and the Magic of Hermes…whose origin is traced to the Fratres Roseae Crucis of Germany…,” aka the Rosicrucian’s Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross**). (** “The Order of the Golden and Rosy Cross [Orden des Gold- und Rosenkreutz, also known as the Fraternity of the Golden and Rosy Cross] was a German Rosicrucian organization reconstituted in the 1750s by Freemason and alchemist 400

Hermann Fichtuld [as originally founded by Samuel Richter in 1710 A.D. in Prague with the publication of his book The True and Complete Preparation of the Philosopher’s stone of the Fraternity of the Golden and Rosy Cross]. Candidates were expected to be Master Masons in good standing [the SRIA was its British counterpart]. Alchemy was to be a central study for members [eventually, I should think, giving birth to the amalgamation of chemical companies making up the I.G. Farben chemical company in Germany which manufactured the ‘Zyklon B’ concoction used by the Nazi’s to gas millions of Jews during WWII]. Much of the hierarchical structure for this order was used in S.R.I.A. and from there, the [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn.” - Wikipedia) Little (and his group of British Master Masons in the S.R.I.A.) was in contact with the German Rosicrucians. He recruited his followers, to the number of 144, from the ranks of the higher-ranking Freemasons (the SRIA was a magic group composed of Blue Lodge Master Masons). One of his (Robert Wentworth Little’s) disciples was (Edward) Bulwer-Lytton. Bulwer-Lytton, a learned man of genius, celebrated throughout the world for his novel The Last Days of Pompeii, little thought that one of his books, in some ten years’ time, would inspire a mystical pre-Nazi group in Germany (or did he, seeing he was a major player in a vast Illuminati conspiracy?). Yet in works like The Coming Race or Zanoni (formally Zanoni: A Rosicrucian Tale [by Sir Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, 1842 A.D. The Guardian/Dweller of the Threshold (compare to H.P. Lovecraft’s ‘fictional’ Lurker at the Threshhold Yog-Sothoth of the Cthulhu Mythos) of which Bulwer-Lytton writes is in his own words a fictional representation of none other than “the Snake which tempted Eve” who is the Genesis serpent Azazel (Indeed, as Rollo Ahmed notes in The Black Art p.53: “The Seraphim figured among the angels. These spirits were also referred to as ‘fiery serpents,’ and were identified as the guardians…synonymous with the ‘Threshold Dwellers’ of other theologies.” [Author’s Note: The ‘Dwellers of the Threshold’ is a veiled reference to the angels/cherubim said to have been appointed by God to block man’s re-entrance into the Garden of Eden, thereby keeping him from attaining a God-like nature (See Genesis 3:22-24). The angels/cherubim of which Genesis speaks are the fallen angels themselves]). For more information concerning the Guardian of the Threshold, also known as the Angel of Death, see pp.77-86 Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and its Attainment (1944 A.D.), by Theosophical Society-member/Anthroposophical Society-founder 401

Rudolph Steiner (as well as Magic, White and Black pp.40-42 by Franz Hartmann, a book which would have a major influence on Rudolph Steiner’s own mystical teachings). Rudolph Steiner therein makes reference to Bulwer-Lytton’s Zanoni. As Rudolph Steiner elaborates in his A Road to Self-Knowledge: “Behind the outer world of ordinary life there is another (generally refered to as the ‘Otherworld’). Before the threshold of this world a stern guardian is standing (by which being one is confronted and presumably must pass as well as propitiate as he attempts to cross over to the spiritual world [from manhood to godhood] which was believed by some to be a parallel dimension [aka the ‘spirit world’ and the ‘Otherword’], a being who Steiner identifies as “the guardian of the threshold,” an occult reference to the guardian angel Azazel), who prevents man from knowing what the laws of the supersensible world (the “elemental,” spiritual world) are.”]), he set out to emphasize the realities of the spiritual world, and more especially, the infernal world (where Azazel lay imprisoned within the earth). He considered himself an Initiate (which immediately brings to mind Plato’s remark: “The wand-bearers are many, but the initiates are few,” although Bulwer-Lytton, as evidenced by his writings, was truly an Initiate). Through his romantic works of (fact masqueraded as) fiction (“It is a curious fact that…there has been a considerable presentation of western occult teaching under the guise of fiction.” – p.152 The Rebirth of Witchcraft. This fact is especially exemplified by the writings of Edward Bulwer-Lytton and H.P. Lovecraft) he expressed the conviction that there are beings (he speaks of the incarnate angels) endowed with superhuman powers. These beings will supplant us and bring about a formidable mutation (an evolutionary advancement) in the elect of the human race. We must beware of this notion of a mutation. It crops up again with Hitler, and is not yet extinct today (manifesting most notably in the Human Potential movement in existence at time of writing). Hitler’s aim was neither the founding of a race of supermen, nor the conquest of the world; these were only means towards the realization of the great work** he dreamed of. His real aim was to perform an act of creation, a divine operation (read: a magical working), the goal of a biological (evolutionary) mutation which would result in an unprecedented exaltation of the human race and the “apparition of a new race of heroes and demigods and god-men” (Dr. Achille Delmas) (** Pertinent Quote: “The attempt to become a god is the Great Work of magic and alchemy.” – p.154 The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish). We must also 402

beware of the notion of the “Unknown Supermen.” It is found in all the “black” mystical (the black magic/goetic) writings both in the West and in the East. Whether they live under the Earth (like Azazel and his angels, said to reside in the ‘Underworld’) or came from other planets (a concept contained in the Ancient Astronaut/Extraterrestrial Hypothesis), whether in the form of giants like those which are said to lie encased in cloth of gold in the crypts of Thibetan monasteries, or of shapeless and terrifying beings such as (H.P.) Lovecraft describes (a concept related to the Ancient Astronaut/Interdimensional Hypothesis), do these “Unknown Supermen,” evoked in pagan and Satanic (magic) rites, actually exist? When (Aurthur) Machen speaks of the World of Evil, “full of caverns and crepuscular beings dwelling therein,” he is referring, as an adept of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, to that other world (the ‘spirit world’/‘Otherworld’) in which man comes into contact with the “Unknown Supermen.” It seems certain that Hitler shared this belief, and even claimed to have been in touch with these “Supermen” (Hitler, a Spiritualist medium, was in actual communication with the fallen angel Azazel!). We have already mentioned the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn and the German Vril Society. We shall have something to say later about the Thule Group. We (unlike this author) are not so foolish as to try to explain history in the light of secret societies. What we shall see, curiously enough, is that it all “ties up,” and that with the coming of Nazism it was the “other world” (synonymous with the ‘underworld’ in reference to the place where Azazel is entrapped) which ruled over us for a number of years (the possibility as well exists, as the American radio talk show host George Noory wryly alludes in one of The History Channel’s Ancient Aliens episodes, that aliens [read: incarnate fallen angels, Nordic Aryan in appearance] themselves donned Nazi uniforms. A rather interesting side-note to this deduction is the curious case of Barney and Betty Hill who in 1961 A.D. allegedly encountered the humanoid occupants of a UFO who had dressed themselves up in what was described as ‘Nazi’ uniforms (See Interrupted Journey [1966 A.D.] by John G. Fuller). In a nod to this belief, one line from the muse-inspired song Sympathy for the Devil released in 1968 A.D. has ‘Lucifer’ in his own words revealing: “I drove a tank, held a general’s rank when the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.”). That (other) world has been defeated (by the Allies’ defeat of the Nazis in WWII), but it is not dead, either on the Rhine (in Germany) or elsewhere. And there is nothing alarming about it: only 403

our ignorance is alarming. We pointed out that Samuel Mathers (S.L. MacGregor Mathers) was the founder of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn. Mathers claimed to be in communication with these “Unknown Supermen” (read: Mathers claimed to be in communication with Azazel’s group of fallen angels) and to have established contact with them in the company of his wife, the sister of Henri Bergson (a good friend of Harvard University professor William James, a man, as the reader shall discover, who had extensive Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn associations. In Boston it is said: “…before Hitler there was Harvard.”). Here follows a page of the manifesto addressed to “Members of the Second Order” in 1896: “As to the Secret Chiefs (Azazel’s group of rebellious fallen angels) with whom I (Mathers) am in touch and from whom I have received the wisdom of the Second Order (he speaks in reference to the conjured “spirits” [read: angels] of the “second Order” as mentioned in Mather’s own translation of The Key of Solomon black-magic grimoire which contains the system of magic he himself employed to establish contact with these angels) which I communicated to you, I can tell you nothing. I do not even know their Earthly names, and I have very seldom seen them in their physical bodies.... They used to meet me physically at a time and place fixed in advance (while impossible to ‘physically’ meet with Azazel and his group, who are ‘physically’ imprisoned within the earth, it is quite possible he may have met with other incarnate fallen angels from Satan’s group of rebel angels, though the angels are in fact through the use of ELF waves able to project illusory phenomenon to the individuals they are Overshadowing). For my part, I believe they are human beings (in fact they are humanoid incarnate angels) living on this Earth, but possessed of terrible and superhuman powers (the reality of the situation is that they are in fact in possession of highly advanced technologies)... My physical encounters with them have shown me how difficult it is for a mortal, however ‘advanced,’ to support their presence... I do not mean that during my rare meetings with them I experienced the same feeling of intense physical depression that accompanies the loss of magnetism. On the contrary, I felt I was in contact with a force so terrible that I can only compare it to the shock one would receive from being near a flash of lightning during a great thunderstorm, experiencing at the same time great difficulty in breathing... The nervous prostration (compare to the prophet Daniel’s own experience with angels as related in Daniel 10:59,16-17) I spoke of was accompanied by cold sweats and bleeding 404

from the nose, mouth and sometimes the ears.” Hitler was talking one day to Rauschning, the Governor of Danzig, about the problem of a mutation of the human race. Rauschning, not possessing the key to such strange preoccupations, interpreted Hitler’s remarks in terms of a stock-breeder interested in the amelioration of German blood. “But all you can do,” he replied, “is to assist Nature and shorten the road to be followed! It is Nature herself who must create for you a new species. Up till now the breeder has only rarely succeeded in developing mutations in animals—that is to say, creating himself new characteristics.” “The new man is living amongst us now! He is here!” exclaimed Hitler, triumphantly. “Isn’t that enough for you? I will tell you a secret. I have seen the new man. He is intrepid and cruel. I was afraid of him.” “In uttering these words,” added Rauschning, “Hitler was trembling in a kind of ecstasy.” It was Rauschning, too, who related the following strange episode, about which Dr. Achille Delmas, a specialist in applied psychology, questioned him in vain: It is true that in a case like this psychology does not apply: “A person close to Hitler told me that he wakes up in the night screaming and in convulsions. He calls for help, and appears to be half paralysed. He is seized with a panic that makes him tremble until the bed shakes. He utters confused and unintelligible sounds, gasping, as if on the point of suffocation (experiencing a difficulty in breathing). The same person described to me one of these fits, with details that I would refuse to believe had I not complete confidence in my informant (compare to known instances of demonic possession). Hitler was standing up in his room, swaying and looking all round him as if he were lost. ‘It’s he, it’s he,’ he groaned, ‘he’s come for me!’ His lips were white; he was sweating profusely. Suddenly he uttered a string of meaningless figures, then words and scraps of sentences (aka glossalalia, more commonly known as ‘speaking in tongues’). It was terrifying. He used strange expressions strung together in bizarre disorder (compare to the Beatnik poet’s ‘cut-up’ technique). Then he relapsed again into silence, but his lips still continued to move. He was then given a friction and something to drink. Then suddenly he screamed: ‘There! there! Over in the corner! He is there!’—all the time stamping with his feet and shouting. To quiet him he was assured that nothing extraordinary had happened, and finally he gradually calmed down. After that he slept for a long time and became normal again...” [Hermann Rauschning: Hitler m'a dit. Ed. Co-operation, Paris, 1939. Dr. Achille Delmas: Hitler, essai de biographie psycho- pathologique. 405

Lib. Marcel Rivimere, Paris, 1946]. We leave it to the reader to compare the statement of Mathers, head of a small neo-pagan society (the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) at the end of the nineteenth century, and the utterances of a man (Hitler) who, at the time Rauschning recorded them, was preparing to launch the world into an adventure which caused the death of twenty million men. We beg him not to ignore this comparison and the lesson to be drawn from it on the grounds that the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn and Nazism, in the eyes of a ‘reasonable’ historian, have nothing in common (au contriere! the common denominator is fallen angels as well as other, quite human, Rosicrucian links). The historian may be reasonable, but history is not. These two men shared the same beliefs: their fundamental experiences were the same, and they were guided by the same force (the Vril/Odic force/the ‘spirit of error’/ELF waves/Overshadowing/demonic possession/mental manipulation/mind control). They (Mathers and Hitler) belong to the same trend of thought and to the same religion (Theosophy). This religion has never up to now been seriously studied. Neither the Church nor the Rationalists—that other Church—have ever allowed it. We are now entering an epoch in the history of knowledge when such studies will become possible (due, I might add, to the ‘magic’ of the Computer/Internet Age) because now that reality is revealing its fantastic side, ideas and techniques which seem abnormal, contemptible or repellent will be found useful in so far as they enable us to understand a ‘reality’ that becomes more and more disquieting. We are not suggesting that the reader should study an affiliation Rosy Cross-Bulwer Lytton-Little-Mathers-Crowley-Hitler, or any similar association which would include also Mme. Blavatsky and Gurdjieff (though they are as a group all in fact quite interrelated). Looking for affiliations is a game, like looking for ‘influences’ in literature; when the game is over, the problem is still there. In literature it’s a question of genius; in history, of power. The (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn is not enough to explain the Thule Group, or the Luminous Lodge (also known as the Vril Society), the Ahnenherbe (an occult magic-practicing Nazi think-tank). Naturally there are cross-currents and secret or apparent links between the various groups, which we shall not fail to point out. Like all ‘little’ history, that is an absorbing pastime. But our concern is with ‘big’ history. We believe that these societies, great or small, related or unrelated, with or without ramifications, are manifestations, more or less apparent and more or 406

less important, of a world other (a play on the term ‘Otherworld’) than the one in which we live. Let us call it the world of Evil, in Machen’s sense of the word. The truth is, we know just as little about the world of Good. We are living between two worlds, and pretending that this ‘no-man’s-land’ is identical with our whole planet. The rise of Nazism was one of those rare moments in the history of our civilization, when a door was noisily and ostentatiously opened on to something ‘Other.’ What is strange is that people pretend not to have seen or heard anything apart from the sights and sounds inseparable from war and political strife. All these movements: the modern Rosy-Cross, (the Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn, the German Vril Society (which will bring us to the Thule Group where we shall find Haushofer, Hess and Hitler) were more or less closely associated with the powerful and well organized Theosophical Society. Theosophy added to neo-pagan magic an oriental setting and a Hindu terminology. Or, rather, it provided a link between a certain oriental Satanism and the West. Theosophy was the name finally given to the whole vast renaissance in the world of magic that affected many thinkers so profoundly at the beginning of the (20 th) century… might there not be, behind all these movements, something far more dangerous which their leaders perhaps know nothing about, being themselves in turn the unconscious tools of a higher power?” (the higher power is of course, the fallen angels) - The Dawn of Magic by Louis Pauwells & Jacques Bergier 1st published in France under the title “Le Matin des Magiciens” 1960 by Editions Gallimard, Paris From: ‘www.mt.net/~ watcher/hitleraliengoldendawn.html

(This final sentiment was lifted word for word from Renѐ Guenon’s Theosophism, History of a Pseudo Religion [1921 A.D.] which likewise begs the question: “...might there not be, behind all these movements, something far more dangerous, which their leaders perhaps know nothing about, being themselves in turn the unconscious tools of a higher power?” Renѐ Guenon believed the Theosophical Society itself to be the tool of British Intelligence, to which conclusion I myself most certainly do agree, which is in itself a tool of the Illuminati/Illuminated Freemasonry [Carbonari], which is in fact international in scope [certainly as evidenced by the CIA’s and British Intelligence’s MKULTRA collusions]). (It must be noted during the World War II German Blitz, as many cities in Britain were being bombed into oblivion, Oxford [where is located Oxford University, ground zero of the magic movement in England from its earliest beginnings] was itself miraculously spared, this being attributed 407

interestingly enough to “the magical properties of the bells in the belfries of Oxford.” I must say that those who believed this lie must have had bats in their own belfries, though the world of magic, no doubt, did in fact play a part. At any rate, according to Nicolas Remy in Demonolatry (1595 A.D.), bells were said to be able to thwart the machinations of the devil [no doubt in reference to the fact the sound waves emitted thereby interfered with the ELF waves projected by the fallen angels as employed in the Overshadowing process] and bells were sometimes used as a means to excorcise demons, hence the term ‘Bell, book and candle.’ Historically speaking, excorcisms outside of the Roman Catholic realm have traditionally been executed by magicpracticing Shamans) (Many esoteric/occult roads lead to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO, established in 1945 A.D.], heir to the League of Nations’ International Commission on Intellectual Cooperation [ICIC (pronounced Isis), established in 1922 A.D.], which included as an august member Nobel prize-winner Henri Bergson [Henri Bergson’s sister was married to S.L. Macgregor Mathers, Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Mathers, it must be remembered, was the very same ceremonial magician who had successfully contacted Azazel in the presence of Henri Bergson’s sister]. The ICIC included such distinguished members as Royal Society Foreign Member Albert Einstein [who had connections with the Aleister Crowley-connected OTO in Pasadena, California], Thomas Mann [Nobel prize winning author of such books as The Magic Mountain (1922 A.D.) and Mario and the Magician (1929 A.D.)] and Spanish diplomat Salvador de Madariaga, Professor of Spanish at Oxford University [he earned his Masters of Arts at Oxford University], later appointed ambassador to the United States of America and permanent delegate to the League of Nations. The first Director-General of UNESCO was Dr. Julian Huxley [who was, it is important to note, the brother of British mystic Aldous Huxley]. According to Wikipedia: “[Dr. Julian] Huxley also presided over the founding Congress of the International Humanist and Ethical Union [the IHEU;** included in the IHEU is the National Secular Society (founded 1866 A.D.) of ex-Christian atheist Charles Bradlaugh, an English Spiritualist and member of the Committee of the London Dialectical Society appointed in 1869 A.D. to investigate Spiritualist psychical phenomenon, which society held séances with renowned Scottish medium Daniel D. Home (D.D. Home spent time hosting séances in the court of Carbonari-member Napoleon III [See 408

p.471 The Occult], Emperor of France and a member of the House of Beauharnais, who himself was a patron of the ceremonial magic arts. After his benefactor Napoleon III was imprisoned during the FrancoPrussian War of 1870 A.D., D.D. Home would take a job as a correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper [Ibid p. 476] in San Francisco, CA. Note well this link between the Carbonari and the San Francisco Chronicle, as it was members of this very newspaper staff which would give birth to the Bohemian Club, owners of the Bohemian Grove, at this time in 1872 A.D. The birth of the Bohemian Grove itself must indeed be attributed to the Spiritualist Movement as well, for it was also at this very time during the decade of the 1870s when a member of the Bohemian Club-associated Fowler family, one Lottie Fowler, was herself operating as a Spiritualist medium. Additionally, as Colin Wilson helpfully points out on p.20 Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast: “Helena Blavatsky became a friend of one of the most remarkable mediums of all time, the young American Daniel Douglas Home.” The Theosophical Society-founder H.P. Blavatsky was herself a member of the Carbonari initiated into the order by Giusseppe Mazzini, and Napoleon III’s wife the Empress Eugénie was known to have consulted both H.P. Blavatsky and D.D. Home for Otherworldly advice from spirits during Spiritualist séances. Amongst D.D. Home’s most notable relatives is British P.M. Alec Douglas-Home, Prime Minister of Britain from 1963 – 1964 A.D. (the Prime Minister’s son Robin Douglas-Home would serve as actor Frank Sinatra’s biographer [circa 1962 A.D.] and would be suicided in 1968 A.D.). D.D. Home also had ties to Dr. George Bush [a relative of no less than two U.S. Republican presidents, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, both of whom were members of the Bohemian Club and were Bohemian Grove attendees as well], who played a major role in the Spiritualism Movement in America (For more information, see The History of Spiritualism Vol. I Chapter 9, itself a testament to the interconnectedness of all of these individuals involved in the Carbonari-inspired Spiritualism Movement in America. It was also about this time that the New York City-born Carbonari-associated Spiritualist medium/sex-magic magician Paschal Beverly Randolph would re-establish his own Rosicrucian lodge [the Fraternitas Rosae Crucis] in San Francisco in 1874 A.D. following his tour of California as an evangelist for the Spiritualism Movement proper. Originally founded in 1858 A.D., the Civil War had brought the original lodge’s activities to a halt. Paschal Beverly Randolph [who like Carbonari409

member H.P. Blavatsky and D.D. Home also hosted séances in the court of the Carbonari emperor Napoleon III] had been a member along with H.P. Blavatsky and other Spiritualist mediums of the Hermetic Order of Light [though they would later it is said have a falling out], a number of whose Spiritualist mediums [including H.P. Blavatsky] would then go on to found the Theosophical Society in New York City in 1875 A.D., in the very year Paschal Beverly Randolph was suicided with a bullet to the head [presumably as a result of their recent falling out]. In 1875 A.D., the Hermetic Order of Light/Fraternitas Rosae Crucis would relocate to Philadelphia in Pennsylvania). (**Also included within the IHEU umbrella group at its founding was the American Ethical Union which traces its genesis back to Felix Adler, son of Temple Emanu-El chief rabbi/Talmudist Samuel Adler, himself related by marriage to the Bavarian Goldman/Sachs banking families) In 1874 A.D. Annie Besant had become the vice-president of Charles Bradlaugh’s National Secular Society, a position she held prior to becoming President of the Theosophical Society in London [“In 1880 Bradlaugh was elected Member of Parliament for Northampton (in England)…Bradlaugh’s funeral was attended by 3,000 mourners, including Mohandas Gandhi” – Wikipedia: Charles Bradlaugh] and served with John Dewey [Dewey’s educational concepts would lead to the creation of Black Mountain College in 1933 A.D. (Albert Einstein was a guest lecturer there, as was Allen Ginsberg’s mentor, William Carlos Williams) which would eventually help give life to the Beat Generation of poets and artists], Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann on the founding advisory board of the First Humanist Society of New York. The First Humanist Society of New York was founded in 1929 A.D. by Charles Francis Potter whose advisory board included Julian Huxley [one of Dr. Julian Huxley’s associates of note was the rocket scientist Frank Malina, who along with Caltech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory-founder Jack Parsons had founded a company named Aerojet General. Parsons was at the time running an Aleister Crowley-sanctioned OTO temple (the OTO being an offshoot of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the magic-practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society) out of his home in Pasadena, CA, while working at CalTech (where Albert Einstein for a number of years had been a visiting professor and, as we shall discover, this was not Einstein’s only Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO association] 410

even infamously chanting Aleister Crowley’s magickal Hymn to Pan [as found in Crowley’s Magick in Theory and Practice; Pan = Azazel] before each rocket launch! Parsons corresponded both regularly and directly with Aleister Crowley, even supporting him financially, he being Crowley’s main source of funding at this time). CalTech (purposely located at the 33° latitude in keeping with its occult Freemasonic roots) itself had been founded by a magicpracticing astronomer named George Ellery Hale who claimed to have a magickal Elf, by definition a fallen angel, serving as his advisor [See First Light: The Search for the Edge of the Universe by R. Preston, 1987 A.D.]. As we learn from the book Strange Angel, George Ellery Hale, originally employed as a solar astronomer at the University of Chicago [the University of Chicago was founded 1890 A.D. thanks to a grant from oil magnate John D. Rockefeller. Note the Rockefeller/University of Chicago association], founded an astronomical observatory on nearby Mount Wilson [the Mount Wilson Observatory] which he had christened the ‘Monastery,’ a modern day ‘high place,’ a center of pagan worship: “On the opening night of the facility, Hale and his astronomical colleagues dedicated the building with pseudo-monastic rituals. Women were not allowed entry [as he treated it as a genuine mystical priesthood]. These ceremonies and rules all spoke of Hale’s interest in the mythical aspects of astronomy. The oldest of the sciences, astronomy provided Hale with a link back through history to the ancient [magic] schools of Mesopatamia, Babylon, and Greece…[Hale’s] quasi-religious mission to further his science was well known. The New York Times called him ‘Priest of the Sun’ and ‘the Zoroaster of our time.’ … Hale was endlessly fascinated by astronomy’s links to an ancient world in which the Sun was revered as a god.” George Ellery Hale had indeed styled himself a priest in the magic-practicing Chaldean/Zoroastrian astrologer-priest tradition. Hale was also significantly enough instrumental in the founding of CalTech’s Palomar Observatory on Mount Palomar also located along the 33° latitude whose telescope was built with the help of a $6 million grant from the Rockefeller Foundation [according to Michael Hoffman II in Alchemical Conspiracy and the Death of the West, prior to the construction of Palomar Observatory, Mount Palomar was the site of an OTO temple, it being a mountain traditionally sacred to Native American shamans [many of the alien contacts reported by UFO contactee George Adamski, head of a mystical cult named the Royal Order of Tibet, were said to have taken 411

place in the vicinity of Mount Palomar as well, near to where George Adamski himself ran an observatory at Palomar Gardens Cafe (home to Adamski’s Royal Order of Tibet School of Philosophy and UFO Studies from 1940-1960 A.D.) on the southern slope of Mount Palomar]. As Hoffman additionally notes in his book, CalTech scientist Jack Parsons was a descendent of a founding member of Francis Dashwood’s Hell-Fire Club in England, presumably Richard Parsons, 1st Earl of Rosse, Freemasonic Grand Master of the Grand Lodge in Ireland. Richard Parsons, 1st Earl of Rosse (1702-1741 A.D.), was the son of Richard Parsons, 1st Viscount Rosse (1657-1703 A.D.) and Elizabeth Hamilton, the niece of Sarah Jennings, the Duchess of Marlborough, wife of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough from whom British P.M. Winston Churchill is descended. All things considered, it is quite likely SRIA-head Hargrave Jennings relates to Sarah Jennings as well. The Jennings are related by marriage to the Kennedy family notably enough through Standard Oil of New York (the head of which company was Henry Clay Folger, a first cousin six times removed of Benjamin Franklin and a nephew of J.A. Folger, the founder of the Folger Coffee company) co-founder Benjamin Brewster Jennings whose relative Sheila Brewster Rauch would marry Robert F. Kennedy’s son Joseph P. Kennedy II. Robert F. Kennedy’s brother John F. Kennedy’s wife Jaquelyn Kennedy’s grandfather Hugh Dudley Auchincloss, Jr., a WWII member of the Office of Navy Intelligence (ONI) had helped John D. Rockefeller found Standard Oil]). Frank Malina, after parting company with Jack Parsons, came to work at UNESCO with Dr. Julian Huxley in 1947 A.D.), John Dewey, Albert Einstein (another scientist with a Pasadena/Caltech connection), and Humanist author Thomas Mann. In 1930 First Humanist Society of New York-founder Charles Francis Potter (a minister in the Unitarian tradition) and his wife, Clara Cook Potter, would publish a book entitled Humanism: A New Religion. By definition, a ‘humanist’ is a proponent or practitioner of humanism. Humanism is rooted in and wholly embraces the practice of magic. As previously noted, according to the Italian Renaissance philosopher Count Giovanni Pico della Mirandola writing in what is considered to be the Renaissance Manifesto and a key document of Humanism, in an essay entitled the Oration on the Dignity of Man, states: “…magic has two forms. One consists wholly in the operations and powers of demons, and consequently this appears to me, as God is my witness, an execrable and monstrous thing. The other proves, when 412

thoroughly investigated, to be nothing else but the highest realization of natural philosophy. The Greeks noted both these forms. However, because they considered the first form wholly undeserving the name magic they called it goeteia (black magic), reserving the term mageia (white magic), to the second, and understanding by it the highest and most perfect wisdom… The first (goeteia) is the most deceitful of arts; the second (mageia), a higher and holier philosophy. The former is vain and disappointing; the later, firm, solid and satisfying. The practitioner of the first always tries to conceal his addiction, because it always rebounds to shame and reproach, while the cultivation of the second, both in antiquity and at almost all periods, has been the source of the highest renown and glory in the field of learning. No philosopher of any worth, eager in pursuit of the good arts, was ever a student of the former, but to learn the latter, Pythagoras, Empedocles, Plato and (the Greek alchemist) Democritus crossed the seas.…That first form of magic cannot justify any claim to being either an art or a science while the latter, filled as it is with mysteries, embraces the most profound contemplation of the deepest secrets of things and finally the knowledge of the whole of nature (physics).” (“Renaissance Humanism [14th -15th Centuries] saw a resurgence in hermeticism and other Neo-Platonic varieties of ceremonial magic...Alongside the ceremonial magic followed by the better educated were the everyday activities of folk practitioners of magic across Europe, typified by the cunning folk found in Great Britain.” - themiddleages.net: History of Magic. Falling into this category are the writings of the German ceremonial magician and invoker of fallen angels, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa). Humanist activities are often anti-Christian in nature. It was Cosimo de Medici’s (1389 – 1464 A.D.) translations of the esoteric writings of Neoplatonic, Gnostic and Hermetic texts upon which Humanism was based (the descriptive term ‘Medici’ [a word cognate with both ‘medical’ and ‘medicine’] signifies a ‘physician’ and early physicians such as Cosimo were notorious practitioners of magic) and which defined the Italian Renaissance (beginning at the end of the 13th century and lasting to about 1600 A.D. One must remember that Hermetic texts teach of the existence of the angel Azazel and of his entrapment within the earth and of the fact that he may in fact be contacted, the basis of most magic practices. The esoteric writings which are attributed to Hermes Trismegistus (who was in fact a Graeco-Egyptian god who represented Azazel) formed the foundation of the Renaissance Neoplatonist revival which began 413

when Cosimo de Medici refounded Plato’s Academy at Florence in Italy, an instituition known as the Platonic Academy. Included amongst this group was the aforementioned Cabalist, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola) (However: “As an organized movement, Humanism itself is quite recent – born at the University of Chicago in the 1920s, and made public in 1933 with the publication of the first Humanist Manifesto [note well this Chicago connection; John Dewey was a professor at the University of Chicago]. The American Humanist Association was incorporated as an Illinois non-profit organization in 1943. The International Humanist and Ethical Union was founded in 1952, when a gathering of world Humanists met under the leadership of Sir Julian Huxley.” – Wikipedia: Secular Humanism. A major Humanistic training institute called The Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies was founded in Aspen, Colorado in 1949 A.D. with its central office in New York City founded in order to carry out advanced seminars in global ideology and humanistic [read: magic] studies. The Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies trains “leading officials of the Trilateral Commission, the White House, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation…the World Bank, the Council on Foreign Relations [the CFR]…etc” [See “Global Ideology, Humanistic Studies and the Aspen Institute,” Freeman Digest, Michael Loyd Chadwick, 1979 A.D.]. In America, magicians rule the roost) (Notable Quote: “In his autobiographical account, written years later, [H.G.] Wells [who served as the Director of British Foreign Intelligence during WWI] described the dilemma facing Britain at the time he was attending the monthly sessions of the elite Coefficients Club (which club included leading members of the Theosophical Society [including its then president] and its magic-practicing inner-circle the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). The Coefficients was a cross between a diners club and a modern think-tank, which met monthly over dinners at London’s St. Ermin’s Hotel** (located next to Caxton Hall [which hosted British spy Aleister Crowley’s Rites of Eleusis celebrations in 1910 A.D. Caxton Hall would also play host to numerous UFO lectures by well known UFO contactees during the 1950-60s] which served during WWII as a venue for press conferences held by the Ministry of Information and by P.M. Winston Churchill) from 1902 to 1908. Among the members of this unappetizing group was the powerful Lord Robert Cecil, elder statesman (thrice elected British Prime Minister) of Britain’s most powerful family, and cousin to Arthur Balfour (author of the Balfour Declaration), then serving as Conservative Prime 414

Minister. Lord Alfred Milner, the High Commissioner of South Africa, was a regular (Milner had been along with Lord Rothschild and Cecil Rhodes members of the Rhode’s Round Table inner-circle [in its very essence, a ‘round table,’ as we learn from A.E. Waite in The Mysteries of Magic, has come to denote a ‘magic chain,’ also known as a magic circle]). A factional ally of Milner’s in the serious debate that went on at these affairs was Halford Mackinder, the newly appointed head of the London School of Economics and originator of the doctrine of geopolitics, who Hitler’s ghostwriter for Mein Kampf, Maj.-Gen. Karl Haushofer, acknowledged as his source. Another Milner ally was [Freemason] Leo Amery, later intimate of Winston Churchill (“During the Great War [WWI] his [Leo Amery’s] language skills led to his employment as an Intelligence Officer in the Balkans. Later as an under-secretary in Lloyd George’s national government he helped draft the Balfour Declaration (1917). He also encouraged [and, rather, worked with Ze’ev] Jabotinsky in the formation of the Jewish Legion of the British Army [members of the Jewish Legion included David Ben-Gurion, first Israeli Prime Minister, Israel’s third Prime Minister, Levi Eshkol, Yaakov Dori, Haganah leader and first Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces [IDF], and James Armand de Rothschild, D.C.M. [Distinguished Conduct Medal winner] Major, 39th Royal Fusiliers Battalion and Captain Royal Canadian Dragoons, a member of the Rothschild family. Another member of the Rothschild family, namely Israeli Major General Danny Rothschild, coordinated IDF operations in the early 1990’s]. He [Leo Amery] was First Lord of the Admiralty (1922–1924) under Andrew Bonar Law and Stanley Baldwin then later a very active Colonial Secretary (1924–1929).” – Wikipedia: Leo Amery). The Earl Bertrand Russell was there, sometimes making up a faction of one (Bertrand Russell was a philosopher, mathematician, social activist and logician, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Nobel prize winner in Literature, 1950 A.D., a member of the House of Lords, a member of the Fabian Society as well as a member of the Cambridge Apostles [the radical nihilist Cambridge Apostles group has long been a Cambridge-based Intelligence organization]). The Viscount Edward Grey, a hereditary peer who was to play a crucial role in shaping the post World War I era, attended regularly. Sidney and Beatrice Webb (Webb’s brother-in-law, Malcolm Muggeridge, son of Fabian Society founding member H.T. Muggeridge, was a high-ranking WWII British spy. Sidney Webb (author of the Labour Party’s constitution; founder of the London 415

School of Economics in 1895 A.D.) would serve as Secretary of State in fellow Fabian Society-member/Labour P.M. Ramsay Macdonald’s government), Fabian (Society) socialists (the Webbs were founders of the Fabian Society’s The New Stateman weekly magazine) who would soon embrace Benito Mussolini (Italian dictator and key Hitler ally who was numbered amongst the Axis forces during WWII), were regulars…The charge of Hess’s membership in Buchman’s cult (the Oxford Group Movement/Moral Re-Armament, known for its postwar CIA ties and from which would later branch off the Sequoia Seminar in California following the failure of the group’s pro-Nazi efforts) is both credible and interesting. Long before he met Hitler, Hess was a member of satanist (and British Intelligence agent) Aleister Crowley’s Isis cult, known as the Ordo Templi Orientes (OTO), which crossed over into Crowley’s satanic (Hermetic) Order of the Golden Dawn, popular among students at Cambridge (University) and Oxford (University). Born in Egypt, Hess bought an Egyptian sarcophagus for his burial, but proved too tall to fit in it; when he died, his legs had to be amputated and buried separately. After the Munich putsch of 1923 (when Hitler and Hess were imprisoned for attempting to overthrow the Bavarian Government), Hess shared a jail cell with Hitler for nine months at the same time Mein Kampf was being written, by aid of frequent visits from its real author, Bertrand Russell’s friend Karl Haushofer. Recall that Mein Kampf foresaw an alliance between Germany and England to fight the Russian peril (as Russia had threatened England’s India possessions). It is supposed that Hess helped Hitler, to a deeper understanding of the occult.” - December 20, 2002 issue of Executive Intelligence Review by Larry Hecht) (** St. Ermin’s Hotel which hosted the Coefficient’s Club was a British Intelligence Agency front: “The St. Ermin’s Hotel has a substantial reputation for use by the UK’s secret intelligence agencies. During the 1930s the hotel and the building at 2 Caxton Street were used by officers of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS or MI6) located close by at 54 Broadway to meet agents and is well documented from March 1938 as the headquarters first of SIS’s Section D, headed by Australian George Taylor and then as home of the SOE, working under ‘Statistical Research Department’ cover. Among the more famous personnel known to have worked from offices in the building are Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Laurence Grand, H. Montgomery Hyde and Eric Maschwitz. Throughout the Second World War the building operated as a convenient annex for SIS as it 416

was surrounded by other secret organisations, including the London branch of Government Communications Headquarters (in Palmer Street); MI9 in Caxton Street; the SIS Chief’s office at 21 Queen Anne’s Gate; the SIS offices in Artillery Mansions on Victoria Street and in the basement of St Anne’s Mansions and the MI8 listening post on the roof of what was then the Passport Office in Petty France. In addition, the hotel was used regularly by SIS, MI5 and Naval Intelligence Division case officers, as mentioned in SNOW by Madoc Roberts and Nigel West whilst the SIS also interviewed prospective employees there (usually by Marjorie Maxse, the organisation’s recruiter as detailed in Kim Philby’s autobiography My Silent War). Shortly before the war the hotel was the venue for guerrilla warfare classes run partly by MI6, and amongst those working for ‘King and Country’ within that group at the time was [British playwrite] Noel Coward** [amongst whose works include the 1925 A.D. play Fallen Angels starring Tallulah Bankhead], as well as art expert and member of the Cambridge Five spy ring, Anthony Blunt.” – Wikipedia: St. Ermin’s Hotel [** Known British spy/London West End theater playwrite/actor Noel Cowards’ friends include British spies/actors David Niven and Ian Fleming as well as actor [and probable British spy] Richard Burton (a friend to British spy Laurence Olivier—Olivier’s uncle was a Fabian Society member whose membership ranks were composed of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Stella Matutina members), Elizabeth Taylor (Richard Burton’s London-born actress wife) and (German actress) Marlene Dietrich (Dietrich is known to have been an OSS spy and it is likely Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were spies as well)]. The Coefficient’s Club with its Theosophical Society, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Fabian Society members was a British Intelligence group, as were these societies which were in fact part and parcel. Exemplary of this fact is the son of Fabian Society co-founder H.T. Muggeridge, namely, Malcolm Muggeridge, who was a famous high-ranking WWII British spy [Malcolm Muggeridge was the brother-in-law of Fabian Societymember/London School of Economics co-founder Beatrice Webb]. H.T. Muggeridge was a Labour Party M.P. who served in the cabinet of British Labour P.M. Ramsay MacDonald, likewise a member of the Fabian Society) (Curiously enough [possibly in an effort to distance itself from its roots, or perhaps in an effort to eradicate competition in a power struggle within], the February 2011 issue of the International Humanist News magazine p.10 speaks of the “resolve of the 417

Humanists [propounders of ‘white magic’] to fight the scourge of black magic which inflicts society.” Apparently, to Humanists, white magic presents no such scourge, this quite probably representing an age-old clash between practitioners of black magic against the practitioners of white magic [comparable to that of a white-magic practicing cunning man’s creation of a witch-bottle in order to counteract the evil forces unleashed by the black magic attacks of a witch**]: “…to the secret council of adepts, humanity’s purpose has always been the creation of a race of perfected beings - the superman if you like. This thesis has lead to a widespread conspiracy and indeed struggle between adepts of the black and white brotherhoods, either to preserve the secret agenda of humanity or to mould it to their own ends. In the twentieth century things are said to have come to a head when the struggle between good and evil magi culminated in two brutal world wars (note that Israel was primarily created by practitioners of black magic [goetia], the UN by practitioners of white magic [mageia]. The two have long been at odds).” – Mogg Morgan, 2008 A.D [http://moggmorgan.blogspot.com], an Oxford University graduate and “former member of the [Typhonian] OTO, a founder of the Oxford Golden Dawn Occult Society and a Zonule holder of east/west Tantrik order AMOOKOS. His daytime job is CEO of innovative ‘new age’ publisher Mandrake of Oxford”]) (** One prominent example is: “‘Operation Cone of Power,’ when the witches, as they claim, sent up a force against Hitler’s mind [this magic operation entailed the creation of a magic circle: “This circle (“the witches’ traditional ninefoot circle”) is drawn with the idea of ‘containing’ the ‘power’ which is raised within it, of bringing it to a focus, so to speak, so that some end may be accomplished by raising it. This focusing of force is called ‘The Cone of Power.’” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D.]. This is documentarily an important enough part of the history of witchcraft to quote verbatim from Gardner’s own mouth. He refers to it in both of his witchcraft books, and it has been repeatedly referred to by reviewers and columnists. The most complete details now available are thus: "We were taken at night to a place in the (New) Forest, where the Great Circle was erected; and that was done which may not be done except in great emergency. And the great Cone of Power was raised and slowly directed in the general direction of Hitler. The command was given: ‘You cannot cross the Sea. You cannot cross the Sea. You Cannot Come: You Cannot Come.’ Just as, we were told, 418

was done to Napoleon, when he had his army ready to invade England and never came. And, as was done to the Spanish Armada (during the reign of the witch Queen Elizabeth I), mighty forces were used, of which I may not speak (“The great storm which scattered the Spanish Armada was believed to have been raised by magical means.” – Natural Magic). Now to do this means using one’s life-force; and many of us died a few days after we did this. My asthma, which I had never had since I first went out East, came back badly. We repeated the ritual four times; and the Elders said: ‘We feel we have stopped him. We must not kill too many of our people. Keep them until we need them…’” - Gerald Gardner, Witch by Idries Shah, 1960 A.D. Chapter 13. It is of this very same psychic attack of which Francis King writes in Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism p.178-179 (1989 A.D): “On at least one occasion the (New Forest) Hampshire witches indulged in human sacrifice—but done in such a way that there could not possibly be any legal unpleasantnesses. This was done in May 1940 (quite possibly May Day), when Hitler’s invasion (of England) was felt to be imminent. The witches felt that it was essential that he should be deterred from invasion plans by a powerful ritual, the central point of which was to be the death of a (volunteer) sacrificial victim. The oldest and frailest member volunteered for sacrifice and left off his protective grease (which was employed to protect its user from the cold) so that he might die of the effects of exposure. Unfortunately enough, it was the coldest May night for many years, and not only the volunteer but two other members of the coven died from pneumonia within the next fortnight.” For this reason Theurgy [ceremonial magic] is known as the ‘Telestic Work’ due to the ‘telestic currents’ it was said were manipulated by the concentrated Will of the magician, such as exemplified by Operation Cone of Power, an attempt at the focused broadcast [as the root ‘tel’ would imply] of the ELF waves generated by the mind [the Will] of the magician. The following account is contained in a Q&A in Alex Sanders biography King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders: “Q: In all the time that witchcraft has been worked, have there been no major victories? A: Certainly. When the (Spanish) Armada was sighted in July 1588 (an ill-fated effort by Counter-Reformation forces to invade England to return it to the Catholic fold), witches all over Britain passed the word calling for a grand sabbath to combine their powers. While (Sir Francis) Drake was finishing his game of bowls (Drake was an English privateer/explorer appointed second-in-command of the English fleet 419

in opposition to the Spanish Armada by Queen Elizabeth I), witches from far and wide were risking their lives to meet in small groups and conjure up the north-westerly gale that crippled the ships from the home of the Inquisitors (the Spanish Inquisiton). More recently, when it was thought that the Germans would invade England in the Second World War, another grand sabbat was called. In the New Forest over four hundred witches met to celebrate the grand mass. To increase the potency of their power, they accepted the offer from some of the members to be willing sacrifices, for although our god demands none, it accepts voluntary victims as proof of their faith, as, I suppose, Jesus Christ accepts Christian martyrs. No witch was killed that night but many were scourged with real whips, and some sent out so much of their vital life-force into their familiars that they subsequently died. That week dense mists and fogs obscured the English Channel; the invasion was called off. We believe it was due to witchcraft.” – pp. 126127 King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders by June Johns, 1969 A.D. It is said Aleister Crowley was also involved in Operation Cone of Power (another more publicly waged magical battle conducted against Hitler by Crowley’s friend William Seabrook [author of the then hugely popular Witchcraft: Its Power in the World Today published in 1940 A.D. which provided the inspiration for the soon to be described magic ritual] was reported in the pages of Life magazine in 1941 A.D. and involved “respectable residents of Washington, D.C.” [including Florence Birdseye of the Birdseye frozen-food family] employing shamanic drums supplied by the “U.S. Department of the Interior” all with the express intent of putting a “hex” on Hitler in order “to kill Adolf Hitler by voodoo incantation” [for more information google: ‘Life magazine’s Putting a Hex on Hitler’). Dion Fortune and members of her Society of the Inner Light [originally known as The Christian Mystic Lodge of the Theosophical Society (See p.147 The Rebirth of Witchcraft)] participated in this so-called ‘Magical Battle of Britain’ which occurred during the days of World War II’s ‘Battle of Britain’ in which the RAF played a prominent role [for more information see The Magical Battle of Britain by Dion Fortune]) (The Modernist Movement in keeping with the Illuminati agenda was also influenced by Theosophy and the Theosophical Society: “(Artist) Pablo Picasso, a robust atheist, spent many a turn-of-the-century evening reading tarot cards (smoking opium at the same time gave added piquancy).

In fact, from fin de siecle (French for ‘end of the century,’ in this case, the 19th Century) Paris to 1950s New York (Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock were both one-time disciples of Eastern gurus), a fascination with magic, the occult and the supranatural were integral to the Modernist spirit.” - Art and Theosophy, 2003 A.D.) (Many French artists were at the forefront of the French martial art of camouflage. The word ‘camouflage’ is itself a French word meaning ‘to disguise’ and this practice in its modern sense was first employed to conceal the location of French military forces from prying airborne eyes during World War I. As Nicholas Rankin explains in Churchill’s Wizards: “Camouflage was a new art that painters would help pioneer” and the ranks of these first official army camouflagers would be “drawn from the worlds of theatre, painting, sculpture and design.” French Impressionist painters Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola and Jean-Louis Forain were at the forefront of the French military’s ‘camouflage’ movement [such wartime partnerships 422

between the military and the artistic world would become particularly prevalent during WWII when the French-allied British forces would take such collaborations to new and dramatic heights. As Nicholas Rankin writes in the highly recommended Churchill’s Wizards p.49: “Just as camouflage brought painters, designers and artists into WWI, so the (British) propaganda effort required authors, critics, poets and playwrights to lend a hand.” Of course, such efforts were considered Top Secret and fall into the Intelligence camp category and the British would incorporate the former group [which included theatrical scene painters and theatrical propmakers (Ibid p.119)] into their deceptive schemes as well—this combined group was peopled by many practitioners of magic connected to the Theosophical Society and with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (many of whose members served as British spies) and its offshoot organizations including the OTO]. Such was also the case in American Intelligence circles which closely liasoned with their British Intelligence allies) Hermann Rauschning (August 7, 1887 – February 8, 1982), Governor of Danzig, called Hitler’s brand of government “magic socialism” and Hitler a “high priest of a secret religion.” Indeed, as we read in the pages of The Morning of the Magicians: “…it was under the influence of (Bertrand Russell’s friend) Karl Haushofer that the (Thule) Group took on its true character of a society of Initiates in communion with the Invisible (read: in communication with the rebel fallen angels), and became the magic center of the Nazi movement (which hid beneath the cloak of National-Socialism). Hitler was born in Braunau-am-Inn…an Austro-Bavarian frontier town, where two great German states met…It enjoyed the singular reputation of being the birthplace of a number of (Spiritualist) mediums (as Germanic author Joseph Ennemoser writes in his book The History of Magic circa. 1854 A.D.: “if…a man has the natural disposition, he may by the power of his soul communicate with the divine and angelic world…” – p.12 The History of Magic Volume I)…Jean de Pange wrote, in 1940: “Braunau is a center for mediums. One of the best known is Mme. Stokhammes who, in 1920, married in Vienna Prince Joachim of Prussia. It was also from Braunau that the Munich spiritualist, Baron Schrenk-Notzing (likely a member of the Bavarian Illuminati as it was to Munich where the University of Ingolstadt, that original magical bastion of the conspiring Illuminati, had eventually been relocated in 1826 A.D. and renamed the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich [more commonly known simply as the 423

University of Munich, it is essentially a modern day school of magic. It is largely through the reformation efforts of the Roman Catholic priest/University of Munich professor of theology Ignaz von Döllinger (who received his chair in 1826 A.D.) and his friends and colleagues that Vatican Council (Vatican I/1869-1870 A.D.) reforms would come about]. Noteable graduates include the ‘mathematical magic’ adept/theoretical physicist Max Planck, the [al]chemist Otto Hahn, the Bavarian Spiritualist Baron Carl Du Prel and the eminent humanist Thomas Mann. Albert Einstein and Otto Hahn would become a frequent visitor to Planck’s home in Berlin, all three of whom were members of the Prussian Academy of Sciences), recruited his subjects, one of whom was in fact a cousin of Hitler’s.” Occultism teaches that, after concluding a (magic) pact with hidden forces, the members of the Group cannot evoke these forces save through the intermediary of a (ceremonial) magician who, in turn, can do nothing without a medium. It would seem therefore that Hitler must have been the medium, and (Bertrand Russell’s friend, Karl) Haushofer the magician (it is quite likely that Haushofer like Bertrand Russell was himself a member of the Theosophical Society as well). Rauschning, in describing the Fuhrer (Hitler), wrote as follows: ‘One cannot help of thinking of him as a medium… beyond any doubt…Hitler was possessed (read: Overshadowed) by forces outside himself—almost demoniacal forces of which the individual named Hitler was only the temporary vehicle.’ … the medium who is possessed by outside forces is not necessarily conscious of their strength, nor in the direction they are leading him. He dances to a tune that is not his own” (and indeed, one of the main tenets of French Spiritist Allen Kardec’s Mediums and Evokers’ Handbook [1861 A.D.] is: “Most mediums are under the risk of being overwhelmed by evil spirits and made their puppets.”). It continues: “Rudolf Hess had been Haushofer’s assistant when the latter was a professor at the University of Munich (formerly the University of Ingolstadt which had been relocated to Munich. Munich was the capitol of Bavaria, birthplace of the Bavarian Illuminati). It was he who had brought Haushofer** and Hitler together… Hess, the last survivor of the Thule Group, is said to have stated formally that Haushofer was the magician” [See The Seven Men of Spandau by Jack Fishman, 1954 A.D.]). It was said this represented: “…a magical preparation for the coming of a Man-God, the New Man who the Powers (read: the rebel fallen angels) will establish on the Earth…” (** A former General in the German army, Karl Haushofer was the 424

grandson of a tutor employed in the court of Maximilian Joseph, King of Bavaria, his father being godson of the King of Bavaria himself. Following Germany’s defeat in WWI, Haushofer would go on teach at the University of Munich) “Ariosophy (as proffered by Guido von List and a sorcerer named Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels) is an ideological system (including ceremonial magic practices) based on Germanic paganism influenced by Theosophy as well as the Theosophical Society which inspired numerous others as well as a number of organizations in Germany and Austria during the years of the occult revival in Austria and Germany of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Thule Society was considered to be such an Ariosophic organization: “The Thule Society (a Germanic [völkisch] study group/literary group called the Thule Gesellschaft), from which the NSDAP (the National Socialist German Workers’ Party from which would later evolve the Nazi Party) originated, was one of the ariosophic groups of the 1920s (Ariosophic interests include studies and practices of Qabalah. Famous adherents of Ariosophy in Hitler’s hierarchy included the sorcerer Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels). Thule Gesellschaft had initially been the name of the Munich lodge of the Germanenorden (Germanenorden Walvater of the Holy Grail; the German god Walvater is Wotan in triple form, Wotan representing of course, the fallen angel Azazel. The Holy Grail represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth). It took its name from an alleged lost continent Thule, which was assumed to be the mythical homeland from which the Aryan race had originated… The superiority of Aryans over all other races was a key concept and the members of various Germanenorden lodges (based upon a Freemasonic hierarchy) saw themselves (as Teutons or Germanic peoples) as the ‘purest’ branch of the Aryan race (believed to be a hybrid race descended from the gods of which Wotan was the leader).” – Wikipedia: Ariosophy (Such beliefs in the superiority of Aryans over all other races was used not only to defend the Nazi use of slave labor, but also the Continental European, British and American slave trades [the Atlantic Slave Trade, aka the Maafa. There was also an Arabian slave trade]. Many white southerners and other Negro slave holders such as the Freemasonic Confederate General Albert Pike adhered to a like Aryan philosophy. Negros were considered to be inferior to and less human than their wholly Aryan counterparts—such slaves were considered to be a slave-holder’s property, an asset to be bought and sold. By the beginning of the 19th Century legal slavery had been abolished in America and Europe as well as in the countries composing the mighty British Empire [the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 A.D. abolished all slavery in the British Empire. Slavery was abolished in America in 1865 A.D. with the passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In 1886 A.D., Spain became the last country in Europe to abolish slavery. U.N. 425

Article 4 of the Declaration of Human Rights banned slavery globally in 1948 A.D. There are however more illegally held slaves today than there have been legally held slaves in the entire history of the world]. Also to be considered is the late 19th Century race to establish European colonies in Africa [as well as in Asia] which resulted in a repressive, exploitative colonial system which continued in some countries around the world as late as the mid 1990s when South Africa at long last gained independence from England in 1994 A.D. European countries which carved out colonies in Africa included Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. In South Africa, this effort was largely led by the great University of Oxford Doctor of Civil Law, the English imperialist Cecil Rhodes, a 33° Freemason who had become a Freemason in the Apollo University Lodge while there in attendance at Oxford University [Rhodes was a firm believer in the superiority of Aryans over all other races, a typical belief of the times as held by Ariosophic societies and by the Theosophical Society itself. And as a 33° Freemason, Rhodes would certainly be familiar with ceremonial magic practices, as these were incorporated into high-degree Freemasonic rituals]. For the financial backing and execution of Britain’s South African colonial business enterprise: “The Rothschild bank [of London; the Rothschilds are a European family of German-Jewish origin—the Rothchild’s it is said had funded Adam Weishaupt (See Behold a Pale Horse p.76), founder of the Bavarian Illuminati] funded Cecil Rhodes [founder of the De Beers diamond company, founded 1888 A.D., and headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa] in the development of the British South Africa Company [it received its royal charter in 1889 A.D., sanctioning imperialistic ventures, colonization and economic exploitation of the territories it administered] and Leopold de Rothschild (1845-1917) administered Rhodes’ estate after his death in 1902 and helped to set up the Rhodes Scholarship scheme at Oxford University [this scheme being based upon the famous Rhodes’ adage: "Wherever you turn your eye…an Oxford man is at the top of the tree." Recall the Illuminati goal of infiltrating all organizations]… Rhodes included American students as eligible for the Rhodes scholarships [most notably, U.S. President Bill Clinton was such an Oxford-educated Rhodes Scholar, perched atop the American tree]. He [Rhodes] said that he wanted to breed an American elite of philosopher-kings who would have the United States rejoin the British Empire [a common Illuminati tactic. See Proofs of a Conspiracy].” – Wikipedia: Rothschild banking family of England. Some areas in Africa still retain a strong European influence over affairs of state to this day, a holdover from the days of European colonization [one may successfully make the case some nations/territories today are subjects of Corporate Colonialism in the tradition of the British East India Company]. A number of African countries also retain sizable [economically and politically influential] populations of European Aryan nationals) (Author C.S. Lewis refers to the “Supermen” [who are Azazel and his angels] as the New Men, identifying them as the group of humans transfigured/resurrected by Christ to eternal life [See Mere Christianity, pp.183-184], such as that special group mentioned in Hebrews 12:23, “the general assembly” of “just men made perfect” [this seems to have been a common misconception amongst theosophists: “Many of the world religions recognize…a spiritual hierarchy of divine or semidivine Beings and have given to them various names and descriptions. The Bible variously refers to them as Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Dominations, Principalities, Powers, Cherubim and Seraphim… A companion to this thought is the teaching that upon our planet earth there exists a ‘body’ of ‘just men made perfect’ (See Hebrews 12:22-24), an assembly or ‘communion of saints’; who constitute a ‘spiritual brotherhood’ … This ‘Brotherhood’ is in a broad sense an organization known in the occult world as ‘The Great White Lodge.’” - The Theosophical Seal by Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.]. Indeed, true to his Theosophical leanings, C.S. Lewis considered the incarnate fallen angels to be an evolutionary advanced group of beings well beyond us less evolutionarily developed members of humanity, Lewis even going as far as to declare: “The Devil was an archangel once, his natural gifts were as far above yours as yours are above a chimpanzee.” – Beyond Personality by C.S. Lewis, 1945 A.D., “Oxford don and Cambridge Professor” (Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University), author of such well-known magical children’s tales as The Chronicles 426

of Narnia including The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Magician’s Nephew. C.S. Lewis was a close friend of J. R. R. Tolkien, author of the magic infused Lord of the Rings trilogy, both authors being leading figures of the English faculty at Oxford University, members of the Oxford literary group infamously known as the “Inklings,” a group of literary men mostly composed of Oxford University faculty members and incorporated into a literary salon. One particularly interesting Inkling of note was Charles Walter Stansby Williams (1886-1945 A.D.), an editor of the Oxford University Press as well as a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. As illuminated by Arthur Machen in his Selected Letters, Charles Walter Stansby Williams additionally “had been an active member of A.E. Waite’s Fellowship of the Rosy Cross (a Golden Dawn offshoot) from 1917-28.” As an Inkling, Charles Walter Stansby Williams was associated with C.S. Lewis and the Americanborn English poet/Nobel-prize winning Oxford University attendee/Theosophical Societymember T.S. Eliot (Eliot was a neighbor of philosopher Bertrand Russell, who lived in the same flat). T.S. Eliot was a friend of Fabian Society member Leonard Woolf (both being of the Jewish persuasion), the husband of author Virginia Woolf. T.S. Eliot was also friends with both Theosophical Society/Bohemian Club/Scroll and Key member Mark Twain (Twain himself was an ‘intimate friend’ of Theosophical Society co-founder H.S. Olcott) and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member W.B. Yeats. Another famous Inkling is Lord David Cecil (a member of England’s most powerful family, his father was first cousin to Arthur Balfour), Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford from 1948 1970 A.D. Note the interconnectivity of these seemingly diverse groups, each and every one of them associated with magic practices and the invocation of fallen angels. Doubtless the Freemasons were also well represented within this grouping. It represents the early pulling together of diverse magic practicing groups into one cohesive grouping, an international bund. The Fabian Society and its affiliates gave birth to the British Labour Party, so important to the political cause of which would later result in the successful repeal of the Witchcraft Acts in England, a marked sign of the waning supremacy of the papacy with which witchcraft had long been at war. Today, 60 years later, the goings-on at the Bohemian Grove represent the pinnacle of global power marshaled and led by the world’s united magic-practicing groups) (The creation of the Theosophical Society and its associated belief in Monism was a scheme hatched by practitioners of magic with the expressed intent to bring about the “reconciliation of Asia and Europe” [and with it America] blending all faiths and creeds into one homogenous whole. This scheme is explained in the following quotation: “We are beginning to understand that Jesus, at the very height of his consciousness, the transfigured Christ, is opening his loving arms to his brothers, the other Messiahs who preceded him, beams of the Living Word as he was, that he is opening them wide to Science in its entirety, Art in its divinity, and Life in its completeness. But his promise cannot be fulfilled without the help of all the living forces of humanity. Two main things are necessary nowadays for the continuation of the mighty (the great) work: on the one hand, the progressive unfolding of experimental science and intuitive philosophy to facts of psychic order, intellectual principles, and spiritual proofs (read: psychical research); on the other, the expansion of Christian dogma in the direction of tradition and esoteric science, and subsequently a reorganization of the Church according to a graduated initiation (as is the case with the Kabbalah Centre and in Illuminati and Freemasonic lodges); this by a free and irresistible movement of all Christian churches, which are also equally daughters of the Christ. Science must become religious and religion scientific. This double evolution, already in preparation, would finally and forcibly bring about a reconciliation of Science and Religion on esoteric grounds. The work will not progress without considerable difficulty at first, but the future of European Society depends on it. The transformation of Christianity, in its esoteric sense (Cabalism/Gnosticism) would bring with it that of Judaism and Islam, as well as a regeneration of Brahmanism and Buddhism in the same fashion, it would accordingly furnish a religious basis for the reconciliation of Asia and Europe.” - Jesus, the Last Great Initiate Chapter VII p.124-125 by Edouard Schuré, 1908 A.D. Schuré, a proponent of Monism, in an attempt to effect such a religious reconciliation, held 427

that: “…six Messiahs…have already appeared on earth; the seventh (a group known as the Seven Masters) is himself (Jesus), and this Cup signifies the Sacrifice he must undergo, by incarnating himself on earth in his turn.” - Jesus, the Last Great Initiate Chapter IV p.85-86 by Edouard Schuré, 1908 A.D. The next ‘great teacher’ of Monism, the False Prophet, will be Azazel, also known as Maitreya. As Theosophist Benjamin Crème, also expounding the doctrine of Monism, explains it: “Maitreya is the Christ to Christians, the Imam Mahdi to Muslims, Krishna to Hindus, the Messiah to Jews, and Maitreya Buddha to Buddhists.” According to the Share International website, Maitreya: “…has been expected for generations by all the major religions… Although the names differ, many believe that they all refer to the same individual: the World Teacher, whose personal name is Maitreya.” Edouard Schuré (1841-1929 A.D.) was a French author who had a profound influence on Rudolph Steiner, the German founder of Anthroposophy, a group composed of disenfranchised German exTheosophical Society members [personally I believe this is a common excuse to form a new goal-orientated franchise group/cell])

Another man whose influence was apparent on various members of the Thule Society was German author/poet/journalist/playright Guido von List: “Guido von List (October 5, 1848 – May 17, 1919) was strongly influenced by the Theosophical thought of (Theosophical Society founder) Madame (H.P.) Blavatsky, which he blended with his own racial religious beliefs, founded upon Germanic paganism… A look at the signatories of the first announcement concerning support for a Guido-von-List-Gesellschaft (Guido von List Society),** circa 1905, reveals that List had a following of some very prestigious people and shows that List, his ideology and his influence had widespread and significant support, including that amongst public figures in Austria and Germany.” – Wikipedia: Guido von List (** “In 1908 von List founded the Armanen Initiates, the inner order of the modestly-entitled Guido von List Society. His doctrines centered upon ideas of racial purity – von List believed the Germanic peoples, the Armenen, had originally been a race of supermen… Guido was its last pure-blooded survivor.” – p.34 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley, 1999 A.D. Guido von List spoke of a great ‘international Jewish conspiracy’ (Ibid p.34). This is the very same sentiment expressed in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion first published in Russia in 1903 A.D., a mere two years before the ‘official’ inauguration of the Guido von List Society in 1905 A.D. Later: “…in 1912, several German occultists with radical anti-semitic inclinations decided to form a ‘magic’ lodge, which they named the Order of Teutons. The main founders were Theodor Fritsch, a publisher of an anti-Semitic journal; Philipp Stauff, pupil of the racist Guido von List, and Hermann Pohl, the order’s chancellor (Pohl would drop out three years later to found his own bizarre lodge, the Walvater 428

Teutonic Order of the Holy Grail). The Order of Teutons was organized along the lines of the Freemasons or the Rosicrucians, having differing degrees of initiation, only persons who could fully document that they were of pure ‘Aryan’ ancestry were allowed to join.”** - The Unknown Hitler: Nazi Roots in the Occult (** “The ideas which dominate Germany…have come to assume a religious form… they have grown to believe themselves the greatest-of-all, the chosen-of-God [their ‘God’ is not to be confused with the God of the Christians], they who shall inherit the earth [by definition the ‘Teutonic Theory,’ aka Aryanism, which was blended along with traditional archaic magic practices into a system known as Ariosophy and largely influenced by teachings promulgated by Theosophical Society lodges active in Germany proper]… their mission to dominate the world as a chosen people, superior to all those of the past, present, and future…which tends to give the conflict [WWI] the character of a religious war. The adversary is not only an enemy, but an excommunicated heretic as well… To conquer him is not enough; he must be utterly destroyed.” – Psychical Phenomenon and the War by Hereward Carrington, 1918 A.D. During WWII, Adolph Hitler, abetted by his magick practicing minions, would elevate the concept of Aryanism to new and dramatic heights)

“Living in Vienna, Guido (von) List (1848-1919 A.D.) had been active as journalist and writer. After he turned to esotericism, he became the first popular author to combine völkisch ideology and occultism into the type of esoteric doctrine that is now collectively labelled Ariosophy. In September 1903 the occult periodical Die Gnosis included an article by List, in which he, referring to (Berlin Theosophist Max Ferdinand) Sebaldt von Werth (who wrote on the subject of the sex-magic practices of the ancient Aryans), started to articulate “a Germanic occult religion.” The Society (the Guido Von List Society) was founded officially on 2 March 1908 (variously 1905 A.D.; its inner-order Armanen Inititiates was founded in 1908 A.D.). Its members included völkisch authors as well as occultists (for example Franz Hartmann and the complete membership of the Vienna Theosophical Society). Some inner members of the (Guido von) List Society participated in the activities of the Hoher Armanen-Orden (High Armanen-Order) (also known as the Armanen Initiates).” Religion Wiki: Esotericism in Germany and Austria (Franz Hartmann was a 19th century Bavarian physician who would later emmigrate to the United States, practicing medicine in Missouri and Texas. A Spiritualist member of the Theosophical Society, Hartmann also lived and worked for a time in India with Theosophical Society-founder H.P. Blavatsky. It was Franz Hartmann himself who first translated Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine into German)

“The Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) originated in the irregular masonic (Scottish Rite and Memphis-Misraim Freemasonry) activities of Theodor Reuss, Franz Hartmann (Franz Hartmann was a member of the Vienna Theosophical Society who had previously spent time 429

during the early 1880s with H.S. Olcott and Madame Blavatsky at the Theosophical Society – Adyar headquarters in India) and Karl Kellner** … Theodor Reuss had been in contact with William (Wynn) Wescott, a founding member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (which is the magic-practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society itself).” - Religion Wiki: Esotericism in Germany and Austria (** “Karl Kellner was initiated into Tantric yoga [an Eastern form of sex-magic] in India, and founded the Ordo Templi Orientis (Order of the Oriental Templars) on his return to Germany in 1902… Kellner taught a Westernized form of Eastern Tantra [sex-magic] worship…” – The Occult by Colin Wilson. Aleister Crowley’s biographer John Symmonds similarly writes: “The letters O.T.O. stand for Ordo Templi Orientis, or Order of the Templars of the East, an occult society which was founded in Germany at the beginning of this century. Its leaders were well-known Grand Masters of masonry, such as Franz Hartmann, Heinrich Klein and Karl Kellner. They had decided to found the O.T.O. after the Viennese Karl Kellner had returned from an extensive tour in the East—where he had been initiated by the Arab fakir, Soliman ben Aifha, and the Indian yogis, Bhima Sen Pratap and Sri Mahatma Agamya Guru Paramahamsa—and expounded to them the mysteries of yoga and the philosophy of the lefthand path which he called ‘sexual magic.’” – pp.94-95 The Magic of Aleister Crowley. Also: “In 1902 John Yarker, the Manchester-based head of various masonic and pseudo-masonic rites, chartered three German occultists, named [Theodor] Reuss, [Franz] Hartmann, and [Heinrich] Klein, to establish a German Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis and Mizraim (this was known as the OTO)” – Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism p.119 by Francis King, 1989 A.D. The OTO magic order was in fact a Freemasonic creation. Additionally: “Several famous occultists were chartered by [Theodor] Reuss to operate OTO lodges, including Rudolph Steiner (1861 – 1925), founder of Anthroposophy, who was chartered for a German lodge in 1906…Dr. Gerard Encausse (1865 – 1916), better known as Papus,** was chartered in France in 1908 (** Pertinent Quote: “People who enter religious orders take new names to show that as new men and new women they are beginning a new life: so do people who join occult societies, and witches sometimes took new names on entering the Devil’s service.” – p.45 The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish. Such was the case with Gerard Encausse, also known by his occult name, Papus. Such a practice is common in Wicca circles as well. During the Renaissance, magicpracticing scientists such as Copernicus similarly adhered to a similar practice by rendering their names into Greek. The practice itself harkens back even to Biblical times when Abram was renamed Abraham as he entered into the service of God [See Genesis 17:5]). The absorption of the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica** [the Ecclesiatical arm of the OTO] formed another link between the Papus lineage and the modern OTO.” - Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons p.39 by John Carter, 1999 A.D. [** “The chief function of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica is the public and private performance of the Gnostic Mass (Liber XV), a eucharistic ritual written by Crowley in 1913.” - Wikipedia]). Azazel and his band of angels is the Synarchist world government of ascended masters said to rule through these associated secret occult societies of which Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre (who was related by marriage to the French Illuminus Freemason and novelist/playwright Honoré de Balzac) writes in Mission de l'Inde en Europeä, the group of superhuman beings (known as the Masters of Agartha) whom Saint-Yves claimed communicated with him telepathically. Saint-Yves’s main disciple was the French Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO-member Papus (Gerald Encausse) who established a number of associated secret societies based on these Synarchist ideologies. Saint-Yves is also connected to the French Illuminus statesman Victor Hugo and to Victor Blanchard (an associate of Rene Guenon). All 430

were attendees of the "International Masonic and Spiritualist Conference" held in Paris in 1908 A.D. which advocated the empirical scholarly study of the Occult Sciences in all of its forms. Such studies include ‘Quantum Mysticism,’ also known as ‘Quantum Mechanics’ and ‘Quantum Physics.’ It is widely believed that paranormal phenomenon such as clairvoyance, telepathy, ESP, etc. may be thusly explained by ‘Quantum Theory’ through the existence of a fourth-dimension. Magic-based alchemical practices (in more modern times known as chemistry) also fall within the category of what we now know as physics, and the empirical study of Spiritualism itself is known as ‘Transcendental Physics’ (named after SPR-member Johann Friedrich Zollner’s book concerning his own psychical research into Spiritualist phenomena entitled Transcendental Physics [1878 A.D.]) while the study of the effect of the ‘True Will’ of the witch/magician (the mechanics of the spell, curse, etc. working through the power of the mind) often falls under the heading ‘Noetic Sciences’ (‘noetic’ from the Greek ‘nous’ meaning ‘mind’) and is a subject of ‘consciousness studies’ as well (it was a leading SPR-member named Hereward Carrington who would in conjunction with this conference issue the clarion call for and I quote the “study of consciousness,” for the scientific “study of the mental forces and powers of the universe” as pertains to magic with the issuance of his book The Coming Science [1908 A.D.]). What we know today as science our forebears formerly knew as magic.

Concerning the German occult revival of 1880-1910 A.D.: “The modern German occult revival owes its inception to the popularity of theosophy in the Anglo-Saxon world during the 1880s. The first German Theosophical Society was established in July 1884, under the presidency of Wilhelm Hübbe-Schleiden, a conservative German nationalist turned spiritual seeker who sought to establish Theosophy on a ‘scientific’ basis. Between 1886 and 1895 HübbeSchleiden published the monthly periodical Die Sphinx. In Vienna (Austria), a Theosophical Society was founded in 1887, its president was Friedrich Eckstein (“Friedrich Eckstein… [1861 November 10, 1939] was an Austrian polymath, man of letters, Theosophist and a friend and temporary co-worker of Sigmund Freud. He taught S. Freud theYoga.” – Wikipedia. Amongst Freud’s own students in Vienna was Theosophical Societymember/Spiritualist/psychiatrist Carl Jung). Among his (Eckstein’s) circle at this time was Franz Hartmann (Hartmann himself wrote a number of books on the subject of magic), a leader of theosophical work who emphasized personal spiritual experience (Notable Franz Hartmann Quote: “Magic is the knowledge of how to employ spiritual powers…”), and the young Rudolph Steiner were members (recall it was the members of this Vienna Theosophical Society which joined the Guido von List Society at its inception in 1905 A.D. en-masse). A German Theosophical Society, as a branch of the International Theosophical Brotherhood, then was 431

established in 1896 (by Reuss, Engel and Hartmann in Munich) when the American theosophists (read: Theosophical Society members) around William Quan Judge, Katherine Tingley, E. T. Hargrove and C. F. Wright travelled through Europe. Its president was Franz Hartmann (Hartmann himself had worked withj H.P. Blavatsky at Theosophical Society Adyar), who also founded a theosophical laymonastery at Ascona** in 1889. His periodical Lotusblüten (Lotus Blossoms) (1892-1900) was the first German publication to use the theosophical swastika on its cover. Hartmann’s example provided the impetus for Paul Zillmann to found the Metaphysische Rundschau (Metaphysical Review) in 1896…” - Religion Wiki: Esotericism in Germany and Austria (** Anscona since 1933 A.D. has played host to the annual Eranos Conferences whose Illuminus attendees have included Carl Jung, Gershom Scholem [Jewish Kabalist author of numerous books on the subject of Kabalism including On the Kaballah and its Symbolism] and Joseph Campbell. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Eranos is an intellectual discussion group dedicated to the study of psychology, religion, philosophy and spirituality [Spiritualism] which has met annually in Switzerland since 1933 [in essence they studied magic]... The group was founded by Olga Froebe-Kapteyn. Froebe-Kapteyn established this group at the suggestion of the eminent German religious historian, Rudolf Otto.” Olga FröbeKapteyn was a close friend of Marie Stopes, a pioneer in the field of birth control)

“Franz Hartmann (22 November 1838, Donauwörth [a city in Bavaria, the birthplace of the Illuminati] – 7 August 1912, Kempten im Allgäu)...was the editor of the journal Lotusblüten. He was at one time a co-worker of Helena Blavatsky at Adyar. In 1896 he founded a German Theosophical Society. He also supported the Guido-von-ListSociety (Guido-von-List-Gesellschaft). According to Theodor Reuss he was one of the original founders of the magical Order that would later be known as Ordo Templi Orientis, along with Reuss and Carl Kellner.” - Wikipedia: Franz Hartmann “According to [August] Kubizek [one of Hitler’s few friends from the early years], Hitler spent a great deal of time studying oriental mysticism, astrology, hypnotism, Germanic mythology and other aspects of occultism. By 1909 he had made contact with Dr. Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels, a former Cistercian monk who, two years previously, had opened a temple of the ‘Order of the New Templars’ (Ordo Novi Templi, an Ariosophic secret society) at the tumble-down Werfenstein Castle on the banks of the Danube. Von Leibenfels had assumed his aristocratic sounding name: he was born plain Adolf Lanz and came of solid bourgeois stock. His following was small but wealthy. A disciple of Guido von List [who adopted the swastika as the emblem of the 432

neo-pagan movement in Germany in the late 19th century] he flew a swastika flag from his battlements, performed ritual magic and ran a magazine entitled Ostara, a propaganda journal of occultism and race mysticism, to which the young Hitler became an avid subscriber.” - The Occult Connection by Frank Smyth (Notable Quote: “…the Germans have been generally in the foremost ranks of the gross absurdities of magic, exorcism, witchcraft, fortune-telling, transmutation of metals [alchemy], and [the Rosicrucian] universal medicine [panacea]…” – p.52 Proofs of a Conspiracy by John Robinson, 1798 A.D.)

“While a broad definition of the term ‘Ariosophy’ is useful for some purposes, various of the later authors, including Ellegaard Ellerbek, Philipp Stauff and Günther Kirchoff, can more exactly be described as cultivating the Armanism of (Guido von) List (Goodrick-Clarke 1985: 155). In a less broad approach one could also treat rune occultism (rune magic) separately. Although the Armanen runes go back to (Guido von) List (and his Armanen Initiates), Rudolf John Gorsleben distinguished himself from other völkisch writers by making the esoteric importance of the runes central to his world view. GoodrickClarke therefore refers to the doctrine of Gorsleben and his followers as rune occultism (also known as rune magic), a description which also fits the eclectic work of Karl Spiesberger. Highly practical systems of rune occultism (rune magic), influenced mainly by (Guido von) List, were developed by Friedrich Bernhard Marby and Siegfried Adolf Kummer (Goodrick-Clarke 1985: 160-62). Also worthy of mention are Peryt Shou, the occult novelist; A. Frank Glahn, noted more for his pendulum dowsing; Rudolf von Sebottendorff and Walter Nauhaus, who built up the Thule Society; and Karl Maria Wiligut (who hailed from a family with a long military tradition; Wiligut himself was a decorated soldier who fought in World War I), who was the most notable occultist working for the SS.” - Wikipedia: Ariosophy (Ariosophic organisations include: the Guido von List Society, the High Armanen Order, the Ordo Novi Templi, the Germanenorden and the Thule Society)

“In 1918 (Rudolf von) Sebottendorff made contact with Walter Nauhaus, a member of the Germanenorden who headed a ‘Germanic study group’ called the Thule Gesellschaft (Thule Society). The name of Nauhaus’ original Thule Society was adopted as a cover-name for Sebottendorff’s Munich lodge of the Germanenorden Walvater when it was formally dedicated on August 18, 1918.” - Wikipedia: Ariosophy

433

The Thule Society would play a major role in the defeat of a Communist revolution in Bavaria: “…on April 6, 1919, in Bavaria, left wing socialists and anarchists proclaimed the Bavarian Soviet Republic.** The brains of the revolution were a group of writers who had little idea of administration. Life in Munich grew chaotic. The counterrevolutionary forces, the whites, composed of various groups of decommissioned soldiers known as ‘frei corps,’ equipped and financed by the mysterious Thule Society, defeated the Bavarian Soviet within a matter of weeks.” - The Unknown Hitler: Nazi Roots in the Occult. (**“The Bavarian Soviet Republic, also known as the Munich Soviet Republic…was, as part of the German Revolution of 1918–1919 [at which time Ludwig III, King of Bavaria (b.1845-d.1921 A.D.), a direct descendent of King Louis XIV of France, was dethroned and exiled to Switzerland], the short-lived attempt to establish a socialist state in the form of a democratic workers’ council republic in the Free State of Bavaria. It sought independence from the also recently proclaimed Weimar Republic. Its capital was Munich.” – Wikipedia: Bavarian Soviet Republic)

Following its surrender at the end of WWI and the acceptance of humiliating terms of peace, Germany’s ruling government was replaced by the Weimar Republic: “The German Revolution (German: Novemberrevolution) was the politically-driven civil conflict in Germany at the end of World War I, which resulted in the replacement of Germany’s imperial government with a republic. The revolutionary period lasted from November 1918 until the formal establishment of the Weimar Republic in August 1919.” – Wikipedia: German Revolution of 1918–1919). The German Revolution of 1918– 1919 A.D. certainly bears the Illuminati stamp. Indeed, the Illuminati ‘mother Lodge’ which gave birth to all the others was, as we learn from Proofs of a Conspiracy (1798 A.D.) located there in Munich.

“Hitler’s stellar performance in Munich [identifying pro-Communist soldiers to be shot in 1919] (who had ‘allegedly’ sided with the revolutionaries in the aforementioned German Revolution of 1918– 1919) earned him a promotion. He was assigned to the highly secret Political Department of the Army District Command. Hitler’s new unit was an intelligence operation that engaged in acts of domestic terrorism. The unit refused to accept Germany’s defeat in World War I and so it assassinated some of the German leaders who had negotiated Germany’s surrender. A prominent leader of the District Command 434

was Captain Ernst Röhm. Röhm was a professional soldier who served as liaison between the District Command and the German industrialists (Fascists) who were directly funding the District Command to help it fight communism. Captain Röhm and many other members of the District Command were members of a mystical organization known as the ‘Thule Society’ [Thulegesellschaft]. The Thule believed in the Aryan super race and it preached the coming of a German ‘Messiah’ who would lead Germany to glory and a new Aryan civilization. In Spear of Destiny [by Trevor Ravenscroft] we learn from Dr. (Walter Johannes) Stein that the Thule group was financed by some of the very same industrialists who supported the District Command. The Thule was also directly supported by the German (Army) High Command.” The Gods of Eden by William Bramley. Captain Ernst Röhm commanded the vaunted SA paramilitary organization [with the German army limited to 100,000 troops under the Treaty of Versailles which brought an inglorious end to World War I, such paramilitary groups were a way to circumvent this restriction and the SA would eventually threaten the powers of the entrenched regular army generals of the German Army High Command] and would himself be purged during the 1934 A.D. Night of the Long Knives ‘Röhm-Putsch’ which decimated SA leadership ranks. This action, carried out in secret by Gestapo/SS assassination squads under the nominal command of Adolf Hitler, would endear Hitler to the German Army High Command thereby cementing Hitler’s rise to power. When Reichsfuehrer SS Heinrich Himmler ordered Dr. Stein’s arrest in Stuttgart in 1933 A.D. in order to press him into service with the SS Occult Bureau (the Ahnenerbe), Stein would escape from Germany to Britain: “Many assassinations perpetrated by the District Command may have been inspired by the Thule. According to Dr. Stein, the Thule was a ‘Society of Assassins.’ It held secret courts and condemned people to death.** It is likely that many victims murdered by the District Command had been condemned earlier in the secret courts of the Thule. Many prominent Germans supported this violence and were documented members of the Thule. For example, the Police President of Munich, Franz Gurtner, was a reported member of the innermost circle of the Thule. He later became Minister of Justice of the Third Reich.” - The Gods of Eden by William Bramley (The Thule courts were modeled on the 435

Germanic extra-judicial Fehmic [Vehmic] courts of the Holy Roman Empire, a statesanctioned society of vigilantes which likewise held secret trials and whose members in a like way carried out the court-ordered capitol punishments. As we learn from 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Fehmic Courts: “The only punishment which the secret court could inflict was death. If the accused appeared, the sentence was carried into execution at once; if he did not appear, it was quickly made known to the whole body… the first to meet the condemned was bound to put him to death. This was usually done by hanging, the nearest tree serving for gallows. A knife with cabalistic letters [a testament to the magic roots of the Fehmic Courts] was left beside the corpse to show that the deed was not a murder.”)

Magic practices were highly ingrained within the German high command and amongst its secret service: “(Heinrich) Himmler, as well as (Adolf) Hitler, became deeply interested in Tibetan Lamaism. He set up an occult training college at the Berlin section and ordered members of the SS leadership to attend courses there, especially in magic.” - Secret Agent 666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult by Richard Spence (In Tibeten Buddhism [also known as Lamaism], Lamas associate with Shaman magicians who function as spirit mediums. For more information see With Mystics and Magicians in Tibet by Alexandra David-Neel, 1931 A.D. No doubt this book had fueled Hitler’s new-found interest in Tibetan Lamaism. At Shigatze in Tibet is located a temple dedicated to the Buddhist Matreiya, who is Azazel)

“Long before he (Rudolph Hess) met (Adolf) Hitler, Hess was a member of satanist Aleister Crowley’s Isis cult, known as the Ordo Templi Orientes (OTO), which crossed over into Crowley’s satanic (Hermetic) Order of the Golden Dawn, popular among students at Cambridge and Oxford (University).” - The `No-Soul' Gang Behind Reverend Moon's Gnostic Sex Cult by Larry Hecht

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was popular among members of the British aristocracy which was generally educated at Cambridge and Oxford. Amongst its membership rolls were the Duke of Bedford (to whom is related philosopher Bertrand Russell, a man with extensive ties to various members of the British Intelligence services. Bertrand Russell was a Fabian Society member whose societal ranks as mentioned above included both members of the Theosophical Society and its magic-practicing inner circle The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), the Duke of Hamilton, and British spymaster Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick (when Rudolph Hess flew to England on his own volition in order to negotiate a settlement to the war [WWII], it was Kirkpatrick and an ally of British P.M. Ramsay MacDonald’s National Government, the Viscount John Simon, who interviewed him on behalf of the British Government** [See p.35 The 436

Seven Men of Spandau by Jack Fishman, 1954 A.D.]; Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick was a member of the Political Warfare Executive [PWE], a British secret agency involved in psychological warfare). The ruse to trick Hess to fly to England was allegedly set up by British Intelligence: “Whatever he (German-American Intelligence agent Kurt Jahnke) did to drive Hess toward his fatal decision was linked to a larger plot in London orchestrated by (Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister) Crowley’s ‘friends’ Dennis Wheatley and Ian Fleming and Fleming’s boss, NID (Naval Intelligence Division) chief Admiral John Godfrey. Fleming, for instance, practically ran a secret section, 17Z, that worked closely with Wheatley, the aforementioned astrologer Louis de Wohl (an astrologer/author employed by MI5), and a ‘black propaganda’ outfit (by definition purveyors of false information/misinformation, i.e., lies) run by Political Warfare Executive’s (PWE) Sefton Delmer (under who served Desmond Leslie’s wife, OSS ‘black propaganda’ radio announcer Agnes Bernelle, codename ‘Vicki’). Crowley would have been an ideal advisor to such a group (and likely in fact was).” - Secret Agent 666:Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult p.247 by Richard Spence. For more information see PWE spy Ellic Howe’s books Astrology: A Recent History including the Untold Story of its Role in World War II (1968 A.D.), Astrology and Psychological Warfare during World War II (1972 A.D.) and The Black Game: British Subversive Operations against the Germans in World War II (1982 A.D.). Ellic Howe would write a number of books on the history of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as well (** “Fleming later confessed that one of his unfulfilled desires was to have [Aleister] Crowley interview Rudolph Hess [as Hess had been a member of Crowley’s OTO]. That would make perfect sense if the Beast [Crowley] was already involved with prisoner interrogations [as in fact he was, he commonly employing hallucinogenic drugs such as mescaline in an endeavor to loosen captive tongues]. Crowley was willing to oblige, and may have suggested the idea himself. Fleming preserved a letter from him [Crowley], dated 14 May [1941 A.D.] (four days after Hess’ capture), which read: ‘If it is true that Herr Hess is much influenced by astrology and magick, my services might be of use to the department in case he should not be willing to do what you wish’ [this letter is a testimony to the fact Aleister Crowley was himself ‘in the loop’ in this Intelligence matter]. Interestingly, Crowley noted British M.P. Tom Driberg as someone who ‘could testify to my status and reputation in these matters.’ … Fleming and Godfrey hoped that the old Magician [Crowley] might persuade Hess to divulge intimate details about other top Nazis, such as the degree of their own occult susceptibilities.” - Secret Agent 666:Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult p.249 by Richard Spence. As Richard Spence therein notes, Ian Fleming had at this time effectively served as British Intelligence agent Aleister Crowley’s case officer [Ibid p.249]. Though if Hess was in fact a member of Crowley’s OTO before he had met Hitler, Hess may also have been a deep cover British spy and this ‘ruse’ but a cover story for his later extraction)

By some accounts, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn437

member Aleister Crowley had been a British double-agent skilled in counter-espionage during World War I (and served as an asset of U.S. Intelligence as well): “(Heinrich) Himmler set up the Nazi Occult Bureau (the Ahnenerbe). This incorporated into one organization of the Thule group, the Vril Society and the German branch of the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) Aleister Crowley’s magical order (in which Hesse had been a member)…we…believe that Crowley belonged to the British Secret Service.”** - Secret Agent 666:Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult by Richard Spence (** It is important to note in this regard that Aleister Crowley’s right-hand man in Crowley’s own Argenteum Astrum [Order of the Silver Star] magic order was the Boer War veteran British Major-General John Frederick Charles Fuller [J.F.C. Fuller], arguably the preeminent British military strategist of his time. J.F.C. Fuller ties to the Charles Bradlaugh/Annie Besant circle through his membership in the anti-Christian Rationalist Association [See p.85 Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast by Colin Wilson] founded in 1885 A.D. on the impetus of Charles Albert Watts of the Rationalist Press Association which served as Bradlaugh’s ‘free thinking secular publisher.’ Past contributors to the Rationalist Press Association’s magazine, The Literary Review [since renamed The New Humanist] have included H.G. Wells [See The New Humanist website] who had served as the Director of British Foreign Intelligence during WWI. Concerning the Nazi crackdown on occult organizations in Germany, Richard Spence also notes: “They [the Nazis] certainly were concerned enough about the occult organizations to suppress them. Early in 1935, the Nazi regime initiated what author Peter Levenda aptly describes as a ‘cult war’ against ‘Masonic lodges, other lodges and lodge-like organizations.’ Besides all forms of Freemasonry, the Nazi crackdown included Steiner’s Anthroposophy, the Theosophical Society, and even the venerable Druiden-orden. Also on the Nazi hitlist were the [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn [created by members of a Rosicrucian order], [German occultist Eugen] Grosche’s Fraternitas Saturni [also known as Gregor A. Gregorius, Grosche served as the group’s Grandmaster from 1928 – 1964 A.D. (For more detailed information see Fire and Ice: The History, Structure and Rituals of Germany’s Most Influential Modern Magical Order The Brotherhood Of Saturn by Stephen E. Flowers). Grosche was a friend of occultist Franz Bardon (1909-1958 A.D.), author of three books on the subject of Hermetic Qabbala including The Practice of Magical Evocation], the OTO, and Crowley’s A:.A:. [the Argenteum Astrum]; that is, every esoteric organization the Beast [British spy Aleister Crowley] ever had anything to do with. The Third Reich had room for only one secret society, Himmler’s own ‘Black Order,’ the SS.** Himmler viewed other groups not just as rivals but as security threats. For instance, he believed that Rosicrucianism was a ‘branch of the British secret service.’” – p.243 Secret Agent 666 by Richard Spence. And not without reason—it was a British secret agent named Donald McCormick [who during WWII as a member of British Navy Intelligence working alongside British spy Ian Fleming] who in his book Murder by Witchcraft [1969 A.D.] p.154 would himself confess: “…the links between occultism and astrology…and intelligence work…though obscure, have existed through the Middle Ages to the present day.”) (** As Gavin Badley notes in Lucifer Rising p.38, the German vӧlkisch equivalent of the Vatican was called the Black Order [the SS] located in a castle at Wewelsburg in northern Germany where “Himmler and his twelve closest disciples would meet” which is the traditional number of witches in a witch’s coven: “The Black Order [SS] was not just a military organization but a sect, a fraternity of warrior priests.” The black magic rituals performed in Church of Satan-member/Army Intelligence PSYOPs agent Michael A. Aquino’s Temple of Set magic order are based largely upon magic rituals performed by 438

Heinrich Himmler and his Nazi SS Black Order [Aquino would later perform a magical working there at Wewelsburg Castle in 1982 A.D. (See The Jeweled Tablets of Set)]. These magical workings include the Nazi S.S.’s Die Elektrischen Vorspiele ritual [also practiced by The Church of Satan as outlined in LaVey’s book Satanic Rituals] which involved the creation and broadcast of Extremely Low Frequency [ELF] waves [See p.236 The Church of Satan by Michael A. Aquino], a magic ritual which involved the use of a Tesla coil which was primarily historically employed in psychiatric electrotherapy processes [the U.S. Army is known to have carried out experiments with the Tesla coil in this field of therapeutics during the 1940s]. The true reason the designation of ‘Temple of Set’ was chosen was due to the fact that the original ancient Egyptian Priesthood of Set [which Aquino himself had sought to resurrect] it was believed was a group chiefly composed of as Aquino explains in The Church of Satan p.281: “…the sorcerers and psychologists of Egypt.” Historically speaking, the field of psychology/psychiatry has wholly magical roots. As Michael A. Aquino additionally explains in The Church of Satan p.404, the 306th PSYOP Battalion with which he was involved basically used magic and ceremonial magic rituals in its military operations in the grand tradition of the magicians of old, he even claiming to have made contact with Aleister Crowley’s Secret Chiefs [read: with Azazel and his angels], and all of this in an official U.S. Army Intelligence capacity)

One of the most important stories in our bid to uncover secretive associations between otherwise seemingly disassociated groups is that of Oscar R. Schlag: “Another fascinating and secretive figure on the OTO landscape is Oscar R. Schlag (1907 – 1991), an associate of the pioneering psychologist, (Theosophical Society-member) Dr. Carl Gustav Jung (an OSS spy). While not a member himself, Schlag nonetheless moved within several upper echelon OTO circles, visiting Jane Wolfe in 1955 at the California Lodge led by Jet Propulsion Laboratory rocket scientist Jack Parsons (Jane Wolfe was an American Hollywood actress [with whom Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger, Jack Parsons’ neighbor, would later make his acquaintance] and Spiritist medium who lived with and studied abroad under the tutelage of Aleister Crowley for two years at his so-called “college of occult knowledge,” the Abbey of Thelema [established in 1920 A.D.] in Cefalu, Sicily; Jane Wolfe played a founding role in the creation of the OTO’s Agape Lodge of which Jack Parsons was a member, serving as the group’s lodge master*). Schlag was an intimate associate of top OTO men such as Karl Germer (a Jewish Nazi concentration camp survivor), and belonged to the ‘Abramelin group’ which also contained Pinkus (Dr. Felix Lazerus Pinkus [1881 – 1947 A.D.] was a Jewish Freemasonic B’nai B’rith [Sons of the Covenant] activist and influential Zionist [note this B’nai B’rith association with the OTO. The B’nai B’rith organization is the founder of the Anti-Defamation 439

League. It was the family of a CIA asset (See Rolling Stone© Magazine: The CIA and the Media, October 20, 1977), an Ashkenazi Jew named Arthur Hays Sulzberger (Sulzberger served as publisher of the New York Times [a newspaper owned by members of the Churchill family a number of whose journalists were associates of British spy/OTO-member Aleister Crowley] from 1935 – 1961 A.D.) which ran the B’nai B’rith organization as well as the associated American Jewish Committee. Arthur Hays Sulzberger’s great-grandfather, Benjamin Seixas, was the brother of the famous American Revolutionary rabbi Gershom Mendes Seixas, one of the original founders of the New York Stock Exchange) serving as president of the Zurich Union of Zionists (it was Basel, Switzerland which would play host to the First Zionist Congress held in 1897 A.D. [chaired by Theodor Herzl] whose Basel Declaration called for a “home for the Jewish people in Palestine”). Pinkus was the ‘spiritual father’ of Hermann Joseph Metzger (alias Peter Mano), the Swiss born outer head of the OTO and Patriarch of the Gnostic Catholic Church [the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, the ecclesiastical arm of the OTO]). Marcelo Motta, leader of the OTO in Brazil, learned through his own contacts in Brazillian intelligence that Schlag was in the employ of the psychological warfare section of the Israeli Shin Bet intelligence service, as well as the CIA (notice the association of magic with psychological warfare for as the witch Dr. Leo Martello notes: “…governments the world over have not hesitated to use occultism and witchcraft in what they term psi war ... psychological warfare.” – Weird Ways of Witchcraft). Motta became alarmed when the OTO allegedly staged a ‘courtroom coup’ and ousted Motta from ‘legal standing’ in the OTO in the eyes of the United States (Motta was replaced by the CIA-‘blessed’ U.S. Army Major Grady McMurtry who also had an Army Intelligence background. The CIA’s coup was successful with the ascension of fellow Thelemite Grady McMurtry [who had been a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO Agape Lodge] to OTO leadership, a prime example of an Intelligence undercover organizational takeover, though this time they utilized the full power of the American judicial system. McMurtry had previously personally received magic training from British Intelligence agent Aleister Crowley in England [See p.249 Strange Angel].** Grady McMurtry would eventually marry OTO-member Phyllis Seckler, a former disciple of Crowleyite Jane Wolfe). Motta was convinced the CIA was controlling the OTO behind the scenes through Schlag (“Abetting this conspiracy, alleged 440

Motta was ‘veteran British Intelligence agent’ Gerald Yorke [a former member of Crowley’s A:.A:. magic order].” – Secret Agent 666 p.262).” – Blood on the Altar by Craig Heimbichner, 2005 A.D. (** Grady McMurtry was a member along with his friend Jack Parsons [the leader of an American lodge of Aleister Crowley’s OTO magic order] of the LASFS [Los Angeles Science Fiction Society] which met regularly at Clifton’s Cafetaria in Hollywood, CA; Parsons was somewhat of a mentor to McMurtry who at one point in time was a frequent visitor to Jack Parsons’ home in Pasadena, CA when it was the communal home of the OTO’s Agape Lodge where resided various associated OTO lodge-members [See p.171 Strange Angel] and McMurtry was himself a known member of Jack Parsons’ OTO Agape Lodge [See p. 260 Secret Agent 666]) (*Karl Germer was appointed by Aleister Crowley as the Outer Head of the OTO. At Karl Germer’s death, as the official story goes, for want of an appointed successor, the OTO fractured [or rather, it was intentionally franchised] into many splinter groups/cells. Now such groups are Legion. In 1977 A.D., Grady McMurtry himself had founded the Berkeley, CA-based ‘Caliphate’ OTO, also known as the Thelema Lodge. After the death of McMurtry in 1985 A.D., Hymenaeus Beta, aka William Breeze from the bands Coil and Current 93 [‘93 Current’ is another name for Crowley’s system of Thelema: “The ‘93 Current’ is so-called because the Greek word ‘thelema,’ meaning ‘will,’ adds up to 93 by Greek gematria…” – p.9 Kaos by Joel Biroco], an American musician friend of William S. Burroughs and filmmaker/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger [Anger was himself at this time a Caliphate OTO member as well], was elected Frater Superior of the OTO in his stead. In 1989 A.D., William Breeze co-edited the New Falcon Publications** edition of Jack Parsons’ book Freedom is a Two-Edged Sword with Jack Parsons’ widow Marjorie Cameron. It is said: “(William) Breeze…holds an A.:A.: lineage from Marcela Motta.” – p.73 Kaos by Joel Biroco [** The president of which organization was Chicago-born occultist Christopher Hyatt, an OTO-member whom Aleister Crowley’s former secretary Israel Regardie had initiated into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn system in the 1970s]) (For more information, google the World League of Illuminati and the Psychosophical Society/Psychosophical Society Press/Psychosophical Institute Press/Psychosophical Company)

The OTO is a combined British/American psy-ops Intelligence operation: “US military-intelligence has demonstrated a deep and ongoing interest in the occult and cult organizations (as an example, many members of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan including Anton LaVey’s own personal secretary had been members of American Army Intelligence and these individuals would go on to found the Temple of Set organization headed by Michael A. Aquino, a senior member of Army Intelligence who was the officially recognized Satanic Chaplain of the United States Army), including the OTO (the Ordo Templi Orientis, British spy Aleister Crowley’s magical order). For instance, Alex Constantine writes that a “number of intelligence agents with occult interests already had their hooks into the OTO. One of them was (Thelemite) Gerald Yorke (1901 – 1983 A.D.), a veteran British intelligence agent working...‘with American intelligence in an attempt to absorb the OTO into the ideological warfare network of the political 441

right’ (by definition the conservative movement). And it may be worth noting that Retired Colonel (a high-ranking officer in US Army Intelligence) and Satanist, Michael Aquino (Aquino was a Church of Satan member from 1969 – 1975 A.D., including serving as personal secretary to Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey)…writes that his Temple of Set** ‘recognizes and enjoys cordial relations with the US OTO.’” - The Occult History of the National Security State, February 4, 2005 A.D. by Jeff Wells/Raiders News (** “The Temple of Set was established in 1975 by Lt. Colonel of the US Army Michael A. Aquino and certain members of the priesthood of the [of Anton LaVey’s] Church of Satan [and originally included upwards of 100 Church of Satan members]…The Temple of Set was incorporated in California that same year as a nonprofit church.” – Wikipedia: Temple of Set. The Temple of Set founding membership ranks also included a dozen or so other members who like Michael A. Aquino, the High Priest of the Temple of Set, also hailed from Army Intelligence (including yet another member of the illustrious Mann family, namely, Dennis Mann [See pp.361-380 Behold a Pale Horse]. According to Brian J. Walls of the 1990s California industrial metal band G.G.F.H. who was himself a part of that whole underground occult heavy metal magic scene: “My personal theory is that [Michael] Aquino is doing research for the military [as indeed he was—see From PSYOP to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory by Col. Paul E. Valley, Commander, with Major Michael A. Aquino, PSYOP Research & Analysis Team Leader, Headquarters, 7th Psychological Operations Group, United States Army Reserve, Presidio of San Francisco, CA (the Presidio originally was a U.S. military base under the command of various President Lincoln appointed generals from the U.S. Union Army including William T. Sherman), (this study even concludes with the recommended use of “extrememely low frequency” [ELF] waves as a means to achieve psychological victory over an opponent [which could as is noted in The Church of Satan: “…be used in conjunction with media broadcasts as well” and “inclining an audience towards…passivity” which theory since put into practice has no doubt itself given birth to the so-called ‘Couch Potato’ syndrome. People I implore you, turn off your television sets])], and the Temple of Set is an experiment [involved in fact in ‘psychotronic (aka parapsychology) research’ (Ibid p.369)]. There was a government experiment [MKULTRA] where the military wanted to investigate parapsychology and mind control. They tried it in clinical conditions and it was a total failure. By recruiting people who are interested in it, under non-clinical conditions as it were, they’re hoping to learn something. It’s not for me. They all take it awfully seriously – I find it both a little amusing and a little scary.” – p.185 Lucifer Rising. Of an interesting note, Anton LaVey’s daughter Zeena later broke ties with her father and his Church of Satan joining Aquino’s Temple of Set, deriding “the sickening repetitive flattery” Anton LaVey “extends to Zionism, Bolshevism and the state of Israel…” [Ibid p.159]). From yet another author with a military history and ties to Anton LaVey, namely, John A. Keel in his 1956 A.D. cult-underground mystical-magico classic, Jadoo (‘Jadoo’ is Hindu for ‘black magic’), we learn of: “…the following statement from Newsweek magazine, dated October 15, 1956: ‘Fantastic as it sounds, a serious psychological-research project being conducted for the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a study of the possible use of extrasensory perception (ESP). Those in on it are looking into the possibilities of using ESP not only to read the minds of Soviet leaders but to influence their thinking by long-range thought control.’” No doubt this project was a sub-project of MKULTRA: “While parapsychology has long been ridiculed by the scientific establishment, the CIA seriously entertained the notion that such phenomena might be highly significant for the spy trade…In 1952 the CIA initiated an extensive program involving "the search for and development of exceptionally gifted individuals who can approximate perfect success in ESP performance." The Office of Security, which ran the ARTICHOKE project (known as Operation Artichoke), was urged to follow "all leads on individuals reported to have true clairvoyant powers" so as to be able to 442

subject their claims to "rigorous scientific investigation." Along this line the CIA began infiltrating séances and occult gatherings. A memo dated April 9, 1953, refers to a domestic— and therefore illegal—operation that required the "planting of a very specialized observer" at a séance in order to obtain "a broad surveillance of all individuals attending the meetings."…during the late 1960s the CIA experimented with (Spiritualist) mediums in an effort to contact (and debrief?) dead agents. These attempts, according to Victor Marchetti, a former high-ranking CIA official, were part of a larger effort to harness psychic powers for various intelligence-related missions that included utilizing clairvoyants to divine the intentions of the Kremlin leadership. Secret ESP research is still being conducted, although CIA spokesmen refuse to comment on the nature of these experiments.” – Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSD: The CIA, The Sixties, and Beyond pp.23-24. The ultimate goal of the Temple of Set as Aquino himself explains on p.14 of his book Black Magic, was the attainment of “evolutionary divinity,” to achieve an advanced god-like state. One of the experts on ESP and occult knowledge with whom the CIA likely interacted was Anton LaVey himself (no doubt represented most notably by the presence of Army Intelligence officer Michael A. Aquino amongst the Church of Satan membership ranks). Indeed, as we learn from Black Sun, Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity by GoodrickClarke, 2002 A.D.: “(Anton) Lavey and (OTO-member Kenneth) Anger became fast friends and shared an interest in the more nefarious side of life (they had in fact previously been comembers of the OTO-associated Samson De Brier magic salon). The two men intensely studied such matters as werewolves, vampires, tarot, ESP and just about every other occult and mystical teaching under the sun. By 1961 they (Anton Lavey and Kenneth Anger) began to hold meetings (known as “midnight magic seminars”) at Lavey’s house (which would eventually go on to house the Church of Satan proper) where they charged for public lectures on occultism which attracted fairly large crowds as esoteric subjects began to become more and more popular.” As Michael A. Aquino goes on to explain in Black Magic: “By 1965 these (“midnight magic seminars”) had coalesced into a formal ‘Magic Circle.’ The success of this Circle prompted him to found the Church of Satan on Walpurgisnacht (April 30) of 1966… For the first four years of its existence, the Church remained essentially a San Francisco organization. Group rituals were held every Friday midnight at the LaVey residence, while during the week Anton gave lectures on various arcane subjects and taught classes to aspiring Witches and Warlocks (amongst whom were various members of what was to be known as the notorious Manson Family).” It would appear the Church of Satan was in fact a CIA construct (as an MKULTRA subproject), this also being similarly the case with the offshoot Temple of Set. A 1990s California-based offshoot faction of the Temple of Set known as the Ordo Templi Satanis was also later constituted which has the following as its stated goal: “The ultimate goal of the Order is to bring this nation (America) back to the Satanic principles upon which it was founded…” – p.215 Lucifer Rising (For more information on America’s Satanic roots see The Satanic States of America by John of the Gentiles). For more information concerning the Ordo Templi Satanis see the Ordo Templi Satanis’ Book of Darkness (1991 A.D.). As the reader shall later discover, there exists a nefarious though quite successful Satanic conspiracy for the control of these United States (no doubt acting through the CIA and the NSA).

The Temple of Set it must be noted was purposefully established in 1975 A.D. on the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of the Theosophical Society in America, itself established in 1875 A.D. This fact is not without occult significance. According to E. Adams in The Masters of Wisdom pp.22-23 (1890 A.D.): “Since the suppression of the archaic mysteries, the Mahatmas (fallen angels) make, at stated periods, active efforts on the physical plane to aid the upward progress 443

of mankind (toward an evolutionarily advanced god-like state) through appointed agents (such as Temple of Set-founder/NSA officer Michael A. Aquino). These epochs occur now in the last quarter of each century, and in accordance with the cyclic laws…the ‘Masters of Wisdom’ (the fallen angels, aka the Secret Chiefs) act… they look to the future, to the period that must soon come, when the now flowing tide will ebb, and their efforts cease until 1975 is sounded from the watch towers of time and a new mystic era commences again.” Significantly enough, the Temple of Set was established in 1975 A.D. to coincide with the onset of this “new mystic era,” what Michael A. Aquino himself identifies as the ‘Aeon of Set.’ As Doreen Valiente similarly notes in her book The Rebirth of Witchcraft: “For many years now, there has been a general belief among occultists that in about the last twenty-five years of each century a special impulse comes from higher planes to regenerate this planet.” The Theosophical Society as has been noted represented some rich and powerful interests. The following is exemplary: “In 1891, Henry Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company, and was promoted to Chief Engineer in 1893.” - Wikipedia: Edison Illuminating Company “While at the Edison Illuminating Company he (Henry Ford) met Thomas A. Edison (1847–1931 A.D., the Wizard (by definition a male witch) of Menlo Park, who eventually became one of his closest friends.” - www.notablebiographies.com As also noted previously, Thomas Edison was a member of the Theosophical Society and as we learn from A Guide to the Thomas A. Edison Papers edited by Thomas E. Jeffrey, Thomas Edison had in fact been in direct contact with Theosophical Society-founder H.P Blavatsky and her partner, theosophist Colonel H.S. Olcott. Though professedly acceptable of every creed, many members of the Theosophical Society were decidedly anti-Semetic in truth and deed (indeed, the rebel angels have long ruthlessly persecuted the descendents of Adam, the image of God, Jesus being the most prominent example). Of the very most of important notes, Henry Ford was a member of the Bohemian Club, the owners of the Bohemian Grove. Henry Ford was also a Freemason. Indeed, as regards the 444

charge of anti-Semitism: “In 1918, Ford’s closest aide and private secretary, Ernest G. Liebold, purchased an obscure weekly newspaper, The Dearborn Independent for Ford. The Independent ran for eight years, from 1920 until 1927, during which Liebold was editor. The newspaper published “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” (a text describing a Jewish design to attain global domination. Notable quote: “Municipalisation and Nationalisation which also are part of the Fabian scheme for world perfection. This ideal is to be achieved by the gradual expropriation and pauperisation of all classes by systematic, economic pressure, each class to be separately ruined according to the best means available for ruining it [under this plan the American middle-class is currently being systematically destroyed recently spearheaded by the meltdown of Lehman Bros. bank which had at one point been partly owned by Sir William Wiseman, 10th Baronet [no doubt as part of a Ministry of Economic Warfare-associated operation. The economic warfare tactics employed by these economic hitmen include the targeted collapse of a nation’s economy]. Wiseman himself was a British Intelligence agent under the command of SIS [MI6] director Mansfield Smith-Cumming]. Municipalisation and Nationalisation means control by government, or, in other words, domination by ONE GREAT TRUST. Is this Socialism? There is nothing new or extraordinary in this plan for World control by a centralized, Super-Capitalist power. It is the plan so minutely explained in The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion. It is the plan of modern Judeo-Masonic Russian Soviet Communism. It is the plan of Weishaupt’s Illuminati and that of International Freemasonry.” - Occult Theocrasy), which was discredited by The Times of London as a forgery during the Independent’s publishing run (a dubious distinction in itself seeing as how The Times was the official newspaper of the British ‘Establishment’ owned at this point by Lord Northcliffe [Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliff, related by marriage to the Illuminati-founding Rothschild family] who was at this time serving as Ministry of Information Intelligence chief Lord Beaverbrook’s Director of Propaganda [See p.225 Churchill’s Wizards] whose very job it was to discredit such anti-British foreign and domestic forces and with Ford at this point providing aid and comfort to Britain’s mortal enemies he most certainly fit this bill). The American Jewish Historical Society described the ideas presented in the magazine as “anti-immigrant, anti-labor, anti-liquor, and anti445

Semitic.” In February 1921, the New York World published an interview with Ford, in which he said “The only statement I care to make about the Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on.” During this period, Ford emerged as “a respected spokesman for rightwing extremism and religious prejudice,” reaching around 700,000 readers through his newspaper (See p.168 Anti-Semitism in America by Charles Y. Glock and Harold E. Quinley, 1983 A.D.)…During the Weimar Republic in the early 1920s, the Protocols was reprinted and published in Germany, along with anti-Jewish articles first published by (Ford’s) The Dearborn Independent and reprinted in translation in Germany as a set of four bound volumes, cumulatively titled The International Jew, the World's Foremost Problem. Ford is the only American mentioned in (Adolf Hitler’s novel) Mein Kampf. Steven Watts wrote that Hitler ‘revered’ Ford, proclaiming that “I shall do my best to put his theories into practice in Germany, and modeling the Volkswagen, the people’s car, on the model T.” (See Watts, The People’s Tycoon [2005] p.xi)…” – Wikipedia: Henry Ford (The magical automaton known as the Model T was so designated in honor of the fallen angel Azazel, one of whose symbols was the tau cross, which was rendered in Greek as a T [See Appendix A at the end of this book])

(Enter Mrs. Webster): “Nesta Helen Webster, (Mrs. Arthur Webster), (24 August 1876 – 16 May 1960) was a controversial historian, occultist, and author who revived conspiracy theories about the Illuminati. She argued that the secret society’s members were occultists, plotting communist world domination, using the idea of a Jewish cabal, the Masons and Jesuits as a smokescreen. According to her, their international subversion included the French Revolution, 1848 Revolution, the First World War, and the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. In 1920, Webster was one of the contributing authors who wrote The Jewish Peril, a series of articles in the London Morning Post, centered on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. These articles were subsequently compiled and published in the same year, in book form under the title of The Cause of World Unrest. She was cited respectfully by Winston Churchill, “This movement among the Jews ... as Mrs. Webster has so ably shown, [played] a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution.” … In “World Revolution,” Webster compares the Protocols to writings attributed to the Illuminati, asserting that they hold most similarity to the activities of Illuminized Freemasonry. 446

([See] World Revolution' p. 306)... Following the First World War she gave a lecture on the Origin and Progress of World Revolution to the officers of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich. By special request she repeated the lecture to the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Brigade of Guards in Whitehall, and then she was asked to repeat it a third time to the officers of the Secret Service. It was at their special request that she wrote the World Revolution: The Plot Against Civilisation, based on these lectures. Her charisma helped her to captivate some of the leading literary, political and military minds of her day. Lord Kitchener in India described her as the “foremost opponent of subversion.” In 1919 Webster published The French Revolution: a Study in Democracy where she claimed that a secret conspiracy had prepared and carried out the French Revolution. Winston Churchill was convinced by this theory and in 1920 wrote: “This conspiracy against civilization dates from the days of Weishaupt ... as a modern historian Mrs. Webster has so ably shown, it played a recognizable role on the French Revolution.” In her autobiography, Spacious Days, she argued that there was an “attempt to boycott my books in those quarters where the plan of world revolution was secretly entertained.” Webster also published Secret Societies and Subversive Movements, The Need for Fascism in Great Britain, the Menace of Communism (with Mrs. Katherine Atkinson) and The Origin and Progress of the World Revolution. In the latter book, published in 1921, she wrote: “What mysteries of iniquity would be revealed if the Jew, like the mole, did not make a point of working in the dark! Jews have never been more Jews than when we tried to make them men and citizens.” In her books, Webster argued that Bolshevism was part of a much older and more secret, self-perpetuating conspiracy. She described three possible sources for this conspiracy: Zionism, Pan-Germanism, or “the occult power.” She stated that she leaned towards Zionism as the most likely culprit of the three (this author would say it was “the occult power” of the fallen angels working through all occult organizations including those individuals involved in the Zionism and Pan-Germanism movements). She also claimed that even if the Protocols were fake, they still describe how Jews behave.” Webster became involved in several right-wing groups including the British Fascists, The Link** (an Anglo-German friendship organization dating from the 1930s included amongst whose ranks was British Admiral Sir Barry Edward Domvile who had served as the director of the Department of Naval Intelligence from 1927 – 447

1930 A.D. and who notably enough had attended Hitler’s 1936 A.D. Nuremberg Rally as a guest of German Ambassador Joachim von Ribbentrop), and the British Union of Fascists (a pro-German organization formed in 1932 A.D. by Sir Oswald Mosley, a member of P.M. Ramsey MacDonald’s Labour cabinet. One of Mosley’s closest allies in this endeavor was Aleister Crowley’s friend, J.F.C. Fuller, a leading member of the British Union of Fascists). She was also the leading writer of the anti-Semitic “The Patriot,” where she supported the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany. She later published Germany and England in which she suggested that Adolf Hitler had successfully halted the Jewish attempt to control the world.” – Wikipedia: Nesta Helen Webster (** As we learn from Anthony Masters in The Man Who Was M: The Life of Charles Henry Maxwell Knight, Ian Fleming [working in the Department of Naval Intelligence] used The Link organization mentioned above in his ruse to induce Rudolph Hess to come to Britain) (Pertinent Quote: “People researching the role of secret societies in world history will sooner or later encounter the writings of Nesta H. (Mrs. Arthur) Webster. Mrs. Webster’s works were published during the first two decades of the 20th century and they bear such titles as The French Revolution, World Revolution, The Socialist Network, Surrender of an Empire, and Secret Societies and Subversive Movements. The main thrust of her books is that secret societies, especially the Knights Templar Freemasons, have been responsible for instigating most of the major revolutions of the past two hundred years.” – p.446 The Gods of Eden by William Bramley, 1989 A.D.) (Author’s Note: Never trust anyone who denigrates ‘conspiracy theorists’; nines times out of ten they are co-conspirators. This may also work in a converse manner, as nine out of ten ‘conspiracy theorists’ may be in fact just that, while one in ten are conspirators infiltrating the ranks to make others look like cukes and cranks. As the reader will later discover, this strategy was also successfully employed in an effort to discredit civilian UFO research in America, and seems lately to have been employed to discredit Christianity itself) (It is interesting to note the fact that a former leader of the Stella Matutina magic order, the Stella Matutina being a successor organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn itself, would herself confirm the conspiratorial nature of these secret organizations. As noted by Francis King in The Rebirth of Witchcraft p.133, it was Nesta Webster’s friend, one Christina Mary Stoddart, the former leader of a Stella Matutina magic lodge in London who would later turn: “…her attention to ultra-right politics…becoming an associate of the late Nesta Webster. The latter, an enthusiastic advocate of the conspiracy theories developed by such early 19th century writers as Robison and Barruel, believed that the French Revolution had been engineered by sinister freemasons and Illuminati. Miss Stoddart not only came to share these beliefs but to extend them; all occult secret societies, but particularly the Golden Dawn and the Stella Matutina, were agents of the Jewish conspiracy partially revealed in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion…The German General Staff and the emerging nationalist parties of the Weimar Republic were revealed, like the Golden Dawn, to be mere agents or the Jewish plan for world domination” [See The Lightbearers of Darkness (1930 A.D.) authored by Christina Mary Stoddart].)

In years prior: “He (Henry Ford) opened Ford assembly plants in Britain and Canada in 1911, and soon became the biggest automotive producer in those 448

countries. In 1912, Ford cooperated with Agnelli of Fiat to launch the first Italian automotive assembly plants. The first plants in Germany were built in the 1920s (“Ford of Germany, of which [John Foster] Dulles’s law partner Heinrich Albert was chairman.” – p.548 Treason in America) with the encouragement of (U.S. President) Herbert Hoover and the Commerce Department (additionally, Ford also built the Soviet Union’s first automobile plant in Gorki during the 1930s, all major World War II combatant countries, it is interesting to note)...On February 1, 1924 Ford received Kurt Ludecke, a representative of Hitler, at his home. Ludecke was introduced to Ford by Siegfried Wagner (son of the famous composer Richard Wagner) and his wife Winifred (Winifred was a close friend of German chancellor Adolf Hitler), both Nazi sympathizers and anti-Semites (“Years later, in 1977, Winifred claimed that Ford had told her that he had helped finance Hitler”**) (See pp.50-54 The American Axis: Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and the Rise of the Third Reich by Max Wallace, 2004 A.D.)...In July 1938, prior to the outbreak of war, the German consul at Cleveland gave Ford, on his 75th birthday, the award of the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest medal Nazi Germany could bestow on a foreigner...” – Wikipedia: Henry Ford (** In the December 20, 1922 A.D. edition of The New York Times it was reported that Henry Ford was in fact financing Adolf Hitler)

“In the United States The Protocols (of the Elders of Zion) are to be understood in the context of the Red scare, the First Red Scare (1917– 1920). The text circulated in 1919 (which was the same year Hitler was busy identifying Communists for execution in Germany) in American government circles, specifically diplomatic and military, in typescript form, a copy of which is archived by the Hoover Institute.” Wikipedia: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (Norman Cohn in Warrant for Genocide impugns the Protocols of the Elders of Zion for being the motivating factor behind the massive deportation and systematic execution of Jews during World War II although it is British/American eugenics organizations which garner much of the blame) The Red Scare followed the Communist Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 A.D. in Russia which took place at the height of World War I. The idea of Jewish Bolshevism was based on the belief that Jews were responsible for the modern Communist movement, most specifically for the Russian Bolsheviks (#2 Bolshevik Leon Trotsky was Jewish 449

and Communism itself has long had Jewish roots, from the communal living arrangements of the Judaic community of the Essenes who possessed all their properties and possessions in common living in an arrangement “amounting to a kind of communism” [See pp.19-20 Jewish Mysticism] to the Jewish disciples of Jesus who likewise “neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common” [See Acts 2:44 and Acts 4:32], the group even sharing a common purse [See John 12:6]. See also Proverbs 1:14). Could Hitler’s rise to power have been a covert U.S.-British attempt at thwarting an alleged Zionist/Communist plot? You make the call. It seems to bear all the earmarks of an American modus operandi, it would seem, a modern example being the CIA’s support of Saddam Hussein in his early revolutionary endeavors, over whose person they later lose control, prompting war in which America takes over. Indeed, as we learn from the November 20, 2010 A.D. Haaretz article entitled CIA created ‘safe haven’ for Nazis following WWII, report finds: New York Times obtains complete version of U.S. Justice Department report detailing the CIA’s use of Nazi émigrés for post-war intelligence purposes: “American intelligence officials created a ‘safe haven’ in the United States for Nazis and their collaborators following World War II, the New York Times reported over the weekend, citing a 600-page U.S. Justice Department report that it obtained. According to the Times report, the Central Intelligence Agency used Nazi émigrés for post-war intelligence purposes.” Including no doubt in the field of rocketry and other classified scientific disciplines under the Navy’s Operation Paperclip. One will find it is the same people working with American Intelligence agencies after the war as it was working with them before the war. Perhaps Waffen SS General Karl Wolff with whom Allen Dulles negotiated the secret surrender of SS forces in northern Italy at the end of WWII in what is known as Operation Sunrise also belongs to this list—it is alledged Wolff worked for the CIA during the Cold War until his arrest in 1962 A.D. for his own role in the Holocaust. Interestingly enough, in October of 1942 A.D., CIA DCI/American President George H.W. Bush’s father, Prescott Bush was among those charged with aiding and abetting Hitler and the Nazis and the Harriman Bank’s Union Banking Corporation [for which Prescott Bush’s employer E. Roland Harriman, father of the CIA-associated W. Averell Harriman, served as an officer] was seized by the U.S. Alien Property Custodian for violations of the Trading with the Enemy Act (it is unclear whether 450

or not [though likely] FDR presidential cabinet member Leo Thomas Crowley, the Alien Property Custodian, was himself related to British spy Aleister Crowley). As Franklin D. Roosevelt’s special envoy to Europe, it was W. Averell Harriman who helped coordinate America’s Lend-Lease program which ran from 1941 – 1945 A.D. The Harriman family like Henry Ford was intimately involved in arming both sides in the war. Revealingly enough, the Bush family (and its variant spelling, Busch) is a prominent German/Bavarian name (think: Bavarian Illuminati). ‘Coincidentally’ enough, in 1919 A.D. as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion circulated within American diplomatic and military circles, the anti-Semitic Adolf Hitler makes a rather timely appearance (Hitler was it is said, a British spy [See Hitler Was a British Agent by Greg Hallet, 2005 A.D.] and Hess, Hitler’s Deputy in the Nazi Party, as you recall, had been a member of British Intelligence agent Aleister Crowley’s OTO organization): “On 5 January 1919, the locksmith Anton Drexler, and five other men (one of whom was Dietrich Eckart, a citizen of the German Palatinate located in the Kingdom of Bavaria), founded the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP — German Workers' Party), the predecessor of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP — National Socialist German Workers’ Party). In July 1919, the Reichswehr intelligence department dispatched Corporal Adolf Hitler, as a Verbindungsmann (police spy) to infiltrate and subvert the DAP (as he had similarly infiltrated the ranks of the Communists). His oratory so impressed the DAP members, they asked him join the party, and, in September 1919, the police spy Hitler became the party’s propagandist. On 24 February 1920, the DAP (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; German Worker’s Party) was renamed the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, against Hitler’s preferred “Social Revolutionary Party” name. Later, in consolidating his control of the NSDAP, Hitler ousted Drexler (Hitler’s political mentor) from the party and assumed leadership on 29 July 1921.” – Wikipedia: Nazism Treason in America by Executive Intelligence Review documents Hitler’s rise to power in this wise: “Indeed, it was Truman Smith (an officer [chief political assistant] in the Office of Civil 451

Affairs in the U.S. Army occupying Germany following its defeat in WWI and under nominal command of Allen Dulles) who introduced Hitler to Hanfstaengl—deployment which Hanfstaengl viewed as an assignment from ‘American’ Intelligence…to work for the Nazis. A recent slogan in Boston politics had it that ‘before Hitler there was Harvard.’ Its truth is borne out in the person of Ernst ‘Putzi’ Hanfstaengl. Putzi’s father was a fancy art dealer in Munich (in Bavaria, Munich being home to the Illuminati ‘mother Lodge’), catering to the art-trading aristocratic flotsam and jetsam from Eastern Europe who tended to collect in Bavaria. The Hanfstaengl’s had been privy councilors to Coburg Princes (Coburg is a town in Bavaria. The British Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, was born there, as was one of her closest advisors, Louise Lehzen, the Baroness of the Kingdom of Hanover who served as Queen Victoria’s childhood governess). Putzi’s mother was a Sedgwick from Boston, a ‘Boston Brahmin.’ Thus, around the turn of the century Hanfstaengl came to America and entered Harvard University (the educational bulwark of the Boston Brahmin). At Harvard Putzi became close to a son of President Theodore Roosevelt, and was invited to the White House. He and Teddy Roosevelt hit it off, and their friendship continued until Roosevelt’s death in 1919. After Harvard, Hanfstaengl went to work managing his family’s bookshop-to-thearistocracy on New York’s Fifth Avenue (Ernst Hanfstaengl was a Harvard Universitygraduate/friend of Walter Lippman as well as a descendent of Union Civil War general/Boston Brahmin John Sedgwick (Union Civil War General John Sedgwick was named after his paternal grandfather, John Sedgwick [brother of Continental Congress delegate Theodore Sedgwick], an American Revolutionary War general who served under General George Washington. They are related to Massachusett’s Bay Colony colonist Major General Robert Sedgwick, a close associate of John Winthrop the Younger, the son of John Winthrop, first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony). Prior to WWI, Hanfstaengl had been a member of the Harvard Club of New York where he became acquainted with Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt, his chief circle of acquaintances including newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst and actor Charlie Caplin [another major figure in this scheme is Hitler’s Reichsbank President and Minister of Economics, Hjalmar Schacht, who also knew Theodore Roosevelt and was a personal friend of John Foster Dulles, whose own friends and associates would themselves provide the funding for Hitler’s nascent Nazi regime]). When World War I came, he would normally have been interned along with other German aliens, but he was kept free by a well connected lawyer, Elihu Root (whose clients included E.H. Harriman), who had been Teddy Roosevelt’s Secretary of State (a former Senator from New York, Elihu Root would serve as president and chairman of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, founding trustees of which included Harvard University president Charles William Eliot and former U.S. Secretary of State/Harvard grad John W. Foster, grandfather of U.S. Secretary of State/Carnegie Endowment for International Peace president John Foster Dulles). Around 1920 Hanfstaengl returned to Germany. Wanting it to be understood that he did his work as an ‘American (Intelligence) agent,’ Hanfstaengl recorded in his memoirs his assignment by U.S. military attachѐ Captain Truman Smith (under nominal command of Allen Dulles; during WWII itself, Allen Dulles would serve as handler for highranking German diplomat/spy Fritz Kolbe [who would provide the Americans with details of the German V1 and V2 rockets and the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter] as well), during Smith’s fateful visit to Bavaria in 1922: To link up with a rising young politician who seemed certain of success, Adolf Hitler. Under the watchful eye of Consul General Robert Murphy (Robert Daniel Murphy, who also worked with Allen Dulles, was later involved at Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s request in Operation Torch), Putzi Hanfstaengl joined Hitler’s Nazi movement. He personally financed the conversion of the Nazi newspaper into a daily. He introduced Hitler to the top ranks of the Bavarian aristocracy, the friends of the Hanfstaengls, who opened their purses for the mustachioed Corporal (Adolf Hitler) (the CIA-associated Bush/Harriman families along with Henry Ford provided funds for the Nazi regime as well). Among these family friends were the Bruckmanns (NSDAP-member Hugo and Elsa Bruckmann, British author Houston Stewart Chamberlain’s very own publishers [Chamberlain 452

it is interesting to note was by his own admission demon-possessed]. A member of the ‘Bayreuth Circle’ which served as propagandists aiding in Hitler’s rise, Chamberlain was a close associate of Richard Wagner’s widow, Cosima, and had even married Wagner’s daughter, Eva von Bülow**), the publishers of British-linked geopolitician Karl Haushofer (Karl Haushofer was the teacher/mentor of Rudolph Hess [a member of British spy Aleister Crowley’s OTO magic order], Adolf Hitler’s Deputy in the Nazi Party. Haushofer had at onepoint been a student of the Russian ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff. Karl Haushofer was also a friend of the consummate Brit, Bertrand Russell (a man with extensive British Intelligence associations). In 1923 Hitler made his first attempt at revolution, the ‘Beer Hall’ putsch. Personally, physically on hand throughout the entire affair, was U.S. Consul General Robert Murphy in the Beer Hall and in the streets when the shooting started. So was Putzi Hanfstaengl, at Hitler’s side as the Führer’s representative to the foreign press correspondents (who were in all likelihood secret agents themselves, journalism being a favorite ‘cover’ for spies and other Carbonari Youth Movement members) who gathered in Munich. The coup attempt collapsed. Hitler fled Munich and was driven to Hanfstaengl’s country house, where Putzi’s wife and sister hid and nursed him. Hitler was arrested there after two days, and sentenced to prison for treason. There he wrote Mein Kampf (Mein Kampf interestingly enough champions a military alliance between Germany and England), and there Putzi and his aristocratic circle visited him to plot the future of the Nazi movement. As the Nazi movement grew, Hanfstaengl with his American connections remained Hitler’s spokesman to the foreign press, most importantly the New York and London papers (including the Churchill family’s New York Times and the Youth Movement’s New York Tribune newspapers). He held this job until 1937…Ernst Hanfstaengl eventually fled Germany in the late 1930s. He was interned in a British prison camp, but was released with the help of ‘London friends in high places,’ and was eased into a job with American military intelligence (the OSS), ‘interpreting the Nazis to the Americans.’” – Treason in America pp.543-4 (**Richard Wagner’s hometown of Bayreuth, an appanage for the descendents of the Rosicrucian King Frederick William II of Prussia, was a center of Nazi ideology which played an essential role in the burgeoning fortunes of Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP, later known as the German Nazi Party—Hitler had even once delivered a speech at Richard Wagner’s villa Wahnfried located there in Bayreuth. One-time British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour himself had ties to Richard Wagner’s wife Cosima Wagner and even “shared many of her anti-Semitic postulates” [See Treason in America p.464 along with Balfour’s own biography, Arthur James Balfour pp.139,157].

Winston Churchill) (***The Cornell University school of magic is home to the Quill and Dagger secret society founded in 1893 A.D.: “From 1913 to 1984, Quill and Dagger had at least one member in the U.S. Congress every single year. In recent decades, the society has had a strong presence in the U.S. State Department and related government positions, with two National Security Advisors, two Directors of Policy Planning, and numerous assistant secretaries and senior advisers. Additionally, two members recently served as World Bank presidents, and a large number of members serve on the Council on Foreign Relations. Many of these government officials interact regularly in their professional duties. At least five members of George W. Bush's administration were Quill and Dagger members: Stephen Friedman, Stephen Krasner, Paul Wolfowitz, Stephen Hadley, and Carol Kuntz. President Barack Obama's administration includes [Quill and Dagger members] Deputy Secretary of Labor Seth Harris, Associate Counsel to the President Alison J.

During the 1930s through 1950s, the chairmen of Standard Oil, Sun Oil (now Sunoco), and Continental Oil (now ConocoPhillips) companies were Quill and Dagger members, and many other advanced positions in these corporations were held by society members. Younger [Quill and Dagger] members who entered the oil industry at this time would gain industry prominence later in the century, with one becoming chairman of Amoco in the 1990s.

Britain in fact has long had had an intricate royal association with the Germanic peoples since the days of the Hanoverian 454

Succession beginning in 1701 A.D. with the signing of the Act of Settlement when the Germanic House of Hanover regally ascended to the British royal throne, and which ‘officially’ ended in 1901 A.D. with the death of Queen Victoria (Joachim Ribbentrop, Foreign Minister for Germany under Adolf Hitler, later hanged for war crimes at Nuremberg, had lived in England and received his education at London University, had worked for the British in Canada and resided with Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught, son of Queen Victoria herself, at Connaught’s Irish manor, peerage home to the “Devil’s Own” Connaught Rangers [See pp.520-521 Treason in America], and province home to the devil’s own Lady Gregory and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grandmaster W.B. Yeats. As we learn from Wikipedia: “In 1837, the personal union of the United Kingdom and Hanover ended as William IV’s heir in the United Kingdom was female (Queen Victoria). According to Salic Law Hanover could only be inherited by males.” Palace intrigues being as they are wholly Machavellian in nature, perhaps Hitler’s rise can be classified as an attempt to reclaim this throne. Hitler had originally envisioned a German-British alliance, and such an affiliation had been a similar goal of the Astor family’s pro-Nazi Clivedon set. The Astor family itself hails from the German Electoral Palatinate, home of the Bavarian Illuminati]. As author William Bramley explains: “The first Hanoverian king to take the British throne was George Louis, who became George I of England…The Hanoverians provided England with all of its monarchs [including George III from whom America would declare its independence] through 1901 [at the death of an heirless Queen Victoria], and Hanoverian descendants from Queen Victoria’s side have furnished the rest all the way up until today. During all of that time, the dynasty continued to maintain strong ties to other German noble families.” - The Gods of Eden. The Lord Mayor of Hanover and his commissioners were members of the Nazi party, and Hanover was the scene of a great Jewish slaughter on Kristallnacht as well, a fact made all the more interesting when one considers Ribbentrop’s brother Bertholdt to be a major champion of the English eugenics movement of the day [See Treason in America p.519]. (This latter day English-German partnership must be viewed as a continuation of the partnership between the English and German Rosicrucian groups, the English section of which was headed by the Invisible College which gave birth to the Royal Society, members of which were largely responsible for the colonization of Massachusetts 455

and the creation of Harvard University which institution was connected to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [the magicpracticing inner--circle of the Theosophical Society] most notably enough through Harvard University professor/Theosophical Societymember William James and the SPR/ASPR and which aided in Hitler’s rise to power. Remember, ‘before Hitler there was Harvard’) (Author’s Note: The reason why President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination was so similar in nature to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination is that they were both carried out by members of the same associated group [as was Robert Kennedy’s assassination as well]. Key members involved in the Lincoln assassination conspiracy were the grandfathers of those involved in the Kennedy assassination conspiracy. Both assassinations were carried out by members of the following associated groups: the Rosicrucians/Illuminati/Carbonari/Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Fabian Society/Yale Skull and Bones, as a group of Rosicrucians would form the Illuminati which would morph into the Carbonari, members of which would form the Theosophical Society [the magic-practicing inner-circle of which was the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] of which the Fabian Society was its political arm, an offshoot of which was Yale’s Skull and Bones [various members of all of which were associated with Bavarian, British and U.S. Intelligence agencies]) (Concerning the history of the influx of Jews to Palestine: “There were several waves of ‘aliya’ (literal translation, “ascension”), first in the eighties [1880s] and nineties [1890s] of the last century [the 19th Century], of Jews fleeing persecution in Rumania and Russia. Baron Edmund de Rothschild helped settle a swarm of Jews, mainly from Rumania. These also started colonies and sang around new Hebrew camp fires. At the opening of the [20th] century came the first large flocks of the original ‘Zionists,’ most of them from Russia. They brought with them intellectual ferment. Many of them were Tolstoyan socialists, and all of them were full of dreams of a new Zion. Out of these bands of settlers came the future ruling clique of Israel. In the thirties [1930s] came a great surge of Jews out of Poland. These were chiefly workmen and their families, more tools in their kits than dreams; house builders and plow hands. They came to Zion as its people, and remained its people. The advent of Hitler in 1933 brought a massive wave of immigrants from Germany [Ashkenazi Jews]. Hitler’s oratory had uprooted them from their long-beloved German cities and villages [as noted by Jewish Kabalist Rabbi Joshua Trachtenberg in the Preface to his book Jewish Magic and Superstition (1939 A.D.) it is Ashkenazi Jews “emanating from the Germanic lands” which constitute “the mass of Jews in Europe and the Americas.” One must also add Israel to this list]. They brought with them the German talent for music, philosophy [read: magic practices], and truth-telling, the German pedantry and respect for the law—all the things that the new Third Reich had decided to jettison. There were also among them people of financial talent [bankers]. The next wave was the ‘illegal’ immigration, beginning in 1937. Defying the [British] quota and later the White Paper,** in ships of every size, tens of thousands from Central Europe and the 456

Balkans came flocking to Palestine. Most of them were young Jews. The last wave was the million from everywhere, including the [German] concentration camps [of WWII], who hied them to Israel when it became an independent state [in 1948 A.D.]. The dam was broken. Israelis poured in.” - Perfidy by Ben Hecht) (** “In 1939, Great Britain issued the famous White Paper on the Palestine situation. This royal document contained two major points. One, Jews were almost completely barred from buying any more land in Palestine. Two, the White Paper proclaimed a last limited immigration for Palestine and then ordered its ports closed as soon as this last handful passed the Customs. The ‘Protectorate Policy’ then warned any Jews who might try to evade extermination at Nazi hands by sneaking into the Holy Land that they would be treated as enemies of the [British] Crown.” – p.13 Perfidy by Ben Hecht)

(Enter the Golden Dawn): “In 1888, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was born, beginning a renaissance of interest in the occult that has continued to the present day. It is impossible to overstate the importance of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn to modern occultists; not only through its rituals, but also through its personalities and, of course, the Order’s making available a large body of occult lore that would otherwise have remained unknown or hidden in obscurity…We cannot look at the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn in isolation from its own origins. It is descended from a myriad of esoteric traditions including (German) Rosicrucianism, Theosophy and Freemasonry – the latter in its own right, as well as via the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA), a scholarly and ceremonial (magic) association open to Master Masons only…Whether the German Lodge or its obliging representative Frau Sprengel actually existed is a matter still under debate but, either in fact or in spirit, these were the source for the Cipher Manuscripts which were used to found the Isis-Urania Lodge (the original lodge of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn located in London, England which would later be known as the Stella Matutina) in 1888. Isis-Urania was founded by Dr. William Wynn Westcott, Dr. William Woodman, and Samuel Liddell (“MacGregor”) Mathers. Not only were all three Master Masons, Westcott and Mathers were also members of the Theosophical Society. Most importantly though, the three were a ruling triumvirate that managed the affairs of the SRIA. This is significant, for the SRIA numbered among its members Hargrave Jennings, who is reputed to have been involved with a Pagan group (reputedly a “coven” which met in the Cambridge area during the 1870s A.D.) at the end of the 19th century which drew its inspiration from Apuleius’ The Golden Ass. But back to the (Hermetic Order of 457

the) Golden Dawn. Whether the Cipher Manuscripts actually existed (the Cipher Manuscripts were “a collection of 60 folios containing the structural outline of a series of magical initiation rituals…used as the structure for the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn…The Cipher Manuscripts are the original source upon which the rituals and the knowledge lectures of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn were based. The basic structure of the rituals and the names of the Grades are similar to those of the Rosicrucian orders Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA) and the German 'Orden der Gold- und Rosenkreuzer'.” – Wikipdeia. Founded in Berlin, Frederick William II King of Prussia, the son of King Frederick the Great [b. September 25, 1744 – d. November 16, 1797 A.D.], had himself belonged to the Gold-und Rosenkreuz Rosicrucian order), or Westcott manufactured them is now largely irrelevant (these rituals are similar to that to be found in highdegree Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism). Mathers was commissioned to edit the rituals into a workable shape, and thus the Golden Dawn was born. Members of the Isis-Urania Lodge (which allegedly included Hess) at various times also included Allan Bennett (“Charles Henry Allan Bennett (1872 – 1923) was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He was a friend, mentor and associate of author and occultist Aleister Crowley. Bennett received the name Bhikkhu Ananda Metteyya at his ordination as a Buddhist monk and spent years studying and practicing Buddhism in the East. He was the second Englishman to be ordained as a Buddhist monk (Bhikkhu) of the Theravada tradition and was instrumental in introducing Buddhism in England. He established the first Buddhist Mission in the United Kingdom.” – Wikipedia), Moina Mathers (nѐe Bergson, “…sister of French philosopher Henri Bergson [Henri Bergson served as the Society for Psychical Research’s president in 1913 A.D.], the first man of Jewish descent to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1927.

Lady Gregory’s son was Major Robert Gregory, a member of “the Devil’s own” Connaught Rangers [an Irish battalion of the British Army] who had served and died during World War I. W.B. Yeat’s had penned a number of poems in his honor. Lady Gregory’s husband, the Illuminus statesman William Henry Gregory, was a Privy Councillor of Ireland who had long term and extensive associations with the British Museum in London and had been an avid supporter of the Confederate States of America, an associate of many prominent southern Successionist congressmen including prominent South Carolinians; no doubt he had played a major behind the scenes role in the Carbonari/Conderate scheme to succede from the Union. Even prior to his marriage to Lady Gregory, however, William Henry Gregory had been married to the granddaughter of James Bowdoin. James Bowdoin was a founding member of the American Academy of 460

Arts and Sciences, a Fellow of the Royal Society in England and a known associate of Benjamin Franklin; James Bowdoin had played a key role in the American Revolution on the side of the Illuminus revolutionaries.

From the Isis-Urania Lodge sprang all the others, including the so-called Dissident Orders derived through (Aleister) Crowley (including the A:.A:.). It is this line that some commentators trace to modern Wicca (Gerald B. Gardner had in fact been granted an OTO charter from Aleister Crowley himself***), so it is upon the one that we will now concentrate. Aleister Crowley was initiated into the Isis-Urania Lodge on November 18, 1898. He later quarrelled with Mathers (a typical ruse to create a new cell), and in 1903 created his own Order, the Argenteum Astrum (A:.A:.) (Silver Star). In 1912, Crowley was initiated into the OTO, and in 1921, succeeded Theodor Reuss as its Chief…” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition (** Notable Quote: “The year after Isis 461

Unveiled [was released, being published in 1877 A.D., a best seller in its day], Madame Blavatsky decided to move the [Theosophical] Society to India, where it achieved considerable success. A book about her teachings—or rather, those of the Masters [the fallen angels]—called Esoteric Buddhism by A.P. Sinnett also became a bestseller, and spread the doctrine far and wide; there were soon branches of the Theosophical Society in every capital in Europe…Moreover, Sinnett was no crank; he was the respectable editor of India’s most respectable newspaper, the voice of the [British political] establishment. Esoteric Buddhism was like the falling rock that starts a landslide. The poet W.B. Yeats read it, and was wildly excited. He handed it to his friend Charles Johnston, who immediately rushed to London to get permission to set up a Dublin branch of the Theosophical Society. And the same thing happened in Paris, Berlin, Rome, Vienna…” – pp.20-21 Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast by Colin Wilson, 1987 A.D.) (*** “In England, after Crowley’s death, there were several individuals who were members of the OTO but only one person who was chartered by Crowley to conduct a lodge of the OTO. This was a man not usually associated with Crowleyan occultism but a self-styled witch - the late Gerald Gardner, the individual who was largely responsible for the mushroom growth of modern witchcraft. He was on friendly terms with Crowley for some years, was a fourth-degree initiate of the OTO and was authorized by Crowley to set up a 'camp' of the order ['a Camp, Lodge, or Temple of the OTO'] conferring its first three degrees on those who desired them.” – p.175 The Magical World of Aleister Crowley by Francis King) (Another link between Aleister Crowley and the Dublin, Ireland born playwright George Bernard Shaw was English poet/author/playwright Clifford Bax through whom Crowley was introduced to Lady Freida Harris and to Crowley’s own biographer John Symmonds. Both George Bernard Shaw and Clifford Bax were members of the Incorporated Stage Society [established 1899 A.D.], a private membership-only organization constituted with the express purpose of circumventing British laws banning obscene plays from ‘public’ performance. The Incorporated Stage Society produced over 200 plays mainly at the Royal Court Theatre in Chelsea, London by authors including George Bernard Shaw and Kenneth Anger’s friend Jean Cocteau. Freida Harris, who became a member of Aleister Crowley’s A.:A.: magic order [Freida Harris, a Surrealist artist,*** provided the artistic design for Crowley’s Thoth Tarot deck circa 1938 462

A.D.], was married to Sir Percy Harris, 1st Baronet who would be appointed Privy Councillor [an advisor to Queen Elizabeth II] in 1940 A.D. After the death of Crowley in 1947 A.D., Freida Harris was known to correspond with both Gerald B. Gardner [Gardner had received an OTO charter prior to Crowley’s death] and Karl Germer [it was Germer who would replace Aleister Crowley as outer head of the OTO upon Crowley’s death in 1947 A.D.], retaining her OTO associations. Clifford Bax’s brother, poet/composer Arnold Bax, was part of the Dublin group which centered upon Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member George William Russell. Russell was a member of the Dublin lodge of the Theosophical Society and a frequent visitor to its London lodge as well as a lifelong friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats. Clifford Bax was also known to work with A.:A.: member Austin Osman Spare [for instance, they were co-editors of The Golden Hind quarterly magazine of art and literature from 1922 – 1924 A.D.] as well as with Crowley’s friend Allan Bennett. All of these groups were in fact interrelated. Aleister Crowley’s own magickal influence would even extend after his death through the second half of the 20th century by the efforts of the ceremonial magician William G. Gray and his Sangreal Sodality magic order (founded in 1980 A.D.): “Developing an early interest in western esotericism from his mother, who was a professional fortune teller, he (William G. Gray) met a number of famous occultists in his youth (circa 1926 – 1935 A.D.), including Victor Neuburg, Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune.** Eventually taking an Austrian named Emile Napoleon Hauenstein to be his magical teacher (“Hauenstein…had formerly been a Martinist and an associate of the French occultist Gérard Encausse [Papus], the founder of the Qabalistic Order of the Rosy Cross…”), he joined the British Army (in 1936 A.D.) and served for several years, fighting in the Second World War (where he would serve in the Royal Corp of Signals [CIGS]). Returning to Britain, he befriended and performed rituals with members of many different occult currents in Britain at the time, including Robert Cochrane…” – Wikipedia: William G. Gray. William G. Gray hailed from a family active in the Theosophical Society and accompanied by a pair of aunts: “He attended lectures given by the Theosophical Society and also met a number of famous occultists who were friends of his mother; these included Arthur Wilson, who would go on to try and found a commune in Canada, and Victor Neuburg (1883–1940), whom Gray would always remember as 463

"one of the gentlest men I ever met." "Once or twice" he also briefly met the infamous ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley…” Gray’s father, John McCammon Trew Gray, of course, was a member of a British theatrical group. Mr. Gray is certainly a testament to the interconnectivity of all of these seemingly disparate magic-practicing groups) (**Occultist Dion Fortune was first initiated into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn at Moina Mathers’ studio on Fitzroy Street in Fitzrovia (See p.128 The Golden dawn Scrapbook; She would receive her initiation into the Golden Dawn’s Inner Order [the Second Order] “in the vault at Thavies Inn” in the Holborn area of central London bordering the City of London area [Ibid p.129] where at that time most of the Golden Dawn’s advanced inner order magic rituals were performed [Ibid p.46]: “The Enochian system [of magic as practiced by ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee], bound up as it was with the concept of human interaction with superhuman beings, was central to the workings of the Inner Order” [Ibid p.68].

Fitzrovia itself is situated between Marylbone, Bloomsbury, Soho, Mayfair, Covent Garden and St. John’s Wood in London, all areas which were as we shall learn largely known as centers of the occult as well as the centers of the Intelligence activities which figure prominently within our story, the two pursuits going hand in hand) (***Surrealism as an art form borrows from the automaticwriting techniques of the Spiritualist mediums [automatic-drawing and automatic-painting, if you will] and is formally known as Surrealist automatism whereby a spirit is said to produce a drawing by working through a Spiritualist medium.

Exemplary of Surrealism’s magical roots is Switzerland-born Surrealist artist Kurt Seligman [author of a book on the history of magic released in 1948 A.D. entitled The Mirror of Magic (aka The History of Magic)] who would be amongst the group of Surrealist and abstract artists [which group included Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, Salvadore Dali, Kandinski, de Kooning, Alexander Calder, Jackson Pollock, Rothko and last but not least Robert De Niro Sr., father of Hollywood actor Robert De Niro whose own close personal friend, Jewish Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan, is a selfprofessed Israeli spy/arms dealer whose spying activities date back to the 1960s. Arnon Milchan was a good friend of filmmaker Roman Polanski as well. For more information see Arnon Milchan’s book Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon. It is pertinent to note Arnon Milchan was a Fabian Society-founded London School of Economics attendee] featured at Peggy Guggenheim’s The Art of This Century gallery in 1940s New York 466

(the Guggenheims are related to the Seligmans by marriage. The Bavaria-born N.Y. banker Joseph Seligman’s bank was one of the underwriters of the securities allowing for the formation of John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company and various railroad companies as well). Kurt Seligman would amass a 300-volume library of occult literature specializing in black magic, no small feat in his day. No doubt writing with his own social magic group first and foremost in mind, Kurt Seligman boasts in his book: “Within our society astrologers, palmists [palm readers; aka Chiromancy], crystal-gazers [Crystallomancy] and [Spiritualist] mediums prosper, as numerous perhaps as in ancient Rome. Mystic and esoteric sects [such as the Theosophical Society and its magic-practicing inner circle, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its offshoots], their publications swelling the book market, are ever on the increase. Magic, as Probst and Bachelard have revealed, still lurks behind scientific thinking… Magic gave a stimulus to experimentation… The investigators of nature followed for centuries the path trodden before them by the ancient philosophers and magi… magical man…can penetrate this mystery, move the world of matter, and conjure the supernatural, angels and elementary spirits.”) The Fabian Society incorporated members of both the Theosophical Society and members of its magic-practicing inner circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn into one political association. One notable group associated with the Fabian Society was The Fellowship of the New Life (for which assembly the Fabian Society was constituted as a political arm) founded in 1883 A.D. by the Scottish-American philosopher Thomas Davidson, to which was associated Edward Carpenter and George Bernard Shaw (Thomas Davidson was best known for his work with The Educational Alliance whose main purpose was to serve as a settlement house for Eastern European Jews emmigrating to New York City). Edward Carpenter (29 August 1844 – 28 June 1929) (founding member of The Fellowship of the New Life) was instrumental in the foundation of the Fabian Society as well as with the associated British Labour Party. Edward Carpenter was a close friend of Humanist poet Walt Whitman [Whitman was a member of the anarchistic (read: Youth Movement) Locofocos group involved in the Flour Riot of 1837] and the Humanist Bengalese Hindu Brahmin Rabindranath Tagore (Tagore [whose family played an integral role in the Indian independence movement], 467

working in collaboration with Stella Matutina-member Evelyn Underhill, published a major translation of the work of the mystic poet Kabir [entitled 100 Poems of Kabir] in 1915 A.D. Evelyn Underhill was a close friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Arthur Machen. Evelyn Underhill, along with British Labour leader (and Theosophical Society member) George Lansbury [himself a close associate of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant], had been members of the anti-war Anglican Pacifist Fellowship [additionally, Aldous Huxley and Bertrand Russell were at the same time members of the British Peace Pledge Union (members of which pledged to renounce participation in any future war) of which organization George Lansbury served as president—both of these complementary groups supported Nazi appeasement prior to the outbreak of World War II. The movement quickly disintegrated following Germany’s invasion of Poland and Czechoslavakia]), and carried out correspondences (an early form of what we know today as ‘networking’) with many famous figures including (Theosophical Society president) Annie Besant, (the San Francisco-born dancer) Isadora Duncan (Duncan was a friend of OTO member Aleister Crowley; it was with Isadora Duncan’s close friend, OTO-member Mary D’Estѐ Sturges, that Crowley performed his Abuldiz Working magic ritual in 1911 A.D. [during which magic ritual Crowley contacted ‘Abuldiz,’ an extraterrestrial intelligence with whom ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee had also been in contact. See p.95 Outside the Circles of Time]. Isadora Duncan and Mary D’Este Sturges had at a crucial historical junction in the history of Nazism shared a villa in the Bavarian town of the Illuminus composer Wagner, and Crowley himself served as a British spy who was known for writing pro-German propaganda prior to WWII. The post-World War I period had experienced an uptick in Theosophical Society membership: “World War I…sparked a surge of interest in various spiritual and idealist societies (including the Theosophical Society), as well as in the possibility of contact with its millions of dead** (who had perished in the war. The Spiritualist Movement was at this time in its heyday). (Rudolph) Steiner’s Anthroposophy, (G.I.) Gurdjieff’s and (P.D.) Ouspensky’s groups, even a fledgling Hitler Youth profited by the search for new values in a shattered Europe. If in the mystic sixties 468

(1960s) and New Age nineties (1990s) gurus proliferated, the 1920s had an equal, if not greater, number (including amongst whom was famous Spiritualist medium Arthur Ford).” – p.83 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman (** This new found interest in Spiritualism was largely fueled by the release of Society for Psychical Research-member Sir Oliver Lodge’s book entitled Raymond, or Life and Death: With Examples of the Evidence for Survival of Memory and Affection After Death in 1916 A.D.: “Towards the end of 1916 great sensation was made not only in occult but in general circles by the publication by Sir Oliver Lodge of a memoir upon his son, the late Lieutenant Raymond Lodge, who was killed [during WWII] near Ypres in September, 1915. The book is divided into three parts… The second part details numerous records of sittings [séances] both in the company of [Spiritualist] mediums and at the table by Sir Oliver Lodge and members of his family…” [See An Encylopaedia of Occultism: Spiritualism]. This book offers a record of the experiences of mediums who performed Spiritualist séances during which it was purported Sir Oliver Lodge had carried on conversations with the spirit of his dearly departed son)

Sanary-sur-Mer in the south of France** would become a favorite haunt for mystics: “With the rise of Nazism in the early 1930s, a great number of German writers and intellectuals (German-Jewish Marxists/Communists in the main) left Germany and settled here (in Sanary-sur-Mer in the south of France): the playwright Bertold Brecht, Egon Erwin Kisch, Thomas Mann (it was Hermann Hesse who aided Berthold Brecht and Thomas Mann in their escape from Nazi Germany), Ludwig Marcuse, Joseph Roth, Franz Werfel and his wife Alma Mahler widow of (Theosophical Society-member) Gustav Mahler (and former wife of architect Walter Gropius as well) at Le Moulin Gris (near the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Pitié) (Franz Werfel and his wife Alma would escape Nazi persecution and remove to the United States through the relocation efforts of Varian Fry and the Emergency Rescue Committee, settling in Los Angeles, CA), Lion Feuchtwanger at Villa Lazare then at Villa Valmer, and Arnold Zweig (from here Zweig emigrated to Haifa in Palestine where he published a newspaper, the Orient). Patronised by (Kenneth Anger’s friend) Jean Cocteau** and his coterie (centered around Montparnasse in Paris, France), Sanary had already drawn Aldous Huxley, who wrote Brave New World at Villa Huxley (there in Sanary-sur-Mer), and his wife, Maria; they attracted other English visitors, such as D.H. Lawrence and his wife, Frieda; (Aldous Huxley’s brother) Julian Huxley and his wife, Juliette; and others. The German expatriates clustered around Thomas Mann and his large family (which hails from a family of rich German merchants. Thomas Mann’s youngest son Michael Mann would 469

study German literature at Harvard University and later work as a professor at the University of California, Berkeley while Thomas Mann’s eldest daughter, Erika Mann [a founder of, what else, a Munich theatrical group (The Peppermill) which she would in 1937 A.D. reopen in New York City where she resided with a group of avant-garde artists-in-exile in Greenwich Village (‘The Peppermill’ would be performed at The New School for Social Research [See p.196 Without Stopping] at which time Henry Cowell was a teacher there). Paul Bowles also resided there with this group at this time], would in 1935 A.D. marry Christopher Isherwood’s friend W.H. Auden [both were homosexuals—this marriage of convenience allowed Erika Mann to leave Germany where her life had been threatened by Nazis who were persecuting any individuals who had been associated with any of the magic groups with which British spy Aleister Crowley was associated. Christopher Isherwood himself was a close associate of both Aleister Crowley and Paul Bowles. The Auden’s would retain an apartment there in Greenwich Village, in the area where Crowley had established an OTO lodge]. Thomas Mann’s writer son Golo Mann would serve during WWII as an Intelligence officer under Allen Dulles in the Office of Strategic Services [OSS] and also after the war as a CIA spy. Thomas Mann’s daughter Elisabeth Mann would become their Chicago connection. Thomas Mann would later relocate to Zurich in Switzerland. These facts you will see will be of extreme importance later), his brother (a radical writer) Heinrich and his wife (the model for Blue Angel) (a 1930 A.D. film based on a story by Heinrich Mann starring Marlene Dietrich and distributed by Universum Film AG, a German government-owned producer of WWI propaganda/public service films), the writers Stefan Zweig (a friend of German psychiatrist Sigmund Freud) and Arnold Zweig, the art critic Julius Meier-Graefe, and the artist René Schickele. Sybille von Schoenebeck (later, as Sybille Bedford, the author of A Legacy) lived here with her mother… With the declaration of war in 1939, the French government treated these (German-Jewish) exiles as enemy aliens and interned some of them in camps like the concentration Camp des Milles near Aix-en-Provence (in the south of France), and eventually some were sent to Auschwitz (the Nazi concentration camp where upwards of 3 million individuals, mostly Jews, would meet their deaths during WWII).” – Wikipedia: Sanary-sur-Mer (** The South of France has long had a mystical magic tradition [Albi, France, home to the 470

Gnostic sect known as the Albigensians (the focal point of the Roman Catholic Church’s 13th Century Albigensian Crusade which sought to stamp out the Albigensian heresy of Gnostic practioners of magic), is itself located in the south of France. It was to Marseilles in Provence in the south of France where according to Gnostic tradition a Jesus-impregnated Mary Magdalene would emigrate following the crucifixion of Christ]. As A.E. Waite writes in The Secret Tradition in Freemasonry circa. 1911 A.D.: “The South of France was a centre from which went forth much of the base occultism of Jewry as well as its theosophical dreams.” Fueling this frenzy was an influx of mystical Eastern European Ashkanazi Jews during the 1890s and beyond, which group of mystics flowed into the Le Marais area [where the famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel once held sway] directly located on the outskirts of Paris, the capital city of France. The south of France was also where was located the city of Montpellier, birthplace of renowned Jewish Kabalist Abraham ben Isaac and home to the Montpellier School of Medicine, in its very essence a school of magic, the haunt of alchemist/astrologer/physician Arnaldus de Villa Nova, located at the University of Montpellier where the celebrated seer Nostradamus and the Renaissance humanist François Rabelais [whose writings had so much inspired former ambassador to France Benjamin Franklin’s Hell Fire Club in England] had received their own formal training in the magical arts and sciences. Montpellier would be the 20th Century home of philosopher Paul Valѐry [he would serve as editor of Commerce magazine during the 1920s in Paris where he was assisted by Andrѐ Gide] whose known associates included philosopher Henri Bergson [brother-in-law to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn grand master S.L. Macgregor Mathers] and physicist Albert Einstein. It was also in the “south of France” near to the city of Nice during the 1930s where the famous witch Sybil Leek had received her initiation into witchcraft [See The Complete Art of Witchcraft p.86] and as she also therein notes, the Basque people of southern France [as well as neighboring northern Spain] have long had had a witchcraft tradition. No small number of Basque witches from Spain had previously died by the hand of the Spanish Inquisition, the refugees from which pogrom had typically sought refuge in France [Pertinent Quote: “In France, as in Spain, the Basque people had privileges which almost made them a republic… They were not oppressed by their clergy, who seldom prosecuted wizards, being wizards themselves. The priests danced, wore swords, and took their mistresses to the Witches' Sabbath. The parson…offered the White Mass to God by day, the Black by night to the Devil, and sometimes…in the same church.” - La Sorciere by J. Michelet, 1862 A.D. While a Basque presence in America dates back to the days of Christopher Columbus and the conquering Spanish Conquistadores [particularly in the areas constituting former Spanish colonies located in the Southwest region of America and in Florida], many such Basque practitioners of magic would later settle in the San Francisco and Los Angeles/San Bernardino county areas in California during the days of the 1848 A.D. California gold rush, and along with them came the malevolent Black Mass to America’s shining shores. The Basque people employ the X superimposed upon the cross (+), the ensign of Azazel (See Appendix A) upon the flag of their people]. France as a whole is steeped in a more modern magic tradition as well. The south of France was home to the Swiss astrologer Conrad Moricand [the son of a Swiss baron] whose home in the nearby Montmartre area of Paris was frequented by an astrological circle [comprising a secret order] of mystics which included French occultist/author/poet/artist/filmaker Jean Cocteau, Anaïs Nin, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars, Francis Carco, and Amedeo Modigliani [Montmartre itself had been the location of the Templar Grand Master Bernard-Raymond Fabré-Palaprat’s l’Ordre du Temple (founded 1804 A.D.) which traced its roots in an unbroken string back to Jacques de Molay’s original Knights Templar group (Fabré-Palaprat also would found the Gnostic Johannite Church in 1812 A.D., a reincarnation of the Albigensian heresy). This was a relatively recent rehash of the Knights Templar group (originally founded in 1119 A.D. by a troop of French knights) which had built its fortified church in the Le Marais section of Paris in 1240 A.D.]. Moving forward, this group would eventually be subsumed into the amalgamation of occult groups headed by the illustrious ceremonial magician Papus, himself a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden 471

Dawn’s Ahathoor Temple [first established by S.L. Macgregor Mathers in the 1890s A.D. in Paris], Papus also being a leading member of the Theosophical Society in France [the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is the magic-practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society] and a consecrated bishop in Jules Doinel’s Gnostic Church [founded in Paris in 1890 A.D.] as well [Doinel’s spiritual heir to the Gnostic Church was Jean Bricaud, one-time head of the Martinist order. Bricaud was an associate of the French Freemasonic Rite of MemphisMisraim Grand Master, Constant Chevillon, head of the Fédération Universelle des Ordres, Fraternités et Sociétés Initiatiques Rosicrucian umbrella group]. In 1908 A.D., Papus would obtain an OTO charter [the OTO magic order is an outgrowth of the Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]. For more information on l’Ordre du Temple, the Johannite Church and its teachings, see pp.53-56 Secret Societies and Subversive Movements by Nesta Webster. Other notable practitioners of magic active at this time in Paris were Martinist Joséphin Péladan, Symbolist founder of the Mystic Order of the Rose + Croix, J.K. Huysmans, author of the notoriously Satanic novel La Bas [which in English translates as The Damned; La Bas is a thinly disguised work of fact masquerading as fiction concerning Huysmans’ and his friends’ own black magic practices and his own researches into the life of 15th century black magic ritual child-murderer Gille de Rais], the bohemian anarchist Laurent Tailhade [a friend of French poet Charles Baudelaire (a poet made famous by his quote: “The cleverest trick of the devil is to persuade us he doesn’t exist.”), a participant in the Carbonari’s Revolutions of 1848 whose own friends included the French Illuminus Freemason Honore de Balzac and French statesman Victor Hugo’s own poet friend, Theophile Gautier (Victor Hugo himself resided in Le Marais, as did Robespierre, one of the best known and most influential figures from the French Revolution, a testament to Le Marais’ Illuminati associations. Paris was the location of the Illuminati’s Les Neuf Sœurs Freemasonic lodge of which Benjamin Franklin was a member and which had played such an important role in both the Illuminatiled American and French Revolutions***). French ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi’s second wife, French sculptress Marie-Noémi Cadiot, was herself a student of Swiss-born French sculptor James Pradier, a friend of Romantic Era poets Victor Hugo and Théophile Gautier. Cadiot herself would later associate with a group of individuals which had included Polish philosopher/physicist Józef Maria Hoene-Wroński who had taken part in the Polish Kościuszko Uprising (1794 A.D.) led by American Revolutionary War veteran Tadeusz Kościuszko (Kościuszko was one of a number of foreign officers who had served during the Revolutionary War in America serving as a colonel in the Continental Army initially under command of Benjamin Franklin and was a personal friend of Thomas Jefferson). Kościuszko had returned to France after the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783 A.D. which formally brought to a close the Revolutionary War in America], mystic poet/magic adept Stanislas de Guaita [founder (1888 A.D.) of the Cabalistic Order of the Rosicrucian] and Henri Antoine Jules-Bois, author of the book Satanism and Magic [1895 A.D.], a friend of the Indian Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda [chief disciple of the Hindu saint Ramakrishna; one notable disciple of Swami Vivekananda was Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison’s employee Nicholas Tesla (Manhattan-resident Nicholas Tesla’s financial backer for his Wardenclyffe Tower enterprise located on Long Island in New York City it is of interest to note was financier J.P. Morgan)] and S.L. Macgregor Mathers, leader of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s Ahathoor Temple located there in Paris (Paris being, as noted by Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich in The Secret World Government, a nest of Freemasonry and a center of Illuminati/Freemasonic intrigues). Paris, as we learn from ceremonial magician A.E. Waite in his book Devil-Worship in France [published 1896 A.D.] was fast becoming the “new centre” of a “Hermetic, Kabbalistic, and theurgic” revival composed of “Martinists, Gnostics, Kabbalists, and a score of orders or fraternities” whose aim, in Waite’s own words, was to forge “a partnership with the lost angels of orthodox theology,” they attempting to “communicate with devils” and this through traditional Black Magic practices. As the black magic adept Jules-Bois himself explains in his book Satanism and Magic [1895 A.D.], these associated groups of practitioners of magic of which Jules-Bois was himself a part were in fact 472

“devoted in secret to the operations of Black Magic, communicate or seek to communicate with Spirits of Darkness, for the attainment of ambition, the accomplishment of revenge, the satisfaction of their passions, or some other form of ill-doing.” S.L. Macgregor Mathers would also gravitate to this burgeoning mystical occult center founding the Ahathoor Temple of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn there in Paris where he would subsequently wed the daughter of French philosopher Henri Bergson, a good friend of Harvard University professor, Theosophical Society/Society for Psychical Research-member William James. OTO-head Aleister Crowley would himself join Mathers there in Paris in 1901 A.D. It would appear Henry Miller’s friend Conrad Moricand was centrally involved with this amalgamated group of magical adepts as well). Years later, after the Great Depression of 1929 A.D. had forced financial ruin upon the aristocratic magic adept Conrad Moricand, Henry Miller [Theosophical Society-member Henry Miller had first met Conrad Moricand in 1936 A.D.**] and Anais Nin [a friend of Church of Satan/OTO-member Kenneth Anger] would financially aid Moricand in part by inducing friends to have Moricand prepare their personal horoscopes. Henry Miller, who resided in the Villa Seurat artist community in Paris [Henry Miller, perhaps best known for his controversial novels, was additionally an artist as well], would meet weekly with Moricand at his flophouse room at the Parisian Hotel Modial situated in the rue Notre Dame de Lorette up until the very eve of the Nazi invasion of France in 1940 A.D. On the nature of these visits, Henry Miller’s friend Alfred Perles quotes Conrad Moricand himself in his book My Friend Henry Miller: “Henry Miller…a man of great culture, had recently begun to take an interest in occultism, astrology and magic—all subjects within my [Conrad Moricand’s] jurisdiction, as it were. It was for this triple reason that I [Moricand] associated with him and we soon became great friends. Once every week Miller came to visit me in Montmartre, where I lived and there I taught him the rudiments of the craft…” Years later [in 1947 until 1949 A.D. in the post-WWII era], at the behest of Henry Miller, Conrad Moricand would join Henry Miller and his associated group of Black Magic-practicing misfits congregated in the Bohemian magic-practicing artist’s community newly situated in the hills around Big Sur in California [concerning which group writer Mildred Edie Brady would pen a magazine article entitled The New Cult of Sex and Anarchy, therewith spurring an endless stream of mystical visitors to Henry Miller’s maleficent magical Mecca, a group which at one time also included Alfred Perles (a later psychiatrist-in-residence at the CIA-associated Esalen Institute) who had many times prior accompanied Henry Miller on his Parisian visits to Conrad Moricand]. We find Henry Miller’s own description of Conrad Moricand [1887–1954 A.D.] in his book Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymous Bosch: “Moricand was not only an astrologer and a scholar steeped in the hermetic philosophies, but an occultist…a flaming wretch who had delivered himself to the mercy of the Devil.” And as many have found to their detriment, the Devil can be quite merciless. Henry Miller would become such a great magical adept that his own Surrealist novels eventually take on an automatic-writing quality. In his book Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymous Bosch pp.126-129 Henry Miller speaks of the automatic-writing process as he himself experienced it, of how a number of his novels had been dictated to him by the Otherworldly “Voice” of a “mysterious dictater” whom Henry Miller identifies as his own magical “Muse”: “Never had I been more possessed…I got messages… Whole sentences poured in on me. Then paragraphs. Then pages… It’s a phenomenon which always astounds me, no matter how often it happens. Try to bring it [automatism] about and you fail miserably. Try to squelch it and you become more victimized… And how it would come! I didn’t have to think up so much as a comma or semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room… I could almost see the Voice, so close, so impelling, so authoritative it was… the inundation was almost continuous… Wearily I would beg for a break, an intermission… Nothing doing! …my pleas were ignored. Sentence by sentence I wrote it down… the ‘dictation’…was like a fire which refused to be extinguished.” Automatism itself is certainly indicative of an Overshadowed state. Additionally, it must be noted, Israel Regardie served as Aleister Crowley’s secretary in Paris from 1928-1931 A.D. and Russian ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff resided in Paris 473

from 1935 A.D. onward as well where he would be joined by his disciple Jeanne de Salzmann. Other famous French occult personalities include Abbé N. de Montfaucon de Villars [also a native of southern France], author of the sacred Rosicrucian text entitled The Comte de Gabalis published in 1670 A.D., and Peter Waldo, founder of the Waldensian religious movement [which religious system rested largely upon Manichaeism, one of the major Gnostic sects] many of whose adherents were also subjected to religious persecution [often under the charge of witchcraft and other such anti-Catholic heresies and subversions] during the 16th Century French Wars of Religion sparked by the Massacre of Vassy in 1562 A.D. and ending with the ‘Edict of Nantes’ issued in 1598 A.D. which provided certain religious rights in France for French non-Catholic Calvinist Protestants [specifically Protestant followers of French religious reformer John Calvin, a Protestant group commonly known as Huguenots/French Huguenots, a people well known for their Cabalistic magic practices]. Few people are aware of the widespread Cabalistic magic practices [influenced by the magic of Paracelsus, including alchemy] which were prevalent amongst early Protestants of the period including the Camisards [Huguenots hailing from Cevannes in France] and the Alumbrados Illuminés, a French faction of the Order of Illuminati. French Huguenot immigrants in America fleeing religious persecution in Europe would settle predominantly in the colony of New York in New Amsterdam [a colony located on Manhattan Island in what is today New York City] and amongst the Pennsylvania Dutch population of Pennsylvania—the black smithing ‘patriot’ Paul Revere [black smithing being a purely magical art] was a descendent of French Huguenot parents. For more information see Fortress of the Soul: Violence, Metaphysics, and Material Life in the Huguenot’s New World, 1517-1751 by Neil Kamil) (**Notable Quote by Those in the Know concerning Black Magic Practices in pre-war France and Britain circa 1936 A.D.: “…do not think, because it is an old belief, that the world has outgrown Black Magic. There is no shadow of doubt that it is still practised today…in the heart of fashionable London, and by rich society leaders and powerful business men… The worship of the Goat of Mendes [the Baphomet of the Knights Templar], Baal, Pan, Kali and others of the Devil’s accredited henchmen is still carried on [circa 1936 A.D.], behind closed doors and to the accompaniment of unspeakable orgies and atrocities, by persons who, in the light of day, are apparently benevolent and respectable… a French police officer, now retired, who was introduced to me by a distinguished French conjurer…solemnly assured me that, in France, England and elsewhere, tiny children are kidnapped every year, to be offered as human sacrifices, with foul and unspeakable rites, to the Devil, to ensure his alliance towards the people who still worship him in secret... Certainly, any old book on the subject [of “devilworship”] will confirm that child-murder is a vital tenet of the filthy creed.” – pp.153,154,212 White Magic [Pertinent Quote: “Thou shalt murder, commit adultery, steal, bear false witness.” – The Book of Lucifer Chapter 13: Commands of Lucifer]. And indeed: “Eliphas Levi said that when the grimoires talk of killing a kid [generally interpreted as the ritual sacrifice of a young goat] they really mean a human child.” – p.248 The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish. A 17th Century book entitled Demoniality [reissued by French book publisher/ex-priest Isidore Liseux in Paris circa. 1879 A.D. undoubtedly influencing the pagan reconstructionist Satanists gathered therein] chronicles 17th century witchcraft practices including the following detailed account: “…they promise the Devil sacrifices and offerings at stated times: once a fortnight [every ‘fourteen nights’] or at least each month, the murder of some child, or an homicidal act of sorcery, and other weekly misdeeds…” And as noted by Hans Holzer in his book Witchcraft p.545: “Black Masses were performed whenever special needs had arisen. Catherine de Medici [who had surrounded herself with astrologers and ceremonial magicians (See p.202 La Sorciere)] ordered one celebrated when she tried to save the life of her husband, the King [Henry II] of France. He died despite the ritual killing of a child.” The Black Mass itself, born of rebellion, was sired in France—French Huguenot occultist Jules Michelet in p.146 La Sorciere [1862 A.D.] traces the very genesis of the Black Mass to the Peasant’s War in France in 1364 A.D.) (*** “It has frequently been asserted that on the death of [Knights Templar Grandmaster] Jacques de Molay [himself a victim of the 474

Inquisition] a conspiracy was entered into by the surviving Templars which had for its objects the destruction of papacy and the several kingdoms of Europe, and that this tradition was handed on through generations of initiates through such societies as the Illuminati and the Freemasons, who in the end brought about the French Revolution and the downfall of the French throne.” – An Encyclopaedia of Occultism: Templars. The conspiracy continues to this day) (“Amongst the many distinguished adherents of Spiritualism in the department of French literature, none have more bravely asserted and defended their belief than [Theosophical Society-member] Camille Flammarion, the celebrated astronomer; [French stateman/author/poet] Victor Hugo, Alexander Dumas [Dumas was a famous French revolutionary who also took part in the Italian unification movement marking him as a member of the Carbonari] and Victorien Sardou, the renowned writer of French comedy… Sardou was himself a [Spiritualist] medium of singularly happy endowments. He executed a number of curious drawings, purporting to represent scenes in the spirit world…” – p.172 An Encyclopaedia of Occultism: Spiritualism)

Though many mystically minded Jewish intellectuals and artists would be stranded in France during WWII and later perish in Nazi concentration camps, mystical individuals of monied means with Freemasonic friends in high international places [including Thomas Mann] would emmigrate to the United States thanks in part to the concerted efforts of the International Relief Association and the American Friends of German Freedom and its Emergency Rescue Committee acting through its ‘spirited agent,’ Harvard University grad/journalist Varian Fry who worked in conjunction with Harvard grad/American diplomat Hiram Bingham IV, son of Yale/Harvard grad Hiram Bingham III, a senator from cConnecticut who previously served in the Aviation Section of the U.S. Army Signal Corp during WWI (another individual important to our story who relocated to the United States at this time due to the Nazi threat was Jewish record producer Simon Waronker [the founder of Liberty Records], father of record producer Lenny Waronker, former president of Warner Bros. Records©). Notable individuals who involved themselves in these relocation efforts included physicist Albert Einstein (a Ford Foundation grant recipient) and The New School of Social Research founder Charles A. Beard (as we learn from The New School for Social Research website: “The original faculty of The New School for Social Research, as the founders named it, included Charles Beard [a history professor], Thorstein Veblen [a former editor for The Dial], James Harvey Robinson [a history professor], Wesley Clair Mitchell [a history professor], and John Dewey [the OSS is known to have counted many such history professors amongst its ranks, a case in point being Saul K. Padover who would go on to serve as a New School for Social Research instructor. The New School itself has 475

extensive OSS/CIA associations]. Other brilliant and innovative scholars of the period, including Franz Boas [the German-Jewish ‘Father of American Anthropology’], Harold Laski [Harold Laski was an executive member of the Fabian Society (whose membership ranks consisted of members of the Theosophical Society and its magicpracticing inner-circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) and a London School of Economics professor from 1926-1950 A.D. who would serve as the chairman of the British Labour Party from 1945– 1946 A.D. Harold Laski even worked for a time for Labour Party leader/Theosophical Society-member George Lansbury, a close associate of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant). Harold Laski was the brother of Neville Laski whose Jewish father-in-law Moses Gaster was a resident of London who first translated the Jewish Kabalistic grimoire The Sword of Moses into English in 1896 A.D. Moses Gaster, who served as vice-president of the First Zionist Congress (the first draft of the Balfour Declaration was written in his London home), was a close associate of Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud (whose associate, Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung, was an OSS spy). Amongst Harold Laski’s notable students at the London School of Economics (under whom he had studied for an entire year) was Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (eldest son and namesake of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. the elder brother of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy). Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., who was himself being groomed as a future presidential candidate, was a U.S. Navy pilot who would die in a plane crash during Operation Aphrodite [a top-secret operation involving radio-controlled explosive-ladened aircraft] while working in coordination with the U.S. Army Air Force (under command of General ‘Hap’ Arnold) and RAF forces during WWII [For more information, see Aphrodite: Desperate Mission, Olson, 1970 A.D.]). Amongst Harold Laski’s ‘friends’ (or rather, fellow Intelligence operatives) was British Foreign Office agent/proGermany British ambassador E.H. Carr (Carr would serve as assistant editor of The Times, one of the British Establishment’s propaganda arms, from 1941-1946 A.D. Amongst Carr’s friends was A.J.P. Taylor, a ‘friend’ of the British WWI Ministry of Information head, Lord Beaverbrook. The British Foreign Office Intelligence organization [the British Foreign Office was the forerunner to MI6] often collaborated with The Times, the sister newspaper of Lord Beaverbrook’s London Sunday Times [as many spies of the time used journalism as a cover to gather information]. Another of E.H. Carr’s 476

close friends was Jewish sociologist Karl Mannheim who once had worked under Zionist German-Jewish sociologist, Norbert Elias, a prominent professor at the New School for Social Research). Note this direct link between the New School for Social Reasearch and the Fabian Society and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as well as the Golden Dawn link to the Kennedy family as well], Bertrand Russell, and Lewis Mumford [associate editor of The Dial under Thorstein Veblen] were associated with The New School for Social Research. From the beginning, The New School maintained close ties to Europe [the school no doubt serving as an American/British Intelligence front]. Its founders had, in part, modeled the school after the Volkshochschulen for adults established in Germany. Then during the 1920s, Alvin Johnson, The New School’s director, became coeditor of the Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences. While working on this massive undertaking, Johnson collaborated regularly with colleagues in Germany and elsewhere in Europe [this endeavor likely serving as cover for their spying operations]. It was they who made him aware of [read: provided him with the Intelligence concerning] the danger the Nazi movement presented to democracy and the civilized world before many in the United States had grasped the seriousness of the situation. In 1933, when Hitler came to power and began to purge Jews and politically hostile elements from German universities, Johnson responded. With the financial support of philanthropist Hiram Halle [part owner along with the Mellon family of the Gulf Oil corporation which would later merge with the Rockefeller-owned Standard Oil of California to create Chevron in 1985 A.D.] and the Rockefeller Foundation (which foundation post-WWII has historically served as a conduit for CIA black project funds), he obtained funding to provide a haven in the United States for scholars whose careers (and lives) were threatened by the Nazis.”). Working in conjunction with the Emergency Rescue Committee was the European Film Fund which worked to provide jobs for these foreign war refugees, an essential precondition for obtaining a valued American visa. Many such magically inclined Jewish refugees were thereby employed by MGM and Warner Bros.© film studios as script/screen-writers. Amongst the primary beneficiaries of this endeavor were Heinrich Mann and Berthold Brecht (another option for attaining a visa was marrying an American citizen. Such was the case in Britain as well. As noted by poet Harold Norse in Memoirs of a Bastard Angel: “[W.H.] Auden [who was openly homosexual] had chivalrously married Thomas 477

Mann’s daughter [Erika Mann], who was a lesbian, so that she could attain a British passport and leave Nazi Germany, where her life was in danger because her mother was Jewish.”). One of the more illustrious supporters of the European Film Fund was Michael Curtiz (whose adopted son was Warner Bros.© script clerk/Star Trek show writer John Meredyth Lucas, son of Keystone Studios actor/director Wilfred Lucas, a friend of Mary Pickford), an Academy Awardwinning Hollywood film director who worked for Warner Bros.© during the 1930s and 1940s on various movie projects including a number of WWII propaganda films commissioned by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Curtiz being a close friend and polo partner of Warner Bros.© film producer/WWII propaganda/armed forces training film producer Hal B. Wallis. The Unitarian Church was also at the forefront of these relocation efforts, spearheaded by the influential Unitarian minister Robert Dexter (founder of the Unitarian Service Committee for the assistance of Jewish refugees) who would later serve during WWII as a spy in the OSS (along with Thomas Mann’s son Golo Mann). The mystical center (spy network) previously located in France was subsequently moved to California: “Before landing in California, (Aldous) Huxley had acquainted himself with developments on the esoteric scene at home. Along with (W.H. Auden’s friend) T.S. Eliot, A.R. Orage (A.R. Orage was one of P.D. Ouspensky’s students and was as well an attendee of ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff’s Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in France; Richard Spence identifies A.R. Orage as being an associate of ceremonial magician/British spy Aleister Crowley [See Secret Agent 666 p.227], and Crowley is famously known to have been a visitor to Gurdjieff’s Institute in France) and other inhabitants of the London intellectual circuit, Huxley attended P.D. Ouspensky’s celebrated lectures at St. John’s Wood (a district of north-west London), financed by the fabulous Lady Rothemere, wife of the newspaper baron (Esmond Harmsworth, 2nd Viscount Rothemere [his second wife would later marry the British spy Ian Fleming (Fleming was Aleister Crowley’s case officer)], whose brother, Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe [related by marriage to the Rothschild family] was a high-ranking member of British Intelligence).” – p.88 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman. Theosophical 478

Society-member P.D. Ouspensky himself was one of G.I. Gurdjieff’s disciples, and T.S. Eliot’s friend Ezra Pound (who was himself a friend of W.B. Yeats—Yeats had personally known the British spy Aleister Crowley, the two being co-members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) wrote a weekly column for A.R. Orage’s journal, The New Age. The New Age** was the Fabian Society’s very own propaganda arm (the Fabian Society was itself predominantly made up of members of the Theosophical Society and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Aldous Huxley himself was also known to have dined with Aleister Crowley—all of these individuals were in fact interconnected in some way or another. (** Another journalist [and again, journalism has long been used as a cover for Intelligence gathering operations] at A.R. Orage’s journal The New Age was Cecil Chesterton whose brother G.K. Chesterton [an alleged member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn who himself can be linked to British spy Aleister Crowley] was known for his literary collaborations with Hilaire Belloc [Belloc would serve as President of the Oxford Union, as a British Member of Parliament and was most importantly enough a close friend of the legendary British spymaster John Buchan]. Cecil Chesterton himself had ties to Fabian Society-member George Bernard Shaw [a man with considerable British Intelligence associations]. Yet another journalist for A.R. Orage’s New Age magazine was William Norman Ewer, now largely known to have been a Russian spy. The Russian ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff himself is alleged to have been a Russian spy as well) (St. John’s Wood in London was the location of German Forty-Eighter Baroness Méry von Bruiningk’s (Bruning’s) salon of German Carbonari European revolutionary refugees including Hecker and Struve who fled the failed Carbonari Revolutions of 1848 and amongst whose ranks was Carbonari-leader Giusseppe Mazzini. Among these German Carbonari revolutionaries was Reinhold Solger [Reinhold Solger would enter into exile in America, become a U.S. citizen in 1859 A.D., join the Republican Party and serve as a campaigner for Republican Party presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln, eventually serving in the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C.], an associate of Thomas Carlyle [Carlyle was a close associate of Giusseppe Mazzini] and the British Ambassador to the United States, Henry Bulwer, 1st Baron Dalling and Bulwer, brother of occultist Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Many of these German Carbonari revolutionaries would relocate to the United States in 1852 A.D. These would include Carl Schurz [a 479

Republican U.S. senator/U.S. Army Civil War General who would serve as President Abraham Lincoln’s Ambassador to Spain and as U.S. Secretary of the Interior under President Rutherford B. Hayes (for more information see The Reminiscences of Carl Schurz)], Young Germany-founders Frederich Hecker and Gustav von Struve [Hecker would serve as a brigade commander in the Union Army during the Civil War, Struve as a captain], and Solomon Loeb [Solomon Loeb’s son James Loeb was a friend of Charles Eliot Norton (the cousin of Harvard University president Charles William Eliot), a friend of Thomas Carlyle] and Abraham Kuhn [Kuhn and Loeb being the founders of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.]. Abraham Lincoln would appoint many Carbonari Young Germany Youth Movement revolutionaries [who had served in the Carbonari revolutionary army under Hecker and Struve] as generals in the Union Army who would command U.S. forces during the American Civil War including the aforementioned Carl Schurz [Schurz’s wife, Margarethe Schurz, was a friend of Transcendentalist Elizabeth Peabody who served as business manager for Margaret Fuller’s magazine, The Dial], former Bavarian army commander Louis Blenker [the Carbonari was in fact a creation of the Bavarian Illuminati], Alexander Schimmelfennig [who organized the all-German 74th Pennsylvania Infantry composed of German immigrants from Philadephia and Pittsburg], Franz Sigel, Max Weber, August Willich, Frederick C. Salomon [brother of Wisconsin governor Edward Salomon and the Wisconsin Colonel Charles Eberhard Salomon; many German Forty-Eighters had settled in Milwaukee, WI. He likely relates to American Revolutionary War spy Haym Salomon], Wilhelm Heine and Adolph von Steinwehr. Other Carbonari Youth Movement members would likewise serve as Civil War generals including Young Irelander’s leader Thomas Francis Meagher [leader of the Young Irelanders Rebellion of 1848; three of his sons served in the army of the Confederate States of America. Carbonari Young Hungary-members who served as Union Civil War generals include Alexander Asboth, Julius Stahel and Albin Francisco Schoepf, [Young Hungary-member Charles Zagonyi served as an aide to Union general John C. Fremont (Fremont was the first U.S. presidential candidate of the newly formed Young Germany/Carbonari-associated Republican Party) who himself ties to Illuminati revolutionaries from the French Revolution]. Of an interesting note, the Union Army’s 69th Infantry Regiment from New York was itself mainly drawn from the ranks of the Irish Republican Brotherhood under the command of former 480

Young Irelander Youth Movement leader/Union Army Colonel John O’Mahoney. The fact that so many of the President Abraham Lincolnappointed Union Civil War era generals and commanders within our story were Spiritualist members of the Carbonari secret society certainly sheds light upon Republican President Abraham Lincoln’s own wartime Spiritualist proclivities [Abraham Lincoln’s son, Harvard grad Robert Todd Lincoln, would serve on the staff of Union General (and later Republican President) Ulysses S. Grant and as Secretary of War under two consecutive presidents, later acting as U.S. Minister to the United Kingdom. Harvard University itself had/has extensive Carbonari connections. It was a President Lincoln appointee to the Navy Department, Harvard-grad William E. Chandler who working in conjunction with a fellow Harvard-grad, Lincoln’s son Robert Todd Lincoln would set into motion the legislation allowing for the expansion of the United States Navy which would ultimately result in the creation of the Bethlehem Steel company (previously known as the Bethlehem Iron Company, an enterprise which during its early years produced railroad rails, an essential element for the movement of troops during the Civil War, as well as iron plating to the Federal Navy used in construction of ironclad warships including the famous USS Monitor), the primary beneficiary of these ‘New Navy’ ship building efforts (as ships began transitioning from an obsolete wooden construction to steel hulled behemoths) being the Boston Navy Yard at the port city of Boston located in Harvard’s home state of Massachussetts. Bethlehem Steel itself would become America’s largest shipbuilder. These events in themselves coincide with a large influx of trade unionist Bohemian Brethren metal working immigrants hailing from the Germanic homeland of the Bavarian Illuminati which would largely flow into the city of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania during the latter part of the 1880s (the Bohemian Brethren, aka the Unity of the Brethren [which had ties to the Waldensians], was originally founded in 1457 A.D. by followers of Jan ‘the Heretic’ Hus, a movement eventually giving birth to the Bohemian Revolt culminating in the Battle of White Mountain near Prague, one of the opening battles of the epic Thirty Years’ War [which ended with Bohemia and Moravia being ceded to Rome in the ‘Peace of Westphalia’ accords], one of the many historic Counter-Reformation wars waged between European Catholics and reformation Protestant groups in areas ruled by the proCatholic Hapsburg dynasty in lands constituting the Holy Roman Empire). Bethlehem, PA is home to the Bohemian Brethren (aka the 481

Moravian Brethren)’s Moravian College (founded by the Bethlehem Congregation of the Moravian Church [whose seal includes the red cross on white background motif, the sign of Azazel (See Appendix A)] in 1742 A.D. by followers of John Amos Comenius, an associate of Samuel Hartlib [Hartlib was the founder of the Invisible College which would later become the Royal Society**]—Comenius, in a tract entitled The Way of Light [authored during Comenius’ stay in London with Samuel Hartlib], employs the term “illuminati” in reference to Hartlib’s group of magically-inclined scientists) whose Steel Field sports complex was built by Bethlehem Steel to host their Bethlehem Steel Soccer Club which team would eventually be taken professional by Bethlehem Steel owner Charles M. Schwab. Bethlehem Steel worked in partnership with Royal Society Fellow Joseph Whitworth’s British-based armaments manufacturing company, a maker of largecalibur guns]. Another Young Germany Youth Movement member who had sojourned in London before emmigrating to America, namely, Rudolph Lexow, was the father of New York State Republican Senator [1894-1898 A.D.] Clarance Lexow. It is also important to note, some 30,000 Young Germany Youth Movement members would settle during the 1850s in Cincinatti, OH, home to Quaker Abolitionist Levi Coffin [Levi Coffin was a friend of Harriet Beacher Stowe, well known author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a novel which would have a seminal influence on anti-slavery sentiments in America, though lesser known for her essay entitled Modern Spiritualism a reprint of which appears in the book The History of Salem Witchcraft: A Review (1886 A.D.). Her brother Henry Ward Beecher was a friend of phrenologist Orson Squire Fowler, a ‘good friend’ of Walt Whitman who in turn was a good friend of Fabian Society-founder Edward Carpenter] who is generally known as the ‘President of the Underground Railroad’ [which organization served as a conduit for runaway slaves escaping to freedom in Canada] as the Carbonari secret society and the Abolitionist movement itself [along with the Carbonari-inspired Spiritualist Movement and the women’s liberation movement as well] were as the reader shall discover, quite intimately interconnected. Note that the Republican Party is the political party of the Carbonari’s Young Germany Youth Movement group in America. Other prominent Young Germany Youth Movement members who have campaigned for Abraham Lincoln and/or served in Lincoln’s Republican presidential administration are Friedrich Hassaurek [Lincoln would appoint him U.S. Minister to 482

Ecuador] and George Schneider [he would serve as consul general to Denmark]. Other Young Germany Youth Movement members who also played prominent roles within the Republican Party are Young Germany Youth Movement-founder Friedrich Hecker, Lorenzo Brentano [U.S. Representative for Illinois, President Lincoln’s own home state], and Joseph Weydemeyer who served as an aide to 1856 A.D. Republican Party presidential candidate John C. Fremont, a U.S. Senator and former Military Governor of California [John C. Fremont was the newly minted Republican Party’s very first presidential candidate]. Abraham Lincoln himself is descended from an early resident of the Massachusetts Bay Colony [itself a bastion of the Boston Brahmin group and home to Harvard University], the Puritan settler Samuel Lincoln, progenitor of many prominent United States politicians [on his mother’s side, Samuel Lincoln is related to Nicholas Gilman, a delegate of the Continental Congress who served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War; Nicholas Gilman was one of the signers of the U.S. Constitution. Another notable Union Civil War general serving under President Lincoln was William B. Franklin, grandson of Benjamin Franklin’s friend Samuel Rhoads. A member of Benjamin Franklin’s Pennsylvania Assembly governing body, Rhoads later served as a delegate to the First Continental Congress and designed Benjamin Franklin’s Pennsylvania Hospital, also serving as Vice-President of Benjamin Franklin’s American Philosophical Society. Rhoads would also serve as Mayor of Philadelphia from 1774-1775 A.D. General William B. Franklin was a friend and classmate of Union Civil War general and later U.S. president Ulysses S. Grant]. It is also pertinent to note that Supreme Court Justice David Davis, who once served as President Lincoln’s campaign manager [another prominent member of the Davis political family who served under President Lincoln during the American Civil War was Navy Rear Admiral Charles Henry Davis whose own seafaring son, Commander Charles H. Davis, Jr. served as Chief Intelligence Officer of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) from 1889 – 1892 A.D.], is related to former CIA head turned U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush and his son, President George Walker Bush through Davis’ cousin, David Davis Walker*** and his son, George Herbert Walker (his daughter Dorothy Pierce married Prescott Bush), the grandfather and namesake of President George Herbert Walker Bush (***The Oliphants were related by marriage to the Walkers, notably enough, including amongst whom was celebrated novelist Margaret Oliphant [a cousin 483

of Laurence Oliphant], second cousin of Anna Louisa Walker Coghill [the two even resided together; Anna was the sister of railroad man Thomas A. Walker] who in turn were related to the Davis and Bush political families as well, all families which included individuals who were at the forefront of the Spiritualist Movement in America and Britain [families including high-ranking members of British and American Intelligence agencies [of an important note, the Bancroft political/spy family is also related to the Davis family by marriage]. The British branch of the Herbert family [to which the Bush political/spy family is directly related] including the Cambridge University-associated Christian mystic poet George Herbert are kinsmen of the Rosicrucian alchemist Thomas Vaughan (See the Biographical Preface in The Works of Thomas Vaughan by A.E. Waite). Of a related note, Prescott Bush, a one-time senator from Connecticut [1952-1963 A.D.], was a resident of Greenwich, CT which town was originally founded by friends and colleagues of Thomas Vaughan. Of another interesting and quite pertinent note, Prescott Bush’s grandmother (neѐ Fay) was a descendent of colonists from the Massachusetts Bay Colony (Thomas Vaughan and colonists from the Massachusetts Bay Colony all link back to the Hartlib Circle/Invisible College/Royal Society and to the ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee). For more information see The Satanic States of America by John of the Gentiles]. The Oliphants, Walkers and Bush’s notably enough were all actively involved in the railroad industry [along with the Bush-associated Harriman family; Prescott Bush’s father, Samuel Prescott Bush, served as General Manager and later president of Buckeye Steel Castings Company, a manufacturer of railway parts run by Frank Rockefeller, the brother of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller (members of the CIA-associated Dulles family were employed by Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company as well), amongst whose clients were railroads controlled by E.H. Harriman] and President Abraham Lincoln, himself a former railroad lawyer whose presidential administration included a number of wealthy railroad officials—Lincoln would pass various bills delving out free lucrative land grants to the railroads during the heyday of American railway construction efforts). Some members of the Lincoln family would later migrate to Berks County, Pennsylvania [commonly known as ‘Pennsylvania Dutch Country,’ Berks County was home to a large population of magicpracticing Pennsylvania Dutch/Pennsylvania Germans], there intermarrying with resident Quakers. Both Puritans and Quakers were fiercely anti-slavery and like President Lincoln himself, Spiritualists as well) (**One of British ceremonial magician/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s own magical mentors was a man named Oscar Eckenstein, a member of the British Royal Society whose father had been a member of the Carbonari’s Young Germany Youth Movement who had fled to England following the failed Revolutions of 1848 in Germany. Note this Carbonari association with the Royal Society and this Royal Society association with the OTO and the Royal Society association with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the magic-practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society, as it was a Carbonari-member named H.P. Blavatsky, initiated into the Society of the Carbonari by Youth Movement-founder Giusseppe Mazzini, who had cofounded the Theosophical Society along with the Spiritualist Emma Hardinge Britten [who had quite actively campaigned for President Abraham Lincoln’s re-election in 1864 A.D.] and H.S. Olcott in 1875 A.D. With this fact in mind it is interesting to note that Theosophical Societymember Mark Twain’s brother Orion Clemens [Mark Twain was the pen name of author Samuel Clemens] had studied law under Edward Bates who served as Attorney General under President Abraham Lincoln from 1861-1864 A.D. Following Republican presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln’s election to the Presidency in 1860 A.D., Orion Clemens would be appointed Secretary to the new government of the Territory of Nevada. Theosophical Society-member Mark Twain [Twain himself was an ‘intimate friend’ of Theosophical Society co-founder H.S. Olcott] was a member of the Bohemian Club [founded 1872 A.D.] as well, the Bohemian Club being the owners and operators of the Bohemian Grove. Every Republican President [of the Carbonari’s Young Germany-founded Republican Party] since Herbert Hoover in 1933 A.D. has been an attendee of the Bohemian Grove) 484

Indian guru/Theosophical Society-member J. Krishnamurti saw his popularity surge, particulary in Depression Era America: “…in the 1930s quite a few celestial bodies of the Hollywood type (including the Hollywood stars Charlie Chaplin, Mae West, Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo**) found themselves orbiting stargazers (read: astrologers) and mystics (included amongst whose magical ranks they had orbited was philosopher Aldous Huxley, the eminent Humanist Thomas Mann and the militant Bavarian Marxist Bertolt Brecht [all three of whom were employed as Hollywood script writers]), and serious seekers of spiritual insight drank from the same well as bored celebrities, looking for a new thrill. One such focus was the holy man, ex-theosophist (he officially renounced his exalted role in Theosophy in 1929 A.D.), sixties (1960s) campus guru and one-time avatar of the Lord Matraya (Matraya = Azazel), Jiddhu Krishnamurti (1897-1986).” – p.81 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman (As noted in her biography Garbo: Her Story p.302, silent film actress Greta Garbo whose 1926 A.D. film Flesh and the Devil would propel her to international stardom, had herself associated with “…occultists, devil worshippers, mind readers, and those who occupied themselves with summoning the spirits…” immersing herself in the practice of “…astrology, occultism and magic.” No doubt her occultist friends included Hollywood Hellfire Club-member John Barrymore [John Barrymore was a friend of Hollywood Hellfire Club-member John Carradine, a later member of Jack parson’s OTO lodge] with whom she appears in the 1932 A.D. feature film, Grand Hotel) (Krishnamurti was permanently ensconced in Ojai, California from the early 1920s until the mid 1980s—Ojai would become somewhat of a Western Mecca, a meeting place for Illuminated minds. Even Bertrand Russell himself made a rare appearance there. Aldous Huxley’s signature novel Brave New World [which was also a later mainstay on the 1960s college campus scene] was published at this time in 1932 A.D., and Huxley’s After Many a Summer published in 1939 A.D. was written in its entirety during a stay at Krishnamurti’s house in Ojai. J. Krishnamurti retained a residence in Ojai, CA at the Pepper Tree Retreat, which, as we learn from its website circa 2011 A.D.: “Pepper Tree Retreat [& Education Center] is the former guest house of noted philosopher J. Krishnamurti, who lived at nearby Pine Cottage (now the Krishnamurti Library) from 1922 to 1986. During his 64 years in Ojai, Krishnamurti welcomed thousands of visitors from around the world who were challenged by his penetrating inquiries into the fundamental questions of life. These included such 20th Century luminaries as Annie Besant [Annie Besant was one of Krishnamurti’s original handlers], Aldous Huxley, John Barrymore, Greta Garbo, David Bohm, Dr. Jonas Salk, D.H. Lawrence, Jackson Pollack, Igor Stravinsky, The Beatles, and many others.” ‘Others’ of course included Bertrand Russell). (Of an associated note: “In 1945, [British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-OTO member Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher] Isherwood published Prater Violet, fictionalizing his first movie writing job in London in 1933-1934 with the Viennese director Berthold Viertel [Viertel would later be employed as a Warner Bros.© director/screenwriter (note this Warner Bros.© connection to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the OTO)]. In Hollywood, Viertel’s wife, Salka [a close friend of actress/occultist Greta Garbo], an actress [Salka and Garbo would appear together in a 1931 A.D. German-language film-version of Eugene O’Neill’s** Anna Christie] and screenwriter [Garbo appears in the 1933 A.D. film Queen Christina, story and screenplay by Salka Viertel, as well as The Painted Veil (1934 A.D.) for which Salka had 485

written the screenplay as well], entertained the most intellectual European émigrés, including (director) Max Reinhardt (a friend of artist Paul Gaugin’s theosophist friend August Strindberg. It was Max Reinhardt who directed the 1935 A.D. Warner Bros© film A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Olivia de Havilland and a youthful Kenneth Anger [also with actress Helen Wescott, daughter of Warner Bros.© actor Gordon Wescott, both likely being related to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-founder William Wynn Wescott]), and his sons Gottfried and Wolfgang, Thomas Mann (whose son Golo Mann would serve as an OSS spy during WWII) and Heinrik Mann and their families, Igor and Vera Stravinsky, Charlie and Oonagh Chaplin, Bertolt Brecht, the Huxleys [Laura and Aldous], and Greta Garbo [Greta Garbo, a friend of British spymaster William Stephenson, is known to have served as a British Intelligence agent during WWII as well]. Isherwood was warmly received in Salka Viertel’s salon and for a time lived over her garage [at her home in Santa Monica, CA]…” – The Christopher Isherwood Foundation: Biography [**Eugene O’Neill was an Irish American playwright and Nobel Prize in Literature winner whose Ireland-born father, James O’Neill, was an actor who acted with Edwin Booth [brother of actor/Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth]. His daughter Oonagh would marry Charlie Chaplin. O’Neill’s son and namesake, Eugene O’Neill, Jr., was a Yale Skull and Bones Doctor of Philosophy who would later teach at the CIA-associated New School for Social Research]. Needless to say, this was a nest of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-connected spies)

Prior to the advent of television, computers and computer gaming, theatrical/operatic companies and productions as well as lectures, reading clubs, literary clubs/circles and study groups were all the rage in Europe and America. Often these groups were organized as fronts for other organizations including those of an Intelligence and/or revolutionary nature, with most groups containing smaller secret inner circles (Pertinent Quote: “The existence of an inner circle within an order or society of some kind, is a frequent means of occult organization. Many such ‘orders within orders’ exist at the present day.” – p.52 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present by Doreen Valiente) (Recall the Illuminati’s preferred tool of subversion was the creation of such reading societies and book clubs).

Many of these groups during the inter-war period between World Wars I and II were known to be infiltrated by various country’s spies as well as by their civilian collaborators (many of these literary groups were magic-based. Such occult magic groups have long been known as espionage fronts. In fact, Britain had a department known as the Occult Bureau within its MI5 Intelligence agency, as did Hitler’s feared SS secret police agency, known as the Ahnenerbe. The Ahnenerbe by one account incorporated into one occult organization the Thule group, the Vril Society and the German branch of the Ordo Templi Orientis [OTO], Aleister Crowley’s very own magical order. The notorious Sicilian occultist Julius Evola also worked with the Ahnenerbe). Such groups often provide the nucleus for subversive 486

groups as well as political parties and social movements, etc. Such a theatrical group, housed at the California Theater in San Francisco, California, gave rise to the Bohemian Club, the owners of the Bohemian Grove, where an annual meeting of the world’s most powerful men is held to this very day, where is included amongst the activities ceremonial magic rituals invoking the angel Azazel in a grove-embellished theatrical setting shades of sacred Druidic rites. Significantly enough, the story of magic and of the rebellious fallen angels was a favorite theme of the aforementioned period, being widely ingrained within the popular culture: “Druids (who were practitioners of magic) began to figure widely in popular culture with the first advent of Romanticism (“Romanticism…was the artistic expression of the mysticism of [Louis] Claude de Saint-Martin [of Martinism, French Illuminated Freemasonry which originated in a French Freemasonic lodge]…The romantics were driven by the spirit of magic.” - The Occult by Colin Wilson, 1971 A.D. Martinism = Illuminati). Chateaubriand’s novel Les Martyrs (1809) narrated the doomed love of a druid priestess (by definition a witch) and a Roman soldier; though Chateaubriand’s theme was the triumph of Christianity over Pagan druids, the setting was to continue to bear fruit. Opera provides a barometer of well-informed popular (elitist) European culture in the early 19th century: in 1817 Giovanni Pacini brought druids to the stage in Trieste with an opera to a libretto by Felice Romani about a druid priestess (again, in essence, a witch), La Sacerdotessa d'Irminsul ("The Priestess of Irminsul"). The most famous druidic opera, Vincenzo Bellini’s Norma was a fiasco at La Scala (a world renowned opera house in Milan, Italy), when it premiered the day after Christmas, 1831; but in 1833 it was a hit in London (where magic was quite popular amongst London’s upper class theater goers). For its libretto, Felice Romani reused some of the pseudo-druidical background of La Sacerdotessa to provide colour to a standard theatrical conflict of love and duty. The story was similar to that of Medea, as it had recently been recast for a popular Parisian play by Alexandre Soumet: the diva of Norma’s hit aria, ‘Casta Diva,’ is the moon goddess (who represents the human wife of the angel Azazel), being worshipped in the ‘grove of the Irmin statue’ (Irmin was a Germanic god of war who represented Azazel—the ‘Irmin statue’ an idol in shape resembling a tau cross, the sign of Azazel [See Appendix A]. Sacred groves [by definition a small group of trees] were holy places where gods were traditionally summoned: “Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and 487

called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.” - Genesis 21:33, and “the altar of Baal” [Azazel] was also situated in such a “grove” [See Judges 6:25, 2Kings 17:16, 2Kings 21:3] and “Maachah the mother of Asa the king” had erected such “an idol in a grove” thusly provoking the Lord to anger [See 2Chronicles 15:16]. Druidic magic practices were a continuation of this earlier tradition of Baal worship. A grouping of standing stones [aka menhir such as those to be found comprising the Druidic monument of Stonehenge] were also commonly set up as “a graven image of the grove” [See 2Kings 21:7] in which Baal/Azazel has historically been worshipped, often erected in temples [See 2Kings 23:4-6] and areas devoid of trees)” – Wikipedia: Druid (It is important to note a number of OTO members such as Leopold Engel and Theodor Reuss were themselves Romantic Era opera singers as paganism, magic and opera traditionally go hand in hand. The practicing ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff himself began staging his ‘Sacred Dances’ of the Sufi whirling dervishes under whom he had studied magic at the Tbilisi Opera House beginning in 1919 A.D. and was the creator of an operatic ballet entitled The Struggle of the Magicians. Operatic/theatrical groups have long been known to serve as income producing fronts for magic practicing inner-circles. It was from members of such a theatrical group as we shall discover that Gerald B. Gardner would receive his own initiation into witchcraft. This tradition is also inherent in the entertainment industry in Hollywood, as well as in the corporate music industry [stage magicians, who likewise ply their trade upon such theatrical stages, are also widely known to have been employed as spies]. Intelligence practices it must be stressed are not a government monopoly, particularly true in today’s corporate world, Pinkerton detective agents being an early notable example. Howard Hughes, in his own time one of the richest men in America, also employed a private network of spies and he was not alone by a longshot. Henry Ford is another notable example. No doubt today corporate espionage practices have greatly expanded).

This theme concerning mythologies and magic and fallen angels in popular culture is also apparent in the works of German operatic music composer Richard Wagner (1813 – 1883 A.D.) and in the works of other composers of his period as well (interestingly enough, Wagner’s son worked with American automaker Henry Ford, a rabid anti-Semite, to aid Adolf Hitler). And the works of the English bard Shakespeare, abounding with tales of witches, magic, gods and goddesses, were famous on the European theatrical stage both small and large. Wagner’s Muse-ical compositions are replete with tales of magic and of the fallen angels and of the gods who represented them. The fairy tales of Danish author and poet Hans Christian Andersen (1805 – 1875 A.D.), the subject of which was likewise magic, witchcraft and the rebellious fallen angels and their offspring, also circulated broadly at this time. These are but a few of many examples. By their very nature, poets and authors (the Bard William Shakespeare certainly being a prime example) are major players in the occult world 488

of magic. Culturally speaking, Europe was (and still is as evidenced by the popularity of Harry Potter which instills an early interest in magic amongst children) immersed in traditions of magic. Many of the major players in the occult realm are associated with otherwise seemingly innocuous theatrical groups (this is also according to long-standing occult tradition with Italian playwright/ceremonial magician Giambattista della Porta** being yet another notable example. Giambattista della Porta [1535-1615 A.D.] was the author of an early scientific work entitled Natural Magic as well as other books penned on the subjects of meteorology, optics, cryptography and military engineering. Some 17 theatrical works by Giambattista della Porta survive to this very day]). British witch Gerald B. Gardner, creator of the system of magic known as Wicca, was associated with the Rosicrucian Theatre at Christchurch in England: “Gerald Gardner (who worked for the British government in the Civil Service as a Customs officer in the Far East, later serving as an archaeologist/anthropologist) became a Co Mason when (upon his retirement from the Civil Service) he returned to England in 1936 (historically speaking, archaeology has long been the realm of the Freemason [as well as of the Fellow of the Royal Society (and the spy)] and many who would refute Christianity, you will find, are Freemason’s of the magic-practicing degrees). He joined Crotona (formally the "Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians"), a Co Masonic group (a Freemasonic Order) established by Mrs. (Mabel) Besant Scott, daughter of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant—it was Annie Besant who first introduced J. Krishnamurti to the world) that had formed “The First Rosicrucian Theater in England” (which presented plays with occult magic themes). It was within The First Rosicrucian Theater that Gerald (Gardner) found the coven (of witches) that initiated him.” (See Gerald Gardner, Witch Chapter 13. As Doreen Valiente explains in The Rebirth of Witchcraft p.56, Mabel Besant-Scott, who at the death of her mother Theosophical Society president Annie Besant became the leader of Co-Masonry in Britain, was Gerald B. Gardner’s neighbor in Highcliffe, a small town located at the time in the burrough of Christchurch** which abutted the New Forest region [**home to RAF Christchurch which served as a WWII 489

British RAF/U.S. Army Air Force base and additionally home to an RAF aircraft manufacturing plant (Airspeed Ltd.) owned by the De Havilland Aircraft Company]) – webspace.webring.com (Concerning the establishment of the First Rosicrucian Theater in England: “When the famous [Theosophical Society president] Annie Besant died, there was a split on the issue of the future leadership of the Theosophists. Some members wanted her daughter - Mrs. Besant Scott - others Bishop (C.W.) Leadbeater. The latter won. The unsuccessful candidate (Gerald B. Gardner’s neighbor Mrs. Mabel Besant Scott) then took up co-masonry (female freemasonry) which Annie (Besant) had started in England (“In 1902 she [Annie Besant] established the International Order of Co-Freemasonry in England and over the next few years established lodges in many parts of the British Empire.” – Wikipedia: Annie Besant. Serving as Grand Secretary of the International Order of Co-Freemasonry was Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Francis D. Harrison [See pp.42-43 The Golden Dawn Scrapbook]. Annie Besant’s uncle, Royal Society Fellow/historian W.H. Besant, was himself the son of a New Forest witch [See pp.38-39 The Autobiography of Walter Besant]). The centre of this was Southampton (Southampton, known as ‘The Gateway to the World,’ is a major port in England and is the closest city to the New Forest, a bohemian/gypsy witches haven. New Forest itself borders upon the stately Salisbury Plain, the very location of Stonehenge, a major Mecca for practitioners of magic). Things seemingly did not prosper, and the lady (Mrs. Mabel Besant Scott) went into partnership with a gentleman (named George Alexander Sullivan [1890 -1942 A.D.], alias Alex Mathews; Sullivan’s own disciples link to the Findhorn Foundation founded by Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians-member Peter Caddy** [1917 – 1994 A.D.]) known as Aurelius (aka Frater Aurelius, he likely being a member of the OTO and this was likely an Illuminati/British Intelligence front organization), and they started the "Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians" (previously known as The Order of Twelve and originally based in the Liverpool area. Liverpool*** is home to the the Merseyside Lodge of the Theosophical Society first established in 1895 A.D. Gerald B. Gardner was himself born in Merseyside in 1884 A.D. and a number of his ancestors had served as mayors of the city of Liverpool). Gerald Gardner, Witch by Idries Shah, 1960 A.D. Crotona was the name of the Dorian colony in southern Italy where Pythagoras had founded his Italian magic school [recall it was Pythagoras who had originally brought the Palladian Rite to Greece from Egypt, and the OTO had practiced the Palladian Rite]. According to U.F.O. contactee George Hunt Williamson in his heavily Theosophical Society-influenced book Secret Places of the Lion [1958 A.D.]: “Many strange legends have been preserved concerning the birth of Pythagoras… Ancients claimed he was no mortal man, but one of the gods who had taken a human body [read: that he was an angel incarnate]…” The First Rosicrucian Theater/Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians featured plays on the subject of Druidism and Pythagoras and was known as well for hosting lectures on such occult subject matters as hypnotism, magic and Esoteric Christianity [Esoteric Christianity is a term often used as a synonym for the word ‘Gnosticism,’ the word Gnosticism being synonymous with witchcraft]. Theaters and theatrical groups have long been employed as Illuminati/British Intelligence front operations. As an example, British Intelligence agent/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-OTO member Aleister Crowley had himself staged a number of magical theatrical presentations in his own time) (** Peter Caddy, who served as Commanding Officer of the RAF School of Cookery during World War II [most if not all of the RAF officers in our story are British Intelligence agents—Peter Caddy was one as well, and was himself involved in MKULTRA in the form of the Findhorn Ecovillage commune which he himself had founded and which abutted an RAF reconnaissance base in Scotland. As we learn from The Magic of Findhorn pp.73-4, during an apprenticeship with J. Lyons and Co. [a London-based restaurant-chain, food-manufacturing, and hotel conglomerate founded in 1887 A.D. (a WWII military contractor, J. Lyons and Co. was later a pioneeer in business computing which from 1947 – 1963 A.D. manufactured and sold Lyons Electronic Office computers). It was J. Lyons and Co. which in 1918 A.D. bought 490

out Horniman’s Tea Co., the world’s largest tea trading company of its day, owned and operated by the son of British M.P. Frederick John Horniman, father of actress Annie Horniman who had co-founded the Abbey Theater in partnership with Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats, a close associate of Aleister Crowley], Caddy would come “into contact with a fellowship of the original Christian Rosenkreutz Rosicrucians, not the AMORCs from San Jose …but the older European branch” [read: members of the the SRIA. It was SRIA ceremonial magician S.L. Macgregor Mathers, an associate of W.B. Yeats, who would co-found the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] of which he [Peter Caddy] would become a member [Peter Caddy was inducted into the SRIA] and through which contacts he would enter “the Crotona Fellowship under the tutelage” of Dr. [George Alexander] Sullivan, the Supreme Magus of the Rosicrucian Order Crotona Fellowship (of which group Gerald B. Gardner was also a member), whom Peter Caddy had first met in 1936 A.D. Members of the Findhorn Spiritualist community were known to channel “the great god Pan” (who is Azazel, and with whom they allegedly had established contact) while high on LSD and were said as well to be in communication with the Deva-angels themselves]. One of the three founding members of the Findhorn Ecovillage commune [founded in 1962 A.D.] included one Dorothy Maclean. As we learn from The Magic of Findhorn pp.172-3, during WWII Dorothy Maclean had worked for British Intelligence in partnership with the Spiritualist guru Sheena Govan (Govan would later become Peter Caddy’s wife). During the course of her wartime Intelligence activities Dorothy Maclean would become an adept in the practice of Sufism. Findhorn Ecovillage itself in turn links to the Lindisfarne Association located in Crestone, Colorado, itself conceived as a Findhorn sister school which British Intelligence agent Dorothy Maclean would co-found in 1973 A.D. in partnership with New Age Spiritualist medium David Spangler. ‘New Age’ is in its very essence a latter-day blanket term encompassing the resurgent magic systems of every culture in every age in the history of the world [various modern manifestations of which are quite often composed of various amalgamations thereof] most of which share a quite common ancient Sumerian source. According to Doreen Valiente in The Rebirth of Witchcraft, initial contact between Gerald B. Gardner and the New Forest witches occurred during WWII) (***Liverpool was the site of the 1955 A.D. Theosophical Congress [of worldwide Theosophical Society factions] headed by James A. Long [leader of the Theosophical Society (Pasadena)] and held at the Brittania Hotel Adelphi, dubbed the “most luxurious hotel outside of London.” Guests at this hotel have included President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British P.M. Winston Churchill while performers appearing at its Empire Theatre have included Sir Henry Irving, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Judy Garland. Liverpool was a major arrival and departure point for ocean liners during the 20th Century [which prior to the advent of the jet airplane was the primary mode of travel between the U.S. and England—from the port of Liverpool trains (owned and operated by the Booth family) ran in to London. The British railway system would be nationalized in 1948 A.D.]—the HMS Titanic [which sank during its maiden voyage between England and the U.S. in 1912 A.D.] was itself registered out of Liverpool. Brittania Hotel Adelphi was owned and operated by the Midway Railway company which also owned a number of British ocean liners [a number of which would be requisitioned in wartime by the British Navy]. Ocean liners [and railways for the movement of troops] would play a major role during WWI and WWII being used as troopships and hospital ships in the case of ocean liners and for the transport of military troops and supplies, and no doubt the management of this corporation had extensive army-navy contracts, contacts and Intelligence associations. The sinking of the R.M.S. Lusitania ocean liner [including the attendant deaths of over 1,100 civilians] as it traversed between ports in New York City and Liverpool in 1915 A.D. in the inaugural year of WWI by hostile German submarines would play a major role in America’s decision to enter the war on the side of the British) (Also associated with Findhorn Ecovillage is British psychologist Phillip Carr-Gomm, founder of The Esoteric Society in London which was known for hosting talks by authors including Gareth Knight [author of various books on the subject of magic including The Occult] and W.E. Butler [a Spiritualist medium, W.E. 491

Butler had studied under Theosophical Society president Annie Besant in India and had been a member of Dion Fortune’s Society of the Inner Light, a successor organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn], the two being co-founders in 1965 A.D. of the Servants of the Light [SOL] magic order. Born in the Notting Hill section of London in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Phillip Carr-Gomm had himself been mentored in the Ancient Druid Order [Gerald B. Gardner was a member of this order as well] by Cambridgegrad/poet/journalist Ross Nichols [founder in 1964 A.D. of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, today the largest Druid group in the world, the leadership position of which Nichols’ student Phillip Carr-Gomm would succeed], a friend of Wicca founder Gerald B. Gardner whom he first met at Bricket Wood [Ross Nichols, a member of Gerald B. Gardner’s Bricket Wood coven, served circa 1949 A.D. as assistant editor for Michael Houghton’s short-lived quarterly, The Occult Observer. It was Michael Houghton, owner of the Atlantis Bookshop in London, who had published Gerald B. Gardner’s first book, High Magic’s Aid in 1949 A.D. and Ross Nichol’s would also assist in the production of Gardner’s follow-up book Witchcraft Today published in 1954 A.D. Following the publication of this book, it is said, witch “covens began forming up and down the country” in England. Ross Nichols is known to have lectured at the Theosophical Society in Dublin as well]. In his book The Druid Tradition, in part a history of modern day Druidism in England, Phillip Carr-Gomm includes a photograph of Master Mason Winston Churchill’s own initiation into the Ancient and Archaeological Order of Druids [originally founded in 1874 A.D. by Freemason Robert Wentworth Little, all of whose members were by requirement Master Masons]. As the reader will recall it was Robert Wentworth Little who had previously founded the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia [the SRIA, all of whose members were required to be Master Masons], a number of whose members would go on to found the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order. All of these organizations [along with the individuals so involved] are in fact intricately interwoven as branches of one quite common Illuminati trunk)

This mystical theatrical tradition in Europe eventually wound its way into the culture of Hollywood, California, in America. In fact, directly related to the Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians in England was a town in California similarly named Krotona, it being the communal home to the Krotona Inn and its attendent holy high-place, the Grand Temple of the Rosy Cross originally located in the Hollywood Hills area in beautiful Beachwood Canyon, canyon home to the iconic ‘HOLLYWOOD’ sign: “Krotona** was one of three important Theosophical ‘colonies’ in the U.S. during the early part of the 20th century. Originally built in Hollywood during 1912 (upon completion of which the Theosophical Society headquarters were moved from Chicago, IL to Hollywood in California), the colony was eventually relocated to Ojai,** California in 1926 (**home to J. Krishnamurta), where it operates today as the Krotona Institute of Theosophy.” – Wikipedia: Krotona (** One of the more notable residents of the Theosophical Society’s Krotona commune was Theosophist/actor/director Charlie Chaplin who’s Moorcrest home was significantly located within the Krotona commune. Another star of the Hollywood silent film era, Warner Bros.© actress Mary Astor, would move into Moorcrest along with her parents when Charlie Chaplin vacated the premises in 1925 A.D. Mary Astor was famous for starring in several Hollywood 492

movies alongside actor/Hell Fire Club-member John Barrymore [Mary Astor was even at one point John Barrymore’s fiancѐ]. Mary Astor’s friend Marie Russak [an associate of Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC) founder H. Spencer Lewis] was a co-founder along with Theosophical Society president Annie Besant in 1912 A.D. of the Order of the Temple of the Rosy Cross.*** Marie Russak would marry real estate magnate Henry Hotchener, and Henry Hotchener would become John Barrymore’s business manager, while Marie Russak herself would serve as John Barrymore’s personal astrologer [See Charlie Chaplin's Hideaway by Jacqueline Shannon, Mega Dream Homes© Magazine]) (***For more information on the Order of the Temple of the Rosy Cross [OTRC], see the May 1913 A.D. issue of THE AMERICAN THEOSOPHIST and The Rosicrucian Philosophy in Questions and Answers Volume II: Question No. 145, The Theosophical Temple of the Rosy Cross by Max Heindel. The founding of the Mystical Order of the Temple of the Rosy Cross, a reformulation of the Theosophical Society’s original OTRC, is scheduled for the year 2012 A.D. to commemorate the OTRC’s centennial founding) (The Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis [AMORC] is not to be confused with the Carbonari-affiliated Spiritualist/sex magician Paschal Beverly Randolph’s Fraternitas Rosae Crucis [although they do in fact appear to be associated] which he founded in 1858 A.D. in San Francisco, CA following his inititation into the Rosicrucian order by Hargrave Jennings who Randolph in his writings has described as “chief Rosicrucian of all England.” Hargrave Jennings was a key member of the SRIA (founded 1867 A.D.), members of which gave birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn which is the magicpracticing inner-circle of the greater Theosophical Society founded by Carbonari-member H.P. Blavatsky. It is important to note the Carbonari’s association with the city of San Francisco as the Carbonari-affiliated Spiritualist D.D. Home would later take up residence there in San Francisco as well)

Krotona was additionally home to Theosophical Societymember Alice A. Bailey’s Arcane School of magic. A number of students attending Alice A. Bailey’s Arcane School of magic hailed from the membership rolls of the The First Rosicrucian Theater/Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians group with which Gerald B. Gardner and Theosophical Society president Annie Besant’s daughter, Mabel Besant-Scott, was associated. In 1926 A.D., the colony at Krotona would relocate to Ojai, CA, site of J. Krishnamurti’s Pepper Tree Retreat. In the post-World War II era, the Gertrude Stein/Theosophical Society associated group of Parisian mystics would itself partially reconstitute and congregate in California. One of these centers was located in Sausolito, CA, in the San Francisco Bay Area, where in 1948 A.D. the S.S. Vallejo, a decommissioned WWII era ferry-turnedhouseboat/art studio owned in part by the English Surrealist artist Gordon Onslow Ford (in 1961 A.D., Alan Watts would take over Ford’s portion of the ferry: “And there Watts wrote books, and held seminars (under the auspices of the Society for Comparative Philosophy which he had co-founded with Elsa Gidlow) and introduced ideas new at the time—human potential, sensory 493

awareness, mysticism. He held séances and explored the occult, hosted philosophers, writers and the foremost thinkers of the time [including Timothy Leary, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure, Allan Ginsberg, Robert Duncan, Kenneth Rexroth, Frank and Shirley Triest and James Broughton].” - The Old Ferryboats Of Sausalito by Annie Sutter). Gordon Onslow Ford (who would marry San Francisco heiress Jacqueline Johnson), the grandson of Victorian-era English sculptor Edward Onslow Ford, was a friend of Gertrude Stein and one of the last surviving members of the 1930’s Paris Surrealist group of authors and artists surrounding Surrealist automatist poet Andrѐ Breton. By the 1950s and carrying on through the ’60s, the ferry itself would become a Parisian-style artist’s salon, a mecca for mystics and spiritualists the world over. Another co-owner of the S.S. Vallejo was artist Jean Varda (Jean Varda was a friend of British artist/poet Julian Trevelyan who had served as a Camouflage Officer for British Intelligence during WWII). It was Jean Varda who had induced the mystic author/Theosophical Societymember Henry Miller to relocate to California in 1943 A.D., with Varda being a frequent visitor to the Miller residence there in the highplaced hills of Big Sur, a site of innumerable magic rituals. Henry Miller’s father, it needs be noted (as Henry Miller himself explains in The Time of the Assassins p.12), was of royal Bavarian birth, he being descended from Emperor Franz Joseph (See Henry Miller’s Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymous Bosch p.151) who had ascended the Austrian throne as a result of the Revolutions of 1848 and whose titles included King of Bohemia (think: Bavarian Illuminati). Emperor Franz Joseph was the brother of the Carbonari-installed Emperor Maximillian of Mexico. It was the assassination of Emperor Franz Joseph’s nephew, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which is cited as the catalyst which sparked World War I. Henry Miller, a known member of the Carbonari-associated Theosophical Society (and quite likely a member of the OTO considering his many OTO associations), was a member of the House of Habsburg, and as such a claimant to the royal Habsburg crown. The Hapsburg family is said to be directly descended from the Merovingian bloodline, being of the reputed ‘Holy Grail’ bloodline of Mary Magdalene herself** [though more to the truth, the so-called Holy Grail Bloodline is esoterically known as the ‘serpent’s seed,’ this being based upon scripture found in Genesis 3:15, they allegedly being bloodline descendents of the Genesis serpent Azazel through Cain. For more information see Evildoer Added to Evildoer by John of the Gentiles]). (** As a way of 494

explanation: “In a variant of associated myths [constituting the story of the Grail Quest] the mysteries of Jesus are subsumed under the lore of the royal bloodlines [they offering the alternative rendering ‘san greal,’ which translates as the ‘holy grail,’ as ‘sang real’ meaning ‘blood royal’] of the Serpent of Faery and Elf [the Genesis Serpent Azazel, aka mlk/king] wherein Jesus is depicted as married to Mary Magdalene [See The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown], and their natural descendents as heirs of the magical priesthood attributed to Christ. These founded or married into the Merovingian dynasty of France [the so-called Merovingian Cathars/Albigensian Cathars***]…an error of tragic proportions.” - Alien Initiations by Harald Kleeman, 2003 A.D. Indeed: “Another scion of the [Hapsburg] family, Archduke Johann von Hapsburg [of Austria], in the late 1800s provided a huge gift of cash to a parish priest named Father Sauniere [Francois Berenger Sauniere], which sum he used to build a temple to Mary Magdalene in France’s Renne-le-Chateau [a commune located in the Languedoc area of France, the site of the Roman Catholic Church’s 13th Century Albigensian Crusades which sought to ferret out the propounders of the Albigensian heresies]. Mary Magdalene, alleged to have borne a child by Jesus—remember? Sauniere was also connected to the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light and the [Rosicrucian] Priory of Sion. According to J.R. Church, the author of Guardians of the Grail, "The Hapsburg dynasty which ruled the Holy Roman Empire since the 15th century, is the direct lineage of the Merovingian bloodline. The Habsburgs are reputed to be the family of the Holy Grail offspring of Mary Magdalene (the very Mary Magdalene who had been “healed of evil spirits” by Jesus and his disciples, the “Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils” [See Luke 8:1-2]).” - Saucers of the Illuminati by Jim Keith, 2004 A.D. For an interesting take on this subject see The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, 1982 A.D. [published by Jonathan Cape publishers in London, co-authored by a Freemasonic Grand Officer from the United Grand Lodge of England named Michael Baigent, by Henry Lincoln, pen name of English actor/screenwriter Henry Soskin (Soskin’s film credits include the 1968 A.D. Roger Corman-associated film production company/AIP film Curse of the Crimson Altar starring Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee) and the British American-born author Richard Leigh. The information in this book would serve as the basis for Dan Brown’s novel The Davinci Code] which identifies the Merovingians as being the creators of the Priory of Sion and the Knights Templar group whose object it was to 495

install members of the Habsburg family upon every throne of a united Europe. One must also be cognizant of the fact that French author Gérard de Sède’s 1967 A.D. book L’Or de Rennes (The Gold of Rennes) was authored on this very same subject as concerning the lineage of the ‘last’ of the Merovingian kings, Dagobert II. The book tells the story of de Sède’s associate Pierre Plantard, a purported descendent of Dagobert II who was as well a professed member of the House of Habsburg (he claimed to be related to the Winston Churchillassociated Habsburger Otto von Habsburg, an early advocate of a unified Europe who would later serve as a European Parliament Member for the European Union under the conservative Christian Social Union of Bavaria [CSU] party). Gérard de Sède had been a member of the French Resistance during WWII and ties to Henry Miller and Gertrude Stein’s pre-WWII Parisian Surrealist group, de Sède being a known associate of Andrè Breton], facts soon to be appreciated as the reader reads on and the plot invariably thickens. Gertrude Stein and her homosexual life partner Alice B. Toklas had served as godparents for author Earnest Hemingway’s son John Hemingway, an Allied spy who had worked with the French Resistance during WWII. The French Resistance often helped downed British RAF and U.S. Army Air Force fighter pilots and other escaping POWs to safely flee from hostile enemy/Nazi Germany-occupied France during this war, the number estimated to be in the several thousands) (***Cathar troubadores typically ranged the French countryside immortalizing their ‘heresies’ in poems and songs in which the Grail Mysteries figured prominently. Adolph Hitler’s own quest for the Grail would focus on this area in France through the efforts of an SS officer named Otto Rahn, author of a 1933 A.D. treatise entitled Crusade Against the Grail: The Struggle between the Cathars, the Templars, and the Church of Rome. Otto Rahn believed the Cathars to be the true custodians of the Holy Grail which he had tried in vain to attain and with which he had hoped and I certainly quote to “open the gates of Lucifer’s kingdom.” 1964 A.D. would witness this book’s re-release by Hans E. Gunther Verlag under the supervision of Karl Rittersbacher, a disciple of Rudolf Steiner’s Theosophical Society [translator Christopher Jone’s English translation of this title was aided in part by Surrealist artist Salvador Dali (a former Walt Disney Studios employee and close personal friend of Walt Disney. Walt Disney was the creator of the1963 A.D. animated feature The Sword and the Stone, a children’s version of the story of 496

King Arthur) and the Oxford University-educated academician Ronald Hilton, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University] no doubt helping to fuel the 1960’s Grail Quest) Another artist resident of the Sausalito houseboats was Kabalist/artist Gerd Stern, a German Jewish immigrant who arrived in America in 1936 A.D. in the years following Hitler’s rise to power, he first settling amongst the Jewish refugee population gathered in Manhattan in New York City in America, he later falling in with a group of artists and actors centered in Greenwich Village (East Village), where he would link up with author Michael Fraenkel, a former member of the Parisian magic/literary scene centered around Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Alfred Perles, (British author) Lawrence Durrell (a known former employee of the British Foreign Office which served as the forerunner of Britain’s MI6) and (French poet/actor/magic adept) Antonin Artaud. A Beat era poet, Gerd Stern’s houseboat was frequented by many famous members of the American jazz music scene (Beatnik poetry was typically recited to live jazz accompaniment. Many famous jazz musicians in this area had served in the Presidio of San Francisco’s U.S. Army Air Corp military band under the command of General ‘Hap’ Arnold during WWII). As Gerd Stern his self explains in an interview: “Now somewhere during that time in the Village, I met a group of people who were around a man named Michael Fraenkel, the author of a book called Bastard Death (the second edition of which includes an Introduction by Henry Miller who resided for a time with Fraenkel at his home in the Villa Seurat during the 1930s where according to English author Cecily MacKworth: “…they went on playing jazz on the gramophone, reading their poetry aloud to each other...” The later Beatnik ethos of reciting poetry to jazz accompaniment simply continued this tradition). He also had a series of correspondences which were in several published volumes with Henry Miller (Henry Miller’s Hamlet Letters, Vol. I & Vol. II). Through that group I met Michael (Fraenkal) and Henry (Miller). That became the connection to Israel (during the 1930s in Paris Fraenkel had co-founded a press with Communist business partner Walter Lowenfels who would in 1953 A.D. be charged by the FBI in a conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government. Fraenkel’s literary works appear in The Nation and The New Republic)… Then when the whole political situation in Israel surfaced (Gerd Stern as he explains: “…had been involved with the 497

Sternist movement [Lehi, aka the Stern gang] to send a boat to Israel [the S.S. Ben Hecht, which carried 900 refugees to Palestine in March, 1947 A.D. and which would become the flagship of the Israeli Navy], which was principally financed by [former Hollywood Hellfire Clubmember] Ben Hecht and Harpo Marx…”)…” - From Beat Scene Poet to Psychedelic Multimedia Artist in San Francisco and Beyond, 1948-1978. It is important to note that the individuals involved in the creation of Israel were associated with 33° Freemason/British spy Aleister Crowley and with Crowley’s OTO [Order of Oriental Templars] magic order, for as: “…Freemason Eliphas Levi himself said that the purpose of the hidden Templars within Freemasonry [read: that the reason for the creation of the OTO itself] was to rebuild the temple of Solomon [in Israel].” Angels, Demons and Freemasons: The True Conspiracy, 2008 A.D. In other words, the creation of Israel [and the subsequent construction of the Rebuilt Temple] was the ultimate goal of the OTO and was the motive for its creation. They are well on their way to achieving this goal [The Temple Institute in Jerusalem (founded in 1987 A.D.) is currently working towards the building of the Temple in Jerusalem upon the Temple Mount and the subsequent restoration of the Temple service (for more information see www.templeinstitute.org). Their preparations are nearly complete (“American Christian fundamentalists, who believe that the raising of the temple will herald the Second Coming, are helping to promote the research.” - Daily Telegraph: Temple mission raises tensions, Sept. 27, 1991A.D.)***]. These pro-Israeli efforts brought him within the sphere of influence of Lionell Trilling [whose undergraduate research assistant David Lehman (a Guggenheim Fellowship Award-winning poet) would go on to teach at the CIAassociated New School for Social Research in N.Y.], George Edward Woodberry Professor of Literature and Criticism at Columbia University [whose students during the 1960s included Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Lionell Trilling would later serve as a professor at Harvard University]. Gerd Stern would through this circle of artists and intellectuals [formerly known as the New York Intellectuals group] meet a number of individuals associated with Black Mountain College including Black Mountain College instructors Paul Goodman and John Cage [Gerd Stern would even reside for a time at the Gatehill Co-op during the 1960s, an artists community located in Rockland County, N.Y. with John Cage and a number of people associated with Black Mountain College along with a certain unnamed member of the Mellon family, the main patron of which group was Paul Williams (“a 498

primary funder at that time of radical causes and artwork”) who also provided the funding for The Living Theatre (Ibid p.60), an anarchist pacifist theater group which took Antonin Artaud’s surrealist Theatre of Cruelty theories to new and dramatic heights]. A distinguished poet, Gerd Stern would subsequently relocate to San Francisco becoming associated with the San Francisco Art Institute and with various members of the San Francisco Renaissance group of artists and poets associated therewith: “A personal acquaintance of [Kenneth] Rexroth, [Allen] Ginsburg, and [Michael] McClure, Gerd [Stern] was once a lover of author Maya Angelou [T.V. talk-show host Oprah Winfrey’s Spiritualist ‘mentor’] with whom he lived on the houseboats in Sausalito. At the time, he [Gerd Stern] worked as a reporter for Playboy magazine and she [Maya Angelou] was a young singer in San Francisco nightclubs. Gerd was also a production artist for the famous Timothy Leary lectures on the expanding of consciousness qualities of the drug LSD… As artist, Gerd was invited to teach at both the University of California and at Harvard University.” - A LIFE ON THE FIRST WAVES OF RADICAL BOHEMIANISM IN SAN FRANCISCO. Gerd Stern also at one point in time served as public relations director at Alan Watts’ radio station, KPFA, where also worked Frank Triest’s brother, Bill Triest (Ibid p.275). Gerd Stern also had served as manager for composer Harry Partsch’s musical ensemble (Ibid p.276). Stern had met Partsch (who resided at the bohemian artist’s village located at Anderson Creek in Big Sur with Jean Varda and Henry Miller [it was here that Henry Miller would pen his book Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymous Bosch]) at a party hosted at this time by Gordon Onslow Ford (See p.35 From Beat Scene Poet to Psychedelic Multimedia Artist in San Francisco and Beyond, 1948-1978). Another of Gerd Stern’s notable neighbors at this time was John Drew Barrymore, the son of Hollywood Hellfire Club-member John Barrymore (recall Gerd Stern was also an associate of Hollywood Hellfire Club-member Ben Hecht) and father of Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore. John Barrymore was a friend of John Carradine who was a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge. At this time John Drew Barrymore was the manager of the Purple Onion jazz nightclub at which was employed Beatnik poet Gerd Stern’s live-in girlfriend Maya Angelou (Ibid p.44). After parting ways with Maya Angelou, Gerd Stern would take up with a poet named Ann London (“Dan London was her father. Dan London was the manager of the St. Francis Hotel, he was the Commodore of the Golden Fleet, he was a director of the Golden Gate 499

Bridge, he was a personal friend of the Shah [the Shah of Iran, whose rise to power was the result of a CIA coup in 1953 A.D., was the first Middle Eastern leader to recognize Israel as an independent sovereign state] and of President [Dwight] Eisenhower [it was Eisenhower who had appointed Allen Dulles to head the CIA which installed the Shah of Iran], and etcetera. He was a big shot, a big deal.”) through whom he would meet and become close friends with San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen (Ibid p.48). Both Gerd Stern and Herb Caen’s wife Sally had had many mutual friends from their Greenwich Village days including Mason Hoffenberg. Through Herb Caen’s contacts Gerd Stern would gain employment during the early 1960s with Playboy© magazine through its associate publisher, August C. Spectorsky (Ibid p.52) for which magazine Herb Caen and Gerd Stern wrote the “Playboy On the Town” restaurant/bar review article and soon after during the course of his USCO multi-media art project Stern would find himself making the acquaintance of Ananda Coomaraswamy, curator of fine arts at the Boston Museum (Ibid p.82. Ananda Coomaraswamy was yet another of OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s occultist acquaintances), and soon after following a write up in Life magazine and multimedia performances at MIT would find himself engaged in projects with CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary (whose CIA MKULTRA experiments were largely carried out at Harvard University), Richard Alpert and Ralph Metzner and in Timothy Leary’s own Castalia Foundation (Ibid p.83). It was Gerd Stern’s artistic company USCO which produced Timothy Leary’s Psychedelic Theatre theatrical events which ran in theaters in New York City (Timothy Leary’s Castalia Foundation hosted theater events in New York City which they termed the “Psychedelic Theater”) which were staged as Castalia Foundation fundraising events. USCO would also conduct multimedia performances for MKULTRA psychiatrist Timothy Leary at MIT and Brandeis Universities (Ibid p.84. Another quite notable owner of a Sausolito houseboat was Stewart Brand [producer of the Ken Kesey-hosted 1966 A.D. Trips Festival Acid Test in San Francisco featuring music by The Grateful Dead], a former member of U.S. Army Intelligence and an associate of Ken Kesey who would along with Ken Kesey serve as a Menlo Park/MKULTRA test subject [Alan Watts and various members of The Grateful Dead took part in these MKULTRA studies as well], who would like many in our story study at the San Francisco Art Institute and at San Francisco State College. Stewart Brand [who 500

also participated in LSD studies at the International Foundation for Advanced Study] would later work with Gerd Stern in Stern’s USCO multi-media company [See p.19 The Height Ashbury: A History]. From 1977 – 1979 A.D., Stewart Brand would serve as a ‘special adviser’ to California Governor Jerry Brown and in 1986 A.D. as a ‘visiting scientist’ at MIT. Stewart Brand, author of a number of books on the subject of computers, was one of the individuals at the forefront of the development of the Silicon Valley computer scene). Another quite notable friend of Gerd Stern who Stern had known in both New York and San Francisco was OTO-member Harry Smith (Ibid pp.91-92), a former co-member with Jack Parsons in Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodge, Stern also being a friend of Ken Kesey (Ibid p.96), Michael McClure (Ibid p.100), Norman Mailer (Ibid p.101) and Alton Kelly of Kelly Mouse Studios who produced much of the album cover art work for The Grateful Dead and for Janis Joplin’s Big Brother and the Holding Company (Ibid p.101) as well. Gerd Stern had also known Dylan Thomas (Ibid p.147), a good friend of Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner Victor Neuburg, and interacted with anthropologist/psychologist Gregory Bateson (Ibid p.158) too (it was former OSS psychiatrist Gregory Bateson who had in fact conducted the MKULTRA LSD experiments in which this group participated). Another of Gerd Stern’s companies, Intermedia System Corporation, thanks to a trio of Harvard University professors associated with the CIA-associated psychiatrist Timothy Leary would eventually become a U.S. Information Agency/Commerce Department government contractor (Ibid p.108). Gerd Stern’s own close friends also include Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (an adherent of mystical ‘New Age Judaism’ which borrows from Sufic and Buddhist traditions), Professor Emeritus at Naropa Institute (Ibid p.111). There is little wonder why Gerd Stern has been largely written out of the history of the bohemian Beatnik/Hippie Movements as he acts to connect so many seemingly unassociated individuals. (Yet another notable resident of the Sausalito houseboats during the early 1960s is Hollywood actor Sterling Hayden who served in William J. Donovan’s COI during WWII and later under Donovan in the OSS [alongside OSS psychiatrist Gregory Bateson no doubt]. Sterling Hayden appears in the Stanley Kubrick produced 1964 A.D. film Dr. Strangelove [screenplay by Terry Southern] alongside future Church of Satanmember/actor Keenan Wynn. In his autobiography Church of Satanfounder Anton LaVey admitted to being involved in early Israeli gun501

running efforts) (*** A central figure in the scheme to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem was Theosophical Society President Annie Besants uncle: “(Royal Society Fellow) Sir Charles Warren (a British general/high-degree Freemasonic archaeologist who performed the first modern archaeological excavations on the Temple Mount)…was the founder of the research and intelligence arm of modern Freemasonry, the Ars Quatuor Coronati lodge (founded in 1886 A.D., amongst the founding members of which was the Secretary to the Palestine Exploration Fund [with which was associated British spy/archaeologist T.E. Lawrence] Sir Walter Besant, Theosophical Society president Annie Besant’s uncle). Warren did extensive research work in the Middle East in connection with the masonic project to rebuild the Temple at Jerusalem…laying the archaeological groundwork for the re-building of the Temple of Herod in Jerusalem.” - Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare by Michael A. Hoffman II) Another such aggregate of former Parisian mystics would congregate at Anderson Creek in the Big Sur area of California around Henry Miller after WWII. Concerning the anarchistic Bohemian artist’s colony coalescing in Big Sur amongst which group of sages Henry Miller takes center stage (as Henry Miller muses in Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymous Bosch: “I was a born anarchist…I was a rebel and an outlaw, a spiritual freak, so to say. My function in life was to create disturbance.”), Mildred Edie Brady writes in The New Cult of Sex and Anarchy (Harpers Magazine©, April 1947 A.D.): “Here in northern California they are shaping up the cultural mecca of the twentieth century. This is ‘the new Paris.’ No longer does the young writer head for New York or the Left Bank (of the Seine River in Paris. These relocations were partly due to the death of its central figure Gertrude Stein who had herself resided on and off in Paris from 1903 A.D. until her death in 1946 A.D.)… in the coastal hills of California…as you drive along the coast, up state highway number one (Anderson Creek itself was the site of a former labor camp built for workers employed in the construction of Highway One), you can see, if you look for them, the shacks, even tents, where literary immigrants have already set up typewriters. They are scattered over a wide area extending some twenty miles or more below Carmel (which town Brady therein describes as a “long established center for deviants”) which is, in turn, two to three hours below San Francisco… This is the Big Sur country, the Continent’s End of Robinson Jeffers (where 502

Robinson Jeffers’ Tor House home was located where according to the Tor House website: “Many influential literary and cultural celebrities were guests of the Jeffers family. Among them were [Nobel Prizewinning American author/playwright] Sinclair Lewis, [poet/playwright] Edna St. Vincent Millay, Langston Hughes [Hughes’ grandmother’s first husband, Lewis Sheridan Leary, would die from wounds received while actively participating in John Brown’s unsuccessful raid on the Federal armory at Harper’s Ferry. Lewis Sheridan Leary’s own paternal grandfather had served in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War], Charles Lindbergh [an Oddfellow-member and friend of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.], George Gershwin and Charlie Chaplin [also an Oddfellow member, Chaplin was a friend of the Warner Bros.-associated Bohemian Club-member William Randolph Hearst, one of the wealthiest men in America in his day. Hearst was likewise a friend of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. Charlie Chaplin’s half-brother, the actor Sydney Chaplin, was a Warner Bros.© actor/Famous Players-Lasky client who served as Charlie Chaplin’s business manager. Charlie Chaplin himself was a client of the William Morris Agency].” Robertson Jeffers [b.1887 – d.1962] was a close friend of D.H. Lawrence and of Bohemian Club-member George Sterling and was an associate of Theosophical Society-member J. Krishnamurti as well). It has long been one of California’s many prides and the town of Carmel, just above it, has been host to the nation’s retired, or vacationing, artists for years—the ones with money… The town of Carmel is close by and in the city, either in San Francisco (particularly centered around Kenneth Rexroth’s Portrero Hill home in S.F., an artists community which would later become a center for the 1960s LGBT movement) or Berkeley, there are concerts, bookstores,** restaurants, and (art) galleries to collect around. There are also kindred spirits there who haven’t yet found a hut in the hills and whose apartments afford meeting places for poetry-reading sessions and parties… the poetry-reading sessions are serious and solemn occasions. They are held weekly in both San Francisco and Berkeley (home to UCLA, Berkeley), where thirty or forty at a time can be found crowded together (it was these groups which would give birth to the “Beat Generation” and some of the individuals** who took part in these gatherings would come to be known as ‘Beatniks’ [**including Beat poets Kenneth Patchen and his friend Kenneth Rexroth (Rexroth was an early communist unionizer, founder of the Artists and Writers Union) and Rexroth’s close friends actor Frank 503

Triest and his mystic artist wife Shirley Triest [a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution; both were wealthy members of the Gurdjieff Society, their particular faction being largely composed of actors], fellow mystic artist Morris Graves, and Harvard-educated poet James Laughlin [known to have studied with port Ezra Pound, a friend of mystic poet Aleister Crowley’s associate, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master/poet W.B. Yeats], a former member of Gertrude Stein’s Parisian group of poets, artists and writers. James Laughlin [a friend of Beat poet Kenneth Rexroth who was also known to have been in correspondence with Ezra Pound] was the founder of New Directions Publishing founded in 1936 A.D. which would publish the works of the San Francisco Rennaissance/Beat Poets, publishing poetry tendered by Tennessee Williams as well. Laughlin would become a Ford Foundation grantee in the 1950s])…some of them write and others paint (many were WPA/PWAP**** employed artists including Hilaire Hiler, a 1920s member along with Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Sinclair Lewis and Ernest Hemmingway of the Gertrude Stein Parisian scene)... You could describe it, in brief, as a combination of anarchism and certain concepts related to psychoanalysis (including the common belief that sexual repression is the root of all neuroses) which together yield a philosophy holding on the one hand that you must abandon the church, the state, and the family (even if you do it, as [Theosophical Society-member] James Joyce preached, “by treachery, cunning, and exile”)(Theosophical Society-member James Joyce was a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats, James Joyce also being a friend of author/fellow Theosophical Society-member Henry Miller); and on the other offering sex as the source of individual salvation” (with “orgasm” being, in the words of Beatnik Surrealist poet Harold Norse, “the most immediate and universal form of union with God”), the entire group having been constituted as to quote Mildred Edie Brady, “a modern version of ancient fertility cults…which turns every sexual encounter into a religious rite” whereby “the sexual sacrament” is “the acme of worship.” In essence, by definition, the group practiced sex-magic pure and simple. Brady continues: “His (Theosophical Society-member Henry Miller’s) appetite for the mysterious was soon widely known and a host of dealers in occult lore came to see him: astrologers (including mystic artist Shirley Triest), faith healers, sexologists, and spiritualists laid their experiences in the wonderful at his feet (included amongst the mystics congregating in Big Sur was the 504

Paris-born, former UCLA, Berkeley ethnomusicologist Jaime de Angulo [a good friend of artist Gerd Stern] famous for having instructed San Francisco Rennaissance/Beat poet Robert Duncan on the subject of North American shamanic sorcery. Adopted as a child, Robert Duncan had grown up in a family of devout theosophists)... Among the astrologers was (Theosophical Society-member) Dane Rudhyer, an astrological philosopher who has lived near Los Angeles for many years… Rudhyer himself is also a contributor to Circle (George Leite’s Circle Magazine which he co-founded with former Manhattan Project scientist Bern Porter. A number of Manhattan Project scientists resided with Jack Parsons at Parsons’ Parsonage which played host to an OTO lodge).” (****The PWAP federal public New Deal works project instituted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt employed artists/muralists associated with the San Francisco Art Institute and was supervised by artists Ralph Stackpole [a friend of Kenneth Rexroth] and Bernard Zakheim. Shirley Triest had attended this art school as a child. Ralph Stackpole’s own son Peter Stackpole would become one of Life© magazine’s first staff photographers under the employ of Henry Luce, husband of playright/CIA spy Clara Boothe Luce. Another prominent employee of Henry Luce at Life© magazine was former OSS agent Dimitri von Mohrenchildt, a ‘friend’ of CIA spy George H.W. Bush, Henry Luce also being a ‘friend’ of Bush’s father, former Naval Intelligence officer Prescott Bush. Such friendships it would appear were cover for the Intelligence activities with which these individuals were involved) (** One of the Berkeley bookstores central to the Beatnik scene was daliel’s bookstore located on the 2400 block of Telegraph Avenue [the street itself is a center of campus and community life for the UCLA, Berkeley campus located in Berkeley, California] owned and operated by George Leite and where from 1945–1951 A.D. was published Circle Magazine which published the poetry, prose and art of the San Francisco Renaissance group of authors, poets (Beatniks) and artists including works by Kenneth Rexroth [Kenneth Rexroth at one point in time is known to have had himself carried out a correspondence with Ezra Pound who was a friend of W.B. Yeats, leader of the Theosophical Society’s magic-practicing inner-circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Yeats being directly connected to Aleister Crowley who had been a co-member of Yeats’ Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Kenneth Rexroth would pen the Introduction to a 1960 A.D. reprint of Golden Dawn-member A.E. Waite’s book The Holy Kabbalah, a 505

testament to Rexroth’s own dedication to magic and mysticism] and Theosophical Society-members Henry Miller and Dane Rudhyar. George Leite’s bookstore had also hosted concerts by the operatic music composer Harry Partsch [who had in 1934 A.D. met W.B. Yeats in Dublin where Yeats would give him letters of introduction to various individuals connected with the Abbey Theatre (See Oedipal Opera by Alan Shaw)], hosting art exhibitions by artist Henry Miller’s friend Jean Varda as well. Henry Miller even lived for a time with George Leite in his cabin at Big Sur. One noteable connection between Henry Miller and Aleister Crowley [and hence connecting Henry Miller to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO itself] is the Obelisk Press located in Paris, France which published books considered too risqué to be published in the States [and hence in violation of U.S. obscenity laws thereby inviting prosecution] by authors including Henry Miller [including Tropic of Cancer (1934 A.D.)] and by Aleister Crowley’s close associate, Frank Harris, as well as novels penned by Anais Nin and Theosophical Society-member James Joyce [it was at this time during the 1930s that Henry Miller and Anais Nin would themselves become aquainted with Aleister Crowley there in Paris which was also around the time Henry Miller was studying the magical arts under ceremonial magician Conrad Moricand]. The son of the founder of Obelisk Press would in turn found the Paris-based Olympia Press, publisher of William S. Borroughs’ then ‘obscene’ narrative, though tame by today’s standards, Naked Lunch [1959 A.D.] [William S. Burroughs would stand trial in the mid 1960s for violating obscenity laws with the publication of this novel. William S. Burroughs, Henry Miller, Allen Ginsberg, James Joyce and D.H. Lawrence are notable as all having had been prosecuted under U.S. obscenity law statutes for their lascivious literary output, they being subjected to obscenity trials for various literary works then deemed ‘obscene’]. A number of Beatnik poets would eventually take up residence in Big Sur near Henry Miller including amongst whom was Beatnik poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and fellow Beat poet Ruth Weiss [Weiss was mainly associated with The Cellar, a S.F./North Beach Beatnik hangout known for hosting poetry readings by Kenneth Rexroth and Lawrence Ferlinghetti]. Notably enough, Henry Miller had provided the Forward to G.I Gurdjieff’s disciple/personal “chair-carrier” Fritz Peter’s book Boyhood with Gurdjieff. Fritz Peter had been only 11 years old when he came to live at Gurdjieff’s Prieure in France. Gurdjieff, like Aleister Crowley, you 506

will find, provides yet another common denominator amongst the individuals within our story though magic itself pervades them all. The Gurdjieff Society is named in his honor) (Gurdjieff Societymember Frank Triest, husband of mystic artist Shirley Triest, was a nominally famous conscientious objector who during WWII had spent time in solitary confinement at the McNeil federal penitentiary for his own pacifist beliefs [think: Oxford Peace Pledge]. Pacifists [some 37,000 in total] were often sent to conscientious objectors’ camps in America for alternative wartime service [which largely brought them into contact with members of the pacifist Quaker group and ACLU lawyers and political writers as well]. As explained in A LIFE ON THE FIRST WAVES OF RADICAL BOHEMIANISM IN SAN FRANCISCO p.203: “…the [San Francisco] Renaissance [which group included WWII consciensious objector/poet William Everson] was the outgrowth of the artists [including Frank Triest’s pacifist friend, mystic artist Morris Graves] coming out of the CO [conscientious objector] camps and federal prison [conscientious objectors such as Frank Triest were commonly sentenced to federal prison] and coming here [to San Francisco] where Kenneth Rexroth had a literary and political circle,” a faction of the Quaker-founded Fellowship of Reconciliation pacifist group which met at Kenneth Rexroth’s Communist/anarchist Workmen's Circle Center, an anarchist mutual aid organization which primarily worked for the benefit of incoming Jewish immigrants, located on the corner of Steiner and Golden Gate Streets in San Francisco, CA [whose featured speakers included Paul Goodman. Additionally: “…there was this whole PBS (Public Broadcasting System) periphery of people, because Shirley and Frank (Triest) were close friends of Lew Hill (scion of a very wealthy family from Oklahoma). Lew Hill was involved in starting KPFA…” – Ibid pp.215-6. KPFA Pacifica radio was organized by Beatnik poets and had broadcasted shows hosted by a number of Beatnik poets along with a show hosted by the king of Beats himself, Alan Watts, all with funds provided by University of Chicago president Robert Hutchins (an associate of CIA Director Allen Dulles), later head of the Ford Foundation. Lewis Hill himself would be suicided in 1957 A.D.]. Many members of the Fellowship of Reconciliation pacifist group including Shirley Triest were additionally active in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament [on whose executive committee sat J.B. Priestly] in the 1950s and 1960s. It was upon the subject of the bohemian activities of Kenneth Rexroth’s pacifist anarchist group and 507

those individuals associated with it [including novelist Henry Miller] that Mildred Edie Brady’s Harper’s Magazine© article The New Cult of Sex and Anarchy was penned [Ibid p.20]. Indubitably: “…this led right into the Beats [the Beatnik practice of reading poetry to jazz accompaniment, which saw its public genesis at The Cellar]. The same people around there got into the Beats. But before the Beats was the San Francisco Renaissance… [Kenneth] Rexroth was the first to read poetry to music… Kenneth had a salon in his house [located at 250 Scott Street]…for poets, and that’s where the San Francisco Renaissance started.” – Ibid pp.206-7. This West Coast anarchist group included individuals [including Oxford Peace Pledger Audrey Goodfriend, New York-born anarchist founder of the alternative Walden School in San Francisco individuals and parents from which played prominent roles in the anti-nuclear and anti-Vietnam War movements] who were associated with the New York-based anarchist group connected to the celebrated anarchist Emma Goldman (S.F. itself was home to a sizable population of transplanted Italian anarchists including the family of Beat poet Philip Lamantia, a good friend of Beat poet Gerd Stern), Goldman being a known associate of presidential assassin Leon Czolgosz who had assassinated President William McKinley back in the day in 1901 A.D. It was Mildred Edie Brady’s article which drew New York anarchists Audrey Goodfriend and her free-love boyfriend David Koven to Rexroth’s anarchist pacifist group. Their daughter Diva Goodfriend-Koven would graduate Berkeley High School Class of 1968 and would play as a flutist in the San Francisco-based folk rock band Lamb [two of whose records appear on the Warner Bros.© music label— Lamb also appears in the film Fillmore: The Last Days along with The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and concert promoter/Church of Satanmember Bill Graham. Jefferson Airplane bandmember Spencer Dryden was a nephew of Charlie Chaplin through Chaplin’s halfbrother Wheeler Dryden, a London-born film director who worked closely with Charlie Chaplin in a filmmaking capacity]. Members of Audrey Goodfriend’s New York anarchist group who would resettle in San Francisco included novelist/newsman Michael Grieg, a friend of pacifist anarchist Beat poet/musician/artist/filmaker Weldon Kees [whose works include the poem The Fall of Magicians], himself a member of the Kenneth Rexroth anarchist pacifist group of San Francisco Rennaissance/Beat era poets [Weldon Kees, a diagnosed manic depressive and former columnist for The Nation (1948-1950 508

A.D.), notably enough worked at the Langley Porter Psychiatric Clinic at the University of California, San Francisco alongside former OSS agent/MKULTRA psychiatrist Gregory Bateson (quite possibly as an MKULTRA test subject), co-authored a book entitled Nonverbal Communication with Langley Porter psychiatrist Jurgen Ruesch and would provide the musical score for James Broughton’s film The Adventures of Jimmy (1951 A.D.) prior to his own subsequent ‘mysterious’ disappearance in 1955 A.D.]. Frank and Shirley Triest would themselves relocate to Berkeley, CA during the mystic 1960s where: “She served as this maternal guru figure for many young people. All the young people loved her. They’d call her up for astrological advice, that kind of stuff. She knew more about [Lamb band-member] Diva [Goodfriend-Koven] than I [her own mother] did…”) California as you recall was Theosophical Society mystic J. Krishnamurti’s own base of operations. Most notably inaugurated within this magic theatrical tradition was Republican President Ronald Reagan (that he had portrayed himself as a Christian Conservative as we shall soon discover was his greatest acting performance to date), the father of ‘Voodoo Economics’ himself, a former actor on the Hollywood scene in the land where Kabalists are truly kings. In fact, Ronald Reagan was himself initiated as an Honorary Scottish Rite Mason. As also must be noted, in the finest Babylonian magic tradition as we learn from the May 16, 1988 A.D. Time Magazine© article: “…the most closely guarded domestic secret of the Reagan White House” was “First Lady Nancy Reagan’s reliance on a San Francisco astrologer (a modern-day witch named Joan Quigley) to determine the timing of the President’s every public move.” God abhors such magic practices (See Deuteronomy 18:10-12), astrology included. Ronald Reagan is also known to have attended Bohemian Grove magic ceremonies where ceremonial magicians invoke the angel Azazel in a largely theatrical setting as part of long ancient magic-practicing traditions. As must be additionally noted, VicePresident during the Reagan years was former President George H.W. Bush (father of former President George W. Bush), who was also a Bohemian Club member/Bohemian Grove attendee, as was his presidential son. George H.W. Bush was former Director of Central Intelligence for the CIA (1976-1977 A.D.) and a 33° Freemason as well, with high-degree Freemasonry exhibiting a long tradition of 509

invoking and establishing contact with rebellious fallen angels through millennials old magic rituals and ceremonial magic invocations (Yes, Azazel’s group of fallen angels control this country through their network of human agents, the very definition of ‘Synarchy’). This association of practitioners of magic with secret services/Intelligence agencies cooperating with and being guided by the rebellious fallen angels hearkens back most famously to the days of the infamous British ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee (purportedly the original ‘007’ secret agent), a spy in the service of her mystical majesty Queen Elizabeth I. America’s Intelligence Agencies are modeled upon and were established in co-operation with British military Intelligence agencies. High-ranking American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agents who were attendees of Oxford University in Great Britain include Stansfield Turner, Director of Central Intelligence 1977–81 A.D. and R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence 1993–95 A.D. (Pertinent Quote: “In Great Britain also, fantastic rumors are spreading. British scientists, some people claim, have been contacted by a mysterious source through radio and have become involved in undercover activities at the request of extraterrestrials. Some of these scientists have disappeared. Through such contacts, so the story goes, the extraterrestrials hope to control our history. For what purpose? I myself have received letters from individuals claiming to be members of secret organizations whose headquarters are, quite literally, ‘out of this world.’ These correspondents informed me that the purpose of these groups is to prevent mankind from reaching other worlds in space. Of course, other ‘contactees’ make exactly opposite claims. The fact remains, however, that belief in nonhuman control of terrestrial destinies is as old as politics…To pursue this line further would involve reopening the entire problem of witchcraft, which is obviously beyond the purpose of this book. It is important, however, to note the continuum of beliefs, for the continuum leads directly from primitive magic, through mystical experience, the fairy-faith (particularly as promoted by former Society for Psychical Research [SPR] president Andrew Lang, author of a large number of books on the subject of fairy folklore), and religion, to modern flying saucers. The study of witchcraft has shown these subjects to be closely interrelated…” - Passport to Magonia: From Folklore to Flying Saucers, authored by former NASA scientist Jacques Vallee, 1969 A.D.; re-released as Passport to Magonia: On UFOs, Folklore and Parallel Worlds in 1993 A.D. Jacques Vallee now resides in 510

San Francisco, California. The NASA-associated astronomer/ufoologist Jacques Vallee who penned these very words openly expounded the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis which holds the gods of the ancients were in reality extraterrestrial beings, aka ‘ancient aliens’ (angels, it must be noted, fallen or otherwise, having come to our Earth from the New Earth are by definition aliens from another planet. In fact, the word alien is a cognate of the word angel [See Isaiah 13:5 which explains that: “They (God and His angels) come from a far country, from the end of heaven…”]). Jacques Vallee it is important to note also has Theosophical Society connections, specifically as a long-time guest lecturer for this organization. A photo of Jacques Vallee with Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey (along with the publisher of the book The Morning of the Magicians, note these associations) is included amongst the photos to be found in Anton LaVey’s biography, The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey. Jacques Vallee was, as Anton LaVey’s own personal secretary Michael A. Aquino points out in his history of the church entitled The Church of Satan p.210 [Fifth Edition], a member of The Church of Satan itself. Jacques Vallee was also an associate of Frank Malina and of his business partner, OTO lodge leader Jack Parsons, and as author John Carter notes: “It may have been (Frank) Malina who first introduced the late John (Jack) Parsons to the UFO-researcher…Jaques Vallee.” – p. 193 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons (1999 A.D.). Note well this direct connection between the OTO and the Church of Satan. At any rate, Jack Parsons and Frank Malina were both connected to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Jacques Vallee himself was a NASA employee as well. And Anton LaVey’s personal friend and fellow Church of Satan member Kenneth Anger was as a child Jack Parsons’ neighbor; Kenneth Anger’s father had even worked at the same Douglas Aircraft plant as the father of Jack Parsons’ wife Sarah [aka ‘Betty’] Northrup. Sarah Northrup would later elope with and marry Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard both of whom had been co-members of Jack Parson’s OTO magic lodge located in the residence within which they resided. Bear these facts in mind as you read along as all of these organizations are in fact quite intricately interconnected)

We may as we shall discover thank Theosophical Societylinked Intelligence agents and practitioners of magic for the antiChristian counter-culture movement in America and Europe during the virulent drug-fuelled mystic Sixties. Indeed, one of the most influential books to appear during this period of time emerged at the beginning of the decade, it becoming an international bestseller in America, Britain, and Europe, this book being, namely, the aforementioned The Morning of the Magicians authored by a pair of French alchemists named Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, the book sparking a newfound interest in all things magic and occult, its release exerting a discernable influence on shapers of popular culture on both sides of the Atlantic alike (all of whom we shall find had quite common associations). The alchemist Louis Pauwels was a known associate of Shaman/ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff and was associated as well with the mystic philosopher Aldous Huxley (both of whom had ties to OTO-member Aleister Crowley). Jacques Bergier was a Jewish Kabalist, physicist, alchemist and by his own admission served as an Allied French Intelligence agent during World War II; Bergier, a survivor of the Mauthausen Nazi concentration camp 511

wherein was also interned the original leader of the French Resistance, Georges Loustaunau-Lacau, had also been in contact with the occulttheme writer H.P. Lovecraft, he thusly being by definition a member of the ‘Lovecraft Circle,’ the importance of which fact will only later be appreciated as so many individuals therewith involved had Bohemian Club/Bohemian Grove associations as well. The 1960s and early 1970s most famously witnessed an occult revival in the counterculture movement in San Francisco, California, most notably in the section known as Haight-Ashbury. Following the release of the book The Morning of the Magicians, Eastern mystic practices including Zen Buddhism (‘Zen’ means ‘meditation’) and tantric yoga (an Eastern form of sex-magic) made their timely appearance on the American cultural scene. It was during this period the rock music mega-band The Beatles traveled to India to meet with Hindu spiritual teacher Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, leader of the TM (Transcendental Meditation) Movement. At this time ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley’s face (as well as Theosophical Societymember Carl Jung, the philosopher Aldous Huxley and no less than three Hindu gurus including Paramahansa Yogananda, founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship in Hollywood) appears on the cover of The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (issued in 1967 A.D.). The Rolling Stones also at this time introduced Sympathy for the Devil, a decidedly Sufi/Gnostic/Theosophical Society-style treatment of Christianity’s age old adversary. Heavy Metal as a music genre also enters the music mainstream in this decade celebrating all things devil-ish. Occult-based New Age authors also become overnight best sellers. During the days of this entirely concerted occult resurgence familiar old names are re-introduced, amongst which group were the writings of Theosophical Society-founder H.P. Blavatsky, Rudolph Steiner (a former member of the German lodge of the Theosophical Society), H.P. Lovecraft and Russian ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff. Theosophical Society-founder H.P. Blavatsky herself was a major 1960s counterculture icon. In a most revealing way, a 1970 A.D. article by sci-fi author Kurt Vonnegut in McCall’s Magazine© hails Madame Blavatsky as the ‘Founding Mother of the Occult in America’ (McCall’s being headed by McCall’s Corporation president Marvin Pierce, father of George H.W. Bush’s wife, Barbara). The list of occult associations in ’60s and ’70s American popular culture goes on and on and on including the pop-phenomenon J.R.R. Tolkien-inspired Dungeon’s and Dragons© fantasy role-playing game 512

replete with mystical worlds, demons and occult magic themes. As mass-murderer Charles Manson recounted concerning his own mystical experience as a resident of 1960’s Haight-Ashbury: “…in the Haight…The occult was practiced almost as openly as socially acceptable religions… Devil worship, witchcraft, sex orgies and perversion were everyday occurrences. A group of people might shed a tear one day over the slight injury of an animal, when the night before they had participated in some weird blood-letting ritual (read: had participated in a Satanic Black Magic animal sacrifice).” - Manson: In His Own Words by Nuel Emmons, 1986 A.D. Concerning the mystic Sixties, OTO-member Gary Lachmann (aka Gary Valentine from the rock music group Blondie) explains in Turn Off Your Mind (2001 A.D.): “…in 1960s France a literary time bomb exploded. It was called Morning of the Magicians by two French alchemists, Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier. The publishers Gallimard had expected a modest success but by the end of the decade the mayflower English language paperback alone had sold 1 million copies… within weeks of its publication, The Morning of the Magicians had both banks of the Seine (the Seine River in France which cleaves its capitol city Paris, long an international center of Theosophy and magic, in twain) talking about alchemy, extraterrestrials, lost civilizations, esotericism, Charles Fort, secret societies, higher states (altered-states) of consciousness and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (the Golden Dawn being the black-magic practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society itself)… It was a magical revolution—a revival of the occult (and as Gary Lachman therein illumines: “Few books that followed in the sixties occult revival weren’t indebted to it in some way.”). Previously rejected and ridiculed beliefs took centre stage, reaching the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, saturating the hippies and flower power (in the form of what has been described as ‘psychedelic Satanism’), hitting the big screen with Rosemary’s Baby [a film that featured (the Church of Satan founder) Anton Le Vey in cameo role as Satan] (“LaVey has said Rosemary’s Baby ‘did for the Church of Satan what The Birth of a Nation did for the Ku Klux Klan [it drawing many members to its ranks], complete with [Church of Satan] recruiting posters in the lobby’ [of the theatres in which it was shown].” – The Church of Satan: A Brief History, Barton 2003 A.D.) and the bookshelves with (J.R.R. Tolkien’s) Lord of the Rings. The Tarot, I Ching (also known as The Book of Changes which is in itself a diviner’s tool), astrology, Kabbala, yogis, witchcraft, UFOs, Aleister Crowley (Aleister Crowley, 513

creator of the OTO magical order, was a one-time member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the magic-practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society), yin-yang and The Tibetan Book of the Dead became the common currency they are today.” – Excerpted from the highly-recommended Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachmann, 2001 A.D.

The film Rosemary’s Baby, based upon a novel by sci-fi writer Ira Levin, and starring Frank Sinatra’s wife Mia Farrow (Sinatra’s colleague Sammy Davis Jr. was a Church of Satan member as the reader shall discover), was a 1968 A.D. Hollywood occult-subject offering by Jewish film director Roman Polanski which in itself had sparked an uptick of interest in the occult (Polanski also had previously written and directed a movie entitled When Angels Fall [1959 A.D.]). The year following the movie’s release, Roman Polanski’s pregnant wife, a real life OTO witch named Sharon Tate, was murdered by the OTO-associated mass-murderer Charles Manson and his infamous band of ‘useful idiots’ collectively known as the Manson Family (certain murderous members of the Manson Family were in fact as the reader shall learn attendees of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan). Curiously enough, Anton LaVey (who incidently enough also lived in San Francisco, CA where he would establish his Church of Satan in 1966 A.D., an occult organization whose membership ranks included a number of members of U.S. Army Intelligence including one Michael A. Aquino) also played a character known as His Satanic Majesty (this being a common Freemasonic moniker for the devil) in underground-filmmaker and OTO/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger’s horrific 11 minute film entitled Invocation of My Demon Brother [1969 A.D.] (the magical “invocation” of one’s ‘Demon Brother’ involves sadomasochistic sexmagic rituals as practiced within Kenneth Anger’s Brotherhood of Lucifer magic group [See p.240 The Haight-Ashbury: A History], a magic group which proves to be rather elusive as to historical details [though it appears to date to the early part of the 1950s A.D.] but which had definite Straight Theater associations [See the Brotherhood of Lucifer Straight Theater handbill in Appendix I and pp.239-240 The Haight: A History by Charles Perry]. I assume the Brotherhood of Lucifer magic group included all of the individuals who appear in the film Invocation of My Demon Brother including Church of Satanfounder Anton LaVey, Beatnik poet Leonore Kandell, Kandell’s Hell’s Angels boyfriend Billy Fritsch and Church of Satan attendee/Manson 514

Family-member Bobby Beausoleil as the film itself is a documentary film recording a real life Brotherhood of Lucifer magic ritual the central rite of which is known as the ‘Rite of the Averse Pentagram’ whereby: “…the magician attained the ‘knowledge’ of his demonic kin…” [See Invocation of the Demon-Brother: A Sadeo-Sex Magical Working by Anastasius 217]) featuring music specially composed by Rolling Stones band-member Mick Jagger (as a testament to their Satanic inclinations, The Rolling Stones themselves had issued an album entitled Their Satanic Majesties Request in 1967 A.D.). Kenneth Anger, a member of Anton LaVey’s original ‘Magic Circle’ and at its founding a full-fledged member of LaVey’s Church of Satan, and as we shall see a member of The Rolling Stones band-members inner-circle of friends as well, had also begun production of another film entitled Lucifer Rising in 1966 A.D. (complete with magic circle and the appearance of a disk/UFO/demon’s cherub at the end of invocation. Most of Kenneth Anger’s films are basically real-time documentaries of the magic rituals he as an OTO member has performed [and like many ‘underground’ films of the day he often employs subliminal messaging techniques long since forbidden by law]. In fact, Kenneth Anger’s film Lucifer Rising is widely considered to be as we learn from Bill Landis in his book Anger pp.234-235: “…a religious movie…The film vividly illustrates a secretive religion, Thelema (as practiced by the OTO). So precise is Anger’s imagery that he utilized the late Gerald York (a known British Intelligence agent), one of Britain’s leading authorities on Crowley and an associate of (British spy) Aleister (Crowley) himself, as Thelemic consultant (members of The Process Church appear in this film as well).” As Kenneth Anger himself explained in a Soho Weekly News interview concerning his film Lucifer Rising: “I’m a pagan and the film is a real invocation of Lucifer… The film contained real black magicians, a real ceremony, real altars, real human blood, and a real magic circle consecrated with blood and cum” [Ibid p.237]. Such is exemplary of OTO black magic sex-magic rituals. And the Lucifer he therein invokes is, as Anger has noted: “…the rebel angel behind what’s happening in the world today whose message is that the key of joy is disobedience…” And do as thou wilt is the whole of their law). The film Lucifer Rising includes a musical composition composed by a young musician named Bobby Beausoleil who had resided with Kenneth Anger for a time in his rented home in San Francisco (See p.49 The Family. The pair resided at the William 515

Westerfeld House, aka the Russian Embassy. It was within the walls of the Russian Embassy that much of Anger’s Invocation of My Demon Brother was filmed [which film also includes footage of Hell’s Angels members taken by Kenneth Anger at a Rolling Stones’ concert in England], in whose exulted towered high-place Anton LaVey was known to perform ceremonial magic rituals, ceremonies no doubt including as evidenced by this film, Brotherhood of Lucifer ‘Demon Brother’ invocations as Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey is one of the “real black magicians” who is featured in this film conducting a “real” black magic ceremony conducted by this group there at the Russian Embassy). Also known to have been associated with the Russian Embassy at this time were Beat poet Lenore Kandel, singer Janis Joplin [along with Joplin’s band, Big Brother and the Holding Company** due to their association with band manager Chet Helm’s Family Dog*** organization which also headquarted itself there in the Russian Embassy], The Grateful Dead, a band which had performed at a number of Family Dog/Avalon Ballroom concerts, and everybody’s favorite friend, the Merry Prankster Ken Kesey. The aforementioned Bobby Beausoleil, a known Church of Satan attendee, is more famously known for murdering Gary Hinman under Charlie Manson’s orders in 1969 A.D. (upon moving from the communal halls of the Russian Embassy after a fallout with Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger, fellow Church of Satan attendee Bobby Beausoleil would from there take up residence with the Manson Family itself at its Spahn Ranch commune where fellow Church of Satan attendee Susan Atkins resided as well). Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page also makes a brief appearance in Kenneth Anger’s Invocation of My Demon Brother magic ritual (Jimmy Page owned Aleister Crowley’s home [Boleskine House on the shores of Loch Ness, in Scotland with whom and where Kenneth Anger was also known to have also resided] and with it one of the world’s largest collection of all things Crowley-ana. During the early 1970s Jimmy Page had even opened an occult bookshop [occult bookshops are centers of occult activities] and publishing house called The Equinox Booksellers and Publishers named after Aleister Crowley’s magic journal, The Equinox [Page’s ZoSo symbol as he explains in a Jan. 2008 Guitar World© interview was itself designed as a magick talisman [which sigil he adopted as found on p.201 of the Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils by Fred Gettings which is the sigil of the horned god Saturn, a Roman god who represented the fallen angel Azazel]). It must be 516

noted that on March 20, 2012 A.D. Jimmy Page released a limited edition vinyl album entitled Lucifer Rising and Other Sound Tracks containing the song he composed for Kenneth Anger’s film, a release timed to coincide with the onset of the Spring Equinox, a major pagan holy day celebrated by witches and sorcerers alike including Kenneth Anger and his good friend Jimmy Page. (*** Besides hosting concerts by nearly every major band of its day, Chet Helms and his Family Dog Productions also hosted lectures by Alan Watts, Timothy Leary, Stephen Gaskin and Allen Ginsberg and Chet Helms himself links to the Diggers group, to Emmett Grogan, Ken Kesey, Jack Kerouac, Gary Snyder, Lawrence Ferlingetti, Michael McClure, Neal Cassady and Kenneth Rexroth. Chet Helms’ sometime business partner, fellow concert promoter Bill Graham [one-time manager of the San Francisco Mime Troupe], was himself a known Church of Satan member) (**Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company [formed in 1965 A.D.] connect to the Topanga Canyon magic/music scene [more on this subject later] through band members James Gurley and Peter Albin. James Gurley and Peter Albin had played with former Topanga Canyon resident musician J.P. Pickens at the Coffee Gallery coffee house located at 1353 Grant St. in the North Beach area of San Francisco situated just down the street from the San Francisco Art Institute, ground zero for the Beatnik movement and the site of many Beatnik poetry readings. J.P. Pickens played at the Coffee Gallery alongside of amongst others Kabalist scholar/poet/jazz musician David Meltzer, one of the key Beatnik poets of the era [Beatnik poetry being typically recited to jazz accompaniment], a member [along with Michael McClure] of Kabalist artist Wallace Berman’s Semina circle of friends which included Jack Parson’s widow Marjorie Cameron, a friend of Kenneth Anger (Marjorie Cameron appears in Kenneth Anger’s 1954 A.D. film entitled Inaugeration of the Pleasure Dome). This venue would also launch the career of songstress Janis Joplin in 1963 A.D. In 1969 A.D. J.P. Pickens would take up residence in a Diggers Haight-Ashbury commune [See Sleeping Where I Fall by Peter Coyote] and in 1973 A.D. would die from a fall from a hotel window while attempting to elude police intent on arresting him for the sale of illegal narcotics. Janis Joplin herself would die in 1970 A.D. from an overdose of heroine at the age of 27) Kenneth Anger had first met The Rolling Stones band members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (both of whom were attendees of 517

Roman Polanski’s and Manson Family murder victim Sharon Tate’s wedding in 1968 A.D.) and their girlfriends Marianne Faithfull (when singer/songwriter Marianne Faithfull married artist John Dunbar in 1965 A.D., they spent their honeymoon in Paris with Beatnik poets Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso**) and Anita Pallenberg in London in 1967 A.D. (as Tony Sanchez, a close friend of the Rolling Stones’ band members so elucidates in Up And Down With The Rolling Stones’, Anita Pallenberg was also “obsessed with black magic” which as you can see is a quite common thread). The Rolling Stones band members Keith Richards and Brian Jones were also witches along with Keith Richard’s girlfriend Anita Pallenberg. And Mick Jagger was, significantly enough, a friend of LSD enthusiast Allen Ginsberg and was himself a product of the Fabian Society’s London School of Economics. The Fabian Society is composed of members of the Theosophical Society and members of its own magic-practicing inner circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The OTO itself is closely associated with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (** Gregory Corso, a member along with Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs of the Beat poets’ inner circle, has a very interesting background—Corso had been incarcerated for a time in Clinton State Prison, in Dannemora, New York. In fact: “Corso was jailed in the very cell just months before vacated by Charles "Lucky" Luciano... Luciano was, from prison, cooperating with the U.S. Government’s wartime effort [during WWII], providing Mafia aid in policing the New York waterfront (working through the N.Y. Office of Naval Intelligence in what was known as Operation Underworld), and later helping (the WWII Allied war effort) in Naples, Italy through his control of the Camorra [gang] (an Italian organization founded in the early 19th Century by former officials of the Kingdom of Naples which partnered with the Carbonari following the failure of the Carbonari’s Revolution of 1848 in Italy)...The Mafia wing of Clinton was under the direction of inmate Charles "Lucky" Luciano Mafia Capo di Tutti Capos, the character on which Mario Puzo and Francis (Ford) Coppola based "The Godfather"... Corso fell under the protection of powerful Mafioso inmates, and became something of a mascot...” – Wikipedia: Gregory Corso. Or something of a Mafia partner-in-crime if one prefers. Upon his release from prison, Gregory Corso first heads to Greenwich Village, then studies at Harvard University, and later hooks up with Allen Ginsberg whereupon the two relocate to San Francisco (this all taking place at the height of the Beatnik period): “After Ginsberg’s 518

infamous “Howl” Six Gallery (which took place on Oct. 7, 1955 A.D.; the Six Gallery was located at 3119 Fillmore Street in San Francisco, Fillmore Street being home to many famous jazz clubs of the 1940s to 50s era, organizations with which he himself was associated. Writers Henry Miller, Aldous Huxley and Ben Hecht are also all inter-connected in that they shared the same literary agent, one Dorris Halsey), Ginsberg and Corso hitchhiked from San Francisco, visiting Henry Miller in Big Sur (Big Sur would later become the location of the Esalen Institute; Allen Ginsberg, Michael McClure and Kenneth Rexroth [Rexroth led one of the very first workshops there at Esalen Institute] have all led poetry readings/workshops at Esalen Institute. Henry Miller, who lived in a cabin nearby, was a frequent visitor to the Esalen Institute as well), and stopped off in Los Angeles. As guests of [Henry Miller’s former lover] Anaïs Nin [Nin had previously appeared in Kenneth Anger’s 1954 A.D. film Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome] and [Jewish] writer Lawrence Lipton [who “During the 1920s…associated with Chicago writers...Sherwood Anderson…Ben Hecht, and Carl Sandburg.” – Wikipedia: Lawrence Lipton. The Beat poet/author Lawrence Lipton later appears as the character ‘King of the Beats’ in the 1960 A.D. film entitled The Hypnotic Eye alongside fellow Beatnik Eric "Big Daddy" Nord and actress Allison Hayes who stars in a number of film director Roger Corman’s films], Corso and Ginsberg gave a reading to a gathering of LA literati [which gathering no doubt included no small percentage of the Sampson De Brier magic crowd of which the astrologer Anaïs Nin, along with Kenneth Anger, was herself at this time associated]... Corso and Ginsberg then hitchhiked to Mexico City to visit [Jack] Kerouac... After a threeweek stay in Mexico City, Ginsberg left, and Corso waited for a plane ticket. His lover, Hope Savage, convinced (?) her father, mayor of Charleston, S.C. (Charleston being home to the Carbonariassociated Conderate General Albert Pike’s Freemasonic Grand Council), to send Corso a plane ticket to Washington, D.C. Corso had been invited by Library of Congress (as must be noted, the CIA before the computer-age largely employed the resources afforded by the Library of Congress as an aid for CIA analysts in their extensive fact-finding efforts) poet (precursor to U.S. Poet Laureate) Randall Jarrell (Jarrell was a former teacher at the Oxford Universityassociated Sarah Lawrence College. It was at Sarah Larence College that Joseph Campbell taught for 38 years) and his wife Mary, to live 519

with them, and become Jarrell’s poetic protege.” – Wikipedia: Gregory Corso. Not your average ex-con success story by any means. This is the stuff Illuminati dreams are made of. Note well these associations. Charles Manson had himself made the acquaintance of ‘Lucky’ Luciano’s close associate Frank Costello with whom he had often shared a lunch table during his stay at the Federal Reformatory in Chillicothe, Ohio [See p.48 Manson: In His Own Words by Nuel Emmons, 1986 A.D.]; one begins to see a pattern developing) Hallucinogenic drugs such as mescaline and LSD played an intregal role during the Beatnik 1950s and the psychedelic 1960s as did associated though less documented magic practices including Shamanism itself (in the words of Charles Musѐs, the founder of a Shamanic movement known as the Lion Path who was himself an associate of Joseph Campbell: “The point of shamanism is…the development of communication with a community of higher than human beings…”). The way in which the Shamanic use of hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD opens one’s mind to demonic influence and to other such interrelated metaphysical phenomena such as automatic-writing is exemplified by the following literary selection: “(Rolling Stones band-member) Brian (Jones) and (his girlfriend) Anita (Pallenberg)…took up astrology and magic. Eventually they were given some acid (LSD) by one of their sycophants… That moment marked the peak (as psychologist/ceremonial magician Israel Regardie explains in his book Ceremonial Magic p.71, in Jungian terminology, the ‘peak experience’ signals ones ultimate attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel, ones successful submission to the overshadowing Higher Self/Higher Genius [this also being known as occult Illumination]. Esalen Institute psychiatrist-in-residence Abraham Maslow [who would serve as American Psychological Association (APA) president in 1968 A.D.] also employs this term to describe the drug-induced mystical experience in his book Religions, Values, and Peak Experiences [1964 A.D.]. As Golden Dawn psychologist Israel Regardie relates concerning Esalen Institute psychologists/psychiatrists such as Abraham Maslow and and his colleague Timothy Leary in his 1968 A.D. book Roll Away the Stone itself penned on the subject of drugs such as LSD as a means for achieving mystical experience: “A new school of psychologists is developing currently. They regard the mystical experience as a healthy development in the onward growth of 520

the psyche… Instead of the familiar phrase the "religious" or "mystical" experience, they have coined a new phrase, the "peak" experience to refer to the same inner phenomenon.”)… On LSD, the door to the vault of his mind swung open (note The Doors of Perception imagery), he told me, and he was able to write songs and play guitar the way he had always dreamed… ‘It’s as though there are all sorts of amazing songs floating around in my head that I can’t get out,’ Brian told me once. ‘Acid [LSD] lets it all out. I hardly even know I’m writing when I’m on a trip [while high on LSD], yet the next day I find I’ve written pages of the most amazing numbers.’” – pp. 2627 Up and Down with the Rolling Stones. Brian Jones had indeed succeeded in channeling his enigmatic Muse. Fellow Rolling Stones band-members Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, both practitioners of magic as well, reported similar LSD experiences: “Keith dropped acid with Mick, and the trip marked an alliance between them… Keith and Mick were writing with a brilliance and confidence they had never felt before” (Ibid p.29). It is at this point in time that their music takes on a more sinister and darker character. Even the song which launched The Rolling Stones “into global fame” was written by Keith Richards in the following mystical manner: “I wrote ‘Satisfaction’ in my sleep. I had no idea I’d written it… The miracle being that I looked at the cassette player that morning and I knew I’d put a brand-new tape in the previous night, and I saw it was at the end. Then I pushed rewind and there was ‘Satisfaction’” (See Life p.176). Such automatic musical compositions do indeed belong to the ‘automatic-writing’ category. As Paul McCartney would similarly relate to talk show host Larry King during an interview conducted on June 12, 2001 A.D.: “The music to ‘Yesterday’ came in a dream. The tune just came complete. You have to believe in magic. I can’t read or write music.” In his autobiography Spiritualist/Composer Paul Bowles describes a cantata (by definition a musical composition with a religious theme, in this case Sufic and entirely ritualistic in nature) which he composed in this wise: “…the cantata…was called Par le Droit, a hermetic (by definition ‘involving alchemy or magic’) reference to my preoccupation in dreams… Perhaps the title Dream Cantata would have been more apposite, inasmuch as several sections of the work were composed in detail while I slept.” – p.165 Without Stopping by Paul Bowles, 1972 A.D. (This process is in reality a not uncommon occult occurrence and is actually indicative of an Overshadowed state. As is noted in Brad Steiger’s book Revelation: 521

The Divine Fire: “Most great composers receive inspiration while asleep” (indeed, as we learn from The Bible in Job 4:12-21, information is often revealed to in-tune humans by spirits which come to them in a ‘night vision,’ by way of “visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men” [See also Daniel 2:19 (“Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision”), Daniel 7:7,13, Acts 16:9, Acts 18:9]. In Job 33:14-16 it is therein revealed: “For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction” [See also Genesis 20:3,6, Genesis 31:10-11,34, Genesis 46:2 and Matthew 2:12]. As related in Matthew 2:13, angels/spirits also have this ability, it revealing how: “…an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream” giving Joseph specific instructions which he was then expected to follow [See also Matthew 2:19]. Indeed, as noted by author Daniel DeFoe [himself a known British spy] in A Compleat System of Magic [1729 A.D.] p.118: “Dream and Midnight Vision...is the Method by which God himself often used to reveal himself to the Prophets and other of his most eminent Servants of old... the Devil...is cunning enough to Imitate all Those Methods of Access to the Minds of Man...which his Maker has used for like Communications...” Scientists even cite cases of scientific breakthroughs which have entirely come to them in dreams, famous cases in point being physicist Albert Einstein whose own Theory of Relativity** had been inspired by a dream as well as atomic physicist Neils Bohr’s model of the atomic structure of the atom which likewise came to him in his sleep. It is also in dreams that ‘The Sleeping Prophet’ Edgar Cayce received his prophetic utterances though as William J. Petersen keenly notes concerning Cayce’s own prophecies in his exposѐ Those Curious New Cults: “Not everything that you say in your sleep is inspired by God… it can come from a demonic source.” And indeed, the word ‘nightmare’ itself was originally coined to define the nocturnal hauntings of evil spirits during sleep. Even Western medicine is said to have been established by the cult followers of Asklepios, the Greek ‘god’ of healing in the following mystical manner: “…the god of healing [Asklepios] would reveal remedies to his believers during sleep… A remarkable feature of this Asklepian dreaming is that it formed the basis for medical science among the Greeks. After each successful cure, the case history together with the god’s prescription was recorded in writing or carved upon the temple walls. As the 522

centuries passed, a reliable archive was created of significant therapeutic dreams. The great physician Hippocrates is said to have been indebted for his knowledge largely to the temple records of Cos, his native city.” – p.84 The History of Magic by Surrealist automatist artist Kurt Seligmann). (** The Theory of Relativity itself is an occult concept wholly based in magic: “‘Space,’ ‘extension,’ ‘duration’ are relative. Their qualities change according to our standard of measurement and according to our mode of perception… As our conception of space is only relative, so is our conception of time.” – pp.73-74 Magic, White and Black by Franz Hartmann, 1886 A.D.)

Thomas Mann’s novel Doktor Faustus (1947 A.D.) is itself the tale of a composer who makes a deal with the devil, his soul in exchange for 24 years creative genius (and seeing as Paul Bowles was a friend of Thomas Mann’s daughter, Erika Mann, and of his son, the OSS agent Golo Mann, perhaps this story contains a kernal of truth wrapped in the guise of fiction). A multitude of musicians do in fact concede to making such a Faustian deal with the devil—Neil Young admits to bartering his own soul for artistic success, and the Crowleyite heavy metal band Black Sabbath has even released an album entitled We Sold Our Souls for Rock and Roll [Pertinent Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne Quote: “I’ve got many, many demons that affect me on many, many levels.” Pertinent Bill Ward quote: “I’ve always considered that there was some way where we (Black Sabbath) were able to channel energy, and that energy was able to be, from another source, if you like, like a higher power or something, that was actually doing the work.”]. These are but a few of multitudinous examples, Ke$ha (See her song Dancing with the Devil) among them. There are even internet sites where one may go to sell your soul for an insignificant trifling sum. A man would be remiss to take such deals lightly, despising his own Biblical birthright. Esau as we learn from The Bible in Genesis Chapter 25 would barter his own blessed birthright for a mere piece of bread and a pot full of lentils. Convicted mass murderer Charles Manson, whose nickname was ‘The Wizard,’ he being heavily into black magic and witchcraft, was himself a friend of musician Neil Young and of Young’s own friend Dennis Wilson, founding member of and drummer for the music group The Beach Boys—Dennis Wilson had at one point even hosted members of the murderous Manson Family in his home. As Manson Family-member Susan Atkins explains in her book Child of Satan, Child of God: “…we spent a lot of time at Dennis’ house on Sunset 523

Boulevard (in Hollywood, Los Angeles). Large numbers of us (Manson Family-members) lived there for irregular, but sometimes lengthly, periods.” Tex Watson, Charles Manson’s very own ‘right hand man,’ in his biography, Will You Die for Me? offers up a description of the scene at the home of Dennis Wilson: “People came and went, a peculiar mix of young dropouts like me, drug dealers, and people in the entertainment business. It was a strange time in Hollywood. It had become chic to play the hippie game, and the children of the big stars (including Angela Lansbury’s daughter Didi Lansbury who was a member of the Manson Family) partied with gurus like Dean (Moorehouse) and Charlie (Manson) and listened to them and bought drugs from them and took hippie kids to bed and let them drive their expensive cars and crash in their Bel Air mansions (mansions quite likely including OTO witch/film actress Sharon Tate’s very own Bel Air home. To this list of movie star’s children must be added the daughter of Rat Pack member Dean Martin. As we learn from Ed Sanders in The Process: “[Charles] Manson…once gave Dean Martin’s daughter a ring at Dennis Wilson’s [Malibu] beachhouse.” Dennis Wilson’s brother, Carl Wilson, who like Dennis was also a member of The Beach Boys, would in 1987 A.D. marry Dean Martin’s daughter Gina Martin). Everyone felt aware and free…life was one big party. Rock musicians and hopeful singers like Charlie (Manson), actors and hopeful actors, girls who didn’t do anything, producers like Terry Melcher (Doris Day’s son) (it was Terry Melcher who resided with his mother Doris Day in Malibu who would pen The Beach Boys’ megahit, Kokomo), talent people, managers like Gregg Jakobson (Gregg Jakobson, a close friend of Dennis Wilson, was also a friend of Charles Manson), and stars’ children would all come over to the house and it would be a drug circus. Charlie (Manson) always managed to show up for the parties (and this by invitation).” - Will You Die for Me? As Charles Manson explains it: “We (Manson and his group of girls) were invited to private parties in Beverly Hills, Malibu (Malibu is located at the base of Topanga Canyon) and other exclusive areas. A lot of the movie people shot up heroine, smoked opium, free-based and snorted cocaine.” – p.132 Manson in His Own Words. And Charles Manson was one of their drug suppliers. It was in fact there at Dennis Wilson’s house where the Manson Family-member and convicted murderer Tex Watson had first fatefully met his partner-in-crime Charles Manson. And it was Dennis Wilson’s house which allegedly witnessed the birth of the Manson Family itself. According to the San Francisco 524

Chronicle’s Senior Pop Music Correspondent Joel Selvin, Dennis Wilson once divulged to him one of his most deepest darkest secrets, that in fact: “Me (Dennis Wilson) and Charlie (Manson)…we founded the Family” (See Joel Selvin on Dennis Wilson, the Beach Boys' Puck, San Francisco Chronicle, October 15, 2010 A.D.). OTOmember/musician Gary Lachman in his book Turn Off Your Mind pp.320-321 explains that the goings-on at Dennis Wilson’s house had been organized as a modern day Hell Fire Club (and quite likely it served as a fully functioning OTO lodge) formed by Dennis Wilson, Terry Melcher (Terry Melcher’s mother, the actress Doris Day, was a friend of OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood) and Gregg Jakobson: “With his friends, producer Terry Melcher and talent scout Gregg Jakobson, (Dennis) Wilson had formed an LA-style Hell Fire Club, called the Golden Penatrators… With the Manson girls, Wilson hit the jackpot. Manson organized his orgies like a Dionysian tableau vivant (Dionysian magic practices entailed the use of wine and drugs in an effort to induce the spirits’ control of mind and body and included of course orgiastic sex-magic rituals), choreographing the activities with meticulous precision. The Wizard (this was Manson’s nickname) would hand out (hallucinogenic/entheogenic) drugs—acid (LSD), (magic)mushrooms, mescaline, whatever was on hand… It is unclear how many names on the LA music scene participated in Manson’s priapic (read: black magick sex-magic) rites—for a while both (Dennis) Wilson’s Brentwood mansion and the ghostly Spahn Ranch (home to the Manson Family commune) had a reputation as heavy raves (as did the Topanga Canyon Spiral Staircase located near Dennis Wilson’s Malibu beach house, as we shall later discover, as Manson himself explains in Manson in His Own Words). After the (Manson Family) killings, roadie Phil Kaufman (who got his start in the business working with The Rolling Stones), friend of the Flying Burritos Brothers and Rolling Stones (both of which bands performed at the Altamont Free Concert; Flying Burritos Brothers band-member Gram Parsons was a close friend of The Rolling Stones’ band members [Gram Parsons’ sister Avis as we learn from The Mammoth Book of Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll p.187 worked for American psychic Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment foundation in Virginia Beach, VA, (Cayce himself had multiple Theosophical Society associations) home to several large U.S. military/naval bases—famous clients of the celebrated clairvoyant 525

(one of MKULTRAs favorite topics of study) and glorified medium Edgar Cayce include U.S. President Woodrow Wilson (any relation to Dennis Wilson?), Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison and composers Irving Berlin and George Gershwin (See Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet). Central to Cayce’s own teachings is a belief in reincarnation]. And this was not the only connection between The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys—The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys [amongst others] performed together on the 1964 A.D. T.A.M.I. Show [an AIP release from executive producer Roger Corman in association with cinematographer Floyd Crosby whose son David Crosby often played music with Charlie Manson’s friend Neil Young. Neil Young’s band Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young would play at Altamont Free Concert as well. Floyd Crosby also worked with Roger Corman’s film producer brother Gene Corman whose stable of films includes the 1965 A.D. beach party classic The Girls on the Beach featuring Dennis Wilson and The Beach Boys] film release filmed at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium [a free concert event] on October 28 and 29, 1964 A.D.), ex-cell mate of Manson (Phil Kaufman and Charles Manson had been cell-mates at the Federal Correctional Institution on Terminal Island) and later producer of his infamous Lie album (formally Lie: The Love and Terror Cult including Manson’s song ‘Cease to Exist’ [‘Cease to Exist’ is a Scientology term (See ‘unmock’)] which had been previously recorded by The Beach Boys under the name ‘Never Learn Not to Love’ released on The Beach Boys’ album 20/20 in 1969 A.D., their final album on the Capitol Records© record label. In 1969 A.D., the year of the Manson Family murders, The Beach Boys would sign a Warner Bros.©/Reprise Records contract), reckoned that he had slept with every one of the murderesses.” Included amongst the crowd which frequented Dennis Wilson’s house was Wilson’s musician friend Neil Young (Neil Young was also a close friend of Dean Stockwell—Stockwell had himself been a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO Lodge [Dean Stockwell would design the artwork for Neil Young’s American Stars'n'Bars (1977 A.D. Warner Bros.©’ Reprise Records) album cover]; Neil Young was also a friend of actor Dennis Hopper [this trio would at a later date team up to create the 1982 A.D. apocalyptic cult-classic comedy film Human Highway [this film was distributed by WEA, another name for the Warner Music Group©]. Dennis Hopper, the son of OTO-member Jay Hopper, was a friend of Jack Parson’s magicpracticing neighbor/OTO-member/The Rolling Stones entourage inner526

circle member Kenneth Anger [an intimate friend of Manson Family member/musician/fellow Church of Satan-attendee Bobby Beausoleil], and Dennis Hopper’s own father, Jay Hopper, along with Dean Stockwell, had been a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge. I assume Stockwell, Hopper and Anger all frequented Dennis Wilson’s house as well, with Dennis Wilson’s house functioning as a full-fledged OTO lodge]; Neil Young performed at the Altamont Free Concert with his band Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young): “Neil Young…recalled sharing a couch with (Manson Family ‘murderesses’) Linda Kasabian and Patricia Krenwinkel, singing a song, at Dennis’s (Dennis Wilson’s) house… as Young remarked, ‘A lot of pretty well-known musicians around LA knew him [Charlie] (Manson), though they’d probably deny it now’” (See Turn Off Your Mind p.323. Indeed: “In the sixties L.A. rock scene everybody knew everybody. The Doors, the Byrds, the Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Love, the Mothers of Invention, the Mamas and Papas, etc: all the stars and their satellites [including Charles Manson] hung out with each other.” - Charles Manson: Death Metal by David Comfort). The Wiccan witch Doreen Valiente described these Dionysian goings-on in even greater detail: “…(Charles Manson) presided over rites of orgiastic sex. The eye-witness descriptions given of these show that he did indeed have some knowledge of magical sex rituals. He was described as standing in the centre of a (magic) circle of men and girls. When he signaled the rite to commence, the girls would surround him, kissing his feet and treating him as an incarnate god (the traditional role played by the high-priest in a coven of witches). Meanwhile, the men sat back in meditation, while the drugs they were taking took effect. When Manson judged the time was right, all joined in communal (orgiastic) sexual acts, passing around the circle from one partner to another until they were too exhausted to continue. These (sex-magic) practices were supposed to raise magical power...” – pp. 280-281 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present, 1973 A.D. Such ritualistic orgiastic sex-magic practices were indeed par for the magical course: “In Europe the witch’s Sabbaths were the outstanding example of sexual depravity in connection with sorcery. Participants divested themselves of their clothing, and yielded themselves to every conceivable lustful impulse, this condition being further induced by the drug-like properties of the ointments and oils which were first smeared on the body.” - The Black Art p.161 by Rollo Ahmed, 1936 A.D. Charles Manson was essentially high-priest of his very own witch’s coven, a ‘psychedelic Satanist’ of sorts: “According to Linda 527

Kasabian’s (courtroom) testimony, the men of Manson’s clan called themselves witches, and ‘Charlie called all the girls witches’” (See p.281 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present). It is also said Charles Manson was a member of the Solar Lodge OTO in which Neil Young’s friend Dean Stockwell was also known to have been a member—it would seem this group and these magic rituals were in fact all part and parcel of the Solar Lodge OTO. At any rate, these magic rituals were an attempt to summon a magical Muse, for in the words of Dennis Wilson himself: “We were doing witchcraft, trying to make witchcraft music…” (See p.27 The Dark Stuff by Nick Kent). Charles Manson was also known to have hung out at the Whisky a Go-Go night-club in LA with both The Beach Boys’ Dennis Wilson (some of the Manson girls were also known to frequent the Whisky a Go-Go as well) and talent scout Gregg Jakobson (See Turn Off Your Mind p.324; The Whisky a Go-Go was the place where the Anton LaVey-associated Vito Paulekas, who would dance on a raised platform near the main stage at the Altamont Free Concert, was also known to hang out. Jim Morrison of The Doors was a good friend of Whisky a Go-Go owner/Mafioso Elmer Valentine, and Neil Young’s** band Buffalo Springfield even played a seven week stint as house band at the Whisky a Go-Go from May 2 to June 18, 1966 A.D.). Terry Melcher had in fact had been the previous renter of the house where the Manson Family’s Tate-murders had taken place. Dennis Wilson’s friends Terry Melcher and Gregg Jakobson were also friends of Kenneth Anger’s live-in boyfriend/Manson Family member/convicted murderer Bobby Beausoleil who was known to have jammed with Dennis Wilson and who was also known to have frequented the Whisky a Go-Go as well. So you can begin to see how this was one big happy Family and the Altamont Free Concert was organized as we shall later discover, as a staged magic-ritual event by an OTO magicpracticing group operating out of Beach Boys-member Dennis Wilson’s house in order to commemorate the 60th anniversary of an Aleister Crowley magic-ritual—more on this subject later. (** Neil Young’s mother was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a lineage-based membership organization for those descended from a person involved in the Illuminati/Carbonari-inspired American Revolutionary War. Other notable members include former First Lady Laura Bush, wife of U.S. President George W. Bush [George W. Bush was as the reader shall soon shockingly discover, the son of the daughter of Aleister Crowley] and actress Mary Pickford’s 528

friend, actress Lillian Gish, a close friend of actress Hellen Hayes whose friends included Bundy Drive Boys Ben Hecht and John Barrymore [John Barrymore was a friend of John Carradine who was a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge]. OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s disciple Jane Wolfe appeared in the film Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm with Mary Pickford in 1917 A.D. (along with actor William Demarest who would appear in no less than ten Preston Sturges directed films. Preston Sturges was also the son of one of Aleister Crowley’s former Scarlet Women with whom Crowley had performed his sex-magic rituals) and with Hollywood’s favorite witch Gloria Swanson in 1920 A.D. in Why Change Your Wife?. 1920 A.D. was the year Jane Wolfe (into whose OTO magic lodge Jack Parsons was at the first initiated) would give up her acting career in order to join Aleister Crowley at his Abbey of Thelema in Italy after having been previously in correspondence with Crowley for a number of years prior. Notice how everyone leads back in a mystical chain to Aleister Crowley and Crowley’s OTO magic order) Interestingly enough we learn: “It was while at high school that he (Bobby Beausoleil’s OTO-member friend Kenneth Anger) began to get interested in the occult, which he had first indirectly encountered through reading (Theosophical Society-member) Frank L. Baum’s (Wizard of) Oz books as a child, with their accompanying Rosicrucian philosophies. Kenneth was very interested in the works of the French ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi, as well as Sir James Frazer's The Golden Bough (a famous book on the subject of magic and witchcraft), although his favorite was the writings of the English occultist Aleister Crowley (who also wrote extensively on the subject of magic). Crowley had founded a religion known as Thelema based upon a religious experience that he had in Egypt in 1904, in which he claimed a being known as Aiwass (whom Crowley identified as his “Guardian Angel,” and no doubt this was an angel of the fallen variety) had contacted him and recited to him The Book of the Law (by definition a product of ‘automatic writing’). Kenneth subsequently became a great fan of Crowley’s work and converted to Thelema.” – Wikipedia: Kenneth Anger; the Sir J. Paul Getty, it is interesting to note, was Kenneth Anger’s ‘patron.’ Kenneth Anger was also involved with the Harvard-educated Dr. Alfred Kinsey of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction [also known as the Kinsey Institute which operated with Rockefeller Foundation funding funneled through the United States National Research Council], with whom he maintained a ‘friendship’ and with whom he shared a quite common interest in sex-magic magician Aleister Crowley including Crowley’s own sex-magic sexual exploits—Kenneth Anger had even accompanied Alfred Kinsey on a pilgrimage to Aleister Crowley’s then-defunct Abbey of Thelema in 1955 A.D. As we learn from 529

Wikipedia: “Kinsey’s reports, which led to a storm of controversy, are regarded by many as an enabler of the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s.” One may however successfully argue the sexual revolution itself was a product of latent on-going sex-magic practices. Kenneth Anger was as late as 2010 A.D. associated with the University of California, Berkeley Center for the Study of Sexual Culture [founded 2001 A.D.].

Jack Parsons’ widow, Marjorie Cameron Parsons, would star in Kenneth Anger’s movie entitled Inaugeration of the Pleasure Dome in 1954 A.D. which is basically a magic ceremony caught on film (similarly, Kenneth Anger’s Magick Lantern Cycle of film shorts are filmed magic spells). Marjorie Cameron herself had previously played a major role in the infamous Jack Parsons/L. Ron Hubbard 1946 A.D. Babalon Working sex-magic ritual—and Cameron* would become a friend of Anton LaVey after she was introduced to him by Kenneth Anger (*by whom it would seem Anton LaVey himself was himself initiated into the OTO). Anton LaVey had at one time even personally ordered a number of Aleister Crowley’s books from Marjorie Cameron’s late husband Jack Parsons who was himself until his death in constant contact with Aleister Crowley. In An Interview With Kenneth Anger by Kate Haug, Kenneth Anger tersely states: “I had been exposed to his (Aleister Crowley’s) books from an early age; from adolescence I knew Jack Parsons, who was a scientist that worked for Jet Propulsion Labs [Jack Parsons was through his own magickal workings in communication with an extra-terrestrial “Intelligence” which he claimed communicated with him directly—it even provided him with workable “instructions” for which he was obliged to follow. See Parsons’ The Magickal Revival p.167]. He had a collection of the books and was a serious student of Crowley’s. After he was killed in an explosion, I knew his widow, Marjorie Cameron, who’s in my film Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome. She remained a friend all her life. So I studied his books and found a great affinity to his philosophy, which, simplified, can be called pagan revival” (as such magic rituals were typically derived from ancient magical texts being housed in the British Museum in London). Another famous writer of note connected to the British Museum was a curious man named Charles Fort, born in Albany, N.Y. in 1874 A.D.: “(Charles) Fort and (his wife) Anna lived in London from 1924 to 1926, having moved there so Charles could peruse the files of the British Museum (from which he gleaned much of the information for his writings; this fact raises an Illuminati red flag, as not just anyone was allowed to study therein).” – Wikipedia: Charles Fort. 530

Charles Fort’s writings would give rise to the term ‘Fortean’ denoting paranormal phenomena. Fort returned to America and later founded the Fortean Society** in New York in 1931 A.D., which later grew to include a San Francisco chapter, several members of which would become part of Anton LaVey’s Magic Circle (See The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey) which faction was itself as we shall see associated with Jack Parsons and his OTO magic-practicing group. So it is a small world after all. A small, small world. (**Significantly enough, the first president of Charles Fort’s Fortean Society in New York, Theodore Dreiser, a personal friend of Charles Fort, was also a friend of John Cowper Powys who was himself a friend of Aleister Crowley’s friends Isidora Duncan and Louis T. Wilkinson, Wilkinson being an associate of both Theosophical Society-member Oscar Wilde [Wilde’s wife Constance had been a member along with Aleister Crowley of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order] and Aleister Crowley’s friend Frank Harris. So we find the Fortean Society connects to the OTO as well. Included amongst the membership rolls of the Fortean Society in New York was the aforementioned Hollywood Hellfire Club-member Ben Hecht and Oliver Wendall Holmes as well as a number of wellknown science-fiction writers who were themselves associates of Jack Parsons, head of Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodge. Also included within this group was sci-fi author Tiffany Thayer whose bestselling novel Thirteen Women [1930 A.D.] would be made into an RKO film by the same name in 1932 A.D. [Ben Hecht and Tiffany Thayers were in fact the original founders of the Fortean Society (See THE JOURNAL OF POPULAR CULTURE Spring 1975. Volume 8, Issue 4: The Flying Saucer Subculture by John A. Keel)]) The Charles Fort-inspired, Anton LaVey-associated U.S. Army vet/influential UFOlogist/International Fortean Society* member (*the successor organization to the original Fortean Society) (he is known as the “father of the New York Fortean Society”)/journalist/magician (he penned a book in 1957 A.D. entitled Jadoo, a Hindu word meaning ‘black magic,’ highlighting his trip to India, the Orient and the Middle East including his encounters with [amongst other occult groups] Yezidi devil worshippers and Hindu witches/gurus/practitioners of magic (it was, it must be noted, the job of a number of agents involved in the CIA’s Project MKULTRA to travel abroad: “…charged with the responsibility of trying to develop…information…on various cultures…anthropological type 531

data…” and magic, witchcraft and the shamanic arts was their particular subject of study) and writer of screenplays for such hit occult-message T.V. shows as Get Smart (a comedy series about spies), The Monkeys (a psychedelic comedy which parodied the Beatnik and Hippie life-styles and for which show, it should be noted, Charles Manson himself auditioned) and the sci-fi classic Lost in Space (whose major storyline involves contact with alien life forms), John A. Keel (aka the ‘King of Greenwich Village’) chimes in on this phenomenom circa. 1971 A.D. when he writes of: “…the amazing revolution of the mind which has taken place—almost unnoticed— in the past decade. The secret cults of the past have been replaced by the eerie mysticism of the LSD cults and the Hippie movement. Young people everywhere are turning to witchcraft and Black Magic and engaging in a sophisticated form of occultism which attempts to link their minds with the Cosmic Conciousness (the divine unified consciousness)…Young people experimenting with LSD and other hallucinogens sometimes have experiences they believe are contacts with the Cosmic Consciousness (explains Theosophical Society-member and Rosicrucian Fellowship Society [Oceanside, CA] founder Max Heindel in The Rosicrucian CosmoConnection [1909 A.D.], there exists: “…one common consciousness among all human beings; one group-spirit for all mankind.” This idea is manifested in the concept known as group-mind. It is also known as the Supermind and Godhead. According to the wisdom of the East as taught by the Theosophical Society itself: “All (which in the East is known as Brahman, a cognate of the word ‘Ahriman,’ who is Azazel) is God-consciousness… He (Brahman) is all and the Universe is in Him. Its manifestation is only a manifestation of Himself… It is not He and a universe, but He as a universe.”- The Wisdom of the Upanishats Lecture I, by Annie Besant, 1907 A.D.). Hence, when one attempts to tap into the Cosmic Consciousness, one is said to be tapping into the mind of God Itself (conversely, freewill involves a disconnect from the Supermind/Godhead which is said to be our present ‘fallen’ state). This process is Gnostic-ally known as seeking the Godhead, a reconnection with the cosmic Supermind, the All. Indeed: “…the basic fact in cosmic consciousness is implied in its name—that fact is consciousness of the cosmos… This consciousness shows the cosmos to consist not of dead matter governed by unconscious, rigid, and unintending law; it shows it on the contrary as entirely immaterial, entirely spiritual and entirely alive; it shows that death is an absurdity, 532

that everyone and everything has eternal life; it shows that the universe is God and that God is the universe…” - Cosmic Consciousness by Richard Maurice Bucke, 1901 A.D. As Dr. Bucke, by profession a psychiatrist and a friend of Walt Whitman [Whitman being a close friend of Fabian Society-founding member Edward Carpenter], goes on to explain: “Cosmic Consciousness, then, is a higher form of consciousness than that possessed by the ordinary man… Along with the consciousness of the cosmos there occurs [for the individual who succeeds in tapping into it] an intellectual enlightenment or illumination which alone would place the individual on a new plane of existence—would make him almost a member of a new species.”) but which ultimately prove to be destructive (in an attempt, to quote the Wiccan, to effect a “divine communion with the use of drugs.” [“Mescaline, hashish, dancing, concentration (read: meditation) – whisky among the Scots these are some of the elements which go towards the ‘opening of the inner eye’ which is supposed to bring about the union of the man and the power within and without.” – Gerald Gardner, Witch p. 94]. The use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD and mescaline were considered shortcuts to the successful achievement of this mystical state of mind as compared to the long-term training involved in the honing of the magicians Will in traditional magic/yogic processes, as “There is,” to quote the tired old saying, “more than one way to skin a cat” (the word psychedelic literally means ‘mind-manifesting’). The 1960s drug culture was spawned as one mass Buddhism-based Theosophical Society-influenced CIA-sponsored occult-inspired entheogenic drugfuelled psychological Illuminati mind-control experiment. It was the British Intelligence agent/ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley who had first promoted the empirical study of Buddhist teachings in his 1903 A.D. essay entitled Science and Buddhism). Charles Manson is a good example of this (“Manson established himself as a guru in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury, which, during 1967’s ‘Summer of Love,’ was emerging as the signature hippie locale. Expounding a philosophy that included some of the Scientology he had studied in prison, he soon had his first group of young followers, most of them female.” – Wikipedia: Charles Manson. As Manson explains: “A cell partner turned me on to Scientology (with most Scientologists being at this time directly associated with L. Ron Hubbard). With him and another guy I got pretty heavy into Dianetics and Scientology.” - pp.69-70 Manson: In His Own Words by Nuel Emmons, 1986 A.D. It must be noted L. Ron Hubbard [a former member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge], founder of 533

the Church of Scientology, asserts that Dianetics is in fact: “…the spiritual heir of Buddhism in the Western world,” and to quote L. Ron Hubbard’s own son, L. Ron, Jr.: “Black magic is the inner core of Scientology.” Dianetics itself is named after the witch goddess Diana (L. Ron Hubbard even naming a daughter, Diana, after her)— Dianetics is the science of witchcraft, Shamanism and Buddhism from an empirical point of view. Buddhism with its use of mantras and meditation is essentially an ancient magic-based brainwashing and mind-control system created by fallen angels. Indeed: “The devil’s ultimate target is to bring man under his control [through the process of Overshadowing], and the only way he can achieve that is by gaining entry into the man’s mind. It is there that the battle is joined.” – pp. 236237 The Omega Conspiracy: Satan’s Last Assault on God’s Kingdom by Dr. I.D.E. Thomas, 1986 A.D.)… Many people attracted to metaphysics spend years of

their lives following the secret (Buddhist-based) teachings, meditating (think: Yoga. Aleister Crowley once said: “The work of the Body of Light—with the technique of Yoga—is the foundation of Magick.” This belief, of course, is derived from teachings to be found in The Tibetan Book of the Dead), and disciplining their minds in an effort to gain godhead (another term for mystical illumination) (to plug into the Cosmic Consciousness, the very mind of God Itself. As Israel Regardie explains: “The inevitable end of Magic is identical to that conceived of in mysticism, union with the Godhead.” - Foundations of Practical Magic by Israel Regardie, 1979 A.D. Notable Quote: “…the wicked Satan…continued not in his first estate, nor kept his faith; in whom was no good intent towards Me [God], and who though I had created him, yet set me at naught, and sought the Godhead, so that I hurled him down from heaven.” - The First Book of Adam and Eve VI.7. Muslim’s tell a similar story: “Iblis [Iblis is the Muslim name for ‘devil.’ This devil is Satan] had laid claim to the Godhead…and God hurled him down from heaven…” – The Book of the Rolls. Seek Godhead at your own risk!). More often than not they only succeed in opening themselves up to (demonic) possessions (Pertinent Quote: “Os Guinness [Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center/Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institute in Washington, D.C.] notes a connection between the use of LSD and demon possession, and a statement by the Christian World Liberation Front…holds that drug use and demon possession may be interrelated.” – UFOs: What on Earth is Happening by Weldon/Levitt, 1975 A.D.) and hallucinations similar to those incurred by the use of psychedelic drugs or the practice of Black Magic or witchcraft. Today’s young 534

people are rapidly gaining firsthand knowledge of the phantom world of demons and ultraterrestrials (‘ultraterrestrials’ are purported to be fourth-dimensional/Otherwordly beings, namely, spirits) as a result of such efforts. The Hippie underground newspapers (including the San Francisco Oracle) and comic books (such as those comics created by artist George Metzger, a friend to many Bay area musicians including Grateful Dead band-members; the occult is a pervasive theme to be found in more mainstream comic books as well) are now filled with a new lore of demons and demigods as well as much inside information on the cosmology of the supermind (the All/Brahman/the Mind of God/the Universal Mind/the Cosmic Consciousness/Godhead). Dr Timothy Leary (an American psychonautic psychiatrist/Harvard University professor with a West Point Military Academy background involved in CIA MKULTRA research; founder of the League for Spiritual Discovery [LSD]; Illuminates of Thanateros** Gnostic magic-order member and Chaos Magic practitioner [**a secret society centering upon London’s East End magic scene featuring amongst its demonic pantheon H.P. Lovecraft’s alien Elder Gods of Lovecraft’s own Cthulhu Mythos]; by his own account “an admirer of Aleister Crowley” who was as he has professed in his book Flashbacks to be: “…carrying on much of the work that he [Crowley] started over a hundred years ago…” That the Illuminates of Thanateros [and thusly Timothy Leary himself] is associated with Aleister Crowley’s OTO is evidenced in the body of Ramsey Dukes [pen name of British ceremonial magician Lionel Snell] who was a known initiate of both magic orders) started the stampede to illumination and the Cosmic Consciousness in the late 1950s with his LSD experiments (as Timothy Leary himself reveals concerning his own psychotropic experimentations: “…we were attempting to create a new paganism…” [See p.208 Storming Heaven: LSD and the American Dream by Jay Stevens 1998 A.D.]. This “new paganism” was, of course, molded in part on old Hindu mystical teachings and black-magic Shamanic practices [and this with CIA sponsorship/funding through U.S. government funded MKULTRA experimentations] such as those teachings espoused by the Theosophical Society itself, including those specifically to be found in the Buddhist Bardol Thodol, also known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead. I believe the title of the following manual/guide to a successful psychedelic-induced religious experience sums up Timothy Leary’s message quite succinctly: Using LSD to Imprint the Tibetan-Buddhist 535

Experience: A Guide to Successful Psychedelic Experience by Dr. Timothy Leary, Ph.D. (as Timothy Leary’s assistant Michael Hollingshead explains: “…the psychedelic experience was not something invented by the Sandoz Chemical Company [makers of LSD], but has been known since Vedic times and for which an enormous literature exists.” - The Man That Turned on the World Chapter 6 by Michael Hollingshead. As explained by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World Revisited : “In the Vedic hymns we are told that the drinkers of soma [an entheogenic hallucinogen] were blessed in many ways. Their bodies were strengthened, their hearts were filled with courage, joy and enthusiasm, their minds were enlightened and in an immediate experience of eternal life they received the assurance of their immortality.”). It is also for which reason the Laurel Canyon musician and professed Voodoo Child Jimi Hendrix begged the question: “Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?” He speaks of course of the psychedelic experience. Jimi Hendrix unsuccessfully sought Godhead through LSD and magic and he like many of his cohorts would meet an untimely death [the Way to the Heights being policed by the Guardians]). Today the drug scene is a very important part of the youth subculture, much to the alarm of the over-forty crowd. The notorious music festival at Woodstock** (August 15-18, 1969 A.D.) in the closing days of the last decade was actually a mass illumination experience (involving the use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD). The seemingly

schizophrenic and destructive philosophy being touted by today’s young people is in fact identical to the programme of the Illuminati three centuries ago.” - Our Haunted World: Mysteries of Time and Space by John A. Keel.

No doubt Keel divulged inside information. Note the reference to the Illuminati group from which the Theosophical Society is linearly descended. This Illuminati program clearly represented a calculated assault upon Christianity. As John A. Keel intimated to Brad Steiger as related in Revelation: The Divine Fire p.197: “…the mass illumination of young people worldwide…will lead very soon…to the collapse of organized religion and all the nonsense theology (read: all the nonsense Christianity) has thrust down our throats for two thousand years.” (** Woodstock, N.Y. was the site of an Arts and Crafts artist’s colony [the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, aka the 536

Woodstock Arts Colony] founded by Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead [a friend of William Morris of the William Morris Agency], Harvardgrad Hervey White and Bolton Brown, creator of the Art Department at Stanford University. The William Morris Agency-represented recording artist Bob Dylan, a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith, owned a house here in the Woodstock Arts Colony in the 1960s to early 70s. Woodstock itself is situated near Poughkeepsie, NY, ground zero of the Carbonari-inspired 19th Century Spiritualist Movement in America). As Timothy Leary explained concerning his psychedelic experimentations: “A psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness…the Transcendence…of spacetime dimensions… Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. Most recently they have become available to anyone through the ingestion of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin (a fungi-derived entheogen), mescaline (mescaline-containing cacti such as peyote have been used in Native American Shamanic practices for thousands of years), DMT (Dimethyltryptamine; a plant derivative. DMT-containing plants are commonly employed in South American Shamanic magic rituals), etc.” - Introduction to The Psychedelic Experience: “A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead by Timothy Leary, Ph.D., Ralph Metzner, Ph.D., & Richard Alpert, Ph.D…dedicated, to Alduous [sic] Huxley” (published 1964 A.D.; Huxley had died the year prior). Early 1960s CIA-associated psychiatrist-blessed psychedelic experiments included the Harvard Psilocybin Project (psilocybin was distributed by Sandoz Labs to researchers such as Timothy Leary free of charge): “The Harvard Psilocybin Project was a series of loose experiments in psychology conducted by Dr. Timothy Leary and (Ken Kesey-associate) Dr. Richard Alpert. The founding board of the project consisted of Leary, Aldous Huxley, John Spiegel (later president of the American Psychiatric Association), Leary’s superior at Harvard University David McClelland, Frank Barron (remember this name; Timothy Leary worked with CIA-agent Frank Barron along with Ralph Metzner at Harvard’s Center for Research in Personality), Ralph Metzner (Ralph Metzner was Professor Emeritus of psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco; one Metzner associate of note is the self-styled shaman Terrence McKenna [McKenna would later lecture on the subject of hallucinogens at the CIA-associated Esalen Institute from the early 1980s onward] who reputedly frequently experienced contact with alien intelligences while under the influence of entheogens), and two graduate students who were working on a project with mescaline. The experiments began some time in 1960 and lasted until March 1962…” – Wikipedia: Harvard Psilocybin Project. One of the experiments carried out under the Harvard Psilocybin Project was the ‘Marsh Chapel Experiment’: “In the Marsh Chapel Experiment (performed at Boston University’s Marsh Chapel), which was run by Walter Pahnke at the Harvard Divinity 537

School under the supervision of Timothy Leary, almost all of the graduate degree divinity student volunteers who received psilocybin (the active ingredient found in Magic Mushrooms) reported profound religious experiences.” – Wikipedia: Psilocybin (See also the Journal of Psychopharmacology xxx(xx) (2008) 1–12. As Walter Pahnke later explained in his 1966 A.D. thesis Drugs and Mysticism: “If parapsychology is concerned in an interdisciplinary way with the question of the potentials of human experience (Human Potential), then the controlled exploration of experimental mysticism (read: the scientific study of Shamanism/Spiritualism/spirit mediumship/magic), facilitated by psychedelic drugs (while tripping on hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD), is an important parapsychological research area, where psychopharmacology, psychiatry, psychology, and theology can meet to mutual advantage.” - Drugs and Mysticism by Walter Pahnke, The International Journal of Parapsychology Vol VIII (No. 2) Spring 1966. Certainly the Timothy Leary-associated CIA agent John Starr Cooke would find himself fully immersed in this very pursuit as he contacted spirits via Ouija Board at his outpost in Mexico while high on LSD) (In 2006 A.D., a similar version of the Marsh Chapel Experiment was conducted at Johns Hopkins University by Roland R. Griffiths, Ph.D., yielding ‘very similar’ results [this likely representing a revamped MKULTRA-associated project]). Evidently: “While drawing up plans for a psilocybin experiment, Leary and Alpert consulted two essays by Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell. By coincidence Huxley was in the area as a visiting lecturer at MIT (MIT and Harvard College are both located in Cambridge, MA as is the modern school of magic known as the American Academy of Arts and Sciences founded in 1780 A.D. by a host of Illuminati luminaries of the day (a number of whom served as American Revolutionary War spies under the command of George Washington)—an unbroken line may from here be traced from the American Revolution to our day of the main players within our story. To peruse the official list of 58 University Affiliates is an Illuminating experience all by itself [58 being a significant occult number, particularly where the Rosicrucian’s Priory of Sion is concerned]). The elderly scholar (Aldous Huxley) was brought into the project, first as an adviser and then as a participant in a psilocybin experiment.” – Acid Dreams p.66. This was hardly by coincidence. No doubt this was a scripted event as Timothy Leary himself had been introduced to Dr. Osmond by Aldous Huxley himself. All were covert Intelligence assets formally engrossed in MKULTRA research.

Allen Ginsberg’s own experience with psilocybin had also been a transformative one for him, prompting him to embark on what he termed to be a “psychedelic crusade”: “In December 1960 Allen Ginsberg and (American poet) Peter Orlovsky arrived at (Timothy) Leary’s house in Newton (Newton, Massachusetts, less than seven miles from Boston). Although Ginsberg was a veteran of psychedelic trips, he had never tried psilocybin, so when the opportunity presented itself he and Orlovsky jumped at it… Ginsberg was inundated by a rush of messianic feelings. ‘We’re going to teach people to stop hating …. Start a peace and love movement,’ he triumphantly proclaimed… As far as he was concerned, psilocybin had vast implications far beyond the world of medicine; psychedelic drugs held the promise of changing mankind and ushering in a new millennium…” – Acid Dreams p.68. Allen Ginsberg himself had many contacts in the literary, art and musical fields (including Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones) which he immediately started turning on to psilocybin on both American 538

coasts** including many well known Greenwich Villagers included amongst which group was the great jazz musician Dizzie Gilespie. Dizzie Gilespie’s own patron was Pannonica de Koenigswarter (wife of French diplomat Baron Jules de Koenigswarter), aka Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild, a member of the infamous Rothschild family. (** The American port cities of New York City on the East Coast and San Francisco on the West Coast were linked by the Lincoln Highway [conceived and promoted by Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison’s friend, Carl G. Fisher, the owner of the first automobile dealership in the United States who was also a friend of President Theodore Roosevelt. It was Thomas Edison’s former employee Henry Ford who first brought the automobile to the masses in 1903 A.D.], America’s first transcontinental freeway constructed in 1913 A.D. during the early days of the automobile which ran coast-tocoast from Times Square in New York City to Lincoln Park in San Francisco, for 40 years the best route for traveling from New York City to San Francisco by automobile. Upon Henry Ford’s own death, he would bequeath most of his wealth to the New York City-based Ford Foundation. Throughout the 1950s, the Ford Foundation would provide arts and humanities fellowships which supported the work of writers including E.E. Cummings [E.E. Cummings was a friend of the CIA’s U.S. counterintelligence czar, James Angleton] and MKULTRA researchers including Margaret Mead. Margaret Mead and her husband, the OSS psychologist Gregory Bateson, were known MKULTRA researchers, and the Ford Foundation is now known to have then been used as a CIA front organization as well as a conduit for covert CIA/MKULTRA funding. Another 1950s Ford Foundation fellowship awardee is the German-born artist Josef Albers who headed Black Mountain College’s painting program from 1933 – 1949 A.D. [whose notable students included Robert Rauschenberg who along with his flamboyant dance partner, The New School for Social Research teacher John Cage, have graced the Esalen Institute itself with their wonderfully fantabulous erotic dance performances] and who from 1950 – 1958 A.D. headed Yale University’s Department of Design) One of the more notable participants in the Harvard Psilocybin Project was:

539

“Huston Cummings Smith (“a religious studies scholar in the United States. His book The World's Religions (originally titled The Religions of Man) remains a popular introduction to comparative religion” college courses)…professor and chair of the philosophy department at MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where Aldous Huxley served as a ‘visiting-professor’) from 1958 to 1973. While there, he participated in experiments with entheogens that professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert conducted at Harvard University…At University of California, Berkeley he was visiting professor of religious studies…As a young man, he suddenly turned from traditional Methodist Christianity to mysticism by the influence of the writings of Gerald Heard and Aldous Huxley (“Reared in England, he [Gerald Heard] studied philosophy and philosophy of religion at Cambridge University [the University of Cambridge was the 20 th Century professorial home to world renowned Sufi scholar Reynold A. Nicholson (Sir Thomas Adams's Professor of Arabic, 1926 -1933 A.D.) who has been described in England to have been “the greatest authority on Islamic mysticism this country has produced, and in his own considerable field was the supreme authority in the world.”]. He [Gerald Heard] was a friend of H.G. Wells [H.G. Wells had served as the director of British Foreign Intelligence during World War I], Julian and Aldous Huxley, and others of that left-wing humanist circle in the 1930s and 1940s. He spent his early career writing, teaching extension courses, and commenting on current events and science on the BBC (many British spies such as Maxwell Knight have worked for the BBC, yet another British Intelligence front company. The BBC served/serves as an official monitoring service for foreign radio and television broadcasts). In 1937 he was offered a position at Duke University but, after a brief stay in North Carolina (Aldous Huxley himself had personally accompanied Gerald Heard on his trip to America), decided instead to move to California where he eventually opened his own school in Trabuco Canyon near Los Angeles. Although it was called Trabuco College, Heard’s school was really more an ashram (by definition a religious commune). Trabuco was not merely a place to teach the religious life [in this case Eastern mysticism]; it was a place to live it.” – Saving the Earth p.68. Trabuco College, a school of magic in an entirely Eastern sense, was essentially a proto-type for the Esalen Institute. Esalen co-founder Michael Murphy has said: “Gerald Heard was a prime catylyst in the founding of Esalen” (the Esalen Institute was founded in 1962 A.D.), and 540

Michael Murphy had in fact consulted with Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard immediately prior to the Esalen Institute’s founding, even visiting Gerald Heard at his Santa Monica home (Santa Monica was home to the Rand Corporation [amongst whose ranks was Margaret Mead] which also beginning in 1962 A.D. would conduct a four-year experiment in LSD, peyote, and marijuana. The Rand Corporation was founded by General ‘Hap’ Arnold with initial capitol provided by the Ford Foundation). Gerald Heard, amongst other works including those of a comparative religious nature has penned a book entitled Is Another World Watching? The Riddle of the Flying Saucers (as UFO contactee Orfeo Angelucci notes in his book The Secret of the Saucers, Gerald Heard was one of the individuals in the early 1950s: “…making every effort to awaken the public to the awesome fact that our world might well be under observation by beings from another planet.”). The London-born Gerald Heard, with Oxford and Cambridge University affiliations [Universities where the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn recruited many of its members, from where in its own turn, British Intelligence also recruited], was editor (1929 – 1930 A.D.) of The Realist (as H.G. Well’s notes in his 1928 A.D. book The Open Conspiracy: Blueprints for a World Revolution [in his own words a “conspiracy against established things” including the religious establishment through the construction of a “New World” order including the institution [through the use of groups including the “League of Nations” and the “Royal Society of London”] of “World government” economically induced into “a single world commonweal” through a system of “Free Trade” and made complete “with a new psychology” through the creation of a unified new world “religion.” This unified new religion touted by the New World Order would manifest itself as ‘Humanism’ and the tools used to build the order were to include novel educational systems, prodigious use of “propaganda,” and even “population control” (by acting in cooperation with the “Birth Control movement”) as well as the development of new technologies wrought by “a new world system of scientific work built up, within…such dear old institutions (and bastions of magic and witchcraft) as the Royal Society of London, the various European Academies of Science and the like.” We are truly today living in this Wellsian wrought world], the world is composed of Realists and Nominalists, hence the name, The Realist), a journal of scientific humanism (read: magic from a scientific viewpoint) whose sponsors (as well as its editorial board) included British spymaster H.G. Wells 541

(Wells was also author of the sci-fi classic War of the Worlds [1898 A.D.] depicting an alien invasion of the Earth inspired by the great UFO flap of 1896-1897 A.D. involving a rash of UFOs sightings over Chicago and San Francisco), Julian Huxley (H.G. Wells collaborated on an encyclopedia of books on the subject of biology entitled The Science of Life [1929 A.D.] with evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley, having previously studied under Julian’s father T.H. Huxley [known as ‘Darwin’s Bulldog’ for his advocacy of Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution], in London. Charles Darwin’s great-grandson Henry Darwin would serve like H.G. Wells before him with the British Foreign Office spy group), and (Julian’s brother) Aldous Huxley (no doubt an English spy as well). In 1927 A.D. Gerald Heard began lecturing for South Place Ethical Society [the oldest surviving Freethought organisation in the world]. During this period he [Huston Cummings Smith] was ‘Science Commentator’ for the BBC for a number of years; council member of the Society for Psychical Research [SPR], 1932 – 1942 A.D.). In 1947, before moving from Denver to St. Louis, Smith set out to meet with then-famous author Gerald Heard. Heard responded to Smith’s letter, inviting him to his Trabuco College (later donated as the Ramakrishna Monastery) (Gerald Heard was a teacher at the Vedanta Society prior to his establishment of Trabuco College [Trabuco College has been described as a ‘club for mystics’] which overlooked the Pacific Ocean at Laguna Beach, home of the Timothy Leary-associated Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization) in Southern California [Trabuco College was affiliated with the Vedanta Society with which British Intelligence assets Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard were associated, as well as with the Esalen Institute where CIA-employee Frank Barron who worked with CIA-psychiatrist Timothy Leary at Harvard was employed [Frank Barron even served on the Esalen Institute’s board of directors], likely all these individuals and organizations being involved to some degree in official MKULTRA research [Aldous Huxley was known for hosting ‘psychic Tuesday’ gatherings at his home in Beachwood Canyon in the Hollywood Hills area frequented by hypnotists and Spiritualist mediums and Hollywood stars including Burgess Meredith and his wife, former Ziegfeld Follies girl Paulette Goddard, leading lady and one-time wife of actor Charlie Chaplin and later friend of artist Andy Warhol (Beachwood Canyon was the canyon home to the historic Annie Besant Lodge of the Theosophical Society [the Annie Besant Lodge is the current home of the Maja 542

Magic School run by the ‘White Witch of L.A.,’ Maja D’Aoust, former Librarian of Theosophical Society-member Manly P. Hall’s Philosophical Research Society where Gerald Heard was also known to have lectured in his day] located at 2560 N. Beachwood Dr., Beachwood Canyon being the original site of the Theosophical Society’s Krotona colony). Aldous Huxley himself practiced Vedantic Hinduism at the Hollywood ashram (religious commune) of Swami Prabhavananda (then head of the Ramakrishna Order) the end result of which was his anthology of mystical writings entitled The Perrennial Philosophy published in 1945 A.D.]. Heard made arrangements to have Smith meet the legendary author Aldous Huxley [as Huxley was in America on a Harvard visiting professorship]. Smith was told to look up Swami Satprakashananda of the Vedanta Society once he settled in St. Louis. So began Smith’s experimentation with meditation and association with the Vedanta Society of the Ramakrishna Order [Important Note: The Vedanta Society receives its name from the fact that it is dedicated to the teachings of the The Vedas. The Vedas are a large body of Hindu religious texts made up of four main canonical Samhita known as the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda. The Atharvaveda is a compilation of magic spells, incantations, mantras, charms and hymns [the teachings found in The Vedas are incorporated into an Eastern system of magic known as Vedantic Hinduism wherein as noted by occultist Rollo Ahmed in his book, The Black Art: “In India all kinds of magic are found blended with the holy Vedic rites...”]. Indeed: “…the philosophy which underlies magic is the philosophy which appears in the Indian ‘Vedanta’ [also known as the Upanishads] the philosophy of ‘Monism’ [Monism is the belief that there is one God who has many manifestations in the diverse religious traditions, that all of the great teachers of the past, Buddha, Muhammad, Jesus, et al, were all manifestations of the one and only God. In this Monistic tradition will appear Azazel as Matraiya, known in The Bible as the False Prophet]. In this philosophy God and His Universe are seen to be one and the same” [not God and the Universe, but that God is the Universe]). – The Magician, His Training and Work by W.E. Butler). Huston Cummings Smith developed an interest in the Traditionalist School formulated by René Guénon (Guénon, a French metaphysician, adhered to the tenets of Sufism: “Guénon was initiated in 1912 in the Shadhili order and moved to Cairo in 1930 where he spent the rest of his life as a Sufi Muslim.” - Wikipedia) and by Ananda Coomaraswamy 543

(Ananda Coomaraswamy was yet another of Aleister Crowley’s occult acquaintances—in fact, Aleister Crowley had seduced, impregnated and even stolen Ananda Coomaraswamy’s wife [See p.112 Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast by Colin Wilson]). This interest has become a continuing thread in all his writings. Thanks to his connection with (Gerald) Heard and (Aldous) Huxley, Smith went on to meet Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (who later changed his name to Baba Ram Dass in his role as an LSD sex-magic guru), and others (including CIA agent Frank Barron) at the Center for Personality Research (at Harvard University), where Leary was Research Professor (conducting MKULTRA research for the CIA). The group began experimenting with psychedelics and what Smith later called ‘empirical metaphysics.’ The experience and history of the group are described in Smith’s book Cleansing the Doors of Perception (the ‘science’ of Metaphysics can in my guesstimation be succinctly summed up as “Perception is Reality and Reality is Illusion” [Maya]). During this period, Smith was also part of the Harvard [Psilocybin] Project [now known to have been a CIA-sponsored MKULTRA research project], an attempt to raise spiritual awareness through entheogenic plants [by definition hallucinogenic plants used in a religious, Shamanic, or spiritual context].” – Wikipedia: Huston Smith. It is helpful to view comparative religionists such as Huxley and Smith as being adepts of multicultural magic systems). This gathering together, this meeting of Overshadowed magic-practicing minds, was, I should “reasonably” assume, and we all know what happens when one assumes, part of the entheogenic fact-finding aspect of project MKULTRA, though many of these individuals had interconnecting associations prior to its institution. In any event, I include the following quote/timeline which returns 16 results in an internet search (now 17), which I believe to be garnered from Leary’s book Flashbacks, for amusement purposes only: “1954-59: Leary is director of clinical research and psychology at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Oakland (having previously earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of California in 1950 A.D.). He devises a personality test, "The Leary," which is used by CIA to test prospective employees. He has also become a close friend to Frank Barron, a graduate school classmate who has been working for the CIA since at least 1953 (1953 A.D. being the year MKULTRA was instituted). Barron works at the Berkeley Institute for Personality Assessment and Research (the IPAR founded in 1949 A.D. and located at the University of California, 544

Berkeley), which Leary will later acknowledge is "funded and staffed by OSS-CIA psychologists" (the IPAR was headed up by former OWI officer/psychologist Richard Stanley Crutchfield, a Pittsburg-born CalTech/UCBerkeley grad. IPAR operates today as the Institute of Personality and Social Research). 1960-61: Barron founds the Harvard Psychedelic Drug Research Center. Leary follows Barron to Harvard and becomes a lecturer in psychology. After Barron administers to him some CIA-supplied psilocybin and LSD, Leary begins tripping regularly. He also studies the effects of psychedelics on others in controlled experiments (including the Harvard Psilocybin Project). He later admits to knowing, at the time, that "some powerful people in Washington have sponsored all this drug research." In addition to Barron, Leary’s Harvard associates and assistants during this period include former OSS chief pyschologist [Henry A. Murray]…” who had previously overseen the OSS’s ‘truth serum’ drug experiments. As Timothy Leary would later concede: “The LSD movement was started by the CIA… I wouldn’t be here now without the foresight of the CIA scientists… It was no accident… It was all planned and scripted…” - p.7 Acid Dreams. Michael Murphy of the Esalen Intstitute (with which institute Frank Barron and Timothy Leary were also associated) shares a typical MKULTRA background. A Stanford University grad (where he would work with future Harvard College president Derek Bok and with WWII Navy vet/future Oregon senator Mark Hatfield [a friend of Rev. Billy Graham, Hatfield was on Richard Nixon’s shortlist of 1968 A.D. vice-presidential candidates]), Murphy was drafted into the army in 1952 A.D. and served as an Army psychiatrist. Murphy himself was well versed in Eastern religions and metaphysical philosophies, and would later spend time in India at the ashram of the late Sri Aurobindo, an England-educated revolutionary/Vedantic Hinduism yogi involved in India’s fight for independence. Michael Murphy, a Stanford University attendee, like so many of the individuals in our story, is descended from Illuminus forebears being the ancestor of an officer who served in the fledgling American Continental navy during the Revolutionary War and also like so many in our story had himself associated with well known revolutionaries (including the aforementioned Indian revolutionary Sri Aurobindo in whose ashram, run by his followers after his death [in 1950 A.D.], Murphy would study in 1956 [See p.30 The Upstart Spring]. Prior to 545

Aurobindo’s death, Frederic Spiegelberg himself had at one point spent a sabbatical year in India where he had visited with Sri Aurobindo at his Pondicherry ashram [Ibid p.27]. Sri Aurobindo notably enough had been educated in England. Likely these trips represented anthropological expeditions under Operation BLUEBIRD, Operation ARTICHOKE and MKULTRA auspices). Most importantly, Arnold J. Toynbee (who worked for the Political Intelligence Department in the British Foreign Office under H.G. Wells, director of British Foreign Intelligence, during World War I, and who again during World War II would serve as chief of the combined British Intelligence services reporting directly to British P.M. Winston Churchill) also lectured there at the Esalen Institute. CIA psychiatrist and MKULTRA experimentor Timothy Leary and his assistant Richard Alpert would also host seminars at Esalen Institute (See Upstart Spring). Esalen Institute was no doubt a joint American/British MKULTRA Intelligence operation devoted to the study and teaching of magic and mysticism in its many varied forms. As we learn from Wikipedia: “In the 1950s, (Gerald) Heard (who by his close association with H.G. Wells would brand him as also being a British Intelligence agent) tried LSD and felt that, used properly, it had strong potential to ‘enlarge Man’s mind’ by allowing a person to see beyond his ego (at this point in time Heard began to lecture as much at venues such as Sequoia Seminar). In late August 1956, Alcoholics Anonymous** founder Bill Wilson first took LSD — under Heard’s guidance and with the officiating presence of Dr. Sidney Cohen (Dr. Sidney Cohen, author of The Beyond Within: The LSD Story [1964 A.D.], was known to have been involved in MKULTRA experimentations and this was certainly one of them), a psychiatrist then with the California Veterans Administration Hospital (in Los Angeles). According to Wilson, the session allowed him to reexperience a spontaneous spiritual experience he had had years before, which had enabled him to overcome his own alcoholism.” – Wikipedia: Gerald Heard (** Alcoholics Anonymous is itself grounded in Spiritualism and Spiritualist practices: “…a spiritual awakening is an essential part of their [Alcoholics Anonymous] recovery program. Hence six of the Twelve Steps are of a spiritual nature: ‘…it is inconceivable that we could recover from alcoholism without…some power greater than our own… Without the spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps…A.A…would be a group of disgruntled alcoholics temporarily on the wagon.” – p.63 Revelation: The Divine Fire. As we learn 546

from this book, Alcoholics Anonymous was in its very essence a Spiritualist proto-cult the court-ordered participation in which should be definitely discontinued) (OSS agent Al Hubbard is credited with the development of psychedelic therapy involving LSD use in the 1950s [See Acid Dreams]. Al Hubbard along with his colleague Abram Hoffer had been treating alcoholics in Canada with LSD the continuing success of which prompted Alcoholic Anonymous-founder Bill Wilson to himself partake in LSD psychotherapy as a way of treating his own alcoholism [See ‘Pass It On’: The Story of Bill Wilson and How the A.A. Message Reached the World]. Indeed: “When LSD was first introduced to the United States in 1949,** it was well received by the scientific community. Within less than a decade the drug had risen to a position of high standing among psychiatrists [as a point of reference, Naval Intelligence officer L. Ron Hubbard’s article on ‘Dianetics’ lauding the Shamanic approach to psychiatric treatment (including the use of entheogens in psychedelic therapy) was published in May, 1950 A.D.; more on this subject later. Perhaps it should be in fact L. Ron Hubbard who is credited for the creation of psychedelic therapy]. LSD therapy was by no means a fad or a fly-bynight venture. More than one thousand clinical papers were written on the subject, discussing some forty thousand patients.” – Acid Dreams p.76. (** “LSD was introduced into this country in 1949 by Dr. Max Rinkel and his colleagues at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center [a five minute walk from Harvard Medical School] in Boston. There, too, the hope was that the new drug would prove beneficial in the treatment of schizophrenics.” – The LSD Story by John Cashman, 1966 A.D.) (Concerning the correlation of LSD drug use with demonic possession, Colin Wilson in his book Alien Dawn p.4 describes the experience of one such psychiatrist who was involved in LSD psychiatric therapy [likely as part of an MKULTRA experiment] named Stanislav Grof [Grof was a Soviet defector engaged in pioneering theurapeutic LSD research who likewise taught at Esalen Institute as a scholar in residence] who had been treating a manic depressive [a bi-polar disorder] with violent suicidal tendancies: “Her first two sessions with high doses of LSD were not unusual… Two hours into the third session, the facial cramps from which she normally suffered became stronger and more painful. Suddenly, her face froze into what Grof describes as ‘a mask of evil.’ She began to speak in a deep male voice, and she seemed to undergo a total change of personality. The male voice introduced itself as the Devil. He ordered Grof to stay away from her, saying she belonged to him… Grof says they could all feel the ‘tangible presence of something alien’ in the room.” LSD use does in fact open up the mind to such demonic influences. This is the case with all such entheogens, hence their original Shamanic roots). At this point in time many individuals and anthropologists such as Gerald B. Gardner and Jacques Vallee were themselves traveling abroad, learning various Shamanic/magic practices and importing these practices back into their countries of origin, and ultimately, to America [likely under MKULTRA auspices as well, jointly carried out by American and allied British Intelligence agencies]).

Like Theosophical Society-member William James before him, Gerald Heard’s early work with entheogenic drugs certainly preceeded 547

this later concerted endeavor. In 1942 A.D., Gerald Heard, a British Intelligence agent, had founded Trabuco College in Trabuco Canyon in the Santa Ana Mountains as a commune-type enterprise where comparative religious studies and Shamanic practices including Eastern mysticism could be pursued largely in a private setting (magic rituals including, no doubt, the use of entheogenic drugs). In 1949 A.D. Gerald Heard would transfer ownership of Trabuco College to the Vedanta Society of Southern California. It would seem Gerald Heard was quite the entheogenic studies pioneer (it was said MKULTRA experiments may have begun as early as the 1940s and likely was the reason Trabuco College was originally established, and if not formally a part of MKULTRA itself, it was certainly a preliminary version of it. MKULTRA, as we shall see, did in fact as conceded by Harvard psychiatrist Timothy Leary in his book Flashbacks carry on the entheogenic studies begun by Aleister Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (itself the magic practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society itself in which society Harvard professor William James was a member), and Aleister Crowley it is said was a British Intelligence agent who often worked in concert with American Intelligence agencies (See Secret Agent 666). L. Ron Hubbard, a member of Naval Intelligence who had been a member along with Jack Parsons of Aleister Crowley’s American OTO magic lodge, was also involved in psychiatric-based entheogenic studies as his ‘Dianetics’ article in the May, 1950 issue of Astounding Science Fiction so attests). However, ritual use of hallucinogens was not an uncommon Theosophical Society practice, particularly amongst the magic practicing members of its ‘Esoteric Section.’ Theosophical Society members and their esoteric teachings were an underlying element of the 1960s counter-cultural revolution (one may even venture to call it a Counter Counter-Reformation). The story of magic and the fallen angels is incomplete without the story of the psychedelic drugs and the Shamanic practices with which they are associated: “In May 1957 Life magazine ran a story on the discovery of the ‘magic mushroom’ as part of its Great Adventure series. Written by R. Gordon Wasson (a Research Fellow at the Botanical Museum of Harvard University), the seventeen-page spread, complete with color photos, was laudatory in every way. Wasson, a vice-president of J.P. 548

Morgan and Company (a reputed Illuminati hotbed according to the John Birch Society. Wasson served as chairman of the CFR as well), pursued a lifelong interest in mushrooms (a science known as ethnomycology) as a personal hobby (as related in The Stargate Conspiracy p.210: “The money for Wasson’s expedition actually came from MKULTRA’s Subproject 58.” Journalism is historically a common vocation used as a front for Intelligence gathering operations although the CIA has been barred from employing journalists as spies ever since the 1970s though this rule is in fact subject to Executive waiver always of an extremely secretive nature; as British author of espionage novels John le Carré [pen name of David John Moore Cornwell] has noted: “…intelligence work is…the collection of information, a journalistic job, if you will, but done in secret.” John le Carré worked for the British MI5 and MI6 Intelligence agencies until his cover was blown by the Cambridge Five group of double agents employed by the KGB. John Le Carré’s own father was an associate of the Kray Twins and his half sister Charlotte Cornwell would star in the Rank Organization’s [itself a British Intelligence front company] 1990 A.D. film The Krays based on the lives of the Kray Twins, Ronald and Reginald Kray). He and his wife, Valentina, journeyed all over the world, treading a unique path (hardly unique, this is a common pursuit amongst practitioners of magic) through the back roads of history in an effort to learn about the role of toadstools in primitive societies (read: to gather information on the subject of entheogens and the Shamanic uses thereof; they were gathering anthropological-type information as part of an MKULTRA Subproject). Their travels took them to the remote highlands of Mexico, where they met a medicine woman (named María Sabina) who agreed to serve them teonanacati, or ‘God’s flesh,’ as the divine mushrooms were called (teonanacati, a mushroom containing the hallucinogen psilocybin, was ingested as part of ancient Aztec Shamanic magic rites. It was a Harvard grad/research associate named Richard Evans Schultes who is known as the Father of Ethnobotany who is credited with the ‘rediscovery’ of Teonanacatl [an entheogenic mushroom of the Psilocybe genus] as well as for the introduction of the Shaman poison curare whose active ingredient Dtubocurarine is used as a muscle relaxer in the Western medical world [Schultes would in 1979 A.D. co-author a book with the LSD alchemist Albert Hofmann [it was Hofmann who first synthesized psilocybin] entitled The Plants of the Gods: Their Sacred, Healing, and Hallucinogenic 549

Powers])… Wasson’s account constituted nothing less than a journalistic breakthrough. A mass audience was introduced to the mysterious world of chemical hallucinogens, and soon hundreds of people started flocking to Mexico to find their own curandero (a ‘curandero’ is a Latin American Shaman. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Many 1960s celebrities visited María Sabina, including rock stars such as Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.” In part, as noted in The Encyclopedia of Witches, Witchcraft and Wicca: “Curanderos are folk psychiatrists, providing magical cures for mental and emotional problems…which may involve exorcising spirits believed responsible for problems.” From such quite ancient Shamanic psychiatric practices evolved modern psychopharmacological LSD psychotherapy. Entheogenic-based psychiatry akin to LSD therapy had been practiced in fact for thousands of years). At the same time Dr. Albert Hofmann conducted a chemical analysis of the divine mushroom at Sandoz Laboratories. He extracted the active ingredients (through as must be noted an alchemical process) and synthesized a new compound: psilocybin.” – Acid Dreams p.63-64 (for as “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.” – p.25 Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare by Michael A. Hoffman II). The year 1957 A.D. also saw the publication of an

influential book entitled Drugs and the Mind authored by an alchemistic biochemist named Robert S. De Ropp, an associate of Meta-game players Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard (Notable De Ropp Quote: “The whole human population of the earth can be divided roughly into two groups, meta-game players and object-game players [‘object-games’ are “played for the attainment of material things” such as material wealth]…Meta-games are played for intangibles such as knowledge or the salvation of the soul.’” – The Master Game by Robert S. De Ropp, 1989 A.D.). Robert S. De Ropp was a former student of the mystic Spiritualist P.D. Ouspensky—De Ropp’s associate Aldous Huxley had himself attended a number of P.D. Ouspensky’s celebrated lectures before his arrival in California (Robert S. De Ropp’s mother was related by marriage to Royal Society Fellow Francis Darwin, son of Royal Society Fellow/evolutionist Charles Darwin, a close associate of De Ropp’s own colleague Aldous Huxley’s grandfather, T.H. Huxley). P.D. Ouspensky was the famous student of the Russian ceremonial magician/Shaman G.I. Gurdjieff (whose shaved head denoted his Sufi magic adeptship). One of P.D. Ouspensky’s other notable students was 550

the British Captain John G. Bennett known for his many books on psychology and spirituality and famous particularly for those books devoted to the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff whom Bennett of course had also personally known (Bennett was additionally involved with the Subud spiritualist movement). At the time he had been studying with Ouspensky, Bennett was serving as head of British Military Intelligence in Constantinople. One may only assume this magical quest was part of an MKULTRA Subproject as well (Notable Gurdjieff Quote: “My way is to develop the hidden potentialities of man [hence the term ‘human potential’]; a way that is against Nature and against God” and this by way of ancient magic practices. And British Intelligence agent John G. Bennett was Gurdjieff’s devoted disciple). Some MKULTRA Subprojects were known to have been conducted in partnership with elements of British Intelligence, and no doubt John G. Bennett had played a major role therein. Disciples of John G. Bennett would later open The Northwest Academy for Continuous Education in Portland, OR: “The Northwest Academy was established in 1974 by some of Bennett’s students…fresh from a years study with Bennett at Sherborne House” (at Bennett’s International Academy for Continuous Education in Sherborne, Gloucestershire, England). Another British spy known to have studied with G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky was Algernon Blackwood, a founding member of the Theosophical Society in Toronto, Canada who was also a member of its magic-practicing inner-circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. (Additional Notable De Ropp Quote: “…the modern chemist…is the linear descendant of a long line of witch doctors, shamans, sorcerers, and alchemists. Their carefully guarded secrets have become his stock in trade but he has improved and enormously enlarged his heritage… he has embarked on a voyage into the realm of synthesis, creating [synthetic] compounds not found in nature… All of these drugs act by affecting the chemistry of the brain… this chemistry underlies all our manifestations. Neither thought nor emotion can occur without some chemical change… The brain…is a chemical laboratory of incredible complexity… [it] endlessly weaves the fabric of man’s life, the thoughts, emotions, actions, hopes, and fears which form the very basis of his being.” – pp.6,7,8 Drugs and the Mind by Robert S. De Ropp, 1957 A.D. Magic-based MKULTRA Subprojects sought to create and test a variety of drugs whereby people’s thoughts and actions might be in such a way chemically controlled and manipulated, for as Robert Anton Wilson 551

notes in Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuninati, human: “…consciousness is chemical in nature and changes as its chemistry changes,” a case in point being the effects of the alchemical drug Lysergic acid diethylamide, also known as LSD, upon the human consciousness. Such is the dark side of the science of biochemistry which once had been categorized as ‘alchemy’ and ‘natural magic.’ As De Ropp naively enough rationalizes (insert maniacal mad-scientist laugh here): “What can we expect from this intrusion of the chemist into the most sacred recesses of the human soul? (as De Ropp defines it: “…our holy of holies, the innermost sanctum of our spiritual being.”) … The restoration of your primeval innocence, your re-entry into the Garden of Eden, will now be accomplished through the agency of a pill… O most fortunate of mortals, whose spiritual defects are made good by the skill of the scientist… No longer need you struggle with your weaknesses or agonize over your sins. Salvation need not be purchased at the cost of spiritual war. In the chemopsychiatric age you can buy it by the bottle. O brave new world that has such bottles in it!” (Ibid pp.282-284; note the nod to Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World). Robert De Ropp and other modern-day alchemists/psychopharmacologists of his ilk, were, to borrow a quote from William S. Burrough’s friend Robert Anton Wilson: “…chemical Gnostics…searching busily for a molecular back door to the Garden of Eden” (See Sex, Drugs and Magick p.68). An Encyclopaedia of Occultism by Lewis Spence similarly intones that “the end and aim of all Alchemy”** was “to restore man to his primordial condition of grace, strength, perfection, beauty and physical immortality” which Man had possessed before his Fall from grace, before his expulsion from the Garden of Eden. As LSD enthusiast/MKULTRA researcher Michael Hollingshead explains in The Man Who Turned on the World, it was believed such psychedelic mind-altering consciousnessexpanding entheogenic drugs were occultly represented by, and were believed in fact to be (and this according to the Frankurt School of Psychological Theory, most specifically as promulgated by GermanJewish Humanist psychologist Erich Fromm): “…the fruit from the mystical tree of knowledge” the consumption of which led to a godlike existence (he refers of course to Genesis 3:5 which states: “…in the day ye eat thereof [of the “fruit” of the “tree” of “knowledge” (See Genesis 2:17)] then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods...” (Psychiatrists such as Erich Fromm had Kabalistically interpreted the story of Adam and Eve in light of human biological 552

evolution, this belief being [as noted by A.E. Waite in The Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross p.598] a chief Rosicrucian [Cabalistic] teaching). Indubitably, as occultist Richard Cavendish elucidates: “The attempt to become a god is the Great Work of magic and alchemy.” – The Black Arts p.154. In fact: “All mystical techniques, including those of the Qabalah, represent a method of hastening the slow tedious process of human evolution so that the states of consciousness that we are told will ultimately occur…may dawn today.” – p.62 Foundations of Practical Magic by Israel Regardie, 1979 A.D.). And it is to this end, man’s ‘attempt to become a god,’ that MKULTRA LSD experimentation led by a CIA black magic-practicing ceremonial magician owes its genesis, and to this day such associated elements are still towing the same old ancient tired line, as synthetic drug use is in fact on the rise today. Consider the story of an American teenager—it is in reality a new old story: “Witnesses described the 17-year-old boy as ‘shaking, growling, foaming at the mouth’…Soon after, he ‘started to smash his head against the ground’ and began acting ‘possessed,’ according to a witness. Two hours later, he had stopped breathing. The Grand Forks, North Dakota teenager’s fatal overdose has been blamed on a drug called 2C-I…2C-I— known by its eerie street name ‘Smiles’…is on the rise all over the country… Smile’s effects have been called a combination of MDMA and LSD, only far more potent… Because the drug is relatively new—it first surfaced around 2003 in European party scenes and only recently made its way to the states—the most readily accessible information about 2C-I comes from user accounts, many of which detail frightening experiences… On an internet forum one user describes the high as a ‘roller coaster ride through hell’… Some speculate those ‘hobby chemists’—making the drug using powders shipped from China, acetone and plant-based materials—are to blame for concocting particularly strong or toxic batches… Already, a newer, re-booted version of the drug (called 25b-Nbome) is cropping up on the other side of the planet…” - 2C-I or 'Smiles' (9/21/2012 A.D.) by Piper Weiss, Healthy Living©. (And likely these newer and more powerful drugs are being propagated by associates of the same old usual suspects. Another modern-day area of research working towards mankind’s magical attainment of “godhead” is Transhumanism [the fusion of man and machine], a term coined by Julian Huxley in 1957 A.D., the main center of Transhumanist thought being UCLA, one of the main proponents of Transhumanism [an outgrowth of the human potential movement] being Jewish futurist Ray Kurzweil [Google©’s director of engineering] who works towards this goal in conjunction with the NASA Ames Research Center located in California’s Silicon Valley. Their ultimate goal? As detailed in Brad Steiger’s book, Gods of Aquarius per ‘Microphysics wizard, Col. Thomas E. Bearden,’ a scientist [specializing in quantum mechanics/EM waves/EEGs] with the DoD/U.S. aerospace program: “The final evolution of the living process is godness… any ‘next step’ in evolution must be taken technologically by the [human] species itself if it is to be taken at all… The only viable solution is to link the brains of all men into one giant superbrain… This linkage must be accomplished technologically by creating and installing a system of direct communication links [through a brain–computer interface (BCI) such as those under development by DARPA at UCLA which formally began in the 1970s] between all men’s individual brains [the pioneering scientist of BCI technology being German Nazi scientist Hans Berger, the inventor of electroencephalography (EEG) technology and the discoveror of the brain’s alpha wave rythym]… With the integration of all humanity into a coherent single consciousness [a transhuman singularity leading to the loss of individuality though allowing One to perceive in multiple new dimensions as also therein noted]…the superbeing [duly associated, in the words of Henri Bergson, into “a unity that is multiple and a multiplicity that is one” in accordance with “the ‘colonial’ theory of the genesis of higher organisms” (See Creative Evolution)] 553

begins to aquire a direct power and dominance over time, space and matter. That is, it begins to exhibit ‘godlike’ powers… Another immediate advantage of linkage is immortality.” – pp.257-259 Gods of Aquarius by Brad Steiger, 1976 A.D. [Pertinent Quote: “Another important issue for transhumanism is life extension. Old age is viewed as an illness to be cured. One scientist views the human body as a machine that accumulates damage over time, damage than can be repaired much as a car can be repaired. Others believe that human consciousness might one day be transferred to a computer [a concept most memorily envisioned in the 1992 A.D. film, The Lawnmower Man], granting a form of ‘eternal life.’” – Transhumanism: An Evaluation from the Theological Perspective of the Lutheran Church— Missouri Synod, September 2011]. Today the ‘mad scientist’ is quite madder than hell and U.S. government sponsored as well. Indeed: “The late [CIA psychiatrist] Timothy Leary…father of LSD, was convinced of the consciousness altering abilities of cyberspace as he had been of psychedelic drugs. Cyberspace, suggests [the CalArts-educted/New Schoolassociated/U.N.-U.S. State Department-connected] Gen-X guru Douglas Rushkoff [creator of the Narrative Lab at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts] and friend of Leary [Rushkoff’s other friends including Ralph Metzner, Robert Anton Wilson, Terrence McKenna and Paul Krassner], enables an experience similar to psychedelic drugs [no doubt including its ability to alter the brain chemistry of computer users]… Pursuing such experiences in cyberspace has been dubbed technoshamanism… Cyberspace is becoming a new sacred realm of exploration and enlightenment…” – p.200 UFOs: Friend, Foe or Fantasy by William R. Goetz, 1997 A.D. For more information see Rushkoff’s book Cyberia [1994 A.D.] which discusses the concept of a global brain as put forth in Gaia theory which theorizes that organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings to form a multifaceted complex system) (**Pertinent Quote: “The alchemists of olden time were spiritually enlightened… They sought to perfect all phases of man — his body, his mind, and his spirit… It was their belief that man is indefinitely perfectible… ‘Art [by definition, creation by human endeavor] perfects what nature began.’ Man and all the gross and subtle constituents of nature are capable of being brought to a state of infinite perfection. But nature unaided fails to achieve this perfection. Evolution may ultimately succeed, though the time factor seems so preposterously slow when one watches through recorded history, the cumbersome, the appallingly slow, progress of mankind. So the alchemists sought to intervene by their art — to speed up the process of growth and evolution, and so to aid God’s work.” – p.141 An Interview with Israel Regardie, 1985 A.D. As Israel Regardie’s colleague Timothy Leary explains in the Introduction to LSD: The Consciousness Expanding Drug [1964 A.D.]: “Many philosophers—[Gerald] Heard, [the Jesuit priest] Teilhard de Chardin and [Martin] Heidegger, among others—have pointed out that human evolution seems to be characterized by alterations in consciousness…” and individuals such as Timothy Leary, Gerald Heard and their colleagues would seek the evolutionary “expansion of consciousness” by means of alchemically-created pharmaceutical drugs: “…pharmacology provides new means for altering consciousness [and therewith promoting human evolutionary change], for propelling us into new dimensions of awareness.” Megalomania ran rampant in this magically misled age. And still yet does. The chemical composition of many alchemically-produced processed foods today appears occultly geared towards a chemistry-induced evolutionary change in humanity as well. And ditto for GMOs)

Students, ask your aged Philosophy, Psychiatry, Anthropology, Sociology and Comparative Religion professors about their experiences during the acid soaked ’60s. They might even be holding. As W.E. Butler (a Spiritualist medium [and co-founder with Society of the Inner Light-member Gareth Knight of the Servants of the Light (SOL) magic order circa 1965 A.D. (Gareth Knight would in 1983 A.D. publish a book entitled The Secret Tradition in Arthurian 554

Legend: The Magical and Mystical Power Sources within the Mysteries of Britain); according to the SOL website W.E. Butler had studied under Theosophical Society president Annie Besant in India] whose formal training was within the Theosophical Society-associated Spiritualist Liberal Catholic Church and who later became a member of Theosophical Society-member Dion Fortune’s Society of the Inner Light [itself created with the avowed intention of reinstating the Ancient Mysteries], all of which organizations are quite active today [Dion Fortune, a one-time member of the Stella Matutina, formed this society after leaving Moina Mathers’ (sister of Henri Bergson and wife of then deceased Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader S.L. MacGregor Mathers. It was under Moina Mathers that Dion Fortune had served her magical apprenticeship [See p.123 The Golden Dawn Scrapbook]) Rosicrucian Order of the Alpha et Omega (as one of the competing factions of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, composed of those individuals who had remained loyal to its Grand Master S.L. MacGregor Mathers, was at that time named)], and who authored a number of books on the New Age subjects of magic and Kabala) in his book The Magician, His Training and Work (1959 A.D.) illuminates: “In the accounts of the witchcraft trials of the Middle Ages and later, the use of ointments to produce supernormal results is mentioned. Such ointments (the recipes of several are known) usually contained drugs which have a strong effect on the heart and nervous system, as well as producing hallucinatory effects. The use of such drugs is as old as humanity.” Fumigants are also employed during magic rituals. As occultist Richard Cavendish explains: “It is significant that many of the substances recommended for burning in operations of sorcery give off fumes likely to cause stupor, hallucinations or delirium – hemlock, henbane, black hellebore, Indian hemp, opium, all of which are powerful narcotics. One formula for summoning devils requires the burning of coriander, hemlock, parsley, liquor of black poppy, fennel, sandalwood and henbane. Fumes from burning henbane can cause convulsions and temporary insanity.” – p.243 The Black Arts (1967 A.D.). As Rollo Ahmed, a leader of his own British witchcraft coven similarly explains: “The incense and fumigations that the ancient magicians employed included among them several powerful drugs and narcotics… The fumes from these substances…most certainly produced hallucinations…” – The Black Art p.155 (1936 A.D.). No doubt he was talking from personal experience. Indeed: “The New Forest coven [of witches, of which Gerald B. 555

Gardner was a member]…used a hallucinogen, but this was fly-agaric, a common British fungi, which they took orally in extremely small doses. Fly-agaric and similar fungi [collectively known as Magic Mushrooms due to their Shamanic usage] have been used all over the world from time immemorial. It was used by the Vikings when they wished to go berserk [known as Berserkers in Dungeons and Dragons© lore] and, at the other end of the Euro-Asian land mass, by Siberian shamans to achieve trance [it is akin to the Buddhist’s Soma]. Curiously enough, it seems to have escaped the attention of the hippies in their enthusiastic pursuit of psychedelic-experience probably fortunately for them, for the essential alkaloid is extremely toxic, samples of the fungus vary widely in their potency, and the unwary user can very easily wind up on a mortuary slab.” See also pp.103-104 Sex Magic by Paschal Beverly Randolph for his very own private recipe and the detailed alchemical preparation for the “stimulant powders” he employed during his sex-magic rituals whose main ingredients included poppies, hashish, henbane, belladonna (Devil’s Weed) and marijuana. In 1910 A.D. Aleister Crowley along with Victor Neuburg and his Scarlet Woman (HighPriestess/Austrian violinist) Leila Waddell publicly performed the Rite of Eleusis Greek mysteries magick ceremony at Craxton Hall in England serving hallucinogenic magic mushrooms to his assembled audience (and this in accordance with archaic Greek magic traditions: “Plato, like Aristotle after him, was initiated into the venerable entheogenic Mysteries of Eleusis… entheogenic shamanism is…at the heart of what we have come to call Greek philosophy. Sophists and philosophers were…all shaman priests… Western civilization was profoundly influenced by a secret spiritual practice that revolved around the use of entheogenic plants and mushrooms to usher transcendent states of consciousness.” – Mushrooms, Myth and Mithras). Many stage performances theatrical in nature are ritualistic in reality (one case in point, as Aleister Crowley’s former secretary Israel Regardie who explains in his book Ceremonial Magic that the Greek playwright Euripides’ play The Bacchae may be “employed satisfactorily” [which is to say, may be performed] as a magic ritual. The ‘play’ as a genre has a religious origin: “The dramatic ritual which the Egyptians performed for the [magical] invocation of Osiris at Abydos [Abydos in Egypt being the cult center for the worship of Osiris where the celebration of the Osirion mysteries were staged in the Osireon located within the New Kingdom temple constructed by Pharoah Seti I] was a play [known as the Mysteries of Osiris] which seems to have consisted of eight acts.” – p.226 The Tree of Life by Israel Regardie. Related to these are what is formally known as the Mystery Plays (liturgical dramas such as the Passion Play, an Easter pageant depicting the Passion of Christ, his trial, suffering and death by crucifixion: “In the ‘mystery plays,’ the crucifixion is the result of a conspiracy in which the Jews and Satan are partners…” [in accordance with Luke 22:2-4] – p.217 Fallen Angels: The Soldiers of Satan’s Realm by Bernard J. Bamberger, 1952 A.D.) and the French Anti-Christ Plays in which women, often of Jewish persuasion, give themselves/or have been given to Satan in an effort to mother the Anti-Christ of The Bible, often in an effort to attain the destruction of Christianity (See The Devil and the Jews by Rabbi Joshua Trachtenberg, 1943 A.D.). Theaters themselves have traditionally been very magical places: “THEATRE: From Greek: ‘A place for seeing’ thea 556

and thauma/thaomal (compare to ‘thelema’), ‘wonder’ or ‘magic,’ devoted to mysteries and initiations.” – The Magician’s Dictionary by E.E. Rehmus. The rituals of all such ancient Mystery religions were completely theatrical in character, these mysteries being commonly played out in the form of a ‘drama.’ In fact: “Drama began as a shamanic experience… The great playwrights [of the Graeco-Roman world] themselves appear to have composed their dramas in a state of shamanic trance and possession [their works thusly being wrought through automatic-writing practices through the summoning of a magical muse].” – Prelude to Mushrooms, Myth and Mithras and indeed, the two masks commonly associated with Drama representing both ‘Comedy’ and ‘Tragedy’ were symbols of two Greek Muses [daemons]). A later public performance of the Rites of Eleusis in London circa 1914 A.D. included Aleister Crowley’s administration to those illustriously assembled of what he termed an “Elixir of the Gods,” a magic potion composed of white wine mixed with the entheogenic psychedelic drug mescaline. It was also in this tradition that Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger staged a Crowley invocation ritual for the Autumnal Equinox in 1967 A.D. at the Straight Theater in the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco including a performance by fellow Church of Satan-attendee Bobby Beausoleil’s band The Magick Powerhouse of Oz [See Interviews With Bobby Beausoleil 1998-9 by Michael Moynihan for Seconds© Magazine] whereat LSD was served as the ritual sacrament (sitting in the balcony for this no doubt Church of Satansponsored event was none other than Church of Satan high-priest Anton LaVey [See Lucifer, Arisen, 2004 A.D. by SF Weekly News]). Ceremonial magician G.I. Gurdjieff had himself begun staging the ‘Sacred Dances’ of the Sufi whirling dervishes under whom he had studied magic live on-stage at the Tbilisi Opera House beginning in 1919 A.D. and was the creater of an operatic ballet entitled The Struggle of the Magicians. Additionally, S.L. Macgregor Mathers’ own Egyptian magic rituals called The Rites of Isis (largely consisting of readings from the Egyptian Book of the Dead) were publically staged as ritual dramas at the Theatre Bodiniere on the Rue Saint-Lazare in France in 1898 A.D. in collaboration with occultist Henri Antoine Jules-Bois [See p.109 The Golden Dawn Scrapbook]. Staged magic rituals have in fact quite the long storied history and would even take the form of modern day rock concerts as Kenneth Anger’s Autumnal Equinox staged magic ritual concert event so attests. And there can be no doubt that Marianne Faithful’s own scheduled performance at the Bacchus Temple during the Baalbeck International Music Festival in 2013 A.D. will prove to be a very magical event as well) (In a related note: “Robert Cochrane (26 January 1931 - 3 July 1966), who was born as Roy Bowers, was an English Neopagan witch who founded the tradition known as Cochrane’s Craft… In 1966, he committed ritual suicide [on Midsummer Day. Midsummer Day is one of the Great Sabbats of witchcraft].” – Wikipedia: Robert Cochrane. Robert Cochrane’s coven of witches called the ‘Cult of Tubal Cain’ included Doreen Valiente, one-time Wicca high-priestess in Gerald B. Gardner’s very own Bricket Wood Coven [into which coven of witches she had been initiated by Gerald B. Gardner in 1953 A.D.]. Cochrane was in the habit of consuming hallucinogenic drug concoctions he called ‘witches potions.’ As previously noted, witch’s potions were often hallucinogenic in nature, and oft times they were deadly poisonous. Another of Robert Cochrane’s ‘Cult of Tubal Cain’ members of note was Shaman/witch Joseph Bearwalker Wilson, founder of the 1734 Tradition of witchcraft and founding-member of the Wicca umbrella organization known as the Covenant of the Goddess who would later be outed as a "secret agent" working for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. In order to highlight the involvement of members of the military in witchcraft [as well as in stage magic and psychology], one case in point is British Major Charles Cardell who was associated with Gerald B. Gardner’s aforementioned Bricket Wood Coven and who is actually credited with coining the term ‘Wicca.’ One of the Major’s other notable friends was Raymond Howard, founder of the Coven of Atho. After his stint in the army where he served mainly in India, Charles Cardell would go on to become a stage conjurer/magician and would also serve as a psychologist who specialized during the 1950s and 1960s in treating patients who had experienced adverse psychological effects during the course of their own devious witchcraft practices (such individuals were in the 557

words of British ceremonial magician Francis King, “victims of demons” who “had opened themselves voluntarily to satanic forces by…engaging in witchcraft” [See Witchcraft and Demonology]). The demons can and will get in your head, and as such demonic possession is typically diagnosed as schizophrenia.

Enter Psychedelic Ranger Michael Bowen. As we learn from Acid Dreams: “…(Michael) Bowen had fallen under the singular and charismatic influence of a mysterious guru-type figure named John Starr Cooke (John Starr Cooke, an American Intelligence-associated ‘friend’ of British Intelligence officer/G.I. Gurdjieff-disciple John G. Bennett, had spent a number of years in Algiers studying magic with a Sufi [read: with a Yezidi devil-worshipping] magic-practicing sect before he relocated to Haight-Ashbury in the early 1960s, his shaved head denoting his Sufi magic-practicing adeptship. Later John Starr Cooke would move his magic operations to Mexico likely as part of The Brotherhood of Eternal Love’s drug trafficking pipeline; drug trafficking and magic practices go hand in occult hand due to the Shamanic nature of entheogens. Like his friend John G. Bennett, John Starr Cooke was intimately involved with the Subud spiritualist movement. It is quite likely John Starr Cooke is related to WWII OSS officer Cornelius Vander Starr [the uncle of U.S. President Bill Clinton’s friend Kenneth Starr], founder of the AIG insurance group [former U.S. ambassador/CIA agent Frank G. Wisner, the son of Allen Dulles’ CIA London station chief Frank Wisner served on the board of AIG as well, a testament to AIG’s CIA associations [as revealed by L.A. police investigator/whistleblower Michael C. Rupert in a Nexus© magazine article entitled Wall Street, CIA and the Global Drug Trade, 2001 A.D., AIG was involved in CIA drug money laundering efforts. AIG itself was the recipient of a massive government bailout in the aftermath of the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008 A.D.]; it was AIG’s London office (located on Curzon Street in the Mayfair district of London [also the home of the 2012 A.D. world economic pillarshaking $6.2 Billion+ ‘London Whale’ J.P. Morgan Chase derivatives loss as many private residences in Mayfair have since been converted into corporate offices, hedge fund headquarters and foreign embassy buildings] situated near the former headquarters of Britain’s postWWII MI5 operations) which was ground zero for the 2008 A.D. financial meltdown in America. Another entity at the heart of the economic meltdown in America was the Lehman Bros. investment 558

bank (at one point in time Lehman Bros. had been owned in part by Sir William Wiseman, 10th Baronet, a British Intelligence agent under the command of SIS [MI6] director Mansfield Smith-Cumming), a banking enterprise with which the Kuhn Loeb investment bank (a bank with well known CIA connections), banking partners of William Rockefeller, had merged (creating Lehman Brothers, Kuhn, Loeb Inc.] and the philanthropic Starr Foundation (of an interesting note, many OSS recruits had in fact been taken from the ranks of oil companies [such as the Rockefeller-owned Standard Oil company] and from Wall Street banking firms). The Dulles-associated Rockefeller Foundation [CIA head Allen Dulles’ brother John Foster Dulles has served as a Rockefeller Foundation trustee] is a major benefactor of funds distributed by Cornelius Vander Starr’s Starr Foundation, as is the Council on Foreign Relations [CFR]. Allen Dulles, his brother John Foster Dulles and Starr Foundation president Florence Davis had all worked at Sullivan & Cromwell, an international law firm headquartered in New York [Sullivan & Cromwell it is imperative to note played a key role in the creation of Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison’s Edison General Electric Company (incorporated in 1889 A.D. in New York and backed financially by financier J.P. Morgan and the fabulously wealthy Vanderbilt family, it was one of the original 12 companies listed on the newly formed Dow Jones Industrial Average. Thomas Edison’s business partner in this endeavor was fellow inventor/Union Army Colonel Edward Hibberd Johnson [amongst Edward Hibberd Johnson’s own collaborators was Thomas A. Scott, President Abraham Lincoln’s Civil War-era Assistant Secretary of War], a protegѐ of Union Army General William Jackson Palmer, a President Abraham Lincoln appointee who was likewise involved in the building of railroads) today widely known as General Electric (GE) which was during the 1960s one of the nine major computer corporations in operation in America]. Note that the 2008 A.D. financial meltdown in America took place under the presidential watch of U.S. President George W. Bush, the son of a former CIA director/U.S. president/Yale Skull and Bones-member George H.W. Bush, a financial meltdown entirely perpetrated by financial entities with extensive CIA associations. This certainly explains the lack of prosecutions of the individuals involved therewith. Hmmm… Makes you wonder who was on the winning side of those trades? And whether or not the collapse itself was officially orchestrated as well). A man of wealth and influential family 559

connections (John Starr Cooke was the youngest son of Yale grad Clarence Hyde Cooke [an heir to the Castle & Cooke** fortune (**which through various mergers would become the Dole Food Company)]), Cooke was no stranger to high-level CIA personnel. His sister, Alice, to whom he was very close, was married to Roger Kent (John Starr Cooke lived with his sister Alice [who was herself responsible for the 1977 A.D. posthumous release of John Starr Cooke’s occult-themed film The Prophecy of the Royal Maze highlighting John Starr Cooke’s ‘The New Tarot’ tarot deck and the new teachings for the New Age supposedly to be garnered therefrom] along with her husband Roger Kent [the Kent family itself is related to Hell Fire Club-founding member Sir Francis Dashwood by marriage] prior to his moving to Carmel, CA in 1958 A.D. Roger Kent was the son of Chicago-born Yale University grad/ Yale Skull and Bonesmember William Kent, a three-time U.S. congressman for California (John Starr Cooke was himself the brother of Yale Skull and Bonesmember Francis Judd Cooke). A one-time General Consul for the U.S. Department of Defense, Roger Kent had served as a Naval officer during WWII which places him within the Naval Intelligence camp), a prominent figure in the California state Democratic party; Roger’s brother, Sherman Kent, was head of the CIA’s National Board of Estimates (aka Office of National Estimates, or ONE; curiously enough, the name of the church John Starr Cooke would establish in 1967 A.D. was named The Church of ONE [per Cooke, ONE = ‘the Great Architect of the Universes’ (a reference to the Freemasonic Great Architect [who is Azazel] with whom Cooke was in contact via Ouija board [the transcripts of which would be published in a 1974 A.D. book entitled The Word of One. These sessions, over a hundred in number, would begin as group Spiritualist séances held at John Starr Cooke’s home in the Carmel Highlands area near Carmel, CA located on the Monterey Peninsula, and Cooke would later continue these sessions at his new found home in Mexico]. For more information see The San Francisco Oracle #9. Cooke’s article appears in this particular issue because Cooke’s associate Andrija Puharich, an MKULTRA research scientist, was himself in contact with entities composing what he called the Council of Nine, a group of extraterrestrial beings claiming to be the Great Ennead of Heliopolis, a pantheon of nine ancient Egyptian divinities)]) (an extremely powerful position) and served as CIA director Allen Dulles’s right-hand man during the Cold War (MKULTRA creator Allen Dulles was the OSS 560

station chief [top spy] in Berne, Switzerland at the time LSD was being formulated at Sandoz Labs there in the Illuminati bastion of Switzerland [Pertinent Quote: “The world headquarters of the O.T.O. are alleged to be in Switzerland.”** – p.119 The Anatomy of Witchcraft by Peter Haining, 1972 A.D. (**The world headquarters of the OTO is located there in Berne, Switzerland where Allen Dulles held sway. H.J. Metzger of the Swiss OTO had in fact been named as Karl Germer’s successor upon Germer’s death in 1962 A.D.)]; it was CIA head Allen Dulles who instituted MKULTRA, and no doubt John Starr Cooke’s activities were thereby officially sanctioned, even perhaps as part of an MKULTRA Subproject. During WWII, Switzerland had been a major Intelligence hub which employed Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung’s organization as a front for OSS Intelligence operations: “During the war [WWII] Jung spun a web for intelligence-gathering and influence from his Swiss base… one of [Carl] Jung’s disciples and agents was Boston Brahmin Mary Bancroft [the Bancroft family, which traces its American roots to the Massachussetts Bay Colony arriving there in 1632 A.D., are the former owners of Dow Jones & Company, publishers of the Wall Street Journal], who was at the same time an official agent of the U.S. Office of Strategic Services [for more info see Autobiography of a Spy by Mary Bancroft] and the mistress of Allen Dulles. Allen Dulles was then running OSS operations in Switzerland.” – p.564 Treason in America (For more information on Carl Jung’s role as an OSS agent, see Jung: A Biography by Deirdre Bair). Mary Bancroft [a friend of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and of his brother Robert Kennedy] is a descendent of Revolutionary War spy Edward Bancroft (Edward Bancroft served as a spy in the employ of Hellfire Club-member Benjamin Franklin, an associate fo Sir Francis Dashwood to whom the Kents are related by marriage), a Fellow of the Royal Society who was as was later discovered a British double agent, and who is also related to former U.S. Secretary of the Navy/U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. George Bancroft. In the Illuminati world, spydom like witchcraft is hereditary in nature, and the two pursuits so frequently overlap. OSS agent Carl Jung as the reader shall later discover was in essence a modern day witch). John Cooke hobnobbed with Sherman Kent (“Sherman Kent, (December 6, 1903 - March 11, 1986), was a Yale University history professor [Yale and other university history and linguistics professors including those employed by Harvard played a crucial roll in the creation/staffing of the OSS and the CIA (no less than seven Harvard history professors including 561

Sherman Kent would serve in the OSS. Many OSS historians would like George Bancroft before them go on to serve as presidents of the American Historical Association, founded in 1884 A.D. which was headquartered in Washington, D.C. Amongst the list of AHA presidents is Harvard grad/Carnegie Institute/UNESCO founding delegate Waldo Gifford Leland) and nobody highlights this fact better than Sherman Kent himself] who, during World War II [Sherman Kent served in the OSS during WWII] and through 17 years of Cold Warera service in the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA], pioneered many of the methods of intelligence analysis. He is often described as ‘the father of intelligence analysis.’” – Wikipedia: Sherman Kent. Yale and Harvard were at the center of George Washington’s Intelligence network as well) at annual family reunions (the Kent family mansion is located in Kentfield, CA) and is said to have made the acquaintance of a number of CIA operatives (perhaps John Starr Cooke was employed as a courier if not in fact serving as a fullblown CIA agent himself) while traveling in Europe. Driven by an avid interest in the occult, Cooke journeyed around the world befriending an assortment of mystics and spiritual teachers (one of whom was the aforementioned British Intelligence agent John G. Bennet. This is a typical background for those involved in MKULTRA, they being assigned to travel abroad in order to gather anthropological-type information on various magic practices; more often than not the CIA/Intelligence operative and the mystic/spiritual teacher were like British Intelligence agent John G. Bennett one and the very same, having studied at the foot of a master and becoming [Overshadowed] gurus in their very own rights). In the early 1950s he (John Starr Cooke) became a close confidant of L. Ron Hubbard (L. Ron Hubbard, a Naval Intelligence officer, was a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge headed by the magic-practicing British Intelligence agent Aleister Crowley), the ex-navy officer who founded the Scientology organization. Cooke rose high in the ranks of the newly formed religious cult (He was the first ‘clear’ in America, meaning he had attained the level of an advanced Scientology initiate) (note this OSS/CIA/Naval Intelligence/OTO/Church of Scientology/Subud Movement association. John Starr Cooke’s forbears were ardent Theosophical Society members. One of John Starr Cooke’s most notable students was Peter Max Oser, a greatgrandson of John D. Rockefeller and a member of the fabulously wealthy McCormick family; John Starr Cooke would steal away and marry Peter Max Oser’s wife Mary in 1952 A.D.)…While the Haight 562

(Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco) was in its heyday (during the 1960s), Cooke was sequestered at a secluded outpost in Cuernavaca (at Tepotzlan, said to be the magical center of Mexico and home to numerous witch’s covens), Mexico (his home until he died in 1976), from whence he directed a small but dedicated band of acid (LSD) evangelists known as the Psychedelic Rangers. Michael Bowen was a member of this group (this brands Michael Bowen as being an Intelligence asset as well). At Cooke’s instruction a half-dozen (Psychedelic) Rangers were dispatched to various psychedelic hot spots in North America and Europe. Bowen (one of John Starr Cooke’s Psychedelic Rangers) went to Millbrook (to CIA/MKULTRA psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s Castalia Foundation in New York) to try and influence the thinking of (Timothy) Leary’s clan and lure some of them back to Mexico where Cooke was leading séances (via Ouija board) while high on acid (LSD). Among those who are said to have visited the crippled psychic (Timothy Leary once called Cooke “the great crippled wizard”) were Ralph Metzner (a colleague of Timothy Leary who worked with Leary performing various CIA MKULTRA experiments. It was here in Cuernavaca where Leary is said to have first ingested magic mushrooms in 1960 A.D. [See The LSD Story by John Cashman]), (Jewish poet, musician and) songwriter Leonard Cohen (a resident of Hotel Chelsea, a virtual bastion of the OTO. Leonard Cohen was a fringe figure in the Andy Warhol ‘Factory’ crowd who had famously romanced Janis Joplin [this being the subject of Cohen’s song Chelsea Hotel No.2]. Notable Leonard Cohen Quote: “I had a very Messianic childhood… I was told I was a descendent of Aaron, the high priest [of The Bible].” – Crawdaddy© Magazine, March 1975 A.D. [William S. Burroughs was a featured columnist in this magazine]. As occultist Nigel Jackson explains: “…members of the Cohen family [from the Hebrew ‘kohen,’ a member of the Levite priestly class with direct patrilineal descent from the Biblical high-priest Aaron, the brother of Moses]…have served as priests of the temple and rabbis for centuries.” – p.201 The Pillars of Tubal Cain), Andrija Puharich (Puharich was a UFO-contactee [as well as a known associate of Aldous Huxley] who was himself immersed in in-depth Shamanic studies under MKULTRA auspices alongside MKULTRA-head Dr. Sidney Gottlieb), who conducted parapsychology and drug experiments (including the use of entheogenic magic mushrooms and LSD to enhance ones psychic Extra Sensory Perception as part of an MKULTRA Subproject) for the US military in the late 1950s (Andrija 563

Puharich, author of the book entitled The Sacred Mushroom: Key to the Door of Eternity [1959 A.D.], was an Army Intelligence officer who worked at the U.S. Army Chemical Center in Edgewood, Maryland, a hotbed of MKULTRA activity. It would appear John Starr Cooke’s group was involved in an MKULTRA parapsychological research Subproject, quite possibly likewise involved in channeling The Nine—Puharich had been channeling this group of extraterrestrials for years beginning in 1952 A.D.), and Seymour (‘The Head’) Lazare (a director of the infamous Geneva, Switzerland-based Investors Overseas Services money laundering outfit), a wealthy business associate of William Mellon Hitchcock (William Mellon Hitchcock was a broker for the Meyer Lansky mafia syndicate; Meyer Lansky, known as ‘The Mob’s Accountant,’ was a lifelong friend of Psychedelic Ranger Michael Bowen’s mother’s lover, the mobster Bugsy Siegel, and was literally a partner in crime of Charles ‘Lucky’ Luciano. During the Prohibition years, Michael Bowen’s father Dr. Sterling Bowen, working his way through college, worked for Chicago mobster Bugs Moran picking up cases of whiskey illicitly shipped from Canada [apparently by Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.’s crew] across the Great Lakes for delivery to Chicago [the Cooke’s and the Kennedy’s have long been friends since the days of American novelists John P. Kennedy (a Whig party politician/friend of William Makepeace Thackeray who served as U.S. Secretary of the Navy from 1852 – 1853 A.D. [Thackeray’s friend, Edwin de Leon, was leader of the Carbonari’s Young America Youth Movement group]) and Philip Pendleton Cooke (Philip Pendleton Cooke was the brother of Confederate officer John Esten Cooke who served as an aide to Confederate Major-General J.E.B. Stuart)]. Concerning mobster Meyer Lansky: “During World War II, Lansky was…instrumental in helping the Office of Naval Intelligence’s Operation Underworld, in which the US government recruited criminals to watch out for German infiltrators and submarine-borne saboteurs. According to Lucky Luciano’s authorized biography, during this time, Lansky helped arrange a deal with the U.S. Government via a high-ranking U.S. Navy official [one Commander Charles R. Haffenden of the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) Third Naval District in New York (it was in 1941 A.D., as we learn from Barefaced Messiah, that John Starr Cooke’s friend L. Ron Hubbard was himself posted to this very same Headquarters, Third Naval District, in New York, where he received training as a Naval Intelligence officer whereafter he was 564

posted to Headquarters Twelfth Naval District in San Francisco, CA)]. This deal would secure the release of Lucky Luciano from prison; in exchange the Italian Mafia would provide security for the war ships that were being built along the docks in New York Harbor.” – Wikipedia: Meyer Lansky (A number of Beatnik poets including William S. Burrough’s poet/friend Harold Norse [Harold Norse was a friend of the Meyer Lansky-associated Beatnik poet Gregory Corso and of Gregory Corso’s friend Michael McClure, himself a friend of Michael Bowen] were earlier employed in these WWII naval construction efforts [See Memories of a Bastard Angel]). Apparently this partnership was never dissolved. William ‘Billy’ Mellon Hitchcock was connected to The Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization (with which Timothy Leary was associated) and to Tim Scully who manufactured The Brotherhood of Eternal Love’s notorious ‘Orange Sunshine’ acid as well as other brands of LSD from 1966 -1969 A.D. for which offense he was criminally indicted in 1973 A.D. and convicted in 1974 A.D. Tim Scully had first met Billy Hitchcock through the LSD chemist Owsley Stanley (Owsley was himself the son of a naval commander); Tim Scully had served as an alchemical apprentice to Owsley Stanley and the pair had in fact worked closely together in the manufacturing of Owsley’s LSD. As we learn from Dealing in Death: The CIA and the Drugs Trade, Hitchcock had served as banker for The Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization for which group he maintained an account with Castle Bank (John Starr Cooke was grandson of Castle & Cooke heiress Mary Tenney Castle, daughter of Castle & Cooke co-founder Samuel Northrup Castle [a member of the Northrup family—note there were two female members of the Northrup family who along with L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Parson’s were prominent members of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge], father of William Richards Castle who was among the group of coconspirators who would overthrow the Hawaiian ruling monarchy resulting in its later annexation and eventual American statehood. The Cooke family themselves are descended from Revolutionary War officer Joseph Platt Cooke—as we learn from Wikipedia: “In 1781 his home served as a meeting place for George Washington and the French military leaders, the Comte de Rochambeau and [Carbonarimember] the Marquis de la Fayette.” The Cookes indeed have quite the Illuminati/Carbonari connection. Another Cooke forebear, Elisha Cooke, Jr., was a close associate of Samuel Adams Sr. whose son Samuel Adams was founder of the Sons of Liberty secret society most 565

of whose members would themselves join General George Washington’s revolutionary Continental Army. Note everyone’s common propensity for overthrowing governments—this [along with wars and assassinations] is the trademark of the Illuminati/Carbonari groups) in the Bahamas which had been set up by the CIA as a front for covert narcotics and money laundering operations (money which was then covertly used to arm the Nicaraguan Contras in an attempt to overthrow the government in Nicaragua during Ronald Reagan’s presidency during which time former CIA head George H.W. Bush served as Vice-President). CIA agent Ronald Stark would later replace William ‘Billy’ Mellon Hitchcock within this hierarchy (William ‘Billy’ Mellon Hitchcock’s father, Tommy Hitchcock, Jr., was a partner in the aforementioned CIA-associated Lehman Bros. banking enterprise, he being a friend/polo partner of Robert Lehman who played on the same polo team as the CIA-associated W. Averill Harriman [alongside U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. John Hay Whitney (a Yale University grad/Scroll and Key member and close personal friend of actor Vincent Price, mentor to actor Dennis Hopper whose father, Jay Hopper, had been a member along with L. Ron Hubbard of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge), himself a descendent of John Whitney, a Puritan colonist arriving in Massachusetts in 1635 A.D. John Hay Whitney’s father, Payne Whitney (Payne Whitney was married to the daughter of the former U.S. Ambassador to the U.K.), was a nephew of Yale attendee Col. Oliver Hazard Payne [whose own brother-in-law served as U.S. Secretary of the Navy; Payne was the uncle of Republican Congresswoman Francis Payne Bolton, a close associate of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles (brother of CIA chief Allen Dulles) who with Andrijah Puharich’s psychic partner, Irish Spiritualist medium Eileen J. Garrett, had previously in 1951 A.D. founded the Parapsychology Foundation in New York City devoted to “the scientific study of psychic phenomenon” (serving as Director of which was psychical researcher Gardner Murphy, a Harvard grad who had previously served as APA president [1944 A.D.], serving as well as president of the Society for Psychical Research [1949 A.D.]. Stanley Krippner and J.B. Rhine [founder of the Parapsychology Association which under the direction of Margaret Meade in 1969 A.D. became affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science] were amongst Gardner Murphy’s notable associates); the Paynes are related by marriage to Hellfire Clubmember Benjamin Franklin], a business partner of John D. Rockefeller 566

who were both associated with the Standard Oil company, and Oliver Hazzard Payne had also assisted in the creation of J.P. Morgan’s U.S. Steel corporation [the first president of which was Charles M. Schwab; U.S. Steel was granted antitrust immunity by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1907 A.D., thusly becoming a major U.S. defense contractor]. The Hitchcock family is likewise descended from a colonist named William Hitchcock who first settled in Massachusetts in 1635 A.D., the Whitneys and the Hitchcocks likely arriving upon the very same ship], a man with extensive CIA associations. It was Lehman Bros. that had previously provided the financing for the 1928 A.D. Keith-Albee-Orpheum theater group deal which ultimately led to the creation of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.’s RKO motion picture studio). The MKULTRA CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary also notably enough was closely associated with The Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization—it was William ‘Billy’ Mellon Hitchcock who owned the Millbrook estate where Timothy Leary had lorded over his very own LSD court (“The Millbrook estate, which includes a baroque and musty old 64-room mansion, was rented to the foundation [to Timothy Leary’s Castalia Foundation] by young millionaire investment banker William Hitchcock, a financial backer of Leary’s who admits to using LSD.” – The LSD Story by John Cashman, 1966 A.D.). Leary’s group and Cooke’s group were in fact quite intimately interconnected, even working together as the evidence would suggest as part of one very large CIA-operated drug trafficking organization (another Mellon family heir of note was Psychedelic Ranger Michael Bowen’s New York friend Margaret “Peggy” Mellon Hitchcock [it was she who is said to have supplied Michael Bowen with the money to buy the daisy’s employed at the ‘March on the Pentagon’ which were then placed in the soldier’s rifles thus resulting in an iconic 1960s image] who was married to Walter Bowart, a friend of Timothy Leary [Peggy Mellon was one of the main sources of financial support for Timothy Leary’s IFIF/Castalia Foundation organization. Peggy was the daughter of millionaire polo player Tommy Hitchcock (See The LSD Story by John Cashman), a good friend of August Belmont, Jr. whose own father had various ties to individuals associated with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order. Timothy Leary was indeed during the course of his MKULTRA research as he states in his book Flashbacks “…carrying on much of the work that he (Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley) started over a hundred years ago…”]. Bowart was co-founder of: “…the East Village Other 567

(EVO). EVO offered a newsprint medium for the rants, artwork, poetry and comics of such 1960s icons as Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, Abbie Hoffman, Robert Crumb, Marshall McLuhan, Spain Rodriguez, and The Fugs.**” – Wikipedia: Walter Bowart. **Ed Sanders, author of The Family, was lyricist/vocalist for The Fugs, a Beat era poet/underground filmmaker who owned the Peace Eye Bookshop in East Village. The Fugs also included Beat poet Tuli Kupferberg and I believe it is certainly telling as to the possible Intelligence associations with this band that Fugs bandmember Steve Taylor would later serve as Allan Ginsberg’s teaching assistant at Naropa Institute in Colorado which itself as we shall learn had/has extensive Intelligence associations). The Mellon family itself had quite extensive OSS associations. As we learn from Treason in America pp. pp.564-5: “The London OSS bureau was run by David K.E. Bruce an employee and protégée of (W.) Averell Harriman from the 1920s… Bruce was the husband of a Pittsburgh Mellon heiress [namely, Aisla Mellon, daughter of U.S. Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon]. Allen Dulles had been the lawyer for the Mellons’ big international oil ventures and Sullivan and Cromwell [an international law firm headquartered in New York in which Allen Dulles’ brother John Foster Dulles was a partner] took over the management of the entire Mellon family fortune after Carl Jung [whose institute in Switzerland had acted as an OSS front] psychoanalyzed Paul Mellon and his wife in Switzerland.” [Paul Mellon, son of U.S. Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon (founder of the modern-day Hermetic Mellon Institute of Industrial Research alchemical lab in Pittsburgh, PA, the architectural design of which is a neoclassical Greek temple), was known to have been an OSS agent himself. Paul Mellon was a long-time neighbor of W. Averill Harriman and Paul Mellon’s son-in-law, David K.E. Bruce, a U.S. Ambassador to Britain, had worked in the Prescott Bush-associated firm W.A. Harriman & Co. during the late 1920s, serving as head of the OSS London branch of U.S. Intelligence during WWII]. Paul Mellon and his wife Mary Mellon were early sponsors of Jungian psychology in America, they being the prime benefactors of the Bollingen Foundation, publisher of the collective works of Carl Jung [who like himself had served as an OSS agent under Allen Dulles], often referred to as the “founding father of the New Age.” The Bollingen Foundation’s Bollingen Prize from 1948-1949 A.D. was used to funnel money through the Library of Congress (which in the pre-internet age was a prime source for CIA information gathering 568

activities) to CIA-associated poets including T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden and Ezra Pound, all fellow Library of Congress Fellows, your tax dollars hard at work [it also awarded fellowships—poet Marrianne Moore was a Bollingen Foundation fellowship award winner]. Following a Congressional resolution in 1950 A.D., Yale University library would take over Bollingen Prize distribution duties. In 1968 A.D., the Bollingen Foundation would be subsumed into the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, itself no doubt a CIA front organization as well. As noted in George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography: “Paul Mellon was the leading heir to the Mellon fortune, and a long-time neighbor of [W.] Averell Harriman’s in Middleburg, Virginia, as well as Jupiter Island, Florida… Paul Mellon’s son-in-law, David K.E. Bruce [former U.S. Ambassador to Britain], worked in Prescott Bush’s W.A. Harriman & Co. during the late 1920s; was head of the London branch of U.S. intelligence during World War II; and was [W.] Averell Harriman’s Assistant Secretary of Commerce in 1947-48. Mellon family money and participation would be instrumental in many domestic U.S. projects of the new Central Intelligence Agency [including of course MKULTRA].”). Following Cooke’s ‘master plan’ (which it certainly would appear was an MKULTRA Subproject), the Psychedelic Rangers targeted selected individuals for high-dose LSD initiations. They employed 2,000 to 3,000 micrograms (100 to 250 micrograms is usually sufficient for a full-blown acid trip) during a single session in an effort to bring about a rapid and permanent transformation of psychological disposition (read: an evolutionary expansion of consciousness). Bowen claims he furnished acid to a number of well-known public figures, including comedian Dick Gregory (an ex-military man and U.S. government employee active in the African-American Civil Rights Movement, possibly by definition a ‘plant’; the CIA was in fact known to have infiltrated the Civil Rights movement) and Jerry Rubin, the future Yippie (Youth Movement) leader (Ditto. Jerry Rubin had co-founded the Yippies along with Allen Ginsberg and Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters-member Paul Krassner). He also turned on certain journalists (among them a reporter for Life magazine) (likely also a CIA asset under the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird) with the hope that they might see the Clear Light (a concept/term originating in The Tibetan Book of the Dead; for similar information, see also Ösel, the Yoga of the Clear Light of Tantric Buddhism. LSD users like yoga practitioners and UFO contactees and yet still others who have had similar mystical 569

experiences [including those individuals who have had a Near Death Experience (NDE)] often report encountering a bright ‘white light,’ an incidence oft times referred to as “illumination” and occultly recognized as a cognitive act of Unification [aka, Union with the All]), as it were, and present a more favorable picture of LSD in the press (the CIA was in fact using the press [including Life© Magazine] to promote LSD use particularly through the CIA’s ongoing infiltration of American and international news organizations as part of its quite extensive Operation Mockingbird project. The CIA largely controls this nation’s press even today). Cooke and his Psychedelic Rangers believed that by spreading the LSD revelation they were helping to enlighten (read: Illuminate) mankind. They fancied themselves cosmic Good Guys secretly battling the Forces of Darkness (to most practitioners of magic, and this is especially true in Sufi and Gnostic circles, the Christian God is considered to be evil and the devil, good: “Carl Jung…was a lifelong student of Gnosticism and pagan superstitions of every kind. His central religious concept was that the God of the Bible is evil...” – p.563 Treason in America) in an all-out struggle that would ultimately determine the destiny of the planet. Their world view was distinctly Manichaean: Eros versus Thanatos (it was Carl Jung’s mentor psychiatrist Sigmund Freud who postulated that the ‘Eros-Thanatos struggle’ [a classic struggle between good and evil] underlies the life of every man, a Gnostic concept also known as Dualism, the fundamental doctrine of Manichaeism. Underlying Sigmund Freud’s own psychiatric teachings are Manichaean magic principles), the great mythic showdown, with history merely the echo of these titanic opposites locked in eternal conflict (“The Manichaean system was in truth a simultaneous attack upon the Church and the State, a desperate but well-planned organization to destroy the whole fabric of society, to reduce civilization to chaos… they [Manichaeans] were the avowed enemies of law and order, red-hot anarchists who would stop at nothing to gain their ends. Terrorism and secret murder were their most frequent weapons.” – p.17 The History of Witchcraft and Demonology). In this respect their perceptions were akin to those of another group of psychedelic devotees who operated in secret (the CIA is essentially a Freemasonic state-sponsored secret society with decidedly Gnostic and Manichaean tendencies; as an example, CIA director and later American president George H.W. Bush was a 33° Freemason of the magic-practicing degrees as well as a Yale Skull and Bones secret society member) while invoking a Manichaean (read: 570

Gnostic) demonology to justify their activities. Nourished by the dual specter of an all-powerful enemy (Communism) and a permanently threatened national security, the CIA assumed the role of America’s first line of defense. In its never-ending battle against the Red Menace the cult of intelligence (the CIA) utilized every weapon at its disposal, including covert LSD warfare (as well as magical warfare, in which battle Cooke’s group was certainly front and center). In 1966 Michael Bowen (whose mother was mobster Bugsy Siegel’s mistress) settled in Haight-Ashbury (in San Francisco, CA), at the specific request of John Cooke (there, Michael Bowen, no doubt also by order of John Starr Cooke, would co-found an Underground newspaper named The San Francisco Oracle which as one might expect had promoted such an LSD lifestyle [these men had a product (LSD) for which they would make a market—true market makers in a business sense]. Not only did the CIA infiltrate established news organizations, they even founded ones of their very own). The two men communicated on a regular basis, keeping each other abreast of new developments within the burgeoning youth culture (as Michael Bowen was of course a CIA informant/spy). When the Oracle** people convened at Bowen’s pad after the Love Pageant Rally (held on the day LSD became illegal on Oct. 6. 1966 A.D. [the aforementioned Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization with which CIA psychiatrist/MKULTRA researcher Timothy Leary was associated would itself be established as a church some ten days following this date in Modjeska Canyon in Orange County], it featured music provided by Bobby Beausoleil’s band The Orkustra, Janis Joplin [who was connected to John Starr Cooke through his associate Leonard Cohen] and her band Big Brother and the Holding Company and Brotherhood of Eternal Love LSDmanufacturer Owsley Stanley’s band The Grateful Dead [Janis Joplin and Grateful Dead band-members had a close association all being part of the same socially knit group of which musician Bobby Beausoleil was a part; one very important detail is the fact Janis Joplin’s road manager was the New York-born folk singer John Byrne Cooke, the son of Cambridge/Yale/Harvard-grad Alistair Cooke [who once sat on a BBC committee headed by George Bernard Shaw, a man with extensive British Intelligence associations] and grandson of Illuminus Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson. In 1968 A.D., Alistair Cooke would be literally only a few yards away from U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy when he was assassinated (as was assassinated President Abraham Lincoln’s relative, actress Rosemary 571

Clooney, Robert Kennedy’s own personal ‘friend’ [noteably enough, Rosemary Clooney was a close friend of Bing Crosby with whom she appeared in the 1954 A.D. Michael Curtiz-directed film White Christmas]). Notice the outsized presence of Cookes being quite central to our story]; Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters’ MKULTRAinspired bus o’ psychedelic fun was of course also present at the Love Pageant Rally to make things truly festive. Ken Kesey himself is known to have been a CIA MKULTRA test subject, as were a number of members of the Owsley Stanley-founded Grateful Dead band. And of course: “The major instigators of the rally were Allen Cohen and artist Michael Bowen, the creators of the San Francisco Oracle, which first hit the streets in September 1966.” – Wikipedia: Love Pageant Rally), he (Michael Bowen) dutifully called his spiritual adviser (read also: his Intelligence agency contact) to tell him (John Starr Cooke) what had transpired. During their conversation, according to Bowen, the plan for an even bigger event was conceived: a ‘Gathering of the Tribes’ (intentionally organized as a mela, a Sanskrit word by definition indicative of a religious pilgrimage, or ‘gathering’ [See The Haight Ashbury: A History p.124]), a spiritual occasion of otherworldly dimensions that would raise the vibration of the entire planet. The Haight would host the Happening of happenings. It would be the first Human Be-In” (‘Happenings’ as defined as ‘performance art’ owing its genesis to professor John Cage [Cage taught Experimental Composition classes (1957 – 1959 A.D.) at the CIA-associated New School for Social Research in Greenwich Village] and to his student Allan Kaprow and to Kaprow’s friend, Pop artist George Segal [Kaprow had coined the word ‘happening’ in reference to a George Segal art event] which also includes the Fluxus group, an international network of artists, composers, and designers of which Yoko Ono was a part. The Diggers group should also be included in the ‘performance art’ category and Diggers events as true ‘happenings’). – pp.125-126 Acid Dreams. (** The San Francisco Oracle, co-founded by Michael Bowen [who had also served as editor for the newspaper] and American poets Allen Cohen [Allen Cohen was associated with Andy Warhol’s Factory] and Stephen Levine [born in N.Y., Stephen Levine was a close friend of psychologist Richard Alpert who himself had been involved with Timothy Leary in MKULTRA LSD research], was an underground counter-culture newspaper produced at U.S. Army veteran/Diggers-member Ron Thelin’s Psychedelic Shop located in Haight-Ashbury operating between 1966 – 1968 A.D. which in addition to promoting CIA MKULTRA psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s LSD lifestyle as trumpeted by the CIA-connected occultist John Starr Cooke and Co. featured articles written by Alan Watts [who is known to have attended OSS agent Carl Jung’s Institute in Switzerland], Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and John Starr Cooke himself amongst others including the CIA-associated Esalen Institute’s Michael Murphy and which had featured Gavin Arthur’s astrology column [another astrologer 572

featured in the Oracle was Spiritualist medium Rosalind Sharpe Wall (pen name Gayla), a member along with Michael Bowen of John Starr Cooke’s The Church of ONE founded in 1967 A.D. [Rosalind Sharpe Wall collaborated with John Starr Cooke on the creation of a system of Tarot cards entitled The New Tarot: The Tarot for the Aquarian Age (Introduction by Dr. Ralph Metzner), a product of automatic-writing purportedly dictated by the Otherworldly beings with which John Starr Cooke was in contact via Ouija board]. According to Allen Cohen, Rosalind Sharpe Wall had worked on America’s first rocket project during WWII which would seem to place her squarely within the Jack Parsons/Cal Tech/Jet Propulsion Laboratories/OTO camp]. Gavin Arthur, a merchant marineman/astrologer/author of The Circle of Sex [1966 A.D.], was the great-grandson of U.S. President Chester A. Arthur [it was under President Chester A. Arthur that the CIA-associated Foster-Dulles’ brothers’ grandfather John W. Foster served as a United States ambassador]. Gavin Arthur was a friend of sexologists Havellock Ellis [Havellock Ellis, a founding member of the Fabian Society, was an early peyote experimenter/friend of Walt Whitman, Whitman himself being a close friend of leading Fabian Society-founding member Edward Carpenter] and [OTO/Church of Satanmember Kenneth Anger’s friend] Alfred Kinsey [of a most pertinent note, Gavin Arthur was also an associate of actress Jane Mansfield, a High Priestess in the Church of Satan (See p.30 The Church of Satan by Michael A. Aquino). In 1966 A.D., the very year the Church of Satan was inaugurated, Church of Satan High Priestess/actress Jane Mansfield appeared in the film The Las Vegas Hillbillys with The Jordanaires, a band best known for having provided the vocal background for Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley in live appearances and recordings from 1956 – 1972 A.D. Elvis Presley was himself a good friend of Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis, Jr.]. As we learn from an OTO member in Turn Off Your Mind: “…(Gavin) Arthur’s biggest claim to sexual fame was the fact that as a young man he had slept with the late nineteenth-century mystic and gay activist Edward Carpenter [author of the book The Intermediate Sex (1908 A.D.) in which he puts forth the argument that homosexuals represent a new evolutionary breed in mankind’s gradual progression towards the occultly described, evolutionarily inevitable, divine human androgyne], who was then in his seventies [Edward Carpenter was an individual instrumental in the foundation of the Fabian Society composed in the main of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Theosophical Society members]. Carpenter himself had slept with the poet Walt Whitman, inspiration of Beat writers like [Jack] Kerouac and [Allen] Ginsberg… [Gavin] Arthur slept with Zen lunatic [and Ken Kesey’s Merry Prankster] Neal Cassady [Cassady had at one time shared an apartment with Allen Ginsberg], who had slept with [Jack] Kerouac and [Allen] Ginsberg (who had slept with each other), thus forming an [OTO/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] eroto-mystical chain spanning two centuries.” In the realm of sex-magic ritual, this was no small thing. This was in keeping with the Palladian Order’s sex-magic injunction that there must be a connecting link between an ‘initiated’ member of the order (which magic ‘initiation’ involves sexual intercourse both heterosexual and homosexual in nature depending upon ‘degree’) and any and all sexually initiated succeeding members (See p.87 A Manual of Sex Magick by former OTO-member Louis T. Culling [a former member of Kenneth Anger’s former neighbor Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge], 1971 A.D.). I mention this only to highlight these associations—to show these seemingly unassociated individuals were in fact a united band of buggers within an associated OTO sex-magic magic order, and this with extensive British and American Intelligence associations reaching all the way to the very top). Turn Off Your Mind p.344 describes a meeting hosted the night before this first Human Be-In: “A powwow [by definition a ‘powwow’ is a gathering of magic-practicing Shamans] was held at poet Michael McClure’s Haight-Ashbury apartment on the evening before the event, to put the finishing touches on the next day’s proceedings. Present was dharma bum Gary Snyder (who had lived for a time with Jack Kerouac [marking Snyder as a likely sexual ‘initiate’ into 573

the aforementioned magic order as well] and who had studied under Alan Watts at the American Academy of Asian Studies [also known at various times as the California Institute of Asian Studies and the California Institute of Integral Studies] which organization was essential to the creation of the Beatnik and hippie movements as well as to the founding of the Esalen Institute itself). Leonore Kandel (who famously had had a brief affair with Jack Kerouac), an old pal of Kenneth Anger, was there too… in (Kenneth Anger’s film) Invocation of My Demon Brother (a film documenting a real life magic ritual as performed by Kenneth Anger) she (Beatnik poet Leonore Kandel) shares a skull pipe with (Manson Family-member) Bobby Beausoleil (the third person sharing the skull pipe with Mr. Beausoleil and Ms. Kandel is another of Leonore Kandel’s Hell’s Angels’ boyfriends, one whom she would eventually marry, by name Bill Fritsch, aka Sweet William/Billy Tumbleweed, who had been a member of the Diggers group before he became a Hell’s Angel [note well this association between these two groups which connections were in fact quite extensive]. Bill Fritsch was one of the Hell’s Angels providing security on-stage at Altamont Free Concert and thusly appears in The Rolling Stones’ film Gimme Shelter which served to document this magico-musical event. Bill Fritsch rode to the Altamont Free Concert with Diggers-founder Emmett Grogan [Leonore Kandel and Bill Fritsch were also friends with Diggers member Peter Coyote]). Also at Altamont was Lenore’s then boyfriend, Freewheeling Frank (Reynolds), Secretary of the San Francisco Hell’s Angel chapter (members of which chapter were hired to provide security for the Altamont Free Concert), and author of some poetry himself. In a booklet of free (Hell’s) Angel poetry distributed by the Diggers, Frank had contributed a ‘Hymn to Lucifer.’” Again, note these associations. Leonore Kandel, a Beat poet and LSD guru, was one of the people who spoke live on stage at the Cooke/Bowen-sponsored Human Be-In alongside Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg and Michael McClure. Freewheelin Frank was in charge of guarding the sound truck for this event. Michael McClure and Freewheelin Frank notably enough collaborated on a book entitled Freewheelin Frank Secretary of the Hell’s Angels as Told to Michael McClure by Frank Reynolds [1967 A.D.]. And this was not their only such artistic collaboration—Michael McClure, Freewheelin Frank and a mysterious man named George Montana had even at one point in time formed a short-lived band called Cowboy Shiva) (Michael Bowen had been previously involved beginning in 1965 A.D. in Timothy Leary’s Castallia Foundation located at Millbrook in New York during which year he worked with Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, Ralph Metzner, Billy and Peggy Hitchcock, Maynard Ferguson, Seymor Hersh, Huntington Hartford, Andy Warhol and Allen Ginsberg. Bowen also spent time during 1965 A.D. ‘studying’ at the British Museum, a major British Intelligence front) The Human Be-In was a CIA-sponsored mass mind-control/brainwashing MKULTRA experiment utilizing an ancient Buddhist system of magic. The CIA-associated MKULTRA researcher/psychiatrist: “Dr. Timothy Leary (in a modern sense a Shamanic LSD magician for whom LSD served as a sacrament, and who has confessed to have been at one time “engaged in a program of experiments with LSD and other psychedelic drugs at Harvard University” where along with psychologist Richard Alpert he commenced to and I quote “french fry” the brains of Harvard attendees during official CIA-funded MKULTRA LSD experiments), was a 1960s counter-culture icon: “Leary was invited to attend the January 14, 1967 Human Be-In (a “gathering of all the [Hippie] tribes, all the communal groups,” advocates of the philosophies of Dr. Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey, ‘officially’ sponsored by the Midpenninsula Free University (as we learn from Weird Ways of Witchcraft: “The Midpenninsula Free University of California offers the following courses: Advanced Astrology, Jungian Astrology, Occult Things and The New Age, Out of the Aquarium and into the Aquarian, and the Occult and Astrology Workshop. Many anti or non establishment "free universities" across the country are offering courses in all phases of mysticism, witchcraft, black magic, astrology and the occult.” Notably enough, Timothy Leary’s MKULTRA partner-in-crime, the CIA-associated psychologist Richard Alpert, was a teacher there at the Midpenninsula Free University), the president of which was a Ken Kesey574

Merry Prankster named Robert Cullenbine who served as one of Barack Obama’s Deputy Field Organizers during his 2008 A.D. presidential campaign. The Human Be-In mela included a magic mantra-chanting Allen Ginsberg as well as a musical performance by Owsley Stanley’s band The Grateful Dead. Owsley Stanley, an underground chemist, supplied copious amounts of LSD for the occasion: “Owsley had…donated a lot of his latest LSD, White Lightning, and people were walking around in the crowd handing out these tiny white tablets…the strongest LSD tablets yet.” – The Haight-Ashbury: A History) by Michael Bowen the primary organizer of the event (Michael Bowen organized the Human Be-In of course at the behest of the CIA’s MKULTRA man in the field, John Starr Cooke. Allen Cohen was co-organizer. It is said the ‘organizers’ themselves distributed some 5,000 free doses of the psychedelic drug STP at this event as well). Leary spoke at the Human Be-In, a gathering of 30,000 hippies in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and uttered the famous phrase, "Turn on, tune in, drop out" (Notable Leary Quote: “Turning-on is a complex, demanding, frightening, confusing process [which of course involved an LSD lifestyle]. It requires diligent Yoga… Drop-out means exactly that: drop-out… Quit school. Quit your job. Don’t vote. Avoid all politics… you must form your own cult [Leary defines this as a “family-clan-tribal cell”]… You must start your own religion… You must form that most ancient and sacred of human structures - the clan. A clan or cult is a small group of human beings organised around a religious goal… You are GOD…YOU ARE GOD: REMEMBER!” – Start Your Own Religion by Timothy Leary, 1967 A.D. No joke. That’s what it says and that’s how it says it. No doubt Charles Manson, leader of the Manson Family, was an ardent supporter of the doctrines of Timothy Leary. At any rate, Charles Manson, an LSD enthusiast, was given to hanging out with the Laurel Canyon Warner Bros.© cabal which included visits from Timothy Leary’s associate Dr. Richard Alpert (as pointed out by Charles Perry in The Haight-Ashbury: A History p.255: “LSD tends to form cabals of initiates… Most psychedelic communities around the country were LSD scenes, and LSD was distributed by the Timothy Leary network [the Brotherhood of Eternal Love], which meant that psychedelics came freighted with the Leary cult and his books and quietist theories” with ‘quietism’ being by definition: “…a system of…mysticism that requires a withdrawal from the world, a renunciation of the individual will, and passive contemplation of God [in Leary’s case his ‘God’ was Azazel] and divine things”). Leary’s How-To guide to starting your own religion really sheds a light on the phenomenon known as Charles Manson and the murderous Manson Family clan and of the profusion of newly minted magic/entheogenic-based churches of the period (Manson and his infamous Family was a microcosm of the macrocosm which was 1960s California, and they were front and just a bit off center in the mystic middle of the action. Manson Family-member-to-be Bobby Beausoleil had in fact attended this particular Michael Bowen-sponsored Human Be-In in the company of his friend Kenneth Anger [See p.146 Anger by Bill Landis]. Bobby Beausoleil and Kenneth Anger connect to Michael Bowen/John Starr Cooke/Timothy Leary through their mutual friend Lenore Kandel so it is quite likely they all directly connect to each other as well). Another such Timothy Learyinfluenced group was headed by Stephen Gaskin [an ex-Marine and former owner of a string of Beatnik coffee houses], college professor and Haight-Ashbury spiritual teacher who later became cult leader of a Tennessee hippie commune called ‘The Farm’ established in 1971 A.D. by Stephen Gaskin himself with a cult following of 320 San Francisco hippies, largely attendees of Gaskin’s ‘Monday Night Classes’ at San Francisco State College’s Experimental College (the introduction of Speed, Crank and heroine into Haight-Ashbury in the late 1960s literally dealt a death blow to the ’60s youth movement the CIA themselves had created [one important lesson the CIA learned in Haight-Ashbury is how drugs can be used to systematically destroy a neighborhood, and by extension, a country, such as Mexico, itself a bastion of Roman Catholicism today torn apart by violent drug cartels including the murderous Michoacán-based Knights Templar Cartel (the Caballeros Templarios cult)]; disillusionment inevitably set in along with the criminal element, and various Hippie drug dealers began systematically turning up dead, directly prompting this group’s exodus to 575

Tennessee): “Gaskin and his circle were rethinking their daily lives, their tribal headman was also attracting a following. In March 1966 Gaskin began to offer informal courses in San Francisco State’s new Experimental College (Paul Goodman, a Gestalt Therapist from the CIA-associated Esalen Institute, also taught there [See p.257 The Haight-Ashbury: A History]. Harvard University-attendee Buckminster Fuller [American Humanist Association’s 1969 A.D. Humanist of the Year who in 1983 A.D. was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ronald Reagan], a former teacher from Black Mountain College [19481949 A.D.] though better known for his geodesic dome design patent often used in the construction of military radar installations, had also lectured at the Experimental College in 1966 A.D. [Ibid pp.76-77; there also existed the Tussman Experimental College at the University of California, Berkeley run by former Army Intelligence agent Joseph Tussman who was at the forefront of the so-called Free Speech Movement which staged protests prominently attended by resident Esalen Institute folk festival musician Joan Baez. Also prominent amid anti-Vietnam War era student protests at UCBerkeley was former OSS agent/agent provocateur/professor of history Herbert Marcuse]. Buckminster Fuller, a man with Carbonari forebears, was the son of transcendentalist Margaret Fuller. As we learn from her selection in Wikipedia: “She became the first editor of the transcendentalist journal [read: of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s transcendentalist journal] The Dial [Emerson being a high priest in the Palladian Order] in 1840, before joining the staff of the New York Tribune under Horace Greeley in 1844 (another notable member of the group who worked for Horace Greeley at the New York Tribune was a relative of Benjamin Franklin named George Ripley [1802 – 1880 A.D.], a graduate of Harvard Divinity School who was by profession a Unitarian minister. George Ripley was related by marriage to Ralph Waldo Emerson). By the time she was in her 30s, Fuller had earned a reputation as the best-read person in New England, male or female, and became the first woman allowed to use the library at Harvard College [‘Transcendentalism’ was taught at Harvard Divinity School, the defining concept in Spiritualism/Spiritual mediumship]. Her seminal work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century [“considered the first major feminist work in the United States”], was published in 1845. A year later, she was sent to Europe for the Tribune as its first female correspondent. She soon became involved with the revolutions in Italy [one of the Illuminati/Carbonari’s many socalled Revolutions of 1848] and allied herself with [Carbonari leader] Giuseppe Mazzini [“On June 17, 1825, (Margaret) Fuller attended the ceremony when the American Revolutionary War hero Marquis de Lafayette (who as you’ll recall like Mazzini was a member of the Illuminati/Carbonari as well) laid the cornerstone of the Bunker Hill Monument 50 years after the battle” (by invitation of U.S. President James Monroe, the Marquis de Lafayette would in 1824-1825 A.D. tour 24 U.S. states in commemoration of the American Revolutionary War, during which tour he was accompanied by abolitionist Fanny Wright, an associate of Robert Owen, father of New Harmony-founder Robert Dale Owen).].” – Wikipedia: Margaret Fuller. Some fer-real nice funderful facts for you all; note well these associations, particularly the Carbonari link to Harvard College/Harvard University/Harvard Divinity School, links which turn out to be in fact quite substantial. U.S. Presidents JFK and FDR were both importantly enough to our story Harvard College alumni as were Robert F. Kennedy, Henry Kissinger (Kissinger was an OSS agent during WWII who at one point worked as an interpreter for Allen Dulles), J. Robert Oppenheimer, Norman Mailer, Kenneth Anger’s friend William S. Burroughs, e.e. cummings and T.S. Eliot (FDR’s friend, the Harvard grad/Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison [who once served as a professor at Oxford University] was a relative of T.S. Eliot, and Harvard College president Charles William Eliot was T.S. Eliot’s cousin it may also be helpful to note. The Eliot family had extensive Harvard College associations). Another Harvard attendee of importance who has served as editor of The Dial is American poet Scofield Thayer whose friends e.e. cummings and Ezra Pound were friends of U.S. counterintelligence czar James Angleton (who served under amongst others, Allen Dulles). Scofield Thayer even attended Oxford University at the same time as T.S. Eliot who also had associations with James Angleton. Thayer in 1919 A.D. purchased The Dial along with 576

business associate Dr. James Sibley Watson, Jr. Dr. James Sibley Watson, Jr. was an early avante-garde filmmaker who had co-produced with one Melville Weber the horror film The Fall of the House of Usher [1928 A.D.]. Weber’s composer friend Alec Wilder composed the musical score for this film—Alec Wilder was notably enough a ‘close friend’ of Frank Sinatra [an album entitled Frank Sinatra Conducts the Music of Alec Wilder was released in 1946 A.D.] and knew many other musicians of the era as well. It was under the patronage of Thayer and Watson, Jr. that William Carlos William’s and Ezra Pound’s mutual lifelong friend Marianne Moore [both of whom she had met as a resident of Greenwich Village. Marianne Moore was a lifelong friend of William Carlos Williams and is even considered to be his ‘mentor’], the Pulitzer Prize winning poet Marianne Moore [1887 A.D. - 1972 A.D.] served as editor of The Dial beginning in 1925 A.D. until its ultimate demise in 1929 A.D., the year which saw the stock market crash and the onset of the Great Depression. Marianne Moore even has written liner notes for boxing heavyweight champion Casius Clay/Muhammad Ali’s album entitled I am the Greatest and once threw out the opening pitch at a N.Y. Yankees baseball game]. Nearly every Modernist artist, poet and writer in our story has seen their works published or featured within the pages of The Dial]. Listed under titles such as ‘North American White Witchcraft,’ ‘Magic, Einstein, and God,’ ‘Group Experiments in Unified Field Theory,’ and ‘Meta-PE,’ these courses (offered by San Francisco State’s Experimental College) blended literature on mysticism, magic, popular philosophy and psychology, and hallucinogenic experience.” – Manhood in the Age of Aquarius by Tim Hodgdon (The Experimental College concept was created by ACLU member/UNESCO delegate Alexander Meiklejohn, a graduate of the Cornell University school of magic who served as dean of that bastion of abolitionism, Brown University [For more information see The Experimental College by Alexander Meiklejohn, 1932 A.D.]). These are but a small number of examples of a very large number of such communes/‘tribes’/Families or ‘cells’ if you prefer located around the United States [as well as in other countries, Jim Jones’ commune included] based upon OTO-member Theodore Reuss’ concept of a social Utopia and which were similarly patterned upon OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s own commune at his Abbey of Thelema at Cefalú in early 1920s Sicily)… On June 1, 1969, Leary joined (The Beatles band-member) John Lennon and Yoko Ono at their Montreal Bed-In” (note this association between the CIA and The Beatles. Bed-In is a play on words of the Hippie Be-In) (Timothy Leary was, to quote President Richard Nixon: “…the most dangerous man in America,” he not counting, of course, himself; at any rate Leary was working for the CIA over which Nixon his self as the nation’s commander-in-chief ultimately presided). – Wikipedia: Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary, it must be noted, was an associate of Aldous Huxley (sci-fi writer and friend of sci-fi/horror author Ray Bradbury: “In October 1930, the English occultist Aleister Crowley dined with Huxley (at which time they became friends; the Brits Aldous Huxley and Aleister Crowley had indeed shared a common friend, an Old Etonian named Evan Morgan: “Evan Frederic Morgan, 2nd Viscount Tredegar (July 13, 1893 – April 1949) was a Welsh poet and author (a descendent of the famous privateer/pirate Captain Morgan). The only son of Courtenay Morgan, 1st Viscount Tredegar, of Tredegar Park, Monmouthshire, and Lady Katherine Carnegie, he was a chamberlain to Popes Benedict XV and Pius XI yet, as an accomplished occultist, was hailed by Aleister Crowley as ‘Adept of Adepts’…His weekend house parties, which attracted such figures as Aldous Huxley, H.G. Wells, Augustus John** and Aleister Crowley, gained local notoriety, as did the host’s extravagant lifestyle [** “By the 1920s (Augustus) John was Britain’s leading portrait painter. John painted many distinguished contemporaries, including T.E. Lawrence, Thomas Hardy, W.B. Yeats, Aleister Crowley, Lady Gregory…George Bernard Shaw… Perhaps his most famous portrait is of his fellow-countryman, Dylan Thomas [Dylan Thomas’ good friend Victor Neuburg, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn initiated by Crowley himself (See The Magical Dilemma of Victor Neuburg by Jean Overton Fuller, 1990 A.D.) had been Aleister Crowley’s homosexual sex-magick partner]… By Ian Fleming’s widowed mother, Evelyn Ste Croix Fleming née Rose, he (Augustus John) had a daughter, Amaryllis Fleming (1925–1999), who 577

became a noted cellist… John’s daughter by his second wife, married the Dutch painter Willem Jilts Pol (1905–1988) whose daughter Talitha (1940–1971), a fashion icon of 1960s London [better known as Talitha Getty], married John Paul Getty [Jr.; his father John Paul Getty, Sr. was Kenneth Anger’s so-called ‘patron’]… The Gettys became part of ‘Swinging’ London’s fashionable scene, becoming friends with, among others, singers Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones [Jagger was Getty’s neighbor] and his girl-friend Marianne Faithfull [Kenneth Anger being a member of The Rolling Stones’ inner-circle as well]…after splitting from Jagger, she (Marianne Faithfull) took up with Talitha Getty’s lover, Count Jean de Breteuil, a young French aristocrat (1949–1971) (Count Jean de Breteuil was a descendent of the line of Renaissance physicist/witch Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, marquise du Châtelet [1706 –1749 A.D.], one of who’s most infamous lovers was the Illuminus French statesman Voltaire [Voltaire was a member of Loge des Neuf Sœurs, the same French Freemasonic lodge in which the Illuminus statesman Benjamin Franklin was a member, Voltaire being initiated into the lodge by its Worshipful Master Benjamin Franklin himself. This lodge, a bastion of the Illuminati, played a major role in the French Revolution. In the officially sanctioned Proofs of a Conspiracy p.382,383, Voltaire is identified as being a co-conspiring member of the Illuminati]. Voltaire was himself a friend of King Frederick II of Prussia, also known as "Frederick the Great." King Frederick II of Prussia was a major supporter of the magic arts and is widely regarded as the founder of modern military espionage). Breteuil supplied drugs to rock stars such as Jim Morrison of the Doors, Keith Richards (of The Rolling Stones), and Marianne Faithfull (both Tallitha Getty and Jim Morrison would on separate occasions die of what was ruled to be drug overdoses in 1971 A.D. Note that Breteuil would also die an untimely death in the very same year. Coincidence? I should think not)… As an actress, [Tallitha Getty nѐe] Pol appeared in several films, including…Barbarella (1968), a sexually charged science-fiction fantasy starring (Samson De Brier magic salon attendee) Jane Fonda (Getty family associate Kenneth Anger was a Samson De Brier magic salon attendee as well), in which she had the minor uncredited role of a girl smoking a pipe.” - Wikipedia: Talitha Getty. Augustus John was also a member of the Peace Pledge Union at the same time his son, Admiral Sir Caspar John, had been First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff (and as such in effect, was head of British Naval Intelligence)].” – Wikipedia: Evan Morgan, 2nd Viscount Tredegar) in Berlin (such meetings as this between Huxley and Crowley often served as an opportunity to exchange information as well as orders between Intelligence agents)...In 1938 Huxley befriended J. Krishnamurti (of Theosophical Society-fame), whose teachings he greatly admired.” – Wikipedia: Aldous Huxley. Teachings Huxley admired, and I must say, openly propounded. Aldous Huxley, in fact, became a life-long friend of Theosophical Society messiah J. Krishnamurti. The British-born Oxford University-educated Brit Aldous Huxley had known Fabian Society associations [Author’s Note: The Fabian Society membership ranks were made up of members of the Theosophical Society as well as members of its magic-practicing inner-circle the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] including amongst which was Bertrand Russell (it was Bertrand Russell who allegedly introduced what was to become the famous ‘peace sign’ of the hippies which in witchcraft lore is widely known as the ‘witch’s foot’ [See p.63 Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente] and alternatively as the ‘witch’s mark’ [often described as a ‘three-nailed claw’], which later prompted the hippie-hating Satanist Anton LaVey to once ferociously proclaim: “Beware you psychedelic vermin!... We know your mark [the so-called ‘peace sign’/’witch’s mark’] and recognize it well.”), Huxley also being a friend to D.H. Lawrence (D.H. Lawrence was at one point Aldous Huxley’s homosexual partner), T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf [they also all being part of the Lady Ottoline Morrell literary-salon circle], D.H. Lawrence himself being associated with Ezra Pound (Ezra Pound, a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats, was also the friend of a woman named Eva Fowler [nѐe Neumann], the daughter of Bohemian Club president Paul Neumann [Paul Neumann had served as attorney general for the Kingdom of Hawaii before the overthrow of its monarchy and its subsequent inclusion as America’s 50th state]. The Bohemian Club is headquartered in San Francisco, 578

CA. Eva Fowler was related by marriage to renowned phrenologist Orson Squire Fowler [he was a ‘good friend’ of Walt Whitman—another ‘good friend’ of Walt Whitman was Edward Carpenter, an individual instrumental in the foundation of the Fabian Society [composed in the main of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Theosophical Society members] and its political arm, the Labour Party in England]. Another member of the Fowler family was Lydia Folger Fowler who holds the distinction of having been the second woman in all of American history to earn a medical degree. It is from Lydia Folger Fowler [a descendent of Benjamin Franklin] that Folger’s Coffee© heir Peter Folger, whose daughter Abigail Folger would meet her death at the hands of Manson Family murderers, is descended. Both Orson Squire Fowler and his brother, Lorenzo Niles Fowler [Lydia Folger Fowler was Lorenzo’s wife], were well known phrenologists in their day famous for measuring the heads of such Illuminus clientele as Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Sir Henry Irving and Baron Rothschild [the GermanJewish House of Rothschild has traditionally had Holy Roman Empire/House of Habsburg connections and through Queen Victoria, British connections as well]. Historically speaking, the Fowler family has owned and operated Theosophical Society-associated publishing houses in London, England [L.N. Fowler and Co.] and America [Fowler and Wells in New York City] which specialized in occult subject matters including Spiritualism, astrology, hypnotism, yoga, Theosophy and phrenology. They notably enough published books authored by such esoteric authors as Hiram E. Butler and Theosophical Society-member/Rosicrucian Fellowship founder Max Heindel. The Fowlers are related by marriage to the Rockefellers notably enough through Chicagoan Harold Fowler McCormick who in 1895 A.D. married Edith Rockefeller [a patient of Theosophical Society-member/psychiatrist/OSS agent Carl Jung], daughter of John D. Rockefeller [Harold Fowler McCormick would serve as a trustee for both the Rockefeller Foundation and the Rockefeller-created University of Chicago]. A number of Rockefeller family members [like the Fowlers] are/were Bohemian Club members as well). Aldous Huxley was also associated with the Vedanta Society. The rock group The Doors took their name from the title of one of Huxley’s novels entitled The Doors of Perception, a book which served to pique the public’s interest in such hallucinogenic substances (The Doors lead singer Jim Morrison was unsurprisingly enough the son of the U.S. Navy Admiral George Stephen Morrison [who after WWII was involved in clandestine nuclear weapons projects which places him squarely into the Navy Intelligence camp. The Doors producer Paul Rothchild had himself [like Church of Satan-member Michael A. Aquino] been a member of the Army Intelligence Corps [Paul Rothchild owned a house on Lookout Mountain and had ties to Crosby, Stills, Nash and (Manson Family-friend) Young as well as to a number of famous musicians of the day]. Rothchild also produced LPs for the rock group Love in which band Manson Family-member/Church of Satan-attendee Bobby Beausoleil was an early member] of ‘Tonkin Gulf Incident’ fame, leader of the inanely staged non-event which would vault American forces into the very Vietnamese War the hippies so vehemently opposed (and Vietnam was, likely and certainly ironically enough, the source of the very heroine from which Jim Morrison, a known Church of Satan-attendee, died), an incident which declassified U.S. documents reveal was itself entirely faked in order to ramp up support for the highly unpopular Cold War-era ‘police-action’ waged in cooperation with America’s French allies against Chinese Communist-allied forces in the southeast Asian country of Vietnam. That the U.S. government was certainly less than truthful and in fact was guilty of employing outright lies amidst a concerted major misinformation campaign in this regard is evidenced by the highly-inflammatory Pentagon Papers released by the New York Times© in 1971 A.D.; Jim Morrison was himself suicided by what was ruled a ‘drug overdose’ in Paris within a month after publication of these most damning of documents. Jim Morrison (Morrison was a known practitioner of magic; as fellow Doors band-member Ray Manzarek had once intimated in an interview: “He [Jim Morrison] was not an entertainer, he was not a showman, he was a Shaman. He was possessed…” Doors music concerts were in essence staged magic rituals for which the Shaman Jim Morrison served as high-priest) was a friend of Beat poet Michael McClure and was married in a 1970 A.D. Wicca witchcraft wedding ceremony to science579

fiction/fantasy author and ‘Celtic Pagan’ High-Priestess Patricia Kennealy, a Dame in the The Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani magic order (OSMTH; which translates as Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem), also known as Knights Templar International [said to be a continuation of the l'Ordre du Temple magic order founded by Bernard-Raymond Fabré-Palaprat who had received commendations for his role in the French revolution of 1830 A.D. which resulted in the overthrow of King Charles X; l'Ordre du Temple was included in the union of occult groups headed by French mystic Gérard Encausse, aka Papus, founder of the modern Martinist Order (French Illuminist Freemasonry/Illuminati) and member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn temple in Paris (Papus was initiated into this Ahathoor Temple first established by [and under the tutelage of] Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn grand master S.L. Macgregor Mathers in the 1890s A.D.), Papus being as well a leading member of the Theosophical Society in France]. In 2001 A.D., OSMTH was awarded UNESCO NGO-status by the United Nations). The book title The Doors of Perception itself was derived from the writings of a man who had claimed to have seen angels ever since he was a child, the English Druid William Blake (“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro’ narrow chinks of his cavern.” – The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake), its story touched upon a theory known as ‘Vitalism’ as championed by evolutionist philosopher Henri Bergson (author of Creative Evolution, 1911 A.D.), brother-inlaw to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader S.L. MacGregor Mathers (Vitalism itself was built upon the theory of the Aristotelian Final Cause, aka Teleology [a concept also propounded by Plato], that all causes/catalysts for change pre-exist in nature—in essence they were searching for a natural catalyst for human evolutionary advancement to its higher angelic state whereby as stated in Genesis 3:5 they might become as gods—this group believed, as Aldous Huxley’s friend Gerald Heard had been proselytizing, that mind/consciousnessexpanding drugs were the key to this evolutionary change and they were searching for a natural chemical catalyst (such as to be found in hallucinogenic substances such as mescaline; LSD itself represented an ‘unnatural’ synthetic catalyst). Henri Bergson theorized that the brain and the central nervous system acted as a reducing valve [no doubt he was influenced by the writings of his Harvard University psychologist friend William James] which disallowed much of the information one typically encounters in his everyday environment from ever reaching the human conscious, allowing access only to that amount of information deemed necessary for the individual’s own survival. To this end, as Colin Wilson in his book The Occult explains concerning his own experience with mescaline, such a drug: “…produced its effects by switching off the brain’s normal ‘filtering’ mechanisms, allowing the senses to become flooded with the richness of the physical world.” In essence, such drugs it was taught served to open ‘the doors of perception’ which human consciousness itself, evolutionarily speaking, had so unceremoniously closed)

Aldous Huxley’s novel The Doors of Perception describes a transformative religious experience of an “Otherworldly quality” which Huxley claimed to have had experienced while under the influence of the hallucinogenic drug mescaline personally supplied to him in 1953 A.D. by a certain British psychiatrist named Dr. Humphry Osmond who had once poetically written Huxley: “To fathom hell or soar angelic,/Just take a pinch of psychedelic.” The year prior to this incident in 1952 A.D. the CIA-associated psychiatrist Dr. Humphry Osmond had co-authored a paper entitled Schizophrenia: A New Approach advocating the study of entheogenic hallucinogenic drugs such as mescaline as a new means for treating mental disorders, which method was in fact a thousands of years old pagan medical magic practice (as evidenced in John A. Keel’s The Eighth Tower, schizophrenia [and this no doubt was the belief which circulated amongst this group’s magic-influenced psychiatric circles] is considered to be a form of mediumship [clairaudience] albeit as Keel 580

describes it a form of ‘mediumship gone awry’ in that the schizophrenic will hear ‘voices’ which serve to spur him into action, in most cases prompting the schizophrenic individual to commit arson, mayhem and murder [it is easy to see why the destructive mechanics of which would be of interest to military researchers], and as such schizophrenia it would appear is indicative of a completely Overshadowed state and/or of spiritual possession. As occultist Hans Holzer notes in his book Witchcraft p.552, today, “demonic possession…in a medical sense” is typically diagnosed as “schizophrenia” by members of the medical profession. Small wonder adherents of the most popular form of witchcraft of its day would seek a completely time-honored Shamanic cure). It was in fact: “While writing Heaven and Hell (the sequel to The Doors of Perception) (a title derived from William Blake’s poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell) in 1955, (Aldous) Huxley had his second mescaline experience (his first time presumably in the presence of British spy Aleister Crowley who was in the habit of surreptitiously dosing his dinner guests), this time in the company of (OSS) Captain Al Hubbard (Al Hubbard was an associate of the CIAassociated British psychiatrist Dr. Humphry Osmond and LSD researcher Dr. Oscar Janiger as well). They were joined by philosopher (and British Intelligence agent) Gerald Heard, a close friend of Huxley’s… Later that same year, with the Captain (Al Hubbard) again acting as a guide, Huxley took his first dose of LSD.” – Acid Dreams p.46. In this respect Aldous Huxley (likely a British Intelligence asset himself) joins a long list of occultists who have written books about their mystical drug experiences in the grand magical traditions of the greatest Shaman storytellers of old (it is as well requisite for practitioners of magic too keep a magical diary of their magic practices). Aleister Crowley in a like way was known to have used mescaline during his ceremonial magic rituals and has likewise penned copious amounts of copy concerning it (in particular note Crowley’s book The Diary of a Drug Fiend; no doubt he and Aldous Huxley exchanged notes on this subject during their own shared dinner). Beatniks like many traditional practitioners of magic before them were certainly into drugs, magic and poetry, and to this fact we owe the following ditty to the Aleister Crowleyassociated magic-practicing proto-Beatnik Jack Parsons circa 1943 A.D.: "I hight Don Quixote, I live on peyote, marijuana, morphine and cocaine,/I never know sadness, but only a madness that burns at the heart and the brain./I see each charwoman, ecstatic, inhuman, angelic, demonic, divine./Each wagon a dragon, each beer mug a flagon that brims with ambrosial wine." The LSD guru/MKULTRA psychiatrist Timothy Leary associated with Allen Ginsberg (Ginsberg himself being an associate of MKULTRA guinea pig Ken Kesey) as well as with the “King of the Beats” Jack Kerouac** (all of whom resided in San Francisco, and all leading figures of the Beat Generation [‘Beat,’ from ‘beatific,’ wandering drug-abusing wise men in the mold of Neoplatonic troubadours and Gaelic/English Druidic bards of a medieval age’s yesteryear, magic-practicing misfits and drop outs from the established Christian society hell bent on its destruction]. The British Beatnik authors themselves set in motion on America’s shores the classic Illuminist subversive plan, a strategy straight out of an 18th century Illuminati playbook: “Many romances, novels, journeys through Germany and other countries, are written on purpose to attach praise or reproach to certain sentiments, characters, and pieces of conduct.” – Proofs of a Conspiracy. An American version of such a novel was introduced in 1951 A.D.—the siren-song work On the Road authored by ex-U.S. Navy Merchant Marine-man Jack Kerouac. Towards this very end the Beatniks had praised magic, drugs, Buddhism and a defiant itinerant revolutionary lifestyle. (**Jack Kerouac was a product of the CIA-associated New School of Social Research in New York City [which he had attended in 1949 A.D.] located in Greenwich Village which was co-founded by the 581

Pragmatic Humanist psychologist John Dewey (John Dewey’s former student psychologist Carl Rogers would along with Abraham Maslow go on to pioneer magic-based Humanistic Psychology at the Esalen Institute during the 1960s. Carl Rogers’ work was during the 1950s and 60s as reported in the APA Monitor [December 1977, CIA's Behavior Caper by Patricia Greenfield, pp.1,10-11] funded by the CIA through its Human Ecology Fund), John Dewey being an associate of Professor of psychology William James of Harvard. One New School of Social Research instructor of note was Morris Raphael Cohen who had studied under Professors William James, Josiah Rice and Hugo Muensterberg at Harvard University. Another New School of Social Research attendee of note was Dr. Jean Houston who would herself become immersed in MKULTRA LSD research in the grand tradition of psychologist William James [Dr. Jean Houston served as a director at Harvard University professor/CIAMKULTRA psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s assistant, Michael Hollingshead’s so-called ‘Foundation for Mind Research,’ The Agora Scientific Trust, Inc. located there in New York City which was as we learn from Chapter 4 The Man Who Turned on the World circa 1963 A.D. engaged in blending scientific LSD experimentation “…with all the magical arts, including the 'I Ching,' 'Quabhalla,' The Tarot pack, and Alchemy…” and this no doubt under U.S. government funded CIA/MKULTRA auspices; Dr. Jean Houston also took part in LSD experiments at Timothy Leary’s Millbrook estate (Ibid Chapter 5) which places her squarely into the MKULTRA camp] she being as well a central figure in the Human Potential Movement [she worked for NASA with astronauts including Edgar Mitchell whose own ‘Noetic’ sciences work (‘Noetic’ from the Greek word ‘nous’ meaning ‘mind’ and hailing back to the teachings of the Greek philosopher/practitioner of magic Plato) was merely as is evident in Edgar Mitchell’s book Psychic Exploration (1974 A.D.) a continuation of the psychical research first instituted by the SPR/ASPR under psychical researcher William James at Harvard University] the New Age guru/spiritualist medium who was a close associate of Joseph Campbell [both Joseph Campbell and Dr. Jean Houston co-led seminars together, and Joseph Campbell was known to have taken part in Timothy Leary’s Harvard-based MKULTRA LSD experiments as well]. Dr. Jean Houston had also worked closely with such mystical personalities as Carl Jung, Buckminster Fuller and Aldous Huxley. Dr. Jean Houston is also well known for her work with the celebrated anthropologist Margaret Mead, one-time wife of OSS research scientist Gregory Bateson. During the 1980s Dr. Jean Houston would begin her Mystery School seminars devoted to the practice of Spiritualism in the finest ancient mystery school/school of magic tradition, and during the days of the Clinton presidential administration, Dr. Jean Houston had served as an official White House advisor to First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton (both Bill and Hillary Clinton were in fact Berkeley, CA hippies during the early 1970s. Hillary Cinton’s actress/friend Mary Steenburgen (both of whom were previous residents of Fayetteville, Arkansas) would receive her film acting debut in the Jack Nicholson-directed film Goin’ South in 1978 A.D. thusly linking Hillary Clinton as the reader shall later discover to this entire OTO-connected crowd]). Dr. Jean Houston’s Spiritualist ‘copartner’ at the White House at which time she was serving as an official White House advisor to First Lady/New York Senator/2016 A.D. presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton (whose 2008 Presidential bid received major fund raising assistance from CFR member Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a member of the Illuminati-founding Rothschild family) was fellow anthropologist Mary Catherine Bateson, daughter of Margaret Mead and OSS spy Gregory Bateson [Jean Houston and Mary Catherine Bateson (Mary Catherine Bateson was a Radcliffe College graduate and earned her PhD. from Harvard University) were the two most celebrated Spiritualist mediums of their day—most anthropologists you will find are true practicing witches/practitioners of magic]. It is alleged the trio engaged in Spiritualist sѐances in order to channel the spirit of Hillary Clinton’s hero, ex-First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of former U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Dr. Jean Houston, herself the daughter of Hollywood joke writer Jack Houston, has also been involved with the United Nations/UNICEF and is a past president of the Association of Humanistic Psychology. Exemplary members of the Association of Humanistic Psychology include the Native 582

American Shaman medicine-man Manitonquat who was the keynote speaker at the U.N.’s ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of the 1948 A.D. death-by-assassination of Sufi mystic Mahatma Ghandi (as Ghandi was by definition a ‘fakir’) as well as Wiccan witch highpriestess/author/counselor Judy Harrow. Gestalt Therapy and Transpersonal Psychiatry also fall within the Humanistic Psychology category which is in fact entirely magic-based. During the 1960s MKULTRA decade Dr. Jean Houston and her colleague Dr. Robert Masters were engrossed in LSD research at their Foundation for Mind Reasearch in New York some of whose findings may be found in their 1966 A.D. book entitled The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience one notable entry of which involves a mystical experience involving ‘elves’). (Aleister Crowley’s former personal secretary/fellow ceremonial magician/Hollywood-area resident Israel Regardie in his book Ceremonial Magic [1980 A.D.] p.14 notes that: “In my teens I was a member of the Order of DeMolay [now generally known as Molay International], a junior Masonic organization [a Freemasonic Youth Movement for young men aged 12 to 21 who are the children of Freemasons], started by Masons, superintended by Masons, and, in effect, conducted by Masons.” With this DeMolay association he joins a long list of notable Hollywood personas including John Wayne, Beverly Hillbillies star Buddy Epson, Mel Blanc and Walt Disney, politicians [including U.S. President Bill Clinton], writers, ballplayers and astronauts [including Edgar Mitchell] who were likewise members of the Order of DeMolay. The Order of DeMolay, which takes its name from Knights Templar Grand Master Jacques DeMolay [DeMolay was burned at the stake by the Roman Catholic Church for practicing magic while ritually invoking the devious demon Baphomet, who is Azazel], has ominously grown to include over 1,000 chapters worldwide sponsored by preestablished Freemasonic lodges)

The Beat Generation expounded the Buddhist principles (dubbed Beat Zen) as promulgated by members of the Theosophical Society. That the word ‘beatnik’ was coined (April 2, 1958 A.D.) by the San Francisco Chronicle Pulitzer Prizewinning columnist Herb Caen, who had an outsized influence on the American popculture of his day, and whose writings did much to popularize the lifestyle, says a lot in itself, I should think, as Anton LaVey and his Church of Satan was also widely featured in Herb Caen’s newspaper column no small number of times, he doing much to promote this organization as well. This was it would appear all in conjunction with the CIA’s Project MKULTRA (which sought to clinically study the use of hallucinogens as pertains to mind control applications; as must be noted, one of the German Nazi scientists brought to the U.S. during ‘Project Paperclip’ included one Dr. Hubertus Strughold [who had in previous years traveled to the United States as a Rockefeller Foundation Fellow circa 1928 A.D.] who carried out extensive German Nazi wartime experiments with various hallucinogenic drugs at the Dachau concentration camp located in the Illuminati stronghold of Bavaria in Germany during WWII and who was later to be hailed by NASA as the ‘father of space medicine.’ Much of early ‘space medicine’ was hallucinogenic in nature), including Ken Kesey’s San Francisco Bay Area Acid Test parties and Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters, included amongst whose ranks was the members of The Grateful Dead rock band (a central figure in the Acid Tests was Ken Kesey’s Beatnik friend Allen Ginsberg. ‘Acid’ is slang for LSD. One of the Acid Test’s more modern incarnations in America is the Rave, which in reality dates back to the Acid House Parties of the Soho Beatnik set in 1950s London, no doubt imported to North Beach and San Francisco by the 1950s British Beatniks Alan Watts and Aldous Huxley (also included in the late 1950s Soho Beatnik set was Brian Barritt. Brian Barritt, a friend of both Timothy Leary [and as the reader shall later discover, the pair were fellow practitioners of magic as well] and poet William S. Burroughs, was a member of the 583

so-called Cosmic Couriers group involved in worldwide LSD smuggling efforts. Another British Beatnik poet was Victor Musgrave, curator of the Gallery One art gallery [1953-1963 A.D.] in Soho which featured the artistry of the Fluxus group of artists. Many period artists’ fiberglass sculptural works of the day [as fiberglass was first coming into widespread use during the 1950s] were typically hollow and were intentially designed to smuggle drugs between England into America by individuals including Francis Morland [a Slade School of Fine Art educated artist famous for his fiberglass sculptures which he used to smuggle drugs and for which offense he was repeatedly jailed. The Timothy Leary-associated Brotherhood of Eternal Love’s drug smuggling operations included the smuggling drugs into the country via fiberglass surfboards]. Such LSD acid parties however shared far more ominous origins. As related in The Aquarian Conspiracy by Executive Intelligence Review: “The British had a precedent for the counterculture they imposed upon the United States: the pagan cult ceremonies of the decadent Egyptian and Roman Empires [as much of England itself had once been a province of the Roman Empire]. The following description of cult ceremonies dating back to the Egyptian Isis priesthood of the third millennium B.C. could just as well be a journalistic account of a ‘hippy be-in’ circa A.D. 1969: ‘The acts or gestures that accompany the incantations constitute the rite [of Isis]. In these dances, the beating of drums and the rhythm of music and repetitive movements were helped by hallucinatory substances like hashish or mescal; these were consumed as adjuvants to create the trance and the hallucinations that were taken to be the visitation of the god… The counterculture that was foisted on the 1960s adolescent youth of America is not merely analogous to the ancient cult of Isis. It is a literal resurrection of the cult’…” And I must say I most indubitably agree with this assessment. In fact, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn typically conducted ancient Egyptian magic rituals. Indeed, as pointed out by the Bavarian-born witchcraft historian/practicing witch Hans Holzer in Witches: True Encounters with Wicca, Wizards, Covens, Cults, and Magick p.47, the modern-day rave with its music, dancing and drug use has also much in common with the traditional witches Sabbat). Those individuals attracted to the Beatnik lifestyle as glorified in the novels of Allen Ginsberg, his friends William S. Burroughs (Beat poet William S. Burroughs, himself hailing from an American family with prominent English ancestry was versed in the writings of the French ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi and the magic practices of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and had even joined the Church of Scientology in the 1960s and later would be initiated into the Illuminates of Thanateros magic order in 1993 A.D.; William S. Burroughs is presumably related in some way or another to 17th Century Harvard College grad George Burroughs executed in 1692 A.D. for the charge of witchcraft during the so-called Salem Witch Trials. The town of Salem famous for its witchcraft practices is a mere 18 miles away from Cambridge, Massachusetts where Harvard College [in its very essence a ‘school of magic’ in the Hermetic tradition] is located. Salem today has come to embrace and to even celebrate its pagan witchcraft roots) and Jack Kerouac streamed onto the western coast of the United States helping to give birth to the hippies of the ’60s as LSD was soon thrown into the Illuminati revolutionary mix (magic-practicing Beatniks, like CIA agents, Plato and the Platonists before them, traveled the world over searching out witch doctors and medicine men alike [as an example, in 1953 A.D., William S. Bourroughs spent time in Columbia in South America on such an entheogenic magic quest. See The Yage Letters (1963 A.D.) co-authored by William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. Yage is a well known hallucinogen used in Shamanic magic rituals], studying magic, and were partakers of sacramental psychedelic 584

entheogens while actively participating in Shamanic magic rituals; Anthropology is often used as code for the pursuance of such multi-cultural ethnological magic studies and practices. Many anthropologists you will find are true practitioners of magic (aka ‘pagan reconstructionists’)—and many were/are OSS/CIA associated even to such an extent that the American Anthropological Association [the AAA] felt the need in 1967 A.D. to issue the following ‘Statement on Problems of Anthropological Research and Ethics’ which tellingly reads in part: “There is…good reason to believe that some anthropologists have used their professional standing and the names of their academic institutions as cloaks for the collection of intelligence information and for intelligence operations. Academic institutions and individual members of the academic community, including students, should scrupulously avoid both involvement in clandestine intelligence activities and the use of the name of anthropology, or the title of anthropologist, as a cover for intelligence activities.” (It was, it must be noted, the job of a number of agents involved in the CIA’s Project MKULTRA to travel abroad: “…charged with the responsibility of trying to develop…information…on various cultures…anthropological type data…” and magic, witchcraft and the Shamanic arts was their particular subject of study). Former presidents of the American Anthropological Association who have served in the U.S. Intelligence services include AAA past-presidents William W. Howells [a Harvard University professor who served in the Office of Naval Intelligence], the OWI-associated agent Robert Lowie, Margaret Mead, wife of OSS agent Gregory Bateson, and OSS agent Cora DuBois. Many AAA presidents have served as Harvard University professors and/or were attendees of/or professors at The New School for Social Research [AAA past-president Elsie Clews Parsons who was married to the Harvard University-educated Republican congressman Herbert Parsons, a political ally of President Theodore Roosevelt, was a co-founder of The New School for Social Research] both of which institutions have had extensive OSS/CIA associations. Crossover membership between the AAA and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences likewise founded by Harvard University graduated Illuminati luminaries from the Revolutionary War era is also a quite common phenomenon [the fact that the AAA and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences are both interconnected with the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution which has conducted extensive studies on the ways of the Shaman is made evident in the person of anthropologist/ethnologist William John McGee who had served as president of all three of these entities]. Other common denominators between AAA presidents include associations with Columbia University [which also has extensive CIA associations with a number of university employed individuals holding joint positions at both the CIA and Columbia University], UCLA and UCBerkeley). As we learn from Acid Dreams: “(Allen) Ginsberg…and the other poets and artists associated with the Beat generation (including his friend William S. Burroughs) sampled a veritable pharmacopoeia of different drugs in various dosages and combinations, and publicly extolled their virtues… Intoxicated states were the keystone of beat literature, and they chronicled their insights in poetry and prose.” One of these so-called ‘other poets,’ a poet accustomed to giving poetry readings alongside Allen Ginsberg, was a friend of occult filmmaker Kenneth Anger by name Michael McClure, an associate of Hell’s Angels member Freewheelin Frank (Ken Kesey was also associated with the Hell’s Angels group, members of which attended a number of his many hallucinogenic parties/Soho-style raves). Michael McClure was himself an associate of artist/film maker/occultist Andy Warhol and was a ‘close friend’ of Jim Morrison from The Doors (Jim Morrison like Kenneth Anger also has ties to the Church of Satan and was likewise a known ‘Crowleyite’). Artist Andy Warhol designed the cover art for the Rolling Stones albums ‘Sticky Fingers’ (1971 A.D.) and ‘Love You Live’ (1977 A.D.). Andy Warhol is connected to former California governor/U.S. president Ron and his wife Nancy Reagan through a close friend of the Reagans, Warhol’s business partner Bob Colacello (Nancy Reagan even posed for the December 1981 A.D. cover of Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine). A photographer for the Warhol Factory with whom Andy Warhol had had a brief romantic homosexual affair was a self-described “black magician” and Buddhist astrology-enthusiast who called himself 585

Billy Name (the Reagans themselves have a long history as we shall later learn of consulting such magic-practicing astrologers, he likely being one of them). Another one of homosexual artist Andy Warhol’s homosexual ‘friends,’ a man named Chuck Wein and nicknamed The Wizard no doubt alluding to the magic practices with which he was involved, lived in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles the import of which fact can only later be appreciated. From Chuck Wein’s 1971 A.D. film Rainbow Bridge [filmed at the Rainbow Bridge Occult Research Meditation Center (part of the greater Brotherhood of Eternal Love network) located in Maui, Hawaii and featuring the music of fellow occultist/self-professed demon possessed musician Jimi Hendrix. In Norse mythology, the ‘Rainbow Bridge’ from whence it takes its name was the link between Earth and the heavenly realm of the gods] we learn of the “mystical population” of America, of which Chuck Wein and his colleagues were certainly apparently a part, of that “enigmatic section of the land” whose “mission” and “destiny” is with “the space people,” with their so-called extraterrestrial Space Brothers with whom they as a group “are in contact.” Well butter my bottom and beam me up Scotty! It’s time for my alien anal probe!). The soundtrack album for the Rainbow Bridge concert would be released by Warner Bros./Reprise© records in 1971 A.D., an important fact considering Warner Bros.© and its associates are at the very heart of our magical little story. In fact, it was one of Ken Kesey’s** LSD suppliers, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, who in his spare time from illicit LSD manufacturing started The Grateful Dead musical group (See The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test p.339,340) whose music was likewise released on the Warner Bros.© music label thereby giving birth to the genre known as ‘Acid Rock.’ (Notable Quote Concerning Owsley Stanley III: “Owsley cultivated an image as a wizard-alchemist whose intentions with LSD were priestly and magical.” – Acid Dreams. Grateful Dead bandmember Mickey Hart once described Owsley as being “one of the most mystically savvy people in a place that was teeming with mystically savvy people.” Owsley it is important to note had been employed at one point in time by Jet Propulsion Laboratories which had in fact been engaged in many secretive government projects. Owsley Stanley was one of the chemists who supplied LSD to the Brotherhood of Eternal Love (BEL) organization. As we learn from the BEL History website, one of the co-founders of BEL was Bob Thomas who created art logos for The Grateful Dead). On a similar note, Grateful Dead band-member: “[Jerry] Garcia had first named his group The Warlocks, meaning sorcerers or wizards…” Ibid p.380. The Grateful Dead reportedly derived its present name from the Egyptian Book of the Dead where this term is used in association with the Egyptian god Osiris [the husband of Isis] who represents Azazel/Behemoth). Indubitably, in full Ourobouros circle, “the acid scene spread to England in late 1966 and 1967,” where The Beatles became enamored with the psychedelic experience, signaling their entrance into the ‘acid rock’ genre, giving birth to their Revolver©, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band©, Yellow Submarine© and Magical Mystery Tour© albums (a decided departure from the nature of their previous musical output), and at which time The Beatles entered into their infamous Buddhist phase, a veritable Transcendental transformation (in fact: “…fundamental Christians…maintained that the Lennon-McCartney [Beatles’] sound was a magical beat stolen from the ancient Druids. According to them, in ancient times these pagan priests would beat out the demonic rhythm on drums made of human skin to summon evil spirits.” – p.44 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley). Magic and mysticism, once again, ruled the day. The same scene being played out in America during the 1960s was simultaneously taking place in England thanks to Jack Parsons’ JPL jets and to the newly minted Pan Am ‘jet set’: “The Underground was a countercultural movement in the United Kingdom linked to the underground culture in the United States and associated with the hippie phenomenon. Its primary focus was around Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill in London (as noted in Wikipedia: “Since it was first developed in the 1820s, Notting Hill has had an association with artists and ‘alternative’ culture.” In fact, Notting Hill is where Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Arthur Machen had made his home during the 1880s. Notting Hill was likewise the site of Alex and Maxine Sanders’ witchcraft coven [run from their home in Clanricarde Gardens beginning in 586

1967 A.D.] during the hippie era of which we speak, and Donald Cammell’s cult classic film Performance starring Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones was filmed in Notting Hill as well). It generated its own magazines and newspapers, bands, clubs and alternative lifestyle, associated with cannabis and LSD use and a strong socio-political revolutionary agenda to create an alternative society.” – Wikipedia: the Underground (** One notable individual associated with The Grateful Dead was lyricist Robert Hunter: “Robert C. Hunter (born June 23, 1941) is an American lyricist, singer-songwriter, translator, and poet, best known for his association with Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead... Around 1962 [as a point of reference, The Grateful Dead was officially formed in 1965 A.D.], Hunter was an early volunteer test subject (along with Ken Kesey) for psychedelic chemicals at Stanford University’s research [facility] covertly sponsored by the CIA in their MKULTRA program. [McNally 42] He was paid to take LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline and report on his experiences...” – Wikipedia: Robert Hunter (lyricist). Notable Grateful Dead/Robert Hunter Lyrical Quote: “A friend of the devil is a friend of mine.” – Friend of the Devil, from The Grateful Dead’s ‘American Beauty’ album, 1970 A.D. Noting these associations, it seems logical the creation of The Grateful Dead itself was in fact MKULTRA-related and wholly Intelligence driven. As Lyndon LaRouche explains: “The first United States-grown rock group of that (psychedelic) type (of the ‘Acid Rock’ genre), the Grateful Dead, was generated as a British intelligence operation by the Occult Bureau of (Aldous) Huxley and (Gregory) Bateson out of the Palo Alto Veteran’s Hospital where they were doing LSD and related experiments.” A number of Grateful Dead band-members hailed from the Palo Alto area, Palo Alto being home to Gregory Bateson and Margaret Meade’s Mental Research Institute previously founded in 1958 A.D.)

East Village in New York City’s Greenwich Village was in many aspects an East Coast version of hippie-era Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco: “Abbie Hoffman was an East Village hippie who’d been a civil rights organizer before he turned on to acid in 1965 courtesy of his roommate, an army psychologist (no doubt of the MKULTRA variety) who supplied the LSD. Hoffman got into drugs and grew his curly hair long, but he remained an activist at heart. He was involved in staging the New York be-in during the spring of 1967—an event modeled after the first Human Be-In in San Francisco…” – Acid Dreams. Magic has long played an uncelebrated underground role in much of the history of this world and the 1960s was certainly no exception. Consider the event known as the March on the Pentagon: “(Jerry) Rubin had picked up a bit of occult folklore from Michael Bowen, the Psychedelic Ranger from Haight-Ashbury who had organized the San Francisco be-in (at the behest of CIAassociated occultist John Starr Cooke) and turned Rubin on to LSD earlier that year. A five-sided figure, Bowen explained, is a symbol of power, and when the figure is pointed north like the Pentagon building in Washington, it represents the forces of evil. As America’s unpopular war in Vietnam raged on, it was conspired to raise an army of mystics to descend on the Pentagon there to perform an ‘exorcism’ 587

of evil (Author’s Note: one of the duties of Shamans the world over is the performance of such exorcisms): ‘Seventy-five thousand protesters assembled at the Lincoln Memorial, including a sizable number of hippie types dressed in colorful costumes. The motley army of witches, warlocks, sorcerers, and long-haired bards who had come to celebrate the mystic revolution lent a carnival atmosphere to the demonstration.’” – Acid Dreams (Jerry Rubin notably enough would go on to become a successful businessman and early investor in the Apple Computer© computer company. Apple Computer© founder Steve Jobs was also a member of the Haight-Ashbury countercultural scene and had even once admitted to using LSD. In fact, Steve Jobs took Timothy Leary’s advice—tuning in to LSD and dropping out of college he travelled to India where he achieved a Buddhistic spiritual enlightenment, later returning to the United States and thereafter forming the highly successful and world transforming Apple Computer© computer company. A classic case of Overshadowing? Or CIA complicity? Or quite possibly both? You be the judge. Jerry Rubin was a co-founder of the revolutionary anarchist Youth International Party known as the Yippies along with Allen Ginsberg, Abbie "Kill Your Parents!" Hoffman and Paul Krassner [a member of MKULTRA test-subject Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters]. Ed Sanders, author of The Family, was also associated with this group).

Interestingly enough, Kenneth Anger was one of the protesting practitioners of magic present at the March on the Pentagon: “…in late October, 1967…Kenneth Anger, during the famed Exorcism and March on the Pentagon, was in Washington, D.C. conducting a notable magic ritual beneath a flat-bed truck parked in front of the Pentagon. While various Diggers (the Diggers were a Haight-Ashbury anarchist group formed in 1966 A.D. which took its name from a group of radical nonconforming commune-ists from the 17th Century A.D. English Civil War, a group with whom they themselves related) and exorcists were standing atop the flat-bed truck screeching “Out Demons Out,” (Kenneth) Anger, tattoo of Lucifer upon his chest, burned a picture of the devil within a consecrated pentagram, shouting oaths and hissing as he flashed a magic ring at inquiring reporters thrusting microphones at him hunched down in the gravel.” – p.50 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D. Ed Sanders himself was a participant in this protest, as was occultist Robert Anton Wilson who likewise practiced Crowleyian magick (See p.65,66,79 Cosmic Trigger), he like Kenneth Anger also being a member of the OTO. Of this very same protest OTO-member Gary Lachman writes: “(Kenneth) Anger…was involved with some heavy magic. With Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, Ed Sanders and members of the Diggers, he was atop a flatbed truck, flashing his Lucifer tattooed chest and screaming ‘Out 588

demons out!’ in an attempt to exorcise the Pentagon, during the massive march against the war in Vietnam in October 1967. Later Ginsberg tried to levitate the place using a Hare Krishna chant.” – p.301 Turn Off Your Mind (The self-described perpetual mental out-patients known as the Diggers are connected to what is called ‘guerilla theatre.’ The term ‘guerilla theatre’ was coined by director Peter Berg in 1965 A.D. for the San Francisco Mime Troupe, an anarchist improv theatre group [“Not street-theater, the street is theater.” – Trip Without a Ticket by the Diggers] active in 1960s Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, CA, a group consisting of magic practicing poets, writers, actors and artists actively advocating "revolutionary sociopolitical change." They even operated a place on Waller Street in HaightAshbury known as the Devil House. As per Wikipedia: “In autumn 1966 around 20 members of the San Francisco Mime Troupe broke off and started their own collective called the Diggers, who took their name from a group of 17th century radicals in England.” The following event (which was as we learn from The Haight-Ashbury: A History p.115 a Digger parade led by Beat poet Michael McClure and “a file of Hell’s Angels on their Harley [Davidson] motorcycles”) is exemplary of such staged ‘guerilla theatre’ antics where the streets serve as their theater: “A Digger event. Flowers, mirrors, pennywhistles, girls in costumes of themselves, Hell’s Angels, street people, Mime Troupe. (Hell’s) Angels ride up Haight with girls holding Now! signs. Flowers and penny-whistles passed out to everyone (a pennywhistle is a six-holed woodwind instrument which the English Diggers of the 17th Century A.D. used to provide musical accompaniment to their Neoplatonic ballads which brands them by definition, as troubadours, traditional practitioners of magic). A chorus on both sides of the street chanting Uhh!—Ahh!—Shh be cool! Mirrors held up to reflect faces of passersby” [See Trip Without a Ticket by the Diggers]. Needless to say there was some heavy duty trippin’ goin’ on—no ticket needed! The influence projected upon the Diggers by The Process Church of the Final Judgment cannot be understated. The Process often said it was a mirror in which people saw themselves. The Diggers had definitely had associations with The Process, even playing host to some of its members: “The Process, or members of it, visited Los Angeles late in 1967 around the same time as the DeGrimstons sent Process members to San Francisco [to HaightAshbury]. In Los Angeles they spent several weeks at a house operated by the Diggers on North Highland just south of Sunset Boulevard…” – 589

At any rate, the Digger concept of the “Now!” from the phrase ‘Stand up now’ as related in The Digger Song is a call to revolution [See A Ballad History of England, Palmer, 1630 A.D.]. Jim Morrison mimicked the Digger call to revolution in a song: “We want the world and we want it…Now!” [See ‘When the Music’s Over’ (1967 A.D.) by The Doors]. This concept of the “Now” was also parroted by Charles Manson which is in fact additionally derived from a saying made famous at the Esalen Institute where Digger parade marshal Michael McClure himself is known to have led workshops, the very institution which had virtually given birth to the entire Hippie Movement: “Another big word at Esalen is Now, as in Be Here Now. I think it was Richard Alpert (aka Ram Dass) who started this one because he’s published a book [entitled Be Here Now (1971 A.D.)] by the same name. Anyway, at Esalen they have this game they call open seat gestalt. Actually, it’s more than just a game. It’s supposed to be one of their self improvement tools, but to any outsider looking on, it appears to be a game (the so-called Empty Chair in fact made Gestalt Therapy famous and is a typical tool used in psychodrama group therapy). Anyway, they have this hot seat and the person sitting in it is supposed to tell the group everything that they are experiencing now, this very second (this is ‘Gestalt Therapy’ by definition)...Now I hear the sound of the surf and the rain. Now I feel the chair against my back. Now I see so and so putting away his eyeglasses...and so on. It’s all supposed to make you more aware of what you’re experiencing in the current moment… the only people who know what they mean are the ones who have had the Esalen Experience (the German-born Jewish psychologist Fritz Perls who had fled Nazi Germany in 1933 A.D. developed Gestalt Therapy along with his wife Laura and the poet/playwright/psychotherapist Paul Goodman [a friend of author Norman Mailer] during the 1940s and 1950s and would later teach Gestalt Therapy as a way of life in workshops at the Esalen Institute from 1963 – 1969 A.D. (working alongside Fritz Perls beginning in the mid 1960s was Gabrielle Roth [partially in her occupation as a message therapist] who was as we learn from the Esalen Institute website a “witch shaman warrior priestess guru,” a member of “an ancient wisdom cult” said to work its magic through “modern rock & roll.” Gabrielle Roth it is said was a master of the ‘trance dance.’ Trance dances are typically performed as part of Shamanic magic ritual, and Dance Therapy and Music Therapy it would seem was yet another Esalen Institiute magic-based theurapeutic practice). As a The Process by Ed Sanders.

result of his studies with Fritz Perls [Fritz Perls had personally known German-Jewish psychotherapist Sigmund Freud and had even worked with Wilhelm Reich. Adolph Hitler’s rise to power had sent many such mystically-minded German-Jewish psychoanalysts scurrying to the States]; Esalen Institute co-founder Dick Price would himself incorporate elements of Buddhism and Shamanism within Fritz Perls’ Gestalt Therapy framework to develop what is called Gestalt Practice, also known as the Esalen Experience [in which ‘experience’ no doubt Gabrielle Roth had played a prominent role])… Esalen provided the philosophy for the Hippies (Esalen Institute seminarian/CIA/MKULTRA-psychiatrist Timothy Leary would himself provide the Hippie commune/cult creating impetus with his own how-to book Start Your Own Religion released in 1967 A.D.), but before the Hippie thing could catch on, they needed to find a catalyst and a sacrament. Well, Ken Kesey (a CIA/MKULTRA test-subject and creator of the ‘Acid Test’) turned out to be the catalyst and Timothy Leary (a CIA psychiatrist involved in MKULTRA research) and Owsley Stanley (who founded the band The Grateful Dead which included yet another known MKULTRA test-subject amongst its band members; Owsley Stanley had even provided copious amounts of free LSD to the Diggers group with which to fuel their Haight-Ashbury LSD psychodrama ‘street theater’ escapades [See p.116 The HaightAshbury: A History]) provided the sacrament, namely the LSD (beginning in 1965 A.D. which was, notably enough, the year The Grateful Dead was formed). Our country has never been the same since. It’s kind of hard to believe that all of this came out of an obscure little camp out in the woods that only us starving artists and philosophers know about (and of course the CIA who covertly provided its funding. History in fact often hinges upon the activities of the few). The Esalen Experience, they call it, experience being the key word, for it’s the experience that counts. For example, it’s not good enough just to read (Aldous Huxley’s book) The Doors of Perception. What you have to do is experience what’s behind the doors of perception. In other words, you have to take the acid (the LSD) and have the (LSD) experience (a practice formally known as ‘Acid Gestalt’).” - Esalen Institute in Big Sur by Colin Pringle, Esalen attendee and KCHU Prankster (As we learn from The Upstart Spring p.173: “The river of psychedelic chemicals that…moved through Big Sur [at the Esalen Institute] was…copious. Few substances that were known did not get sampled; LSD, mescaline, magic mushrooms and marijuana were high 591

on the list, with all manner of uppers and downers and lesser-known mind-scramblers farther down. The infiltration by narcotics agents that had been predicted and feared for years never came to pass, and, in retrospect, one can only wonder why.” No doubt it had something to do with Esalen’s extensive CIA and British Intelligence associations which were in fact substantial)]. It would appear Charles Manson had also had had the Esalen Experience: “To Charlie [Charles Manson], fear was the same thing as awareness. The more fear you had, the more awareness you had. The more awareness, the more love. You know what it’s like? It’s like when you’re really all scared out. You know, and you come to Now. Well, when you’re at Now, you’re totally conscious.” – Helter Skelter. Undoubtedly, LSD-proponent Charles Manson was an Esalen Institute attendee—this gives added significance to Charles Manson’s quote: “Now is the time for Helter Skelter” uttered just three days after his documented visit to Esalen Institute on August 5, 1969 A.D. [as a point of reference, Gary Hinman (a chemist involved in the illegal manufacture of mescaline, as the reader shall later discover) had been murdered by the Manson Family at the end of July in 1969 A.D. not two weeks prior to Manson’s visit to the Esalen Institute. One of the Tate murder victims (either Tate or Frykowski) had paid a visit to Esalen Institute the day before Manson’s visit, and would be dead at the hands of the Manson Family within the week on August 9th. No doubt there is a connection there (As we learn from The Upstart Spring p.239: “There were certain tenuous connecting threads between Esalen and [Charles] Manson…There was also a connection between Esalen and the [Manson Family murder] victims. The coffee heiress Abigail Folger, one of those slain in the Tate mansion, had been to seminars at Esalen, and so had several of her friends.” Additionally: “There was a report [stemming from White House aide Charles Colson] circulating that Manson had been a student at Esalen.” - Ibid p.240. This information however was largely covered up due no doubt to CIA involvement). As cryptically noted in The Upstart Spring p.16: “Many marriages, new careers, and religious awakenings have been inspired by Esalen experiences…and so have a lot of divorces and dropouts, and a few deaths.”]. It is also said Process Church leader and ex-Scientologist auditor Robert DeGrimston [who was also known to have exhorted the Esalen mantra: “Come to the Now!”] also attended workshops there at Esalen Institute [Charles Manson himself is known in fact to have been connected to the Process Church]. In fact, “Come to Now” is a 592

common phrase used by Church of Scientology [of which the the Process Church was an offshoot] auditors such as Robert DeGrimston. This is also a Theosophical Society teaching as evidenced by the following selection from its Esoteric Section’s Temple of the People: “For us there is an unending path of learning from the unknown past to the unknown future, bridged by the time called ‘now.’” At any rate, it was said LSD was a vehicle by which one’s own mind may be conveyed to a most distant point beyond time and space esoterically known as the Eternal Now, a concept [the conceptual belief that there is no past, present or future per se, but only the ‘Eternal Now’] promulgated by Late Middle Ages German mystic Meister Eckhart, a concept being openly touted at that time by MKULTRA researcher/Esalen Institute seminar leader Lawrence LeShan [See LeShan’s The Medium, the Mystic and the Physicist (1966 A.D.), the story of an MKULTRA research project in progress, itself calling for and laying the basis of further empirical study]. As Charles Manson himself explains: “My rap had always been, ‘Yesterday is dead, there is no tomorrow, only now!’” - p.150 Manson: In His Own Words by Nuel Emmons, 1986 A.D. This he learned from individuals involved with the Esalen Institute (Manson may have even been involved in Esalen’s Agnews Project [a psychosis study also known as the Schizophrenia Research Project] which began in 1968 A.D. at Agnews State Hospital [aka the Agnews Insane Asylum] in San Jose, CA). In a jail cell interview of mass murderer Charles Manson as published in the ‘Death’ issue of The Process Church of the Final Judgment’s magazine, Manson speaks of death as a “total awareness,” a way of “bringing the soul to now…endless [read: eternal] now…Now is and will be as it always has been indestructible, indescribable.” So by this reasoning, by killing his victims Manson was in essence granting them eternal life. The Now was also a concept touted in the Zen Buddhism teachings of Esalen Institute seminar leader Alan Watts: “The experience of the Now was degraded into ‘Live it up Now’ … a way to get the most out of Now. What counts, says Zen, is how you react instinctively to the Now.” – Those Curious New Cults. In the words of Allan Watts himself: “Time is a more or less human illusion… there is only Now…there never was anything but Now…never will be anything but now… Now is eternity (the so-called Eternal Now)… there is only this present moment. No past. No future.” (Hence ‘Gestalt Therapy’ as a means to actualize this teaching). As Alan Watts’ own mentor Theosophical Society-member Christmas Humphrey’s teaches in his book Zen 593

Buddhism: “Satori is the goal, the meaning and the heart of Zen… Satori is the world of perpetual [eternal] now…” And again: “…in the NOW. There isn’t any past. There isn’t any future.” - Exploration into God by George Trevelyan). Why Peter Coyote? Because Charlie used to say the coyote was the most aware creature there was. Manson Familymember Bobby Beausoleil’s band The Orkustra was indeed known as “the Diggers’ band” as it played at a number of Digger free concert events and The Orkustra is known to have shared the stage with The Grateful Dead at Diggers’ free concert events. Bobby Beausoleil was also a friend of Diggers founding-member Emmett Grogan (Peter Coyote likewise being a member of the Diggers). In fact, Bobby Beausoleil first met his friend Kenneth Anger at a Diggers’ Bacchanalian free concert event sponsored by the Berkeley-based Sexual Freedom League at the Glide Memorial Church in HaightAshbury (which festivities, according to Bobby Beausoleil, included [in accordance with sex-magic principles] “an arranged orgy.” See Anger p.143 by Bill Landis). It was at this fateful meeting where Bobby Beausoleil received his ill-fated offer to star as ‘Lucifer’ in Kenneth Anger’s film Lucifer Rising [See ‘Interviews with Bobby Beausoleil 1998-9’ by Michael Moynihan for Seconds Magazine. As we learn from p.147 Anger by Bill Landis, it was a famous San Francisco poster artist named Rick Griffin who was associated with Ken Kesey’s Acid Tests who had created the original Lucifer Rising advertising poster in 1967 A.D.]. Peter Coyote as we learn from p.160 of his book Sleeping Where I Fall once even accompanied Grateful Dead band members on a trip to England along with fellow Digger Emmett Grogan, Ken Kesey and some of Kesey’s Merry Pranksters as well as a couple of Hell’s Angels bikers there to meet with the members of The Beatles. The Diggers group itself would evolve into something they called the Free Family, a network of associated California communes which likely included the Manson Family’s commune located at Spahn Movie Ranch. One of the more notable of these Diggers’ communes was the Morning Star Ranch [also known as the Digger Farm] founded in 1966 A.D. by a bandmember from The Limeliters folk music band, a man named Louis Gottlieb [any relation to MKULTRA-head Dr. Sidney Gottlieb?] and located near San Francisco at Sebastopal, CA [this being the one-time home of Jerry Garcia located near Occidental, CA (to the north of Occidental lies the Bohemian Grove near Monte Rio), one-time home of Terrence McKenna, an associate of Dr. Ralph Metzner who worked alongside 594

Timothy Leary in Harvard University MKULTRA research projects, home as well during the 1950s to Frank and Shirley Triest whose home played host to many mystical Beatnik soirѐes including visits by Dylan Thomas, a good friend of Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner Victor Neuburg (See p.133 A LIFE ON THE FIRST WAVES OF RADICAL BOHEMIANISM IN SAN FRANCISCO ) and Esalen Institute seminarian Paul Goodman (Ibid p.193). Beat poet Richard O. Moore, a friend of Theosophical Society-member Robert Duncan (who was himself a friend of OTO-member Kenneth Anger) who started out in the same bohemian magic circle as Henry Miller and Anais Nin, was her neighbor. The site of the Carbonariassociated/Thomas Lake Harris-founded Fountain Grove commune lies closely nearby as well]. Morning Star Ranch was of course named after the Ordo Stella Matutina, in English, the Order of the Morning Star [and hence the name Morning Star Ranch], the name of a successor organization to the Theosophical Society’s magic practicing inner circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Notable amongst The Limeliters [whose 1968 A.D. album Time to Gather Seeds was recorded under the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts© record label] was band member Roger McGuinn, a later member of the rock band The Byrds [which band included David Crosby and Gram Parsons. It was The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn along with the uncredited help of OTO-member Harry Smith’s friend Bob Dylan (in collaboration with music producer Terry Melcher) who wrote the Ballad of Easy Rider for the Dennis Hopper/Peter Fonda/Terry Southern film Easy Rider], several members of which would go on to successful musical careers of their own either as solo artists or as part of other groupings including Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young* (*Charles Manson’s friend Neil Young) and The Flying Burritos Brothers, various members of which [along with Terry Melcher, Terry Southern and Dennis Hopper] were also known friends and associates of Charles Manson and the Manson Family) Instrumental to the San Francisco counter-culture scene was author/actor/poet/musician/artist/astrologer Dane Rudhyar (he was for instance associated with the aforementioned Glide Memorial Church [to give one example, Dane Rudhyar once held a debate with Gavin Arthur there (See Rudyar: Friend, Exemplar and Sage by Michael R. Meyer) generally known for its political rallies which included those staged by Black Panther members and where also lectured individuals including evangelist Billy Graham who rose to national prominence with the backing of William Randolph Hearst] as well as with the CIAassociated Esalen Institute where Dane Rudyar was known to have lectured), a friend of influential Theosophical Society-member/author Alice A. Bailey (Dane Rudyar was also a 595

friend of novelist Henry Miller whose writings are peppered with occult themes. Henry Miller was himself a frequent visitor to the Esalen Institute, he residing in a cabin nearby. Beat poet Laurence Ferlinghetti owned a Big Sur cabin at this time as well [which served as the setting for Jack Kerouac’s novel Big Sur (published 1962 A.D.), being as well the site whereat Kerouac wrote his poem ‘Sea’]) who receives credit for coining the term ‘New Age.’ Dane Rudyar was associated with the Katherine Tingley/Krotona/Point Loma Universal Brotherhood/Theosophical Society group and had been formally introduced to B.P. Wadia** (a representative of the Indian Labor Movement at the League of Nations) who at the time of his introduction in 1920 A.D. had served as Theosophical Society president Annie Besant’s own ‘right hand’ man. It was there at Krotona where Dane Rudyar had learned astrology and where he was indoctrinated into H.P. Blavatsky’s Secret Doctrine. During the 1920s Rudyar had also played bit parts and supporting roles in a number of Hollywood silent films. Dane Rudyar was in fact one of the key individuals who provided a bridge between the magical 1920s and the resurgent mystical ’60s. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Rudhyar’s astrological works were influential in the New Age movement of the 1960s and 1970s, especially among the hippies of San Francisco, where he lived and gave frequent lectures [no doubt officially as part of ULT or other San Francisco Theosophical Society sanctioned programs]. Rudhyar regarded the ‘true early hippies’ as potential harbingers of a New Age. In 1967 the scene reached its peak in the…Summer of Love in San Francisco.” Dane Rudyar was also a notable friend of metaphysician Michael R. Meyer (author of A Handbook for the Humanistic Astrologer [1974 A.D.] who hails from a family of high-degree Freemasons) who was one of MKULTRA test-subject Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters. (**B.P. Wadia was associated with The United Lodge of Theosophists [ULT] founded in 1909 A.D. by a Boston Theosophical Society-member named Robert Crosbie [1849–1919 A.D.], a close associate of William Q. Judge. In 1916 A.D. new lodges of the ULT were opened in San Francisco and in Berkeley, California [Theosophical Society-member Robert Crosbie had corresponded with H.P. Blavatsky for a number of years and would reside at Point Loma with Katherine Tingley (following the death of William Q. Judge) for a few years more, later taking up residence in Pasadena there to head up a study group which would eventually evolve into the ULT]. Upon Robert Crosbie’s death, Crosbie was replaced as the head of the ULT by Annie Besant’s former ‘right hand’ man B.P. Wadia. Besides Dane Rudhyar, speakers at ULT hosted lectures, work shops and study groups have included Dr. Jean Houston, Huston Cummings Smith, Baba Ram Dass [Richard Alpert], Stephan A. Hoeller and Ian Stevenson most if not all of whom [like Ken Kesey] were involved in CIA MKULTRA experimentations. British Intelligence agents who were known members of the ULT include Brian Stonehouse, a WWII SOE agent (the SOE was as you’ll recall the WWII British Intelligence group in which had served various members of the Theosophical Society and its magic practicing inner-circle Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Also associated with the ULT was Lama Anagarika Govinda, an associate of Rabindranath Tagore (Tagore, working in collaboration with Stella Matutina-member Evelyn Underhill, published a major translation of the work of the mystic poet Kabir [entitled 100 Poems of Kabir] in 1915 A.D. Evelyn Underhill was a close friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Arthur Machen). As we learn from Wikipedia: “Many spiritual seekers (as well as well known drug dealers/drug smugglers [included amongst whom was Julia Callan-Thompson (who resided there in 1968-1969 A.D.), British friend of Beat poet William S. Burroughs]), including the Beat poets Allan Ginsberg and Gary Snyder [accompanied by Peter Orlovsky and Beat poet Joanne Kyger, their visit taking place in 1962 A.D.], the LSD Gurus Timothy Leary and Ralph Metzner [visiting in 1964 A.D.], the psychiatrist R.D. Laing, and Tibetologist [ex-monk translator of Buddhist texts including the Tibetan Book of the Dead lauded by Timothy Leary] Robert Thurman [the father of Hollywood actress Uma Thurman (Uma Thurman stars in Kill Bill Vol. I with David Carradine, son of OTO-member John Carradine, and Michael Bowen, Jr. [Michael Bowen, Jr. (who often works with director Quentin Tarantino) being the uncle of actresses Martha Plimpton [who is related to CIA agent George Plimpton] and Ever Dawn Carradine, he also 596

being to half-brother actors Robert Carradine and Keith Carradine and the son of the CIAassociated occultist John Starr Cooke’s friend Michael Bowen and John Carradine’s ex-wife, the actress Sonia Sorel]). Uma Thurman’s mother [whom Robert Thurman married in 1967 A.D.], Nena von Schlebrügge [a Ford Modeling Agency fashion model (a number of whom would be vaulted into Hollywood stardom) in Manhattan from the ’50s and ’60s, she appears (along with Jane Fonda’s husband Roger Vadim) in Warhol Superstar Edie Sedwick’s documentary film Ciao! Manhattan (which began filming in 1967 A.D. though not completed until 1972 A.D.), is Timothy Leary’s ex-wife (they being married from 1964-1965 A.D, their marriage taking place at Leary’s Millbrook estate at the height of his LSD experimentations as documented in D.A. Pennebaker’s film You’re Nobody til Somebody Loves You). Timothy Leary is Uma Thurman’s godfather] came to visit Govinda at his ashram” on Crank’s Ridge/Hippie Hill in India, a famous stop along the so-called Hippie trail, during the 1960s and ’70s. Other visitors to Govinda’s ashram have included musicians Bob Dylan [a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith, Bob Dylan was another subject of D.A. Pennebaker’s film documentaries. D.A. Pennebaker would go on to document former Berkeley hippie Bill Clinton’s 1992 A.D. run for the presidency in his film The War Room] and Cat Stevens [who recorded and toured with bands including Jimi Hendrix]. Michael R. Meyer, straight from a stint in a California state mental hospital, would relocate to Greenwich Village from San Francisco on the advice of his psychiatrist, one “Dr. Shankar” who admittedly “was engaged in conducting LSD [Therapy] sessions.” His patient Michael R. Meyer would arrive on the Greenwich Village bohemian scene about the time of the Beats’ return from Govinda’s ashram in India. As Michael R. Meyer reveals in his book From Freak Street to Dharmapath (which book has since the publication of this document mysteriously disappeared from the internet with no [cachѐ] trace to be found [for shame; I was so looking forward to your next Illuminating installment]): “…something new and exciting was brewing in the Village (in Greenwich Village). . . and in Berkeley and San Francisco on the West Coast. It was a scene where members of the Beat generation and discontented youths…converged via the mysterious powers of LSD. It probably started in the Village during 1963, soon after Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky returned from a long pilgrimage to India, attired in sandals and Indian dress, with Benares scarves and beads (Benares in India is the holiest of the seven sacred cities of Hinduism), sporting long hair and beards, denouncing the war in Viet Nam and advocating the use of pot and LSD.” It was at this time that Michael R. Meyer began ingesting copious amounts of drugs: “During this wonderful era, I met and hung with virtually every Village notable. It never occurred to me to keep a journal or diary, but I probably attended almost every happening of the day, many of which occurred before October 1966, when LSD was outlawed. Both before and after October 1966, I tripped on large doses of acid (500mcg-1,000mcg.) a few times a week, and consumed pot and hashish daily. Ironically, and predictably, my intake of LSD substantially increased after October 1966 [when LSD was officially outlawed], as did my involvement in the distribution of the substance [which drugs were largely being supplied by the Timothy Leary-associated Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization]…There was a strong metaphysical atmosphere around the acid scene, it seemed to naturally accompany the psychedelic experience.” The self-professed drug dealer Michael R. Meyer was a frequent visitor to Timothy Leary’s Millbrook haunt, home to Leary’s League for Spiritual Discovery [LSD] which was a center of LSD research [and illicit LSD distribution as well]. Timothy Leary, we shall discover, was himself part of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love [BEL] organization. BEL trafficked heavily in drugs and the goings on involving these individuals was certainly part and parcel of this major CIAassociated international drug smuggling/drug trafficking operation).

There was in these halcyon days of yore an attempt on the part of practitioners of magic to have hallucinogenic drugs, previously outlawed (with the exception of psychiatric experimentation in a 597

sterile clinical setting), legalized as a part of religious ritual by employing an entirely Freedom-of-Religion-angle, particularly through Timothy Leary’s quasi-religious League for Spiritual Discovery (abbreviated LSD; previously defunct, Leary’s League for Spiritual Discovery was re-founded in 2006 A.D. with the stated intention to continue and expand upon its original work [which organization was in fact a center for CIA LSD drug trafficking—apparently someone in the Agency is waxing nostalgic]). The Theosophical Society-associated Esalen Institute philosopher Alan Watts was a notable proponent of the original movement at one point even arguing: “To the extent that mystical experience conforms with the tradition of genuine religious involvement, and to the extent that psychedelics induce that experience, users are entitled to some constitutional protection.” Failing in this endeavor, the British expat and Zen Buddhist philosopher Alan Watts (1915 – 1973 A.D.), a friend of Aldous Huxley (Alan Watts hosted a weekly radio program from 1953 – 1973 A.D. in Berkeley, CA which allowed him to gain a large following in the San Francisco Bay Area), in a paper entitled Psychedelics and Religious Experience originally appearing in the California Law Review, Vol. 56, No. 1, January 1968, pp. 74-85; at time of publication in 1968 A.D. Alan Watts had in his own estimation been experimenting with psychedelic drugs for “more than thirty years;” its illegalization put an end to his legal experimentations) defended the use of psychedelic drugs by putting its study into a psychological context, since the whole Constitutionally protected ‘freedom of religion’ angle wasn’t reaping the desired rewards: “The experiences resulting from the use of psychedelic drugs are often described in religious terms. They are therefore of interest to those like myself who, in the tradition of William James, are concerned with the psychology of religion.” And no small number of those individuals who in the words of Alan Watts were ‘concerned with the psychology of religion’ had been in fact CIA-commissioned psychiatrists/psychologists covertly operating under MKULTRA auspices which covert CIA operations were secretly headed up by a Doctor of Philosophy named Sidney Gottlieb who as the reader shall soon discover was a black magick sorcerer, a modern day ceremonial magician covertly employed by the U.S. government. As we learn from Wikipedia concerning the ‘Swedenborgian theologian’ Spiritualist/Harvard psychologist William James (1842 – 1910 A.D.) of whom Alan Watts so very reverently references, 598

William James being the founder of the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) for which organization he duly served as president (the ASPR is the British-affiliated American counterpart to the Society for Psychical Research [SPR] in London with which the ASPR was closely associated [one important ASPR member of note was Aleister Crowley’s friend Hereward Carrington (Hereward Carrington authored numerous books on the subjects of magic, Spiritualism and psychical research including The Coming Science [1908 A.D.], a clarion call for the “study of consciousness” [hence the emergence of ‘consciousness studies’], for the psychological “study of the mental forces and powers of the universe”) who worked (beginning in 1898 A.D.) at the ASPR under its then director James H. Hyslop, professor of logic and ethics at the Columbia University school of magic—James H. Hyslop was a close personal friend of William James. Hereward Carrington corresponded regularly at this time with both the British Intelligence agent/master ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley [Crowley had joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in 1898 A.D., becoming a member of the SPR in 1899 A.D. and was immersed himself as well in psychical research including the psychological, Spiritualist and entheogenic studies espoused by Hereward Carrington] and corresponded as well with Aleister Crowley’s own personal secretary, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Israel Regardi. Hereward Carrington was in addition an associate of stage magician/Spiritualist Harry Houdini (and Harry Houdini himself was a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Sax Rohmer as well as a friend of British Intelligence agent William Melville and certainly knew British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member Aleister Crowley as well) with whom he had carried out psychical research, with both Carrington and Houdini serving together upon the august committee of The Scientific American. Harry Houdini (who as it turns out was himself an American spy) additionally served as president of the Society of American Magicians which published a periodical called The Sphinx which in 1930 A.D. would come under the control of Master Stage Magician John Mullholland who would later be recruited by the aforementioned Dr. Sidney Gottlieb for work in the CIA’s MKULTRA program]. As we learn from William James, Theosophist by Tony Lysy: “(William) James, who became a member of the Theosophical Society in 1882, was acknowledged from 1890 until his death in 1910 as a major writer and speaker in the fields of 599

psychology, philosophy, religion, and psychical research. His fame and influence spread beyond the United States to Great Britain and Europe, and he served as president of three prestigious organizations: the American Association of Psychologists (1893), the Society for Psychical Research (1894–5), and the American Philosophical Association (1906).” Note well this link between the Theosophical Society and Harvard College/Harvard University and Harvard’s link to Aleister Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, all of which link to British and American Intelligence services. Another notable link between the SPR and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is James Henry Cousins, a member of the Dublin lodge of the Theosophical Society who was a member of the same literary(/magic) circle as Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grandmaster W.B. Yeats, George W. Russell and James Joyce. James Henry Cousins had worked on a number of psychical experiments with SPR co-founder William Fletcher Barrett [who quite likely relates to English occultist Francis Barrett]. The SPR itself links to the Royal Society [it is common for members of the Royal Society to serve as SPR presidents] notably enough through the Cambridge University-educated psychologist/parapsychologist/SPR/ASPR president William McDougall, a Fellow of the Royal Society who worked at Harvard University from 1920-1927 A.D. [it was McDougall, an associate of Theosophical Society-member/OSS spy Carl Jung, who established the Parapsychological Laboratory at Duke University (now known as the Rhine Research Center Institute for Parapsychology), placing it under the leadership of J.B. Rhine (J.B. Rhine would serve as SPR president in 1980 A.D.)]): “During his Harvard (College) years, (William) James joined in philosophical discussions with Charles (Sanders) Peirce (son of Harvard professor/mathematician/astronomer Benjamin Peirce who taught at Harvard for some 40 years. The Peirce’s are related by marriage to the Davis political family [and hence to the Bush political family as well, a number of whom were Bohemian Club members]), Oliver Wendell Holmes (Oliver Wendell Holmes was a Bohemian Club member), and Chauncey Wright that evolved into a lively group informally known as The Metaphysical Club in 1872 (The Metaphysical Club was a short-lived American version of the Metaphysical Society in Britain whose members included William Gladstone, Thomas Edward Huxley [an apothecary by both trade and tradition, Thomas Edward Huxley was an ardent supporter of Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution often used to refute the so-called 600

‘Biblical creation story.’ Thomas Edward Huxley was the grandfather of Julian Huxley and of Alan Watt’s own personal friend, Aldous Huxley], Alfred Lord Tennyson and Arthur Balfour. Thomas Edward Huxley was himself an associate of William James’ father Henry James as well)…Among (William) James’ students at Harvard University were such luminaries as Boris Sidis (a Jewish psychologist, Sidis founded the New York State Psychopathic Institute and the Journal of Abnormal Psychology), Theodore Roosevelt (26th President of the United States, SPR-member and Royal Society inductee as well as an Honorary member of the Bohemian Club. Theodore Roosevelt was the nephew of James D. Bulloch who served as head of the Confederate [CSA] Secret Service in Europe and who was largely responsible for the procurement therefrom of the Confederate naval forces employed during America’s Civil War [See p.220 Treason in America]. Theodore Roosevelt’s grandson, Kermit Roosevelt, Jr. would serve as a political action officer in the CIA’s Director of Plans under U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Director of Central Intelligence/MKULTRA architect Allen Dulles [Allen and John Foster Dulles had previously served as agents in the Bureau of Secret Intelligence (BSI), a 1916 A.D. creation of their uncle, U.S. Secretary of State Robert Lansing. Allen Dulles would be posted to Switzerland as BSI chief of Intelligence of the American Legation at Berne (See Treason in America p.524,533). Serving alongside Allen Dulles was Robert Daniel Murphy who had begun his diplomatic career in 1917 A.D. as a member of the American Legation at Bern and who would later serve as Vice-Consul in Zurich, Switzerland]. Included within the Director of Plans organization was the Counterintelligence division headed by Yale Skull and Bonesmember James Angleton under the command of CIA head Allan Dulles (the Yale Skull and Bones secret society of which the Republican Presidents Bush I and II were members was a construct of the Fabian Society [which society was composed of Theosophical Society-members and members of its magic-practicing inner-circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]. It was a Fabian Societymember named Daniel Coit Gilman who co-founded (along with militant abolitionist John Brown’s abolitionist friend William Huntington Russell,** a leader in the movement which gave birth to the Republican Party in America) the Russell Trust Association, aka the Yale Skull and Bones secret society which in its very essence was a Yale University-based faction of the Hermetic Order of the Golden 601

Dawn (** his brother Samuel Russell was the founder of Russell & Company, the largest and most important American trading house in China during the mid to late 19th century which counted amongst its employees Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s grandfather, Warren Delano, Jr.). Daniel Coit Gilman is related to Cambridge University-attendee Arthur Gilman, son of the New York City abolitionist banker Winthrop Sargent Gilman (the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn typically recruited its members from the student body of both Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England). Arthur Gilman was founder along with his wife of Radcliffe College at Harvard University). Kermit Roosevelt Jr.’s father, Kermit Roosevelt Sr. was a Harvard University grad who served in the British army during both WWI and WWII who was a friend to British P.M. Winston Churchill. Kermit Roosevelt, Sr. was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s cousin who would later promote Kermit to the rank of Major as an Intelligence officer within the United States Army itself. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had served as an Overseer of Harvard University from 1918 – 1924 A.D., as Governor of New York from 1929 – 1933 A.D., and during his presidency, as head of the American Red Cross organization [founded by Clara Barton in 1869 A.D.] whose founding membership ranks included Franklin Delano Roosevelt relative, Jane Delano. John D. Rockefeller would provide funding for the construction of the American Red Cross National Headquarters in Washington D.C. in 1915 A.D.), George Santayana (Santayana was T.S. Eliot’s philosophy teacher at Harvard University), W. E. B. DuBois (as a member of the Princeton chapter of the NAACP, Albert Einstein was in regular correspondence with W.E.B. Du Bois), G. Stanley Hall (first president of the American Psychological Association [APA] and first president of Clark University. The APA’s ‘Division 32’ [also known as the Society for Humanistic Psychology, founded 1971 A.D.] was tasked with the study of such phenomenon as altered states of consciousness, hypnosis, Shamanism, dissociation, and various other parapsychological phenomenon as led by American psychologist Stanley Krippner, Professor of Psychology at Saybrook University, a school of magic also originally founded in 1971 A.D. as the Humanistic Psychology Institute in San Francisco [OSS psychologist Gregory Bateson was a member of the Saybrook University faculty during the 1970s and also taught Humanistic Psychology at Kresge College-USC Santa Cruz along with Beat poet William Everson, aka Brother Antoninus, a close friend of Kenneth Rexroth. Another 602

prominent faculty member was Rollo May, a former student of psychiatrist Alfred Adler]. The Grateful Dead rock group volunteered to participate in a dream telepathy experiment under Dr. Stanley Krippner in 1971 A.D. [See Krippner, S., Honorton, C., & Ullman, M. (1973). An experiment in dream telepathy with “The Grateful Dead.” Journal of the American Society of Psychosomatic Dentistry and Medicine, 20, 9 - 17]. Stanley Krippner has co-authored a recent book entitled Demystifying Shamans and Their World: An Interdisciplinary Study [2011 A.D.], and also served as editor for Mysterious Minds: The Neurobiology of Psychics, Mediums and Extraordinary People [2010 A.D.]. The Spiritualist Movement as well as its associated magic practices is alive and well today, and completely government sanctioned, I might add. Another link between the APA and magic is APA president [1912 A.D.] Edward Thorndike. It was Thorndike’s brother Lynn Thorndike who would publish his findings during an extensive study of magic in two exhaustive tomes entitled A History of Magic and Experimental Science [published in 1923 A.D.] wherein he eventually finally concludes as many had before him: “…our material has conclusively shown that the history of magic is bound up with the history of science…” (and as Thorndike also therein explains concerning the confluence of magic and science: “The fallen angels in particular are mentioned in the Book of Enoch. Two hundred angels lusted after the comely daughters of men and bound themselves by oaths to marry them. After having thus taken unto themselves wives, they instructed the human race in the art of magic… The revelation included, moreover, not only magic arts, witchcraft, divination, and astrology, but also natural sciences, such as botany and pharmacy which, however, are apparently regarded as closely akin to magic.” [Ibid Vol I p.343-344]. And again: “The Pistis-Sophia assumes the usual attitude of the condemnation of magic so-called. Among the evils which Jesus informs his followers to renounce are superstition and invocations and drugs and magic potions.” [Ibid Vol I p.377]. There can be no doubt that Thorndike’s findings were influential on the development of the MKULTRA program as Thorndike also therein speaks of the: “…vast powers, not only medicinal and physical, but of divination and magic, over the mind and affections…” [Ibid Vol I p.780] of an individual that was to be garnered through a scientific application of the various aspects thereof). The infamous MKULTRA mind-control researcher Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron [who in years prior had worked with Allen Dulles in the OSS during WWII], himself 603

served as APA president from 1952–1953 A.D., a testament to the APA’s OSS/CIA associations. Even psychical/paranormal phenomena and LSD experimentation [as part of government funded research projects (presumably including UFO channeling)] meet UFO investigations itself in American Society for Psychical Research/American Association for the Advancement of Science (the AAAS* in Boston, MA [*the president of which was Harvard University astronomer Walter Orr Roberts] playing host to a UFO symposium in 1969 A.D. attended by many of the famous government research scientists/astronomers/astrophysicists/ufologists of the period)/American Psychiatric Association Fellow Berthold E. Schwarz, a psychiatrist (he analyzing a number of the UFO contactees of his day)/consultant for the Hermetic Order of the Golden DawnOTO-British Intelligence-associated British Lord Desmond Leslie’s Flying Saucer Review [FSR] magazine [during the 1960s, the Directors of the Flying Saucer Review included Charles Harvard Gibbs-Smith, a descendent of John Harvard, founder of Harvard College, they often being joined in this endeavor by ufologist Dr. J. Allen Hynek [a colleague of OTO-lodge leader Jack Parsons’ friend Jacques Vallee (Vallee also being a friend of Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey whose high priest was Army Intelligence/NSA officer Michael Aquino. Jacques Vallee was, as noted by Aquino in his history of the church entitled The Church of Satan p.210 [Fifth Edition], a member of The Church of Satan itself)], scientific advisor to the U.S. Air Force under top secret UFO research Projects Sign, Grudge and Bluebook [See FSR: The Kabbalah by Dr. Bernard E. Finch, an RAF surgeon/FSR Director (FSR94V39N2)]—contributors to FSR included OSS agent/psychiatrist/ufologist/Theosophical Society-member C.G. Jung. FSR editor/SPR-member Gordon Creighton who was at the time of his involvement with Flying Saucer Review as he explains in FSR97V42N1, serving: “…after a diplomatic career…in an Intelligence post somewhere in the governmental and administrative heart of London [Creighton served in the Ministry of Defense which was involved in British Air Ministry/RAF UFO investigations. Creighton was witness to a UFO sighting in 1941 A.D. (See FSR2001/V46N4)]…well placed to make social contacts with people of various services, including officers of the CIA and of the American Air Force Intelligence” [who were likewise involved in official U.S. government UFO investigations. Flying Saucer Review was serving as a front for top secret UFO government investigations 604

and as an organ for covert propaganda purposes as well]. [Flying Saucer Review-founder Desmond Leslie himself was married from 1945-1969 A.D. to a former OSS agent named Agnes Bernelle. During WWII Agnes Bernelle had worked under PWE-head Sefton Delmer under who had also served Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member/superspy Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick]. FSR consultant Dr. Berthold E. Schwarz was associated with Stanley Krippner’s colleague/ONI Navy Intelligence officer/NSA/CIA psychiatrist Dr. Carl W. Schleicher’s Washington D.C.-based Rockefeller Foundationfunded Mankind Research Foundation/Mankind Research Unlimited (founded 1973 A.D.), a NSA/CIA MKULTRA psychotronics research organization [‘psychotronics’ is the Czech term for ‘parapsychology]’ geared towards the creation of electromagnetic microwave mind control electronic weapons systems. Mankind Research Unlimited was associated with the Paraphysical Laboratory UFO Observatory founded by members of the Society for Psychical Research [SPR] in Britain during the mid 1960s operating in Downton, Wilshire, England located to the south of Salisbury Plain [where Stonehenge is located] near the New Forest which specialized in Russian/Czech psychotronic investigations and which had advertised subscriptions to its Journal of Paraphysics in Desmond Leslie’s Flying Saucer Review magazine. Among FSR consultant Dr. Berthold E. Schwarz’s research associates was psychical researcher/parapsychologist/ufologist/UFO contactee Brad Steiger [See p.15 of Brad Steiger’s book, The Star People), Ralph Barton Perry, Gertrude Stein (Gertrude Stein’s many associates included Ezra Pound [Ezra Pound was APA president/psychiatrist Winfred Overholser’s most famous patient. Overholser, a 33° Scottish Rite Freemason/associate of 33° Freemason J. Edgar Hoover, served as chairman of the "truth drug'' committee for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during WWII, yet another APA link to the OSS/CIA]. Ezra Pound was a friend of Dublin Theosophical Society-member/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats), Horace Kallen (member of the American Philosophical Society [originally founded by the Illuminus statesman Benjamin Franklin and for which organization William James also served as president], the Society for Psychical Research [the SPR], the Zionist Organization of America, and the Palestine Development Council. Note this SPR link to the founding of Israel. Horace Kallen, a Jewish philosopher who lectured at Harvard University, was a Princeton professor personally hired for his position by the then Princeton 605

president Woodrow Wilson who would later serve as President of the United States), Morris Raphael Cohen (an instructor at the CIAassociated New School of Social Research), Walter Lippmann (Walter Lippman, a member of the American Fabian Society, was cofounder of The New Republic magazine [which derives its name from Spiritualist Thomas Lake Harris’ 1891 A.D. novel by the very same name. The New Republic has been described as the “premiere literary outlet for writers close to CIA leadership” amongst whose ranks is included poet/author William Carlos Williams (he being a prime example of this fact seeing as how William Carlos Williams was a ‘close’ associate of Allen Dulles’ counterintelligence czar James Angleton). The former Vice-President under U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, namely, Henry A. Wallace, a 32° Scottish Rite Freemason, would serve as this magazine’s editor following Wallace’s removal from office in 1946 A.D. Henry A. Wallace had been personally hired for this job by Michael Whitney Straight whose family owned The New Republic magazine and who was, as it turns out, a KGB spy, he being famously enough one of the infamous Cambridge Five [a group of Cambridge University Cambridge Apostles members] of Soviet spies with ties to British Intelligence agent/author Ian Fleming, British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley’s case officer. Russian spy Michael Whitney Straight had even served as a speech writer for President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself. Michael Whitney Straight had been outted as a Russian spy while being vetted for a position in the presidential administration of President John F. Kennedy [JFK himself had served as an Overseer of Harvard University prior to his presidential election]. Michael Whitney Straight had been recruited as a KGB spy by the Russian double agent/British MI5 agent Anthony Blunt while he was a Cambridge University student. Anthony Blunt notably enough had been a member of the Honorable Fraternity of the Amici secret society along with Theosophical Society-member Louis MacNeice, likely himself a British Intelligence agent as well)], Walter Lippman was an influential journalist who served as an ‘informal’ advisor to several U.S. presidents; as must be noted at this point, it was the Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles, a former director of the Council on Foreign Relations [CFR], who authorized the CIA’s MKULTRA project. The CFR itself [one founding member of which was Allen Dulles’ brother John Foster Dulles] stemmed from a consortium of scholars assembled after World War I dubbed “The 606

Inquiry” [this group was succeeded by the American Commission to Negotiate Peace which included Yale Skull and Bones members Clive Day and Charles Seymour. Charles Seymour was Yale University president, 1937 – 1951 A.D.]. “The Inquiry” group itself [and hence the founding membership ranks of the CFR] included Walter Lippmann [and Paul Warburg] and President Woodrow Wilson’s presidential advisor, Edward M. House [Edward M. House’s British father had been a gunrunner for the Confederacy running guns into Texas during the American Civil War (See Treason in America p.525) and President Woodrow Wilson’s own father served as a chaplin in the Confederate Army]. Edward M. House served on the League of Nations Commission on Mandates (think: British Mandate for Palestine) with Coefficients Club members Lord Milner and Lord Robert Cecil [the British Coefficients Club was one of the precursors of the Fabian Society whose membership ranks was largely composed of Theosophical Society and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members. Walter Lippman had joined the British Fabian Society in 1909 A.D. Edward M. House links to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Samuel T. Untermyer through his colleague, U.S. Supreme Court Justice/Harvard Law School grad Louis Brandeis]. One quite notable Edward M. House associate was British spy Sir William Wiseman who acted as a liaison between President Woodrow Wilson [for whom Robert Lansing (related by marriage to Allen and John Foster Dulles) served as Secretary of State] and House’s own British government [future U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt had served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Woodrow Wilson, a position second only to that of the Secretary of the Navy, a position held by FDR’s own close friend Josephus Daniels who oversaw U.S. Navy operations during WWI, on whose Navy Consulting Board sat Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison. A portion of the FDR-instituted New Deal relief funds would be used to build U.S. Navy warships]. The British superspy Sir William Wiseman along with Major General Julius Klein were both individuals closely associated with Edward M. House. As we learn from Dope, Inc., Major General Julius Klein [a Jewish descendent of the House of David (See The Unbroken Chain by Neil Rosenstein) and former criminal reporter for the Hearst Corporation’s State Herald newspaper in Chicago] had played a major role in the covert arming of Jewish militant groups including Haganah and later in the supplying of the nascent Jewish state of Israel with arms. Major General Julius Klein 607

would begin his service in 1946 A.D. as a special assistant to FDR’s [former] Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson [a one-time CFR president, Patterson was a law partner in the Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler law firm whose notable employees include former Time Warner© Chairman/CEO Richard Parsons [Parsons received his Time Warner© post through the recommendation of Laurence Rockefeller (during the 1980s and 90s Richard Parsons had lived in a house on the Rockefeller estate, he being the grandson of a devoted Rockefeller family servant. Richard Parsons today is a trustee and board member of a number of Rockefeller family NGOs and was a member of Barack Obama’s economic advisory team responsible for bailouts of TBTF [Too Big to Fail] banks during the 2008 A.D. economic crisis. The Rockefeller-owned Citibank© bank has been a major recipient of President Barack Obama’s TARP bailout fund program)]. Both the Council on Foreign Relations [the CFR] and its sister British organization the Royal Institute of International Affairs** were born of the Paris Peace Conference [**at its inception the Royal Institute of International Affairs was chaired by Lord Robert Cecil and directed by Arnold J. Toynbee (Toynbee worked for the Political Intelligence Department of the British Foreign Office [the forerunner of Britain’s MI6] under H.G. Wells during World War I and again during World War II would serve as chief of the combined British Intelligence services) and is today referred to as Chatham House, it being housed in the former residence of three British Prime Ministers including amongst which group was William Gladstone]), Alain Locke, C.I. Lewis (a prominent American Kantian philosopher), and Mary Calkins…(William) James interacted with a wide array of writers and scholars throughout his life, including his godfather Ralph Waldo Emerson (William James’ father was the American Swedenborgian theologian and Spiritist Henry James, Sr., a friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson was also an associate of Freemason/Spiritualist/Theosophical Society-member Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who has peppered occult themes throughout the writings of his Sherlock Holmes detective series. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself was a personal acquaintance of A.P. Sinnett, a one-time president of the Theosophical Society), his godson William James Sidis, as well as Charles Sanders Peirce (Charles Sanders Peirce, along with OSS agents Gregory Bateson and Walter Lippman are considered to be key Communications Studies scholars, particularly as they relate to the field of psychology), Bertrand Russell (a Fabian 608

Society member whose societal ranks as mentioned above included both members of the Theosophical Society and its magic-practicing inner circle The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), Josiah Royce, (physicist) Ernst Mach (Ernst Mach’s godson, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli would work with Theosophical Societymember/OSS spy Carl Jung on Jung’s ‘synchronicity’ studies—Carl Jung would work with physicist/Manhattan Project scientist Albert Einstein in this regard as well. Amongst Wolfgang Pauli’s colleagues was Kristine “Miss X” Mann with whom he took part in Carl Jung’s dream symbolism studies as outlined in Jung’s treatise Individual Dream Symbolism in Relation to Alchemy. Kristine Mann’s nephew, physicist Holbrook Mann MacNeille, had worked for the United States Atomic Energy Commision and was during WWII head of the London Mission of Vannevar Bush’s Office of Scientific Research and Development which played a leading role in the establishment of the Manhattan Project giving birth to America’s first atomic bomb), John Dewey (John Dewey served with Albert Einstein and Thomas Mann [whose son Golo Mann is known to have been an OSS spy] on the founding advisory board of the First Humanist Society of New York. The First Humanist Society of New York was founded in 1929 A.D. by Charles Francis Potter whose advisory board also included Julian Huxley, the brother of Aldous Huxley whose own ‘mentor’ was poet/spy William Carlos Williams, a ‘close’ associate of DCI Allen Dulles’ counterintelligence czar James Angleton. It would appear Aldous Huxley was himself a British spy as well), Walter Lippmann (see above), Mark Twain (Mark Twain, pen name of author Samuel Clemens, was an early member of the Society for Psychical Research, a Theosophical Society member and a Bohemian Club member as well—note this Theosophical Society/Society for Psychical Research link to the Bohemian Club which links in fact run deep. Mark Twain’s ‘spirit’ after his death was the most popular disembodied persona to be summoned during Spiritualist séances of the day. Mark Twain had himself personally known Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison, a pioneer of filmmaking technology), Horatio Alger, Jr., Henri Bergson (Henri Bergson and William James were themselves great friends, with William James doing much to promote Henri Bergson’s own philosophical writings. Henri Bergson’s sister Moina was married to S.L. Macgregor Mathers who was serving at this time as Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Mather’s associate, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO 609

member Aleister Crowley links to William James and Co. quite notably enough through the German-Jewish Harvard University professor Hugo Muensterberg [variously spelled Munsterberg— Muensterberg was also a friend of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt]: “Muensterberg…is best known…as one of the fathers of modern psychology. William James helped entice him to Harvard in 1892 where, except for frequent visits to his beloved Germany, Muensterberg remained for the rest of his life…His writings include a pioneering work [entitled The Photoplay (1916 A.D.)] on the influence of motion pictures on mass psychology [as we learn from The Photoplay, this ‘influence’ works on the premise of hypnotism/mindcontrol. As Muensterberg therein explains: “The spellbound audience in a theater or in a picture house is certainly in a state of heightened suggestibility and is ready to receive suggestions,” behavioral prompts which then of course are subconsciously introduced as the movie thenceforth progresses. As Muensterberg additionally reveals: “…it is evident that such a penetrating influence must be fraught with dangers. The more vividly the impressions force themselves on the mind (where they are imprinted upon the subconscious), the more easily must they become starting points for imitation and other motor responses. The sight of crime and of vice may (subconsciously) force itself on the consciousness with disastrous results. The normal resistance breaks down and the moral balance, which would have been kept under the habitual stimuli of the narrow routine life, may be lost under the pressure of the realistic suggestions…(to a varying degree depending upon the individual) the general spirit of righteousness, of honesty, of sexual cleanliness and modesty, may be weakened by the unbridled influence of plays [and films and television showsbI might add] of low moral standard.” Muensterberg notes this potential to influence the thinking of whole societies through the process of filmmaking is in fact immense as: “…millions are daily under the spell of the performances on the screen.” As Muensterberg therein concedes, “moral devastation” may occur when “scenes of vice or crime are shown with all their lure and glamour” and the repeated exposure to such cinematic violence serves only to desensitize the mind to immoral depravities [no doubt this was one of the underlieing considerations in the institution of film industry codes such as The Motion Picture Production Code (which would eventually give way to the MPAA Rating System) which states: “No picture shall be produced which will lower the moral standards of those who see it.”]. Muensterberg’s 610

theories certainly explains Hollywood’s and various actor’s and screenwriter’s, director’s and producer’s [and even authors, theatrical companies, plays and playwright’s] connections to our Illuminati story [for more information on brainwashing techniques applicable through the medium of television, filmmaking, etc., turn now to Appendix G; interestingly enough, seminars are also an effective brainwashing medium as is also therein explained, interesting in that many individuals within our story were thoroughly engrossed in this pursuit as well]; such professions also provide excellent cover stories for spies and smugglers of every stripe, assassins etc. involved in any of these vocations, a reason to be at any place at any given time and often provides such persons with access to high-powered individuals normally inaccessible to the masses (actors, actresses and musicians often find an audience at places such as the White House and at the command performances of the Queen, though many may be there covertly receiving orders and/or special training, or receiving awards such as Knighthoods and Presidential Medals of Freedom for services thusly rendered) and provides them as well with an all essential lucrative source of income and/or funding]…Muensterberg took a deep interest in paranormal phenomena…” – p.75 Secret Agent 666; it was Gestalt psychology’s theory of the cognitive mind [developed by a trio of German psychologists including physicist Max Planck’s student Wolfgang Köhler [Wolfgang Köhler would serve as president of the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1959 A.D.] and Max Wertheimer who would himself go on to teach at The New School of Social Research] which identified the so-called ‘Phi phenomenon’ [defined as the optical illusion of perceiving continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession of which the art of cinematography and cartoon animation/stop motion techniques are quite classic examples] upon which Harvard psychologist Hugo Muensterberg based his own cinematic theories) and Sigmund Freud (Sigmund Freud’s most notable student was Theosophical Societymember, Spiritualist, UFOlogist, psychiatrist and OSS spy Carl Jung. Sigmund Freud’s nephew Edward Bernays [Sigmund Freud’s wife Martha Bernays was the granddaughter of Talmudist Rabbi Isaac Bernays, Chief Rabbi of Hamburg in Germany (Hamburg is a major banking city, home to the Warburg family’s M. M. Warburg & Co. megabank, parent company of the S.G. Warburg & Co. bank founded in 1946 A.D. [aquired by UBS in 1995 A.D.] in the City of London by MI6/SIS spy/diagnosed schizophrenic Siegmund George Warburg, a 611

general partner from 1953-1964 A.D. of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. As the Talmud is wedded to witchcraft and witchcraft is wedded to spydom, so is witchcraft and spydom wedded to schizophrenia, aka demonic possession, as well), the Bernays family Bavarian connections, home to the Bavarian Illuminati, being quite extensive in themselves], a pioneer in the fields of propaganda and public relations, was a ‘friend’ of British Intelligence head H.G. Wells who put so many of that other father of lies Edward Bernay’s theories into practice) (As we learn from Psychology Wiki: “[William] James interacted with a wide array of writers and scholars throughout his life, including his godfather Ralph Waldo Emerson, [Young America youth movement member] Horace Greeley, William Cullen Bryant, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., Charles Sanders Peirce, Josiah Royce, Ernst Mach, [New School of Social Research founder] John Dewey, Helen Keller, [Theosophical Society-member] Mark Twain, James Frazer [author of The Golden Bough, a famous book on the subject of magic and witchcraft], Henri Bergson [brother-in-law of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master S.L. MacGregor Mathers], H.G. Wells [head of British Intelligence during WWI], G.K. Chesterton, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Jung.”)…The investigation of mystical experience (in particular, psychical research including the psychology of Spiritism/Spiritualism, magic, Shamanism and the entheogens associated therewith as well as their effects upon the human psyche) was constant throughout the life of James, leading him to experiment with chloral hydrate (1870) (also known as ‘knockout drops.’ A solution of the sedative chloral hydrate in alcohol was the essential ingredient of a Mickey Finn. Marilyn Monroe had chloral hydrate in her system at the time of her death. It was also one of the ingredients of the poisoned cool-aid concoction employed at the infamous Jonestown Massacre), amyl nitrite (1875) (a psychotropic entheogen. Psychotropic drugs such as amyl nitrite are commonly administered to psychiatric patients; this practice would later extend to include LSD as such a therapeutic drug. The APA through its American Journal of Psychiatry would selfpromote the entheogenic psychotropic alchemical drug market into what today is a multi-billion dollar drug industry [though pay no attention to the legally mandated small print]: Use of these products will cause side effects which may of course include hallucinations, disorientation, confusional states especially in the elderly, delusions, euphoria, depression, agitation, rage, hyperexcited states, nightmares [as the demons, as exemplified by Freddy Krueger in Nightmare on 612

Elm Street, work their way inside your head], insomnia [as you try to keep from falling asleep], cardiac arrest [as the demons, also as exemplified by Freddy Krueger, kill you in your dreams], suicide, and my very, very personal favorite, exacerbation of psychosis. If any of these symptoms should occur, discontinue drug use and immediately call a lawyer. All kidding aside, psychotropic drugs themselves rarely cure mental illness—they merely mask, suppress and even oft times aggravate the symptoms (Notable Quote: “Although occasional claims have been made that psychotic patients have been helped [by LSD Therapy], the consensus is that LSD is not for them. The borderline psychotic is a precarious patient because of the danger that he may decompensate and fall into a full-blown psychosis.” – The Beyond Within: The LSD Story by Dr. Sidney Cohen, 1964 A.D.). It is also extremely interesting to note psychiatrists have the highest suicide rate amongst all known professions and depending upon statistical source are 2 – 6 times more likely to commit suicide than the average member of the population), nitrous oxide (1882) (commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide was used as a recreational drug at ‘laughing gas parties’ beginning in 1799 A.D. particularly amongst the British upper classes and is a common sedative used in dentistry and was even as we learn from the book Art Magic employed in Spiritualist/magic circles of the day for inducing a state of trance), and even peyote (1896)” (peyote is a common, well known psychotropic entheogen [such psychotropic drugs serve as a chemical short-cut to the Overshadowing process]. As noted by John Cashman in The LSD Story [1966 A.D.]: “Botanists discovered peyote in 1892 after samples of the plant were brought back to laboratories by explorers who had witnessed the [Shamanic] peyote rituals of the Mexican Indians. The hallucinogenic alkaloid of the plant, mescaline, was isolated in 1896. Sigmund Freud, William James, Havelock Ellis and others became interested in the hallucinogenic aspects of mescaline, and in the early decades of this century there was much thought, discussion and experimentation with the new drug. The most important aspect of the peyote experimentation was the possible link between mental diseases and the chemistry of the body… The hallucinogenic power of peyote, although of marginal importance in laboratories, was given another life outside the laboratory. In the hands of poets and philosophers peyote was touted as the great shortcut to mystical experience…” this of course keeping with its wholly Shamanic tradition). As occultist Lewis Spence explains in An Encylopaedia of Occultism: “In order to find an explanation for the spiritualist phenomena (observed during 613

Spiritualist séances), its members (members of the Society for Psychical Research, first and formost of whom was William James) journeyed into the domain of psychology, and studied automatism, hallucinations and thought transference.” William James and Harvard University are mutual links between all of these seemingly diverse magic practicing/Spiritist/Spiritualist/psychiatric groups, with Harvard University being quite the experimental school of magic. MKULTRA, some of which experiments were likewise conducted at Harvard University, can trace its genesis through a direct link with Theosophical Society-member William James and Company for as we learn from MKULTRA researcher Michael Hollingshead in The Man Who Turned on the World (1973 A.D.): “…the genealogical line of research in altered consciousness (read: the experimentation of the effects of entheogens upon the human consciousness, what Hollingshead himself refers to as “The Great Work of Magical SelfLiberation” [Pertinent Quote: “The attainment of a higher consciousness (sometimes referred to as Cosmic Consciousness) is the Magnum opus, the great work…” - Magic, White and Black by Franz Hartmann, 1886 A.D.]) at Harvard starts with (Theosophical Societymember) William James and from him spreads to Morton Prince (Morton Prince was one of the fathers of clinical psychology; he was also like William James before him immersed in psychical research including the empirical study of Spiritualism). And after Prince came another giant of psychology: Henry A. Murray. Professor Murray used fantasy, dream legend, folklore, mystic vision, poetry and esoteric writings (read: Murray employed traditional magic practices including Shamanism and ceremonial magic) as the raw material of his work on human personality (as pioneered by psychical researcher Frederich Myers).” Notably enough, during World War II Henry A. Murray had served as a lieutenant colonel for the Office of Strategic Services (the OSS) under William ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan, wartime head of the OSS, and following WWII Henry A. Murray would engross himself in MKULTRA research at the Harvard Psychological Clinic Annex (Henry A. Murray connects to fellow OSS agent/Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung through his colleague Christiana Morgan with whom he co-developed a method for psychological assessment known as the Thematic Apperception Test; Christiana Morgan had worked with Carl Jung in Zurich, Switzerland during the 1920s. Carl Jung, himself an OSS agent, it is important to note, served as the Dulles’ family’s personal psychiatrist. At the end of the war, the OSS 614

would morph itself into the CIA. It was DCI Allan Dulles who had at the first instituted MKULTRA). Another CIA psychologist conducting MKULTRA experimentations at Harvard University was Timothy Leary and his colleague Richard Alpert (Richard Alpert was a ‘friend’ of Ken Kesey, a well known MKULTRA test subject), as well as Timothy Leary’s aforementioned assistant, the British psychiatrist/Harvard University teacher Michael Hollingshead (Hollingshead’s class at Harvard was strictly devoted to LSD research and served predominantly as LSD trip planning sessions). Hollingshead is credited with ‘turning on’ to Zurich-based Sandoz Labs-supplied LSD (no doubt under MKULTRA auspices) such notable personas as Alan Watts, Huston Cummings Smith, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Krassner [Krassner was a member of MKULTRA test subject Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters], The Rolling Stones’ band member Keith Richards and his friends, Beatles’ band members John Lennon (at whose Bed-In Timothy Leary was present**), Paul McCartney and George Harrison, the Scottish singer Donovan (Donovan, whose songs included such chart-busting hits as ‘Season of the Witch,’ was a friend of both The Beatles’ and Rolling Stones’ band members as well as being a friend to the resident Esalen Institute folk festival musician Joan Baez and had also collaborated on a number of mid 1960s music projects with Kenneth Anger’s friend Jimmy Page. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Donovan had all shared the same business manager, Jewish record exec Allen Klein) as well as distinguished Hollywood filmmaker Roman Polanski, all individuals who are of course quite central to our story. Note well this common MKULTRA denominator. Michael Hollingshead had worked with CIA counter-intelligence czar James Angleton’s poet/spy friend W.H. Auden at the Institute for British American Cultural Exchange in New York (** W.H. Auden had sat on the group’s Board of Directors [notice this use of cultural exchanges/exchange programs as fronts for Intelligence activities]. To illustrate just how very interconnected this banana bunch really was, as Paul Krassner confesses in a Rolling Stone© magazine article entitled My Trip With Squeaky: Just One of Charlie's Girls [1975 A.D.], Krassner tells the story of how he had obtained “…a supply of original Owsley White Lightning—LSD I had purchased from Richard Alpert to finance his trip to India where he became [the Tantra sex-magic guru] Baba Ram Dass…” some of which supply of LSD he and Manson Familymember Squeaky Fromme would later ingest while sharing an LSD 615

experience) (The following information is included as it is essential in drawing associations, providing common links between seemingly unrelated individuals, groups and secret societies, as another notable link in our magical little chain was the British Lady Ottoline: “The Lady Ottoline Violet Anne Morrell (16 June 1873 – 21 April 1938) was an English aristocrat and society hostess. Her patronage was influential in artistic and intellectual circles… Lady Ottoline remained a regular host to the adherents of the Bloomsbury Group, in particular Virginia Woolf, and to many other artists and authors, who included (Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) WB Yeats, LP Hartley (a friend of Aldous Huxley and Lord David Cecil. Aldous Huxley himself was also a member of the Bloomsbury Group), (and) T.S. Eliot (also included in the Bloomsbury Group was economist John Maynard Keynes and the William James-associated philosopher Bertrand Russell. It was headquartered notably enough at Gordon Square, Bloomsbury, in central London, close to the British Museum, ground zero of Illuminati intrigues. John Maynard Keynes himself [the father of Keynesian Economics] was a high official with the British Treasury and was economic advisor to British P.M. David Lloyd George under whose ministerial watch Palestine was seized and the Balfour Declaration issued)…She was the inspiration for Mrs. Bidlake in Aldous Huxley’s Point Counter Point, for Hermione Roddice in D.H. Lawrence’s Women in Love (deemed in its day to be indecent, licentious, and lewd, this book became the motivating factor for Justice Ford’s introduction of the Clean Books bill in the New York legislature [See Fifty Years Of Freethought, pp.243-4]. These were the days of the Comstock laws which prohibited the sale and distribution of obscene materials in most American states, both decrees being outgrowths of the British Obscene Publications Act 1857), for Lady Caroline Bury in Graham Greene’s It's a Battlefield, and for Lady Sybilline Quarrell in Alan Bennett’s Forty Years On.” – Wikipedia: Lady Ottoline Morrell. No doubt Lady Ottoline played no small role in our little spy-filled literary saga. One notable group associated with the Fabian Society was The Fellowship of the New Life (for which assembly the Fabian Society was constituted as a political arm) founded in 1883 A.D. by the Scottish-American philosopher Thomas Davidson, to which was associated Edward Carpenter and George Bernard Shaw (Thomas Davidson was best known for his work with The Educational Alliance whose main purpose was to serve as a settlement house for Eastern European Jews immigrating to 616

New York City). Edward Carpenter (29 August 1844 – 28 June 1929) (a founding member of The Fellowship of the New Life) was instrumental in the foundation of the Fabian Society as well as with the founding of its own political arm, the British Labour Party. Edward Carpenter himself was a close friend of Humanist poet Walt Whitman [Whitman was a member of the anarchistic (read: Youth Movement) Locofocos group involved in the Flour Riot of 1837] and the Humanist Bengalese Hindu Brahmin Rabindranath Tagore [Tagore, working in collaboration with Stella Matutina-member Evelyn Underhill, published a major translation of the work of the Sufi mystic poet Kabir (100 Poems of Kabir) in 1915 A.D. Evelyn Underhill was a close friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Arthur Machen. Evelyn Underhill, along with British Labour Party leader/Theosophical Society-member George Lansbury, a close associate of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant, had been members of the Anglican Pacifist Fellowship [additionally, Aldous Huxley and Bertrand Russell were at the same time members of the British Peace Pledge Union of which George Lansbury served as president; both of these complementary groups supported Nazi appeasement prior to the outbreak of World War II], and carried out correspondences [an early form of what we know as ‘networking’] with many famous figures including Theosophical Society president Annie Besant, the San Francisco-born dancer Isadora Duncan [Isadora Duncan (whose patron was British stage actress Beatrice Stella Tanner, a friend of George Bernard Shaw) was a friend of Aleister Crowley; it was with Isadora Duncan’s close friend, OTO-member Mary D’Estѐ Sturges, that Crowley performed his Abuldiz Working magic ritual in 1911 A.D. (during which magic ritual Crowley contacted ‘Abuldiz,’ an extraterrestrial intelligence with whom ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee purportedly had also been in contact. See p.95 Outside the Circles of Time). Isadora Duncan and Mary D’Este Sturges (it was the D’Este family, aka the House of Este, which produced England’s Gemanic Hanovarian monarchs. The House of Este is also linked by marriage to the Carbonari-allied House of Savoy and to the magical De Medici family as well [one of Mary D’Este’s 16th Century royal forebears had married a daughter of Cosimo de Medici one of whose male royal issues would marry royalty from the House of Savoy. Various royal members of these noble Houses would subsequently intermarry thereafter. Such marriages were meant to cement political alliances. It was a branch of 617

this family which would rule the Carbonari Kingdom of Italy from 1861 A.D. until the end of World War II. It must be remembered, many magic rituals are designed for making pacts with the devil who is very quite capable of granting political and economic power: “And the devil, taking him [Jesus] up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.” – Luke 4:5-7. These people were worshipping Satan, making pacts with the devil in a bid to gain worldly political power]) had at a crucial historical junction in the history of Nazism shared a villa in the Bavarian town of the Illuminus composer Richard Wagner’s hometown of Bayreuth (home to the operatic Wagner-centric Bayreuth Festival [Arthur Balfour himself had ties to Wagner’s wife Cosima Wagner and even “shared many of her anti-Semitic postulates” (See Treason in America p.464 as well as his biography, Arthur James Balfour pp.139,157); descendents of Wagner play host to this festival to this day (Wagner ties to the Carbonari through his mentor Franz Liszt [Wagner’s wife Cosima was Liszt’s daughter], an associate of the Carbonari Emperor Franz Joseph, King of Bavaria and through Wagner’s own devoted patron, Ludwig II, King of Bavaria. Of an interesting note, Franz Liszt was also a close aquaintance of Leeds Music Festival conductor/composer Arthur Sullivan, a British Freemason who was additionally associated with the Gaiety Theater with which was associated various members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Of an interesting note, many psychologists associated with William James including Hugo Muensterberg, G. Stanley Hall, APA President James McKeen Cattell and APA President Charles Hubbard Judd all studied at the University of Leipzig under German physician/psychologist Wilhelm Wundt, largely touted as the father of scientific psychology. The University of Leipzig was the alma mater of various eminent Germanic philosophers including Leibniz [a member of the House of Hanover], Nietzsche and Goethe as well as German composer Richard Wagner [and current German Chancellor Angela Merkel, by training a physical chemist** (read: an alchemist) who along with Harvard University-grad Barack Obama and Queen Elizabeth II of the German House of Hanover heads up the Western bloc which largely controls the world (**Pertinent Quote: “At one time chemists were considered magicians.” - Witchcraft for All by Louise Huebner, 1970 A.D.)]). Bayreuth had 618

been an appanage for the descendents of the Rosicrucian King Frederick William II of Prussia), a center of Nazi ideology which played an essential role in the burgeoning fortunes of Adolf Hitler and his NSDAP, an organization better known as the German Nazi party— Hitler had even once delivered a speech at Richard Wagner’s villa Wahnfried. On Kristallnacht in 1938 A.D., Bayreuth’s Jewish synagogue was destroyed and 145 members of Bayreuth’s Jewish residents were slaughtered by paramilitary forces loyal to Adolf Hitler. Bavaria had also been the scene of Hitler’s failed Beer Hall Putsch. It has been alleged Hitler was a British spy [Britain has long had an association with the Germanic peoples since the days of the Hanoverian Succession beginning in 1701 A.D. with the signing of the Act of Settlement when the House of Hanover ascended to the regal British throne, and ‘officially’ ending in 1901 A.D. with the death of Queen Victoria (Joachim Ribbentrop, the Foreign Minister for Germany under Adolf Hitler who was later hanged for war crimes at Nuremberg, had himself resided in England and received his education at London University, had worked for the British in Canada and lived with Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught, son of Queen Victoria herself, at his Irish manor, peerage home of the Connaught Rangers [See pp.520-521 Treason in America], province home of Lady Gregory and W.B. Yeats. One early Hitler confidante who served as Hiler’s foreign press chief, Bavarian-native Ernst Hanfstaengl, was a Harvard graduate/friend of Walter Lippman and a descendent of Union Civil War general/Boston Brahmin John Sedgwick. Prior to WWI, Hanfstaengl had been a member of the Harvard Club of New York where he became acquainted with Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt, his chief circle of acquaintances including newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst and actor Charlie Chaplin. No doubt such examples and associations abound and are more in fact the norm rather than the exception). As we learn from Wikipedia: “In 1837, the personal union of the United Kingdom and Hanover ended as William IV’s heir in the United Kingdom was female (Queen Victoria). According to Salic Law Hanover could only be inherited by males.” Palace intrigues being as they are Machavellian in nature, perhaps Hitler’s rise to power can be classified as an attempt to reclaim this throne. Hitler had himself originally envisioned a German-British military alliance as outlined in his book Mein Kampf, and such an affiliation had been the goal of the British pro-Nazi Clivedon Set as well]. As William Bramley explains: 619

“The first Hanoverian king to take the British throne was George Louis, who became George I of England…The Hanoverians provided England with all of its monarchs [from 1714 A.D. including George III from whom America would declare its independence] through 1901 [at the death of an heirless Queen Victoria], and Hanoverian descendants from Queen Victoria’s side have furnished the rest all the way up until today. During all of that time, the dynasty continued to maintain strong ties to other German noble families.” - The Gods of Eden. The Lord Mayor of Hanover and his commissioners had been members of the Nazi party, and Hanover was the scene of a great Jewish slaughter on Kristallnacht as well, a fact made all the more interesting when one considers Ribbentrop’s brother Bertholdt to be a major champion of the English eugenics movement of the day [Ibid p.519]), Havelock Ellis (Ellis, a major proponent of mescaline use, applied scientific principles to the then groundbreaking study of ‘Human Sexuality’), Roger Fry (Roger Fry was a Bloomsbury Group/Cambridge Apostles member. The Bloomsbury Group included Bertrand Russell (a man with extensive British Intelligence associations), Leonard Woolf and his bi-polar wife/author Virginia Woolf [in 1917 A.D. the Woolf’s founded the Fabian Socialist Hogarth Press, the publishing house of Bloomsbury Group authors including T.S. Eliot and D.H. Lawrence (it also published Christopher Isherwood’s boyfriend Edward Upwards’ book, Journey to the Border; note this Bloomsbury Group/Fabian Society association with the Isherwood-Upwards-Auden-Spender circle of authors, as Christopher Isherwood was himself an associate of Aleister Crowley), as well as the publisher of many works on psychiatry and psychology of the International Psycho-Analytical Institute such as the works of Sigmund Freud (Freudian psychology holds religious beliefs of any kind to be a neurotic disorder and that all neurosis can be readily traced to human sexual repression [and hence, Free Love was a cure]), Wilhelm Reich (Wilhelm Reich trumpeted a similar professional opinion claiming that most neuroses could be traced to Judaeo-Christian sexual-repression which he believed has led in turn to rape, murder, violence and warfare. It has even been suggested that the religious experiences of all Biblical personalities including Jesus may be attributed to a mental defect known as Temporal Lobe Epilepsy), Carl Jung,**** as well as English translations of various foreign literary works (****Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung, an OSS spy who worked with Allen Dulles during WWII, and his mentor Sigmund Freud were both associated 620

William Morris Agency would go on to represent some major Hollywood actors and actresses and other performing talent. Note well this association, as Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member W.B. Yeat’s sister Lily was a frequent visitor to the William Morris home. There today exists a William Morris Society with branches in the U.K., Canada and the United States. William Morris, a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood 621

(it was members of this group who would paint the famous murals for the Oxford Union in 1857 A.D.), was a notable British leader of the Arts and Crafts Movement (of truly momentous import, the closely associated American leader of the Arts and Crafts Movement, a movement centered in Pasadena, CA, was Ernest A. Batchelder, art director at Throop Polytechnic, later known as CalTech. The Arts and Crafts Movement itself is said to have developed as a form of psychiatric Occupational Therapy. The inmates have literally taken over the asylum)], E. R. Pease [Edward R. Pease, a member of the London Stock Exchange, was a founding member of the Fabian Society (the very first meeting was held in his home. Pease was a close associate of psychical researcher/SPR-member/Fabian Society-founding member Frank Podmore). His granddaughter would marry Julian and Aldous Huxley’s half-brother Andrew Huxley, his British physicist grandson, Royal Society Fellow Bas Pease being a member of RAF Bomber Command during WWII], John Ruskin [first Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Oxford and mentor to Cecil Rhodes. John Ruskin is widely cited as the inspiration for the Arts and Crafts Movement itself], Olive Schreiner [South African pro-Boer writer], and Ramsey MacDonald, who would later become the first Labour Prime Minister in Britain). (Author’s Note: There also exists a Swedenborg Society still in existence today dedicated to the publishing and interpretations of the writings of Spiritualist Emanuel Swedenborg, two of the founding members of which were a man named John Flaxman (1755–1826 A.D.) and the other his friend, John Augustus Tulk (1756–1845 A.D.). Of the Swedenborg Society we learn: “Two remarkable brothers (Dr. James John Garth Wilkinson [a friend of Laurence Oliphant and an associate of Henry James] and William Martin Wilkinson, both original members of the later Theosophical Society. Note the Theosophical Society association with the Swedenborg Society) began to take an important part in the (Swedenborg) Society’s affairs from the early 1840s. James John Garth Wilkinson (1812–1899 A.D.) was another physician, being noted for his later devotion to homeopathy (“…inspired by Emanuel Swedenborg…The vigour of his [Wilkinson’s] thought won admiration from Henry James, Sr. and from Ralph Waldo Emerson, through whom he met (Emerson’s lifelong friend, the ‘Sage of Chelsea’) Thomas Carlyle (Thomas Carlyle authored On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History [1841 A.D.] which has been described as an open call for a return to 622

British MP/author Laurence Oliphant (Laurence Oliphant was also a member of the British East India Intelligence services and was the closest most trusted confidante of the Illuminati Freemason Lord Palmerston [it was Lord Palmerston who held ultimate command over Giusseppe Mazzini and the various revolutionary factions of the Youth Movement proper]—his uncle James Oliphant was chairman of the British East India Company [See pp.429-30 Treason in America]; Laurence Oliphant was acquainted with many of the prominent members of the Theosophical Society of the time [it is said he was not a member himself though articles by Laurence Oliphant have been published in the Theosophical Society’s Lucifer magazine and he was as well a Spiritualist of the highest order; Laurence Oliphant would work as Lord Palmerston’s British secret agent in America alongside Henry James Sr. and Ralph Waldo Emerson along with other pro-Confederate forces in furtherance of Confederate intrigues during the run-up to the American Civil War (See p.434 Treason in America). Laurence Oliphant was also a disciple of Spiritualist medium Thomas Lake Harris (See The Rebirth of Magic p.172)]. Laurence Oliphant was also early involved in the movement to resettle Jews in Palestine [he himself would eventually settle at Haifa there in Palestine] with the entirely expressed purpose of fulfilling Biblical prophecies so as to inaugurate the prophecized ‘End of Days,’ he being literally employed in “hastening the coming of the day of God” [See 2Peter 3:12]), along with his wife and mother, was associated with the English immigrant and Swedenborgian Spiritualist/Universalist preacher/demon obsessed poet Thomas Lake Harris who in 1861 A.D. had organized a Spiritualist Utopian 623

commune called the Brotherhood of the New Life (one of the precursors to the later hippie communes; not to be confused with the Fellowship of the New Life even though the words ‘brotherhood’ and ‘fellowship’ are virtually synonymous) in New York (the Oliphants lived for a time with Thomas Lake Harris at his utopian commune there. Yet another Thomas Lake Harris disciple, a London homeopathic doctor named Edmund William Berridge would become an active member in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s IsisUrania Lodge, and would later turn up as the head of the London lodge of the Golden Dawn’s successor organization, the Alpha et Omega [See p.128 The Rebirth of Magic by Francis King]). Thomas Lake Harris (Thomas Lake Harris’ communal group performed a form of sex-magic known as Karezza [See Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God by Kenneth Grant]. As noted by Order of Phosphorus-intitiate Michael W. Ford in his book The Book of the Witch Moon [1999 A.D.]: “Karezza is a form of sexual magick, involving building up and controlling sexual drive for transferring to magickal purposes… This method can…be used to contact a succubus or incubus [read: a demon] and is a very useful technique for purposes of evocation and invocation.”), would later move a portion of this Spiritualist community to Santa Rosa in California founding the Fountain Grove utopian commune in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1875 A.D. (Thomas Lake Harris’ successor as head of this Fountain Grove commune, his adopted son Kanaye Nagasawa [Thomas Lake Harris’ Fountain Grove followers included a number of Japanese ambassadors and one Japanese admiral], as well as other associated members of the community would be befriended by one Luther Burbank, a personal friend of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Paramahansa Yogananda [one of Paramahansa Yogananda’s more famous followers was Mark Twain’s daughter, Clara Clemens], founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship in Hollywood, L.A., CA, founded in 1920 A.D.). One of the members of Thomas Lake Harris’ New York Universalist Church congregation was Horace “Go west, young man” Greeley (See p.109 The Life and Work of Thomas Lake Harris by Arthur A. Cuthbert), owner of the New York Tribune newspaper [the central outlet for views espoused by the Freemasonic Young America Youth Movement] which featured Karl Marx and Friederich Engels [Marx and Engels famously co-authored The Communist Manifesto in 1848 A.D.] as foreign correspondents [Engels himself was a member of the radical Prussian left-wing revolutionary Young Hegelians Youth Movement 624

group. Both Marx and Engels attended the mutinous Die Freien/Berlin meetings of the Young Hegelians. The New York Tribune was a hotbed of Carbonari/Freemasonic Youth Movement activities; the group typically works both sides of the aisle (the occultist Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s brother Henry Bulwer-Lytton served as a Minister in the Diplomatic Service in Washington, D.C. [in the service of the Youth Movement-founder/British P.M. Lord Palmerston during Whig-party U.S. President Zachary Taylor’s presidential administration] during the early 1850s [with Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s own son, Robert Bulwer-Lytton serving as his uncle’s attaché. Note Robert Bulwer-Lytton’s Carbonari connections] where he would meet with such prominent Whig party politicians as Henry Clay [an 1832 A.D. presidential contender who lost to Andrew Jackson, the guy on the $20 bill] and Daniel Webster [the U.S. Secretary of State who is credited with opening up U.S. trade with Japan]. The Whig party was well organized within the United States, and was certainly very pro-British [it was in fact related to and closely allied with the British Whig party]; as we learn from Wikipedia: Whig Party (United States): “One strength of the Whigs…was a superb network of newspapers; their leading editor was Horace Greeley of the powerful New York Tribune (the New York Tribune was the mouthpiece of the Young America Youth Movement group. After the Whig party’s demise, Young America would become a faction of the Democratic party).” Other Whig party politicians of note were Abraham Lincoln [like many Northern Whigs, Lincoln was a Whig before he switched to the Republican Party as a result of the Whig Party’s demise (Young Germany immigrants, many of whom would serve as Union generals during the Civil War, were a major political faction within the Republican party at its birth). The beginning of the end of the Whig party was the Compromise of 1850 which fractured the Whig party along pro-slavery and anti-slavery lines. The proslavery Southern Whigs would support the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 A.D. which repealed the Missouri Compromise allowing slavery to take root in Kansas while the Northern Whigs opposed it, and by 1856 A.D. the Whig party had virtually ceased to exist] and U.S. Congressman Horace Mann of the eminent Mann family. Horace Mann was the Unitarian founder of the Horace Mann School located in New York. His wife, Mary Peabody Mann, was the daughter of Nathaniel Peabody, a member of the Continental Congress). Horace Greeley himself was a United States presidential candidate in the 625

presidential election of 1872 A.D. but was defeated by Union Civil War general Ulysses S. Grant, America’s 18th president, the guy on the $50 bill]. Preacher/poet Thomas Lake Harris had propounded the socalled Fairy-Faith, he preaching of Fay Angels, Fairie magic and Fairyland all bejewelled in a quasi-Christian setting and he himself claimed to be in actual communication with these angels (See The Life and Work of Thomas Lake Harris by Arthur A. Cuthbert pp.32-33,92); much of Thomas Lake Harris’ books and poetry are said to have been the product of automatic-writing whose source were the very Fay Angels for whose cause he himself had so devoutly pontificated. Fairies and Fay angels are folk-loric representations of the rebel fallen angels [like Azazel and his band of fallen comrades which they do in fact represent, fairies are said to dwell within the earth]. During the mid-1840s Thomas Lake Harris worked for a time with Andrew Jackson Davis, a pioneering Spiritualist mesmeristic medium of the American Spiritualism Movement known in his day as "The Poughkeepsie Seer." After his life-changing encounter with Andrew Jackson Davis, Thomas Lake Harris: “…started forth as a missionary to preach far and wide this proven reality: that the spirits of those who had lived on Earth did communicate from above, and were actually communicating, with men still living in the flesh” (Ibid p.97; in actual fact, they are the deceptive fallen angels pretending to be spirits of the dead. Indeed, as “…Porphyry says, as quoted by Augustine (De Civ. Dei x, 11): ‘There is a class of demons [read: fallen angels] of crafty nature, pretending that they are gods and the souls of the dead.’” Summa Theologica by Thomas Aquinas. Thomas Lake Harris had in fact fallen for this well-known demonic deception lock stock and barrel, becoming an Overshadowed mouthpiece working in furtherance of this deception. It was at this general time, however, when: “Spiritualist lecturers, including the Fox sisters [along with Thomas Lake Harris and his Spiritualist mentor Andrew Jackson Davis], were roving the country like revivalists. And they won many converts, including such prominent names as [Abolitionist] William Lloyd Garrison [Garrison was a friend of Carbonari leader Giusseppe Mazzini. To the list of Abolitionist converts to Spiritualism must be added the name of Dr. George Bush, a relative of Young Germany/Republican U.S. presidents George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush, who had had associations with all of these aforementioned Spiritualist mediums (See The History of Spiritualism Vol I by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)], 626

[author] James Fenimore Cooper [Cooper was a friend of the Illuminus Carbonari-member, the Marquis de Lafayette, hero of both the American and French revolutions], William Cullen Bryant [William Cullen Bryant, who traces his family ancestry to Pilgrim Mayflower passengers Francis Cooke and John Alden, colonists of the Massachussetts Bay Colony, was one of the main proponents of Young Germany/Republican U.S. president Abraham Lincoln’s presidential candidacy (as was Bush family progenitor David Davis [quite possibly related to the Spiritualist medium Andrew Jackson Davis himself] who served as [known Spiritualist] Abraham Lincoln’s campaign manager), and Bryant’s death was the result of a fall he incurred while participating in an event honoring Carbonari/Young Italy-member Giuseppe Mazzini] and Horace Greeley [a patron of the Carbonari’s Young America Youth Movement group who was a member of Thomas Lake Harris’ Spiritualist church].” – p.48 Those Curious New Cults). Thomas Lake Harris is classified as an early science-fiction writer/Ancient Astronaut Theory proponent whose writings were said to have influenced Theosophical Society-founder/Carbonari-member H.P. Blavatsky who was herself a Spiritualist medium of the period. Edward Maitland himself was a close associate of Anna Kingsford, the President of the London Lodge of the Theosophical Society in England (they even co-authored at least one book and this of an occult nature). Anna Kingsford was an associate of French ceremonial magician and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Eliphas Levi, leading member of a lodge of the Theosophical Society in France. Anna Kingsford later left the Theosophical Society to form the Hermetic Society located at 22 Albemarle Street in the Mayfair section of London. This society was known for giving lectures, featuring as lecturers the likes of the occultist S. L. MacGregor Mathers and the ceremonial magician William Wynn Westcott (See p.80 The Golden Dawn Scrapbook). Wescott, a student of Kabala, who in addition to being a Master Mason, was Supreme Magus of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (the SRIA; the Rosicrucian Society of England). S. L. MacGregor Mathers (Mathers was related by marriage to French philosopher Henri Bergson; Henri Bergson was a close associate of William James, brother to novelist Henry James both of whom were the sons of Henry James Sr.), likewise a Master Mason, gained admittance to the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, eventually being appointed Junior Substitute Magus. William Wynn Wescott, with S. L. MacGregor Mathers, 627

would go on to found the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the most celebrated member of which was the English ceremonial magician and British spy/OTO-member Aleister Crowley). He (Wilkinson) translated a number of Swedenborg’s scientific works and wrote many books of his own on medical, social and theological topics and a ‘biographical sketch’ of Swedenborg, first published in 1849. He is best known for his close friendship with Henry James Senior, also a devotee of Swedenborg (as was typically true of most Spiritualists of the day) and father of William James the philosopher and Henry James the novelist. But he was acquainted with many other writers on both sides of the Atlantic, including Thomas Carlyle,** Ralph Waldo Emerson, Robert Browning, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Coventry Patmore, Dante Gabriel Rossetti (founding member in 1848 A.D. of the PreRaphaelite Brotherhood) and George MacDonald (George MacDonald, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Lewis Carroll’s mentor, was a friend of John Ruskin, Charles Dickins, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Theosophical Society-member Mark Twain). One of his early books (published 1839 A.D.) was the first letter-press edition of (William) Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience (William Blake, an artist as well as a mystical Spiritualist poet, provided illustrations for authors and their works including John Milton’s Paradise Lost, John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress, and Dante’s The Divine Comedy. William Blake worked as an engraver for the radical publisher/Royal Society-member Joseph Johnson [it was Johnson who published works authored by American revolutionary agitator Thomas Paine], a friend of Unitarian theologian Joseph Priestley who numbered Benjamin Franklin amongst his friends).” (** As we learn from Treason in America p.289: “(Thomas) Carlyle’s own house became the main British base of operations for…Giuseppe Mazzini; (his wife) Jane Carlyle was Mazzini’s dearest friend. And in his old age, Carlyle acquired two worshipful disciples: John Ruskin and William T. Stead, feudalist founders of the British Round Table (Mr. Stead will play a role in our story later on, as an espionage agent against the United States in the 1890s).”) (Pennsylvania was home during the early 1800s of one of the Harmony Society’s Utopian communes founded by the Boehme/Swedenborg/Kant-inspired Spiritualist Johann Georg Rapp (1757 – 1847 A.D.), a German-American radical Pietist (Pertinent Quote: “Spiritualism in America was from the first intimately bound up with socialism. The cult of spiritualism was, in fact, an out-growth 628

of the same state of things which produced socialistic communities [communes] and occasioned the rise and fall of so many strange religions. Warren Chase, Horace Greeley (the Sylvania Association commune located in Greeley, Pennsylvania), T.L. [Thomas Lake] Harris and other prominent spiritualists founded such communities and the so-called ‘inspirational’ writings [instructions received through automatic-writing from spirits during Spiritualist séances] frequently gave directions for their construction.” - An Encylopaedia of Occultism: Spiritualism). An associated communal settlement called New Harmony was founded in the state of Indiana by avid socialist Robert Dale Owen, an associate of Johann Georg Rapp. Robert Dale Owen was well known for his mystical proclivities including hypnotic practices and the hosting of Spiritualist sѐances (Robert Dale Owen authored two books on the subject of Spiritualism: Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World [1859 A.D.] and The Debatable Land Between this World and the Next [1872 A.D.]). Robert Dale Owen also had ties to the British spy-infested Ghost Club (the forerunner to the SPR) head-quartered at Cambridge University in England and would serve as a diplomat (1853 – 1858 A.D.) to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (later conquered by the Carbonari King of Sardinia) in Naples in the administration of the pro-Carbonari U.S. President Franklin Pierce (Pierce allegedly was a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, a subversive Carbonari revolutionary group). No doubt Robert Dale Owen played a prominent role in the intrigues which would eventually bring Italy under Carbonari control. Robert Dale Owen’s father, the English Spiritualist Dale Owen [Dale Owen himself claimed to channel the spirit of Benjamin Franklin], links to a Scottish clergyman named Edward Irving. Thomas Carlyle had been a member of Edward Irving’s church in Scotland [Edward Irving had even served as a tutor for Thomas Carlyle’s wife Jane, Jane being Carbonarimember Giuseppe Mazzini’s own ‘dearest friend’], and Edward Irving himself links to the family of Benjamin Franklin and to the Plymouth Brethren group [which traces its links to Dublin, Ireland and whose ranks included Sir Henry Irving and the parents of Golden Dawn ceremonial magicians Aleister Crowley and Algernon Blackwood] as well. It was Robert Dale Owen who would sponsor the legislation for the creation of the Smithsonian Institute (which building itself was designed by architect Adolf Cluss, a Young Germany Youth Movement member who carried on an extensive correspondence with Youth Movement-members Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, authors 629

of the socialist work, The Communist Manifesto). Early in its history, in an effort to facilitate the westward expansion of the American empire, the Smithsonian Institute would commission a major study of Native American civilizations and certain of its agents including the Pennsylvania-born anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing [who earned the nickname the ‘White Indian’] and James Mooney would become magic-practicing Shamans in their own right [Ibid p.448]. Related to the Smithsonian Institute (founded by British [al]chemist/Royal Society Fellow James Smithson, an associate of Joseph Priestly) was the Bureau of American Ethnology: “The Bureau of American Ethnology (or BAE, originally, Bureau of Ethnology) was established in 1879 by an act of Congress for the purpose of transferring archives, records and materials relating to the Indians of North America from the Interior Department to the Smithsonian Institute. But from the start, the bureau’s visionary founding director, John Wesley Powell, promoted a broader mission: ‘to organize anthropologic research in America.’” – Wikipedia: Bureau of American Ethnology (Bureau of Ethnology anthropologists/Harvard grads Jesse Walter Fewkes and John R. Swanton would go on to serve as presidents of the American Anthropological Association, an organization which would itself develop extensive Intelligence associations). In the

furtherance of such anthropological research these organizations would employ gramophones, early sound recording devices, to record Native American Shamanic ceremonies which recordings now reside in the archives of the Smithsonian Institute itself. Many individuals early involved with the Smithsonian Institute would go on to become important players in the annals of the ASPR American faction of the Cambridge University-based Society for Psychical Research (included amongst whose ranks was no small number of Harvard professors as well as Bohemian Club-member David Starr Jordan,** founding president of Stanford University in California which itself has extensive Theosophical Society associations: “The purported business of the Society for Psychical Research was to hold séances, to talk to the dead relatives of invited participants, to command tables to float in the air, to render the mind blank and have spirits move one’s pen in ‘automatic writing,’ to wander in haunted houses, and so forth. The practical theme of the Society’s work was psychological experimentation” and such psychological experimentations additionally included hypnotism and mindcontrol [Ibid p.452-453]. One founding member/first president of the Society for Psychical Research was a Cambridge University don/St. John’s College Cambridge Apostles-member/philosophy professor named Henry Sidgwick who would serve as tutor for Bertrand Russell [Henry Sidgwick’s cousin was Edward White Benson, one-time Archbishop of Canterbury, the leader of the Church of England who additionally serves as overseer of Oxford 630

University]. Henry Sidgwick also served as tutor [and later became a brother-in-law] of Arthur Balfour, whose father was an official of the British East India Company [Ibid p.460]. One of the more important members of the Society for Psychical Research was Cambridge University geneticist William Bateson [coiner of the word ‘genetics’ (derived from the word ‘eugenics’)— his father was Master of St. John’s College at Cambridge University] whose own son Gregory Bateson, an OSS research scientist later involved in MKULTRA experimentations, was “the prime organizer of the California LSD culture…” [Ibid p.461]). (**David Starr Jordan, [who would also found the Sierra Club, sitting on its founding board of directors] was associated with the Pasadena, CA-based eugenics organization known as the Human Betterment Foundation. At its liquidation in 1943 A.D., the Human Betterment Foundation would be folded into CalTech [where its archives are held to this day] as the Gosney** research fund (**Human Betterment Foundation founder Ezra S. Gosney had been one of 13 original donors to the Throop Polytechnic Institute founded in 1891 A.D. by former Chicago businessman/politician Amos G. Throop [Throop would be elected mayor of Pasadena in 1888 A.D.] founded with the blessings of President Theodore Roosevelt which would eventually grow to become the California Institute of Technology, aka CalTech [the spiritualist Unitarian Throop Memorial Church there in Pasadena was so named in spiritualist Amos G. Throop’s honor]). As we learn from p.518 Treason in America: “Stanford [University] was founded after a [Spiritualist] séance convinced railroad man Leland Stanford that his dead son wanted it founded; Psychic Researcher and Cornell University founder Andrew White then chose [David Starr] Jordan for its first president.” One Stanford University psychiatrist of note who had been a member of the Human Betterment Foundation is eugenicist Lewis Terman who would personally take musician Henry Cowell under his Menlo Park [MKULTRA] wing. Henry Cowell was a friend of Theosophical Society-member Dane Rudhyar and had been a citizen of Halcyon, CA, a Theosophist community [founded in Syracuse, N.Y. in 1898 A.D. by members of the magic-practicing Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society which was later uprooted to California in 1903 A.D.]. It was the leader of Halcyon’s Temple of the People [where science and magic go hand in baleful hand], mystic poet John Osborne Varian, whose sons Russell Harrison Varian ([b.1898 – d.1959 A.D.] a lifelong supporter of the Sierra Club) and Sigurd Fergus Varian (b.1901 – d.1961 A.D.) would invent the klystron tube [a microwave ampliphier tube]. John Osborne Varian cofounded** Varian Associates, one of the first high-tech companies located in Silicon Valley [**John Osborne Varian co-founded Varian Associates along with Leonard I. Schiff, the physicist best known for his book Quantum Mechanics who was then head of the physics department at Stanford University]: “One of Varian Associates’ major contracts in the 1950s was to 631

create a fuse for the atomic bomb… Among their early employees was bookkeeper Clara Jobs, mother of Steve Jobs [Steve Jobs was co-founder of Apple computer company (much of Apple Computer’s components have been developed by the U.S. government as well. The modern computer was essentially developed during WWII for specialized military applications based upon a design by Ghost Club-member/Royal Society Fellow/Analytical Society-founder Charles Babbage who through his association with Carbonari-member Lord Byron’s daughter Ada Lovelace [generally considered to be the first computer programmer] connects to Carbonarileader Giuseppe Mazzini. Charles Babbage’s ‘Analytical Engine’ [circa 1906 A.D. capable of calculating the first 40 multiples of pi to 29 decimal places] was the basis for the IBM Mark I/ASCC computer devised by Harvard University-grad/U.S. Navy Reserve Officer Howard H. Aiken built in 1944 A.D. [as Harvard had previously been presented with one such computation machine by Charles Babbage’s s son Henry Babbage] which was housed at Harvard University for use in mathematical computations by the U.S. Navy Bureau of Ships). One early employee of Varian Associates was David Packard, co-founder of the Hewlett-Packard computer company. One must at all times keep in mind that science is rooted in magic and that so many of the scientists within our story were in fact quite magically inclined—and it is indeed possible to transfer scientific knowledge to Overshadowed individuals—the angels have been doing so for many thousands of years (See Exodus 31:3)].” Leonard I. Schiff was related to Kuhn Loeb’s chief executive, Jacob Schiff, business associate of E.H. Harriman, father of W. Averall Harriman of the CIA-associated firm of Brown Brothers Harriman in which firm Republican senator Prescott Bush, father of future CIA Director/Republican president George H.W. Bush, was a partner [of a related interesting note, WWII Navy Intelligence agent George H.W. Bush would in the post-WWII era work for a time at the W. Averell Harriman owned CIA-front company Dresser Industries’ Pacific Pump Works located in the Los Angeles suburb of Huntington Park [See Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, America’s Invisible Government and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years by Russ Baker]. Serving as president of Dresser Industries was Prescott Bush’s close friend/business partner Henry Neil Mallon. The Mallon family had close ties to President William Howard Taft (the Taft family being along with the Bush family prominent members of the Yale Skull and Bones secret society) who had served as Secretary of War under President Theodore Roosevelt. William Howard Taft’s father Alphonso Taft, former foreign Minister to Austria-Hungary appointed by pro-Carbonari President Chester A. Arthur, had served as Attorney General under U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant]. In 1998 A.D. Dresser Industries would merge with its main rival Haliburton, an oilfield services company with which Bush’s own son, U.S. President George W. Bush’s Vice632

President Dick Cheney, was associated]. Another prominent Halcyon resident was the mystic Irish poet Ella Young [Ella Young wrote part of her book The Tangle-Coated Horse and Other Tales (1929 A.D.) while residing in a cabin behind John Varian’s home] who held a Chair in Irish Myth and Lore at the University of California, Berkeley from 1925 – 1932 A.D. Before alighting on America’s shores, Ella Young had been a friend of Patrick Pearse, one of the leaders of the Easter Rising in Ireland in 1916 A.D. Ella Young herself had been a member of the Dublin branch of the Theosophical Society and counted George William Russell amongst her many acquaintances. She also counted Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats and his mistress, Maude Gonne, amongst her closest friends [Maude Gonne had even provided illustrations for Ella Young’s book Celtic Wonder Tales (1910 A.D.)]. Note well these associations, as Ella Young also had connections to Taos, New Mexico, site of the Utopian artist’s community originally envisioned by D.H. Lawrence (Taos was the site of the D.H. Lawrence Ranch where D.H. Lawrence’s artist wife Frieda resided. Notable visitors to this ranch included Bloomsbury Group-er Aldous Huxley and Theosophical Society-member Henry Miller’s friend Jean Varda). D.H. Lawrence was like Ella Young a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats. Another notable associate of D.H. Lawrence was music critic/Bloomsbury Group-er Peter Warlock (real name Philip Heseltine), the ceremonial magician friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley’s disciple, British author Mary Butts (as noted in The Journals of Mary Butts, Mary Butts had also studied magic under Aleister Crowley as well). Note well these interconnections. Also associated with the Taos artist’s colony is Mabel Dodge Luhan (a syndicated columnist for the Hearst organization who had settled in Taos in 1917 A.D.), a friend of Gertrude Stein (Gertrude Stein also lived in Taos for a time, entertaining individuals including Carl Jung, Thornton Wilder [whose first book was entitled The Cabala, a testament to Thornton Wilder’s own mystical inclinations. Thornton Wilder’s brother Amos Niven Wilder served in the ambulance corp in Paris during WWI along with Gertrude Stein. Amos Niven Wilder had served as secretary to Dr. Albert Schweitzer, an associate of Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell, and would from the mid 1950s to the 1960s teach at Harvard University where he associated with Harvard Divinity School theologian professor Paul Tillich and Joseph Campbell] and D.H. Lawrence and wife in her home). Gertrude Stein had also spent time at Mabel Dodge Luhan’s Medici villa salon in the Arcetri region of Florence, Italy (the result of which was Gertrude Stein’s book Portrait of Mabel Dodge at the Villa Curonia). Banking heiress Mabel Dodge Luhan is an important individual as she was also an associate of Robinson Jeffers, Walter Lippman (Walter Lippman was an attendee of Mabel Dodge Luhan’s salon during her residency in Greenwich Village) and 633

Theosophical Society-member Mark Twain’s friend Max Eastman. It was at the Mabel Dodge Luhan House, a later salon for artists and writers, where Dennis Hopper would pen the script for his film Easy Rider. All of these individuals have Bloomsbury Group, Theosophical Society, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and OTO connections [Dennis Hopper himself being closely associated with known members of the Solar Lodge OTO]. Also associated with this Taos group [arriving there in the 1950s] was the Bloomsbury Group-associated British painter Dorothy Brett and British poet Edward James [amongst Edward James’ British associates was Lord Berners, a Mitford family friend (Lord Berners was a very close friend of Diana Mitford who was married to Sir Oswald Mosely whose own close associates included Aleister Crowley’s right hand man J.F.C. Fuller. Edward James himself was married to one of the Mitford daughters as well]) and other individuals associated with Bloomsbury Group-member Edith Sitwell [whose friends included Dylan Thomas, a good friend of British spy Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner Victor Neuburg]. Most of these individuals connect to British spy Aleister Crowley though all have British and American [OSS] Intelligence associations as well [some primarily as war propagandists involved with classified Army film units]). Walter Lippman, Gertrude Stein and Theodore Roosevelt were all students of Harvard University professor/Theosophical Society-member William James who through the SPR/ASPR also associated with various individuals associated with Aleister Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Many artists gathered in Taos following the Wall Street crash in 1929 A.D. at the height of the Great Depression would paint under U.S. government sponsorship through Harvard-grad President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s (whose own vice-president was a member of the Theosophical Society) ‘New Deal’ programs: “From 1934 to 1943, there were various federally funded programs for artists in New Mexico – the Public Works Art Project (PWAP), the Works Progress Administration (WPA)/Federal Art Project (WPA/FAP), and the Treasury Relief Art Project (TRAP).” – Wikipedia: New Deal and the arts in New Mexico (The ‘New Deal’ itself was the brainchild of American Fabian Society-member Stuart Chase [a member of FDR’s “Brain Trust”], a friend of Fabian Society-member/American Fabian Society-member Walter Lippman. The American Fabian Society is the American branch of the Fabian Society in England, an organization whose membership ranks at its founding consisted of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members). In 1938 A.D., Theosophical Society-member/Guggenheim Fellowship Award-winning artist Emil Bisttram would found the Transcendental Painting Group and the Taos School of Art there in Taos, NM under New Deal funding. Since 1965 A.D. such U.S. government funding of artists, poets, playwrights, performance artists etc. has taken place largely under the aegis of the National Endowment for the Arts (the founding 634

Chairman of which was Roger L. Stevens, the former General Administrator of Dennis Hoppers acting school alma mater, namely, Lee Strasberg’s Actors’ Studio). One of the prominent early artists in the Taos artist community was Joseph Henry Sharp (co-founder of the Taos Society of Artists [active from 1915 – 1927 A.D.] who resided in Pasadena but retained a studio there at Taos] whom President Theodore Roosevelt had commissioned to paint the portraits of some 200 Sioux warriors involved in the Battle of Little Bighorn, a number of which portraits now hang at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. Taos itself was near to the site of the Taos Pueblo Indian Reservation. It was President Theodore Roosevelt himself who had seized these lands from the Taos Pueblo Indian tribesmen, forcing them onto government-controlled ‘Indian Reservations.’ Pueblo Indians notably enough were Spiritualists whose Shaman priests conjured spirits known as ‘kachinas’ during ceremonial magic dances/rituals) (Interestingly enough: “What is generally regarded as the birth of modern spiritualism took place in America in 1848… Many persons found themselves possessed of mediumistic powers, and the manifestations spread like an epidemic, till in a few years they were witnessed in most of the eastern states. Numerous [Spiritualist] circles were formed by private individuals, and professional mediums became even more abundant. Mrs. Fox and her three daughters [the Fox sisters] continued to hold the place of honor in the spiritualistic world, and gave exhibitions in many towns.” – An Encylopaedia of Occultism: Spiritualism. The Spiritualism Movement in America is said to have begun in 1848 A.D. with the activities surrounding the Fox sisters in the Abolitionist stronghold of Rochester, N.Y. [a major stop on the Underground Railroad], though this too must be attributed to ongoing Carbonari intrigues—1848 A.D. is notable as the year the Carbonari launched their European-wide Revolutions and a wise man will discern the Carbonari’s hidden hand here in the spiritual realm as well. The Carbonari were in fact pioneers within this field. As noted by Spiritualist historian Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: “Of modern Italians the great [Guisseppe] Mazzini was a spiritualist in days when spiritualism had hardly formulated itself, and his associate Garibaldi [both of whom were leading members of the Carbonari] was president of a psychic society [called the Society of the Carbonari].” - The History of Spiritualism Vol II, 1926 A.D. The Carbonari group itself was an association of revolutionary magic-practicing necromancers/Spiritualists and many individuals involved in the Spiritualist Movement proper you will find have shared Carbonari connections: “The Fox girls became famous and their public séances in New York in 1850 attracted notable people including William Cullen Bryant [Bryant was one of the main proponents of Abraham Lincoln’s presidential candidacy (as was Bush political family progenitor David Davis, Lincoln’s own presidential campaign manager), and Bryant’s death was the result of a 635

fall he incurred while participating in an event honoring Carbonari-member Giuseppe Mazzini], George Bancroft [George Bancroft, a professed Humanist and son of Unitarian minister Aaron Bancroft (one-time president of the American Unitarian Association and former Revolutionary War ‘Minuteman’), was a Harvard grad who served as U.S. Secretary of the Navy [it was he who established the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis] and United States Ambassador to the U.K. The Bancroft family first arrived as colonists to Massachusetts in 1632 A.D.], James Fenimore Cooper [Cooper was a friend of the Carbonari-member, the Marquis de Lafayette, hero of both the American and French revolutions], Nathaniel Parker Willis [an associate of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who was himself an associate of Confederate General Albert Pike, Pike being a close associate of Carbonari-founder Giusseppe Mazzini], Horace Greeley [Greeley was an influential leader of Giusseppe Mazzini’s Young America Youth Movement group], Sojourner Truth and William Lloyd Garrison [his son Wendell Phillips Garrison served as literary editor of The Nation (a soap box at varying times for individuals including Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, Henry Miller, Franklin D. Roosevelt, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Henry James and Charles Sanders Peirce) from 1865 – 1906 A.D.].” – Wikipedia: The Fox Sisters. The Spiritualist Movement was intimately interwoven within the Abolitionist movement in America. In 1848 A.D. the Fox sisters [descendents of anti-slavery Quaker-founder George Fox] would take up residence in the home of a pair of ‘radical Quakers’ named Amy and Isaac Post, Abolitionist friends of the Fox family whose home would become a stop on the Underground Railroad: “By the early 1840s, radical Quakers began to hold abolitionist meetings in the Post home, where prominent reform lecturers such as William Lloyd Garrison [Garrison was along with 21 Quakers a founding member in 1833 A.D. of the American Anti-Slavery Society [whose one-time vice-president was Obadiah Bush, an ancestor of the Bush political family who likewise resided in Rochester, N.Y.] which by the early1840s consisted of 1,350 local chapters with some 250,000 members], Frederick Douglas, Susan B. Anthony [whose friends included Young Germany Youth Movement-member Mathilde Franziska Anneke, a feminist newspaper owner and vocal critic of slavery in America whose husband would serve as colonel of a Wisconsin infantry unit within the Union Army during America’s Civil War], and Sojourner Truth visited and spoke. [Frederick] Douglas became a close personal friend of the Posts…” Wikipedia: Amy and Isaac Post. Frederick Douglas of course was an associate of militant abolitionist John Brown, leader of the infamous John Brown’s Raid (the Brown family is a famous name in the annals of American History. Nicholas Brown, Sr. would found what was to become Brown University in Rhode Island in 1764 A.D [whose seal is a red cross on white background, the sign of Azazel (See Appendix A)] and various members of the Brown 636

family would play key roles during the American Revolution). The Carbonari were indeed at the forefront of both the Abolitionist and Spiritualist Movements in America [as were it must be remembered the ancestors of U.S. Presidents George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush including the abovementioned Obadiah Bush and the Swedenborgian Spiritualist Dr. George Bush], both of which movements were intricately interconnected) (Stage Magic in its modern sense may also be traced to this Carbonari group. The French magician Houdin [not to be confused with Harry Houdini from whom Houdini derives his name], considered to be the ‘father of modern conjuring,’ aka Stage Magic, had himself been in the employ of the Carbonari emperor of France, Napoleon III [Stage Magicians, as was the case here with Houdin, were sometimes sent to colonial Africa to engage in magical combat with aboriginal African Shamans (shades of Moses’ own magical contest as related in Exodus 7:9-12) in an effort to outmagician African magicians through the magic of physics and in this way retain the colonial loyalties of African tribesmen (See pp.74-77 White Magic for another such example concerning an incident taking place in Morocco)]. Indeed, as the reader will recall, in Freemasonry Unmasked we were at once informed of the fact: “Before proceeding further with the history of Freemasonry, I shall stay a moment to consider a very remarkable feature in its strange composition, without which it [Freemasonry] scarcely ever appears. The world was never without wizards, witches, necromancers [Spiritualists], jugglers [‘jugglers’ are by definition ceremonial magicians], and those who really had, or through imposture, pretended to have, intercourse with demons. Masonry in its various ramifications is the great continuator of this feature of a past which we had thought departed for ever. Spirit-rapping [Spiritualism], table-turning, medium-imposture, etc., distinguish its adepts in Protestant countries and in Catholic ones [he speaks of the Spiritualism Movements in both America and Europe]. We have almost incredible stories of the intercourse [communication] with the devil and his angels, which men like the Carbonari of Italy maintain [into which secret society, the Society of the Carbonari, the Spiritualist medium/Theosophical Society-founder H.P. Blavatsky was initiated by Italian Carbonari-founder Giuseppe Mazzini in 1856 A.D.]... from the very beginning Freemasonry has had a kind of peculiar dark mysticism connected with it… But whatever may have been the extent of this mysticism in Masonry before, a spurious kind of spiritism became part of its very essence since the advent of the celebrated Cagliostro, who travelled all over Europe under the instructions of [Adam] Weishaupt [founder of the Order of Illuminati], and founded more lodges than did any individual Freemason then or since. The real name of this arch-imposter was Balsamo. He was an inveterate sorcerer, and in his peregrinations in the East, picked up from every source the secrets of alchemy, astrology, jugglery [‘ceremonial 637

magic’], legerdemain [sleight of hand techniques/stage magic], and occult science of every kind [including no doubt, physics] about which he could get any information [the basis of many such Stage Magic tricks involves it must be noted the simple application of practical physics, aka ‘natural magic’]… In France, assisted by the efforts of the Illuminati, he was received as a kind of demigod, and called the divine Cagliostro. He established new lodges in all parts of the country…” We may in fact trace both modern Stage Magic practices and the Spiritualist Movement which swept over Europe and America to these earlier information gathering efforts of “the divine Cagliostro” and to his known associates. The Carbonari group itself is a successor organization of the Order of the Illuminati. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Stage Magicians and Spiritualist mediums often shared the same vaudeville stage. The Spiritualism Movement significantly enough inaugurated the career of John Nevil Maskelyne, a British stage magician and early member of The Magic Circle, a magic club headquartered in London, England. John Nevil Maskelyne was a magician who had been at the forefront of the Spiritualist Movement in Britain. Maskelyne along with business partner George Alfred Cooke were owners of Maskelyne & Cooke’s Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly, London, which establishment magicians and lecturers and Spiritualist mediums would hire out for shows complete with “expensive tickets of admittance” (owning an early motion-picture patent, the Maskelyne’s also showed some of the first motion-picture films ever viewed in England—typically filmed performances of Maskelyne family magic illusions and others of a documentary nature). In 1904 A.D., Maskelyne would move in partnership with fellow magician David Devant (Devant would serve as the first president of The Magic Circle [founded 1905 A.D.]) to St. George’s Hall, the premier performance of which featured a magic play based on Lord Bulwer-Lytton’s novel The Coming Race (St. George’s Hall was later acquired in 1933 A.D. by producer Eric Maschwitz of the BBC for broadcasts of vaudeville, variety, comedy and various revue shows [during the course of his later WWII wartime Intelligence service, Eric Maschwitz (a denizen of the British Museum) would serve in the SIS/MI6, the SOE, in New York City for the BSC and later in the PWE, all British Intelligence organizations]. John Nevil Maskelyne’s grandson, Jasper Maskelyne, was related by marriage to the Carbonari-associated Spiritualist D.D. Home [See White Magic p.216 by Jasper Maskelyne, a book which is itself a testament to the shared associations of individuals involved in Stage Magic, Spiritualism and black and white magic practices alike] and British P.M. Alec Douglas-Home. Following in the footsteps of his father and his grandfather before him, both of whom had worked for the British War Office on various top secret research projects, Jasper Maskelyne would work for British Intelligence on secret camouflage projects during WWII under Brigadier General Dudley 638

Clarke who’s own “favorite uncle was a chairman of the Magic Circle” magic club [See p.257 Churchill’s Wizards by Nicholas Rankin], an official in which club Jasper Maskelyne’s grandfather was so instrumental in founding. This so-called Magic House of Maskelyne family, which revels in the legend of a forebear’s deal with the devil, is descended from the Astronomer Royal to King George III [he serving from 1765 – 1811 A.D.], Sir Nevil Maskelyne, a Fellow of the Royal Society [who’s sister was married to Major-General Robert Clive of the British East India Company who served as Commander-in-Chief of India, Robert Clive also being a Fellow of the Royal Society, that bastion of physicists and other practitioners of magic]. Such staged magic acts would greatly increase in popularity during the postCivil War period. In America, Stage Magicians typically played upon the vaudeville stage along with musicians, dance troops and and other similar theatrical performers [including Spiritualist mediums performing ‘theatrical séances’ (and burlesque dancers of every stripe)] thusly fueling the rise of the vaudeville theater chains of vaudeville impresarios Benjamin Franklin Keith of Boston, MA and Edmund Franklin Albee II, giving birth through mergers and acquisitions to Keith-Albee [a chain of vaudeville theaters], Keith-AlbeeOrpheum [a leading chain of vaudeville/film theaters formed by Edmund Franklin Albee II in partnership with Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.] and later, to Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.’s very own Radio-Keith-Orpheum [RKO] studios group put together with the help of FDR New Deal funding) Indeed: “In 1910 the (Swedenborgian) Society celebrated its centenary. The chief event commemorating this was an International Swedenborg Congress held in the King’s Hall, Holborn in July that year under the patronage of King Gustav V of Sweden. Learned papers on Swedenborg’s achievements as a scientist, philosopher and theologian were delivered to an audience of four hundred over four days by leading scholars from different fields. An impressive list of forty-six Vice-Presidents included the names of Henry James, long a resident in England but not yet a British citizen, his fellow American novelist William Dean Howells (“In 1860 he [Howells] visited Boston and met with American writers James Thomas Fields, James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. [who would later become an Honorary Bohemian Grove member], Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Through these contacts, he also became a personal friend to many other writers, including Henry Adams, William James, Henry James and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.” – Wikipedia: William Dean Howells), and the Zen Buddhist scholar D. T. Suzuki, who had begun to translate some of (the Spiritualist medium) Swedenborg’s works into Japanese (Suzuki married Radcliffe grad Beatrice Erskine Lane who had multiple contacts with the Bahá'í Faith both in America and in Japan. Suzuki 639

would later join the Theosophical Society Adyar. In 1951 A.D., D.T. Suzuki began teaching seminars on Japanese culture, aesthetics, and Zen Buddhism at Columbia University in New York. Among his students were many influential artists and intellectuals including Allen Ginsberg. Alan Watts had also been introduced to D.T. Suzuki by Christmas Humphrey of the London Buddhist Lodge. Alan Watts [author of the book Psychotherapy East and West—Notable Book Quote: “If we look deeply into such ways of life as Buddhism and Taoism, Vedanta and Yoga, we do not find either philosophy or religion as these are understood in the West. We find something more nearly resembling psychotherapy.”] along with his Zen Buddhist associate D.T. Suzuki [D.T. Suzuki was co-author of the simlilarly themed book Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis, 1960 A.D.] would blend Eastern philosophical teachings into a Western form of psychiatric treatment. Both Alan Watts and D.T. Suzuki were associates of Carl Jung, an OSS psychiatrist/spy. Note that all of the individuals involved in this endeavor had Theosophical Society associations [and hence one must attribute the genesis of ‘Beat Zen’ as a psychiatric tool thereto]).” – The Swedenborg

Society: A Very Short History by Richard Lines). And hence was born Beat Zen (as well as the Beatnik ethnos), along with the associated intermingling of the MKULTRA-inspired psychedelic entheogenic experience into a combined modality therapy for the Jungian treatment of psychosis as a way of life—a definitive form of Humanistic Psychology [Alan Watts, in essence a humanistic psychologist who believed that every human being suffered from neurosis from one degree to another (this being as he notes in Psychotherapy East and West the ‘normal’ human state), defines ‘Zen’ as “Chinese Humanism” and describes ‘Beat Zen’ as being “a revolt from the culture and social order” (as it was within this very cultural and social order wherein could be found, as Watts therein explains, the source of most people’s neuroses). Alan Watts describes the ‘beat’ mentality as being “a younger generation’s nonparticipation in ‘the American Way of Life,’ a revolt which does not seek to change the existing order but simply turns away from it to find the significance of life in subjective experience rather than objective achievement” by living a “life of undisciplined whimsy” (See Beat Zen, Square Zen, and Zen by Alan Watts, Chicago Review, 1958 A.D. In other words, do as thy wilt is the whole of the law, or as Leary himself would say, “Tune in, Turn on, Drop out.” (Alan Watts’ Zen Buddhist teachings were also the basis for former-Church of Scientology-member Werner Erhard’s [real name John Rosenberg] mysterious est [Erhard Seminars Training] selfimprovement system founded in 1971 A.D. which had close links to 640

the CIA-associated Esalen Institute [as related in The Upstart Spring, Erhard had studied extensively at the Esalen Institute where Alan Watts served as an instructor] and to SRI’s CIA-sponsored remoteviewing project. Erhard Seminars Training was the fruit of Erhard’s extensive studies with Alan Watts during the mid 1960s. Erhard’s humanist-based [read: magic derived] concepts were later used in personnel-training seminars under the name Transformational Technologies Inc. [founded in 1984 A.D.] by many American corporations including TRW [an aerospace/computer/auto parts manufacturing corporation involved in America’s Intercontinental Ballistic Missile program] and Ford Motor Co [car maker/defense contractor/think: Ford Foundation]. This system is now largely incorporated within the training courses offered in the Landmark Forum of the San Francisco-based Landmark Education LLC composed of a group of Erhard’s former employees who had acquired the rights to Werner Erhard’s intellectual property. Magic-practicing author Margot Adler, yet another Los Angeles witch, a granddaughter of psychologist Alfred Adler [Alfred Adler being an associate of Esalen Institute psychologist Abraham Maslow], has identified such programs as Earhard’s est for what they truly are: “…brief magical training courses…” [See p.157 Drawing Down the Moon]). One D.T. Suzuki associate of note is the Jewish Zen Buddhist-enthusiast/author J.D. Salinger, a later proponent of the teachings of the guru Paramahansa Yogananda, founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship in Hollywood [some of whose funding was provided by William James’ student, Theosophical Society-member Walter Evans-Wentz, an associate of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats], which organization as we shall see had major OTO and assorted Intelligence affiliations as well. J.D. Salinger, himself a member of an American Intelligence unit during WWII, was the American author of The Catcher in the Rye, a highly controversial book at its release often subject to censure (like Suzuki, Salinger had also married a Radcliffe student, by name Claire Douglas—note well these close associations with Harvard). J.D. Salinger is also known to have had associations with Navy Intelligence agent/Church of Scientology-founder L. Ron Hubbard. (Notable amongst the usually exclusive outsider-adverse Boston Brahmin group is the high-degree Freemason/U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt [FDR], T.S. Eliot, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. and Jr. and McGeorge Bundy [National Security Advisor to John F. Kennedy and 641

later head of the CIA-associated Ford Foundation. McGeorge Bundy was the son of Harvard grad/Yale Skull and Bones-member Harvey Hollister Bundy Sr., Special Assistant to the Secretary of War under FDR during WWII. Harvey Hollister Bundy Sr. would later succeed John Foster Dulles (brother of CIA head Allan Dulles) as chairman of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace]. Considering these associations, it is no wonder why they shy away from outsiders, though Kennedy’s father Joseph managed to ingratiate himself to certain members of this group [his wife Rose was the daughter of Boston, MA Mayor/Harvard-attendee John F. Fitzgerald after whom JFK was named], as Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. had attended Harvard College at Harvard University, the bulwark of this Boston Brahmin group. As we learn from p.110 Treason in America, this Boston Brahmin group is largely composed of ‘old money’ pro-British Anglophiles whose “…principal sources of wealth and power were provided to them by the British, chiefly the British East India Company, most notably profits of piracy [as privateers], and of massive accumulations gained from both the African slave trade and the Far East opium traffic.” Needless to say this Boston Brahmin group was opposed to America’s Independence and have in fact been working towards re-union with England ever since. Today this takes the form of the Atlantic Union. Interestingly enough: “An Atlantic Union Resolution which would, in effect, repeal the Declaration of independence [and serve to reunite America with England], was first introduced in Congress in 1949. It has been reintroduced every year since [circa 1976 A.D.], but until recently never received much attention despite its endorsement by such Rockefeller CFR stalwarts as Richard Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Dwight Eisenhower, Adlai Stevenson, John Foster Dulles, Jacob Javits, William Fulbright, Eugene McCarthy, and Henry Kissinger. From The Book The Rockefeller Files - Gary Allen-1976.” – Wikipedia: Atlantic Union. The associated Atlantic Union Committee would play a major role in the creation of NATO) (A note must be made concerning Gertrude Stein who was a famous student of Harvard University professor William James: “Because Harvard was closed to women, in the fall of 1893 Stein enrolled at the Harvard Annex, the precursor to Radcliffe College, where she studied for four years, graduating in 1897. She studied with William James, George Santayana, Josiah Royce, and Hugo Muensterberg, among others, and later cited James as the most significant influence of her college years. Stein worked in 642

James’s psychology laboratory (primarily founded for the investigation of Spiritualist phenomenon), carrying out experiments in automatic writing that became the basis of her first publication, “Normal Motor Automatism” ... which was published in the Psychological Review in 1896.” – Jewish Women’s Archive: Gertrude Stein. Gertrude Stein would eventually relocate to Paris, in France, home to S.L. Macgregor Mather’s lodge of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (recall Gertrude Stein’s teacher, Harvard University professor William James’ own personal friend Henri Bergson was the father-in-law of S.L. Macgregor Mathers, the Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). As we learn from Wikipedia: “During the 1920s, her (Gertrude Stein’s) salon at 27 Rue de Fleurus, with walls covered by avant-garde paintings, attracted many of the great writers of the time, including Ernest Hemingway (for a taste of Ernest Hemingway’s life in Paris in the presence of his “good friend” Gertrude Stein [Gertrude Stein and her life partner Alice B. Toklas were the godparents for Ernest Hemingway’s son John Hemingway, an Allied spy who would work with the French Resistance during WWII], see Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast, a book which also acknowledges Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member/British spy Aleister Crowley’s presence in the area at this time as well), (Ernest Hemingway’s friend) Ezra Pound (Ezra Pound was a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member W.B. Yeats), (Theosophical Society-member) Thornton Wilder (Wilder was an attendee of G.I. Gurdjieff’s Prieuré as well), and (author/poet/journalist) Sherwood Anderson.” – Wikipedia: Gertrude Stein (Included amongst Gertrude Stein’s Parisian group was ScottishAmerican poet/lawyer/spy Archibald MacLeish it is extremely important to note as prior to his arrival in France, Archibald MacLeish was a Skull and Bones-member at Yale University and would later enroll in Harvard Law School where he would briefly serve as editor of The New Republic.** Gertrude Stein’s group it would appear was a full-fledged international spy network). This Illuminus group certainly supported the arts and fuelled literary societies through which they made great political inroads, for as we also learn: “In post WWI Paris (in France), Montparnasse (an avant-garde section of Paris) was a euphoric meeting ground for the artistic world... They came to Montparnasse from all over the globe, from Europe, including Russia and Ukraine, from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, and from as far away as Japan... artists who gathered 643

in Montparnasse were Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, Ossip Zadkine, Carmelo Gonzalez, Julio Gonzalez, Moise Kisling, Jean Cocteau (Jean Cocteau later worked for a time here in Paris with artist/filmmaker Kenneth Anger), Erik Satie (Erik Satie, a friend/mentor of Kenneth Anger’s friend Jean Cocteau, was a leading member of Stanislas de Guaita’s Order of the Rose-Croix Rosicrucian order founded in 1885 A.D. by French disciples of Theosophical Society-member/ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi for the expressed purpose of “studying and practicing magic” [See p.10 The Magical World of Aleister Crowley by Francis King]), Marios Varvoglis, Marc Chagall (a known Freemason), Nina Hamnett (Aleister Crowley was a friend of author Nina Hamnett in whose publishing house Constable and Co. [which published various books on the subject of magic and anthropology] George Bernard Shaw was “a main shareholder” [See pp.144-145 Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast by Colin Wilson. Nina Hamnett had also befriended Ezra Pound [Ezra Pound’s friend/business partner Natalie Clifford Barney (a friend of Gertrude Stein famous for her torrid homosexual love affair with Oscar Wilde’s niece, Dolly Wilde), whose Paris salon hosted in her home at 20 rue Jacob on the Left Bank in Paris for more than 60 years had attracted all of the individuals mentioned here, had attended the same French boarding school as FDR’s wife Eleanor Roosevelt. Notable later attendees of Barney’s salon include author Truman Capote, a friend of Paul Bowles and of Bowles’ friend Christopher Isherwood], Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau and carried on a love affair with Bloomsbury Group-er Roger Fry), Jean Rhys, Fernand Léger, Jacques Lipchitz, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars, Chaim Soutine, (Theosophical Society-member) James Joyce (Joyce was an associate of George William Russell and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B.

Breton was the author of the Surrealist Manifesto in which he defines ‘surrealism’ as “pure psychic automatism”), Alfonso Reyes, Pascin, Salvador Dalí, (Theosophical Society-member) Henry Miller (Henry Miller additionally connects to Theosophical Society-member James Joyce through their mutual friend Eugene Jolas), Samuel Beckett, Emil Cioran, Reginald Gray, Joan Miró and, in his declining years, Edgar Degas... Between 1921 and 1924, the number of Americans in Paris swelled from 6,000 to 30,000. While most of the artistic community gathered here were struggling to eke out an existence, well-heeled American socialites such as Peggy Guggenheim, and (Pulitzer-Prizewinning novelist) Edith Wharton from New York City (Edith Wharton was a member of the fabulously wealthy Rensselaer family. Edith Wharton had often travelled with Henry James in Europe and was well acquainted with President Theodore Roosevelt—she had been an intimate member of Henry James’ own Boston Brahmin Harvard University group), Harry Crosby from Boston [“He was the son of one of the richest banking families in New England, a member of the Boston Brahmin, and the nephew of Jane Norton Grew, the wife of financier J.P. Morgan, Jr… Harry founded the Black Sun Press…the first to publish works by a number of struggling authors who later became famous, including James Joyce, Kay Boyle, Ernest Hemingway (with whom Harry Crosby drove ambulances** in France during WWI), Hart Crane (ditto), D.H. Lawrence, René Crevel, T.S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound… His father’s mother (his fraternal grandmother) was the great-granddaughter of (George Washington’s Revolutionary War spy) Alexander Hamilton (the guy on the ten dollar bill. Alexander Hamilton was along with U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt’s forebear Isaac Roosevelt a co-founder of the Bank of New York). Also among Harry’s ancestors were Revolutionary War General Philip Schuyler (the Schuyler family is also related to the Bush political family including America’s 41st and 43rd presidents) and William Floyd, a signer of the Declaration of Independence (the Rensselaers and Crosbys being decendents of George Washington’s American Revolution era spies Henry K. van Rensselaer and Enoch Crosby).” – Wikipedia: Harry Crosby (**The aforementioned ambulance corp for which many had served as ambulance drivers during WWI 645

was known as the American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps: “The American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps was organized in the fall of 1914 in London by Richard Norton [a Harvard University graduate], noted archeologist and son of the eminent Harvard University professor, Charles Eliot Norton [the cousin of Harvard University president Charles William Eliot. Charles Eliot Norton’s close associates included Oddfellow Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, an associate of fellow Oddfellow Albert Pike. Charles Eliot Norton also counted the ‘Sage of Chelsea,’ Thomas Carlyle, and Carlyle’s own disciple, John Ruskin, Edward FitzGerald and Virginia Woolf’s father Leslie Stephen, amongst his closest friends. These facts are made all the more alarming when we learn from Treason in America p.289 that it was Thomas Carlyle’s own home which had served as the main British base of operations for Carbonari-member Giuseppe Mazzini (a close associate of Albert Pike). Note this major Carbonari association with Harvard University, a veritable Carbonari bastion]. With the help of two of his father’s friends, authors Edith Wharton and Henry James [Henry James would himself serve as the American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps’ chairman], Norton associated his [ambulance] service with the British Red Cross and the St. John’s Ambulance.” Richard Norton's American Volunteer Motor-Ambulance Corps). Harry Crosby was indeed a descendent of Illuminati forebears. A famous poet in his own right, Harry Crosby counted Allen Ginsberg’s mentor William Carlos Williams amongst his own closest friends. Harry Crosby’s wife, Caresse Crosby (creator of the modern bra), was a friend of Kenneth Anger’s friend Robert Duncan (Robert Duncan, a member of the Theosophical Society, started out in the same bohemian magic circle as Theosophical Society-member Henry Miller and Anais Nin), and of Henry Miller and Anais Nin (Anais Nin would appear in Kenneth Anger’s film Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome [so it is likely Caresse Crosby had direct connections with Kenneth Anger as well]). Caresse Crosby also personally knew Buckminster Fuller, as well as Ezra Pound (Pound being a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats) with whom the Crosbys carried out an extensive correspondence] and Beatrice Wood (her friend Marcel Duchamp collaborated artistically with Andre Breton) from San Francisco (Beatrice Wood, who had attended the Julian Academy of Arts in Paris, later: “…settled in Ojai, California in 1948 to be near the Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti and became a lifelong member of the Theosophical Society – Adyar…” – Wikipedia: Beatrice Wood) were caught in the fever of creativity. Robert McAlmon (who at one point in time worked with Williams Carlos Williams in New York), and Maria and Eugene 646

Jolas [the Jolas were friends of Theosophical Society-members/authors James Joyce and Henry Miller] came to Paris and published their literary magazine Transition… While the area attracted people who came to live and work in the creative, bohemian environment (the word ‘bohemian’ is oft times synonymous with ‘magic practicing’), it also became home for political exiles such as Vladimir Lenin (a Russian Marxist revolutionary who led the so-called ‘October Revolution’ during the Russian Revolutions of 1917; Lenin was the Bolshevik leader), Leon Trotsky (another influential Russian Marxist revolutionary), Porfirio Diaz (a revolutionary leader/army general who served as President of Mexico from 1876 – 1911 A.D.), and Simon Petlyura (a Ukranian revolutionary leader during the Russian Revolutions of 1917; he would be assassinated here in Paris in 1926 A.D.). But, World War II forced the dispersal of the artistic society (as Hitler conquered France and with it Paris in 1940 A.D.), and after the war (in the post WWII era) Montparnasse never regained its splendour. Wealthy socialites like Peggy Guggenheim, who married artist Max Ernst, lived in the elegant section of Paris but frequented the studios of Montparnasse, acquiring pieces that would come to be recognized as masterpieces that now hang in the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice, Italy.” – Wikipedia: Montparnasse. Some extremely interesting associations indeed. All the more interesting when one considers the fact the American Consul in Paris in the latter years (1930 – 1936 A.D.) was Allen Dulles’ man in the field Robert Daniel Murphy and that poet Archibald MacLeish was himself a friend of fellow Bonesman Gerald Clery Murphy (whose Boston Brahmin family owned the Mark Cross Company, makers of luxury leather goods [for which corporation Murphy would serve as president] complete with shops in Boston, London and New York’s Fifth Avenue and would became a major consumer and luxury goods importer complete with catalogue, wholesale and upscale retail operations. The company began its days as a saddle manufacturer and from 1845 onwards many a young man who ventured his way West would do so upon a Mark Cross saddle or one which was distributed thereby) and of his wife Sara: “Gerald Clery Murphy and Sara Sherman Wiborg [Sara Sherman Wiborg was a relative of Union Civil War General William Tecumsah Sherman] were wealthy, expatriate Americans who moved to the French Riviera in the early 20th century and who, with their generous hospitality and flair for parties, created a vibrant social circle, particularly in the 1920s, that included a great number of artists and writers of the Lost Generation [the socalled ‘Lost Generation’ is Gertrude Stein’s Montparnasse group of artists and writers. The Murphy’s: “…became the center of a large circle of artists and writers of later fame, especially Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald (Fitzgerald’s novel Tender is the Night contains a dedication to Gerald and Sara. Fitzsgerald’s friend John Peale Bishop [Bishop incidentally enough being Aleister Crowley’s mother’s maiden name] who resided in Paris at this 647

time as a member of the Lost Generation would go on to serve under FDRappointee Nelson Rockefeller in the Office of the Coordinator of InterAmerican Affairs [which worked secretly in an Intelligence capacity with the BSC MI6 Intelligence network headquartered in New York’s Rockefeller Center. FDR’s friend/Harvard-attendee/Newsweek© magazine-owner Vincent Astor had worked with Allan Dulles in the creation of this Intelligence network], later serving as a CIA agent/Resident Fellow at the Library of Congress), Ernest Hemingway (whom the Murphy’s supported financially), John Dos Passos, Fernand Léger, (Kenneth Anger’s friend) Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Archibald MacLeish, John O’Hara (John O’Hara’s novel Pal Joey would be made into a 1957 A.D. film starring Frank Sinatra), Cole Porter (Cole Porter, whom Gerald Clery Murphy had met at Yale, was one of his closest friends), Dorothy Parker (during WWII Dorothy Parker would collaborate on an anthology entitled The Portable Dorothy Parker and intended for distribution to U.S. servicemen for which anthology the Forward was provided by British spy/author W. Somerset Maugham—Maugham’s boss in the SIS [MI6] during WWII was Sir William Wiseman mentor to British spymaster Sir William Stephenson, a good friend of William J. ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan with whom he would work to form the OSS [an Intelligence precursor to the CIA itself] with which was associated the actress Marlene Dietrich who was known to have had carried on a torrid homosexual love affair with Standard Oil heiress Marion Barbara Carstairs [grandaughter of Standard Oil founding partner Jabez A. Bostwick, a partner of John D. Rockefeller; the Dulles’ brothers who used the Rockefeller Foundation as a coduit for funding CIA operations were one-time employees of Standard Oil) and (Algonquin Round Table-founder) Robert Benchley (Robert Benchley, a Harvard University attendee, would become an RKO contract actor and would work at MGM studios with Clarke Gable [Clarke Gable, also known to have appeared in RKO films, was a friend of British Intelligence agent/actor David Niven. Robert Benchley’s grandson, author Peter Benchley, would work closely with Hollywood director Steven Spielberg during the film adaptation of his novel, Jaws] and Jean Harlow, a close friend of mafiosa Bugsy Siegel).” Robert Benchley was part of the informal Algonquin Round Table** group [circa 1919 – 1929 A.D.] which included Harvard University attendee Robert E. Sherwood [as well as Dorothy Parker] who would later serve as a speech writer to U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and serve as Director of the Office of War Information (OWI***) during WWII under whom served the aforementioned British spymaster William Stephenson and the Assistant Director of the Office of War Information, the abovementioned Archibald MacLeish].” – Wikipedia: Gerald and Sara Murphy (**Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and Robert E. Sherwood lunched regularly at the Algonquin Hotel [hence the name Algonquin Round Table] because of its convenient 648

location – it was situated just a few doors away from the offices of Vanity Fair© magazine** where they were all employed [**Vanity Fair© magazine takes it’s name from the allegorical ‘Vanity Fair’ the chief lord of which is the demon Beelzebub as cited in Chapter 6 of John Bunyan’s book Pilgrim’s Progress]. A number of Algonquin Round Table group members got their journalistic starts working for the Department of Defense’s Stars and Stripes newspaper [whose staff included Algonquin Round Table member Alexander Woollcott, drama critic for The New York Times] in France during WWI under its editor Harold Ross, founder of The New Yorker© magazine). No doubt these individuals were part of a major Intelligence gathering hub [and what more is journalism than the gathering of Intelligence]. Their lives basically centered upon a former private mansion-turned-hotel which they themselves had renovated called the Hotel du Cap in Antibes on the French Riviera: “Guests who flocked there included [the usual cast of Illuminated characters] Marlene Dietrich [an OSS spy], the Duke and Duchess of Windsor [Prince Edward, formerly King Edward VIII and his Pennsylvaniaborn wife Wallis Simpson, whose own close friends included du Pont

heiress Renée du Pont as well as Sir Oswald Mosley and his wife, Mitford sister Diane Mosely, both of whom were their neighbors in pre-WWII France. Sir Oswald Moseley’s close associates included Aleister Crowley’s right hand man, General J.F.C. Fuller], [British P.M.] Winston Churchill and [French President] Charles De Gaulle [leader of the Free French Forces during WWII]. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton conducted an affair and honeymooned there. The hotel has traditionally been a particular favourite of film stars [many of whom no doubt also had/have Intelligence associations], especially during the annual Cannes Film Festival.” – Wikipedia: Hotel du Cap) (***Pertinent Quote: “Some of

the writers, producers, and actors of OWI [the Office of War Information] programs [recruited from Hollywood ranks during WWII] admired the Soviet Union and were either loosely affiliated with or were members of the Communist Party USA. The director of Pacific operations for the OWI, Owen Lattimore, who later accompanied U.S. Vice-President Henry Wallace [VP under FDR] on a mission to China and Mongolia in 1944, was later alleged to be a Soviet agent on the basis of testimony by a defector from the Soviet GRU, General Alexander Barmine [FDR’s economic advisor Lauchlin Currie was determined to have been a Soviet spy as well]… Flora Wovschin, who worked for the OWI from September 1943 to February 1945, was later revealed…to have been a Soviet spy.” – Wikipedia: United States Office of War Information. The ranks of the OSS were also found to have been greatly compromised by Soviet double agents. 649

It was for this reason the Hollywood Black List was in fact instituted by the House Committee on Un-American Activities [HCUA]; it was necessary to ferret out Soviet spies within an established Intelligence network which used the entertainment industry as a front and employed entertainers as agents. Dorothy Parker would later be blacklisted by the HCUA as her name appears upon this notorious Hollywood Black List. Needless to say, although I feel the need to say it, somebody biffed up big-time. Also of an interesting note is the Silvermaster spy ring wherein OSS founder William J. Donovan’s own assistant, Duncan Chaplin Lee, a descendent of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, was himself determined to have been a Soviet double agent [this also being a finding of the Clinton-era Moynihan Commission on Government Secrecy. According to its findings, most of these spies were never even prosecuted. Outed Soviet double agent/OSS spy Phillip Keeney and his wife Mary Jane Keeney (a WWII member of the Board of Economic Warfare who would go on to work for the United Nations in the post-WWII era) would themselves go on to open a 1960s era Beatnik theater called Club Cinema (featuring foreign language films, live music performances and Beatnik poetry readings) located in Greenwich Village]. For more information google the ‘FBI Silverman File,’ the ‘Venona Project’ [which also revealed Harvard University grad/OSS agent Harry Dexter White to have been a Soviet spy as well] and the ‘Moynihan Commission on Government Secrecy.’ Of an entirely interesting and no doubt pertinent note, as the reader shall discover, former OSS agent/anthropologist Gregory Bateson, friend and mentor to Harvard anthropologist/practicing Shaman/psychotherapist/Keeney Institute for Healing** co-founder Bradford Keeney [son of the aforementioned unprosecuted Soviet double agent/OSS spy/Greenwich Village Beatnik theater owner Phillip Keeney], would go on to work with Greenwich Village Beatniks under project MKULTRA during the mystic 1960s) (**Located in Los Angeles, CA and yet still in existence today, the Keeney Institute for Healing [today headed by the Alan Watt’s associated-California Institute of Integral Studies grad Hillary Keeney (she being according to her Linkedin© page a co-founder of the Keeney Institute for Healing)] is, according to the Keeney Institute for Healing’s Facebook© page: “Dedicated to advancing the wisdom and practice of ecstatic healing, shamanism, and spiritual transformation.” Apparently, many aspects of MKULTRA do in fact live on. It would 650

also appear that the Intelligence services employ the psychiatric field for domestic intelligence gathering purposes as well) Alan Watts at the age of 16 was the secretary of Christmas Humphries’ London Buddhist Lodge (later renamed the Buddhist Society), founded through Christmas Humphries’ connections with alleged Russian spy Nicholas Roerich (Roerich himself connects to H.G. Wells, Director of British Intelligence during WWI and to President Franklin D. Roosevelt through his association with Roosevelt’s Vice-President Henry A. Wallace whom Wallace often addressed as his ‘Guru’: “During the 1940 presidential election, a series of letters that Wallace had written in the 1930s to Theosophical Society-member Nicholas Roerich was uncovered by the Republicans. Wallace [a high-degree Freemason] addressed Roerich as "Dear Guru" and signed all of the letters as "G" for Galahad, the name Roerich had assigned him (members of magic-practicing occult societies typically receive new magical names upon their acceptance therein. Notably enough, Henry A. Wallace [whose great grandfather was an Irish immigrant] was known to have carried on a correspondence with Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member George William Russell, a member of the Dublin branch of the Theosophical Society. It would appear Henry A. Wallace was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as well). Wallace assured Roerich that he awaited "the breaking of the New Day" when the people of "Northern Shambhalla" [read: Azazel and his angels]…would create an era of peace and plenty.” – Wikipedia: Henry A. Wallace. Nicholas Roerich (as is germain to our discussion, Nicholas Roerich on p.196 of AltaiHimalaya: A Travel Diary notes an encounter with a UFO as his group traveled in the Himalaya Mountains) was a known associate of Dr. Gottfried de Purucker who headed up the Point Loma Theosophical Society in California; Purucker and his wife together had founded the theosophical Agni Yoga Society in New York), Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan and Theosophical Society author Alice Bailey, all Theosophists with which Alan Watts likewise also associated. Alan Watts, it must be noted, is also connected to Joseph Campbell. Both Alan Watts and Joseph Campbell are known to have taken part in CIAconducted MKULTRA LSD experiments. Noteably enough, it was a group of Alan Watt’s own American Academy of Asian Studies** students who would inaugurate the 651

Beatnik movement in America (**the predecessor organization which would give birth to the California Institute of Integral Studies). By Watts’ own account, throughout this Beatnik era he had “experimented with five of the principal psychedelics: LSD-25, mescaline, psilocybin, dimethyl-tryptamine (DMT), and cannabis,” and “in 1959, I tried LSD25 again with Drs. Sterling Bunnell (Dr. Sterling Bunnell was Beatnik poet Michael McClure’s ‘mentor’) and Michael Agron, who were then associated with the Langley-Porter Clinic” (the Langley Porter Psychiatric Clinic, a psychiatric teaching hospital at the University of California, Berkley [where Richard Price in 1960 A.D. would attend a lecture on the subject of “human potentialities” delivered by Aldous Huxley (See p.10 The Upstart Spring)], in San Francisco, the same University with which Ken Kesey (Ken Kesey additionally studied at Stanford University under Malcolm Cowley, a former OSS agent who served as editor for Jack Kerouac, editing Kerouac’s novel On the Road [published 1957 A.D.]), a known MKULTRA test subject, was associated [note well these CIA/MKULTRA associations particularly with the University of California, Berkeley where also was employed from the mid to late 1950s ex-Harvard attendee/WWII Navy vet Alexander Shulgin, a biochemist/psychopharmacologist of psychedelic drugs who was involved in psychedelic research (it was he who formulated the 2C family of drugs and ‘rediscovered’ MDMA, aka Ecstasy. Circa 2014 A.D., MDMA is currently being used to treat armed services personnel for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, a practice harkening back to the days of MKULTRA)]. The LangleyPorter Clinic was known to have been a hotbed for MKULTRA experimentation and this gang was fully immersed in it. The diagnosed schizophrenic Beatnik poet Allen Ginsberg’s therapist, Stephen Schoen, a close friend/associate of MKULTRA researcher Gregory Bateson (Gregory Bateson was the author of the influential publication Towards a Theory of Schizophrenia [1956 A.D.] advocating a Zen Buddhist approach to the treatment of schizophrenia using the composition of poetry and fiction as analytic/therapeutic tools, aided by the coordinated use of Gestalt Therapy and the use of hypnosis, its real world application being the cornerstone upon which the Esalen Institute, a multidisciplinary ‘Humanistic Psychology’ psychiatric treatment center, was built), also worked there at the Langley-Porter Clinic at the University of California, Berkeley in San Francisco as well [(Ibid p.40). Former OSS agent Gregory Bateson had been Esalen Institute-founder Richard Price’s anthropology professor at Stanford 652

University during the mid 1950s (yet another Stanford University professor of note associated with the Langley Porter Psychiatric Clinic at this time was psychologist Robert E. Ornstein,** a close associate of Wicca witch Gerald B. Gardner’s own personal secretary, the magic-practicing Sufi, Idries Shah [See Sufism in Europe and North America, 2004 A.D.]); Richard Price had known Dr. Stephen Schoen from the North Beach Beatnik scene in which Stephen Schoen’s schizophrenic psychiatric patient Allen Ginsberg played a central role (from these facts it becomes quite clear the Beatnik movement was itself MKULTRA-inspired and that the later hippie movement but an Esalen Institute/MKULTRA related extension/expansion)]. Both Richard Price and Allen Ginsberg were diagnosed schizophrenics being treated with LSD by CIA-associated psychiatrists at the Langley-Porter Clinic, and this no doubt under MKULTRA auspices). It was Gregory Bateson who conducted the secret MKULTRA LSD experiments for the CIA in which Ken Kesey participated in 1959 A.D. there at Langley-Porter Clinic, and Gregory Bateson [alongside Alan Watts] would become one of the very first seminar leaders at Esalen Institute with which installation Gregory Bateson would have quite a long storied history (See The Upstart Spring p.319). It may be instructive to learn Alan Watts prior to his participation in LangleyPorter MKULTRA LSD experiments in 1959 A.D. had lectured the year prior in 1958 A.D. at the C.G. Jung Institute, Carl Jung’s psychiatric institute in Zurich, Switzerland [Zurich being the home of Sandoz Labs where LSD was at the very first formulated] where Alan Watts had interacted with Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung himself [See p.116 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman]. Carl Jung [along with Gregory Bateson] served as an OSS agent during WWII under the leadership of OSS-CIA head/MKULTRA-founder Allen Dulles. (**Robert E. Ornstein would co-author a book entitled On The Psychology of Meditation in 1971 A.D. with yet another psychiatric associate of Sufi magician Idries Shah, Chilean psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo who had worked alongside MKULTRA psychiatrist Timothy Leary as a visiting professor at Harvard’s Center for Research in Personality [where numerous Beatnik poets including Allen Ginsberg likewise served as test subjects during MKULTRA LSD experimentations] during the early 1960s, would serve as an apprentice of Fritz Perls at the Esalen Institute, and in 1965-1966 A.D. would become a member of psychologist Leo Zeff’s pioneering psychedelic therapy group. By 1969 A.D. Claudio Naranjo would be working as a 653

consultant for the Education Policy Research Center created by Willis Harman at the Stanford Research Institute [SRI]. Notably enough, Claudio Naranjo was a good friend of University of California anthropology student/practicing Shaman, Carlos Casteneda, Casteneda himself being a nephew of Oswaldo Aranha, President of the United Nations General Assembly). What all this amounted to was the modern treatment of schizophrenia through LSD therapy under MKULTRA auspices with Poetry Therapy as as a supplemental treatment and this according to ancient Shamanic magic practices. The Beatnik era was indeed born in part through Poetry Therapy. As we learn from The National Association For Poetry Therapy: “Poetry Therapy (a form of Bibliotherapy), or poetry which is used for healing and personal growth, may be traced back to primitive man who used religious rites in which shamans and witch doctors chanted poetry for the well-being of the tribe or individual… Historically, the first Poetry Therapist on record was a Roman physician by the name of Soranus in the first century A.D. who prescribed tragedy for his manic patients and comedy for those who were depressed. It is not surprising that Apollo (a god who represented Behemoth/Azazel) is the god of poetry, as well as medicine, since medicine and the arts were historically entwined. For many centuries the link between poetry and medicine remained obscure. It is of interest to note that Pennsylvania Hospital, the first hospital in the United States, which was founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1751, employed many ancillary treatments for their mental patients, including reading, writing and publishing of their writings. Dr. Benjamin Rush, called the ‘Father of American Psychiatry,’ introduced music and literature as effective ancillary treatments. Poem writing was an activity of the patients, who published their work in The Illuminator, their own newspaper.” (Dr. Benjamin Rush, a Pennsylvaniaborn member of the Sons of Liberty secret society, was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, he being an original signer of the Declaration of Independence. Dr. Benjamin Rush was an associate of Benjamin Franklin and additionally served as the Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. One of Rush’s star medical students, Samuel A. Cartwright, would later serve as a surgeon in the army of the Confederate States of America). One case in point that the Beatnik movement itself was a product of poetry therapy (and was largely as must be noted, a therapy introduced by members of the Theosophical Society) is Beatnik-era poet/author Jory Sherman. As Sherman his self explains in an interview: “A.H. (Interviewer Andrea Hughes): ‘I think a fact few people know about you was that you were part of the “Beat movement” with Jack Kerouac in the 1960s (Jack Kerouac had himself been discharged from the Navy after being diagnosed 654

with schizophrenia, his novel On the Road being composed as part of a Bibliotherapy treatment). This must have been a fascinating experience. Can you tell me how this influenced your writing, and what it did for you personally?’ JS (Jory Sherman): ‘I was a manic-depressive, in a special ward at Ft. Miley Veteran’s Hospital in San Francisco (quite likely being treated for PTSD). My therapists asked to tape my sessions in psychotherapy. Then, after a time, they asked me if I would like to get out of going to Occupational Therapy, where I made belts and wallets, and I said I’d kill to get out of it. My psychotherapist offered me a private office, a typewriter and reams of blank paper. That’s when I began to write, without any knowledge or direction. I wrote poetry, not prose. It just poured out of me… In San Francisco (North Beach, circa 1950s), of course, I met a number of writers who became friends, Richard Brautigan (Brautigan was likewise a diagnosed schizophrenic being treated in part with bibliotherapy. Brautigan himself would serve as a 1967 A.D. CalTech Poet-in-Residence and would later have intimate ties with The Digger’s group in San Francisco including amongst whom was Beat poet Lenore Kandel’s Hell’s Angels husband William Fritsch. Richard Brautigan, along with a number of other Beat era poets, was a central element of the Haight-Ashbury/Digger/Glide Memorial Church scene), Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Robert Duncan (a poet with ties to Theosophical Society-member Caresse Crosby, Robert Duncan was a member of the Theosophical Society as well), Bob Kaufman (Bob Kaufman co-founded Beatitude magazine in 1959 A.D. along with, among others, the diagnosed schizophrenic Allan Ginsberg), Leslie Woolf Hedley (author of The Edge of Insanity; she possibly may be related to bi-polar author Virginia Woolf), Charles Bukowski (Bukowski, a poet also with ties to Theosophical Society-member Caresse Crosby, notably enough had failed his military psychological entrance exam and had once described poetry as the “ultimate psychiatrist.” Jory Sherman’s own memoir is entitled Bukowski & Me, a testament to their own close association), Frank Herbert (Frank Herbert [author of the sci-fi novel Dune (1965 A.D.)], had “befriended” psychologists Ralph Slattery and his wife Irene Slattery [likely one or both of them had served as his therapist]. Irene Slattery had been a student of Theosophical Society-member/OSS psychiatrist Carl Jung in Zurich, Switzerland**), and many others.’” - Andrea Hughes interviews western Author JORY SHERMAN (**Pertinent Quote: “Magic is the name for a primitive psychological system. Its goal was illumination…The transcendental experience to be reached by means of ritual and other technical procedures was the heart of the system, which can hardly be guessed at by the uninformed layman, but which some psychologists, including Carl G. Jung (and who form, what Abraham Maslow has called the Third School)** have been profoundly impressed with.” – Roll Away the Stone by Israel Regardie, 1968 A.D. [**aka ‘Third Force Psychology’ which is (as former APA President Abraham Maslow explains as noted in The Third Force: The Psychology of Abraham Maslow by Frank G. Globle, Forward by Maslow, 1970 A.D.) simply another name for magic-based ‘Humanistic Psychology’]). 655

The psychology of music is a subfield of psychology, and numerous books (including straightforwardly enough The Psychology of Music) have been penned upon this very subject. The Beatnik practice of poetry readings recited to jazz accompaniment*** it would appear was essentially a coupling of Poetry Therapy with Music Therapy (and at a later date LSD Therapy was additionally included as well) into a combined modality therapy for the Jungian treatment of schizophrenia (***much in the tradition of 16th Century Renaissance madrigals which complimented poetry composed by the Italian poet Petrarch [who is widely considered to be the ‘Father of Humanism’] with a musical instrument, a practice later giving birth to the concerted madrigal, poetry performed to the accompaniment of an ensemble of musical instruments). Art Therapy and Dance Therapy were often thrown in for good measure. Interestingly enough, as noted in the BBC News© article entitled Mental illness 'at the root of jazz': “The mental health problems of one musician could have led to the creation of jazz… Without his schizophrenia, Charles "Buddy" Bolden—the man credited by some with starting off the jazz movement—might never have started improvisation… Dr. (Sean) Spence said that Bolden was diagnosed as suffering from ‘dementia praecox,’ which later became known as schizophrenia… Bolden is widely considered to have started the jazz movement, which was officially recognised in 1917.” At any rate, artistic creativity has long been linked to mental illness, most particularly that link which exists between literary skills and schizophrenia, as statistically speaking people in creative professions are treated more often for mental illness than the general population itself. It was for this very reason that author E.L. Doctorow had once famously proclaimed: “Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.” As noted in Sex, Drugs, Einstein and Elves: “Professor Kay Redfield Jamison, in her Scientific American article ‘Manic-Depressive Illness and Creativity,’ clearly demonstrates that established artists have a remarkably high incidence of bipolar disorder or major depression.” Indeed, according to a recent study by the highly acclaimed Karolinska Institute in Sweden, artists and scientists are most commonly found amongst families where bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are present. Perhaps one variable which needs also to be considered during psychological evaluation is the patients’s own magical and Spiritualist proclivities, as schizophrenics often report hearing disembodied voices, and this is often indicative of a possessed Overshadowed state. Indeed, as occultist Hans Holzer notes in his book Witchcraft p.552: “…demonic possession…in a medical sense…” is typically diagnosed as “schizophrenia” by members of the medical profession (and hence the Shamanic treatment accorded it). Notice however that one of the main themes quite central to our story is the practice of psychotherapy, and no study of modern magic is complete without such a corresponding study. Indeed: 656

“The word therapy, after all, comes from the Greek word therapeia meaning to nurse or cure through dance, song, poem and drama, that is the expressive arts. The Greeks have told us that Asclepius, the god of healing, was the son of Apollo, god of poetry, medicine and the arts historically entwined. Though poetry as therapy is a relatively new development in the expressive arts, it is as old as the first chants sung around the tribal fires of primitive peoples.” – Poetry as Therapy penned by registered ‘poetry therapist’ Perie J. Longo (Little wonder a pharmacological treatment of schizophrenia was sought seeing as our word ‘pharmacology’ is derived from the Greek word pharmakeia meaning ‘drugs, sorceries and witchcraft’) Modern ‘Poetry Therapy’ practices became prevelant in the 1950s when Greenwich Village Bohemian poet Eli Greifer created his own ‘poemtherapy’ group at Creedmore State Hospital in New York City (as Greifer is said to have cured his own personal psychosis through poetry [See How I Cured My Incurable Ailments by Eli Greifer, 1959 A.D.]). Due to Greifer’s early successes with this group, his poetry therapy technique was adopted by Cumberland Hospital in Brooklyn in 1959 A.D. where his therapy group was facilitated by psychiatrist Dr. Jack J. Leedy and subsequently in 1963 A.D. Greifer would pen his own seminal work entitled Principles of Poetry Therapy. Following Griefer’s death in 1966 A.D., Dr. Jack J. Leedy would carry on Griefer’s work. For more information on the subject of poetry therapy, see Dr. Jack J. Leedy’s definitive book entitled Poetry Therapy: The Use of Poetry in the Treatment of Emotional Disorders (1969 A.D.). Poetry Therapists commonly employ song lyrics and audio versions of songs themselves in such established theurapeutic pursuits. Drama Therapy is likewise a recognized therapeutic tool practiced by registered Drama Therapists. Drama Therapy itself was derived from the ‘psychodrama’ techniques of The New School for Social Research professor/APA-associated psychiatrist Jacob L. Moreno, a pioneer in the development of group psychotherapy (in the late 1930s Moreno had established Beacon Hospital in New York, an alternative healing hospital complete with psychodramatic therapeutic theater). The Esalen Institute was likewise involved in such magic-based therapeutic pursuits, and the genesis of much of the Beatnik and Hippie sub-cultures in Greenwich Village, Los Angeles and San Francisco can largely be attributed thereto. Exemplary of this fact is schizophrenic automatist poet Hannah Weiner (a prime example as well of the confluence of the schizophrenic state with various occult magic practices), a Radcliffe College grad involved in such a therapeutic psychodrama group—Hannah Weiner in this regard had even hosted a number of ‘Happenings’ in New York City which included the collaborative efforts of artists Andy Warhol and fellow Beat generation artist Carolee Schneemann (Schneeman was a friend of filmmaker Stan Brakhage [whose friends included occultists Kenneth Anger and Marjorie Cameron] and Allan 657

Kaprow and had known John Cage [Allan Kaprow studied at The New School for Social Research in New York’s Greenwich Village under John Cage. ‘Happenings’ as defined as ‘performance art’ owes its genesis to John Cage] and would teach at the California Institute of Arts alongside Allan Kaprow). Hannah Weiner would also serve as an Esalen Institute instructor with which institution John Cage was himself associated, no doubt pushing performance art as a therapeutic aid. Alan Watts, an Esalen Institute instructor also involved in magicbased psychiatric pursuits (See Psychotherapy East and West by Alan Watts, 1971 A.D., a book which incorporates Eastern philosophical teachings into a Western form of psychoanalysis), an early psychonaut who had participated in L.A.-area LSD experiments with psychiatrist Dr. Oscar Janiger and MKULTRA company, had joyously reported that with Sandoz LSD-25 he could “move with ease into the state of ‘cosmic consciousness,’” which included the feeling of an “awareness of relativity,” a “link in an infinite hierarchy of processes and beings, ranging from molecules through bacteria and insects to human beings, and, maybe, to angels and gods… From this it is but a short step to the realization that all forms of life and being are simply variations on a single theme: we are all in fact one being doing the same thing in as many different ways as possible… At root, you are the Godhead, for God is all that there is.” Indeed, as is explained in Alan Watt’s book The Joyous Cosmology (1962 A.D.): “Recently our Western science has provided, in the form of chemicals, the most direct techniques for opening new realms of awareness. William James used nitrous oxide and ether to ‘stimulate the mystical consciousness in an extraordinary degree.’ Today the attention of psychologists, philosophers, and theologians is centering on the effects of three synthetic substances—mescaline, lysergic acid (LSD), and psilocybin… these remarkable medicines…temporarily dissolve our defenses and permit us to see what separative consciousness normally ignores—the world as an interrelated whole.” (Which brings to mind a notable D.H. Lawrence quote: “We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts.” – Apocalypse). Nevertheless, Alan Watts cautions, LSD induced “mystical experiences…can very easily be an experience in which you have to test your soul against all the devils in hell.” There existed in San Francisco as well the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco [founded 1964 A.D.] with which Dr. Stephen Shoen and Joseph Campbell [both of whom were involved in MKULTRA experimentations] was associated [which was, as it would appear, a CIA MKULTRA front organization]. Dr. Stephen Schoen, a Harvard College grad who received much of his [Gestalt] psychiatric training from the CIA-associated Esalen Institute’s resident psychiatrist Fritz Perls and from OSS-psychiatrist Gregory Bateson, is a former president of the Gestalt Institute of San Francisco [founded 1956 A.D.] and he also had later lectured at the Naropa 658

Institute. At Naropa, one may obtain degrees in such magic-based Transpersonal Psychology fields as Art Therapy, Dance Therapy and Wilderness Therapy to boot) As we learn from Wikipedia: Counterculture of the 1960s: “Beginning in 1959, (Ken) Kesey had volunteered as a research subject for medical trials (involving the use of hallucinogens) financed by the CIA’s MKULTRA project” (they were attempting, to quote the Wiccan, to “induce a clairvoyant state” through the use of psychedelic drugs as part of many millenniums old Shamanistic traditions. The New Forest coven of witches of which Gerald B. Gardner was a member used as its hallucinogenic drug of choice a common British entheogenic fungi known as the Magic Mushroom for reasons I should not need to explain. For more information concerning the use of drugs to heighten the mystical experience, see Chapter 10 of Gerald Gardner, Witch, by Idries Shah, 1960 A.D.). Ken Kesey also associated with Sonny Barger (by some accounts a CIA assassin) of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club (the Hell’s Angels group, originally founded by OSS officers returning from WWII, was present at a number of MKULTRA test subject Ken Kesey’s Acid Test parties, if not in fact at all of them), the gang which provided security for The Rolling Stones at its ill-fated 1969 A.D. Altamont Free Concert (dubbed “Woodstock West”; Digger cofounder Emmitt Grogan was also essential in bringing this event to fruition. Singer Don McLean alludes to the fact that the murder of an AfricanAmerican named Meredith Hunter at the Altamont Free Concert by a member of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club as the Rolling Stone’s wailed out Sympathy for the Devil (which goetic song incorporates a Cuban Santerian voodoo magic beat [See p.46 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley]— this particular rendition of Sympathy for the Devil included the conga accompaniment of percussionist Kwasi ‘Rocky’ Dzidzornu, son of a West African Voodoo priest skilled in calling forth spirits through the ritual use of drums, a practice in which Rocky was also said to have been quite skilled himself. Rocky also played with Jimi Hendrix whose songs also typically incorporated a Voodoo magic beat) was part of a Satanic “sacrificial rite” in his song American Pie circa 1971 A.D. (with the Altamont Free Concert corresponding to the time of the Winter Solstice, a major pagan holy day, Mick Jagger, a known practitioner of magic, even donned what has been described as a psychedelic sorcerer’s robe for his own priestly magical performance [Ibid p.50,51]). The date chosen for this magic concert ritual [December 6, 1969 A.D.] was set to coincide with the date Aleister Crowley and Victor Neuburg first established contact with the abysmal demon Choronzon [who is the fallen angel Azazel] during a homoerotic OTO sexmagic ritual in an arid North African desert on this date in 1909 A.D. The 659

Altamont Free Concert magical musical event was staged as a ritual (complete with human sacrifice) to celebrate this ceremony’s 60th anniversary. The lighting engineer for this event (and for the Monterrey

Pop Festival and for Woodstock as well) was the Tony Award-winning Greenwich Village Village Gate nightclub lighting designer Chip Monck (who once worked with Harvard University’s theater company), a friend of Bob Dylan whose own group of friends included OTO-member Harry Smith (Pertinent Quote: “…the O.T.O. …specializes in sado-masochistic and sodomitic sex magic [magica sexualis including ritual flagellation and S&M practices], blood drinking and manifests a violent hatred of coloured people…” – p.119 The Anatomy of Witchcraft by Peter Haining. So it is of some significance that a black man was in fact the chosen human sacrifice). And as we learn from p.177 Anger by Bill Landis, this entire magic concert ritual event had in fact been inspired by OTO/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger himself, as: “The (Rolling) Stones were employing all (the knowledge of magic ritual) they had managed to learn from their association with (Kenneth) Anger.” As Bill Landis therein explains, “massive amounts of cocaine” were employed during the concert as a religious sacrament during this ceremonial magic ritual in an effort “to fuel Jagger’s attempt at incarnating Lucifer… As is so often the case with black magic workings, Jagger had sought to covet the devil’s power and was used as a pawn to do his work.” And what with music and dancing being the staples they are of such arcane magic rituals, and seeing as though so many rock bands exhibit such a magical background themselves, one cannot help but to believe as charged that perhaps such concerts were and are specifically designed as 20th Century versions of arcane magic rituals. Concerning this subject the Wiccan high-priestess Margot Adler (a student at the University of California, Berkeley at this time in the late 1960s; Margot Adler would be awarded a Nieman Fellowship at the Harvard University school of magic in 1982 A.D.) enlightens her readers on p.253 of Drawing Down the Moon that: “…some of the most powerful (magic) rituals in the United States” had been performed live on stage at the “rock concerts of the 1960’s.” Altamont Free Concert was certainly one of note, and the film Gimme Shelter in essence is a filmed magic-ritual in the grand tradition of ‘Underground’ filmmaker Kenneth Anger, Anger being an inner-circle member of The Rolling Stones’ retinue itself. Gimme Shelter is also one of the most viewed snuff films in existence. Snuff films are in fact quite popular within the black magic practicing pagan community.

The very origin of the word ‘music,’ derived from the Greek word mousike, ‘the art of the Muses,’ is certainly instructional as to music’s own magical origins. Indeed, as Lyndon LaRouche once 660

wrote: “Rock [music] is essentially a revival of the ancient (Greek) Dionysic, Bacchic rituals.” In the words of Canadian psychologist Dr. Walter Wright: “Rock has an incessant throbbing beat, the same beat that people in primitive cultures use in their demonic rites and ceremonies.” Even Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart who had himself taken part in an exhaustive study of the origins of Rock and Roll music would likewise concede in Drumming at the Edge of Magic: A Journey into the Spirit of Percussion (1990 A.D.), that the jazz, the blues, the backbeat, the rhythm and blues, and the Rock and Roll music genres can all be traced to the magical rhythms of Voodoo witch doctors and magic-practicing Shamans. (Pertinent Quote: “…music may well have originated in shamanism… shamanism…is the source from which all magic arose… ‘Shamanism’ has come to be used generally for the primitive forms of magic which involve dancing and drumming in order to get into communication with spirits.” – p.193 The Rebirth of Witchcraft by Doreen Valiente. And as Wicca witch Patricia Crowther points out in Lid Off the Cauldron, well known witch dances, particularly as detailed in Salem Witch Trial transcripts, would re-rear their ugly heads in the form of early ‘Rock and Roll’ dances). Many bands and musical artists of the era even purposely incorporated within their bands bongo drummers versed in true Voodoo magic beats which were/are traditionally used to call forth spirits. Even the ‘King of Rock and Roll,’ Elvis Presley: “…was accused of leading civilization back to the jungle with voodoo rhythms. Some of the most extreme fundamentalists saw him as an agent of the devil…” (See p.222 The Mammoth Book of Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll). Elvis Presley is even perhaps the most famous and popular member of the Theosophical Society ever known and had even considered himself to be an instrument of the Great White Brotherhood of rebellious fallen angels: “Elvis believed that he was working under the aegis of these masters (the White Brotherhood)… He felt somehow connected to them and thought that they had helped him... In Elvis’ mind, his life was being directed divinely by the brotherhood of masters and illuminated beings, enlightened entities that have existed since time immemorial.” - If I Can Dream by Larry Geller (Larry Geller was a member of Elvis Presley’s Memphis Mafia who had worked with Manson Family murder victim Jay Sebring [a member of the Church of Satan] prior to his fateful meeting with Elvis in 1964 A.D. [the pair had owned and operated the very first hair styling salon for men in America, catering to the stars]. Larry Geller would serve as Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley’s Spiritualist mentor, both of whom were involved with the Self-Realization Fellowship, an organization with major OTO associations [Manson Family-member Leslie Van Houten, convicted in the 661

murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, had previously been involved with the SelfRealization Fellowship group as well (See p.100 The Family by Ed Sanders)]. For more information see Leaves of Elvis’ Garden by Larry Geller). The famous witch Sybil

Leek in The Complete Art of Witchcraft p.162 even goes as far as to refer to Rock and Roll musicians as the “high priests” of a “noisy new cult.” Modern day ‘Rock and Roll’ concerts with their staged lyrical song performances and nationwide concert tours are essentially a fusion of the bardic and traveling troubadour traditions. Many musicians act in essence as spirit-inspired Spiritualist mediums (and this is true of many Hollywood actors as well who also channel a magical Muse, channeling spirits to aid them in their theatrical performances and this according to traditional ancient Greek magic practices), their music being a form of automatic writing. As Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones explains: “We receive our songs by inspiration, like at a séance” (Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, Rolling Stone© magazine, May 5, 1977, p.55). As John Lennon’s wife Yoko Ono has likewise noted: “They [The Beatles] were like mediums. They weren’t conscious of all they were saying, but it was coming through them…” (See p.106 The Playboy Interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, 1982 A.D.). In the words of Beatles band-member John Lennon concerning the band’s automatist musical proclivities: “It’s like being possessed: like a psychic or a medium.” (Ibid p.203). As Lennon would additionally explain: “When the real music comes to me, it has nothing to do with me 'cause I’m just a channel. It’s given to me and I transcribe it.” (See p.134 Spirit into Sound: The Magic of Music by Mickey Hart). To quote from pop performer Michael Jackson: “I wake up from dreams and go ‘Wow, put this down on paper,’ the whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face. I feel that somewhere, someplace it’s been done and I’m just a courier bringing it into the world. When I hit the stage it’s all of a sudden a ‘magic’ from somewhere that comes and the spirit just hits you, and you just lose control of yourself.” As musician Little Richard explains: “I was directed and commanded by another power. The power of darkness...that a lot of people don’t believe exists. The power of the Devil. Satan.” (Little Richard, cited by Charles White, The Life and Times of Little Richard, p.206). And again: “JIMI HENDRIX’ girlfriend, Fayne Pridgon, said: ‘He used to always talk about some devil or something was in him, you know. He didn’t know what made 662

him act the way he acted and what made him say the things he said, and the songs and different things like that –just came out of him. It seems to me he was so tormented and just torn apart and like he really was obsessed, you know, with something really evil…” (sound track from the film Jimi Hendrix, interview with Fayne Pridgon, side 4, cited by Heartbeat of the Dragon, p.50). Joni Mitchell has even said a “male muse” helps her write her musical compositions (See Why Knock Rock? p.112). These examples are in fact quite typical. For more detailed information see Heartbeat of the Dragon: Occult Roots of Rock and Roll by Mark Spaulding. According to the Sufi magic-adept G.I. Gurdjieff (an adept in the practices of Sufi trance-musicians [and Rolling Stones band-members had indeed studied with a group of Sufi trance-musicians known as the ‘Joujouka Pipers’]), music can even be made to hypnotize a person: “…an Eastern method of hypnotism…depended on the subject’s susceptibility to music, especially to different chords. At a certain climactic chord” Gurdjieff explained, the subject “would go into a trance” (See p.403 The Occult by Colin Wilson). Similarly, members of the Jilala cult of Moroccan dervishes, the Jilala musicians, employ a ritual magical musical system “designed to bring about trance, or (spirit/demonic) possession.” (See p.363 Without Stopping by Paul Bowles). Of course in this hypnotic state the individual is psychologically open to any forthcoming suggestion, and the desired message (in lyrical form of course) may be thereafter fed into the hypnotized psyche as the song thenceforth progresses. Music has long been incorporated into brain-washing techniques which operate through the manipulation of alpha wave rhythms of the brain. As Dr. William Sargent, head of the Psychological Medicine Department at St. Thomas Hospital in London has noted: “…the Beatles and African witch doctors all practiced a similar type of brainwashing.” (See The Wichita Beacon, Feb. 17, 1965, p.11A). As an anonymous adept interviewed by Brad Steiger for his book Revelation: The Divine Fire has noted concerning the birth of Rock and Roll music: “Music can be used for hypnotic conditioning… We are seeing the return of some types of music used centuries ago in many of the ancient mystery religions…” Even the Greek philosopher Plato in The Republic lauds music (and hence the practical application of sound waves) as a mode for social control (per Plato: “…musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul…”) and it is not for naught that the Greek god Pan did ply his highpitched pagan pipes, even to the point of throwing his listeners into an uncontrollable panic—as music typically acts upon the Alpha rhythms of the human brain (Pertinent Quote: “Music…has been found to have an effect 663

upon the subtle energies of the human mind and body. With the development of synthesizers, a new music is being created and made available in the form of cassette tapes for use in meditation and ritual. Music has always been a magical thing, used by witches as an aid in their working.” – p.214 The Rebirth of Witchcraft by Doreen Valiente. In a typical old-time Old Religion witch’s coven, Valiente therein notes: “…there would have been a musician, probably more than one, who provided the music for the dances.” – Ibid p.82. In keeping with this tradition as well: “Music is an integral element of Wiccan ceremony.” – p.253 Witchcraft by Hans Holzer, 2002 A.D.). Indeed, as Heavy Metal musician/Church of Satan-member Marilyn Manson has noted: “Music is one of the strongest forms of magic.” It is also for this reason modern electronic dance music is infused with a repetitive hypnotic beat—Trance as a musical genre typically incorporating a tranceinducing tempo of 110-150 beats per minute is said to have been developed in the magical bastion of Germany during the techno 1990s. As revealed in a William S. Burroughs’ Jimmy Page interview: “The Led Zeppelin show (in essence a rock concert magic ritual) depends heavily on volume, repetition and drums. It bears some resemblance to the trance music found in Morocco (amongst Sufi trance-musicians), which is magical in origin and purpose–that is, concerned with the evocation and control of spiritual forces (as William S. Burroughs therein notes: “Music, like all the arts, is magical and ceremonial in origin.”). In Morocco, musicians are also magicians (as is also the case in many pagan cultures and amongst modern professional musicians as well). Gnaoua (Gnawa) music is used to drive out evil spirits (Gnawa music, which falls into the Sufi trancemusic category, is additionally employed in magic rituals to invoke the jinn who are in fact rebellious fallen angels. Such ceremonies are always accompanied by ritualized dancing). The music of Joujouka evokes the God Pan (who is Azazel), Pan God of Panic (Pertinent Quote: “…music is, and has been since its beginning, the method of communication with the gods.” – Revelation: The Divine Fire)… It is to be remembered that the origin of all the arts–music, painting and writing–is magical and evocative (which is particularly true amongst the magic-practicing artists, writers, poets and musicians who appear within this story); and that magic is always used to obtain some definite result. In the Led Zeppelin concert, the result aimed at would seem to be the creation of energy in the performers and in the audience (such as that magical energy said to be generated by the ‘cone of power’). For such magic to succeed, it must tap the sources of magical energy, and this can be dangerous (as it oft times will result in rioting)… We talked about trance music. He had heard the Brian Jones record (Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka [1971 A.D.]) from recordings made at 664

Joujouka. We discussed the possibility of synthesizing rock music with some of the older forms of trance music that have been developed over centuries to produce powerful, sometimes hypnotic effects on the audience…” - Rock Magic: Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, and a search for the elusive Stairway to Heaven by William S. Burroughs, Crawdaddy© Magazine, June 1975 A.D. (a highly recommended article—google it if you get the chance. Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant would himself explain the automatic-writing process involved in the composition of the lyrics to Led Zeppelin’s song Stairway to Heaven: “Pagey [Led Zeppelin lead guitarist Robert Page, a friend of Kenneth Anger] had written the chords and played them for me. I was holding the paper and pencil, and for some reason, I was in a very bad mood. Then all of a sudden my hand was writing out words. I just sat there and looked at the words and then I almost leaped out of my seat.” A typical case of automatic writing/possession). During hallucinogenic drug use, synesthesia may be experienced, particularly with the aid of musical stimulation—for this reason many Shamanic magic rituals involve entheogens, drums and drum circles, all often in evidence at rock concerts and music festivals. Synesthetic experiences can have measurable behavioral consequences. As Church of Satan high-priest Anton LaVey himself concedes: “Music can inspire people to murder or violence.” It is this selfsame magical concept that gave birth to the application of martial music in fight songs such as Garryowen—magic and the military in fact go hand in malevolent hand. Indeed: “Man is, as we know, sensitive to all frequency ranges, from Sound up to Light… According to Aldous Huxley, the new frontier, where we may expect a break-through, is in the realm of Sound…” FSR: UFOs and ESP by P.M.H. Edwards, 1970 A.D.

Music, like the angelically soothing great Lost Chord of ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’ composer Arthur Sullivan, may also be used to pacify an individual as The Bible’s 1Samuel Chapter 16 would likewise seem to suggest (and as previously noted, music has long been used to exorcise evil spirits): “But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. And Saul’s servants said unto him, ‘Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee [which ‘evil spirit’ (often representative of a specific microwave frequency such as an ELF wave), as we learn from 1Samuel 19:9-10, had incited Saul to violence and murder]. Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp (hence the term, ‘cunning man’): and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well’… And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him” as did Saul’s thoughts of violence and murder which had at once accompanied its presence. Perhaps such music disrupts the incoming Overshadowing ELF waves through the process of interference thereby 665

creating a new and harmless wave pattern (and in this way you may note by the employment of a harp their HAARP weapons can be defeated). The following is in reference to the song David sang which is an allusion to the angel Azazel: “And at that time the spirit of the Lord was taken away from Saul, and an evil spirit oppressed him. And Saul sent and fetched David, and he played a psalm upon his harp in the night. And this is the psalm which he sang unto Saul that the evil spirit (Azazel) might depart from him.There were darkness and silence before the world was, and the silence spake, and the darkness became visible. And then was thy name created, even at the drawing together of that which was stretched out, whereof the upper was called heaven and the lower was called earth (from whence Adam [which translates as earth] was created). And it was commanded to the upper that it should rain according to its season, and to the lower that it should bring forth food for man that should be made. And after that was the tribe of your spirits made. Now therefore, be not injurious, whereas thou art a second creation (whereas the angels professed to be senior to man in the Creation), but if not, then remember Hell (Tartarus) wherein thou walkedst. Or is it not enough for thee to hear that by that which resoundeth before thee I sing unto many? Or forgettest thou that out of a rebounding echo in the abyss thy creation was born? But that new womb shall rebuke thee, whereof I am born, of whom shall be born after a time of my loins he (Jesus) that shall subdue you. And when David sung praises, the spirit spared Saul.” - The Biblical Antiquities Chapter 60 At any rate, the Biblical Psalms of David were themselves designed as songs of praise to God to be sung to the musical accompaniment of a harp (See Psalms 98:5; the harp is also known as the ‘psaltery’ [and hence the word ‘Psalm,’ from the Greek word psalmos, a song sung to a harp], a 10stringed bowed instrument [See Psalms 33:2]) as a form of thanksgiving and praise to God (See Psalms 43:4, Psalms 71:22, Psalms 147:7 and Psalms 150:3), a worship made complete with dancing (See Psalms 149:3 and Psalms 150:4) to the musical accompaniment of the timbrel (See Psalm 81:2), a timbrel being a percussive device similar in construction to a drum (dancing to the musical accompaniment of the timbrel as a Jewish form of worship dates back at least to the days of the Biblical Exodus [See Exodus 15:20] although the harp and timbrel were previously mentioned in connection with the Cainites as related in Genesis 4:21**), and a pipedinstrument known as an ‘organ’ (See Psalms 150:4 and 1Samuel 10:5. Such musical forms of worship and ritual were practiced during the Babylonian Dispersion as well [See Job 21:12]). (**As noted in The Biblical Antiquities, sex-magic originated with the Cainite descendents of Cain [the son of Azazel by Eve]: “…they that dwelt on the earth had begun to do evil, every one with his neighbour's wife, defiling them…” with rites which included the worship of idols: “…then began the inhabiters of the earth to make graven images and 666

to worship them…” to musical accompaniment: “And he began to play upon the lute (kinnor) and the harp and on every instrument of sweet psalmody (lit. psaltery), and to corrupt the earth…,” rituals made complete with child sacrifice: “I have…taken away sucklings from the breasts, that I might show my sons how to work evil” [See Philo’s The Biblical Antiquities Chapter 2, translation by M.R. James, London, 1917 A.D.]) I offer the following case in point of the ‘cunning’ use of music as contained in the book The Seven Men from Spandau pp.75-76—when an officer’s wife pointed out to Adolf Hitler as concerning “…the war and its inhumanities…”: “Hitler blew up and told me, ‘You people must learn how to hate, all of you. You are much too sentimental.’ I could see my presence irked the Fuhrer and as I made leave, Martin Bormann walked over and put on a record to soothe Hitler’s nerves. When I reached the stairs I heard the blare of Wagner’s Gotterdammerung…” And so did music serve to soothe the savage breast [it was the poet/playwright William Congreve creator of the Congreve rocket who once had mystically proclaimed: “Musick has Charms to soothe a savage Breast.” – The Mourning Bride (1697 A.D.)], which is the reason one will encounter such music during long waits in a doctor’s office as well as at times when you as an irate caller are often put on hold. And music may indeed be used to ‘set the mood’ for better and for worse. Such techniques are in fact a movie industry staple [as occultly revealed in Revelation: The Divine Fire: “Certain frequencies control certain moods… music faster than the normal pulse rate can actually speed up the pulse, increase or decrease the respiratory rate, cause glandular secretions to take place in the blood stream, and trigger involuntary emotional responses” (including in some instances [as is particularly the case with ‘martial music’] the release of adrenaline which is known to trigger a ‘fight or flight’ response. As such an adrenaline rush is typically accompanied by a marked increase in strength, one may certainly begin to see how during the age of swords and sorcery, an adept magus thusly armed with such occult scientific knowledge could be a boon to an army’s offenses)]. Waves, in the form of rhythms and vibrations it must be noted, are carriers of information which may therewith be employed to program and to command the natural computer which is your human brain).

Music, the art of the Muses, has entirely magical roots: “In Chaldea…Amongst the priests there were three distinct classes. The first were the Singers, Musicians, or Exorcists, who were commonly employed in exorcising demons and ministering to the sick. These by their admirable performances on instruments or in solemn chants stimulated the minds of worshipers to devotion, enchanted the listeners (by inducing a trance state), even serpents becoming 667

obedient, and ferocious beasts yielding themselves up to the spell of their delicious melodies.” - Art Magic (Drummer Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead worked through Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics with a number of leading anthropologists, ethnologists and ethnomusicologists of his day in an effort to more fully understand the physiological effects of music upon the human body included amongst which group was Society for Ethnomusicology co-founder/Harvard-grad Charles Seeger [husband of Guggenheim Fellowship Award winning composer Ruth Crawford Seeger who was a co-member along with her composer/astrologer associate Dane Rudyhar of the Theosophical Society], a former professor from The New School for Social Research [he taught there from 1931 – 1935 A.D.] who would serve as research professor at the Institute of Ethnomusicology [the first of its kind founded at UCLA in 1960 A.D. by Ford Foundation-fellow Mantle Hood, a trailblazing ethnomusicologist] at UCLA from 1961 – 1971 A.D. [Charles Seeger’s son Mike Seeger was employed as an ethnomusicologist at the Library of Congress and Charles was the father of folk singer Pete Seeger as well] in a major study to understand the magical qualities of music, generated most particularly as in Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart’s case by percussion instruments such as the drum [See Drumming on the Edge of Magic. Hart’s “psychiatrist friend” Stanley Krippner also took part in these studies as well, for Mickey Hart therein notes how Stanley Krippner “conducted some tests on how quickly and deeply one could induce the hypnotic state with a gong” (See Ibid p.104. The psychology of music is a subfield of psychology, and numerous books [including The Psychology of Music] have been penned upon this very subject). Mickey Hart also worked with the Smithsonian Institute’s senior enthnomusicologist Thomas Vennum best known for his Haitian studies of Voodoo magic which typically uses music during magic rituals as well]. These studies it would appear were concerted and government funded through projects such as MKULTRA [much of whose CIA funding was funneled through the Ford Foundation itself] with social control [for better or for worse] being its ultimate goal. Such scientific efforts would eventually culminate in Mickey Hart’s album Planet Drum [as well as an encyclopedic book by the same name] which incorporates the Shamanic magic beats of the various drummers/percussionists with whom Mickey Hart had worked from all around the world, these works being released in 1991 A.D. Mickey Hart would later serve on the Board of Director’s at the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function whose own prime focus is music-based therapies. Such music therapies are in fact ages-old and magic-based: “As early as 400 B.C., Hippocrates, Greek father of medicine, played music for his mental patients. Aristotle described music as a force that purified the emotions. In the thirteenth century, Arab hospitals contained music-rooms for the benefit of the patients. In the United States, Native American medicine men often employed chants and dances as a method of healing patients. Music therapy as we know it began in the aftermath of World Wars I and II. Musicians would travel to hospitals, particularly in the United Kingdom, and play music for soldiers suffering from war-related emotional and physical trauma.” - Wikipedia: Music therapy. Mickey Hart’s own efforts were a continuation of and part and parcel to these earlier MKULTRA neurological research efforts)

MKULTRA test-subject Ken Kesey himself was the author best known for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1962 A.D.), a novel turned Hollywood movie (whose main character is a schizophrenic) based on his own experiences during the time of his employment at the Veteran’s Hospital in Menlo Park in the San Francisco Bay area of California, one of the very places where he (along with Alan Watts and various future members of The Grateful Dead) had participated in neuropharmaceutical research studies into the effects of psychedelic drugs upon the psyche then being carried out under 668

MKULTRA auspices. This top-secret project was introduced by high-ranking magic-practicing members of the Central Intelligence Agency (the CIA). Notably enough: “The idea [of getting “spaced out on LSD”] was to try to hit that beam and that mode that would enable you to communicate with beings on other planets, other galaxies…” – p.312 The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe). Manson Family-member Tex Watson it is interesting to note during his own infamous murder trial reported on several occasions while under the influence of psychedelic drugs of “talking to space people who would come down out of the sky and you could see their space ships.” You don’t say… The CIA’s MKULTRA project was overseen by a CalTech Doctor of Philosophy named Sidney Gottlieb (a chemist in the ancient alchemistic tradition who specialized in poisons), also known as the “Black Sorcerer,” no doubt in deference to the black magick practices with which he was familiar. As related by Admiral Stansfield Turner (Director of Central Intelligence) during the 1977 A.D. Senate Hearing on MKULTRA, MKULTRA experimentation projects included the study of and I quote, “Aspects of magicians’ art useful in covert operations” (aka Ars Magica, Latin for ‘the art of magic’; apparently ‘MKULTRA: Subproject 19’ concentrated on the creation of what they termed to be a ‘Magic Manual.’ The OSS/CIA and British Intelligence in fact has a long history of employing occultists such as Aleister Crowley as well as stage magicians such as Harry Houdini as spies. In the case of the British, stage magician Jasper Maskelyne serves as quite the notable example. Jasper Maskelyne had been personally recruited by General Dudley Clarke for work in the British Military Intelligence section MI9 as a camoufleur serving under Camouflage Officer Julian Trevelyan. For more information see The War Magician: The True Story of Jasper Maskelyne) and also included, in violation of the Nuremberg Code for medical ethics (as well as in violation of the Code of Ethics for Spiritual Guides, ‘guides’ as defined as Spiritualist Mediums including “curanderas, shamans, [and] priests” whose works it is stressed should at all times be “conducted in ways that respect the common good, with due regard for public safety, health, and order”), the “covert testing on unwitting U.S. citizens” involving the use of LSD in places including San Francisco, CA, which, I should think, would explain the whole Haight-Ashbury scene where LSD (along with MKULTRA-associated Grateful Dead music) flowed so freely, and so often, free (As a matter of fact: “LSD was one of the materials tested in the MKULTRA program. The final phase of LSD testing involved surreptitious administration to unwitting nonvolunteer subjects in normal life settings by undercover officers of the Bureau of Narcotics acting for the CIA.” - I.G. Report on MKULTRA, 1963. Haight-Ashbury was certainly to become one of these instances of ‘normal life settings.’ The foremost of the aforementioned undercover officers from the Bureau of Narcotics acting for the CIA was George Hunter White, alias Morgan Hall. White worked with 669

Captain Al Hubbard (a former high-ranking OSS officer) and the black magic CIA sorcerer Dr. Sidney Gottlieb in this respect under MKULTRA. Al Hubbard was himself a friend of Aldous Huxley; it was Al Hubbard and Al Hubbard’s associate Dr. Humphry Osmond, a British psychiatrist who was working on LSD and mescaline studies for the CIA at Weyburn Hospital in Saskatchewan, Canada who had first introduced Aldous Huxley to LSD in 1953 A.D. And interestingly enough, Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard often tripped together during joint LSD experiences as well). According to Turner, institutions involved in MKULTRA sanctioned activities included “44 colleges or universities, 15 research foundations or chemical or pharmaceutical companies and the like, 12 hospitals or clinics (in addition to those associated with universities), and 3 penal institutions… We also know now that some unwitting testing took place on criminal sexual psychopaths confined at a State hospital (as and I quote: “Certain of the anticipated effects involved mental functions which precluded the use of mental defectives” [quite likely a reference to the diagnosed schizophrenics which keep popping up in our story in association with OSS/CIA MKULTRA psychiatrists], many of these studies being of a neuropharmacological nature)… Most of the people and institutions involved are not aware of (Central Intelligence) Agency (CIA) sponsorship (“The annual grants of funds to these specialists were made under ostensible research foundation auspices [through organizations including the Ford Foundation], thereby concealing the CIA’s interest from the specialist’s institution.” Many institutions, however, were in fact quite fully aware). Such government studies also included the administration of and here I again quote “Mickey Finns” and “knockout drops.” Most of the damning MKULTRA records documenting these experiments as had been revealed during Congressional hearings were later ordered destroyed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb on the premise that: “Public disclosure of some aspects of MKULTRA activity could induce serious adverse reaction in U.S. public opinion” (and I might add invite persecution under the Nuremberg Code. Such obviously unethical and totally illegal actions could also result in a ‘very serious talking to’ from the Code of Ethics for Spiritual Guides people as well). Indubitably, let’s just say that wins the award for ‘Understatement of the Year.’ In the story of psychedelics as a tool to achieve Cosmic Consciousness in a bid to unlock the latent potential of the enigmatic human mind, interesting characters emerge such as OSS/CIA-associated U.S. Army Captain turned psychiatrist: “Alfred Matthew Hubbard (Captain Al Hubbard)…an early proponent for the drug LSD during the 1950s. He is reputed to have been the ‘Johnny Appleseed of LSD’ (also known as the original Captain Trips) and the first person to emphasize LSD’s potential as a visionary or transcendental drug. According to Todd Brendan Fahey, Hubbard introduced more than 6,000 people to LSD, including scientists, 670

politicians, intelligence officials, diplomats, and church figures (“Those said to have participated in the LSD sessions include a prime minister, assistants to heads of state, UN representatives, and members of the British parliament…Hubbard promoted his cause [which ‘cause’ was MKULTRA] with indefatigable zeal, crisscrossing North America and Europe, giving LSD to anyone who would stand still. ‘People heard about it, and they wanted to try it,’ he explained. During the 1950s and early 1960s he turned on thousands of people from all walks of life—policemen, statesmen, captains of industry, church figures, scientists. ‘They all thought it was the most marvelous thing,’ he stated (hardly ‘all’ with Frank Olson, a CIA agent surreptitiously dosed with LSD who subsequently as a result had flung himself to his death from the balcony of a hotel being quite the notable and certainly not the only exception).” – Acid Dreams. In fact: “Hubbard’s secret connections (with the CIA) allowed him to expose over 6,000 people to LSD before it was effectively banned in '66. He shared the sacrament with a prominent Monsignor of the Catholic Church in North America, explored the roots of alcoholism with AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) founder Bill Wilson, and stormed the pearly gates (of heaven) with Aldous Huxley (in a session that resulted in the psychedelic tome Heaven and Hell), as well as supplying most of the Beverly Hills psychiatrists (including one Dr. Oscar Janiger whose creativity experiments with LSD which ran from 1954-1962 A.D. involved hundreds of artists, writers, actors and musicians including such test subjects as conductor Andre Previn, actress Rita Moreno, actors Cary Grant, Jack Nicholson, James Coburn, and writers Aldous Huxley and Anais Nin), who, in turn, turned on actors Cary Grant (Grant was quite the LSD proponent known to have had over 60 such LSD ‘experiences’ and felt that as a result it had changed his life, that he had in fact been “born again”), James Coburn, Jack Nicholson (Nicholson himself starred in the filmadaptation of MKULTRA test-subject Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Coocoo’s Nest which Kesey had admittedly penned while high on LSD, no doubt as part of a MKULTRA ‘creativity experiment’), novelist Anais Nin (Anais Nin was author Henry Miller’s lover during the early 1930s and would later appear in Kenneth Anger’s 1954 A.D. film Inaugeration of the Pleasure Dome), and filmmaker Stanley Kubrick (which begs the question, was the mysterious HAL named as a tribute to AL H.? Most very likely it was). Al Hubbard had been conducting LSD sessions at the University of Vancouver in Canada).” - Who Was "Captain" Al Hubbard? Fahey, 2002 A.D.)…According to some accounts, Hubbard worked at various times for the Canadian Special Services, the United States Justice Department, the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Office of Strategic Services (the OSS, the wartime Intelligence unit, a forerunner to the CIA).” – Wikipedia: Alfred Matthew Hubbard. Such is the way with the shadowy Intelligence world: “Do as thy wilt shall be the whole of 671

the law.” Al Hubbard associated with many pioneering psychiatrists involved in psychedelic experimentation during the 1950s and ’60s included amongst whom was one Dr. Oscar Janiger, one of the aforementioned ‘Beverly Hills psychiatrists’: “Dr. Janiger was part of a small circle of scientists and literary figures in the Los Angeles area who began to use psychedelics at social gatherings in the mid-1950s (as part of Dr. Oscar Janiger’s creativity experiments). In addition to (Aldous) Huxley and Gerald Heard, those who participated in these drug inspired intellectual discussions included philosopher Alan Watts… This informal group was the first to use LSD socially rather than clinically (no doubt under MKULTRA auspices conducted under ‘normal life settings’). Captain Al Hubbard, the wandering shaman (Hubbard was called a “witch doctor.” See p.49 of Acid Dreams) who visited southern California on a regular basis, supplied the group with various chemicals.” – Acid Dreams p.48.

In mystic circles LSD was being hyped as a chemical shortcut to Other Worldly experiences—in psychiatric circles it was peddled as a treatment for psychiatric disorders, and in CIA and Military Intelligence circles it was touted as a mind-control offensive weapon—in their own magical eyes LSD was indeed by definition the alchemical panacea, the Universal Medicine, an “agent of transmutation” the pharmaceutical means by which mankind (to quote Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member A.E. Waite in The Works of Thomas Vaughan) “could be brought to perfection” (Another CIA-associated clinician of note involved in MKULTRA LSD research was Dr. Timothy Leary. Likely another was the Jewish London-born Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn ceremonial magician, Dr. Israel Regardie, a Radio City resident who after a stint in the army during WWII taught psychiatry at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (Aleister Crowley’s former secretary and fellow Golden Dawn-member Israel Regardie had additionally studied psychotherapy under British psychologist/SPR/Ghost Club member Dr. Nandor Fodor, a former associate of Sigmund Freud who was a leading parapsychologist/psychical researcher of his day). Psychiatry, psychology and magic are inextricably entwined; there are areas of magic which do in fact fall into the realm of ‘behavioral psychology’ and psychiatrists/psychologists have long been at the forefront of paranormal investigation. In An Interview With Israel Regardie p.33, Regardie himself recommends aspiring ceremonial magicians undergo at least 100 hours of “psychotherapy in order to prepare them for the great stresses and strains that the Great Work [a “magical procedure” 672

as Regardie therein defines it] imposes…[such a magical preparation is now generally referred to under the pseudo-scientific heading of Contemplative Psychotherapy]” Indeed, psychiatric institutions in Regardie’s day were full of dabblers into the occult who had been driven mad by their experiences (not to mention the many individuals who were driven to commit suicide), for as black magic ceremonial magician Rollo Ahmed notes in The Black Arts concerning the occupational hazards encountered by would-be black magicians: “Melancholia, loss of vitality, delusions, suicide and positive insanity are some of the consequences of having dabbled in the black art.” Modern day schools of magic such as Naropa University offer up such prerequisite psychological conditioning programs for the aspiring ceremonial magician. Even the mystic psychiatrist Carl Jung institutionalized the pagan system of pantheism with his introduction of ‘archetypes’ of the greater ‘collective unconscious.’ In fact, Jung’s brand of psychiatry represents the scientific institutionalization of the prevalent magic practices of his day, particularly as epitomized by the teachings of the Theosophical Society in which mystical order Carl Jung was himself a member, and also by extension, those of the society’s magic-practicing inner-circle the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in which magic order Aleister Crowley and Crowley’s personal secretary, the aforementioned psychologist Dr. Israel Regardie, had played a major role (Jung’s particular psychiatric system was, as we learn from his The Red Book, a product of automatic-writing revealed to Carl Jung psychically in part by his so-called wise spirit guide Philemon (for additional information see also Carl Jung’s Memories, Dreams, Reflections. Rearrange the letters of Philemon and we come up with Nephilom, a variant spelling of Nephilim), a master of form who appeared to him in the guise of an elderly bull-horned winged-man [in essence a winged Chronos/Horned God/Azazel] with whom [as we learn from The Occult p.480] and I once again quote Jung had “held conversations” and this no doubt of the ‘familiar’ variety (and perhaps should be re-thought the entire ‘court-ordered psychiatrist’ concept. In occult circles, this is known as the Attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of one’s Holy Guardian Angel). The psychical researcher Carl Jung it would appear was quite the adept witch—as occult scholar Eric Maple explains: “White witches…a combination of sorcerer, seer and physician…were reputed to have a shrewd 673

understanding of the mental processes and in many respects served as early psychiatrists.” – Witchcraft. As exemplified by Carl Jung, witches even yet today serve as latter day psychiatrists as well. The Wiccan white witch/high-priestess Margot Adler [granddaughter of Alfred Adler, an Austrian-Jewish psychotherapist who has collaborated with Sigmund Freud—Freud himself had worked with Carl Jung; Alfred Adler’s own prized student, Vienna-born Jewish philosopher Karl Popper would go on to found the ‘Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method’ at the London School of Economics in 1946 A.D. (Sir Karl Popper’s own notable students at the London School of Economics included the Rothschild-connected Jewish billionaire investor George Soros [a self-professed former Nazi collaborator and author of the magically entitled book The Alchemy of Finance] whose father, Tivadar Soros [aided by Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg of the Wallenberg banking family], had played an instrumental role in assisting numerous Hungarian Jews in their attempts to escape Nazi persecution during the German occupation of Budapest)] in her book penned on the subject of witchcraft p.52 Drawing Down the Moon [1979 A.D.] rightly identifies the field of ‘psychiatry’ for what it truly is, “psychiatry” being in Margot Adler’s very own words: “…the most popular witchcraft religion of our day...”** The Illuminative introduction from Switzerland at this time of the synthesized entheogenic alchemical drug LSD provided Jungian psychiatry its completely Shamanic tinge. To this effect, astrologer/Theosophical Society-member Dane Rudhyar would blend the Spiritualism practices of the Theosophical Society with the psychological theories of Carl Jung to form a mystical system variously known as Humanistic Astrology/Transpersonal Astrology. The magic-practicing ‘underground filmmaker’ Alejandro Jodorowsky (whose studies included Shamanism, alchemy, tarot and Zen Buddhism) incorporated psychology into his system of magic which is variously known as ‘psychomagic’ and ‘psychoshamanism’; Alejandro Jodorowsky has even participated in isolation tank experiments with MKULTRA experimenter Dr. John C. Lilly (See pp.220–221 The Deep Self: Profound Relaxation and the Tank Isolation Technique, 1977 A.D. by John C. Lilly) and has even associated with OTO-member James Wasserman**** (James Wasserman, founder in 1979 A.D. of the Tahuti Lodge of the OTO [See p.38 Blood on the Altar], was a Weiser Books employee; Weiser Antiquarian Books was the oldest occult bookshop in America located in New York City whose customers have 674

included Karl Germer who would succeed Aleister Crowley as head of the OTO). James Wasserman was a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith (** and as Robert Anton Wilson helpfully points out in Sex, Drugs and Magick p.139, even the techniques employed in the theurapeutic cures for various forms of sexual dysfunction as employed by the husband and wife team of psychologists Masters and Johnson during this very period was in itself “virtually classic Tantrism,” Hindu Tantric Yoga, an Eastern form of sex-magic). Thanks to the Theosophical Society and most specifically to Harvard University, magic today has indeed gone main stream. The seeds of modern psychiatry can in fact be found in the writings of ancient Greek magic-practicing philosophers with Plato being first and foremost on the list. As the psychiatric ‘Father of Cognitive Therapy’ Aaron T. Beck himself explains concerning the basis of his own therapeutical techniques: “The philosophical origins of cognitive therapy can be traced back to the Stoic philosophers (of ancient Greece).” Psychiatry is in fact magic-based being derived in the large from ancient pagan religious practices. Beware of these modern day witches with clip boards in white coats dispensing their pharmaceutical magic. Like any system of magic, psychiatry has its white magicians (those psychiatrists/psychologists who work for the benefit of their patients alone) and black magicians (those psychiatrists/psychologists involved in mind-control/psychological warfare operations). (**** Other notable OTO-connected individuals who shared the Wasserman family surname include entertainment publicist Paul Wasserman [publicist for bands including The Rolling Stones (whose inner-circle member Kenneth Anger, a member of the OTO and the Church of Satan as well, was a former neighbor of Jack Parsons and a friend of Parsons’ widow Marjorie Cameron) and Bob Dylan (a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith) as well as entertainers including Dennis Hopper (Dennis Hopper’s father had been a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge) and Jack Nicholson (amongst the films Wasserman served to publicize include the Hopper/Nicholson film Easy Rider)], Dale Wasserman, a Hollywood screenwriter/playwrite for The Richard Boone Show [running from 19631964 A.D.] amongst whose repertory cast members was actor Guy Stockwell, brother of actor Dean Stockwell, a former member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge [it was Dale Wasserman who in 1963 A.D. had adapted Ken Kesey’s novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest into a play which was later made into a Hollywood movie starring Jack Nicholson], Rob Wasserman [a musician/composer who has performed with many of the bands and musicians within our story including Pete Seeger, Jerry Garcia, Neil Young and Brian Wilson], Hollywood actor Allan Wasserman and San Francisco Chronicle entertainment critic [he wrote the “On the Town” column]/San Francisco State College-instructor John L. Wasserman [whose friends included folk musician Joan Baez, concert promoter/Church of Satan-member Bill Graham and 675

Beat poet Michael McClure]. John L. Wasserman notably enough attended Mount Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley, CA famous graduates of which include San Francisco Chronicle police reporter/Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey and CIA agent Roger Kent [Roger Kent was CIA director Allen Dulles’s right-hand man during the Cold War whose CIA agent/partner in crime was John Starr Cooke who through various mutual associations is tied to all of these individuals]. Mount Tamalpais was, as has been noted, home to the Druid Heights commune which ties to various members of the Beat community as well as a number of individuals associated with the Church of Satan. Many of the individuals mentioned here were residents of Hotel Chelsea in New York along with OTOmember Harry Smith who had attended the very same OTO lodge as Jack Parsons attended. Note that many of these individuals also connect to Solar Lodge OTO-member Charles Manson and the Manson Family as well. Of an interesting note, the U.S. Intelligenceconnected actors Henry Fonda and Ronald Reagan’s own talent agent was a man named Lew Wasserman [a close associate of Motion Picture Association of America president Jack Valenti, a former aid to President Lyndon Johnson] who also played a major political role in Reagan’s bid [the two being close friends] to win the California governorship and his subsequent U.S. presidency, Reagan’s Vice Presidential running mate being former CIA head George H.W. Bush who no doubt knew both Roger Kent and Allen Dulles under whom he likely served)

No one highlights this intersect between black magic, modern psychiatry and spydom more than ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley: “In one of his letters, Crowley says, ‘I was at this time much absorbed in my more serious work of curing deep-seated psychoses...’ The time in question was 1921… Crowley cured psychoses and neuroses in this wise. He saw that the mind or psyche was divided into consciousness and unconsciousness…that was part of the occult tradition. But the conception of the unconscious (or as Crowley calls it, the 'subconscious') as a dynamic and disturbing force, he took from (Sigmund) Freud, without, of course, any acknowledgement. (It would, incidentally, have been rather difficult for Crowley to have made this acknowledgement in the light of his belief in himself as the greatest living psychologist.) It followed that a neurotic or a psychotic was one whose subconscious mind was out of joint with his conscious mind. Crowley’s therapeutic technique, therefore, consisted in flattening out the conscious mind (‘frying the seeds of the ego’) (through the use of hallucinogenic drugs), and leaving the subconscious to fill the gap and provide its Own cure, a technique which seems to have something in common with that of his fellow thaumaturge Gurdjieff.” - p.78 The Magic of Aleister Crowley by John Symmonds. According to Aleister Crowley: “…it was all a matter of getting the subconscious mind to work; and when this subconscious mind was allowed full sway, without interference from the conscious mind, then illumination could be said to have begun; for the subconscious mind was our Holy Guardian Angel [as Israel 676

Regardie explains: “Angels and demons were merely component parts of the brain; we would now use the word ‘unconscious.’” - p.287 The Eye in the Triangle. Thusly, what had previously been known as Overshadowing by angel or demons in psychological circles has come to be defined as the workings of the unconscious/subconscious mind]. Crowley illustrated the point thus: everything is experienced in the subconscious mind, and it (the subconscious) is constantly urging its will on consciousness, and when the inner desires are restricted or suppressed, evil of all kinds is the result.” – p.80 The Magic of Aleister Crowley by John Symmonds (As John Symmonds adds: “…the unconscious determines consciousness, as every psychologist now agrees…” - Ibid p.85. In the case of the demonically possessed Overshadowed individual, this is in fact true). So Crowley’s cure for psychoses was letting Overshadowing angels take over! In the Bible, this was known as ‘spirit possession.’ It is interesting at this time to note, considering Scientology-founder L. Ron Hubbard’s own association with the pseudo-psychiatrist Aleister Crowley (and what with Hubbard’s Dianetics being ‘the modern science of mental health’ albeit based on ancient pagan black magic practices including black magic and Buddhism), the existence of the Psychiatry: An Industry of Death Museum founded by a group of Church of Scientology members in 2005 A.D. located on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA whose main purpose is to protest (in the words of the associated Citizens Commission on Human Rights): “…the brutal pseudoscience and the multi-billion dollar fraud that is psychiatry.” Amen! It is time for Christians to recognize and opt out of such modern-day incarnations of archaic magic practices.

LSD use would sweep the nation. In the words of one eyewitness: “By the early 1960s…a large number of people had already heard about LSD. Some were eager to try the drug… A certain momentum had been generated—thanks in no small part to the CIA—and it quickly reached a point where the government could no longer contain it. Black market acid began to turn up on the street to meet the growing demand.” – p.80 Acid Dreams. And the black market supply of LSD was being illicitly fed largely in part by the very same member of the CIA who spawned its widespread use at the first. As illuminated by Tom Wolfe in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test: “Timothy Leary (a psychiatrist who admittedly had CIA/MKULTRA associations), (the MKULTRA guinea-pig Ken Kesey’s psychiatrist associate Richard) Alpert (Alpert was Timothy Leary’s MKULTRA partner in crime from Harvard University), and a few chemists like (the CIA/MKULTRAassociated) Al Hubbard (both Leary and Alpert were known Al Hubbard associates) and the incognito "Dr. Spaulding" (there was a psychiatrist named ‘Spaulding’ mentioned in MKULTRA Senatorial hearings) had been pumping LSD out into the hip circuit (to the hippies in California) with a truly messianic conviction. LSD, peyote, mescaline, morning-glory seeds (all known entheogenic substances which induce a psychedelic experience) were becoming the secret new thing in the hip life.” In fact, during the 1960s: “Thousands of kids were moving into San Francisco for a life based on LSD and the psychedelic thing” as word began to spread (fueled largely in part by yet another Life© magazine article). Concerning Ken Kesey’s LSD-fueled Acid Test Parties (held from 1965-1966 A.D.): “The first Acid Test featured (Jerry) Garcia’s fledgling band (The Grateful Dead various bandmembers of which like Ken Kesey had taken part in MKULTRA experimentations as 677

well), generous distribution of LSD to people taking it knowingly or unknowingly... there were always magical things happening. Voices coming out of things that weren’t plugged in (a common occult phenomenon)... The second Acid Test included (Timothy Leary’s MKULTRA colleague) Richard Alpert (a.k.a. Baba Ram Dass) and people from ‘the Berkeley psychedelic scene, which was pretty well developed by that time because of the Cabale coffeehouse** (the Cabale Creamery, a folk-music coffeehouse located in Berkeley, CA) in the old days, the mescaline scene and all that.’” – New World Encyclopedia: Garcia, Jerry (At the height of their fame The Grateful Dead typically traveled with an entourage known as “The Grateful Dead extended family” which according to the Urban Dictionary© was involved in selling drugs such as LSD to concert goers). Even Charles Manson had had his first LSD experience at a Grateful Dead concert: “The night I (Charles Manson) dropped my first tab (of LSD), The Grateful Dead was playing at the Avalon Ballroom. Even without the acid, the performance would have blown my mind. All the strobe lights blinking and flashing in a variety of colors.” - p.82 Manson: In His Own Words by Nuel Emmons, 1986 A.D. (** One major individual in this Berkeley folk-music psychedelic scene [dubbed ‘acid folk’] which centered around Berkeley’s two coffeehouses, the Cabale Creamery and the Jabberwock Cafe, was folk musician Pat Kilroy, a resident of the CIA-associated Esalen Institute at Big Sur (Pat Kilroy was known to perform along with Joan Baez at the Big Sur Folk Festival held annually from 1964 – 1971 A.D. on the grounds of the Esalen Institute [Joan Baez, a friend of Bob Dylan with whom she often performed and with whom she had had an affair (and through whom no doubt she was aquainted with Bob Dylan’s friend Harry Smith, a former member of Charles Stansfeld Jones’ OTO lodge in which lodge Jack Parsons’ also received his own initiation into the OTO; both Harry Smith and Bob Dylan were friends of Acid Tester Allen Ginsberg) who were both part of the Gerde’s Folk City Greenwich Village folk-music scene (one of the regulars at which was Albert Grossman who served as band manager for Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company and civil rights activist/musician Odetta Holmes, "The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement" [she performed at the 1963 A.D. March on Washington]). Joan Baez, whose father Albert Baez (like Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert) was a purported MKULTRA researcher at Harvard University during the early 1960s (the town of Cambridge, MA where Harvard University is located, home to the folksy Club 47 where Joan Baez began performing in 1958 A.D., was to become one of the main centers of the early 1960s folk music ‘acid folk’ scene in which Timothy Leary was likewise centrally involved. Indeed: “The Harvard Crimson reported at the time that a ‘frightening fraction’ of [Harvard University] students was securing hallucinogens and trying them. There were also dark rumors that Leary and Alpert were supplying the drugs [psilocybin and LSD] to undergraduates as part of their off-campus ‘experiments.’ … Hallucinogens were becoming very popular at Harvard… More and more, Leary and his convert Alpert were moving their drug experiments off the campus.” – The Story of LSD by John Cashman, 1966 A.D.), was a Big Sur Folk Festival staple (Joan Baez was front and center serving as an agent provocateur at many 1960s anti-war protests as well) who had played there at Esalen Institute every year it was run, even residing there at Esalen Institute for a time]. So many of the bands in our happy little saga have performed at the Esalen Institute at one time or another—the 1971 A.D. movie release Celebration at Big Sur highlights the 1969 A.D. concert event which includes performances by Manson Family-friend Neil Young’s band CSN&Y). Pat Kilroy’s band The New Age would perform along with The Grateful Dead at the San Francisco Human Be-In on January 14, 1967 A.D. Baez and Esalen in the CIA houuusse!) (Author’s Note: It was said MKULTRA would include three distinct phases: “The research and development of materials 678

to be used for altering human behavior consisted of three phases: first, the search for materials suitable for study [including the identification of entheogens used in various Shamanic practices]; second, laboratory [clinical] testing on voluntary human subjects in various types of institutions [as exemplified by Ken Kesey’s participation in voluntary LSD clinical studies, as well as LSD experimentation carried out by Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert at Harvard University]; third, the application of MKULTRA materials in normal life settings [as exemplified by the actions of CIA alchemist Al Hubbard and associates Leary and Alpert who had been pumping out LSD into the hip circuit in San Francisco, CA].” - I.G. Report on MKULTRA, 1963, pp. 1-2). While the once surreptitious private administration by the CIA of LSD to unwitting human test subjects may have been as testified ‘officially’ halted in 1963 A.D. (and it did not seem that it had, it seems it was simply transferred from its urban base at Harvard University to Esalen Institute and its wilderness environs), it was generally administered to both the witting and unwitting public thereafter. (The CIA-associated Captain Al Hubbard, who had claimed as a child to have been “visited by a pair of angels” and who has professed to being perennially “guided by other-worldly forces” (See The Original Captain Trips, Fahey, 1991 A.D.), would later work at the MKULTRA-connected Stanford Research Institute (SRI) under the Church-of-Scientology-founder-L.-Ron-Hubbard-connected top-level Church of Scientology-member and Stanford University Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Harold E. Puthoff, who during the 1970s and 80s directed a CIA-funded program at the Stanford University-allied SRI/SRI International (which institution has always had close links to the U.S. Department of Defense as well as with the U.S. Intelligence community; SRI International was where was ensconced the so-called ‘quantum mystics’ known as the ‘Fundamental Fysiks Group’ founded in 1975 A.D. which performed government-funded research into theretofore quite common archaic magic practices: “Given quantum theory’s implications for the study of parapsychology and telepathy, the group cultivated patrons such as the Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, and human potential movement (for more information of the subject of quantum mysticism upon which subject much of quantum theory is based [that magical paranormal phenomenon such as clairvoyance, telepathy/ESP, etc. may be explained by quantum theory], see The Medium, the Mystic and the Physicist (1966 A.D.) [this book being ‘Exhibit A’ for the prosecution which shows that quantum theory and quantum mechanics are anchored in archaic magical/mystical belief systems] and A New Science of the Paranormal: The Promise of Psychical Research (2009 A.D.) by The New School for Social Research-associated parapsychologist/Spiritualist/ASPRmember/Army psychologist/MKULTRA researcher/author Lawrence LeShan**). The CIA and the DIA set up a program called ESPionage, financing experiments into remote viewing at the Stanford Research Institute, where the Fundamental Physics Group became what Kaiser calls its house theorists.” – Wikipedia. Physics in fact falls within the category of ‘natural magic’) to investigate paranormal abilities (Puthoff also worked under the auspices of NASA and Jet Propulsion Laboratories with which was associated CalTech from where MKULRAhead/black magic sorcerer Dr. Sidney Gottlieb had attained his PhD. CalTech, it would appear, is an ultramodern school of magic and this with official U.S. government funding). It was noted: “Though the most prominently discussed aspect of MKULTRA is the CIA’s LSD work, the program included many other unusual investigations relating to the science of mind control. CIA researchers probed the potential of numerous parapsychological phenomena, including (but not limited to) hypnosis, telepathy (ESP), precognition, photokinesis and ‘remote viewing’ (which will later bring us to The Monroe Institute; the CIA was very interested in the possibilities of ‘psychic spying’).” Basically they were studying the technological capabilities of the alien rebel angels! Perhaps rock and roll bands including The Grateful Dead were also formally/covertly involved in MKULTRA research (** One notable psychical investigator who worked with MKULTRA researcher Lawrence LeShan during the 1960s is the Irish Spiritualist medium Eileen J. Garrett [b.1893 – d.1970 A.D.], a friend of Edward Carpenter who in 1931 A.D. participated in a number of psychical experiments under the direction of Aleister Crowley’s friend Hereward Carrington at the American Society for 679

Psychical Research [the ASPR in which Lawrence LeShan was himself a member. LeShan worked with Garrett during the 1960s]. Garrett also worked in the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University [1932-38 A.D.] under the psychologists J.B. Rhine [a renowned parapsychologist and founder (1957 A.D.) of the Parapsychological Association and member of the Boston Society for Psychical Research, an ASPR splinter group] and Royal Society Fellow William McDougall [the Cambridge University educated William McDougall had served as a professor of psychology at Harvard University under Theosophical Societymember/ASPR-member/Harvard professor William James from 1920 – 1927 A.D. and has served as president of both the SPR and the ASPR and had been psychoanalyzed by Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung as well. MKULTRA researcher Steve Abrams (yet another associate of Carl Jung) was a member of the Parapsychological Association as well]. In 1949 A.D., Garrett would work with Andrija Puharich and Dr. John Hays Hammond, Jr. [Hammond’s father, John Hays Hammond, Sr., was a mining engineer*** who worked at various times for William Randolph Hearst’s father in California (the Hearst family mansion was located on Russian Hill in San Francisco**) and for Cecil Rhodes in Africa and was also an associate of Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison]. In 1951 A.D., Garrett, in partnership with Republican Congresswoman Frances P. Bolton, a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs [a friend of President Eisenhower as well as a close associate of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, brother of CIA head Allen Dulles], founded the Parapsychology Foundation in New York City devoted to “the scientific study of psychic phenomenon” which is still in existence today. Andrija Puharich’s main ‘patron’ was Ava Alice Muriel Astor, cousin of the Lord and Lady Astor from the so-called British Cliveden Set). (***Magic itself was also a pursuit widely associated with mining practices: “Treasureseeking magicians, most of them men, were also employed in mining, where they sought hidden veins of ore…” and this by various magical means [See p.40 Witchcraft by Eric Maple]) (** Of an interesting note, the very witchy Sybil Leek includes a photo of herself performing a magic incantation in 1966 A.D. in the Hearst family mansion located on Russian Hill in her book, The Complete Art of Witchcraft) (Pertinent Quote: “Psychedelic culture was foundational to Esalen [Institute]—legendary think-tank and hive of luminaries and socialites of the emerging holistic paradigm, where everything from Eastern mysticism to the channelling of extraterrestrial intelligences sheltered under a multi-disciplinary umbrella [parapsychology]. Esalen also was a centre of the new quantum mysticism, associated with Jack Sarfatti [who as we learn from the biographical work The Destiny Matrix claims to have been contacted by alien intelligences as a boy during the 1950s], Fred Allan Wolf, Nick Herbert and Saul-Paul Sirag [all members of the Fundamental Fysiks Group]. These are among a sizeable group of physicists who authored popular and influential books, outlining how the new physics might be at the centre of a new holistic and humanist paradigm.” - Alien Initiations by Harald Kleeman, 2003 A.D. Quantum Physics it was believed was the key to understanding occult phenomenon in all of its manifestations)

A CalTech/Allen Ginsberg/Timothy Leary/Richard Alpert link exists in the likes of the psychonautic psychoanalyst and MKULTRA researcher Dr. John C. Lilly (who was also a scholar in residence at Esalen Institute) who combined isolation tanks (he is cited as having developed the first isolation tank which is a device commonly used as a meditation tool) and hallucinogens such as Ketamine (aka Special K, a PCP derivative) in a bid to attain the holy grail of cosmic consciousness which is godhead. John C. Lilly was additionally associated with SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and was amongst the group of scientists who formulated the Drake Equation used to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations present in our Milky Way galaxy (as we learn from Robert Anton Wilson in 680

his book Cosmic Trigger p.113: “Dr. John Lilly, who has duplicated much of Timothy Leary’s research and supplemented it with hypnotic methods and Sufi yoga [which technique employed the Shamanic magic practices of Yezidi devil worshippers], describes many encounters [under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs] with what seem to be extraterrestrial intelligences in his Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer,” even therein holding out the possibility that in all likelihood these “extraterrestrial intelligences” with which he, Dr. John C. Lilly, as a government-funded research scientist during the course of a government-funded research project, had himself established contact, may (and I quote), in likely fact be: “Illuminati Adepts alive now on earth, ‘angels’ in the traditional sense…” As Robert Anton Wilson goes on to illumine: “In The Center of the Cyclone he [Dr. John Lilly] says clearly…‘Such a network [of “Illuminati Adepts … ‘angels’ in the traditional sense”] exists and functions … throughout this earth.’” OTO-member Robert Anton Wilson [a friend to so many of the magic adepts mentioned within our story] through his very own personal experiences of mixing magical practices with various psychedelics as is carefully detailed in his book Cosmic Trigger would likewise come to the very same conclusion as did Dr. John C. Lilly: these angels do in fact exist and are residing here with us on our planet, Earth). In any case, LSD was ‘officially’ first: “Introduced by Sandoz Laboratories (an alchemical operation located in the Illuminati bastion of Switzerland), with trade-name Delysid, as a drug with various psychiatric uses in 1947. LSD quickly became a therapeutic agent that appeared to show great promise. In the 1950s the CIA thought it might be applicable to mind control and chemical warfare; the agency’s MKULTRA research program propagated the drug among young servicemen and students (students such as Robert P. Smith and Ken Kesey). The subsequent recreational use of the drug by youth culture in the Western world during the 1960s led to a political firestorm that resulted in its prohibition. Currently, a number of organizations—including the Beckley Foundation (a charitable foundation one of whose professors included Dr. Albert Hofmann, the Sandoz Labs alchemist who first discovered LSD), MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies; a non-profit which reportedly participates in community events like magic-ritual music festivals such as Burning Man. The MAPS Bulletin has featured articles submitted by Richard Alpert, Ralph Metzner and Abbie Hoffman), Heffter Research Institute and the Albert Hofmann Foundation (CIA employee Frank Barron, founding board-member of the Harvard Psilocybin Project involving Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner and Richard Alpert, was an Advisory Board Member of the AHF; Frank Barron was also a onetime employee of the Esalen Institute** [with which Richard Alpert’s friend Ken Kesey was also associated], and was involved in experiments associated with the 681

CIA/MKULTRA)—exist to fund, encourage and coordinate research into the medicinal and spiritual uses of LSD and related psychedelics.” – Wikipedia: Lysergic acid diethylamide. No doubt these organizations also receive covert government funding). Now who doesn’t believe in reincarnation? Certainly MKULTRA

had been largely reincarnated many times over. (** “Esalen Institute was founded by Michael Murphy and Dick Price in 1962 with the goal of exploring work in the humanities and sciences that furthers the full realization of what Aldous Huxley called "human potential"… Murphy and Price were classmates at Stanford University [on which grounds Ken Kesey, an MKULTRA test subject, once lived, and where often came to visit him Timothy Leary’s MKULTRA research colleague Richard Alpert (See The Electric Kool-Aide Acid Test)] in the late 1940s and early 1950s, although they did not partner until later at the suggestion of Frederic Spiegelberg, a Stanford professor of comparative religion and Indic studies [in the Asian studies department], with whom they had both studied [Frederic Spiegelberg was a friend of psychiatrist Carl Jung as well as Zen philosopher Alan Watts who studied under Carl Jung at the Jung Institute in Switzerland]. In the time since leaving Stanford, Price had attended Harvard University to continue studying psychology, and [at one point in time] lived in San Francisco with Alan Watts [who would lead the very first seminar held at the Esalen Institute]…” – Wikipedia: Esalen Institute). As per an insightful travel website: “Founded by Michael Murphy and Dick Price in 1962, the Esalen Institute is a center for humanistic alternative education. It is well-known for its blend of Eastern and Western philosophies (read: magic practices) as well as its experimental workshops. The institute attracts philosophers (code for practitioners of magic), psychologists, artists, and religious thinkers.” It is still in existence today. Early Esalen Institute workshop leaders of note have included B.F. Skinner (Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology at Harvard University from 1958 – 1974 A.D.; B.F. Skinner worked on the U.S. Navy’s top secret Project Pidgeon), Timothy Leary (a psychiatrist with CIA/MKULTRA associations) and his associate Richard Alpert (Richard Alpert’s father, George Alpert, was one of the founders of Brandeis University, which founding board included Albert Einstein and prominent Zionist rabbi Dr. Israel Goldstein** who himself had served as World Chairman of Keren Hayesod [United Israel Appeal] from 1961-1971 A.D.. Brandies University chaplin Paul Lee is known to have taken part in Timothy Leary’s LSD experiments), Arnold Toynbee (Arnold Toynbee, a British Intelligence agent, worked for the Political Intelligence Department of the British Foreign Office during World War I, a forerunner of SIS/MI6), Joseph Banks (J.B.) Rhyne (parapsycholgist; ESP researcher), U.S. (al)chemist Linus Pauling (someone has to whip up the LSD. Linus Pauling is a former student of CalTech physicist/chemist/Manhattan Project scientific advisor Richard C. Tolman [a CalTech associate of Manhattan Project scientist Albert Einstein] whose brother, behavioral psychologist Edward C. Tolman 682

was a Harvard University-grad who personally studied psychology under the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-associated psychologist Hugo Muensterberg, a close friend of Theosophical Society-member/psychologist William James. Edward C. Tolman would go on to teach psychology at the University of California Berkeley from 1918 to 1954 A.D.) and Foundation for Shamanic Studies-founder Michael Harner (anthropologist Michael Harner, a member of Anmton LaVey’s Magic Circle, was widely acknowledged as the world’s foremost authority on Shamanism, and famously enough had studied the Shamanistic practices of the Conibo Indians in the Peruvian Amazon during the 1960s). Process Church-leaders were also known to head workshops at Esalen Institute, and MKULTRAvolunteer test-subject Ken Kesey likewise had Esalen Institute associations. Another Esalen Institute seminarian was the Navy Intelligence-associated psychologist William Schutz some of whose ‘group dynamics’ research was carried out at Harvard University “in the same department [Esalen Institute co-founder] Dick Price had been a graduate student a few years before” [See pp.151-2 Upstart Spring]. Another interesting individual in the history of the Esalen Institute is Bishop James Albert Pike [who like Alan Watts was a reverend of the Episcopal Church [the Episcopal Church is a direct offshoot of the Church of England, the first parish being founded in the colonial settlement of Jamestown], and an extremely controversial one at that; Bishop Pike was a major early outspoken proponent of both gay rights as well as the separation of Church and state], a Yale law school grad and former member of Navy Intelligence who had served at the Office of Naval Intelligence [ONI] and who would directly on the heels of a Cambridge University sabbatical join the Intelligence agent saturated Esalen Institute’s ranks. Bishop Pike’s son Jim was a Haight-Ashbury hippie who ‘committed suicide’ during a bad LSD trip in a New York hotel room in 1966 A.D. Bishop Pike’s own efforts to contact his son in death via Ouija Board and with the assistance of assorted Spiritualist mediums [one of which séances was televised and viewed by millions of Americans in 1967 A.D. as conducted by Spiritualist medium Arthur Ford, a Spiritualist minister with the Disciples of Christ church whose most notable members have included Edgar Cayce, President Ronald Reagan, Jim Jones, President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) and John Muir] is the subject of his best-selling book The Other Side: An Account of My Experiences with Psychic Phenomena. In 1967 A.D. Esalen Institute would open a San Francisco branch in Esalen Institute seminarian/Spiritualist medium Bishop Pike’s own Episcopalian church [in Grace Cathedral where U.S. President George H.W. Bush’s greatgrandfather James Smith Bush had formerly served as a rector alongside an Episcopalian priest who had patented a method for making the film which would be used in Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope] located on Nob Hill [the California Masonic Memorial Temple (built in 1958 A.D. and whose 683

auditorium [the Nob Hill Masonic Center] “has hosted some of the world’s most famous performers and personalities” as well as numerous Star Trek© Conventions), is home to the San Francisco chapter of the Order of DeMolay, and is but a rolling stone’s throw away across the street from Grace Cathedral itself]. Bishop Pike would later die in a Judean desert in Israel under what can only be described as extremely dubious circumstances in 1969 A.D. nearly a month to the day of the Tate-LaBianca murders [murders allegedly committed at the instigation of Charles Manson who had Esalen Institute associations as well, some of whose murder victims were Esalen Institute attendees]. Bishop Pike, who had married a woman named Diane Kennedy, had previously worked as a lawyer with the SEC during Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.’s own tenure there. Both Bishop Pike [from 1966 – 1969 A.D.] and Linus Pauling [from 1963 – 1967 A.D.] were Fellows at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, an influential Ford Foundation think-tank located in Santa Barbara, CA (the Esalen Instituteassociated musician Ravi Shankar had Ford Foundation associations as well). The Esalen Institute. MKULTRA? Check, Check, and Check! Nothing, it must be noted, ever happens in a vacuum. It is interesting to note the Bohemian Club located at 624 Taylor Street there in San Francisco is but a few blocks away from Nob Hill (** One very important Israel Goldstein associate of note was Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member/prominent New York lawyer Samuel Untermyer [it was Samuel Untermyer (of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry) who served as the attorney in Herman Bernstein’s* lawsuit against Henry Ford for anti-Semitic articles including the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” which had been published in Henry Ford’s Dearborn Independent newspaper]; as investigative reporter Maury Terry informs us in his book The Ultimate Evil p.192: “…(Samuel) Untermyer (sometimes spelled Untermeyer) had belonged to the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn society—a nineteenthcentury British-based ritual-magic organization that had claimed infamous black-magician Aleister Crowley as a member.” It was at Untermeyer Park in Yonkers, N.Y., former site of Samuel Untermeyer’s estate where members of the ‘Son of Sam’ cult was known to hold its Satanic rituals]: “(Samuel) Untermyer was born in Lynchburg, Virginia on March 6, 1858 [d.1940 A.D.] to Isadore Untermyer and Therese Laudauer, both of whom were German Jews who emigrated to the United States from their native Bavaria (Think: Bavarian Illuminati). His father, who had been a lieutenant in the Confederate Army, died in 1866, soon after the close of the Civil War. The family then moved to New York (from 1924 A.D. onward Untermyer also retained a winter home in Palm Springs, CA called ‘The Willows,’ named after Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member Algernon Blackwood’s horror story by the same name, The Willows [1907 A.D.], which has, according to a National Park website: “…delighted many distinguished 684

visitors. Marion Davies, life-long companion of William Randolph Hearst,** made her home here. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard honeymooned here. Jimmy Walker, notorious Mayor of New York, hid out here. Shirley Temple played here. And, Albert Einstein actually slept here as the guest of his friend, (Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member) Samuel Untermyer.” Many Hollywood stars including Frank Sinatra also retained L.A.-getaway homes in upscale Palm Springs from the 1930s onward, and Palm Springs would serve as the winter writing headquarters for many East Coast writers and playwrights including Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, Kaufman being a member of the informal Algonquin Round Table group of literary and theatrical notables who frequented the Algonquin Hotel [to which hotel Gertrude Stein was herself a frequent visitor] in Manhattan which itself had neighbored upon both the Yale Club and Harvard Club of New York, private clubs who’s membership rolls were strictly restricted to Yale and Harvard attendees. George S. Kaufman had famously carried on an affair with Hollywood actress/Krotona resident Mary Astor, a later mistress of Hollywood Hellfire Club member/Algonquin Hotel patron John Barrymore. John Barrymore’s fellow Hollywood Hellfire Club-member John Carradine was himself a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge which had been founded by former Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley (**Newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst’s close friend, journalist Arthur Brisbane, was the son of Albert Brisbane [himself an associate of New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley, leader of the Carbonari’s Young America Youth Movement], founder of the North American Phalanx Utopian community, notable residents of which include Alexander Woollcott, journalist/member of the Algonquin Round Table. Woollcott was a friend of Harpo Marx and journalist Walter Duranty, Duranty being an associate of Aleister Crowley). Birds of an OTO feather so very often flock together)…Untermyer advocated the Zionist liberation movement and was President of the Keren Hayesod [aka United Israel Appeal established at the World Zionist Conference in London in 1920 A.D.], the agency through which the movement was then and still is conducted in America (note well United Israel Appeal’s association with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as it serves as the principal link between the American Jewish community and the Jewish residents of Israel, many of whom hold dual American/Israeli citizenship).” – Wikipedia: Samuel Untermyer. Samuel Untermyer, a political ally of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and supporter of FDR’s New Deal program, was also as we learn from the Smithsonian Institute website: “…known for corporate mergers and arranging financing for industries and real estate developments. His most famous merger was with Utah Copper Co. and the Nevada Consolidated Companies which created Bethlehem Steel” [located in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Bethlehem Steel, located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was at the 685

forefront of the construction of steel-hulled warships for the United States Navy] for which as previously noted FDR Jr., son of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and business partner to Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., served as an assistant general manager. As lead consel [including Congressional proceedings of the Pujo Committee investigations into the Wall Street bankers “money trust”], Untermyer would be involved in various proceedings which would lead to the creation of the the Federal Reserve Bank [another prime mover in these proceedings leading to the creation of the the Federal Reserve Bank being Senator Nelson W. Aldrich (the leader of the Carbonari’s Young Germany-created Republican Party in the Senate. Aldrich is descended from Massachusetts Bay Colony founder John Winthrop) whose son, Harvard/Yale-grad Richard S. Aldrich, a Republican U.S. Representative from RI, would marry John D. Rockefeller, Jr.’s only daughter Abby. Their son Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller would serve as Vice President under Republican U.S. President Gerald Ford [and had the OTOconnected Manson Family-member Squeaky Fromm’s assassination attempt been successful, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller would have become president. Recall the OTO had been founded by Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawnmember Aleister Crowley] having previously served in the administrations of Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower and as Governor of NewYork from 1959 to 1973 A.D.) as well as to the creation of the SEC [the Securities and Exchange Commission] — FDR would appoint Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. as first SEC Chairman [one prominent member of this inaugural SEC commission was William J. Casey (William J. Casey was a member of the Knights of Malta, aka the Knights Hospitalliers [as noted in Memoirs of the Secret Societies of the South of Italy, Particularly the Carbonari p.10, the latter-day Knights of Malta secret society (at time of writing then under the leadership of Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu, a former Illuminati partisan of the French Revolution) is a group in league with the Carbonari. For more information see The Masonic Magician: The Life and Death of Count Cagliostro and His Egyptian Rite, 2008 A.D.]) who would serve in the OSS as wartime Chief of Intelligence in London during WWII under William ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan (Donovan was a member of the Knights of Malta as well), and as SEC Chairman (1971 – 1973 A.D.) under U.S. President Richard Nixon and who would later serve as Director of Central Intelligence (CIA head, 1981 – 1987 A.D.) under U.S. President Ronald Reagan, overseeing the covert assistance to Afghanistan mujahadeen rebels (under Operation Cyclone) and was as well the architect of the events underlying the Iran-Contra scandal. Money for this covert operation was funneled through BCCI (a bank founded in 1972 A.D. which concurrently housed CIA, terrorist and Medellin drug cartel monies along with those funds belonging to a number of CIA-associated tyrants including Saddam Hussein and Manuel Noriega, Noriega being a product of the U.S.686

based U.S. Army School of the Americas, alma mater of many of history’s most notorious South American dictators all covertly trained in psychological warfare [formally known as ‘state terrorism’ and designed to cow the masses]. It is alleged the CIA was involved in drug trafficking operations for the Medellin Cartel in Mexico and with Manuel Noriega in Panama) which operated a branch on Sloane Street (named in honor of Hans Sloane who originally owned the surrounding area) in the Royal Burrough of Kensington and Chelsea in London]. Untermyer’s son Irwin Untermyer would serve as a Justice of the New York Supreme Court (along with Irving Lehman of the Lehman Bros. banking family. His brother Herbert H. Lehman, Assistant Secretary of the Navy under U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt during WWII [with whom he would retain a long lasting friendship], would serve as Governor and later Senator of New York state. Herbert H. Lehman is related to the Seligmans by marriage and had a working relationship with the Warburgs and Kuhn, Loeb and Co.) and Untermyer’s grandson, Samuel Untermyer II [1912 – 2001 A.D.], an MIT grad and Engineering Officer in the Navy during WWII, was a prominent nuclear engineer involved in the U.S. nuclear industry. Untermyer’s nephew, Laurence Adolph Steinhardt [1892-1950 A.D.] would serve as U.S. Ambassador [under presidential appointment by Franklin D. Roosevelt] to various nations including Canada. An individual named Louis Untermeyer [whose son John Moore Untermeyer was an MIT graduated physicist as well] would serve as Poet Laureate Consultant to the Library of Congress from 1961 – 1963 A.D. Harvard-grad Charles Graves "Chase" Untermeyer [a member of U.S. Navy Reserve (read: Naval Intelligence)] would aid George H.W. Bush in his 1966 A.D. congressional race [Charles Graves Untermeyer later serving as a Republican congressional Representative from Texas in 1976 A.D., as executive assistant to V.P. George H.W. Bush in 1980 A.D., as Assistant to the President in the White House/director of presidential personnel under the Reagan-Bush presidential administration, as President George H.W. Bush’s Assistant Secretary of the Navy, as chairman of the Texas State Board of Education under Republican Texas Governor George W. Bush and later after W’s own ascendence to the presidency, as President George W. Bush’s Ambassador to Qatar. Charles Untermeyer’s wife Diana Cumming Kendrick Untermeyer was a relative of various Booth family members [including Edwin Booth, brother of stage actor/Carbonari member/Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth]. Note the outsized influence the Theosophical Society and its magicpracticing inner circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [as well as the associated OTO magic group], has exerted upon America—one nation, under Satan, forever divided, with liberty and justice for no one! America itself has long been under Carbonari/Illuminati control) (* As a New York Times reporter, Herman Bernstein had interviewed many of the most eminent people of his time including George Bernard Shaw, Henri Bergson, Leon 687

Trotsky, Chaim Weizmann, Albert Einstein and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. The New York Times was owned by members of the Churchill family and had in fact employed a number of newsmen with ties to Aleister Crowley [additionally, according to an October 17, 1933 A.D. New York Times article, Samuel Untermyer was “head of the special reception committee” appointed by the Mayor of New York “to greet Professor Albert Einstein” upon his arrival in America. The two would become very good friends. Albert Einstein would work with OTO-member Jack Parsons at Caltech, Parsons being an associate of Untermeyer’s fellow Golden Dawnmember, Aleister Crowley]) “The Esalen Institute was founded in 1962 by two close friends, Michael Murphy and Richard Price. The story of their meeting, their friendship, and their founding of Esalen is inextricably bound up with the American Academy of Asian Studies (A.A.A.S.) and its leading faculty, Frederic Spiegelberg (a friend of both Alan Watts [Alan Watts was the featured teacher at the A.A.A.S.] and Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was the magic-practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society itself), Haridas Chaudhuri (his book Integral Yoga: The Concept of Harmonious and Creative Living [1965 A.D.] was published by The Theosophical Publishing House of the Theosophical Society located in Wheaton, Illinois, a testament to Chaudhuri’s own Theosophical Society association), and Alan Watts.” - Esalen and the American Academy of Asian Studies. That the A.A.A.S. had major Theosophical Society associations there can be no doubt, Alan Watt’s own connections with various Thesophical Society members in London notwithstanding, as we shall soon discover. Concerning the Esalen Institute and the American Academy of Asian Studies: “He (Gary Snyder) spent some months in 1955 and 1956 living in a cabin (the Perry house)…outside Mill Valley,** California with Jack Kerouac (**located to the north of San Francisco, Mill Valley is the site of the Mill Valley Air Force Station radar installation and home to the very devilish 666th Radar Squadron [known as SAGE, also a nod to the unit’s mystical associations]; it is also home to the Mountain Theater, a Civilian Conservation Corps/WPA New Deal project instituted by FDR). It was also at this time that Snyder was an occasional student at the American Academy of Asian Studies (later to become the California Institute of Integral Studies founded in 1968 A.D. and based in San Francisco, CA), where Saburo Hasegawa and Alan Watts, among others (including Sanskrit scholar Judith M. Tyberg [founder in 1953 A.D. of the Sri Aurobindo Center of Los Angeles which is located there in Culver City], author of The Language of the Gods. Tyberg was herself a disciple of Sri Aurobindo), were teaching.” – Wikipedia: Gary Snyder (“In 1949, San Francisco businessman Louis Gainsborough invited Professor Frederic Spiegelberg of Stanford University to start a graduate school in San 688

Francisco on Asian studies. Spiegelberg accepted and in turn invited to the faculty Alan Watts, whose writings helped bring Zen to the West; and Haridas Chaudhuri, an Indian philosophy professor who introduced the teachings of (the Spiritualist yogi) Sri Aurobindo to the West. Together they formed the American Academy of Asian Studies (AAAS) in 1951. Colloquia at AAAS attracted many of the leading figures (read: Beatnik poets) of the San Francisco Renaissance (a number of whom had links to Black Mountain College and the so-called Black Mountain poets; the San Francisco Renaissance is alternatively known as the Berkeley Renaissance) of the period and sparked wide interest in Asian art and spiritual practices, putting the Academy at the cutting-edge of Western absorption of the culture and spiritual practices of the East (in the words of Alan Watts himself: “The American Academy of Asian Studies was one of the principal roots of what later came to be known, in the early sixties, as the San Francisco Renaissance.”). Among the attendees were Michael Murphy and Dick Price, later co-founders of Esalen Institute; and poets Gary Snyder and Kenneth Rexroth (Rexroth had himself carried out a correspondence with Ezra Pound who was a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats), both of whom translated and were influenced by Asian literature (so it was the A.A.A.S. which gave birth to the Zen Buddhist Beatnik ethos as Watt’s students there included Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and Gary Snyder [See The Upstart Spring p.36] who would give birth to the Beat Scene incorporating Watt’s teachings within their writings and for which magic, witchcraft and drugs are often the central theme).” – Wikipedia: California Institute of Integral Studies (As we learn from Wikipedia: “Haridas Chaudhuri and Frederic Spiegelberg [Spiegelberg, a Stanford University professor in the Asian studies department, was a friend of Alan Watts and Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung as well as being a colleague/friend of both Harvard Divinity School theologian professor Paul Tillich (Harvard Divinity School in its very essence is a school of Cabala magic specializing in Spiritualism) and German existentialist philosopher Martin Heidegger (who was as well a member of the Nazi party)] were among those who were inspired by Sri Aurobindo, who worked on the newly formed American Academy of Asian Studies in San Francisco [where Allan Watts was the featured professor]. Soon after, Chaudhuri and his wife Bina established the Cultural Integration Fellowship [located opposite Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA], from which later emerged the California Institute of Integral Studies.”). It was Alan Watt’s student, Laurence Ferlinghetti’s City Lights Bookstore & Publishers (founded 1953 A.D.) located in San Francisco which acted as publisher for many Beat poet/authors. Next door to Ferlinghetti’s bookshop was located The Place*** which along with the Co-Existence Bagel Shop (where worked Eric “Big Daddy” Nord), the Caffe Trieste 689

coffeehouse, Vesuvio Café, the hungry i, and The Purple Onion nightclub [which launched the career of The Kingston Trio and where regularly performed Jean Varda’s friend Maya Angelou (Jean Varda’s Sausalito neighbor, Beat poet Gerd Stern’s live-in girlfriend for whom Stern would serve as manager) who would later become influential T.V. talk show host Oprah Winfrey’s close friend and mentor. Oprah Winfrey would later do much to promote the spiritualist New Age movement on her critically acclaimed Oprah Winfrey Show] was central to the North Beach-San Francisco Beat scene which group included all the Beat writers and poets as well as Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg (*** “…between 1955 and 1959, this presently dilapidated building was at the center of San Francisco’s Beat culture. That’s because this was the location of The Place, a bohemian bar managed by two recent Black Mountain College alumni, Knute Stiles and Leo Krekorian. In a 1986 interview published in North Beach Magazine, Krekorian, who became known as the “Grandfather of the Beats,” explained to writer Jack Lind some of what was special about The Place: “When Jack Kerouac wrote On the Road [published in 1957 A.D.] people started hitchhiking to San Francisco from all over the country, even from foreign countries, and their first stop was The Place… In the early 1960s the location was taken over by students from the San Francisco Art Institute [it was there at the San Francisco Art Institute that Jean Varda taught art classes from 1946 – 1954 A.D. fresh from a summer teaching stint at Black Mountain College in 1946 A.D. The San Francisco Art Institute, a school of the arts, was one of the institutions at the heart of the Beatnik movement (as a point of reference, the ceremonial magician Conrad Moricand who taught Jean Varda’s friend Henry Miller the magical arts during Miller’s stay in Paris was residing with Miller at this time from 1947 – 1949 A.D. [Henry Miller was a member of the Theosophical Society who had known Aleister Crowley during his stay in pre-WWII Paris] and the publication of Semina magazine [published from 1955 – 1964 A.D.] by the magic-practicing Kabalist Wallace Berman with contributions from his own Beatnik circle of friends including amongst which group was Henry Miller began around this time as well. In 1965 A.D., Wallace Berman would move to Topanga Canyon along with a number of his Beatnik friends including Robert Duncan whose life partner, former Manhattan Project scientist Jess Collins, was a student at the San Franciso Art Institute the subject of whose artistic themes were drawn mainly from alchemy and magic). Also associated with the San Francisco Art Institute was OSS MKULTRA researcher Gregory Bateson as well as no small number of Beatniks, artists, authors, poets, underground filmmakers, Grateful Dead band-members and Dave Getz, the drummer from Big Brother and the Holding Company], who set up a soup kitchen and showed movies [the Beat scene and the avante-garde filmmaking scene and the later Hippie movement were in fact intricately interconnected].” - Mark Schwartz & Art 690

Situated just down the street from the San Francisco Art Institute was the Coffee Gallery coffee house [aka The Lost and Found Salloon] located at 1353 Grant Ave. also in the North Beach area of San Francisco on whose stage has appeared Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlingetti, Richard Brautigan [Brautigan was a friend of Kenneth Anger], Beat poet Lenore Kandel’s husband William Fritsch, Lord Buckley, Taylor Mead [Mead appears in six of Andy Warhol’s underground films filmed between 1963 – 1968 A.D.], New School of Social Research attendee Bob Kaufman, Wallace Berman’s friend David Meltzer [who played there at the Coffee Gallery with a couple of musicians who would later form Big Brother and the Holding Company] and in 1963 A.D., Janis Joplin, future lead singer for Big Brother and the Holding Company. During the 1960s the Coffee Gallery would become a San Francisco folk music institution as well and was also the site of Bobby Beausoleil’s band The Orkustra’s debut performance [The Orkustra played regular gigs at the Coffee Gallery from September to October in 1966 A.D. These initial performances by Bobby Beausoleil’s band The Orkustra were followed up by The Orkustra’s Oct. 6, 1966 A.D. Love Pageant Rally performance where they performed alongside the bands Big Brother and the Holding Company and The Grateful Dead]) Also included amongst the teachers at the American Academy of Asian Studies (A.A.A.S.) was an individual named Rom Landau. In the words of A.A.A.S. attendee Murphy Price (co-founder of the Esalen Institute) himself: “Rom Landau, author of the book God Is My Adventure (1935 A.D.) about his meetings with Krishnamurti (when Rom Landau first met J. Krishnamurti, present was Theosophical Society president Annie Besant and British Labour Party leader/MP George Lansbury [See God Is My Adventure p.81; George Lansbury was grandfather of actress Angela Lansbury, wife of British born actor/producer Peter Shaw who later attained an executive position at the William Morris Agency talent agency [established 1898 A.D., the William Morris Agency was founded by William Morris whose associate Edward Aveling was a friend of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant; the William Morris Agency had many such ties to the British Labour Party/Theosophical Society] which represented such magically renowned stars as Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley (Elvis Presley in fact appeared with Angela Lansbury in the film Blue Hawaii [1961 A.D.]. Angela Lansbury’s daughter Didi Lansbury was famously enough a member along with Bobby Beausoleil of the murderous Manson Family), Frank Sinatra (Elvis Presley appeared with Frank Sinatra’s daughter Nancy Sinatra in the film Speedway [1968 A.D.]), Sammy Davis, Jr. (Elvis Presley was a good friend of Sammy Davis, Jr.), Marilyn Monroe (with whom Elvis Presley had had a one-night stand), Bugsy Siegel’s friend/Gone with the Wind star Clark Gable (Clark Gable, a Freemason, served under General ‘Hap’ Arnold making training films in the First Motion Peterson, The Semaphore #181, Fall 2007.

Picture Unit during WWII [See p.107 City of Nets] and was a lifelong friend of actor Lionel Barrymore, brother of Hollywood Hellfire Clubmember/actor John Barrymore [Lionel Barrymore would star in RKO’s 1946 A.D. supernatural Christmas classic It’s a Wonderful Life along with First Motion Picture Unit members Jimmy Stewart and Frank Albertson and produced by First Motion Picture Unit film producer Frank Capra]. Clark Gable appears with Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits [1961 A.D.; screenplay by Arthur Miller whose plays included The Crucible, a story concerning the Salem Witch Trials]), the De Brier magic-bunch member Steve McQueen and later, during the 1960s, enchanted bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys (note that so many of the names mentioned here had ties to the Church of Satan and the Church of Satan-associated Manson Family). George Lansbury had joined the Theosophical Society – Adyar in 1914 A.D.]. Rom Landau attended many of J. Krishnamurti’s lectures during Krishnamurti’s stay at Castle Eerde in Holland, Landau coming to know Krishnamurti’s handler Annie Besant quite well during his many visits there), (G.I.) Gurdjieff (a ceremonial magician under whom Rom Landau had personally studied for over two years [Ibid p.174] and with whom he “kept in close touch” many years after the parting of their ways, even visiting Gurdjieff “on many occasions” thereafter [Ibid p.175]; Rom Landau had also attended many of Gurjieff’s star student P.D. Ouspenky’s lectures as well [Ibid p.176]), and the poet-mystic Rudolph Steiner (Rom Landau had attended a number of Rudolph Steiner’s lectures at Steiner’s Goetheanum School of Spiritual Science** at Dornach in Switzerland which served as world center for Rudolph Steiner’s Anthroposophical Society [Ibid pp.6667], this being many years after Rudolph Steiner had received his OTO charter from Theodor Reuss in 1906 A.D.), would regale us with stories of this whole esoteric scene going back to about 1910. I used to go up to his apartment late at night and hear stories of Rudolph Steiner, Gurdjieff, Krishnamurti and all these people. He (Rom Landau) taught courses on Middle Eastern thought and philosophy (including Sufism, no doubt).” – Murphy Price. And according to the Preface to the First Edition of God Is My Adventure, we learn Rom Landau had also remained “in personal contact” with all of the aforementioned mystics for many years thereafter. And I would certainly be remiss had I not mentioned Rom Landau served in the British RAF during WWII from 1939-1941 A.D. following which appointment Landau served as a member of the Arab Committee of the Intelligence Department of the British Foreign Office (MI6) from 1941–1945 A.D. Rom Landau was a magic-practicing British spy and quite the adept magus at that. (** Psychology is a modern form of witchcraft which falls into the category of ‘spiritual science’: “…the generations to come will owe the fact that magnetism [hypnotism/hypnotic trance] and psychology have rediscovered the lost art of ancient magic, and transmuted the visionary stone 692

and elixir of mediaeval mystics into the pure gold of modern spiritual science… Magnetism [hypnotism/hypnotic trance] and Psychology are the only keys which ever did or ever will unlock the gates of the Spiritual Kingdom… Magnetism [hypnotic trance] is the pabulum by which spirits communicate, Psychology the influence. These are the secret virtues of Magic, Witchcraft and [Spiritual] Mediumship in every age…” - Art Magic) The successor organization to the A.A.A.S., the California Institute of Integral Studies, offered accreditation in Psychology, Anthropology and Philosophy/Religious Studies. In essence, it was a modern day school of magic in the ancient Eastern tradition. No doubt this tied in with MKULTRA as well. This is in fact evidenced in the person of the Gurdjieffinfluenced parapsychologist Charles Tart who was associated with the aforementioned California Institute of Integral Studies [as Visiting Professor], with the Institute of Noetic Sciences [as Senior Research Fellow], the Monroe Institute [emeritus member of the Monroe Institute board of advisors] and SRI International [as consultant on a government-funded parapsychological research project where he worked with Army Intelligence officer Andrija Puharich. And the beat goes on at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology [ITP] in that bastion of magic and Satanism, Palo Alto, CA [Palo Alto also being home to Gregory Bateson and Margaret Meade’s Mental Research Institute previously founded in 1958 A.D.], where Charles Tart circa 2005 A.D. served as Core Faculty Member [Charles Tart’s career provides a good road map of the evolution of the magic-based Human Potential movement, he being a major player therein]. According to its website: “ITP is one of the few accredited institutions in the world that offer a broad range of Masters and Ph.D. level courses in various fields related to Transpersonal Psychology. Sufism (the magic practices of Yezidi devil worshippers) is one such area of study.” Well of course it is—ITP’s spotlight is on the mystical teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff and on those teachings of his most famous student, P.D. Ouspensky. Another area of ITP’s Transpersonal Psychology studies is of course “Shamanism.” And I’d be surprised like heck if it wasn’t. ITP it would be safe to say is a modern school of magic and this with U.S. Intelligence associations). One 1970s Esalen Institute personality of note who was a colleague of the above-mentioned Charles Tart was Harvard-grad Arthur J. Deikman (Deikman had also spent a year in residency at Yale), a Mill Valley psychiatrist/Air Force vet who had studied Zen Buddhism under Zen master Suzuki Roshi (founder of the San Francisco Zen Center [founded 1962 A.D., it being a favorite haunt of San Francisco Beatniks—the Zen Center also owned and operated the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center/Tassajara Hot Springs on the Monterey Peninsula] who taught at the American Academy of Asian Studies [A.A.A.S.] along with Alan Watts and Rom Landau. Roshi would go on to found the Green Gulch Farm Zen Center in 1972 A.D. 693

specializing in biodynamic agricultural practices in association with Allan Chadwick, another former student of Rudolph Steiner [the very similar Spiritualist-based Lindisfarne Association with its Steiner-associated agricultural practices was also founded in this very same year]) and studied Sufism under Indries Shah as well (Indries Shah was Gerald B. Gardner’s own personal secretary) and had previously as he explained in a Marin County** Independent Journal interview entitled ‘Demystifying cults: Psychiatrist analyzes why people join groups’: “…participated in a government-funded study of LSD and mescaline in Menlo Park” during the 1960s, and this no doubt as part of an MKULTRA subproject in association with IFAS and/or Gregory Bateson. The separation of church and state in America apparently only applies to Christians. (**Marin County was home to the Druid Heights bohemian community founded in 1954 A.D. which was situated on the southwest flank of Mount Tamalpais [located near Mill Valley] there in Marin County, California, by Greenwich Village witch/lesbian Beat poet Elsa Gidlow, a ‘friend’ of British-born Irish poet Ella Young, a former employee of Aleister Crowley’s publisher friend Frank Harris [Ella Young was also a close friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats and of his mistress, Maude Gonne]. Druid Heights was a magically popular meeting place where: “Gidlow socialized with many famous artists, radical thinkers, mystics, and political activists at Druid Heights, including Ansel Adams [a friend of Halcyon-born Manhattan Project scientist Russell Varian (Halcyon was a commune founded by the magic-practicing Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society) and founder (1945 A.D.) of the first fine arts photography department at the San Francisco Art Institute; Ansel Adams had served during WWII in the Naval Aviation Photographic Unit then under the command of Rear Admiral John S. McCain, Sr., grandfather of U.S. Senator/ U.S. presidential candidate John McCain. Amongst Ansel Adam’s close friends and colleagues was fellow photographer Dody Weston Thompson, a Black Mountain College student (1941-43 A.D.) who would go on to serve in the Office of War Information (OWI) during the latter part of WWII], [Beat poet] Gary Snyder, [jazz musician] Dizzy Gillespie, [the Manson Family associated musician] Neil Young, Tom Robbins [Tom Robbins served as an Army Intelligence officer with the Army Air Force’s Strategic Air Command during the early 1950s and was a known associate of both Joseph Campbell and MKULTRA psychiatrist Timothy Leary (Tom Robbins [like Joseph Campbell] has even acknowledged using LSD in Timothy Leary’s presence) and was as well a good friend of psychonaut Terrence McKenna], and [feminist] Margo St. James [whose WHO feminist organization was founded on Alan Watts’ Sausalito houseboat (Sausolito being located near Druid Heights) in 1972 A.D. Margo St. James was married to San Francisco Chronicle police reporter Paul Avery (famous for his coverage of the ‘Zodiac’ murders), an 694

associate of former San Francisco Chronicle police reporter/Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey]… The community was a popular retreat and meeting place for three countercultural movements in the United States, including the Beat Generation of the 1950s, the hippie movement of the 1960s, and the women’s movement of the 1970s [aka the Goddess Movement** as many prominent members of the feminism movement were themselves Wicca witches as well].” – Wikipedia: Elsa Gidlow [**Pertinent Quote: “Wicca and Neopaganism, and to some extent the Goddess movement, were influenced by 19th-century occultism, such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn…” – Wikipedia: Goddess movement]. Known residents of Druid Heights include Beat poet Gary Snyder and and Gidlow’s own close friend, the King of Beats, Alan Watts [Alan Watts was Gary Snyder’s teacher at San Francisco’s American Academy of Asian Studies], and Kenneth Rexroth is also known to have held poetry readings here. Druid Heights was a product of the Beatnik era: “…in the mid-1950s, [Elsa] Gidlow was studying Chinese and calligraphy at San Francisco’s American Academy of Asian Studies [where Alan Watts was the featured instructor], a groundbreaking center of East-West exchange and a seedbed for the hybrid hippie forms of Zen, Taoism, and Hindu Vedanta to come. In the 1960s, the Beat poet and Zen practitioner Gary Snyder lived at the Heights with his Japanese wife Masa, while barefoot monks from the San Francisco Zen Center's nearby Green Gulch farms would occasionally tramp over for a visit.” – Druids and Ferries, Zen, Drugs, and Hot Tubs by Erik Davis. In fact: “They [Druid Height’s residents] used to host the most amazing parties after these bohemian [Beatnik] poetry readings in North Beach… Everybody would converge on the mountain and the stories are legendary: they were riding horses naked in the moonlight and playing music all night long… the jazz clubs would let out and Dizzie Gillespie and all kinds of fantastic musicians would continue the party up at Roger’s [at the home of Druid Height’s resident/Beat-era jazz musician Roger Somers who later appears in James Broughton’s 1968 A.D. film The Bed]… Ed Stiles, who is one of few remaining residents at Druid Heights, says [Alan] Watts could be found on the property carrying a large wizard-like staff in the woods [Alan Watts’ avante-guarde African tribal/Carribean voodoo beats album This Is It (1962 A.D.) was recorded here at Druid Heights and a number of Alan Watt’s own books are dedicated to residents of Druid Heights]… The Eagles, the Steve Miller Band and the Doobie Brothers all played at Druid Heights…” - Inside Druid Heights, a Marin County Counter-Culture Landmark by Judy Silber, KALW (Mount Tamalpais also played host to the KFRC’s Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival staged during the 1967 Summer of Love).

San Francisco State College-professor Stephen Gaskin is also known to have taught his classes for a time at Mount Tamalpais) (Marin County was home as well to George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch) 695

Interest in the occult had been set on low simmer ever since the death of Aleister Crowley. As occultist Francis King writing circa 1978 A.D. explains: “…the thirty years since Crowley’s death have witnessed a growing interest in magic in general and Crowley’s life and writings in particular. This interest began with the publication of John Symonds’ biography of Crowley in 1951... Crowley’s published writings, some of which had long been available at waste-paper prices, began to be seriously collected and individuals and small groups commenced to study and practice magick. Thus, throughout the 1950s, interest in Crowley continued to expand slowly, mainly amongst those who felt themselves at odds with western society and its ethical values. In the next decade this growth speeded up. Crowley’s philosophy and his recorded activities—not least his libertarian attitudes towards sex and the use of drugs—appealed to many of the ‘beats’ (the Beatniks), the ‘hippies,’ and the ‘flower children,’ who came to regard the ‘Great Beast’ (Aleister Crowley) as the prophet of their counter-culture, their irrationalist ways of looking at the world, and their rebellion against all the values their parents held sacred. Crowley’s long unavailable works began to be reprinted; tattered manuscripts were dug out of private collections and published for the first time; references to Crowley began to appear in science fiction and fantasy literature - in the pages of (Robert) Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land, for example. Even the Beatles fell under the charm of Crowley, putting his photograph as ‘one of the people we like’ on the cover of their LP record entitled Sergeant Pepper. Other rock musicians also admired Crowley: one of them (British occultist/Beatnik rocker Graham Bond [whose own solo albums include Holy Magick: We Put Our Magick on You (1970 A.D.) including such occult favorite hits as The Qabalistic Cross, The Pentagram Ritual, The Magician and I Put My Magick on You] of The Graham Bond Organisation, a number of whose band members would go on to form the British rock band Cream [whose album Disraeli Gears is named in honor of British P.M. Benjamin Disraeli, founder of the Carbonari’s Young England Youth Movement group] along with lead guitarist Eric Clapton), a now dead bandleader, claimed to be Crowley’s bastard son; while Jimmy Page, lead guitarist of the world-famous Led Zeppelin, bought Crowley’s old Scottish home and spent a considerable sum on its restoration… Dead, he has far more disciples than he ever did when alive, and it seems unlikely that we have heard the last of the Beast 666 (Aleister Crowley) and his followers.” – The Magical World of Aleister Crowley by Francis King. This is an understatement to say the least. The CIA-sponsored Esalen Institute would later even seek to use techniques gleaned from MKULTRA Subprojects to transform the corporate business world through mind-controlling employee training seminars using 696

deconstructed magic practices—magic minus the original mysticism. In a 1990 A.D. article in FORTUNE© Magazine we are asked: “Are American corporations ready for the New Age? Michael Murphy, founder of the Esalen Institute, thinks so. Next year Murphy, 60, hopes to start luring business groups to Esalen, the Big Sur spa where the human-potential movement was born nearly three decades ago. Laurence Rockefeller (a Buddhist as well as a Harvard Law School attendee) has given $250,000 to convert the Big House, the clifftop Victorian built by Murphy’s grandparents, into a corporate retreat (that the Rockefellers are part of the Illuminus Benjamin Franklin/Boston Brahmin faction apart from the Harvard association itself is exemplified in the person of Franklin relative Henry Clay Folger, president and chairman of Standard Oil of New York in which company the Rockefeller’s have long been majority shareholders (prior to working for the OSS, CIA head Allen Dulles served as business manager and lawyer to John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil and had personally brokered the partnership between Standard Oil and the I.G. Farben chemical corporation: “I.G.Farben not only produced gasoline [yes, gasoline production involves an alchemical operation] for the Nazi war machine, it manufactured ‘Zyklon B’ [used by the Nazi’s to gas millions of Jews], used slave labor before and during the war (including their huge petro-chemical factory adjacent to Auschwitz death camp), owned Bayer Pharmaceuticals which according to a…lawsuit was directly involved in [Nazi] Dr. Josef Mengele’s horrific Auschwitz experiments [conducted on Jewish inmates], and was spared from Allied bombings due to its Rockefeller [Standard Oil] interests.” – Movers and Shakers of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta); these facts also shed light on Manson Family murder victim Abigail Folger’s own Esalen Institute associations, and no doubt many Esalen attendees were from corporations run by officers with Harvard and Yale University ties. Laurence Rockefeller had also provided funding for former California Institute of Integral Studies visiting professor William Irwin Thompson’s Lindisfarne Association and professed an avid interest in UFOs even to the point of involving himself in various UFO disclosure projects)… Conferees will be able to select from a menu of…Esalen techniques” with the expressed intent of creating “a new paradigm…The new paradigm takes ideas from quantum physics, cybernetics (the creation of artificial life/artificial intelligence through the application of ‘magic,’ particularly as formulated by Raymond Lully, aka Doctor Illuminatus), chaos theory, cognitive science (code for employing mind-control and brainwashing techniques), and Eastern and Western spiritual (read: magic) traditions to form a world view in which everything is interconnected (that “we are,” to quote Esalen Institute seminar leader Alan Watts, “one being doing the same thing in as many different ways as possible.” This idea is based on the concept of the Greek philosopher Plato’s World Soul, the Anima Mundi, wherein all living things on the planet are believed to be intricately 697

interconnected), in which reality is not absolute but a byproduct of human consciousness (wholly brought about by the creative Will, a totally magical concept)... Charles Krone…has developed an elaborate training methodology (called ‘Krone sessions’) out of a melange of systems theory, socio-tech thinking, Sufi mysticism (essentially black magic as performed by Yezidi devil worshippers), and the writings of (the Sufi Shaman/ceremonial magician) G. I. Gurdjieff” which was most disastrously instituted by the management at Pacific Bell Telephone Co. which resulted in “employee allegations of mind control” from those who participated in these sessions and which later resulted in a “public investigation.” How magically delicious) (Pertinent U.N. Quote, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Article 18.1 [General Assembly resolution 2200A (XXI) of 16 December 1966 A.D.]: “Everyone shall have the right to freedom [read by definition: ‘the ability to exercise free will and make choices independently of any external determining force’] of thought, conscience and religion.” Such U.S. Intelligence agency promoted brainwashing/mindcontrol techniques are patently illegal and morally outrageous, as is the development and employment of ELF wave technologies) Another (al)chemist early involved in government-sanctioned LSD research (which as he will later explain was directly coordinated with the research being carried out by the Society for Psychical Research, the associated American version of which likewise conducted research as we have learned through the efforts of Theosophical Societymember/psychologist William James and his extensive entheogenic experimentations) and the human potential movement was a disciple of the Shaman/OSS Captain Al Hubbard named Willis Harman: “Willis Harman (August 16, 1918 – January 30, 1997) was an American engineer, social scientist, academic, futurist, writer, and visionary (read: a New World Order theorist). He is best remembered for his work with (the CIA-funded) SRI International, for being president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in (Palo Alto) California, and for his work in raising consciousness within the international business community (code for turning the international businesss community on to LSD)… Harman taught for several years at the University of Florida before joining the Stanford faculty in 1952 (the year MKULTRA was instituted). He eventually left Stanford to become a senior social scientist at (the CIA-associated) SRI International where he initiated a futures research program, exploring the national and global future. In this capacity he worked on long-term strategic planning and policy analysis for an assortment of corporations, government agencies, and international organizations (no doubt all CIA/NSA related). He then served as president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences from 1975 until his death in 1997. During the 1970s, he was appointed a regent of the University of California by then governor Jerry Brown.” – Wikipedia: Willis Harman. “The Institute of Noetic 698

Sciences (IONS) was co-founded in 1973 by former astronaut Edgar Mitchell (a proponent of the theory that the Earth is currently being visited by alien beings) and investor Paul N. Temple (a Harvard Law School graduate) to encourage and conduct research on human potentials. Institute programs include ‘extended human capacities,’ ‘integral health and healing,’ and ‘emerging worldviews.’ … This research includes topics such as spontaneous remission, meditation (yoga), consciousness, alternative healing practices (code for Shamanic healing practices), consciousness-based healthcare (such as faith healing), spirituality (read: Spiritualism), human potential, psychic abilities (such as thought transference and ESP) and survival of consciousness after bodily death (code for Spiritualist practices).” - Wikipedia: The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS was most famously involved in researching the extraordinary psychic abilities of the Isreali spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller who claimed to be in contact with extraterrestrial intelligences). This project simply represented a continuation/institutionalization of the well established Spiritualist Movement (particularly such promising aspects as had been studied in MKULTRA subprojects) and its associated magic practices and was directly related to the ongoing efforts of British and American incarnations of the Society for Psychical Research. As Willis Harman himself once explained during an interview: “I made one trip to Europe and got aquainted with The Society for Psychical Research (the SPR, the visit to which proved to be a life-changing experience for him) that was back in the days of Sir George Joy and Rosalyn Heywood (noted parapsychologists involved in psychical research). Celia Green (whose work at her Institute for the Study of Psychophysics at Cambridge University focused primarily on lucid dreaming, hallucinatory and out-of-body experiences [OBE]) was just a youngster coming in at that time. So in the next half dozen years or so I got somewhat involved in psychical research and somewhat involved in the psychedelic research (MKULTRA). That sort of blew up in a way in the 1960’s! So I shifted over to doing research on the future (as part of the Human Potential Movement).” Indeed, as we learn from Acid Dreams: “(Willis) Harman was turned on to LSD in the late 1950s by Captain Al Hubbard, the legendary superspy, who took a special interest in his new convert (they were in all actuality working together under MKULTRA auspices). Shortly thereafter Harmon became vice-president of the International Federation for Advanced Studies (IFAS), an organization devoted to exploring (as an MKULTRA subproject) the therapeutic and problem solving potential of LSD [For more information see LSD: The Problem-Solving Psychedelic, 1967 A.D., Forward by Dr. Humphrey Osmond]. IFAS was the brainchild of Hubbard… Adverse publicity forced IFAS to disband in 1965, whereupon Harmon, who considered himself a disciple of the Captain (Al Hubbard), became director of the Educational Policy Research Center at SRI (Stanford Research Institute) (in 1965 Harman headed up the Institute for Psychedelic Research** at San Francisco State University [which also hosted the San Francisco Poetry Center founded by Ruth Witt-Diamant, founder and first director of the SFSU Poetry Center in 1954 A.D. with which was associated a number of well known Beatnik poets. As we learn from Wikipedia: “She hosted many famous poets in her guest room when she owned the house at 1520 Willard Street. Among the writers who slept here were Anais Nin, W.H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, James Broughton, Robert Lowell, Stephen Spender and Theordore Roethke (a friend of Beat poet Gerd Stern), but probably the most famous was Dylan Thomas (Dylan Thomas’ good friend Victor Neuburg had been Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner), a good and close friend of hers…”] working under SF State’s Associated Professor of Psychology Robert E. Mogar [**members of whose advisory board and steering committee reads as a whos who of CIA psychedelic research including Humphrey Osmond, Frank Barron, Abraham Maslow, Sterling Bunnell and Bishop James A. Pike; many of these individuals were associated with the CIA-associated Esalen Institute and took an active part in IFAS LSD experimentations as well]). In October 699

1968 he invited Hubbard, then living in semiretirement in British Columbia, to join SRI as a part-time ‘special investigative agent.’” SRI was testing LSD as a possible agent for behavioral management, a study with which Charles Manson may himself have been involved. Willis Harmon was also associated with the Esalen Institute at this time [which in 1967 A.D. would open a San Francisco chapter] where he became involved in ‘Human Potential’ seminars and workshops. The Haight-Ashbury scene itself had at this point become a field test study for LSD as a tool for social control and behavioral modification.

What started Willis Harman along his illicit LSD pathway was a 1954 A.D. seminar he attended in Palo Alto called the Sequoia Seminar on LSD featuring the British Intelligence asset Gerald Heard as lecturer. Another man who attended a number of Gerald Heard’s seminars was a psychonaut named Myron Stolaroff: ““…in 1954 Gerald Heard gave a lecture in Palo Alto to an organization called the Sequoia Seminar. Sitting in the audience was an engineer named Myron Stolaroff. Stolaroff was in charge of long-range planning at Ampex [producer of the first commercially available tape recorders sold during the late 1940s employing technology based on captured Nazi/German sound recording technologies], which was one of the first of the high-technology companies (many of which were spinoffs/start-ups employing technologies first developed at CalTech) to emerge in the valleys south of San Francisco (later famously known as Silicon Valley). Stolaroff had heard Gerald (Heard) speak several times before and considered him one of the world’s outstanding mystics (“[Gerald] Heard…placed great stress on extrasensory perception [ESP] and other aspects of parapsychology, frequently citing parapsychological studies [conducted by the SPR] as evidence for his belief that consciousness, or the mind, had a reality of its own outside the body… Heard believed that people were still evolving, that the next stage of evolution lay in the development of human consciousness…” – pp.70,71 Saving the Earth by Gelber and Cook, 1990 A.D.). So when Heard began rhapsodizing about the effects of certain mind-altering drugs [such as mescaline and LSD], Stolaroff was predictably upset. "I thought you went to all these places anyway," he asked. "Why do you take this?" And Heard had replied, "Oh, but it just opens the doors in so many ways to so many vast dimensions." Whether he admitted it to himself or not, Myron Stolaroff was hooked, and a few months later, in Los Angeles on business, he visited Heard and had another long discussion about these new mind drugs. At one point (Al) Hubbard's name had come up, and Heard had implied that if Stolaroff wished to try any of these substances, Al (Hubbard) was the man to guide him through the experience (note this connection between British spy Gerald Heard and the American spy Al Hubbard). So Stolaroff had written Hubbard and one day Al had turned up on the doorstep, bounding into Myron's office with a tank of carbogen (“Carbogen, also called Meduna’s Mixture after its inventor Ladislas Meduna, is a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen gas… Carbogen was once used in psychology and psychedelic psychotherapy to determine how a patient would react to an altered state of consciousness… Meduna administered carbogen to his 700

patients to induce abreaction, which, with proper preparation and administration, he found could help clients become free of their neuroses. Carbogen users are said to have discovered unconscious contents of their mind, with the experience clearing away repressed material and freeing the subject for a smoother, more profound psychedelic experience.” – Wikipedia: Carbogen), a "fun-loving guy" who "radiated an enormous energy field." After the formal introductions were over, Hubbard had suggested that Stolaroff take a few lungfuls of the carbogen, and twenty or thirty breaths later the director of long-range planning was abreacting all over his office (Abreaction: to release unconscious psychological tension by talking about or reliving the events that caused it. Indeed: “Freud and the early psychoanalysts constantly strove towards abreaction — a discharge of disturbing emotions — as the pivot of the therapy. They believed that given adequate abreaction a "cure" would be imminent.” – p.118 An Interview with Israel Regardie). Stolaroff, who had been skeptical of a lot of Gerald’s claims, was convinced. He arranged to visit Vancouver at the earliest opportunity for one of Hubbard’s patented LSD (therapy) sessions—by 1959 Hubbard was claiming he had conducted seventeen hundred LSD (psychotherapy) sessions. It was a terrible experience. During those hours in Hubbard’s apartment, Stolaroff relived his birth, the actual physical birth, gasping and writhing for what felt like days, until he broke through to the world, which actually smelled of ether. Although it was a torturous few hours, Myron emerged from the LSD womb convinced that many of his personal eccentricities and neuroses could be traced back to the trauma of his birth (this theory and practice traces back to Church of Scientology-founder/Naval Intelligence officer L. Ron Hubbard. According to L. Ron Hubbard’s significant psychiatric work ‘Dianetics,’ also known as ‘the modern science of mental health,’ the trauma of birth produces what he identifies as a psychotic ‘norn,’ the earliest of a number of aberrations [called norns] to be cured on the road to good mental health which explains the importance placed on reliving one’s child birth during thereapeutic LSD psychotherapy sessions [See p.81 ‘Dianetics’ by L. Ron Hubbard in Astounding Science Fiction, Vol. 45, No. 3, May, 1950]. L. Ron Hubbard likely based his theory on the teachings of Otto Rank, for as we learn…). This was not a radical possibility as far as psychoanalysis was concerned; Otto Rank, one of Freud’s last disciples (and, quite interestingly enough, beginning in 1933 A.D., Otto Rank was Anais Nin’s personal psychiatrist with whom she had carried on a sexual affair and Anais Nin is known to have taken LSD under the guidance of Al Hubbard), had explored the effects of birth on the emerging psyche in numerous articles. But it would have taken psychoanalysis years to attain the level that LSD had reached in one climactic rush. Stolaroff returned to Ampex convinced that LSD "was the greatest discovery that man had ever made." Myron Stolaroff was a good 701

example. Stolaroff had been in charge of long-range planning at Ampex (Ampex developed video/audio tape technologies which revolutionized the television, movie and music industries), one of the first of the big electronics firms to settle south of the Bay Area (in Silicon Valley, when he had been bitten by the psychedelic bug. Together with (superspy Al) Hubbard he had tried to interest Ampex’s management in a program that would use LSD to solve all kinds of corporate problems, interpersonal problems, design problems, long-range planning problems (this Intelligence scheme would later re-rear its ugly head in the form of ex-Scientologist Erhard Warner’s est self-improvement system, Lifespring© and innumerable other New Age human potential/self-awareness proto-cult groups [most of which historically go on to achieve a greater cult-like status—and perhaps this is the preplanned ultimate mind-control goal] such as those to be proffered by the Esalen Institute). But the plan had foundered on Al’s penchant for Christian mysticism (as opposed to the West Coast’s flavor de jѐur, Eastern mysticism). Stolaroff didn’t let go, though: he started holding weekly LSD sessions for some of Ampex’s more adventurous engineers; (Al) Hubbard came down from Canada one weekend and took them all to a remote cabin in the Sierras where he guided them (during an LSD session) through the kind of ontological earthquake only Al could manufacture. The senior management of Ampex had been horrified. Having gotten to know Hubbard through rather extraordinary circumstances, it didn’t seem at all irrational for them to be worrying, "What if this nutball drives our best men crazy?" So there had been sighs of relief when Stolaroff decided to leave Ampex and set up his own nonprofit psychedelic research center in Menlo Park, California (coincidentally enough, or more likely incidentally enough, Ken Kesey was involved with MKULTRA LSD experimentations in Menlo Park; no doubt Stolaroff’s venture was CIA-funded under MKULTRA auspices)—the International Foundation for Advanced Study (the IFAS of which OSS Captain Al Hubbard’s CIA-associated friend Willis Harman was vicepresident, the LSD experimentations of which were clinically conducted during the 1960s. Al Hubbard was also associated with IFAS as it was he who reportedly supplied IFAS with LSD. IFAS also offered LSD therapy to paying clients).” The IFAS is not to be confused with the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, the academic home of Albert Einstein (academic home as well as for other prominent German-Jewish scholars who had likewise fled Nazi Germany with the aid of the Dullesassociated Rockefeller Foundation) with which T.S. Eliot and J. Robert Oppenheimer (Director, 1947-1966 A.D.) were also associated. Albert Einstein had also been a member since 1914 A.D. of that magical bastion of mathematics and philosophy originally known as the Prussian Academy of Sciences (later, the Germany Academy of Sciences Berlin), haunt of such philosophical Illuminus including Voltaire [Voltaire was a member of the 702

Loge des Neuf Sœurs, the same French Freemasonic lodge in which Benjamin Franklin was a member, which lodge had played a major role in the French Revolution] and the Spiritist trailblazer Immanuel Kant [whose teachings form the basis for Transcendentalism, the doctrine of the Unitarian church as taught at Havard Divinity School], as well as Über physicist Max Planck and (al)chemist Otto Hahn. You would certainly be forgiven if you did. Concerning the Palo Alto-based Sequoia Seminar: “Sequoia Seminar (which has been defined as a cult-like ‘proto-sect’ and this with a decidedly apocalyptic bent) was one of a stream of sources for what would become the "human potential" movement of the 1960s. Their stress of (Christian) religious values kept them from total involvement (as the Illuminati/Carbonari are in fact anti-Christian in nature), but for several years in the late 1950s they were the place where some of the California activists in the human potential movement got their start. One was Del Carlson. Carlson was a Marine Corps veteran who had been attracted to a Records study group at San Jose State College in 1947 (AMORC, that bastion of Christian Cabalism, is headquartered there in San Jose) and who had participated actively in Students Concerned (a ten-week seminar hosted by Dr. Harry Rathbun and his wife Emilia in the late 1940s). He stayed with the movement after the demise of Students Concerned and was, for a dozen years, one of the mainstays of the group. A high school art teacher, he had his summers free and devoted them to Sequoia Seminar. He was the group’s registrar, business manager, and leader of art therapy sessions until 1962, co-leader of the first formal seminar ever held at Esalen in 1962 (Del Carlson was a friend of Esalen Institute co-founder Michael Murphy), when it was still called Slate’s Hot Springs (at what was soon to become the Esalen Institute proper). Even more important, both to Sequoia Seminar and the human potential movement, was (CIA agent) Willis Harman. An engineering professor at Stanford (University), Harman had attended a study group led by Harry (Dr. Harry Rathbun of Stanford University) and then had gone to a Sequoia Seminar in 1954 (at which time Willis Harman attended the lecture given by British Intelligence agent Gerald Heard) (Dr. Harry Rathbun and his wife Emilia had as early as 1942 A.D. attended seminars on Eastern mysticism at Gerald Heard’s Trabuco College—previously however: “The Rathbuns had read some of Heard’s work and attended a lecture in San Francisco where they met him in 1937, the first year he was in this country.” Emilia had been a member of the international Oxford Group Movement [also known as ‘A First Century Christian Fellowship,’ it was, however, non-denominational embracing also Jews, Islamics, etc. Its founder had met with Indian independence leader/Sufi mystic Mahatmas Gandhi on numerous publicized occasions], later after 1938 A.D. called Moral Re-Armament [today known 703

as Initiatives of Change, a UNESCO NGO with Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations], one of the most famous members of which was the black magic adept Nazi SS General Heinrich Himmler; the leader of this Group [known as ‘Buchmanites,’ adhering to what was known as ‘Buchmanism’], Rev. Frank Buchman, had been one of Heinrich Himmler’s invited guests to Adolf Hitler’s Nuremberg Rally). He (Willis Harman) had not expected the heavy emphasis on meditation, introspection, and self-exposure, but he found that his engineer’s rational world view was ‘permanently destroyed’ as a result of his experience there. He embarked on an extended period of self-education in mysticism and psychic phenomena and moved into the inner circle of Sequoia Seminar. Harman had been very impressed by Gerald Heard’s lectures on his experience with mescaline; he also made contact with Myron Stolaroff (our old friend from Ampex who founded the International Foundation for Advanced Study in Menlo Park for which Willis Harman would serve as vice-president), one of the original American experimenters with LSD, who was also briefly involved with Sequoia Seminar (likely itself involved in one of the very numerous MKULTRA Subprojects taking place at this time). On November 16, 1956, eight of the Sequoia Seminar leadership group (the inner circle of Sequoia Seminar) accompanied Harman to the home of a physician member of the movement, where Harman took LSD for the first time. In subsequent years almost every member of the Sequoia Seminar inner leadership group experimented with LSD on a number of occasions. Many of the drug sessions were led by (the clinical psychologist) Betty Eisner** (Betty Eisner herself had also first met Gerald Heard at Trabuco College it should be noted) who was very interested in the psychotherapeutic possibilities of low (psycholitic) doses of the then legal hallucinogen. She and Harman disagreed strongly, however, on how the drug should be used since he preferred larger (psychedelic) doses that would provide the user with mystical experiences, rather than the milder effects that Eisner sought. Even though (insert disclaimer here) LSD was still a non-controlled substance and, therefore, legal to use, Sequoia Seminar employed it very cautiously. It was never distributed to anyone other than group leaders, and their sessions were carefully planned and supervised, usually with the presence of one of the planning group members who was a medical doctor. There appear to have been few if any ‘bad trips’ and the drug-induced mystical experiences and psychotherapeutic sessions are usually remembered positively by those who partook of them. Experimentation with LSD stopped after 1959 because most of those involved felt there was nothing more to be gained from continued use and perhaps also because of a difficult confrontation between Emilia and Betty Eisner that may have involved the use of the drug (or perhaps their study as well as their funding had come to an abrupt end). Those, like Harman, who wished to pursue further interests in the drug left Sequoia 704

Seminar and became active in other groups such as Esalen (the Esalen Institute was founded by CIA-psychiatrist/MKULTRA researcher Timothy Leary’s associates Murphy and Price; Alan Watts gave his first lecture at Esalen Institute in 1962 A.D.; the prominent Jewish Brandeis University humanist psychologist Abraham Maslow [a one-time APA president who developed Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs] joined Esalen in the very same year) and the International Foundation for Internal Freedom (CIA/MKULTRA experimenters Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert founded the International Foundation for Internal Freedom in 1962 A.D. in Cambridge, Massachusetts. IFIF published The Psychedelic Review [The very first issue of The Psychdelic Review (June 1963 Vol 1 No 1) contains articles written by Gerald Heard, Alan Watts, R. Gordon Wasson and Ralph Metzner, all individuals famous in the annals of psychedelic drug use, and details the history of ritual psychedelic drug use in pagan religions and in cultures around the world with Timothy Leary even noting: “These modern substances are but the synthetic (alchemical) equivalents of mind-changing plants and (magic) potions that have been known for thousands of years.”]).” – pp.83-85 Saving the Earth by Gelber and Cook, 1990 A.D. Sequoia Seminar is still in operation today at the Sequoia Retreat Center. (**** “Betty Grover Eisner, Ph.D. was a clinical psychologist who was part of the group of LSD researchers active in Los Angeles during the 1950s and 60s. According to Oscar Janiger, she participated in discussions about potential socially acceptable uses of LSD with a group including Aldous Huxley, Gerald Heard, Alan Watts, Anais Nin, and (Dr.) Sidney Cohen (author of The Beyond Within: The LSD Story [1964 A.D.], Cohen is known to have had been involved in MKULTRA experimentation at Veterans Administration Hospital in Los Angeles). Dr. Eisner worked with LSD, mescaline, amphetamine, ketamine, Ritalin, and carbogen with her patients, both in individual and group settings… She conducted important early research into the the use of LSD to treat alcoholism (it was Betty Eisner who had served as one of the therapists for Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, when he had ingested LSD as part of his LSD Therapy), notably with colleague Sidney Cohen. In 1959, Dr. Eisner participated in the 10th Josiah Macy Conference on LSD.” ** - The Sequoia Seminars: History. For more information see Betty Eisner’s book Remembrances of LSD Therapy Past [2002 A.D.]. As Eisner herself notes on p.108 therein: “The 1959 conference on ‘The Use of LSD in Psychotherapy’ of those of us working with LSD as a therapeutic aid (aka the 10th Josiah Macy Conference on LSD) took place under the auspices of the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation with financial aid from Sandoz, the manufacturer of LSD. There were twenty-six of us…(including CIA/MKULTRA psychiatrist Dr. Louis Jolyon ‘Dr. Jolly’ West and former OSS psychiatrist Gregory Bateson) who met at Princeton April 22, 23, 24, 1959.” Gregory Bateson had extensive Esalen Institute associations himself. (**Author’s Note: Bill Wilson, the Spiritualist founder of Alcoholics Anonymous was a famous member of Buchman’s Oxford Group Movement, members of which would later establish the Sequoia Seminar where Gerald Heard was known for giving lectures on the psychosomatic benefits of hallucinogenic experiences. It was in 1956 A.D. that Bill Wilson first took LSD under Gerald Heard’s guidance as a means for treating his alcoholism. Bill Wilson’s regular psychotherapist was the British psychiatrist Dr. Humphry Osmond [an associate of the OSS Captain Dr. Al Hubbard] who was a personal friend to Aldous Huxley. One may logically conclude all of these events took place under MKULTRA auspices)

The Esalen Institute also had close connections to Stanford 705

University:** “The (Human Potential) series of workshops (at the Esalen Institute) that Murphy and Price had put together (in the summer of 1962 A.D.)…was made up mostly of people who lived in the Stanford area and had some connections, close or remote, with the university. The first seminar…was led by Willis Harman, a Stanford professor (and MKULTRA researcher)…” – p.68 The Upstart Spring (**Pertinent Quote: “Much of the credit (or blame) for the birth of Esalen goes to Stanford.” – Ibid p.26. One must not overlook, however, Esalen’s extensive Harvard associations as well [Dick Price was himself a Harvard attendee], even to the point where Newsweek© magazine describes Esalen as ‘the Harvard of the Human Potential Movement’) (Esalen Institute additionally held poetry readings, concerts/musical events and theatrical productions in the lodge which also included a restaurant and lodging facilities for travelers. While Esalen Institute was accessable by private ‘appointment only’ to those individuals listed upon its own private mailing list, the compound itself certainly portrayed a separate outward public persona typical of a CIA ‘front’ organization) (It is quite possible [and highly likely] that Michael Murphy was himself involved in MKULTRA experimentation at its inception as he had served a stint in the Army as an Army psychologist beginning in 1952 A.D., the very year MKULTRA was initiated. Much of the MKULTRA documentation however has been systematically destroyed) The Human Potential Movement is based upon the magical premise that the individual Will (the human brain) is in itself all powerful. Human Potential is simply magic minus its traditionally associated props [such as the magic circle, magic knife and magic wand. As occultist Francis King had previously pointed out, these items were necessary only as a means to aid in the focus of a magician’s creative Will (Pertinent Quote: “The exercise of true magic does not require any ceremonies or conjurations, or the making of circles or signs; it requires neither benedictions nor maledictions in words, neither verbal blessings nor curses… True magic power consists in true faith… Faith is the cause of witchcraft and sorceries… the first necessary condition for the purpose of producing magic effects is the development of the will…” – The Life of Paracelsus by Franz Hartmann, 1886 A.D. [Compare to Matthew 17:20 and Luke 17:6]). The new focus was thusly placed on ‘mindmanifesting’/‘consciousness-expanding’ Shamanic entheogenic experiences in furtherance of the development of the all powerful human Will, a revolutionary modernization of ancient magic practices]. In the late 1950s Gerald Heard had also begun to deliver bi-weekly lectures at 33° Freemason/philosopher Manly P. Hall’s Philosophical Research Society [an organization dedicated to the study of comparative religions, mythologies, metaphysics, and the occult] in Los Angeles, CA, at all times touting the 706

advantages of hallucinogenic drug use. As is true with so many other American fads, from California LSD use went nationwide. The 1960s was an age of wide-spread social dishevelment. Cracks appeared. Established American norms (in particular the traditional family-unit and the Christian religious establishment) began to disassociate and crumble. Change was in the air, flowers in our hair. And the CIA was out of control: “The Watts (Acid) Test in L.A. (February 12, 1966 A.D., sponsored by MKULTRA test-subject/author Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters), coming on top of the Trips Festival (January 21—23, 1966 A.D.) in San Francisco (a mass acid experience/Acid Test party also sponsored by Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters; ‘trip’/’tripping’ refers to LSD/an LSD experience), had caused the fast-rising psychedelic thing to explode right out of the underground (where it had long been a part of the underground boho/Beatnik/Hippie lifestyle thanks to the CIA-associated Esalen Institute which itself had spawned the Hippie Movement) in a way nobody (with the possible exception of the CIA) had dreamed of. (Timothy) Leary and (Richard) Alpert (both overtly involved in covertly-funded CIA MKULTRA experimentations) and their experiments had had plenty of publicity, but that seemed (with an emphasis on ‘seemed’) like a fairly isolated thing with a couple of Harvard docs at the helm (of the Harvard Psychedelic Project) and being pretty solemn-faced and esoteric about it, all in all. This new San Francisco-L.A. LSD thing, with wacked-out kids and delirious rock 'n' roll, made it seem like the dread LSD had caught on like an infection among the youth—which, in fact, it had. Very few realized that it had all emanated from one electric source: (Ken) Kesey and the Merry Pranksters (under, I might add, MKULTRA auspices with LSD obtained from a high-ranking CIA Intelligence agent).” – The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test p.455-6. As MKULTRA researcher Michael Hollingshead who served as CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s assistant notes in his book The Man Who Turned on the World: “It is interesting to look back at some of the original members of the Harvard Psychedelic Project (including project leaders Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert), who were first introduced to LSD via the contents of the magic mayonnaise jar (in which was contained the LSD administered by Michael Hollingshead), and to note their successive and deepening involvement in the psychedelic movement, which was to spread from Harvard to all sections of our Western culture…” Michael Hollingshead was immersed in MKULTRA research alongside Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert at Harvard University’s Center for Research in Personality in what was known as the Harvard Psychedelic Project: “Along the crowded corridors of the Center walked Aldous and Laura Huxley, Arthur Koestler, William (S.) Burroughs, Charles Olson (Charles Olson served with the Office of War Information [OWI] Intelligence service during WWII and links to Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams), Allen 707

Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky (Orlovsky was Allen Ginsberg’s ‘life partner’), famous musicians (including Rolling Stones and Beatles bandmembers) and painters, ministers, cured dope addicts, New York hipsters, oriental religious leaders, rabbis and even a couple of Jesuits.” These individuals were all immersed in CIA-sponsored MKULTRA experimentation. At any rate, in the day of the Merry Prankster: “It was during this public prankish period (specifically in the period after the founding of the Church of Satan in San Francisco, CA [Kenneth Anger, a member of Rolling Stones’ entourage was present at this inaugurating ceremony] which has been described as “the ‘religion du jour’ of the celebrity set in the ’60s,” and the first Satanic wedding ceremony performed by Anton LaVey in 1966 A.D.) that Anton (LaVey) held his Topless Witches’ Review (a recurring performance act LaVey had organized called the ‘Witches’ Sabbat’ featuring dancers provided by the Gerard Theatrical Agency, a talent agency located at 8949 Sunset Boulevard [as a point of reference the Whisky a Go-Go night club where Charles Manson and various Manson Family-members including Tex Watson were regular patrons was located on the very same side of the very same street at 8901 Sunset Boulevard] which specialized in supplying topless go-go dancers to and I quote “seedy clubs” [including one may assume the Whisky a Go-Go which in fact included go-go dancers as part of its featured entertainments] and with which theatrical agency Mansonite Bobby Beausoleil** at one time held a songwriting contract; it was Beausoleil’s job at this agency to drive the girls to the clubs [a full-fledged pimping operation if I ever did see one]; Bobby Beausoleil was a close friend of Church of Satan-member/underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger [at one point in time the two of them even lived together in San Francisco] who himself was a close friend of Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey [even LaVey and Anger lived with each other for a time as well]. LaVey and Beausoleil also personally knew each other. A number of Manson Family members, including Susan Atkins, were employed by the Gerard Theatrical Agency as topless dancers [and, might I add, as prostitutes, a crime for which a number of them had been arrested. Some of them even appeared in underground pornographic films of the period]. Of an interesting note, Susan Atkins lived for a time in an artist’s community in Mendocino, CA, being part of a Manson-affiliated group identified in civil court records as ‘The Witches of Mendocino’ at which time they were prosecuted for supplying LSD to a minor. Mendocino is a popular weekend getaway spot for San Francisco Bay Area residents. As Charles Manson notes: “Communes and occult groups were not uncommon in the surrounding hills and beaches [in Mendocino County, CA], but there were also those who camouflaged themselves as artists or religious searchers, using their secluded retreats to grow pot or manufacture hallucinogenic drugs.” - p.102 Manson: In His Own Words by Nuel Emmons, 1986 A.D. (Mendocino County was the very witchy site 708

of the Greenfield Ranch [the Greenfield Ranch was the 1970s hippie communal home to American serial killer Leonard Lake, a diagnosed schizophrenic] which had been subdivided and occupied by a number of different communes including Coeden Brith [site of many a celebrated witch’s Sabbat] where was located occultist Oberon Zell-Ravenheart’s and Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart’s Church of All Worlds [incorporated as a church in 1967 A.D.], later located adjacent to Gwydion Pendderwen’s [pen name of occultist Thomas DeLong] Annwfn commune also dedicated to the practice of witchcraft and ceremonial magic. Mendocino County is also home to no less than three Buddhist communes including the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, site of the largest Buddhist temple in the Western hemisphere. Jim Jones’ People’s Temple congregation [a breakaway faction of the Disciples of Christ] was [before its move to Guyana] from 1965 – 1974 A.D. located in nearby Redwood Valley). The artist’s community with which convicted murderer Susan Atkins was associated it would seem was one which had been involved in the illicit manufacturing of hallucinogenic drugs [a quite common theme within our story] for it was an incident involving the distribution of LSD which had resulted in Susan Atkins’ civil court appearance) at a San Francisco nightspot in North Beach (North Beach was a low-rent Beatnik/Hippie haven. When rents began to rise, many residents, like The Grateful Dead band-members themselves relocated to Haight-Ashbury at a time when white flight to the suburbs became the order of the day. Among those who would gravitate to Haight-Ashbury was Mr. LSD himself, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, a major illicit hallucinogenic drug manufacturer and founder of The Grateful Dead band. His grandfather Senator Augustus Owsley Stanley [D-KY] famously led a congressional antitrust investigation against U.S. Steel, his great-grandfather being a Disciples of Christ minister who served on the staff of Confederate general Joseph E. Johnston). One of the girls he (Anton LaVey) hired to emerge menacingly from her coffin as a (topless) vampire was Susan Atkins (Manson Familymember Susan Atkins had more than just a passing association with Anton LaVey. Susan Atkins had been to Anton LaVey’s house [the so-called Black House located near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco] which served as the Church of Satan no small number of times. Jack Gerard, owner of the Gerard Theatrical Agency and his employee Bobby Beausoleil, it must be noted, had both starred in the mondo horrible 1967 A.D. ‘exploitation’ movie-release Mondo Hollywood [described by Vanity© Magazine as a “flippy, trippy psychedelic guide to Hollywood”] along with Manson Family murder victim Jay Sebring [who was also associated with if not a full-fledged member of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan; the entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. [whom fellow Church of Satan-member Michael A. Aquino in his book The Church of Satan refers to as a “Black Jewish Satanic Warlock,” Sammy being as Aquino explains, a full-fledged Church of Satan “priest.” It 709

was fellow Rat Pack-member Frank Sinatra, as Sammy himself explains in his book Hollywood in a Suitcase, who had first introduced him to Anton LaVey], a client of Jay Sebring’s and a Church of Satan member himself, described a ritualistic Satanic orgy led by Jay Sebring which he had attended as recorded in a Vice© Magazine interview/article entitled: Sammy Devil, Jr.: The Candy Man Was A Satanist by Jake Austen. The Anton LaVeyassociated Paulekas brothers and their friend Lewis Beech Marvin III also appear in this movie along with Frank Zappa’s future wife Gail, a Whisky a Go-Go employee. Musician/LSD enthusiast Bobby Jameson, a close friend of various members of Neil Young’s back-up band Crazyhorse, a guitarist who has recorded or appeared with Frank Zappa, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones and Jimmy Page, is also featured in this film). As we learn from Turn Off Your Mind p.256, had it not been for the fact Sammy Davis, Jr. had been out of town at the time of the Manson Family murders: “…he probably would have been at 10050 Cielo Drive, indulging in psychedelics with the rest. ‘Everyone there,’ he said, had at one time or another been into Satanism (and who like Sammy, no doubt, had Church of Satan associations)…” Interestingly enough, the last film in which Manson Family murder victim Sharon Tate was to appear before her untimely death at the hands of Manson Family-members was The Wrecking Crew (1968 A.D.) starring Sammy Davis, Jr.’s fellow Rat Pack member Dean Martin (Dean Martin plays a spy in this film; this movie marks Chuck Norris’ film acting debut, though Chuck Norris had appeared previously in a non-speaking role in the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts film The Green Berets [1968 A.D.] starring John Wayne. Sharon Tate also appears with Rat Pack-member Joey Bishop in the 1967 A.D. film The Valley of the Dolls directed by former RKO film director Mark Robson***** [Joey Bishop also appears in the 1967 A.D. film A Guide for the Married Man (directed by Pal Joey star Gene Kelly) with Church of Satan high-priestess Jane Mansfield (she would die an untimely death in a car crash) who is known to have carried out affairs with both President John F. Kennedy and Sharon Tate’s friend, Senator Robert F. Kennedy]). And as Ed Sanders reveals in The Process: “(Charles) Manson…once gave Dean Martin’s daughter a ring at Dennis Wilson’s beachhouse.” All of these individuals were in fact one big happy extended OTO/Church of Satan Family] who was later murdered by the Manson Family of which Church of Satan attendees Bobby Beausoleil and Susan Atkins were prominent members (as Anton LaVey himself once explained during an interview, LaVey’s: “…open seminars [held at the Black House which served as both his residence and the Church of Satan] facilitated the meeting of [OTO/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger’s friend] Bobby [Beausoleil] and Susan Atkins” [See p.66 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley]). The film Mondo Hollywood also featured appearances by MKULTRA researcher Dr. Richard Alpert directing one of his infamous 710

psychedelic LSD ‘group therapy’ sessions, and Anton LaVey’s associate Vito Paulekas, a staple of the Whisky a Go-Go, appears in this film as well). Atkins was not yet involved with Charles Manson and it would be two years until she committed the murders in Sharon Tate’s Benedict Canyon home (in 1969 A.D.), licking the blood from her fingers after the deed. But in her post-conversion expose, Child of Satan, Child of God, Atkins indicts LaVey as the catalyst for her downfall. Anton remembers her as just another Haight Street burnout, perhaps a bit more drugbefuddled than some. ‘She’d beg off rehearsals, saying she had a fever of 108° (at which temperature the brain begins to boil, thusly producing brain damage). But in the end she made a fine vampire.’” (And there is no doubt she learned how to be a vampire under the tutelage of Anton LaVey. LaVey refers of course not to Susan’s topless vampiric go-go dancing performances in his publicly staged witch’s sabbats with which she had been involved (See Child of Satan, Child of God p.66; Atkins first met Anton LaVey in 1967 A.D.), but to Susan Atkins’ confession of tasting Sharon Tate’s blood at the time of Sharon Tate’s murder.*** In black magic, it is believed that by drinking the blood of one’s murder victims one thereby receives one’s victims’ vitality; if said victim is a fellow practitioner of magic, one was in such a way it was said able to steal their magic powers. Sharon Tate, like Susan Atkins, was also an initiated witch, a fellow practitioner of magic. No doubt she had learned this from the lectures of Anton LaVey who had often lectured on the subject of vampires and vampirism) – The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey (Anton LaVey’s family, like that of artist Andy Warhol’s, hailed in fact from the very vampiric and gypsie populated region known as Transylvania. As the old proverbial staffrhyme reveals: “Wherever gypsies go, there the witches are, we know.” – p.2 Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune Telling by Charles G. Leland. In both cases this was in fact a truism) (**Pertinent Quote: “One Crowley devotee…was [Thelemite; OTO member; Church of Satan attendee] Robert K. ‘Bobby’ Beausoleil, lead guitar and sitar player for the San Francisco rock band ‘Magic Powerhouse of Oz’…assembled by avant-garde filmmaker and fellow Crowleyite [Thelemite; OTO member; Church of Satan attendee] Kenneth Anger, to provide the soundtrack for Anger’s film project, ‘Lucifer Rising’ which involved Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page.” – Blood on the Altar by Craig Heimbichner. In all probability, Charles Manson was such a Thelemite in his group as well. Significantly enough, as a testament to the interrelatedness of the inviduals so involved, Vito Paulekas’ five year old son Godot had been slated by Kenneth Anger to play the starring role of ‘Lucifer’ in Kenneth Anger’s film Lucifer Rising prior to Godot’s untimely death the result of a fall through an open skylight [See p.140 Anger by Bill Landis]. What Godot was doing on the roof is anybody’s conjecture although one common theme one will find in Satanic lore is the cold blooded killing of a first-born son). (***There was a direct connection between Charles Manson and Anton LaVey and The Church of Satan as well. In an Argosy© Magazine interview conducted during the filming of The Devil’s Rain in 1975 A.D. Anton LaVey himself intimates that “Charles Manson came to one ceremony and never returned.” - The Satanist Who Wants to Rule the World, Argosy© Magazine June 1975, thusly documenting a direct link between the two) (***** Mark Robson directed a number of films in which appeared various Rat Pack members including The Harder They Fall [1956 A.D.] with Humphrey Bogart and Von Ryan’s Express [1965 A.D.] with Frank Sinatra and as well as the Pandro S. Berman-produced film The Prize [1963 A.D.] 711

produced by Wallace Berman’s father, as well as Peyton Place [1957 A.D.] with Russ Tamblyn. Mark Robson also directed a number of films in which appear former members of General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit including actor William Holden [who would serve as best man at the wedding of Ronald and Nancy Reagan in 1952 A.D.; it was Ronald Reagan who as governor of California would personally appoint the judge overseeing the Manson trial] in The Bridges of Toko-Ri [1955 A.D.]. He also directed a few films starring Group Theater-member Arthur Kennedy)

Susan Atkins had found herself unfortunately enough right smack dab in the middle of the Intelligence-inspired North Beach/Haight-Ashbury hippie commune LSD magic scene. This scene included not only Anton LaVey but also later Charlie Manson himself. According to Susan Atkins, Charles Manson was the leader of “an ordinary hippie commune (a “‘brotherhood’ as he used to put it,” typical Theosophical Society lingo), preaching love and music and drugs (drugs including peyote and LSD, shades of Leary, Kesey, Alpert, Crowley and MKULTRA)…In 1967 (note that Atkins had in fact known Manson as early as 1967 A.D., the same year she had met Anton LaVey), Charles Manson could talk new-age religion (code for the teachings of the Theosophical Society). Charles Manson could talk old religion (code for magic and witchcraft). Charles Manson knew eastern religious thought (code for Buddhism). Charles Manson had the vision and intensity necessary to hold the attention of young minds. He understood psychology (he having had been treated by a number of psychologists). He understood nihilism (the revolutionary philosophy of the Youth Movement/Anarchists also propounded in the teachings of the Church of Satan). He gave the appearance of having forsaken his worldly possessions and dropped out of the rat-race…playing the part of the pacifist hippie guru…” - The Myth of ‘Helter Skelter’. As Susan Atkins herself elucidates: “Charles Manson had everything. At one time he had almost thirty young girls taking care of him. He hob-nobbed with the Beach Boys and attended Hollywood parties with musicians and movie stars. He lived for free off the generosity of soft-hearted people who believed in him—like Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys—and off the hard work of the young girls who took him in. He never once had a job in the three years he was out of jail. Free drugs. Free sex. Famous people around him. He lived a dream life. He was offered everything America could offer a single man in the late 1960’s. And he had it in the most hedonistic city in the country – Los Angeles.” And the world gets smaller and smaller. (Author’s Note: There are those who believe that the Manson murders in California and the David Berkowitz “Son of Sam” murders in New York were ultimately related as part of a nationwide network in the United States of Satanic magic-practicing cults and that it reaches even into the upper echelons of society (though I would very much say it is in truth international in scope). Indeed: “Maury Terry is an award-winning investigative journalist whose years of research resulted in The Ultimate Evil: An Investigation of American’s Most 712

Dangerous Satanic Cult, which linked Manson and ‘Son of Sam’ killer Berkowitz to a satanic networking (of The Process Church of the Final Judgment, also known as The Process, a group with which Manson was associated, members of which came to visit Charles Manson in prison; in Haight-Ashbury, Manson’s crash pad at 636 Cole [as a point of reference the Straight Theater was located at Haight Street and Cole] was a mere two blocks away from the original San Francisco home of The Process Church of the Final Judgment which was located at 407 Cole and boasted Rolling Stones band-members as initiates. While The Process [founded by exScientologists] possibly derives its name from the Church of Scientology’s system of auditing which L. Ron Hubbard called ‘the process,’ or from the mystical paralyzing psychosomatic out-of-body experiences experienced by J. Krishnamurti which he had similarly dubbed ‘The Process,’ a state of mind which he took to be “a sign of his advancement on the occult path” [See p.85 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman], or from process philosophy or even process theology, what I personally believe to be the true importance of this term “the process” in this case is rooted in Disunionism, a long-term conspiracy wrought by treasonous elements seeking America’s final disunion. As the Unitarian minister and Ralph Waldo Emerson associate: “Thomas Wentworth Higginson told his Disunion Convention on the eve of the American Civil War: ‘But give me a convention of ten men who have drawn the sword for the right, and thrown away the scabbard and I will revolutionize the world. You say, we are ''traitors,'' "fanatics." That is what we came here to be. That is a clear compliment… No, sir! Disunion is not a desire, merely; it is a destiny… It is in vain to talk of difficulties in effecting the process… If we cannot bring it about peaceably, it will come forcibly…’” - p.231 Treason in America. Disunion of these United States of America and its return to the British fold has long been a goal of British Intelligence ever since the armistice which ended the American Revolution resulting in American independence. In fact, the forces involved in fomenting this nation’s Civil War would 100 years later return to foment an insurrection of its own, and this during the revolutionary 1960s [which included Boston Brahmins and the Dulles family (Ibid pp.233-4) working in collusion with Britain’s MI6]. This is nothing new under our American sun. The Dulles family itself is descended from a British East India Company soldier of fortune named William Dulles who would later become a seditious South Carolina plantation owner/slave-holder [See Treason in America p.527]. South Carolina it must be noted was the first state to secede from the Union in 1860 A.D. and it was the bombardment of Fort Sumter in South Carolina’s Charleston Harbor in April of the following year which inaugurated Civil War hostilities and this following in the shadow of Conderate General Albert Pike’s own ascension to the leadership of Charleston’s Freemasonic Grand Council in the late 1850s). 713

As we learn from Satanism and Witchcraft: ‘Satanic cults are presently flourishing in possibly every major city in the United States and Europe... The United States probably harbors the fastest growing and most highly-organized body of Satanists in the world.’” - Satanism and Witchcraft by Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. John Weldon. Many are offshoots of Anton LaVey’s original Church of Satan. Temple of Set-founder Michael A. Aquino (a Church of Satan-member who served as Anton LaVey’s assistant) in his book The Church of Satan cites the example of Tom Creech who was a regular attendee of Church of Satan Black Masses presided over by high-priest Anton LaVey. Tom Creech, yet another convicted murderer associated with the Church of Satan, claims he had been ordered to kill as part of a Satanic sacrifice. This seems in fact to have been the iniquitous order of the day. For more information see also Jerry Johnston’s The Edge of Evil: The Rise of Satanism in North America (1989 A.D.); Mark I. Bubeck, The Satanic Revival (1991 A.D.); Ted Schwarz and Duane Empey, Satanism (Zondervan, 1989 A.D.); Arthur Lyons, Satan Wants You: The Cult of Devil Worship in America (1988 A.D.); and Bob Larson’s Satanism (1989 A.D.) (Notable Quote: “I’m convinced that our own nation is rapidly undergoing demonization.” — The Satanic Revival by Mark I. Bubeck, 1991 A.D. I’d have to say he’s probably right, and that it’s being covertly perpetrated by the international Intelligence community—and that statement was uttered over twenty years back in the pre-Harry Potter© day. A short note concerning the British Harry Potter** creator J. K. Rowling [** which series espouses the Wicca witchcraft religion]; Rowling is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, an honor she has shared with such Illustrius magical notables as Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats and George Bernard Shaw. A descendent of occultist Edward BulwerLytton had even served as president of the Royal Society of Literature from 1946-1947 A.D. It’s magic you know—never believe it’s not so. That is of course a famous line from Pilot’s 1974 A.D. song Magic produced by Alan Parsons [of The Alan Parsons Project], famous for his musical collaborations with The Beatles [beginning in 1967 he worked at Abbey Road Studios as an assistant engineer] and Pink Floyd [for which he received his first Grammy Award nomination]. Any relations to Jack Parsons?).

Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey, whose parents had relocated to California from the gangster plagued streets of Chicago, himself has led an event-filled colorful life (as noted in LaVey’s autobiography, one of LaVey’s uncle’s Las Vegas ‘business’ associates was Mafia mobster Bugsy Siegel) (Author’s Note: These were the days when the United States government had formed a secret partnership with a secret society commonly known as the Mafia [founded of course in the 1800s by that denizen of the British Museum Reading Room, Carbonari revolutionary Giuseppe Mazzini] in order to carry out the CIA’s Executive Action program designed to root out unfriendly foreign [and quite possibly it would seem domestic] governmental leaders such as Communist dictator Fidel Castro [See ‘Operation Mongoose’] during the frigid days of the Cold War). As we learn from Anton LaVey’s biography: “Through friends, he (Anton LaVey) became involved with militant Israeli groups, some of which were running guns to the newly emerged nation (of Israel) – organizations with names like Betar (the Betar Movement was a Youth Movement organization established in Latvia by Ze’ev Jabotinski in the finest Freemasonic tradition of Giuseppe Mazzini), Hashomer Hatzair (an Austro-Hungary Zionist Youth Movement group also established by Ze’ev Jabotinski. Ze’ev, aka Vladimir Jabotinski, was a Russian-Jewish Bolshevik who moved to Turkey in 1908 A.D. where he edited a newspaper named Young Turk, the propaganda mouthpiece of the Young Turks Youth Movement group. It was a member of the Young Turks who would assassinate the heir to the Austrian throne, the Archduke Ferdinand, this being the catalyst cited in primary school American history books as sparking World War I, leading to the carefully orchestrated defeat of the declining Ottoman Empire, an event which gave birth to the British Mandate of Palestine, to the issuance of the Balfour Declaration, the institution of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine and eventually to the creation of the nation state of Israel), Poale Zion (the Jewish Social Democratic Labour Party), the Stern Gang (led by Yitzhak Shamir who became Prime Minister of Israel in 1983 A.D.), and Irgun” (Irgun [led by Menacham Began] would morph into Likud, the political party of current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Irgun members were incorporated into the Israel Defense Forces [IDF] at the start of the 1948 A.D. Arab-Israeli War which led to Israeli independence and statehood),** at one point meeting, presumably during the course of these gunrunning activities of which LaVey himself describes, “Asaf Dayan, (Hollywood) actor son of Israel’s legendary Defense Minister Moshe Dayan (primarily serving under former Haganah high commander/Israeli P.M. Levi Eshkol)” who “extended an invitation for me (Anton LaVey) to stay at his family home in Tel Aviv whenever I wished.” Of an interesting note, French film maker Roman Polanski’s friend and fellow film director Arnon Milchan (whose film production company 715

Regency Enterprises was 50% owned by Warner Bros.©) was an Israeli spy/arms smuggler recruited by Haganah agent Shimon Peres. Amongst the defense related procurements of Arnon Milchan was the technology necessary for the creation of Israeli nuclear armaments through Israel’s Bureau of Scientific Relations. In 1986 A.D. U.S. Navy Intelligence officer Johnathon Pollard would be arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for his role in providing nuclear secrets to the Israelis. Arnon Milchan worked in this regard as a spy under Israeli spymaster/fellow London School of Economics-attendee Rafi Eitan [See Milchan’s book Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon; likely his friend Roman Polanski, husband of murdered starlet Sharon Tate, was himself a French agent as the French were major Israeli arms suppliers during the 1950s A.D. It is not uncommon to find arms dealers/smugglers working under cover of the film industry within our sordid little story], the later Israeli Prime Minister then responsible for Haganah arms purchases [Shimon Peres is a first cousin to Warner Bros.© contract actress Lauren Bacall, wife (from 1945 until his death in 1957 A.D.) of Warner Bros.© contract actor Humphrey Bogart (Humphrey Bogart appears in a number of John Hustondirected films with both John Huston and his father Walter Huston and in the Nicholas Ray-directed film In a Lonely Place [1950 A.D.]. Like Anton LaVey, Nicholas Ray also ties to the Samson De Brier magic goup). Humphrey Bogart was a friend of Rat Pack members Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, known Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis Jr., the Kennedy brother-in-law Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Bogart was a founding member and the original leader, until his death, of the Rat Pack. In the spring of 1955, after a long party in Las Vegas with Frank Sinatra (Frank Sinatra like his friend Anton LaVey was also [as detailed below] involved in Israeli gun-running activities), Judy Garland, her husband Sid Luft, Mike Romanoff and wife Gloria, (British Intelligence agent/actor) David Niven, Angie Dickinson and others, Lauren Bacall surveyed the wreckage of the party and declared, ‘You look like a goddamn rat pack.’” (See p.504 Bogart by Sperman and Lax). Humphrey Bogart’s mother, the Rochester, N.Y.-born commercial illustrator Maud Humphrey (whose own mother’s maiden name was Frances V. Dewey Churchill), had studied art under artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler whose own notable friends included Oscar Wilde whose wife is known to have been a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]. Haganah was the forerunner of the Israel Defense Forces [IDF]. Roman Polanski’s wife Sharon Tate, the daughter of an Army Intelligence officer, would be murdered by known Church of Satan attendees [a church attended by various members of American Army Intelligence and headed up by a professed Israeli/international arms smuggler whose own number two man was a high ranking Army Intelligence officer as well. Even Church of Satan-member 716

Kenneth Anger’s former neighbor Jack Parsons (who like Anton LaVey and Kenneth Anger was a Samson De Brier magic salon attendee. We may add Henry Miller’s friend Anais Nin to this list as well, as author Henry Miller, as the reader shall soon discover, was directly involved in providing weapons to the Israelis as well) had been accused of passing top secret documents to the Israelis]. Methinks the madame Tate knew too much concerning covert Israeli arms smuggling/spying activities and needed to be silenced. This is what Charles Manson meant when he explained concerning the Manson Family murders: “Manson himself has alleged that the ‘true’ motive remains secret, that a major scandal would erupt if it was revealed.” Perhaps this scandal involves Israeli gun-running/spying activities. That the star players within our drama were involved in Israeli gunrunning/spying activities there is no doubt. From a JTA© article entitled ‘Sinatra reportedly helped run guns to Israel’ (February 14, 2008): “Frank Sinatra reportedly played a role in smuggling guns to Israel in 1948. Brian Greenspun, a son of Hank Greenspun, the Las Vegas media and real estate magnate who helped lead the gun smuggling effort (Hank Greenspun was leader of the West Coast effort to arm various Israeli independence groups including Haganah typically by shipping weapons to Israel via Mexico and Nicaragua [In Nicaragua these efforts were facilitated by the Americaneducated dictator Anastazio Somoza (Somoza received his American education at Peirce College in Philadelphia, PA, Simon Guggenheim’s alma mater. Simon Gugenheim was the brother of Daniel Guggenheim, founder of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics which provided the grant which allowed for the creation of the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at CalTech [GALCIT] which was headed by Theodore von Kármán. It was under GALCIT’s JATO [Jet-Assisted TakeOff] program that the Jet Propulsion Laboratory [which employed Jack Parsons] was established under contract with the United States Army in 1943 A.D.). See ARMING DAVID: THE HAGANAH’S ILLEGAL ARMS PROCUREMENT NETWORK IN THE UNITED STATES, 1945–49 by Ricky-Dale Calhoun]. Many of the individuals at the heart of this illegal weapons procurement operation [which appears to have been CIA-sanctioned through Kuhn, Loeb and Co.] had known Daniel Guggenheim’s niece Peggy Guggenheim from their time in France [which itself appears to have largely represented an early pre-CIA U.S. Intelligence network]), related the account Wednesday night to a Washington fund-raising dinner for Israel’s Rabin Center, an institute that promotes democracy and pluralism.” In fact, Hank Greenspun: “During World War II, while stationed in Northern Ireland, Greenspun met his wife, Barbara, at a dinner party hosted by Maureen Black (née Peres) daughter of (the legendary music producer and record distributor) Harold Peres of Solomon and Peres (a UK and Ireland-based company which was later acquired by, you guessed it, Decca Records) and 717

wife of British businessman, Roy Keith Black. As a young man, Greenspun became closely involved with Benjamin ‘Bugsy’ Siegel (a business associate of Anton LaVey’s Mafia associated uncle) and the work he was doing to reopen his Flamingo casino (along with Jewish Mafia member Mickey Cohen). Greenspun worked as the Flamingo’s publicity agent. Following the murder of Siegel in Los Angeles in 1947, Greenspun renewed his interest in his Jewish heritage and became a prominent figure in supporting the struggle to establish the State of Israel. In 1947, when the Haganah was already in armed conflict with Arab forces, Greenspun shipped machine guns and airplane parts to that organization (which later became the core of the Israel Defense Forces). This was a violation of the U.S. Neutrality Acts, a crime for which Greenspun was arrested and ultimately convicted on July 10, 1950. He was fined $10,000 but received no prison time (Bugsy Siegel’s Mafia partner-in-crime, Mickey Cohen, had claimed to have raised $1,000,000 for Haganah [Ibid p.31]. He would be imprisoned for tax evasion in 1951 A.D.). On October 18, 1961, President John F. Kennedy granted Greenspun a pardon. Upon Greenspun’s death in 1989, former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres called Greenspun ‘a hero of our country and a fighter for freedom.’” – Wikipedia: Hank Greenspun. Note the Israeli/Northern Ireland/Bugsy Siegel/Mafia/music industry associations. Add to the mix Intelligence agencies (including U.S. Army Intelligence, Israeli Intelligence and British Intelligence agencies; no doubt there also existed an underlying CIA connection, rogue or otherwise, as well as the traditional Mafia/Navy Intelligence partnership), Anton LaVey, Kenneth Anger, the Church of Satan, the OTO and other such practitioners of magic. Now shake: “Zap! You’re pregnant. That’s witchcraft.” As the JTA© article goes on to explain: “Greenspun, who said he heard the story from his father, later confirmed it with Teddy Kollek, the late Jerusalem mayor (himself an ex-Mossad Israeli Intelligence agent). According to the account, which Greenspun said he was making public for the first time, Kollek—who was in 1948 Israel’s point man heading the arms smuggling effort in New York—got to know the singer while staying in Hotel 14, atop the old Copacabana nightclub where Sinatra (with known Mafia connections) headlined” (“The [Copacabana] club opened November 10, 1940 at 10 East 60th Street in New York City. Although Monte Proser’s name was on the lease, he had a powerful partner: mob boss Frank Costello.” – Wikipedia: Copacabana (nightclub)). Teddy Kollek was a British MI5 asset assigned to the British Mandate’s Jewish Agency for Palestine (which Chairman was Poale Zion-member David Ben-Gurion [great-uncle to Hollywood actor/Warner Bros.© and CBS© president Leslie Moonves]) and a member of Haganah alongside Moshe Dayan, whose son, Hollywood actor Asaf Dayan, was a friend of Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey (Frank Sinatra was a member of the Rat Pack [along with U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s brother-in-law, Peter Lawford], as was Church 718

of Satan-member Sammy Davis Jr. It is in fact noted in LaVey’s own biography that: “Through friends, he [Anton LaVey] became involved with militant Israeli groups, some of which were running guns to the newly emerged nation [of Israel].” Apparently, these are the “friends” of whom LaVey himself speaks [Asaf Dyan it is important to note appears in John Huston’s 1969 A.D. film A Walk with Love and Death]). War makes strange bedfellows—the Theosophical Movement makes them stranger. Of an interesting note, Frank Sinatra stars in the 1966 A.D. movie Cast a Giant Shadow filmed on location in Israel celebrating the life of the Haganahconnected (he served as a Haganah military advisor) West Point-educated Romanian-Jewish U.S. Army Colonel-turned-Israeli Defense Forces Brigadier General Mickey Marcus who spent much of his life during the 1930s as a New York Assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting gangsters such as Lucky Luciano (assisting John Foster Dulles’ close associate New York District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey whose mafia prosecutions resulted in the conviction of Mafioso Charles ‘Lucky’ Luciano) as well as serving as Commissioner of the New York City Department of Corrections (and as such one of the individuals involved in Operation Underworld). As a Colonel in the U.S. Army, Mickey Marcus would serve as the head of the Pentagon’s War Crimes Division for the post-WWII Nuremberg Trials and as U.S. Secretary General of occupied Berlin. No doubt Mickey Marcus played a prominent role in this group’s illicit Israeli gun-running activities. Mickey Marcus would die by friendly fire in Israel in 1948 A.D. during Israel’s war for independence. Scandalous information and implications indeed. Other IDF foreign volunteers of Israel’s war for independence (known as ‘Machal’) include former RAF/U.S. Army Air Force airman Milton Rubenfeld (the father of Hollywood actor Paul ‘Pee-wee Herman’ Reubens; Milton Rubenfeld appears in Paul Reuben’s film Big Top Pee-wee [1988 A.D.]) and the Jewish Lockheed Martin-employee Al Schwimmer, a former member of General ‘Hap’ Arnold’s U.S. Army Air Force Air Transport Command (an organization at the forefront of U.S. Lend-Lease operations during WWII) and later CEO of Israel Aerospace Industries, Israel’s primary manufacturer of military and civilian aircraft and weaponry. As we learn from Wikipedia: “During Israel’s War of Independence, Schwimmer used his World War II experience and his contacts (in the U.S. Army Air Force) to smuggle surplus war planes to Israel. Using circuitous routes (through Panama), he also recruited the pilots and crews to fly the planes to Israel (some of which: “…took off for Israel [on July 14, 1948 A.D., the day Israel issued its Declaration of Independence] with full bomb loads, bombing Cairo [in Egypt] on the way.” - ARMING DAVID: THE HAGANAH’S ILLEGAL ARMS PROCUREMENT NETWORK IN THE UNITED STATES, 1945–49). Many of these men (from the U.S. Army Air Force) became the nucleus of the Israel Air Force.” Convicted of violating U.S. Neutrality Acts in 1950 A.D., Al Schwimmer 719

would later receive a presidential pardon from U.S. President Bill Clinton. No doubt a number of RAF/U.S. Army Air Force airmen within our story were involved in these clandestine arms smuggling efforts. Annapolis-grad Paul Schulman was another high-ranking American volunteer who participated in Israel’s war for independence. As we learn from his obituary in The New York Times: “Mr. Shulman, a New York native, was the deputy commander of a Navy destroyer in World War II. He left the United States Navy in 1945. He immediately joined the effort to smuggle refugees and arms from Europe into Palestine, which was administered under a British mandate. In November 1948, six months after the founding of Israel, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion asked Mr. Shulman, who was then 26, to set up Israel’s Navy. Fighting for control of territory continued until January 1949. In his nine months as commander, he laid the ground for Israel’s modern navy.” Amongst the ships in Schulman’s nascent Israeli navy was the S.S. Ben Hecht named after Fortean Club founding-member Ben Hecht (several members of the Fortean Club’s San Francisco chapter would become part of the Church of Satan’s inner circle), a Jewish Academy Award-winning Hollywood screenwriter whose credits include Gone with the Wind: “From 1918 to 1919 Hecht served as war correspondent in Berlin for the Chicago Daily News. According to Siegel, "Besides being a war reporter, he was noted for being a tough crime reporter while also becoming known in Chicago literary circles."… In Chicago, he also met and befriended Maxwell Bodenheim, an American poet and novelist, known as the King of Greenwich Village Bohemians, and with whom he became a lifelong friend (“Bodenheim and Ben Hecht met in Chicago and became literary friends about 1912…Together they founded The Chicago Literary Times (1923– 1924). The Chicago literary group also included Carl Sandburg, Theodore Dreiser [Theodore Dreiser, a one-time president of Charles Fort’s Fortean Society in New York, was a friend of John Cowper Powys who was a friend of Aleister Crowley’s friends Isidora Duncan and Louis T. Wilkinson (Powys also had ties to author Henry Miller). The Fortean Society membership rolls included Ben Hecht, Alexander Woollcott, Booth Tarkington and H. L. Mencken], Edgar Lee Masters, Witter Bynner, Arthur Davison Ficke, Floyd Dell, Vachel Lindsay and Sherwood Anderson.” – Wikipedia: Maxwell Bodenheim. Members of the Fortean Society would later make up the inner-circle membership rolls of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan)… Ben Hecht’s activism began when he met Peter Bergson. Hecht wrote in his book Perfidy that he used to be a scriptwriter until his meeting with Bergson, when he accidentally bumped into history - i.e. the burning need to do anything possible to save the doomed Jews of Europe (paraphrase from Perfidy). After meeting Bergson, Hecht dedicated himself to working with his rescue group, and after the war (WWII) ended he continued work for the establishment of the State of Israel. He wrote the screenplay for the Bergson 720

Group’s production of A Flag is Born, which opened on September 5, 1946 at the Alvin Playhouse (the Alvin Theater, since renamed the Neil Simon Theater) in New York City (located at 250 West 52nd Street in Midtown Manhattan). The play starred Marlon Brando and Paul Muni during its various productions. The proceeds from the play were used to purchase a ship that was renamed the S.S. Ben Hecht, which carried 900 refugees to Palestine in March, 1947. The British Navy captured the ship after it docked and sent 600 of its passengers to detention camps in Cyprus. The S.S. Ben Hecht later became the flagship of the Israeli Navy. Six months after the establishment of Israel by the United Nations, Bergson and Hecht officially dissolved the organization which produced the fund-raising play, followed by a dinner in New York City where Menachem Begin appeared, saying, “I believe that my people, liberated and re-assembled in its country, will contribute its full share toward the progress of all mankind ... [and predicted] that all of Palestine eventually would be free and that peace and brotherhood would prevail among Arabs and Jews alike” (‘insert uncontrollable laughter here’; Ben Hecht also staged “…a historical pageant about the Jews, entitled We Will Never Die” [involving and featuring performers including Frank Sinatra, Warner Bros.© contract actor Paul Muni, Burgess Meredith (the ‘Penguin’ from T.V.’s Batman© who ties to Sharon Tate’s murdered friend Jay Sebring), Sylvia Sidney (actress/wife of Louis Adler, director of A Flag is Born [produced by Hillel Kook]. His sister Stella Adler, a former teacher in Ben Hecht’s friend Erwin Piscator’s workship at the CIA-associated New School for Social Research during the 1940s, operated the NYU-affiliated Stella Adler Studio of Acting attended by Marlon Brando, Robert DeNiro, Warren Beatty, Candice Bergen and Sydney Pollack), Edward G. Robinson including a musical score by Kurt Weil, staged by acclaimed Broadway producer Moss Hart, in other words, all the usual people connected to all the usual suspects] which included a direct “appeal for a Jewish army” [See City of Nets p.360]. This army of course needed arms, and these guns were supplied by other associates of Anton LaVey). Thanks to his fund-raising, speeches, and jawboning, Sternlicht writes, “Ben Hecht did more to help Jewish refugees from the Holocaust and to ensure the survival of the nascent State of Israel than any other American Jew in the twentieth century.” As much as anything, it was the abiding love of his Jewish parent and Rose Hecht that motivated the writer to become arguably “the most effective propagandist” … Underworld (Hecht’s 1927 A.D. classic film noir screenplay) was the story of a petty hoodlum with political pull; it was based on a real Chicago gangster Hecht knew. The film began the gangster film genre that became popular in the early 1930s.” – Wikipedia: Ben Hecht. Concerning Ben Hecht’s associate Peter Bergson: “Hillel Kook (producer of Ben Hecht’s play A Flag is Born)…also known as Peter Bergson…was a Revisionist Zionist activist, politician, and prominent member of the 721

Irgun…Hillel Kook was born in Lithuania in 1915, the son of Rabbi Dov Kook, the younger brother of Abraham Isaac Kook, the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of the British Mandate in Palestine. In 1924, his family immigrated to Palestine, where his father became the first Chief Rabbi of Afula. Hillel Kook received a religious education in Afula and at the Religious Zionist Yeshiva Merkaz HaRav in Jerusalem and was an unregistered student of Jewish Studies at the Hebrew University. While there, he became a member of Sohba, or ‘Comradeship,’ a group of students who would later become prominent in the Revisionist movement, including (Commander in Chief of the Irgun) David Raziel and Avraham Stern (Avraham Stern was a leader of the militant Zionist group Lehi, also known as the Stern Gang [the Stern Gang/Lehi specialized in assassinations. It was members of the Stern Gang/Lehi who would in 1944 A.D. assassinate (Guiness beer company director) Walter Guinness, 1st Baron Moyne who was serving as British minister of state in the Middle East. Walter Guiness was a political ally of Winston Churchill]). Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey as he notes in his autobiography was associated with members of both the Irgun and the Stern Gang. Another prominent Lehi leader named Yitzhak Shamir who was involved in these endeavors would become Prime Minister of Israel in 1983 A.D.). Kook joined the pre-state Haganah militia in 1930 following widespread Arab riots. In 1931, Kook helped found the Irgun, a group of militant Haganah dissidents, and fought with them in Palestine through most of the 1930s. He served as a post commander in 1936, and eventually became a member of the Irgun General Headquarters. In 1937 Kook began his career as an international spokesperson for the Irgun… He first went to Poland, where he was involved in fundraising and establishing Irgun cells in Eastern Europe. It was there that he met…Ze'ev Jabotinsky, and became friends with his son Ari. At the founders’ request, Kook traveled to the United States with Jabotinsky in 1940, where he soon served as the head of the Irgun…in America, following the elder’s death in August. This assignment was clandestine, and Kook publicly denied he was affiliated with the Irgun many times while in America. While in America, Kook led a group of Irgun activists under the pseudonym ‘Peter Bergson,’ supposedly to avoid embarrassing his family (particularly his famous uncle Abraham Isaac) (the renowned Torah scholar and Kabalist Abraham Isaac Kook) with his political activities. The name ‘Bergson Group’ or ‘Bergsonites’ eventually became used to refer to all the members of Kook’s immediate circle. The Bergson Group was composed of a hard-core cadre of ten Irgun activists from Europe, America and Palestine, including Aryeh Ben-Eliezer, Yitzhak Ben-Ami, Alexander Rafaeli, Shmuel Merlin, and Ari Jabotinsky (the son of Youth Movement leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky). The Bergson Group was closely involved with various Jewish and Zionist advocacy groups, such as the American Friends for a Jewish Palestine (the son of the 722

founder of this group, J Street executive-director Jeremy Ben-Ami, served as U.S. President Bill Clinton’s Deputy Domestic Policy Adviser) and the Organizing Committee of Illegal Immigration. The group also founded some separate initiatives of its own, specifically the Committee for a Jewish Army of Stateless and Palestinian Jews, whose goal was the formation of an Allied fighting force of stateless and Palestinian Jews. Some credit the later formation of the Jewish Brigade, a British unit of Palestinian Jews (which fought alongside British forces during WWII), with Kook’s activism. Two American members of the Bergson Group were author and screenwriter Ben Hecht (who as we learn from City of Nets p.359 was in fact “the American leader” of the Irgun organization itself) and cartoonist Arthur Szyk (a graphic artist/stage designer/book illustrator whose caricatures of Axis leaders during WWII appeared in newspapers and magazines all around America would be published in a 1941 A.D. book, The New Order, by G. P. Putnam’s Sons in New York [the Avon Books division of which would publish Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Bible in 1969 A.D.]). There were many others who actively supported the ‘Bergson Group,’ for example a number of the best known people on Broadway and Hollywood (including actor Marlon Brando), probably due to Ben Hecht’s contacts…In 1947, the Bergson Group had purchased a ship originally intended to carry new immigrants to Palestine, but, perhaps partially due to (Menachem) Begin’s influence, was eventually used to ship arms.” – Wikipedia: Hillel Kook. The efforts of the Bergson Group did much to save countless numbers of Jews from suffering horrid deaths at the hands of the Nazis in German concentration camps) (Kabalist/artist Gerd Stern, a German Jewish immigrant who arrived in America in 1936 A.D. in the years following Hitler’s rise to power, was involved in these clandestine activities as well. First settling amongst the Jewish refugee population gathered in Manhattan in New York City, Gerd Stern fell in with a group of artists and actors centered in Greenwich Village [East Village], where he would link up with author Michael Fraenkel, a former member of the Parisian magic/literary scene centered around Henry Miller, Anais Nin [a friend of Church of Satan/OTO-member Kenneth Anger (Anais Nin, Kenneth Anger, Anton LaVey, Jack Parsons and Kurt Weil are all known attendees of the Samson De Brier magic salon in Hollywood)], Alfred Perles, [British author] Lawrence Durrell [a known former employee of the British Foreign Office which served as the forerunner of Britain’s MI6] and Antonin Artaud [Laurence Durrell ties to British spy/author/journalist Arthur Koestler, former secretary to Israeli Youth Movement-leader Ze’ev Jabotinski. Koestler had also been a member of the Sanary-Sur-Mer group in Paris and at one point in time Arthur Koestler even lived with Cyril Connelly in London—Cyril Connelly’s friends and associates including of course novelist Henry Miller. Arthur Koestler is known to have once travelled to Israel in an Intelligence capacity as a British secret agent for a clandestine 723

meeting with Irgun-leader Menacham Began using the guise of a Times reporter as cover). As Gerd Stern his self explains in an interview: “Now somewhere during that time in the Village, I met a group of people who were around a man named Michael Fraenkel, the author of a book called Bastard Death (the second edition of which includes an Introduction by Henry Miller who resided for a time with Fraenkel at his home in the Villa Seurat in France during the 1930s). He also had a series of correspondences which were in several published volumes with Henry Miller (Henry Miller’s Hamlet Letters, Vol. I & Vol. II). Through that group I (Gerd Stern) met Michael (Fraenkal) and Henry (Miller). That became the connection to Israel (during the 1930s in Paris Fraenkel had co-founded a press with business partner/Communist Walter Lowenfels who would in 1953 A.D. be charged by the FBI in a conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government. Fraenkel’s literary works appear in The Nation and The New Republic. Of a pertinent note, Stella Adler’s husband Harold Clurman at this time served as literary critic for both The Nation and The New Republic. Harold Clurman along with Lee Strasberg and Cheryl Crawford were co-founders of the Group Theatre NYC-based theatrical group. Lee Strasberg and Cheryl Crawford would go on to co-found the Actors Studio. Harold Clurman also ties to the Living Theatre theatrical group with which [Kenneth Anger’s friend] Keith Richard’s girlfriend Anita Pallenberg was associated)… Then when the whole political situation in Israel surfaced (Gerd Stern as he explains: “…had been involved with the Sternist movement [Lehi, aka the Stern Gang] to send a boat to Israel [the S.S. Ben Hecht, which carried 900 refugees to Palestine in March, 1947 A.D. and would become the flagship of the nascent Israeli Navy], which was principally financed by [former Hollywood Hellfire Clubmember] Ben Hecht and Harpo Marx [a member of the Marx Brothers vaudeville/Broadway/Hollywood comedy act. Harpo Marx was a friend of theater critic Alexander Woollcott and along with Woollcott a member of the Algonquin Round Table. Alexander Woollcott was also a friend of Walter Duranty, a known associate of Aleister Crowley]…”)…” - From Beat Scene Poet to Psychedelic Multimedia Artist in San Francisco and Beyond, 1948-1978. Henry Miller was a member of the House of Habsburg, the Habsburgs historically being allies of the Rothchilds, a Jewish family which also played an essential role in the creation of modern day Israel. Another individual at the heart of this clandestine operation was U.S. Major General Julius Klein. As we learn from Dope, Inc., Major General Julius Klein, a Jewish descendent of the House of David [See The Unbroken Chain by Neil Rosenstein], had played a major role in the covert arming of Jewish militant groups including Haganah and later post-independence in the supplying of the Jewish state of Israel with arms) (**Author’s note: Gun-running activities involving elements of quasi-terrorist independence organizations and movements opposed to British colonial rule [including the Irish Republican Army and the Israeli 724

Irgun] with the express intent of arming said elements were commonly run out of the state of California particularly from ports located on the American West Coast in the San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles areas. For a feel of the shadowy world in which many of these groups operated see Wikipedia: Christmas Day plot, the Annie Larsen affair and the Hindu-German conspiracy; groups seeking independence from England as a matter of course supported Germany in the run-up to WWII (Additionally, besides his role as an LSD guru, gun-running activities was a specialty of Capt. Al Hubbard: “As a high-level OSS officer, the Captain [Al Hubbard] directed an extremely sensitive covert operation that involved smuggling weapons and war material to Great Britain prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.” – Acid Dreams. Pearl Harbor was the catalyst for America’s entrance into World War II. Prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, America retained a neutral status and such gun-running activities illegally violated America’s neutrality status as codified in the Congressional Neutrality Acts passed in the 1930s). It would seem Anton LaVey and company (and members of such groups associated with the Indian Independence Movement, of which, it must be noted, the Theosophical Society was front and center) was allegedly more than probably less associated with such illicit gun-running activities which also included direct participation by known ‘mob’ elements who already had had an established smuggling pipeline in place from its illicit alcohol distribution network developed during the entire judicial and political corrupting Prohibition Era years (In fact, Al Hubbard himself had: “…worked for the Treasury Department as a young man during the Capone days, busting moonshiners and gangsters who were smuggling liquor into the US from Canada (interestingly enough, the manufacture of alcohol, by definition a sublimated substance produced by distillation and obtained by heating a solid into a vapor and allowing it to cool again as a way of extracting the ‘spirits’ contained therein itself involves an alchemical operation, alchemy in days of yore belonging to the realm of magic). Apparently he was able to ingratiate himself with both sides during Prohibition, as he subsequently became deputy chief of security for the (mob-owned) Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas.” – Acid Dreams. He probably ingratiated himself by helping to stifle Al Capone’s competition. The Tropicana Hotel was most notably associated with mobsters Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky [Meyer Lansky is named as one of the Mafia members having played a role in illicit Haganah arms shipments in ARMING DAVID: THE HAGANAH’S ILLEGAL ARMS PROCUREMENT NETWORK IN THE UNITED STATES, 1945–49] and Anton LaVey’s uncle’s business partner, Bugsy

Siegel. Let the scandal investigation begin. As an added interesting note, a number of Hollywood films were filmed at the Tropicana Hotel including Viva Las Vegas [1964 A.D.] with Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley [a friend of Rat Pack-er/Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis, Jr. Church of Satan high-priestess Jane Mansfied was a performer at the 725

Tropicana Hotel as well], The Godfather with Marlon Brando [Marlon Brando had performed in Ben Hecht’s fundraising play ‘A Flag is Born’ the proceeds of which was used towards the procurement of the S.S. Ben Hecht] and the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever produced by the British Intelligence-connected Pinewood Studios film producer Harry Saltzman, a member during WWII of the U.S. Psychological Warfare Division [the PWD was formed with staff from the OSS, the U.S. Office of War Information (OWI) and the British Political Warfare Executive (the PWE. A Number of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members were employed as spies in the PWE. PWE spy Ellic Howe would write a number of books on the history of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). It was Harry Saltzman who would set up the United Nation’s UNESCO film division. Harry Saltzman worked closely with NYU* grad/Jewish film screenwriter/Broadway producer Richard Maibaum [amongst whose WWII wartime propaganda films includes the 1941 A.D. film I Wanted Wings for which the U.S. Army Air Corps provided 1,160 planes, 1,050 cadets, 450 officers and instructors and 2,543 enlisted men]. Richard Maibaum, a friend of actor Alan Ladd [Alan Ladd was a member of the aforementioned U.S. Army Air Corps’ First Motion Picture Unit during WWII; his son Alan Ladd, Jr. (whose Ladd Company film production company would produce many films for Warner Bros.© throughout the 1980s) would serve as President of 20th Century Fox©, he being instrumental in bringing George Lucas’ Star Wars© film to the screen], had worked closely with Hollywood Hellfire Club-member Ben Hecht to write the screenplay for the 1942 A.D. film, Ten Gentlemen from West Point [*NYU was a university founded by the Carbonari-connected Freemason Albert Pike’s friend Gallatin Mackey and has extensive Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Fabian Society associations]. A television episode of Aaron Spelling’s Charlies’ Angels entitled "Angels in Vegas" guest starring Rat Pack member Dean Martin [whose fellow Rat Pack member Sammy Davis Jr. was a member of the Church of Satan] would be filmed there in 1978 A.D. as well [this is due to the fact that actor Alan Ladd’s son David Ladd was married to Charlies’ Angels star Cheryl Ladd (Cheryl Ladd also appears in Aaron Spelling’s 1973 A.D. horror film Satan's School for Girls with Charlies’ Angels co-star Kate Jackson [former Walt Disney star Pamela Franklin (Pamela Franklin appears with Orson Welles in U.S. Army Air Corps vet/producer Bert I. Gordon’s 1972 A.D. magic-themed horror film, Necromancy and with Gayle Hunnicut* [along with Elizabeth Taylor’s lifelong friend Roddy McDowall] in Gordon’s 1973 A.D. British horror film The Legend of Hell House [*Gayle Hunnicutt at time of filming was married to British actor David Hemmings (he appears in Barbarella with Jane Fonda [an attendee of the Samson De Brier magic salon whose notable attendees included OTO lodge leader Jack Parsons and Church of Satan-founder Anton 726

Isherwood had resided with the Viertels for a time) who’s associate Benjamin Britten was a friend of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood] and later appears with actress Drew Barrymore, granddaughter of Hollywood Hellfire Club-member John Barrymore (a co-member of the Hollywood Hellfire Club with Ben Hecht whose friend John Carradine was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge) in the 1992 A.D. film Poison Ivy]). W.B. Yeats, a Dublin Theosophical Society-member and Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn had been romantically involved with an Irish revolutionary and onetime Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member named Maude Gonne (1866-1953 A.D.) (Maude Gonne’s daughter, Iseault, had had a brief affair with Ezra Pound! Maude Gonne later married a man named John MacBride, an army vet who had led the Irish Transvaal Brigade against British troops during the Second Boer War. MacBride was a friend of Arthur Griffith, founder of Sinn Fein, political arm of the Irish Republican Army. Their son, the Nobel Peace Prize winner Seán MacBride, was Director of Intelligence for the Irish Republican Army, founder of Amnesty International [an organization with substantial Theosophical Society-associations], and eventually served as President of the General Assembly and AssistantSecretary General of the United Nations). W.B. Yeats was connected to the ‘Colmcille Branch of the Gaelic League,’ members of which were secretly members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (the Irish Republican Brotherhood [W.B.Yeats had known associations with one of this group’s leading figures, namely, John O’Leary, a member of the Young Ireland movement] was a successor organization of the Carbonari’s Illuminati/Freemasonic Young Ireland movement of the 1840s which staged the so-called unsuccessful Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848, as part of a greater Youth Movement organized by Sicillian-Mafia founder and Freemasonic Chief of Political Action Giuseppe Mazzini in conjunction with Illuminati/Freemasonic British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston expressly formulated to destabilize unfriendly foreign governments, its modern day equivalent being the CIA’s Executive Action), the Irish Republican Brotherhood being of course the precursor organization to the modern-day 727

Irish Republican Army (IRA). Crazy as it sounds, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Theosophical Society itself were used (amongst other organizations) as fronts for various revolutionary groups run by individuals Overshadowed by the rebel alien angels with whom they were through magic and Spiritualist activities in direct contact. It is quite the tangled web they weave and quite the tangled tale) (Helping to make sense of the seemingly bizarre Israel-Ireland partnership is The Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland: “The Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland, also known as the British Zionist Federation or simply the Zionist Federation (ZF), was established in 1899 to campaign for a permanent homeland for the Jewish people. The Zionist Federation is an umbrella organisation for the Zionist movement in the United Kingdom, representing more than 120 organisations, and over 50,000 affiliated members. In 1917, the British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour communicated the Balfour Declaration to the leader of United Kingdom’s Jewish community Lord Rothschild for transmission to the Zionist Federation…Among its aims and objectives…Support, co-ordinate and facilitate the work of all its affiliates nationwide, and to continue its commitment to the Zionist youth movements.” – Wikipedia: The Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. The Balfour Declaration must also be viewed in light of the British Israelism movement which roots trace back to the second half of the 19th Century A.D.: “British Israelism (also called Anglo-Israelism) is the belief that people of Western European descent, particularly those in Great Britain (Ireland included), are the direct lineal descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The concept often includes the belief that the British Royal Family is directly descended from the line of King David.” – Wikipedia: British Israelism. As English author John Michell notes in Eccentric Lives and Peculiar Notions: “Deeply rooted in the culture of the British people is the mystical notion that they are the true Israelites, the spiritual heirs [through reincarnation] or even the blood descendents of the ten tribes* made captive by the Assyrians and dispersed from the Holy Land in the eighth century B.C. [*known as the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel]. It is a belief which has taken many forms and given rise to many strange obsessions, movements and turns of history.”) (Pertinent Quote: “The occult underpinnings of the spy business should not be glossed over if we are attempting to understand historical world manipulation by [Satanic] secret societies, much less the real nature of UFO abductions. It may be interesting to note that many occultists channeling "alien" entities have had one foot in the occult camp, the other foot among spy agency contacts. Aleister Crowley was a "magickal" adept who functioned as a spy for the British, and—opinions differ—perhaps simultaneously for the Germans. During his career as the world’s foremost occultist of the time, Crowley claimed to be in contact with any number of alien beings, including gods of ancient Egypt, and to channel written material such as The Book of 728

the Law, which he attributed to an extraterrestrial entity named Aiwass [Azazel]…A 1923 U.S. military intelligence report reveals that Aleister Crowley, as well as another famous occultist, Rudolph Steiner, the founder of the Blavatsky-esque Anthroposophy, were being investigated as the leaders of a New York occult group allegedly involved in "subversive Bolshevik activities." The report, written by a Norman Armond, goes so far as to suggest that the Russian Revolution may have been controlled by occult networks (Notable Quote[s]: “‘The promoters of the Russian revolution had in view the complete destruction of Christianity and its moral code. Nobody was admitted to the Communist party, unless he denied GOD.’…(the famous Stephan Graham).” - p.188 The Secret World Government by Czarist Major-General Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich, 1926 A.D.). Armond states that Steiner and Crowley, through a holding company Steiner controlled, had been involved in an alliance with Lenin that had begun in 1909. Aleister Crowley is reported— whether reliably or not, I do not know—to have initiated "psychedelic guru" Aldous Huxley into drugs (in all probability Huxley was also a British Intelligence asset and their meeting was designed to pass on information/orders). While this connection may lie somewhat afield of what we are discussing, Huxley was the grandson of Thomas Huxley, a founder of the Rhodes Round Table (British Intelligence head Arnold J. Toynbee and Aldous Huxley were members of this group, working together for many years), which was the base from which later well-known elitist control mechanisms such as the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations (the CFR; every Republican presidential ticket since Richard M. Nixon has included a CFR member, and most U.S. presidents since Franklin D. Roosevelt have themselves also been members**), and the Bilderbergers were launched. Aldous Huxley was raised in the "Children of the Sun" …a school for children of Round Tablers, and was tutored at Oxford by H.G. Wells who, during World War I, was the director of British foreign intelligence, and as the author of books like The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution [in his own words a “conspiracy against established things” through the creation of a “New World” order including the institution of a new “religion.” This new religion would manifest itself as ‘Humanism’], the most influential mouthpiece of the Rhodes/Illuminist New World Order. During 1952 and 1953 secret meetings are reported to have taken place between CIA Director Allen Dulles (a CFR member), Ford Foundation Director Robert Hutchins (a dean of Yale Law School [1927– 1929 A.D.], and president [1929–1945 A.D.] and chancellor [1945–1951 A.D.] of the University of Chicago who would in 1959 A.D. found the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions [a number of whose Fellows had Esalen Institute associations], an influential Ford Foundation think-tank [which the CIA used to funnel funds for its Intelligence operations] located in Santa Barbara, CA), and Dr. Humphry Osmond, (Aldous) Huxley’s friend 729

and personal physician (another famous psychiatric patient of Dr. Humphry Osmond was A.A.’s Bill Wilson). These meetings involved the funding by the Ford Foundation for a number of experimental research projects (under the CIA’s MKULTRA—Richard Bissell [likely related to George Washington’s American Revolution era spy Daniel Bissell], head of the Ford Foundation from 1952-54 A.D., consulted frequently with CIA head Allen Dulles and upon leaving the Ford Foundation would himself become a special assistant to Allen Dulles at the CIA) using LSD and mescaline. Also of interest is the statement of Captain Al Hubbard that LSD had been discovered, years prior to the date of its reported discovery, by a group led by the aforementioned Rudolph Steiner, seeking to discover a metaphysical "Peace Pill." Huxley started a number of groups that, by furnishing LSD, mescaline, and settings for controlled trips, launched virtually all of the acidoccult missionaries of the 1960s, including Tim Leary (a CIA-associated psychiatrist involved in MKULTRA research), Ken Kesey (an MKULTRA test-subject), Richard Alpert (Baba Ram Dass) (Alpert, an MKULTRA researcher, was an associate of both Ken Kesey and Timothy Leary), Gregory Bateson (an OSS research scientist involved in MKULTRA research), and Alan Watts (a partaker of entheogens who lectured at the CIAassociated Esalen Institute).” – Saucers of the Illuminati by Jim Keith, 2004 A.D.) (** Pertinent Quote: “The Council on Foreign Relations controls our government [the inner-circle Executive Committee members of the CFR are “men who are always recruited without exception from the secret societies of Harvard and Yale known as the Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key”]. Through the years its members have infiltrated the entire executive branch, State Department, Justice Department, CIA, and the top ranks of the military. EVERY DIRECTOR OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY HAS BEEN A MEMBER OF THE CFR. MOST PRESIDENTS SINCE [Franklin Delano] ROOSEVELT HAVE BEEN MEMBERS. The members of the CFR dominate ownership of the press and most, if not all, of America’s top journalists are members… The goal of the Council on Foreign Relations is a New World Order.” – p.85 Behold a Pale Horse [1991 A.D.] by former Naval Intelligence officer William Cooper)

Anton LaVey (like JFK) at different points in time dated Hollywood bombshells Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield (both of whom were models from the Blue Book Model Agency, a modeling school/model agency headed by Emmeline Snively and located at the Ambassador Hotel in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The UCLA educated Warner Bros.© contract actress Jayne Mansfield was as Anton LaVey explains in his book entitled The Secret Life of a Satanist, “a full-fledged member of the Church of Satan” as well as “a consummate witch…adept at performing her own little Satanic rituals… To honor Jayne’s natural abilities as a Satanist, LaVey made her a Priestess of the Church of Satan, and presented her with a certificate declaring her position which she proudly displayed on her wall…” Jane 730

Mansfield’s last T.V. appearance prior to her death would be on Rat Packmember Joey Bishop’s The Joey Bishop Show hosted by Joey Bishop and featuring Regis Philbin, her last movie appearance being A Guide for the Married Man [1967 A.D.] in which she also acted alongside Joey Bishop). Anton LaVey once even performed a Satanic ritual on the 7th Anniversary nationally-acclaimed Johnny Carson Show, one of the top-rated shows of its time. Could a conspiracy be more open? Anton LaVey was even an associate of NASA-associated astrophysicist/astronomer/ufoologist Jacques Vallee (Vallee worked as a scientific adviser alongside J. Allen Hynek for the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Jacques Vallee had served as an assistant to Prof. J. Allen Hynek, the academic consultant on the Air Force’s Project Bluebook UFO investigations, and no doubt had possessed a ‘top secret’ clearance as well). As Anton LaVey himself openly opines: “Without us there would have been no counterculture.” And indeed, certainly without the Freemasons, the Theosophical Society and the CIA there would have been no 1960s counter-culture revolution in America! No doubt this magical tradition itself lives on at the great Bohemian Grove located in the San Fransico Bay Area, which, it would seem, along with UNESCO, is the modern fruition of Rudolph Steiner’s life-long dream of uniting all individual magic practicing groups (represented by the Theosophical Society, the Rosicrucians, the Freemasons and the Hermetic Orders as well as the many loosely organized independent groups) into one vast occult international league, what Steiner invisioned as a great International Bund (See Chapter 11 p.101 of Modern Ritual Magic: The Rise of Western Occultism by Francis King, 1989 A.D.). What we are witnessing today is the rise to positions of power of these various secret occult groups and the enterprises their members control, political, economic, social and military which include most importanly quasi-military international Intelligence organizations which work outside of and very contrary to the law). Witness the birth of the New World Order! Though it shall fall like a house of cards upon Jesus Christ’s return (Concerning the Bohemian Grove: “On August 18, 1904, [San Francisco born American author and Theosophical Society member] Jack London went with his close friend, the [American] poet George Sterling, to "Summer High Jinks" at the Bohemian Grove [San Francisco-born American historian and Bohemian Club member “Kevin Starr once wrote of London’s friend Sterling: ‘The uncrowned King of Bohemia (so his friends called him), Sterling had been at the center of every artistic circle in the San Francisco Bay area.’ Sterling joined the Bohemian Club and acted in their theatrical productions each summer at the Bohemian Grove. For the main Grove play in 1907, the club presented The Triumph of Bohemia, Sterling's verse drama depicting the battle between the "Spirit of Bohemia" and Mammon for the souls of the grove’s woodsmen [as both represent Azazel, Azazel inevitably wins!]. Sterling also supplied lyric 731

for the musical numbers at the 1918 Grove play…George Sterling once posed for an illustration by Adelaide Hanscom Leeson which appeared in a printing of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam…(Omar Khayyam was a 12th Century Sufi magic-practicing poet who partnered with the leader of the Ismaili Assassins)” – Wikipedia. Translated by Edward FitzGerald from manuscripts he found in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a national sensation when it was published in America, was published in collaboration with Ralph Waldo Emerson, an associate of emminent environmentalist/Bohemian Club member John Muir (for more information on the teachings of the Assassins see the Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity published by the Oxford University Press in association with the Institute of Ismaili Studies). Ralph Waldo Emerson can be traced back to the Theosophical Society and to Annie Besant and Edward Maitland and through joint associations to known members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. George Sterling was an associate of acclaimed American journalist H.L. Mencken who as we learn from Wikipedia: “In his capacity as editor and man of ideas, Mencken became close friends with the leading literary figures of his time, including Theodore Dreiser, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joseph Hergesheimer, Anita Loos, Ben Hecht, Sinclair Lewis, James Branch Cabell, and Alfred Knopf, as well as a mentor to several young reporters, including Alistair Cooke.”]. London was elected to honorary membership in the Bohemian Club and took part in many activities. Other noted members of the Bohemian Club during this time included [newsman] Ambrose Bierce [b. 1842 – d. 1913 A.D.; he served in the Union army during the Civil War a career which continued during the post-war years. Bierce, who was George Sterling’s ‘mentor,’ lived in England from 1872 -1875, returning to the United States revealingly enough in the very same year H.P. Blavatsky made her appearance taking the East Coast by storm with her establishment of the Theosophical Society in New York City [1875 A.D. was a momentous year in the history of the Great Work movement of the rebellious fallen angels, for: “This same year (1875 A.D.) that saw me (Annie Besant) launched on the world as a public advocate of Freethought (working with Charles Bradlaugh under the auspices of the Palladian Thomas Scott), saw also the founding of the Theosophical Society to which my Freethought was to lead me (and to which she would later attain to the presidency). I have often since thought with pleasure that at the very time I began lecturing in England, H.P. Blavatsky was at work in the United States, preparing the foundation on which in November, 1875, the Theosophical Society was to be raised.” Annie Besant: An Autobiography]. Ambrose Bierce later became one of the columnists/editorialists featured in fellow Bohemian Club member/Bohemian Grove attendee William Randolph Hearst’s newspaper [thereby employed from 1887-1906 A.D.; William Randolph Hearst began his association with Warner Bros.© film company in the 1930s when he 732

moved his Cosmopolitan Films to the Warner Bros.© studios lot; note well this Warner Bros.©/Bohemian Club link. Another Hearst employee of note is Major General Julius Klein who during WWI had served as an allied spy; as a civilian after the war he was employed as a criminal reporter for Hearst’s Chicago newspaper, the State Herald, and later worked as an executive in the motion picture industry from 1934-1939 A.D. A Major General in the Pacific region during WWII, Klein was instrumental in formulating an important military plan called “Combat Public Relations” included such fields as psychological warfare and propaganda. Following the war, Klein would serve as National Commander of the Jewish War Veterans of the USA (JWV) and influenced American’s to vote for the partition of Palestine. As we learn from Dope, Inc., Major General Julius Klein had played a major role in the covert arming of Jewish militant groups including Haganah and later in the supplying of the nascent Jewish state of Israel with arms], the San Francisco Examiner (the San Francisco Examiner’s writing staff has included Ambrose Bierce, and Theosophical Society members Mark Twain and Jack London (Notable Mark Twain Quote: “I have always felt friendly towards Satan. Of course that is ancestral; it must be in the blood.”). The San Francisco-born William Randolph Hearst also owned the San Francisco Chronicle members of which newspaper staff had at the first established the Bohemian Club giving birth to the Bohemian Grove; the Hearst family has long served as a major benefactor to the University of California, Berkeley, located directly across the bay from San Francisco), one of the most prominent and influential journalists on the entire West Coast [Bierce was an early horror fiction writer, and authored many books (including The Devil’s Dictionary) and short stories]. Bierce disappeared under mysterious circumstances in Mexico in association with the Mexican Revolution in which he likely played a major Illuminus role, never to be heard from again [See Wikipedia: Ambrose Bierce]), John Muir [co-founder of the Sierra Club; Bohemian Grove attendee], Gelett Burgess [Bohemian Grove attendee “Frank Gelett Burgess (January 30, 1866 – September 18, 1951) was an artist, art critic, poet, author, and humorist. An important figure in the San Francisco Bay Area literary renaissance of the 1890s, particularly through his iconoclastic little magazine, The Lark.”], and Frank Norris [Bohemian Grove attendee “Benjamin Franklin Norris, Jr., born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 5, 1870 – died October 25, 1902, in San Francisco, California, was an American novelist, during the Progressive Era”].” – Wikipedia. George Sterling himself was a close friend of Clark Ashton Smith who was “a member of the Lovecraft circle [read: a member of Lovecraft’s Cult of Cthulhu], (Smith's literary friendship with H. P. Lovecraft lasted from 1922 until Lovecraft’s death in 1937), Smith remains second only to Lovecraft in general esteem and importance amongst contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales” – Wikipedia: Clark Ashton Smith. George Sterling, who was 733

befriended as well as ‘mentored’ by Bohemian Club member Ambrose Bierce, was in turn a friend and ‘mentor’ to poet/environmentalist Robinson Jeffers** [1887 – 1962 A.D.; yes, even the modern-day environmental movement was derived therefrom—many so-called West Coast ‘treehuggers’ are pagan practioners of magic and witchcraft. Jeffers himself was a friend of D.H. Lawrence [Lawrence was a friend of T.S. Eliot as well as Ezra Pound, a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats. Ezra Pound was the friend of a woman named Eva Fowler, the daughter of Bohemian Club president Paul Neumann], D.H. Lawrence in turn was a friend of Aldous Huxley [Huxley was a friend of Timothy Leary; and Huxley can be traced to Bertrand Russell and company]; Huxley can in turn be traced to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO-member/British spy Aleister Crowley, who can be traced to the Church of Scientology-founder-L. Ron Hubbard-associated OTO-leader Jack Parsons [whose one-time business associate Frank Malina can be traced to J. Krishnamurti’s friend, Aldous Huxley’s brother Dr. Julian Huxley, Director-General of UNESCO], Parsons being the neighbor of Kenneth Anger, a close friend of Church of Satanfounder Anton LaVey! So this is what LaVey means when he brags the counterculture (anti-Christian in nature) would not have existed without ‘us’]; Robinson Jeffers of course as it turns out like many before and after once made the acquaintance of and was wholly inspired by J. Krishnamurti of Theosophical Society fame [interestingly enough, Jeffer’s poem ‘The Beaks of Eagles’ was made into a song by The Beach Boys, members of which practiced Transcendental Meditation. One notable member of The Beach Boys was Mike Love: “Love was one of the first pop musicians to become involved in the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, through his meeting with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (British Intelligence agent John G. Bennett had himself initiated contact with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1959 A.D. Members of the rock group The Doors [namely Ray Mazarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore] first met at one of the Transcendental Meditation lectures hosted by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. As Doors’ bandmember John Densmore concedes: “There wouldn’t be any Doors without Maharishi.” (See the Maharishi’s Obituary on p.16 of Rolling Stone magazine, March 6, 2008 A.D.). As a result he (Mike Love) accompanied The Beatles, Donovan, Prudence Farrow (remember The Beatles song ‘Dear Prudence’? It was written about her. She would become a teacher of TM meditation techniques), and (Rosemary’s Baby star) Mia Farrow (Mia Farrow was the former wife of Frank Sinatra and would later serve as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador) on their famous trip to the guru’s ashram at Rishikesh in India in early 1968.” – Wikipedia: Mike Love. I mention this only because The Beach Boys group keeps cropping up in the very thick of things. They also notably enough covered a song written by Charles Manson) (**Robinson Jeffers was a member of the Carmel, CA 734

Bohemian artists’ colony [Carmel-by-the-Sea] founded in part by the “uncrowned king of Bohemia” George Sterling upon his arrival there in 1905 A.D. [George Sterling’s friend/Theosophical Society-member Jack London provides a description of the colony in his book The Valley of the Moon]. Following the San Francisco earthquake which had largely destroyed the city in 1906 A.D., the area would be inundated by Bay area Bohemians [including magic-practicing artists, writers and poets; the word ‘Bohemian’ is synonymous with ‘magic’ and ‘magic-practices’]. In 1907 A.D. the Carmel Arts and Crafts Clubhouse [it being associated with the Arts and Crafts movement] was built there in Carmel whereat George Sterling performed his plays and where various classes were offered, and the Forest Theater would be erected there in 1910 A.D. [which later hosted plays directed by directors including Cole Weston, son of Guggenheim Fellowship award-winning photographer Edward Weston (Guggenheim Fellowships you will find are largely awarded to various practitioners of magic commonly with links to the Theosophical Society)]. The Forest Theater** would in 1939 A.D. become the beneficiary of a Works Progress Administration [WPA] reconstruction project [the WPA, created by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in its very essence basically offered government funding and financial support to Theosophical Society-associated artists, writers and poets of the magic-practicing variety] which resulted in its rebuilding giving birth to the Carmel Shakespeare Festival in 1940 A.D. [** today the home site of the Pacific Repertory Theatre group]. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Among the noted artists who lived in or frequented the village were Mary Austin [author/aquaintence of British Intelligence head H.G. Wells], Armin Hansen [an American artist/UCBerkeley professor], George Sterling and his protegѐ Clark Ashton Smith, Ambrose Bierce, Upton Sinclair [the Scottish Sinclair Clan were builders of the Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland and were proCatholic Jacobites as well. Following a Papal crackdown in 1307 A.D., a number of persecuted members of the Knights Templar group would flee to Scotland there to be protected by the Sinclair clan], Robinson Jeffers [Jeffers’ Tor House was located nearby. Robinson Jeffers was a friend of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.’s friend Charles Lindbergh], Sinclair Lewis, Sydney Yard, Ferdinand Burgdorff, William Frederic Ritschel, William Keith, Percy Gray, Arnold Genthe and Nora May French.” Carmel has also since 1910 A.D. been home to the Carnegie Institution for Science [whose former presidents have included Vannevar Bush (president from 1939–1955 A.D.); due to Vannevar Bush’s involvement in UFO research during this period (See Above Top Secret), it may be concluded this was a site of major UFO research likely including that of a parapsychological nature]. Carmel is located on California’s Monterey Peninsula, home also since WWII to the U.S. Navy’s Naval Postgraduate School housed in Carmel’s former and famous Del Monte Hotel visited by presidents, power brokers and celebrities 735

including President Theodore Roosevelt and actress Jean Harlow [one of Charlie Chaplin’s leading ladies]. Monterey Peninsula has long played host to various artist colonies. One of the earliest Bohemian magic-practicing artists to settle therein was French painter/Harper’s Magazine illustrator Jules Tavernier [an associate of Oscar Wilde whose wife Constance was along with British spy Aleister Crowley a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] who arrived in 1875 A.D. and whose student, impressionist artist D. Howard Hitchcock was nephew of Edward Griffin Hitchcock [1837–1898 A.D.] who was married to Mary Tenney Castle [John Starr Cooke, who resided in Carmel on the Monterey Peninsula from 1958 – 1963 A.D., was her grandson], daughter of Castle & Cooke-founder Samuel Northrup Castle [a number of members of the Northrup family were members of Jack Parsons OTO lodge]. Tavernier served as an officer of the San Francisco Art Association and was himself a member of the Bohemian Club. Some very interesting facts indeed. For more information see: The Carmel Monterey Peninsula Art Colony: A History by Barbara J. Klein from which you’ll be happy to learn: “Today, the village of Carmel retains much of its original magic.” No doubt quite literally, along with a number of very powerful like-minded Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO practitioners of magic. As you can see, some things never change. Montery Peninsula was also home to a Bohemian artists colony located in the city of Monterey, CA, notable residents of which area have included writers Robert A. Heinlein, Jean Varda (whose house had served as a Parisian-style artists salon—Henry Miller once referred to Jean Varda as a ‘Master Builder’ which in Freemasonic magic circles denotes an adept magus), Varda’s magical friend Henry Miller (Henry Miller, a frequent visitor to Monterey, CA, resided for many years on the grounds of what would become the Esalen Institute with which he was also connected), Robinson Jeffers, John Steinbeck (it was Esalen Institute founder Michael Murphy’s grandfather, Dr. Henry Murphy, a Salinas physician who delivered John Steinbeck as a baby. Steinbeck himself was a member of the Order of DeMolay) and Ed Rickets, an associate of John Cage. Monterey, CA was the site of the Monterey Pop Festival held in 1967 A.D. in order to kick off ‘Summer of Love’ celebrations. Since 1958 A.D. Monterey has played host to the annual Beatnik-inspired Monterey Jazz Festival. Esalen Institute located at Big Sur is less than a half hour drive away from Monterey down Highway 1 located a mere 30 miles south of the Monterey Peninsula. Prior to its formal institution in 1962 A.D., Big Sur (site of the Esalen Institute) was home to a Bohemian artist’s community: “(Henry) Miller (beginning in 1943 A.D.) lived first in the log house near where the restaurant called Nepenthe (named after an Egyptian entheogenic 736

drug mentioned in Homer’s The Odyssee) now stands; the house was later sold to Orson Welles… Gradually some of Miller’s friends came to Big Sur… The area became known as an artists’ colony, a rural West Coast Greenwich Village. This reputation was helped along by a woman named Mildred Edie Brady (Brady wrote articles which also appeared in The New Republic which betrays her CIA associations, and it is also interesting to learn articles by Henry Miller also appear in The New Republic as well, made all the more interesting considering that one Henry Miller associate of note was British author Lawrence Durrell, an employee of the British Foreign Office which served as the forerunner of Britain’s MI6), who in 1947 wrote an article for Harper’s (magazine) entitled ‘The New Cult of Sex and Anarchy.’ The mecca for postwar Bohemian’s she reported, was the Big Sur country. She told about the shacks they lived in, their beards and sandals and tattered clothes, the abstract paintings on their walls, their parties and poetry reading sessions. Their philosophy, she wrote, was based on opposition to the traditional institutions of Western civilization—church, state and family—and it expressed itself in an erotic, sentimental mysticism (read: they practiced sex-magic)… The Bohemian philosophy combined mysticism (read: magic) with a profound distrust of government (they being professed anarchists) and an equally profound reverence for sex. The person they admired most of all, Mildred Brady reported, was Wilhelm Reich, the renegade psychiatrist who called the state a conspiracy against the healthy needs of the human body and the orgasm the supreme human experience (Wilhelm Reich was of the professional opinion that most neuroses could be traced to Judaeo-Christian sexual-repression).” – pp. 19-20 The Upstart Spring (“Standard reading” amongst this group, we are told in Brady’s article, included the works of Henry Miller as well as those of D.H. Lawrence, the poetry of mystic poet William Blake, the philosophy of Henri Bergson [the father-in-law of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master S.L. Macgregor Mathers/friend of Theosophical Society-member William James], the mysticism of G.I. Gurdjieff and his student P.D. Ouspensky as well as the astronomy of Henry Miller’s friend and fellow Theosophical Society-member Dane Rudyar—from such [Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO-associated] beginnings the Beat movement proper and the successive associated Hippie movement would themselves later take root). Big Sur in the days of Henry Miller’s magic-practicing Bohemian artists’ colony was the sight of a number of UFO sightings which no doubt put in an appearance in response to the group members’ magic rituals (occult practices and the UFO phenomenon as the reader will discover are intricately interconnected). These sightings are described in Henry Miller’s book Peace and Solitude: A Potpourri: “…it was at Anderson Creek that the first flying 737

saucer made its appearance in Big Sur. The chap who told me the story said it happened early one morning… It hovered close to shore, plainly visible, took off and returned two more times. Shortly after this two more sightings, one at dawn, another at twilight, were made by people staying at the sulphur baths (at Slate’s Hot Springs which would later become the Esalen Institute where UFO channeling sessions attempting to communicate through magical means of the occupants of such UFOs was to become a not uncommon occurence). Then one day my friend Walker Winslow (whose articles appear in Circle magazine) woke me up out of a sound sleep to witness a strange phenomenon just above the horizon, looking seaward. We observed the strange activity of what seemed like twin stars gyrating about an invisible pivot for about twenty minutes, after which the light grew too strong and it faded out. But it was reported—as a saucer phenomenon (a UFO sighting)— next day by the government (radar) station along the coast (Big Sur being the site of a U.S. Air Force missile tracking station located on Anderson Peak which was connected with the Vandenberg Air Force Base located in nearby Lompoc, CA). Soon thereafter a number of friends reported (flying) saucers, lights that followed their cars, and so on. None of them were drunks or dope fiends. Some of them were, or had been, downright sceptics about “this saucer business.” One of the most vivid accounts was given by Eric Barker, then living at the Hunt Ranch near the Little Sur. In broad daylight, about four in the afternoon, he saw six small disks flying above his head at a brisk but not phenomenal speed. They were going out to sea. Eric swore that they were not buzzards, balloons or meteorites. Moreover, he is definitely not the type that ‘sees things.’ A few weeks later a visitor from Carmel was witness to a similar phenomenon. She was so moved by the sight that she became almost hysterical. Tom Sawyer and Dorothy Weston reported lights dancing in front of their car on the way home from Monterey one night. The performance continued for over five minutes and was repeated subsequently. (Artist) Ephraim Doner, whose two feet are definitely planted in the earth, was escorted for over five miles by mysterious brilliant-colored lights one evening on leaving our home. His wife and daughter were with him and corroborated his words.” - Peace and Solitude: A Potpourri by Henry Miller. For an Air Force account of a Big Sur UFO sighting taking place in 1964 A.D. see FSR:1990/V35N2. For thast 50 years, the magical environs of Topanga Canyon have also been a UFO hotspot for flying saucer sightings [See UFOs Over Topanga Canyon by Preston E Dennett, 1999 A.D.])

Oddly enough, our story weaves its way from Conspiracy Theories to the pages of drug store dime novels and sci-fi pulp fiction magazines as it makes its way to the Hollywood big-screen: “Flying saucer mythology took hold in a big way in the 1950s, wrapped in gaudy pulp covers and flashed on movie screens. Jack Parsons, the CalTech rocket pioneer and high priest of the OTO’s Agape Lodge in Pasadena (Pasadena was a haven for retired Eastern 738

millionaires; the OTO had also thrived on the East Coast in New York City in Greenwich Village where Aleister Crowley first settled upon his arrival to the U.S., and in Chicago, Illinois as well)—and one of the first Americans to report a UFO sighting—was addicted to science fiction (many science fiction writers were to become members of Anton LaVey’s Order of the Trapezoid [established 1955 A.D.]. Members of the Order of the Trapezoid** [also known as The Magic Circle] would thereafter serve as the governing body of Anton LaVey’s later creation, the Church of Satan [See The Church of Satan: A Brief History by Blanche Barton, 2003 A.D.]. He (Jack Parsons) regularly attended meetings of the L.A. Fantasy and Science Fiction Society (established in 1934 A.D.; sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury joined in 1937 A.D. Aldous Huxley, who also wrote science fiction, was a friend of Ray Bradbury), where in 1945 the black (magick) adept (he took "the Oath of the Anti-Christ" [the oath of a Magister Templi/Master of the Temple] in 1949) met Lt. Commander L. Ron Hubbard (a Naval Intelligence officer), who made "alien" visitations an integral part of a religious doctrine he called Scientology.” - The OTO and the CIA: Ordis Templis Intelligentis by Alex Constantine. Of an interesting note, Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s novel The Coming Race (1871 A.D.) is cited as an early prototypical science-fiction work, and it is also noted Aldous Huxley is said to have bridged the gap between the formal literary establishment and the science-fiction scene with his science-fantasy novel entitled Brave New World (1932 A.D.). In fact, in the history of science-fiction, Theosophical Society-members Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jack London are likewise hailed as distinguished science-fiction writers. It is with these facts in mind that we discover that one of the most interesting recurring guests at Anton LaVey’s Satanic holiday parties was Forrest J Ackerman [Ackerman was a good friend of Anton LaVey; it was Ackerman himself who is credited with coining the term ‘sci-fi’], an early member of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society (also known as the L.A. Fantasy and Science Fiction Society; Sci-fi fan and OTO high-priest/rocket scientist Jack Parsons was in regular attendance at these meetings. According to Jet Propulsion Laboratory archivist John Bluth, many science fiction people were frequent visitors to Jack Parsons’ home [See p. 57 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D.] where Parsons was known to regularly hold his OTO magic ceremonies. In fact, Anton LaVey has publicly noted his own associations with known “Berkeley Thelemites,” Thelemites being OTO members by definition. One of the “Berkeley Thelemites” of which he speaks was Jack Parsons’ neighbor, the former Hollywood child actor Kenneth Anger (a film producer specializing in filmed documentary magic rituals, he filming the rituals he and his friends performed). LaVey himself had been attending meetings at the Berkeley lodge of the OTO (of which Kenneth Anger was a member) since 1951 A.D. (the first man to graduate from UCBerkeley with a degree in magic was Isaac Bonewits who was briefly a member of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan. Archdruid Bonewits was the founder of ADF: “Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship, Inc. (otherwise known simply as ADF) is a non-profit religious organization dedicated to the study and further development of modern, Neodruidism practice” (read: ancient Druidic magic practices). The annual ADF-associated Starwood Festival (held 1990-2009 A.D. at the Brushwood Folklore Center in New York, home of the “Sirius Rising Festival”), a magic gathering/occult workshops/music fest which has featured as speakers [amongst a wealth of Neopagan/Wiccan PhD. holders] Dr. Timothy Leary, Dr. Ralph Metzner (Metzner worked alongside Leary in Harvard MKULTRA research projects), Metzner-associate Terrence McKenna, Stanley Krippner, Wiccan Spiritualist Raymond Buckland (Buckland, who like so very many of the practitioners of magic in our story had served in the RAF, had originally been initiated into Wicca in 1963 A.D. by OTOmember Gerald B. Gardner and by Gardner’s initiate/High-Priestess Monique Wilson. A daughter of a French naval officer stationed in the Haiphong seaport in North Vietnam, Monique Wilson was the wife of an RAF officer who was also a Wiccan witch in Gerald B. Gardner’s coven. British witch Doreen Valiente in her book Natural Magic p.168 lists ‘East Anglia,’ home to Cambridge University and numerous RAF airbases, as “an area with strong associations with witchcraft.”), Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters/Youth International Party 739

(Yippies) member Paul Krassner, Nicki Scully [ex-wife of Rock Scully, former manager of The Grateful Dead], Aldous Huxley’s widow Laura Huxley, the duly recognized ‘Saint of Discordianism’ Robert Anton Wilson (Robert Anton Wilson counted William S. Burroughs and Alan Watts amongst his friends and was an associate of Timothy Leary, Paul Krassner, OTO leader Jack Parsons’ friend Grady McMurtry, Israel Regardie [See p.149 Crowley’s Apprentice] and renowned ufologist John A. Keel. A magic-practicing UFO contactee, Robert Anton Wilson describes his first UFO encounter in his book Cosmic Trigger pp.41-43. Should you the reader find this book at all enlightening, you will find Cosmic Trigger to be truly Illuminating—here is a man writing about his participation in and experiences with practices of the very things we have been discussing in this book, complete with Crowleyian magick, UFO sightings and otherworldly communications) and Church of All Worlds cofounder Oberon Zell-Ravenheart [creator of the Harry Potter/Hogwarts-inspired online school of magic called the Grey Scool of Wizardry]. The Church of All Worlds was created based on Robert A. Heinlein’s occult sci-fi classic Stranger in a Strange Land, the story of a man from Mars who comes to reside among the people of the Earth) (** “In the 1960s Anton LaVey formed a group called the Order of the Trapezoid, which later became the governing body of the Church of Satan. This group included: "The Baroness" (from Denmark) Carin de Plessen, (Anton LaVey’s ‘mentor’) Dr. Cecil Nixon, (OTO member and former Jack Parsons’ neighbor) Kenneth Anger, (San Francisco) City Assessor Russell Wolden (Jr., later sentenced to prison for corruption), Donald Werby (a wealthy San Francisco property owner), and Michael Harner (an associate of anthropologist/Shaman/author Carlos Casteneda, Harner himself would become famous in the 1970s for his writings on the subject of Shamanism). According to the Church of Satan historiography, other LaVey associates from this time [who were likely members of the Church of Satan as well] include noted Science Fiction and Horror writers Anthony Boucher, August Derleth, Robert Barbour Johnson, Reginald Bretnor, Emil Petaja, Stuart Palmer, Clark Ashton Smith, Forrest J Ackerman (Ackerman was for a time Jack Parson’s magic partner L. Ron Hubbard’s literary agent), and Fritz Leiber Jr. The Church of Satan was established at the so-called Black House in San Francisco, California, on Walpurgisnacht, April 30, 1966, by Anton Szandor LaVey, who was the Church’s High Priest until his death in 1997.” – Wikipedia: Church of Satan. Another Church of Satan member of note was actor Keenan Wynn who was the voice of the Winter Warlock in Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town (1970 A.D.); Keenan Wynn (son of former Ziegfried Follies star Ed Wynn [himself a son of Broadway/Hollywood silent film era actor Frank Keenan], the voice of the Mad Hatter in Disney’s Alice in Wonderland [1951 A.D.] who appears in a number of Disney film presentations. Ed Wynn was the star of The Ed Wynn Show amongst whose guest stars include Beverly Hillbillies star Buddy Epson [on whose show would appear OTO witch Sharon Tate] and the very witchy Gloria Swanson, an associate of actor John Barrymore who was himself a close friend of actor John Carradine, Carradine being a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge) also starred in a couple of Twilight Zone episodes (as has his father) and played in a number of Disney movies (both he and his father appear in Walt Disney’s The Absent Minded Professor [1961 A.D.]) during the 1960s and ’70s. As we learn from Church of Satan High-Priest Gavin Baddeley in his book entitled Lucifer Rising p.70: “The core of LaVey’s Magic Circle (itself a paranormal research organization) were an interesting diverse bunch. Policemen, lawyers and doctors mingled with European aristrocrats and property magnates (Church of Satan members also included Army Intelligence officers and Hollywood/Las Vegas entertainers; meanwhile across the pond: in the Swinging ’60s European aristocrats hobnobbed with entertainers, politicians and gangsters in London, one big happy, international, jet-setting family)… Prominent among members of LaVey’s Magic Circle was Berkeley Thelemite Kenneth Anger, who became a close friend (the two for a time even lived together), and horror and science fiction authors identified with the pulp magazine Weird Tales (a number of contributors to Weird Tales magazine including H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, August Derleth and Robert E. Howard had had earlier associations with Christine Campbell Thomson [alias Christine Hartley], a member of Dion Fortune’s Society of 740

the Inner Light [an offshoot of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Stella Matutina], being contributing authors to Thomson’s Not At Night horror story anthologies, the 12 novels of which were published from 1925-1937 A.D. through the efforts of the Curtis Brown literary agency in London where Thomson was employed as a literary agent [another Weird Tales magazine contributor, horror author Elliott O’Donnell, was known to have been directly associated with Dione Fortune as had Foyle’s bookshop owner Christina Foyle, owner of W & G Foyle Ltd., a famous West End London bookstore (See 2000 A.D. Intro to the reprint of Dione Fortune’s book Applied Magic) whose literary friends included D.H. Lawrence, J.B. Priestly, H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw]. Curtis Brown serviced authors including D.H. Lawrence and British Prime Ministers David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill and was instrumental in establishing the reputations of several British and American authors including [author/Warner Bros.© scriptwriter] William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, Norman Mailer [a friend of Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger], Angus Wilson, Isaiah Berlin [a friend of Stephen Spender, an associate of British spy Aleister Crowley’s associate W.B. Yeats, a one-time Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn], Ian Fleming [an associate of Stephen Spender, British spy/author Ian Fleming is purported to have been Aleister Crowley’s case officer during WWII], John le Carre, A.A. Milne and Lawrence Durrell [all authors associated with British and American Intelligence establishments], British Labour Party politician Tony Benn and Vita Sackville-West, a member of the Bloomsbury group and a friend/lover of Virginia Woolf whose husband British diplomat/Labour Party politician Harold Nicolson was an intimate friend of Prime Ministers Ramsay McDonald and David Lloyd George)… LaVey had been a long-time fan of Weird Tales.” As LaVey himself explains: “Many members of [H.P.] Lovecraft’s Weird Tales circle became friends or attended my seminars and meets [it was also at one of these seminars/meets at which Manson Family members Susan Atkins and Bobby Beausoleil first met]. I saw Clark Ashton Smith on a regular basis… Then there was Fritz Leiber [Jr., son of Hollywood RKO/Warner Bros.© actor Fritz Leiber, Sr.] and [German-Jewish author] Robert Bloch [author of Psycho] [he also notably penned three scripts for the Star Trek television series and was the screenwriter for the 1967 A.D. British horror film Torture Garden in which appears Batman star Burgess ‘the Penguin’ Meredith. Robert Bloch would also write the script for Curtis Harrington’s films The Cat Creature and The Dead Don’t Die (Curtis Harrington was a magic initiate of Aleister Crowley’s disciple, actress Jane Wolf)], and August Derleth, of course, who became Lovecraft’s champion after he died. He was involved with my magical meetings in the early days, back in ’65-’66…” – Ibid pp.76-7). Forrest J Ackerman was also an attendee of LaVey’s Magic Circle meetings there in San Francisco. During the early 1960s at which time these authors were active members of LaVey’s Magic Circle, Arrow Books’ paperback reprints of Thomson’s Not at Night compilations would emerge which is of itself a significant fact as it was Arrow Books which published British spy/author Dennis Wheatley’s A Black Magic Magic Story series of paperback books during the 1960s and 1970s as well. During WWII, Dennis Wheatley, a friend of Aleister Crowley, had served in the SOE under the command of British P.M. Winston Churchill. Arrow Books along with Virginia Woolf’s Hogarth Press, Jonathan Cape and Chatto & Windus [all publishing houses with American and British Intelligence associations] would all be gathered into the very same fold under the Random House publisher’s umbrella) Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey, a fan of horror and science fiction stories, had been in correspondence with OTO-member Jack Parsons since the late 1940s (See Black Sun, Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity by Goodrick-Clark), and as previously noted, Anton LaVey’s friend and Church of Satan member Kenneth Anger lived next door to Jack Parsons as a child (Anton LaVey, Kenneth Anger and Jack Parsons were all known to have attended Samson De Brier’s magic salon as well). Jack Parsons was in regular contact with Aleister Crowley, and Anton LaVey has admitted to have ordered a number of Aleister Crowley’s magic books from Jack Parsons himself. This was quite the magic circle. As we learn from Wikipedia, at one point: “(Forest J) Ackerman invited (sci-fi writer 741

Aldous Huxley’s friend) Ray Bradbury to attend the Los Angeles Chapter of the Science Fiction League, then meeting weekly at Clifton’s Cafeteria** in downtown Los Angeles. The club changed its name to the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society during the period it was meeting at the restaurant…Among the writers frequenting the club were (Laurel Canyon resident) Robert A. Heinlein (a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis [read: a member of Naval Intelligence, duly recognized or not. As we learn from Barefaced Messiah: “While he (L. Ron Hubbard) was at Princeton (during a four-month course in ‘Military Government’ at the Naval Training School, Princeton), (L.)Ron (Hubbard) was invited to join a group of science-fiction writers who met every weekend at Robert Heinlein’s apartment in Philadelphia to discuss possible ways of countering the Kamikaze menace in the Pacific. They were semi-official, brainstorming sessions that Heinlein had been asked to organize by the Navy.”], a friend of Jack Parsons, Heinlein wrote a book entitled Waldo about a society in which all the magick arts have gained scientific acceptance [remember, physics = natural magic and science itself is rooted in magic] having become a part of everybody’s daily lives [which ‘fantasy’ this group was working to make a reality and has in fact succeeded—the day has certainly dawned, as prophesied in Art Magic: “…when the magic of the ancients will be the Science of the moderns…” As occultist Colin Wilson points out concerning the enchanted lives we lead today within our magically-created high-tech society in his book Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast p.160: “…there is an element of natural magic about everyday living. We are all apprentice magicians.”], and his book Stranger in a Strange Land was the first sci-fi novel to reach the New York Times best-seller list and is considered to be a countercultural classic. Robert Heinlein was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO Agape Lodge [of which L. Ron Hubbard was a member] and one of the preeminent science fiction writers of his time and was a lifelong member of the International Fortean Organization [IFO]; the Anton LaVey-associated ufologist John A. Keel was also a member of the IFO. Tellingly enough: “Ed Sanders has written, in The Family, that the book [Stranger in a Strange Land] ‘helped provide a theoretical basis for Manson’s family.’ Charlie [himself an alleged member of the OTO] frequently used [Stranger in a] Strange Land terminology when addressing his flock and he named his first Family-born son Valentine Michael Manson, in honor of the book’s lead character” [See pp.32-33 The Family by Ed Sanders]. – Inside the LC), Emil Petaja (Petaja was a friend of H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury; “As chairman of the Golden Gate Futurians [many Futurians were also members of the American Communist Party] – an informal club for writers and fans – Petaja hosted meetings for friends and colleagues at his home in the Castro neighborhood [neighboring upon the Haight-Ashbury district] of San Francisco. Among the regular attendees were local noted authors like Fritz Leiber (considered to be one of the fathers of the ‘Sword and Sorcery’ fantasy genre), Avram Davidson (member of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers’ Guild of America) and E. Hoffmann Price (a Buddhist who collaborated with H.P. Lovecraft [Lovecraft’s writings abound with Theosophical and magical themes] on Through the Gates of the Silver Key; Price was a friend of Clark Ashton Smith, a member of the “Lovecraft Circle” and friend of Theosophical Society/Bohemian Grove-member Jack London’s friend, George Sterling, the Bohemian Club member known as the Uncrowned King of Bohemia. Note well this Church of Satan/Bohemian Club/Bohemian Grove link) [And, as it turns out, Anton LaVey was also a personal friend of Clark Ashton Smith. See Anton Szandor LaVey: A Biographical Sketch by Magus Peter H. Gilmore, © 2003)]. Writers and editors who might be visiting from out of town – such as (Futurians co-founder) Donald Wollheim (Donald Wollheim was editor of Avon Books which published the works of authors including H.P. Lovecraft and C.S. Lewis [Famous Inkling C.S. Lewis was also a science-fiction writer authoring three such books known as The Space Trilogy; it was the Avon Books publishing house which published Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Bible in 1969 A.D. Avon Books is connected to Berkeley Books which is connected to British publisher G.P. Putnam/G.P. Putnam’s Sons which published books penned on the subject of magic such as University of Virginia Prof. M. Schele de Vere’s Modern Magic (1873 A.D.) as well as books authored by Robert A. Heinlein, President 742

Theodore Roosevelt (President Theodore Roosevelt’s own vice-president, Charles W. Fairbanks, was a former reporter for Horace Greeley [he notably enough covered Horace Greeley’s 1872 A.D. presidential campaign], leader of the Carbonari Young America Youth Movement group. Charles W. Fairbanks traces his ancestry back to the Puritan followers of Oliver Cromwell), Walt Whitman, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.’s friend Charles Lindbergh and the Sage of Chelsea, Thomas Carlyle, whose home had served as the main British base of operations for Carbonari-member/Youth Movement-founder Giuseppe Mazzini, a collective group whose sons and grandsons to quote a phrase from Thomas Carlyle himself “persist in the enterprise” the Carbonari themselves have launched]. He later served as publisher for Ace Books [Ace Books was where worked Allen Ginsberg’s friend Carl Solomon, and Solomon connects to Henry Miller and Co. through amongst others poet/artist Gerd Stern who had served as Ace Books’ somewhat informal West Coast rep. Gerd Stern was an associate of San Francisco Chronicle newsman Lucius Beebe and was a good friend of San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen. Gerd Stern also worked closely with Timothy Leary. Stern, Solomon and Ginsberg had all been committed to the Columbia University-associated Psychiatric Institute at New York Presbyterian Hospital where the three amigos would initially meet and later remain friends], who published J.R.R.

Tolkien, a member of British Intelligence, was a close friend of C.S. Lewis], or Harlan Ellison – would also attend and there, have a chance to meet local figures like the Satanist Anton LaVey [a former San Francisco Chronicle employee] or the film maker Kenneth Anger (both individuals associated with the Church of Satan). Petaja enjoyed the company of other writers and artists, and was acquainted with a number of individuals who lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, such as Warren Hinkle (his upstairs neighbor), Anthony Boucher [a one-time San Francisco Chronicle employee], Frank M. Robinson, Poul Anderson [sci-fi author/founding-member of both the Society for Creative Anachronisms and of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers’ Guild of America], Philip K. Dick [UFO contactee Philip K. Dick was a friend of the very controversial Bishop Pike and an associate of Robert Anton Wilson] and Robert A. Heinlein.” - Wikipedia), Fredric Brown, Henry Kuttner (Kuttner was known for his literary prose and worked in close collaboration with his wife, C.L. Moore. They met through their association with the ‘Lovecraft Circle,’ a group of writers and fans who regularly corresponded with H.P. Lovecraft. Kuttner was also a friend of Clark Ashton Smith who was a friend of Theosophical Society/Bohemian Grove-member Jack London’s friend George Sterling, the Bohemian Club member known as the Uncrowned King of Bohemia), Leigh Brackett (Leigh Bracket worked on the screenplay for Theosophical Society-member George Lucas’ The Empire Strikes Back; George Lucas was one of the cameramen who filmed The Rolling Stones’ Altamont Free Concert; Altamont concert footage was included in the 1970 A.D. Stones documentary/snuff film Gimme Shelter. George Lucas’ directorial debut was in a Francis Ford Coppola-produced sci-fi film entitled THX 1138 [1971 A.D. starring Robert Duvall], filmed largely in the San Francisco area and distributed by Warner Bros.©), and Jack Williamson (Jack Williamson was also one of the people who “…went to [Jack] Parsons’ house for one of the afternoon meetings of [sci-fi] fans and writers that Parsons sponsored every week.” - Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D.). Bradbury often attended meetings with his friend Ray Harryhausen; the two Rays had been introduced to each other by (Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey’s friend Forrest J) Ackerman. With $90 from Ackerman, Bradbury launched a fanzine, Futuria Fantasia, in 1939…He (Forrest J Ackerman) knew most of the writers of science fiction in the first half of the twentieth-century (most of whom were also associated with Jack Parsons). As a literary agent (amongst whose clients was Jack Pasrons’ magic partner L. Ron Hubbard), he represented some 200 writers, and he served as agent of record for many long lost authors, thereby allowing their work to be reprinted in anthologies…Ackerman was credited with nurturing and even inspiring the careers of several early contemporaries 743

Yeats], and of Greenwich Village editor Guido Bruno who was a close associate of Frank Harris who was a close associate of British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member/OTO-member Aleister Crowley. Frank Harris was editor for the London Saturday Review for which British Intelligence head H.G.

This was known as the Order of the O. T. O. ...” – Miskatonic Books. Crowley would later reside for a time in Pasadena, CA, there establishing the OTO lodge headed by Jack Parsons). Hollywood Hellfire Club-member/Bundy Drive Boy John Carradine, it must be noted at this point, was a member of sci-fi fan Jack Parsons’ OTO Agape Lodge No. 2 established 1935 A.D. in Pasadena, CA, at which inauguration actor John Carradine himself was present. Jack Parsons himself communicated regularly with OTO-member Aleister Crowley), (professed neopagan) Marion Zimmer Bradley ([she attended UCBerkeley from 1965-1967 A.D.] a member of the innocuous sounding Society for Creative Anachronisms organization founded in 1966 A.D.

Ron Hubbard” (for whom Ackerman served as literary agent). (Many of the aforementioned people central to our story, it should be noted, have high-level military, naval and State Department/Intelligence agency backgrounds and associations. Parsons’ war-time work at Aerojet, a company involved in many top-secret governmental research projects, was classified, bringing him into contact with many Army, Navy and Air Force brass/Intelligence types, not the least notable of which was Navy Intelligence officer L. Ron Hubbard with whom he performed his infamous ‘Babylon Working’ black magic (sex-magic) ritual. L. Ron Hubbard lived with Parsons in Parsons’ California home (which also doubled as an OTO Lodge/science-fiction club meeting place and where many of his scientific associates [including many nuclear physicists who lived with him there, a number of which were at the time working on the super-secretive Manhattan Project, including Robert A. Heinlein’s friend Robert Cornog to whom Heinlein had dedicated his novel Stranger in a Strange Land] as well as doctors, lawyers, famous Hollywood actors and even a Pasadena bank president were also likewise regulars), and it is interesting to note some important associations there-involved: “The (Jack) Parsons’ circle included not only a circuit connecting (L. Ron) Hubbard (a Naval Intelligence agent) and (Aleister) Crowley (a British spy) but also linking Crowley to (H.P.) Lovecraft, whom (L. Ron) Hubbard had met through Lovecraft biographer Frank Belknap Long… In addition, Hubbard and Parsons associated with people in Pasadena who had met Clark Ashton Smith, one of Lovecraft’s regular correspondents, as well as of Crowley’s ‘inner circle’ … A reporter named Nieson Himmel also lived in the house (in Jack Parsons’ commune-like palatial residence which he had subdivided into 19 different apartments dubbing it the Parsonage), sharing a room with (L. Ron) Hubbard… Himmel went on to a long career in crime writing and personally knew several mob bosses, including Bugsy Siegel and Mickey Cohen.” – pp. 102,103,104 Sex and Rockets) (As we learn from Craig Heimbichner in Blood on the Altar p.121,122: “His [Jack Parsons’ OTO] Agape Lodge was affiliated with many Hollywood writers and actors, including John Carradine, father of David Carradine [David Carradine’s wife Annie Bierman is a member of L. Ron Hubbard’s Church of Scientology with close ties to its leaders. L. Ron Hubbard you will recall was a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge], drugged-out star of [Warner Bros.©’s Buddhist-themed Western television show] ‘Kung Fu’ and the cinematic blood-geyser ‘Kill Bill’ [directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Timothy Leary’s goddaughter Uma Thurman. Quentin Tarantino’s film Natural Born Killers would be produced by Israeli spy Arnon Milchan whose film production company Regency Enterprises was 50% owned by Warner Bros.©]. The elder Carradine read one of Crowley’s poems at the inauguration of [OTO] Agape Lodge No. 2 in 1935. Dennis Hopper, later to splatter the screen in ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,’ acted with Parsons’ Scarlet Woman [by definition a woman with whom he worked his Sex-Magick ceremonies], [Marjorie] Cameron, who also knew Dean Stockwell [Dean Stockwell, also a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO Agape Lodge, played in the Hollywood musical Anchors Aweigh alongside Frank Sinatra (Another actor of note who appeared in Anchors Aweigh was Gene Kelly. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Kelly was a major financial supporter of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), and he left thousands of pounds to NORAID in his will.”). Dennis Hopper, Dean Stockwell and Marjorie Cameron were even roommates for a time. Marjorie Cameron would appear with Dennis Hopper in the 1961 A.D. horror film Night Tide. At this time she was also contributing to and receiving Semina magazines from her Kabalist friend Wallace Berman]. Filmmaker [and Anton LaVey associate/Church of Satan/OTO member] Kenneth Anger, author and producer of the Hollywood Babylon books, was a devoted Thelemite [by definition an OTO member and follower of Aleister Crowley] (The Kenneth Anger and Marjorie Cameron-associated Renate 745

Renate Druks was also a member of Swami Prabhavananda’s ashram/commune in Hollywood, CA [See p.232 Turn Off Your Mind], as was Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard. As Kenneth Anger himself relates in Lucifer Rising [p.52], he met Jane Wolfe himself when: “…she was an old lady living in retirement in Hollywood.”)…Parsons, who frequented a Communist cell [Parson’s business partner Frank Malina was communist, as was another member of his rocketry team, Tsien Hsue-shen (a descendent of 10th Century Chinese emperor Qian Liu Tsien), who during the Red Scare of the 1950s was effectively forced back to China after a lengthly house arrest there to become the ‘Father of Chinese Rocketry’], attempted to produce a ‘moonchild’ or demonic homunculus in the womb of his Scarlet Woman [in the realm of magic, the ideal Scarlet Woman is a red head, with red hair being a prominent Irish trait], Marjorie Cameron [Cameron’s brother, sister and father were, like Jack Parsons, all employed by JPL which was engaged in top secret governmental work during World War II; Marjorie Cameron at one point had been in the Navy and worked for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and had associations with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, all of which would, one should think, brand her as being a member of Naval Intelligence]…This Babylon Working also included the cooperation of science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, who worked for US Naval Intelligence and founded the Church of Scientology, an institutionalized and bureaucratic form of Crowleyanity.” Interestingly enough: “One other person [Jack] Parsons met at the LASFS [Los Angeles Science Fiction Society] was Grady McMurtry, who later became Frater Hymenaeus Alpha [Parsons’ superior in the OTO] and was Karl Germer’s successor as Outer Head of the OTO, running the Order until his death in 1985.” – p.60 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D. Jack Parsons also supported OTO activities regularly by sending money to Aleister Crowley via Karl Germer [Ibid p.86], Parsons being in direct regular contact with British spy Aleister Crowley) (**Clifton’s Cafetaria, as we learn from CliftonsCafetaria.com, has a very storied history: “Built a full twenty years before Disneyland, Clifton’s legendary Cafeteria [located in Los Angeles, CA] served as the inspiration [or rather, was a common denominator] for many visionaries. From Walt Disney himself to Ray Bradbury, Jack Kerouac, Robert A. Heinlein, Ray Harryhausen (a friend of Ray Bradbury and Anton LaVey’s friend Forest J Ackerman; Ray Harryhausen once worked for Hammer Film Productions, a British Intelligence front company [it was Hammer Films which released The Devil Rides Out (1968 A.D.) starring British spy Christopher Lee based on the novel by the same name authored by British spy Dennis Wheatley, the story of a London devil worshipping cult]) and Jerry Leiber (who worked as a dishwasher in the basement where he had the inspiration to write such classics as Stand By Me, Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock) [Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock were songs covered by Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley], and so many more—Clifton’s has left an indelible and unsurpassed mark on Popular Culture. Serving artists, families and a vast community of guests since the depths of the Great Depression, Clifton’s has weathered good times and bad. It is our honor to prepare Clifton’s for another 75 years.” A very interesting common denominator indeed—one wonders if America as a democracy could weather another such 75 years. The Los Angeles Science Fiction Society [of which OTO-members Jack Parsons and Grady McMurtry were also themselves members] met for years at this very restaurant).

The Beat generation, the mafia, the OTO, the CIA, the ’60s counter-culture movement and the L.A. artistic scene all meet together in the form of Michael Bowen and Co.: “Michael Bowen** was born December 8, 1937, in Beverly Hills to Grace and Sterling Bowen, a Hollywood dentist. His mother’s 746

lover, Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel, affectionately known as Uncle Benjie to Michael, would often take the youthful Bowen to not only the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas that he created, but also to the Sir Francis Drake Hotel (the 12th World Science Fiction Convention was held there in 1954 A.D.) near Union Square in downtown San Francisco. Bowen’s early romance with San Francisco established this city as his home base from which he would frequently travel to other places in the world. He started his art career at age 17, when he joined the American installation artist Ed Kienholz (an artist who had previously studied at The New School for Social Research in Greenwich Village) in his Los Angeles studio (the legendary Ferus Gallery, established 1957 A.D., which featured original artwork by both West Coast and East Coast artists including Andy Warhol and Wallace Berman [as some of his artwork and photographs border upon the pornographic, Wallace Berman’s first commercial show here at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1957 A.D. would result in his arrest and conviction on obscenity charges] and various other Chouinard Art Institute trained artists [faculty and students at the Chouinard Art Institute included many Disney animation artists employed by the Walt Disney© corporation; many of its students would go on to become animators, T.V. and movie set decorators, costume designers, etc. as well as formal artists].

Puthoff: “…co-founders of a 23-year, $25-million program of [remote viewing] research into psychic abilities and their operational use for the U.S. intelligence community, including the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and Army Intelligence…” This was formally a part of the ‘Stargate Project,’ many of the project participants of which hailed from the ranks of L. Ron Hubbard’s Church of Scientology and which included experiments carried out in places including SRI, Inc. in California and at the American Society for Psychical Research in New York [for additional information on this subject see The Stargate Conspiracy by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, 1999 A.D.]. Russell Targ was also known for his parapsychology lectures given at the CIA-associated Esalen Institute). There he (Michael Bowman, whose mother had been romantically involved with mobster Bugsy Siegel) met and joined with other influential Beat Generation artists including Wallace Berman (and presumably, Wallace Berman relates to Bugsy Siegel’s Hotel Flamingo business-partner-in-crime, mobster David Berman),** John Altoon, and (OTO-member/Hollywood actor/artist/filmmaker) Dennis Hopper.” – Wikipedia: The Royal Maze: Michael Bowen (** “[Wallace] Berman sought influence in not only those of his Beat circle, but in Surrealism and Dada as well as the Kabbalah. The influence of Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism is seen in his collages… His involvement with the jazz scene [as Beat poetry readings were typically recited to live jazz accompaniment] allowed him opportunities to work with jazz musicians, creating bebop album covers [beginning in 1947 A.D.] for Charlie Parker [who played with jazz legend Dizzie Gilespie whom Beat poet Allen Ginsberg had famously turned on to psilocybin]. His mail art publication, Semina, was a series of folio packages that were limited edition and sent or given to his friends [a group which included Jack Parsons’ widow Marjorie Cameron who appears on the cover of Wallace Berman’s very first issue of Semina magazine]. Semina consisted of collages mixed with poetry by writers Michael McClure, Philip Lamantia, David Meltzer [a Kabalist scholar and jazz guitarist], Charles Bukowski [a poet with ties to Theosophical Society-member 748

Actor David Carradine is also John Carradine’s son. It is quite possible Michael Bowen is related to the Dublin-born Irish author Elizabeth Bowen, a Bloomsbury Group socialite whose friends included British spymaster John Buchan. During WWII Elizabeth Bowen worked in an Intelligence capacity within Britain’s Ministry of Information. Amongst Elizabeth Bowen’s closest friends was British author Rose Macaulay who herself had served in the British Ministry of Information’s Propaganda Department under John Buchan during WWI.

It was with one of the commanders of the Italian Resistance during WWII, Raffaele Cadorna, Jr., grandson of the Carbonari General Raffaele Cadorna, the general who had lead the invasion of the Papal States whose capture of Rome in 1870 A.D. completed the unification of Italy, who would work with Allied [Carbonari] forces during Operation Underworld in cooperation with SOE Intelligence agents Oliver Churchill and his brothers Peter Churchill and Walter Churchill, the SOE being under the covert command of their brother, British P.M. Winston Churchill. Ensconced within the SOE itself [alongside numerous practitioners of black magic including Dennis Wheatley] was the Ministry of Economic Warfare [MEW] headed at various times by leading Labour Party politician Lord Hugh Dalton and British banker Roundell Palmer, 3rd Earl of Selborne who was married to the daughter of Sir Robert Cecil [and doubtless this was one of the “black magic centers whose aim is political and financial intrigue” as described by Dennis 750

The MEW partnered with the United States’ Board of Economic Warfare/Office of Economic Warfare [during WWII Buckminster Fuller served in the BEW, an agency devoted to industrial espionage] including the Petroleum Reserves Corporation which secretly though unsuccessfully attempted to nationalize private American oil interests. It was at the Yalta Conference in 1945 A.D. that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had secured exclusive rights for Rockefeller-group oil companies to market Saudi Arabia’s oil reserves thus officially launching the so-called U.S. “petrodollar” era) (**Thomas E.

Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was a major financier for E.H. Harriman’s railroad operations (See pp.549-550 Treason in America). E.H. Harriman was W. Averell Harriman’s father—the younger Harriman would become a partner with Prescott Bush in Brown Brother’s Harriman. Prescott Bush’s son, George H.W. Bush [the Bush and Delano Roosevelt family’s are in fact distantly related], was a former Navy airman who would serve in the CIA being eventually appointed Director of Central Intelligence, the head of the CIA itself [serving from 1976-1977 A.D.]. It is interesting to note that a CIA officer named Richard Lehman had served as Deputy to the DCI under George H.W. Bush from 1976-1977 A.D., a fact made all the more interesting seeing as how Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had merged with Lehman Bros. a year earlier in 1975 A.D. (originally founded by Bavarian immigrants, Lehman Bros. [no doubt as part of a later SOE/Ministry of Economic Warfare-associated operation] would engineer the 2008 A.D. financial crash in America thereby bringing America to its economic knees [this attack would be followed up by the U.S. economy shaking MF Global fiasco [MF Global was a British-owned financial services firm/primary dealer of U.S. Treasury securities headquarted in New York City] in 2011 A.D. perpetrated by former Goldman Sachs executive John Corzine]). Sir William Wiseman was himself a British Intelligence agent under the command of SIS [MI6] director Mansfield Smith-Cumming. Wiseman had also been a mentor to spy chief/Camp X-founder William Stephenson who served as P.M. Winston Churchill’s personal representative to President Franklin D. Roosevelt (the MKULTRA-associated agent George Hunter White was himself trained at Stephenson’s Camp X—George Hunter White worked with both Captain Al Hubbard [a former high-ranking OSS officer] and the black magic CIA sorcerer Dr. Sidney Gottlieb during operation MKULTRA which itself was instituted by DCI Allen Dulles. Working on MKULTRA subprojects, George Hunter White partnered with members of the Mafia and this in an official capacity, an outgrowth of these groups collaborative efforts during Operation Underworld). British superspy William Stephenson was himself a good friend of William J. ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan [a Wall Street lawyer who served as United States Attorney for the Western District of New York (1922-1924 A.D.) and as a deputy assistant to the Attorney General in the United States Department of Justice Anti-Trust Division who was defeated by Herbert H. Lehman for the governorship of N.Y. in 1932 A.D. William J. ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan was a personal friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt] who had worked to form the OSS [in charge of which Donovan placed Allen Dulles who would himself institute MKULTRA] which group would later in 1947 A.D. become the CIA [Allen Dulles hails from a prominent immigrant family whose forebears were British East India Company officials headquartered in Bombay, India, which largely derived their fortune through the Chinese opium trade (See p.272 Treason in America)]. It was Allen Dulles who in 1954 A.D. named James Jesus Angleton head of his Counterintelligence Staff: “James Jesus Angleton (December 9, 1917 – May 12, 1987) was chief of the CIA’s counterintelligence (CI) staff from 1954 to 1975 (serving under no less than six CIA directors beginning with Allen Dulles)… Angleton spent much of his youth in Milan, Italy, where his family moved after his father (James Hugh Angleton, who had worked for the OSS during World War II) bought NCR’s (NCR Corporation’s) Italian subsidiary, then studied as a boarder at Malvern College in England, before going to Yale (Angleton also briefly studied at Harvard). Angleton was a poet and, as a Yale undergraduate, editor, along with Reed Whittemore (under the tutelage of Professor Norman Holmes Pearson [Pearson was an important figure in the pre-war literary movement] who during WWII would run the OSS’s X-2 counterintelligence division in London [after the war he would return to his literary career (or, rather, he used it as ‘cover’ for his later CIA Intelligence endeavors) collaborating on various projects with his friend W.H. Auden. W.H. Auden was a friend of Christopher Isherwood (Isherwood was a known 752

associate of British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley. W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood had even co-published a book of poems entitled Journey to a War in 1939 A.D. [a classic example of British wartime propaganda] and W.H. Auden also personally knew Aldous Huxley who in turn connects to Aleister Crowley as well) and of poet/author Louis MacNiece (Louis MacNiece had worked with W.H Auden’s father and had personally known poet/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats), the importance of which facts cannot be overstressed. Auden, MacNiece and Isherwood along with English poet, Stephen Spender [Spender had ties to W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, Allen Ginsberg and to the Bloomsbury Group, most notably to Virginia Woolf. Stephen Spender’s friend Cyril Connelly is connected to British spy Ian Fleming through Queen Anne Press, a small private press for which Ian Fleming served as managing director—Connelly and Fleming even collaborated on a book entitled The Missing Diplomats (1952 A.D.). T.S. Eliot’s book A Presidential Address to the Members of the London Library (published 1952 A.D.; the name for the Queen Anne Press was derived from the fact Queen Anne’s Gate was where was located the offices of the British Secret Service) was also released through Queen Anne Press at this time thereby betraying his own Intelligence associations] were all part of the so-called Auden Group network of associated Oxford/Cambridge educated poets/writers/spies. During the 1940s and 1950s W.H. Auden, Gerald Heard, Stephen Spender, Aldous Huxley, and Christopher Isherwood were all part of the same poetry/magic/mysticism/spy group]. Beginning in 1943 A.D. James Angleton ran the OSS’s X-2 Italian desk where he served as a liason between the Allied British/American Intelligence services and the Italian Mafia and its American members [See The Mafia and the Allies: Sicily 1943 and the Return of the Mafia by Ezio Costanzo] during the ongoing efforts of Operation Underground), of the literary magazine Furioso, which published many of the best-known poets of the inter-war period, including William Carlos Williams (Williams was poet Allen Ginsberg’s ‘mentor’), E. E. Cummings (the American poet ‘e.e. cummings’ was a Harvard grad and Greenwich Village resident) and Ezra Pound (James Angleton and Ezra Pound were friends from college and Pound himself was a friend of W.B. Yeats, Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Ezra Pound and Williams Carlos Williams were also ‘lifelong’ friends. Another extremely notable friend of Ezra Pound was a N.Y. lawyer named John Quinn, a member of British Intelligence who had once secretly served as British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley’s case officer [See Secret Agent 666. With these facts in mind it is interesting to note that Aleister Crowley once worked with a Scarlet Women named Jeanne Robert Foster, an American poet/journalist/Vanity Fair© model and resident of Rochester, New York whose friend’s included Ford Madox Ford, Ezra Pound, and W.B. Yeats and who herself had worked personally with John Quinn (she also being notably enough a ‘close friend’ of Carbonari/Young Czech-member Thomas Masaryk [who served as an Allied spy during WWI as head of an Intelligence network composed of Young Czech revolutionaries], the first president of Czechoslovakia [she herself playing a role in the liberation of Czechoslovakia], a country established at the end of the WWI in 1918 A.D. and incorporating lands once constituting the Kingdom of Bohemia). Considering these associations, I believe without doubt that U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and CIAhead Allan Dulles are related in some way to Jeanne Robert Foster through her husband Matlock Foster and their grandfather, the President Ulysses S. Grant-connected Civil War U.S. Union Army colonel/U.S. Ambassador/U.S. Secretary of State John W. Foster]. John Quinn had also at various times served as legal council for Irish author James Joyce (Joyce was a known associate of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-members George William Russell and W.B. Yeats who along with Joyce were also members of the Dublin lodge of the Theosophical Society in Ireland) and T.S. Eliot (it would certainly appear that most if not all of the Modernist poets and writers within our story were in fact employed as Intelligence agents/spies/couriers/propagandists/agents of influence, and that such literary pursuits were used as covers for the various Intelligence projects in which they were engaged). And John Quinn too was a friend of W.B. Yeats (James Joyce, T.S. Eliot and W.B. Yeats were all as 753

must be noted, Theosophical Society members and Yeats and Crowley were high-level comembers of its magic practicing inner-circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. John Quinn was an associate of Irish rebel John Devoy [an associate of both James Stephens, an Irish Republican Brotherhood leader] and John Mitchel, a leading member in the Carbonari’s Young Ireland movement). He (James Angleton) carried on an extensive correspondence with Pound, Cummings and T. S. Eliot…(also) Beginning in 1951 Angleton was responsible for liaison with Israel’s Mossad and Shin Bet (Intelligence) agencies, ‘the Israeli desk,’ crucial relationships that he managed for the remainder of his career (until 1975 A.D.).” – Wikipedia: James Jesus Angleton. James Angleton also presided over a group of assassins tasked in the assassination of those individuals whose public trials would result in unwanted and potentially embarrassing Intelligence revelations. Another William J. Donovan associate of note was British Brigadier General Dudley Clarke (Clarke was a friend of the British Director General of Intelligence, Major General Sir Kenneth Strong who had served as Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence [G-2] at General [later President of the United States] Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Allied Force Headquarters during WWII), a British officer assigned to Palestine under the British Mandate. Dudley Clarke’s “favorite uncle was a chairman of the Magic Circle” [See p.257 Churchill’s Wizards by Nicholas Rankin] in London and his brother T.E.B. Clarke was a scriptwriter for the Rank Organization’s Ealing Studios group [which film production company the British Intelligence-associated Rank Organization had acquired in 1944 A.D. Dudley Clarke’s own Director of Camouflage (MI9) Geoffrey Barkas would go on to work as a filmmaker for the Rank Organization in the post-WWII period]. Dudley Clarke would also work closely with British spy John Bevin** of the London Controlling Section. All of these groups are Intelligence fronts and/or have Intelligence associations—spycraft is inherently hereditary in nature—multiple members spread amongst generations of single families being frequently involved therein) (Interestingly enough: “During World War II the U.S. Navy had built up a team of engineers to build codebreaking machinery for both Japanese and German electro-mechanical ciphers…With the post-war wind-down of military spending, the Navy grew increasingly worried that this team would break up and scatter into various companies, and it started looking for ways to covertly keep the team together.” –Wikipedia. The result of this Intelligence endeavor was the creation of Engineering Research Associates: “Engineering Research Associates, commonly known as ERA, was a pioneering computer firm from the 1950s. They became famous for their numerical computers, but as the market expanded they became better known for their drum memory systems. They were eventually purchased by Remington Rand and merged into their UNIVAC department. Many of the company founders (the afforementioned team of WWII Naval Intelligence engineers) later left to form Control Data Corporation.” – Wikipedia: “CDC was one of the nine major United States computer companies through most of the 1960s; the others were IBM, Burroughs Corporation, DEC, NCR, General Electric, Honeywell, RCA [the Radio Corporation of America, or RCA, was a corporation underwritten by Lehman Bros. bank and has its roots in the development of secure World War I Intelligence communications enabling covert communication between America’s various armed forces networks, these efforts being spearheaded by the United States Department of the Navy headed by the Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels whose close personal friend, future U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt served as Daniels’ Assistant Secretary of the Navy] and UNIVAC.” – Wikipedia. Each of these companies held lucrative government defense contracts ‘Top Secret’ in nature) (** Due to the fact that so many of the British witches and magicians within our story have been employed as British spies, it is interesting to note that famous British OTO witch Alex Sanders’ grandmother’s maiden name, the very person said to have first initiated Alex Sanders into witchcraft, was Mary Bevin [See Witchcraft p.177 by Hans Holzer], and quite possibly related to British spy John Bevin. Alex Sanders himself links to British spy/OTO head Aleister Crowley)

In occult L.A., all roads lead through the Hollywood mansion of the ‘celebrity warlock’ Arthur Jasmine, alias Sam(p)son De Brier. Samson** De Brier (think also: ‘Son of Sam’ cult; Samson De = Son of Sam) had himself been amongst the group of Theosophical Societyassociated practitioners of magic in post-WWI Paris who were associated with Gertrude Stein. De Brier had been a close intimate of filmmaker Jean Cocteau, a later friend of OTO-member/filmmaker Kenneth Anger (See The Los Angeles Times: Samson DeBrier; Hollywood Raconteur and Bon Vivant, 1995 A.D.): “Arthur Jasmine (April 4, 1899 – April 1, 1995), also known as Samson De Brier or Sampson De Brier, was an American film actor. He was born on 4 April 1899 in the U.S.A. at St. Paul, Minnesota. Beginning his career as a juvenile actor at Essanay Studios (originally founded in Chicago as the Peerless Film Manufacturing Company, Essanay was part of the “Edison Trust,” the Motion Picture Patents Company formed by Theosophical Society-member/inventor/filmmaker Thomas Edison [yes, that Thomas Edison], an entity later found to be in violation of American anti-trust laws in 1915 A.D. and subsequently dissolved thereafter) in Niles, California which was best known for Oddfellow-member Charlie Chaplin films (actress/witch Gloria Swanson had been a silent film actress at this company [she made her film debut as an extra in Essanay’s The Song of Soul (1914 A.D.)]. Gloria Swanson was an associate of actor John Barrymore who was a friend of actor John Carradine—Carradine was a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge, and Parsons’ was in direct contact with OTO-member Aleister Crowley [Charlie Chaplin, who had once famously carried on an affair with British P.M. Winston Churchill’s cousin, Clare Frewen Sheridan (a friend of actress Vivien Leigh), was himself a friend of Kenneth Anger’s patron J. Paul Getty (it was Getty who provided the funding for a number of Kenneth Anger’s films). Kenneth Anger was a close associate of Samson De Brier and of De Brier’s friend Jean Cocteau as well]; Hollywood gossip-columnist Louella Parsons had also been employed as a screenwriter there), Jasmine (Samson De Brier) appeared in 22 films between years 1915 and 1925 most notably in Alla Nazimova’s Salomé (1923) (a film adaptation of homosexual Irish author/poet/Theosophical Society-member Oscar Wilde’s play of the same name, Salomé was filmed with an all gay cast in homage to Oscar Wilde. Oscar Wilde was a staple of the West End/Mayfair stage in London who spent two years of his life in jail as a result of the homosexual trysts he carried on with male prostitutes. Actress Alla Nazimova, the owner of the infamous Garden of Alla Hotel, was former first lady Nancy Reagan’s godmother. Nancy Reagan [neѐ Davis], a former MGM contract actress, was the daughter of Broadway stage actress Edith Luckett Davis [amongst whose 755

friends was actor Walter Huston, father of Hollywood director John Huston, under whose command in General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit Edith Luckett Davis’s son-in-law, U.S. President Ronald Reagan, had served during WWII], Alla Nazimova herself being an intimate lover of Oscar Wilde’s niece Dolly Wilde who like many in our story had served as a Red Cross ambulance driver in Paris during WWI and who like Samson De Brier was also a denizen of the Paris salons which link to Gertrude Stein and to various individuals associated with Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawnmember Aleister Crowley [Oscar Wilde’s wife Constance had been a member along with Aleister Crowley of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order. Their son Vyvyan Holland (born Vyvyan Oscar Beresford Wilde), a WWI British army translator (and an associate of Samson De Brier magic salon attendee Aldous Huxley as well) who would serve as a translator/editor for the BBC during WWII, was married to Dorothy Thelma Helen Besant (the cosmetician creator of a camouflage cream for the British armed forces) who for 12 years served as royal beautician to Queen Elizabeth II (See Besant’s Obituary in The Independent newspaper [3/9/95]). It is possible she is related to Theosophical Society president Annie Besant]. Another of Dolly Wilde’s quite notable homosexual lesbian lovers was the Mayfair, London-born Standard Oil heiress Marion Barbara Carstairs [granddaughter of railroad man/Standard Oil founding partner Jabez A. Bostwick, business partner to John D. Rockefeller], a fellow WWI Red Cross ambulance driver with whom she had resided in Paris). After keeping out of the limelight for several years Jasmine took on the pseudonym Samson De Brier (sometimes cited as Sampson de Brier), and opened up an artist’s salon in Los Angeles, California [located at 6026 Barton Ave. in Los Angeles between Vine and El Centro, where De Briers resided for fifty years], in the early 1940s, attracting the likes of (OTO lodge leader) Jack Parsons, (Church of Satan-founder) Anton LaVey (note this association between the Church of Satan and the OTO), Ray Bradbury, (Church of Scientology-founder) L. Ron Hubbard, (Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey’s friend) Forrest J. Ackerman, and a teenaged Kenneth Anger (Church of Satan/OTO-member Kenneth Anger, known for his association with yet another denizen of the Paris salons, Jean Cocteau, was Jack Parsons’ neighbor. Other attendees of De Briers magic salon over the years included actors/actresses Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper [whose father, Jay Hopper, had been a member along with L. Ron Hubbard of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge founded by Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley], James Dean, Marlon Brando [a friend of filmmaker Donald Seaton Cammell whose father, British spy Charles Richard Cammell, was a friend of British spy Aleister Crowley], Steve McQueen [Both Steve McQueen and Dennis Hopper were friends of Church of Satan-member Jay Sebring (See ABC News: The Manson Slayings 35 Years Later, Aug. 9, 2004 756

A.D. movie M*A*S*H], Stanley Kubrick [whose film, Eyes Wide Shut (a 1999 A.D. Warner Bros.© release shot entirely in the UK at Pinewood Studios, a British Intelligence front organization), which features a real filmed Satanic magic ritual as practiced by super rich elitist families, quite likely echoes Kubrick’s own real life experiences], Tony Bill, Richard Burton [the family of Richard Burton’s second wife, the London-born actress Elizabeth Taylor [who appears in the Warner Bros.© distributed film Giant (1956 A.D.) alongside Carroll Baker, James Dean and Dennis Hopper], were close friends with British M.P. Colonel Victor Cazalet (Cazalet was Elizabeth Taylor’s godfather) who was himself a close friend to British P.M. Winston Churchill], Dorothy Parker [Dorothy Parker was also a member with Samson De Brier of Gertrude Stein’s post-WWI Parisian group], Igor Stravinsky [whose pagan magic-themed score Rite of Spring was employed in Walt Disney’s magic-themed animated film classic Fantasia (1940 A.D.); visitors to Igor Stravinsky’s Beverly Hills home have included W.H. Auden, Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood, Aleister Crowley’s homosexual sex-magic partner Dylan Thomas and Samson De Brier magic-salon attendee Aldous Huxley who himself has admitted to meeting Aleister Crowley], Kurt Weill and his actress wife, Lotte Lenya [both Igor Stravinky and Kurt Weill collaborated on projects with Berthold Brecht; Weill was amongst the group of German-Jewish individuals who had fled Nazi Germany in 1933 A.D. The Doors’ ‘Alabama Song’ released in 1966 A.D. was written by Weill/Brecht as originally performed by Lotte Lenya], [Henry Miller’s lover] Anaïs Nin, San Franciscan Human Be-In organizer Michael Bowen [Bowen, a collagist, known to have attended many De Brier magic gatherings as a teen, would marry OTO-member John Carradines ex-wife, actress Sonya Sorel], and T.V.s Vampira [James Dean’s close personal friend, Maila Nurmi from The Vampira Show (1955 – 1956 A.D.)]. Maila would co-star with Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 from Outer Space [filmed 1956, released 1959], a Z-movie Golden Turkey Award winner affectionately dubbed “the worst movie of all time.” Amongst Bela Lugosi’s most notable friends was horror aficionado Forrest J Ackerman, a good friend of Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey). In 1954 Jasmine (Samson De Brier) took part in (Kenneth) Anger’s ground-breaking independent film, Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome. It is alleged that Jasmine (Samson De Brier) helped Kenneth Anger compile his notorious books Hollywood Babylon and Hollywood Babylon 2.” – Wikipedia: Arthur Jasmine.

What attracted everyone to Samson De Brier’s magic salon was the fact that Samson De Brier was a real life witch. All of these people were 757

practitioners of magic and De Brier’s place likely contained an OTO temple or at the very least played host for many such OTO occult magic rituals, particularly in the period immediately following the death of Jack Parsons himself (Samson De Brier’s magic group was likely the notorious ‘Son of Sam Cult’ as well). Kenneth Anger (a former neighbor of Jack Parsons who at this time was a canvas painter whose paintings hung at De Brier’s magical art studio) lived with De Brier in De Brier’s Hollywood mansion—Anger’s film Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954 A.D.), co-starring Samson De Brier himself, Crowley-initiate Jack Parson’s widow/fellow witch Marjorie Cameron (Cameron was likewise an artist—to a witch, paintings are often magic talismans on canvas), occultist Anaïs Nin and her best friend painter/filmmaker Renate Druks (Renate Druks had studied magic under Crowley-initiate Jane Wolfe) and horror film director Curtis Harrington (Curtis Harrington also studied magic under Jane Wolfe; Jack Parsons’ widow Marjorie Cameron appears in Curtis Harrington’s 1956 A.D. underground film, The Wormwood Star—both Parson’s widow Marjorie Cameron and artist/actor Dennis Hopper, whose own father Jay Hopper had been a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge, would later co-star in Curtis Harrington’s horror film Night Tide in 1961 A.D. Curtis Harrington and Renate Druks would remain loyal friends for many decades thereafter), was filmed there at De Brier’s mansion in L.A. (as were the interior scenes from Kenneth Anger’s Puce Moment [circa 1949 A.D.]). Note all the people with OTO/Aleister Crowley connections/affiliations (Notable Internet Quote: “Several undergrounds intersected at the point where De Brier held court – not only the shadowy world of occult Hollywood, but the gay network, the drug scene, and who knows what else.”) What else? The shadowy Illuminati-connected Intelligence world, that’s what else. Note that many of these individuals as the reader shall later learn served as actors and directors for filmmaker Roger Corman (actor Dennis Hopper’s mentor Vincent Price would appear in numerous Roger Corman films as well. Dennis Hopper, Vincent Price [Price plays the Devil] and OTO-member John Carradine [along with the Marx Brothers in their only color film, Bewitched star Agnes Moorehead, everbodies favorite T.V. witch (she plays Queen Elizabeth I), Peter Lorre, Reginald Gardiner (who appears in a number of Charlie Chaplin films) and Sir Cedric Hardwicke (an associate of George Bernard Shaw for whom he performed in a variety of plays), an actor (best known for his performance as King Arthur [alongside Bing Crosby] in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court [1949 A.D.]) who served with Sir Henry Irving’s Lyceum Theatre (Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Bram Stoker served as business manager of Sir Henry Irving’s Lyceum Theatre for upwards of 20 years) who has been a member of Frank Benson’s touring company (Frank Benson was a former member of Sir Henry Irving’s touring company. As she notes in her book Diary of a Witch, celebrity witch 758

Sybil Leek’s father was a member of Frank Benson’s touring company as well. Sybil Leek personally knew Aleister Crowley as a child and was an associate of Aleister Crowley’s secretary Israel Regardie). Sir Cedric Hardwicke had acted at the Garrick Club theatre, a British Intelligence front company, as well] all appear together in the 1957 A.D. Warner Bros.© boxoffice flop The Story of Mankind [screenplay by Charles Bennett, a maker of propaganda films for the British Ministry of Information during WWII, and later Lost in Space television series creator/director Irwin Allen (Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey’s friend, ufologist John A. Keel, was a script writer for Lost in Space (a television program produced by Warner Bros.© producer Irwin Allen whose film credits include The Story of Makind [1957 A.D.] with John Carradine [a former member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge], Vincent Price and Dennis Hopper [whose father was also a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge] and The Big Circus [1959 A.D.] with Victor Mature and Hopper’s mentor Vincent Price) and one of the show’s stars, June Lockhart (daughter of the British Warner Bros.© actor Gene Lockhart who himself appears in a number of WWII Hal B. Wallis/Michael Curtiz government propaganda films), was known to have been mentored in witchcraft by the nominally famous L.A. witch Lady Sarah whose magical mentor was OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s former secretary Israel Regardie. OTO-member John Carradine guest stars alongside the very witchy June Lockhart in Lost in Space Episode 59 filmed in 1967 A.D.)]). Note this link to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and also the OTO link to the Church of Satan. Anton LaVey’s daughter Zeena along with her husband, Temple of Set-member Nikolas Schreck [the Temple of Set was founded by former Church of Satan high priest Michael A. Aquino], would later appear [with Renate Druks and Curtis Harrington] in Usher (2002 A.D.), Curtis Harrington’s final film (Samson De Brier was a mutual friend of both Zeena and Nikolas. Curtis Harrington had even introduced Samson De Brier to British author/screenwriter Gavin Lambert [Gavin Lambert would serve as the personal assistant to director Nicholas Ray, Nicholas Ray being famous for directing De Brier magic group attendee James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause] amongst whose college professors was C.S. Lewis [C.S. Lewis was an associate of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats]. C.S. Lewis had extensive British Intelligence/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn connections himself, the Golden Dawn being headed by Grand Master W.B. Yeats whom British spy/OTO-member Aleister Crowley also personally had known. Gavin Lambert was a good friend of Paul Bowles, a known associate of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood. All of these people it would appear were OTOaffiliated if not official card-carrying members of some sort of faction of Crowley’s own post-mortem OTO organization themselves). Another of Curtis Harrington’s mentors was an ‘avant-garde’ filmmaker named Maya 759

Deren, an initiated voodoo priestess who had attended: “…the League of Nations School in Geneva, Switzerland from 1930 to 1933 (The League of Nations would eventually morph into the United Nations under whose UNESCO umbrella would congregate so very many magic practicing groups. Geneva, the sacred city of the Calvinists, itself was a center of Enlightenment era thought where was located the illustrious University of Geneva: “The University of Geneva…is a public research university located in Geneva, Switzerland [whose notable alumni include British spy Ian Fleming whose father Valentine Fleming was a close personal friend of British P.M. Winston Churchill]. It was founded in 1559 by [Protestant reformer] John Calvin, as a theological seminary and law school [and as such it was a bastion of the Rosicrucian, anti-Catholic Church, Protestant Movement proper]. It remained focused on theology until the 17th century, when it became a center for Enlightenment scholarship [Enlightenment studies consisting of various types of magical/Cabalistic practices. Enlightenment science (the word ‘science’ as derived from the Old English word ‘sceadan’ [See ‘shed’]) was gleaned from the knowledge of the Shedim (aka the ‘shades’). Modern science is merely magic shorn of ritual].” – Wikipedia: University of Geneva). Deren began college at Syracuse University [in Syracuse, New York, located near Rochester, NY, ground zero of the Spiritualist Movement in America], where she became active in the Trotskyist Young People’s Socialist League (1907)…Deren not only filmed, recorded and photographed many hours of vodoun [magic] ritual, but also participated in the ceremonies. She documented her knowledge and experience of Vodoun** in Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti (New York: Vanguard Press, 1953), edited by Joseph Campbell…” (Joseph Cambell was himself an associate of Alan Watts) – Wikipedia: Maya Deren (** Notable Pertinent Quote: “All Vodoun cults, without exception, personify the Greatest Spirit in the Universe under the form of the Serpent [this serpent of course representing the Genesis serpent Azazel]…” – p.190 The Anatomy of Witchcraft by Peter Haining. Prior to embarking on her own personal Vodoun magic quest, Maya Deren would serve as personal assistant to the Chicago-born Guggenheim fellowship award winning anthropologist Katherine Dunham [any relation to Barack Obama’s mother, anthropologist Ann Dunham?]. Katherine Dunham had extensively studied Vodoun magic ritual in Haiti eventually becoming a full fledged Vodoun High-Priestess later incorporating Vodoun dance styles into a dance system she taught to others at her Katherine Dunham School of Dance and Theatre in New York City beginning in the late 1940s whose mystically inclined students included Hollywood stars James Dean, Marlon Brando, Shirley MacLaine and Shirley MacLaine’s brother Warren Beatty. A Broadway/Hollywood dancer/choreographer, Katherine Dunham appears in the Warner Bros.© short film Carnival of Rhythm (1941 A.D.), her dance troupe [which essentially performed staged Vodoun magic rituals] was managed in the 1940s by New York impressario Sol Hurok whose clients also included Aleister Crowley’s friend, dancer Isidora Duncan). Maya Deren has the dubious distinction of sharing

Cooke [nѐe Wilma Dorothy Vermilyea], one-time wife of ’60s counterculture personality John Star Cooke [John Star Cooke himself was a friend of Michael Bowen, an attendee of Samson De Brier’s magic salon] who himself hails from a family with a long-line of Theosophical Society members with connections to Madame Blavatsky and Annie Besant. Millen Cooke had a poem published in 1936 A.D. in Weird Tales magazine. From 1946 – 1950 A.D. her stories and essays appeared in Amazing Stories [the first sci-fi magazine which was from 1929 – 1938 A.D. edited by T. O’Connor Sloane: “Sloane’s son, John Eyre Sloane, an airplane factory owner, was married to (Theosophical Society-member) Thomas Alva Edison’s (yes, that Thomas Edison’s) daughter Madeleine in 1914; their four sons were Edison’s only grandchildren.” – Wikipedia. In 1938 A.D. Sloane was replaced in this position by a renowned Spiritualist named Raymond A. Palmer [“…an active presence in early science-fiction fandom…” (See p.39 Strange Skies by Jerome Clark)], a later co-founder of Fate magazine and a prominent figure on the UFO scene (he serving beginning in 1959 A.D. as publisher/editor of Flying Saucers from Other Worlds magazine)], Fantastic Fiction and Other Worlds Science Stories magazines. She was also associated with L. Ron Hubbard [L. Ron Hubbard was an attendee of Samson De Brier’s magic salon as well and would start a UFO religion of his own known as the Church of Scientology] whose ‘Dianetics’ first made an appearance in Astounding Science Fiction magazine in May 1950 A.D. and whose techniques she herself had mastered. One may in fact trace the genesis of LSD psychotherapy and the CIA’s MKULTRA project itself to L. Ron Hubbard’s article entitled ‘Dianetics’ published in Astounding Science Fiction, Vol. 45, No. 3 [May, 1950 A.D.] with its discussion of the use of entheogens for “drug hypnosis,” “narco-synthesis” and “post-hypnotic suggestion” as a way to rewire a psychopathic brain [akin to the process of programming a computer as he therein likens the human brain to such]. It also promoted the de-mythification of multi-cultural Shamanic magic practices [as some manias were credited to demon possession cured only by the performance of a Shamanic exorcism] through systematic deconstruction of Shamanic magic practices according to the “scientific method” within the existing psychiatric field as a credible alternative to the then common “mediaeval” horror show method of curing such uncurable insanities by surgically performing prefrontal lobotomies which often typically resulted in veritable “zombiism” or even by transforming patients into living breathing vegetables by performing the then-popular transorbital leucotomy as a means for combating deep-seated psychosis, a procedure which involved “electroshocking” a patient into unconsciousness and thereafter “running an ice-pick like instrument into the brain by thrusting it through the eye-socket back of the eyeball, and slashing the brain with it.” Anything I should say would be better than that. L. Ron Hubbard, who in his article ‘Dianetics’ describes a 761

number of Shamanic magic rituals he has himself personally witnessed in a number of cultural settings around the world [in the pre-1950 A.D. era], as evidenced by this article had been involved in clinical psychiatric tests of a wholly occult nature [including the study of clairvoyance, automatic-writing, etc.] involving numerous test subjects in a “series of experiments” of a parapsychological nature for a number of years dating back to at least 1938 A.D., the very year LSD was first officially synthesized. And not just him, as Hubbard himself explains therein, but “we,” presumably Navy Intelligence and their psychiatric/parapsychological patsys (the Central Intelligence Group [CIG] which immediately preceded the CIA [the CIG group would later become the CIA] was staffed with Navy Intelligence agents; it would appear L. Ron Hubbard had been a member of the CIG group itself). At the time of writing in 1950 A.D. L. Ron Hubbard claimed hundreds of patients had been “cured” by the techniques outlined in his ‘Dianetics’ article. I believe it would not be remiss to say L. Ron Hubbard was MKULTRA and his dealings with Jack Parsons [whom he first met in 1945 A.D.] were indeed preliminary, part and parcel of these later government parapsychological experimentations. Out of such magic practices would evolve the Church of Scientology. Hubbard’s article also lays out all of the tenets of mind control, explaining therein how a person may be conditioned to illicit a specific response to any specific situation and that such a response can then be triggered at any given time at any future moment. I believe one of the most poignant of Hubbard’s published findings as detailed in his article is that fear-paralysis leads to total submission of the individual, and that many individuals can in fact be conditioned to always respond to fear in such a submissive manner. Such is the premise of religious cults as well as the ‘politics of fear.’ ‘Dianetics’ is truly an Illuminating article and is quite the interesting read. In a related note, it seems that the British spy/OTO-member Aleister Crowley, who was himself known to have engaged in counterintelligence operations in this respect in conjunction with American Intelligence agencies (including Navy Intelligence) during WWI and for collaborating with the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Investigations, the precursor organization to the FBI and who was also in constant contact with OTO-member Jack Parsons, Navy Intelligence officer L. Ron Hubbard’s OTO magic partner who lived with Jack Parson’s in Jack Parsons’ home (Aleister Crowley himself had a number of high-placed British Navy Intelligence contacts including the Director of Naval Intelligence, Admiral W. Reginald Hall [See Secret Agent 666]) conducted some early pioneering work in this field along MKULTRA lines: “…Nazi doctors at the Dachau concentration camp gave massive mescaline doses to prisoners in hope of achieving ‘chemical hypnosis.’** British interrogators dabbled with the same drug during WWII. The net result of these and like experiments was that the drug would amplify the effectiveness of 762

interrogation techniques if properly administered (and Crowley was quite the adept in this area of drug-assisted interogations). After WWII, the U.S. Navy’s ‘Operation Chatter’ (aka Project CHATTER) continued to experiment with mescaline as a ‘speech-inducing agent.’ The same and related psychedelics featured prominently in the CIA’s MKULTRA mind control projects (the CIA itself was created out of the Navy Intelligencestaffed CIG group), which flourished throughout the 1950s and 1960s. (Aleister) Crowley…was a pioneer in this bizarre field, and his groundbreaking work may have informed some of those later (MKULTRA) experiments. He once boasted, ‘I have myself made extensive and elaborate studies of the effects of indulgence in stimulants and narcotics,’ and produced ‘a vast quantity of unpublished data’ on the subject. Throughout his American stay, the Beast (Aleister Crowley) routinely administered mescaline or other drugs to willing and unsuspecting subjects (spicy curies were his favorite means), methodically cataloging the results. These observations ended up in another of his journals, Liber CMXXXIV, The Cactus, which he described as an ‘elaborate study of the psychological effects produced by Anhalonium Lewinii (the peyote cactus)…compiled from the actual records of some hundreds of experiments.’ The Cactus vanished after the war.” In fact, The Cactus remains a lost book even to this day—no doubt it was classified by British and U.S. Intelligence agencies. The CIA’s MKULTRA would carry on Aleister Crowley’s pioneering work (as well as the entheogenic experimentations of Theosophical Society-member William James who can himself be tied to Aleister Crowley). Notably enough, Aleister Crowley also had ties to the London-based Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychiatry with which psychiatrists Sigmund Freud and his student, Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung were also associated (Aleister Crowley was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn which is itself the Theosophical Society’s magic-practicing inner circle). Karl Germer, who Crowley had appointed as Outer Head of the OTO, was himself a patient of Tavistock psychoanalyst Alfred Adler, an Austrian Jewish psychotherapist who had collaborated with Sigmund Freud—Freud himself had worked with (OSS agent/psychiatrist/Theosophical Society-member) Carl Jung (no doubt this served as a cover story to hide the true nature of their association, as): “…Tavistock had a more secret and sinister function, as a laboratory for brain-washing and mind-control research serving the intelligence and military branches.” – p.189 Secret Agent 666. No doubt Crowley and Co. were involved in this secret research. When CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary states in his book Flashbacks he was during CIA-funded MKULTRA LSD studies: “…carrying on much of the work that he [Crowley] started over a hundred years ago…” he is referring of course to Aleister Crowley’s own Intelligence-related hallucinogenic studies. Later: “After the war (post WWII), the CIA (the successor organization to the 763

OSS/CIG) and the military picked up where the OSS had left off in the secret search for a truth serum (which experiments had been overseen by OSS chief pyschologist Harry Murray with whom Timothy Leary had previously worked) (Pertinent Quote: “From Astrology to Astronomy, from Alchemy to Chemistry, from animal magnetism to modern hypnotism, from trance inducing drugs to truth serums, from astral flights to airplanes, all of them had their origin in the ancient beliefs, in Witchcraft, in the Old Religion.” – Weird Ways of Witchcraft). The navy took the lead when it initiated Project CHATTER in 1947, the same year the CIA was formed (the CIA being formed from the CIG group which was staffed with Navy Intelligence agents. 1947 A.D. was also the year of Aleister Crowley’s death). Described as an ‘offensive’ program, CHATTER was supposed to devise means of obtaining information from people independent of their volition but without physical duress. Toward this end Dr. Charles Savage conducted experiments with mescaline (a semi-synthetic extract of the peyote cactus that produces hallucinations similar to those caused by LSD) at the Naval Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland…CHATTER was terminated in 1953.” – Acid Dreams p.15. L. Ron Hubbard, it would seem, was in some way involved with the Navy’s Project Chatter. MKULTRA was authorized in 1953 A.D. around the time of the termination of Project CHATTER (** CHATTER and MKULTRA also built upon Nazi experimentations as revealed by Nazi scientists who had come to America through the Navy Intelligence directed Operation Paperclip which included as you remember Nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, an associate of Crowley-associate Jack Parsons: “The mescaline experiments at Dachau (a Nazi concentration camp in Germany) were described in a lengthy report by the US Naval Technical Mission, which swept across Europe in search of every scrap of industrial material and scientific data that could be garnered from the fallen Reich. This mission set the stage for the wholesale importation of more than six hundred top Nazi scientists (including Jack Parsons’ friend Wernher von Braun) under the auspices of Project Paperclip, which the CIA supervised during the early years of the Cold War. Among those who emigrated to the US in such a fashion was Dr. Hubertus Strughold, the German scientist whose chief subordinates (Dr. Sigmund Ruff and Dr. Sigmund Rascher) were directly involved in ‘aviation medicine’ experiments at Dachau, which included the mescaline studies. Despite recurring allegations that he sanctioned medical atrocities during the war, Strughold settled in Texas and became an important figure in America’s space program (where his prior ‘aviation medicine’ experiments would be continued under the guise of ‘space medicine’ studies). After Wernher von Braun, he was the top Nazi scientist employed by the American government, and he was subsequently hailed by NASA as the ‘father of space medicine.’” – Acid Dreams p.15). These topics were of considerable interest to Intelligence connected 764

psychiatrists/psychologists, no doubt with whom L. Ron Hubbard himself associated (if not in fact supervised): “Obtaining information was only one aspect of the interrogation process. Even when CIA officers were able to loosen a subject’s tongue, other problems remained, such as how to insure that he would not remember the events that transpired during his stint in the twilight zone. "If by some means we could create a perfect and thoroughly controlled amnesia," a CIA agent declared, "the matter would be simplified, but amnesia is not certain and cannot be guaranteed." Certain drugs were known to produce amnesia for a matter of hours or days, but this was not sufficient. The CIA also had access to chemicals capable of causing permanent brain damage, but long-term amnesia drugs that would be completely reversible over a twelve-to-eighteen-month period were not available. This was quite an inconvenience as far as the national security experts were concerned. The question of what to do with subjects of special interrogation sessions—the "disposal problem"—provoked a heated debate inside the Company (a nickname for the CIA). The immediate objective was to find a way of holding them "in maximum custody until either operations have progressed to the point where their knowledge is no longer highly sensitive, or the knowledge they possess in general will be of no use to the enemy." One possibility suggested in CIA documents was to render a person incoherent through psychological and/or pharmacological attack and then have him placed in a mental institution. An unspecified number of subjects were committed involuntarily to insane asylums, including some who were described in CIA memoranda as mentally sound. (This practice, which began in the early 1950s and continued at least until the mid-1960s, invites obvious comparisons to the incarceration of Russian dissidents in psychiatric hospitals because of their political views.) Another option involved "termination with extreme prejudice" (CIA lingo for assassination), but this was hardly an ideal solution in all situations. In one CIA document the question of disposal was discussed under the heading "LOBOTOMY and Related Operations." A number of individuals who were fully cognizant of the disposal problem suggested that lobotomy "might be the answer or at least a partial solution." They argued that "lobotomy would create a person 'who no longer cared,' who had lost all initiative and drive, whose allegiance to ideal or motivating factors no longer existed, and who would probably have, if not complete amnesia, at least a fuzzy or spotty memory for recent and past events." They also pointed out "that certain lobotomy types of operations were simple, quickly performed and not too dangerous." Along this line a group of CIA scientists entertained the possibility of using an "icepick" lobotomy (also known as the ‘ice-pick-and-mallet approach’) to render an individual harmless "from a security point of view." A memo dated February 7, 1952, notes that on numerous occasions after using electroshock to produce anesthesia, an unidentified surgeon in the Washington, DC, area 765

performed an operation that involved destroying brain tissue by piercing the skull just above the eye with a fine surgical icepick [both of these procedures had in fact been previously discussed in conjunction with Hubbard’s Dianetics article circa 1950 A.D.]. This type of psychosurgery had certain advantages, in that it resulted in "nervous confusional and amnesia effects" without leaving a "tell-tale scar." The CIA also experimented with brain surgery via UHF sound waves and at one point during the early 1950s attempted to create a microwave "amnesia beam" that would destroy memory neurons [shades of Men In Black]. Not all CIA officials, however, favored using lobotomy as a disposal technique. Potential drawbacks were cited: surgical risk was great, brain damage could be extensive, and such an operation, if faulty, could produce a "vegetable." Moreover, if the enemy discovered that the CIA was mutilating people’s brains for the sake of national security, this information could be exploited as a propaganda weapon. Other CIA officials opposed lobotomy because it was blatantly inhumane and violated "all concepts of 'fairplay' and the American way of life and [thus] it could never be officially [emphasis added] sanctioned or supported.'” – Footnotes pp.16-17 Acid Dreams. It could be, however, unofficially sanctioned). The CIA-run Esalen Institute (the Esalen Institute-associated Monroe Institute) and SRI (the Stanford Research Institute located in Menlo Park, founded by the trustees of Stanford University in 1946 A.D.)/SRI International, the Theosophical Society-inner circle’s Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-associated British spy (who also worked for American Intelligence agencies) Aleister Crowley’s OTO-associated Navy Intelligence officer L. Ron Hubbard’s Church of Scientology and its offshoot Process Church of the Final Judgment (which itself had British/American Intelligence associations), Oxford University (a bastion of the Illuminati and Illuminati-controlled British Intelligence), the Terry Melcher/Esalen Institute/Church of Scientology/Process Church of the Final Judgment/OTOassociated witch Charles Manson and the infamous Manson Family, MKULTRA and psychical research all dovetail nicely together in the likes of one individual named Stephen I. Abrams: “During World War II, the rumors of Nazi Germany developing paranormal capabilities of the mind eventually led to interest by the fledgling post-war CIA. In 1961, Chief of OTS (Office of Technical Services) (also known as Technical Services Staff, the head of which was CIA psychiatrist Dr. Sidney Gotlieb [it was Gotlieb who headed up the MKULTRA program] under whom served President Theodore Roosevelt’s grandson, Cornelius V.S. Roosevelt: “Technical Services Staff is the United States Central Intelligence Agency component responsible for providing supporting gadgets, disguises, forgeries, secret writings, weapons and assassinations. In the 1950s and early 1960s it also researched, investigated, and experimented the use of drugs [such as LSD], chemicals, hypnosis, and isolation to extract information during interrogation, as well as 766

to make it easier for American captives to resist interrogation. It is part of the [CIA’s] Directorate of Science and Technology. Also called the Office of Technical Services and the Technical Services Division (TSD) or TSS.” – Wikipedia: Technical Services Staff) contacted Stephen I. Abrams, head of Parapsychological Laboratory at Oxford University (Abrams had formerly headed up the Parapsychology Department at the University of Chicago) on the subject of ESP (Extra-sensory perception).” – Top Secret Writers: The Mad Science of Alien and UFO Myths. Stephen I. Abrams is the very same “Steve Abrams, an early LSD advocate, paranormal researcher (he was head of the Parapsychology Department at the University of Chicago from 1957-1960 A.D.) and founder of SOMA – Society of Mental Awareness” (a play on the name of the Hindu hallucinogen soma) of whom Gary Lachman writes on p.268 of Turn Off You Mind who once “gave a lecture” at the Process Church of the Final Judgment headquarters on the subject of “brainwashing” (Stephen I. Abram’s own studies are now known to have been CIA-funded under MKULTRA auspices through its Human Ecology Foundation [See p.36 Paranthropology Vol 4 No 1]. Note this CIA association with The Process Church of the Final Judgment whose Intelligence associations in fact run quite deep). Oz magazine at the time had even accused The Process Church of the Final Judgment of practicing a “form of fascistic mind control” (Ibid p.268; no doubt this was carried out under the auspices of an official MKULTRA subproject). It was the CIA’s Technical Services Staff which gave birth to MKULTRA as headed by the black magic sorcerer Dr. Sidney Gottlieb by order of CIA head Allen Dulles. So we can see a definite pattern here and begin to realize that all of these organizations were British/American Intelligence creations (Wicca High-Priestess Sybil Leek [leader of a New Forest British witch coven initially established by her father’s friend, British spy Aleister Crowley’s magic mentor, the Illuminus George Pickingill], who had herself worked with British Intelligence during World War II was also involved in secret U.S./British MKULTRA research. Leek, who like MKULTRA founder/black magician Dr. Gottlieb specialized in the ‘magical use of herbs,’ some of which were hallucinogenic in nature, had ties to a number of Harvard University students, staff members and professors [which university, located in Cambridge, MA, had been through the efforts of William James and the American Society for Psychical Research (the ASPR being the American affiliate of the British Society for Psychical Research) front and center of entheogenic and psychical/parapsychological research spanning many decades in America; through project MKULTRA this research then became a ‘classified’ government secret], a fact of which she informs us in Diary of a Witch (as we learn from Leek herself therefrom, she would also be holding court with LSD addled hippies in Los Angeles, CA during the 1960s, no doubt under MKULTRA auspices as well [Pertinent Quote: “People are sometimes 767

shocked when I say, ‘Yes, once upon a time I took a dose of LSD, and yes, I did try a joint of marijuana.’ At the time I was lecturing on the advantages and disadvantages of drugs.” – p.128 The Complete Art of Witchcraft by Sybil Leek. Indeed, Leek’s occultist friend Israel Regardie (British Intelligence agent Aleister Crowley’s own personal ‘secretary’) had personally known CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary (in 1968 A.D. Israel Regardie would publish a book entitled Roll Away the Stone advocating the use of formulated drugs [including LSD] as a means for achieving mystical experience, aka ‘Scientific Illuminism’ and ‘drug-induced satori,’ thereby reproducing the ancient mystical experience through modern-day pharmacological means). As Israel Regardie’s friend Gerald Suster notes in Crowley’s Apprentice (1989 A.D.): “(Israel) Regardie came to know (Timothy) Leary and this contact stimulated his productivity.” It would also seem Israel Regardie like Timothy Leary was involved in MKULTRA experiments as Suster therein again notes: “In the 1950’s he (WWII U.S. Army vet/psychologist Israel Regardie [likely a member of U.S. Army Intelligence]) had experimented with LSD under controlled laboratory conditions.”]; Sybil Leek also in her book offers a first-hand description of Solar Lodge OTO-member Charles Manson’s magic-practices, so it is possible she even worked in this capacity therewith, possibly even providing this group of drug addled hippies with magical instruction, or perhaps even being a founding member of the Solar Lodge OTO herself). Sybil Leek was also associated with Sir Basil Blackwell (the son of Benjamin Henry Blackwell, an Oxford bookseller and politician best known for founding the Blackwell’s chain of bookshops; in 1879 A.D. he opened B.H. Blackwell’s (another major point of interest on your Illuminati tour), located on Broad Street in Oxford near Oxford University. B.H. Blackwell’s began the careers of many writers including the occult Lord of the Rings author and Oxford University professor J.R.R. Tolkien, a member of the Inklings; recall Charles Walter Stansby Williams [whose friends included T.S. Eliot], an editor of the Oxford University Press was a fellow Inkling as well as a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and had also been a member of Golden Dawn-member A.E. Wait’s Fellowship of the Rosy Cross [in fact, Tolkien was a British Intelligence agent who attended the British Naval Intelligence’s Government Code and Cypher School (MI1); Tolkien was also a close friend of C.S. Lewis who hailed from the Irish Republican Army stronghold of Belfast in Northern Ireland. C.S. Lewis was an associate of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats who in 1921 A.D. had relocated to Oxford; C.S. Lewis is known to have travelled often thereafter to Northern Ireland]. In 1939 A.D. [the year following LSD’s synthesis in 1938 A.D. (recall L. Ron Hubbard had admitted being involved in such research since 1938 A.D.)] Basil Blackwell founded Blackwell Scientific Publications (BSP), a medical publisher in Oxford; pharmacological research on LSD was 768

rather extensive resulting in some 10,000 scientific papers a number of which saw publication in Blackwell Scientific Publications (See The Pharmacology of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide: A Review. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn itself included one Anna Blackwell amongst its ranks—it was Anna Blackwell who had translated into English French Spiritist Allen Kardec’s The Spirits Book) (In 1987 A.D. Blackwell Scientific Publications moved its offices to Cambridge, MA, home of Harvard University). Sybil Leek was also involved in psychical research [she traveled extensively with famous ghost-hunting parapsychologist/archaeologist/practicing witch/ceremonial magician Hans Holzer (whose wife was Countess Catherine Buxhoeveden, a descendent of Catherine the Great of Russia [recall it was in the Court of Catherine the Great where the Adam Weishauptassociated Illuminati ceremonial magician Cagliostro once held sway]; Hans Holzer himself was famous for investigating the Amityville Horror case) for whom she acted as ‘trance medium’ during their psychic investigations: “We have traveled half a million miles in America and Europe... Ireland has dominated many of our adventures.” – Diary of a Witch. Sometimes such travel adventures are used as cover for other clandestine Intelligence operations]. Sybil Leek writes Diary of a Witch from the standpoint of someone who is privy to much inside government Intelligence information. Another of Sybil Leek’s major interests was Astrology. Interestingly enough, Leek, herself a lecturer for the Theosophical Society (See p.155 Diary of a Witch), was to relocate to Los Angeles during the Theosophical Society-inspired flower power 1960s of which she later writes: “Los Angeles…must surely be the general headquarters of the kook and charlatan… I discovered Los Angeles does indeed have a hard core of people who are dedicated to psychic research and understanding. I met stalwarts like (U.S. Army vet/psychologist) Dr. Israel Regardie, one of the foremost authorities on the Kabbala and ritual magic, and Sydney Omarr, a fine astrologer (“Sydney Omarr (5 August 1926 – 2 January 2003) was an American astrologer and an astrology consultant to the rich and famous... At the age of 17, he enlisted in the Army and within a year he was the first and only astrologer for the Army. He wrote the horoscope column for the U.S. Army’s Stars and Stripes Newspaper, and he believed his private horoscope work for President Franklin D. Roosevelt won him that position... As Omarr became a rather prolific writer, he also reinvented himself as a celebrity in his own right, appearing on various radio and television shows to include Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, and Johnny Carson. He knew countless celebrities...” – Wikipedia: Sydney Omarr). I became very friendly with Dr. Regardie when we discovered we were among the last people alive who remembered Aleister Crowley [who like Leek had known him personally as well]. He [Regardie] had been Crowley’s secretary in Paris [and Crowley had himself been a friend of Sybil Leek’s father]… A fine author himself, 769

Dr. Regardie had edited all the early Golden Dawn books and had a marvelous library of ancient and modern magical literature. One night we got out all the old regalia which had been used at the Crowley rituals… we performed one of the old Golden Dawn rituals…I dropped into a deep trance. A message came through admonishing the people in the room [which included two unidentified friends of Regardie, though likely including Ray Burlingame, one of the last surviving members of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge, and fellow Crowleyite Gerald Yorke] to revive the old rituals [which event quite likely had directly led to the founding of the Solar Lodge OTO]… I discovered that there is one authentic coven of witches in Los Angeles [she likely speaking of the Charles Manson/Dennis Hopper/Dennis Wilson witchcraft group] and at least twenty pseudo-covens [many of which are the subjects of her own parapsychological research partner Hans Holzer’s numerous books on witches and witchcraft]. The latter mix elements of witchcraft with Black Magic, and as one may expect in the strange city of Los Angeles, Black Magic is more intriguing than the more gentle, less spectacular religion of [white magic] witchcraft.” – p.165-166,168 Diary of a Witch by Sybil Leek. Obviously Sybil Leek herself also at times mixed white witchcraft with black magick practices) Chicago’s University of Chicago was home to the super-secretive Manhattan Project which gave birth to the first atomic bomb which should serve to underscore the Chicagoland area’s major government Intelligence agency associations. One of the project scientists working at the University of Chicago with J. Robert Oppenheimer (Oppenheimer was himself a Pasadena, CA resident with CalTech/University of California, Berkeley associations) was a University of Chicago graduate physicist named Luis Alvarez (Alvarez was a member of Ernest Lawrence’s team of scientists; Lawrence as you recall was a Bohemian Club member). During World War II Luis Alvarez worked on classified projects in Europe where he came to know sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke, at their time of meeting an RAF airman. After the war, Alvarez was employed at U of C Berkeley. There, Alvarez’s work brought him into contact with physicists from CalTech, and no doubt he was an associate of a number of Jack Parsons’ own associates, many of whom were CalTech physicists who took part in Jack Parsons’ OTO magic rituals (another physicist involved with the super-secretive Manhattan Project involved in the development of America’s atomic bomb who was known to have resided in Jack Parsons’ OTO communal home was a man named Robert Cornog who was himself engaged in work to develop the trigger mechanism for the atomic bomb. Sci-fi author Robert A. Heinlein was a mutual friend of both Jack Parsons and Robert Cornog). Physicists working on the Manhattan Project were in fact a pretty closeknit bunch at the time. In the early 1950s Luis Alvarez (a Fellow of the American Philosophical Society, 1953 A.D.) took part in a CIA-backed CalTech study (along with Linus Pauling’s colleague, Manhattan Project physicist Samuel A. Goudsmith [scientific head of the Alsos Mission] and J. Allen Hynek; Hynek served as a scientific adviser to the U.S. Air Force’s UFO investigatory projects Project Sign, Project Grudge and Project Blue Book) of Unidentified Flying Objects which panel 770

(known as the Robertson Panel under the direction of the CIA-associated mathematician/physicist Howard Percy Robertson [known for his work in physical cosmology, a branch of astronomy which for much of human history was simply known as ‘natural magic’) reported a true threat did in fact exist but recommended down-playing any threat publicly, which policy included the institution of a general debunking program (See Durant, F. C.: Report on Meetings of Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects. Washington, D.C.: CIA, 1953). Meanwhile: “Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” - Former CIA Director (and Navy Rear Admiral) Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, 1960 A.D. (Hillenkoeter had served along with project director Donald E. Keyhoe on the National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena [NICAP] from 1957-1962 A.D.). Apparently: “The experience of the Orson Welles (War of the Worlds) broadcast years before (which caused widespread panic among many listeners who believed an actual alien invasion to be in progress) was constantly in the minds of many officials and there was good reason to believe that public panic might follow statements such as an admission that U.F.O.s might come from outer space.” - U.F.O.s and their Mission Impossible by Dr. Clifford Wilson, 1974 A.D. It was also widely felt the appearance of UFOs could be mistaken for incoming nuclear missles thereby inadvertently sparking a nuclear war (See FSR:1961/7N2).

At any rate, Jack Parsons’ close associate Dr. Theodore von Karmen (who served as the United States Air Force Scientific Advisory Board chairman from 1944-1954 A.D.) had been intimately involved in the Air Force’s UFO investigations Project Sign, Project Grudge and during the early years of Project Blue Book ever since a number of UFOs began appearing above American nuclear installations during the late 1940s including incidents where UFOs had hovered above both the super-secretive Los Alamos National Laboratory nuclear weapons lab in Los Alamos, New Mexico and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee [See pp.266-7 Above Top Secret by Timothy Good]. There have even been cases where UFOs have rendered our nuclear missiles “inoperable” thereby “demonstrating that we have no adequate defense against them” [See Ibid p.301 where one incident is described which took place in 1966 A.D., this subsequent to a prior incident taking place in 1964 A.D. when a UFO is said to have altered the course of an airborne Atlas ICBM missile during flight (Ibid p.292)]. In 1962 A.D. at the behest of Air Force Intelligence: “Dr. J. Allen Hynek [Air Force scientific advisor for UFO studies at this point as part of the Air Force’s Project Blue Book] had conferred with the world’s leading scientists regarding the UFO problem” [Ibid pp.289-90]. The scientists involved in these UFO investigations were the very same scientists involved in America’s nuclear development. Amongst these individuals was Air Force Intelligence officer Raymond E. Fowler, a Minuteman Missile project scientist who has served as MUFON Director of Scientific Investigations as well as NICAP Chairman (Raymond E. Fowler was a Flying Saucer Review consultant as well). Raymond E. Fowler, a professed UFO abductee, has authored numerous books on the subject of UFOs (including The Watchers and The Watchers II on the subject of the group of extraterrestrials known as “The Watchers” and the role they have played in the development of our religious history) and is famous for his belief that UFOs and their occupants originate from an other-worldly dimension, all the while 771

acknowledging their connection to observed paranormal phenomenon, although Fowler himself is wise enough to concede: “We may instead be dealing with a nuts and bolts inter-stellar alien technology that is so far in advance to us that it appears to be paraphysical in nature.” [See Interview with Raymond E. Fowler by Rosemary Ellen Guiley, Journal of Abduction-Encounter Research©, Vol. 2, 2007]). It is in fact to the flying saucers of the fallen angels that we owe credit for the creation of the CIA itself: “According to investigative journalist Warren Smith the CIA first became interested in UFO reports prior to its establishment in 1947, when it was known as the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), headed by Major General William (“Wild Bill”) Donovan. The ‘foo-fighters’ were being sighted in increasing numbers during the later stages of World War II. Shortly after pilot Kenneth Arnold’s famous sighting on 24 June 1947, Smith was told the OSS met at the prestigious Brooks Club in New York (notable members of ‘The Brook’ include John F. Kennedy and other high-ranking Naval Intelligence commanders) and organized a funded effort to establish the truth about flying disks.” – pp.329-30 Above Top Secret. Kenneth Arnold’s sighting was the beginning of a UFO ‘flap.’ As noted by Center for UFO Studies boardmember Jerome Clark in Strange Skies: Pilot Encounter with UFOs p.57 (2003 A.D.): In the days following (Kenneth) Arnold’s sighting, the Northwest was inundated with reports of shining, fast moving discs. The age of UFOs had begun…” From that very meeting at the Brooks Club emerged the CIG ufo research group [the CIG being the successor organization to the OSS and the predecessor organization to the CIA] which was itself constituted and staffed with members of Naval Intelligence with the express purpose of investigating the disappearance of the Navy’s infamous Flight 19** of which no trace has subsequently been found and which had disappeared in 1945 A.D. in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle area, an incident attributed to UFO abduction (**Flight 19 was composed of five Naval bomber aircraft and its disappearance included the loss of 14 Navy airmen; a search plane sent out to find this missing group along with its own crew of 13 Navy airmen had also mysteriously disappeared with no trace of them to be found). As prominent ufologist Timothy Good, formerly of the British Ministry of Defense, notes in Above Top Secret: “The OSS was concerned that such (UFO) sightings could cause panic… The flying saucers had to be debunked. Psychological warfare and propaganda were brought to bear, using hoaxes, false sightings and wild reports. Articles ridiculing flying saucers were planted in national newspapers and magazines.” It would seem Jack Parsons’ and other individuals in his own group had been involved in both UFO investigations/research and in UFO debunking efforts as well. In fact, one of the men involved with the Air Force’s Project Sign UFO investigations was a mysterious man named Alfred Loedding [as we learn from Center for UFO Studies boardmember Jerome Clark in Strange Skies: Pilot Encounter with UFOs p.78 (2003 A.D.), Alfred Loedding was “an Air Force-employed civilian aeronautical engineer,” a Project Sign UFO investigator who believed UFOs to be of extraterrestrial origin], present at a number of early classified rocketry tests conducted by Jack Parsons [a UFO contactee] and his group in conjuction with the United States Air Force [See p.75 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 772

A.D.]. The U.S. government was also known to involve nuclear physicists in UFO research, one noteable example being Stanton Friedman, one of America’s leading physicists and UFO researchers who worked at the Jack Parsons-founded Aerojet aircraft company from 1959 – 1963 A.D. As we learn in Sex and Rockets: “Another Aerojet employee (of Jack Parsons’ own company), Daniel Fry, saw a saucer in 1950 and went on to become an active figure in the 1950s contacteeism [recall Parsons’ involvement with Aerojet; Jack Parsons was one of the first Americans to report a UFO sighting]… Still another occult-oriented employee in the aerospace engineering industry, the Californian Orfeo Angelucci, claimed to be a contactee in the 1950s.” Yet another 1950s ‘UFO contactee’ was a Hughes’ Aircraft Company [an aircraft company where Jack Parsons was also at one time employed] and Lockheed employee named George Van Tassels [and 1950s ‘UFO contactee’ Orfeo Angelucci worked at the same Lockheed plant in Burbank, CA (Burbank has also been home to Warner Bros.© studios since 1930 A.D.) as UFO ‘contactee’ George Van Tassels]. I believe a pattern also exists here somewhere, quite possibly a concerted effort designed to discredit true UFO contactees. Many UFO contactees with unbelievably inane stories [such as the aliens encountered hail from civilizations located on the planets Venus and Mars] are associated with and have government Intelligence/CalTech/Aerojet/Hughes’ Aircraft/Theosophical Society backgrounds and/or incorporate Theosophical Society themes within their writings. It may be they were all majorly naïve Overshadowed occultists fed all the typical fallen angel lies. It may be a combination of the two. It may be neither. Though the possibility remains that these goings on represent official government efforts to undermine interest in the field of civilian UFO studies. The CIA as we learn from Above Top Secret was known to infiltrate such civilian UFO research groups and in some cases to subvert them to their own debunking interests. At any rate these efforts seem to have worked wonders: “Since 1947, there has been a small but vocal group of crackpots and publicity seekers who claim to be in almost constant touch with the ‘Brothers from Outer Space.’ These people have founded mystical cults… The odious reputation of these groups makes many an apparently sincere ‘contactee’ reluctant to step forward with his story and thus inadvertently join their ranks.” True© Magazine: Never Mind the Saucer! by John A. Keel. The fact remains however, UFOs are a clear and present danger and a number of America’s top scientists involved in nuclear research also took part in clandestine UFO studies/investigations and these included the physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer (who had lost his security clearance during the 1950s Red Scare in America due to prior Communist party affiliations) along with Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, and UNESCO co-founder Joseph Needham (amongst others) went on to found the World Academy of Art and Science in 1960 A.D. (Pertinent Quote: “The real nature and extent of intelligence agency interest in UFOs, ongoing since the late forties, is staggering. It is an effort that has encompassed all of the federal agencies, both at military and civil levels. The Air Force OSI, the Navy ONI, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA and the Army DIA have all been directly and deeply involved in the UFO situation. Investigations have been consistently classified as above top secret, where even the President has no access without demonstrating a need to know… The efforts of these federal intelligence agencies have been focused in three primary ways. ONE: All efforts are made to attain as much information as possible about UFO events. This includes close monitoring of UFO groups and private 773

investigators. TWO: All efforts are made to suppress this same information and prevent it from becoming public knowledge…THREE: All efforts are made to provide prosaic explanations for UFO activity. This includes propaganda efforts directed chiefly through the California movie industry and also through prominent public personalities. It also includes manufacture of alternate explanations… UFOs have the highest intelligence priority since the Manhattan Project.” – FSR: The Double Deception by Robert Perry Collins. Satanic deception indeed!) Another occult Chicago connection was writer Otis Kline: “Otis Adelbert Kline (1891–1946) born in Chicago, Illinois, USA, was an adventure novelist and literary agent during the pulp era. Much of his work first appeared in the (Chicagobased) magazine Weird Tales… In the mid-1930s Kline largely abandoned writing to concentrate on his career as a literary agent (most famously for fellow Weird Tales author Robert E. Howard, pioneer sword and sorcery writer and creator of Conan the Barbarian).” – Wikipedia: Otis Adelbert Kline. A major theme which runs through all of the Conan the Barbarian stories is of course black magic and sorcery all of which stories saw reprints during the inherently mystic 1960s. Howard’s writings were greatly influenced by British writer and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawnmember Talbot Mundy. One of Otis Kline’s most notable employees was a writer named Otto Binder (Amazing Stories/Marvel Comics/DC Comics), an ancient astronaut theory proponent (see Binder’s book Mankind: Child of the Stars) and Flying Saucer Review magazine consultant.

After Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard parted company, one of Hubbard’s science-fiction writer friends located in New York introduced Hubbard to a man named Sam Merwin (See p.115 Bare Faced Messiah), an associate of Oscar Friend: “Upon the death of his friend and literary agent, Otis Kline, Oscar Friend acquired ownership of his company, Otis Kline Associates. Friend, with the partnership of his wife Irene Ozment Friend, became one of the foremost international science fiction and fantasy agents of the 1950s and 1960s. Oscar Friend’s clients included many talented ground-breaking authors, among them: Isaac Asimov, Robert (A.) Heinlein (during WWII Asimov and Henlein worked together at the Philadelphia Naval Yard), Ray Bradbury, Robert E. Howard, Theodore Sturgeon, Murray Leinster, and Frank Herbert.” – Wikipedia: Oscar J. Friend (A link between the sci-fi/fantasy literary genre and Confederate magic-practicing Freemasonic generals such as Albert Pike can be found in the form of Robert E. Howard: “Howard was born January 22, 1906 in Peaster, Texas, the only son of a traveling country physician, Dr. Isaac Mordecai Howard, and his wife, Hester Jane Ervin Howard. Both sides of the family had roots throughout the American South, with various ancestors owning plantations and fighting for the 774

Confederacy in the Civil War.” – Wikipedia: Robert E.Howard. Robert E. Howard, in the end, was also himself ‘suicided,’ shot through the head with a pistol) Consider also the story of another Chicago-born Jewish member of the H.P. Lovecraft circle: “Robert Albert Bloch (April 5, 1917 – September 23, 1994) was a prolific American writer (as well as a writer of Hollywood screenplays), primarily of crime, horror and science fiction (it was August Derleth’s Arkham House, H.P. Lovecraft’s publisher, who published Bloch’s first collection of short stories; Arkham House also published works of fiction authored by many of H.P. Lovecraft’s contemporaries, including Ray Bradbury [from 1970 onward Robert Bloch and Ray Bradbury were known to attend Bill Crawford’s Annual Witchcraft and Sorcery Convention which met every fall at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles], Robert E. Howard, Frank Belknap Long, Clark Ashton Smith, as well as the works of August Derleth himself). He (Robert Albert Bloch) is best known as the writer of Psycho, the basis for the film of the same name by Alfred Hitchcock. He many times remarked that he had “the heart of a little boy,” quipping “I keep it in a jar on my desk.” Bloch wrote hundreds of short stories and over 20 novels, usually crime fiction, science fiction and, perhaps most influentially, horror fiction (Psycho). He was one of the youngest members of the Lovecraft Circle. H. P. Lovecraft was Bloch’s mentor and one of the first to seriously encourage his talent. However, while Bloch started his career by emulating Lovecraft and his brand of cosmic horror, he later specialised in crime and horror stories dealing with the inner workings of the human mind… During the 1930s, Bloch was an avid reader of the pulp magazine Weird Tales. H. P. Lovecraft, a frequent contributor to that magazine, became one of his favorite writers. As a teenager, Bloch wrote a fan letter to Lovecraft (1933), who gave him advice on his own fiction-writing efforts. Bloch’s first publication was with the short story “Lilies” in the semi-professional magazine Marvel Tales (Winter 1934). Bloch began correspondence with August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith and others of the ‘Lovecraft Circle.’ Bloch’s first professional sales, at the age of 17 (July 1934), were to Weird Tales with the short stories “The Feast in the Abbey” and “The Secret in the Tomb.” “Feast...” appeared first, in the January 1935 issues which actually went on sale November 1, 1934… He notably penned three original scripts for the original series of Star Trek (1966–67)” – 775

Wikipedia: Robert Albert Bloch (Robert Albert Bloch ties to Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood and company through his friend, occult author Lee Prosser [See Isherwod, Bowles, Vedanta, Wicca and Me by Lee Prosser, 2001 A.D. As we learn therefrom, Prosser was a friend of Christopher Isherwood, and Paul Bowles was godfather to two of Prosser’s daughters]. Bloch [who by his associations we may assume was himself involved in clandestine Intelligence activities as well] was a member of the Count Dracula Society at the Magic Castle (which in itself was a front organization for MKULTRA’s Subproject 19 which concentrated on the creation of what the CIA termed to be a ‘Magic Manual.’ The Magic Castle was founded in 1962 A.D. by the Pasadena-born CBS writer Milt Larsen who in 1967 A.D. would become a writer on the show Malibu U whose guest stars included Dennis Wilson’s friend Neil Young’s band Buffalo Springfield as well as Jim Morrison’s band The Doors; interestingly enough, Manson Family member Tex Watson, who Manson had first met at the house of Dennis Wilson, had a girlfriend whom he met in 1969 A.D. who lived in an apartment building located directly adjacent to the Magic Castle itself [which club was visible from her apartment balcony] which Tex Watson in his book Will You Die for Me? describes as “an exclusive private club for professional magicians and entertainment stars” (it is interesting to note Church of Satan High Priest Anton LaVey would make a series of cameo appearances on CBS’ Lancer T.V. series [See p.390 The Church of Satan] which series aired on CBS from 1968 – 1970 A.D.). As Ed Sanders notes in The Family, Tex Watson spent a lot of time at this apartment building and Manson and his girls would also come there to visit. It was in this apartment building located next door to the Magic Castle there in Tex Watson’s girlfriend’s apartment where Charles Manson would shoot Bernard ‘Lottsapoppa’ Crowe in a drug deal gone bad (Tex Watson was dealing drugs supplied by Charles Manson himself, likely in the employ of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization which itself had CIA associations). It was in another location also located next door to what was to become the Magic Castle where ten years earlier in 1959 A.D. Manson had operated his 3-Star Enterprises which acted as a prostitution front. Kitty corner on the next block over at 6925 Hollywood Blvd. lies Grauman’s Chinese Theatre co-owned by Sid Grauman and his partners Mary Pickford [Mary Pickford being one of Charlie Chaplin’s leading ladies], Douglas Fairbanks, and Howard Schenck. The Magic Castle is currently home to the Magic Castle Hotel—beware of two-way mirrors, and remember, you heard it here first) in Hollywood, CA which reveres all things Dracula, particularly doting upon the novel Dracula written by Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Bram Stoker (if an investigative reporter such as Maury Terry were looking for a ‘blood drinking cult’ as he was during the 1980s this would certainly be a good place to start). That Jack Parson’s L.A. Science Fantasy Society was associated with the Count Dracula Society [the Count Dracula Society is itself closely associated with the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films] is particularly evident in the person of author Harl Vincent: “Harl Vincent (October 19, 1893 – May 5, 1968) was the publication name of Harold Vincent Schoepflin, an American mechanical engineer (for Westinghouse Electric, a military contractor involved in the Manhattan Project) and science fiction author. He was published regularly in science fiction "pulp" magazines… Although he ceased publishing during the early 1940s (during WWII when the Manhattan Project was in full swing), Vincent remained involved with science fiction. After relocating to Los Angeles, Vincent joined the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society (many individuals involved with the Manhattan Project can be linked to this Intelligence front organization and/or its members, the most notable being Jack Parsons himself) and the Count Dracula Society, as well as attending local science fiction conventions. Vincent resumed writing late in life, publishing the novel The Doomsday Planet in 1966 and the story “Invader” in the September 1967 issue of If.” – Wikipedia: Harl Vincent. Forrest J Ackerman was also associated with the Count Dracula Society as well as with the World Science Fiction Society founded in 1939 A.D. Forrest J Ackerman was a good friend of Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey, one of whose favorite lecturing themes was vampires and vampirism. Manson Family member Susan Atkin’s act of licking the blood from her knife 776

at the scene of actress Sharon Tate’s and fellow Church of Satan-member Jay Sebring’s murders may in fact be directly attributed to such promptings. Manson Family member/convicted murderer Bobby Beausoleil like Susan Atkins and Charles Manson had been a Church of Satan attendee as well).

Consider also the Chicago connection in the form Leslie S. Klinger of the Baker Street Irregulars (of which H.P. Lovecraft circle authors August Derleth, Anthony Boucher and Isaac Asimov were notable members; Presidents FDR and Harry S. Truman [Truman was a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans in deference to his Confederate forebears] were also Honorary members): “Leslie S. Klinger (born May 2, 1946, Chicago, Illinois) is an American attorney and writer. He is a noted literary editor and annotator of classic mystery fiction, including the Sherlock Holmes stories and the novel Dracula (both penned by Theosophical Society members)… Klinger is a member of the Sherlock Holmes literary club (recall such literary clubs were favorite fronts for Illuminati intrigues) called The Baker Street Irregulars,** as well as numerous other Sherlockian societies. He served three terms as chapter president of the Southern California chapter of the Mystery Writers of America. He is a member of Sisters in Crime, the Horror Writers Association (and currently serves on the Board of HWA), the Dracula Society (which is associated with the Count Dracula Society), and the Transylvanian Society of Dracula.” – Wikipedia: Leslie L. Klinger. Chicago was home to the super-secretive Manhattan Project (though it receives its name due to the fact the headquarters for the Manhattan Project was located at Tower 270 located at 270 Broadway in Downtown Manhattan, home of the North Atlantic Division of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers) which gave birth to the atomic bomb which should underscore the Chicagoland area’s government Intelligence agency background. The OTO also had a magic lodge there in Chicago as well (** Not to be confused with “The Baker Street Irregulars” which recieves its name from: “The Special Operations Executive (SOE), tasked by Winston Churchill to "set Europe ablaze" during World War II [created in order to ‘co-ordinate all action’ of the many diverse British spy organizations involved in covert operations of ‘subversion and sabotage’], had their headquarters at 64 Baker Street and were often called “the Baker Street Irregulars” after Sherlock Holmes’s fictional group of boys employed ‘to go everywhere, see everything and overhear everyone,’ as they spied about London.” – Wikipedia. Another notable member of the Special Operations Executive [SOE] was British actor Christopher Lee, a man who bears all the stamps of the Illuminati [as does the aforementioned societies as well as all of the following associations]: “Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee, CBE, CStJ (born 27 May 1922) is an English actor and musician. Lee initially portrayed villains and became famous for his role as Count Dracula in a string of Hammer Horror films [“…a film production company based in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1934, the company is best known for a series of Gothic "Hammer Horror" films made from the mid-1950s until the 1970s…” The first of its horror films was Dracula starring Christopher Lee in 1958 A.D.]… Lee was born in Belgravia, Westminster [in England], as the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Geoffrey Trollope Lee, of the 60th King’s Royal Rifle Corps, and his wife, Contessa Estelle Marie (née Carandini di Sarzano)… Lee’s maternal great-grandfather was an Italian political refugee, and his great-grandmother was English-born Australian singer Marie Carandini… His parents separated when he 777

was very young, and his mother took him and his sister to Switzerland [recall Switzerland was where the Illuminati revolution of 1848 A.D. had been a success]. After enrolling in Miss Fisher's Academy in Wengen, he played his first villainous role as Rumpelstiltskin. The family returned to London, where Lee attended Wagner’s private school [recall Wagner fled to Switzerland when the Illuminati plot with which he was involved was uncovered]. His mother then married Harcourt "Ingle" Rose, a banker and stepcousin of [British spy] Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels [Ian Fleming served as a case officer to British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley (See Secret Agent 666); Aleister Crowley had also at one point worked under Ian Fleming’s brother Peter Fleming who had been placed in charge of military deception operations in Southeast Asia during WWII. Peter Fleming would use his cover of ‘travel writer’ to spy in China]. Lee spent some time at Summer Fields School, a preparatory school in Oxford (notable for sending many alumni to Eton)… Lee volunteered to fight for the Finnish forces during the Winter War against the Soviet Union in 1939… He went on to serve in the Royal Air Force and intelligence services during World War II, including serving as an Intelligence officer with the Long Range Desert Group. He trained in South Africa as a pilot, but eyesight problems forced him to drop out. He eventually ended up in North Africa as Cipher Officer for No. 260 Squadron RAF and was with it through Sicily and Italy (Allied Intelligence agents such as Christopher Lee typically worked with the Mafia during the invasion of Sicily). Additionally, he has mentioned (including in his audio commentary on the Lord of the Rings DVD) serving in Special Operations Executive (SOE). Lee retired from the RAF after the end of the war with the rank of Flight Lieutenant.” – Wikipedia: Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee was not the only former member of the SOE to later morph into a Hollywood actor. Former SOE agent/British actor/director Anthony Quayle must also be added to this list. Anthony Quayle appears notably enough along with De Brier magic salon-attendee Richard Burton in the 1969 A.D. Hal B. Wallis production, Anne of the Thousand Days, partially filmed at Pinewood Studios and one of whose themes is witchcraft) (Amazingly enough, the Illuminati have long used the Dracula franchise as cover for subversive activities [into which category must also be placed actor Hamilton Deane: “Hamilton Deane (1880–1958) was an Irish actor, playwright and director. He played a key role in popularizing Bram Stoker’s Dracula as a stage play and, later, a film.” – Wikipedia: Hamilton Deane. “Dracula is a 1924 stage play adapted by Hamilton Deane from the novel of the same name by Bram Stoker…It was the first adaptation of the novel authorized by Stoker’s widow…The American production starred Bela Lugosi in his first major English-speaking role…” – Wikipedia: Dracula (1924 play). Hamilton Deane’s family owned an estate adjacent to that of Bram Stoker’s father and Deane himself was a member of the Shakespearean actor Sir Henry Irving’s Vacation Company [formed after the Lyceum Theatre’s demise in 1899 A.D., it spent six months each year touring America (Sir Henry Irving’s leading lady was a famous actress named Ellen Terry, an associate of George Bernard Shaw). Deane himself was an actor who acted with the company from 1899 A.D. until the death of Sir Henry Irving in 1905 A.D. Deane formed his own company in the early 1920s]. Hamilton Deane must surely have known Bram Stroker [who served as business manager of Sir Henry Irving’s Lyceum Theatre for upwards of 20 years; Hamilton Deane’s mother had known Bram Stoker since their childhood years and the two families were in fact 778

neighbors. Bram Stoker was himself a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the magic practicing inner circle of the Theosophical Society]. The 1950s to 1970s Illuminati trail runs through British Intelligence officer turned actor Christopher Lee and the 1958 film Dracula (released in the US under the name The Horror of Dracula), the Hammer Film Productions film production company (Illuminus Bela Lugosi [star of Dracula in Hamilton Deane’s Broadway plays and in its later Hollywood film adaptation] starred in Hammer Film Productions’ The Mystery of the Marie Celeste [US: The Phantom Ship, 1936 A.D.]), the Rank Organisation (UK)/Rank Group PLC, Cornel Lucas and the Pinewood Studios/Pinewood Studios Group located near London England (Cornel Lucas worked with the OSS-associated actress Marlene Dietrich as well as with British Intelligence officer turned actor David Niven). Side roads include the GHQ Liaison Regiment, a World War II special reconnaissance unit, GHQ Liaison Regiment commander turned actor David Niven (Niven was a good friend of actor Errol Flynn), James Bond author and British spy Ian Fleming, a colleague of David Niven (David Niven is mentioned by name in two of Ian Fleming’s novels), Camp X founder Sir William Stephenson,** a Canadian master spy working for British intelligence (**codename: Intrepid; the MKULTRA-associated agent George Hunter White was himself indoctrinated at Sir William Stephenson’s Camp X. David Niven even once starred in the television miniseries A Man Called INTREPID based on the memoirs of Sir William Stephenson), William J. “Wild Bill” Donovan (Donovan, named Coordinator Of Information [COI] by his friend, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, became wartime head of the Office of Strategic Services [OSS]; William J. “Wild Bill” Donovan had personally worked with British spy Ian Fleming to form the OSS [See Secret Agent 666 p.258] in order to coordinate wartime allied U.S./British Intelligence operations) and the British Security Coordination (BSC): “…a covert organization set up in New York City by the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) (MI6) in May 1940 upon the authorization of Winston Churchill…The British novelist William Boyd, in a 2006 article for The Guardian, stated that although the total number of BSC agents operating in the USA is unknown, he estimated the number to be at least ‘many hundreds’ and had seen ‘the figure of up to 3,000 mentioned.’” – Wikipedia: British Security Coordination. No doubt it included no small number of Illuminati operatives. Unfortunately for the rest of us, this story parallels the creation of America’s own Central Intelligence Agency as it was William J. “Wild Bill” Donovan who “…began to lay the groundwork for a centralized intelligence program. It was he who organized the COI’s New York headquarters (called the Office of the Coordinator of Information) in Room 3603 of Rockefeller Center** in October, 1941 and asked Allen Dulles to head it; the offices Dulles took over had been the location of the operations of Britain’s MI6. In 1942, the COI became the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).” – Wikipedia: William J. Donovan (**As we learn from Wikipedia concerning the Rockefeller Center: “During the Great Depression he [John D. Rockefeller, Jr.] developed and was the sole financier of a vast 14-building real estate complex in the geographical center of Manhattan, Rockefeller Center, and as a result became one of the largest real estate holders in New York City. He was influential in attracting leading blue chip corporations as tenants in the complex, including GE and its then affiliates RCA, NBC and RKO, as well as Standard Oil of New Jersey (Esso), and Associated Press and Time Inc [a number of the executives of NBC, Time and the Associated Press being CIA assets as noted in Rolling Stone© Magazine: The CIA and the Media, October 20, 1977], as well as branches of what was Chase National Bank, now JP Morgan 779

Chase.” – Wikipedia: John D. Rockefeller, Jr.). The OSS would eventually give birth to

the Central Intelligence Group [CIG] staffed by members of Navy Intelligence which would itself give birth to the CIA) (Consider also the story of another British Intelligence agent turned actor who has also starred in film roles based on stories written by Theosophical Society authors [in this case the Sherlock Holmes books of Theosophical Society-member Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]: “Sir Basil Rathbone, KBE, MC, Kt (13 June 1892 – 21 July 1967) was an English actor (the Rathbone’s are related to the Huxley’s [as well as to the Huxley-associated Darwin family] through Major David Bruce Huxley [his wife was the niece of Basil Rathbone’s wife]. His daughter Angela was married to George Pember Darwin whose son Michael would become curator of science at the Smithsonian Institution). He rose to prominence in England as a Shakespearean stage actor (note the Shakespearean actor theme which is also a common thread throughout our story; like the Sherlock Holmes story series, magic and witchcraft are major recurring topics to be found throughout the works of Shakespeare)… His most famous role, however, was heroic—that of Sherlock Holmes in fourteen Hollywood films made between 1939 and 1946 and in a radio series. His later career included Broadway and television work… He was born Philip St. John Basil Rathbone in Johannesburg, South African Republic, to English parents Edgar Philip Rathbone, a mining engineer and scion of the Liverpool Rathbone family, and Anna Barbara née George, a violinist… The Rathbones fled to England when Basil was three years old after his father was accused by the Boers of being a British spy (which no doubt he was as members of the Huxley and Darwin families served in the British Foreign Office and were additionally associated with H.G. Wells, Director of the British Foreign Office intelligence organization) near the onset of the Second Boer War at the end of the 1890s… In 1916, he (Basil Rathbone) enlisted for the remaining duration of World War I, joining the London Scottish Regiment as a private, serving alongside his future successful acting contemporaries Claude Rains (who appeared in films with both Errol Flynn [Flynn was a friend of British spies Ian Fleming and David Niven and was no doubt a spy himself along with all of those individual actors which made up the so-called ‘British Colony’ in California and its associated Hollywood Cricket Club] and future president Ronald Reagan [Reagan would later name a former CIA Director, namely George H.W. Bush, as his own vice-president]), Herbert Marshall (who appeared in films alongside the OSS-associated actress Marlene Dietrich) and Ronald Colman (Colman served in the same army regiment as fellow British actors Herbert Marshall, Cedric Hardwicke, Claude Rains and Basil Rathbone). He later transferred with a commission as a lieutenant to the Liverpool Scottish, 2nd Battalion, where he served as an intelligence officer and eventually attained the rank of captain.” (It was Basil Rathbone’s distant cousin Major Henry Rathbone who along with his fiancée had attended the playhouse presentation at Ford’s Theater as a guest of the President and Mrs. Lincoln at the very time of President Lincoln’s assassination. Major Henry Rathbone would go on to become U.S. consul for the Province of Hanover in Germany where he would murder his wife and spend the rest of his life in an asylum for the criminally insane—the demons can and will get in your head) – Wikipedia: Basil Rathbone. No doubt all of these British actors were British Intelligence operatives (working with counterpart American Intelligence assets no less and under the cover of the motion picture industry. As we learn from Barefaced Messiah, Navy Intelligence officer L. Ron Hubbard [a member of former Hermetic Order of the 780

Golden Dawn-member/British spy Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodge headed by Jack Parsons] worked with Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff as a Hollywood screenwriter during the mid to late 1930s [one of L. Ron Hubbard’s fictional stories was even made into the film The Secret of Treasure Island released in 1938 A.D.]). Concerning the WWII role Pinewood Studios played in the British wartime effort, Nicholas Rank in in his book Churchill’s Wizards (2008 A.D.), itself a history of the elaborate British wartime deceptions and the lengths to which they would go, provides us as an example the British wartime propaganda film Desert Victory (1943 A.D.). Though in the opening credits of the film it was claimed: “In the making of this film four British army cameramen were killed, seven were wounded and six were captured by the enemy,” Nicholas Rankin therein reveals: “…like all films, Desert Victory was fake too. The grim handsome faces illuminated by the gun flashes of the opening artillery barrage were filmed at Pinewood Studios. Cameraman Peter Hopkinson told film historian Kevin Brownlow that the famous shot of the advance of the Australians through smoke was in fact staged behind the Ninth Divisional cookhouse in the Egyptian desert. British soldiers put on German uniforms to play corpses lying beside captured (German army) Panzer tanks. But in his 11 November speech Churchill confessed: ‘I must say, quite frankly, that I hold it perfectly justifiable to deceive the enemy even if at the same time your own people are for a while misled (read: fed lies to conceal their true objectives).” (Author’s Note: There are some who believe the filmed U.S. Apollo moon landings also fall into this same manufactured film category [allegedly filmed by filmmaker Stanley Kubrick employing techniques used in the filming of his 1968 A.D. sci-fi classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey]. Know that it is certainly not without precedent and was in fact a quite a common practice. Perhaps the fact that the Apollo 11 astronauts have been honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame which serves to venerate industry actors is a secretive nod to this very truth). One major performer in this sham film enterprise was Jewish filmmaker Sir Alex Korda (born Sandor Kellner, Korda was the founder of the London Films film production company) who as we learn from p.51 City of Nets: “…carried out a request from (British P.M. Winston) Churchill to use his corporate offices in New York and Los Angeles for the benefit of British Intelligence. ‘These offices would exist for their own sake as a moneymaking enterprise of Alex Korda’s; Michael Korda (Alex Korda’s nephew via his brother Vincent) wrote, ‘but they would also serve as cover for British agents (employed as Hollywood actors) working in what was then neutral America (note this modus operandi, of business enterprises serving as Intelligence front companies). American isolationists had made it difficult for British Intelligence operatives to work freely in the United States, but a movie company offered unparalleled opportunities…’” This would become a favorite tactic on both sides of the Atlantic. One of the more notable British Intelligence agents who operated under cover of the London Films film-production company was British actor Leslie Howard (born Leslie Howard Steiner)—Howard while serving as a British spy would appear in MGM’s Gone with the Wind (1939 A.D.), a film directed by Victor Fleming (whose brother Ian Fleming was British spy Aleister Crowley’s case officer). Of course it was Alex Korda’s London Films’ Denham Film Studios (also a British Intelligence front) which would merge in 1939 A.D. in the early years of WWII with the aforementioned Pinewood Studios Group becoming a part of the abovementioned British Intelligence infested Rank Organization in a concerted effort 781

to coordinate British wartime film industry propaganda efforts. Soon after, in 1941A.D., the British Intelligence agent/filmmaker Alex Korda would co-found The Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers with Walter Wanger, Oddfellow Charlie Chaplin, AMORC-member Walt Disney (himself an ex-RKO employee), Orson Welles (Welles, a director of and actor in RKO films was a magician/palm reader who exhibited a lifelong love of stage magic), Samuel Goldwyn (the ‘G’ in MGM. Goldwyn ties to mobsters Bugsy Siegal and Lucky Luciano through their common mistress, the mob courier Virginia Hill [in 1951 A.D. she was called before the Kefauver Committee hearings on organized crime]), David O. Selznick (also an ex-RKO employee, Selznick himself had produced Gone with the Wind in 1939 A.D.; in 1948 A.D., Alex Korda would sign a co-production agreement with Selznick) and Mary Pickford (most of which individuals along with Alex Korda had been partners in the United Artists group co-founded by actor Douglas Fairbanks). Mary Pickford was married to Douglas Fairbanks—Charlie Chaplin was Fairbanks’ best friend and neighbor. As “America’s unofficial ambassadors to the world,” guests to the Fairbanks-Pickford residence included such exalted Illuminus luminaries as Albert Einstein, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Lord Mountbatten (Douglas Fairbanks son, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., was a highly-decorated WWII U.S. Navy officer who had been assigned to Lord Mountbatten’s Commando staff headquarted in the U.K. [this Beach Jumper group was created by order of Admiral Ernest J. King, Commander in Chief, United States Fleet/Chief of Naval operations under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Assigned to Fairbanks, Jr.’s Beach Jumper command as a war correspondent was writer John Steinbeck, author of The Grapes of Wrath. Initial Beach Jumper assault operations took place during the Allied invasion of Sicily during WWII]. He was also appointed special envoy to South America by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Fairbanks, Jr. was involved in Allied WWII deceptive Intelligence operations and also took part in the Allied invasion of Sicily which was launched in partnership with Mafiosa members. Fairbanks, Jr. a devoted New York-born Anglophile, an actor from the silent film era who like his parents hobnobbed with British aristocrats, was knighted a British knight of the realm and attended bonny Prince Edward’s wedding, and was himself a friend of Sir Laurence Olivier, a British MI5 agent). During WWII, Lord Mountbatten, Chief of Combined Operations, would be succeeded in this powerful position by Major General Sir Robert Edward Laycock, father-in-law to British Intelligence agent David Niven—David Niven personally served under the command of British Brigadier General Dudley Clarke (Dudley Clarke was a friend of the British Director General of Intelligence, Major General Sir Kenneth Strong who would serve as Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence [G-2] at General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Allied Force Headquarters during WWII). Prince Charles, the current Prince of Wales, is Lord Mountbatten’s grand-nephew. Mountbatten would be assassinated by an IRA bomb in 1979 A.D. [Lord Mountbatten’s Broadlands estate interestingly enough had been the scene of a well known UFO encounter in 1955 A.D. which story is related in Above Top Secret pp.40-42]. Of a pertinent note, Alex Korda’s 1940 A.D. film entitled The Thief of Bagdad is itself a celebration of Middle Eastern magic, a tale of the djinn/genii) Another notable individual with the surname of Rathbone was an accomplished musician/playwright and Freemason named Justus H. Rathbone, founder of the mysterious Oddfellows-associated Knights of Pythius secret society 782

(the Knights of Pythius were largely drawn from the ranks of the Oddfellows) founded in Washington D.C. in 1864 A.D. [which closely associated itself with the teachings of the Greek magic-practicing philosopher Pythagoras and with (and I do indeed quote from official Knights of Pythius documents) Pythagoras’ “...knowledge of all the ages. The arts of ancient Egypt, the science of Arabia and the philosophy of Phoenicia, the lore of the Chaldean sages and the occult mysteries of the Persian magi...”; in essence the Knights of Pythius (named after Pythias, a disciple of Pythagoras) is a magic-themed secret society] whose Pythian Temple located in New York City housed British knight of the realm Sir Edward Lewis’ Decca Records recording studio, which at one point served as the record label of The Rolling Stones (Knights of Pythius-members known as Pythian Knights predominantly hailed from the state of Pennsylvania which provided more Pythian Knights than all other states combined. Famous Knights of Pythius members include President Richard M. Nixon and Oddfellows-member/U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt). Justus H. Rathbone was also a member of a secret society called the Improved Order of Red Men (IORM) which was a successor organization to the Revolutionary War era’s Freemasonic Sons of Liberty secret society group responsible for the infamous Boston Tea Party whereat members dressed as Mohawk Indians dumped a ship load of tea into Boston Harbor to protest the newly imposed English Tea Tax in the runup to America’s Revolutionary War [the Sons of Liberty group itself was the creation of Harvard College-grad Samuel Adams]. Many members of the Sons of Liberty group would then go on to serve in the Illuminus general George Washington’s Continental Army during America’s Illuminati-inspired Revolutionary War (U.S. President Abraham Lincoln it is interesting to note was related to General Benjamin Lincoln, an officer in George Washington’s Continental Army). The Improved Order of Red Men were particularly active in California: “One of the founders of the original California Tribe No. 1 was Adam Smith, who had been born in Sembach in the Kingdom of Bavaria (think: Bavarian Illuminati) before immigrating to the United States” (See the Mill Valley Freemasonry website). One of the most notable California Improved Order of Red Men members was the longest serving mayor in the city of San Francisco’s history (who later served as Governor of California from 1931–1934 A.D.), James Rolph, Jr. (1869 – 1934 A.D.), a relative of U.S. Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, husband of Valerie Plame of Plame Affair fame who was outted as a CIA spy by members of the Bush administration in the run-up to America’s war with Iraq. James Rolph, Jr. was in addition a Bohemian Club member (as was U.S. President Richard M. Nixon) and like FDR was a member of the Independent Order of Oddfellows. James Rolph, Jr. was a friend of Hollywood producer Louis B. Mayer (the second M in MGM. MGM would release a film based upon the story of Pythias entitled Damon and Pythias [starring later Lost in Space star Guy Williams] in 1962 A.D.), both of whom were active in California Republican politics along with Oddfellows-member Earl Warren, head of the infamous Warren Commission. James Rolph, Jr. would appear in a number of Hollywood films including a Slim Summerville comedy film (in which he plays himself). Slim Summerville, who appears in a number of films alongside Oddfellows-member Charlie Chaplin would himself go on to appear in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1938 A.D.) alongside OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s own personal magic disciple, the Hollywood actress Jane Wolfe. This Oddfellows link to the OTO (and no doubt many such others exist) is in fact of no small significance considering the OTO’s link to 783

the Church of Satan a prominent member of which (Army Intelligence officer Michael A. Aquino) would play a major role in America’s CIA-associated National Security Agency (NSA).

Other connections do in fact abound between the Spiritualist Movement and 1950s sci-fi pulp novels. Curious books were created through purported cases of automatic-writing through and I quote as in the following case “communications with the other world” by use of the planchette and Ouija “transmission board,” none more peculiar than Jap Herron: A Novel Written from the Ouija Board (1917 A.D.), in its own words the “post-mortem work of Samuel L. Clemens, known to the world as Mark Twain.” In the Introduction to this work, a Ms. Emily Grant Hutchings describes the process by which the novel Jap Herron was transmitted to her psychical research group by the spirit of a deceased Mark Twain (following Twain’s death, Twain would become one of the most popular spirit contacts amongst Spiritualists of the day), who by his own admission was a purported resident of and again I quote the “other world,” and speaks of another short story allegedly dictated in the very same way by deceased author Mark Twain via the Ouija Board entitled A Daughter of Mars, the sci-fi synopses of the story being: “Vallon Leithe (which contains an anagram of a variant spelling of the word ‘Leviathan,’ namely, Leviathon), an enthusiastic aeronaut, was resting after a long flight, when a strange air-craft fell out of the sky, lodging in the top of a great tree. The occupant of the marvelously constructed flying machine proved to be a girl from the planet Mars. Her name was Ulethe…” (‘Ulethe’ is basically a form of ‘Pig Latin’ for ‘Thule’). The publisher of this work, Mitchell Kennerly of New York, was also the American publisher of the magical Fantasy genre works of the Irish author Edward Plunkett (Lord Dunsany), 18th Baron of Dunsany, considered a major influence on writers including H. P. Lovecraft and British author/spy J.R.R. Tolkien (Edward Plunkett worked with Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, cofounders of the Irish Literary Theatre/Abbey Theatre, which included Irish revolutionary Maude Gonne amongst its actresses. Edward Plunkett’s mother was the cousin of the British poet spy, diplomat and East India Company army Captain Sir Richard Burton (one must bear in mind the British East India Company was incorporated during the magical reign of Queen Elizabeth I whose main court advisor was ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee who had also served as a British spy), who was also personally well acquainted with W.B. Yeats, Burton being known for his English publication of the Kama Sutra as well as the One Thousand and One Nights). Edward Plunkett’s Fifty-One Tales collection of stories was published simultaneously in America by Kennerly and in London by a man named Charles Mathews (with simultaneous publications one must assume a collaboration). Of Matthews we learn in Wikipedia: “Charles Elkin Mathews (1851 – 10 November 1921) was a British publisher and bookseller who played an important role in the literary life of late 19th and early 20th century London… Mathews (after previous partnerships) set up on his own, publishing works by his neighbor (the Irish poet and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master) W. B. Yeats, Lionel Johnson, James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Robert Bridges, amongst others.” Another prominent Irish author of note is Frank O’Connor, a member of the First Brigade of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) who later became a member of the Board of Directors of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats’ Abbey Theatre in 784

Dublin who in the 1950-60s taught class at Stanford University in California. Note well these associations as Stanford University in fact has quite extensive Intelligence organization connections. Which brings us to the story of Laurel Canyon (canyon home to Jack Parsons’ sci-fi author/friend [and U.S. government spy] Robert A. Heinlein) and the Intelligence contrived countercultural music scene. But first a little early history of the area: Stage Magician and Spiritualist Harry Houdini (a long time friend of the Society of Psychical Research-associated Theosophical Society-member/Sherlock Holmes-creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, also a fellow Spiritualist; Harry Houdini worked with H.P. Lovecraft on a number of literary enterprises) was an early owner of property in Laurel Canyon, which was the site, most importantly enough to our story, of a super-clandestine film production facility operated by certain U.S. Intelligence services for a number of eventful decades called Lookout Mountain Laboratory overlooking the Los Angeles area and under the command of the U.S. Air Force’s 1352nd Motion Picture Squadron whose mission was to provide inservice production of classified motion pictures and still photographs for the U.S. Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission (now the Department of Energy) between 1947 A.D. and 1969 A.D. including those of some 200 atomic bomb field tests (involving of course collaboration with many of the aforementioned physicists in our saga). In fact, Harry Houdini, it turns out, was himself an American spy—the entire Laurel Canyon area it would seem was U.S. Intelligence related. But more important to the story is the fact Anton LaVey’s blonde bombshell girlfriend Marilyn Monroe (a known mob associate) also had secret clearance to work at this studio (as did numerous other famous Hollywood actors and producers including Bing Crosby, Walt Disney [Walt Disney and his iconic company has had a long U.S. Department of Defense filmmaking relationship] and future U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Such goings on must also be considered in light of the history of the Cold War, the execution in 1953 A.D. of Communist spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg for passing atomic secrets to the Soviets, Truman’s Executive Order 9835, McCarthyism and the anti-communist activities of J. Edgar Hoover, the Second Red Scare [1947 – 1957 A.D.] in the United States and the institution of the Black List in Hollywood on November 25, 1947 A.D. [included on which list was Burgess Meredith (an associate of Eton-attendee Aldous Huxley, Burgess Meredith would later play the Penguin on the comic book-inspired T.V. series Batman) who had been supporting the proIsraeli efforts of Hollywood producer Ben Hecht (as had Anton LaVey)], the Hollywood Ten as well as the House Un-American Activities [HUAC] proceedings [1938–1975 A.D.] which included Walt Disney and Hollywood actor Ronald Reagan in a pre-presidential role [during which time he was working at the aforementioned super-secretive Lookout Mountain Laboratory tasked in providing in-service production of classified motion pictures and still photographs for the Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission involving atomic bomb field tests] providing testimony overseen by a panel which at one time included future U.S. president Richard M. Nixon. Such ‘un-American activities’ included the efforts of those involved in labor unions, in the civil rights movement as well as the antinuclear weapons and anti-nuclear testing movements, which movements resulted in the scrapping of plans to build a nuclear power plant at Bodega Bay [involved in these protest efforts were Frank and Shirley Triest and their various Beatnik friends], north of San Francisco as well as one to be located in Malibu, CA. No doubt some 785

very powerful people including politicians, contractors [including Bechtel Corporation’s John A. McCone who would serve as Director of Central Intelligence (1961 – 1965 A.D.) under U.S. President John F. Kennedy at the height of the U.S. Cold War. Kennedy had forced out Allen Dulles as DCI following the Bay of Pigs fiasco] and mafia-associated union men and their mafia handlers were more than less than happy. For more information on this subject see the Mulholland Falls [1996 A.D.] movie [with actor Bruce Dern no less] which chronicles the story of the L.A. ‘Hat Squad’). Also important to our story is Anton LaVey’s uncle’s business associate, the Jewish mobster Bugsy Siegel (Bugsy Siegel, a Hollywood powerbroker in his own right, like Anton LaVey had himself carried on a sexual affair with Marilyn Monroe [See Norma Jean: My Secret Life with Marilyn Monroe, p.84,87]). Apparently, through his uncle’s connections, Anton LaVey made the aquaintence of both Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky: “A brief period working with an uncle in Las Vegas introduced him [Anton LaVey] to gangsters like Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky [Notable Quote: “LaVey talked with admiration about gangsters like Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky, referring to them as seminal influences on his own philosophy.” – p.144 Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley]; LaVey developed an interest in guns from their acquaintance, something he shared with William S. Burroughs...” p.251 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman (Anton LaVey was also known to go clay pigeon shooting with Alan Watts [Ibid p.252]). Bugsy Siegel was a business associate of Bill (William) Wilkerson, business owner of a trendy club located there in West Hollywood named Ciro’s (established 1940 A.D.; Wilkerson also owned Café Trocadero and was part owner along with Bugsy Siegal and associates [which group included presumably Anton LaVey’s Mafia/Bugsy Siegal-associated uncle] of the Flamingo Casino in Las Vegas [the firm Siegal employed to build the Flamingo was run by Phoenix contractor Del Webb, one-time owner of the New York Yankees and a friend to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover (See p.261 City of Nets). Hoover is famous for denying the very existence of the Mafia]. The Jewish convert/Rat Pack singer Sammy Davis Jr. it is important to note was a member of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan, and fellow Rat Pack-er and mobster crooner Frank Sinatra along with his wife were openly associated with the Mafia; note these Mafia/Church of Satan ties. It is also interesting to note President John F. Kennedy’s brother-in-law was none other than Peter Lawford (the London-born actor Peter Lawford was the son of a British general with family ties to the British aristocracy) who was also a member of the infamous Mafia-associated Rat Pack which group included Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis Jr. In fact, many Hollywood and Broadway stars as well as musicians such as the Army vet/Theosophical Societymember Elvis Presley and Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe performed at Mafiarun casinos lining the glittery Las Vegas Strip [Elvis Presley even starred in a number of Hollywood movies alongside Frank Sinatra’s daughter Nancy Sinatra [Nancy Sinatra was the daughter of Francis Albert Sinatra, aka Frank Sinatra, whose known mob associates included Charles ‘Lucky’ Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Sam Giancana, Carlo Gambino, Goetano Luchese and Joseph Fishetti who was a cousin of Chicago’s mafia boss Al Capone]including the mildly entertaining Speedway (1968 A.D.), and was known to hang out with another member of the Rat Pack, Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis, Jr.; Elvis Presley also hung out regulary with actor Dennis Hopper whose ex-roomate, fellow Presley friend/Warner Bros.© 786

actor Nick Adams (a friend of actor James Dean who appears with James Dean and Dennis Hopper in Rebel Without a Cause [1955 A.D.] directed by Nicholas Ray, all of whom were attendees of the Samson De Brier magic salon along with Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey and Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger. It is alleged Elvis Presley like his friend Sammy Davis, Jr. was a member of the Church of Satan as well), was a member of the Presley retinue affectionately dubbed the Memphis Mafia. Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie and ex-wife Priscilla would later become prominent members of L. Ron Hubbard’s Church of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard being a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge]). Ciro’s was a favorite haunt of made-man Anton LaVey’s girl Marilyn Monroe (as it also was for the aforementioned numerous other Hollywood actors and producers, including future California governor/American president and Bohemian Club-member Ronald ‘Bedtime For Bonzo’ Reagan. Most of the bands of the 1960s and 70s have ties to Laurel Canyon and to Charles Manson, and are themselves composed of children of military Intelligence connected parents (many members themselves also having military backgrounds), located in the clandestine canyon home of a major Intelligence operation, and all were deeply immersed in the MKULTRA LSD scene (prior to musician Frank Zappa moving into Laurel Canyon in 1968 A.D., the house known as the Log Cabin had the previous year been inhabited by Vito Paulekas whose prominent guests had included MKULTRA CIA-psychiatrist Timothy Leary and The Beatles’ George Harrison. Vito Paulekas was a known associate of Anton LaVey). As should be noted, a prodigious dispersion of LSD within the ranks of a newly-minted fan-base coincided with the creation of these newly-founded bands. And all were tied to basically this one California canyon and largely around one mysterious house (a commune-type setup called the Log Cabin run by the aforementioned Frank Zappa) and street and its immediate environs. Timothy Leary’s MKULTRA CIA partner-in-crime Richard Alpert was there and Rolling Stones’ band member Mick Jagger too. And so were Charles Manson Family members with Church of Satan ties (Manson reputedly was a member of the Solar Lodge OTO located in San Bernandino), as well as a group of youthful Hollywood actors who called themselves Young Turks (typical Freemasonic ‘Youth Movement’ nomenclature), including of course, day trippers Jack Nicholson and actor Dennis Hopper (the film Easy Rider [starring Dennis Hopper with Jack Nickolson] was directed by Solar Lodge OTO-member Jerry Kay, who additionally directed other lesser known motorcycle-themed grindhouse movies such as Angels from Hell [an AIP production; one of the stars on this film also appeared on The Monkees t.v. show. Stu Phillips, a composer of music for The Monkees television program, composed the music for this film as well], Hells Angels on Wheels [also with Jack Nicholson. Hell’s Angels head Sonny Barger makes a cameo appearance in this film], and Scorpio Rising [Scorpio Rising was a film by OTO-member Jack Parsons’ one-time neighbor, OTO/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger, an occult-filled homage to gay biker members of some crazy sort of satanic James Dean sex cult {it is alleged James Dean was himself homosexual} (The Wild One [1953 A.D.] film starring Marlon Brando based on the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club did much to popularize the gang amongst young Californians and James Dean reportedly modeled himself upon Brando’s ‘Johnny Strabler’ character complete with homage haircut and long grown sideburns). Actor Dennis Hopper had appeared in James Dean’s final two films Rebel Without a Cause (1955 A.D.), and Giant (1956 A.D.), a 787

later posthumous release]. Dennis Hopper’s father, Jay Hopper, had been a member along with Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard of the OTO’s Agape Lodge in Pasadena, CA (See Blood On the Altar by Craig Heimbichner, The Unknown God by a Thelemite [by definition a member of the OTO] named Martin P. Starr and also Sex and Rockets by John Carter). Equally interesting is the fact Dennis Hopper has stated his father Jay Hopper was an Intelligence officer with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a precursor organization to the CIA (See Hollywood Iconoclast Dennis Hopper Dies at 74, May 30, 2010, Stephen M. Silverman, People.com). In fact, this Laurel Canyon group had all the markings of an OTO commune-type Lodge [organized as a Freemasonic Youth Movement revolutionary group] entirely similar to Jack Parsons’ Parsonage commune/OTO temple, and there is no doubt in my mind that this is what it was. It was part of the so-called Solar Lodge OTO network in which Charles Manson was a member (perhaps as many claim an ‘unofficial’ lodge as it was said to have possessed no ‘official’ charter, none that have surfaced at any rate). And the likely possibility exists that Manson’s own Family commune may have been affiliated with the Solar Lodge OTO which owned a number of small mansions in Los Angeles, a bookstore called ‘The Eye of Horus’ located across the street from the USC campus, a desert property known as the Solar Ranch (so-named as it was owned by the Solar lodge of the OTO) and even leased and operated a gas station in Los Angeles where various cult members worked. (One man in particular who pops up on the Illuminati radar screen is Terry Southern: “In 1953 [the year MKULTRA was officially instituted] Southern…returned to the US and settled in Greenwich Village in New York City. As he had in Paris,** Southern quickly became a prominent figure in the artistic scene that flourished in the village in the late 1950s. He met visual artists including Robert Frank [Zurich, Switzerlandborn Jewish author of The Americans and “lifelong friend of Allen Ginsberg”; “Among his films was the 1959 Pull My Daisy [co-directed with Alfred Leslie], which was written and narrated by (Jack) Kerouac and starred (Allen) Ginsberg, Gregory Corso and others from the Beat circle including Peter Orlovsky who also appear in Andy Warhol’s film, Couch (1965 A.D.) and a pair of other Robert Frank films].” – Wikipedia. It was Robert Frank who directed the unreleased 1972 A.D. Rolling Stones documentary ‘Cocksucker Blues’), Annie Truxell, and Larry Rivers (“During the early 1960s Larry Rivers lived in the Hotel Chelsea notable for its artistic residents including the likes of Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Arthur C. Clarke [Clarke’s friend Paul Bowles (Bowles was an associate of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood) along with William S. Burroughs were also known to have frequented the Hotel Chelsea], Dylan Thomas [Dylan Thomas’ good friend Victor Neuburg had been Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner; in 1953 A.D. Dylan Thomas took part in the Poetry And The Film Cinema 16 symposium which included panellists Amos Vogel and Maya Deren], Sid Vicious and multiple people associated with Andy Warhol’s Factory [Warhol’s 1966 A.D. underground film Chelsea Girls was filmed there at Hotel Chelsea, a testament to the sadistic drug-infected insanities to be Surrealized there in the 1960s homosexual underground magic scene)...” – Wikipedia. Hotel Chelsea was the residence of Harry Smith who had been a member of the same OTO magic lodge as Jack Parsons. Hotel Chelsea it would appear basically served as an East Coast OTO lodge/commune), and through Mason Hoffenberg (with whom Terry Southern penned a sex-strewn novel entitled Candy published in France in 1958 A.D., a ‘best788

seller’ in its day [it was published in America in 1965 A.D. by Lancer Books©, the publisher of Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian© series and of The Beatles Book devoted to all things The Beatles under contract of course with Beatles’ band members; Candy was later adapted into the 1968 A.D. film by the same name featuring Marlon Brando and The Beatles’ bandmember Ringo Starr and included a cameo appearance by everyone’s favorite witch Anita Pallenberg (Anita Pallenberg’s son Marlon sired by Rolling Stones’ bandmember Keith Richards was named after Marlon Brando [See Life p. 270] who had himself personally called to congratulate Pallenberg while she was in hospital having just given birth, a testament to their own close association), who made occasional visits from Paris, he was introduced to leading writers including Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Gregory Corso settling in Geneva, Switzerland (a hotbed of Illuminati activity in which country is located the headquarters of the OTO), where they (he and his wife) lived until 1959. (Terry Southern’s wife) Carol took a job with UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)… The couple made trips to Paris, where they visited (Beatniks) Mason Hoffenberg, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs [at the ‘Beat Hotel’ (spanning the years 1956-1963 A.D.) located at 9 Rue Gît-le-Cœur in Paris, France, where also resided John Starr Cooke’s ‘good friend’ Brion Gysin]… a companion to Beat writers in Greenwich Village, (Terry) Southern was also at the center of Swinging London in the sixties…” – Wikipedia: Terry Southern. Terry Southern was also involved with a number of key Hollywood figures in our story and was involved as well in the creation of the ‘60s seminal film Easy Rider: “Easy Rider is a 1969 American road movie written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper [whose father Jay Hopper had been a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge; Dennis Hopper appears in Andy Warhol’s 1963 A.D. film Tarzan and Jane Regained….Sort Of], and Terry Southern, produced by Fonda and directed by Hopper.” – Wikipedia: Easy Rider. Most if not all of the aforementioned individuals were people involved with Andy Warhol’s Factory in New York City) (**Terry Southern, like Dennis Hopper’s father and Peter Fonda’s father had U.S. Intelligence agency associations and was a friend of Robert F. Kennedy’s friend George Plimpton (George Plimpton also had ties to a number of individuals involved with Andy Warhol’s group): “In 1953, Plimpton joined the influential literary journal The Paris Review, founded by Peter Matthiessen, Thomas H. Guinzburg, and Harold L. Humes, becoming its first editor in chief. This periodical carries great weight in the literary world, but has never been financially strong; for its first half-century, it was allegedly largely financed by its publishers and by Plimpton. Two articles by Richard Cummings, "An American in Paris" (The American Conservative) and "The Fiction of the State" (Lobster), disclose that the CIA provided funds for The Paris Review, using publisher (Prince) Sadruddin Aga Khan’s foundation as a conduit (an Executive Secretary with UNESCO beginning in 1958 A.D., Harvard College-grad Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan served as the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Refugees, 1966 – 1978 A.D. and also worked with UNICEF (along with Terry Southern’s wife. Fellow Harvard College-grad George Plimpton was appointed by U.S. President John F. Kennedy as U.S. Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations serving from 1961 – 1965 A.D.). Sadruddin Aga Khan was the son of former League of Nations president Aga Khan III [an Ishmaili Muslim (Ishmaili Muslims are Sufi mystics descended from the Naziri Ismaili [better known as the Assassins]) who await the coming (release) of their salvator Imam Mahdi (aka Azazel/Asas-el, from whence the group’s name is derived), the long-awaited Twelfth Imam]. Considering the fact Secret Sects of Syria and the Lebanon p.57 links the original Knights Templar group to the Assassins order itself, it is quite interesting to note the existence of a modern-day incarnation of the former Assassins-Templar Order association, and this with Harvard College connections [Pertinent Quote: “It has been 789

said…that the Templars are the heirs of the Assassins…” – The Magical Dilemma of Victor Neuburg by J.O. Fuller]), and that Plimpton was an "agent of influence" for the CIA (“In 2007, an article published by The New York Times supported the claim that founding editor Matthiessen was in the CIA [insert disclaimer here] but stated that the magazine was used as a cover, rather than a collaborator, for his spying activities. In a May 27, 2008 interview with Charlie Rose, Matthiessen stated that he "invented The Paris Review as cover" for his CIA activities.” – Wikipedia: The Paris Review. It is interesting to note George Plimpton appears in the 1998 A.D. film The Last Days of Disco which was distributed in the UK by Warner Bros.©). Peter Matthiessen took the magazine over from Harold Humes and ousted him as editor, replacing him with (George) Plimpton, using it as his cover for his CIA activities. Plimpton was also associated with the literary magazine in Paris, Merlin [edited by a Beatnik drug dealer named Alexander Trocchi (another one of Terry Southern’s friends; Trocchi was a friend of Beatnik artist Wallace Berman as well), Patrick Bowles (Bowles worked on collaborations with Samuel Beckett who ties to T.S. Eliot (many of whose relatives have extensive Harvard connections) and the 1920s Theosophical Society’s Parisian magic scene, the name of the magazine referring to the magic-practicing magician Merlin from King Arthur’s court. Samuel Beckett was also known to have had a brief affair with Peggy Guggenheim who herself had extensive Theosophical Society associations], and George Plimpton himself), which folded because the (U.S.) State Department withdrew its support. Poet laureate Donald Hall (a Harvard and Oxford grad), who had met Plimpton at Exeter was Poetry Editor. One of the magazine’s most notable discoveries was author Terry Southern (himself also no doubt a CIA asset like the others as well), who was living in Paris at the time and formed a lifelong friendship with Plimpton (such ‘friendships’ often masked formal Intelligence associations), along with future classical and jazz pioneer David Amram (David Amram provided the score for the 1959 A.D. Beat generation film Pull My Daisy [directed by the aforementioned Guggenheim Award-winning filmmaker Robert Frank who would later film the aforementioned Cocksucker Blues Rolling Stones documentary. Robert Frank was a close friend of George Segal] narrated by Jack Kerouac and starring Beat poets Allan Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky and Gregory Corso. Amram also worked with folk singers Bob Dylan [a personal friend of OTO-member/Hotel Chelsea resident Harry Smith] and Pete Seeger [a musician whose works were released on OTO-member Harry Smith’s Folkways Records music label], all individuals at the center of student protests in 1960s America).” – Wikipedia: George Plimpton. CIA agent George Plimpton** would then mysteriously morph into a Hollywood actor just in time to film Beyond the Law in Spain in time for the 1968 A.D. student protests there (at about which time his friend and CIA colleague Harold Hume was being jailed in France in connection with the student protests taking place there, a testament to the fact that the CIA had played a central role in fomenting student protests around the world during the so-called Protests of 1968, a subject into which we shall delve more completely). The Paris Review basically promoted CIA-connected writers including Terry Southern, Jack Kerouac and T.S. Eliot and its interviews featured so many of the authors featured within our story. Many of the authors associated with Merlin magazine would write novels published by the Olympia Press—it was Olympia Press which published a French version of Terry Southern’s novel Candy. The father of the founder of the Olympia Press as the reader shall later discover had extensive Aleister Crowley/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [itself the magic practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society]/OTO associations) (**The Plimpton’s and Carradines are related by marriage. George Plimpton’s cousin actress Shelley Plimpton [she appears in folk singer Arlo Guthrie’s 1969 A.D. film, Alice’s Restaurant, along with folk singer Pete Seeger (a musician whose works were released on OTO-member Harry Smith’s Folkways Records music label), Arlo Guthrie and Arlo Guthrie’s father, Woody Guthrie (Woody Guthrie was OTO-member Harry Smith’s friend Bob Dylan’s Greenwich Village ‘mentor’). Wood Guthrie was a friend of George Plimpton] was the mother of actress Martha Plimpton whose father was none other than actor Keith Carradine, son of OTO-member/actor John Carradine and half-brother to 790

Arlo Guthrie was an associate of musician Gene Parsons [he performs on Arlo Guthrie’s 1969 A.D. album Running Down the Road] who played with such associated acts as The Flying Burrito Brothers) Interestingly enough: “Friends of (Andy) Warhol and "superstars" associated with the Factory included Edie Sedgwick (a friend of Chuck Wein, her seventh-great grandfather Major General Robert Sedgwick was a leading member of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and her great-great-great grandfather William Ellery was a signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence.

film producer Victoria Leacock [niece of London-born CBS cinematographer Phillip Leacock], a friend of actor Leonardo Di Caprio and filmmaker Martin Scorcese whose friend Dana Giacchetto [an associate of Timothy Leary’s goddaughter Uma Thurman (a colleague of David Carradine whose father John Carradine was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge), William Morris Agency talent agent/Walt Disney Company© president/art collector Michael Ovitz (co-founder of the Creative Artists Agency whose clients include Drew Barrymore whose grandfather actor John Barrymore was a close friend of actor John Carradine, a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge) and the ill-fated politico John F. Kennedy, Jr. (who with Michael J. Berman would co-found the currently defunct George© magazine), front-runner of a 2000 A.D. New York Senate post whose highly ‘unfortunate’ death by plane crash would fortunately allow for the election of Hillary Rodham Clinton** to this very same senatorial seat] is at the heart of a newly developing Hollywood scandal. U.S. president Bill Clinton had attended Georgetown University alongside Andy Warhol’s sidekick Bob Colacello, the pair graduating within one year of each other in 1968/69 (**“In 1965, Nico [a Paris fashion model] met Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones and recorded her first single, "I'm Not Sayin'" with the b-side "The Last Mile" produced by [Led Zeppelin lead guitarist] Jimmy Page [a friend of Rolling Stones entourage member Kenneth Anger, a known OTO/Church of Satan member] for Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label. Actor Ben Carruthers [who appears in Rosemary’s Baby star John Cassavetes’ 1959 A.D. Beat-themed film, Shadows] introduced her to Bob Dylan [Dylan being a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith] in Paris that summer. In 1967 Nico recorded his song "I'll Keep It with Mine" for her first album, Chelsea Girl [The Velvet Underground, Nico and Bob Dylan as well as Frank Zappa’s band The Mother’s of Invention all worked closely with Harvard University-grad/Harvard New Jazz Societymember/American record producer Tom Wilson]… After being introduced by [Rolling Stones band-member] Brian Jones, she began working in New York with Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey on their experimental films, including Chelsea Girls [filmed at Hotel Chelsea, an OTO bastion]…” – Wikipedia: Nico. Nico and Brian Jones’ former girlfriend Anita Pallenberg appear together in the French film Le Berceau de cristal [1976 A.D.]. The Warhol superstar Nico is romantically linked to Jim Morrison of The Doors: “Nico and Morrison were introduced [in 1967 A.D. in California where they would share a torrid July to August love affair] at ‘The Castle,’ a Los Angeles mansion of the 20’s which was being rented by Arthur Lee and Love [of which Manson Family-member Bobby Beausolleil was a member] and had become a hangout for the Los Angeles/Sunset Strip rock scene.” - Examiner.com: Nico and Jim Morrison. Amongst the women with whom Jim Morrison has also shared a romantic tryst is Jaid Barrymore, ex-wife of actor John Drew Barrymore [son of actor John Barrymore, a close friend of actor John Carradine, a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge] and mother of actress Drew Barrymore)

Concerning the Pasadena, California lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis: “The Riverside Lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis (the OTO): Also known as The Solar Lodge of the OTO, which followed the teachings of cult messiah Aleister Crowley…high priest of the OTO and a British intelligence agent, gave Winifred T. Smith a charter to open an OTO lodge in Pasadena (California). The high priest of the lodge was Jack Parsons, a rocket expert and founder of the California Institute of Technology (CalTech). The OTO’s Solar Lodge in San Bernardino (to which belonged Charles Manson) was presided over by Georgina “Jean” Brayton (aka Gina), the daughter of a ranking Air Force officer in the 1960’s.” - Psychic Dictatorship in the U.S.A. by Alex Constantine, 1995 A.D. As previously noted, Jerry Kay, the art director for the film Easy Rider (a Roger Corman/AIP production which he followed up with a movie called The Devil’s Angels) starring Dennis Hopper (whose father Jay Hopper had been a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge), was a 792

known member of Georgina Brayton’s Solar Lodge OTO. Indeed, it is known that Brayton’s Solar Lodge OTO group included such a Hollywood cult. Brayton’s Solar Lodge was in effect a reincarnation of or rather a direct continuation of Jack Parsons’ original OTO Agape Lodge and which sprang into being when a Ninth (IX°) Degree former member of Jack Parsons’ own OTO lodge, a man named Ray Burlingame,** (sexually) initiated Georgina Brayton into the order; he then mysteriously died shortly thereafter (** presumably a relative of Harvard-grad Edward L. Burlingame [son of Harvard-grad/U.S. diplomat Anson Burlingame for whom Burlingame, CA, located on the San Francisco Peninsula, receives its name] who served on the editorial staff at Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune). Georgina Brayton’s husband was a teacher in the philosophy department at the University of Southern California (and who was no doubt an associate of USC professor/OTO-member Meade Layne, a friend of Aleister Crowley’s former secretary Israel Regardie). It was Brayton who preached the concept of an apocalyptic race war between the black and white races which Charles Manson would later mimick under the so-called moniker ‘Helter Skelter’ (Manson was known to be a frequent visitor to a house at 1251 West Thirtieth Street in Los Angeles owned by Georgina Brayton and rented by members of her Solar Lodge OTO [See The Solar Lodge OTO by Solar Lodge OTO-member Ed Sanders]. Such houses often include a Temple area reserved for magic rituals. Brayton also owned the property known as the Spiral Staircase/Snake Pit in Topanga Canyon which was also frequented by members of the Manson Family including Charles Manson himself who lived there for a time with a group of Brayton’s Solar Lodge OTO members). It was Georgina Brayton and her Solar Lodge OTO which prophecied the onset of an imminant race war between blacks and whites and who had in 1969 A.D. instructed her followers to flee the Los Angeles area by the 21st of June, the time of the summer solstice when Brayton had expected this race war to commence. Solar Lodge OTO members began scouting and preparing desert locales (including Blythe, CA where they were constructing their ‘Ark’) where they could safely escape the expected conflagration (Manson, a member of the Solar Lodge OTO, was likewise preparing for his and the Manson Family’s exodus to the desert at that time as well). At approximately the same time the Solar Lodge OTO leaders were being rounded up and arrested for felony child abuse, Manson was out committing his most infamous murders. In fact, when this June 21st date came and went without the much anticipated apocalypse, Manson in his own words determined he was going to have to “show blackie how to do it,” which is to say, he would show the African-Americans how to start Brayton’s long prophecied though non-occuring race war of which he parroting Brayton herself had so often fervently preached. The notorious Manson murders all took place within months of this June 21st date and may have provided at least the outward impetus for the notorious Tate/LaBianca murders. Georgina Brayton like many occultists before her openly propounded a variation of the Hollow Earth theory. Manson likewise professed the belief in a secret city hidden beneath Death Valley [which location in itself was based on old Shamanic Hopi Indian lore] that could be accessed through a concealed hole in the desert ground. It was there he had determined to wait out the expected race war and thereby survive the expected apocalypse (Manson was associated with Brayton’s OTO group as well as with The Process Church of the Final Judgment. These principles represented his personal belief system as a full-fledged member of both 793

The Process Church of the Final Judgment and Brayton’s Solar Lodge OTO. According to the American Beat poet/musician/OTO-member Ed Sanders who had a front row seat for the whole insane 1960s scene: “The Process Church of the Final Judgment is an English occult society dedicated to observing and aiding the end of the world by stirring up murder, violence and chaos, and dedicated to the proposition that they, the Process, shall survive the gore as the chosen people.” This had in fact been a key component of Manson’s own teachings. As British journalist Peter Haining relates in The Anatomy of Witchcraft (1972 A.D.) pp.119-120 concerning The Process Church of the Final Judgment: “Originally founded in Britain…the presence of the ‘Church’ was first noticed in Los Angeles when Charles Manson claimed to have been a member. The followers wear black capes and profess their major commandment to be ‘Thou Shalt Kill.’ They say they are dedicated to bringing about the end of the world by murder, violence and chaos—but they, the chosen, will survive to build a new world of Satanic glory. The Processors conduct a (Black Mass) service of devil worship in which drugs play a major role.” Manson as is related in The Family likewise took to wearing such a black cape signifying his membership in The Process Church of the Final Judgment. As Richard Cavendish explained concerning the significance of the black cape in his 1967 A.D. release The Black Arts p.329, which book on the subject of magic and witchcraft doubtless influenced the Process Church as well as Process Church-member Charles Manson [Manson adhered to a number of practices outlined in this book, or simple variations of them], traditionally, a “Black Mass” Satanic ritual “celebrant” would often wear “a black cope,” by definition a priest’s ceremonial cape. The Black Mass of the Satanists is akin to the Roman Catholic Mass excepting the fallen angel Satan is invoked in the place of the Christian God. To better understand these events and to put such events into perspective, some background information is required. The year of the Manson murders in 1969 A.D. was the year of peak membership in the Black Panthers revolutionary group which was founded in Oakland, CA in 1966 A.D. on the heels of the Watts Riots in Los Angeles circa 1965 A.D. and which grew to include Black Panthers chapters in most of the major U.S. cities. This was during the days of the African-American Civil Rights Movement in America and these murders occurred the year following the assassination of Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968 A.D. (in fact, when Manson shot Bernard Crowe he had mistakenly thought Crowe to have been a Black Panther member). One of the co-founders of the Black Panther Party was Huey P. Newton who had connections with the Nation of Islam (by definition a group of the U.F.O. religion sort) and who had openly propounded what he had termed “revolutionary humanism.” Oddly enough [and perhaps even revealingly enough] it was three members of the Nation of Islam who assassinated AfricanAmerican Civil Rights revolutionary leader Malcolm X in 1965 A.D. And perhaps this explains the true reason for its creation—COINTELPRO. It is extremely interesting to note the BBC foreign journalist devoted to the coverage of the Civil Rights Movement in America at this time, namely, Sir Charles Wheeler, had served as an Intelligence agent during WWII under British spy Ian Fleming (Ian Fleming being British spy Aleister Crowley’s case officer).

794

One interesting African-American Civil Rights Movement activist of note was the actor and Laurel Canyon resident Marlon Brando (which renders him suspect as being an Intelligence operative, by definition a ‘plant’). Marlon Brando was a good friend of Donald Seaton Cammell (the two even co-authored a number of novels including Fan-Tan and Madame Lai): “Donald Seaton Cammell (17 January 1934 – 24 April 1996) was a Scottish film director who enjoys a cult reputation thanks to his debut film Performance (distributed by Warner Bros.©), which he co-directed with Nicolas Roeg** (“Performance is a 1968 British crime drama film; the film was produced in 1968 but not released until 1970. Directed by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, Performance stars James Fox and Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones in his film acting debut.”)…Cammell was born in the Camera Obscura (then known as Outlook Tower) on Castlehill, near the castle in Edinburgh, Scotland, the son of the poet and writer (and known British spy) Charles Richard Cammell (a friend of Victor Neuburg).*** The older Cammell wrote a biography of Aleister Crowley (also a British spy) focusing principally on the occultist’s poetry (much of Crowley’s poetry being pornographic in nature). Crowley, who lived near the Cammells for a time, knew the young Donald (who was even said to have had sat on Aleister Crowley’s knee! As Donald Cammell would himself later recall: “My father filled the house with magicians, spiritualists and demons.”). A prodigy, he was a society portrait painter (painting in Paris during the 1950s) and thanks to family connections, a prominent fixture of the ‘swinging London’ social scene (partly centered on King’s Road which runs the length of Chelsea in London’s West End) of the 1960s, specifically of what became known as the ‘Chelsea Set’ (Chelsea was a wealthy district of London. Chelsea during the 1960s/1970s Swinging London period was the home to all of The Beatles band members and Rolling Stones band members Brian Jones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards who were all a part of the aforementioned ‘Chelsea Set’ with which Donald Seaton Cammell, a member of the Rolling Stones band members’ inner circle of friends, associated, and with which Church of Satan/OTO-member Kenneth Anger was also closely connected. Chelsea itself had been the 1890’s home of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s magick lodge at the time Aleister Crowley was a member of the order, and perhaps such a lodge was located there in the Cammell residence itself).” – Wikipedia: Donald Seaton Cammell (** Nicolas Roeg had previously to the filming of Performance in 1968 A.D. 795

worked as a cinematographer on the Roger Corman-produced British horror film The Masque of the Red Death [1964 A.D.] starring Dennis Hoppers protégé Vincent Price and on Casino Royale [1967 A.D.], produced in part by John Huston and starring British Intelligence agent David Niven, based on a novel penned by British Intelligence agent Ian Fleming, British spy Aleister Crowley’s case officer) (Keith Richards [and Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull in 1968 A.D., the year of Robert Kennedy’s assassination] resided on Cheyne Walk, a historic street in Chelsea steeped in magic tradition, lying just west of the site of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries’ own Chelsea Physic Garden, a property donated to the society by that magical knight of the British realm Sir Hans Sloane whose collection of medieval magic manuscripts would become the foundation of the infamous British Museum. Famous residents of Cheyne Walk include the aforementioned Sir Hans Sloane, British P.M. David Lloyd George and Hilaire Belloc, a close friend of the legendary British spymaster/Scottish author John Buchan. Cheyne Walk had also been home to the Sage of Chelsea, Thomas Carlyle [whose home there in Chelsea had served as the main British base of operations for Carbonarimember Giuseppe Mazzini], Ralph Waldo Emerson’s lifelong friend. Cheyne Walk was also the location of the Carlyle Mansions: “Carlyle Mansions is a block of flats located on Cheyne Walk, in the Chelsea area of London, England. Built in 1886, it was named after Thomas Carlyle [aka the Sage of Chelsea], himself a resident of Chelsea for much of his life. Carlyle Mansions is nicknamed the "Writers’ Block," as it has been home to Henry James, Erskine Childers [who had held a reserve commission in the Intelligence arm of the Royal Navy under Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty], T.S. Eliot [a poet/spy], Somerset Maugham [a known British spy], Ian Fleming [a well known British spy] and other noted authors.” – Wikipedia: Carlyle Mansions. Cheyne Walk and the Carlyle Mansions had quite the British Intelligence association. Chelsea was also the location of the manorial home of Renaissance Humanist Sir Thomas More, a testament to its extensive magical associations). (***Donald Cammell’s father Charles Richard Cammell was heir to the shipping fortune of the Cammell Laird ship building company located at Birkenhead in Merseyside, near Liverpool. One of the company’s founders, William Laird, along with his sons, British M.P. John Laird and his brother Macgregor Laird had provided a flotilla of ships for the British East India Company as well as a number of Confederate [CSA] raiding ships including the famed Confederate raider CSS Alabama (the Civil War-era CSA spy James D. Bulloch had personally negotiated for the ship’s construction and used Liverpool as his base of operations). Note well these Cammell-family Carbonari associations. Birkenhead’s dock system itself is part of the Port of Liverpool facility, and from Liverpool one may take the ferry which prior to the onset of airline travel provided a direct link between the Theosophical Society’s lodge located in Merseyside with a direct link to its lodge in Dublin. Liverpool [from which the rock band The Beatles originates] was itself a central location linking all Theosophical Society lodges as Liverpool was linked to New York, home of the Theosophical Society’s mother lodge [as well as to the European continent] by passenger ship and to London by rail)

Basically, Performance was the film adaptation of what amounted to the lifestyle with which Donald Cammell had been involved, his life in a fictional setting portrayed on film. According to Cammell’s biography: “In writing the screenplay he drew on his familiarity with the London underworld of the 1960s and association with the pop musicians of the day.” One of the characters in the movie was based on the East End gangster/convicted murderer Jimmy Evans whom Cammell had known personally and to whom it would seem he was evidently beholden. In fact, The Rolling Stones band members’ 796

very good friend Tony Sanchez was a very high-placed member of the aforementioned Swinging London scene and associate to London gangsters who had had associations with all of the London-area gangsters of the day, many of them drug-related and involved in international drug dealing operations (Tony Sanchez himself was a well known drug dealer, he being the notable author of a book entitled I Was Keith Richards Drug Dealer. Notable Tony Sanchez Quote: “…as a boy I worked in Soho, first as a nightclub bouncer, then as a croupier [by definition a casino worker; Sanchez admits these games were both illegal and rigged in the house’s favor], so I knew exactly where to go for anything from a lid of grass [marijuana] to a Thompson submachine gun [including obtaining supplies of heroin and cocaine for drug users including Rolling Stones band members]. Consequently people in the rock world had come to use me as a reluctant go-between in their flirtations with the London underworld.” - pp. 9-10 Up and Down with the Rolling Stones. Tony Sanchez even: “…had a cousin who had gone way, way off the rails and who had become deeply immersed in organized crime… He told me stories about being chased by police cars, about the twins (the organized crime-linked brothers Ronald and Reginald Kray, nightclub owners and darlings of the Swinging London scene who hobnobbed with British politicians as well as with actors and actresses (including Judy Garland and Diana Dors [British actress Diana Dors had worked for Joseph P. Kennedy’s RKO and was a contract actress under the Rank Organization, itself a British Intelligence front. Diana Dors is pictured on The Beatles’ ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ album cover]) and entertainers including the mob-connected Frank Sinatra and Bugsy Siegel’s friend, George Raft. One link between the Kray Twins and British spy Aleister Crowley is Crowley’s friend, British Labour Party M.P. Tom Driberg who had additionally served as an MI5 agent [Driberg was M.P. under British Labour Party Prime Minister Clement Atlee— Driberg additionally served as Labour Party chairman]. Tom Driberg was also an associate of U.S. counterintelligence czar James Angleton’s friend W.H. Auden [and W.H. Auden had served as a ‘mentor’ to Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood] and had ties to Frank Buchman’s Oxford Group Movement/Moral ReArmament, itself known for its post-war CIA connections (Tom Driberg had gotten his start in journalism [a common cover for spying operations] spending time with Frank Buchman and reporting on Buchman’s group for a newspaper story) and had personally at one 797

point met Adolf Hitler. While serving as Labour Party M.P., Tom Driberg*** would meet the Kray Twins in 1963 A.D., the beginning of a long friendship with the Twins and their known mafia associates. Tom Driberg was later to be introduced to Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones in 1965 A.D. Driberg’s own ‘close’ friend Lord Boothby, who also had ties to the Kray Twins [the father of MI5/MI6 agent-turnedauthor John le Carrѐ was also an associate of the Kray Twins which serves to highlight the Kray Twins’ own British Intelligence associations which were in fact extensive],** was a close personal friend of British P.M. Winston Churchill and a cousin to Rosalind Kennedy) who were ruling the East End of London (it was the East End of London interestingly enough where British spy Aleister Crowley’s personal secretary Israel Regardie [likely himself a British spy as well] was born) with a panache Capone himself would have envied” (Ibid p. 37). It was this cousin who arranged for Sanchez to become a croupier: “…at a little Mayfair club he had an interest in called Le Chat Noire (French for ‘The Black Cat,’ a vaudeville/cabaret nightclub. The spy-filled Fleming family, it must be noted, hailed from Mayfair themselves and the post-WWII MI5 British Intelligence network would be headquartered there on Curzon Street in Mayfair until 1976 A.D., and the U.S. Embassy itself [home to U.S. Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.] was located in Mayfair from 1938-1960 A.D., also serving as U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s headquarters and as the European headquarters of the United States Navy during WWII). The work was interesting, but by far the most exciting part of it, for me, was the extraordinary opportunity it afforded to meet the corpse d’ elite of London’s criminal fraternity. Albert Dimes, the steely-eyed Italian Godfather whose territory covered all of the West End had a nightclub in Soho, and he became a firm friend. I have heard that he was once one of the most feared men in England… Albert Dimes…ruled Soho with a rod of iron” (Ibid p.39). (** The Kray Twins reportedly ran a male child sexual abuse ring catering to many top people of a homosexual inclination which group allegedly included Lord Boothby [notorious for his wild weekend sex parties] and used compromising photographs to extort hapless clients. Meanwhile, across the pond, a number of well-known figures involved in our immoral little story would be implicated in the so-called Franklin Satanic cult/sex/drug ring [for more information see The Franklin Cover-Up: Child Abuse, Satanism, and Murder in Nebraska authored by former Nebraska Senator John DeCamp, 1992 A.D.] which also involved cover-ups and allegations of Satanic ritual child sexual abuse, compromising photographs and extortion involving a number of prominent U.S. citizens and top politicians in Washington D.C. and dating all the way back to 1968 A.D. Many individuals involved in bringing this case to light have met mysterious untimely deaths included amongst whose ranks 798

was Gary Caradori, an investigator for the Nebraska State Legislature who along with his son was killed in a suspicious mid-air plane explosion while enroute from Illinois to Nebraska with a suitcase full of incriminating evidence, as well as the suiciding of one Craig Spence who had allegedly been involved in clandestine “homosexual blackmail operations for the CIA.” And unsurprisingly enough there was also an Iran/Contra connection as well as money from the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union at the center of the operation “somehow found its way to the Nicaraguan contra rebels (who were known to have been clandestinely armed during the Reagan presidency)…”—it also links to the CIA’s MKULTRA program. Notably enough, Franklin Credit Union founder Larry King had ties to former Church of Satan-member Michael A. Aquino [and to his Temple of Set], Aquino being a well known Intelligence officer who was himself allegedly involved in MKULTRA mind control experimentation [hence the MKULTRA/Satanic connections] and who was himself at the center of a child sexual abuse scandal at the Presidio in San Francisco. For additional information on this matter, see also George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography by Webster G. Tarpley/Anton Chaitkin, 1986 A.D.) (***1940s-50s Beatnik era poets meet the 1960s Swinging London scene through American publisher Jay Landesman, a friend of Beat poets Gerd Stern [Gerd Stern connects to a number of individuals associated with MKULTRA and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn], Carl Solomon and Allen Ginsberg [See p.27 From Beat Scene Poet to Psychedelic Multimedia Artist in San Francisco and Beyond, 1948-1978]: “While running an art gallery and salon in the Little Bohemia district of St Louis, Landesman founded the quarterly magazine Neurotica in 1948, based in New York City from 1949, which became an outlet for the Beat Generation of writers including John Clellon Holmes, Carl Solomon (as Carl Goy), Larry Rivers, Judith Malina and Allen Ginsberg… Landesman [coowner of the Crystal Palace Cabaret Theater in St. Louis] had married his second wife Fran [Deitsch] in 1950, and the couple moved to London with their two sons in 1964. He hung out with the homosexual Labour MP Tom Driberg and his Filipino companion… their Islington home [in the London Burrough of Islington, burrough home to Rolling Stones’ drummer Charley Watts] became the venue for hundreds of parties typical of the [Swinging London] era.” – Wikipedia: Jay Landesman.

“(Donald) Cammell’s life really got started in Paris in the early sixties (1960s); a student of the occult…meeting with Marlon Brando in the Parisian bohemian circles...” – p. 312 Turn Off Your Mind. Concerning the actor James Fox who appeared in Donald Cammell’s film Performance: “(Donald) Cammell knew Fox from the Chelsea Set, the same King’s Road coterie (OTO/Church of Satan member/Rolling Stones-inner circle member Kenneth) Anger moved in (J. Paul Getty, Jr., the son of Kenneth Anger’s patron J. Paul Getty, was even Mick Jagger’s neighbor at one point in time). Cammell’s Paris apartment had become something of a watering hole for the (Rolling) Stones and friends on their frequent journey’s to Morocco to meet up with William (S.) Burroughs, Brion Gysin (Brion Gysin was a ‘good friend’ of occultist John Starr Cooke who himself had many Intelligence associations) and the Joujouka pipers (the Joujouka pipers are Sufi trance musicians called ‘The Master Musicians of Joujouka’; a Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka record album was released by Rolling Stones Records© in 1971 A.D. It is said other disciples of this Joujouka cult included Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, as well as musicians David Bowie, a Warhol Factory stalworth [Notable David Bowie Quote: “Rock has always been the devil’s music…” - David Bowie, Rolling Stones Magazine, 799

Feb. 12, 1976 A.D.], Robert Palmer and Patti Smith whose musical output had no

doubt been influenced thereby. As Patti Smith explains in the liner notes of her Radio Ethiopia [1976 A.D.] album, the ultimate goal of those of her ilk was to “release the…angels of Abaddon.” Patti Smith was notably enough a resident of Hotel Chelsea, the OTO bastion situated in New York City)…(Filmmaker) Roman Polanski (whose wife Sharon Tate was murdered by OTO/Church of Satanconnected Manson Family members) was another friend and frequent visitor.” – Ibid pp. 312, 313. So we can see how interrelated all of these people actually were. As OTO-member Gary Lachman writes, Performance was: “Filmed in 1968 with a real rock star, real sex, real drugs, real gangsters and, so legend has it, real black magic” (Ibid p.314). Performance had indeed been filmed in the finest magical Kenneth Anger filmmaking tradition. The Swinging London scene during the 1960s pivoted it would seem upon the Robert Fraser Gallery: “(Robert) Fraser (1937–1986 A.D.) became well known as a trendsetter during the Sixties — Paul McCartney (of The Beatles) has described him as ‘one of the most influential people of the London Sixties scene.’ His London flat and his gallery were the foci of a ‘jet-set’ salon of top pop stars, artists, writers and other celebrities, including members of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones (as Rolling Stones band-member Keith Richards explains in Life p.141: “…with the Beatles and us, it was a very friendly relationship.”), photographer Michael Cooper (Michael Cooper had in fact assisted Rolling Stones entourage inner-circle member Kenneth Anger in the filming of Lucifer Rising [See p.181 Anger by Bill Landis], with Michael Cooper even personally shooting a portion of the film [Ibid p.240]), designer Christopher Gibbs (the nephew of the former British governor of Rhodesia in Africa, the Eton educated Sir Humphrey Gibbs who had served as an RAF officer during WWII), Marianne Faithful, Dennis Hopper (who introduced Fraser to satirist Terry Southern) (Dennis Hopper being a friend of Charles Manson), William (S.) Burroughs and (OTO/Church of Satan-member/Samson De Brier magic salon attendee) Kenneth Anger (a friend of Manson Family convicted murderer, Bobby Beausoleil, a known Church of Satan attendee). Because of this he was given the nickname ‘Groovy Bob.’ He is also thought to be an inspiration for the character ‘Dr. Robert’ in the song of the same name on The Beatles album Revolver [by definition a handgun with a revolving cylinder of chambers]. Fraser sponsored the 1966 exhibition by Yoko Ono at the Indica Gallery at which she first met John Lennon (three years prior to meeting John Lennon, Yoko Ono appeared in Michael Findlay’s 1965 A.D. sexploitation ‘roughie’ film, Satan’s Bed. Michael Findley was creator of the infamous film Snuff [aka The Slaughter, filmed in 1971 A.D. but not released by Allan Shackleton until 1976 A.D.] which purported to be a true to life snuff film [showing the disemboweling of one of its actresses by the film crew], a filmed murder. According to OTO-member Ed Sanders in his book The Family, the Manson Family committed many such murders which were then typically caught on film, Sanders himself therein coining the term ‘snuff’ film. Some of these may have been films of contracted murders, and some as alleged for the benefit of cash paying customers. Convicted murderer David Berkowitz contends the Son of Sam murders, typically murders committed with revolvers [by definition a handgun with a revolving cylinder of chambers], were likewise filmed. According to investigative reporter Maury Terry as related in his book The Ultimate Evil, Charles Manson was a member of the Son of Sam cult in which Berkowitz was a member).” – Wikipedia: 800

Robert Fraser (art dealer). Robert Fraser’s gallery also featured works by artist Andy

Warhol: “He [Robert Fraser] did Warhol’s first thing in London, showing Chelsea Girls [filmed at the Hotel Chelsea, an OTO bastion] in his flat.” – Life p.199. So as we discover, the OTO Topanga Canyon magic group was also at the heart of 1960s Swinging London as well as Andy Warhol’s Factory group. Keith Richards’ girlfriend Anita Pallenberg had ties to the New York-based Off-Broadway theatrical group known as the Living Theatre (many Hollywood film actors/actresses were doubly involved in Broadway plays and this was true of Marlon Brando as well) which as Keith Richards explains in Life p.221 was also active in Rome, Italy: “Anita’s Roman world centered around the Living Theatre (which falls into the ‘agitprop theater’ category), the famous anarchist-pacifist troupe run by Judith Malina (Judith Malina had studied theater at The New School for Social Research in 1945 A.D. under Erwin Piscator, a close associate of Bertolt Brecht** [both Piscator and Brecht were prior residents of Sanary-sur-Mer, a favorite haunt for mystics in France]) and Julian Beck (Julian Beck appears in Roy Radin’s film The Cotton Club; Roy Radin would later himself be murdered), which had been around for years (originally founded in 1947 A.D., the Living Theatre is still in existence today) but was coming into its own in this period of activists and street demos (read: a period of anarchist street demonstrations)…The Living Theatre was particularly insane, hard core…Their main actor, a handsome black man named Rufus Collins, was a friend of Robert Fraser, and they (the Living Theatre group) were a part of the Andy Warhol and Gerald Malanga connection (Gerald Malanga, Andy Warhol’s assistant from 1963 – 1970 A.D., filmed The Recording Zone Operator in Rome at this time in 1968 A.D. which film featured Anita Pallenberg and members of the Living Theatre group). And so it all went around in a little avante-garde elite, as often as not drawn together by a taste for drugs, of which the LT (Living Theatre) was a center (they likely using the film as a front for a drug smuggling operation).” Witches and other practitioners of magic (and Intelligence agents as well) being involved in various theatrical groups is in fact a quite common thread throughout our story. It is also interesting to discover the presence of both the anarchistic Living Theatre theatrical group and the filming of the film Barbarella in Rome, Italy in 1968 A.D. which coincided with countrywide student/unions/workers protests and riots which is yet another common thread amongst such Illuminatilinked Intelligence groups. Notably enough, most of the individuals therewith involved including Barbarella-star Jane Fonda were residents at one time or another of the Chelsea Hotel [the film location of Warhol’s Chelsea Girls] in New York City, a bastion of OTO activity (and like Dennis Hopper, Jane Fonda and Kenneth Anger, were Samson De Brier [Sam-son De = Son of Sam cult] magic salon attendees as well) (** Another New School for Social Research connection to Rolling Stones bandmember Keith Richards and his group is the British painter/printmaker Stanley William Hayter, a New School for Social Research teacher of the printmaking arts [Hayter had also served a stint as a teacher at Black Mountain College]. Anais Nin’s husband Hugh Parker Guiler had himself auspiciously studied under Stanley William Hayter in Paris [a banker by trade, Guiler was a financial supporter of the arts, the recipients of his patronage including Anais Nin and Henry Miller]. Anais Nin, a friend of Keith Richard’s friend Kenneth Anger, had a cousin named Eduardo Sanchez who undoubtedly links to Keith Richard’s friend Tony Sanchez, the author of the book entitled I Was Keith Richards 801

Drug Dealer. And perhaps this was the very cousin who has been described as having gone way “off the rails.” It is also of interest to note one of the CIA’s top assassins at this time [who was allegedly involved in both the JFK and RFK assassinations] was a member of the Sanchez family as well: David “El Indio” Sanchez Morales. There is American blood on that Union Jack). Robert Fraser was an Eton grad who during the 1950s served as a British officer in The King’s African Rifles which was: “…the strong arm of [British] colonial authority in East Africa” and who had in fact been “posted in Uganda where Idi Amin [later Ugandan military dictator] was his sergeant.” See Life p.199 [Notable Quote: “Idi Amin once enjoyed a UFO sighting on the shores of Lake Victoria and wisely explained that it meant ‘good luck to Uganda.’” - Eccentric Lives and Peculiar Notions by Rolling Stones’ entourage-member John Michell. No doubt this story was provided to him by Robert Fraser himself]). Robert Fraser associated with London gangsters connected to the Kray Brothers including Rolling Stones’ entourage-member Tony Sanchez (Sanchez was Robert Fraser’s drug dealer and supplier of drugs to Rolling Stones’ band members as well) and David Litvinoff, the production adviser on Nicolas Roeg’s and Donald Cammell’s film Performance (See Life pp. 202-203). (Author’s Note: Notable Eton grads, also known as Old Etonians, include the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion Robert Boyle [Boyle was a Rosicrucian member of the Invisible College which gave birth to the Royal Society], Fellow of the Royal Society Prince William of Wales, heir to the British throne, British superspy Ian Fleming and our old English spy friend Aldous Huxley. Nineteen British Prime Ministers including William Gladstone (a supporter of the South during America’s Civil War) and the Illuminus Carbonari P.M. Benjamin Disraeli, and most recently, avid philosopher/P.M. David Cameron, were/are all Eton grads. Another Eton grad, former SAS Intelligence officer Simon Mann, is currently in jail in Equatorial Guinea for his part in a failed coup attempt. Eton, commonly known as the ‘school that runs Britain,’ must be added to the list of Illuminati ‘places of interest’) Terry Southern was himself a close friend of British photographer Michael Cooper who was a member of The Rolling Stones’ inner-circle (Keith Richards also considered Cooper to be a “good friend” [See Life p.203]) who served as the band’s photographer. It was Michael Cooper who photographed The Beatles’ Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band© album cover with its assembled crew of conspiratorial Illuminati. As we learn from Wikipedia:Michael Cooper (photographer): “In 1964 Cooper met London art dealer Robert Fraser, through whom he was introduced to leading figures in music, art and literature, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones (the rock band he worked most closely with), Marianne Faithfull, Eric Clapton, artists Francis Bacon (whose inner-circle of friends included artist Lucian Freud [grandson of psychiatrist Sigmund Freud and a friend of the Kray Twins. Circa 2013 A.D., Francis Bacon’s painting entitled ‘Three Studies of Lucian Freud’ was purchased for $142 million, this being the highest price ever paid for a painting at auction], John Deakin [a member of a British Army film unit during WWII], Daniel Farson [whose father was an American reporter named Negley Farson, son of a Civil War general; Daniel Farson’s claim to fame was that he had been “patted on the head by Adolf Hitler” while accompanying his father in Germany where he had been reporting on the Nazi regime; his father also just so happened to be “present in Petrograd the day the Bolshevik Revolution broke out”]), Andy Warhol 802

(who appears on The Beatles’ ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ album cover), Peter Blake (Blake was the artist who designed the record sleeve for The Beatles’ ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ album) and David Hockney (an artist friend of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood who was born with Synesthesia) and writers William S. Burroughs (his picture is also portrayed on the Sgt. Pepper’s album), Jean Genet (“In 1970 the Black Panthers invited him to the USA, where he stayed for three months giving lectures, attending the trial of their leader, Huey Newton, and publishing articles in their journals.” – Wikipedia: Jean Genet), Terry Southern and Allen Ginsberg.” Quite the interesting bunch of illuminated characters indeed. It was in the Chelsea neighborhood of London where Dr. Timothy Leary’s assistant Michael Hollingshead, directly after leaving Leary’s psychedelics-centered Millbrook estate and during what Hollingshead refers to in CIA jargon as “Operation London,” would open the World Psychedelic Centre in 1966 A.D. at his flat in London, England with Old Etonians at its helm as both President and Vice-president (See The Man That Turned on the World Chapter 6 by Michael Hollingshead). Of this operation Hollingshead therein explains: “My associations in this period with a select group of young aristocrats and artists and musicians and writers, responsible for influencing sharply the patterns of the New Vanguard of British culture and intellectual life (by definition, ‘agents of influence’), was felicitous in the extreme; but it cannot be held solely responsible for making a revolutionary of me. I was certainly surrounded by a number of high-powered anarchists (as Hollingshead therein explains: “Their rebellion was typical of this period; the Establishment was the enemy, the representative of the rigid patterns they felt needed to be violently rearranged.” Also ‘typical’ of this period was Hollingshead’s extensive Intelligence associations). My partner, Desmond O’Brien, was already achieving renown as one of the most far-out LSD exponents in London and had even been described in one publication as ‘Mr. LSD’; and our Vice-President, Joey Mellen, one of the first persons to trepan himself, had already embarked on a career as a priest in a new order which was to make him a distinguished figure of great importance to English evolutionary religion (Joey Mellen was author of the book Bore Hole about his attempts at self-trepanation while high on LSD [Pertinent Quote: “All (magic) rites…are variations on…trying to attain Godhead… Earlier cultures built their entire life-style around their religious ceremonies, and this search for Godhead. Various kinds of drugs were used by the Indians to speed up the process… For many centuries the most widely practiced shortcut to…(“Godhead”)…was a grisly operation called trephination. This involved cutting a hole in the top of the skull to expose part of the brain… Trephination is still practiced by cults in Europe (including the one that was headed by Joey Mellen), and they claim that it works, that a hole in the head…greatly increases psychic ability. Unfortunately, however, many of the (magic) rites performed by modern seekers of truth merely…create a backlash of (demonic) possession and insanity.” – p.198 The Cosmic Question by John A. Keel, 1975 A.D.]. As we learn from Rolling Stones’ inner-circle member John Michell in Eccentric Lives & Peculiar Notions [1984 A.D.]: “The account in Bore Hole of its author’s career during the 1960s constitutes a valuable record of the peculiar atmosphere of the period. Joey’s friends included drug-addict crooks and con-men, as well as many of the young artists and aristocrats of avant-garde society 803

(a number of whom were no doubt members of Joey Mellon’s ‘cult’). Among these were Jane Ormesby-Gore and her future husband, Michael Rainey, whose Chelsea boutique purveyed colourful outfits to Beatles, Rolling Stones and others of fame and rank; Christopher Gibbs who provided the same sort of customers with fine English furniture and country houses; Kenneth Anger the mystical film-maker; Sir Mark Palmer, the Queen’s page who rose to become an itinerant [Gypsy] horsedealer; Lord Timothy Willoughby who disappeared from his boat in the Mediterranean; and Joshua Macmillan, a grandson of the then Prime Minister [Harold Macmillan] and an early victim of alcohol and amphetamines combined.”). In addition to my colleagues, associates of the World Psychedelic Centre (Hollingshead’s: “…flat in Pont Street, Chelsea, was headquarters to the World Psychedelic Centre where neophytes could enjoy their LSD experience in a pleasant atmosphere with music and soft lights.” – Ibid p.147. Basically he hosted LSD-fueled raves in his home) included such notables as Victor Lownes,** who co-founded the Playboy empire with Hugh Heffner; Julian Ormsby-Gore, the film maker (Julian was the son of William David Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech, a distant though closely associated cousin of the Kennedy family); Alex Trocchi, the philosopherwriter (Scottish Beat writer/drug dealer Alex Trocchi was a friend of CIA agent George Plimton [himself a friend of Terry Southern] who was appointed by President John F. Kennedy as U.S. deputy ambassador to the U.N. serving from 1961 - 1965 A.D. George Plimpton was also a good friend of Robert Kennedy [the Kennedys are themselves related to the Ormsby-Gores]. Alex Trocchi was also a friend of Brian Barritt with whom Hollingshead’s friend/CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary would perform his Crowleyan sex-magic rituals in Africa following Leary’s escape from prison; Alexander Trocchi also ties to Wallace Berman’s group of Beat writers/artists/poets/filmmakers which group included Dennis Hopper, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Kenneth Anger’s friend Marjorie Cameron); Michael O’Dwyer, the art gallery owner; Julie Felix, the singer; George Andrews, the poet; Jo Berke (Joseph Berke), the psychiatrist working with Ronnie Laing (better known as R.D. Laing, a Tavistock Institute psychotherapist and associate of Bertrand Russell); Feliks Topolski, the painter (an official British war artist); John Hopkins, the writer (a major figure in this London Underground, John Hopkins did much to publicize it. Hopkins was a founder of the UFO Club, served as a photographer for such bands as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and photographed many well known figures of his day including Allen Ginsberg and Martin Luther King); Nick Douglas, the painter; Kim Ella, the singer; Ian Sommerville, the multi-media expert (primarily known for his association with the William S. Burroughs-circle of Beat Generation figures, Sommerville at one point resided at the Beat Hotel in Paris with his lover William S. Burroughs [along with Bryon Gysin, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky, Gregory Corso and Harold Norse spanning the years 1956 – 1963 A.D.] and collaborated on various projects with John Starr Cooke’s ‘good friend’ Brion Gysin; he also had associations with various Beatles’ bandmembers); Roman Polanski, the film maker; Bart Hughes, the high priest of the trepanation movement; Sir Roland Penrose (artist friend of Pablo Picasso, Jean Varda [Jean Varda was a friend of British artist/poet Julian Trevelyan (Trevelyan had worked alongside Pablo Picasso and Max Ernst in Paris and had served as a Camouflage Officer for British Intelligence during WWII) whose father R.C. Traveylan was a Cambridge Apostles member whose associates included 804

Bloomsbury Group-ers (including Bertrand Russell) and George Santayana. Jean Varda was also a good friend of Henry Miller], and Max Ernst (artist Max Earnst was Peggy Guggenheim’s husband), a director of the Tate Gallery; Hugh Blackwell, the writer; as well as Roger Lewis (Lewis would later serve as biographer for William S. Burroughs’ drinking partner Anthony Burgess—Burgess had served as a member of U.S. Army Intelligence during WWII), Billy Bolitho, Virginia Lyon, Steve Groff (a NASA scientist involved in psychedelic space medicine experimentation), Mark Warman, Olivia de Haulleville, Shelley Cholst, Maggie Russell, Shirley Scott James, Bill Burroughs (William S. Burroughs), Bobby Davidson, Donovan, (The Beatles band-member) Paul McCartney, Jim Arender, John Eason, Nicholas Gormanstone, Christopher Gibbs (Gibbs would at a later date serve as set designer for Donald Cammell’s aforementioned film, Performance), Suna Portman, and Victoria Ormsby-Gore (Victoria was the daughter of William David Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech, sister of film maker Julian OrmsbyGore), all of whom made outstanding contributions to the current London (Underground) scene… These exotic friends were supplemented through their contacts; and affiliations developed with…such literary figures as Professor Neville Coghill, Norman Mailer (a friend of Paul Bowles), and Philip O’Connor.” Hollingshead would be arrested for drug possession in 1966 A.D. in London about the same time as Timothy Leary was being detained for drug-possession in America, and Robert Fraser’s drug arrest and The Rolling Stones’ drug arrests/legal problems at this time would also appear to be interrelated. While serving time in prison, Hollingshead would be visited by his colleague Richard Alpert, accompanied by Owsley Stanley who had as Hollingshead notes in his book smuggled in a good supply of LSD for Hollingshead during their visit. Hollingshead’s book is in itself quite the Illuminative read. Upon Hollingshead’s release from jail, as he himself explains in The Man Who Turned on the World, he relocated to America in 1968 A.D. there again to partner with Timothy Leary. Hollingshead lived for a time at Timothy Leary’s residence in Berkeley, CA which he called ‘The Embassy’ and which served as a center for the Underground movement: “After a couple of months in Berkeley, we moved to Southern California, to a ranch in Idyllwild near the San Bernardino Forest and the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a former Los Angeles motor-cycle gang who had taken acid and dropped out of crime and into dope-dealing. And Tim it was who had become their leader/guru/teacher.” There they lived a communally mystic lifestyle: “We also tried to communicate with flying-saucers of which many had been reported in the skies above the ranch” which no doubt appeared in response to their various magic rituals (CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary was an advocate of the ‘Interdimensional Hypothesis’ of UFOs and was involved in the channeling and ritual invocation of UFOs while high on LSD. A number of Harvard University psychiatrists and astronomers including John E. Mack, head of the Psychiatry Department at the Harvard University School of Medicine, and Walter Orr Roberts were likewise involved in UFO investigations). In the fall, Hollingshead would relocate to the island of Fiji for a brief stay punctuated by his adverse involvement in further drug investigations (the Peace Corps members with whom he associated were involved in large-scale marijuana growing operations) whereupon he promptly absconded to New York City. 1969 A.D. would find Michael Hollingshead ensconced in Kathmandu, India, befriended by the Nepalese Ambassador to London, in one of the ashrams of the East so popular 805

with the hippie Underground of the day which many were known to frequent in order to ‘Turn on, tune in, drop out’ and deal drugs. There in Kathmandu, following the usual script, Michael Hollingshead proceeded to publish his own magazine. It would seem Hollingshead was officially a part of The Botherhood of Eternal Love organization for as he later explains: “I had also had quite a few acid sessions during the time I had been there (in Kathmandu) there was a constant stream of visitors coming to ‘Shangri-la’ (his name for the place he held his ‘acid sessions’) to score some ‘sunshine’ (the Orange Sunshine brand of LSD manufactured and distributed by the Eternal Brotherhood of Love organization of which his partner Timothy Leary was leader). There was quite a bit of acid in the city, mostly brought in by Californians or some of the bigger dealers, who would exchange acid for hashish (which the Eternal Brotherhood of Love organization would then smuggle into the United States hidden in fiberglass surfboards using their surf shop in Laguna Beach as a front)…” Hollingshead also studied during this time under the Eastern mystic Bhagawan Dass, the same “Bhagawan Dass who first took Richard Alpert (a fellow colleague with whom both Hollingshead and Timothy Leary had partnered during their Harvard MKULTRA research days) to his guru in India, Neem Karolli Baba” at which time thereby Richard Alpert “was converted into orthodox Hinduism and given the name Baba Ram Dass” (thus completing Richard Alpert’s conversion from CIA psychiatrist to Tantric sex-magic guru). So we find all of these events to be quite intricately interconnected on both sides of the Atlantic. (** Concerning Michael Hollinghead’s associate Victor Lownes: “Victor Aubrey Lownes III (born 17 April 1928, Buffalo, NY, USA) an executive with Playboy Enterprises in various capacities, various vice-presidencies, always a close confidant of Hugh Hefner, headed Playboy Europe and the UK Playboy Clubs from the mid-sixties until his dismissal in the early eighties. During this time he was Britain’s highest paid executive...and was Playboy Enterprises second biggest shareholder... Under Lownes’ management the first Playboy Club opened in downtown Chicago on 116 E Walton Street. It was essentially a bar with entertainment featuring Playboy Bunnies serving drinks and performances by some big names in entertainment (including of course The Rolling Stones). The doors opened for the first time on the leap year night of February 29, 1960 and it was an immediate success (it was in fact the busiest nightclub in the world in 1961 A.D.). More clubs followed in cities over the USA (41 worldwide in total—the Playboy Club in Los Angeles would open its doors on December 31, 1964 A.D., San Francisco on November 13, 1965 A.D.). In 1963 Victor Lownes became restless and asked Hefner to be sent to London to open a British Playboy club... Gambling had recently been legalised in the UK (under British P.M. Harold Macmillan) and Lownes realized there was an opportunity to add the attraction of a casino to the nightclub... In 1965 Hugh Hefner sent Victor Lownes to London to open Playboy’s British casinos, following legalization of gambling in the United Kingdom... The (Playboy©) magazine’s income was modest compared to that from these casinos... A Playboy Club was opened in the heart of the capital, at 45 Park Lane overlooking Hyde Park (in London), on July 1, 1966 and was an immediate success (“In 1981 the casino at 45 Park Lane was the most profitable casino in the world.”). ‘UK One,’ as Lownes became known, slid easily into the feverish atmosphere of ‘Swinging London.’ Regular parties were thrown at his house and the 1960s A-List went, the same cast list that played the (gambling) tables at the club including the Beatles, George Best (who also resided on Cheyne 806

Walk), Warren Beatty, Michael Caine, Judy Garland, Sean Connery, Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate (both Sharon Tate and Judy Garland would both meet untimely deaths in 1969 A.D.)... Lownes was out partying with Roman Polanski when his wife Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson Family in August 9, 1969 (Victor Lownes and Hugh Hefner also provided financing for Roman Polanski films in the aftermath of Sharon Tate’s murder. The plot thickens...).” - Wikipedia: Victor Lownes. Nude portraits of Roman Polanski’s wife Sharon Tate [an OTO witch] appear in Playboy© Magazine in the March 1967 issue; these photos were taken on location of Polanki’s film The Fearless Vampire Killers [1967 A.D.] filmed here in London at which time Sharon Tate had been intiated as an OTO witch by Alex Sanders who himself had known Aleister Crowley as a child. Occultist Robert Anton Wilson** had served as an associate editor for Playboy© Magazine from 1965 - 1971 A.D. (Robert Anton Wilson counted William S. Burroughs and Alan Watts amongst his close circle of friends and was an associate of Michael Hollingshead’s MKULTRA partner-in-crime, Timothy Leary, of Paul Krassner (Krassner was one of MKULTRA test-subject Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters) and of Kenneth Anger’s old neighbor Jack Parsons’ friend, the OTO leader Grady McMurtry [both Parsons and McMurtry had been disciples of Aleister Crowley]). Hotel Chelsea resident Bob Dylan, a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith, was himself married to a Playboy Bunny named Sarah Lowndes [Grady McMurtry, Harry Smith and Jack Parsons had been at one point all members of the same OTO lodge]. Victor Lownes was a friend/schoolmate/business partner of Elizabeth Taylor’s first husband Conrad ‘Nicky’ Hilton, Jr. [who was also at one point married to Zsa Zsa Gabor], son of the wealthy hotellier. Elizabeth Taylor’s son, Christopher Wilding was married to Aileen Getty, sister of John Paul Getty III, the grandson of OTOmember Kenneth Anger’s patron, J. Paul Getty [Elizabeth Taylor’s second husband, Richard Burton, was a member along with Kenneth Anger of Sampson De Brier’s magic group, as was Jack Parsons. Kenneth Anger’s friend from Paris, Jean Cocteau was a friend of the artist Balthus whose son, Prince Stanislas Klossowski de Rola (aka ‘the playboy alchemist,’ author of a number of books on magic and alchemy including Alchemy: The Secret Art) had as Francis King notes in The Rebirth of Witchcraft p.142 during the London swinging sixties been the center of many of Victor Lownes’ weekend parties and was a friend of Beatles (he had resided with Paul McCartney beginning in 1967 A.D.) and Rolling Stones band members as well]. Getty’s son, John Paul Getty, Jr., was Mick Jagger’s neighbor. OTO-member Kenneth Anger, a friend of Anton LaVey [Anger was a member of LaVey’s Church of Satan], was a member of the Rolling Stones inner circle of friends. Anton LaVey’s one-time girlfriend Marilyn Monroe [he also dated Zsa Zsa Gabor who appears in the March 1957 A.D. edition of Playboy© Magazine] appears nude in the very first issue of Playboy© Magazine in 1953 A.D., and Church of Satan HighPriestess Jayne Mansfield appears nude in Playboy© Magazine in 1963 A.D. Playboy Enterprises© certainly earns a spot atop our Illuminati list. Victor Lownes and Hugh Heffner were additionally connected to the Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization through their associations with former merchant marineman Bernie Cornfeld, a business associate of Seymour Lazare and Billy Mellon-Hitchcock [for more information, see Chapter 5 From Freak Street to Dharmapath: My TwentyEight Transformations by Merry Pranksters-member Michael R. Meyer (copies available upon request). Illuminaries within our story who had been interviewed by 807

Playboy© Magazine [yes! There were articles included within its pages as well] during the 1960s include Frank Sinatra, Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis, Jr., Bertrand Russell, Billy Wilder, Richard Burton, Jimmy Hoffa, Jawaharial Nehru, Ayn Rand, Dick Gregory, Henry Miller, Ian Fleming, The Beatles, Princess Grace, Bob Dylan, Timothy Leary, Orson Welles, Arnold J. Toynbee, F. Lee Bailey, Norman Mailer, Truman Capote, husband and wife team Master’s and Johnson, Paul Newman, Eldridge Cleaver, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Stanley Kubrick (Terry Southern worked as a screenwriter for Kubrick on his film Dr. Strangelove [1964 A.D.]), Marshall McLuhan, Allen Ginsberg, Bill Cosby and Gore Vidal. If one notices, most of these are names of Intelligence connected individuals and agents [or those involved in MKULTRA experimentation] or were in fact victims of [CIA?] assassination or both [one former Playboy Bunny from the early 1960s theosophist women’s libber Gloria Steinem confessed to having CIA ties stemming from the late 1950s and continuing into the early 1960s, with some even charging that Steinem had never even relinquished those ties]. Additionally, Jane Fonda [who with Gloria Steinem and former Yippie/W.I.T.C.H. (the late 1960’s era Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell feminist activist guerilla theater witchcraft organization [one notable W.I.T.C.H. member, Naomi Jaffe (an under-graduate student of former OWI/OSS agent Herbert Marcuse), founder of an SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) chapter at The New School for Social Research (The New School for Social Research itself has extensive OSS and CIA connections), was a known member of the Weather Underground (it was the Weather Underground which had aided in CIA-psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s escape from jail) founder Robin Morgan would co-found the Women’s Media Center women’s advocacy group in 2005 A.D.] makes an appearance in an August 1966 A.D. Playboy© pictorial and the Bond girls of Ian Fleming/James Bond-fame also received their very own free provocative publicity providing pictorial spread. Short stories authored by Arthur C. Clarke and British spy Ian Fleming have also graced its sticky glossy pages. In the ’70s, interviewees would include Joan Baez, Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, William F. Buckley, Jr., Buckminster Fuller, Robert Graves (occultist friend of British Intelligence agent T.E. Laurence), John Wayne, Roman Polanski, Tennessee Williams, Marlon Brando, Huey P. Newton, Bob Hope, Anthony Burgess, Abbie Hoffman and Hunter S. Thompson (Hunter S. Thompson was a co-founder of Rolling Stone© magazine). Perhaps one would not be remiss if one had considered Playboy© itself to be yet another Intelligence front organization. The Playboy Mansion West, home to Playboy© founder Hugh Hefner, was located in L.A. near UCLA and the Bel-Air Country Club. Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate (herself the daughter of an Army Intelligence officer) resided close nearby. At the time of the Tate murders, Hugh Hefner was serving as the host of Playboy After Dark, a television show syndicated by Screen Gems© which ran from early 1969 – 1970 A.D. whose guest stars included CIA agent George Plimpton, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis, Jr., Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate [Plimpton, Lawford, Polanski and Tate all had close Kennedy-family associations], Gore Vidal [Gore Vidal was Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy’s step-brother], Joan Baez, Gram Parsons and The Grateful Dead). (** The former Playboy© Magazine editor and self-described Shaman-WizardPhilosopher Robert Anton Wilson in his book Cosmic Trigger pp.159-162 describes a ‘Crowleymas’ party [held October 12, 1974 A.D.] he had hosted at his residence in Berkeley, CA which he describes as “the kind of noisy party you find only in 808

Berkeley and only among hippies and witches” whose Illuminus attendees included Theosophical Society-associated ufologist Jacques Vallee [a friend of Anton LaVey] and OTO-leader Grady McMurtry [both of whom had ties to OTO-leader Jack Parsons]. Perhaps Robert Anton Wilson’s place played host to an OTO lodge as well) (** The Beat poet Harold Norse, a Spiritualist medium [See Memoirs of a Bastard Angel p.195] very well in tune with his own fallen magical Muse, had been a member of W.H. Auden’s U.S. circle of friends beginning in 1939 A.D. [U.S. counterintelligence czar James Angleton’s friend W.H. Auden had served as a ‘mentor’ to OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood] Later in 1959 A.D.,

Harold Norse as he explains in his autobiography would reside in Paris with an occult adept/theosophist/member of the Baha’i Faith named Julia Chanler [her husband, N.Y. Lieutenant Governor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, was the running mate of William Randolph Hearst (it was Hearst’s own mother who played an integral role in the spread of the Baha’i Faith in America) during the 1906 A.D. N.Y. gubernatorial race], a great-granddaughter of John Jacob Astor [Julia Chanler’s paternal grandfather, a U.S. congressman from N.Y. named John Winthrop Chanler, a descendent of Massachusetts Bay Colony-founder John Withrop, had married into the affluent Astor family of N.Y.] who was additionally related in some way or another to William and Henry James [Ibid p.331]. From there he would relocate to the famous Beat Hotel in Paris, home to various famous Beatnick poets (Julia Chanler was the daughter of American artist Robert Winthrop Chanler [a good friend and neighbor of actor John Barrymore (Ibid p.331) whose friend John Carradine was a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge] whose family associations included the wealthy Astor and Delano families of which U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a member. In 1936 A.D., Julia Chanler would marry French artist Gabriel Laurin, later a leader of the French Resistance during WWII who would work directly with the OSS. Often such marriages would serve as Intelligence operation covers). As we learn from Wikipedia: “He [Harold Norse] penned the experimental cut-up novel Beat Hotel in 1960 while living in Paris with William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso from 1959 to 1963. He traveled to Tangier, where he stayed with Jane and Paul Bowles [who also it would appear was a member of the OTO]. Returning to America in 1968 [Bowles also came to California in 1968 A.D. it should be at this time noted], Norse arrived in Venice, California, near Charles Bukowski… Memoirs of a Bastard Angel traces Norse’s life and literary career with [Christopher Isherwood’s mentor] W.H. Auden, [Aleister Crowley’s friend] Christopher Isherwood, E.E. Cummings,*** Tennessee Williams, William Carlos Williams, James Baldwin,**** Dylan Thomas [a good friend of Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner Victor Neuburg], William [S.] Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlingetti, Paul Bowles, Charles Bukowski, Robert Graves (Robert Graves’ own magical ‘mentor’ was none other than the Sufi shaman Idries Shah, one-time secretary of Wicca-founder Gerald B. Gardner) and Anais Nin.” Erika Mann’s homosexual ‘husband’ W.H. Auden and Harold Norse link to Gertrude Stein’s Parisian group [of which Julia Chanler, an ‘intimate friend’ of Max Ernst, was a part (See Memoirs of a Bastard Angel p.331)] notably enough through their mutual friend, New York City Ballet co-founder Lincoln Kirstein [Lincoln Kirstein’s associates included various members of the Bloomsbury Group including E.M. Forster, John Meynard Keynes and Edith Sitwell. Lincoln Kirstein’s own friends included Dylan Thomas, a good friend of British spy Aleister Crowley’s 809

homosexual magickal partner Victor Neuburg. It is extremely pertinent to note that in 1924 A.D. Lincoln Kirstein had studied magic under Sufi ceremonial magician G.I.

Lincoln Kirstein was the wealthy Jewish brother-in-law of Harvard-grad Varian Fry who had helped various Mann family members escape from pre-WWII France) (***E.E. Cummings was a member of the so-called Harvard Aesthetes group [circa 1912 – 1919 A.D.] of Harvard University poets along with Malcom Cowley [Malcolm Cowley would go on to serve in the OSS during WWII with Thomas Mann’s son Golo Mann], Robert Hillyer, John Doss Passos [Hillyer and Passos were members of the Harvard University-created American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps (for which Harvard University professor Henry James served as chairman) which served during WWI in France and with which Malcolm Cowley was also associated] and Boston Brahmin John Brooks Wheelwright, a descendent of Massachusetts governor John Brooks who had served as a Continental Army officer [including serving as leading drillmaster under the Illuminus Freemason Baron Von Steubin (Von Steubin himself had served as aide-de-camp for Bavarian King Frederick the Great) in Valley Forge] during the American Revolutionary War [John Brooks was also an associate of Harvard College attendee Benjamin Thompson who would later serve as Bavarian Army Minister in Bavaria]. This group to be sure had major Bavarian Illuminati/Carbonari/Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Fabian Society/London School of Economics/OTO/Church of Satan/Harvard University/OSS/CIA connections all of which institutions, orders and organizations are quite intricately interconnected as the Carbonari is an outgrowth of the Illuminati, the Carbonari giving birth to the Theosophical Society (both organizations whose Harvard University connections are quite extensive), the magic practicing innercircle of which is the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn of which the OTO is an offshoot known members of whom were included amongst Church of Satan membership ranks [the OTO had major British and U.S. Intelligence associations both of which teamed together during WWII (the main U.S. organ of which was the OSS from which would emerge the CIA)]. Harvard University, which along with Yale University largely provides the CIA with its agents and which additionally provides many corporations and banks its leadership, has quite extensive Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Fabian Society associations (the Fabian Society, founder of the London School for Economics, was made up of Theosophical Society members and members of its magic practicing inner-ircle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). These organizations, in essence, run this country (and England as well). Current U.S. President Barack Obama, the son of American anthropologist Ann Dunham [Ann Dunham was an Asia Foundation grantee, one of whose main sources of funding was the CIA], is himself a Harvard University grad. President Barack Obama’s maternal grandfather Stanley Armour Dunham is a direct descendent of Plymouth Colony** colonist Jonathan Singletary Dunham [**Plymouth Colony colonists included the kith and kin of Sir William Cecil, a chief minister in the court of Queen Elizabeth I whose chief court advisor was ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee]. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Stanley Armour Dunham’s distant cousins include six US presidents: James Madison, Harry Truman (Harry S.

Julia Arthur was an early silent film star as well, all of whose films were produced by Vitagraph Studios [one of eight film production companies which along with Essanay Studios made up Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison’s Motion Picture Patents Company, aka the ‘Edison Trust’] which would in 1925 A.D. be bought out by Warner Bros.©) (****James Baldwin who was a close friend of Maya Angelou is quite the interesting character [both of whom were friends of assassinated civil rights leaders Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.]** and had ties to many of the Intelligenceassociated individuals within our story. James Baldwin had even known Margaret Mead, the wife of OSS agent Gregory Bateson. One must always keep in mind that such Intelligence associations are in fact top secret and the activities in which such people are otherwise engaged (and often times their own ‘friendships’ as well) serve as cover for the Intelligence operations with which they are involved.** James Baldwin’s poet friend Harold Norse was also an associate of former Vanity Fair© magazine editor/CIA spy Clare Boothe Luce [See Memoirs of a Bastard Angel] who was married to Time© [one of whose company directors, Henry Pomeroy Davison, Jr., was a Yale Skull and Bones-member whose Yale Skull and Bones-member brother served as director of personnel for the CIA], Fortune© [a magazine which promoted the Keynesian economic principles of John Meynard Keynes; the spy Archibald MacLeish was an employee there] and Life© magazine publisher Henry Luce, a Yale Skull and Bones-member (and a former assistant to Hollywood Hellfire Club-member Ben Hecht as well it is of the utmost import to note) and friend of former Naval Intelligence officer/fellow Yale Skull and Bones-member Prescott Bush, Luce known to have been one of more than 400 journalists who had worked with and for the CIA during the Cold War*** (Charles Douglas Jackson who served as publisher/director for all three of these magazines had served in the OSS during WWII and apparently worked for the CIA thereafter).

Loyd Jowers was the owner of the café located in the rooming house from which it was determined the sniper had fired the fatal bullet that killed Dr. Martin Luther king, Jr. According to Loyd Jowers [See ABC’s Prime Time Live, December 1993], the conspiracy to kill Dr. King involved the Mafia and the U.S. government) (***“…according to documents on file at CIA headquarters…Among the executives who lent their cooperation to the Agency were William Paley [“During World War II, Paley served in the psychological warfare branch in the Office of War Information (OWI), under General Dwight Eisenhower, and held the rank of colonel.” – Wikipedia: William S.

Other organizations which cooperated with the CIA include the American Broadcasting Company [ABC], the National Broadcasting Company [NBC], the Associated Press [AP was where was employed until WWII Byron Price, original Director of the U.S. Office of Censorship during WWII. At wars end Price would serve as vice-president of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and as an Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations], United Press International [UPI], Reuters [founded in 1851 A.D. as a financial news agency in the City of London by the Cassel-born son of an Ashkenazi Jewish rabbi Baron Paul Julius Freiherr von Reuter. Cassel in Germany was the birthplace of Rosicrucianism and home to the Bavarian Illuminati], Hearst Newspapers [owned by newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst], Scripps-Howard, Newsweek magazine, the Mutual Broadcasting System [MBS was with CBS, NBC and ABC one of the ‘big four’ radio networks], The Miami Herald [owned by John Shively Knight who during the latter part of WWII served as Director of the U.S. Office of Censorship], and the old Saturday Evening Post [a periodical which traces its history to Benjamin Franklin’s Pennsylvania Gazette] and New York Herald-Tribune [which had incorporated the Carbonari’s Young America Youth Movement’s New York Tribune (amongst whose employees was H.S.

Blavatsky had founded the Thesophical Society there in New York City in 1875 A.D.) newspaper with its rival, the New York Herald, and which had employed as journalists Walter Lippman and Tom Wolfe, author of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test]. By far the most valuable of these associations, according to CIA officials, have been with The New York Times, CBS, and Time Inc… The Agency's [the CIA’s] dealings with the press began during the earliest stages of the Cold War [although “the press” worked with the OSS prior to its becoming the CIA]. Allen Dulles, who became director of the CIA in 1953, sought to establish a recruiting-and-cover capability within America's most prestigious journalistic institutions. 812

By operating under the guise of accredited news correspondents, Dulles believed, CIA operatives abroad would be accorded a degree of access and freedom of movement unobtainable under almost any other type of cover… rarely was a news agency used to provide cover for CIA operatives abroad without the knowledge and consent of either its principal owner; publisher or senior editor… Many journalists who covered World War II were close to people in the Office of Strategic Services, the wartime predecessor of the CIA… When the war ended and many OSS officials went into the CIA, it was only natural that these relationships would continue… the Agency has secretly bankrolled numerous foreign press services, periodicals and newspapers [and radio services as well]—both English and foreign language—which provided excellent cover for CIA operatives… The Columbia Broadcasting System—CBS was unquestionably the CIA's most valuable broadcasting asset. CBS president William Paley and [CIA head] Allen Dulles enjoyed an easy working and social relationship… Allen Dulles often interceded with his good friend, the late Henry Luce, founder of Time and Life magazines, who readily allowed certain members of his staff to work for the Agency and agreed to provide jobs and credentials for other CIA operatives who lacked journalistic experience.” - Rolling Stone© Magazine: The CIA and the Media, October 20, 1977) One little known influence on the Hippie Movement (in both the U.S. and the U.K.) is the UFO phenomenon: “Social historians invariably associate the hippie movement with Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism, sources of both inspiration and imagery, and the hippies’ interest in these belief systems has been well documented. But there was another alternative to the blinkered Western worldview of the 1960s already deeply embedded in the British cultural psyche, and already present in the lives of those who would form the movement known as the Underground – the flying saucer culture… Barry Miles (Barry Miles was a major player in the 1960s Underground, an English author who has written Paul McCartney’s official biography as well as the biographies of John Lennon, Frank Zappa, William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac and Allan Ginsberg, all prominent figures in our labyrinthine little tale) was also aware of the attraction Glastonbury (steeped as it is in King Arthur lore) held for those in the counterculture: ‘The King’s Road (through Chelsea, in London, home of the vaunted ‘Chelsea Set’) led straight to Glastonbury in those days… The people we knew led double lives, experimenting with acid (LSD), spending entire evenings discussing flying saucers, ley lines and the court of King Arthur. Other people waited patiently at Arthur’s Tor (in Glastonbury) for flying saucers to land.’ And as word got around that Glastonbury (a reputed planetary energy center—ley lines are said to extend from Glastonbury to many sacred centers worldwide) was the new ‘window area’ for UFO sightings, more and more hippies made it a place of pilgrimage (this was no new fad as some would have you believe, but a curious new chapter in a long ongoing saga. Glastonbury itself was the site of Dion Fortune’s Chalice Orchard Club pilgrimage center dedicated to the worship of and I quote the “Dark Angel” [the term ‘Dark Angel’ is a euphemism for Satan] and the “Old Gods” [which is to say, Azazel and his angels] [Dion Fortune also founded a temple dedicated to the celebration of the Mysteries of Isis located at 3 Queensborough Terrace in West London known as the ‘Belfry’]. Dion Fortune would herself author a book entitled Glastonbury: Avalon of the Heart on the subject of Glastonbury’s mystical roots (as well as The Arthurian Formula, a product of automatic-writing derived from information she as a Spiritualist medium had purportedly received during Spiritualist séances which she had conducted from 1941-1942 A.D.), Glastonbury being the locale which she refers 813

to in her writings as “our English Jerusalem.” Glastonbury is a sacred place for adherents of British Israelism [for more information on the history of Glastonbury, see Glastonbury: Our English Jerusalem by Rev. Charles Latimer Marsen who along with his friend Cecil Sharpe would form the backbone of the English folk lore revival], as it is said Chalice Well at the foot of Glastonbury Tor [‘tor’ means ‘hill’] marks the site where Joseph of Arimathea deposited the chalice with which he had caught the drops of blood shed by the body of Jesus Christ as his side was pierced by the spear as he hung upon the crucifixion cross [the story of which can be found in John 19:34], though the well itself is a draw for modern Neopagan pilgrims of every stripe as well, a tradition which in fact predates even Christianity itself). According to (author and Rolling Stones’ inner-circle member John) Michell (John Michell it is interesting to note had served as an interpreter at the British Intelligence-associated Joint Services School for Linguists during a stint in the Royal Navy), ‘UFOs were constantly being sighted over St. Michael’s Tower on Glastonbury Tor’ (the reputed site of King Arthur’s Avalon of the Grail legends which sits upon St. Michael’s Ley [Avalon is said to be overlorded by the so-called ‘Watchers of Avalon,’ a group of otherworldly beings understood to be the Irin, the angelic Watchers/fallen angels as revealed in the writings of British archaeologist Frederick Bligh Bond (Freemason/Theosophical Society/SPR/SRIA/Ghost Club-member Frederick Bligh Bond had excavated the Glastonbury ruins and would later emigrate to America serving as education secretary at the American Society for Psychical Research, a testament to the interconnections of all of these organizations) and Wellesley Tudor Pole, a Spiritualist member of the Baha’i Faith who had been active in the search for the Holy Grail who himself had served as an Intelligence agent with the British Directorate of Military Intelligence during WWI. Wellesley Tudor Pole was a close friend of prominent British New Age-er Sir George Trevelyan, 4th Baronet]; England is also home to the archaic high-placed Uffington White Horse [which itself straddles the Uffington Ley] whose full Leucippotomic magnificence may only be appreciated from a UFO’s own vantage-point. For a romanticized version of the legend concerning the history of this icon, see G.K. Chesterton’s poem The Ballad of the White Horse [1911 A.D.]) … Craig Sams, who set up England’s first macrobiotic (health food) restaurant, was also a Glastonbury enthusiast: ‘I didn’t see a flying saucer till October 1967 when I went to Glastonbury** (1967 A.D. was a major UFO ‘flap’ year in both England and America). One day I got a phone call from Mark Palmer (who had once served as page boy to the Queen of England) saying that it would be a good idea to come down, that there was a lot of UFO activity, that John Michell, who had just written The Flying Saucer Vision, was camping down there, and Michael Rainey (owner of the upscale Hung On You Chelsea boutique). So here we are in the field and up come the UFOs. We weren’t tripping, I’d given up acid (LSD). I was completely normal, maybe I’d had a cup of tea about half an hour before…(Sir) Mark Palmer (of the Palmer Baronets) saw them – they were definitely there (Keith Richards in his book Life refers to Mark Palmer as “the original Gypsy baron” as he was known to travel with a Gypsy caravan which he would park on the estates of his friends). They were in the classic cigar-shaped mother-ship form. Little lights emanating from them. Then at one point you saw these other lights coming up towards them and the smaller lights just shot into the cigar-shaped mother-ship, which then just disappeared at high speed. The other lights had been RAF (Royal Air Force) jets. It was obvious that the RAF had scrambled some jets.’ It would be easy 814

to dismiss the Underground’s fascination with saucers if it weren’t for the fact that 1967 was a huge ‘flap’ year for UFO sightings in the UK (as well as in the U.S.). This wasn’t just a ‘hippie thing’ – it was even happening to policemen, who chased them for hours in their patrol cars. The MOD (Ministry of Defense) was so inundated by UFO reports it radically changed its UFO policy and set up a team of investigators (known as BUFORA, the British UFO Research Association) to interview civilian UFO witnesses, the first time this had been done… As flying saucers became further embedded in popular culture, rock musicians were becoming interested in them as a means of expressing the psychedelic experience… Even the Rolling Stones…took an interest in saucers. John Michell (author of The Flyng Saucer Vision) accompanied them (the Rolling Stones band members) on a saucerspotting mission* to Stonehenge** (*it was common during the 1960s for people interested in UFOs to attend UFO ‘sky watching’ parties particularly in known UFO ‘flap’ areas. Such UFO sky watch parties were also commonly held on the International UFO Observer Corps’ ‘International Flying Saucer Sighting Day,’ on ‘World UFO Day’ [variously June 24 (commemorating the day of Kenneth Arnold’s sighting) and July 2] and ‘World Contact Day’ first instituted in 1953 A.D. by the International Flying Saucer Bureau, a day when all IFSB members join together in an attempt to send telepathic messages to aliens in space (Eventually, it would appear, this would pave the path to the 1987 A.D. Harmonic Convergence festival, the world’s first globally synchronized New Age meditation held on Mount Shasta on Labor Day weekend in 1987 A.D. and a number of years thereafter [attended by a number of aging hippies] as organized by Neropa University-grad José Argüelles amongst whose mentors was Buddhist monk Chögyam Trungpa and New Age astrologer, Dane Rudhyar. And make no mistake about it, the hippie lifestyle is alive and well today, even if perhaps each year it grows older, with Eastern witchcraft practices passed to the marveled minds of flower powered grandchildren. The magical hippie Buddhist mindset is summed up in the following phrase: “If enough people ‘think’ it, the belief becomes real”). Additionally, the first annual International Flying Saucer Bureau Contact Week-End would kick off over the Whitsun holiday during the month of May in England beginning in 1959 A.D. [See FSR:1959/5N2-5N4]. Many such modern day “operations” take the shape of quite recognizable archaic magical workings. There also existed a formal International UFO Observer Corps founded by the publishers of Flying Saucer Review magazine in 1956 A.D. [the Chief Investigator of UFO sightings being Brinsley Le Poer Trench] including a “nucleus of astronomers, scientists and well trained observers…watching the skies and sending in reports…from all over the world” [See FSR:1956/2N5], originally headquartered along with FSR magazine at 1 Doughty Street in London. This essentially represented an international affiliation of various ‘civilian’ UFO groups. In 1962 A.D. Brinsley Le Poer Trench had authored a book entitled Temple of the Stars [based upon Arts and Crafts Movement/Slade School of Fine Arts artist Katharine Emma Maltwood’s mystic vision as set forth in her 1934 A.D. book A Guide to Glastonbury’s Temple of the Stars] which holds the landscape centered aroud Glastonbury to be a colossal outdoor temple in the form of a great steller Zodiacal map of the Universe) (**There are, as must be noted at this time, with John Michell amongst them, those who believe that Stonehenge was entirely built by extraterrestrial alien beings), while singer Marianne Faithfull recalls the (Rolling) Stones’ ill-starred rhythm guitarist Brian Jones taking a great interest in 815

Michell’s ideas on the subject (Brian Jones and Anita Pallenberg were in fact friends of John Michell who was himself a member of the Rolling Stones’ entourage. Also, as Keith Richards writes in Life p.199: “Mick [Jagger] and Marianne [Faithfull] would make pilgrimages with John Michell, a writer and the Merlin of the group [Merlin was the legendary wizard in King Arthur tales and Michell was like the others a true practitioner of magic]…to observe flying saucers and ley lines** and all that.”): ‘Like a lot of people at the time, myself included, he was convinced there was a mystic (magic) link between druidic monuments (such as the Stonehenge magic-circle) and flying saucers’ (for more information concerning the ‘mystic link’ between UFOs and practitioners of magic see The Demonic Theory of UFOs by John of the Gentiles)… Similarly, the (Rolling) Stones’ Keith Richards was more than curious about saucers: ‘I’ve seen a few, but nothing any of the ministries would believe,’ he told a Melody Maker journalist. ‘I believe they exist – plenty of people have seen them. They are tied up with a lot of things, like the dawn of man, for example...’ (Pertinent Quote: “A popular concept is that UFOs are chariots of the gods. It is felt by advocates of this position that highly advanced beings from outside our solar system visited this planet in the past and are responsible for the creation of humans here.” – p.89 Sons of God Return by Kelly L. Segraves, 1975 A.D. Also see Genesis 1:26-28). But were it not for the hippies’ interest in flying saucers, nurtured by John Michell, it’s doubtful that the continuing interest in such subjects would be part of our cultural landscape in the 21st century.” – Fortean Times© Oct. 2007: A Saucer Full of Secrets by British ufologist Andy Roberts (**“Witches [including Rolling Stones’ band members and members of their entourage] naturally have a great interest in the study of leys and ley energy, because of the fact that their traditional meeting-places are often, indeed usually, found to be at such centres… The books of Alfred Watkins [including The Old Straight Track (1925 A.D.)] and John Michell [including his book The View Over Atlantis], [both individuals being pioneering authors on the subject of Ley lines] together with such works as Paul Screeton’s Quicksilver Heritage: The Mystic Leys – Their Legacy of Ancient Wisdom, are practically required reading for the modern witch.” – p.214 The Rebirth of Witchcraft by British witch Doreen Valiente. In pagan religions which revere Azazel, Satan and the extraterrestrial fallen angels as gods: “Hills and high places are regarded as holy [Glastonbury Tor itself sits upon such a high-place]… Most of the hill-figures [in England] are said to be made over Ley Lines, or where certain earth energies merge. These include the White Horse of Uffingham, Berkshire; Cerne the Giant, at Cerne Abbas in Dorset, and the Long Man of Wilmington, in Sussex… It is quite possible that the witches of olden times knew about this earth energy and its results, because many ancient sites are associated with them: places such as the famous Pendle Hill [it was on Pendle Hill where Quaker-founder George Fox had received his iconic life-changing vision directly leading to his emigration to the American colony of Pennsylvania], the stamping ground of the Lancashire witches [prosecuted during the witch trials of 1612 A.D.], and Chanctonbury Ring [which was, according to local legend, created by the Devil himself and there it is said he may subsequently be summoned (See Where Witchcraft Lives by Doreen Valiente)] in Sussex, a well-known meeting place for witches past and present [the hill itself is the site of a former Roman temple, built upon a sacred site of even greater antiquity]. Bredon Hill near Tewkesbury is another [Tewkesbury was incorporated during the reign of the very witchy Dame of the Order of the Garter, Queen Elizabeth I]. These hills were sacred and were most probably the esoteric centres of the Old Religion [of witchcraft].” – pp.66,70 Lid Off the Cauldron by Patricia Crowther, 1985 A.D.). An annual pagan-themed music and arts centric Glastonbury Festival officially celebrating the onset of the summer solstice (one of the Great Sabbats of the witchcraft religion), has been held on and off (mostly on) in Glastonbury since 1970 A.D., these being a rehash of an earlier cycle of Glastonbury Festivals (as modeled upon 816

composer Richard Wagner’s Bayreuth Ring Cycle) hosted from 1914-1926 A.D. by British composer Rutland Boughton (whose operatic Arthurian Cycle of musical dramas include: The Birth of Arthur [1913 A.D.], The Round Table [1916 A.D.], The Lily Maid [1934 A.D.] and Avalon and Galahad [1945 A.D.]), a life-long friend of George Bernard Shaw who had collaborated professionally with various artistic members of the Rothschild banking family [concerning the history of the Rothschild banking family: “The name ‘Rothschild’ first appeared in the 18th century when Mayer Amschel Bauer established his banking empire in Frankfurt, Germany, and changed the family name (It was the Rothschild’s [through British P.M. Benjamin Disraeli] who financed the purchase of their share of the Suez Canal [constructed under the aegis of Napolean III] in Egypt for Britain in 1875 A.D. Frankfurt in Germany was, as noted by Norah Webster in her book World Revolution, to where in 1782 A.D. was relocated the Illuminati’s `Illuminized' Freemasonic headquarters. It is also, it is interesting to note, home to the European Union’s European Central Bank [ECB]). The Bauers were a notorious satanic family in Middle Ages Germany and the major Rothschilds remain master black magicians to this day… The Rothschild dynasty is controlled by the family’s satanic black magicians… The Rothschilds control the global financial system…” - Julian Websdale: Illusory Money and the Economic System Construct, 2014 A.D.]. Individuals associated with the so-called Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood/Arts and Crafts/Slade School of Fine Arts groups (central amongst whom was William Morris [original founder of the William Morris Agency] with his Arthurian-themed poems included amongst which was King Arthur’s Tomb, additionaly coupled with his Arthurian-themed artwork, stained-glass windows and tapestries) along with George Bernard Shaws’ poet friend Alfred, Lord Tennyson played a central role in popularizing the King Arthur/Holy Grail legends in England during the very magical Victorian Era. Cambridge Apostles-member Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s Idylls of the King cycle of twelve narrative poems published between 1859 and 1885 A.D. is also a retelling of the legends of King Arthur’s court and his Knights of the Round Table. King Arthur was a notable figure in Theosophical Society lore which society runs an international Order of the Round Table children’s organization founded in England in 1908 A.D. and as noted in Secret Inner Order Rituals of the Golden Dawn (1988 A.D.) there even existed in Britain ‘The Order of the Table Round,’ a secret order within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn based upon pre-Christian King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table legends which was directly tied to the Arts and Crafts Movement, a group headed by Neville Meakin who through various artistic and theatrical associations links to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley’s friend and mentor, Allan Bennett. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member A.E. Waite was another such individual at the forefront of Arthurian legend and lore, his quite exhaustive research into the matter resulting in the publication of his book, The Hidden Church of the Holy Graal in 1909 A.D. Dion Fortune’s own Arthurian legend literary efforts were directly preceded by T.H. White’s Arthurian novel, The Sword in the Stone (1938 A.D.) and was followed up by Manly P. Hall’s Orders of the Quest: The Holy Grail also authored on the subject of the Arthurian legends (as Manly P. Hall therein explains, Hall was of the opinion that Arthur and his knights were “agents” of the angelic “Brotherhood of Adepts” [read: agents of the Great White Brotherhood of fallen angels], “the ancient ones of the earth,” representatives of the “Inner Government of the World,” allies of the “Academy of Adepts” that has “existed from the most remote time” the existence of which is recorded in the “sacred writings, the philosophical literature and the mystical traditions of all races and nations of mankind…”) published in Los Angeles, CA would make its appearance in 1949 A.D. Emma Jung, wife of Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung, would keep the legend alive with the publication of her book The Grail Legend in 1960 A.D. (Notable Quote: “It is not only art and science which has concerned themselves with the Grail legend but also certain spiritual movements of our time, such as the secret orders [the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its offshoots, et al], anthroposophy [through the efforts of Theosophical Society-member Rudolph Steiner’s Anthroposophical Society] and other fellowships of a similar nature [including the Theosophical Society’s Order 817

of the Round Table] which take the Grail and the Grail quest as subjects of meditation or as initiation ceremonies. From its place of concealment the Grail [Azazel’s cherub Behemoth] still calls seekers to the quest and [British] knights still set out upon the way…” – Introduction to The Grail Legend by Emma Jung, 1960 A.D., and one may certainly add British knight of the realm Sir Mick Jagger to this courtly list of modernist Grail Questers), sparking a 1960s revival with the staging of Moss Hart’s and Alan Jay Lerner’s Broadway musical hit Camelot (a stage adaptation of T.H. White’s novel The Sword in the Stone) in 1960 A.D. (Alan Jay Lerner had been a Harvard University classmate of President John F. Kennedy [the two even serving on the very same yearbook staff] which does much to explain the whole Camelot tie-in with the Kennedy administration) followed by a U.S. tour in 1963 A.D. (coinciding with the release of Walt Disney’s 1963 A.D. animated classic, The Sword in the Stone [an Arthurian tale likewise based on the novel by T.H. White], followed by a 1964 A.D. staging of Camelot in the West End of London, the franchise eventually culminating in the production of the Warner Bros./Seven Arts 1967 A.D. film presentation Camelot starring actor Richard Burton which did, no doubt, do much to stoke an interest in this subject amongst the hippies of the ’60s (additionally, an earlier film version of the Grail legend based upon the story of Joseph of Arimathea entitled The Silver Chalice had been released by Warner Bros.© in 1954 A.D.). Camelot*** star Richard Burton himself was a friend to British spy/William Morris Agency contract actor Sir Laurence Olivier whose uncle was a Fabian Society member which society’s membership rolls were composed of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Stella Matutina members (no doubt including individuals associated with Stella Matutina-member Dion Fortune, a major proponent of the Arthurian mystique), with Richard Burton himself being a member of the same Samson De Brier magic group in Los Angeles of which Rolling Stones inner-circle member Kenneth Anger (a member of the OTO and the Church of Satan) was a part (***Leslie family member/Ealing Studios-Pinewood StudiosRank Organization actor David Edward Leslie Hemmings who appears in Samson De Brier magic group-member Jane Fonda’s 1968 A.D. film Barbarella and in the 1966 A.D. film Eye of the Devil [whose technical advisor, British witch Alex Sanders, had personally known Aleister Crowley] with OTO-witch Sharon Tate, British Intelligence agent/actor David Niven [whose friend/fellow British Intelligence agent Ian Fleming had been British spy/OTOmember Aleister Crowley’s case officer] appears in this film it is also important to note). As previously noted, such egregious goings on at Glastonbury in England simply represented a fairly new chapter in the long ongoing Freemasonic/Rosicrucian/Illuminati/Carbonari/Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Order of the Table Round/Stella Matutina/Society of the Inner Light/OTO/Wicca saga. (Upon Dion Fortune’s own death she would be replaced as leader of the Society of the Inner Light by Spiritualist medium Margaret Lumley Brown who in fact appears to be related to former British Labour Party Prime Minister Gordon Brown [For more information see Pythoness: the Life and Work of Margaret Lumley Brown, 2000 A.D.]) (No doubt the hippies’ interest in UFOs was additionally fueled by the following Los Angeles Times article: Skyborne Mystery Objects Are High on U.N. Agenda by Drew Pearson, Los Angeles Times, November 27, 1967 A.D.: “In the very middle of the Near East crisis U.N. Secretary General U Thant took time to do a very significant thing. He arranged to have one of the top advocates of the theory that flying saucers—UFOs—are from another planet, speak before the Outer Space Affairs Committee of the United Nations… Dr. James E. McDonald of the University of Arizona (an atmospheric physicist/WWII U.S. Intelligence officer), a firm believer in UFOs, spoke before the U.N. outerspace committee. Dr. McDonald believes that UFOs are extraterrestrial spaceships on reconnaissance missions to explore the earth. He also addressed the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the Washington Meteorology Society on this subject. Interesting fact is that Thant has confided to friends that he considers UFOs the most important problem facing the United Nations next to the war in Vietnam.” As ufologist John A. Keel explains: “The great UFO wave of the 1960’s had a visible effect on the youth sub-culture (read: the hippies). The use of hallucinatory drugs often produced 818

visions remarkably similar to the visions of the contactees. The recognizable propaganda of those ‘illusion-prone spirits’ appeared in the lyrics of popular songs [including, quite notably, the International Flying Saucer Bureau’s ‘World Contact Day’ anthem “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft,” a song once covered by the music group The Carpenters], in endless articles and poems in the ‘underground’ newspapers, and even in comic books. The Woodstock Nation went on a cosmic trip that dwarfed the adventures of [UFO contactees] Adamski and Menger. During the peak years UFO lecturers were in great demand on college campuses, often extracting large fees to spread the gospel of the space people. James Moseley [the son of U.S. Army Major General George Van Horn Moseley (a member along with General George S. Patton of the Poncho Villa Expedition) and brother of Hewlett-Packard Vice-President Francis L. Moseley. Another brother, George Van Horn Moseley, Jr., was a member of General "Hap" Arnold’s U.S. Army Air Force during WWII (recall it was General Hap Arnold who supplied the funds for Jack Parsons’ rocketry tests at Jet Propulsion Laboratories)], publisher of Saucer News (now defunct); Dr. J. Allen Hynek [a colleague of Jack Parson’s ufologist friend Jacques Vallee], scientific advisor to the U.S. Air Force under top secret Projects Sign, Grudge and Bluebook], the skeptic who turned believer in 1966; Stanton Friedman, engineer turned full-time UFO lecturer [Stanton Friedman, one of America’s leading UFO researchers, worked at the Jack Parsons-founded Aerojet aircraft company from 1959 – 1963 A.D.], and several others were all active on the college circuit by the end of the 60’s. Dr. James McDonald, a meteorologist and ET enthusiast, also lectured widely before groups of scientists and journalists until his death by suicide in 1971.”- THE JOURNAL OF POPULAR CULTURE Volume 8, Issue 4, Spring 1975: The Flying Saucer Subculture by John A. Keel. Again. Surprise, surprise. All of the usual suspects are present and well nigh accounted for. As the reader shall discover, many UFO contactees and ufologists from the 1950s and ’60s had ties to UFO contactee Jack Parsons in one way or another. At any rate, thanks to Jack Parsons’ JPL rockets, space travel was ingrained within people’s modern mindsets. Tales of UFO landings, a decade full of science fiction films and a plethora of dime store sci-fi novels and television shows such as Star Trek and Lost and Space along with the U.S. and Russian space race would serve to fire the American imagination. The sky was, literally, the limit! LSD itself would serve to remove that limit, allowing the mind to travel where body could not go) One can certainly perceive Eton grad John Michell’s influence on the belief system of The Rolling Stones as well as Michell’s own theosophical bent when he writes circa 1967 A.D. in the Introduction to his book The Flying Saucer Vision: “It is now more than twenty years ago since people first began to notice the strange objects in the sky. By night bright lights were appearing overhead, moving rapidly like comets or the great fiery dragons so often seen in the past; by day they were seen as flying discs or globes. Newspapers call them flying saucers. There was something about these objects and the stories connected with them that caused immediate excitement, and a rumour quickly spread that they were the spacecraft of intelligent beings from outside the earth. The claim by George Adamski, that he had seen one at close quarters in the California desert (in 1952 A.D.) and spoken with its occupants (though his first UFO sighting took place in San Diego County in 1946 A.D.), was followed by the publication of numerous books and articles by people with similar experiences (by the time the hippies appeared on the scene, California’s saucer culture had long since been established)…and their (the UFO occupants’) message to men on earth (manifesting in some instances as a ‘UFO religion’)… Since the first appearance of flying saucers an enormous amount of folklore has grown up around them. New ideas and old beliefs have been given a definite expression in the legend of the flying discs… At the same time it has become evident that flying saucers themselves are by no means new. A great many reports from the 19 th century and earlier appear to refer to flying objects of the same sort as are seen today. In fact it appears from the works of the Romans, Greek and Egyptian writers that the phenomenon was known in times of the greatest antiquity. Even the popular interpretation of flying 819

saucers, that they are the spacecraft of an extra-terrestrial race, is nothing new, for in the earliest legends of mythology the flying vehicles of the gods are described in the same way, as wheels or winged discs. It may therefore be possible, by finding out how the strange flying objects were interpreted in the past, to achieve some understanding of their significance today. In doing this we shall have to reconsider some of the commonly accepted assumptions about the meaning behind the themes of mythology… when men first achieved the expanded way of thought necessary for progress towards a civilization, we have some record in mythology (“the tradition of the gods from the sky and of the sacred mandala [‘mandala’ is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘disc/circle’], the winged disc bringing both gifts and destruction” to mankind), and from this source we learn that the momentous step forward was taken through the appearance on earth of a superior race, the gods. The lessons learned from that time have survived, sometimes embedded in the culture of the great civilizations of the past, sometimes guarded by a more or less secret dynasty of priests and scholars in, for instance, the Druid colleges [in Great Britain] and certain remote monasteries of the East. In this way we have reached the present critical moment in the history of our civilization, when no further significant progress seems possible within the existing system, when to many people our only hope of (evolutionary) development and even survival seems to lie in the achievement of a new, higher vision, whatever form this may take (in Michell’s case, this “higher vision” takes the form of The Flying Saucer Vision and the messages conveyed by the UFO occupants themselves). It may be the flying saucers today, as at the time of our last vision, when they were revealed as the vehicles of the gods, are a portent of a further evolutionary step to be brought about through the working of some influence from outside the earth.” – pp. 8-9,10 Introduction to The Flying Saucer Vision by John Michell, 1967 A.D. It was the Theosophical Society’s belief at the time that such a forward ‘evolutionary step’ was in fact eminently imminent, the impetus to be supplied by otherworldly extra-terrestrial intelligences. The Flying Saucer Vision reveals Michell to be quite the adept magus in a strictly modern sense. He correctly equates the ‘mythologies’ of the past to the modern UFO sightings of the day including links to the British Arthurian Grail legends. His is certainly the most readable and eye-opening book on the ‘ancient astronaut theory’ of UFOs that I have encountered to date (** Glastonbury is home to the Brotherhood of the Essenes, a Glastonbury-based magic/animal welfare organization which meets annually on June 21st at the Glastonbury Town Hall for a ‘Divine Mystic Midnight Service’ known as the Divine Ceremony of the Calling of the Angelic Names, a convocation held annually for some 90 years now and counting. It was through one such meeting of the Brotherhood of the Essenes held here at Glastonbury Tor in 1964 A.D. whereat Doreen Valiente would come to meet an English witch called Robert Cochrane [See p.117 The Rebirth of Witchcraft by Doreen Valiente—Valiente was former high-priestess of Gerald B. Gardner’s Bricket Wood coven of Wicca witches] into whose coven of witches she would be initiated. It was also beginning in 1964 A.D. that Wicca-founder Gerald B. Gardner’s friend Ross Nichols [who had also met Gerald B. Gardner at Bricket Wood where he would become a member of Gardner’s nudist colony located there and likely a witch in his Bricket Wood coven as well], who holds the title of the ‘Chosen Chief’ of The Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids,** practitioners of reinstituted ancient Druidic magic ceremonies celebrated there at Glastonbury Tor). (**As noted by Jean Markale in The Druids [1999 A.D.], there are four principle Druidic brotherhoods.The first is the line of John Toland, an Irish Catholic “freethinker” who founded his Druidic order [known as the Druid Order] on Sept. 22, 1717 A.D. [Toland served as poet John Milton’s editor]. The second is the Ancient Order of Druids, a Scottish Masonic movement founded by Henry Hurle in 1781 A.D. The English Druid William Blake was a member of both of these orders [An offshoot of this order, the United Ancient Order of Druids was established in New York City (George Washington Lodge #1) in 1839 A.D. A one-time Los Angeles City Council member (Council member from 1933 – 1939 A.D.) named Byron B. Brainard (a former employee of Southern Pacific Railroad in San Francisco) would serve as Noble Grand Arch of the United Ancient Order of Druids lodge in San Francisco]. The third is that of Edward Williams [aka Iolo Morganwg], 820

the Welsh Gorsedd [into which magic order Queen Elizabeth II was inducted in 1946 A.D.] founded in London in 1792 A.D. [it is to this lineage that the The Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids is descended]. The fourth is that of the Celtic Reformed Church, a quasi-Christian Druidic organization which traces its lineage to the priesthoods of former Druids converted to Christianity and ordained by the Roman Catholic Saint Patrick, the so-called “keeper of a double tradition” which practiced both Christianity and Druidism)

Andy Robert’s Fortean Times© article goes on to describe how as a result of this incident at Glastonbury in 1967 A.D. a former RAF pilot named Desmond Leslie, (the son of Irish envoy/author Sir Shane Leslie [author of numerous books including Shane Leslie’s Ghost Book (1955 A.D.), authored on the subject of paranormal phenomenon], a cousin of the Druidic British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Desmond Leslie’s mother was the American daughter of U.S. Ambassador Henry Clay Ide [Governor-General of the Philippines] whose friends included Henry James’ friend Robert Louis Stevenson) a writer/musician with whom UFO contactee George Adamski had co-authored one of the very first books on UFOs entitled Flying Saucers Have Landed (a history of UFO reports through the ages) back in 1953 A.D. (George Adamski, who claimed to be in constant telepathic communication with alien beings in flying saucers, was leader of a California cult known as the Royal Order of Tibet which had founded a monastery/school of philosophy at Laguna Beach, CA during the 1930s where he frequently gave lectures of a completely mystical nature), hosted the U.K.’s first UFO convention (co-hosted by the British Flying Saucer Bureau [a UK branch of ufologist WWII U.S. Army Air Force vet Albert K. Bender’s Bridgeport, CT-based International Flying Saucer Bureau (Pertinent Quote: “It is interesting that Bender had an obsessive interest in the occult and black magic as well as flying saucers so it is hardly surprising that he was visited by the devil.” – Flying Saucers from Hell)] founded in 1953 A.D. in Bristol [Bristol being a one-time home to a Stella Matutina temple (See p.131 The Rebirth of Witchcraft)] by RAF officer E.L. Plunkett whose cousin’s plane was involved in a UFO caused crash in 1947 A.D.) during the following summer of 1968 A.D. (Flying Saucers Have Landed is a best-seller which has been translated into 50 different languages and has been described as “a key text of the New Age movement.” In 1954 A.D., Desmond Leslie reported several UFO sightings which he alleges to have witnessed while in the presence of George Adamski while he was on a visit to the Adamski homestead in the American state of California. As we learn from Desmond Leslie’s Obituary in The Telegraph©: “Back in London, (Desmond) Leslie (a British Lord and former WWII RAF pilot who was married [1945 – 1969 A.D.] to former OSS agent Agnes Bernelle. During WWII Agnes Bernelle had worked under PWE-head Sefton Delmer under whom also served Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member/superspy Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick) joined forces with another Anglo-Irish aristocrat, Brinsley le Poer Trench, who as the 8th Earl of Clancarty later promoted a debate on UFOs in the House of Lords (Lord Clancarty Brinsley le Poer Trench served as vice-president of BUFORA [founded in 1962 A.D., he serving under BUFORA foundingmember/BUFORA president Lionel Beer, owner of Spacelink Books (established in 1967 A.D.) and publisher of Spacelink magazine (from 1967 – 1971 A.D.)], the British UFO Research Association. Brinsley le Poer Trench headed up the House of Lords UFO Study Group as well. During the early 1960s, Brinsley le Poer Trench 821

would found the International Sky Scouts UFO organization which in turn would give birth to the Contact International UFO Research [CIUFOR] organization). Together they founded Flying Saucer Review (FSR, a magazine devoted to UFO research founded in 1955 A.D., one of whose founding members was former RAF pilot Desmond Leslie and whose editorial board included Brinsley le Poer Trench [See the FSR website. FSR also has connections to the British branch of the Anthroposophical Society founded by Rudolph Steiner, the Anthroposophical Society attributing the modern-day UFO phenomenon to the activities of “demonic forces” (See FSR92V37N3)]. During the 1960s, the Directors of the Flying Saucer Review included Charles Harvard Gibbs-Smith [many FSR Directors meetings were held in his study situated above the Churchill-family associated Victoria and Albert Museum (it originally being founded as the Museum of Ornamental Art and housed in the Churchill-family owned Marlborough House) located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London sited very near to the 49th Imam Prince Aga Khan IV’s Ismaili Centre (the son of former League of Nations president Aga Khan III [an Ishmaili Muslim—Ishmaili Muslims are Sufi mystics descended from the Naziri Ismaili, better known as the Assassins)], a descendent of John Harvard, founder of Harvard College, they often being joined in this endeavor by Dr. J. Allen Hynek [a colleague of Jacques Vallee], scientific advisor to the U.S. Air Force under top secret Projects Sign, Grudge and Bluebook [See FSR: The Kabbalah by Dr. Bernard E. Finch, an RAF surgeon/FSR Director (FSR94V39N2)]. In our magical little story, in America, everywhere you turn your eye a Harvard man is at the top of the tree. Other consultants for Flying Saucer Review included Brad Steiger, a former member of the Gurdjieff Foundation, and French philosopher/psychologist Aime Michel, a colleague of Louis Pauwels [a known associate of G.I. Gurdjieff] and Jacques Bergier who served as an Allied French Intelligence agent during WWII). Contributors to FSR also included (OSS agent/psychiatrist) C.G. Jung, who published his own book on flying saucers in 1959 A.D. (UFO contactee George Adamski himself would give lectures at Carl Jung’s institute in Switzerland). Thereafter, Leslie continued to preach the message of the space people (the Contents page of Flying Saucer Review from 1965 A.D. and onward lists FSR’s Editor’s address as 21 Cecil Court, Charing Cross Road which is in fact the address for Watkins Books bookstore [Watkins Books was one of FSR’s major advertisers, offering books for sale within its pages on UFO subject matters authored by FSRassociated ufologists (including Desmond Leslie, George Adamski, Aime Michel, John Michell and Brinsley Le Poer Trench)]. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Watkins Books is London’s oldest esoteric bookshop specializing in esotericism, mysticism, occultism, oriental religion and contemporary spirituality. The book store was established by John M. Watkins, a friend of [Theosophical Society-founder] Madame Blavatsky, in 1897 at 26 Charing Cross… In 1901, Watkins Books moved to 21 Cecil Court where it has been continuously trading ever since.” – Wikipedia: Watkins Books.*** As noted in Aleister Crowley’s biography The Great Beast, Watkins Books was one of the London bookstores frequented by Aleister Crowley)… In 1963, he (Desmond Leslie) moved back to Castle Leslie, where in a bid to restore its finances he opened a night club, Annabel's on the Bog (bands including Pink Floyd performed here), and entertained such house guests as Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger (all close friends of the FSR-associated ufologist John Michell).” By all accounts Desmond Leslie was a talented musician, and Leslie also had had a 822

brief television and film screenwriter/directing career whose credits include the 1950 A.D. film Stranger at My Door (in which appears his OSS spy wife Agnes Bernelle) and the 1954 A.D. sci-fi film Stranger from Venus with Patricia Neal [Patricia Neal was married from 1953 – 1983 A.D. to British Intelligence agent Roald Dahl, an RAF officer who had served alongside British spy Ian Fleming [Ian Fleming was British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s case officer during WWII (See Secret Agent 666)] in Winston Churchill’s SOE during WWII]. Patricia Neal’s daughter is author actress Tessa Dahl [the pair appear in thew 1973 A.D. murder mystery Happy Mother's Day, Love George]). Concerning Castle Leslie: “Throughout the years many a famous face has frequented the house including Irish poet [the Carbonari-affiliated Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master] WB Yeats, Irish statesman General Michael Collins (Collins was an Irish revolutionary leader, president of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, successor organization to the Illuminati/Carbonari/Freemasonic Young Ireland movement of the 1840s which staged the unsuccessful so-called Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848 [one of the many Carbonari-staged Revolutions of 1848] and precursor organization to the modern-day Irish Republican Army [the IRA itself being a Carbonari construct]), Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger, British astronomer Sir Patrick Moore (again, astronomy goes hand in hand with astrology and magic even at this late date. A Royal Society Fellow, Sir Patrick Moore stars in Desmond Leslie’s 1960 A.D. film, Them And The Thing) and the Duc de Valentinois (a royal title in contemporary times held by Albert I, Prince of Monaco, and once claimed by his great-grandson, Prince Rainier III. Albert I’s second wife, Alice Heine [a cousin of poet/Young Germany-member Heinrich Heine], was the daughter of a GermanJewish banker whose Carbonari-sympathizing father had helped finance Carbonari Emperor Napoleon III’s war against Prussia), not to mention various members of the Churchill family (to whom the Leslies are related).” – Wikipedia: Castle Leslie. No doubt Castle Leslie belongs on the list of Illuminati places of interest on any Illuminati travel tour. The Leslie’s themselves are descended from the Leslie Counts of the Holy Roman Empire, traditional allies of the House of Habsburg. Of a less than interesting but pertinent note, in 2002 A.D. Beatles’ bandmember Paul McCartney’s marriage to Heather Mills took place in a chapel on this very estate. (***As we learn from the Watkins Books website’s ‘History’ section: “[Watkins Books owner] John Watkins was a friend and disciple of [Theosophical Societyfounder] H.P. Blavatsky and was himself personally involved in seeing the first edition of The Secret Doctrine, her great metaphysical classic, through his printing press… Two frequent visitors in those very early days were the Irish poet W.B. Yeats, himself a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was the magic-practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society], and G.R.S. Mead, author of numerous works on gnosticism and a prominent figure in the Theosophical Society… Watkins was joined by his son Geoffrey in 1919. John M. Watkins died on the 19th August in 1947, venerably aged 85. As a child Geoffrey met many of the leading occult figures of the time; [Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master S.L.] MacGregor Mathers, [Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master] W.B. Yeats, George [William] Russell, Aleister Crowley [all being leading members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order], all visited the shop and [Hermetic Order of the Golden 823

Dawn-member] A.E. Waite was a lifelong friend of Geoffrey Watkins [he likely being a Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member as well as such bookshops are centers of cult activities], as were many other occult authors. After the death of his father…Geoffrey continued to run the day-to-day business, a veritable walking encyclopaedia of philosophy, religion, and the paranormal. At this point Stuart and Robinson, wealthy and regular customers associated with the Gurdjieff and Ouspensky movement arrived to help [both Stuart and Robinson were associates of Gurdjieff’s and Ouspensky’s disciple, British psychiatrist Maurice Nicoll, a colleague of Theosophical Society-member Carl Jung in Zurich, Switzerland]. They bought Geoffrey Watkins out and rejuvenated the shop, but kept him on as a genteel backroom presence to advise the inquisitive customer on hand. They also expanded the publishing wing [this group publishing various books on the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky], and went on to create an Ecology Bookshop in Belgrave Square [Belgrave Square having been home (since 1955 A.D.) to the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain located at 11 Belgrave Road which was originally founded in 1872 A.D. as the Marylebone Spiritualist Association then located in Marylbone (whose members included William Stainton Moses, an early member of the Society for Psychical Research and founding member of the SPRaffiliated London Spiritualist Alliance [currently the College of Psychic Studies] who worked with renowned spiritualist mediums such as Lottie Fowler and H.P. Blavatsky’s friend D.D. Home [to whom is related British P.M. Alec Douglas-Home (a political ally of Winston Churchill) in whose government served Winston Churchill’s son-in-law Duncan Sandys, husband of Winston Churchill’s daughter Diana Spencer-Churchill who was suicided by drug overdose in 1963 A.D.]) in London’s West End and undergoing several location and name changes over the years (at one time located at 42 Russell Square in Holborn), it being a spiritualist organization one of the various incarnations of which Spiritualist mediums Emma Hardinge Britten and William T. Stead (W.T. Stead being a disciple of Thomas Carlyle whose associates included Carbonari-founder Giusseppe Mazzini) were at one time associated (its location corresponding with all the areas in London which the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn were known to operate. For more such Illuminating insite see the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain website)]… In the Orwellian year of 1984, after Geoffrey’s death, the bookshop was sold to Donald Weiser, the American publisher of oriental and occult books; Henry Suzuki [possibly related to Carl Jung’s associate D.T. Suzuki], the manager of the erstwhile Weiser Bookstore [aka Weiser Antiquarian Books whose notable customers included Karl Germer who succeeded Aleister Crowley as the head of the OTO] in the New York metropolis; and Robert Chris, whose uncle (of the same name) had been a bookseller of 20th century English literature and poetry in Cecil Court [a street in Covent Garden home to numerous antiquarian bookshops] since 1934.” Desmond Leslie was quite the American-British Intelligence connected/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-associated individual [as was Flying Saucer Review magazine]) Concerning Desmond Leslie’s aforementioned 1968 A.D. (perhaps BUFORA/CIUFORA/FSR sponsored) UFO convention: “…some influential individuals from the orthodoxy saw that the hippies were receptive to new ideas, and that mercurial aristocrat of flying saucer culture, 824

Desmond Leslie, decided to organise the UK’s first flying saucer convention for them (See FT225:40–47). The conference, held during the summer of 1968 on Lusty Beg Island on Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, was jointly organised by (Desmond) Leslie and Camilla, Countess of Erne (the wife of the Eton-educated earl, Henry Crichton, 6th Earl Erne, Lord-Lieutenant of Fermanagh since 1986 A.D. and made Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 2012 A.D. Henry Crichton’s grandfather had served as as a Lord of the Treasury in the second administration of the Carbonari Young England leader, British P.M. Benjamin Disraeli). Camilla was a wealthy socialite with an interest in flying saucers who frequented the edges of the Underground (of which Rolling Stones’ bandmembers [who were friends of Desmond Leslie] and their entourage, including OTO/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger and mystic ufologist John Michell, were front and center). The Lusty Beg event was small, with attendance estimated at about 80 people, but many of those who attended were influential movers and shakers from the Underground, including Nicholas Saunders (son of the Etoneducated Director of the London School of Economics, Sir Alexander Morris CarrSaunders, an associate of Julian Huxley), editor of Alternative London and founder of the Neal’s Yard shopping complex in Covent Garden (it was in Covent Garden, a district located on the eastern fringes of London’s West End, where was located the Freemasonic Grand Lodge of England [the GLE which was originally constituted in 1717 A.D. (See p.99 Secret Societies and Subversive Movements) in the City of London and known as the Blue Lodge from which the Illuminati drew its membership ranks and which in 1813 A.D. would merge with the rival Ancient Grand Lodge of England (in operation from 1751-1813 A.D.) to become the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE; See Appendix D)]). Saunders (an MDMA [aka Ecstacy]-advocate/author of the book E for Ecstasy who according to his 1998 MAPS Obituary: “had a belief derived from a Gurdjieff group he once belonged to”) recalled: “I was fascinated by what John Michell was saying about UFOs and leylines and so on, but felt pretty guarded about it too. I did go to a Flying Saucer conference on an island in the middle of a lake in the northwest of Ireland. There were all these people plodding about in the rain and the mud and there were very serious talks by people who either said that flying saucers had visited, that they’d been on flights themselves or that they’d seen them.” Another key member of the (London) Underground, Neil Oram (See FT217:44–49), was also there (Neil Oram, along with his business partner John ‘Hoppy’ Hopkins, was associated with the London Free School** which gave birth to the pagan-inspired Notting Hill Carnival [held annually on the streets of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea], the UFO Club [a music venue featuring the music of Pink Floyd] and the International Times Underground newspaper for which rag Barry Miles served as an editor). Oram had morphed from beatnik wanderer to hippie philosopher… Johan Quanjer (a New Age mystic philosopher), another attendee, recalled: ‘[D]ozens of people had descended on the island for fun, jollity and invocation of higher energies’ (read: they gathered to magically invoke the UFOs of the rebellious fallen angels).” - Fortean Times© Oct. 2007: A Saucer Full of Secrets by Andy Roberts (** Individuals associated with the London Free School included Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner, American record producer Joe Boyd of Elektra Records [a Warner Bros. Music Group label] and a founder of the UFO Club, The Rolling Stones’ inner circle member John Michell [the London Free School itself was located in the basement of John Michell’s residence], 825

Jeff Nuttall [who was associated with all of the Beat era poets including William S. Burroughs], the Allen Ginsberg-associated poet Michael Horovitz [whose wife was a BBC employee], [Beatnik poet] Neil Oram [Neil OIram’s father Bob Oram had worked along with RAF officer Frank Whittle to create the U.K.’s first jet engine], [drug dealer] Alexander Trocchi, the Warhol star Kate Heliczer [who was John ‘Hoppy’ Hopkins’ girlfriend at that time], the Tavistok Institute psychiatrist R.D. Laing [the Tavistock Institute was the psychological warfare agency for the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS)], actress Anjelica Huston [daughter of Hollywood director John Huston who himself worked at various times for Warner Bros.©; Angelica Huston’s acting career began with an uncredited role in the John Huston directed comedy spy film Casino Royale (1967 A.D.) starring British Intelligence agent turned actor David Niven and mafia-member Bugsy Siegel’s mafia/actor/friend George Raft] as well as UFO Club houseband bandmembers from the rock group Pink Floyd [See Echos: The Complete History of Pink Floyd by Glenn Povey]. Note the Warner Bros.© Intelligence-connected hidden hand in all of these proceedings. Yet another notable individual involved with the London Free School is Michael X. One of Michael X’s close associates was model/‘hostess’/drug dealer Julia CallanThompson who as we learn from Wikipedia: “…worked closely with both Alexander Trocchi [Trocchi, a known drug dealer, was Julia’s close personal friend; Trocchi himself ties to Michael Hollingshead, CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s associate from Harvard University], Michael X [who would hang for murdering a Guiness family heiress] and other less known [Underground] counter-cultural personalities such as [drug dealer] Terry Taylor [Terry Taylor spent a lot of time learning magic in Tangiers during the early 1960s alongside American Beatnik poets William S. Burroughs and Johnny Dolphin Allen (See Journey Around an Extraordinary Planet) importing the practice back to London where he in fine shamanic fashion combined these occult magic pursuits with LSD drug use] and Francis Morland [a Slade School of Fine Art-educated artist famous for his fiberglass sculptures which he duly used to smuggle drugs for which offense he had been repeatedly jailed; Francis Morland was a member of Princess Margaret’s social group]. While working around the Murray’s Cabaret Club [a hostess club (where men pay to hold conversations with woman) in Soho which operated as a front for organized crime activities including prostitution—many ‘hostesses’ such as Julia Callan-Thompson typically worked in the film industry as well (Julia Callan-Thompson appears as an extra in the 1964 A.D. Hal B. Wallis-directed film Becket starring Samson De Brier magic group attendee Richard Burton [whose fellow Samson De Brier magic group attendee Kenneth Anger was an inner-circle member of the Rolling Stones entourage] and as an extra in the aforementioned James Bond film Casino Royale alongside British spy/actor David Niven and so it would appear Julia Callen-Thompson was employed as a British spy as well)], she was also friendly with Christine Keeler [with whom she worked as a ‘hostess’ at Murray’s Cabaret Club; it was at Murray’s Cabaret Club where Christine Keeler first met Murray’s Cabaret Club-member Stephen Ward, and it was from Murray’s Cabaret Club from which Stephen Ward would procure the young prostitutes which he had supplied to his osteopathic ‘clients,’ his medical practice fronting for a house of prostitution, and whose ‘clients’ included British P.M. Winston Churchill] and others caught up in the Profumo Affair.” Julia CallanThompson was also associated with MKULTRA researcher Steve Abrams and his SOMA Research Associates organization—Steve Abram’s was considered to be the 826

Timothy Leary of the London Underground. It was individuals involved in the Ladbroke Grove/Notting Hill drugs/magic scene involving Terry Taylor, Chelsea call-girl Detta Whybrow, the hostess with the mostest Julia Callan-Thompson** and chemist Victor James Kapur who were involved in illicit LSD drug manufacturing in London following its criminalization in the 1960s which eventually ended in 1972 A.D. with the arrest of some 130 people [during Operation Julie] who were largely responsible for the production and distribution of LSD through the international Brotherhood of Eternal Love [BEL] drug trafficking network [over the British branch of which it would seem Steve Abrams himself, the Timothy Leary of the London Underground (in association with Timothy Leary’s MKULTRA associate Michael Hollingshead) presided] of over 100 million doses of LSD in Great Britain over a six-year period) (** “Julia’s friends [Julia Callan-Thompson’s friends] allegedly included the infamous such as Alexander Trocchi [“Both she and a number of her boyfriends were heavily involved in Trocchi’s drug dealing…”], Michael X, Bob Guccione, Timothy Leary, Colin MacInnes, R.D. Laing, Eric Clapton and William [S.] Burroughs, to the fleetingly known including Michael Hollingshead, Roger Taylor, Simon Vinkenoog, Feliks Topolski, Bill Hopkins, David Solomon, Steve Abrams, Brian Barritt, Charlie Radcliffe, Graham Plinston, John 'Hoppy' Hopkins [as Julia Callan-Thompson was involved with the London Free School in Notting Hill], Tambimuttu and Terry Taylor, down to those relative 'unknowns' who formed an important part of the Notting Hill scene of the sixties and seventies...” - JULIA CALLAN-THOMSON: STEWART HOME'S HIPPIE MAMMA) This group of UFO enthusiasts gathered at Lusty Beg Island in 1968 A.D. likely performed a 50 year anniversary rehash of Aleister Crowley’s 1918 A.D. Amalantrah Working (conducted with his Bern, Switzerland-born Scarlet Woman Leah Hirsig in New York City on Manhattan Island [ Central Park West]) wherein he had established contact with an extraterrestrial being named Lam and which had originally resulted in Crowley’s signal novel The Book of the Law. As is written in The Book of the Law, practitioners of this magic rite were therein instructed to: “Choose…an island” [such as Lusty Beg Island or Manhattan Island for instance] where the rite was to be staged whereby they were purportedly to be given: “…a war-engine. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you,” the ‘war-engine’ being understood to be a ‘flying saucer,’ the aerial instrument of the gods. For this reason an island location was chosen for the magic ritual. It would be interesting to know the identities of the ritualists. It was however amongst this magic circle that Crowleyite Kenneth Anger and the Rolling Stones band members associated. Perhaps the ritualists also included Donald Seaton Cammell (Notable Quote: “Any number of public personalities have seen UFO’s, from Senator [Barry] Goldwater to Muhammad Ali. The champ says he has seen UFO’s on seven occasions, and nobody wants to fight him about it [Pertinent Quote: “Originally known as Cassius Clay, Ali changed his name after joining the Nation of Islam in 1964 (the Nation of Islam is by definition a ‘UFO religion’), subsequently converting to Sunni Islam in 1975, and more recently practicing Sufism (Sufism is black magic as practiced by Yezidi devil worshippers).” – Wikipedia: Muhammad Ali]…Jackie Gleason [Gleason was a friend of U.S. President/Pythian Knight Richard M. Nixon, Pythian Knights known for being devoted practitioners of magic], who has a serious interest in occult and psychic phenomena, has seen two UFO’s and is convinced life exists on other planets. Sammy Davis Jr. [a Church of Satan member], Rolling 827

Stone guitarist Mick Taylor [an associate of Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger], and many other well-known personalities have reported [UFO] sightings. In a rather unique story of UFO benevolence, William Shatner, the TV actor who plays the captain of the ‘starship’ Enterprise on the serial ‘Star Trek,’ got highway directions from a UFO. Shatner got lost in the desert on a trip and spotted a UFO above. A voice from the visitor ‘impressed itself’ [telepathically] on Shatner’s mind, telling him the right direction to travel to safety. The actor believes the UFO saved his life and is grateful to his ‘fellow space travelers.’” – UFOs: What on Earth is Happening by Weldon/Levitt, 1975 A.D. [William Shatner it is interesting to note stars in a post-Star Trek series role in the 1975 A.D. horror film The Devil’s Rain along with Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey (who incidentally enough plays the ‘High Priest’ in this film as well as formally serving as the film’s technical advisor) and Church of Satan-member Keenan Wynn,** a film containing as Church of Satan-member/Army Intelligence/high-ranking NSA officer Michael A. Aquino notes in his book The Church of Satan p.392: “…authentic Satanic ritual sequences…” Interviewed during the filming of The Devil’s Rain, Anton LaVey himself alludes to being a part of and I duly quote him here, “an elite force of Satanists” whose very objective it is “to rule the world.” (See Argosy© Magazine: The Satanist Who Wants to Rule the World,[June 1975)]. Amongst William Shatner’s earlier films is a starring role in Roger Corman’s 1962 A.D. film The Intruder). All of these individuals were involved in occult magic practices, a quite common thread amongst UFO contactees (For more information on this theme, see The Demonic Theory of UFOs by John of the Gentiles). Other celebrities within our story with expressed occult tendencies who have experienced UFO encounters include Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Mick Jagger and his girlfriend Marianne Faithfull, Jimmy Hendrix, David Bowie, Shirley MacLaine, Walter Cronkite and Church of Scientology-member Tom Cruise. Scientology itself is considered to be a ‘UFO religion’ as well. (**Another common cinematic connection between the Rat Pack, the Church of Satan, murdered OTO-witch/actress Sharon Tate, Playboy© Magazine and General Hap Arnold-connected Hollywood actors/directors is the 1959 A.D. Frank Capra-directed film entitled A Hole in the Head starring Frank Sinatra and Keenam Wynn along with Playboy© Playmate [Dec. 1958] Joyce Nizzari [who like Sharon Tate (who has also been featured in the pages of Playboy©) has appeared in no less that 3 episodes of the Beverly Hillbillies], a former Playboy Bunny from the original Playboy Club in Chicago who had personally dated Hugh Hefner [who was herself a good friend of Sharon Tate’s husband, director Roman Polanski]. Bond girl Jill St. John [who has likewise been featured in the pages of Playboy©] appears in the film as well, as does Aaron Spelling’s wife Carolyn Jones [aka Morticia from The Addams Family, she starred in various movies alongside Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley, Vincent Price (who appears in numerous Roger Corman films), Marilyn Monroe and in other Rat Pack movies as well. Aaron Spelling got his start selling a script to Ronald Reagan’s first wife, actress Jane Wyman], along with Edward G. Robinson whose son Edward G. Robinson, Jr. stars in the 1958 A.D. AIP fiilm Tank Battalion. Other actresses who appear in this film include Joi Lansing [who previously appeared in Hillbillys in a Haunted House with Basil Rathbone and John Carradine] and Connie Sawyer [who appears in over 100 television episodes in shows such as The Honeymooners with Richard Nixon’s occultist friend Jackie Gleason and Murder, She Wrote with the 828

Theosophical Society-connected actress Angela Lansbury]. This film also introduced the smash Frank Sinatra hit High Hopes which would be used the following year as John F. Kennedy’s presidential theme song. This film just goes to show the interconnectedness of all of these people and organizations who/which are in fact an intricate part of our story)

Another British aristocrat involved in the 1960s UFO/ley lines/King Arthur/Holy Grail magic scene was Oxford University grad William David Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech (1918 – 1985 A.D.) who served as British Ambassador to the United States from 1961 – 1965 A.D. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Ormsby-Gore was the second son of William Ormsby-Gore, 4th Baron Harlech (Baron Harlech was a Knight [a witch] of the Order of the Garter), a Conservative politician, and Lady Beatrice Edith Mildred (born Cecil) (Lady Beatrice was the sister of Lord David Cecil, first cousin to Arthur Balfour). British Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury (from whom Aleister Crowley had received his appointment in the Diplomatic Service [See p.107 Eye in the Triangle]), was his maternal great-grandfather (it is to a distant relative of the Marquess of Salisbury, namely, the Countess of Salisbury, a high priestess in a witch’s coven, to whom the creation of the original Order of the Garter witch’s coven is credited [See Appendix A]). He was educated at St Cyprian’s School, Eton College and Oxford University. In 1939 he was commissioned into the Royal Artillary…served in the 'Phantom' reconnaissance unit (also known as GHQ Liason Regiment. Recall British Intelligence agent-turned-actor David Niven commanded "A" Squadron of the GHQ Liason Regiment during this period. No doubt the two were very well acquainted) and worked with airborne and other special units. By the end of the War he held the rank of major… In 1948 he was commissioned a Major in the Shropshire Yeomanry, but left in 1950. At the 1950 general election he was elected as Member of Parliament for Owestry, which he remained until 1961. Under Prime Minister Anthony Eden (Anthony Eden was married to Winston Churchill’s niece, Clarissa ChurchillSpencer) he served briefly, from November 1956 to January 1957, as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; and under Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was from 1957 to 1961 Minister of State for Foreign Affairs (John F. Kennedy’s sister Kathleen Kennedy had been married to William Cavendish, the Marquess of Hartington whose brother was a cabinet minister under British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and whose father Edward Cavendish, the 10th Duke 829

of Devonshire, served as 33° Freemasonic Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England [UGLE]** from 1947 - 1950 A.D. Such marriages were often arranged as familial alliances, in this case, a witch family familial alliance (**Notable Quote by Those in the Know: “A particularly violent and nerve wracking group of Black Magicians exists in Sussex.” – Diary of a Witch by Sybil Leek, 1968 A.D. Sybil Leek in The Complete Art of Witchcraft p.70 circa 1971 A.D. would again describe Sussex as the county home to “a great number of practicing black magicians.” The famous witch Sybil Leek, a onetime associate of Aleister Crowley [Crowley himself would end his days at a private hotel known as the ‘Netherwood’ in Hastings, East Sussex in England (Ibid p.58)] it is interesting to note, was herself descended from a British witch named Barbara Palmer, Lady Castlemayne [Ibid p.88], a second cousin to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough [from whom the Eton grad P.M. Winston Churchill was descended], who was one of the many mistresses of King Charles II whose notable descendents also include Lady Diana, Princess of Wales [whose father John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer served as Equerry to Queen Elizabeth II (the Spencers are related to the Walkers [think: George Herbert Walker Bush] by marriage). Lady Di was the wife of Queen Elizabeth II’s son Charles, Prince of Wales**], U.S. President George W. Bush and the abovementioned British P.M. Anthony Eden). Many of the members of our black little magical story with ties to and/or with homes in Sussex it is interesting to note include Rock and Roll musician/witch Brian Jones, Renaissance poet Thomas May, Shakespeare collaborator John Fletcher [Fletcher served in the court of Queen Elizabeth I whose own court advisor was ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee], British witch Sybil Leek’s family friend/Intelligence head H.G. Wells [British spy/ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley was known to have visited the Leek’s estate often as well], Theosophical Society-members Henry James and Spiritualist/psychical researcher Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, poet Hilaire Belloc, poet Rudyard Kipling [Wells, Doyle, Belloc and Kipling had all served in the same Intelligence department during WWI], Judith Blunt-Lytton [who was the godmother of Patrick Benjamin Guiness, son of Joan Guiness and Prince Aly Khan, himself a Sufi magic-practicing mystic. The Guiness family were political allies of British P.M. Winston Churchill], daughter-in-law to Robert Bulwer-Lytton 1st Earl of Lytton, the Wiccan witches Alex Sanders and Doreen Valiente, Ahmed Rollo [Ahmed Rollo as Doreen Valliente explains in The 830

Rebirth of Witchcraft pp.138-139: “…had an active magical circle in Brighton [a port city in Sussex]… Brighton has always enjoyed a reputation for bohemianism ever since the Prince of Wales (**the traditional leader of a witch’s coven organized under the Order of the Garter) came down here in the eighteenth century to do the things he could not get away with in London.” As she also explains therein, it was in Sussex at Sussex Downs where Robert Cochrane conducted his outdoor witch’s Sabbats a number of which she as a coven member had attended (Ibid p.125), this being home of the Chanctonbury Ring, the Devil’s Jump, the Devil’s Hump and the Long Man of Wilmington, all sacred sites associated with witchcraft rituals where witches were wont to gather. As Doreen Valiente who herself resided in Brighton in Sussex for 30 years from the late 1960s until her death in 1999 A.D. (where she did most of her writing) additionally notes therein: “Ahmed’s old students and followers (including amongst which group was Dennis Wheatley it is certainly interesting to note) were still in Brighton at the time of which I write (circa 1989 A.D.) and still performing their rituals. These sometimes involved blood sacrifices…”], poet, Spiritualist, Cambridge Apostle and Fellow of the Royal Society Alfred Lord Tennyson, Virginia Woolf [Woolf’s aunt was British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, and it is possible both are related to Marjorie Cameron; members of the Bloomsbury Group including T.S. Eliot, E.M. Forster, Roger Fry and Cambridge Apostles-member Lytton Strachey were known to have visited Woolf’s home in Sussex often], and everybody’s favorite English mystic poet/free-love proponent, William Blake, as well as no small number of aristocratic UGLE magic-practicing 33° Freemasonic Grandmasters [See Appendix D] including the abovementioned Edward Cavendish himself. Edward Cavendish, like so many other UGLE Freemasonic Grandmasters before him, was a Knight of the Order of the Garter, the Order of the Garter being a traditional witch’s coven [See Appendix A]. The Cavendish clan of illustrious Illuminatis has long had a Royal Society association (most notable amongst whom was alchemist/physicist Henry Cavendish [b.1735 – d.1810 A.D.]), an institute itself initially formulated for the scientific study of magic, and members of the Cavendish family have long served as elected trustees for the British Museum which was originally built to house the Sloane collection of mediaeval magical manuscripts [Cavendish family member Thomas Cavendish would serve as a court commissioned English privateer during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I 831

whose main court advisor was ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee, a member of informal Invisible College which would give birth to the court sanctioned Royal Society]. The Cavendish family also has deep University of Cambridge connections, Cambridge being a major recruiting center for members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [Cambridge University’s Cavendish Laboratory (founded 1874 A.D.) received its endowment from British M.P. William Cavendish (b.1808 – d.1891 A.D.), 7th Duke of Devonshire, who served as Chancellor of Cambridge University from 1861 – 1891 A.D. The Cavendish Laboratory in the Department of Physics at Cambridge University was involved in Manhattan Project scientific efforts which resulted in the development of the world’s first atomic bomb, the penultimate classic modern example of magicians aiding in martial conquest]). Edward Cavendish’s sister, Lady Dorothy, was married to British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and had carried on a longterm affair with Lord Boothby who was a close associate of the Kray brothers). After the election of U.S. President John F. Kennedy he (Ormsby-Gore) was appointed British Ambassador to the United States. Ormsby-Gore had known Kennedy well from his time spent in London where his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, had served as American Ambassador. Like (Harold) Macmillan (P.M. Harold Macmillan’s son Maurice Macmillan was along with actor David Niven an officer in GHQ Liason Regiment in which unit Ormsby-Gore also served. Maurice Macmillan had married Ormsby-Gore’s sister Katharine in 1942 A.D. Another GHQ Liason Regiment officer, Sir Hugh Fraser [who according to his obituary was a “specialist in oil and Middle Eastern affairs”; it would be interesting to learn if in fact Robert (Hugh) Fraser was related to Sir Hugh Fraser which does in fact seem to be the case], was a well known friend of the Kennedy family clan) Ormsby-Gore was distantly related to Kennedy, but had a closer relationship than did Macmillan with the President-elect and his brother Robert…Ormsby-Gore was one of the pallbearers at Robert Kennedy’s funeral…” Ormsby-Gore’s daughter Alice became engaged to rock guitarist Eric Clapton in 1969 A.D.—the two had previously lived together for a span of five years. Another of his daughters, Jane, had had an affair with Mick Jagger during the 1960s (she is the subject of The Rolling Stones’ song ‘Lady Jane.’ Jane would marry Michael Rainey, owner of the upscale Hung On You Chelsea boutique, these individuals all being part of the vaunted ‘Chelsea Set,’ the ‘Swinging London’ Underground social scene of 832

which we’ve been discussing. It is to this group whom had gravitated filmmakers Kenneth Anger and Donald Seaton Cammell). Some very interesting facts indeed, made all the more interesting when one throws a GHQ Liason Regiment officer named Christopher Mayhew, also known as Lord Mayhew, into the magical mix. Mayhew was a British Labour party politician and a friend of Dr. Humphry Osmond: “In 1955, Mayhew took part in an experiment that was intended to form a Panorama special for BBC TV that was never broadcast (Panorama was produced by Charles Wheeler who had served as an Intelligence agent [30 AU] during Project Paperclip under Ian Fleming during WWII). In this, under the guidance of his friend, Dr Humphry Osmond, Mayhew ingested 400 mg of [the psychedelic drug] mescaline hydrochloride and allowed himself to be filmed for the duration of the trip.” Very, very interesting indeed: “So what led such an upstanding pillar of the political scene to take part in such an eyebrow-raising experiment? The answer, as is so often the case, is that he was led astray by a rebellious mate from school. The schoolfriend in question was one Dr Humphry Fortescue Osmond, a scientist who became interested in the field of hallucinogens in 1952 while working on a cure for mental illness [the cover story for his MKULTRA activities]. Having found himself eschewed by the British psychiatric establishment who were suspicious of his experiments, he upped sticks and relocated to Canada where, purportedly funded and protected by the CIA, he continued his research at the Weyburn Mental Hospital, Saskatchewan. A key historical figure, often overlooked, it was Dr Osmond who, the following year, embraced science-fiction writer Aldous Huxley with the fruits of his research, introducing him to the world of mescaline and who, during the ensuing correspondence, first coined the word ‘psychedelic.’ As a direct result of his experiences at the receiving end of Osmond’s spoon (the means by which Dr. Osmond administered his psychedelic substances), Huxley wrote his infamous guinea-pig dissertation The Doors Of Perception (first published in Great Britain by Chatto & Windus Ltd 1954),** a book which would later become a veritable bible amongst the 60s acid subculture.” - SOTCAA Panarama: The Mescaline Experiment February 2005. And there you have it. All roads lead from the CIA to British Intelligence and from there to MKULTRA! (**Chatto & Windus Ltd, established 1855 A.D.,

published books by authors including Mark Twain, H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley and by 1946 A.D. this publishing house had taken over the day to day operations of Leonard and Virginia Woolfs’ Hogarth 833

Press. In 1969 A.D. it became part of Johnathan Cape publishers [located on Gower Street** in the Bloomsbury section of London], publishers of books by W.H. Davies [including The Hour of Magic and other Poems by W.H. Davies, 1922 A.D.], T.E. Lawrence, Peter Fleming and Ian Fleming (along with occultists Robert Graves and Christopher Isherwood), most if not all of the aforementioned authors being known British Intelligence agents/assets. Suffice it to say, The Doors Of Perception was born of MKULTRA and these publishing houses served as British Intelligence front companies/agents of influence) (**William Morris’ Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was founded in the Millais family house here on Gower Street in 1848 A.D. and from 1976 - 1995 A.D. the MI5 British Intelligence agency would be headquartered here on Gower Street in the Bloomsbury district. The Theosophical Society’s Theosophical Publishing House was located at 1 Upper Woburn Place in the Bloomsbury district as well)

Enter sci-fi author Millen Cooke: “…Millen Cooke’s entire body of published science fiction appeared in four short years, between May 1946 and May 1950. Her first marriage (in 1943 A.D.), to a man deeply interested in the occult (later 1960s counter-culture personality John Starr Cooke), was inclusive of those years. Also during that period, two new real-world beliefs, (L. Ron Hubbard’s) Dianetics and flying saucers, began to evolve out of the work of science fiction writers. Millen Cooke would be involved in both. Millen Cooke’s first husband, John Starr Cooke, was born into a wealthy and prominent family (John Starr Cooke was a descendent of Hawaiian missionary Amos Starr Cooke, the grandson of Revolutionary War officer Joseph Platt Cooke) in Honolulu, Hawaii, on March 9, 1920. He became interested in the occult early in life and used a Ouija board to make important decisions (a common practice amongst Spiritists, Spiritualists and Theosophical Society members), including the decision to marry. (CIA Intelligence asset John Starr) Cooke and Wilma Dorothy Vermilyea (thenceforth known as Millen Cooke) married in 1943 and divorced in 1951…She also wrote science fiction, which remains as a large part of her legacy today. An actor and dancer, (John Starr) Cooke appeared on stage and in movies (as an extra) during the early 1940s and was involved in theosophy, Scientology, and the Baha’i faith (William Randolph Hearst’s mother Phoebe Hearst [a member of the Baha’i faith] had played a key role in the spread of this religion in the United States. Phoebe Hearst was also a major benefactor of the University of California, Berkeley, serving as a regent on its governing board). He also claimed to own Aleister Crowley’s own crystal ball. (John Starr) Cooke lived in North Africa (in spysaturated Tangier in northern Africa) for many years before returning to the United States in the late 1950s…Cooke became involved in the counter-culture movement in the San Francisco area during the tumultuous ’60s. After many years living in Mexico, John Starr Cooke died of cancer on August 21, 1976. Millen’s second husband was William Burke Belknap, Jr., a friend and associate of her first. Like Cooke, Belknap was the scion of a prominent family. Born on December 30, 1923, in Goshen, Kentucky, he graduated from Yale University and worked as a chemical 834

engineer (a modern day alchemist). He became interested in L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics and served as president of the Freudian Foundation of America, Inc. (which foundation was associated with the fly-by-night Sequoia University from which L. Ron Hubbard obtained an honorary ‘Doctorate of Philosophy’), a Scientological organization dating from the early 1950s. He and Millen were married for a brief period during which she was also involved in Scientology. Their marriage ended in divorce, after which he remarried, in 1960. Burke Belknap lived and worked in Oceanside, California, and passed away on November 26, 2010. On June 16, 1961, Millen topped off her marriages to fringe figures when she walked down the aisle with (take a deep breath) The Right Honourable William Francis Brinsley Le Poer Trench, 8th Earl of Clancarty, 7th Marquess of Heusden. Le Poer Trench (1911-1995) was an Irish peer, a member of Dutch nobility, and a member of the House of Lords. He was also a believer in ancient astronauts, a hollow earth, and flying saucers. Editor of the Flying Saucer Review from 1956 to 1959, Le Poer Trench wrote several books on the subject, including The Sky People (1960),** The Flying Saucer Story (1966), Operation Earth (1969), and Secret of the Ages (1974) (Brinsley le Poer Trench, in his time considered the leader of the international UFO movement itself, was notably enough a Hollow Earth Theory proponent, and this belief was greatly shaded by the legends of Azazel’s entrapment within the inner recesses of the earth: “Brinsley le Poer Trench…went on to write seven books on UFOs… In his latest, Secret of the Ages, he reveals that most UFOs come, not from space, but from bases inside the earth, which is hollow and inhabited…by colonists from space. These people are still present, within the hollow earth and in caverns deep within our feet.” – p.231 Eccentric Lives and Peculiar Notions by John Michell, 1984 A.D.). Millen, who had been investigating aliens and UFOs for a quarter century, provided some of the concepts and content for Le Poer Trench’s first book. Unfortunately, he did not give her credit when The Sky People was published. According to an anonymous source, part of his second book, Men Among Mankind (1962), was hers as well.” – Tellers of Weird Tales: Wilma Dorothy Vermilyea (** “The great UFO wave of the 1960’s had a visible effect on the youth subculture. The use of hallucinatory drugs often produced visions remarkably similar to the visions of the [UFO] contactees… During the peak years UFO lecturers were in great demand on college campuses, often extracting large fees to spread the gospel of the space people.” - The Flying Saucer Subculture by John A. Keel. By 1967 A.D. no less than thirty books on the subject of UFOs were in print or in reprint, one of these being the aforementioned book The Sky People [1960 A.D.] by ufologist Brinsley Le Poer Trench, created in the basic Ancient Astronaut mold [more on this subject later] as he in fact therein writes: “Stories of the Space People coming to Earth in their golden sky chariots in past ages emanate not only from Greece and the Biblical Lands, but from everywhere on the planet” [See p.104], amongst which group was as he notes the “Serpent People” that “came down from earth and walked with men” where they “reigned as kings” and “gave much wisdom to mortals,” the “one most worshipped” of whom was the Egyptian god “Osiris” [See p.53] (Osiris is the Genesis serpent Azazel). Le Poer Trench goes on to explain how: “All through the ages…Sky People have been visiting Planet Earth… Today, these extra-terrestrial visitors are to be seen in our skies in their traditional space ships. Some of them are here among us mingling with you in your offices and in your homes. Yes, the occupants of these craft have always been with you. They are with you now, although you pass by them in the street without noticing them” [See pp.172-173]. Brinsley Le Poer Trench even professes the prophesied coming of the “Buddha Maitraya” (who is in all actuality the false prophet Azazel) is to represent “Christ in his Second Appearance” [See The Sky People p.96], thereby revealing a heavy Theosophical Society bent to his writings; he therein even 835

instructs his readers of the fact: “…the Sky People are the vanguard of the One [presumably Maitraya] who comes to rule over his kingdom on Earth.” [Ibid p.163]. As John Michell relates in Eccentric Lives and Peculiar Notions: “In 1967 he [Brinsley Le Poer Trench] founded Contact International [since renamed Contact International UFO Research (CIUFOR)] as a means of linking UFO study groups in different countries, in many of which he has attended meetings. One of his missions was to Japan, where his books are popular [the Tokyo-based Flying Saucer Research group headed by Japanese Air Force pilot Yusuke Matsumura being an affiliated member of his International UFO Observer Corps], to officiate at the launching of a new UFO religion and the unveiling of a monument to the Space Brothers.” These so-called ‘Space Brothers’ are fallen angels) (All of these associations begin to make much more sense when one considers the identities of the members of the infamous 18th Century Hell Fire Club with which the Illuminus statesman Benjamin Franklin had been associated [and the palace intrigues which were hatched therein], a prominent member of which was the Eton-educated British P.M. William Pitt the Elder, 1st Earl of Chatham [the pro-colonist advisor to the King (Lord Privy Seal) who had lost his courtly favor at the King’s own death upon the ascension to the throne of King George III from whom the colonists including Benjamin Franklin had sought their Independence; the city of Pittsburgh, PA itself was named in William Pitt’s honor—Benjamin Franklin was a resident of the colony of Pennsylvania and served as its colonial representative to the crown. The Imperialistic Prime Minister William Pitt is himself given credit for the birth of the British Empire, and Pitt’s defeat of France in Canada would provide in part the impetus for the French Revolution]. William Pitt was the son of Robert Pitt, the eldest son of Governor Pitt [much of whose wealth had been gleaned from Britain’s India possessions]. William Pitt’s mother was Harriet Villiers, the daughter of British Brigadier-General Edward Villiers-FitzGerald and the Irish heiress Katherine FitzGerald, Viscountess Grandison (from whose family U.S. President John FitzGerald Kennedy [JFK] is descended; the Fiztgeralds and Villiers are descended from a long line of magic-practicing nobles including but not limited to the Medieaval alchemist Gerald FitzGerald, 11th Earl of Kildare and George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham [a court favorite of King Charles I] whose own chief advisor, the Rennaissance-era English cunning man John ‘The Duke’s Devil’ Lambe, was during the early 17th century accused of rape and nefarious black magic practices for which he was killed by an irate London mob), the one-time wife of John Le Poer, 2nd Earl of Tyrone [from whom was descended the abovementioned author/ufologist Brinsley Le Poer Trench]. He was descended from Sir John Le Poer whose wife Dame Alice Kyteler was a famous Irish witch, high-priestess of the witches of Kilkenny. Amongst European royalty, Biblically outlawed incestuous relationships were often the order of the day particularly during the monarchal Grand Tour era as relatives commonly intermarried one amongst another, with various European countries often ruled by members of a common inter-bred family of nobles. Note the familial link between the Kennedys and Brinsley Le Poer Trench, and Brinsley Le Poer Trench’s association with the CIA-associated occultist John Starr Cooke. The Villiers are related by marriage to the Churchills most notably through George Villiers, 4th Earl of Jersey [a courtier in the court of King George III], the son of William Villiers, 3rd Earl of Villiers and Lady Anne Egerton, the daughter of Scroop Egerton, 1st Duke of Bridgewater and his first wife, Lady Elizabeth Churchill, a daughter of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough and his wife Sarah Jennings [from whom is descended British P.M. Winston Churchill]. Just one big happy Illuminati witch family. It is also interesting to note the eldest brother of America’s first president George Washington’s great-great-grandfather Lawrence Washington [1602–1653 A.D.] was married to Anne Villiers, sister of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham)

It was Donald Cammell (Cammell it was said was Aleister Crowley’s ‘magickal child’), significantly enough, who played the god Osiris in Kenneth Anger’s Egyptian magic-ritual-on-film entitled Lucifer Rising (at the conclusion of this movie a ‘flying saucer’ [not real] is seen to slowly fly directly overhead, the end 836

result of their magic invocation, which brings to mind a passage from John Michell’s Eccentric Lives and Peculiar Notions p.229: “…the subject of flying saucers is rather like practical occultism, tending to manifest its phenomena to those who invoke them.” And Michell should be in the know seeing as how both he and Kenneth Anger were both intimate members of The Rolling Stones’ inner circle of friends). Kenneth Anger had personally known Donald Cammell, The Rolling Stones band members as well as Anita Pallenberg who was the girlfriend at various times of Rolling Stones band members Brian Jones and Keith Richards: “In (Kenneth) Anger, the Rolling Stones saw a short-cut to the spiritually-rebellious chic (Satanism) that was de rigeur in the late 1960s. ‘Kenneth Anger told me I was his right hand man,’ Keith Richards boasted to an interviewer. In the (Rolling) Stones, Anger saw attractively provocative heralds of his new aeon (the Aeon of Horus, who is Azazel). Speaking of Richards, founder member Brian Jones and Anita Pallenberg (a member of the Stone’s entourage who had been a lover of both Jones and Richards) (Pallenberg is herself surrounded by mystery. Of Anita Pallenberg Tony Sanchez cryptically notes: “…no one ever seemed to know quite where she came from or who she was” but soon after her timely appearance on the scene “she became the darling of aristrocratic London…invited to society events by people like Lord Harlech (Kennedy-family friend William David Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech) and Guiness heir Tara Browne” [with whom they had repeatedly shared LSD experiences; it was concerning Tara Browne’s death in an automobile accident in 1966 A.D. that The Beatles’ wrote their song ‘A Day in the Life’]. Tara Browne was founder of the Dublin folk band The Chieftans [founded 1962 A.D.] and was related to Guiness Brewery founder Edward Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, personal friend to Irish revolutionary W. T. Cosgrave [for instance, Cosgrave, a Sinn Féin member, took part in the Irish Republican Brotherhood’s 1916 A.D. Easter Rising, succeeded the IRA’s Director of Intelligence Michael Collins as Chairman of the Irish Provisional Government and effectually served as Prime Minister of the Irish Free State. The Ormsby-Gore’s through John Ormsby-Gore, 1st Baron Harlech, are related to the Gore-Booth’s including Irish revolutionary Sinn Fein members Constance Gore-Booth (a Slade School of Art-grad/Julian Academy-attendee also known as Countess Markievicz following her marriage to Count Casimir Markievicz, a member of the Russian nobility. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Markievicz [an associate of Irish revolutionary Maude Gonne] was part of the literary circle that centred on W.B. Yeats and the Abbey Theatre.” Constance would serve as the Minister for Labour of the short-lived Irish Republic from 1919–1922 A.D.) and her sister Eva Gore-Booth, childhood friends of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats, both being known participants of the Easter Rising (Eva Gore-Booth was a friend of Scottish children’s fairy tales author/poet George MacDonald (George MacDonald, author of such works as The Princess and the Goblin, was children’s fairy tale author Lewis Carroll’s mentor; Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland, was a known member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn], a friend of John Ruskin, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Walt Whitman and Mark Twain)]. The Guinesses were political allies of P.M. Winston Churchill), Anger said, ‘I believe that Anita is, for want of a better word, a witch … The Occult unit within the (Rolling) Stone’s was Keith (Richards) and Anita (Pallenberg) … and Brian (Jones). You see, Brian was a witch too, I’m convinced. He showed me his 837

witch’s tit (his ‘Devil’s Mark,’ the means by which, Inquisitors maintained, a witch’s familiar, often in the form of a cat, was nourished. As noted in The Black Art [1936 A.D.]: “It was believed the Devil left his mark on all those who were pledged to him,” and, as we learn from Wichcraft in England [1947 A.D.]: “When the familiars took animal form the witches were supposed to nourish them with their own blood…by suckling them… One of the surest proofs of guilt was the discovery of a supernumerary nipple…little more was needed for condemnation.”). He had a supernumerary tit in a very sexy place, on his inner thigh. He said, ‘In another time, they would have burned me (for being a witch).’” – Lucifer Rising by Gavin Baddeley (In the so-called ‘High Bohemian’ Underground at the heart of Swingin’ London witchcraft was popular amongst the politically influential London aristrocratic scene. OTO-member Gary Lachman describes the scene at Brian’s and Anita’s: “The atmosphere was one of splendor, sorcery and decay, a dizzying blend of drugs, magic and sexual excess [all of the ingredients necessary for sex-magic].” According to Marianne Faithfull: “The place was a veritable witches coven of decadent illuminati, rock princelings and hip aristos.” [See p.294 Turn Off Your Mind]). Their occult connections though run much, much deeper than this. Kenneth Anger had been a long-time friend of the Rolling Stones’ band members and Mick Jagger’s girlfriend, Marianne Faithful, a member of The Process Church of the Final Judgment, appeared in the second version of Kenneth Anger’s film Lucifer Rising (Anger often continuously remade his films). Cast members of this film also included: (British-spy-Aleister-Crowley’s-disciple Jack Parson’s next door neighbor) Kenneth Anger (a member of the OTO in which both Crowley and Parsons were members; Anger was also a member of Anton LaVey’s OTO-associated Church of Satan), Donald Cammell (Cammell was one of British spy Aleister Crowley’s old neighbors), Marianne Faithfull (who was the daughter of a British spy; spycraft, like witchcraft, one will find, is also hereditary in nature and both professions traditionally go hand in hand, most particularly in Britain), Myriam Gibril (presumably also a witch, as she takes part in this magic ritual as well), (Charlie Manson Family-member/Anton LaVey-associate) Bobby Beausoleil (Bobby Beausoleil [a witch in The Process Church of the Final Judgment and a member of Solar Lodge OTO-member Charles Manson’s coven of witches] and Kenneth Anger would often UFO-watch together), Chris Jagger (Rolling Stones’ bandmember Mick Jagger’s younger brother) and (Led Zeppelin’s) Jimmy Page (Page was the owner of Aleister Crowley’s old house [Boleskine House] in Scotland and a close acquaintance of Kenneth Anger; Kenneth Anger once lived with Jimmy Page for a time there at Boleskine House and Page had even composed the music for Kenneth Anger’s film Lucifer Rising). As an extra added bonus, the British Intelligence agent/OTO-member/Freemason Gerald Yorke, a friend of Kenneth Anger and a former member of Aleister Crowley’s very own A.:A.: magic order is credited as ‘Thelemic consultant’ for this film. A reasonable person might reasonably deduce that all involved had British Intelligence associations, shades of the Illuminati. As Ed Sanders, author of the Manson Family exposѐ entitled The Family, explained to Maury Terry, author of The Ultimate Evil (p.599): “There were so many investigations going on out there after the (Tate-LaBianca) murders that I began to wonder if the Process (The Process Church of the Final Judgment) was a front for some intelligence operation.” As Richard Spence adds in his book detailing British spy Aleister Crowley’s own extensive Intelligence associations, Secret Agent 666 838

p.262: “Such connections…fed broader speculation that the Solar Lodge (of the OTO), the Mansonites, and groups such as the weird Process Church of the Final Judgment were all parts of a nefarious mind-control experiment run by the CIA or other spooks.” Most indubitably they were, or more to the point they represented a collaborative effort by British and American Intelligence networks. And it would seem it all fell under the auspices of MKULTRA. Indeed, the Church of Satan in which Kenneth Anger was a member also included various members from U.S. Military Intelligence. As author Maury Terry relates: “(Ed) Sanders said that the FBI, Israeli intelligence, the California Beverage Control Board, the Los Angeles DA’s office, as well as the LAPD and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, all mounted probes of the Tate murders, with the Treasury Department involved peripherally. And those were the ones he knew about.” Donald Cammell himself would eventually be suicided with a bullet to the brain, the calling card of the cult. As we go chasing rabbits, our tale gets ever more weird the deeper down the rabbit hole we go—in a bid to uncover and understand these goings on a note must be made at this time concerning the International City of Tangier: “Tangier has been reputed as a safe house for international spying activities. Its position during the Cold War and other spying periods of the 19th and 20th centuries is legendary. Tangier acquired the reputation of a spying and smuggling centre (particularly for the Asian opium trade as a gateway to the West which explains Tangier resident Paul Bowles’ Chiengmai, Thailand trip under the pretext of research for a novel as: “It is estimated,” as Paul Bowles’ himself notes, “that 75 percent of the world’s commercial raw opium passes through Chiengmai” [See Without Stopping p.361] and this trip coming at a time when many of Paul Bowles’ friends and associates were known to have been members of the CIA-associated Brotherhood of Eternal Love drug smuggling network of which no doubt he was himself a part) and attracted foreign capital due to political neutrality and commercial liberty at that time… The multicultural placement of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities and the foreign immigrants attracted writers like Paul Bowles** (Paul Bowles, the son of a spiritualist Unitarian minister, had been a member of the Gertrude Stein literary and artistic circle in France during the early 1930s and was known for his later creative collaborations with Orson Welles and Tennessee Williams), William S. Burroughs (Burroughs resided in Tangier for four years, returning often thereafter), Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Tennessee Williams, Brion Gysin (author of The Process and owner of The 1001 Nights restaurant in Tangiers where the Master Musicians of Jajouka performed nightly [or more to the point plied their magic on a daily basis]; Brion Gysin was a good friend of John Starr Cooke and Paul Bowles) and the music group the Rolling Stones (as well as ’60s counterculture stalwarts Timothy Leary, Michael Bowen, John Star Cooke and Beatnik poet Harold Norse), who all lived in or visited Tangier during different periods of the 20th century (John Star Cooke’s own forebears were “ardent Theosophists, followers of Madame Blavatsky and Annie Besant, in close contact with Swami Vivekananda [Swami Vivekananda’s lectures helped popularize Vedanta Hinduism in the Western world—Swami Vivekanda was at one point in time a friend as well as long time house guest of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master S.L. Macgregor Mather’s friend, Henri Antoine Jules-Bois] and [Jiddu] Krishnamurti”)… In the 1940s and until 1956 when the city was an International Zone, the city served as a playground for eccentric millionaires, a meeting place for secret agents (as you can see, some things 839

never change as all of the aforementioned individuals are Intelligence spies or Intelligence assets with an Illuminati bent and were as well it would also seem involved with drugs and drug smuggling [for examples see Memoirs of a Bastard Angel by Harold Norse and Life by Keith Richards]) and all kinds of crooks, and a mecca for speculators and gamblers, an Eldorado for the fun-loving "Haute Volée." During World War II the Office of Strategic Services (the OSS, the forerunner of the CIA) operated out of Tangier for various operations in North Africa (and which no doubt retained an extensive Intelligence presence therein thereafter).” – Wikipedia: Tangier (** Paul Bowles was fairly central to the entire Tangier magic scene which he had first visited in the early 1930s and to which city he would later make his home in 1947 A.D.: “While Bowles was now concentrating on his career as a writer [or, rather, was using this pursuit as a cover for his spying/subversive activities], he composed incidental music for nine plays presented by the American School of Tangier. The Bowleses became fixtures of the American and European expatriate scene in Tangier [Paul Bowles was married to Jewish American playwright Jane Auer, a Long Island/Greenwich Village native who had attended school in the OSS/OTO bastion of Switzerland]. Visitors [to Paul Bowles’ Tangier apartment] included Truman Capote, [Marlon Brando’s friend] Tennessee Williams [Marlon Brando starred in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire both in the Broadway play (1947 – 1949) and later in the 1951 A.D. Warner Bros.© film] and Gore Vidal [Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy’s step-brother Gore Vidal was famous for his torrid love affair with the sexually promiscuous Anais Nin]. The Beat writers Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Gregory Corso followed in the mid-1950s and early 1960s. In 1951, Bowles was introduced to the Master Musicians of Jajouka, having first heard the musicians when he and Brion Gysin attended a festival or moussem at Sidi Kacem (Paul Bowles in fact spent much of the 1950s in the employ of the Library of Congress as an ethnomusicologist gathering anthropological-type data for inclusion in its collection, and as this music is itself Shamanic in its genesis, likely he was working under MKULTRA auspices gathering magical/anthropological information). Bowles’ ongoing and continued association with the [Sufi trance magicians] Master Musicians of Jajouka and their hereditary leader Bachir Attar is described in Paul Bowles’ book, a diary entitled Days: A Tangier Journal [a later 1992 A.D. release].” - Wikipedia: Paul Bowles. Norman Mailer in his book Advertisements of Myself [1959 A.D.] would pen the following prescient notion that may well be used to eulogize the entire 1960s counter culture scene: “Paul Bowles opened the world of Hip. He let in the murder, the drugs, the incest, the death of the Square, the call of the orgy, the end of civilization.” Paul Bowles’ aunt Mary Holden was a Spiritualist known for holding daily group Spiritualist séances in the Meditation Room of her home in Holden Hall [envisioned by her husband Dr. Fox Holden as a “Spiritualist center for western New York state… After the death of Dr. Holden, Spiritualism (their version being based upon Hindu mysticism oweing to their Theosophical Society connections) was replaced in the house by Transcendentalism.” Transcendentalism is the Spiritualist doctrine of the Unitarian church as taught at Harvard Divinity School. Paul Bowles’ father was a Unitarian minister whose “closest friend was Walter Benjamin” (Ibid p.51), an Ashkenazi Jew (and associate of Bertold Brecht) who was himself a ‘close friend’ of Jewish Kabalist scholar Gershom Scholem, the first Professor of Jewish Mysticism at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (the First Board of Governors of which included Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Martin Buber and Chaim Weizmann) who had emigrated to British Mandate Palestine (of which Jerusalem was the capitol at that time) in 1923 A.D. Gershom Scholem was a friend of Stella Matutina-member Evelyn Underhill (See Preface to the Third Edition of The Gnostic Religion: The Message of the Alien God & the Beginnings of Christianity authored by yet another of Gershom Sholem’s friends, WWII British army vet Hans Jonas who would serve as Professor of Philosophy at the CIA-associated New School for Social Research in New York City from 1955 – 1976 A.D. Hans Jonas had been one of the prime beneficiaries of the preWWII German-Jewish relocation efforts of Harvard University graduate Varian Fry)] who had 840

personally known Theosophical Society-founder/Carbonari-member Madame Blavatsky [See pp.62-63 of Bowles’ autobiography, Without Stopping**]. Paul Bowles’ great-grandfather [of the Winnewisser family] was a revolutionary in the Carbonari’s Young Germany Youth Movement group who had arrived in America in 1848 A.D. [Ibid p.57; Tangier itself had been the exile home to Carbonari-member/Italian revolutionary Garibaldi from 1849 – 1850 A.D.; Tangier had been an English possession since 1662 A.D., it being a wedding dowry received by the British King Charles II, the original patron of the Royal Society]. One of Paul Bowles’ most notable British forebears of course includes Royal Navy officer William Bowles, husband of Frances Temple, sister of the then British Secretary at War, the Carbonariassociated Illuminus Lord Palmerston [Palmerston was the father of the Youth Movement headed by Giusseppe Mazzini, a close associate of Geribaldi] who would eventually become British Prime Minister. Another extremely notable branch on the Bowles’ family tree is Confederate sympathizer William A. Bowles, one of the leaders of the Carbonari-affilliated Knights of the Golden Circle [alleged members of which included Carbonari-member John Wilkes Booth who would himself assassinate U.S. President Abraham Lincoln], the secret society which would play such an important role in the arming of the Confederacy in the runup to America’s Civil War. It was in 1968 A.D. [the year Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated] at the invitation of his friend Oliver Evans that Paul Bowles would spend a semester as a teacher in the English Department of San Fernando Valley State College [now California State University, Northridge (whose notable alumni include The Doors drummer John Densmore); see p.368 Without Stopping]) (Paul Bowles himself as he points out in Without Stopping, had previously been a part of the Gertrude Stein Parisian circle who during his stay in Europe would later reside in Berlin with the Aleister Crowley-associated occultist Christopher Isherwood and with Isherwood’s magical friend Stephen Spender [Stephen Spender was himself an associate of Aleister Crowley’s associate W.B. Yeats, a one-time Grand Master of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]. Of this episode Paul Bowles writes: “I soon found that Isherwood with Spender was a very different person than Spender by himself. Together they were overwhelmingly British, two members of a secret society [which secret society being the OTO; Bowles’ own homosexual ‘sexual initiation’ into the OTO order via his uncle in France is cryptically related on p.93 of his book] constantly making references to esoteric data not available to outsiders.” – Ibid p.110. Later during this very same European trip, Paul Bowles would make his acquaintance with J. Krishnamurti at Castle Eerde [Ibid p.112; no doubt he had also made the aquaintence of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant at this time as well as the pair were virtually inseparable]. On Gertrude Stein’s promptings Paul Bowles would then relocate to the spy-infested city of Tangier (to which city she was herself a repeated visitor) located in Northern Africa [Ibid p.123]. This was what amounted to Paul Bowles’ own [Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO sponsored] Grand magical mystery Tour [during which travels he also visited the Illuminati bastion of Bavaria], going no place at all without formal letters of introduction. During World War II Paul Bowles lived in New York City in a communal-type living arrangement [known as the February House in Brooklyn, home to the Brooklyn Navy Yard (where was employed Harold Norse, a friend of W.H. Auden who later spent time with Bowles in Tangiers) policed against acts of sabotage by mafioso via the Navy’s Operation Underground during WWII] along with his distant cousin Owen Smith [by profession a set designer, this likely serving as a cover for his covert Intelligence activities] and OSS officer Golo Mann and run by counter-intelligence czar James Angleton’s friend, the poet/spy W.H. Auden [Ibid p.233 (Paul Bowles and co. provide yet another example of theatrical enterprises fronting for secret Intelligence operations); during this time in 1942 A.D. Paul Bowles dined regularly at the apartment of John Cage** (Ibid p.249), John Cage being a good friend of Ernst Max and his wife Peggy Guggenheim with whom Paul Bowles himself had shared a mutual friendship and from whom Paul Bowles had procured a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1941 A.D. (W.H. Auden himself would become such a recipient in 1942 A.D. Paul Bowles’ friend, the Harvard University-educated Beatnik poet Alan Ansen, a close associate of Allan 841

Ginsberg, served as the personal ‘secretary’ of W.H. Auden. Alan Ansen was notably enough a friend of the Spiritualist medium/automatist writer James Merrill [whose friends included Maya Deren, an associate of OTO/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger], the son of a Merrill Lynch brokerage founder for which firm Church of Satan-member/Temple of Setfounder Michael A. Aquino, an Army Intelligence officer, is a former employee [See The Church of Satan by Michael A. Aquino])]. One gets an idea of an associated group the entirety of which presents the image of a massive Intelligence network and this of an Illuminati nature and intricately tied to the Ordo Templi Orientis, aka the OTO [as well as the associated Theosophical Society and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its offshoots including the Stella Matutina. And Paul Bowles was no mere “onlooker at the scene” as he takes great care to note, but was instead the “principal protagonist” (Ibid p.367)]. Paul Bowles’ autobiography cryptically ends on the following ominous note [insert creepy spinetingling music here]: “…I relish the idea that in the night, all around me in my sleep, sorcery is burrowing its invisible tunnels in every direction, from thousands of senders to thousands of unsuspecting recipients. Spells are being cast, poison is running its course; souls are being dispossessed of parasitic pseudo-consciousness that lurk in the unguarded recesses of the mind…” [Ibid p.366. Cue demonic laugh (Pertinent Quote: “…on the North Coast of Africa…there are ‘Watch Towers’ whose aim is to spread darkness and horror in the world. These centres are sinks of iniquity; constantly holding [black magic] ceremonies and performing sacrifices with the object of augmenting the spirit of dissension and warfare among the nations, and of increasing suffering and moral depravity in the world.” – The Black Art by Rollo Ahmed). William Seabrook in his book Adventures in Arabia (1927 A.D.) likewise described the existence of similar structures: “Stretching across Asia, from Northern Manchuria, through Tibet, west through Persia, and ending in the Kurdistan, was a chain of seven towers, on isolated mountaintops; and in each of these towers sat continually a Priest of Satan, who by ‘broadcasting’ occult vibrations (ELFs) controlled the destinies of the world for evil.”]. At any rate, as evidenced by his autobiography, wherever Paul Bowles would go (including San Fernando State College in 1968 A.D. while he was serving as a teacher there), riots and revolutions and assorted anarchic mayhem and various political unrests would follow in his wake (this was true of the Beatniks as well, as evidenced by the Beatnik riot staged in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village Washington Square Park [home to NYU] in 1961 A.D.). The Bowles family itself is related to the Churchill and Cavendish families through one Sydney Bowles (1880 – 1963 A.D.), daughter of Thomas Gibson Bowles and matriarch of the infamous Mitford family [which family included seven daughters, two daughters of whom were known for their close ties with Adolf Hitler (they were members of the British Union of Fascists who had attended Hitler’s Nuremburg Rally. The Mitford girls’ grandfather, Algernon Freeman-Mitford [he served as British ambassador to pre-WWII Japan] had been a friend of Hitler-ally Richard Wagner), two other Mitford daughters marrying nephews of British Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and Harold Macmillan. Another Mitford sister, Diana, was married to Sir Oswald Mosely (leader of the British Union of Fascists, Mosley was a close associate of Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini), a one-time member of British P.M. Ramsey MacDonald’s Labour cabinet; Sir Oswald Moseley’s close associates included Aleister Crowley’s right hand man J.F.C. Fuller, Fuller being a leading member of Mosley’s British Union of Fascists. Yet another Mitford daughter was married to British poet Edward James, a patron of the Surrealist art movement centered upon Gertrude Stein and Peggy Guggenheim. Another was married to Bryan Guinness whose own wealthy father was a friend and political ally of Winston Churchill. Another was married to Esmond Romilly (son of the governor of Gallilee during the British Mandate of Palestine), himself a friend of Philip Toynbee (son of British spymaster Arthur J. Toynbee and grandson of Gilbert Murray, Murray being a ‘friend’ of British spy master H.G. Wells [such friendships cloaked Intelligence connections]. Gilbert Murray’s associates included J.M. Barrie and George Bernard Shaw, all of whom with Murray had served in the British Intelligence’s ‘War Propaganda Bureau’) and would later reside in the United States where she was involved as a civil rights activist, 842

perchance as a spy/agent provocateur]. Thomas Gibson Bowles was himself the bastard son of Thomas Milner Gibson [and his lowly servant girl Susannah Bowles], a leading member in the cabinet of the government of the Illuminus father of the Youth Movement itself, British P.M. Lord Palmerston. Thomas Gibson Bowles had even attended the same school as Young England Youth Movement leader and later British P.M. Benjamin Disraeli (one Mitford family forebare of note was the paternal grandfather of the Mitford sisters themselves, Algernon Freeman-Mitford, 1st Baron Redesdale [to whom Bertrand Russell, a man with extensive ties to various members of the British Intelligence services, is also related], an official in the administration of Young England British P.M. Benjamin Disraeli). The Illuminati/Carbonari has indeed through its Young America Youth Movement group members and their Anglophilic Harvard University associates within the CIA wrested control of this country from the hands of clueless citizens. And now they [including Harvard grad/U.S. President Barack Obama] are trying to take your guns away through gun control legislation. Beware of Boston-based ‘false flag’ operations) (** John Cage would go on to teach at The New School for Social Research. John Cage’s homosexual life partner [from 1944 - 1992], Merce Cunningham,*** would form The Merce Cunningham Dance Company at Black Mountain College in 1953 A.D. Note this New School-Black Mountain College association. The Merce Cunningham Dance Company [for which Robert Rauschenberg served as stage manager] would work in association with many artists including Andy Warhol, an associate of Hollywood actor Dennis Hopper whose father Jay Hopper had been a member of the American lodge of British spy Aleister Crowley’s Carbonari-associated OTO magic group. John Cage himself was a friend of Joseph Campbell who took part in CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s MKULTRA experiments. Additionally, John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg are known to have performed together at the CIA-associated Esalen Institute where Joseph Campbell had served as a scholar in residence. British spymaster Arthur J. Toynbee was a lecturer at Esalen Institute as well) (***Merce Cunningham got his start in the Martha Graham Dance Company [founded 1926 A.D.], the oldest dance company in America. Martha Graham was a close associate of that patroness of the arts Baroness Bethsabée de Rothschild, a member of the Rothschild banking family and great-great granddaughter of Illuminati-founder Mayer Amschel Rothschild. The Illuminati/Carbonari-founded university NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts [founded in 1965 A.D.] feeds a number of its ‘advanced’ students to the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, to the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute and to the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, organizations which in turn provide NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts with its instructors. One of the Tisch School’s latest directors of dance was former Martha Graham Dance Company dancer Linda Tarnay [this being due to the fact that the Bethsabée de Rothschild Foundation for the Arts and Sciences was headed up by American composer Vivian Fine, a Guggenheim Fellowhip award winning friend of Henry Cowell and Dane Rudyar and a member of Guggenheim Fellowhip award winning composer Aaron Copland’s Young Composers Group. Aaron Copland worked closely with Lee Strasberg’s and Stella Adler’s Group Theater group]. As we learn from the American Zionist Movement website: “Bethsabee de Rothschild (1914-1999) was born to one of the more well known philanthropic families in Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries. Shortly after her birth in London her family moved to Paris [where her father Edouard de Rothschild ran the French Rothschild bank, this being during the period when the members of the Lost Generation were gathered there in Paris, France]. Rothschild graduated from the Sorbonne with a bachelor’s degree in biology. When she was 26 her family moved to New York [fleeing headlong from the German occupation of France in 1940 A.D.] where she began studying chemistry [read: alchemy] at Columbia University [the CIA-associated New School of Social Research is closely associated with Columbia University] however with the onset of the Second World War her life took another path when she decided to join the Free French Movement [the Free French Movement was headed by Charles de Gaulle, was based in London and worked with British P.M. Winston Churchill’s SOE Intelligence organization]. During the war [WWII] Rothschild worked as a liaison between the 843

French and US military forces [read: she worked as a liaison between the Free French Movement (which worked in partnership with Churchill’s SOE in which served a number of spies who were members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn along with British spymaster Arthur J. Toynbee and Ian Flemming, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO-member/British spy Aleister Crowley’s case officer during WWII) and the OSS (“During World War II, Bethsabée joined the Free French Movement at its office in New York and volunteered for its armed forces. Assigned to London, she landed in Normandy during the Allied invasion, eventually reaching Paris, where she served as liaison between the French and the United States military forces.” – Jewish Woman’s Archive)]. After the war she moved back to the United States and enrolled in Martha Graham’s School of Dance** where she worked as Graham’s producer [with whom she shared a close ‘friendship’]. In 1962 she moved to Israel [where she worked as a major sponsor/promoter of the dancing arts, even later establishing the Israel Dance Therapy Center there in 1985 A.D.].”) (**The first dancer to dance with Martha Graham at Martha Graham’s School of Dance was dancer/choreographer Erick Hawkins known for his collaborations with New School for Social Research instructor Henry Cowell [Cowell being a friend of Theosophical Society-member Dane Rudyar as well as an associate of OTO-member/Hotel Chelsea resident Harry Smith] and Hotel Chelsea resident/homosexual author Virgil Thompson, a Harvard University alumni and former member of Gertrude Stein’s Parisian circle (Virgil Thompson was co-creator with Gertrude Stein in 1934 A.D. of Four Saints in Three Acts, the longestrunning opera in Broadway history. For more information see Prepare for Saints: Gertrude Stein, Virgil Thompson and the Mainstreaming of American Mondernism by Steve Watson. As we learn from its publisher Random House: “Four Saints was proclaimed the birth of a new art form… Everything about it was revolution-ary: Stein's abstract text and Thomson's homespun music, the all-black cast… Four Saints [directed by John Houseman (head of the overseas radio division of the Office of War Information [OWI] during WWII): “…known for his highly publicized collaboration with director Orson Welles from their days in the Federal Theatre Project through to the production of Citizen Kane” – Wikipedia: John Houseman] was the first popular modernist production. It brought modernism, with all its flamboyant outrage against convention, into the mainstream.”)]) (FDR’s grandson Franklin Delano Roosevelt III would also receive his PhD from The New School for Social Research) (“Working through the Wall Street firms of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and J.P. Morgan Co., the Rothschilds financed John D. Rockefeller so that he could create the Standard Oil empire… Railroad magnate Edward Harriman and steel industrialist Andrew Carnegie also received funding from the Rothschilds.” – p.355-356 Our Oculted History by Jim Marrs. It was Standard Oil where CIA head Alan Dulles was employed)

Concerning Broadway/Hollywood actor Marlon Brando, star of the critically acclaimed film celebration of all things Mafia entitled The Godfather: “Marlon Brando was born in Omaha, Nebraska, to Marlon Brando, Sr., a pesticide (read: poison) and (al)chemical feed manufacturer, and his wife, Dorothy Julia (née Pennebaker). His parents moved to Evanston, Illinois (12 miles north of downtown Chicago, Evanston is home to Northwestern University [notable alumni include actor Warren Beatty and the CIA-associated parapsychologist Andrija Puharich (class of 1947 A.D.)] where from 1944 - 1950 Alan Watts had served as an Episcopalian chaplain before totally reinventing himself as a Buddhist guru and moving to San Francisco. Filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker [creator of OTO-member Harry Smith’s friend Bob Dylan’s 1967 A.D. documentary film Dont Look Back, D.A. Pennebaker is known as the “pre-eminent chronicler of sixties counterculture.”] hails from Evanston as well and no doubt relates to Marlon Brando’s mother), but separated when he was eleven years old. His mother took her three children: Jocelyn (1919– 844

2005), Frances (1922–1994) and Marlon, to live with her mother in Santa Ana, California… Brando’s ancestry included German, Dutch, English, and Irish. His patrilineal ancestor, Johann Wilhelm Brandau, was a German immigrant (from the German Palatinate) to New York in the early 1700s. Brando was raised a Christian Scientist (Christian Science due to its faith healing practices was also a favorite MKULTRA topic of study)… Marlon Brando, Sr., was a talented amateur photographer. His wife, known as Dodie, was unconventional but talented, having been an actress. She smoked, wore trousers, and drove cars, unusual for women at the time (crazily enough, however, traditionally, many witches including Joan of Arc adhered to a quirky habit of wearing men’s clothing. As Doreen Valiente notes in An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present: “…transvestism [cross-dressing] was condemned by the Christian Church, which associated it with witchcraft.” Transvestism is also common amongst the gay community. Just sayin’). However, she was an alcoholic and often had to be brought home from Chicago bars by her husband; she finally joined Alcoholics Anonymous (where we find the Spiritist Bill Wilson, she becoming a leader within this organization). Dodie Brando (a friend of Henry Fonda’s mother, Elma Fonda) acted and was a theater administrator. She helped Henry Fonda (who would serve as a U.S. Navy Intelligence officer during World War II) to begin his acting career (Henry Fonda’s premier Broadway performance was in the 1934 A.D. Broadway play The Farmer Takes a Wife [Henry Fonda also appears in Victor Fleming’s 1935 film-version of this play marking his first Hollywood performance] in a theater which in 1945 A.D. would be bought by Gaiety Theater** owner Robert W. Dowling [**with which theater was associated numerous members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]), and fueled her son Marlon’s interest in stage acting (Marlon Brando would go on to study theater at The New School for Social Research in New York in 1943 A.D. under Erwin Piscator, a friend of Hollywood Hellfire Club-member Ben Hecht). However, Brando was closer to his maternal grandmother, Bessie Gahan Pennebaker Meyers, than to his mother (they no doubt being related to the Evanston-born filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker who likewise connects to many of the indivduals in our story). Widowed while young, Meyers worked as a secretary and later as a Christian Science practitioner (Dion Fortune’s own mother was also a Christian Science registered healer). Her father, Myles Gahan (a name commonly Anglicized as Wynne [think: Keenan Wynne]), was a doctor from Ireland; her mother, Julia Watts (possibly related to Alan Watts), was from England… In Songs My Mother Taught Me, Brando claimed he met Marilyn Monroe at a party where she played piano, unnoticed by anybody else there, and they had an affair and maintained an intermittent relationship for many years, receiving a telephone call from her several days before she died… In 1946, Brando showed his dedication to the Jewish desire for a homeland by performing in Ben Hecht’s Zionist play ‘A Flag is Born’ (no doubt oweing to Ben Hecht’s association with Marlon Brando’s teacher Erwin Piscator, the same Ben Hecht as you’ll remember who was an associate of Youth Movement leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky’s friend Hillell Kook). Brando’s involvement had an impact on three of the most contentious issues of the early postwar period: the fight to establish a Jewish state, the smuggling of Holocaust survivors to Israel, and the battle against racial segregation in the United States… Brando attended some fundraisers for John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election. In August 1963 (after agent of influence Roger Corman helped fan Civil Rights flames with his release of the KKK-inspired 845

1962 A.D. cross burning-film, The Intruder [distributed by Pathé-America Distribution Company], starring William Shatner), Brando participated in the March on Washington along with fellow celebrities Harry Belafonte, James Garner, Charlton Heston, Burt Lancaster (Burt Lancaster was a partner in the Hecht Hill Lancaster production company whose stable of film directors included Americanborn spy/British Ministry of Information propaganda filmmaker/Psychological Warfare Division officer/Ealing Studios director Alexander Mackendrick), and Sidney Poitier. Brando also, along with Paul Newman, participated in the freedom rides (“Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who rode interstate buses into the segregated southern United States to test the United States Supreme Court [segregationist] decisions Boynton v. Virginia (1960) and Morgan v. Virginia.” Wikipedia).” – Wikipedia: Marlon Brando. Marlos Brando’s sister Jocelyn Brando was an actress as well. The two would appear together in the 1966 A.D. film The Chase [directed by the Black Mountain College-educated Hollywood director Arthur Penn] along with Henry Fonda’s daughter Jane Fonda (who like OTO-member Jack Parsons [head of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodge] was a Samson De Brier magic salon attendee) and English actor James Fox [James Fox stars in Marlon Brando’s friend Donald Cammell’s film Performance starring Mick Jagger. Donald Cammell’s father was a friend of Aleister Crowley]. James Fox’s brother, Rank Organization actor Edward Fox, appears in Warner Bros©’s The Naked Runner [1967 A.D.] with Frank Sinatra [during the filming of which Frank Sinatra flew to Las Vegas to marry Mia Farrow] and in the Rank Organization film I'll Never Forget What's'isname [1967 A.D.] with Mick Jagger’s girlfriend Marianne Faithfull. Their father, theatrical agent Robin Fox was married to the daughter of English dramatist Frederick Lonsdale whose works were produced by Frank Curzon, a former member of Frank Benson’s touring company. Frank Benson was a former actor from Sir Henry Irving’s Lyceum Theatre for which Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Bram Stoker served as business manager. Sir Henry Irving was a cousin of Welsh poet W.H. Davies who was a friend of ceremonial magician Austin Osmon Spare—Spare himself was a member of Aleister Crowley’s A.:A.: magic order. As we learn from Wikipedia concerning the Civil Rights Movement: “Many in the Jewish community supported the Civil Rights Movement. In fact, statistically Jews were one of the most actively involved non-black groups in the Movement…Jews made up roughly half of the white northern volunteers involved in the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer project and approximately half of the civil rights attorneys active in the South during the 1960s. Jewish leaders were arrested while heeding a call from Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in St. Augustine, Florida, in June 1964, where the largest mass arrest of rabbis in American history took place at the Monson Motor Lodge…Abraham Joshua Heschel, a writer, rabbi and professor of theology at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York was outspoken on the subject of civil rights. He marched arm-in-arm with Dr. King in the 1965 March on Selma. In the Mississippi Burning murders of 1964, the two white activists killed, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, were both Jewish…The American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, and AntiDefamation League actively promoted civil rights.” – Wikipedia: African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968). Indeed: “From the beginning of the Civil 846

Rights Movement, Blacks and Jews marched arm-in-arm. In 1909, W.E.B. Dubois, Julius Rosenthal, Lillian Wald, Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, (Rabbi) Stephen Wise (principal spokeman for Zionism in America) and Henry Malkewitz formed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). One year later other prominent Jewish and Black leaders created the Urban League. Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington worked together in 1912 to improve the educational system for Blacks in the South…About 50 percent of the civil rights attorneys in the South during the 1960s were Jews…” - PBS Documentary: From Swastika to Jim Crow. Even the Jewish physicist Albert Einstein was himself a member of the Princeton chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and as such communicated with NAACP co-founder W.E.B. Du Bois who had been one of William James’s students at Harvard University. Du Bois had been a member of the three-person delegation from the NAACP that attended the 1945 A.D. conference in San Francisco in California at which time the renowned United Nations was intially established.** However, the creation of the Black Pathers revolutionary group (possibly by design? COINTELPRO?) served to drive a wedge between the historically close Jewish and African-American relationship as they began to target even the Jews. In fact: “With black militancy on the rise, ghetto residents directed acts of anger at the police. Black residents growing tired of police brutality continued to riot. Some young people joined groups such as the Black Panthers, whose popularity was based in part on their reputation for confronting police officers. Riots (including the L.A. Watts Riots) among blacks occurred in 1966 and 1967 in (some 125) cities such as Atlanta, San Francisco, Oakland, Baltimore, Seattle, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Newark, Chicago, New York City (specifically in Brooklyn, Harlem and the Bronx), and worst of all in Detroit.” – Wikipedia: African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968). Such racial violence gave rise to ‘white flight’ from cities as Caucasians saught the safety of the salubrious suburbs. One case in point is the ‘white flight’ from the city of San Francisco to neighboring suburban North Beach resulting in the Beatnik/Hippie odyssey into San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. (**Another participant in the 1945 A.D. San Francisco conference which drafted the United Nations charter was Claiborne Pell [1918 –2009 A.D.] who would later become a United States Senator from Rhode Island [1961 – 1997 A.D.]: “Perhaps the most avid, some would say fanatical, New Agers in Congress [circa 1991 A.D.], Pell, a Democrat from Rhode Island, is chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee [during the Presidency of George H.W. Bush]. He is a vocal advocate of psychic research and according to U.S. News & World Report, his bookcase in his private capitol office is crammed with occult books such as The Astral Body, which examines out-of-body experiences. Pell, who admits he frequents spirit mediums, has befriended such New Age notables as psychic magician Uri Geller and the late Theosophy/Hindu philosopher Krishnamurti, who once was thought to be the New Age ‘christ.’” – UFO End-Time Delusion by Lewis/Shreckhise, 1991 A.D. The number of occultists involved in the creation of the United Nations is nothing short of amazing—and equally startling. Concerning congressman Pell’s friend Uri Geller: “Uri Geller, the Israeli psychic, says he is in communication with ‘space intelligences.’” - UFOs: What on Earth is Happening by Weldon/Levitt 1975 A.D.) 847

From various Wikipedia selections we learn that: “The Revolutionary Youth Movement…section of Students for a Democratic Society…Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was a (an allegedly CIA-funded) student activist movement in the United States that was one of the main iconic representations of the country’s New Left. The organization developed and expanded rapidly in the mid1960s before dissolving at its last convention in 1969. A faction of SDS formed the Weather Underground,** identified by the FBI as a ‘domestic terrorist group.’ …Following (CIA psychiatrist) Timothy Leary’s Weather Underground assisted prison escape, Leary stayed with (African-American Civil Rights leader Eldridge) Cleaver in Algeria (in Northern Africa)... Cleaver was a prominent member of the Black Panthers (the SDS was a group affiliated with the Black Panthers), having the titles Minister of Information, and Head of the International Section of the Panthers while in exile in Cuba and Algeria.” Needless to say there was something quite amiss in the realm of La La Land: “In September 1970, the (Weather Underground) group took a $20,000 payment from a psychedelics distribution organization called The Brotherhood of Eternal Love to break LSD advocate Timothy Leary out of prison (concerning this episode Gary Lachman writes: “The money for the escape had been put up by the psychedelic mafia, the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, with whom Leary had often dropped acid on their Idylwild Ranch near Palm Springs, scanning the skies for UFOs.” – p.191 Turn Off Your Mind). Leary joined Eldridge Cleaver in Algeria (in North Africa near Tangier)” (according to the authors of Raven: The Untold Story of Reverend Jim Jones and His People, Jim Jones visited Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton in Havana, Cuba during the late 1970s. It is said Jones was a CIA asset, and presumably, Huey P. Newton was one as well; Timothy Leary most definitely was. Birds of a CIA feather do in fact flock so often all together) – Wikipedia: Weather Underground. (It was the Weather Underground which would break CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary out of Jail. Weather Underground-founder Bill Ayers was a former SDS member (the Weather Underground was founded in 1969 A.D. as an offshoot faction of the SDS which in turn was affiliated with the Black Panthers). As a testament to the fact the devil is always in the details, Weather Underground-founder Bill Ayers’ father Thomas G. Ayers was president (1964–1980 A.D.), CEO and chairman (1973–1980) of the Commonwealth Edison corporation (at its founding as the Chicago Edison Company, Commonwealth Edison was an offshoot of Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison’s electric company. Amongst the owners of this franchise was Robert Todd Lincoln, the eldest son of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln). The SDS itself was an offshoot of the League for Industrial Democracy (a Socialist student activist organization formerly known as the Intercollegiate Socialist Society whereupon it simply changed its name to the League for Industrial Democracy due to the negative Communist connotations of the name. League for Industrial Democracy members include New School of Social Research co-founder John Dewey, an associate of Professor William James of Harvard College [whose own mentor was Fabian Society-member/Yale Skull and Bones-founding member/UCBerkeley president/first president of Johns Hopkins University (founded by John Hopkins, a Quaker supporter of Abraham Lincoln who worked closely with abolitionists Myrtilla Miner [founder of a school catering to African-Americans] and Henry Ward Beecher [brother of abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe], a friend of phrenologist Orson Squire Fowler who was a ‘good friend’ of Walt Whitman who in turn was a good 848

friend of Fabian Society-founder Edward Carpenter) Daniel Coit Gilman (it was Daniel Coit Gilman, a Fabian Society-member, who co-founded the Russell Trust Association,*** aka the Yale Skull and Bones secret society. It is important to note a Fabian Society-member was involved in the foundation of the Yale Skull and Bones organization, marking it as nothing more than a branch of the Fabian Society itself. The Fabian Society was composed of Theosophical Society members and members of its magic-practicing inner-circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), a member of John D. Rockefeller’s General Education Board (founded in 1902 A.D.) which in 1960 A.D. would be subsumed into the Rockefeller Foundation which acted as a conduit for CIA/MKULTRA funds. The Fabian Society’s London School of Economics was a major benefactor of Rockefeller Foundation funds/grants], Hubert H. Humphrey [a former Roosevelt New Deal WPA supervisor who had worked on FDR’s reelection campaign in 1944 A.D. who would serve as hand-picked V.P. under President Lyndon B. Johnson] and FDR’s wife Eleanor Roosevelt. Amongst the membership rolls of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society was American Fabian Society-members Stuart Chase and Walter Lippman [the American Fabian Society was founded in Boston, MA by U.S. Bureau of Labor investigator William Dwight Porter Bliss (Bliss, a labor party politician who had unsuccessfully run for the Lieutenant-Governorship of MA in 1887 A.D., was the author of The Encyclopedia for Social Reform). The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist/author Walter Lippman it is pertinent to note had joined the Fabian Society in England in 1909 A.D., he being a notable student of Harvard University professor/Theosophical Society-member William James who through the SPR/ASPR likewise associated with various individuals associated with Aleister Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]. The Intercollegiate Socialist Society was originally founded by Harry W. Laidler, a perennial American Labor Party politician who would serve as an American Labor Party New York City alderman in 1940 A.D. Thomas E. Dewey [who is, it would appear, related to John Dewey] was the successful 1937 A.D. American Labor Party nominee for New York District Attorney [and an unsuccessful Republican Party candidate for the presidency in 1944 and 1948. Thomas E. Dewey’s son Thomas E. Dewey, Jr. would enter the employ of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. upon graduation from Harvard Business School serving as a member of Kuhn, Loeb’s executive committee until his retirement in 1975 A.D.]. The American Labor Party [active 1934-1954 A.D. and modeled upon the Labour Party in Britain with which it was affiliated, the American Labor Party itself being an organization specifically designed to propel FDR to the presidency] would endorse Franklin Delano Roosevelt for the 1936, 1940, and 1944 A.D. presidential elections, endorsing FDR’s V.P./Theosophical Society-member Henry A. Wallace for the presidency in 1948 A.D. Upon FDR’s election to the presidency, Stuart Chase would go on to serve in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Brain Trust,” and Walter Lippman would serve as an ‘informal’ FDR presidential advisor). The Intercollegiate Socialist Society (active from 1905-1921 A.D.) was itself the brainchild of Jungle author Upton Sinclair whose main group of supporters included novelist/Theosophical Society-member Jack London, celebrity N.Y. attorney Clarence Darrow (Clarence Darrow was a leading member of the ACLU. The ACLU [whose members included U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis (a President Woodrow Wilson Supreme Court appointee who played a prominent role in Wilson’s decision to declare war on Germany during WWI), an associate of 849

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Samuel T. Untermyer] was cofounded by, amongst others [others including John Dewey and Upton Sinclair], Foreign Policy Association chairman Paul Underwood Kellogg [whose associates included Dorothy Parker and British Fabian Society members George Bernard Shaw and H.G. Welles, all individuals with American and British Intelligence associations]. The Foreign Policy Association, whose membership rolls included John Foster Dulles [brother of CIA head Allan Dulles] and Eleanor Roosevelt, was an organization directly connected with the British Fabian Society), and Harvard Divinity School-grad/militant Unitarian abolitionist minister Thomas Wentworth Higginson (Higginson had been commander of the 1st South Carolina Volunteers during the American Civil War, one of the very first federally authorized all AfricanAmerican regiments which was largely composed of escaped African slaves hailing from South Carolina). As we learn from Wikipedia: “T.W. Higginson married Mary Channing in 1847 after graduating from [Harvard] divinity school. Mary was the daughter of Dr. Walter Channing, a pioneer in the field of obstetrics and gynecology who taught at Harvard University, the niece of Unitarian minister William Ellery Channing, and the sister of Henry David Thoreau’s friend, Ellery Channing. Higginson and Mary Channing had no children but raised Margaret Fuller Channing, the eldest daughter of Ellen Fuller and Ellery Channing. Ellen was the sister of the Transcendentalist and feminist author, Margaret Fuller.” Margaret Fuller, of course, was a revolutionary follower of Carbonari-founder Giusseppe Mazzini. The article goes on to note: “Higginson was a fervent supporter of (militant abolitionist minister) John Brown and is remembered as one of the "Secret Six" abolitionists (a number of whose homes were stops on the Underground Railroad) who helped Brown raise money and procure supplies for his intended slave insurrection at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.” The Civil Rights movement in America was directly connected to these earlier Abolitionist ventures. America’s first [half] AfricanAmerican President Barack Obama’s own connections to Weather Undergroundfounder Bill Ayers [a friend of Digger founding-member Peter Coyote, an associate of OTO/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger and a friend of Dennis Hopper whose father Jay Hopper had been a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge], a later professor at the University of Chicago who would work with Chicago Mayor Bill Daley to reform Chicago’s school system, had rightly become somewhat of a political scandal during the 2008 A.D. presidential election. It is said Bill Ayers’ father Tom Ayers provided funds for Barack Obama’s college education. Barack Obama is a former community organizer associated with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now [ACORN] organization co-founded in 1970 A.D. by Students for a Democratic Society [SDS] member Wade Rathke. Wade Rathke ties to U.S. President Richard Nixon through Nixon’s friend/presidential counselor/Health, Education and Welfare Secretary Robert Finch [the 38th Lieutenant Governor of California serving under California Governor Ronald Reagan (whose Kuhn, Loeb-associated V.P. George H.W. Bush was a former CIA director)] through yet another organization with which Rathke was associated, the National Welfare Rights Organization [NWRO]. Barack Obama was directly connected as well to the UCBerkeley lawyer/activist Charles Halpern, founder of the NWRO-affiliated Demos organization. Halpern’s Center for Law and Social Policy organization has received its funding from the New World Foundation [on whose board sat Hillary Rodham Clinton from 1982-1988 A.D.] and the Ford Foundation850

affiliated Rockefeller Brothers Fund founded by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., son of Standard Oil owner John D. Rockefeller, Sr. [whose employees have included John Foster Dulles and CIA-head Allen Dulles]) (*** As we learn from Wikipedia: “From 1978 until his death in 1988, business of the [Yale Skull and Bones] Russell Trust Association was handled by its single trustee, Brown Brother’s Harriman & Co. partner John B. Madden. Madden started with Brown Brothers Harriman in 1946, under senior partner [Yale Skull and Bones member] Prescott Bush [father of U.S. president George H.W. Bush (former Vice-President under President Ronald Reagan), grandfather of U.S. president George W. Bush and political mentor to U.S. president Richard Nixon].” Through organizations such as these, nearly every president for the last 80 years links together in one quite magical Fabian Societylinked Youth Movement/Carbonari-constructed chain [and certainly all the others in some way or another connect to it as well, all the way back to pre-Abraham Lincoln days (before this time, they were all directly linked to the Illuminati itself which would later give birth to the Carbonari and its associated Youth Movement groups). This is what such affiliated individuals mean when they say ‘Continuity of Government’—thereby insuring the continuity of Illuminati/Carbonari rule in America]. And if as expected Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton runs against Republican Jeb Bush in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, such continuity is assured. And so it all goes round and round in a sadistically sinister manner in these Satanic States of America [For more information on America’s Satanic roots, see The Satanic States of America by John of the Gentiles]) Concerning The Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization: “The Brotherhood of Eternal Love were a spiritual, drug-based group (registered as a tax-exempt religious organization, it was originally organized as a church in Modjeska Canyon in Orange County ten days after LSD was criminalized in 1966 A.D.) whose foundations were established on the belief over the mind-altering benefits of the drug LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide). The group was composed of local surfers, drug users and affluent people from Orange County, Los Angeles and the Pasadena area, Saratoga and San Francisco. Most were vegetarians (as were Charles Manson and the members of the Manson Family). Many of them continued to practice their own version of Christianity (case in point: the beliefs of Charles Manson and the Manson Family which espoused an amalgamation of beliefs including magic, witchcraft, yoga, Christianity, Buddhism and Scientology) while opening research into Self Realization Paramahansa Yogananda Hinduism (which is to say, Yoga, including the teachings of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali/Azazel), Vajrayana Buddhism (in other words, these individuals were involved with what was known as the Self-Realization Fellowship [founded 1920 A.D.] which Temple founded by Paramahansa Yogananda is located at 4860 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA. The Altadena-born inner-circle Manson Family-member Leslie Van Houten had previously been involved with this group [See p.100 The Family by Ed Sanders], as had Mark Prophet [who was a Rosicrucian as well] and Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley [Elvis Presley himself appears in movies with Angela Lansbury whose daughter Didi was a member of the Manson Family]. Today there are over 600 such Self-Realization Fellowship temples [individually known as a Self-Realization Church of All Religions] specializing in Yoga [though 851

operating as Intelligence front organizations] in over 60 different countries. In September of 1968 A.D., Leslie Van Houten would move with her boyfriend Bobby Beausoleil [who like Elvis Presley’s actor friend Sammy Davis, Jr. was a member of the Church of Satan] to Spahn Movie Ranch to commune with Charles Manson. She was later convicted of having participated in the 1969 A.D. LaBianca murders [the LaBiancas resided next door to Manson’s friend Harold True (both sharing a mutual friend, Phil Kaufman)]), and other indigenous (Native American religions, including that of Don Works and the Shaman peyote-rituals of his Native American Church) or Eastern religions (such as those espoused by Timothy Leary). After the French Quarter Apartments and Modjeska Canyon church burnt down the group (The Brotherhood of Eternal Love) was headquartered in the Mystic Arts World bookstore (where Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert and various Hell’s Angels members were known to regularly congregate. See Orange Sunshine by Nicholas Schou) on Pacific Coast Highway (in Laguna Beach in Orange County, hence the name for their LSD, ‘Orange’ Sunshine) and The Aquarian Temple BEL (BEL=Brotherhood of Eternal Love) on Waller St. (aka the Devil House) in the Haight Ashbury San Francisco (“The Aquarian Temple BEL [a branch of the Brotherhood Of Eternal Love] in the Haight Ashbury funded the Diggers food fests, the renovation of the Straight Theater [one of whose directors was Luther Greene, nephew of the English actress Dame Judith Anderson (See p.236 The Haight-Ashbury: A History) who during the late 1930’s had starred in Old Vic Theater productions opposite British spy Sir Laurence Olivier, she being as well a friend of poet Robinson Jeffers], funded the Free Clinic [the Haight-Ashbury Medical Clinic set up by the Esalen Intitute-associated OSS psychiatrist Gregory Bateson which he staffed with among others LSD expert Dr. David E. Smith and Dr. Ernest Dernberg, an active-duty military officer also likely involved in MKULTRA studies [it was this free clinic which treated various Manson Family girls for STDs; Charles Manson’s parole officer Roger Smith also had an office in the building. Charles Manson and his commune was also the focus of a psychiatric study by Al Rose, the administrator of the medical section of the HaightAshbury Free Clinic who even resided with Charles Manson at his Spahn Ranch commune for a time and whose own findings appear in The Group Marriage Communiqué Study published in Dr. David E. Smith’s Journal of Psychedlic Drugs (See the documentary Charles Manson: The Man who Killed the Sixties). Both Abigail Folger (who like Charles Manson and Gregory Bateson also had Esalen Institute associations) and her mother did volunteer work for the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic], Gay Press, was on police community relations in the Haight Ashbury and distributed LSD for Owsley and the Orange Sunshine (brand of LSD) for BEL (the Brotherhood of Eternal Love), free at most concerts and love ins.” – Wikipedia. According to a press release published by Counterpoint for founding Digger member Peter Coyote’s (real name Peter Cohon, an army veteran and a friend of Dennis Hopper no less!) book entitled Sleeping Where I Fall we learn: “Out of the Sixties counterculture explosion came a radical street group called the Diggers who became the heart and soul of the Haight-Ashbury experience… They began to distribute free food [with BEL funding], provide free medical care and sponsor free rock concerts in Golden Gate Park featuring musicians like the Grateful Dead.” To fill the ranks of the radical Youth Movement of the day kids were enticed with a clarion call to come to San Francisco with flowers in their hair by the rock group The Mommas and the Pappas (also with a little help from their friends in a Life© Magazine article). 852

Charles Manson was known to have associated with various members of the Diggers group, and as we learn Maury Terry in The Ultimate Evil p.606, with members of The Process Church of the Final Judgment as well. I believe we would not be remiss to say Manson was a cog in The Brotherhood of Eternal Love machine). At that time, Laguna Beach (the Southern California version of San Francisco’s HaightAshbury where was located BEL’s Mystic Arts World bookstore) was a common stopping point for those traveling south from Haight-Ashbury (in San Francisco) to Mexico (the Diggers group it must be noted is known to have operated an underground railroad of sorts which transported those individuals facing drug convictions in the U.S. to Mexico and which additionally ferried Vietnam War draft dodgers north to Canada). Timothy Leary, the excommunicated Harvard psychology lecturer and devotee of free love (and noted for the phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out"), became the godfather of the group (read: the head of the ‘Hippie Mafia’ BEL organization). For several years, their psychedelic activities were underwritten by selling high-quality marijuana. As business expanded, they decided to see if they could build a national (drug) distribution network. Farmer John and Chuck Scott bought a new station wagon, loaded it up with kilo bricks of marijuana and drove from Laguna Beach to the Holland Tunnel (in the New York City area). They took almost six weeks to move the load because New York’s hippie market for marijuana at the time of their arrival was small and informal. Eddy Martistich, Chuck Mundal and George Dumes brought 500 Lbs of Mexican pot to San Francisco to the Aquarian Temple BEL (from which headquarters they would deal their drugs) in a Pink Cadillac Distribution of the Brotherhood’s first wholesale loads began the creation of an entirely new market and sales pyramid (which pyramid included Charles Manson and the drug peddling/drug running inner circle of the Manson Family). After sales prospered, the Brotherhood (BEL) began to send researchers around the world to look into purchasing opportunities (Timothy Leary’s friend Michael Hollingshead included, it would seem, which accounts for Hollingshead’s relocation to the environs of the East). Red Lebanese and black Afghan hashish were favored because of their strength, perfumes, and popularity among buyers in the USA (it was in Afghanistan where the fugitive Timothy Leary was eventually apprehended after being broken out of jail by members of the Weather Underground), where hashish was purchased by BEL (Brotherhood of Eternal Love) members such as (CIA psychiatrist Timothy) Leary from Afghan Pashtun tribesmen (the Pashtun are the people of the Sufi secret society known as the Roshanites [the Roshaniyya, meaning “The Illuminated”], a group of Sufi mystics). Timothy Leary was arrested in Afghanistan and returned to the U.S. in 1973 A.D. in the same year a coup toppled the government of Afghan King Zahir Shah. The Soviets would subsequently invade Afghanistan in 1979 A.D. at which time the CIA armed antiSoviet mujahedeen forces (predominantly composed of Taliban Pashtun tribesmen) during Operation Cyclone, the largest covert CIA operation in its history, instituted under the Reagan presidential administration (no doubt owing to the fact Reagan’s V.P. was former CIA head George H.W. Bush). The CIA has a long history of using illicit drug sales to bankroll illegal covert military operations [See The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade by Alfred W. McCoy and VEIL: The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981-1987 by Bob Woodward] and the BEL organization it appears represented one such CIA drug dealing network (one case in point being convicted drug dealer Howard Marks who smuggled drugs in the 853

hollowed out speakers of rock musicians [a group of individuals I might add, drug related and quite prominently represented within our story]: “Howard Marks (born Dennis Howard Marks on 13 August 1945) is a Welsh author and former drug smuggler who achieved notoriety as an international cannabis smuggler [engaged in and I quote “…exporting cannabis (as well as hashish from Afghanistan) to the United States to The Brotherhood of Eternal Love…” organization] through highprofile court cases. At his peak he was supposedly smuggling consignments of the drug as large as 30 tons, and was connected with groups as diverse as the CIA, the IRA, MI6, and the Mafia [specifically the Trafficante crime family in Florida— Mafia head Santo Trafficante, Jr. was known to have been involved in CIA efforts to assassinate Fidel Castro, the Communist president of the island of Cuba located just miles off the Florida shores]. He was eventually convicted by the American Drug Enforcement Administration and handed a 25-year sentence [of which he served but 7].” – Wikipedia: Howard Marks. Howard Marks was additionally known to have been involved in CIA efforts to sell drugs to arm the mujahedeen rebels in Afghanistan). It was under Reagan’s watch that the CIA itself was outed in the Iran-Contra scandal (which included CIA-sanctioned cocaine sales within the United States as well as illicit arms sales to America’s supposed enemies in Iran), while those members of the CIA indicted and convicted of these offenses were later the recipients of presidential pardons issued by President George H. W. Bush, former CIA head/Director of Central Intelligence, the former Vice-President under Ronald Reagan). Other varieties of hashish were also purchased and imported in volume (often hidden within surf boards such as those imported and sold at BEL’s Mystic Arts World surf shop, a CIA front for their drug dealing operations). At a certain point, the cash flow was more than sufficient for them to set up their own laboratory in which to manufacture LSD. Bobby Ackerly and Charles Morgan BEL (Brotherhood of Eternal Love) Members owned the Euphoria Art Gallery with Bob Thomas and the Bear (nickname of Augustus Owsley Stanley III) when he had his (LSD) lab in Pasadena 1965-66. The elder chemist was the bright and quirky (Grateful Dead founder Augustus) Owsley Stanley (III), nicknamed ‘Bear’ (from whence is derived, I might add, The Grateful Dead’s psychedelic trails ‘Dancing Bear’ logo)…With funds from their hashish smuggling, the organization produced and distributed large amounts of the legendary ‘Orange Sunshine’ LSD… A 1972 Rolling Stone article dubbed them the ‘Hippie Mafia.’” – Wikipedia: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love. And despite Weather Underground terrorist bombings targeting the United States Capitol Building (1971 A.D.) and the Pentagon (1972 A.D.), as well as the bombing of a police station resulting in the death of a New York City police seargent (1970 A.D.), charges were later dropped against Weather Underground leaders such as Bill Aikers in 1973 A.D., one of the reasons cited was that the government was and I quote “remiss to reveal the foreign intelligence secrets such a trial would require.” Were CIA links to members of these groups, and perhaps to the establishment of these very groups themselves, to be found amongst the MKULTRA documents destroyed by the CIA, the public disclosure of which “could induce serious adverse reaction in U.S. public opinion”? One may only speculate. Charles Manson’s Family was known to have been involved in LSD and other drug sales at this time. In all probability Manson was one of the drug dealers for this group. Charles Manson made it a habit to surround himself with famous people 854

and with the children of the rich (case in point: Folgers Coffee fortune heiress Abigail Folger, a lesser known Manson Family murder victim whom Charles Manson had met in San Francisco [Abigail’s great-grandfather J.A. Folger founded the J.A. Folger Coffee Company in 1860 A.D. there in San Francisco]. Abigail Folger, Charles Manson, Bobby Beausoleil, and Kenneth Anger all were involved with the Straight Theater in Haight-Ashbury [See The Ultimate Evil by Maury Terry] with which the Diggers group and the Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization were also associated. Owsley’s band The Grateful Dead performed there as well, and Manson has said the first time he tripped on LSD he was at a Grateful Dead concert). Manson also had something of an occult following—people would hear about him and search him out. People were always coming and going on his commune (as would be expected with a well known drug dealer! Manson also pimped out his girls; he once spent time in jail for this offense). And as the evidence itself would suggest, he often made home drug deliveries to lots of big names in show business, even sharing in festivities around which he and his girls took center stage. Indeed, the Spahn Movie Ranch where Manson’s group resided was: “…located in heavy dope traffic country. The communes of the northwest San Fernando Valley at that time (Manson’s included) were warehouses for the L.A. dope trade.” - p.92 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D. Consider also the following little nugget of investigative journalism: “In the summer of 1964, Beat novelist Ken Kesey (the author of One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest and who had been an MK-ULTRA test subject at Stanford along with Allen Ginsberg and Grateful Dead musician Bob Hunter) launched a yearlong cross-country trip in a Day-Glo painted school bus filled with friends called ‘Merry Pranksters.’ The Merry Pranksters distributed thousands of doses of LSD along the way (a phenomenon colorfully described in author Tom Wolfe’s 1969 novel, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test) supplied by one Ronald Hadley Stark. Stark (who died in 1984) was a CIA operative fluent in five languages with access to unlimited public funds and numerous high-level contacts in business and government throughout the world. For instance, when the underground manufacture and distribution of LSD was suddenly derailed in 1969 due to the scarcity of its key ingredient, ergotamine tartrate, and increasing federal law enforcement pressure, Stark, via the Laguna Beach, Calif.-based Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a small group of local surfers led by chemist Nicholas Sand, got it quickly back on track. For five years, Stark, aided by the Castle Bank of the Bahamas (which pioneered the art of money laundering for the Mob) and his contacts in a French pharmaceutical firm, facilitated the mass production and distribution (via the Brotherhood [BEL] and other groups) of an even more powerful strain of LSD nicknamed ‘orange sunshine.’ This firm also manufactured BZ (which is 10,000 times more powerful than LSD). Stark (who operated LSD labs in Brussels and Paris as well) claimed he was going to supply orange sunshine as an offensive weapon to CIA-backed Tibetan rebels fighting the Chinese occupation. Stark also was a close friend of the Los Angeles founders of a small breakaway Scientology sect called "The Process Church of the Final Judgement," English expatriates Robert DeGrimston Moore and Mary Ann MacLean. Regular attendees of the Process Church included members of the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones and other prominent pop performers as well as an ex-convict and wannabe rock musician named Charles Manson (and Manson’s associations with the Beach Boys are well documented). Manson and his followers became heavy users of orange sunshine – the trademark ‘bad acid’ of the day – which they were all on when, on Manson’s orders, they carried out the brutal August 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders. When Stark (who is believed to have distributed an estimated 50 million doses of LSD during his [CIA] Agency career) was arrested for drug trafficking in Bologna** in 1975, Italian magistrate Giorgio Floridia ordered 855

his release on the grounds that he had been a CIA agent since 1960. Judge Floridia documented and justified this using a list of Stark’s numerous intelligence contacts.” (**Bologna, Italy is home to the University of Bologna, the world’s oldest university [established 1088 A.D.], Alma Mater to such Illuminus magical luminati as Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Dante Alighieri, Paracelsus [upon whose very teachings Harvard University itself was founded (See The Satanic States of America by John of the Gentiles)], and Patriarch Heraclius of Jerusalem, influential ally of Knights Hospitallier Grand Master Gilbert of Assailly and Knights Templar Grand Master Arnold of Torroja. To this day, Bologna yet still flies the Knights Templar flag, a testament to its Knights Templar allegience). - How the US Government Created the "Drug Problem" in the USA by Michael E. Kreca, April 19, 2001 A.D. No doubt the Weather Underground was a CIA construct from the very beginning (as was the Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization over which CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary presided) which broke its fellow CIA agent Timothy Leary out of prison. Concerning the CIA-associated Process Church of the Final Judgment: “(Charles) Manson is known to have dabbled with Scientology (inner-circle Manson Family-member Bruce Davis, convicted as an accomplice in the Gary Hinman murder, had been associated with the Church of Scientology’s Hubbard Institute of Scientology commune in London, England, the same place from where Process Church of the Final Judgment founding members Robert DeGrimston Moore and Mary Ann MacLean originated)…(Public Prosecutor) Vincent Bugliosi claims also that his teachings had some surprising similarities to those of The Process Church of the Final Judgment, the notorious occult sect of Robert de Grimston. In 1963, (de)Grimston, then known as Robert Moore (Robert Moore had been at one point in his life a British cavalry officer [See Turn Off Your Mind p.263]) and Mary Ann MacLean (Mary Ann MacLean was madame of a prostitution service with connections to the Profumo Affair [Ibid p.264]. Of an interesting note, another Soho men’s club hostess/prostitute named Julia Callan-Thompson who was connected to individuals centrally involved in the Profumo Affair was a member of Steve Abram’s SOMA Research Association [an entheogenic research institute for which Tavistock Institute psychiatrist R.D. Laing, Harvard University psychiatrist Norman Zinberg (author of the book Drug Set and Setting) and anthropologist Francis Huxley (son of Julian Huxley, first Director-General of UNESCO, and nephew of Aldous Huxley) served as directors. Steve Abrams SOMA Research Association studies are now known to have been CIA-funded under MKULTRA auspices through its Human Ecology Foundation (See p.36 Paranthropology Vol 4 No 1)]—Steve Abrams himself was known to have lectured at the Process Church of the Final Judgment’s London headquarters) had met at the Hubbard Institute of Scientology, on Fitzroy Street, London. Both were training to be (Church of Scientology) ‘auditors.’ They married soon after, and in 1964 left Scientology to set up their own system, Compulsions Analysis. They also adopted the name de Grimston (“Mary Ann’s crowd moved in the shadows of London’s society [read: her crowd had Mafia connections], but Robert’s set were its cream. One member I interviewed recalled that many of the original members [of the Process Church of the Final Judgment] came from Winchester College [alma mater of a number of prominent British SOE/Intelligence officers including Arthur J. Toynbee (a prominent fixture at the Esalen Institute where the Process Church of the Final Judgment was known to have given lectures), M.R.D. Foot (a relative of Labour Party leader/SOE historian Michael Foot), SOE officer Frank Thompson and Sir Oswald Mosely, a friend of Aleister Crowley’s close associate J.F.C. Fuller], brought into the fold by (Robert) DeGrimston’s brother (the adopted occult name DeGrimston is derived from the magical Grimsby Grimstone of Havelock the Dane located in the Port of Grimsby, home to a major British naval dock during WWII). Architects, scientists, artists, actors, business consultants, unlike Manson’s Family, the initial core of the Process (the Process Church of the Final Judgment) were not society’s dropouts, but its bright lights… By 1965, what began as a derivative of (the Church of) Scientology had become a kind of religious cult. They looked around for a name. They settled on the Process, originally a Hubbard term for the movement from psychological dependence to being clear.” – Turn Off Your Mind p.264, 265). In 1966 856

(the same year Anton LaVey was inaugurating his Church of Satan in San Francisco), the cult decamped to Xtul, Mexico, on the north coast of Yucatan. There they apparently discovered Satan (“…the shift from self-help group to apocalyptic cult was complete [this being a common, well documented and predictable occurance]… During their Mexican episode, Robert had begun channeling the first of his apocalyptic works, The Xtul Dialogues [a product of automatic-writing]…” – Ibid p.266, 267). Returning to London in 1967 and funded by a member’s inheritance, they turned their Mayfair mansion into a Satanic palace (Mayfair was home to the post-WWII MI5 British Intelligence network until 1976 A.D.), with all-night coffee bar, movie house and book store, where they sold issues of their magazine, The Process, devoted to Hitler, Satan and gore. Processeans went around in black capes (as had Process-member Charles Manson at one point), turtlenecks and silver crosses. They held telepathy classes and preached the coming apocalypse. They approached pop musicians as possible converts. Mick Jagger’s then-girlfriend Marianne Faithfull (whose father was a known British spy, as she most likely was as well**) posed in the infamous ‘Fear’ issue of The Process magazine in 1967 (a Marianne Faithfull interview also appears in The Process magazine ‘Death’ issue along with an op-ed column by convicted mass murderer Charles Manson; Mick Jagger appeared on The Process magazine’s ‘Freedom of Expression’ cover; quotes from Process interviews with Paul McCartney and his girlfriend Jane Asher appear in the ‘Fear’ issue [Ibid pp.268,269]) (** “[Marianne] Faithfull was born in Hampstead, London [Hampstead was, beginning in 1960 A.D., the new home for Dion Fortune’s Society for the Inner Light located at 38 Steeles Road, London NW3 which still operates today as an “initiatory school”/“magic lodge”]. Her father, Major Robert Glynn Faithfull [an Allied spy recurrently dropped behind enemy lines during World War II], was a British military officer and college professor in psychology.” – Wikipedia: Marianne Faithful. A number of Allied spies such as Major Faithful and Captain Al Hubbard amazingly enough morph into practicing psychiatrists/psychologists in the post-WWII period, and were no doubt those of the MKULTRA variety. A number of psychologists/psychiatrists including CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s Harvard University-educated psychiatrist/friend Jerome Brunner had served during WWII in the Anglo-American Psychological Warfare Division composed of British and American Intelligence officers from OWI, the OSS and the British PWE). The legendary bandleader Graham Bond (British occultist/Beatnik rocker Graham Bond of The Graham Bond Organisation, a number of whose band members would go on to form the British rock band Cream** along with lead guitarist Eric Clapton, a friend of Mick Jagger) also got involved with The Process and died in mysterious circumstances under a tube (train) at Finsbury Park station (“…like [L. Ron] Hubbard, they [The Process] dealt with lapsed members harshly.” – Turn Off Your Mind p.271). Late ’67 The Process hit the States, in LA sidling up to members of the West Coast rock establishment (including members of the The Beach Boys)—and Charlie Manson (a good friend of Beach Boys bandmember Dennis Wilson).” - Rosemary - The Connection Between Mia Farrow, Sharon Tate, Charlie Manson and the Beatles. The moral of the story: The Process Church = British Intelligence with CIA associations; British Intelligence = Illuminati = Carbonari. This fact explains the DeGrimston’s association with the Esalen Institute which itself had extensive joint British Intelligence [including Arthur J. Toynbee] and CIA associations. Of an interesting note, one prominent spy active at this time was CIA officer Edwin P. Wilson). (**Notable Cream bandmember Ginger Baker quote: “It happens to us quite often—it feels as though I’m not playing my instrument, something else is playing it and that same thing is playing all three of our instruments. That’s what I mean when I say it’s frightening sometimes. Maybe we’ll all play the same phrase out of nowhere. It happens very often with us.” A classic case of Overshadowing)

CIA agent Ronald Hadley Stark (aka Uncle Sugar; like many in our story Stark had also lived in Greenwich Village for a time), who 857

was largely responsible for much of the illicit distribution of LSD in America in his day, no doubt with a little help from his friends, was involved with a shadowy CIA laboratory known as the Himalayan Academy which was located near the CIA-associated Esalen Institute. Maury Terry provides yet another intriguing piece of our puzzle in his book The Ultimate Evil pp. 608-609: “(OTO-member Kenneth) Anger (a friend of Mason Family member Bobby Beausoleil), LSD guru Timothy Leary (a magic-practicing MKULTRA CIA-associated psychiatrist) and others were involved in the formation of the Himalayan Academy, which a source described to me as ‘a new-age (parapsychology/psychotronic) research foundation of altered states of consciousness.’ The academy was stocked with various types of expensive equipment, such as oscilloscopes and electronic measuring devices (this possibly represented an advanced generation version/empirical [MKULTRA] study of Timothy Leary’s very public Psychedelic Theater performances which were directed by Gerd Stern’s USCO multimedia company which similarly typically worked with oscilloscopes and the like in conjunction with MIT scientists possibly including one Harold Eugene Edgerton [a descendent of Governor William Bradley of the Plymouth Colony who arrived upon the Mayflower], inventor of the stroboscope and founder of EG&G, a defense contractor involved in Department of Defense black projects [For more information see pp.75-86 From Beat Scene Poet to Psychedelic Multimedia Artist in San Francisco and Beyond, 19481978]). It was a mind-bending facility of the first kind… the sources say (Abigail) Folger put some capitol into the Himalayan Academy— and that Charlie Manson was also connected to the society (in Manson in His Own Words, Manson mentions he was psychic, a subject matter in which the CIA took much interest). ‘Folger donated to the place, and it was there that Manson was first exposed to the Process (The Process Church of the Final Judgment),’ an informant says. ‘The academy was into all kinds of things (with a heavy bent on black magick practices as is evidenced by those magic-practicing individuals who were in fact associated with it) and the Process was invited to speak there. That’s how it happened.’ …according to the informant, Manson joined the cult (he joined The Process Church of the Final Judgment) and later convened with the group in Mill Valley in Marin County, CA (home over the years to various Beatnik poets associated with Gerd Stern, a close associate of CIA psychiatrist Timothy Leary, and site of the Mill Valley Air Force Station radar installation, home to 858

the very devilish 666th Radar Squadron) and at a dwelling in San Anselmo occupied by a well-known personage aligned with the LSD scene (this referring of course to the San Anselmo residence of Timothy Leary’s CIA partner-in-crime Ralph Metzner). Both cities are in the (San Francisco) Bay Area.” So you can see how everyone in our sordid little magical story is interrelated with one another in one way or some other and how various American and British Intelligence agencies were indeed central to the plot. Ronald Hadley Stark himself was also known to have been involved with the Weather Underground organization and was known to frequent the Spiral Staircase in Topanga Canyon, also known as the ‘Snake-Pit,’ where all associated West Coast Satanic cults [and some even hailing from the East Coast/Greenwich Village] would often come to rendezvous. CIA agent Ronald Hadley Stark also as one might expect ties in with British Intelligence. Stark even had associations with Tavistock Institute psychiatrist R.D. Laing [who was himself an associate of Bertrand Russell, a man with extensive ties to various members of the British Intelligence services]. The Tavistock Institute was the psychological warfare agency for the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS). The CIA-associated psychiatrist Timothy Leary, upon taking leave of Algiers and the Weather Underground [where he had, notably enough, following in the footsteps of British spy Aleister Crowley, performed some homosexual OTO sex-magic rituals with a British occultist named Brian Barritt (Aleister Crowley had performed the very same sex-magic ritual there in Bou Saada in Algiers with the magic-practicing poet Victor Neuburg); Brian Barritt himself was a member of the Psychedelic Shamanistic Institute (PSI). According to Brian Barritt’s autobiography entitled The Road of Excess (1998 A.D.), Barritt had at one point in time attended British Intelligence agent John G. Bennett’s Coombe Springs Institute], Leary ended up of course in the Illuminati bastion of Switzerland at the residence of an international arms dealer and drug/occult enthusiast named Michel Hauchard where he was joined by partners in crime and fellow practitioners of magic including Richard Alpert [at that time under the guise of LSD tantric sex-magic guru Baba Ram Dass], Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones and Anita Pallenberg (See pp.195,196 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman). Timothy Leary’s magic partner Brian Barritt also later joined this bunch in Switzerland (Barritt it is 859

interesting to note was a former member of the British merchant navy [he also served a stint in the British army], was known for being involved in gun-running operations [likely for Michel Hauchard] and drug smuggling for which offense he once spent four years in jail during the mid 1960s. Brian Barritt was also a friend of William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg). It was there in Immensee, Switzerland where Timothy Leary penned his book Confessions of a Hope Fiend (1973 A.D.) in which he describes his jailbreak and his subsequent adventures. Leary was arrested there in Switzerland and jailed very briefly at the behest of American authorities but was never afterwards extradited (a fact likely due to his CIA credentials). As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, a petition was sent by members of the international literary establishment on behalf of the 100 American members of the International P.E.N. Club (P.E.N. = Poets, Essayists, Novelists; which was later broadened to ‘Poets, Playwrights, Editors, Essayists, Novelists’) to the Swiss Ministry of Justice in Zurich urging that Timothy Leary be granted political asylum and which petition reads much like a who’s who of the characters involved in this saga. Signatories to the petition included: Arthur Miller (Miller was a past president of the International P.E.N. Club who served as its president during the 1960s), Allen Ginsberg, (Aldous Huxley’s widow) Laura Huxley, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Robert Creeley (Robert Creeley was a close friend of Charles Olson [both of whom along with Robert Duncan had served as teachers at Black Mountain College], Robert Duncan and Allen Ginsberg), Alan Watts, Kenneth Rexroth, Michael McClure, Gavin Arthur, Ken Kesey, Paul Krassner, (and Kenneth Anger’s friends) Anais Nin and Lenore Kandel. The International P.E.N. Club, currently a UNESCO nongovernmental human rights organization, had been founded in London circa 1921 A.D.—its founding members included George Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells (Wells. Head of British Intelligence operations during WWI, took over the presidency of this club in the 1930s following the death of its first president. Another co-founder was the editor Austin Harrison who published within the pages of The English Review original writings by authors including Aleister Crowley, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, Hermann Hess, Bertrand Russell, W.B. Yeats and Joseph Conrad [Joseph Conrad, whose poet/playwright father Apollo Korzeniowski was a Polish revolutionary with Carbonari connections, notably enough had during his lifetime carried out an 860

extensive correspondence with Jeanne Robert Foster, one of Aleister Crowley’s Scarlet Women. Jeanne Robert Foster’s friends included Ford Madox Ford, Ezra Pound and W.B. Yeats]). Even Bavarian poet/playwright/theater director turned Hollywood screenwriter Berthold Brecht had himself been a member of the German P.E.N Club. Today, 145 P.E.N. Club chapters are present in over 60 countries—it is active in over 100 countries total. As detailed in the investigatory book entitled Proofs of a Conspiracy Against All the Religions and Governments of Europe, Carried on in the Secret Meetings of Free Masons, Illuminati and Reading Societies, reading societies/literary societies such as the P.E.N Club have long been used as cover for clandestine subversive activities:** “The great strength of our (Illuminati) Order lies in its concealment… a learned or literary society is well suited to our purpose, and had Free Masonry not existed this cover would have been employed” and let us not forget that each and every one of the Illuminati is in essense a spy. Note well this shared commonality; no doubt so many of the authors, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, journalists and editors within our story may all thereby be linked (as well as through the U.K.’s Society of Authors trade union established 1884 A.D. Alfred, Lord Tennyson served as first president and International P.E.N. Club founding member George Bernard Shaw was an early member who also played a prominent role therein). There is in addition a P.E.N. Centre USA located in Beverly Hills, CA and as we learn from PEN International’s website: “In 1949, following the passage of a resolution introduced by the PEN American Centre, PEN acquired consultative status at the United Nations as ‘representative of the writers (read: agents of influence) of the world.’” (The CIA-associated James Angleton’s friend W.H. Auden [and thusly the whole entire Crowley bunch] links to Aldous Huxley and Berthold Brecht through an employee of PEN, German-Jewish author Sybille Bedford. So many of the members in this story also link together through the American Academy of Arts and Letters located in New York City. Another common link amongst many characters in our story though not literary in character itself is the Society of the Cincinnati, a [Illuminati-associated] fraternal order founded in 1783 A.D. by former Revolutionary War officers [many of whom served in George Washington’s spy network including American spymaster Benjamin Tallmadge] whose national headquarters is located in Washington D.C.) (**In The Book of Enoch we are told it was a fallen angel named Penemue who at the first taught man to write) 861

Some pen ink must also be spilled concerning Topanga Canyon itself: “Several weeks before we decided to come south (to L.A.), I (Charles Manson) had met a lady (Georgina Brayton) in Frisco (San Francisco)… she was pumped up about devil worship and other satanic activities (and perhaps like a number of Manson Family members was an attendee of the San Francisco-based Church of Satan as well)… As a result of our acquaintance, she had given me a standing invitation to visit her home in Topanga Canyon… I was in L.A. waiting for some action on a recording session (on a Warner Bros.© record label). We needed a place to park the bus for a while, so we went looking for her house. Taking Topanga Canyon Boulevard we came to a two-story house with a peculiar winding staircase which one of the girls (which group of girls included Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey’s girl Susan Atkins [Anton LaVey’s friend Kenneth Anger (a close associate of Manson Family member/Church of Satan attendee Bobby Beusoliel, a friend of Manson Family member/Church of Satan attendee Susan Atkins) was also known to frequent these Topanga Canyon environs as well]) quickly dubbed the “Spiral Staircase.” I don’t know too much about the history of the place, but long before we arrived there, it had become a meeting place (it was in fact a meeting place for a group of associated witch’s covens and other assorted practitioners of magic), a party house, a freak-out pad, and for some, a hideout (quite possibly as a stop on the Digger’s ‘underground railroad’ with which group Charles Manson was associated). Its isolated location served a lot of purposes for a lot of different people and, like the lady who owned the place, some far-out, spaced-out, weird people were frequent visitors… our philosophy…began changing into the madness that eventually engulfed us in that house… I would observe and listen to all of the practices and (magic) rituals of the different groups that visited the place (which was frequented by people that in the words of Nicholas Schreck, husband of Zeena LaVey, daughter of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey: “…others would call strange: warlocks and witches and Children of the Night (‘Children of the Night’ is a term often used as a euphemism for child prostitutes)” [See The Manson File], and was quite possibly a haunt of Zeena’s father Anton LaVey as well, seeing as how Manson Family members Bobby Beausoleil and Susan Atkins were Church of Satan attendees, as was Bobby Beausoleil’s and Anton LaVey’s mutual friend, Kenneth Anger). I’m not into sacrificing some animal or drinking its blood to get a better charge out of sex (a common element in Satanic sex-magic practices). Nor am I into chaining someone and whipping them (sadomasochism) to get my kicks like some of those people were (sadomasochism, or S&M for short, is a common element in both black and white ‘sex-magic’ magic rituals. As Doreen Valiente notes in The Rebirth of Witchcraft p.59, “flagellation and bondage,” typical S&M practices, were in fact staples of Gerald B. Gardner’s Wicca magic rituals. S&M, to be sure, was one of the featured topics of Church of Satan lectures, and it is also interesting to note that the infamous S&M** dominatrix Monique Von Cleef, a former nurse from The Hague, was an early member of the Church of Satan [See p.236 Lucifer Rising] and may have even been present here in this horrendous house of pain). Still, through the drugs and listening to the ways a particular leader or guru maneuvered his people, some of their rap may have become embedded in my subconscious. Planting fear in their people is the way a lot of leaders keep control. At the time, love and doing our own thing was what held us together and that’s the way I wanted everything to be, but at a later 862

date, the things I was exposed to at the Staircase may have come back to me… there were those who lived in the city and walked the straight and narrow by day—people with beautiful faces or charming personalities, people who made great contributions to society. They came in the dark, visiting the Spiral Staircase to indulge in what they preached against by day. They were nationally respected celebrities, a prominent sports figure or two, some of the influential and wealthy, and on occasion, some who wore the cloth and preached the word of God. It was a strange house, but one to learn in, a place where mental sickness and mass confusion were the best one could expect… It was a hard-core, multiple-devil worshipping bunch of people who passed through the doors of the Spiral Staircase.” - pp.122-123 Manson: In His Own Words by Nuel Emmons, 1986 A.D. (**A reprint of a virtual S&M sex-magic bible entitled Magica Sexualis first published in 1934 A.D. made its appearance around this time being published in L.A. in North Hollywood in 1966 A.D. as a Brandon House Library Series/Essex House/Parliament News book offering from men’s magazine publisher Milton Luros [Luros was a former science-fiction pulp book-cover illustrator whose artworks predominantly portray busty beautiful woman often lustily in the midst of being sexually assaulted by overpowering aliens] it may be helpful to note as this publishing house traces back to Anton LaVey and sci-fi company through associated publisher Earl Kemp who during the 1950s published books by science-fiction writers Robert A. Heinlein and Robert Bloch. As interest in sci-fi pulp novels and fanzines began to fade, and as its distribution network had turned towards dealing in better-selling novels and sordid though profitable girly magazines, Milton Luros reinvented himself as a publisher/pornographer/editor of various lascivious men’s magazines [magazines including titles such as Pagan©, Black Magic© and Satan’s Scrapbook© as well as others of a less magical though more pornographical nature and often including articles on the subject of S&M and featuring pictures of naked freeloving hippies] for which variously related endeavors he would be prosecuted under prevailing U.S. antipornography laws [pornography incidentally enough takes its name from the Greek haetara Aphrodite Porne, the goddess of love and lust, prostitution being associated with the worship of Aphrodite and Porne being known as a city with weak morals]. Milton Luros would eventually partner with nudist magazine publishers Ed Lange and Stan Sohler of the SUN ERA© nudist magazine published by Elysium Inc. in North Hollywood beginning in 1963 A.D., with Ed Lange later founding [in 1968 A.D.] the Elysium Institute of the Elysium Fields nudist colony located there in Topanga Canyon [a photo of Anton LaVey even appears upon the cover of one of Milton Luros’ SUN ERA© Nude Living magazines under the headline ‘Satanism: Religion of Sex and Indulgence’ where Anton LaVey is festively flocked by a bevy of beautiful skyclad babes bearing only their bare-boned birthday suits]. Of a related note, Parliament News was alleged to have been the exclusive distributor of the Lollitots child pornography magazine [some of which photos were said to have been taken at an anonymous unnamed nudist colony (think: Elysium Fields)] for which offense its president faced prosecution by the city of Los Angeles. It is even quite possible some of the material contained in this magazine was being produced there at the Spiral Staircase located in Topanga Canyon. At any rate, a number of San Francisco poets of the Beat era including Robert Creeley, Allen Ginsberg though most predominently Jack Hirschman were tasked in writing the introductions to a number of Milton Luros’ Brandon House Library Edition erotic books. As we learn from Wikipedia: “In the 1950s and 60s, Jack Hirschman taught at Dartmouth College [a Puritan-founded school in New Hampshire] and the University of California, Los Angeles [UCLA]. During his tenure as professor at UCLA one of the students enrolled in his class was Jim Morrison, later to be a cofounder and lead vocalist of the American band The Doors…” Jack Hirschman himself had been a regular at the Café Trieste during the Beat era in San Francisco/North Beach during the 50s and early 60s along with fellow Beat poets Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Richard Brautigan, Gregory Corso, Michael McClure, Kenneth Rexroth, Bob Kaufman, Neeli Cherkovski [a 863

friend of Harold Norse] and everyone’s favorite Beat philosopher Alan Watts, a vocal champion of The Church of Satan. Some very interesting associations indeed. Also ensconced at UCLA at this time was former RKO film producer Kenneth Macgowan who has produced films featuring OTO-member John Carradine [a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge] including the 1941 A.D. film, Man Hunt: “In 1947, he left the movie industry to become the first chair of the Department of Theater Arts at UCLA. The theater building on the school’s campus is named in his honor.”- Wikipedia: Kenneth Macgowan) Among the activities alleged to have taken place at the Spiral Staircase included sadomasochistic sex (S&M), animal, and even human, sacrifice (See Manson in his Own Words pp.123,128). It was at the Spiral Staircase where Charles Manson first met Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger’s friend Bobby Beausoleil (who in fact personally knew Anton LaVey and was known to have visited Anton LaVey’s home which had served as the Church of Satan): “The first time I (Bobby Beausoleil) met the Manson people was at the Spiral Staircase house down in Malibu, just at the base of Topanga Canyon. I went there visiting a friend that I had known previously from the Hollywood scene, a guy named Paris (quite possibly this is a reference to Samson De Brier who resided in Hollywood and had been a member of Gertrude Stein’s post-WWI Parisian group, as Samson De Brier was a close associate of Bobby Beausoleil’s friend Kenneth Anger and he also knew Anton LaVey and Jack Parsons as well, all of whom are known to have frequented the Samson De Brier magic salon). He was one of the Hollywood regulars, actually more from the "beat generation" I think (Wallace Berman, whose friends included Edmund Teske [a friend of OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood], OTO-member Marjorie Cameron [Cameron was OTO lodge leader Jack Parsons’ widow] and Dennis Hopper [whose father Jay Hopper had been a member of Jack Parsons OTO lodge—Dennis Hopper was known to frequent the Samson De Brier magic salon as well] and friends were all in fact ‘beat generation’ Topanga Canyon dwellers), he was quite a bit older. I was visiting him (in Topanga Canyon) and there was what seemed to be a party going on next door—people smoking pot (marijuana) and playing music. So I just wandered over there and it was Charlie Manson singing and playing guitar, and there were some other guys and some girls. I sat down, I listened for awhile, and I picked up this thing called a melodica. It’s designed on the same concept as a harmonica, except it has keys. There was one sitting on the table next to me, and I picked it up and started improvising some counterpoint melodies, which kind of blew everyone’s mind—maybe they were all loaded on acid (LSD). I played along for a little while and checked out what was going on, then I left… When I ran into them that time in Malibu (which is located at the base of Topanga Canyon where was located the Spiral Staircase) it was just a real brief thing, it wasn’t that significant to me (though it is a testament to the ‘small world’ Hollywood was in his day: “In the sixties L.A. rock scene everybody knew everybody. The Doors, the Byrds, the Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Love, the Mothers of Invention, the Mamas and Papas, etc: all the stars and their satellites hung out with each other.” - Charles Manson: Death Metal by David Comfort). I heard later on that it was fairly significant to them—apparently it seemed pretty strange to them that someone could come in cold and harmonize with Charlie’s music without any previous familiarity.” – Interviews with Bobby Beausoleil 1998-9 by Michael Moynihan for Seconds Magazine©. Charles Manson’s and Bobby Beausoleil’s paths would continue to cross in Topanga Canyon: “At one point I (Bobby Beausoleil) had these notices put up advertising myself as a guitar player for hire and I got a call from a band called the Milky Way who wanted me to play guitar for a gig. It turned out to be a little band that Manson was in. Charlie Manson was the lead singer. They had a gig at the Topanga Canyon Corral (the Topanga Corral), which was the only nightclub in Topanga—it was actually a beer bar. I played with them and it was really 864

pretty easy, I just improvised along with them… I didn’t get in-depth with them at that point, but I did meet him again a month or two later and went down and visited with him down across from the Spiral Staircase house, where they had the bus parked across the street.” – Interviews with Bobby Beausoleil 1998-9 by Michael Moynihan for Seconds Magazine©. It was there in Topanga Canyon while parked at the Spiral Staircase that Manson would paint his famous black Manson Family school bus, black, perhaps inspired by the 1966 A.D. Rolling Stones hit, Paint It, Black. Jim Morrison of The Doors himself owned a house in Topanga Canyon, and another member of our magical little story who had retained a house in Topanga Canyon was everyone’s old OTO friend, the actor Dean Stockwell (also a former member of Jack Parsons OTO lodge), and Stockwell’s good buddy, musician Neil Young, resided close nearby as well (Jim Morrison’s friend Edmund Teske [in 1965 A.D., Jim Morrison had attended a film class taught by Edmund Teske at UCLA where Teske was employed as a visiting professor from 1965 – 1970 A.D.], an avante-guarde artist who provided the cover art for The Doors’ occultly named ‘13’ album [featuring Doors’ band-members pictured along with a bust of Aleister Crowley containing their Topanga Canyon/Spiral Staircase-inspired hit song Roadhouse Blues], was himself a friend of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood, and of Gerald Heard and Aldous Huxley, all of these being individuals with whom Edmund Teske had frequented Swami Prabhavananda’s Hollywood ashram [Edmund Teske also knew Anais Nin whom he had known during his employment at Paramount pictures, and Teske personally knew Anais Nin’s friend Kenneth Anger (both of whom were attendees of Samson De Brier’s magic salon) as well (in fact, Kenneth Anger is the subject of Edmund Teske’s ‘Kenneth Anger, Topanga Canyon, California, Composite (1954)’ portrait, compiled from a photograph of Kenneth Anger originally taken by Edmund Teske in Topanga Canyon where Teske had first taken up residence back in 1950 A.D. No doubt Kenneth Anger’s friend Bobby Beausoleil knew Edmund Teske as well)]). Neil Young himself has professed to partying with many Manson Family members including Charles Manson at the house of fellow musician Dennis Wilson. Would it be too much to assume that this bunch had also frequented the Spiral Staircase as well? Interestingly enough Neil Young has even professed to having sold his soul to the devil in order to further his own musical career. The Last Statue offers the following cryptic description of the madness to be experienced there in Topanga Canyon: “Some of the Satan’s Slaves (as we learn from An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present by the Wiccan witch Doreen Valiente, Charles Manson and the Manson Family were themselves known as Satan’s Slaves) supposedly worship the goddess Circe (as part of the group known as the Kirkѐ Order of Dogblood, one of the headquarters of which was located in a house near Spahn Ranch [See p.152 The Family], communal home to the Manson Family. Current 93 in their song ‘Beausoleil’ seem to suggest that Bobby was a member of this order)…Point being, that part of the Slave’s worship of Circe would seem to involve the drinking of dog blood… German Shepherd—freshly skinned and drained or so I’m told (also practiced by the associated Son of Sam cult [See Maury Terry’s The Ultimate Evil]. Maury Terry therein draws an association between both West Coast and East Coast cults, they being one and the very jet-set same. One may even argue the Son of Sam cult is named after Samson De Brier [Samson De = Son of Sam], that Samson De Brier was the ‘Father Sam’ who ordered them to kill and that the Son of Sam cult included individuals associated with Samson De Brier’s magic salon. Since the Son of Sam case has been reopened, one may do well to begin their search there). Along with a lot of rape, necrophilia, pedophilia, and just generally freaking out, or all of the above simultaneously. It all has something to do with that house those guys were standing in front of.” None of the locals actually called it the ‘Spiral Staircase’—that came later, after Manson’s ascension to media-darling status (and perhaps it owes its name in part to the RKO Radio Pictures film by this name, The Spiral Staircase [1946 A.D.], the story of a deranged male serial killer co-starring Ethel Barrymore, sister of Hollywood Hell Fire Club865

member John Barrymore who was himself a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge). When referred to at all, it was as ‘the Snake-Pit’ by the locals, or ‘Gina’s Roadhouse’ by the bikers (bikers such as the Hell’s Angels, the Straight Satans and Satan’s Slaves [Ed Sanders in The Family describes the Satan’s Slaves as being a “secretive aloof motorcycle club with occult proclivities.” He also therein notes: “It was thought that a few of the bikers that Manson met were part of Brayton’s outlaw Solar Lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis, and that they turned him on to it… At least five separate individuals have claimed that they were told by a member of [Georgina] Brayton’s rebel O.T.O. Lodge that Manson was involved with the Lodge…”)… “There seems to be a mingling of various interests over at the Snake Pit, there’s Georgina (Brayton) and her (Solar Lodge OTO) group (Georgina Brayton is known to have been initiated into the OTO by Ray Burlingame, a former member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge; Hollywood director Jerry Kay, director of the film Easy Rider [a film produced by Raybert Productions© best known for its TV series The Monkeys for which program Charles Manson was known to have auditioned] starring Dennis Hopper [who also resided in Topanga Canyon and knew Charles Manson], was a known member of Georgina Brayton’s Solar Lodge OTO)—she owns the place—then there’s the British people in the capes (the DeGrimstons, The Process Church of the Final Judgment leaders and their followers. Inner-circle Manson Family-member Bruce Davis, convicted as an accomplice in the Gary Hinman murder, had been associated with the Church of Scientology’s Hubbard Institute of Scientology commune in London, England, the same place from where the founding members of The Process Church of the Final Judgment originated—Bruce Davis had at one point worked there for a time and Manson is reputed to have been a member of The Process Church as well. A jail cell interview of mass murderer Charles Manson appears in The Process Church magazine’s ‘Death’ issue) with the pentagrams and goat’s heads,” says Elk (aka Dr. Clement Meighan, UCLA Professor of Archaeology/Anthropology who likewise resided in Topanga Canyon. As Hans Holzer has noted in his exposѐ The New Pagans, UCLA was a place where one could go to study to become a witch. The anthropologist/practicing Shaman Carlos Casteneda, whose Shaman friend Michael Harner was a member of Anton LaVey’s Magic Circle during the early to mid 1960s, received his formal training in magic at UCLA)… The party’s always on. Catch it during the day or early evening, and it seems harmless enough: swingin’ stoner party, music, strobe-lights, dancing, groovy guys and chicks balling on pillows and couches… a little later on, the real weirdos start to crawl out of the woodwork: witches and warlocks, cult leaders and would-be messiahs (like Charles Manson)…evidently a very competitive field these days. From there, the hardcore believers (read: practitioners of black magick) branch off into different rooms devoted to S&M in one, hardcore deviant sex in another, some sort of blood rituals involving small animals in another. Lots of acid (LSD), lots of (drugs including) scopolamine (the drug scopolamine is derived from henbane, a plant traditionally known as one of several ‘witches’ weeds.’ Scopolamine was the first drug to be officially approved as a truth inducing drug [also known as ‘truth serum’]), datura (the plant datura, aka Moonflower and known for its hallucinogenic properties, was a common ingredient of love potions and witches’ brews), Demerol (a synthetic opioid), speed (slang for amphetamines, a stimulant formerly used to treat depression), pretty much whatever you want…and plenty of it.” … “You hear all kinds of stories up and down the canyon…dark things happening along the beach (including orgies and animal sacrifices. Interestingly enough, Hollywood director John Frankenheimer owned a beach house there on the beach at this time as well [it was at the JFKassociated John Frankenheimer’s beach house in fact where Senator Robert Kennedy would eat his fateful last meal in 1968 A.D. in the company of Manson Family murder victim/OTO witch Sharon Tate. Robert Kennedy was murdered by a man named Sirhan Sirhan who like OTO-member Charles Manson reportedly had also had had Process Church associations. Additionally, Sirhan Sirhan was, as has later been discovered, an “OTO cultist” as well (See p.88 Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare by Michael A. Hoffman II]) and up at the Moonfire Ranch (which was, according to eyewitness/OTO-member Ed Sanders in his Manson Family exposѐ entitled The Family, the scene of many such occult magic ceremonies. 866

The Moonfire Ranch was owned by a friend of the very witchy pop artist Andy Warhol [Warhol was a friend of Dennis Hopper], a man named Lewis Beech Marvin III (Lewis Beech Marvin III is featured in the film, Mondo Hollywood [released in 1967 A.D.], along with Manson Family-member Bobby Beausoleil and the Anton LaVey-associated Paulekas brothers), heir to the S&H "Green Stamps" fortune and was the site of Marvin’s Moonfire hippie commune with its associated Moonfire Temple located on a ridge overlooking Topanga Canyon: “The Moonfire Temple is a private property built by Lewis Marvin in the early 1960’s. It resembles ancient Greek pillar architecture and was home to orgies, acid tests and pagan rituals for most of the decade. Such timeless figures as The Doors, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell were invited multiple times a year to play music for recluse hippies trying to escape Los Angeles.” The Anton LaVey-associated Paulekas brothers were notable friends of Lewis Beech Marvin III and various Manson Family members are known to have visited his place as well)… Georgina (Brayton) supposedly has a place in the desert (known as the ‘Ark’) where they really cut loose—the kids say they sacrificed a bear out there, and drank its blood… You usually don’t see Georgina (Brayton) until the last part of the cycle when all these rooms full of strange goggle-eyed people have passed into a deep scopolamine and Demerol comatose stone-slumber, then she proudly wanders through the place, holding her black candle (therewith performing a Celtic ‘Candle Magic’ magic ritual, black being the color of evil/death. Candle Magic is commonly employed in Wiccan witchcraft ceremonies. As L.A. witch Louise Huebner notes in her book Witchcraft for All [1970 A.D.]: “Black candles are for evil wishes. If you want to tap evil forces…use the black candle.”), grinning…taking great satisfaction in her accomplishment… what’s that song she always whistles?” “Either ‘Danny Boy’ or ‘Londonderry Air’ (‘Danny Boy’ is the most popular set of lyrics that are sung to the musical accompaniment of the dirge-like ‘Londonderry Air,’ a song popular in the Northern Ireland home of the Irish Republican Army [the successor organization to the Irish Republican Brotherhood] and amongst displaced revolutionary Irish nationals as well)—I think…she sings and whistles it” (Georgina Brayton was married to one Richard Montgomery Brayton, a teacher at the University of California, Los Angeles [UCLA], namesake of relative Richard Brayton whose wife, Teresa Brayton [1868 – 1943 A.D.] had been intimately involved in the Irish Republican Brotherhood’s 1916 A.D. Easter Rising), says Darla nursing a cup of tea, “That house has come loose from its foundation (the house had in fact been condemned), and I think most other residents in the area would agree (which residents included the magicpracticing friends of the magic-practicing Kabalist, Wallace Berman, included amongst whose cliquѐ of friends was the OTO-associated author/magic adept Henry Miller); so has Gina. Doesn’t stop people from coming out and making the scene though. Sometimes famous and/or powerful people (in the immortal words of the mortal Mr. Morrison: “We’re goin’ to the Roadhouse [Georgina’s Roadhouse], We’re gonna have a real, good time…”). Let’s say you’re a budding starlet driving down from Bel-Air in a red Ferrari (such as actress/OTO witch Sharon Tate who resided in a Bel Air** home and drove a 1967 red Ferrari)…or a rock idol with your face plastered across billboards on the (Sunset) Strip (such as Jim Morrison), Gina’s is the ‘in’ place to wallow in all those kinky forbidden thrills that you thought you might be missing out on… Afterwards, there’s always the [Topanga] Ranch Motel where they’ve got some bungalows out back (“...for those who…” in the words of Topanga Canyon resident Jim Morrison, “…like to go down slow…”). Nothing too fancy…but easier to maintain your privacy of celebrity than waking up on the tilted floor of the Snake-Pit— although many do…” (**Author’s Note: There are two main entrances to the ultra-exclusive gated community of Bel Air where Sharon Tate was murdered—the East Gate located at Beverly Glen and Sunset Boulevards and a West gate located at Bellagio Road and Sunset Boulevards opposite an entrance to UCLA. One may not simply traipse in uninvited. Also interesting to note at this time is the existence of UCLA’s parapsychology lab [the existence of which is often categorically denied though easily verified via internet] in operation from 1967 – 1978 A.D. and headed by former Paramount screenwriter Thelma Moss [nѐe Schnee, wife of Hollywood producer Paul Moss (she wrote the screenplay for the Paul Moss-produced film 867

The Detective [1954 A.D.] starring Ealing Studios [a British Intelligence front company] star Alec Guiness)], Ph.D. [she being a clinical psychologist by training]. The lab itself was located within UCLA’s Neuropsychological Institute [NPI] which in 1969 A.D. came under the direction of the infamous MKULTRA CIA psychiatrist/mind control specialist Louis Jolyon West, aka "Dr. Jolly," whose research covered many fields including hallucinatory drugs, violent behavior, the hippie culture and cults—in other words, he had studied everything which was going on in Topanga Canyon at the Spiral Staircase (actor Cary Grant’s ex-wife, former RKO actress/Harvard graduated neuropsychiatrist Betsy Drake had worked there as well). Also during the 1960s, Dr. West was known to have had conducted MKULTRA LSD experiments in Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco within the resident hippie community. The CIA had funneled tens of millions of dollars through NPI supporting such shadowy government-sponsored MKULTRA experimentations, no small sum in its day. Another UCLA/NPI psychologist involved in the study of cults and brainwashing at this time was Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer who while working side by side with Dr. Louis Jolyon West had over the course of her career interviewed more than 4,000 known cult members including Charles Manson along with a number of his Manson Family followers. Charles Manson to be sure was an MKULTRA test subject, he also being connected to the CIA-associated Esalen Institute) Topanga Canyon in the decade prior to these salacious goings on it is quite interesting to note was home to Lord Buckley’s mescaline club The Church of the Living Swing founded in 1954 A.D. there in a Topanga Canyon art gallery owned and operated by Lord Buckley’s friend Bob DeWitt (owner of the Topanga Corral until 1963 A.D.), and beginning in 1959 A.D., Lord Buckley was known to have taken part in LSD experiments with Dr. Oscar Janiger (as had actor Cary Grant). The aesthetic Lord Buckley, ever the consummate performer whose acts included wartime USO shows during WWII and who in later years was a denizen of the mafia run Las Vegas stage, notably enough, was a friend of T.V. variety show host Ed Sullivan [the pair toured together in USO shows from 1942-1945 A.D.], Ed Sullivan being best known for launching The Beatles into the American limelight. Lord Buckley first met Oscar Janiger on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood: “In 1959, in the Club Renaissance (a Beatnik nightclub) on the Sunset Strip (at 8424 Sunset Blvd.) where he was a regular, Lord Buckley slammed into Dr. Oscar Janiger…a psychiatrist with access to this new thing called LSD. He was studying the effects of LSD on creatives. He needed volunteers. He got them: Anais Nin, Andre Previn, James Coburn, Ivan Tors, Aldous Huxley (they both knew Dr. Humphrey Osmond…), and Cary Grant. And Lord Buckley…” who by 1960 A.D. would himself be dead of a stroke (See Walt Lockley’s fine internet exposѐ). Lord Buckley was also a friend of magic-practicing novelist Henry Miller and had direct ties to Robert Kennedy’s close personal friend, CIA agent George Plimpton, as well (additionally, George Plimpton’s CIA colleague, an ex-Navy vet named Harold Hume had served as Lord Buckley’s business manager. Harold Hume, a writer who published under the name H.L. Hume, had studied fiction writing under Archibald MacLeish at Harvard University [as no doubt a cover for his other CIA pursuits], graduating in 1954 A.D. and Harold Hume himself was known to have consumed prodigious amounts of LSD under the CIA-associated MKULTRA researcher Timothy Leary’s direction in London in 1966 A.D. and in 1968 A.D. would be jailed in Paris during the 1968 A.D. student revolution demonstrations taking place there as well [for which event he had no doubt served as an agent provacateur]. A small, small world it is indeed. Harold Hume would also serve as author Norman Mailer’s campaign manager during Norman Mailer’s run for New York City mayor). Legendary record producer Nik Venet who produced the early Beach Boys albums got his start in the music business chauffeuring the CIAassociated entertainer Lord Buckley around the Los Angeles area in the late 1950s. As we learn from Lord Buckley’s internet bio: “His Lordship was born Richard Myrle Buckley on April 5, 1906, in Tuolumne, California, a mining town located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas… By the 1930s he was in Chicago, appearing as an MC in mob-owned speakeasies; there he became a protégé of Al Capone, who set up the comedian with his own club, the Chez 868

Buckley, where he performed backed by a cadre of jazz musicians… throughout the early '40s he worked the [RKO?] vaudeville circuit… After touring with the U.S.O. [1942-1945 A.D.] during World War II, Buckley relocated to New York City, where he acted in a Broadway production titled The Passing Show. After he married Elizabeth Hanson, one of the show’s dancers, the couple and their children moved to Los Angeles at the dawn of the 1950s… Buckley began taking on the persona of ‘His Lordship,’ an aristocratic hipster madman clad in tuxedo, pith helmet, and Salvador Dali-esque waxed mustache. He quickly emerged as an underground legend, participating in LSD experiments while throwing wild parties at his rented Hollywood Hills mansion (dubbed the Castle) where the likes of Frank Sinatra, (later Church of Satan-member) Sammy Davis Jr, and Tony Curtis** mingled with jazz musicians, junkies, and (Beatnik) poets.” (**Former WWII Navy vet Tony Curtis, a Hollywood actor who studied acting at the CIA-associated New School for Social Reasearch in Greenwich Village under Erwin Piscator, stars in American-born British spy/director Alexander Mackendrick’s 1967 A.D. film Don't Make Waves alongside actress/OTO witch Sharon Tate) (It was the Edmund Teske-associated former RKO film director Lewis Milestone who in 1960 A.D. had directed the film Ocean’s 11 [distributed by Warner Bros.©] starring all the members of the Rat Pack [Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and (Robert Kennedy’s brother-in-law) Peter Lawford]. Milestone in 1963 A.D. also directed The Richard Boone Show televison series on which recurrently appeared OTO-member Dean Stockwell’s actor brother, Guy Stockwell. Richard Boone, best known as the gunfighter ‘Paladin’ from the hit T.V. show Have Gun - Will Travel [one of whose writers was a young Gene Roddenberry] was a graduate of the Actors Studio in New York later headed by Lee Strasberg) Topanga Canyon indeed has quite the storied history: “During the 1960s, Topanga Canyon became a magnet to many new artists. In 1965 (the magic-practicing Kabalist) Wallace Berman settled in the area. For a time, Neil Young lived in Topanga, first living with (Warner Bros.©/Reprise Records record) producer David Briggs then later buying his own house. He would record most of his After the Gold Rush album in his basement studio (there in Topanga Canyon) in 1970 (“Songs on the album were inspired by the Dean Stockwell-Herb Berman screenplay for the unmade film After the Gold Rush…The script has since been lost, though has been described as ‘sort of an end-of-the-world movie.’ Stockwell said of it ‘I was gonna write a movie that was personal, a Jungian self-discovery of the gnosis...it involved the Kabala, it involved a lot of arcane (occult) stuff.’” – Wikipedia: After the Goldrush (Indeed, to quote Jim Morrison, at Georgina’s Roadhouse: “The future’s uncertain and the end is always near.”). Charles Manson had previously been living in Topanga Canyon where he had briefly befriended both Neil Young and Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys (note Dennis Wilson’s association with Charles Manson and Neil Young in Topanga Canyon—Wilson owned a beach house in Malibu located at the base of Topanga Canyon. Both Manson and Neil Young also hung out at Dennis Wilson’s house in Hollywood). Members of “Manson’s family” began their campaign of murder on July 31, 1969 with the murder of Topanga (Canyon) resident Gary Hinman, a music teacher who had opened his home to anyone needing shelter (following the LaBianca murders, Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian and Steven Grogan visited a house located at 3921 Topanga Canyon Blvd in Topanga Canyon) (3921 Topanga Canyon Blvd. was the address of Georgina Brayton’s house known as the ‘Snake Pit’/‘Spiral Staircase’). The Topanga Corral (variously known as the Corral and the Topanga Canyon Corral) was a nightclub that featured an eclectic mix of performers (a number of whom were known to perform at the CIA-associated Esalen Institute with which Manson was associated as well), including then Topanga locals Canned Heat, Spirit (Spirit band-member Randy California had formerly played with Jimi Hendrix. Spirit also toured with the Kenneth Anger associated band Led Zeppelin), Little Feat (band-member Lowell George was a former member of Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention. Frank Zappa was known to collaborate on artistic productions with Manson Family member Bobby Beausoleil, a close friend of Kenneth Anger), Spanky and Our Gang, Taj Mahal, Emmylou Harris (who like The Doors also would have an album release entitled ‘Thirteen’ on the Warner Bros.© music label), Etta James, Windance, 869

(Manson Family friend) Neil Young, and (the Neil Young-associated band) Crazy Horse, Geronimo Black, and many others (most of which bands recorded on Warner Brothers Music Group© labels or had contractual distribution agreements therewith, all residing in Topanga Canyon alongside a Warner Brothers Records© record producer. Another individual important to our story is Warner Bros. Records© producer Lenny Waronker [he would later serve as president of Warner Bros.

Lee Hays and Pete Seeger would play pivotal Civil Rights Movement roles as well], Maria Muldaur, Gordon Lightfoot, Richie Lee Jones, James Taylor, and others. He was an A&R rep [“responsible for talent scouting and overseeing the artistic development of recording artists and/or songwriters” as well as “overseeing the recording process” and “assisting with marketing and promotion”], and was responsible for building much of the Warner Bros. Records, Reprise Records, and DreamWorks Records, rosters with talent including...Neil Young. Waronker also ran Warner Bros. Records with Mo Ostin** (a good friend of Beatles bandmember George Harrison. George Harrison is known for his artistic collaborations with Bob Dylan from the 1960s to the 1990s including touring together in the Traveling Wilburys` band whose records were released on the Warner Bros.© record label) for many years.” [** “Mo Ostin (born March 27, 1927) is an American record executive who has worked for several companies, including Verve, Reprise Records, Warner Bros.

At Reprise (where also worked record producer Jimmy Bowen whose productions included Dino, Desi & Billy starring Dean Martin’s son Dean Paul Martin, Lucille Ball’s son, Desi Arnaz, Jr. and their friend William "Billy" Hinsche [the son of a Phillipine casino owner] who is related by marriage through his sister to Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys. In the late 1960s, Billy Hinsche had worked as a session musician for The Beach Boys touring extensively with them) he was involved with such artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr. (who was also promoted by Jimmy Bowen), and the Kinks. In 1967, after a trip to the Monterey Pop Festival (organized by The Mamas and the Papas band-member John Phillips), he (Mo Ostin) signed Jimi Hendrix. Eventually he became the president of Reprise’s parent company, Warner Bros.

They are said to speak Shoshonean languages. When the Spanish arrived in the Canyon they gave these people the name "Gabrielino." The Indians left no written language so much has been derived from writings of the Spanish and study of their camp grounds and other artifacts dating back thousands of years. It is said that the Chumash lived in Topanga Canyon in aboriginal times. Some of the village sites have been dated as far back as 8,000 years. There are some great rock paintings that are believed to mark the winter solstice. At sunrise on the first day of winter, a triangular beam of light passes through a notch in the rocky overhang and falls on the concentric circles at the left of the panel. Some say that the Chumash shamans monitored the movements of the sun and its effects on the seasons and these paintings reflect these beliefs. Chumash festivals were said to have taken place around the time of the winter solstice.” – Studioclub.com. As one reads on: “There are many stories about the members of Canned Heat (which band included former Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention band-member Henry Vestine) bringing their music and energy to the canyon and played at the Old Corral (Topanga Corral). Neil Young bought a house in the Canyon, Dean Stockwell lived near by (Dean Stockwell, it is interesting to note at this time, was the son of a Walt Disney employee named Harry Stockwell, the voice of ‘The Prince’ in the Walt Disney production, Snow White and the 872

Seven Dwarves [1937 A.D.], a quite magical RKO Radio Pictures release. RKO was of course Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.’s company with which Walt Disney had signed a distribution agreement in 1935 A.D.). Bernie Leadon of the Eagles (The Eagles were themselves involved with the Church of Satan—a picture of Anton LaVey was included within their Hotel California [1976 A.D.] music album [according to actress Tuesday Weld, the Hotel California was an allusion to the Chateau Marmont hotel located on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, her residence for a number of years where took place the magic ritual hinted at in The Eagles’ song Hotel California] released by Asylum Records [this was Joni Mitchell’s record label during the 1970s as well], a subsidiary of the Warner Music Group, and distributed in the U.S. by Warner Bros. Records) lived in the Canyon and John Densmore, drummer for the Doors and Mick Fleetwood (of Fleetwood Mac) bought houses. Spanky Macfarlane and Lowell George of Little Feat moved in the canyon, and Ritchie Hayward, founding member of Little Feat, still lives there and plays in the Canyon with his No Name Band when not on tour with Little Feat. Pee Wee Crayton and Big Joe Turner brought blues to the canyon. The great band Spirit, had band members Mark Andes, Jay Ferguson and John Locke moved into the canyon and brought that bands sound to the hills. Spanky and Our Gang were a big part of the musical history of the canyon with Spanky McFarlane living in the canyon, not to mention many gigs and practices of the Eagles. Jim Morrison bought a house for his wife to live while pregnant to have and live with their son, Cliff Morrison. Cliff told me he was two years old when his famous rock icon father died. While living in the canyon a guy named Vince Furnier became Alice Cooper (who signed on to the Frank Zappa/Herb Cohen Straight Records label distributed in the U.S. by Warner Bros. Records). On Stephen Stills’ ranch (Stephen Stills, a Gerde’s Folk City and Café au Go Go Greenwich Village staple, often collaborated with musician Neil Young in the band Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) in the canyon the likes of Eric Clapton, Jim Messina to Neil Young and more names that you can shake a stick at were there making music. From the picture on the Topanga horse trail on the Byrds’ Notorious Byrd Brothers album cover and much more Byrd, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young music was made and born in this famous hold out known as Topanga Canyon. The honky tonk that gave a venue and helped in the rise of the music from the canyon was called Topanga Corral and was located on Horseshoe Bend at 2034 Topanga Canyon Blvd., and became a "happening" place (as in performance art ‘Happenings’) in the mid-sixties. Ral Curran bought the site of the Old Corral after it burned and names like the Eagles, the Flying Burrito Brothers, John Lee Hooker, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Taj Mahal and many others played there through the seventies, there are pictures of George Harrison (of The Beatles) and the Rolling Stones hanging out at the Corral, then the Corral burned again in 1988, and it was the end of the road house (a nickname for the Topanga Corral) history in the Canyon (although May Day in Topanga Canyon can still be a very witchy experience to this day).” http://studioclub.com/Travel/TopangaCanyon.htm. In essence, Topanga Canyon and the Topanga Corral was a Warner Brothers production—as was Charlie Manson himself. (****Other films produced at Spahn Movie Ranch while it was being inhabited by the murderous Manson Family include the 1969 A.D. film The Fabulous Bastard from Chicago [starring Star Trek actor Richard Compton and grind-house film actress Bambi Allen (Bambi Allen appears with Russ Tamblyn** in the Al Adamson directed-film Satan’s Sadists also filmed in 1969 A.D.).

The Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang is a group notoriously known for their involvement in drug sales as well as for its Satanic inclinations. This no doubt explains the Hell’s Angels’ association with Ken Kesey and company and the reason for the Hell’s Angels presence at so many Acid Test parties and other such music concerts where drugs are always prevalent. Bikers did in fact control the HaightAshbury LSD market (a brief history of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club is in fact in order. The Hell’s Angels motorcycle club [originally founded in 1948 A.D. by OSS and other American military Intelligence officers, today it boasts of more than one hundred chapters spread over 29 countries including London, England] received its name from a suggestion by Arvid Olson who was an associate of Hell’s Angels motorcycle club founders. Arvid Olson had served in the Flying Tigers "Hells Angels" squadron in China during World War II [this squadron derived its name from the Howard Hughes’ film entitled Hell’s Angels [1930 A.D.] starring Jean Harlow]. Another member of the Flying Tigers "Hells Angels" squadron of note was an ‘Ace’ pilot named Charles Older who after World War II earned himself a law degree, became a California judge and was appointed to the bench of the Los Angeles Superior Court by then California Governor Ronald Reagan in 1967 A.D. [Ronald Reagan himself had acted alongside John Cassavetes, the star of Roman Polanski’s 1968 A.D. film, Rosemary’s Baby, in the 1964 A.D. film, The Killers], later to be hand chosen to preside over the murder trial of mass murderer Charles Manson who was duly convicted in the murder of Roman Polanski’s wife Sharon Tate. Speaking of small worlds… “It never hurts,” as the old saying goes, “to have a man on the inside.”). It is also important to note the Weather Underground operated their bomb making factory out of a safe house in Greenwich Village the previous owner of which was Merrill Lynch brokerage firm founder Charles Merrill and his son, the poet James Merrill. James Merrill was, as we learn from Wikipedia: “…author of The Changing Light at Sandover (1982), (which) documents two decades of messages dictated from otherworldly spirits during Ouija séances (which would have begun in the early 1960s) hosted by Merrill and his (homosexual life) partner David Noyes Jackson.” Of course the elephant in the room is the fact that so many players in our enchanting little drama were gay and/or gay rights activists as well as being 874

Spiritualists/practitioners of magic. Greenwich Village in New York City was where many such homosexuals had congregated (as was similarly the case with San Francisco, CA, many even jet-setting between both areas. Notably enough Church of Satan-member/Temple of Set-founder Michael A. Aquino, an Army Intelligence officer, is a former employee [circa 1969 A.D.] of the Merrill Lynch brokerage firm [See The Church of Satan by Michael A. Aquino]). It should be remembered Greenwich Village was the headquarters of Aleister Crowley’s OTO magic order which he had established therein when first he had graced our American shores and he would additionally establish a lodge on the opposite coast in California as well. Crowley OTO magic rituals included sex-magic rituals involving both hetero and homosexual rites, providing yet another motive for the Illuminati’s avowed intention to entirely destroy Christianity—the Roman Catholic Church was along with most other Christian creeds vehemently anti-gay/anti-gay marriage, and remains so even today. At any rate, until 1973 A.D. homosexuality was regarded as a criminal mental disorder (in 1952 A.D., the American Psychiatric Association [APA] would release its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [DSM] which classified homosexuality as a “sociopathic personality disorder” coupled with “sexual deviation,” deeming homosexual relations to be a criminal offense for which homosexuals were often jailed), and prior to the 1970s, in most states, one was even liable to be arrested for being involved in homosexual relations under prevailing U.S. Sodomy laws (under which a condemned homosexual was automatically deemed a criminal sexual deviant), and not a few Hollywood careers were effectually destroyed when accusations of homosexuality had come to light. Indeed, some 14 U.S. states continue to carry various Sodomy laws upon their statute books to this very day. (Pertinent Quote from Those in the Know: “It is possible to link homosexuality with religion and magical practices all through the world… The list of cases in all countries connecting homosexuality with sorcery and priesthood can go on indefinitely… In primitive religions, the ceremonies were largely sexual and even homosexual… Homosexual rites…were associated most strongly with…occult powers… Persecution of the homosexual throughout the Christian era stems mostly from a dislike of his connection with heresy rather than of his direct aversion to social standards. The secular persecutions were only offshoots of the original religious persecutions… these people [magic-practicing homosexuals]…unite now in bitterness, in order to wreak a vengeance on the society that has rejected them…” – The Complete Art of Witchcraft by Sybil Leek, 1971 A.D. This ‘union’ today takes the form of the so-called Gay Mafia whose defacto head is said to be the openly gay former Warner Bros.© vice-chairman/William Morris Agency client/DreamWorks co-founder David Geffen).

Beginning in the 1980s, the HIV/AIDS epidemic everywhere dealing death and destruction would sweep like a Biblical plague through gay populations in America laying waste to many gay sex-magic/Gay Witchcraft/Gay Wicca practicing members of the homosexual communities in Hollywood, San Francisco and Greenwich Village, claiming many magically-inclined homosexual individuals including Wicca witch Raymond Buckland’s homosexual friend Scott Cunningham [Wiccan author of a number of books on the subject of witchcraft including Living Wicca], a magic initiate of occultist Raven Grimassi. Authoring more than 50 books on the subject of Witchcraft, Cunnimgham had been described as one of the most influential propounders of the Wicca witchcraft religion. For a taste of the promiscuous homosexual proclivities shared by so many of the magical individuals who appear 875

within our story (including many Navy personnel in general), see Memoirs of a Bastard Angel: A Fifty-Year Literary and Erotic Odyssey by homosexual poet/author Harold Norse which chronicles Norse’s own life and literary career (as well as in some cases his own personal homosexual sexual experiences) with W.H. Auden (Harold Norse at one time had served as Auden’s personal ‘secretary’), W.H. Auden’s homosexual lover Chester Kallman (Kallman was a personal friend of Harold Norse known for his musical collaborations with W.H. Auden who had served as Kallman’s homosexual ‘sugar daddy.’ Kallman in a like way also collaborated with composer Igor Stravinsky, an attendee of the Samson De Brier magic salon, as well), E.E. Cummings, Robert Graves (occultist friend of British Intelligence agent T.E. Laurence), British spy Aleister Crowley’s homosexual friend Christopher Isherwood, Dylan Thomas (a good friend of Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner Victor Neuburg), gay playwright Tennessee Williams (a friend of homosexual artist Andy Warhol and homosexual filmmaker Kenneth Anger), poet William Carlos Williams, homosexual Beat poet William S. Burroughs, Burrough’s gay Beat poet friends Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, James Baldwin, Charles Bukowski, Paul Bowles and the bi-sexual author Anais Nin. For a broader view, see also The Yage Letters (1963 A.D.) co-authored by William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg composed of ‘Dear Al/Love, Bill’-type correspondences detailing William S. Burroughs’ entheogenic magic quest during a trip he took to Columbia in South America in 1953 A.D. where he explicitly engaged in NAMBLA-style homosexual pedophilia sex-tourism (Allen Ginsberg was himself a later North American Man Boy Love Association [NAMBLA] member, an organization promoting sexual relations between older men and younger boys as founded by gay rights activist David Thorsdad]). For additional information, see also the underground classic Witchcraft and the Gay Counterculture by N.Y. gay activist/ Columbia University doctor of philosophy Arthur Evans, 1978 A.D. which explores: “…the intimate connection between Gay men, heresy and witchcraft.” The history of the modern gay rights movement is indeed wedded to the history of the modern witchcraft tradition in America. It would seem the Laurel Canyon Log Cabin was one of the properties owned by the Solar Lodge OTO (or perhaps even the CIA, which in all probability represented one and the same organization). The Log Cabin itself was a stately mansion with guest house situated like a sentinel guarding the way to one of the nation’s foremost of secret locales, the Log Cabin located in the very heart of Laurel Canyon at the strategic crossroads of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Lookout Mountain Avenue along which path one had to necessarily travel to arrive at the super-secretive Lookout Mountain Laboratory (a location made all the more magically significant considering it was traditionally where “…at the cross-roads witches from all the world over assemble for their sabbat.” – The Vampire: Their Kith and Kin pp.156-157, and again as R. Campbell Thompson explains in Semitic Magic: Its Origins and Development p.51: “…the cross-roads is always a place for magic.” For their every rhyme there is a reason, cold and carefully calculated). Hollywood’s Young Turks OTO members no doubt named the Log Cabin (it being neither a cabin nor was it constructed of logs) after Horace Greeley’s abolitionist newspaper similarly named the Log Cabin. Horace Greeley in fact was also the publisher of the Carbonari’s Young America Youth Movement newspaper, the New York Tribune, 876

whose foreign correspondents included Julius Fröbel, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, all members of the radical Prussian left-wing revolutionary Young Hegelians (aka Young Germany) Youth Movement group. Given the Youth Movement’s historical penchant for assassinations, it is not outside the realm of possibilities that certain members of the Young Turks Laurel Canyon group was in some way involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and of his brother U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy [JFK was the first ever Roman Catholic president and it was roundly believed the Roman Catholic Church would thereby control the United States—you can see how this could irk those individuals with an Illuminati/destruction of Christianity bent; even JFK like so many in our story had ties to Navy Intelligence during World War II (See p.261 Sins of the Father)]. Robert Kennedy himself was murdered by a Pasadena resident named Sirhan Sirhan, a known AMORC member (Sirhan Sirhan was, as has since been discovered, an “OTO cultist” as well. See p.88 Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare by Michael A. Hoffman II). AMORC is essentially a sister organization to the OTO which did in fact operate

a lodge in Pasadena (recall AMORC founder Dr. H. Spencer Lewis was himself in contact with Aleister Crowley [Crowley had in fact worked for both British and American Intelligence agencies] and the Ordo Templi Orientis [OTO] which I should think shines a light on the Kennedy assassination itself; it would seem elements of these organizations were ultimately responsible. Sirhan Sirhan himself claimed an Illuminati affiliation and makes mention in his diary of his “Master Kuthumi,” one of the Theosophical Society’s names for Azazel [Pertinent Quote: “The first book Sirhan requested in jail was The Secret Doctrine, Madame Blavatsky’s treatise…” – p.199 The Cosmic Question by John A. Keel]). Non-coincidentally enough (I say ‘noncoincidentally’ as there is no such thing as coincidence—but only the ‘synchronicity’ of events caused by the machinations of Overshadowing fallen angels and their wholly human lackeys): “In May ’68 Roman Polanski attended the Cannes Film Festival. At the same time the students of France (an anarchist youth movement group) revolted and nearly toppled the government (Jacques Vallee [accused by some of being a government agent] also non-coincidentally enough happened to have had relocated to Paris in the months prior to this student uprising; the May, 1968 A.D. uprising in France was one of a large number of worldwide campus youth movement protests which took place in 1968 A.D. (known as the Protests of 1968: “The protests of 1968 comprised a worldwide series of protests, largely participated in by students and workers.” – Wikipedia: Protests of 1968), very Illuminati-like in scope and nature beginning 120 years from the date of the Carbonari’s Revolutions of 1848. Student revolts took place in the US, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Mexico and many other countries: “It was the prelude to the biggest offensive by the international working [Labour] class since the end of the Second World War. This offensive lasted seven years, assumed on a number of occasions revolutionary forms, forced the resignation of governments, brought down dictatorships and rocked the system of bourgeois rule to its foundations. This was most apparent in France when in May 1968 10 million workers [leftist Labor union members] took part in a general strike, occupied factories and brought the government of General Charles de Gaulle to its knees. In 1969 the so-called September strikes took place in Germany, and Italy underwent a "hot autumn" of industrial confrontations. The US saw mass antiwar demonstrations by the civil rights movement and rebellions in inner-city ghettos. In Poland and Czechoslovakia the Prague Spring workers revolted against 877

the Stalinist dictatorship. In the 1970s, right-wing dictatorships were toppled in Greece, Spain and Portugal. During the same period, the US army suffered a humiliating defeat in Vietnam… The wave of international protests, strikes and rebellions left their mark. In a series of countries, wages and working conditions improved often to a considerable extent… At the end of the 1970s the counteroffensive began. Margaret Thatcher came to power in Great Britain, Ronald Reagan in the US and Helmut Kohl in Germany. Social concessions were reversed and attacks on the working class intensified [in America during the 1980s, Reagan labored furiously to bust the worker’s Labor unions].” - 1968: The general strike and the student revolt in France by Peter Schwarz). Polanski, in solidarity, resigned from the festival jury (which brings to mind my old distaff saying: “Wherever the Illuminati go, the revolutions are you know.”). Less than a month later, on June 5, 1968, Roman (Polanski) and Sharon Tate (Sharon Tate, an actress who has appeared in no less than 15 episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies [the head editor for which was Dann Cahn, a former member of General ‘Hap’ Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit], was an OTO witch [who was initiated by British witch Alex Sanders who himself had ties to British spy Aleister Crowley] whose father was a high-ranking Army Intelligence officer (interestingly enough, Sharon Tate’s Beverly Hillbillies co-actor Max “Jethro” Baer, Jr. was the son of actor Max Baer who appears in the film Africa Screams [1949 A.D.] with actor/circus owner Clyde Beatty with whose circus Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey had been employed); Sharon Tate’s first major film role was the 1966 A.D. Filmways-executive Martin Ransohoff-produced occult-themed thriller Eye of the Devil [in which Tate plays the role of a ‘beautiful witch’] starring British Intelligence officer/actor David Niven as directed by former WWII RAF officer J. Lee Thompson) and friends dined with Robert Kennedy (the highly popular pro-civil rights, anti-Vietnam War 1968 A.D. Democratic presidential candidate; Michael Aquino of the Church of Satan was a pro-Nazi, pro-Vietnam War ‘psychological warfare’ [Psyops] officer [as he duly explains in The Church of Satan p.46] whose members specialize in political assassinations it may or may not be helpful at this time to note) at a beach house in Malibu (Malibu is located at the base of Topanga Canyon. This was the beach house of director John Frankenheimer. John Frankenheimer was an associate of aforementioned Britsh Intelligence agentturned-actor David Niven who stars in the Frankenheimer-directed film, The Extraordinary Seaman filmed in 1967 A.D. though for whatever reason was not to be released until 1969 A.D.). After dinner, Senator Kennedy was driven to the Ambassador Hotel** where he was shot (read: where he was assassinated with a bullet to the head by AMORC member Sirhan Sirhan, paving the way for the election of Republican President Richard Nixon [Nixon was a close associate of Yale Skull and Bones-member/Republican Senator Prescott Bush who had served as a political mentor to Republican politician Richard Nixon; Prescott Bush was father/grandfather of the Republican Presidents Bush I (former CIA Director/VicePresident under President Ronald Reagan [Pertinent Quote: “Michael Aquino (a high-ranking NSA officer) openly associated with men like President Ronald Reagan at the White House.” – Illuminati Mind Control by Cisco Wheeler]) and Bush II] and eventually to the Watergate wiretap scandal perpetuated by amongst others a former Navy vet/OSS/CIA agent named E. Howard Hunt,*** the personal assistant of MKULTRA-architect Allen Dulles [the CIA had wiretapped the Democratic National Committee headquarters to insure the election of President Nixon who later 878

resigned in disgrace when these facts were subsequently made public. Seems there was little the CIA wouldn’t do to insure Nixon’s presidency]; E. Howard Hunt** supervised William F. Buckley, Jr. who worked for the CIA as Station Chief in Mexico in the early 1950s and was involved in a number of foreign coups in places such as Guatamala and Iran. William F. Buckley, Jr. (founder of the modern Conservative movement and its literary arm, the National Review) was a Bohemian Club/Yale Skull and Bones/CFR member and a close personal friend of Bohemian Club member and former Governor of California, Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, whose Vice-President was Bohemian Grove/Skull and Bones/CFR member George H.W. Bush, who succeeded Ronald Reagan as president; that the Republican party is the party of the CIA is also apparent in the person of George H.W. Bush who served for a time as CIA Director [William F. Buckley, Jr. was president at its founding of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (an educational pillar of the conservative Republican party whose chairman, Chicago publisher Alfred S. Regnery [amongst the books Regnery and his father have published through Regnery Publishing are books authored by various Republican party politicians, UFO-themed books authored by Jack Parsons’ friend Jacques Vallee, and books authored by T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound] received a presidential appointment by Ronald Reagan) founded by Frank Chodorov, director of the Henry George School of Social Science located at 121 East 30th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City (still in existence today [with branches in Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Massachusetts], John Dewey served as the school’s first Honorary President) whose magazine The Freeman published articles submitted by John Dewey, George Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell] . With Bush’s ascension to

the presidency, the CIA (and through it, the OTO) directly controlled the country. Bush then wasted no time in publicly announcing the onset of the mystical New World Order [central to which was the United Nations to which Bush had served as ambassador]).” - p.86 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D. As the saying goes, ‘Once an Agency man, always an Agency man.’ Apparently the pro-civil rights presidential candidate Robert Kennedy was a victim of inside information (Vietnam War protester/civil rights movement leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was likewise assassinated in 1968 A.D.). Did Army Intelligence have a hand in the murder of a likely presidential campaign winner who would have put an end to their beloved Vietnam War and the big-money contracts which accompanied it, or the CIA who would have then have lost complete control of the presidency, or possibly both organizations, working in tandem through secret societies, seeing as how Army Intelligence worked in partnership with the CIA under MKULTRA (which likewise worked with British Intelligence in this endeavor)? One may only speculate, though the Kennedys had in fact sought to reign in the power of both the CIA and its Mafia associates, to end the Vietnam War and to grant Civil Rights to African Americans. (** The Ambassador Hotel where Robert Kennedy was assassinated was home to the famous Coconut Grove nightclub, scene to a number of early Academy Award ceremonies during the 1930s and ’40s. Long term residents at the hotel have included Howard Hughes, Jean Harlow, John Barrymore and Gloria Swanson, and every U.S. President from Herbert Hoover to Richard Nixon had also stayed and played there as well). (***E. Howard Hunt it is interesting to note would pen a curious little book on the subject of witchcraft entitled The Coven [1973 A.D.], perhaps in itself a classic example of fact masquerading as fiction. According to the book cover, The Coven is “A sensational novel of Washington intrigue and witchcraft by Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt writing as David St. John.” 879

The story is about a murdered witch [much like Sharon Tate] and a “senator with presidential ambitions”[much like Sharon Tate’s friend, Senator/presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy] who “had a special interest in her. A very special interest.” Perhaps E. Howard Hunt’s story contains a bit of truth, the names being changed to protect the not so innocent) Polanski’s wife Sharon Tate, a murdered OTO witch who had personally known Robert Kennedy, he being decidedly a ‘senator with presidential ambitions,’ along with a number of her own friends, were murdered by members of the Manson Family, ordered to do so by Charles Manson. Who ordered Charlie to do so is anyone’s conjecture. Perhaps Overshadowing angels. Perhaps this bunch had simply known too much. Manson Family murder victim Abigail Folger had donated both time and money to Senator Robert Kennedy’s presidential campaign, though at any rate, Sharon Tate was expected to be away visiting with friends on the horrorfilled night of the Manson Family murders. At the very last moment she decided she would stay home. Or so the story goes. Another Manson Family murder victim, Jay Sebring, was the man whose girlfriend, namely Sharon Tate, Roman Polanski had reportedly stolen, impregnated and married (See p.84 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D.), though these were the magical Swinging Sixties and ‘swinging’ and free love has been a mainstay of sex-magic practices since time immemorial. Had not Jack Parsons lost his own wife to his magical partner L. Ron Hubbard in this very same way. In California as elsewhere, ‘swinging’ and ‘sex-magic’ went hand in promiscuous hand. Tate family friend Jay Sebring, a Navy vet and hairstylist to the stars as it turns out is quite the interesting character: “Frank Sinatra (who was bald and wore a toupѐ) used to fly (Jay) Sebring to Las Vegas to cut his hair” (See p.234 The Family by Ed Sanders) and “Actors and singers and business men used to play chess in Sebring’s shop (in Hollywood).” – Ibid p.234 (Clients of Sebring included Laurel Canyon resident Jim Morrison of The Doors, the son of a Navy admiral. Jay Sebring had in fact received national celebrity status as hairdresser to the stars). Either $50 haircuts were all the rage in the 1960s (1/10th the price of a brand new car) or perhaps Sebring was a drug mule/dealer for the mob. Jay Sebring had also owned a shop in San Francisco (as well as New York and London), and kept a houseboat in San Francisco Bay where the career US Army Intelligence officer Lt. Col. Paul Tate father of murdered actress Sharon Tate stayed whenever he came to San Francisco (See p.234 The Family by Ed Sanders), a testimony to their close friendship (or, rather, perhaps, their Intelligence associations). Jay Sebring, a member of Anton LaVey’s OTO-associated Church of Satan (whose membership roles contained numerous high-ranking members of Army Intelligence, including Michael A. Aquino), was a friend of OTO-witch Sharon Tate and of her husband, French film maker Roman Polanski and was a staple of the Polanski circle of friends which frequented the Polanski’s mystical manor, as was a man named Voityck Frykowski (Frykowski appears in Roman Polanski’s short film Mammals), a house guest at the Polanski home who along with Jay Sebring and Sharon Tate would be visciouly slaughtered in a “witchy” way by members of the murderous Manson Family, certain murderous members of which had close associations to the Church of Satan itself. To quote OTO-member Ed Sanders: “…several friends from Canada promised him (Frykowki) samples of a new drug called Methlenedioxyl-amphetamine or MDA, a 880

euphoric stimulant with overtones of aphrodisia that was coming into vogue. According to police reports, Frykowski was being set up to serve as a wholesaler of quantities of MDA manufactured in Toronto. Both Mr. Frykowski and Miss (Abigail) Folger (another Manson Family murder victim) were enjoying MDA on the night they died (MDA: “…is mainly used as a recreational drug, an entheogen [used in Shamanic magic rituals], and a tool in use to supplement various types of practices for transcendence, including in meditation, psychonautics, and as an agent in psychedelic psychotherapy.” – Wikipedia: MDA). In mid-July (of 1969 A.D.) Frykowki’s friends from Canada went to Ocho Rios, Jamaica allegedly to create some sort of movie project which was a front for a large marijuana import operation (note well this modus operandi of using film making pursuits as covers for smuggling operations) involving private planes secretly winging the dope to the United States via Florida and Mexico (possibly as part of the CIA-associated Brotherhood of Eternal Love organization). Investigations into the operation after the (Tate) murders resulted in one of the biggest dope busts in Jamaican history (in 1971 A.D.).” – pp.232-3 The Family by Ed Sanders. Something was certainly amiss, for within the month members of the American connection of this drug dealing operation would be lying dead in the enchanted residence of Hollywood film director Roman Polanski (the house itself was owned by Navy vet Rudi Altobelli [a man who had also met Charles Manson at Beach Boys member Dennis Wilson’s home] who served as U.S. Navy Intelligence officer-turned-actor Henry Fonda’s business manager. Jay Sebring was a Navy vet as well). And the ‘false flag attack’ was designed to look as if pro-civil rights black revolutionaries were perpetrators of the crime shades of the Boston Tea Party (as Maury Terry relates in The Ultimate Evil p.599: “Frykowski was the motive. He had stung his own suppliers for a fair amount of money [as noted in The Family p.335, the murders at the Tate residence was the result of a drug burn involving an MDA drug sale as well, with the Family’s Linda Kasabian being burned for the sum of $1,000] and that didn’t go down well at all with the people at the top of the drug scene here [and one of these ‘people at the top of the drug scene’ was an “Israeli who had strong links to the international intelligence community,” a U.S. CIA/Israeli Intelligence asset. According to investigative reporter Maury Terry, this man: “…had ties, in the form of funding, to the upscale, self-awareness Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California” (Ibid p.598) which itself had known CIA associations and was likewise known to have been CIA funded. Some of the Esalen Institute’s funding was provided by this drug-dealing Intelligence agent (Ibid p. 604), the CIA often using drug sales to fund their ‘black ops’ Intelligence operations]. And to make it worse, he (Frykowski) was upsetting the structure of the (largely CIA-supplied) LSD marketplace by dealing independently. He was a renegade.” And he would be murdered by the associates of a man who himself had ties to the CIA-funded Esalen Institute—one Charles Manson. In fact, Charles Manson had visited the Esalen Institute just a few days prior to these murders). The shooting of Bernard Crowe by Charles Manson was drug related, and Manson has said that the Gary Hinman murder was also tied to drugs, that Hinman was killed because he had known too much. As we learn from Ed Sanders: “Hinman had a small setup at his house (in Topanga Canyon) where he made quantities of synthetic mescaline. A young married couple who lived with Gary (Hinman) right up to several days before his death were partners with him in the manufacture of the mescaline… Gary had a degree in chemistry.” 881

Perhaps his partners were in fact forewarned. Charles Manson himself concurred: “Gary manufactured mescaline. He had a small lab in his house, and given enough time, he would provide us with any amount needed” – p.187 Manson in His Own Words, facts which would seem to suggest Charles Manson was involved in filling other people’s drug orders (according to one ex-member of the Solar Lodge OTO, Solar Lodge OTO members were employed in the manufacture of drugs and it may be Hinman and/or this couple were themselves Solar Lodge OTO members as well). It would additionally seem Solar Lodge OTO-member Charles Manson was one of the “middlemen” who picked up drugs from a chain of associated secret laboratories engaged in illegal narcotics production who would then convey the drugs to biker gang members such as the Hell’s Angels and Straight Satans “…who controlled most of the street-level distribution of chemical narcotics in the L.A. area at the time” (See p.598 The Ultimate Evil by Maury Terry. One of the leaders of the Straight Satans, Danny De Carlo, even lived with Charles Manson at the Manson Family commune [and as many Hell’s Angels members were employed as longshoreman, no doubt this aided in international drug smuggling efforts as well. Many concerts held by bands who are mentioned within our story were held at Longshoremen’s Hall in San Francisco, home to the San Francisco local of the International Longshoreman and Warehouse Union (wherefrom drugs would then be transferred out of the hall hidden in band members’ equipment—rock bands and drug smuggling often go hand in dubey-ous hand), which no doubt at the time had major Mafia connections which situation in fact had first given rise to the Operation Underworld NavyMafia partnership during WWII. It would appear these individuals were Operation Underworld participants]). It would also seem this was the set-up in many other towns and cities along the California coast and in the port city of San Francisco as well, particularly in the Haight-Ashbury area itself. As we learn from Maury Terry: “On the night of the (Tate) killings…a man named Joel Rostau, the boyfriend of an employee of (Manson Family murder victim Jay) Sebring’s, delivered some drugs to (the Tate residence at) 10050 Cielo Drive. Rostau would be murdered in New York about fifteen months later, and another of Sebring’s associates would be slain in Florida about a month after that. The name of that game was narcotics, not Helter Skelter” (“Manson himself has alleged that the ‘true’ motive remains secret, that a major scandal would erupt if it was revealed”). – p.596 The Ultimate Evil. Hollywood has long been (as Hollywood-screenwriter Berthold Brecht had at once most famously exclaimed): “…the world center of the narcotics trade.” (As revealed by David Comfort in The Rock and Roll Book of the Dead: “Jim Morrison [one of Manson Family murder victim Jay Sebring’s most famous clients] and Charlie Manson traveled in the same circles. Both were friends of Dennis Wilson. Both were acquaintances of Arthur Lee, too. The genius junkie outlaw [Arthur Lee], a close buddy of Jimi Hendrix as well, lived with his group, Love, in Bela Legosi’s, Dracula’s, haunt—The Castle [the Castle La Paloma located in Hollywood Hills]. The Castle was a trysting place for L.A.’s alpha rock crazies. Jim [Morrison] dropped by regularly. So, reportedly, did Charlie [Manson]…An early resident of The Castle was Bobby ‘Cupid’ Beausoliel, a member of…[Arthur Lee’s band] Love. In 1966, Cupid [Bobby Beausoliel] left Love to join Manson’s fledgling rock band, The Milky Way [in 1966 A.D., Love would sign a recording contract with Elektra Records which was owned and operated by the Warner Music Group (formerly Warner Brothers Records). Jim Morrison was also under contract with Elektra Records, and Jimi Hendrix was also recording under the Warner Music Group’s Reprise Records record label. So Arthur Lee’s home to be more precise was a ‘trysting place’ for Warner Bros.©-associated ‘alpha rock crazies’]. The group [Charlie Manson’s rock band, The Milky Way] played only one gig. The venue: The Corral in Topanga Canyon where Canned Heat, Spirit, Little Feat, Neil Young [a friend of Dennis Wilson and a known associate of various Manson Family members whose good friend Dean Stockwell had been a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge] and other locals jammed [all also being rock bands and musicians with Warner Bros.© connections]. [Jim] Morrison was a regular here too...” It was there in fact in Topanga Canyon where Jim Morrison had made his home. Topanga Canyon had also been the canyon home of Kabalist artist Wallace Berman 882

since 1965 A.D., and Dennis Hopper, a collector of Wallace Berman’s art works, would give Berman a small role in his 1968 A.D. film Easy Rider, the soundtrack album of which was later distributed surprise surprise by Warner’s Reprise Records. Topanga Canyon itself it turns out had quite extensive Warner Bros.© connections)

These goings on at Topanga Canyon were all a part of the socalled Topanga-Venice Scene: “Throughout the 1950s, Charles Brittin was the unofficial house photographer for the Beat community that coalesced around seminal artist Wallace Berman, who lived with his family in Beverly Glen (a predominantly wealthy neighborhood located around Beverly Glen Boulevard, to the north of Sunset Boulevard, in Los Angeles, CA; one may travel W. Sunset Boulevard nearly all the way to Topanga Canyon itself). While his friends were scattered about the city (of Los Angeles), it was to Brittin’s apartment in Venice Beach that they gravitated (located on the west side of Los Angeles, Venice Beach was a low rent district which in the 1940s and 1950s attracted a large number of European immigrants, Jewish Holocaust survivors and young Beatnik counterculture artists, poets, and writers)… In 1951 the Iowa native had dropped out of UCLA and moved into a modest Venice beach shack (on the Pacific shore on Venice Beach itself) where he maintained an open-door policy: Friends were welcome around the clock, and among those who turned up were actors Dean Stockwell (a former member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge)—best known for his brilliantly bizarre cameo in (occultist) David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (a 1986 A.D. film co-starring Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern, daughter of actor Bruce Dern [Bruce MacLeish Dern’s greatuncle was none other than American poet/spy Archibald MacLeish] and actress Diane Ladd [Diane Ladd was a second cousin to playwright Tennessee Williams, Tennessee Williams being a friend of OTO-member Kenneth Anger. Both Kenneth Anger and Dennis Hoper were attendees of the same Samson De Brier magic salon attended by OTO-lodge leader Jack Parsons]; Laura Dern was the great-granddaughter of George Dern [who was Bruce Dern’s grandfather], Secretary of War under U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt during WWII—poet/writer Librarian of Congress/American spy Archibald MacLeish was her great-uncle); Dennis Hopper (whose own father, Jay Hopper, had served as a WWII OSS spy and was as well a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge); several people associated with L.A.’s legendary Ferus Gallery—including John Altoon, Walter 883

Hopps and Bob Alexander, poet David Meltzer; and quite a few stunning women…” – California Style©: Charles Brittin’s Mid-Century Images Recall a Simple, More Poetic Era by Kristine Mckenna, April 6, 2011 A.D. (Dean Stockwell’s friend Charles Brittin would in the late 1960s be staff photographer at the Eames Office of American furniture designer Charles and Ray [Bernice] Eames [most famous as creators of the Eames Chair, though less well known as a designer of splints and stretchers for the U.S. Navy during WWII], friends of film actor/director Billy Wilder. Billy Wilder was amongst the group of German Jews who would flee Wiemar Republic Germany for Paris, France to escape the gathering Nazi menace during the late 1920s and who eventually end up in the Hollywood film industry during the 1930s. Among the films Billy Wilder has directed to critical acclaim is Sunset Boulevard [1950 A.D.] starring fellow German Jewish actor/director Erich von Stroheim, former WWII U.S. Army Air Force member-turned-actor Jack Webb [Jack Webb stars in the U.S. Defense Department’s Cold War-era ant-Communist Warner Bros.©distributed propaganda training film Red Nightmare (1962 A.D.). Note that the Warner Bros.©’s Defense Department partnership continued in the post-WWII era into the Cold War, Korean War and Vietnam War-eras] and RKO founder Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.’s very witchy girlfriend, former Essaney Studios actress Gloria Swanson (Gloria Swanson appears in the 1929 A.D. Erich von Stroheim-directed/Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.-produced film Queen Kelly at which time she and Kennedy were lovers [Erich von Stroheim was fired from this film by Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. prior to its completion and as a one-time member of the Communist Party would later be hauled before the House Un-American Activities Committee]). Billy Wilder connects to Dennis Hopper [whose father Jay Hopper along with actor John Carradine and Dean Stockwell was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge] through their mutual friend, actor Vincent Price [Vincent Price appears with John Carradine in The Monster Club (1980 A.D.) and The House of the Long Shadows (1983 A.D.). A common denominator between individuals connected to Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan and Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge is Anton LaVey’s friend Forrest J Ackerman, editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland, a fanzine founded in 1958 A.D. and featuring interviews by horror film acting legends including Vincent Price and John Carradine]—Dennis Hopper had served as Vincent Price’s apprentice with Vincent Price acting as Dennis Hopper’s mentor (like Dennis Hopper, Vincent Price was quite the patron of the arts, and in addition to being an actor/director, Hopper, like his grandmother, was additionally an artist), before landing his contract [no doubt through Vincent Price’s own Hollywood contacts] with Warner Bros©. Dennis Hopper had been a one-time actor in the Pasadena Playhouse theatrical group [See Chapter 1 Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride of a Hollywood Rebel by Peter L. Winkler, 2011 A.D.] from whose theatrical school graduated a number of well known Hollywood actors. During the 1960s, Vincent Price himself would star in no less that seven low-budget Roger Corman/AIP horror films (including Tales of Terror [1962 A.D.] alongside British spy/actor Basil Rathbone [Rathbone also appears in the Curtis Harrington directed/Roger Corman produced film Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965 A.D.)] and Dennis Hopper [Basil Rathbone and Dennis Hopper appear in the Curtis Harrington directed/Roger Corman produced film Queen of Blood (1966 A.D.)] and Bruce Dern would appear in Roger Corman’s 1967 A.D., The Trip) filmed in association with Corman’s Army Intelligence cameraman Floyd Crosby** whose son David Crosby was a member of Neil Young’s band, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (it was just to the north of Venice Beach in Santa Monica where was located Roger Corman’s Concorde/New Horizons Studio production facility, and where as well I might add, British Intelligence agent Gerald Heard’s own home, was located). It was there at Vincent Price’s Beverly Glen home where Dennis Hopper would meet Chuinard Art Institute attendee/artist William Brice, son of (RKO-associated) Ziegfeld Follies actress Fanny Brice (mother-in-law of producer Ray Stark [co-producer with John Huston of the 1967 A.D. Warner Bros.-Seven Arts© film Reflections in a Golden Eye starring Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando]; any relation to Ron Stark?) and convicted criminal Nicky Arnstein, a close ‘business associate’ of Arnold Rothstein, also 884

known as Mr. Big, who as we learn from Wikipedia was at various times: “…a loan shark, bookmaker, fence, Wall Street swindler, real estate speculator, and labor racketeer who was best known for fixing the 1919 World Series.” Concerning the Jewish New York mobster Arnold Rothstein: “With the advent of Prohibition, Rothstein saw the opportunities for business; he diversified into bootlegging and narcotics. Liquor was brought in by smuggling along the Hudson River (which runs through New York state), as well as from Canada across the Great Lakes and into upstate New York. Rothstein also purchased holdings in a number of speakeasies. With his banking support, and high-level Jewish political connections (connections including Enoch L. Johnson, the corrupt Republican party ‘boss’ of the political machine that controlled Atlantic City, NJ [and as such Johnson was responsible for the election of a number of governors and U.S. Senators including camera man Floyd Crosby’s politico relative New Jersey Senator Hamilton Kean Fish] who was later in 1939 A.D. sentenced to 10 years in prison for tax evasion), Rothstein soon managed to end-run Tammany Hall to the street gangs (Atlantic City was a major port through which flowed bootleg whiskey and Johnson received a cut of each and every gallon. Enoch L. Johnson would host the 1929 A.D. Atlantic City Conference of national organized crime leaders which included Al Capone. Along with his profits, Johnson’s power would wane with the repeal of Prohibition in 1933 A.D. A new era prohibition, the War on Drugs, would put the power back into the hands of those who controlled its illicit distribution networks, namely, the CIA). Subsequently, his criminal organization included such underworld notables as Meyer Lansky, Jack ‘Legs’ Diamond, Charles ‘Lucky’ Luciano, and Dutch Schultz…” – Wikipedia: Arnold Rothstein. If these names sound familiar, they should, seeing as though they were all Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.’s Prohibition-era Mafia ‘business partners’ in crime who aided in President John F. Kennedy’s presidential election. Now one must bear in mind that Topanga Canyon was the canyon home to a magic-practicing community of artists and musicians which included Dennis Hopper [whose father, an OSS Intelligence agent during WWII had been a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge. Dennis Hopper makes an appearance in the 1965 A.D. Hal B. Wallis-directed Western The Sons of Katie Elder with Rat Pack-member Dean Martin highlighting his Rat Pack associations], actor Dean Stockwell [who had himself also been a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge] and Kabalist artist Wallace Berman whose close circle of friends included Jack Parson’s widow, Marjorie Cameron [Marjorie Cameron’s friend OTO/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger was as a child Jack Parsons’ and Marjorie Cameron’s Pasadena neighbor, and Kenneth Anger was a friend of Manson Familymember/Church of Satan-attendee Bobby Beausoleil whose girlfriend, Manson Familymember Susan Atkens, a fellow Church of Satan-attendee, would help to murder Robert F. Kennedy’s friend (and alleged lover), the actress Sharon Tate and fellow Church of Satanmember Jay Sebring (this coming on the heels of Robert F. Kennedy’s own assassination the year prior following a dinner he attended in Malibu located at the base of Topanga Canyon following a dinner he attended amongst whose guests was Sharon Tate and her husband, film director Roman Polanski who himself had Rat Pack associations, at least one member of which was along with Jay Sebring a known Church of Satan-attendee as well)], who had herself taken part in Jack Parsons’ OTO magic rituals as an OTO member, all during which time Jack Parsons had been in contact with master magician/British spy Aleister Crowley [Aleister Crowley was part of the British spy network which partnered with the OSS during WWII, no doubt one such member of which being Dennis Hopper’s OSS agent father who was a member of Aleister Crowley’s American-based OTO lodge, the head of which was Jack Parsons]. Dennis Hopper was even a member of the same [former Essaney Studios actor] Samson De Brier magic-practicing social group to which had belonged at one time or another Jack Parsons, Marjorie Cameron, Kenneth Anger and future Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey whose Church of Satan membership rolls included Marjorie Cameron’s friend, OTOmember Kenneth Anger, with which Manson Family-member Bobby Beausoleil was likewise connected. Wallace Berman’s circle of friends also included William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. To see what can of worms this information truly conjures up turn now to Appendix 885

H) (**Many seemingly unassociated individuals within our story are in fact quite thoroughly interconnected through the personage of New York colonial official Robert Livingston the Elder [1654-1728 A.D.] whose notable descendants include cinematographer Floyd Crosby and his son David Crosby, U.S. Republican Presidents George H.W.

Descended from William, 4th Lord Livingston, its members included signers of the United States Declaration of Independence (Philip Livingston) and the United States Constitution (William Livingston)...” Robert Livingston the Elder was a brother-in-law of New York colonial governor Peter Schuyler)

Samson De Brier’s magic-group members, most specifically Dennis Hopper and Dennis Hopper’s own magical Topanga Canyon Warner Bros.© crew, would have an outsized influence on American popular culture: “Rebel Without a Cause, released in 1955 (by Warner Bros.©), starring Dennis Hopper 886

opposite James Dean (James Dean like Dennis Hopper was also a member of the De Brier magic-group) and Natalie Wood (Natalie Wood, who stars in Love with the Proper Stranger [1963 A.D.] with Samson De Brier magic group attendee Steve McQueen, would later die under extremely questionable circumstances), was Hopper’s first major cinematic role. Dean was an icon for a new generation who rebelled against dogmatic conventions of American culture… Dean encouraged Hopper to pick up a camera and become involved with the foremost subversives of the day…In Los Angeles the epicenter of this revolution in the arts opened in 1957. The critic Walter Hopps and artists Wallace Berman and Robert Alexander inaugurated Stone Brothers Printing, which soon became the nexus for artists, writers, poets, musicians and actors (including Dean Stockwell) who sought new methods of expression. Dennis Hopper became a regular there and James Dean made an appearance. Hopps, who as a young man was transformed by a visit to Walter (a Harvard University grad) and Louise Arensberg’s collection (the art collecting couple significantly enough had ties to Dennis Hopper’s art collecting mentor Vincent Price and Ziegfeld Follies actress Fanny Brice. Fanny Brice had been part of the FDR/Harriman/Hearst circle [for more info google Fanny Brice/Society Circus/Waldorf Hotel/PBS]. Fanny Brice notably enough performed in the Broadway musical Sweet and Low (1930 A.D.) with actress Hannah Williams [Williams appears in the Warner Brothers© short film The Audition (1933 A.D.)], wife of jazz musician Roger Wolfe Kahn [an associate of Morton Downey whose close friends included Frank Sinatra and Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.], the son of Kuhn, Loeb & Co partner Otto Hermann Kahn [son-in-law of Kuhn, Loeb partner Abraham Wolff], an associate of E.H. Harriman. According to Kahn’s biography: “In the mid 1930s he gave up his orchestra and became a test pilot for Grumman Aviation. He tested many of the fighter planes used by American fliers in World War II. He later became Grumman’s director of service and product support.”), later that year opened The Ferus Gallery with Hopper’s friend, artist Ed Keinholz. Ferus began not only with exhibitions of artists but also screened movies and held poetry readings (typically read to jazz accompaniment). In the early days Ferus was a sort of (Beatnik) ‘Cedar Bar West’ (the West Coast version of the Cedar Street Tavern in Greenwich Village famous as a hangout for many prominent Abstract Expressionist painters [including Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and other artists of the New York School] as well as Beat era poets and writers including Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Frank O’Hara [a Harvard University grad who taught at the CIA-associated New School for Social Research], and LeRoi Jones and, even later, Bob Dylan [a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith]) where the Los Angeles art world converged to meet to tracks of Jazz and bottles of wine (the Dixieland jazz revival of the ’40s and ’50s would eventually give way to what is known as ‘Avant-garde Jazz’ led by Wattsnative Charles Mingus [who had worked with Dizzie Gilespie, a bi-polar jazz musician whom the bi-polar Beatnik Allen Ginsberg had famously turned on to psilocybin] wherein mystical: “…music from India, Africa, and Arabia were melded into an intense, even religiously ecstatic or orgiastic style of playing.” – Wikipedia: Jazz. Dizzie Gilespie also worked with Santerian high priest-drummer/Jazz musician Francisco Aguabella, a Cuban immigrant who resided in San Francisco). The artists were kings and experimentation was the rule. Artists in the early stable of Ferus included John Altoon, Robert Irwin, (Kabalist artist) Wallace Berman, Bruce Conner, Craig Kauffman, Ed Keinholz and many more. In 1959 (Dennis) Hopper left Los Angeles for New York where he studied under Lee Strasberg learning his Actors Studio method (many of our Illuminated actors and actresses spent time at Strasberg’s studio. It was said of Lee Strasberg: “He carried with him the aura of a prophet, a magician, a witch doctor, a psychoanalyst, and a feared father of a Jewish home…” Lee Strasberg, it would appear, was the inveterate modernist Jewish Kabalist). He (Dennis Hopper) spent much of his time visiting galleries, jazz clubs and museums and continued to focus on evolving his ability as a photographer. But later that year Hopper moved back to Los Angeles and quickly became deeply immersed in the art scene revolving around the Ferus Gallery… Andy Warhol opened his first gallery show at the Ferus Gallery with his breakthrough ‘32 Soup Cans’ in July 1962… Also that year, Walter Hopps organized the first museum survey of Pop Art, New 887

Paintings of Common Objects, at the Pasadena Art Museum [now known as the Norton Simon Museum]. This show introduced Los Angeles to the works of Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein and others. (Dennis) Hopper met Andy Warhol in 1963 in New York [in Manhattan, NYC] through his friend, the critic and director of the Museum of Modern Art [founded by the Rockefeller family], Henry Geldzahler (a Yale University graduate [he was a member of Yale’s super secretive Skull and Bones-associated Manuscript Society] who attended graduate school at Harvard University and would later serve as New York City Commissioner of Cultural Affairs). Concurrently with Warhol’s next exhibition at Ferus Gallery of Elvis paintings in September of 1963, Walter Hopps organized the first Marcel Duchamp retrospective at the Pasadena Museum of Art. (Dennis) Hopper and (Andy) Warhol both hosted parties celebrating the confluence of artists around these shows and attended by the Los Angeles art scene. It was during this time that Hopper, Hopps, Warhol, Duchamp and others gathered for the opening dinner at the Green Hotel and Duchamp made the readymade "Green Hotel" in Hopper’s (art) collection. "The private opening was a festive black-tie affair, preceded by a dinner and followed by a reception held in the ballroom of the nearby Hotel Green. The guest lists, however, read like a who’s who of contemporary Southern California Art: Edward Moses, Billy Al Bengston, Larry Bell, Edward Kienholz, (Edward Ruscha, Dennis Hopper), Robert Irwin…were but a few of the artists invited, along with local art world figures Henry Hopkins…Norton Simon, John Coplans…Los Angeles Dealers Paul Kantor, Irving Blum, Felix Landaue and Frank Perls (Frank Perls was an associate of George S. Patton** and worked as an interpreter with Army Intelligence during WWII). Julian Wasser, a contract photographer for Time, was on the scene taking pictures…While in LA, Warhol shot Tarzan and Jane Regained….Sort Of, a film featuring Dennis Hopper and Wallace Berman and Claes Oldenberg (Claes Oldenberg was associated with Allen Kaprow’s circle and the Pop Art movement ‘Happenings’). By the mid 1960’s Hopper amassed a sizable collection of artworks by his friends including critical pieces by West Coast Artists Ed Ruscha, (Wallace) Berman, Conner, Irwin, Altoon as well as East Coast artists Warhol, Lichtenstein, Ruscha, Johns, Rauschenberg, Stella, and Oldenburg. From 1967-1969 Dennis Hopper worked intensely on a film (Easy Rider, during which time he was also hanging out with Charles Manson), co-written by Peter Fonda and starring Hopper, Fonda and Jack Nicholson, whose narrative was inspired from the 1957 novel On the Road by beat writer Jack Kerouac. Easy Rider became the touchstone that defined Hopper’s generation. Dennis gave small parts to his artist circle of friends Wallace Berman and George Herms while Bruce Conner (a friend of Michael McClure and Stan Brakhage, Bruce Connor was a major figure in the San Francisco counter-culture in Haight-Ashbury during the 1960s involved in staging light shows for Family Dog at the Avalon Ballroom) contributed to the editing (a drawing by Bruce Connor appears on the cover of the San Francisco Oracle’s issue #9 circa 1967 A.D.). The Ferus Gallery shut its doors in 1967 but Dennis Hopper continued his immersion in the art scene through the 1970’s, 80’s and 1990’s becoming an integral element of Andy Warhol’s circle with his friends and dealers Leo Castelli and Bruno Bischofberger.” – Christie’s: The Collection of Dennis Hopper, October 21, 2010 A.D.

widow Marjorie) Cameron, Bruce Conner, Jean Conner, Jay DeFeo, Diane DiPrima, Kirby Doyle, [former Walt Disney child star/Warhol superstar] Bobby Driscoll, Robert Duncan, Joe Dunn, Llyn Foulkes, Loree Foxx, Ralph Gibson, Allen Ginsberg, Billy Gray, George Herms, Jack Hirschman, Dennis Hopper, Billy Jahrmarkt, Jess, Lawrence Jordan, Patricia Jordan, Bob Kaufman, Philip Lamantia, William Margolis, Michael McClure, [Warhol superstar] Taylor Mead, David Meltzer, Henry Miller, Stuart Perkoff, John Reed, Arthur Richer, Rachel Rosenthal, Jack Smith, Dean Stockwell, Ben Talbert, Russel Tamblyn, Aya (Tarlow), Edmund Teske, Zack Walsh, [Beatnik era poet Lenore Kandel’s Beatnik poet boyfriend] Lew Welch [a friend of Gary Sneider and Lawrence Ferlinghetti], and John Wieners.” A number of these Beatnik poets and artists would go on to become central characters in the 1960s Haight-Ashbury San Francisco hippie scene and many including Dennis Hopper were associated with Andy Warhol’s Factory artist community located in Greenwich Village as well)

Inner-circle Manson Family-member Bruce Davis (Bruce Davis was convicted as an accomplice in the Gary Hinman murder) was associated with the Church of Scientology’s Hubbard Institute of Scientology commune in London, England (the same place where the founding members of The Process Church of the Final Judgment originated; Davis had at one point worked there for a time) who traveled to London on Charles Manson’s orders to meet with members of The Process Church at their headquarters in London in 1968 A.D., only to return shortly thereafter. Davis, who was Manson’s second in command, was a suspect in the London murder of a disenchanted Scientologist which may shed a light upon the real reason for his trip. Manson during his fourteen years involved with the Underworld seems to have been somewhat of a mob enforcer, a hitman for hire (he is in fact suspected of being involved in upwards of 35 murders; prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi thought this to be a low estimate; Manson Family murder victim Leno LaBianca was himself a mob-associated businessman whose phone was being wiretapped at the time of his murder at the hands of Manson Family members. It would also seem Manson, who had previously shared a jail cell with an incarcerated Scientology auditor, became a Scientology [and its offshoot The Process Church] enforcer upon his release as well, seemingly tasked in silencing ex-members [Manson associated with well-known mafia members during his prison stays as well]. Process Church members are known to have visited Charles Manson in prison after Manson was arrested for murder). At any rate, as a result of police investigations into the Manson Family murders: “U.S. Treasury agents investigated aspects of drug traffic to see if there was any pattern of interstate trafficking. In the days following the murders there were large-scale cocaine arrests around the country which have been linked to the reverberations resulting from the murder investigation. Police traveled around the country administering polygraph examinations. They even went to England to interrogate suspects.” – The Family pp.328-9. Also: “A private investigator who worked on the case for the family of one of the decedents for months after the murders told this writer (Ed Sanders) that the motive for the crimes was that ‘they knew too much about what was going on.’” – Ibid pp.334-5. And as everybody knows, dead men tell no incriminating tales. Someone had pulled the plug on the operation and was covering up loose ends. One major figure in the Charles Manson-associated Laurel Canyon music saga of the day was singer/songwriter Frank Zappa of the music group Mothers of Invention whose father Francis Zappa was a chemical warfare specialist at 889

Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland, home of America’s chemical warfare program. Edgewood Arsenal is a facility which is frequently cited as being a hotbed of MKULTRA operations. In the 1950s during the early days of MKULTRA experimentation the Zappa family moved west to California where dad became engaged in classified work at Edwards Airforce Base (allegedly per David Icke a notorious center for Satanic worship). Frank Zappa’s father-in-law notably enough was involved with classified nuclear weapons research for the U.S. Navy (and as should be noted, the Navy admiral father of Frank Zappa’s friend Jim Morrison was likewise involved in nuclear weapons research). No doubt he also had dealings with the Lookout Mountain Laboratory located in Laurel Canyon. Manson Familymember Bobby Beausoleil was another of Frank Zappa’s friends, with Bobby Beausoleil even having provided voiceovers on Frank Zappa’s very first record album (See Interviews With Bobby Beausoleil 1998-9 by Michael Moynihan for Seconds© Magazine). Even Charles Manson’s ex-cell mate Phil Kaufman worked at one point in time as road manager for Frank Zappa’s band. No doubt the connections run quite deep. Laurel Canyon resident and Hollywood actress Doris Day starred in Young at Heart (1954 A.D.) with Frank Sinatra and would later replace Marilyn Monroe in Something's Got to Give (1962 A.D.) featuring Frank Sinatra’s Rat Pack friend Dean Martin (whose own daughter was an associate of Charles Manson and whose fellow Rat Pack-member Sammy Davis Jr. was along with Charles Manson ’s friend Bobby Beausoleil a Church of Satan attendee) when Marilyn Monroe (who once dated Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey whose own associates included Frank Sinatra) was ‘suicided’ mid-film (Doris Day was associated with Gerald Heard’s friend Christopher Isherwood [Isherwood is known to have penned a number of Hollywood screenplays in collaboration with Aldous Huxley]. Christopher Isherwood himself was a known associate of Aleister Crowley. Another of Isherwood’s friends, the Irish journalist Gerald Hamilton with ties to the IRA [See p.216 Secret Agent 666], was known to frequent Swami Prabhavananda’s ashram in Hollywood, CA, as did Crowleyite Renate Druks, Edmund Teske [Edmund Teske knew Anais Nin whom he had known during his employment at Paramount pictures, and Teske personally knew Anais Nin’s friend, OTO-member/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger (both of whom were along with Renate Druks attendees of Samson De Brier’s magic salon)], Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard (most if not all of whom were connected in some way to Aleister Crowley. Doris Day herself starred in the 1960 A.D. film Please Don't Eat the Daisies alongside British spy-turned-actor David Niven who reported to British spymaster William Stephenson during WWII. David Niven’s friend, British spy Ian Fleming was British spy Aleister Crowley’s case officer. In 1968 A.D. Doris Day would appear alongside actor Patrick O’Neal [a former director during WWII of training films in General Hap Arnold’s U.S. Army Air Corps] in the film Where Were You When the Lights Went Out? produced by her Hollywood producer husband Martin Melcher. General Hap Arnold was an associate of Jack Parsons, the leader of Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodge, he noteably providing the funding for Jack Parsons’ early rocketry tests. Jack Parsons and Church of Satanfounder Anton LaVey were also known attendees of Samson De Brier’s magic salon). Gerald Hamilton was himself a friend of Aleister Crowley (Ibid p.216) and had personally known British Prime Minister Winston Churchhill. Note the major OTO connection to Swami Prabhavananda (founder of the Vedanta Society of 890

Southern California) and his Hollywood ashram. Christopher Isherwood himself served as co-editor of the ashram’s magazine Vedanta and the West for which publication Aldous Huxley, Gerald Heard [a known British spy], Alan Watts [an associate of OSS spy Carl Jung], J. Krishnamurti and W. Somerset Maugham [also a known British spy with extensive associations with the British Museum; Maugham’s novel The Magician (1908 A.D.) was based on the life of the British spy Aleister Crowley. Maugham’s own boss in the SIS, Sir William Wiseman, was mentor to British spymaster Sir William Stephenson which fact reveals them all to be British spies] were regular contributors). Doris Day was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor which can be bestowed upon a civilian (whose recipients are therewith sworn to silence), by President George W. Bush, no doubt for the clandestine activities with which she was involved and not for her charitable work with dogs as is the story most commonly cited (though note this modus operandi as the British Intelligence-associated Process Church of the Final Judgment also eventually morphs itself into an animal shelter-based charitable organization when the group’s drug smuggling ventures began to dry up). Doris Day’s son, music producer Terry Melcher, had been a majordomo in Hollywood’s Laurel Canyon scene as he had associations with Roman Polanski, all of the Laurel Canyon musicians, the Manson Family, The Process Church of the Final Judgment, the Vito Paulekas dance troupe as well as with the group of young Hollywood actors known as ‘The Young Turks,’ a group which included Charles Manson’s actor friend Dennis Hopper (the film Easy Rider [starring Dennis Hopper] was directed by Solar Lodge OTO-member Jerry Kay). Dennis Hopper was also a known attendee of the Samson De Brier magic salon. The Aleister Crowley-associated Christopher Isherwood was the cousin of neuropsychiatrist John Raymond Smythies who along with (Gerald Heard’s friend Aldous Huxley’s personal physician) Dr. Humphry Osmond (a CIA-associated psychiatrist who was an associate of the CIA-associated OSS Captain Al Hubbard) in 1952 A.D. co-authored a paper entitled Schizophrenia: A New Approach (The British Journal of Psychiatry (1952) 98: 309-315 doi: 10.1192/bjp.98.411.309) advocating the study of hallucinogenic drugs such as mescaline as a means of treating mental disorders, thereby publicly providing cover for and paving the way to secretive CIA funding for covert MKULTRA subprojects often carried out in very public settings. There also existed an organization called the Order of the Solar Temple (OTS) which was in fact a magic-based murder/suicide cult. Murders and suicides were the order of the day on the 1960s Laurel Canyon scene, deaths which like those associated with the Order of the Solar Temple ‘occurred around the dates of the equinoxes and solstices.’ Such murder/suicides likely represent human sacrifices and/or self-sacrifices made during occult magic rituals (concerning the Order of the Solar Temple: “In October 1994 Tony Dutoit’s infant son (Emmanuel Dutoit), aged three months, was killed at the group's (Order of the Solar Temple) centre in Morin Heights, Quebec. The baby had been stabbed repeatedly with a wooden stake. It is believed that Di Mambro ordered the murder, because he identified the baby as the Anti-Christ described in the Bible. He believed that the Anti-Christ was born into the order to prevent Di Mambro from succeeding in his spiritual aim. A few days later, Di Mambro and twelve followers performed a ritual Last Supper. A few days after 891

that, apparent mass suicides and murders were conducted at Cheiry and Salvan, two villages in Western Switzerland, and at Morin Heights — 15 inner circle members committed suicide with poison, 30 were killed by bullets or smothering, and 8 others were killed by other causes (ultimately, over 70 OTS cult members around the country would succumb to self-sacrifice). In Switzerland, many of the victims were found in a secret underground chapel lined with mirrors and other items of Templar symbolism. The bodies were dressed in the order’s ceremonial robes and were in a circle, feet together, heads outward, most with plastic bags tied over their heads; they had each been shot in the head. It is believed that the plastic bags were a symbol of the ecological disaster that would befall the human race after the OTS members moved on to Sirius (Pertinent Quote: “The American writer Robert Anton Wilson records that one of his many contacts from secret and esoteric societies both in the United States and in Europe told him that the secret of the 33 rd Degree—the highest rank in American Freemasonry—was that the Craft was in contact with intelligent beings from Sirius.” – p.285 The Stargate Conspiracy). It is also believed that these bags were used as part of the OTS rituals, and that members would have voluntarily worn them without being placed under duress. There was also evidence that many of the victims in Switzerland were drugged before they were shot. Other victims were found in three ski chalets; several dead children were laying together … All the suicide/murders and attempts occurred around the dates of the equinoxes and solstices in some relation to the beliefs of the group. Another massacre related to the OTS took place during the night between the 15 and 16 December 1995. 16 people were shot in a field, in Vercors, France, and their corpses burned down. It was found later that 2 of them shot the others and then committed suicide by firearm and immolation. On the morning of March 23, 1997, five members of the OTS took their own lives in Saint-Casimir, Quebec. A small house exploded into flames, leaving behind five charred bodies for the police to pull from the rubble. Three teenagers aged 13, 14 and 16, the children of one of the couples that died in the fire, were discovered in a shed behind the house, alive but heavily drugged. Michael Tabachnik, an internationally renowned Swiss musician and conductor (a conductor of operas—note the opera/magic association), was arrested as a leader of the Solar Temple in the late 1990s.” - Wikipedia: Order of the Solar Temple. As noted in The Stargate Conspiracy p.292: “The Order itself did not die with its faithful on those tragic nights, and neither is the Order of the Solar Temple an organization of little consequence. Its influence stretches high up the social [as well as, I might add, the Intelligence organization] ladder. The Order of the Solar Temple was closely connected with another group, the confusingly similar named Soveriegn Order of the Solar Temple.” As we learn from Dr. Massimo Introvigne concerning this occult order: “…Sovereign Order of the Solar Temple (OSTS). OSTS’ origins date back to the so called "Arginy Renaissance" (central to which was French alchemist Eugene Canseliet [1899 – 1982 A.D.], an associate of fellow French alchemist Jacques Bergier [Bergier by his own admission served as an Allied French Intelligence agent during World War II]. Canseliet had been a member along with R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz [R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1887–1961 A.D.) was a student of French artist Henri Matisse, Matisse being a lifelong friend of Pablo Picasso the two of whom were known to have frequented the Paris salon of Gertrude Stein] of the Fulcanellicentric Brotherhood of Heliopolis [an associated group of magic-practicing alchemists centered in the Montparnasse area of Paris. Schwaller de Lubicz, who 892

had been actively involved with the French Theosophical groups of the period, was the son of a (al)chemist and had penned a number of books (including his highly acclaimed treatise, The Temple of Man) on the subject of Egyptian esotericism and spiritualism (read: magic) based upon his fifteen years of studies (from 1935-1950 A.D.) of ancient Egyptian culture as a resident anthropologist of Luxor in Egypt], sonamed in deference to the Egyptian pantheon of gods variously known as the Ennead and The Nine [the word ‘Ennead’ itself refers to a ‘group of nine,’ and, hence, The Nine]. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Schwaller de Lubicz was the founder in 1919 [this being the time frame when many acclaimed Theosophical Society members were gathering together there at Montparnasse in France in the Paris salon of Gertrude Stein], with other members of the Theosophical Society, of the esoteric right-wing French group called Affranchis, that published a journal L'AffranchiHiérarchie, Fraternité, Liberté, a monthly journal of art and philosophy, dealing with a spiritual and social renewal within the framework of a mystical political philosophy. Its president was René Bruyez (1886-1969 A.D.). On 23 July 1919 the group dissolved and another group was formed in its place: Les Veilleurs ("the Vigilants"), to which allegedly the young Rudolf Hess (who would later serve as Adolf Hitler’s deputy) belonged (according to the historian Pierre Mariel).” – Wikipedia: R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz. Jacques Bergier claimed to have been in contact with the mysterious though unnamed occultist ‘Fulcanelli’ [the story of which can be found in Jacques Bergier’s The Morning of the Magicians (1960 A.D.)], now commonly believed to have been the aforementioned Eugene Canseliet, the penultimate Synarchist himself, as it was said Canseliet was Fulcanelli’s one and “only student”), a mystical experience of June 12, 1952, when French esoteric author Jacques Breyer (1922-1996) [who believed himself to be Knights Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay reincarnated] and two companions [namely, the alchemists Eugene Canseliet and Armand Barbault at the Arginy Castle, former residence of Jacques de Molay’s nephew the Count de Beaujeu, the subterranean chambers of whose Tower of the Eight Beauties, aka the Tower of Alchemy, is a legendary depository of Knights Templar gold and of various other assorted Hermetic secrets] were contacted [during a necromantic theurgic magic ceremony designed to conjure the spirit of Knights Templar Grand Master Guillaume de Beaujeu and involving the conception of a magickal child in order that the spirit of Guillaume de Beaujeu might therein reincarnate] by secret "Masters of the Temple" [the so-called "Masters of the Temple" are the spirits of eleven Knights Templar who are said to haunt the castle premises as guardians of the Templar treasure with which spiritual entities Breyer claimed to have established contact during spiritualist séances held therein] and asked to establish a "Templar Renaissance." The "Renaissance" eventually materialized—after many years of esoteric activity by Breyer and his friends—into the OSTS, established on June 24, 1966 (the very same year the Church of Satan was established in America) and incorporated under Monaco law in 1967. Monaco (a sovereign city-state located on the French Riviera bordered on three sides by France, the majority of whose population is of Italian descent) was selected because the Grand Master hand-picked by Breyer for the OSTS was Jean-Louis Marsan (19231982), a Monaco socialite and a friend of Prince Rainier III (Prince Rainier III was a “family friend” of British Intelligence agent/actor David Niven). While Rainier and Grace (American actress Grace Kelly [Grace Kelly’s cousin, Bucks County/Philadelphia-born banker John Lehman of the Lehman Bros. banking family, 893

would serve as Secretary of the Navy under President Ronald Reagan and as a member of the 9/11 Commission as well. He currently serves as Chairman of the Princess Grace Foundation-USA along with Prince Rainier’s son. The foundation awards theater fellowships, apprenticeships and scholarships]) did know (OSTS Grandmaster Jean-Louis) Marsan, there is no evidence that they were members of the OSTS or ever set foot in the OSTS center of Villié-Morgon. Even if they did visit Villié-Morgon, this does not make Grace a member of the OTS (this disclaimer notwithstanding, and with all plausible deniability aside, the authors of The Stargate Conspiracy add: “The Sovereign Order [of the Solar Temple (OSTS)] soon made inroads into high society, being officially recognized by Prince Rainier III of Monaco, although its relationship with his family was much more intimate: his wife, the legendary Princess Grace, was actually a member.” This was of course due to American actress Grace Kelly’s own associations, as amongst the 600 attendees to their 1956 A.D. wedding was of course British Intelligence agent/actor David Niven, hotelier Conrad Hilton, the very witchy Gloria Swanson and a slew of Illuminati Hollywood glitterati as well as Illuminati literati [Frank Sinatra, who has appeared in various movies alongside Grace Kelly, was also invited but sadly unable to attend]). OSTS and OTS were two different organizations (though they were in fact closely associated oweing to duel membership holders). It is true that Marsan and Di Mambro knew each other and that on March 21, 1981 they met in Geneva (Switzerland) in order to discuss a merger between the OSTS and still another neoTemplar order, the Renewed Order of the Temple (ORT). The latter had been originally incorporated in 1970 by Raymond Bernard (b. 1923), at that time a prominent leader of the Rosicrucian order AMORC (previously during the 1920s, Schwaller de Lubicz and his wife had established the Suhalia commune in Switzerland devoted to the study of alchemy, resulting in the release of his Egyptian Tarot deck). Since 1972 the leader of the ORT was Julien Origas (1920-1983). OSTS and ORT both recognized the "Arginy Renaissance" as genuine and kept in touch with Breyer. Eventually after the death of Origas (1983) the ORT experienced a schism. The faction who recognized Luc Jouret (1947-1994) as Grand Master did not have the legal right to use the name ORT and eventually re-incorporated under a succession of names leading to "Order of the Solar Temple." Since 1982 (Luc) Jouret, a Belgian homeopathic doctor, was a close associate of Di Mambro.” - ©Dr. Massimo Introvigne and CESNUR [Center for Studies on New Religions], January 1998 A.D.). Raymond Bernard would go on to found the Sovereign Initiatic Order of the Temple [OSTI] in 1988 A.D. No doubt the OSTI/OSTS/OTS/ORT/AMORC/OTO all tie in with the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (OSMTH) Templar Order (** Not to be confused with Jewish French filmmaker Raymond Bernard [1891 - 1977 A.D.]. The Paris-born Raymond Bernard got his start in filmmaking at the Gaumont Film Company [a French film production company which during the silent film era dominated the European market] where he had directed a number of comedies written by his father including the French film Le Petit café [1919 A.D.] starring French actor [and later director/screenwriter] Max Linder who would himself replace Charlie Chaplin at Essanay Studios when Chaplin at last had left for much greener pastures. Fellow Essanay Studios actress Gloria Swanson (one of Charlie Chaplin’s leading ladies) was herself the first wife [m. 1925 – d. 1931 A.D.] of French filmmaker Henry de La Falaise—he would produce and direct a total of three RKO films including one by 894

Harvard attendee screenwriter/playwright Robert E. Sherwood who would later serve as a speech writer to U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and as Director of the Office of War Information [OWI] under FDR during WWII under whom had served British spymaster William Stephenson [to whom British Intelligence agent/actor David Niven reported] as well as Librarian of Congress Archibald MacLeish. It would seem the French and American film industries were in fact intricately intertwined and that Bernard and contemporary French filmmaker Roman Polanski must have been acquaintances considering France plays host to the Cannes Film Festival even to this day) Chicago Mafioso including Al Capone-enforcer Frank Nitty and other racketeers including Lucky Luciano attained a great deal of power in Hollywood through control of America’s trade unions including that of the nation’s projectionists union (whereby they could shut down nearly every movie theatre in the country. The music industry was also notoriously gangster ridden, Warner Music Group’s Reprise Records© being quite the notable example) and through other such criminal extortion rackets. Labor unions are in fact the traditional realm of the Freemasonic laborer, as are all Labor/Labour political parties. Concerning magicpracticing Italian Mafioso, there is a long-tradition of Italian (and Sicilian) witchcraft called Stregheria, centered around the Roman ‘Lares’ who represent the fallen angels from whom its practitioners believed to be descended (Dr. Leo Martello is one famous example of a strega, an Italian witch of Sicilian ancestry hailing from a line of such Italian witches who organized the infamous 1970 A.D. Witch-In held on Halloween night in New York’s Central Park), and also, a Roman Catholic Churchinfluenced form of witchcraft called Stregoneria (some in the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church practice witchcraft/magic in the form of a Christian-based Cabala into which category Stregoneria must certainly fall. As revealed in Revelation: The Divine Fire: “To this day [circa 1970 A.D.]…there is a vast underground network of streghe [witches] throughout Italy, Sicily, with allies on Malta, including a few Roman Catholic priests…”). And let us not forget the Dianic Cult of Herodias and the witch-cult Aradia [which system of magic is detailed in Charles G. Leland’s Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches (1899 A.D.)] as well as the Italian Benandanti. Alessandro Cagliostro was a famous Italian/Sicilian magicpracticing high-degree Freemason, as was most significantly the Youth Movement creator/Mafia-founder Giuseppe Mazzini, a leader of the Carbonari in Italy. The ‘vast underground network of streghe’ no doubt has significant Carbonari connections. Recall it was the Spiritualist medium H.P. Blavatsky who was initiated into the conspiratorial organization known as the Carbonari by Giuseppe Mazzini himself in 1856 A.D. prior to her founding the magic-practicing group known as the Theosophical Society. Founded in early 19th-century Italy, the Freemasonic Carbonari consisted of groups of revolution spawning secret societies, all united under the auspices of the Great Work instituted by the greater Theosophical Movement (of which the Illuminati was a part). All of these activities seem simply a continuation of a long-term Illuminati goal. It is said the Carbonari were (and no doubt, like many practitioners of magic, still are) in communication with and I most definitely quote the “devil and his angels” and are working in partnership therewith. And Rome of course during the Roman Empire was an international center for the worship of pagan gods representing the fallen angels serviced by priests and 895

priestesses who were like-minded practitioners of magic. As Nesta Webster herself explains in Secret Societies and Subversive Movements pp.63-64, Italy was the site of a Cabalist renaissance: “In Spain, Portugal, Provence, and Italy the Jews by the fifteenth century had become a power; as early as 1450 they had penetrated into the intellectual circles of Florence (where Cosimo de Medici, the son of Medici Bank head Giovanni di Bicci de Medici, would refound Plato’s Academy at Florence amongst which group was emminent Cabalist Giovanni Pico della Mirandola)… Italy in the fifteenth century was thus a centre from which Cabalistic influences radiated… it was from Italy that came the most skillful adepts in the art of alchemy, astrology, magic, and infernal evocation, who spread themselves over Europe, particularly France (from which Italian adepts the infamous French black magic practitioner/child murderer Gilles de Rais had learned to ply his dark art)… it was also in Italy that, a century later, the modern Cabalistic school was inaugurated by Isaac Luria (1533-72), whose doctrines were organized into a practical system by the Hasidim (Hasidic Jews) of Eastern Europe for the writing of amulets, the conjuration of devils, mystical jugglery (jugglery by definition is ‘ceremonial magic’) with numbers and letters (gematria), etc.” (Hasidic Jews were Merkaba mystics). Italy in fact has quite the ingrained tradition of ceremonial magic and witchcraft. It was in the de Medici stronghold of Florence in Italy where Carbonari-member Charles Godfrey Leland would in the second half of the 20th Century study to become a much vaunted stregone, a powerful wizard. No doubt Florence and its environs is quite the Illuminati/Carbonari bastion even today. (For more information on the magic/Spiritualist practices of Bavarian [Upper Palatinate] Ashkenazi Jews see the Sefer Hasidim by Judah ben Samuel [1150-1217 A.D.] of Regensburg. Regensburg in Bavaria, Germany, later played host to the Mediaeval ceremonial magician Albertus Magnus and to Chassidei Ashkenaz ascetic movement founder Rabbi Judah the Pious during the 13th Century A.D.) (Of a pertinent note: “The [18th Century] Hasidic movement…stimulated the use of music and dance for religious expression.” – p.196 Fallen Angels: The Soldiers of Satan’s Realm by Bernard J. Bamberger, 1952 A.D. The founder of Hasidic Judaism, the Poland-born Jewish Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer [1698-1760 A.D.], was known as Baal Shem Tov [upon whose teachings modern Freemasonry has largely been built. It was the Baal Shem Tov’s hometown, a strategic Polish fortress town situated on the bluffs of the Dniper River, which was defended by Polish general Kasimir Pulaski against Russian forces in the years leading up to the First Partition of Poland (its successful defense allowing for its subsequent seizure by Austria [Bavaria] in 1772 A.D.) prior to Pulaski’s participation in the American Revolutionary War]. The Baal Shem Tov was by definition a Judaic priest of Baal/Azazel, an adherent of that ancient ‘Wisdom Religion’ descended from the traditions of that Biblically reknowned: “…generation…which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel…the [Judaic] children of Israel [who] did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim…[who] forsook the LORD God of their fathers [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob], which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods [read: the fallen angels], of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger… they [who] forsook the LORD, and served Baal [Azazel] and Ashtaroth [Azazel’s human wife].” – Judges 10:13. Indeed: “The title is itself instructive. Baal Shem was a term applied to those who could utilize the divine names [during magical operations] for supernatural purposes, especially to control demons.” – p.196 Fallen Angels: The Soldiers of Satan’s Realm by Bernard J. Bamberger, 1952 A.D. The Hassidim were/are Merkaba mystics)

Yet another denizen of Hollywood who starred in a movie with a Hell’s 896

Angels-theme was the Platinum Bombshell Jean Harlow, star of Hell’s Angels, a Howard Hughes film. Howard Hughes took aeronautical engineering courses at CalTech. In fact, OTO-member Jack Parsons after leaving CalTech was employed at one point in time at Howard Hughes’ Hughes Aircraft Company. Hughes’ Culver City, CA company was a major World War II aerospace defense contractor whose company recieved many U.S. Airforce contracts of a highly-classified nature. Hundreds of movies such as The Wizard of Oz [Beverly Hillbillies star Buddy Ebsen (OTO witch Sharon Tate’s co-actor), a member in his youth of the Kansas City, MObased Freemasonic Order of De Molay (a distinction he shares with the OTO ceremonial magician Israel Regardie. Ebsen in later years is quoted on the Molay International website as proclaiming: “Today when I look back, then look around me to see with whom I am standing, I fully realize the influence on my life that must be credited to DeMolay.” It would seem he was surrounded by fellow DeMolay-ers. Navy Intelligence officer William Cooper in Behold a Pale Horse p.75 credits his membership in the Order of De Molay organization as a youth to his later acceptance into a Naval Intelligence position adding: “All of the intelligence officers that I worked for while in Naval Intelligence were Masons” [Ibid p.78]. The Order of De Molay was after all founded by Masons for the children of Masons). It is also interesting to note the producer of The Beverly Hillbillies, Paul Henning, had personally known FDR’s third vice-president Harry S. Truman during his teenage years in Independence, MO where Truman had likewise resided (President Franklin Delano Roosevelt himself had served as the First Honorary Grand Master of the Order of DeMolay and FDR’s vice-president Harry S. Truman, who would accede to the presidency at the death of FDR in office during WWII in 1945 A.D., has himself served as Honorary Grand Master of the International Supreme Council, Order of DeMolay). The film production company Filmways© (which would acquire Roger Corman’s OTO-associated AIP film production company in 1979 A.D.) which produced The Beverly Hillbillies© T.V. sitcom also produced the Roman Polanskidirected film The Fearless Vampire Killers*** in which OTO-witch Sharon Tate (the daughter of an Army Intelligence officer) appears alongside actor Ferdy Mayne who had himself served as an MI5 British Intelligence informant during WWII, this movie being produced by Gene Gutowski, himself a member during WWII of the US Army Counter Intelligence Corp] and E.T. the Extra Terrestrial [Peter Coyote, an associate of OTO-member Kenneth Anger, also appears in this film] have been filmed in Culver City’s Los Angeles County film studios). Jean Harlow, an early occupant of the Laurel Canyon area (which area it would appear was entirely government Intelligence-based), was Godmother to Bugsy Siegel’s daughter, Millicent (as related by Kenneth Anger in Hollywood Babylon, upon Bugsy Siegel’s arrival into Hollywood: “Through his pal George Raft [Bugsy “Siegel grew up in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, side by side with George Raft; this boyhood friendship developed into a lifelong association.”], Siegel was introduced to the crème of Hollywood society, and was soon hobnobbing with Richard Barthelmess [whose mother had taught Russian émigré/actress Alla Nazimova (former first lady Nancy Reagan’s godmother) to speak English—Nazimova had starred in the film Salomѐ (1923 A.D.) alongside Arthur Jasmine, aka Samson De Brier, an associate of OTO lodge leader Jack Parsons. Richard Barthelmess was an actor associated with Lillian Gish, a close friend of actress Hellen Hayes whose friends included Hollywood Hellfire Club-members Ben Hecht and John Barrymore, John Barrymore being a 897

friend of John Carradine who was a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge], Jean Harlow, Clark Gable [Clark Gable was a friend of British Intelligence agent/actor David Niven], Gary Cooper** and Cary Grant [Cary Grant was a major LSD proponent].”). Jean Harlow’s husband, successful MGM director/producer Paul Bern [whose boss Samuel Goldwyn had extensive Italian Mafia connections including amongst whom was the Mafioso Lucky Luciano], died some two-months after their wedding with a bullet to the head, and Harlow herself also met with a mysterious early demise. No doubt much information is to be gleaned by following Hollywood/Laurel Canyon insurance/inheritance-money trails. (**Gary Cooper, Bugsy Siegel and George Raft were all amorously involved with a New York-born spy named Dorothy Cadwell Taylor [aka the Countess Dorothy di Frasso], the wife of the Italian Count Dentice di Frasso, whose Beverly Hills villa was the scene of countless Hollywood parties [parties attended as well by Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.]. Amongst the Countess’ closest friends was RKO/Warner Bros.© actress Constance Bennett [sister of Hollywood actress Joan Bennett], the aunt of singer/songwriter/controversial daytime T.V. talk-show host Morton Downey, Jr. [Constance Bennett’s sister Barbara Bennett was married to Morton Downey, Sr. (a close friend of Frank Sinatra and Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.), an entertainer who personally knew “all the mob figures.”]. Constance, Barbara and Joan are all daughters of Richard Bennett (a lead actor in the George Bernard Shawproduced play, Man and Superman) and actress Adrienne Morrison whose father Lewis Morrison (stage name of Morris W. Morris) had acted alongside stage actor Edwin Booth, brother of stage actor/Carbonari member/Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth (both were the sons of Junius Brutus Booth who’s wife, Elizabeth Wilkes, was a relative of British M.P. John Wilkes, a supporter of American revolutionaries and along with Benjamin Franklin a member of Dashwood’s Hellfire Club. Another Wilkes family member, Charles Wilkes, was an Admiral in the United States Navy. Charles Wilkes is related to the Roosevelt family [to both Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR himself served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Woodrow Wilson)] through his aunt, Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton** who had raised him as a child [**the canonized daughter of French Huguenot immigrants in New York for whom Seton Hall University founded by James Roosevelt Bayley takes its name. Elizabeth’s father, Dr. Richard Bayley, served as Chief Health Officer for the Port of New York, home of the Brooklyn Navy Yard]). Edwin Booth was the owner of Booth’s Theater in Manhattan, and founder of the famous Player’s Club. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Members of the Players included the local pillars of society of the day, prominent bankers, lawyers and businessmen, as well as those identified with other arts— writers, journalists, sculptors, architects and painters. Presidents of the club have included [the Pennsylvania born actor] Joseph Jefferson, who succeeded Booth as president after his death, John Drew Jr [the uncle of John, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore, themselves the children of Oxford University grad Maurice Barrymore, son of a British East India Company employee. John Drew Jr.’s mother Louisa Lane Drew had appeared in plays alongside actors Junius Brutus Booth and his son John Wilkes Booth], Walter Hampden, Howard Lindsay, Dennis King [a Warner Bros.© actor], Alfred Drake [in 1964 A.D. Drake had starred in Samson De Brier magicgrouper Richard Burton’s Broadway production of Hamlet], Roland Winters, Jose Ferrer, Robert Lansing [related by marriage to Allen Dulles and John Foster Dulles, 898

Robert Lansing served as Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson], John Bartholomew Tucker pro tem, Michael Allinson and Lynn Redgrave [daughter of the Ealing Studios-associated British actor, Sir Michael Redgrave. Another of Redgrave’s daughters, Vanessa Redgrave, stars in the 1971 A.D. Satanic-themed Warner Bros.© film The Devils based on the book The Devils of Loudin authored by Aldous Huxley]…Some past and present notable members include: [Theosophical Society member] Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), George M. Cohan, Stanford White, [the physicist] Nikola Tesla (Mark Twain was a good friend of Nikola Tesla), John Barrymore [a Warner Bros.© actor/Hollywood Hellfire Club member, Barrymore’s friend and co-Hellfire Club member, John Carradine, was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge], Eugene O’Neill [an Irish American playwright and Nobel Prize in Literature winner whose Ireland-born father, James O'Neill, was an actor who acted with Edwin Booth (brother of actor/Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth), his daughter Oona would marry Charlie Chaplin (their son, recording engineer Eugene Chaplin, would work with bands including The Rolling Stones). Chaplin ties to Maurice Barrymore through a mutual associate, actor/playwright/stage manager Wiliam Gillette, associate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Mary Pickford. O’Neill’s son and namesake, Eugene O’Neill, Jr., was a Yale Skull and Bones Doctor of Philosophy who would later teach at the New School for Social Research], James Cagney, Gregory Peck, Alfred Lunt [whose relatives arrived on the Mayflower], Robert M. McBride, Walter Cronkite [a Bohemian Club member, Cronkite himself provided the recorded voice of the idollic owl at the Bohemian Grove’s ‘Cremation of Care’ magic ritual (Pertinent Quote: “...the owl is regarded as the bird of witchcraft.” – Natural Magic by Doreen Valiente)], Alexander Woollcott [a member of the Algonquin Round Table group, Woollcott’s brother, Billy Woolcott, ties to H.L. Menchen who’s good friends included Hollywood Hellfire Club-member Ben Hecht, Sinclair Lewis, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Alistair Cooke], Kevin Spacey [born Kevin Spacey Fowler, Kevin Spacey was a friend of President Bill Clinton. The Fowler name is famous in the annals of the British Royal Society, the Theosophical Society, the Manhattan Project and the Bohemian Club as well], Judy Collins [a folk singer of the ’60s who’s friends included Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. She currently works as a UNICEF representative], Rue McClanahan, George S. Kaufman [a member of the Algonquin Round Table group, Kaufman famously carried on an affair with Hollywood actress Mary Astor [a resident of the Theosophical Society’s Krotona commune], a later mistress of Hollywood Hellfire Club member/Algonquin Hotel patron John Barrymore. Fellow Hollywood Hellfire Club-member John Carradine was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge which had been founded by former Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member Aleister Crowley], Angela Lansbury [an actress whose grandfather was Labour leader George Lansbury, a close associate of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (of which the OTO is an offshoot) being the magic-practicing innercircle of the Theosophical Society. John Carradine and Angela Lansbury appear together in the 1947 A.D. film The Private Affairs of Bel Ami during which time John Carradine was an active member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge], Sidney Poitier, Tony Bennett, Tony Roberts, Carol Burnett, Liza Minnelli [the daughter of Judy Garland and actor/director Vincente Minnelli, Vincente Minnelli himself being the grandson and grandnephew of Sicilian Carbonari revolutionaries who took part in the Revolutions of 1848 in Sicily], Dick Cavett [talk-show host and amateur magician 899

Schulberg of Famous Players Lasky. Budd Schulberg worked for the OSS with Hollywood director John Ford in the First Motion Picture Unit. B.P. Schulberg was the brother-in-law of Sam Jaffe, a talent agent who got his start at Famous Players Lasky whose clients included [British spy-turned-actor] David Niven, Peter Lorre and Samson De Brier magic group attendees Richard Burton and Stanley Kubrick [Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey was based on a story by Arthur C. Clarke. Arthur C. Clarke’s friend Paul Bowles was an associate of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood], Ethan Hawke, Jimmy Fallon [who’s wife along with Drew Barrymore, granddaughter of Hollywood Hellfire Club-member John Barrymore, owns the Flower Films film production company], Marian Seldes, Peter O’Toole, Rosemary Harris, Roger Moore [British actor who stars in a number of James Bond spy films filmed at the Pinewood Studios British Intelligence front organization], Russell Miller, and Sidney Zion [a journalist with the Churchill family-owned New York Times].” Mark Twain, an early member of the Society for Psychical Reasearch, a Theosophical Society member and a member of the Bohemian Club as well, was in fact one of the incorporating officers of the Player’s Club itself. The Player’s Club, a private membership only club, is indeed, ‘Club Carbonari,’ and throughout its history one may linearly trace the progression from its early Carbonari roots to its Theosophical Society associations to its associations with the OTO, the Bohemian Grove and all the way through to the Carbonari/Theosophical Society control of allied American and British Intelligence agencies. The Player’s Club, a den of Illuminati intrigue, provides a common link between everyone in our story from the late 19 th Century onwards. As a parting note it must be mentioned that Cherie Blair [neѐ Booth], the wife of former British Labour P.M. Tony Blair, a former British Intelligence agent, is a distant relative of Carbonari-member John Wilkes Booth, as birds of a Carbonari feather so very often flock [and intermarry] merrily together) (***Another individual involved in Roman Polanski’s The Fearless Vampire Killers, jazz singer Krzysztof Komeda [Komeda provided the musical scores for Roman Polanski’s The Fearless Vampire Killers, Rosemary’s Baby and Cul-de-sac] would himself die under dubious circumstances in December of 1968 A.D. Being an associate of Roman Polanski, one had a 66.6% or better chance of being murdered than did the average member of the general population) (And now for a story to further set the magical stage. According to former Governor of California/U.S. President Ronald Reagan’s White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan in his book entitled For the Record, Regan writes: “…the most closely guarded domestic secret of the Reagan White House” was that “Virtually every major move and decision the Reagans made during my time as White House Chief of Staff was cleared in advance with a woman in San Francisco [a Vassar-educated astrologer witch named Joan Quigley, daughter of a wealthy 900

hotelier] who drew up horoscopes to make certain that the planets were in a favorable alignment for the enterprise.” [Another such famous Vassar-educated astronomer (astronomer’s of the day were also astrologers/practitioners of magic; the knowledge of constellations being essential to both pursuits) was Benjamin Franklin’s cousin (first cousin, four times removed) Maria Mitchell who was a member of Benjamin Franklin’s American Philosophical Society. Note the close Franklin family association to the Boston Brahmin group. Vassar College, for which institute of higher learning Franklin D. Roosevelt served as trustee before his ascendency to the presidency, is located in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., ground zero of the truly magical Spiritualist Movement in America]. As Joan Quigley herself in her book entitled What Does Joan Say? testified concerning her role in this affair: “Not since the days of the Roman emperors—and never in the history of the United States Presidency—has an astrologer played such a significant role in the nation’s affairs of State.” Other prominent astrologers with whom the Reagan’s had consulted were the psychic astrologer Jeane Dixon and the Los Angeles Times astrologer Carroll Righter who was famously known as the “astrologer to the stars.” And did I mention magic and astrology go hand in hand? This fact cannot be stressed enough: “Astrology is essentially a magical art.” – The Black Arts p.219 by Richard Cavendish, 1967 A.D. To provide a little flavor of the times, I quote the following People’s Magazine article entitled ‘The President’s Astrologers’: “It’s not clear when or how Nancy [Reagan, nѐe] Davis—who arrived in Hollywood in the late ’40s and signed her first contract with MGM in 1949—first came under the seer’s care (MGM, it must be noted, was the studio where Aldous Huxley got his first start writing Hollywood screenplays with MGM’s Pride and Prejudice [1940 A.D.]—fellow British spy Laurence Olivier stars in this film). By November 1950, however, she ranked high enough on [Carroll] Righter’s roster to merit a mention in his celebrity column for Horoscope magazine. ‘With her progressed moon passing through her 10th house...Nancy [Reagan, nѐe] Davis’ movie career moves steadily forward,’ wrote Righter between items on Judy Garland (who starred in The Wizard of Oz, a tale of magic, witches and wizards), Alan Ladd and Ingrid Bergman. [Actor] Ronald Reagan, whom Nancy married in 1952 [serving as best man at Reagan’s wedding was actor William Holden who had served with Reagan during WWII in General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit], was also getting career advice from Righter in this period (both Ronald and Nancy Reagan lunched every Wednesday with Carroll Righter, the top Hollywood astrologer of his day, from the late 1940’s well into the 1950’s) [and: “By the ’60s, Reagan’s interest had turned to politics, and his stable of (astrological) advisers (read: the group of witches with which he consulted) had widened to include Jeane Dixon.”]…A dapper, lifelong bachelor, Righter was, in a way, the society ‘walker’ of his day, confidante of the rich and famous, who saw him less as a backdoor soothsayer than as social equal. He attended Tyrone Power’s wedding in Rome (actor Tyrone Power was a relative of British spy Laurence Olivier whose uncle was a Fabian Society-member, a group whose membership ranks were largely composed of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members). He lunched at the Brown Derby** (an upscale iconic Hollywood restaurant located near Hollywood and Vine and owned by Herbert K. Somborn, the second husband of actress Gloria Swanson [whom Kenneth Anger identifies as being a “real, bona fide, black-magical witch” in his book Hollywood Babylon II p.13]—it was ‘the place to be and to be seen in Hollywood’). His ‘zodiac parties’ in the ’50s were the highlights 901

of every season. ‘All the stars were there—Rhonda Fleming [who co-starred in numerous films with Ronald Reagan during the 1940’s and ’50s], [the OSSassociated actress] Marlene Dietrich, Lana Turner, Hedy Lamarr, Betty Grable,’ says former Righter pal Arlene Dahl. ‘Fish were swimming around in his pool for the Pisces party, and he rented a live lion for my Leo party.’ No matter that Leo (the lion) was once so doped he fell into the pool and had to be hauled out by guests: The parties were adored and so was Righter…Righter himself took calls at all hours, keeping the charts of most-favored clients in a file by his bed for late-night consultations. ‘They need me here,’ he said, ‘Just like they need a doctor.’ …Nancy [Reagan] was a regular customer at the seer’s sprawling Hollywood Hills mansion. Making her appointments under the name Nancy Davis, she would arrive in sunglasses with a bandanna over her head, in a red Datsun driven by a liveried chauffeur…Writer Sally Quinn, who once investigated the capital’s astrology habits for the Washington Post, says, ‘I was amazed at the kinds of people who actually made political decisions based on astrological charts.’ But though many of the power elite consult astrologists, she says, ‘nobody admits it.’” Sounds like their so-called Family Values were Manson Family values to me! Of an interesting note, Righter conveniently died the day after Donald Regan’s book hit the stands before Righter could offer any embarrassing and career ending previously unknown insights. Wonder whatever happened to his bedside file—perhaps it advantageously met its demise as well) (** Located very near to the Brown Derby was the Stanley Rose Book Shop [and gallery] which served as a ‘clubhouse’ for writers [located directly across the street from the Hollywood Screen Writers Guild] frequented by such luminous writers as Aldous Huxley and Ben Hecht and stars including Charlie Chaplin (Chaplin was known to attend Huxley family parties at Aldous Huxley’s house in Hollywood [See p.27 City of Nets by Otto Freidrich]), Bundy Drive Boys John Barrymore and W.C. Fields, Marion Davies (Marion Davies is well noted for her relationship with Bohemian Club member/Warner Bros. associate William Randolph Hearst and the lavish parties held on the Hearst estate whose guests included future U.S. President John F. Kennedy, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, P.M. Winston Churchill, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Bob Hope and Charlie Chaplin as well as no doubt a number of the aforementioned Hollywood stars of this era), Jean Harlow and the OSS-associated actress Marlene Dietrich. A linear descendent of the Stanley Rose Book Shop was Clara Grossman’s American Contemporary Gallery [See pp.211-212 On the Edge of America: California Modernist Art, 1900-1950], a key location in the avante-garde underground film movement of which Kenneth Anger was a part. It was there at Clara Grossman’s gallery [which screened avantegarde films by filmmakers including Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger and Curtis Harrington] where Kenneth Anger had first met Curtis Harrington—the two would soon become close friends even co-founding a company called Creative Film Associates [See pp.18-20 Anger by Bill Landis]. As we learn therefrom: “There was a group of American film makers working outside the studio system since the 1920s who used nonnarrative structures (silent films often accompanied by musical scores, the forerunner to the modern-day music video) to explore myth, mysticism, personal sexuality, and the unconscious mind. This group would form the inner core of the aesthetic movement that would popularly be known as ‘underground film’ (included in this group was filmmaker Stan Brakhage [a friend of Kenneth Anger, Marjorie Cameron, Maya Deren and Kenneth Rexroth], Beat poet/filmmaker James 902

Broughton** [Broughton was a friend of Alan Watts and Michael McClure; Alan Watts and Gavin Arthur appear in James Broughton’s 1968 A.D. film The Bed], Robert Duncan [another friend of Alan Watts who was a key figure in the San Francisco Renaissance. Duncan was a student/friend of poet Hilda Doolittle, aka H.D., known for her associations with Ezra Pound (Ezra Pound himself had been a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn leader W.B. Yeats and counterintelligence czar James Angleton) and Sigmund Freud. Robert Duncan and Kenneth Anger would carry on a decades-long friendship], mystic filmmaker Jordan Belson and Andy Warhol with whom Ronald and Nancy Reagan were associated). There were no national distributors, so these films were either self-distributed or handled through small collectives like Creative Film Associates. Anger’s and Harrington’s Creative Film Associates distributed the Whitney Brother’s films [James and John Whitney, Sr. James Whitney was known for his collaborations with Edmund Teske. John Whitney, Sr., a teacher at CalTech and a Guggenheim Fellowship award-winner, is considered to be one of the fathers of computer graphics (aka ‘computer animation’) which paved the way for such CG classic-films as Star Wars© and Close Encounters of the Third Kind©; in 1952 A.D. he had directed engineering films on classified guided missile (rocketry) projects (which likely places him within OTO-member Jack Parsons’ camp) and in 1966 A.D. became IBM’s first artist-in-residence] and those films created by various East Coast filmmakers [including those films produced by OTO-member/Hotel Chelsea stalwart Harry Smith: “…a bizarre cat with serious links to the occult and drug subcultures” whom Kenneth Anger had first met in 1944 A.D. (Harry Smith attended the same OTO lodge as Kenneth Anger’s neighbor, Jack Parsons)]. Among the most important of the latter was Maya Deren.” – Anger pp.20,21,34. It was also at Grossman’s gallery where Kenneth Anger met Hollywood actor/IRA proponent Gene Kelly [Ibid p.54]. So many of these filmmakers tie together through the Hotel Chelsea in New York and through its associated Cinema 16 private membership-only [formulated in order to circumvent existing obscenity laws prohibiting the public screening of ‘obscene’ films] film society [in existence from 1947–1963 A.D.] founded by Amos Vogel [who would at its closing co-found the New York Film Festival for which he would serve as director from 1963-1968 A.D], author of the art history book entitled Film as a Subversive Art [1974 A.D.]. A graduate of The New School for Social Research, Amos Vogel was the first formal programmer to present films by ‘underground’ film makers including Kenneth Anger, Roman Polanski, Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage and James Broughton (that Amos Vogel was connected to the whole Samson De Brier magic scene is evidenced by the book Cinema 16: Documents Toward a History of the Film Society by Macdonald Scott, 2002 A.D. which contains a ‘Letter to Amos Vogel from Samson de Brier, 9/1/55’ as well as extensive correspondence between Kenneth Anger and Amos Vogel likewise dating from the 1950s during which period Kenneth Anger was an active member of the Samson De Brier magic group. New School for Social Research-attendee John Cage was also an individual with whom Amos Vogel had corresponded). James Broughton had been a teacher at the San Francisco Art Institute [at this time (from 1963-1973 A.D.) headed by Harvard University grad Theodore L. Eliot, a member of the eminent Boston Brahmin Eliot family (the American branch of a prominent British family) whose family ranks included author T.S. Eliot] where many musicians of the era studied including Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead (James 903

Broughton was also part of a small group of filmmakers which included Frank Staubacher and Jordan Belson [a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith] which showed the work of independent film artists including films by Kenneth Anger and Maya Deren at the Art in Cinema Film Society at the San Francisco Museum of Art). This institute, formerly known as the California School of Design was where studied numerous artists during the 1920s and ’30s who were card-carrying members of the Bohemian Club including Xavier Martinez, Maynard Dixon and Beat poet Kenneth Rexroth’s friend Ralph Stackpole. Many had during their studies lived together at the Montgomery Block building. As we learn from Wikipedia: “The Montgomery Block was San Francisco’s first fireproof and earthquake resistant building. It was located at 628 Montgomery Street, on the south-east corner of the intersection of Montgomery and Washington streets…for a hundred years headquarters for many outstanding lawyers, financiers, writers, actors, and artists. Its tenants included artists and writers of all kind and it also hosted many illustrious visitors, among them Jack London, George Sterling, Lola Montez, Lotta Crabtree, Gelett Burgess, Maynard Dixon, Frank Norris, Ambrose Bierce, Bret Harte, the Booths and [Theosophical Society-member] Mark Twain.” Ralph Stackpole had also resided there along with bohemian artist Shirley Triest. Again, most of these individuals were Bohemian Club members/Bohemian Grove attendees. Located nearby at 710 Montgomery Street was the famous gay bar known as The Black Cat [established 1906 A.D.], a gathering spot for the bohemian crowd/Beat poets and for San Francisco Chronicle reporters as well, once dubbed “the best gay bar in America” by homosexual Beat poet Allen Ginsberg) (**As we learn from pp.229-230 On the Edge of America: California Modernist Art, 1900-1950, a number of the individuals associated with the American Contemporary Gallery including Edmund Teske and the Whitney brothers resided at the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Olive Hill residence/estate of Pennsylvania oil heiress Aline Barnsdall located in Hollywood, CA. Aline Barnsdall had been an important financial contributor allowing for the creation of the Hollywood Bowl amphitheater [originally built by a pair of Theosophical Society members with Krotona Colony associations]. Aline Barnsdall was a well known patron of the arts whose home had operated as an artist’s salon up until her death in 1946 A.D., a salon which attracted the likes of visitors including Bertold Brecht and Anais Nin [Anais Nin was married to Rupert Pole whose own mother was married to Lloyd Wright (a former production designer at Paramount Studios, Wright helped design elements of the Hollywood Bowl amphitheater), son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright]. As quoted therein: “James Whitney’s and [Edmund] Teske’s fascination with spiritual disciplines brought them to the Vedanta Center, where they became friends with the British expatriates Christopher Isherwood [Isherwood was a friend of Aleister Crowley], Gerald Heard, and Aldous Huxley [Edmund Teske had resided in Olive Hill’s Studio Residence B: “Artists, filmmakers, writers, and other talents would converge on the legendary Studio Residence B, where Teske lived. Located on the grounds of Olive Hill, a 36-acre site in Hollywood designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the estate was envisioned as a center for the arts by its owner Aline Barnsdall. During his four years there, Teske’s work took shape and flourished. The photographer Man Ray [Man Ray was a student at the anarchistic Modern School in New York City (in which revolutionary Jewish anarchist Emma Goldman was involved), members of which in 1912 A.D. had plotted to bomb the mansion of John D. Rockefeller] and his wife Juliet, writer Anaïs Nin, (RKO) film directors Lewis 904

Milestone (who during WWI was employed as a film maker in the U.S. Army Signal Corp [Military Intelligence]) and George Cukor (who would during WWII serve in the U.S. Army Signal Corp [Military Intelligence]), and architect John Lautner (an apprentice of architect Frank Lloyd Wright) were among the luminaries Teske hosted. His friendship with writers Christopher Isherwood, Gerald Heard, and Aldous Huxley led to the study of Vedanta, a branch of Hinduism that would greatly influence Teske’s work. He developed a regimen of meditation, prayer, and study at the Vedanta temple in the Hollywood Hills and soon began to apply its philosophy of oneness to his photographs by experimenting with composite printing.” – Spirit into Matter: The Photographs of Edmund Teske]. This Olive Hill salon also served as a screening place for such experimental filmmakers as Maya Deren, Curtis Harrington, and Kenneth Anger.” James Whitney interestingly enough was a friend of The New School for Social Research teacher/anarchist John Cage. Another interesting fact is it was architect Frank Lloyd Wright [presumably related to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Francis Wright (See p.120 The Golden Dawn Scrapbook)] who had designed and built the Guggenheim Museum [the founding director of which, Baroness artist Hilla von Rebay, had herself attended a series of Rudoph Steiner’s lectures in Switzerland in 1904 A.D. at which time Steiner was then serving as the general secretary of the German branch of the Theosophical Society] for the Pennsylvania-born/Switzerland-educated ‘philanthropist’ Solomon R. Guggenheim [husband of Irene Rothschild] in New York City, founder of the Guggenheim Foundation and uncle to Peggy Guggenheim [who has quite extensive Theosophical Society associations as well] who was herself a good friend of John Cage. John Cage was a friend of Paul Bowles who himself was a friend of Christopher Isherwood, a friend of Aleister Crowley. All roads do in fact lead back to Aleister Crowley) Laurel Canyon residents (including small children) have long had a nasty bad habit of turning up dead (50% chance at one point for our select control group, and many had died at the tender age of 27—perhaps there was an insurance rider—perhaps these were the terms of some Hollywood fostered Faustian-type deal reminiscent of Nobel Prize winning author Thomas Mann’s novel Doktor Faustus [1947 A.D.], the tale of a composer [musician] who makes a deal with the devil, his soul in exchange for 24 years of creative genius), victims of violent murder, ‘tragic accidents’ and more often than not police-ruled drug-induced ‘suicides.’ As many deaths occurred on important occult dates, even perhaps falling into the ritual murder/ritual suicide category, I believe at least one moral to this story is in order: Never make a pact with the devil—you can check out any time you like but you can never leave, ’cept of course in a nice pine box (though there’s plenty of room at the Hotel Chelsea in New York; it’s such a lovely place with which all of our major players are associated. The ghost of Harry Smith would love to have ya. Harry Smith was of course a consecrated OTO bishop and the Chelsea Hotel’s resident Voodoo priest: “(Harry) Smith’s parents, Robert James Smith and Mary Louise, were influenced by the early modern Spiritualist movement in the United States. They were, reportedly, Pantheist Theosophists, interested in the work of Madame Blavatsky (they being Theosophical Society members). His (great)grandfather was founder of a fraternity (the U.S. franchise of the Knights Templar) that was an off-shoot of the Freemasons in the US (he also served as a Union Gerneral during the Civil War)…His mother taught on the (Native-American) Lummi Reservation where Smith claimed to receive a shamanic initiation at a young age. Smith recorded many Lummi songs and (magic) rituals, with equipment built by himself and with notation of his own devising, and developed an important collection of (Shamanic) religious objects (Harry Smith also created an anthology of folk-music recordings [the Anthology of American Folk Music (1952 A.D.) released by 905

Folkways Records© for which company Dane Rudyar’s friend Henry Cowell (both members of the Theosophical Society) served as consultant from the early 1950s to the mid 1960s. Folkways Records© (acquired by the Smithsonian Institute in 1987 A.D.) promoted early folk music musicians including Woodie Guthrie and Pete Seeger (both of whom Harry Smith had personally known)] which paved the way for the 1950s and ’60s folk music revival centered around a small Greenwich Village folk-music scene which included the likes of musician Bob Dylan. Both Bob Dylan and OTO-member Harry Smith were friends of Allen Ginsberg). In the late 1940s he (Harry Smith) began work with Charles Stansfeld Jones (Jones had been a member of Aleister Crowley’s A.:A.: magic order; it was in Jones’ OTO magic lodge where Jack Parsons first received his initiation into the OTO) and (artist) Albert Handel (the one-time Beatnik Harry Smith was part of the group involved in the so-called San Francisco Renaissance [consisting of the Beatnik poets] prior to his relocating to New York City). Smith also created a set of irregularly-shaped Tarot cards, one of which was adapted for the color Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) degree certificates, and used with several others for the paperback Holy Books of Thelema which Smith designed. He also studied the Enochian (magic) system (of Dr. John Dee) in depth, compiling a concordance of the Enochian language with the aid of Khem Caigan (from the Magickal Childe Book Shop in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood [formerly The Warlock Shoppe and located in Brooklyn] which has been described as “ground zero of the occult explosion in New York City in the 1970s”** complete with back room temple and school of magic, a magic group which included witches Herman Slater and Eddie Buczynski [it was Slater and Buczynski who owned the bookshop], a friend of witch Dr. Leo Martello), his assistant throughout much of the 70s and early 80s. Smith was a familiar figure in the New York Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) from the late 1970s on… in 1986 he was consecrated a bishop in the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica (the OTO’s religious arm).” – Wikipedia: Harry Everett Smith (**Writing concerning this modern day occult explosion circa 1973 A.D.: “Drawing-room séances have become a normal activity of suburban life, while the ouija board is perhaps even more popular among modern Americans today than during the great spiritualist upsurge of the 1850s. More significant still, perhaps, is the rise and development of the witch cult in the United States where there are now said to be over four hundred Wicca covens.” – p.140 Witchcraft by Eric Maple. Significantly enough, the ‘Father of American Wicca’ Raymond Buckland’s Wicca witch coven established in 1963 A.D. was also headquartered there on Long Island in New York City, home to the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick). OTO-member Harry Smith spent his last years (19881991 A.D.) as ‘shaman in residence’ at the Naropa Institute (now known as Naropa University). Note the OTO association to the Naropa Institute, no doubt a U.S. government certified OTO school of magic. Harry Smith was, notably enough, a friend of Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page—Page had owned Aleister Crowley’s Boleskine House and provided the soundtrack for the Aleister Crowley-associated OTO-member Jack Parsons’ old neighbor OTO-member Kenneth Anger’s ‘underground’ film Lucifer Rising. Harry Smith even claimed to be Aleister Crowley’s son). For anyone interested in more information on the subject of Laurel Canyon, its mysterious deaths and its resident’s ties to the Intelligence community, I would like to direct them to Dave McGowan’s most excellent exposѐ Inside the LC at ‘The Center for An Informed America’ (davesweb.cnchost.com). Laurel Canyon itself is very near Studio City (Laurel Canyon Boulevard runs right through the heart of Studio City) where OTO leader Aleister Crowley’s former personal secretary Israel Regardie had opened shop as a Reichian Therapist** (Regardie was a member of Stella Matutina, a successor organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Many Hollywood employees lived there in Studio City (**Reichian Therapy was named after its founder Wilhelm Reich which seguѐs us into the following Notable Quote: “A distinguished victim of his own interest in the UFO problem was the psychologist Dr. Wilhelm Reich. From observations of unidentified luminous objects over his laboratories at Rangeley, Maine…he became convinced the objects were intergalactic spacecraft… Reich’s obsession with the subject led to a change in his character [a classic case of Overshadowing?] and a series of disasters, ending with his death in prison.” 906

Another Oscar-worthy supporting actor in our entertaining Tinsel Town drama is an enterprising Boston banker named Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. According to ex-child actor/avante-guarde filmaker Kenneth Anger in Hollywood Babylon II p.35,39: “Joseph P. Kennedy (Sr.), bootlegger to the film colony…was, during the Twenties (the 1920s), Hollywood’s top-drawer booze connection” illicitly importing during the Prohibition Era the finest contraband Scotch, whiskey and champagne Europe could supply. As we learn from The Sins of the Father p.36: “Joe ordered liquor from overseas distillers (the distillation of spirits is itself an alchemical process and distillers are, essentially, alchemists) and supplied it to organized crime syndicates that picked up the liquor on the shore. Frank Costello would later say that Joe approached him for help in smuggling liquor. Joe would have the liquor dumped at a so-called Rum Row—a transshipment point where police were paid to look the other way—and Costello would then take over. Costello was allied with men like Meyer Lansky, Joe Adonis (Adonis supervised the Luciano crime family’s interests in Greenwich Village, N.Y.), Louis ‘Lepke’ Buchalter (head of Murder, Inc.), Abner ‘Longy’ Zwillman (Zwillman, known as the ‘Al Capone of New Jersey’ had dated actress Jean Harlow who was godmother to mobster Bugsy Siegel’s daughter, Millicent), Dutch Schultz (Psychologist, poet, author and playwright Robert Anton Wilson who has collaborated on books with Timothy Leary connects Dutch Schultz to the global Illuminati-related conspiracy in his Illuminatus! Trilogy), and Charles ‘Lucky’ Luciano. They distributed the liquor, fixed the prices, established quotas, and paid off law enforcement and politicians. They enforced their own law with machine guns, usually calling on experts who did bloody hits on contract. ‘The way he [Costello] talked about him [Joe],’ recalled columnist John Miller, ‘you had the sense that they were close during Prohibition.’” Joe was even one of Chicago gangster Al Capone’s liquor suppliers during the gangster-plagued Prohibition years (Ibid p.37). Kennedy poured the proceeds from his ill-gotten gains into the nowdefunct RKO film studio in a joint venture with the British. Tellingly enough the British Lord Inverforth with whom American Ambassador to Britain Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. was financially involved in his later above-board legal liquor dealings during the post Prohibition years “later showed up during World War II working closely with British Secret Intelligence Services (SIS/MI6) chief William Stephenson” (See Dope, Inc. p.292). And “Joe” was no small bit player in our seedy ongoing saga: “Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, Sr. (September 6, 1888 – November 18, 1969) was a prominent American businessman, investor, and (U.S.) government official. Kennedy, an Irish American (the son of Irish immigrants), was the father of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, United States Attorney General and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, United States Senator Edward M. Kennedy, naval officer Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., Special Olympics co-founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver, and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Jean Kennedy Smith; and the grandfather of U.S. Representatives Joseph P. Kennedy II (D-MA) and Patrick J. Kennedy (D-RI). He was a leading member of the Democratic Party and of the Irish Catholic community. He was the inaugural Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), and later directed the Maritime Commission (Kennedy, Sr. was head of the entire Merchant Marine operation, amongst which was included the Roosevelt Line [of the Roosevelt Steamship Co.] whose founder and president was Kermit Roosevelt, the son of U.S. 907

president Theodore Roosevelt, FDR’s cousin). Kennedy served as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1938 until late 1940, including the early days of World War II (and as such Joe personally knew and worked with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Both Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are descended from one Nicholas Roosevelt (1658 – 1742 A.D.), an active participant in the Revolution of 1688 who sided with John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough and William Penn to overthrow the English King James II. Nicholas Roosevelt would become a prominent citizen of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam [located at the southern tip of Manhattan Island] which would eventually come to be known as New York City following its capture by the British). Born to a political family in Boston, Massachusetts, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. was educated at Boston Latin School and Harvard University, and embarked on a career in finance, making a large fortune as a stock market and commodity investor and by investing in real estate and a wide range of industries (mostly through insider trading practices now considered illegal). At the repeal of Prohibition, Kennedy and FDR’s son James Roosevelt traveled to Scotland to buy distribution rights for Scotch whiskey (during WWII, James Roosevelt [who had retired with the rank of Brigadier General] served on William J. ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan’s COI staff; it was Donovan** who had personally worked with British spy Ian Fleming (Ian Fleming was British spy Aleister Crowleys case officer. See Secret Agent 666) to transform the COI into the OSS in order to coordinate U.S. and British war-time Intelligence efforts; the OSS was a precursor organization of the CIA. James Roosevelt would also serve as United States representative to the United Nations Economic and Social Council. James Roosevelt’s brother, FDR Jr. campaigned for Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr’s son John F. Kennedy during the 1960 West Virginia presidential primary— John F. Kennedy later named FDR Jr. [who at one point in time had married into the Benjamin Franklin-associated du Pont family] Under-Secretary of Commerce in his administration). In addition, Kennedy had purchased spirits-importation rights from Schenley Industries, a firm in Canada. During World War I, he was an assistant general manager of Bethlehem Steel and developed a friendship with Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), then Assistant Secretary of the Navy (no doubt with extensive Navy Intelligence contacts and associations. FDR-instituted New Deal relief funds procured under the National Industrial Recovery Act would be used to build naval warships with steel provided by Bethlehem Steel. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Many leading businessmen—including Gerard Swope (head of General Electric) (his daughter, Henrietta Hill Swope [1902 – 1980 A.D.], was a Harvard/Radcliffe College grad who worked as an astronomer at the CalTech-associated Mount Wilson Observatory. His son John Swope was married to Hollywood actress Dorothy McGuire, an RKO contract actress. Gerard Swope’s brother, Herbert Bayard Swope, was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist associated with the Algonquin Round Table who hosted parties known to have been attended by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, British P.M. Winston Churchill, his son Randolph Churchill, Albert Einstein, Alexander Woollcott, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Dorothy Parker, Harpo Marx [Alexander Woollcott was a friend of Harpo Marx and journalist Walter Duranty, Walter Duranty being an associate of Aleister Crowley] and W. Averill Harriman [W. Averill Harriman was a cabinet member in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidential administration]), Charles M. Schwab (chairman of Bethlehem Steel Corporation), E. H. Harriman (chairman of the Union Pacific 908

Railroad), and Henry I. Harriman, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce— helped draft the legislation.” One of the co-founders of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation [besides providing much of the steel used in American Naval war ships, it also provided the steel for the construction of New York’s Rockefeller Center (as Yale Skull and Bones-member Percy Avery Rockefeller had sat on the board of Bethlehem Steel, on the board of W.A. Harriman & Co./Harriman Brothers & Company and later, on the board of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.) and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, was a leading producer of railroad freight cars and during World Wars I and II would serve as a major arms contractor providing armored plate and ordnance products to the United States armed forces] was the Philadelphia-born Quaker businessman Joseph Wharton, an associate of Thomas Edison and Thomas Huxley who was responsible for the establishment of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania business school. The Wharton family was a prominent Quaker family which has a long storied Pennsylvania history—the William Penn-associated politician Thomas Wharton Jr. would serve as first governor of Penn’s Pennsylvania following the American Revolution, with other Wharton family members serving as members of the Continental Congress involved in Continental Navy shipbuilding, others as mayors of Philadelphia, U.S. diplomats, State Department officials and as traitorous Confederate generals during the American Civil War). Kennedy made huge profits from reorganizing and refinancing several Hollywood studios (with special thanks to funds provided from FDR’s New Deal which served to revitalize the film industry), ultimately merging several acquisitions (including the Radio Corporation of America [RCA; various divisions of which were involved in defense contracting services (in 1986 A.D. RCA Laboratories would be transferred to SRI International)] and Keith-Albee-Orpheum [KAO], a leading chain of vaudeville/film theaters) into Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO) studios (which was later purchased by Howard Hughes). After Prohibition ended in 1933, Kennedy consolidated an even larger fortune when his company, Somerset Importers, became the exclusive American agent for Gordon’s Gin and Dewar’s Scotch. He owned the largest office building in the country, Chicago’s Merchandise Mart (home to NBC Radio’s Studio A and to a major NBC network production center, including Tallulah Bankhead’s The Big Show, the two of whom/which is a connecting link to so many of the players within our story that she must have played an important part therein, Bankhead also having previously been a peripheral member of the Algonquin Round Table group herself. Tallulah Bankhead was a member of the Bankhead/Brockman banking families, her father being a congressional member/political ally of President Franklin D. Roosevelt as well as a supporter of FDR’s New Deal legislation), giving his family an important base in that city and an alliance with the Irish-American political machine leadership there (including the Chicago Mafia and the Mafia-run labor unions)… After his death, various gangsters including Frank Costello claimed to have associated with Kennedy.” – Wikipedia: Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. One of Joe Kennedy’s closest friends (so close he even bought the house next door to Joe’s) was Jazz crooner Morton Downey, also known as the ‘Irish Nightingale’ (Morton Downey sang with Bing Crosby [whose own great-grandfather hailed from County Cork in Ireland] during the 1920s; Bing Crosby, one of the highest-paid stars of Hollywood in his day, was an early investor in the Ampex corporation. Bing Crosby’s own style of singing is known as mordent [aka ‘crooning’] and hails back to the days of the Celtic bard). As 909

we learn from The Sins of the Father p.46, Morton Downey, a close friend of Frank Sinatra, sang at mob-owned clubs and personally knew “all the mob figures.” Morton Downey had even owned part interest in “the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas when Frank Costello was an owner.” And of course Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. was a friend of Morton Downey’s friend Frank Sinatra as well. It was Frank Sinatra who acted as a go between for Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. when Kennedy enlisted Sam Giancana’s help to get his son John F. Kennedy elected president, although: “Soon after Kennedy won the tight race for president, the deal brokered by (Frank) Sinatra came back to haunt him when the Kennedy administration cracked down on the Mafia—an effort led by Robert Kennedy, the president’s brother and attorney general” [See Tina Sinatra: Mob Ties Aided JFK 60 Minutes©, CBS News©, Feb. 11, 2009 A.D.] a power struggle which likely no doubt was a contributing factor in both Robert and John’s subsequent assassinations. Indeed, as Dope, Inc. concludes: “The Kennedy machine is organized crime in government.” Also interesting to note is Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.’s three year affair with Hollywood actress Gloria Swanson whom Kenneth Anger identifies as being a “real, bona fide, black-magical witch” in his book Hollywood Babylon II p.13. (** In 1948 A.D. William J. Donovan [working with Winston Churchill’s son-in-law Duncan Sandys and CIA chief Allen Dulles] would head up the anti-Communist American Committee on United Europe which served to funnel CIA funds to groups including the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community both of which groups would in 1967 A.D. be subsumed into the European Economic Community [created by the Treaty of Rome in 1957 A.D.] which would eventually give birth to the European Union which was formally established in 1993 A.D. Political scholar Henri Bonnet, the so-called father of the European Economic Community, was himself closely associated with The New School for Social Research which school itself had extensive OSS/CIA associations. The European Union it is said is largely controlled by members of the Fabian Society [today headquartered at 11 Dartmouth Street in London] whose membership ranks at its founding consisted of Theosophical Society and Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-members). Our trail of Mafia-associated fallen angel-inspired drugs and gun-running hippies of course leads straight to the doors of the Los Angeles night club known as the Whisky a Go-Go (where else could one go where so many OTO-affiliated Laurel Canyon bands with U.S. Intelligence backgrounds such as John Philips’ [a friend of OTO-member Charlie ‘The Wizard’ Manson, Philips later started his own record label and named it not surprisingly Warlock Records—his 3rd wife being a self-professed avid fan of Aleister Crowley. In his exposѐ The Process, Ed Sanders even ties John Philips to The Process Church of the Final Judgment of which Manson was likewise a member] The Mamas and the Papas [which band was briefly named The Magic Cyrcle] held contractual agreements to perform and play to Whisky a Go-Go-regular/Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan high-priestess Jayne Mansfield amidst the LSD-induced dancing of the LaVey-associated hippie-esque Paulekas Brothers in a business run by an associate of Anton LaVey’s Bugsy Siegal/Mafia associated-uncle!), which at that time was owned in title by an ex-Chicago vice-cop whose night job while in Chicago was by his own admission “running nightclubs for the outfit (Mafia) – for gangsters.” You don’t say. Which is probably where originates the saying that everyone in Hollywood is either a producer or a hitman (or, as I might duly add, dutifully immersed in both professions). The Whisky a Go-Go (established 1964 A.D.) is a legendary place (and allegedly a major drug trafficking site in the late 1960s) located on the equally legendary Sunset Strip in Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA. Today, you’ll be happy to learn, the Whisky a Go-Go has been franchised. As one may ascertain from Wikipedia: “In 1958, the first Whisky a Go-Go in North America opened in Chicago, Illinois (where Anton LaVey’s family lived prior to their move to 910

California), on the corner of Rush Street and Chestnut Street (an area of strip-clubs and Xrated film theaters where drugs, prostitutes and gangstas ran freely, often provided with police protection)… A franchise was opened in 1966 on M Street in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C., by restaurateur Jacques Vivien. A relatively new Whisky a Go-Go has been opened at (you guessed it) the Old Port of Tel Aviv (in Israel).” The original ‘original Whisky a Go-Go’ was located in the Soho entertainment district in London, England. Soho, home of the late 1950s Soho Beatnik acid [LSD] parties, was a major Jazz music scene during the 1950s [as Beatnik poetry is typically recited to Jazz music accompaniment], home to a large number of night clubs which later hosted 1960s Mod (a shortened form of ‘Modernism’ as such musical genres belong to the Modernist category; it is from magic and mysticism and specifically automatism from which has evolved Modernism) bands including The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and is also near the heart of the London theater area. Soho itself has been the heart of London’s ‘sex scene’ for the past 200 years. Soho was a major area for prostitution and organized crime during the 1950s and ’60s, and likewise abounded with mob corrupted police officers. And where formerly in Soho there had been an open air sex industry, with the introduction of the Street Offences Act in 1959 A.D. many of these night clubs brought the sex industry indoors and began to operate as fronts for prostitution. It is in this organized-crime riddled atmosphere where: “…in 1960, London’s first sex cinema theatre, the Compton Cinema Club (a membership only club to get around the [the Street Offenses Act] law) opened at 56 Old Compton Street. It was owned by Michael Klinger and Tony Tenser who produced many of the early Roman Polanski films such as [the gangsterthemed] Cul-de-sac (1966).” – Wikipedia: Soho. Note the organized crime/prostitution/drugs/nightclub/music scene associations as well as the inclusion of ‘Underground’ film maker Roman Polanski. It is as if Soho were looking in a mirror darkly only to find Los Angeles and San Francisco staring right back at it. According to the Beatnik hippie Ed Sanders, himself a member of the Mod group The Fugs, The Process Church of the Final Judgment co-founder Mary Anne DeGrimston was, before her stints with the Scientologists and The Process Church of the Final Judgment, one of these prostitutes from Soho (See The Process by Ed Sanders). Such status precludes an organized crime association. As we also learn from Sanders: “The black-caped, black-garbed, death-worshiping Process Church of the Final Judgment (an English occult society) arrived on the Los Angeles scene in early 1968. They stayed in public view till a few days after Robert Kennedy’s assassination in June of ’68, after which they dropped from sight in Los Angeles... And now it was the spring of the (Chinese calendar) Year of the Pig 1968 and they were swarming the streets of Sunset Strip, trying to convert psychedelic merchants, seeking out movie stars and especially they doted on the hell-oriented bikers and bike gangs that frequented Hollywood (including the Hell’s Angels and the Straight Satans, the former S.S. leader of which was a Manson Family member named Danny De Carlo who had provided Manson’s group with weapons including the gun used in the Tate-LaBianca murders. De Carlo like Manson was one of these Process Church converts).” - The Process by Ed Sanders. Notably enough: “A lot of Straight Satans spent passing time at the various houses at which the Mansonists lived.” – p.148 The Family by Ed Sanders. Another Manson Family member recruited from the Sunset Strip was a man named Charles Pierce, known as Sunshine for the brand of acid (Orange Sunshine) he peddled on Hollywood street corners. In the words of Pierce himself: “We was running dope down from San Francisco and Los Angeles, selling it on street corners…(no doubt as part of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love drug dealing syndicate)” – p.178 The Family by Ed Sanders (in 1970 A.D., ‘Sunshine,’ pockets flush with drug money, would buy a house near Esalen Institute, become a member of its residential program and as well a member of the associated Big Sur Family commune where he would subsequently be suicided with a bullet to the head [See p.235 The Upstart Spring]). Another famous Soho prostitute of the day was a woman named Christine Keeler: “Christine Margaret Keeler (born 22 February 1942) is an English former model and 911

showgirl. Her involvement with a British government minister discredited the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan in 1963 (it was during Harold Macmillan’s reign that the Street Offences Act of 1959 A.D. was enacted), in what is known as the Profumo Affair. In July 1961, (Stephen) Ward (“Ward [who lived in a cottage on the Astor estate] was himself a dabbler in the occult [most specifically “…in ‘black’ magic…”] and on his death [he was ‘suicided’ with sleeping pills in 1963 A.D.] there was a great deal of scurrying around among certain London [black magic] practitioners to cover their traces in case the subsequent enquiries should lead to their doors.” – p.15 The Anatomy of Witchcraft by Peter Haining. Stephen Ward was in fact an Osteopathic ‘witch doctor’ [and, as we learn from the Denning Report, a pimp, for which offense Stephen Ward was prosecuted] amongst whose notable Osteopathic ‘patients’ were British Prime Minister Winston Churchhill, Prince Phillip, Princess Margaret, Lord Astor, Ava Gardner, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Soviet spy Anthony Blunt, MI5 director-general Roger Hollis and American ambassador to Britain W. Averill Harriman [years later, it was learned, Stephen Ward was acting as a double agent, working for both the MI5 and for the KGB]) introduced her to John Profumo, the British Secretary of State for War, at a pool party at Cliveden (former home of the 1930s pro-Nazi Cliveden Set), the Buckinghamshire mansion owned by Lord Astor (Lord Astor’s sons Sir John ‘Jakie’ Astor and Michael Astor had been GHQ Liason Regiment [British Intelligence] officers during WWII serving alongside British spies Ian Fleming [author of the James Bonds spy series novels] and his friend David Niven [Buckinghamshire itself was home to the British Intelligenceconnected Pinewood Studios founded by Arthur J. Rank where many of the spy-themed James Bond movies were filmed. Pinewood Studios is located adjacent to Black Park where many of the Hammer Horror films were filmed as well]. Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., who had also served as the American ambassador to England, links to the Cliveden Set group through his friendship with Lady Nancy Astor who was herself a friend of George Bernard Shaw. Lady Nancy Astor’s son William Astor had during the 1930s served as personal secretary to Victor Bulwer-Lytton, the son of prominent occultist Robert Bulwer-Lytton [William Astor himself was accused of having had an affair with Christine Keeler’s friend Mary Rice-Davies during Profumo Affair investigations]). Profumo entered into an affair with Keeler, not realising that she was also sleeping with drug dealer Johnny Edgecombe—as well as Yevgeni Ivanov, a naval attaché (and known Russian KGB spy) at the embassy of the Soviet Union (Author’s Note: so of course Keeler was a spy and Profumo had been ‘had’). The affair was terminated by the government’s Cabinet Secretary, Sir Norman Brook, who spoke to Profumo on the advice of Sir Roger Hollis, the head of MI5 (this case has many parallels to JFK’s own experience and suggests an interrelated modus operandi. Stephen Ward’s fellow spy-partner was a photographer named Antony Beauchamp who had photographed John F. Kennedy’s mistress Marilyn Monroe also around this time. This pair of spies would typically recruit beautiful young women whose specialties included gathering information from the beds of high-powered men. Marilyn Monroe [like Stephen Ward] was similarly ‘suicided’ with sleeping pills in 1962 A.D.). On 9 August 1961, Profumo wrote to Keeler advising her he could no longer see her. However, when Johnny Edgecombe was arrested for shooting a gun at the door of Keeler’s home, news of the affair became public, creating a scandal resulting in the resignation of Profumo. Keeler became a celebrity (the Profumo Affair vaulted the Labour Party leader/Labour Party candidate Harold Wilson to a 1964 A.D. election win to become Britain’s Prime Minister [one of P.M. Harold Wilson’s subsequent social reforms included the decriminalization of homosexual relations in the privacy of ones own home, homosexuality itself being a major component of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn black magic sex-magic ritual, as well as the liberalisation of the abortion law (abortions being a form of black-magic sacrifice) and the abolition of theater censorship (a boon to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn theater owners)]).” – Wikipedia: Christine Margaret Keeler. Which certainly begs the question, could a former prostitute in a secret occult society, which societies are known to harbor spies as does a harbor harbor ships, herself be a spy? The short answer is yes. When dealing with the Illuminati, each and every one of them is a spy. A favorite haunt of the 912

aforementioned Johnny Edgecombe was the iconic Flamingo Club: “The Flamingo Club was a nightclub that operated in Soho, London (home of the late 1950s Soho Beatnik acid parties), between 1952 and the late 1960s. It was located at 33-37 Wardour Street from 1957 onwards, and played an important role in the development of British rhythm and blues (R&B) and jazz… By 1963 the Flamingo had become known as a centre of the Mod subculture, where fans and musicians of both jazz and R&B music would meet together… The club became recognised as a meeting place for famous musicians, with members of The Beatles (the mysticated members of which often stayed at the Roman Polanski residence when in America on tour), The (all-occult, all the time) Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix (a student of the occult who had served with the special ops 101st Airborne Division who would eventually die of a drug overdose as well) and many others all being regular customers.” – Wikipedia: The Flamingo Club (Jimmy Hendrix’s manager Michael Jeffrey was an MI6 agent who openly boasted of his organized crime connections and of working for the CIA [See Inside the LC]. One Chicago connection to this scene was a film-maker with Swiss citizenship named Giorgio Gomelski who moved from Chicago to London opening the Crawdaddy club at the Station Hotel on Kew Road in Richmond which would later launch The Rolling Stones into the international limelight (as was also the case with the Yardbirds featuring Eric Clapton. Led Zeppelin, whose lead guitar player Jimmy Page [a friend of Kenneth Anger] was himself an ex-Yardbirds bandmember, had also played there. The Yardbirds had in fact replaced The Rolling Stones as the Crawdaddy club house-band when The Rolling Stones hit the big-time). Of this period Tony Sanchez in Up and Down with the Rolling Stones p.19 writes: “…one afternoon George Harrison [of The Beatles] came to see them [The Rolling Stones] after a gig [at the Crawdaddy club] to tell them they [The Rolling Stones] were the best new group he had ever seen. They took him back to the apartment…where they met up with the other three Beatles and talked heady into the night about music and revolution and Chuck Berry and how they were all going to change the world.” They were to remain friends from that time onward. John Lennon himself was a frequent visitor to Keith Richard’s Redlands home [See Life pp.261-262], and Harvard University-grad/musician Gram Parsons even lived with Keith Richards at his Redlands residence for a time [Ibid p.248]. Always assume your Harvard friend is a spy) When MKULTRA was “officially” shut down in 1963 A.D. it would seem it was simply unofficially reconstituted in a slightly different venue (being reclassified under the ‘Human Potential’ banner without as much as skipping a beat), shifting from the sterility of stuffy old medical clinics to newly opened coffee houses and ubiquitous mafia-affiliated night clubs which at this time ‘coincidentally’ enough exploded into existence overnight, spilling into neighboring Laurel Canyon, L.A., in 1963 A.D. This of course correlated with the “official” canning of Dr. Richard Alpert (MKULTRA-associated psychiatrist Timothy Leary’s partner in crime) from his MKULTRA daytime job at Harvard University and with his subsequent reappearance on the Laurel Canyon drug scene as a teacher at Esalen Institute where he worked alongside his MKULTRA colleague Timothy Leary (Charles Manson, a known drug dealer, would become part of the drug infested Laurel Canyon cabal and had associations with all of the major players so involved, having had associations with the Esalen Institute as well). Many musicians there involved had a penchant for guns, drugs and (gun/drug running) yachts. Captain Al Hubbard, who would play such a prominent role in the illicit West Coast MKULTRA LSD scene, had been years prior an intricate player in the American Intelligencerun covert Lend-Lease program which covertly provided arms and armaments to a desperate wartime England under the leadership of P.M. Winston Churchill. This operation was begun in 1940 A.D. under orders of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, carried out via the U.S. Merchant Marine fleet over which Roosevelt’s and Churchill’s friend Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. presided. For all intents and purposes, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. had been Captain Al Hubbard’s, Vito Pauleka’s and Carl Franzoni’s boss]. Suspiciously enough, Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard started a business in early 1946 A.D. in which they were to “buy” boats such 913

as yachts on the East coast in Miami, Florida and sail them via South America to the West coast for “resale,” and not of course (?) Israel-bound (?) contraband/gun/drug related though it was revealed that one of Parsons’ sources of extra income (besides the passing on of classified information to the Israelis) was obtained by “bootlegging nitroglycerine,” a well known explosive with many useful military applications [See pp.155,158 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D.]. At any rate, by 1950 A.D., the CalTech-associated scientist Jack Parsons had according to his FBI file been negotiating with the Israelis to: “…relocate to the newly formed Israel [established 1948 A.D.]…with no less than the head of the American Technion Society” [a society with which Albert Einstein, a one time ‘visiting’ CalTech professor, was associated—Albert Einstein had even toured the United States in a Technion Society fund-raising capacity and served as Chairman of the German Technion Society. In Israel the ‘Technion’ is also known as the Israeli Institute of Technology (as Richard Spence reveals in Secret Agent 666 p.261, “the American Technion Society” was “an affiliate of the Israel Institute of Technology” which “in turn had links to Israeli intelligence, the Mossad” which from its inception in 1949 until 1952 A.D. was headed by Israeli P.M. David Ben-Gurion’s close personal friend Reuven Shiloah having received his appointment directly from David Ben-Gurion himself [recall that beginning in 1951 A.D. James Angleton was responsible for liaison between the CIA and Israel’s Mossad. U.S. Counter-Intelligence czar James Angleton through mutual associations can be linked to Jack Parsons]). As we learn from Wikipedia: “Technion was an active center for the Jewish underground—notably the Haganah—and a source of technological defense solutions crucial to the struggle for (Israeli) independence”] (Ibid p.170) there to head up no doubt an Israeli missile project, likely as part of the newly constituted Department of Aeronautical Engineering, the foundation of Israel’s aerospace and Air Force industries. Apparently Jack Parsons had been under FBI investigation for espionage as he was discovered in an attempt to pass on ‘classified’ Hughes Aircraft Company documents, at which company he was then employed, to the Israelis [Jack Parson’s CalTech co-worker Dr. Theodore Von Karmen, who was also associated with the Technion Society, was also implicated at this time]. So it would seem Jack Parsons was engaged as, such as it were, an Israeli spy likely recruited by his old friend Dr. Theodore Von Karmen himself, and it is an interesting note to insert at this point that as we learn from Craig Heimbichner in Blood on the Altar: “From October, 1948 until June, 1950, [OTO-member Jack] Parsons transferred secret documents relating to US rocket and defense technology to the Israelis. He was caught by personnel from the Propulsion and Research Development Laboratory of Hughes Aircraft, but the US Attorney declined to prosecute Parsons for treason or espionage after the intervention of [33°] Freemason J. Edgar Hoover [the head of the FBI itself].” Later, in 1952 A.D. Parsons died in a mysterious explosion as he was about to leave the country with a cache of explosives, headed to Israel via Mexico. Parsons had been at the time of his death in the employ of the U.S. Naval Ordinance Department (note that his magical partner in the OTO at this time was Navy Intelligence officer L. Ron Hubbard) working on a classified research project (Ibid p.182) (Jack Parsons’ death must also be viewed in respect to America’s involvement in the Korean War [circa 1950 A.D. to the present; we are technically still at war with North Korea; major hostilities, however, were ended in 1953 A.D.]. America under a United Nations flag was embroiled in Korean War combat against elements of Communist North Korea and allied Chinese Communist military forces supported nominally by troops of the Communist Soviet Union engaged as military ‘advisors.’ Jack Parsons himself was known to have frequented a Communist cell and a number of his rocketry team-members were also known Communists. These were the days of the second Red Scare in Cold War America, a country itself engaged in a hot war against allied Communist forces on the divided Korean Peninsula bordering on China in Russia’s back yard. Jack Parsons, it would seem, was a casualty of these wars. Perhaps Jack Parsons was ‘offed’ by a group of assassins tasked in the assassination of those individuals whose public trials would result in unwanted and potentially embarrassing Intelligence revelations much like the one over which James Angleton had presided). Was 914

Laurel Canyon and its environs the center of one of those: “…contraband networks controlled by mobsters who moonlighted as CIA hitmen…” mentioned in the very elucidating MKULTRA exposѐ Acid Dreams? (See also The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia by Alfred McCoy). You make the call. In those days the music industry was relatively in its quite contrived infancy peopled largely by drug-dealing individuals from families with American Intelligence backgrounds hobknobbing with well-known Mafia members. Today it has morphed itself into a global corporate combine. Oh, the magic of Hollywood. It is truly the magick kingdom.

Regarding its contrivance:

“During the fall of 1960, (Aldous) Huxley was appointed visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston. Around his stay in that city, Huxley created a circle at Harvard parallel to his West Coast LSD team. The Harvard group included (Aldous) Huxley, (Dr. Humphrey) Osmond, and (Alan) Watts (brought in from California), Timothy Leary, and Richard Alpert. The ostensible topic of the Harvard seminar was "Religion and its Significance in the Modern Age." The seminar was actually a planning session for the "acid rock" counterculture. Huxley established contact during this Harvard period with the president of Sandoz, which at the time was working on a CIA contract to produce large quantities of LSD and psilocybin (another synthetic hallucinogenic drug) for MKUltra, the CIA’s official chemical warfare experiment. According to recently released CIA documents, Allen Dulles purchased over 100 million doses of LSD—almost all of which flooded the streets of the United States during the late 1960s. During the same period, (Timothy) Leary (a CIA psychiatrist involved in MKULTRA LSD experimentations at Harvard University) began privately purchasing large quantities of LSD from Sandoz as well.” – The Aquarian Conspiracy by Executive Intelligence Review. In a nutshell, Rock and Roll music and the 1960s revolutionary countercultural scene was the result of an Illuminati-run MKULTRA Subproject, and this under CIA/British Intelligence auspices. And even The Beatles can be tied to Harvard University’s William James and Company. Paul McCartney had attended the Liverpool Institute in England where poet Ralph Waldo Emerson [as well as author Charles Dickens] was known in his own time to have delivered many talks and readings (Ralph Waldo Emerson was a friend of Henry James, Sr. and was the godfather of Harvard University Professor William James who was himself involved in pre-MKULTRA entheogenic experimentations). It was there at the Liverpool Institute where Paul McCartney would meet 915

fellow Beatle George Harrison, The Beatles’ road manager Neil Aspinall** (a childhood friend of George Harrison) and Ivan Vaughan (any relation to Thomas Vaughan?), the boyhood friend of John Lennon who had as their cover story goes first introduced John Lennon to Paul McCartney. John Lennon himself was the (expendable) son of a British Merchant Marine-man. No surprise there. (**No doubt Neil Aspinall relates to London horseracing bookmaker John Aspinall [co-owner of the Clermont Club** casino founded in 1962 A.D. in the Mayfair area of London which he sold to Playboy Enterprises in 1972 A.D.], founder of the membership-only nightclub, Annabel’s of London: “Annabel’s was the first of its kind: a member-only nightclub that catered to an exclusive clientele, including The Prince of Wales [Prince Charles], Camilla Shand [Prince Charles’ main squeeze, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall], The Princess Anne [the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II], US President Richard Nixon, Aristotle Onassis [husband of JFK’s widow Jackie Kennedy], [Rat Pack-member] Frank Sinatra [Rat Pack-founder Humphrey Bogart’s mother was the daughter of Frances V. Dewey Churchill, a member of the Churchill family] and the Clermont Set.” – Wikipedia: Annabel’s. Desmond Leslie’s nightclub Annabel’s on the Bog was a spinoff of Anabel’s of London) (** The Clermont Club in the Mayfair district of London was frequented by the Clermont Set, an exclusive group of rich British gamblers: “The club was founded in 1962 by John Aspinall and the original membership included five dukes, five marquesses, almost twenty earls and two cabinet ministers. Society figures included [actor/spy] Peter Sellers [a former RAF member, Peter Seller’s appears in the British spy-filled film Casino Royale [said to be a story partly based upon the Clermont Club itself] with British Intelligence agent-turned-actor David Niven and in various films with members of both the Rat Pack and the Church of Satan (including Samson De Brier magic group attendee Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 A.D. film Dr. Strangelove [screenplay by Terry Southern] alongside future Church of Satan-member/actor Keenan Wynn)], [British spy] Ian Fleming [Aleister Crowley’s case officer during WWII], David Stirling [founder of Britain’s SAS Intelligence service], [artist] Lucian Freud [grandson of psychiatrist Sigmund Freud (a colleague of OSS spy Carl Jung) and a friend of the Kray Twins], ‘Lucky’ Lucan [John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan (down on his luck and implicated for murder, he would mysteriously disappear, never to be heard from again)], Lord Derby [an owner of thoroughbred race horses], Lord 916

Boothby [a friend of the Kray Twins as well as a close personal friend of P.M. Winston Churchill, Lord Boothby’s ‘close’ friend Tom Driberg was an associate of U.S. counterintelligence czar James Angleton’s friend W.H. Auden who served as mentor (read: case officer) to British spy Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood], and [Lucian Freud’s ‘patron’ Andrew Cavendish] the Duke of Devonshire [a Knight of the Order of the Garter].” – Wikipedia: Clermont Club. The Clermont Club was no doubt a post-WWII British Intelligence network, and this with connections to the Robert Kennedy assassination/Manson murders. It must also be noted John Aspinall’s latest private gambling club, Aspinall’s, a private gambling club still in existence today, was itself architecturally designed by one Tessa Kennedy [a great-grandaughter of Sir Alexander Blackie William Kennedy, a co-member along with British spy Aleister Crowley and Crowley’s magical mentor Oscar Eckenstein of the spy filled Alpine Club] whose own famous clients include Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger, Yardbirds’ guitarist Eric Clapton, Beatles’ drummer George Harrison and Samson De Brier magic-group attendee/Hollywood director Stanley Kubrick and whose 1958 A.D. marriage to artist Dominick Elwes took place in Havana, Cuba, they staying as guests of mobster Meyer Lansky at Lansky’s Hotel Habana Riviera casino [itself affiliated with Meyer Lansky’s Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas** in which Rat Pack-member Dean Martin held a minority stake and upon whose stage performed many of the performing artists in our sordid little saga] which Meyer Lansky had finished building in 1957 A.D. [when Fidel Castro took control of Cuba in 1959 A.D. during the Cuban Revolution, he also took control of the Mafia’s casinos, evicting their owners therefrom]. This Kennedy/Lansky association prior to Fidel Castro’s official takeover of Cuba does much to explain President John F. Kennedy’s later partnership with Meyer Lanksy to overthrow Fidel Castro. The Kennedys are related to the Churchills and Balfours by marriage) (**The Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, upon whose stage performed many of the performing artists involved in our story including the Church of Satan-associated members of the Rat Pack and the Rat Pack-associated performing artist Elvis Presley, and the Manson Family-associated Beach Boys, was owned by Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel and run by Hank Greenspun who along with Frank Sinatra was part of the post-WWII international arms selling effort to arm Israeli independence groups including the terrorist group 917

Hagganah and with which clandestine effort Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey [whose uncle was Bugsy Siegel’s business partner] was associated as LaVey so helpfully notes. Hank Greenspun would be arrested and convicted for these Israeli weapons smuggling efforts and would later receive a full presidential pardon from President John F. Kennedy himself) Consider also the findings of Dave McGowan: “As important as the Freaks (the Anton LaVeyassociated hippie/Merchant Marine-men Paulekas Brothers, Vito Paulekas and Carl Franzoni and their retinue; Anton LaVey’s friend Kenneth Anger’s friend and later roommate Bobby Beausoleil [a Manson Family member] was known to hang out at Ciro’s nightclub which was likewise frequented by the Freaks and was well familiar with these individuals) were to building an audience for the new Laurel Canyon bands, there was another group that played a key role as well: Hollywood’s so-called ‘Young Turks.’ Like the Freaks, the Turks became an immediate and constant presence on the newly emerging Sunset Strip scene. And as with the Freaks, their presence on the Strip was heavily promoted by the media (likely due to the CIA’s ongoing infiltration of American and international news organizations as part of its Operation Mockingbird which had begun in the 1950s and which sounded the death knell for good old fashioned investigative journalism leading to our current sad state of non-news journalistic affairs, news stories often largely centering on members of the entertainment industry). Locals and tourists alike knew where to go to gawk at the Freaks and, as an added bonus, quite possibly rub shoulders with the likes of Peter Fonda (the son of actor Henry Fonda who served as a U.S. Navy Intelligence officer during World War II), Jack Nicholson (whose father is ‘mysteriously’ unknown), Bruce Dern (whose own godmother was First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt; his paternal grandfather was George Dern, Secretary of War under the inherently mystic President [with Theosophical Society ties] Franklin D. Roosevelt and his great-uncle none other than poet/spy Archibald MacLeish. Per Inside the LC, Bruce Dern’s grandfather: “George [Dern] had also served as Governor of Utah and Chairman of the National Governors’ Association. Bruce’s mother was born Jean MacLeish, and she happened to be the sister of Archibald MacLeish, who also served under Franklin [Delano] Roosevelt, as the Director of the War Department’s Office of Facts and Figures and as the Assistant Director of the Office of War Information [OWI]. In other words, Archibald MacLeish was essentially America’s Minister of War Propaganda. He also served at various times as an Assistant Secretary of State and as the Librarian of Congress (where he worked closely in conjunction with the CIA in order to coordinate its fact-finding efforts there). By far the most impressive item on his resumé, however, was his membership in everyone’s favorite secret society, Skull and Bones (class of 1915, one year before Prescott Bush [who was related to U.S. Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush] was tapped in 1916).”), Dennis Hopper (Dennis Hopper’s father was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge at which time Jack Parsons’ was in constant contact with British spy Aleister Crowley) and Warren Beaty (Beatty’s father, Ira Owens Beaty, was a CIA-associated professor of psychology no doubt of the MKULTRA variety), along with their female counterparts like Jane Fonda (also known as ‘Hanoi Jane,’ daughter of the aforementioned Navy Intelligence officer-turned-actor Henry Fonda), Nancy Sinatra (the daughter of Frank Sinatra whose family had major [CIA-associated] Mafia connections) and (OTO witch) Sharon Tate (whose own father was a high-ranking Army Intelligence officer. Nancy Sinatra, Warren Beatty [Warren Beatty was a close associate of Sharon Tate’s friend, Navy vet Jay Sebring] and Jane Fonda were known to have frequented parties at the Polanski/Tate residence located at 10050 Cielo Drive, the scene of Charles Manson’s most infamous murders [See p.166 The Family by Ed Sanders]. Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Sharon Tate notably enough all attended a school of acting run by Hollywood actor Jeff 918

Corey, an actor blackballed in the 1950s by the House Committee on Un-American Activities [Jeff Corey’s first movie appearance following this ban was the Ransohoff-produced film The Cincinnati Kid (1965 A.D.), screenplay by Terry Southern]. Jane Fonda was married to French screenwriter/producer/director Roger Vadim whose own mother at one point in time had run a hostel in the French Alps which served as an underground railroad of sorts for Jews fleeing Nazi Germany. Rolling Stones band-member Keith Richards also personally knew Jane Fonda, and her husband Roger Vadim would serve as Best Man at Mick Jagger’s wedding to Bianca. Keith Richards’ girlfriend Anita Pallenberg had even appeared in the Roger Vadim-directed film Barbarella [filmed in Rome circa 1968 A.D.] with co-star Jane Fonda, the movie set on which Keith Richards was himself a frequent visitor [Barbarella was likewise the film-adaptation of a Terry Southern screenplay, the sci-fi tale of a blind angel who has lost his ability to fly]) (Nancy Sinatra appeared with Bruce Dern and Henry Fonda’s son Peter Fonda in the film The Wild Angels: “The Wild Angels is a 1966 Roger Corman film [a WWII Navy vet, Corman studied Engineering at Stanford University and English Literature at Oxford University, university home of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order], made on location in Southern California. The Wild Angels was made three years before Easy Rider and was the first film to associate actor Peter Fonda with Harley-Davidson motorcycles and 1960s counterculture. It was also the film that inspired the outlaw biker film genre that continued into the early 1970s (The Wild Angels itself owes its inspiration to ‘underground’ filmmaker Kenneth Anger’s outlaw biker film Scorpio Rising). “The Wild Angels, released by American International Pictures (AIP), stars (Peter) Fonda as the fictitious (Neo-Nazi) Hells Angels San Pedro, California chapter president "Heavenly Blues" (or "Blues"), Nancy Sinatra as his girlfriend "Mike," Bruce Dern as doomed fellow outlaw "the Loser," and Dern’s real-life wife Diane Ladd as the Loser’s onscreen wife, "Gaysh" (Diane Ladd was a second cousin to playwright Tennessee Williams [Tennessee Williams being an associate of Marlon Brando and Kenneth Anger]. Diane Ladd [former wife of Bruce Dern] appears in the 1973 A.D. cinematic Satanic celebration entitled The Devil’s Daughter and would appear in Roman Polanski’s 1974 A.D. film, Chinatown with John Huston, a former Intelligence officer in ‘Hap’ Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit, along with Jack Nicholson, with whose daughter [John Huston’s] Jack Nicholson would become romantically involved). Small supporting roles are played by Michael J. Pollard (an actor who received his training at Lee Strasberg’s Actors Studio) and Gayle Hunnicutt (she would marry British actor David Hemmings [he appears in Barbarella with Jane Fonda and in the Ransohoff-produced occultthemed film Eye of the Devil [whose technical advisor, British witch Alex Sanders, had personally known Aleister Crowley] with OTO-witch Sharon Tate, British Intelligence agent/actor David Niven (whose friend/fellow British Intelligence agent Ian Fleming had been British spy Aleister Crowley’s case officer) and Deborah Kerr whose husband Peter Viertel was the son of Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood’s close friends Berthold and Salka Viertel] who’s associate Benjamin Britten was a friend of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood [Isherwood resided with the Viertels for a time]), and according to literature promoting the film, (real) members of the Hells Angels from Venice, California. Members of the Coffin Cheaters motorcycle club also appeared. In 1967 AIP followed this film with Devil’s Angels, The Glory Stompers with Dennis Hopper, and The Born Losers (the first of the Billy Jack movies starring Tom Laughlin, a friend of Marlon Brando. A real-life Native-American Shaman [with ties to Jerry Garcia, Bob Dylan and Buckminster Fuller] named Rolling Thunder appears in the 1971 A.D. film Billy Jack wherein he performs a ‘snake dance’ magic ritual live on film, quite the common practice amongst our magicpracticing film-making groups. One of the actors who appears in this film, Jack Starrett, would go on to direct a 1975 A.D. film starring Peter Fonda called Race with the Devil which also features a filmed Satanic ritual).” – Wikipedia: The Wild Angels. No doubt these movies were to the Satan-inspired biker gangs what Rosemary’s Baby was to the Church of Satan, serving to greatly increase their membership rolls, though it is most important to note the Hell’s Angels’ own collaboration with these Hollywood film makers and actors. At any rate: “Actors 919

who obtained their career breaks working for [Roger] Corman include Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, Michael McDonald (he appears in Revenge of the Nerds III [1992 A.D.] with John Carradines’s son Robert Carradine), Dennis Hopper (whose father Jay Hopper along with John Carradine were members of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge), Talia Shire (the sister of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, Talia Shire stars in The Godfather alongside Marlon Brando. Marlon Brando [alongside Dennis Hopper] also stars in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 A.D. film Apocalypse Now. Talia Shire appears with OTO-member Dean Stockwell in Roger Corman’s 1970 A.D. film The Dunwich Horror** based on a novel by H.P. Lovecraft), and Robert De Niro (De Niro was the son of Black Mountain College alumni Robert De Niro, Sr., an American abstract expressionist painter who counted Kenneth Anger’s friend Anais Nin and playwright Arthur Miller amongst his circle of Greenwich Village friends [Arthur Miller was married to Marilyn Monroe from 1956 – 1961 A.D.]). David Carradine (David Carradine [who appears with Timothy Leary in the 1992 A.D. biker film Roadside Prophets] would himself meet with a mysterious death), who received one of his first starring film roles in the Corman-produced Boxcar Bertha (1972) (his father John Carradine, a former member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge, also appears in this film) and went on to star in Death Race 2000, later noted: ‘It’s almost as though you can’t have a career in this business without having passed through Roger’s hands for at least a moment.’” – Wikipedia: Roger Corman. Roger Corman is best remembered for his contributions to the science-fiction and horror film genres as well as the occult-themed ‘Sword and Sorcery’ genre with which California governor/Conan the Barbarian (1982 A.D.) star Arnold Schwarzenegger was associated; Schwarzenegger himself ties into the Kennendy clan through his marriage to Maria Shriver, the niece of President John F. Kennedy. Roger Corman ties in with Jack Parson’s Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society and company through one of Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey’s closest friends, Forrest J Ackerman and through Twilight Zone Hollywood scriptwriter (whose credits include The Twilight Zone’s ‘The Howling Man’ episode starring John Carradine) Charles Beaumont (a friend of Ray Bradbury—Bradbury was along with Jack Parsons and Forrest J Ackerman a member of the Samson De Briers magic group) who wrote the screenplays for a number of Roger Corman films (as well as through actor John Carradine who was himself a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge along with Samson De Brier magic-grouper Dennis Hopper’s father, Jay Hopper. Another member of the Sampson De Brier magic-group, Curtis Harrington, would direct a number of Roger Corman films as well [including Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965 A.D.) starring British spy/actor Sir Basil Rathbone and Queen of Blood (1966 A.D.) starring Sir Basil Rathbone, Dennis Hopper and Forest J Ackerman. Sir Basil Rathbone was related by marriage to Aldous Huxley, an attendee of Berthold and Salka Viertel’s salon (whose attendees included Aleister Crowley’s friend/Hollywood screenwriter Christopher Isherwood) in Santa Monica, CA who was also admittedly connected to British spy Aleister Crowley (Aldous Huxley, Christopher Isherwood, Gerald Heard and Dennis Hopper’s friend Terry Melcher’s actress mom/Doris Day)]. Curtis Harrington had studied magick under Aleister Crowley’s magic initiate, actress Jane Wolfe; Jack Parson’s widow Marjorie Cameron appears in Curtis Harrington’s 1956 A.D. underground film, The Wormwood Star). As recent as the latter half of the 1990s Roger Corman and Forrest J Ackerman would collaborate on the film adaptation of a successful comic book adventure series involving a beautiful vampire from outer space entitled Vampirella (1996 A.D.). Roger Corman’s group as you can see had major OTO and Church of Satan connections (the Church of Satan membership rolls, as evidenced by OTO-member Kenneth Anger, a known member of the Church of Satan, being at least partly composed of OTO members). Roger Corman-mentored Hollywood directors include Joe Dante, Francis Ford Coppola and James Cameron, names quite familiar to moviegoers from the 1970s to today. (**This film was co-produced by film producer James H. Nicholson. As we learn from Wikipedia: “James Harvey Nicholson (September 14, 1916 – December 10, 1972) was an American film producer. He is best known as the co-founder, with Samuel Z. Arkoff, of American International Pictures [AIP for which company Roger Corman served as a producer]. As a child, Nicholson developed a love of movies, especially fantasy 920

and science fiction films. While in high school, he joined a science fiction fan club, where he met Forrest J Ackerman. The two produced a fantasy fanzine together. Years later, Ackerman’s magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland would heavily promote AIP’s movies.” – Wikipedia: James Harvey Nicholson) (Per Inside the LC: “Sharon Tate was the daughter of Lt. Col. Paul Tate, a career US Army intelligence officer, and Nancy Sinatra is, of course, the daughter of Francis Albert Sinatra [better known as Frank Sinatra], whose known associates included Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Sam Giancana, Carlo Gambino, Goetano Luchese and Joseph Fishetti [a cousin of Al Capone]. Many of these young and glamorous Hollywood stars forged very close bonds with the Laurel Canyon musicians. Some of them, including Peter Fonda (the son of Naval Intelligence officer turned actor Henry Fonda), found homes in the canyon so that they could live, work and party among the rock stars… Some of them never left; Jack Nicholson to this day lives in a spacious estate just off the portion of Mulholland Drive that lies between Laurel Canyon and Coldwater Canyon. Not far west of Nicholson’s property (which now includes the neighboring estate formerly owned by Marlon Brando) (Nicholson and Brando were in fact friends) sits the longtime home of Warren Beatty (a close associate of Sharon Tate’s friend, Navy vet Jay Sebring. Warren Beatty’s father was a CIA-associated psychologist named Ira Beatty who was likely, as McGowan conjectures, a psychologist of the MKULTRA variety). From the symbiotic relationship between Laurel Canyon actors and Laurel Canyon musicians arose a series of feature films that are now considered counter-cultural classics. One such film was 1967’s The Trip (directed and produced of course by Roger Corman), an unintentionally hilarious attempt (though complete with Satanic themes and Palladian Rite symbolism—one of the subliminally flashing symbols in this film is the Palladian, also known as the crucified serpent**) to create a cinematic facsimile of an LSD trip (whenever this bunch wanted to promote something they would make a movie about it and subliminal messaging, pioneered by occult filmmaker Kenneth Anger, had not as yet been outlawed). Written by, of all people, Jack Nicholson, the movie starred fellow (Young) Turks Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Bruce Dern. Seated in the director’s chair was Roger Corman, who, throughout his career, worked side-by-side with (musician) David Crosby’s dad (the Philadelphia-born Major Floyd Crosby, an Anapolis grad/WWII Army Intelligence officer, was an awardwinning film maker who during WWII served as cinematographer for the U.S. Army Air Corp film wing, also known as the 1352nd Motion Picture Squadron headquartered at Lookout Mountain Laboratory there in Laurel Canyon) on no less than twenty-three feature films… The house where most of the film was shot, at the top of Kirkwood Drive in Laurel Canyon, was the home of Love’s Arthur Lee (Kenneth Anger’s live-in-boyfriend/Manson Family murderer Bobby Beausoleil had been a guitarist in an early line-up of Arthur Lee’s band Love, the band being named in honor of Bobby Beausoleil whose own nickname was Cupid, the god of love. Love was in the beginning a Rolling Stones cover band which played regular gigs at: “The Brave New World…a homosexual private membership club” located in Los Angeles (See p.142 Anger by Bill Landis) named after homosexual author Aldous Huxley’s novel of the same name. When Bobby Beausoleil lost his spot in Love he relocated to the San Francisco Bay area there to hobnob with Kenneth Anger, a member of the Rolling Stones retinue. Arthur Lee himself lived in horror film star Bela Lugosi’s former home and was known to hold band-practice at Vito Paulekas’ residence. The Vito Paulekas dance troupe once accompanied The Byrds [which band included Floyd Crosby’s son David Crosby before his stint in Crosby, Stills, Nash and (sometimes Neil) Young (Neil Young knew many members of the Manson Family)] on a nationwide tour). Another ‘psychedelic’ cult film of the late 1960s with deep roots in Laurel Canyon was The Monkees’ 1968 big-screen offering, Head (Gerd Stern, an old friend of Dennis Hopper, served as a creative consultant for the marketing aspects of this film). Also scripted by (Jack) Nicholson (with assistance from Bob Rafelson, co-creator of The Monkees pop group and T.V. series brought to you by 921

Screen Gems©; One fun fact that many like to mention is that Charles Manson is known to have had at one time unsuccessfully auditioned for The Monkees television show), the movie included cameo appearances by (Laurel) Canyon dwellers Dennis Hopper (Dennis Hopper also stars in/and directs the 1971 A.D. Bob Rafelson-produced film The Last Movie with Peter Fonda, Mommas and the Papas band-member Michelle Phillips [whose own close encounter with a UFO in 1969 A.D. was reported in The Daily Mail (8/6/97)] and a number of Dennis Hopper’s fellow Actor Studios comrades. Occultist/‘underground film’ maker Alejandro Jodorowsky played an uncredited role in the making of this movie), Jack Nicholson and Frank Zappa (Frank Zappa was a close personal friend of Manson Family-member/Church of Satan-attendee Bobby Beausoleil the two even collaborating on a number of musical projects. Frank Zappa, along with Batman star Burgess Meredith [Burgess Meredith himself ties to Sharon Tate’s murdered friend Jay Sebring], appear in The Monkees Episode 57: The Monkees Blow Their Minds [1968 A.D.]. Also appearing in the The Monkees film Head is AIP actress/former Mickey Mouse Club child actress Annette Funicello and RKO actor Victor Mature who has appeared in Hal Roach, Sr.-directed films [including 1 Million B.C. (released 1940 A.D.; Hal Roach, Sr. was a member of the General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit. General Hap Arnold was an associate of Jack Parsons, funding Parsons’ early rocketry tests. Actor Victor Mature also appears in Walter Huston’s The Shanghai Gesture (a Howard Hughes production released in 1941 A.D.; Walter Huston was a WWII member of the First Motion Picture Unit as well. Hal Roach it is interesting to note, was co-owner of an automobile dealership with the father of the famous Cabalist witch/astrologer Jeane Dixon [See her obituary in The Washington Post], a psychic advisor to Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan who would successfully predict President JFK’s assassination [perhaps even thanks to inside information considering that her forecasting record is less than stellar]), in Footlight Serenade (1942 A.D.) with President Ronald Reagan’s first wife, Jane Wyman. Ronald Reagan was serving at this time with the First Motion Picture Unit as well. Victor Mature even appears with actress/OSS agent Marlene Dietrich in the 1943 A.D. film short Show Business at War highlighting the film industry’s contribution to the Allied WWII war effort [Victor Mature actively promoted the buying of War Bonds during WWII and participated in WWII USO shows as well]; Victor Mature also stars opposite Dennis Hopper’s friend Peter Fonda’s WWII Navy Intelligence officer father Henry Fonda in My Darling Clementine (1946 A.D.) directed by First Motion Picture Unit director John Ford] and also appears in films with Dennis Hopper’s fellow Samson De Brier magic group attendee Richard Burton and alongside Dennis Hopper’s mentor Vincent Price in the 1952 A.D. Howard Hughes-produced film The Las Vegas Story, with Vincent Price and Ethel Barrymore [her brother actor John Barrymore was a close friend of actor John Carradine, a former member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge who appears in various films produced by Roger Corman as well] in the film Moss Rose [1947 A.D.]; in Cry of the City [1948 A.D.] screenplay by Ben Hecht*** [Ben Hecht, John Barrymore and John Carradine were all co-members of the Hollywood Hellfire Club along with Ziegfield Follies star W.C. Fields]. Victor Mature also appears in Demetrius and the Gladiators [1954 A.D. with Anne Bancroft who like Dennis Hopper had also studied at Lee Strasberg’s Actors Studio. Jack Nicholson would star in the 1968 A.D. AIP release Psyche-Out alongside OTO-member Dean Stockwell [a former member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge], Bruce Dern and Susan Strasberg [Susan Strasberg is known for her infamous intimate relationship with Samson De Brier magic group attendee/actor Richard Burton, a friend to British spy Laurence Olivier—Laurence Olivier’s uncle was a member of the Fabian Society whose membership ranks were composed of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Stella Matutina members], Susan Strasberg being the daughter of drama coach Lee Strasberg [Lee Strasberg was Dennis Hopper’s drama coach] and Paula Strasberg [Paula Strasberg was Marilyn Monroe’s drama coach at the time of Marilyn Monroe’s death, Monroe being at the time of her death sexually intimate with both President John F.

Roman Polanski and of his actress wife Sharon Tate****** (it was with Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate that U.S. Senator/presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy would share his final meal before his subsequent assassination)]). The music – performed, of course, by The Monkees (The Monkees were formed in 1964 A.D.) – was a mix of songs written by the band and contributions from (Laurel) Canyon songwriters like Carol King (a long-time friend of musician David Crosby, Carol King wrote The Monkees’ song Pleasant Valley Sunday) and Harry Nilsson (a close friend of Monkees band-member Mickey Dolenz, Harry Nilsson wrote The Monkees’ song Cudley Toy)… The homes of both Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees bandmember whose father George Dolenz was an RKO contract actor who worked for Howard Hughes [Howard Hughes, a good friend of UFO contactee George Van Tassel, was the former employer of UFO contactee Jack Parsons who worked at Howard Hughes’ Hughes Aircraft Co. from whom Parsons stole plans for aircraft designs passing them on to the Israelis.

It was with Preston Sturges’ mother, OTOmember Mary D’Estѐ Sturges, that Crowley performed his famous Abuldiz Working magic ritual in 1911 A.D.****) and Peter Tork (Monkeys band-member Peter Tork was along with Crosby [David Crosby], Stills, Nash and [Charles Manson’s friend Neil] Young-band-member Steven Stills a part of the Greenwich Village folk music scene [which included OTO-member Harry Smith’s friend Bob Dylan] during the early 1960s) were popular (Laurel) canyon hangouts in the late ’60s for a number of ‘real’ musicians. Also regularly dropping by Dolenz’ party house were Dennis Hopper (whose father Jay Hopper was a member of Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodge led at the time by Jack Parsons. Dennis Hopper himself was a friend of OTO/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger, Jack Parson’s former neighbor) and Jack Nicholson.” (Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson and Kenneth Anger were all co-attendees of the same Sampson De Brier magic salon once attended by Jack Parsons and Jack Parson’s wife Marjorie Cameron and by Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey). – Inside the LC by Dave McGowan (** As noted by Craig Heimbichner in Blood on the Altar: The Secret History of the World’s Most Dangerous Secret Society [2005 A.D.] the Ordo Templi Orientis [the OTO] is the embodiment of the ‘Order of the Palladium’ [of which this group was part and parcel, a fact which explains the Palladian symbolism employed in the film The Trip]) (*** Even Hollywood actor Henry Fonda, father of actor Peter Fonda and actress Jane Fonda, had himself starred in the Preston Sturges-directed film, The Lady Eve in 1941 A.D. According to Samson De Brier’s obituary in the April 8, 1995 A.D. edition of the Los Angeles Times, Jane Fonda was known to have frequented Samson De Brier’s Hollywood magic salon as well) (**** Victor Mature also stars in Kiss of Death [1947 A.D.] screenplay by Hollywood Hell Fire Club-member Ben Hecht and Charles Lederer [Kiss of Death included the first film appearance by actress Susan Cabot who has an uncredited role in this film. Susan Cabot, an actress who studied witchcraft under the Israel Regardie-mentored modern-day witch Sara Cunningham [aka Lady Sara] appears in no less than six Roger Corman-produced films. Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Israel Regardie at one point in time had served as Aleister Crowley’s own personal secretary. Susan Cabot appears in The Enforcer [1951 A.D., also in an uncredited role] with Rat Pack-member Humphrey Bogart and in Bracken’s World with former Ben Casey starlet Bettye Ackerman.

As previously noted, the FiztGeralds and Villiers are descended from a long line of magic-practicing British nobles. Kennedy clan-member James Villiers appears in Hammer Films’ The Damned (1963 A.D.) directed by Samson De Brier magic group attendee Nicholas Ray’s friend Joseph Losey (a former RKO employee who worked for Howard Hughes), a blacklisted protégé of Bertolt Brecht (Bertolt Brecht was an associate of Samson De Brier magic group attendee Igor Stravinsky). Elizabeth Taylor (wife of Samson De Brier magic group attendee Richard Burton) and Frank Sinatra’s one-time wife Mia Farrow along with Laurence Olivier’s friend Peggy Ashcroft star in Losey’s 1968 A.D. film, Secret Ceremony. James Villiers significantly enough stars in Roman Polanski’s 1965 A.D. film, Repulsion]. Ben Hecht’s friend, fellow Hollywood screenwriter Charles Lederer, was a good friend of newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst who was also a friend of RKO owner Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. Joseph P.

The mother of Howard Hughes’ Chicago-born Hollywood director/friend Preston Sturges, namely Mary D’Este Sturges [Mary D’Este Sturges was a ‘great friend’ of Aleister Crowley’s friend Isadora Duncan] had been one of Aleister Crowley’s Scarlet Women with whom he had performed his sex-magic rituals. Victor Mature also stars in Red, Hot and Blue [1949 A.D.] with William Demerest [William Demerest appears in no less than ten Preston Sturges-directed films. William Demerest also appears with OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s magic disciple, actress Jane Wolfe, in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm*****]. Victor Mature also stars in Samson and Delilah [1949 A.D.] based on the novel written by Ze’ev Jabotinky with Angela Lansbury [Angela Lansbury’s daughter Didi Lansbury was a member of the Manson Family, various members of which were known Church of Satan attendees], Fritz Lieber, Sr. [whose son Fritz Lieber, Jr. attended a number of Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey’s Magic Circle/Church of Satan Satanic seminars]. George Sanders [Mr. Freeze from T.V.’s Batman. His brother, RKO contract actor Tom Conway (Tom Conway appears in a number of RKO/Russia-born film producer Val Lewton [Val Lewton’s aunt, Russian actress Alla Nazimova, was Nancy Reagan’s godmother] horror films from the ’40 and ’50s whose central premise is devil worship, Voodoo, witchcraft and murder including The Seventh Victim [1943 A.D.; directed by Mark Robson*******], a story about a Greenwich Village cult of Satanworshipping Palladists [a Palladist by definition is a member of the ‘Order of the Palladium’] and the 1946 A.D. film Bedlam [also directed by Mark Robson], the story of Hellfire Clubmember John Wilkes and his connection to the Bethlem Royal Hospital in London, Europe’s oldest extant psychiatric ward. A number of RKO/Warner Bros.© actors appearing in RKO produced/Warner Bros.© distributed sci-fi/horror films from the 1950s including actors George Sanders and Robert Clarke would go on to appear in Roger Corman Filmgroup/AIP films which filmed many of the sci-fi and horror films which appeared on film screens during the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s), would appear in a Roger Corman’s film production company AIP films The She Creature (1956 A.D.) and Voodoo Woman (1957 A.D.)] and Russ Tamblyn [a close friend of Dennis Hopper, OTO-member Dean Stockwell and Neil Young]. Angela Lansbury herself, whose family has major Theosophical Society connections [Angela Lansbury’s uncle, British Labour Party leader/Theosophical Society-member George Lansbury was a close associate of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order of which Aleister Crowley was a member being the magic-practing inner circle of the Theosophical Society itself] appears in The Picture of Dorian Gray [1945 A.D.] with President John F. Kennedy’s brother-in-law, Rat Packmember Peter Lawford [Peter Lawford appears in Val Lewton’s 1950 A.D. film, Please Believe Me with actress Deborah Kerr whose husband Peter Viertel was the son of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood’s close friends Berthold and Salka Viertel. Fellow Rat Pack member Sammy Davis, Jr. (a friend of Church of Satan-member Jay Sebring, hair stylist to T.V.’s Batman, Adam West) was a known member of Samson De Brier magic salon 924

attendee Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan] and in The Private Affairs of Bel Ami [1947 A.D.] with John Carradine, a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge. Victor Mature also appears in no less than three movies with J. Arthur Rank/Rank Organization actress Jean Simmons [Like the Hammer film production company, the Rank Organization was a British Intelligence front organization as well] and in Something for the Birds [1952 A.D.] with Patricia Neal [Patricia Neal appears in the 1954 A.D sci-fi film Strangers from Venus based on a story written by Desmond Leslie. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO/British Intelligenceassociated British Lord Desmond Leslie was the founder of Flying Saucer Review [FSR] magazine]. Patricia Neal was married from 1953 – 1983 A.D. to British Intelligence agent Roald Dahl, an RAF officer who had served alongside British spy/author Ian Fleming [Ian Fleming was British spy Aleister Crowley’s case officer during WWII (See Secret Agent 666)] in Winston Churchill’s SOE [which partnered with the OSS] during WWII. Victor Mature also significantly enough stars in the 1959 A.D. film Timbuktu alongside Monkees band-member Mickey Dolenz’s father George Dolenz, a fact which helps to account for his inclusion in The Monkey’s film, Head. Many of the aforementioned actors were Famous Players Lasky clients. Budd Schulberg, the son of film producer B.P. Schulberg of Famous Players Lasky had worked for the OSS with John Ford in the First Motion Picture Unit. Budd Schulberg [husband of Ziegfeld Follies girl/actress Geraldine Brooks] wrote and co-produced the 1958 A.D. Warner Bros.© distributed film Wind Across the Everglades, a film directed by Nicholas Ray, a member of the Samson De Brier magic goup. Nicholas Ray himself had Rat Pack associations, he directing Rat Pack-member Humphrey Bogart in In a Lonely Place [1950 A.D.]. Victor Mature, William Demerest, Peter Lawford, Bruce Dern, Dean Stockwell and John Carradine would all make appearances in the 1976 A.D. film, Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood. Also released in 1976 was a televised documentary entitled UFOS: It Has Begun filmed in conjunction with NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense. As noted therein [as revealed by former Project Bluebook head Robert Friend], the ONI [the Office of Naval Intelligence] and the CIA was involved in UFO channeling efforts through the mediation of psychic mediums as far back as 1959 A.D. Hosted by Twilight Zone show host Rod Serling, actors Burgess Meredith [an associate of Mason Family murder victim Jay Sebring] and José Ferrer [José Ferrer’s wife Rosemary Clooney was a good friend of Robert Kennedy, she being present at the scene of Robert Kennedy’s assassination. Like Manson Family murder victim Abigail Folger, Rosemary Clooney worked on Robert Kennedy’s presidential campaign as well] are narrators in this film. Also making an appearance in UFOS: It Has Begun is Project Bluebook ufologist J. Allen Hynek and his assistant, ufologist Jacques Vallee [an associate of both OTO-leader Jack Parsons and Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey]. It is important to note that Aleister Crowley was an early UFO channeler. No doubt this OTO group was at the heart of ongoing ONI/CIA UFO channeling efforts) (*****Actress Jane Wolfe was a member of Charles Stansfeld Jones’ OTO lodge located in California in whose OTO magic lodge Jack Parsons and Harry Smith, a later resident Shaman of New York City’s Chelsea Hotel frequented by Dennis Hopper’s friend Andy Warhol [Warhol filmed Chelsea Girls at the Chelsea Hotel], both received their initiations [ufologist/OTO-member Meade Layne, a former co-member along with Jack Parsons of Charles Stansfeld Jones’ OTO lodge, was a UFO channeler whose UFO channeling efforts are detailed in his book The Coming of the Guardians (1954 A.D.)]. Samson De Brier magic group member/director Renate Druks had studied magic under the Crowley-initiate Jane Wolfe, and horror film director Curtis Harrington, also a member of the Samson De Brier magic group, also studied magic under Jane Wolfe as well; Jack Parson’s widow Marjorie Cameron appears in Curtis Harrington’s 1956 A.D. underground film, The Wormwood Star. Marjorie Cameron and artist/actor Dennis Hopper, whose own father Jay Hopper had been a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge, would later co-star in Curtis Harrington’s horror film Night Tide in 1961 A.D. Night Tide was distributed by Roger Corman’s film distribution company, Filmgroup. Actress Luana Anders who appears in a number of Roger Corman’s AIP films including The Pit and the Pendulum (1961 A.D.) with Dennis Hopper’s mentor Vincent Price and quite notably 925

enough in Roger Corman’s film The Trip, also appears with Dennis Hopper and Marjorie Cameron in Curtis Harrington’s occult-themed film Night Tide as well [Jack Nicholson appears in Roger Corman/Filmgroup distributed films including The Wild Ride (1960 A.D.) and The Little Shop of Horrors released in 1960 A.D. (Jack Nicholson would go on to appear as ‘The Joker’ in the 1989 A.D. Warner Bros.© film release Batman alongside WWII Army Air Force member-turned-actor Jack Palance [Jack Palance appears in the 1967 A.D. British horror film Torture Garden with Batman t.v. star Burgess ‘the Penguin’ Meredith]. That this group was also associated with the Batman television series is also highlighted by the fact one of Yvonne ‘Batgirl’ Craig’s earliest film appearances was with Dennis Hopper and John Wayne’s son Patrick Wayne in the 1959 A.D. Western, The Young Land, she appearing in the Floyd Crosby-associated production Seven Women from Hell [1961 A.D.] and in the 1965 A.D. AIP film, Ski Party with another denizen of the AIP beach party film genre, Frankie Avalon. Yvonne Craig also appears in It Happened at the World's Fair [1963 A.D.] and in Kissin’ Cousins [1964 A.D.] with Dennis Hopper’s friend, Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley, a friend of Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis, Jr. whose own friend Jay Sebring [hairstylist for Batman’s Adam West (Adam West’s first credited film appearance was in the Warner Bros.© film The Young Philadelphians [1959 A.D.] with Paul Newman, a former student of Lee Strasberg’s Actors Studio)] would die at the hands of fellow Church of Satan attendees. Church of Satan attendee Jay Sebring was himself a former business partner of Elvis Presley’s friend Larry Geller, a member of Elvis Presley’s own Memphis Mafia. All of these individuals had regular Italian Mafia connections as well)]. Luana Anders would go on to appear in the Roger Corman-mentored Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola’s Dementia 13 [1963 A.D.; produced by Roger Corman, it was distributed by AIP] and in Dennis Hopper’s film Easy Rider in 1969 A.D. Luana Anders appears in numerous television shows including the Warner Bros.©-produced show Sugarfoot which aired from 1957 – 1961 A.D. [as does Batman’s Adam West]. Actress Marjorie Eaton [who appears in the 1950 A.D. film The Vicious Years with Dennis Hopper’s friend Russ Tamblyn], a former member of the Taos, New Mexico art colony where Dennis Hopper would pen the script for Easy Rider, appears in the film Night Tide as well. Charles Manson’s friend Dennis Hopper appears with Basil Rathbone in the Curtis Harrington directed/Roger Corman produced film Queen of Blood (1966 A.D.) along with Forrest J Ackerman, a close friend of Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey who would himself found the Church of Satan also in the year 1966 A.D.) (****** Sharon Tate appears in numerous films [including Eye of the Devil and the Roman Polanski-directed film The Fearless Vampire Killers] and television shows [including The Beverly Hillbillies] produced by Martin Ransohoff [Martin Ransohoff’s company, Filmways, would aquire Roger Corman’s AIP film production company in 1979 A.D.]. Martin Ransohoff’s cousin Joseph Ransohoff was a friend of U.S. Army General George S. Patton [George S. Patton had himself personally known OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s ‘right-hand man,’ British Major-General J.F.C. Fuller] upon whose own son’s staff as a captain at the U.S. Army’s Armor School at Fort Knox would serve Army Intelligence officer/Church of Satanmember Michael A. Aquino, with distinction [See p.207 The Church of Satan by Michael A. Aquino]. Amongst General George S. Patton’s close circle of associates during WWII was David Raksin [a one-time assistant of William Randolph Hearst’s pal Charlie Chaplin who has provided the scores for various movies including Fallen Angel, a 1945 A.D. film starring John Carradine, a one-time member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge, and The Patsy (1964 A.D. with John Carradine, Church of Satan-member/Walt Disney© voice actor Keenan Wynn [helping to highlight the historic Walt Disney© connection with Satanism is the fact that the stars of the 1975 A.D. Disney extraterrestrial/magic themed film Escape to Witch Mountain, namely, Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann, would go on to star in Curtis Harrington’s 1978 A.D. made-forT.V. movie, Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell], Peter Lorre and Dean Martin’s show business friend Jerry Lewis) who provided the musical score for the television show Ben Casey for whom Joseph Ransohoff worked as a technical advisor.

Charles Manson, Bobby Beausoleil [both of whom were known Church of Satan attendees and later convicted of murdering Roman Polanski’s wife, OTO witch Sharon Tate] and Kenneth Anger were all individuals associated with Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan, LaVey serving as technical advisor for Romam Polanski’s Satanic film, Rosemary’s Baby starring Frank Sinatra’s wife Mia Farrow. Another actor who appears in Rosemary’s Baby is Warner Bros.© actor Sidney Blackmer. Besides starring in the appropriately entitled film, How to Murder Your Wife, Sidney Blackmer appears in In Old Chicago with Tyrone Power [Power appears in Blood and Sand alongside OTO-member John Carradine, a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge], with Lionel Barrymore [whose younger brother, Hollywood Hellfire Club-member John Barrymore’s own close friend was OTO-member John Carradine] and Lillian Gish [both of whom are connected to various Hollywood Hellfire Club-members] in Duel in the Sun, with OTO-member John Carradine in The Last Gangster and Thank You, Mr. Moto and with the Anton LaVey-associated actor Frank Sinatra in High Society. Frank Sinatra himself would star alongside OTO-member John Carradine in Around the World in 80 Days. As must be noted, everyone of these individuals are connected in some way to Jack Parsons, the head of Aleister Crowley’s OTO magic lodge) (**Frank Sinatra appears in former First Motion Picture Unit director Frank Capra’s 1959 A.D. film A Hole in the Head with Church of Satan-member Keenan Wynn.

John Farrow is known to have been romantically involved with Diana SpencerChurchill [she would die of a drug overdose in 1963 A.D.], eldest daughter of British P.M. Winston Churchill. Note this tie to Winston Churchill as a number of British spies-turnedactors including David Niven served in Churchill’s SOE during WWII. Another British actor who makes a cameo appearance in this film is Reginald Denny, owner of the Radioplane radio-controlled plane company [later bought out by the Northrup Corporation in 1952 A.D., 927

these being the forerunners of the Northrup Grumman unmanned drone planes of today] which during WWII produced the radio controlled OQ-2 Radioplane [aka the ‘Dennyplane’]. As we learn from Wikipedia: “Marilyn Monroe was discovered working as an assembler at Radioplane. A photographer assigned by Denny’s friend, Army publicist (and future US President) Capt. Ronald Reagan (an Andy Warhol associate), took several shots and persuaded her to work as a model, which was the beginning of her career.” [For more information, see Smart Weapons: Top Secret History of Remote-controlled Airborne Weapons, 1997 A.D.]. Reginald Denny would go on to appear in the 1966 A.D. film Batman [directed by former Sugarfoot t.v. show director Leslie H. Martinson], also making appearances on the Batman television program. Marilyn Monroe [she would likewise die of a drug overdose in 1962 A.D.] appears with the Marx Brothers in the 1949 A.D. Mary Pickfordproduced film Love Happy [Mary Pickford appears with OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s disciple, actress Jane Wolfe in the 1917 A.D. film Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

Mark Robson also directed a number of films in which appear former members of General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit including actor William Holden (who would serve as best man at the wedding of Ronald and Nancy Reagan in 1952 A.D.) in The Bridges of Toko-Ri (1955 A.D.). He also directed a few films starring Group Theater-member Arthur Kennedy who appears in various John Huston and Hal B. Wallis films as well as in the 1958 A.D. film Some Came Running (directed by Vincente Minelli) with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine]) (Another common denominator between the people in our story is that they appear on the Hollywood Blacklist and/or served on/or were called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Also note the fact this group represents a gathering of descendents of Benjamin Franklin/Hellfire Club descendents who were forming modern incarnations of the earlier Hellfire Club in England and making movies about the Hellfire Club itself. The deaths of descendents of Hellfire Club-attendees, namely, John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy as well as that of the Franklin descendent/Folgers coffee heiress Abigail Folger should be viewed in light of the historic battle between the Illuminati/Carbonari Young Germany group [represented by the Bush family-associated Young Germany/Republican (Nixon-Ford-Reagan-Bush I and Bush II) political faction] and the Anglophilic Boston Brahmin-led Young England (represented by the Fabian Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO-associated British Intelligence agents-turned-actors in our story)/Young America group [the Kennedy associated political/Intelligence faction in alliance with the Young Italy faction represented by the Mazzini/Carbonari-created Italian Mafia] vieing for control of the New World Order. This battle has been waging ever since the onset of the American Revolution [Franklin’s group pitted against England’s Germanic Hanoverian monarchy] and the American Civil War [Lincoln’s Young Germany/Republican party faction warring against the Mazzini/Pike-centric Young England/Young America/Young Italy Carbonari alliance]. The Manson Family group led by Solar Lodge OTO-member Charles Manson was an associated part of the Fabian Society group, and this helps to explain Manson Family member Squeaky Fromme’s assassination attempt on the life of Republican U.S. President Gerald Ford) (At the height of the Batman shows success, in 1966 A.D., actor Burt Ward who plays Robin [aka ‘Boy Wonder’] in t.v.’s Batman would work alongside recording artist Frank Zappa to record a series of songs known as ‘The Boy Wonder Sessions’ including 928

the laughably horrible non-hit song Boy Wonder I Love You. ‘The Boy Wonder Sessions’ were recorded in 1966 A.D. and backed by Frank Zappa’s band the Mothers of Invention in coordination with Velvet Underground-producer Tom Wilson [Tom Wilson was a record producer who also worked with Bob Dylan whose own bevy of friends included OTO-member Harry Smith who at one time had attended the same OTO magic lodge attended by Jack Parsons]. For more information on this Zappa/Ward collaboration see Burt Ward’s autobiography, Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights. Frank Zappa was a friend of Manson Familymember/Church of Satan-attendee Bobby Beausoleil) (Batman star Frank Gorshin, better known as Batman’s arch-enemy the Riddler had previously starred alongside William Demerest [William Demerest himself appears with OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s disciple, actress Jane Wolfe in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm] and Church of Satan-member Keenan Wynn’s Philadelphia-born father Ed Wynn [the son of Bohemian immigrants] in the 1965 A.D. Walt Disney© production, That Darn Cat!. A number of Batman actors [as was also true of many AIP productions] had Walt Disney© associations) (Frank Sinatra [along with Bing Crosby] was one of the principal backers behind the famous United Western Recorders recording studio complex [which employed state of the art Ampex 8 recording devices] located at 6000-6050 Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA [See Temples of Sound: Inside the Great Recording Studios]. United Western Recorders, a recording venue for musicians and producers including Sam Cooke (killed under questionable circumstances in what was to be ruled a justifiable homicide), The Beach Boys, Phil Spector [and The Wrecking Crew (this band, which anonymously backed many of the bands highlighted within our story during various in-studio recording sessions [including The Beach Boys, The Monkeys, The Mommas and the Papas, The Byrds, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Nany Sinatra and Elvis Presley, in other words, everyone with whom Charles Manson was also associated], also served as the house band on The T.A.M.I.

Wrecking Crew drummer Jim Gordon would tour with Frank Zappa and Eric Clapton, play on various Beach Boys,’ Monkeys’ and Byrd Brothers’ albums during the ’60s (The Byrds included bandmember David Crosby; he also played on John Lennon’s Imagine album. Lennon would be gunned down in 1980 A.D.) and in 1984 A.D. would be imprisoned for the 1983 A.D. fatal stabbing murder of his mother spurned on by the voices which he had heard inside his head. Phil Specter himself is currently serving life imprisonment for the 2003 A.D. shooting death of Lana Clarkson, an actress appearing in the Roger Corman films Deathstalker (1983 A.D.), Barbarian Queen (1985 A.D.) and Barbarian Queen II: The Empress Strikes Back (1989 A.D.).

The theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies on which show Sharon Tate appears was recorded there as well. United Western Recorders recording studio complex is a common denominator linking together the primary individuals who appear within our story) (The Beverly Hillbillies television program on which appeared Manson Family murder victim Sharon Tate was filmed at Hollywood Center Studios (founded by John Jaspers, an associate of Charlie Chaplin. Howard Hughes’ Hell’s Angels film starring Jean Harlow was also filmed here. It is also the former home [1951 – 1953 A.D.] of Desilu Studios). Working here on the set of The Beverly Hillbillies** (a television sit-com running from 1962 – 1971 A.D.) was Louie Lawless (working under the pseudonym of Leo Rivers) who in 1973 A.D. would be part of the team nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for his work on the documentary, Manson, a documentary based on the the Manson Family (** Starring Buddy Epsen, a co-member along with Hollywood psychologist Israel Regardie [OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s former personal secretary] of the Order of Demolay Freemasonic order.

Appearing on this program in recurring roles was WWII U.S. Army Air Corp vet/actor Frank Cady, Joi Lansing [she appears in various films starring members of the Rat Pack including Frank Sinatra and Dean martin including A Hole in the Head (also starring Church of Satan-member Keenan Wynn), in Ben Hecht’s sci-fi film Queen of Outer Space and in Hillbillys in a Haunted House with John Carradine, a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge], and murdered OTO witch/actress Sharon Tate [whose murderers included no less than three known Church of Satan-attendees]. Beverly Hillbillies star Irene Ryan was the wife of actor Tim Ryan (amongst his notable movie appearances was an uncredited role in John Huston’s The Asphalt Jungle in which appears Marilyn Monroe and actor Sterling Hayden, an OSS officer who served in William J. ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan’s COI during WWII). Linda Kaye Henning, who appears with Samson De Brier magic group attendees Dennis Hopper and James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, daughter of Beverly Hillbillies producer Paul Henning, also plays a recurring role on this show. Another star on the show, Max Baer, Jr. was the son of actor Max Baer who appears in the film Africa Screams [1949 A.D.] with actor/circus owner Clyde Beatty with whose circus Samson De Brier magic group attendee/Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey had been employed. Donna Douglas, another major star on the show, received her start in Hollwyood in Hal B. Wallis’ film Career [1959 A.D.] alongside Rat Pack-member Dean Martin and witch/actress Shirley MacLaine, in Lover Come Back [a 1961 A.D. film written by Beverly Hillbillies producer Paul Henning] alongside Charles Manson’s friend Terry Southern’s mom Doris Day, herself an associate of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood. A number of Beverly Hillbillies stars got their start in television on The Bob Cummings Show [for which television program Beverly Hillbillies producer Paul Henning served as a writer] starring WWII U.S. Army Air Corp* officer Robert Cummings [*which was then under the command of General Hap Arnold], a former Ziegfeld Follies star who starred opposite Ziegfeld Follies star Fanny Brice. Fellow Ziegfeld Follies star W.C. Fields along with Ben Hecht, John Barrymore and John Carradine [Carradine being a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge] were all co-members of the infamous Hollywood Hellfire Club. One of Robert Cummings earliest film appearances includes The Devil and Mrs. Jones [1941 A.D.] where he appears with William Demerest [William Demarest would star in no less than ten Preston Sturges-directed films, Preston Sturges being the son of one of Aleister Crowley’s Scarlet Women. William Demerest himself appears with OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s disciple, actress Jane Wolfe in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm]. An interesting cast of OTO characters indeed). It is also interesting to note that television talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! which broadcasts out of the Walt Disney-owned El Capitan Theater located at 6838 Hollywood Boulevard is the nephew of Frank Sinatra’s Las Vegas/Caesars Palace security/body guard Frank ‘Uncle Frank’ Potenza, a former New York City police officer/Korean War army vet. Jimmy Kimmel is likely related to Manny Kimmel, co-owner of of the Kinney National Company which later acquired Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. Jimmy Kimmel himself has extensive Warner Bros.© connections through his Jackhole Productions© production company which produced cable T.V. shows for Comedy Central and MTV,** both originally Warner Bros.© creations (** The genesis of the music video itself may be traced back to the Vitaphone musical short films featuring many of the stars from the 1920s [RKO] vaudeville, radio and concert stages [icluding many jazz singers] as produced by Warner Bros.© beginning in the mid 1920s). The OTO show must go on! (Pertinent Quote: “What was the first feature-length film to have synchronized sound? If you ask most people they’ll say The Jazz Singer [“Directed by Alan Crosland and produced by Warner Bros. with its Vitaphone sound-on-disc system, the movie (released in 1927) stars (vaudeville singer) Al Jolson (a former employee of the William Morris Agency talent agency [See pp.50–60 Al Jolson: You Ain't Heard Nothin’ Yet, 1980 A.D.]), who performs six songs” – Wikepedia: The Jazz Singer]…but that wouldn’t be quite correct. The famous Al Jolson movie was the first feature with synchronized speech. The first one with pre-recorded synchronized soundtrack 930

was actually 1926’s Don Juan [a film based on Carbonari-member Lord Byron’s poem Don Juan] starring John Barrymore [and Barrymore’s fiancé Mary Astor. Don Juan was directed by former Famous-Players-Laskey director Alan Crosland, a one-time employee of Theosophical Society-member Thomas Edison’s Edison Studios in New York City]. Made just a year after Warners purchased Vitaphone [from Bell Telephone Company/AT&T’s subsiderary Western Electric Company], this release was an important step along the road to talking pictures. In addition to the great feature itself, the disc includes six Vitaphone shorts [these including a performance by Roy Smeck, the so-billed "Wizard of the Strings" who would play at Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidential inaugural ball in 1933 A.D.] that were created just for the film’s release… For their first Vitaphone feature, the brothers Warner wanted a top-notch film to draw in the crowds. For the leading man they selected [Hollywood Hellfire Club-member] John Barrymore [John Barrymore’s friend John Carradine as you’ll recall was a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge] who gained fame for his portrayals of Richard III and Hamlet on Broadway. They had recently signed the actor and paid a premium to have him in their stable… For the music accompaniment they hired the 107-piece New York Philharmonic Orchestra to record the score.” – Vitaphone: A look at Vitaphone shorts and features available on DVD by John Sinnott. Mary Astor’s friend Marie Russak was a close associate of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant. Note well these associations) It would ‘appear’ that L. Ron Hubbard, a member of Navy Intelligence acting in an official capacity, [likely along with Marjorie Cameron] was sent in to find out what the heck exactly was happening inside Jack Parson’s OTO Parsonage. Or at least that’s what he would like to have you believe. According to a 1969 A.D. London Sunday Times article: “Dr. (Jack) Parsons was head of the American branch (of British Intelligence agent Aleister Crowley’s OTO) located at 100 Orange Grove Avenue, Pasadena, California. This was a huge old house which had paying guests who were the U.S. nuclear physicists working at Cal Tech. Certain agencies (which would seem to suggest U.S. government authorities were well aware of these accommodations) objected to nuclear physicists being housed under the same roof (physics in fact falls into the ‘natural magic’ category so it is no surprise this group resided at the site of an official OTO magic lodge). L. Ron Hubbard was still an (Intelligence) officer of the U.S. Navy [and] because he was well known as a (sci-fi) writer and philosopher and had friends among the physicists, he was sent in to handle the situation. He went to live at the house (in an official capacity mind you, having been as noted officially “sent in”) and investigated (during an official U.S. Navy investigation) the black magic rites (not only did he officially investigate them, it is generally well known that he officially took part in them as well) and the general situation and found them very bad. Parsons (who was spying for the Jews who were working towards the creation of modern day Israel) wrote to (British spy Aleister) Crowley in England about Hubbard. Crowley ‘the beast 666’ evidently detected an enemy and warned Parsons. This was all well proven by the correspondence uncovered by the [London] Sunday Times. Hubbard’s mission (and again, this was admittedly an official undercover investigation) was successful far beyond anyone’s expectations. The house was torn down. Hubbard rescued a girl they were using. The black magic group was dispersed and never recovered. The (nuclear) physicists included many of the sixty-four top U.S. scientists who were later declared insecure (including Los Alamos nuclear physicist Klaus Fuchs, a member of the Communist Party who worked on America’s Manhattan Project/atomic bomb development project who was later convicted of being a Soviet spy, Fuch’s arrest leading to the arrest [in 1950 A.D.], conviction and execution [in 1953 A.D.] of the Jewish Soviet spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg) and dismissed from government service with so much publicity…” (See pp.191-192 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D. The London Sunday Times which published this article was one of Ministry of Information-head Lord Beaverbrook’s newspapers and here again the British Ministry of Information is attempting damage control over a potentially harmful and embarrassing Intelligence revelation. Aleister Crowley was a British spy himself). This 931

account represents the ‘official’ Church of Scientology version of the events which had transpired, the London Sunday Times printing it in its entirety. But the fact is as it would seem L. Ron Hubbard was in the same line of Intelligence-based entheogenic experimentation as British Intelligence agent Aleister Crowley had been before him as were the CIA’s MKULTRA-associated psychiatrists after him and he was even working within Aleister Crowley’s American inner-circle (amongst a group involved in U.S. government sponsored top-secret classified governmental research)—in fact, the OTO black magic group with which he was associated had in fact recovered, and even, reconstituted at the residence of Samson De Brier in Hollywood, thrived. And it would soon re-rear its ugly head in the guise of MKULTRA in a top secret combined British/American Intelligence operation headed by a CalTech black magick ceremonial magician employed by the CIA. (One significant link between the British Ministry of Information, British spy Aleister Crowley and the CIA is British spy/author/journalist Arthur Koestler [Koestler was a former psychology student from the University of Vienna whose own mother was a patient of psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, mentor of Theosophical Society-member/OSS spy/psychologist Carl Jung], a former secretary to Israeli Youth Movement-leader Ze’ev Jabotinski. Amongst British spy Arthur Koestler’s intimates was Ministry of Information agent/British sculptress Daphne Hardy. Arthur Koestler at various times would find himself delivering a speech at the CIA/Ford Foundation-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom, having ‘lunch’ with the OSS-associated humanist Thomas Mann [both Koestler and Mann had been members of the Sanary-Sur-Mer group in Paris and Mann’s son Golo was an OSS spy himself], getting drunk with Dylan Thomas [Dylan Thomas was a good friend of British spy/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member/OTO-member Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner Victor Neuburg], ‘partying’ with fellow British spy/author W.H. Auden in Valencia while ‘covering’ the Spanish Civil War [where he was arrested as a spy though later released through the efforts of the British Foreign Office], was a friend of Fabian Society-member George Orwell, lectured at the Society for Psychical Research and in the early 1960s would find himself at the forefront of psilocybin experimentation as well as ‘tripping’ on LSD with CIA/MKULTRA psychiatrist Timothy Leary. Arthur Koestler would also be the recipient of a Royal Society in Literature* fellowship grant [*whose past fellows include Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn grand master W.B. Yeats]. At one point in time Arthur Koestler even lived with Cyril Connelly in London [Cyril Connelly, whose friends and associates included novelist Henry Miller (Henry Miller is known to have met Aleister Crowley in Paris during the ’30s), Lord Boothby (Lord Boothby was a close personal friend of P.M. Winston Churchill. Lord Boothby’s ‘close’ friend Tom Driberg was an associate of U.S. counterintelligence czar James Angleton’s friend W.H. Auden—W.H. Auden had served as a ‘mentor’ [perhaps ‘handler’ or ‘case officer’ would be a better term] to Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood) and members of the Balfour/Spencer/Churchill families], had been a member of the 1920s-30s Montparnasse group in Paris centering upon Alfred Perles [Perles was a later psychiatrist-in-residence at the CIA-associated Esalen Institute who was famous for his associations with Theosophical Society-member Henry Miller, Anais Nin and Lawrence Durrell, Durrell being a one-time employee of the British Foreign Office (which British Intelligence organization often collaborated with The Times, sister newspaper of Lord Beaverbrook’s London Sunday Times. Arthur Koestler is known to have once travelled to Israel in his capacity as a British agent for a clandestine meeting with Irgun-leader Menacham Began using the guise of a London Sunday Times reporter as cover) where during WWII was ensconced so many of the British Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO-associated Intelligence agents mentioned within our story and all under the command of the Druidic British P.M. Winston Churchill]. In later years, Arthur Koestler, whose interests included Spiritualism [Koestler had joined the SPR in 1952 A.D.], magic and mysticism [Arthur Koestler’s 1960 A.D. book The Lotus and the Robot was penned on the subject of Eastern mystic practices including Yoga following a trip he took to the East during the late 1950s], would co-found with former WWII RAF airman Brian Inglis a paranormal research organization at the 932

University of Edinburg in Scotland [the KIB Society, now known as the Koestler Parapsychology Unit]. Arthur Koestler and Lawrence Durrell are typical examples of British spies operating under the cover of journalism/literary pursuits. Arthur Koestler additionally ties to Steve Abrams (head of the Parapsychology Department at the University of Chicago during which time he was known to have been in communication with OSS agent/psychologist Carl Jung), whose SOMA Research Association’s entheogenic research studies are now known to have been CIA-funded under MKULTRA auspices through its Human Ecology Foundation (See p.36 Paranthropology Vol 4 No 1) headed by one Colonel James Monroe, one-time head of the Psychological Warfare Research Division of the United States Air Force.

The CIA tested the hallucinogenic drug LSD under MKULTRA primarily for use as an instrument in clandestine warfare. One of the CIA’s schemes suggested under ‘Operation Executive Action’ was to slip Cuban communist leader Fidel Castro an LSD ‘mickey’ thus instantaneously gaining him babbling idiot status: “…the CIA had developed a "stable of drugs," including LSD, that were used in covert operations… A favorite plan involved slipping "P-1" (the code name for LSD when used operationally) to socialist or left-leaning politicians in foreign countries so that they would babble incoherently and discredit themselves in public.” – Acid Dreams. Perhaps they had also hoped to “French fry” his brain through a druginduced chemical lobotomy of sorts. Instrumental to this endeavor was MKULTRAhead Sidney Gottlieb of the CIA Technical Services Division acting under orders of the Ford Foundation consultant turned CIA officer/London School of Economicsgrad Richard M. Bissell, Jr., architect of the strategy to overthrow Cuban president Fidel Castro (again, as is pertinent to our story, the London School of Economics was founded by the Fabian Society itself composed of members of the Theosophical Society and its magic practicing inner-circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn many of whose members were also members of the SPR). Richard M. Bissell, Jr. had been recruited into American Intelligence circles by W. Averill Harriman during WWII. During the 1960s, the CIA and the FBI had formed an alliance with the Mafia (again, this relationship dated back to World War II if not in fact prior; the Mafia was well ensconced in Florida [which itself at the time had a sizable dissident Cuban population] and in Havana, Cuba as well; previously, Fidel Castro had closed down Mafia-run casinos in Cuba following the Communist takeover of the island) with the expressed intent to assassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro under ‘Operation Mongoose’ (during which CIA officer Robert Maheu acted as the go-between between the Mafioso and the CIA). After many bungled assassination attempts President Kennedy at last had opted for the failed Bay of Pigs CIA amateur-hour: “According to FBI files, the autobiography of Antoinette Giancana and the testimony of Johnny Roselli to the U.S. Senate Church Commission in 1975, it was Giancana, along with a few other mobsters, who conspired with the CIA to assassinate Fidel Castro in the early 1960s. Giancana also had the distinction of sharing a mistress, Judith Campbell (aka Judith Campbell Exner), with President John F. Kennedy. (Frank) Sinatra introduced her to both men. Giancana is often named as a suspect by people who believe the Mafia assassinated President Kennedy. Giancana was murdered in 1975 after his role in the Castro plot came to light, but before he could testify at congressional hearings investigating the CIA.” – Frank Sinatra and the Mob by J.D. Chandler. Another Kennedy mistress, Anton Lavey’s-ex squeeze Marilyn Monroe [with whom Kennedy also had the unheralded distinction of sharing sloppy-seconds with the 933

mobster Bugsy Siegel] also ended up mysteriously incapacitated and unable to testify, the victim of what was ruled of course a tragic apparent ‘suicide’ (in CIA parlance, she was ‘suicided’). It is also said Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan high-priestess Jayne Mansfield (who would herself die an untimely death in a car crash in 1967 A.D.) also had sexual affairs with both John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy before she had attained her ‘prestigious’ Church of Satan high-priestess position. Indeed: “John F. Kennedy had many ‘one-night-stands’ as the world calls them. These were merely women hustled up by his aides or the secret service or his friends like Frank Sinatra. But Kennedy also had long term relationships with some of the women he was sexually active with. It is those relationships which reveal so much about the hidden Satanic side of the Kennedys. John F. Kennedy had three long term girlfriends, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Mansfield, and Zsa Zsa Gabor which were also girlfriends of Anton LaVey [Frank Sinatra’s fellow Rat Pack-er Sammy Davis, Jr. was a Church of Satan-member. It was John F. Kennedy’s friend Frank Sinatra who first introduced Sammy Davis, Jr. to Anton Lavey], who has headed the Church of Satan. Jayne Mansfield was a high priestess of the Church of Satan. Marilyn Monroe was a participant in LaVey’s satanic rituals before LaVey founded his Church of Satan. Both JFK and his brother Robert Kennedy had affairs going with Marilyn Monroe, and both visited her just prior to her mysterious death. Zsa Zsa has been interested for years in the occult.” – The Kennedy Bloodline. What with so many Kennedy men carrying on long-term affairs with well known female Satanists one would not be remiss if one’s mind began to wonder…

Enter Judith Campbell Exner: “Judith Campbell Exner…was (Frank) Sinatra’s girlfriend who he passed on (to JFK) as a favor. Judith worked for the Mafia, in particular she worked for Sam Giancana and John Roselli (Roselli was an associate of the former World War II counter-intelligence officer turned lawyer Robert Maheu who worked at various times for the FBI, the CIA and as top aide to billionaire Howard Hughes [the Howard Hughes who owned Hughes Aircraft whose trade secrets the Aleister Crowley-associated Jack Parsons, a Hughes’ Aircraft employee, was caught passing on to the Israelis. JFK’s father Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. was a friend of Howard Hughes.** The mother of Howard Hughes’ Chicago-born Hollywood director/friend Preston Sturges, namely Mary D’Este Sturges [Mary D’Este Sturges was a ‘great friend’ of Aleister Crowley’s friend Isadora Duncan. Isadora Duncan’s publicist was Hollywood screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (brother of Hollywood film director/producer Joseph L. Mankiewicz) who would eventually be put in charge of writer recruitment for the Paramount film studio, and under whose hire was journalist turned Hollywood screenwriter Ben Hecht (note this connection between Aleister Crowley and Ben Hecht—Ben Hecht’s friend, fellow Hollywood screenwriter Charles Lederer was a good friend of newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst who was also a friend of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.). Mankiewicz was well known for 934

his big screen collaborations with film maker Orson Welles—the two won Academy Awards for their film Citizen Kane], had been one of Aleister Crowley’s Scarlet Women with whom he had performed sexmagic rituals. Maheu was a close friend of both John F. Kennedy and of his brother Robert Kennedy)… It is also known that JFK was in direct contact with Meyer Lansky and Joe Fishetti, two other Mafia chiefs... This is no surprise because Jack’s (JFKs) father (Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.) had worked with the Mafia Jack’s entire life (in fact, Joe Kennedy’s golf partners included Sam Giancana, the head of the Chicago Mafia, and his Los Angeles lieutenant Johnny Rosselli).” – The Kennedy Bloodline (Judith Campbell Exner was the ex-wife [married 1952-1958 A.D.] of Hollywood actor William Campbell who notably enough appeared in Elvis Presley’s film Love Me Tender [1956 A.D.] and in the film version of Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead [1958 A.D.]. In 1963 A.D., the year of JFK’s assassination, William Campbell would appear in Roger Corman’s The Young Racers and Dementia 13 [along with the Hammer Film’s associated Northern Irish actor Patrick Magee]. William Campbell achieved cult-status stardom through guest starring roles on Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek television program beginning in 1967 A.D. [as Star Trek star William Shatner had previously appeared in Roger Corman’s 1962 A.D. film The Intruder]. Add William Campbell [along with Roger Corman] to the list of ‘usual suspects’) (** John F. Kennedy was at one time an employee of William Randolph Hearst—he worked for the Hearst newspaper called the: “Chicago American, an afternoon newspaper in Chicago, Illinois… Its first edition came out on the July 4, 1900 as Hearst’s Chicago American. Its companion Morning American came out in 1902 (Examiner as the Sunday Edition) and was replaced by the Examiner in 1907. Distribution of the Herald Examiner after 1918 was controlled by gangsters. Dion O’Banion, Vincent Drucci, Hymie Weiss and Bugs Moran (Michael Bowen’s father Dr. Sterling Bowen, working his way through college, worked for Chicago mobster Bugs Moran) first sold the Tribune. They were then recruited by Moses Annenberg who offered more money to sell the Examiner, later Herald-Examiner. This ‘selling’ consisted of pressuring stores and news dealers. Under pressure from his lenders, Hearst consolidated the American and the Herald-Examiner in 1939. It continued as the Chicago Herald-American until 1953 (“John F. Kennedy, the future U.S. president worked as a reporter at the Chicago Herald-American after serving in the Navy during World War II in 1945, where he covered the United Nations Conference held in San Francisco and the elections that ousted Winston Churchill in 1946 from London. The job was lined up by JFK’s influential father, Joseph P. Kennedy”) when it became Chicago American. The American was bought by the Chicago Tribune in 1956, and was renamed as Chicago's American… …” – Wikipedia: Chicago’s American

“According to (Judith Campbell) Exner, for 18 months in 1960 and 1961, she served as the President’s link with the Mob. At Kennedy’s request, says Exner, she regularly carried envelopes back and forth between the President and Sam Giancana, the head of the Chicago Mafia, as well as Johnny Roselli, Giancana’s Los Angeles lieutenant. Furthermore, Exner says she arranged about 10 meetings between Kennedy and Giancana, one of which, she believes, took place inside the White House. Exner says she was never told what transpired 935

between the President and the Chicago Godfather. But she has good cause to speculate that one of the meetings involved attempts to influence the crucial West Virginia Democratic primary before the 1960 election—and that others involved a more sinister subject: the CIA’s collaboration with the Mafia to assassinate Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. These assassination plots ("Operation Mongoose") were investigated by the Senate in 1975 and were documented in a 347-page Senate Select Intelligence Committee report… The name Judith Campbell Exner first made headlines on Dec. 17, 1975. She had been mentioned in the Senate report as a "close friend" of JFK, Giancana and Roselli… Exner was born Judith Eileen Katherine Immoor and grew up in Pacific Palisades, Calif (bordered by Malibu, Topanga Canyon and Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades was home to a sizeable population of German-Jewish writers in exile including Thomas Mann [a former resident of Sanary-sur-Mer], Lion Feuchtwanger [a former 1930s resident of Sanary-sur-Mer who relocated to the United States with the help of Varian Fry] and Berthold Brecht [Berthold Brecht was a resident of Sanary-sur-Mer as well] and was home to the SelfRealization Fellowship Lake Shrine [located on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades] founded by Paramahansa Yogananda in 1950 A.D.)… At 16, attending a Hollywood party with Robert Wagner (an associate of British MI5 agent/actor Laurence Olivier), Judith met actor William Campbell (at which time William Campbell was working as a Warner Bros.© actor). They wed two years later (in 1952 A.D.), and after an unhappy marriage, were divorced in 1958. During this period she was friendly with a Hollywood set that included Charlton Heston (notably enough, as a member of the Army Air Force during WWII: “[Charlton] Heston was chosen as a narrator for highly classified Military and Department of Energy instructional films, particularly relating to nuclear weapons, and ‘for six years Heston [held] the nation’s highest security clearance’…” – Wikipedia. Charlton Heston likely worked in this capacity with Hal B. Wallis as Charlton Heston would make his Hollywood debut in the Hal B. Wallis produced film, Dark City in 1950 A.D.), Lloyd Bridges (Lloyd Bridges starred in Gene Roddenberry-produced episodes of the T.V. series Sea Hunt [as did Leonard Nimoy who would play Spock in Roddenberry’s Star Trek series, Bruce Dern and for one episode, Jack Nicholson]. Judith’s ex-husband William Campbell would appear in a Star Trek episode as well), Debbie Reynolds (another Hollywood musical/Las Vegas headline performer) and Eddie Fisher (Debbie Reynold’s 936

husband from 1955–1959 A.D., the Philadelphia-born Eddie Fisher was likewise a Las Vegas headliner working for Mafia-run casinos). Supported by funds from her parents and from an inheritance, Exner lived in Beverly Hills, where she did some painting. She also dined out often at glitzy restaurants… One night in 1959 Exner ran into Frank Sinatra (whom she had met before in Hollywood) at Puccini’s, a restaurant in Beverly Hills. Several days later Sinatra invited Exner to join him in Hawaii with his friend Peter Lawford (Frank Sinatra and Peter Lawford were both members of Hollywood’s Rat Pack—Peter Lawford was President John F. Kennedy’s brother-in-law. Peter Lawford has even served as a judge on The Gong Show the host of which, Chuck Barris, claims to have been a CIA hitman. The Gong Show’s creator, Chris Bearde, worked for the William Morris Agency which likewise represented fellow Rat Pack-er’s Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr.) and the actor’s wife, Pat Kennedy Lawford (JFK’s sister)… Sinatra later…invited Judith to see his show in Las Vegas. It was there, on Feb. 7, 1960, at the Sands hotel, that Sinatra introduced Exner to John (F.) Kennedy, then campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination… The next day, Jack Kennedy invited Exner to lunch on Sinatra’s patio… For the next month, says Exner, Kennedy called her almost every day… They arranged to meet at the Plaza in New York on March 7, the night before the New Hampshire primary. "It was a wonderful night of lovemaking," says Exner… A week later Sinatra invited Judith to join him in Miami Beach at the Fontainebleau hotel, where he was appearing. There Frank introduced her to his mobster friends, Joe Fischetti and Sam Giancana, whom Sinatra called ‘Sam Flood.’ "I didn’t know then that Sam was the Chicago Godfather," says Exner, "but I did know he was important to Frank because of the way Sinatra acted around him, bowing and scraping and being so deferential." Once she knew Giancana and was intimate with Kennedy, Exner was in a perfect position to act as a liaison. "I feel like I was set up to be the courier," she says now… "I never told anyone else, because I thought I’d be killed. Look what happened to Jack (JFK was himself assassinated), and to Sam (Giancana), who was murdered in his house while under (Chicago) police surveillance," she says. Exner’s first assignment as courier, she says, was suggested by JFK at dinner in his Georgetown town-house on April 6, 1960… Jack (JFK) turned to me and said, ‘Could you quietly arrange a meeting with Sam (Giancana) for me?’… Pleased to be of help, Exner called Giancana the next morning and said she’d like to talk to him in Chicago…" I 937

told Sam that Jack (JFK) wanted to meet with him because he needed his help in the campaign (Frank Sinatra’s own song High Hopes was employed as an anthem in the Kennedy election campaign as well). Sam agreed to the meeting, and we set the date for four days later at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach. I called Jack (JFK) to tell him, then I flew to Miami because Kennedy wanted me to be there." Kennedy (JFK) met with Giancana at the Fontainebleau on April 12… That first meeting between Kennedy and Giancana seems to have been about the West Virginia primary. FBI wiretaps show large Mafia donations to the state campaign that were apparently disbursed by Frank Sinatra. This under-the-table money was used to make payoffs to key election officials. Giancana dispatched Paul "Skinny" D'Amato, who owned the famed 500 Club in Atlantic City, to the state to use his influence with the sheriffs who gambled in the illegal gaming rooms of Greenbrier County. These men controlled the state’s political machine, and many of them had been customers at Skinny’s club. Some still owed Skinny money, and others were more than happy to do him a favor, which was rewarded from a cash supply of more than $50,000. Their job was to get the vote out for Kennedy—any way they could. Kennedy won the May 10 primary easily, with 61 percent of the vote. After Kennedy received the nomination in July, he asked Exner to arrange several more meetings with Giancana. She assumes that at least one of them, at the Navarro Hotel in New York in early August, had to do with the general election. "After Jack was elected," says Exner, "Sam kept saying he would never have been President if it hadn’t been for his efforts on Kennedy’s behalf in Cook County, Illinois." An overwhelming turnout for Kennedy in Cook County (where Chicago is located) enabled him to carry Illinois by a slim 8,858 votes. In the early months of his Administration, Kennedy had little time for Exner. During this period, the presence of a Communist regime in nearby Cuba was becoming a major political issue. On April 17, 1961, the CIA backed an attempt by Cuban nationalists to oust Castro (this was an operation which was in fact ordered by Boston Brahmin McGeorge Bundy [his CIA agent brother, Yale Skull and Bones/CFRmember/Harvard attendee William P. Bundy, an Army Signal Corp officer during WWII, would serve as State Department*** liason for the Bay of Pigs invasion] representing a modern rehash of a previously failed Boston Brahmin/Young America/Carbonari attempt at a takeover of Cuba from some 100 years prior for which intrigue an exGeneral/secessionist leader/sitting American Governor was indicted by 938

the Taylor presidential administration “…for financing the invasion of Cuba, in violation of laws protecting the neutrality and peace of the United States…” and for which endeavor they had hired a Spanish revolutionary [See pp.210-11,220 Treason in America, a must read]. How true the truism that those who forget history are therefore doomed to repeat it. Our story is a classic case in point [*** “Beginning in 1939…the Council (the CFR) achieved much greater prominence within the government and the State Department when it established the strictly confidential War and Peace Studies (a committee created during WWII to advise the U.S. government on wartime policy and chaired by Undersecretary of State Norman Davis [Norman Davis served as president of the Council on Foreign Relations from 1936–1944 A.D.], a friend of powerful J.P. Morgan & Co. partner/Yale Skull and Bones-member Henry P. Davison, Chairman of the American Red Cross. That J.P. Morgan has major CIA affiliations is evidenced by the fact Thomas Higgins, Managing Director and Global Head of Operational Control for JPMorgan, was the Senior Officer and Station Chief in the CIA’s National Clandestine Service and head of the CIA’s National Resources Division, what Newsweek magazine describes as the “biggest little CIA shop you’ve never heard of.”*** This explains the lack of prosecution for the massive commodities fraud in which this company has been involved ), funded entirely by the Rockefeller Foundation… It was divided into four functional topic groups: economic and financial, security and armaments, territorial, and political. The security and armaments group was headed by (DCI) Allen Welsh Dulles who later became a pivotal figure in the CIA's predecessor, the OSS.” – Wikipedia: Council on Foreign Relations]). The failure of the infamous Bay of Pigs invasion (a CIA operation in which the Office of Naval Intelligence [ONI] had played a major role) was a major embarrassment for the (Boston Brahmin-associated) Kennedy Administration. The President told the nation he accepted sole blame for the Cuban fiasco. A few days after the bungled invasion, Kennedy called Exner in California and asked her to fly to Las Vegas to pick up an envelope from Roselli, which she was to deliver to Giancana in Chicago. Once there, she arranged a meeting between the President and the Mafia boss (this arrangement represented much more than just a CIA/Mafia association, more to the point it represented a Boston Brahmin/Mafia partnership in the grand old Carbonari Young America Youth Movement tradition). It took place in her suite at the Ambassador East on April 28… "Sam arrived 939

first and then Jack… He then went over and shook Sam’s hand. Sam said hello; he called him Jack, not Mr. President… On April 29, at Kennedy’s request, Exner flew to Florida, where she had drinks with Giancana and Roselli, who were there for a meeting. She picked up another envelope from them and returned to Washington on May 4th… For days and sometimes weeks at a time that spring and summer, Exner crisscrossed the country by train and plane at her own expense carrying plain 9" by 12" manila envelopes from Kennedy to Giancana and Roselli and back again… Blindly accepting her role as the President’s personal messenger, Exner never questioned what she was asked to do. "I thought I was in love with Jack. He trusted me and I was doing something important for him," she says. "I was 26 years old, and I didn’t have any great purpose in my life. That’s probably why I became so involved in doing this, and did it with such gusto. I guess I felt I was doing something important." Not until 1975, when the Senate committee report came out, did Exner guess at what might have been in the envelopes. "It finally dawned on me that I was probably helping Jack orchestrate the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro with the help of the Mafia," she says. Exner speculates that, in addition to communicating via courier, Kennedy and Giancana talked privately on the phone. "The White House logs show at least one call from Sam’s home outside Chicago to the White House," she says. "That was not a call I ever made." Moreover, Exner suspects that Kennedy and Giancana met at the White House… By early 1962, their relationship had begun to sour… "He called less and I called less." … By that time, Exner realized she was being followed. In his drive against organized crime, Attorney General Robert Kennedy had targeted Sam Giancana for top-priority investigation. (It is not known whether RFK knew of his brother’s dealings with the Mafia) (it would seem he did in fact know and that they had felt that they had been double-crossed). The federal agents following Sam naturally saw Exner in his company. They began watching her apartment, she says, and followed her when she went shopping. "They hounded me about Sam, and I was terrified," says Exner. "I called Jack (JFK) immediately to tell him that the FBI had been to see me, asking all sorts of questions about Sam. I told him I had said I knew nothing about Sam’s business affairs. Jack reassured me. He said, ‘Don’t worry. They won’t do anything to you. And don’t worry about Sam (Giancana). You know he works for us.’ He told me that over and over: ‘Don’t worry. Sam works for us.’ As the FBI surveillance 940

increased, Exner pressured Kennedy to intervene. "He’d say, ‘Ignore them. It’s just part of Hoover’s vendetta against me.’ He hated J. Edgar Hoover… On March 22, 1962, Hoover had a luncheon meeting with Kennedy at the White House to tell him that the FBI’s investigation of the Mafia had revealed Exner’s ties to Johnny Roselli and Sam Giancana. In addition, Hoover said, Exner had made calls to the White House and seemed to have a telephone relationship with the President’s secretary. Not knowing that she had been seeing Giancana and Roselli at the President’s request, Hoover warned Kennedy of the potential damage to his image if word got out (Hoover was known to blackmail his political opponents, keeping extensive records for this very purpose)… By the summer of 1962, the relationship was over… During her affair with Kennedy, when Exner had felt lonely or frustrated, she had often turned to Giancana for friendship and sympathy. "Sam was one of the nicest, kindest people I knew," she says. "I didn’t know he was a murderer. I wouldn’t have believed it." Only when she was no longer sleeping with Kennedy, she says, did she allow herself to drift into an affair with Giancana, who was a widower. The affair lasted just a few months, during the fall of 1962. "I was never in love with Sam. Our affair was over when he proposed and I said I didn’t want to marry him." Trying to put the past behind her, Exner settled down in Beverly Hills. On November 22, 1963, she was at a local hotel waiting to move into a new house when she learned that Kennedy had been assassinated… the Senate committee subpoenaed Exner. Of her testimony then, she says, "I lied before to protect myself. If I’d told the truth, I’d have been killed. I kept my secret out of fear." Exner’s fears were not unfounded. Senate investigators were ready to call Giancana to testify before the committee when, on the night of June 19,1975, he was shot seven times in the head in his Oak Park, Ill., kitchen. The killer was never found. Days later, Roselli testified before the Senate committee about the CIA attempts on Castro, including Giancana’s role. A year later, Roselli’s body was found in a 55-gallon oil drum weighted with heavy chains floating in Dumfoundling Bay near Miami.” - People Magazine© "The Dark Side of Camelot", Feb. 29, 1988 A.D. You can always tell the ‘blessed’ people—they’re the only ones left standing at the end of the bloody day. Like Exner, Frank Sinatra himself lived to croon on. (Following the Bay of Pigs fiasco [April 17-19, 1961 A.D.], John and Robert Kennedy drew up an investigative committee in order to ascertain the reason for the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion operation [the 941

investigations findings were critical of the leadership of Allen Dulles] and the brothers began the process of reigning in the power of the CIA [as well as of their Mafia allies] when the two of them were themselves assassinated [See The Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World Chapter 4: President Kennedy Attempts to Put the CIA Under Control by retired U.S. Air Force Colonel/CIA agent L.

Another Kennedy mistress of note was Mary Pinchot Meyer [Mary Pinchot (who can be tied to Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis [an associate of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Samuel T.

Roosevelt’s “Brain Trust”] who was a regular visitor to her Milford, Pennsylvania home) was also a friend to his brother Robert Kennedy; her best friend from college was none other than Cicely d’Autremont, wife of CIA counterintelligence czar James Angleton (Mary Pinchot Meyer, Cord Meyer, James Angleton, Richard M. Bissell, Jr. and W. Averill Harriman were part of the CIAassociated group of Washington D.C. journalists, politicians and government officials and their wives generally known as the Georgetown Set. Georgetown is home to the Harvard Universityadministered Dumbarton Oaks estate, site of the Dumbarton Oaks Conference which resulted in the birth of the United Nations). Mary’s father Amos Pinchot (a member of Yale Skull and Bones) was an associate of Theodore Roosevelt (Theodore Roosevelt himself acceded to the presidency through the assassination of U.S. President William McKinley by anarchist Leon Czolgosz, a member of the same Oneida Community religious commune which spawned presidential assassin Charles J. Guiteau, the man who had murdered President James A. Garfield [Garfield was then succeeded by pro-Carbonari U.S. President Chester A. Arthur. The Oneida Community was, incidentally enough, founded in 1848 A.D. by Yale University grad John Humphrey Noyes (famous for coining the term ‘free love,’ a later hippie mantra) in upstate New York in the year of the Carbonari’s Revolutions of 1848])—Cord Meyer had served with Theodore Roosevelt’s son Quentin Roosevelt during WWI], ex-wife of CIA agent Cord Meyer who had worked under Allen Dulles [Cord Meyer, who served as the the “principal operative” in the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird, was a ‘friend’ of counterintelligence chief James Angleton. Cord Meyer would later serve as CIA station chief in 942

London from 1973 – 1976 A.D.]. Mary Pinchot Meyer before her assassination had detailed her collusion in the CIA’s failed attempt to ‘mind control’ JFK through the use of LSD which she had claimed was supplied to her by CIA/MKULTRA psychiatrist Timothy Leary (JFK’s personal physician Max Jacobson was a frequent visitor to the Timothy Leary Millbrook estate)]. Mary Pinchot Meyer was the halfsister of Rosamond Pinchot (Rosamond Pinchot was the niece of Pennsylvania governor Gifford Pinchot) whose own death in 1938 A.D. was ruled a suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning (Yale Skull & Bones member** Gifford Pinchot had been a vice-president of the First International Congress of Eugenics in 1912 A.D. along with Winston Churchill, Arthur Balfour and Harvard University president Charles Eliot and was a Society for Psychical Research [SPR] member as well). (** “A look at the Skull and Bones roster reveals a wellconnected network of powerful Bonesmen. They’ve controlled the fortunes of the Carnegie, Rockefeller** and Ford families, as well as posts in the Central Intelligence Agency, the American Psychological Association [the APA], the Council on Foreign Relations (the CFR is headquartered in New York City)… The Skull and Bones are everywhere, which is shocking considering the group is relatively small. Only 15 members are admitted each year, which means there’s only about 800 living members at any one time. Yet, this small network is politically potent.” - The World's Most Powerful Secret Societies: The Skull and Bones by Jason Simpkins (**As we learn from Wikipedia: “In the late 1930s, the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation began contributing large amounts of money to the Council [on Foreign Relation (CFR)]. In 1938 they created various Committees on Foreign Relations throughout the country, funded by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation…”).) (*** Additionally: “Higgins is not the only former CIA operative to work at JPMorgan. According to a LinkedIn profile, Bud Cato, a Regional Security Manager for JPMorgan Chase, worked for the CIA in foreign clandestine operations from 1982 to 1995; then went to work for The Coca-Cola Company until 2001; then back to the CIA as an Operations Officer in Afghanistan, Iraq and other Middle East countries until he joined JPMorgan in 2011. In addition to Higgins and Cato, JPMorgan has a large roster of former Secret Service, former FBI and former law enforcement personnel employed in security jobs.” – Wall Street on Parade: JPMorgan Vice President’s Death in London Shines a Light on the Bank’s Close Ties to the CIA, February 12, 2014 A.D. As noted in Newsweek’s The Biggest Little CIA Shop You’ve Never Heard Of, the: “CIA’s National Resources Division, [is] a little-known, U.S.-based component of the agency's National Clandestine Service. The CIA’s main business is sending operatives abroad to recruit spies and, especially since 9/11, chasing down terrorists for its target-hungry drone pilots. But NR, as it’s known, is the agency’s stayat-home division. It’s nothing like Homeland (the Department of Homeland Security), however, with operatives running about with guns in the D.C. suburbs (though its 1960s-era 943

predecessors once spied on antiwar and civil rights activists and recruited Cuban exiles to harass Fidel Castro). It also works with the FBI and NSA in bugging foreign diplomatic missions there.” According to the New York Times’ James Risen: “The station [the CIA’s National Resources Division] was, among other things, a base of operations to spy on and recruit foreign diplomats stationed at the United Nations, while debriefing selected American business executives [many of whom are likely Intelligence operatives themselves] and others willing to talk to the C.I.A. after returning from overseas” [many of whom additionally allow the CIA to use the corporations over which they govern to: “…provide cover for CIA operations abroad…”]. No doubt many such American business executives who partner with the CIA, like JP Morgan CEO/Harvard University-grad Jamie Dimon, are Harvard and Yale graduates as well. As the article goes on to explain: “The best thing NR does, they say, is ‘finding and cultivating contacts in the local business world,’ says another former CIA executive. ‘They look for guys who have been to China, Mongolia, Vietnam, or whatever to debrief - all the way up to arranging with a company to provide cover for us… NR stays in regular contact with top Wall Street and other corporate executives.’ … JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon [a Harvard grad] and Goldman Sach’s Lloyd Blankfein [a Harvard-grad who succeeded Harvard-grad Henry Paulson, the former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under President George W. Bush (a Yale Skull and Bones-member who holds an MBA from Harvard University), as CEO of Goldman Sachs, various Sachs family members of which were Harvard University attendees as well], one former CIA executive recalls, loved to get visitors from Langley [home to the CIA headquarters building]. And the CIA loves them back, not just for their patriotic [read: partisan] cooperation with the spy agency, sources say, but for the influence they have on Capitol Hill, where the intelligence budgets are hashed out.” JPMorgan it is interesting to note is one of the largest donors to the CIA Officers Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit organization which provides college tuition assistance for children of CIA agents killed in the line of duty. Another fun JP Morgan Chase fact is MI5 agent/former British Labour Party Prime Minister Tony Blair’s appointment in 2008 A.D. to a senior advisory post at JP Morgan Chase [where he works closely with its CEO and Chairman, Harvard Business School-attendee Jamie Dimon, a Federal Reserve Bank of New York board member] at the end of Blair’s elected term. Remember this well: Where ever Tony Blair doth go, there the Illuminati is one should know) Of an interesting note, Rosamond Pinchot’s good friend Dorothy Hale would be suicided in the very same year, having it was ruled, jumped off a New York City building to her death [a fate she shares with the recently ‘suicided’ JP Morgan Vice President Gabriel Magee], after having attending a play with J.P. Morgan Jr. and wife and a party at the 21 Club** (the year prior to her death, Dorthy Hale had been involved in a torrid romance with Harry Hopkins, a WPA administrator who was President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s top adviser). Dorthy Hale (a former Zeigfeld Girl) and Rosamond Pinchot had in 1935 A.D. appeared together in a play called Abide with Me, written by Dorothy Hale’s friend, American playwright Clare Boothe Luce (years later, from 1953 – 1956 A.D. Clara Boothe Luce would serve as Ambassador to Italy (as reported in The Washington Post [10/29/1954], Luce was a witness to a flying saucer sighting in Rome), and as we learn from Wikipedia: “After Fidel Castro led a revolution in Cuba in 1959, Luce and her husband began to sponsor anti-Castro groups. This support included funding exiles in commando speedboat raids against Cuba in the early 1960s.” – Wikipedia: Clare Boothe Luce. No doubt their Intelligence associations ran quite deep, as Clare Boothe Luce, who had been an ardent supporter of the policies of John Foster Dulles, would in 1973 A.D. be named to President Richard Nixon’s President’s Foreign Intelligence Board [PFIAB] on which board she would also serve under fellow Republican presidents Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan). Dorothy Hale, it is interesting to note, had during the early 1930s carried on an affair with WPA artist Isamu Noguchi whom she would accompany on his travels to London and Paris. Isamu Noguchi is famous for his collaborations with Buckminster Fuller. During the 1940s Noguchi would retain a Greenwich 944

Village studio where he was a member of the Surrealist circle of magic-practicing automatist artists who resided thereat and would work as well with John Cage on the Merce Cunningham Broadway production of The Seasons which premiered in 1947 A.D. at the Ziegfeld Theater (originally built by Ziegfeld Follies producer Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. [amongst whose famous performers was Fannie Brice] in 1927 A.D. with money he borrowed from Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.’s friend William Randolph Hearst). In 1948 A.D. Isamu Noguchi would be awarded a Bollinger Fellowship. (** Located at 21 W. 52nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, the 21 Club began life as a former Prohibition-era speakeasy whose vault has stored the private wine collections of such illuminus individuals as Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford as well as those of Elizabeth Taylor [whose husband Richard Burton was a member of the Samson De Brier magic group], Ernest Hemmingway [Hemmingway’s friend, Milton Wolff had served in the British SOE during WWII and in the OSS under General ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan as well], Frank Sinatra [an associate of Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey], Gloria Swanson [a real black magic witch], Zsa Zsa Gabor [also a witch], Joan Crawford [a Warner Bros.© actress and self-styled ‘Modern Witch’], Aristotle Onassis, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, Sammy Davis, Jr. [a member of the Church of Satan] and Marilyn Monroe [who dated Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey]. Every president since Franklin D. Roosevelt [excluding George W. Bush] has dined at the 21 Club at one time or another. It certainly sounds as if the 21 Club was and is a truly magical place) Since the ’50s and ’60s the CIA has been in the process [which process itself began in England] of inextricably intertwining itself with the Department of Defense and has even set itself to do the same within the international corporate world [as evidenced by their activities in Hollywood and in the music and entertainment industries, as well as in newspapers and magazines, banks, etc]. The CIA has long been entrenched within the collegiate world [this was in fact the classic Illuminati program]. With former CIA director George H.W. Bush’s ascension to the presidency the CIA was thereby ensconced within the Executive branch of the U.S. government and through the efforts of his son George W. Bush the CIA has morphed itself into the behemoth known as the Department of Homeland Security. The very nature of CIA clandestine operations [ie., lies, murder and mayhem, which clandestine operations John F. Kennedy sought to end with his issuance of NSAM 55 and 57 prior to his assassination] opens up these people to such a mindset where they are in fact able to be Overshadowed by these virulent alien fallen angels, this made possible through the application of highly advanced electromagnetic weapons technologies. And there are those in fact in actual communication with the fallen angels themselves from whom they derive their ‘marching’ orders. And let us not forget it is virtually impossible to distinguish an alien angel from a white Caucasian male [See Hebrews 13:2], and this holds true today for angels donning CIA suits as well as military and police uniforms. As John A. Keel, “1966-67 Ufologist of the Year” writes: “…the ‘flying saucers’ are occupied by terrestrial-type beings who can be easily mistaken for known racial groups… Out of the 2,500 cases in which witnesses have reported seeing the UFO pilots themselves, roughly 90 per cent of these ‘pilots’ have been described as humanoid beings… In about 30 per cent of these cases, the ‘pilots’ were said to look exactly like us with only minor differences in facial features…” – Top-Secret: Evidence of Strategic Alien Bases. The fact is we have been created in the image of the Elohim, and the cherubim of the angels are the flying saucers of today—we share this Earth with rebel angels which makes the following statement by a man in the very center of the action most extremely intriguing: “The influence of the recent flying saucer legend has revived our consciousness of the possibility that alien infiltrators may now be living amongst us.” – p.60 The Flying Saucer Vision by John Michell, 1967 A.D. Concerning this subject I would say they most certainly do, and that they are fallen angels who are in open rebellion against God. The word ‘alien’ is of course a cognate of the word ‘angel.’ The rule of the world by the ‘ascended masters’/fallen angels through secret societies such as the CIA is known in occult circles as Synarchy. As John A. Keel adds: “The belief that alien parahumans are living among us is not confined to ufology circles. Numerous religious and occult groups have claimed for hundreds 945

of years that angels and devils who look and act exactly like us have been in our mist since the dawn of man…. Various UFO contactees claim the ‘spacemen’ have told them…interplanetary visitors are now residing in our cities… The late Dr. James McDonald, a meteorologist from the University of Arizona who became embroiled in the UFO controversy, privately discussed, in his last years, the possibility that alien beings were not only present on this planet but were systematically taking over top posts in the government and military.” SAGA: The Flying Saucer Evidence Everyone Ignores by John A. Keel. Even, perhaps, in the CIA itself) To this author, it would seem, the CIA’s partnership with the Mafia during Operation Mongoose extended earlier even into other MKULTRA Subprojects (many records of which have been quite understandably destroyed), particulary as concerning the CIA’s use of prostitutes supplied to them by Mafia elements including, I might add, those prostitutes supplied to them by clubs acting as prostitution fronts and seedy hotels/motels in the furtherance of administering LSD to a clueless unwitting public (as well as partnering with them in the aforementioned gun-running activities). The man in charge of this operation as you remember was George Hunter White, who in days prior attended a British-run OSS training site dubbed ‘Camp X’ (‘X’ being an esoteric sign for Azazel; see Appendix A) for schooling spies (which camp Hunter revealingly enough dubbed the ‘school of mayhem and murder’) in Canada during World War II. For an explanation we must first provide some background information: “In 1955 (George Hunter) White was transferred to San Francisco, where two more safehouses were established (under CIA/MKULTRA auspices). During this period he initiated Operation Midnight Climax (an alleged joint CIA/FBI blackmail project), in which drug addicted prostitutes were hired to pick up men from local bars and bring them back to a CIA-financed bordello. Unknowing customers were treated to drinks laced with LSD while White sat on a portable toilet behind two-way mirrors, sipping martinis and watching every stoned and kinky moment. As payment for their services the hookers received $100 a night, plus a guarantee from White that he’d intercede on their behalf should they be arrested while plying their trade. In addition to providing data about LSD (as an MKULTRA subproject), Midnight Climax enabled the CIA to learn about the sexual proclivities of those who passed through the safehouses. White’s harem of prostitutes became the focal point of an extensive CIA study of how to exploit the art of lovemaking for espionage purposes.” – Acid Dreams. Perhaps this tactic was later employed by the Mafia/CIA against President John F. Kennedy perpetrated by a plethora of mobbed-up women including Marilyn Monroe who despite her mob-associations had as you recall security clearance on the grounds of an Air Force Intelligence operation (the Mafia itself is also historically well known for its extortion activities; perhaps the Kennedy’s themselves became victims. Another Kennedy mistress of note is the CIA-associated Mary Pinchot Meyer [ex-wife of CIA agent Cord Meyer] who allegedly had supplied LSD to JFK supplied to her by CIA psychiatrist/MKULTRA researcher Timothy Leary. A number of prominent ‘statesmen’ it has been noted had taken LSD under MKULTRA auspices and JFK it would appear, was one of them). President Kennedy’s brother, a Marilyn Monroe confidante, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who made no secret of his intention of cracking down on mob activities, was later after JFK’s murder himself consequently assassinated. Go figure. I blame Overshadowing alien fallen angels. And such an event is not without precedence. As related in Acts 12:21-23, The Bible tells us King Herod was assassinated by an angel as Herod was being Overshadowed by the fallen angel Satan—Satan had been Overshadowing Herod during his search for the baby Jesus in order that he might assassinate him. Herod’s own death paved the way for Jesus’ return to the Promised Land. In Kennedy’s case it paved the way for a Republican return to the White House. The mobster Bugsy Siegel himself, it should be noted, was also subsequently assassinated. As everyone knows, dead men tell no tales (Pertinent Quote: “Possession is a major theme of magic and other occult practices [“the 946

occult spirits seem to choose a person as a vehicle and control that person to certain ends”] and, of course, is also found among the UFO contactee reports… They are not merely ‘in communication’; they are sometimes truly possessed, and in the worst sense of the word. They are mouthpieces rather than reporters… (John A.) Keel also asserts that the dangerous kind of possession usually associated with witchcraft and black magic ‘is apparent in many UFO contact cases.’ He refers to ‘a number of senseless murders’ which were reportedly ordered ‘by Martians or space people’ [or, if one prefers, by the Overshadowing fallen angels who pilot these UFOs]...” – pp.100,101 UFOs: What on Earth is Happening by Weldon/Levitt, 1975 A.D. It is interesting to note that ancient Greek tragedies and other works penned by practitioners of magic abound with tales of madness and demonic possession. ‘The devil made me do it’ is in essence a quite viable defense, and The Bible itself instructs its readers in the ways of avoiding such possession. It is not for goodness’ sake alone that God instructs you to behave in a certain way). Interestingly enough, J. Edgar Hoover, the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from its inception in 1935 A.D. until his death in 1972 A.D., and under whose watch occurred the assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy (whose ‘Killing of the King’-type murder was carefully orchestrated to occur at the all-important 33° of latitude in Dealy Plaza; prior to his death, in a speech before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, President Kennedy warned of the existence of a vast world-wide conspiracy by secret societies who were working within the United States to take control thereof (and they have. September 11 was a major coup for the secret societies about which he had himself forewarned). Google: JFK Secret Society Speech. Video may be found at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZYfeYhQ9eU&feature=player_embedded#at=104. In his speech Kennedy warns of a “ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means… a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.” He asked the newspapers to help him inform and warn the American public of this threat to the existence of our American Democracy. How did that play out historically? Journalists, not surprisingly considering the traditional role many have played in the greater Theosophical Movement, have buried the truth concerning these secret societies along with the President who was subsequently assassinated. Small wonder also when considering the CIA’s ongoing infiltration of American and international news organizations as part of its Operation Mockingbird [which operation’s “principle operative” was in fact Mary Pinchot Meyer’s ex-husband, CIA agent Cord Meyer] which began in the 1950s with which organization the President had been at war), the investigation of which J. Edgar Hoover personally supervised (and with whom JFK had also been at odds), said investigation being criticized by the United States House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) which held Hoover’s FBI “failed to investigate adequately the possibility of a conspiracy to assassinate the President,” one theory being Kennedy was assassinated by elements of the Mafia itself, (the Mafia being a Freemasonic/Carbonari creation within the greater Theosophical Movement) members with which Hoover had alleged associations, with high-degree Masonry long being associated with magic practices including the invocation of fallen angels, as well as being an organization which historically speaking has long indulged in political assassinations. As we learn in Wikipedia: John Edgar Hoover: “Hoover was a devoted Freemason, being raised a Master Mason (Blue Lodge 3°; this was, as you’ll recall, one of the prerequisites to becoming a member of the Illuminati) on November 9, 1920, in Federal Lodge No. 1, Washington, DC, just two months before his 26th birthday. During his 52 years with the Masons, he received many medals, awards and decorations. Eventually in 1955, he was coroneted a Thirty-Third Degree Inspector General Honorary in the Southern Scottish Rite Jurisdiction. He was also awarded the Scottish Rite’s highest recognition, the Grand Cross of Honour, in 1965 (less than two years after the Kennedy assassination). Today a J. Edgar Hoover room exists within the (Freemasonic) House of the Temple (in Washington, D.C.). The room contains many of Hoover’s personal papers and 947

records” (See J. Edgar Hoover, 33, Grand Cross-Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity Cartha DeLoach, Chairman, Hoover Foundation at Scottish Rite Journal of Freemasonry Magazine). Hoover had long denied the existence of the Mafia and organized crime in America [funny though the government was itself working with the Mafia during ‘Operation Mongoose’ and likely during MKULTRA as well]) (**The relationship between the OSS, a precursor of the CIA, and the Mafia apparently originated during World War II when contact was established to assist the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943 A.D. [See p.50 The Agency: The Rise and Decline of the CIA by John Ranelagh 1986 A.D.], though no doubt a Masonic confraternity existed amongst some associated individuals long prior to this date. One case in point is August Del Grazio, a New York City gangster and key participant in the heroine smuggling franchise famously known as the “French Connection” who was involved in helping to smuggle Allied spies and Mafiosi into German-occupied Italy during WWII. He was later known to have been interrogated by OSS officer George Hunter White which process included the administration of a ‘truth drug’) (Notable quote: “…not only are secret societies dangerous, but all societies whose object is mysterious [with a special emphasis to be applied concerning secretive Intelligence agencies]. The whole history of man is a proof of this position. In no age or country has there ever appeared a mysterious association which did not in time become a public nuisance.” – p.343 Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D. The CIA/NSA is a definite case in point) The plot certainly thickens when we delve into the life of Rolling Stones bandmember Keith Richards. As we learn from Keith Richard’s biography Life p.34, Keith Richard’s grandfather, Ernest G. Richards, had been a politically active Labour Party stalwart and personal friend to Labour Prime Minister Clement Atlee, a Member of Parliament for Walthamstow (former Illuminus Youth Movement leader and British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli revealingly enough had himself attended school there in Walthamstow. Disraeli was a friend of Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton [and Edward Bulwer-Lytton was a disciple of the ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi. See p.30 The Romance of Sorcery). Keith Richards was raised there in Walthamstow which is located in northeast London, his family having moved from Dartford, home to Burroughs Wellcome and Company (in its time the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, later subsumed by GlaxoSmithKline) and the Burroughs Wellcome and Bowater paper mill (companies founded by members of the Burroughs family from whose prominent English ancestry hailed Harvard University graduate/Beat poet William S. Burroughs, an heir to the Burroughs fortune [as a sidenote, partner Henry Wellcome’s ex-wife Syrie sired a child by British Intelligence agent W. Somerset Maugham. This child would marry the sister of Andrew Parker Bowles whose own ex-wife is married to Charles, Prince of Wales, a testament to everyone’s interconnections, as William S. Burroughs would befriend another of member of the Bowles family, Paul Bowles]). The Rolling Stones had even retained as one of their lawyers one Bill Carter who had served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War and who later “joined the Secret Service and ended up guarding (President John F.) Kennedy” and who had in fact “been everywhere with Kennedy, planned his trips and knew all the key officials in every state Kennedy had visited. He was close to the center. After Kennedy’s death he was an investigator on the Warren Commission” (Ibid p.10) charged with the investigation into the assassination of John F. Kennedy (concerning the Warren Commission: “In the foreword to the last edition of the [Warren] commission’s report, A Presidential Legacy and The Warren Commission, Gerald Ford said the CIA destroyed or kept from investigators critical secrets connected to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said the commission’s probe put ‘certain classified and potentially damaging operations in danger of being exposed’ (no doubt a number of which we have touched upon in this exposѐ and these of a decidedly treasonous as well as anti-Christian character). The CIA’s reaction, he added, ‘was to hide or destroy some information, which can easily be misinterpreted [or, conversely, correctly interpreted] as collusion in JFK’s assassination.’” – Wikipedia: Warren Commission). Bill Carter’s own mentor was a Harvard University grad named Wilbur D. Mills. Known as the 948

‘the most powerful man in Washington’ during his tenure, Wilbur D. Mills was the longest serving chairman (1957 – 1975 A.D.) in the history of the United States of the uber powerful House Ways and Means Committee. The Rolling Stones were certainly a well connected bunch of musician magicians.

I believe one internet blogger also sums up the interrelationship of many of 1960’s most seminal events quite nicely in one lone sentence when he writes: “Without further ado, we begin this journey—for no particular reason—with the aforementioned (comedian) Phil Hartman (murder victim and ex-Jimi Hendrix roadie), who was a high school friend of Lynette ‘Squeaky’ Fromme, who later became a disciple of Charlie Manson, a jailhouse correspondent of John Hinckley (John Hinckley, Jr. attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan; as we learn form Wikipedia: “Hinckley’s father was a financial supporter of George H.W. Bush’s 1980 presidential primary campaign, where Bush [a former director of the CIA] was Reagan’s closest rival for the Republican nomination prior to becoming his Vice President.” In fact, according to an Associated Press report dated March 31, 1981 A.D.: “The family of the man charged with trying to assassinate President Reagan is acquainted with the family of Vice President George Bush and had made large contributions to his political campaign.... Scott Hinckley, brother of John W. Hinckley Jr. who allegedly shot at Reagan, was to have dined tonight in Denver at the home of Neil Bush, one of the Vice President’s sons…” Had this assassination attempt been successful, Vice-President Bush would then have become U.S. President. Thanks to the CIA’s infiltration of America’s major news organizations [and many international news organizations as well] via its Operation Mockingbird, most reports concerning this fact were subsequently as may be expected, stifled), and the attempted assassin of President Gerald Ford (if successful, this would have resulted in a Nelson Rockefeller presidency, the Rockefeller family also having extensive CIA associations), who was once a roommate of modeling entrepreneur Harry Conover (owner of the Conover Modeling Agency in New York City), whose wife was the infamous Candy Jones (who claimed to be a victim of the CIA’s MKULTRA mind-control program, doubtless her story is true), who was ‘treated’ by CIA-linked (MKULTRA) hypnotist William Jennings Bryan, who also ‘treated’ the purported Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, whose name was written repetitively throughout the diaries of Sirhan Sirhan 949

(Sirhan Sirhan had assassinated JFK’s brother U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy), who was also ‘treated’ by Bryan, who served as the technical director on The Manchurian Candidate (a 1962 A.D. film starring the Mafiosa actor Frank Sinatra, whose wife was the daughter of a high-ranking Mafia Capo, and co-starring Angela Lansbury whose family had major Theosophical Society connections [Lansbury’s own daughter, Didi Lansbury, was herself a member of the Manson Family]), which was directed by John Frankenheimer (Frankenheimer was a friend of Senator Robert Kennedy [who as Attorney General under his brother President John F. Kennedy had pursued a relentless crusade against organized crime] and had driven him to the Ambassador Hotel in Hollywood, Los Angeles the night Robert Kennedy was shot on June 5, 1968 A.D.), at whose beach house a dinner was held on June 5, 1968 whose attendees included (along with Robert Kennedy hours prior to him being driven to the Ambassador Hotel and subsequently assassinated) ‘Mama’ Cass Elliot (a member of the rock group The Mamas and the Papas), Roman Polanski (Roman Polanski was an indebted associate of the very organized crime figures Robert Kennedy sought to prosecute, as was Frank Sinatra), and Sharon Tate, who was killed just over a year later by followers of Charlie Manson, whose music was recorded by Doris Day’s son, music producer Terry Melcher, who lived with girlfriend Candace Bergen (co-star of the magical 1968 A.D. John Fowles film, The Magus, Bergen would go on to star as T.V.s Murphy Brown) at 10050 Cielo Drive the year before it became a slaughterhouse after being rented by Polanski (Candace Bergen was a guest at the PolanskiTate wedding), who initially was slated to pen the screenplay for Day of the Dolphin, which purported to tell the story of Dr. John Lilly, who was a friend of (CIA/MKULTRA psychiatrist) Timothy Leary, whose Mellon family-owned Millbrook estate was frequently visited by Dr. Max ‘Feelgood’ Jacobson, who once ‘treated’ Judy Garland and who served as the personal physician of John (F.) Kennedy, whose assassination prompted the shelving of the film The Manchurian Candidate by its star, Frank Sinatra, who was a frequent companion of fellow ‘Rat Packer’ Sammy Davis, Jr., who was an acknowledged member of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan, from where Manson recruited killers Bobby ‘Cupid’ Beausoleil and Susan ‘Sexy Sadie’ Atkins, who confessed to her cellmates that she had stabbed to death actress Sharon Tate, who was inducted into witchcraft on the set of the Polanski-directed film The Fearless Vampire Killers (one of the stars 950

of this film, German-Jewish actor Ferdy Mayne, had served as an MI5 British Intelligence informant during WWII) by Alexander ‘King of the Witches’ Sanders, who received ‘training’ as a child from Aleister Crowley, whose followers included Anton LaVey and fellow Church of Satan member Kenneth Anger, who was the roommate (and probable lover) of (Manson) Family member Bobby Beausoleil, who once appeared in an underground film titled Mondo Hollywood, which also featured hairdresser and Manson victim Jay Sebring, who was a former lover of Sharon Tate, who was a friend of a wealthy widow named Charlene Caffritz, who played host to—and filmed the (sexual) exploits of—Charlie (Manson) and some of his girls (possibly ritual in nature and perhaps falling into the ‘filmed magic ceremony’ category, a quite common thread within our story), who also lived for a time with Beach Boy Dennis Wilson (at whose house Charles Manson performed sex-magic rituals in which Dennis Wilson was a participant), who recorded a song penned by Charlie (Manson), who was an occasional member of the entourage of Mama Cass, who was listed as a defense witness for Charlie’s trial (but never called), as was her Mamas and the Papas band-mate John Phillips, who was close to (Roman) Polanski, (Sharon) Tate, (Terry) Melcher, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Cass Elliot, and film producer Robert Evans, who was working with—and very likely contracted the execution killing of— Roy Radin (vaudeville promoter Roy Radin, at the time of his murder, was a co-investor of the 1984 A.D. movie The Cotton Club along with Las Vegas casino owners Edward and Fred Doumani and Arab arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi), whose assistant was Michael DeVinko aka Mickie DeVinko aka Mickie Deans (DeVinko and Radin were associated with The Police Conference of New York, a police fund raising organization), who married—just a few months before her untimely death—Wizard of Oz star Judy Garland (who was suicided by an overdose of barbiturates), who as a teen was flooded with phone messages and telegrams by admirer Oscar Levant (who appears in Vincente Minnelli’s 1951 A.D. film An American in Paris), whose dead body was found by Candace Bergen, who—as a photojournalist for Life magazine (and quite possibly CIA vetted as well as a CIA asset)—covered the preempted presidential campaign of Robert Kennedy, who was romantically linked to Marilyn Monroe, who was also linked to Anton LaVey, who appeared in Kenneth Anger’s Invocation of My Demon Brother (released in August of 1969) along with (Manson Family inner-circle member) Bobby Beausoleil, Mick 951

Jagger and Keith Richards, who was a guest at the 1968 London wedding of Sharon Tate to Roman Polanski, who—during a nude photo shoot—molested a thirteen-year-old girl at the home of Jack Nicholson (why a nude photo-shoot of a thirteen-year-old girl was taking place at Nicholson’s home begs the question of whether Polanski was himself a victim of extortion), who was a friend of Cass Elliot, as were (Rosemary’s Baby producer) Robert Evans and Manson victims Jay Sebring, Voytek Frykowski and (Folger’s Coffee heiress) Abigail Folger (it it of the utmost import to note Abigail Folger is related to the Illuminus Freemasonic statesman Benjamin Franklin. In fact, Benjamin Franklin’s mother’s maiden name was also Abigail Folger for whom Ms. Folger was named), who provided funding for the Himalayan Academy, which Kenneth Anger helped form with Timothy Leary, who was at the side of the stage at the 1969 Altamont concert where—while The Rolling Stones played the Process Churchinspired Sympathy for the Devil—a fan was killed on film by the Hell’s Angels (which snuff film-footage was incorporated into the Rolling Stones’ film Gimme Shelter), who had been romanticized and transformed into anti-establishment heroes in the film Scorpio Rising by Kenneth Anger and in the book Hell’s Angels by Hunter S. Thompson (Thompson it is interesting to note worked as a security guard/caretaker at Slate’s Hot Springs, a resort motel, for Sequoia Seminar in Big Sur just prior to its becoming the Esalen Institute [in the beginning Thompson lived there in a house with Murphy and Price]; Thompson himself was ‘suicided’ in 2005 A.D.), both of whom have been accused of making snuff films for private collectors, which was also a favorite pastime of Charlie Manson, one of whose underage recruits was Didi Lansbury, who had written permission to travel with Charlie from her mother, Angela Lansbury, who starred as the control agent in The Manchurian Candidate, which was based on the novel of the same name by Richard Condon, who once served as a publicist for Walt Disney, who once owned the home where the Manson Family slaughtered Leno LaBianca and wife Rosemary, who was involved in the trafficking of drugs (Leno LaBianca: “…had also served on the board of directors of a Hollywood bank police believed was Mafiaconnected. Several of the bank’s board members were convicted of fraudulent business dealings.” – p.590 The Ultimate Evil; at the time of his murder his phone was being bugged, so no doubt he himself had been silenced), as were many of those in this twisted saga, including Charles Manson, victims Voytek Frykowski and Abigail Folger, John Phillips and Kenneth 952

Anger, who was a huge fan of the dark and violent imagery of the Rosicrucian-inspired, L. Frank Baum-penned Oz books, which inspired the band The Magick Powerhouse of Oz, which was led by Bobby Beausoleil, who was also at one time in the band Love with Arthur Lee, four of whose members later turned up dead or missing and presumed dead, as did Charlene Caffritz (a friend of murdered actress Sharon Tate), Cass Elliot (who allegedly choked on a sandwich in 1974), Dennis Wilson (who allegedly drowned on December 28, 1983), and Gram Parsons (a Harvard attendee and good friend of John Philips of The Mamas and the Papas who lived in France for a time with Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones; Gram Parsons, born Ingram Cecil Connor III was an heir to the Snively fortune—it is upon the old Snively ranch in Florida on which Disney World now sits), whose corpse was stolen and burned at Joshua Tree (National Park) on the autumnal equinox of 1973 (his death occurring on the heels of the so-called Gram Parsons and the Fallen Angels tour with Emmylou Harris as a promotion for their new album) by his band’s road manager, Phil Kaufman (according to vampire lore: “Vampirism has always been associated with black magic. Those who practiced black magic during their lifetime were particularly likely to become vampires after their death.” – An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present by Doreen Valiente, 1973 A.D. The “only remedy” to this problem, it was said, “was to dig up the body and burn it,” to dig up the body of the practitioner of magic, and to reduce said body to ashes [Ibid pp.381,382]), who was a good friend from prison of Charlie Manson, who met (at Cass Elliot's house) (Cass Elliot was a co-member with Charles Manson’s ex-cell mate Phil Kaufman’s friend John Philips of the band The Mamas and the Papas) and received money from victim Abigail Folger, who also funded Kenneth Anger (a friend of Manson Family member Bobby Beausoleil), who at various times lived with both Jimmy Page (who purchased Crowley's home and many of his artifacts) and Keith Richards & Anita Pallenberg (with whom Gram Parsons also lived with for a time), whose home—in 1979—yielded the body of a teenager who had been shot to death, as was John Lennon the next year by Mark David Chapman, who shortly before doing so met with—and offered a gift of live bullets to—Kenneth Anger, whose films were cited as a major influence by photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, who was implicated by witnesses in the Halloween 1981 execution killing of New York photographer Ronald Sisman (a close associate of Roy Radin), who was reportedly in 953

possession of a snuff film of one of the Son of Sam murders (also known as the ‘Apocalypse Trials’ in occult circles), which were allegedly committed by David Berkowitz, who from prison accurately described the Sisman killing before it happened and who took the fall for the Son of Sam murders to cover up the involvement of others (for more information see The Ultimate Evil by Maury Terry), including possibly Roy Radin and wealthy art dealer Andrew Crispo, who admitted being present at the site of a ritual murder which was committed by a man named Bernard LeGeros (for which homosexual sadomasochistic Satanic ritual murder LeGeros received a 25 years to life prison sentence in 1985 A.D.), who was the son of a State Department official (son of John LeGeros, a U.N. executive officer), as was Pic Dawson, who was a regular member of the entourage of Cass Elliot (“Cass’ beau at the time of her fatal heart attack [variously ‘choking’ death; the jury is still out] was Pic Dawson, then under investigation by Scotland Yard for international drug smuggling, and the son of a State Department official under Henry Kissinger.” – The Covert War Against Rock by Alex Constantine), as was a one-time bodyguard of publisher Larry Flynt named Bill Mentzer, who was convicted of killing (Roy) Radin and who was suspected of involvement in numerous other contract murders (including an attempt on the life of ex-FBI agent Ted Gunderson who was involved in the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union investigation involving Satanic child sexual abuse, drugs and the CIA), including some of those attributed to (‘Son of Sam’ murderer) David Berkowitz (the Son of Sam cult was as Berkowitz once explained during an NBC news interview, involved in drugs, Satanic ritual murder, child pornography and child prostitution), who was ‘examined’ by psychiatrist/hypnotist Daniel Schwartz, as was Mark David Chapman, who was obsessed with the film The Wizard of Oz and the book The Catcher in the Rye, which was written by reclusive author J.D. Salinger, who served in the OSS with Henry Kissinger (Henry Kissinger was in fact originally born in Bavaria, home of the Bavarian Illuminati), who was a close adviser to Gerald Ford, who once met and shook hands with Mark David Chapman, who was ‘examined’ by psychiatrist/hypnotist Bernard Diamond, who also ‘examined’ (Robert Kennedy assassin) Sirhan Sirhan, who had connections to the Process Church, as did many of those ensnared in this sordid web, including Kenneth Anger, John Phillips, Roy Radin, David Berkowitz and Charlie Manson, who attended a New Year’s Eve party at the home of John Phillips, who wrote the siren song of the 954

‘Summer of Love,’ bringing thousands of hippies and flower children streaming into San Francisco and into the hands of such figures as Louis ‘Dr. Jolly’ West (an American psychiatrist involved in CIAfunded MKULTRA LSD experimentation), Anton LaVey, Charlie Manson, Bobby Beausoleil, Timothy Leary (an American psychiatrist involved in CIA-funded MKULTRA LSD experimentation) and Kenneth Anger, who—just three days after the suspicious death of Rolling Stone Brian Jones—filmed the Hell’s Angels stomping the crowd at a 1969 (Rolling) Stones concert in London, just five months before they did the very same thing to the crowd at Altamont, which was organized by San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli (a CIAassociated lawyer), who consulted with F. Lee Bailey (an O.J. Simpson defense lawyer) whilst the latter was busily railroading Albert DeSalvo (aka the ‘Boston Strangler’) and later consulted with Richard ‘The Night Stalker’ Ramirez, who was offered an honorary membership in the Church of Satan by Anton LaVey’s daughter Zeena, who along with boyfriend Nickolas Schreck staged an event on 8-8-88 celebrating the slaughter of the victims of the Manson Family, who some researchers believe were involved in the murders attributed to the ‘Zodiac,’ who called and sent correspondence to Melvin Belli, whose clients included the widow of (Nazi) Hermann Goering and (the mob-associated) Jack Ruby, who assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald, the purported assassin of John (F.) Kennedy, whose brother Robert (Kennedy) was romantically linked to Jayne Mansfield (a high priestess in Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan in which Kenneth Anger was also a member), as was Anton LaVey, who served as Roman Polanski’s technical director on the 1968 film Rosemary’s Baby (Polanski’s mother had died in a Nazi concentration camp), which was set in New York’s Dakota Apartments, where John Lennon was gunned down by Mark David Chapman, who shared a fixation on The Catcher in the Rye with failed assassin John Hinckley, Jr., who stalked actress Jodie Foster (12 year old co-star with Robert De Niro of the 1976 A.D. film Taxi Driver, cinematography by Michael Chapman whose film credits include Steven Spielberg’s film Jaws), who is working on a film biography (never made due to Jewish opposition to the project) of Leni Riefenstahl (a German actress/film director [she directed a number of Nazi propaganda films] associated with Adolph Hitler, Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, German-Jewish director Max Reinhardt, German actress/OSS spy Marlene Dietrich and pro-Nazi carmaker Henry Ford), who was met by—and admired 955

by—fellow filmmaker Kenneth Anger, who laced his film Scorpio Rising with Nazi imagery (Leni Riefenstahl being a post-WWII associate of Kenneth Angers’ mentor Jean Cocteau. In later life she would be befriended by artist Andy Warhol), including the prominent use of swastikas, not unlike the one carved into the forehead of Charlie Manson (“Next to George Spahn’s property [the Spahn Movie Ranch where was located the Manson Family commune] stretched the Krupp Ranch, owned by one of the wealthiest families in Nazi Germany, a ranking sponsor of Hitler’s aggression and its accompanying atrocities.” – The War Against Rock by Alex Constantine [Perhaps this is where one might expect to find a German shepherd blood-drinking cult such as the Kirkѐ Order of Dogblood one of whose headquarters was said to be located in a house near Spahn Ranch [See p.152 The Family], communal home to the Manson Family. And perhaps it is spelled with a K due to the fact it was headed by Mary Pickford’s actor/friend James Kirkwood, star of the 1924 A.D. film Circe the Enchantress, [whose son James Kirkwood, Jr. was a personal friend of Clay Shaw who was once tried for being part of a CIA JFK assassination conspiracy]),

who—at the Cielo Drive home of [Robert Kennedy’s friends] Polanski and Tate—had a chance meeting with Nancy Sinatra, the daughter of Frank Sinatra, who was married to actress Mia Farrow, who starred in the Polanski-directed Rosemary’s Baby (for which movie Kenneth Anger’s friend and fellow Church of Satan member Anton LaVey served as occult advisor), which was produced by Robert Evans, a friend of Henry Kissinger, who was the right hand man of President Richard Nixon, whose election was insured by the assassination of Robert Kennedy by Sirhan Sirhan [it must be remembered John F. Kennedy beat out the Prescott Bush-mentored (Prescott Bush being a known Nazi-collaborator) politician Richard Nixon for the presidency in the 1960 election, and that the Kennedy’s sought to stifle the power of both the Mafia and the CIA (the CIA [in which organization served Prescott Bush’s son George H.W. Bush] employing a number of former Nazis spiriterd into the U.S. under Operation Paperclip)], who was yet another client of Melvin Belli [a CIA-associated lawyer], as were the Hell’s Angels and Nazi-collaborator Errol Flynn, who made two films with Ronald Reagan (whose Vice President was the aforementioned former CIA Director George H.W. Bush), who was an occasional visitor to the childhood home of Candace Bergen, who—as a photojournalist—chronicled the short-lived administration of Gerald Ford, who married one of his friend Harry Conover’s ‘Covergirls,’ who later opened the Betty Ford Center, where various celebrities in and out of this web routinely check in for tune-ups (and which 956

possibly by definition is a CIA ‘front’ operation).” – Inside the LC by David McGowan, 2002 A.D. A sordid web it is indeed which reaches to the top. Added to the list of individuals heavily influenced by the Theosophical Society is David Spangler, prominent architect and theoretician of the modern New Age movement. The following is one of his most notable quotes: “No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation [such an oath of allegiance to/pact with the devil is of course a black magic mainstay].” – Reflections on the Christ by David Spangler. David Spangler’s name by one account is “an anagram for ‘Grandpas Devil’”; go ahead, check it out, it is! ‘Grandpa’ was H. P. Lovecraft’s nickname—interesting that he should associate himself therewith). Spangler was a one-time co-director of the Findhorn Foundation, a Scottish charitable trust registered in 1972 A.D. by the spiritualist community (read: commune) at the Findhorn Ecovillage (established in 1962 A.D.) in Great Britain (also associated with the Findhorn Foundation was the Spiritualist Sir George Trevelyan, 4th Baronet, one of the founding fathers of the New Age Movement (George Trevelyan ties to the Carbonari of the 19th Century Spiritualist Movement through his forebear Thomas Babington Macauley). Trevelyan links to Dr. Walter Johannes Stein, a student of Theosophical Society-member Rudolph Steiner who later taught at Rudolph Steiner’s Waldorf School in Stuttgart, Germany (as Trevelyan notes in his book Exploration into God, he himself became a member of Rudolph Steiner’s Anthroposophical Society in 1942 A.D. after a meeting with Dr. Walter Johannes Stein, and Sybil Leek herself informs us on p.113 of The Complete Art of Witchcraft that she had been employed at a “Rudolph Steiner School in New Forest in England.” Concerning the Waldorf Schools, the teachings of which is rooted in Anthroposophy, I leave you with an insider’s quote, for as Eugene Schwartz in The Waldorf Teachers Survival Guide states: “Most of that which contributes to our work as teachers, preparation work, artistic work, even meditative work is under the guidance of Lucifer. We can become great teachers under his supervision, for he is responsible for much of what has blossomed in the unfolding of civilization and culture in the past.”). Author Trevor Ravenscroft has linked Walter Johannes Stein to both Winston Churchhill (Sybil Leek herself had served in British Intelligence under Winston Churchill during WWII) and Adolf Hitler in his book The Spear of Destiny— Walter Johannes Stein was said to have advised P.M. Winston Churchhill as to the nature of occult Nazi magic beliefs during the Second World War (Walter Johannes Stein was himself immersed in the search for the Holy Grail having authored a book on this subject and appears to have been connected to the Nazi-associated Thule Society which had initially been the name of the Munich lodge of the Germanenorden Walvater of the Holy Grail which was itself dedicated to the search for the Holy Grail. George Trevelyan would likewise himself become a seeker of the Holy Grail). Trevelyan was also an associate of WWII RAF Air Marshall Sir Robert Victor Goddard, a Spiritualist heavily involved in flying saucer investigations (to explore the link between Spiritualism and UFOs, as well as the UFO connection to magic practices in general, see The Demonic Theory of UFOS by John of the Gentiles. Trevelyan had before his stint with the Findhorn Foundation been previously involved with the Soil Association [established 1946 A.D.] co-founded by Lady Eve Balfour who served as the organization’s first president. Lady Eve Balfour was British P.M. Gerald Balfour’s daughter; her mother was the daughter of Robert Bulwer-Lytton, son of occultist Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Trevelyan himself was namesake of his grandfather Sir George Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, Secretary of State for Scotland/Chief Secretary for Ireland under British P.M. William Gladstone and of his father Sir George Trevelyan, 3rd Baronet, who served in the Labour cabinet of British P.M. Ramsey MacDonald and was married to the sister of archaeologist Gertrude Bell—Gertrude Bell was a British Intelligence agent whose grandfather was a Member of Parliament [M.P.] in Young England leader Benjamin Disraeli’s Carbonari government. Findhorn community [today a world renowned spiritual center dubbed 957

the ‘Vatican of the New Age’ where thousands of people attend courses at Findhorn Foundation College each and every year (designated by the U.N. a as certified United Nations Institute for Training and Research, Findhorn is a CIFAL center in the U.N.’s CIFAL Network) and whose patrons include queen’s consort Prince Philip Duke of Edinburg (a career officer in the Royal Navy who took part in the WWII Allied invasion of Sicily; Philip had been a member since 1947 A.D. of the Order of the Garter, a veritable witch’s coven, and is involved in British government UFO investigations as well. Sir George Trevelyan [who with British RAF Air Marshall Sir Victor Goddard (a leading spiritualist/ufologist) would form the Wrekin Trust, an organization whose stated purpose is to promote non-sectarian spiritual education] was Prince Philip’s teacher at the Gordonstoun School in Scotland, essentially a boarding school of magic whose curriculum is built around philosophy derived from Plato’s The Republic [a book in which Plato lays out his blueprint for the creation of a great totalitarian state ruled by a central elite], the Gordonstoun School in essence being a reformulation of Plato’s original Academy of the magical arts), husband of our current Queen Elizabeth II, as well as Hollywood actress/psychic/occultist/spiritualist medium/channel Shirley MacLaine (born Shirley MacLean Beaty, sister of Hollywood actor Warren Beaty whose father, Ira Owens Beaty, was a CIA-associated professor of psychology of the MKULTRA variety; Shirley Maclaine has starred in films alongside British Intelligence agent/Hollywood actor David Niven, mafia-member Bugsy Siegel’s actor/friend George Raft and mafia-associated Rat Pack-ers Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford in Warner Bros.© and Hal B. Wallis film productions. Shirley MacLaine was a member of the Theosophical Society as well). Peter Caddy was an old friend of RAF Air Marshal Peter Horsley [who allegedly had his own encounter with an “alien” in London in 1954 A.D. (See Sounds From Another Room [1997 A.D.])] who was in charge of RAF UFO investigations and who reported personally to Prince Philip who himself had had an avid interest in UFO phenomena. See Saucers Over Findhorn by Fortean Times© (2006 A.D.)]. Findhorn founder Peter Caddy’s later wife Eilleen Caddy’s former husband had played a significant role in the CIA-associated Moral-Rearmament organization, and Peter Caddy himself had been a member of the Crotona Fellowship of Rosicrucians with which Wicca witch Gerald B. Gardner and Theosophical Society president Annie Besant’s daughter were associated); David Spangler was at one time the resident featured speaker at the Fellowship of Universal Guidance in the Los Angeles area, a parapsychology organization involved in such occult fields as astrology and psychic readings (also associated with the Fellowship of Universal Guidance was the Spiritualist teacher Roger Hinkins whose notable students included The Beach Boys’ founding-member Carl Wilson, younger brother of Dennis Wilson). Grandpas Devil David Spangler has also significantly enough taught classes at the California Institute of Integral Studies. According to Spangler’s page at the Lorian Association website: “…since 1974 he has been a Fellow of the Lindisfarne Association (founded by former California Institute of Integral Studies visiting professor William Irwin Thompson [partly funded by Laurence Rockefeller] and located in Crestone, Colorado [Crestone is a New Age spiritualist center largely organized by Royal Society-member Maurice Strong, a United Nations Undersecretary General]; it is associated with the Esalen Institute which itself has had extensive CIA/British Intelligence associations)—an association of scientists, artists, philosophers, economists, and spiritual leaders (whose membership ranks included Beatnik poet Gary Snyder, The Rolling Stones inner-circle member John Michell [author of The Flying Saucer Vision who taught at its School of Sacred Architecture during the 1980s], and OSS scientist/MKULTRA experimenter Gregory Bateson and his daughter Mary Catherine Bateson along with the CIA-associated Esalen Institute founder Michael Murphy) working at the cutting edge of scientific and cultural transformation… His current work involves developing and teaching a spiritual practice called Incarnational Spirituality” (the Naropa Institute, later renamed Naropa University, opened in Boulder, CO [Boulder being a well-known New Age Mecca] also in 1974 A.D.; it seems after the 1960s some major MKULTRA-associated operations were moved from San Francisco to Colorado: “Naropa University is a private 958

American liberal arts university in Boulder, Colorado founded in 1974 by Tibetan Buddhist teacher and Oxford University scholar Chögyam Trungpa [Bolder is located just 25 miles from Denver, a city which Newsweek magazine has described as being “a hotbed of U.S. military and intelligence activity”]... Besides spirituality [read: Spiritualism], Naropa is noteworthy for having hosted a number of Beat poets under the auspices of its Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics... The Jack Kerouac School was founded at Naropa University in 1974 by Chögyam Trungpa, and Beat Generation poets Allen Ginsberg [Ginsberg’s own ‘life-partner’ Peter Orlovsky was also a faculty member there at Naropa] and Anne Waldman [Waldman additionally had ties to the Beat poets William S. Burroughs and the self-styled ‘philosophical anarchist’ Lawrence Ferlinghetti].” – Wikipedia. It was here at Naropa that OTO-member Harry Smith once served as Shaman in residence. Naropa, in essence, was/is a government-sanctioned OTO school of magic. The Criss-Cross commune with which filmmaker Stan Brakhage and Black Mountain poets Ed Dorn [who would later become a professor at the University of Colorado in 1977 A.D.—the U of CO like most of the American colleges/universities within our story has hosted WWII-era V-12 Navy College Training Programs and is home to a NASA/JPL-associated Aerospace Engineering Sciences training department**] and Allen Ginsberg’s friend Robert Creeley were associated also opened near Boulder, CO in 1974 A.D.) (U of CO was alma mater of a number of prominent ufologists including psychologist R. Leo Sprinkle [a Flying Saucer Review consultant], it being home to the Condon Committee formed under the recommendation of ufologist J. Allen Hynek in response to the public outcry concerning the existence of UFOs: “The Condon Committee was the informal name of the University of Colorado UFO Project, a group funded by the United States Air Force from 1966 to 1968 at the University of Colorado to study unidentified flying objects under the direction of physicist Edward Condon.” – Wikipedia: Condon Report. Following the issuance of the Condon Report [which ruled out extraterrestrial visitations by alien intelligences], Project Bluebook [which concluded that UFOs probably did not originate from outside this planet] was ‘officially’ closed [thereby giving credence in the eyes of many to the Interdimensional Hypothesis as well as the Demonic Theory of UFOs as regards to the origination of UFOs]. In the words of David Spangler: “Incarnational Spirituality recognizes the non-physical or spiritual realms as part of the larger wholeness and coherency of the world and teaches methods of forming alliances with spiritual forces” (See David’s Page at the Lorian Association website. The Lorian Association was founded by David Spangler and British Intelligence agent Dorothy Maclean** in 1973 A.D. [**Dorothy Maclean was one of the three original members who in 1962 A.D. would found the initial group of what would become the Findhorn Ecovillage of which David Spangler was a member. Neil Oram, a major figure in the London Underground of the 1960s also sojourned for a time at Findhorn Ecovillage in Scotland in 1968 A.D. before going on to found his own spiritual center at Goshem in the mountains above Kenneth Anger’s friend/Led Zeppelin band-member Jimmy Page’s home in Aleister Crowley’s old castle at Loch Ness in Scotland]). The ‘spiritual forces’ of which David Spangler speaks and with whom his followers would form an alliance, are, of course, the rebellious fallen angels! David Spangler also professes to have had familiar conversations with the New Age false prophet, the Illuminati ‘Lord Matreya’ (See p.45 UFOs in the New Age), who is in faqct the fallen guardian angel Azazel. It must be noted The Oprah Winfrey Show guest motivational-speaker and New Age-author Marianne Williamson, whose Spiritualist book A Course in Miracles** was brought to prominence as an Oprah’s Book Club offering cites David Spangler as a personal friend and mentor (**not to be confused with Spiritualist medium Helen Schucman’s A Course in Miracles, the basis of MKULTRA’s Subproject 130 which sought to channel ‘Jesus’ with whom Ms. Schucman claimed to be in contact). Oprah Winfrey is one of the latest influential persons of note to take up the New Age Spiritualist mantle which has greatly contributed to its increased popularity. All of these RAF-centric New Age organizations were born of the UFO Contactee movements of the early 1950s: 959

“The (Findhorn) Community’s true origins lie in the 1950s… Central to Findhorn’s origins is…flying saucers… one of the core beliefs held by Findhorn’s founders in the Fifties and Sixties was that flying saucers existed, and their occupants (whom Findhorn Ecovillage founder Peter Caddy referred to as his ‘space brothers’) were in psychic contact (these aliens were in telepathic communication with him and some of his followers who served as ‘channels,’ a channel being the modern day New Age counterpart of the earlier Spiritualist Movement medium [indeed, as occultist Stephan A. Hoeller explains in Wise Men from the East, “channeling” is but “another kind of Spiritualism.” As Sir George Trevelyan himself explains in his book Exploration into God, through the “channelling” process itself one may therewith “make direct contact with discarnate beings” from “higher worlds,” and that “true channeling” involves “the cultivation of the ability to allow the thoughts and teachings” of a “higher Mind to enter our human minds,” although he does provide the reader with the following caveat: “This obviously has its dangers, since there are many evil beings who would strive to take possession of human souls…”])… Although the group was now working closely with nature spirits, Caddy’s flying saucer fascination continued unabated. He forged links with many saucerians who shared his vision, including American contactee Dan Fry and New Age maven Sir George Trevelyan, who was making tentative enquiries among the flying saucer elite about the possibility of forming a national UFO authority within the UK. Through Trevelyan, Caddy also met Brinsley le Poer Trench (Lord Clancarty), (RAF) Air Marshall Sir Victor Goddard and Johan Quanjer (a New Age mystic philosopher), all dedicated saucer fanatics.” – Fortean Times©: Saucers Over Findhorn (As we also learn therefrom, Peter Caddy’s associates at that time included former Labour Party P.M. Clement Atlee [who had previously served in P.M. Winston Churchill’s WWII wartime cabinet] and the Spiritualist Theosophical Society-member/WWII RAF commander Lord Dowding who has published a number of books on the subject of Spiritualism. Pertinent Quote: “Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, Commander-in-Chief of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain in 1940, was greatly interested in the subject of UFOs and on a number of occasions made some courageous statements, such as the following: ‘More than 10,000 [UFO] sightings have been reported [including the so-called ‘foo fighter’ UFO sightings reported by Allied airmen including RAF pilots under his command during WWII], the majority of which cannot be accounted for by any ‘scientific’ explanation… They have been tracked on [RAF as well as civilian aviation] radar screens…and the observed speeds have been as great as 9,000 miles an hour… I am convinced that these objects do exist and that they are not manufactured by any nation on earth. I can therefore see no alternative to accepting the theory that they come from some extraterrestrial source… I think we must resist the tendency to assume that they all come from the same planet, or that they are actuated by similar motives. It might be that the visitors from one planet wished to help us in our evolution from the basis of a higher level to which they had attained [a typical Theosophical Society/New Age teaching].” – p.47 Above Top Secret by Timothy Good, 1988 A.D. In his film, Lies, Deceptions, UFO’s and the Secret Agenda [2008 A.D.], Timothy Good, formerly of the British Ministry of Defense, explains that the U.S. Army Air Force had shot down a UFO during the 1940s, later retrieving the wreckage). The Kenneth Anger/Anton LaVey-associated Rolling Stones frontman/(OTO?) witch Mick Jagger is currently connected with pop singer Madonna’s Kabbalah Centre, a proponent of Jewish mysticism and (OTO?) magic headquartered in the City of fallen Angels, Los Angeles, California (as are Kabalists Ashton Kutcher [Kutcher is an adept student of Kabbalah (at times he even sports the red Kabbalah bracelet) and his father is of Bohemian descent (his forebears hail from the Habsburg monarchy’s Kingdom of Bohemia)] and Gwyneth Paltrow [Paltrow’s father is of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, the Ashkenazi being notorious practitioners of magic], amongst a host of other well known Hollywood celebs/musicians including Madonna’s friend, pop singer Britney Spears and the actress 960

Elizabeth Taylor along with Paris Hilton, Elizabeth Taylor’s grand-niece by marriage. Elizabeth Taylor’s ex-husband Richard Burton had once been a member [along with Mick Jagger’s OTO/Church of Satan friend Kenneth Anger] of the Sampson De Brier magic group which at one point included Jack Parsons. Madonna’s music itself has been contractually produced by and appear on Warner Brothers Records©’ Warner Music Group imprints as should come as no surprise considering Warner Bros©’ own historic magic associations). Closely associated with the Kabbalah Centre (headquartered in Los Angeles, CA) is the United Nations children’s charity UNICEF. No longer sole property of Jewish intellectual elites, the Kabbalah Centre serves up Kabala to the mystical bourgeois masses: “In 1971, with virtually no money, Karen Berg and her husband, Philip Berg—the spiritual leader known to followers as the Rav—opened their first Kabbalah Centre (in L.A.), turning traditional Jewish wisdom upside down by offering Kabbalah study to women and non-Jews. The Bergs had a simple but radical idea: Kabbalah wasn’t just for elite Jewish scholars but was something that could be simplified and taught to everyone.” – (so now you know) What's Behind Hollywood's Fascination with Kabbalah? – Goldberg/Thomson 2005 A.D. There exists 40 such affiliated Kabbalah Centres worldwide, including one in London, Tel Aviv (the original center was founded in Tel Aviv in 1922 A.D. by Philip Berg’s first wife’s uncle, Rabbi Yehuda Brandwein, Berg’s Kabalist mentor) and Midtown Manhattan (originally known as the National Institute for the Research of Kabbalah, founded by Berg in 1965 A.D.). The Kabbalah Centre in L.A. [along with its affiliated offshoots] is indeed an outgrowth of earlier OTO activities.

Anton LaVey also circa 1971 A.D., in an effort to dispel certain established stereotypes, writes: “We are living in the only period in history in which it is considered fashionable to be a witch. Given this complete public acceptance, an understandable tendency towards fadism develops. The once-stigmatizing label of ‘witch’ has become a title of positive intrigue and has attained a status never before realized. But this marks a considerable transition in the image of the witch. The biblical warnings against witches were such that it meant torture and death for anyone accused of the heresy of witchcraft. The Middle Ages [during which time witches often served as mediums for Jewish Kabalists and Christian Cabalists] was the worst period in history for a person to be accused of sorcery. However, the only similarity to today’s witch is the glamorous appearance that some of the condemned women of the witch trials possessed. It is quite obvious from the charges leveled against many innocent girls that their only crime was in being sexually appealing.” - The Satanic Witch (published 1989 A.D.) by Anton LaVey, first published in 1971 A.D. under the title: The Compleat Witch.

Magic-themed T.V. shows featuring such sexually appealing practitioners of magic hit the1960’s networks with I Dream of Jeannie (“I Dream of Jeannie is a 1960s American sitcom with a fantasy premise. The show starred Barbara Eden as a 2000-year-old genie [jinni/fallen angel], and Larry Hagman as an astronaut who becomes her master, with whom she falls in love and eventually marries. 961

Produced by Screen Gems, the show originally aired from September 1965 to…September 1970…” – Wikipedia: I Dream of Jeannie. Note the tie in with angels [and the co-mingling of human and jinni/angel], rocketry, and the NASA space program) which provided its very own interesting spin on the story of the jinn (fallen angels) as well as Bewitched with its lovable blundering family of witches (“Bewitched is an American situation comedy [also by Screen Gems] originally broadcast for eight seasons on ABC from 1964 to 1972, starring Elizabeth Montgomery, Dick York (1964–69) and Dick Sargent (1969–72), Agnes Moorehead [Anges Moorehead appears in Curtis Harrington’s 1971 A.D. film What’s the Matter with Helen?], and David White. The show is about a witch who marries a mortal and tries to lead the life of a typical suburban housewife. Bewitched continues to be seen throughout the world in syndication and on DVD and was the longest-running supernatural-themed sitcom of the 1960s– 1970s era.” - Wikipedia: Bewitched). Grandpa from The Munsters (1964 A.D. – 1966 A.D.) was also an avid if at times ineffectual practitioner of magic as is another family of teenage wizards on the Disneysanctioned T.V. program Wizards of Waverly Place (“Wizards of Waverly Place [Waverly is by the way the name of the street on which took place the very witchy Manson Family’s La Bianca murders, the murders occurring at a house formerly owned by Mr. Walt Disney himself (See p.310 The Family)] is a Disney Channel Original television series that premiered on October 12, 2007. It won “Outstanding Children's Program” at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards in 2009. A film adaptation of the series, Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, premiered as a Disney Channel Original Movie on August 28, 2009; In 2010, the film adaptation won “Outstanding Children's Program” at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards. The series was created by Todd J. Greenwald [a graduate of Emerson College located in Boston, MA], and stars Selena Gomez, David Henrie and Jake T. Austin as three wizard siblings with magical abilities competing to win sole custody of the family powers.” - Wikipedia: Wizards of Waverly Place) and Sabrina the Teenage Witch (“Sabrina the Teenage Witch [titled Sabrina and the Groovie Goolies during its first season] is an American animated series produced by Filmation that aired on CBS from 1970 to 1974…” - Wikipedia: Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Such television programs are specifically designed to precondition viewers to exhibit a more favorable attitude towards witches and the magic practices with which they are involved ). Other later

popular magic-themed shows include a live version of Sabrina the 962

Teenage Witch, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed (“Charmed is an American television series that originally aired from October 7, 1998, until May 21, 2006…” - Wikipedia: Charmed. Charmed featured the antics of a group of four “sexually appealing” witches) and Supernatural (“Supernatural is an American drama and horror television series created by Eric Kripke, which debuted on September 13, 2005 on The WB [Warner Bros.©], and is now part of The CW’s lineup. Starring Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, the series follows the brothers as they hunt demons and other figures of the paranormal.” - Wikipedia: Supernatural. ‘Azazel’ is a demonic incarnate humanoid character who first makes an appearance on Supernatural in an episode called ‘Lucifer Rising.’ There is also a new show called The Secret Circle© about a magic circle of pretty, hip youngish witches. Indubitably, as witchcraft researcher Hans Holzer notes in his book Witchcraft: “If you think…witches are bent old crones hobbling around on a gnarled stick…you have been seeing too many old Disney movies.” Like Kenneth Anger himself, Hans Holzer, a practicing witch, is famous for his film documentaries of assorted magic ceremonies. American public interest in UFOs and space travel also was at a peak during the 1960’s ushering in such popular television programs as The Jetsons (1962 – 1963 A.D., again, by Screen Gems), My Favorite Martian (1963 – 1966 A.D.), Lost in Space (1965 – 1968 A.D.) and Star Trek (1966 – 1969 A.D., created by professed Humanist Gene Roddenberry, the chief mission of Star Trek’s Star Ship Enterprise being, of course [and I quote], to “Seek out and contact alien life forms.” Gene Roddenberry along with his friends, the most significant of which was MKULTRA parapsychologist/Army Intelligence officer Andrija Puharich [Puharich had personally worked alongside Dr. Sidney Gottlieb on various MKULTRA parapsychological subprojects] constituted what the authors of The Stargate Conspiracy [1999 A.D.] notes is a “highly influential cultish group who claim direct, telepathic communication with extraterrestrial intelligences” known as the Council of Nine [“who are,” and I quote, “virtually worshipped by their followers”]. Amongst this cultish group [a group which included corporate New Age guruconsultant/Harvard instructor Ira “The Unicorn Killer” Einhorn** (a Pennsylvania hippie activist friend of Jerry Rubin, Abbie “Kill your parents” Hoffman and Allen Ginsberg) and his Vassar-educated 963

Canadian heiress ‘patron’ Phyllis Bronfman] involved in the supersecretive Stargate Project were: “…top industrialists, cutting-edge scientists [from Stanford Research Institute and including a number of NASA employees amongst whom it would appear was ufologist Dr. J. Allan Hynek, Dr. John C. Lilly, a one-time scholar in residence at the CIA-associated Esalen Institute and Harold E. Puthoff: “In the 70s and 80s he (Harold E. Puthoff) directed a CIA/DIA-funded program at SRI International to investigate paranormal abilities, collaborating with Russell Targ in a study of the purported psychic abilities of (CIA remote viewers) Uri Geller, Ingo Swann, Pat Price, (Intelligence officer) Joseph McMoneagle and others, as part of the Stargate Project (some of the Stargate Project experiments taking place at the American Society for Psychical Research).” – Wikipedia: Harold E. Puthoff], popular entertainers [many of whom had been war-time Intelligence agents or were the children of Intelligence agents], radical parapsychologists and key figures in military and intelligence circles” [including of course Andrija Puharich and Dr. Sidney Gottlieb]. The Nine’s influence we are told “…even extends to the threshold of the White House itself [in the form of a reputed politician friend of President Gerald Ford].” In reality the extraterrestrial beings comprising the Council of Nine are rebel fallen angels—the mysterious Council of Nine do in fact claim to be the “Elohim [the angels]…of the Old Testament” of The Bible [they also claiming to be the Aeons of the Gnostics, the Gnostic equivalent of the Biblical angels]. This band of space brothers additionally has ties to the Esalen Institute which ran seminars concerning the Council of Nine—the Esalen Institute even playing host to the New Age spiritualist mediums involved in channeling these extraterrestrials. Puharich himself had claimed to have first established contact with The Nine in 1952 A.D. As OTO-member Robert Shell explains: “Kenneth Grant, the British head of the Ordo Templi Orientis and also a friend of mine, has speculated that these beings referred to as ‘those on high’ [occupants of UFOs] are the same beings that Aleister Crowley referred to as the Secret Chiefs, and the Egyptians deified into their many god forms [including most specifically the aforementioned gods constituting the Ennead of Heliopolis, a word which translates as The Nine]. These beings are, in the ultimate setting, the true rulers and the true owners of this planet.” – Revelation: The Divine Fire Chapter 9. And again, the fact that this information is contained in Chapter 9 is entirely in deference to their being known as The Nine [**Amongst the star-studded individuals for 964

whom 1960s/70s radical anti-Vietnam War counter-cultural hippie Ira Einhorn served as New Age guru included the Lee Strasberg Actors Studio actress Ellen Burstyn [she was discovered by filmmaker Jack Hill who got his start as a cinematographer in the Roger Corman produced/Francis Ford Coppola directed sci-fi film Battle Beyond the Sun (1959 A.D.). Jack Hill would also co-direct the Roger Cormanproduced AIP film The Terror [1963 A.D.] with Francis Ford Coppola and fellow actor Jack Nicholson)] of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry (she appears in Frank Sinatra’s 1964 A.D. Essex Productions film For Those Who Think Young directed by Warner Brother Television© director Leslie H. Martinson along with Nancy Sinatra, Claudia Martin, George Raft and Theosophical Society-member Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s goddaughter Anna Lee and in The Exorcist [1973 A.D.] with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-connected actor Jack MacGowran, star of no less than three Roman Polanski films. Her husband, Neil Burstyn, a [schizophrenic] screenwriter for The Monkees television program, would be ‘suicided’ in 1978 A.D.), one of many stars making cameo appearances on the hugely popular Warner Brother Television Production© television program 77 Sunset Strip starring Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. (an early practitioner of Transcendental Meditation and a disciple of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi). Actors making cameo appearances on this show included Star Trek star William Shatner, Batman stars Adam West and Burgess Meredith, Bewitched star Elizabeth Montgomery, Diane Ladd, Church of Satan-member Keenan Wynn, Rebel Without a Cause star Jim Backus, Beverly Hillbillies stars Buddy Ebsen and Max Baer Jr., Peter Lorre, Tuesday Weld and Pennsylvania-born actor Nick Adams (drug ‘suicided’ in 1968 A.D., and whose body would be discovered by, you guessed it, actress Susan Strasberg), a friend of Elvis Presley (Presley was himself drug ‘suicided’ in 1977 A.D.) and James Dean (previously suicided by ‘car accident’ in 1955 A.D.)]. Notice how all of the usual names pop up in all of the most magical of places. As convicted murderer/New Age guru Ira Einhorn explains in his book Prelude to Intimacy, occultist Colin Wilson, Rolling Stones inner-circle member/ufologist John Michel, Francis Huxley [son of Julian Huxley, first Director-General of UNESCO, and nephew of Aldous Huxley. Francis Huxley was one of the directors of Steve Abram’s SOMA Research Association organization now known to have been CIAfunded under MKULTRA auspices through its Human Ecology Foundation] and British spy Arthur Koestler were amongst the 965

individuals with which he commonly associated in Britain during his many years as a murder fugitive on the run from the law. As Ira Einhorn explains: “I had run a huge network for years that had provided information of all sorts to an international group of scientists, scholars, writers, political activists, and corporate leaders. It was financed—it may surprise some—by Bell of Pennsylvania [Einhorn notes: “This network initially began under the aegis of Moses Hallett with the blessing of Bill Cashel, then President of the Pennsylvania Bell Telephone Company and later Vice-Chairman of A.T.&T.” It is unsurprising considering Pennsylvania is the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, populated by a people historically associated with magic practices in America and Europe], and it evolved from my work with Andrija Puharich and Uri Geller on psycho-kinesis and consciousness [as Einhorn explains: “Andrija Puharich (1918-1983) has been called the father of the New Age movement. A physiologist by academic training…he worked at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), NYU, and his own research center in Maine with Buckminster Fuller, Aldous Huxley, and Uri Geller in attempts to bridge the gap between parapsychology and medicine, including the use of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic waves.”]). The network grew to include people in 25 countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain, people with instant planetary recognition among the cognoscenti. Information flowed to me, and I redirected it, aided by Pennsylvania Bell for the duplication and mailing. When something happened in many “edge” disciplines, I heard about it, quickly. I was not only in the flow, I was the conduit for much of the flow.” Ira Einhorn was part of a CIAassociated occult Invisible College of sorts. It is this “Invisible College” (a group presumably including no small number of FSR International Flying Saucer Bureau members) of which John A. Keel writes: “The Midwest UFO Network (MUFON) [founded in Quincy, IL in 1969 A.D.] now dominates the American scene after defecting from APRO [the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, a Tucson, AZ based UFO group founded in 1952 A.D. whose major figures included WWII U.S. Intelligence officer Dr. James E. McDonald and CalTech-grad/UCBerkeley professor James Harder (McDonald and Harder [Harder being a Flying Saucer Review magazine consultant] were included in the group of scientists who testified on the subject of UFOs before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science and Astronautics in 1968 A.D.)] and regrouping around Dr. Hynek [the U.S. Air Force consultant for various government UFO research 966

projects including Projects Sign, Grudge and Bluebook, Hynek was the the Chairman of the Department of Astronomy at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL] who is becoming the center of a new personality cult (Hynek’s participation in Project Bluebook UFO investigations was officially terminated in 1969 A.D.)… Dr. Hynek [founder of the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) Chicago-based UFO organization] frequently alludes to his “Invisible College” of scientists [a group including Northwestern University alumnus Andrija Puharich] working on the problem [for more information see The Invisible College: What a Group of Scientists has Discovered About UFO Influences on the Human Race by Dr. Hynek’s assistant Jacques Vallee, 1975 A.D.].” - THE JOURNAL OF POPULAR CULTURE Volume 8, Issue 4, Spring 1975: The Flying Saucer Subculture by John A. Keel. MUFON, like its predecessor APRO and CUFOS after it, studied the magical/folklore aspects of the UFO phenomenon)

(As we learn from Louis MacNeice in his book Astrology [1964 A.D.], in the early 1960’s there numbered over 5,000 working astrologers catering to some 10,000,000 customers in the U.S.A. The most popular astrological magazine, Horoscope, had a monthly circulation of 170,000 and that worldwide “innumerable periodicals” included “a regular horoscope feature,” amongst which was Elle © Magazine read by over “half of the French adult population.” Theosophical Society teachings, it must be noted, are flavored with tenets encountered in Indic astrology. At one point in the 20th Century the Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical Society was holding weekly lectures (members of the Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical Society included British Brigadier Roy C. W. G. Firebrace, co-founder [1958 A.D.] of the Astrological Association of Great Britain who had acted as an observer and interpreter for Winston Churchill during WWII). In fact, the era which oversaw the creation of the Theosophical Society in 1875 A.D. amidst a 19th Century Anglican explosion of interest in all things occult was similar in nature to the occult resurgence of the later 1960’s; both owe this resurgence in interest to the Theosophical Society and its offshoots. That period witnessed the publication of Zadkiel’s Handbook of Astrology (1861 A.D.) written by an ex-Royal Navy Englishman named Richard James Morrison, who also had published an annual astrological almanac which sold 60,000 copies annually; Raphiel’s Witch also circulated at this time, such astrological almanacs/publications considered to be haute-coultre in 19th Century Victorian England. Carrying on the example of the sorcerer astrologers of the Renaissance, the 1880’s witnessed 967

astrologers (including Theosophical Society-member Alan Leo, a soldier in a Scottish regiment who was an associate of Theosophical Society president Annie Besant) assuming such exotic angelic pseudonyms as Aphorel, Charubel (a Welsh mystic named John Thomas), Casael and Sepharial (aka Dr. Walter Gorn Old. These Theosophical Society-members/astrologers formed [the Theosophical Society’s] Astrological Lodge of London). This resurgence in occult astrological interest continued well into the 20th Century and in its current watered down state enjoys a certain degree of popularity in many parts of the country even today. Predicting the future has always been a popular pastime. In fact, by World War I, an astrological publication entitled Zadkiel’s Almanac was selling more than 200,000 copies per year. Some early 20th Century astrologers of the period geared their predictions towards the handicapping of horse races as well as towards cherry-picking stock market winners [Sephariel’s The Silver Key: A Guide to Speculators (1914 A.D.), a magical guide to successful speculation and gambling, being quite the notable example]. Entertainers such as Charles Chaplin and Mary Pickford and 100,000 other such subscribers just like them followed the stock picking tips to be found in the newsletter of the superstar N.Y. astrologer Evangeline Adams (whose own books on astrology had largely been ghost-written by the ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley) only to careen into ruin during the Stock Market Crash of 1929 A.D. Today there exists an American Federation of Astrologers geared towards the publication of astrological books in America. It must be noted the author of the book entitled Astrology (1964 A.D.), namely, Louis MacNiece, a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, was an attendee of England’s Marlborough College (founded in 1843 A.D. for the education of the sons of Church of England clergy) and a member of its quasi-Masonic Honorable Fraternity of the Amici (founded in 1851 A.D.). The Honorable Fraternity of the Amici is a secret society based in Marlborough College, England and was named in honor of the Italian astronomer/astrologer/ceremonial magician Giovanni Battista Amici (1786 – 1863 A.D.). The Fraternity has lodges in most of the larger private schools in England, the most significant lodges being in Eton, Wellington and Radley. Based upon Masonic rituals and ceremonies, the symbols of the Fraternity include the ‘All Seeing Eye’ of Horus/Azazel, the Masonic Supreme Being. MacNeice also has ties to Oxford University, bastion of the infamous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. And Louis MacNeice, it turns out, was an acquaintance 968

of W.B. Yeats (as well as T.S. Eliot), who was, like Louis MacNeice, a magic-practicing Irish poet in the old Celtic Bardic tradition. W.B. Yeats (along with Aleister Crowley) was a leading member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as well as a prominent member of the Theosophical Society (as was his associate Louis MacNeice). Louis MacNeice was also a playwright/producer of a number of British Broadcasting Center (BBC) radio plays [the BBC has in fact done much to promote the practice of witchcraft]) (It was the British Labour Party itself [spearheaded by the efforts of Labour M.P. Thomas Brooks, an ardent practicing Spiritualist], the political party of so many self-professed Spiritists, Spiritualists, Theosophical Societymembers, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-members, alchemists [as previously noted, alchemical adepts of the hermetic sciences are known as Labourers (See p.91 The Mystery of the Cathedrals by ‘Fulcanelli’), hence the Labour Party designation], Unitarians, Rosicrucians, Freemasons, ceremonial magicians, New Agers and SPR men, all expounders of the ‘spiritual science,’ as we learn, which succeeded in pulling the teeth from the existing British Witchcraft Acts allowing for the resurgence in interest in all things occult and thusly paving the way for the 1960s countercultural revolution in both England and America: “In 1736 James I’s Witchcraft Act of 1604 was repealed, and replaced by an Act which said in effect that there was no such thing as witchcraft, and that anyone who pretended to occult powers was ipso facto a fraud, and should be prosecuted as such. It was under this Act, coupled with the Vagrancy Act, that spiritualist mediums were prosecuted up to 1951. In 1951, as we have seen, it was repealed in its turn and replaced by the Fraudulent Mediums Act. This again reflected the change in intellectual climate, from the rather materialistic rationalism of the 18th and early 19th Centuries to the present-day investigations into parapsychology (another word for ‘psychical research’), psychic research and study generally as pioneered by such bodies as the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) and such philosophers as Carl Gustav Jung, together with the rise of such movements as Spiritualism and Theosophy. Once again the spirit of the age has changed, and the change is reflected in its laws... In 1953, two more articles about Black Magic in Britain appeared in the October and November issues of a psychic periodical, now defunct. Among all the usual sensationalism, tales of “pacts with the Devil,” “blood sacrifices,” “black rites,” “orgies,” etc., etc., appeared this significant passage: “Spiritualists recently rejoiced that they had at last 969

been granted their ‘freedom charter.’ One of the last things the Labour Government did was to place upon the Statute Book the Fraudulent Mediums Act (the Fraudulent Mediums Act was itself repealed in 2008 A.D. under European Union statutes, now being governed by EU Consumer Protection Regulations) which replaced the centuries-old Witchcraft Act and Vagrancy Act, under which mediums were open to prosecution every time they held a sѐance or conducted a service in a Spiritualist church. For many years Spiritualists in and out of the House of Commons had been campaigning for the withdrawal of these two Acts, but some people who had a little more vision warned that abolition would open the door for all sorts of occult practices, some of which were undesirable to say the least. That is exactly what has happened.” Some of the stories retailed in these articles were identical with those which had been told in 1951. Further, we were informed that “A journalist who was carrying out an investigation of certain Occult practices was forced to drop his story as being ‘too hot to handle’ when he found the identity of some of the people involved.” “High officials of political parties [including the British Prime Minister himself and of course, members of the Labour Party],” we were told, “consulted occultists.” - The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald B. Gardner, 1959 A.D.). Of the repeal of the last of the line of the Witchcraft Acts the British witch Doreen Valiente writes: “At long last witches were free to practice and openly acknowledge the Old Religion.” Thanks largely in part to efforts by the SPR (as well as I might add the associated ASPR) which had in fact included a number of well known witchcraft personalities including Gerald B. Gardner, the ancient magic practice of spirit communication was afforded a Christian veneer. As Colin Wilson explains: “All this (he refers to the body of books on the subject of Spiritualism written by members of the British SPR) has tended to present a picture of spiritualism as a harmless branch of Christianity, when, in fact, it is more closely related to the witchcraft of the Reformation or the Dionysian religion of ancient Greece.” – p.494 The Occult. And Colin Wilson was no mere outsider looking in but was himself as he notes in his book Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast a very knowledgeable member of the Society for Psychical Research deeply involved in occult studies and magic practices himself. As William J. Petersen rightly notes in Those Curious New Cults (1973 A.D.): “…many Spiritualists claim that they practice a high form of Christianity, yet obviously Spiritualism cannot rightly claim to be Christianity at all… Spiritualism is not a version but rather a perversion of Christianity.” Indeed, The Bible, the very book upon which Christianity itself is based, in Leviticus 19:31 contains an admonition against consulting such Spiritualist mediums. On this subject, however, I will leave you with the words of former Spiritualist medium Victor H. Ernest who in his book entitled I Talked to Spirits (1970 A.D.) likewise vehemently warns: “Just what are these spirits and how do these spiritualist phenomena occur? I cannot emphasize too strongly they are part of Satan’s strategy to deceive Christians and to enslave those who do not know God.” 970

In the true spirit of the Theosophical Society amidst the resurgence of interest in occultism also comes the venerable Monroe Institute. In the bookstore on the Monroe Institute’s website (www.monroeinstitute.org, March 6, 2011 A.D.) one may find the following books for sale: Listening to Extraterrestrials by Lisette Larkins: “UFO Phenomena have been examined by experts from every angle, and there is no shortage of theories about what the ETs are up to and why. Instead of guessing and theorizing, why not learn how to communicate with the extraterrestrials yourself? As evolved and enlightened beings, many ETs are available to help and mentor you as a spiritual coach once your telepathic connection has been established. This book is the first of its kind, teaching simple techniques that enable real communication with extraterrestrials.” Talking to Extraterrestrials by Lisette Larkins: “You might be surprised to know that millions of otherwise ordinary people around the world are currently having some sort of contact with extraterrestrials, but have never told anyone for fear of ridicule – and worse. Lisette Larkins is such an ‘experiencer’ and embodies a brave new voice, poised to spearhead a movement in which others like her finally step forward in greater numbers and share with us what they have learned from these fascinating beings.” “The Monroe Institute (TMI) (named after its founder Robert Monroe, son of CIA agent John Monroe. Robert Monroe is author of a book entitled Journeys Out of the Body detailing his out of body journeys to the “spirit world.”) is a nonprofit education and research organization devoted to the exploration of human consciousness (the basis of Spiritualism itsef is founded upon the survival of human consciousness after death), based in Faber, Virginia, United States. Upwards of 20,000 people are estimated to have attended TMI’s residential Gateway program during its first thirty years…TMI claims a policy of no dogma or bias with respect to belief system, religion, political or social stance (a typical Theosophical Societystyle approach)… It comprises several buildings on 300 acres (1.2 km2) of land south of Charlottesville (which is kinda pretty near the CIA headquarters in Langley), Virginia, USA. One of its activities includes teaching various techniques…to expand consciousness and explore areas of consciousness not normally available in the waking state (in an effort to achieve ‘altered states of consciousness’). In 1978, the U.S. military 971

evaluated TMI and arranged to send officers there for OBE (out of body experience, also known as ‘remote viewing’) training. In 1983, it sent further officers… In 1994 a front page article in the Wall Street Journal reported confirmation from the former director of the Intelligence and Security Command of the U.S. Army sending personnel to the institute. It also stated the opinion of the head of the Zen Buddhist temple in Vancouver British Columbia that “Gateway (TMI) students can reach meditation states in a week that took [me] years of sitting.” A reporter for The Hook, weekly newspaper for Charlottesville, Virginia, who visited The Monroe Institute said, “...with a few exceptions, the only ‘normal’ people with whom I could fully identify were the trainers, who seemed remarkably well-grounded for people whose day-to-day experiences include astral projection and disembodied spirits.” The reporter also concluded that “there is something significant being developed at the Institute. Whether it’s just a brilliant guided meditation (complete with trance-inducing stereoscopic sound) or a doorway to a world of spirit entities (the spirit world), I cannot say.” – Wikipedia: The Monroe Institute (Army intelligence also carried out behavioral modification experimentation such as those experiments conducted under MKULTRA. No doubt this represented a continuation of this program. Research on binaural beats and brainwave entrainment [read: research into the phenomenon of Overshadowing] are also carried on at the Monroe Institute along the lines set forth in Gerald Oster’s Scientific American© 1973 A.D. article ‘Auditory Beats in the Brain.’ But again, to quote the Wiccan, they were intending to scientifically study known occult phenomenon while proceeding “to cut out the theology, and study the mechanism of the practical mystic” experience, a process often including the use of entheogenic psychedelic drugs. Fast forward to the 1990’s: “Dr. Rick Strassman’s experiments are also worthy of our attention. He presented them in his popular book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule. He was probably the first physician that the American government [legally and not covertly, this author feels the need to add] allowed to perform experiments with the DMT drug on volunteers [DMT-containing plants are commonly employed in South American Shamanic magic rituals]. They were performed from 1990 to 1995 at New Mexico’s School of Medicine in Albuquerque. Strassman expected the volunteers to have mystical and near-death experiences. Yet many unexpectedly reported seeing ‘beings’ who resembled extraterrestrials…” The Invisible Influences by Živorad Mihajlović-Slavinski, 2008 A.D.) (Pertinent Quote: “Author and provocateur Terence McKenna has used DMT and feels that ‘right here and now, one quanta away, there is raging a universe [the spirit world] of active intelligence that is transhuman, hyperdimensional, and extremely alien [replete with elf-like alien beings]… What is driving religious feeling today is a wish for contact with this other universe.’” – Sex, Drugs, Einstein & Elves. Terence McKenna himself has professed 972

to have had extraterrestrial contact. The ingestion of DMT [and other hallucinogens/psychedelics/entheogens in general] is said to put users Shamanically in touch with other dimensions where other forms of beings exist, therewith opening portals to parallel planets such as the spirit world]. For more information see Apparent Communication with Discarnate Entities Induced by Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) by Peter Meyer, a well seasoned psychonaut who holds psychedelics such as DMT allow access to an “alternative reality which is full of spirits—the same spirits that shamans encounter.”) California has long had an occult association, most notably exhibited by Bohemian Grove magick ceremonies. Another such example of a California-based magick society is the O.T.A. whose roots belong to this 1960s resurgence in all things occult: “The Order of the Temple of Astarte (the OTA; Astarte is the name of a goddess who represented the angel Azazel’s human wife) in Pasadena, California is a ‘hermetic’ occult organization that practices ‘Magick in the Western Tradition’ (“Much of their [the OTA’s] ritual is kabbalistic, an amalgamation of the ancient Hebrew mystic traditions, evocation of demons in the mediaeval manner, and the hermetic ideals.” – p.387 Witchcraft by Hans Holzer). The cult is led by Fraters Khenemel, a police officer, and Aleyin, a veteran Green Beret (a captain in the U.S. Army’s elite Special Forces/Intelligence group). The cult’s everyday language is unusual for a mystical order—one group schedule is laden with words (common in military parlance) like ‘operation,’ ‘sixteen-thirty hours,’ and ‘travel orders’ (no doubt they were still under government employ). Demonology (the study of demons which are fallen angels) is among the OTA’s primary occult interests. The police connection recalls the statement of Louis Tackwood, the former LAPD provocateur whose revelations of secret police subterfuge set off a political tempest in Los Angeles in 1973. “You don’t know,” he told journalist Donald Freed, “but there’s a devil worship cult in Pasadena. Actually in Altadena (an unincorporated area directly north of Pasadena).” Tackwood alleged that the cultists were ‘on the LAPD payroll.’” This reference to the “devil worship cult in Pasadena” is probably at least in part in reference to and possibly in association with the California lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis: “The Riverside Lodge of the Ordo Templis Orientis (OTO): Also known as The Solar Lodge of the OTO, which followed the teachings of cult messiah Aleister Crowley…high priest of the OTO and a British intelligence agent, gave Winifred T. Smith a charter to open an OTO lodge in Pasadena (California). The high priest of the lodge was Jack Parsons (who like Crowley claimed to be in communication with his ‘Holy Guardian Angel,’ in both cases the fallen angel Azazel), a rocket expert and founder of the California Institute of Technology (CalTech). The OTO’s Solar Lodge in San Bernardino was presided over by Georgina “Jean” (Gina) Brayton, the daughter of a ranking Air Force officer in the 1960’s.” - Psychic Dictatorship in the U.S.A. by Alex Constantine, 1995 A.D. It must also be noted 33° Scottish Rite Freemason Manly P. Hall’s Philosophical Research Society [whose main financial sponsor was Christine Lloyd whose family’s fortune had been amassed through the Dabney Oil Syndicate whose president, Joseph B. Dabney, was a trustee of the California Institute of Technology, also known as CalTech, where Jack Parsons was employed] specializing in all things occult is headquarted there in L.A. in the Hollywood Hills area (Hollywood Hills is an exclusive affluent area bounded by Laurel Canyon Boulevard to the west, Vermont Avenue to the east, Mulholland Drive [Griffith Park] to the north, and Sunset Boulevard to the south). Now back to the OTA. I went to its Yahoo Groups© posting where I was greeted with a hearty: “Welcome to the Church of the Hermetic Sciences and Ordo Templi Astarte E-Group! We are probably the oldest continually operating magickal lodge in America. We got started back in 1969 (in the same year and in the same area where the Manson murders took place), got ourselves incorporated in 1971, and began performing (pagan) Canaanite Seasonal Ceremonies on the Solstices and Equinoxes back in 1974. Our specialty is Solomonic Ritual Magick (a reference to the system of magic encapsulated in the grimoire known as The 973

Greater Key of Solomon)—we are the folks who summon spirits to visible appearance in the dark mirror (a reference to the mirror Maja of the Magi, also known as the Eternal Mirror of Wonders and the Hindu Magic Mirror; it is believed a genii/demon/spirit can be ritually entrapped within such a devise. Such a magic mirror is showcased in the California-based Rosicrucian Walt Disney’s 1937 A.D. animated classic entitled Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs where it is therein employed by the black magic-practicing evil witch Queen. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, who’s the most gullible amongst us all? Sadly, the jury is still out amongst this most crowded of fields. For more information on magic mirrors see the Rosicrucian books entitled Sex Magic and Seership as authored by Paschal Beverly Randolph). We also have a journal, The Seventh Ray (named in deference to C.W. Leadbeater who in Glimpses of Masonic History [circa 1926 A.D.] writes: “…the seventh ray is beginning to dominate the world—the ray of ceremonial magic which brings the especial cooperation of the Angelic hosts…,” and no doubt it is those of the fallen variety of which he therein speaks), which was something of an ‘underground classic’ back in the 70’s. Check it out! Our Headquarters (O.T.A. #3) for the Church and the Order is here in Silverado, California. The Church sponsors the Ordo Templi Astartes (O.T.A.) which is an initiatory order working three degrees of the ancient ‘Crata Repoa’ Tradition in our fully equipped Hermetic Temples (a reference to the Crata Repoa, subtitled ‘Initiations to the Ancient Mysteries of the Priests of Egypt.’ Initiates into the Egyptian Mysteries were subjected to tests designed to mimic the experience of Azazel and his fallen angels at the time of their descent to our Earth). We are compatible with the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn (a Hermetic Order) and the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) Traditions. Good Magick!” - Frater ELMO, 9th Degree Elven Magic User (Hal Von Hofe) (typical Dungeons and Dragons© terminology. Magic practices were introduced to the fertile minds of many adolescents of the period through this magic-based fantasy role playing game created in part by an anthropology major from the University of Chicago. With the advent of computer gaming, the ancient mystery teachings are typically incorporated within computer role playing games such as Dragon's Dogma and Final Fantasy) (See www.groups.yahoo.com/group/OTA-L). During the 1970s the OTA would unite with Zell Oberon’s Church of All Worlds and a Pasadena-based coven called Ferefaria [founded in 1967 A.D. by Frederick Adams and influenced by Robert Grave’s The White Goddess. The coven was founded following a meeting with occultist Robert Graves who had been a friend of British Intelligence agent T.E. Laurence] to form the greater Council of Themis (See p.110 The Witchcraft Report by Sybil Leek’s friend Hans Holzer who describes Pasadena circa 1973 A.D. as a “hotbed of pagan activities.”). Another occultist associated with the military/aerospace fields is Edward Fitch: “Edward ‘Ed’ Fitch (born April 29, 1937 in Roxboro, North Carolina) is an occult author and a High Priest of the Gardnerian Wicca tradition, and was a leading figure in the rise of contemporary Wicca and Neo-Paganism in America. He presently lives in Orange County, California. Fitch was a graduate of Virginia Military Institute, and a United States Air Force commissioned officer, eventually retiring with the rank of Captain (Ed Fitch has admitted to being employed in Intelligence as a courier)… he returned to the US as a civilian, and took employment as a technical writer and electronics engineer in Washington D.C. Fitch, who has also gone under the name “Ea” (a Sumerian name for Azazel) was initiated into witchcraft by Raymond Buckland (“The Father of American Wicca” who introduced his brand of Wicca into America in 1963 A.D. and who is as per his website “full-blooded Rom (Gypsy)” and who is by definition an English ‘cunning man,’ a self-styled “witch” whose goal was to have “witchcraft established…as a recognized religion.” He is the author of Buckland’s Book of Spirit Communication [as well as many other books on witchcraft and the occult] and creator of the Buckland Spirit Board [a device also known as a ‘talking board’], which brands him, by definition, a ‘Spiritualist’) in 1967, while stationed in Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. He is one of the creators (along with Joseph Bearwalker Wilson and Thomas Giles) of “The Pagan Way,” an outer court neo-Pagan tradition (one notable Pagan Way temple was located in Chicago headed by a witch named Donna Cole of whom it is said in 974

Hans Holzer’s The New Pagans “has been to England and is friendly with most of the London [witch] covens.” Hans Holzer himself is also a common link between these many seemingly unassociated groups which had in fact quite very common links, he being in contact with and participating in many of the rituals performed by numerous covens, the subject of his many books). He (Ed Fitch) was one of the editors of The Waxing Moon, a magazine founded by Joseph B. Wilson in 1964, and the first magazine devoted to Witchcraft in America (later renamed The Crystal Well). In the mid 1970s, Fitch also helped to organize and chaired two Pagan Ecumenical Councils to establish the Covenant of the Goddess (COG) as an international umbrella organization representing Pagans. Through the 1980s Fitch continued to perform as a Gardnerian (Wicca) High Priest, but his researches also led him to initiation in a number of other traditions and orders, including: Faerie faith, Mosian, the Order of Osiris (the Egyptian god Osiris represented Behemoth/Azazel), the Order of the Temple of Astarte (the OTA—devoted to a goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife) and Norse, and Ceremonial magick (code for black magic).” - Wikipedia: Ed Fitch, “…the author of several books on magic and Neo-Pagan topics.” Magic and the military are traditionally intricately bound. Do such modern occult groups act as fronts for Military Intelligence operations? And are they run by those in communication with alien fallen angels, working under their command? You make the call. But first, consider the following notable quote: “The importance of espionage in military affairs has been recognized since the beginning of recorded history. The Egyptians had a well-developed secret service, and spying and subversion are mentioned in the ‘Iliad’ and in the ‘Bible’ (See Numbers 13:17-20). The ancient Chinese treatise (c.500 B.C.) on the Art of War (see Sun Tzu) devotes much attention to deception and intelligence gathering, arguing that all war is based on deception. Whilst Sun Tzu was unknown to Niccolo Machiavelli many of his concepts found new vigour within Machiavelli’s writings (hence the term ‘Machiavellian Plot’). In the Middle Ages, political espionage became important. (The Catholic St.) Joan of Arc (the militant Witch of Domremy, a companion-in-arms of French Cabalist Gilles de Rais, a magic-practicing sodomizing murderer of children tried and executed as a witch in 1440 A.D.) was betrayed by Bishop Pierre Cauchon of Beauvais, a spy in the pay of the English, and Sir Francis Walsingham developed an efficient political spy system for Elizabeth I (See also Francis Walsingham’s acolytes Christopher Marlowe and Francis Bacon [both were well known practitioners of magic, and he and other members of the powerful Bacon family including Francis’ brother Anthony Bacon would serve as British spies as well. Indeed, Francis Walsingham was known to have commonly employed various witches as spies (this likely being the true reason many witches were put to death during the days of the Inquisition). The ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee who had likewise worked as a spy was an official in the court of Queen Elizabeth I]). With the growth of the modern national state, systematized espionage became a fundamental part of government in most countries. Joseph Fouché [Minister of Police under Napoleon Bonaparte] is credited with developing the first modern political espionage system, and Frederick II of Prussia [a major supporter of the magic arts] is regarded as the founder of modern military espionage. During the American Revolution, Nathan Hale and Benedict Arnold [both high-degree Freemasons of the magic-practicing degrees] achieved fame as spies [as members of high-degree Freemason George Washington’s own quite extensive network of spies organized as The Secret Committee and The Committee of Secret Correspondence as created by order of the Second Continental Congress in 1775 A.D. (See the CIA’s Intelligence in the War of Independence)], and there was considerable use of spies on both sides during the U.S. Civil War [most famously exemplified by the Freemason Allan Pinkerton, founder of the Pinkerton Detective Agency who served as the Union Army’s Intelligence Service chief under the Spiritualist president Abraham Lincoln whose forebare General Benjamin Lincoln had served as an officer in George Washington’s Continental Army]; though it was not until the Second World War that the USA convincingly took to espionage [with its creation of the OSS during WWII. It and its Intelligence agency successor the CIA in keeping with tradition made/make extensive covert use of practitioners of magic, MKULTRA being a quite notable 975

example].” – Scratch a Magus, Find a Spy by Iona Miller). Ed Fitch has himself experienced a close encounter with a UFO. The Encyclopedia of Witches, Witchcraft and Wicca describes how: “At age nine, he and his father sighted a UFO over their ranch in northern California. Fitch remembers that a circular object about 50 feet in diameter…rose up from a nearby mountain and cruised silently over the ranch.” Pasadena, it must be mentioned, was the location of Jet Propulsion Laboratory with its infamous occult connections: “Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a federally funded research and development center and NASA field center located in the San Gabriel Valley area of Los Angeles County, California, United States. The facility is headquartered in the city of Pasadena on the border of La Cañada Flintridge and Pasadena. JPL is managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).” – Wikipedia: Jet Propulsion Laboratory. JPL employees, including the magic-practicing adept alchemist Jack Parsons who was working with the Von Braun group of Nazi rocket scientists, would be expected to populate this area: “Flying saucer mythology took hold in a big way in the 1950s, wrapped in gaudy pulp covers and flashed on movie screens. Jack Parsons, the CalTech rocket pioneer and high priest of the OTO’s Agape Lodge in Pasadena—and one of the first Americans to report a UFO sighting (he claims to have had a face to face encounter with an alien being in 1946 A.D.)—was addicted to science fiction (interestingly enough, many science fiction stories contain elements of magic and witchcraft, and incidentally enough, many science fiction writers were members of Anton LaVey’s Order of the Trapezoid [established 1955 A.D.] during the 1950s. Members of the Order of the Trapezoid [also known as The Magic Circle] would later serve as the governing body of Anton LaVey’s later creation, the Church of Satan [See The Church of Satan: A Brief History by Blanche Barton, 2003 A.D.]. Parsons regularly attended meetings of the L.A. Fantasy and Science Fiction Society [established 1934 A.D.; sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury joined in 1937 A.D. Aldous Huxley, who also wrote science fiction, was a friend of Ray Bradbury. Ray Bradbury also has served as a member of the Advisory Council of The Planetary Society devoted in part to the search for extraterrestrial life/alien civilizations], where in 1945 the black [magick] adept (he [Jack Parsons] took "the Oath of the Anti-Christ" in 1949) met Lt. Commander L. Ron Hubbard [who took part in a number of magic rituals with Jack Parsons himself; L. Ron Hubbard, a member of Navy Intelligence, had in fact claimed he was working at that time in an official Intelligence capacity], who made "alien" visitations an integral part of a religious doctrine he called Scientology. The OTO was founded between 1895 and 1900 by a pair of powerful Freemasons, Karl Kellner and Theodor Reuss. Politically, the order was right-wing in the extreme, proposing the creation of a pan-German world based on pagan spiritual beliefs. Kellner died in 1905, and Reuss, a former spy for the Prussian Secret Service, assumed the office of high caliph. While living in London, Reuss spied on German socialist expatriates. In 1912 he made the acquaintance of Aleister Crowley (a known British spy who was quite likely a German double agent in an entirely Illuminati sense), and appointed him head of the OTO’s British chapter…The OTO was typical of the proto-Nazi occult movement that captivated the young Adolph Hitler, Rudolph Hess and other leaders of the emerging National Socialist Workers Party, itself a spin-off of Germany’s Thule Gesellcheft, an Aryan occult society…In 1938, Crowley boasted proudly to novelist Aldous Huxley that his OTO had contributed to Hitler’s political fortunes.” – The OTO and the CIA: Ordis Templis Intelligentis by Alex Constantine). (“Parsons’ Jet Propulsion Laboratories [established 1944 A.D.] grew out of the Harry Guggenheim-funded, Guggenheim Aronautical Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology (GALCIT) [many of the magic practitioners in our story were receivers of such Guggenheim grants/awards (many are as well winners of Nobel Prizes which is also a common thread). Family patron Meyer Guggenheim was of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry (Ashkenazim, by definition Jews descended from the medieaval Jewish communities situated along the Rhine River in Germany), which as a group were well-known propounders of Rabinic Judaism, of Kabala, also known as Jewish witchcraft (Hasidic Jews are schooled in Kabala and Hebrew mystics are known as Hasidim). One famous example of a magic976

practicing Ashkenazi Jew from the aforementioned mediaeval period was ceremonial magician Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. Every Prime Minister in the history of Israel has been of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. As Gideon Levy lamented concerning the makeup of Israeli society circa 2010 A.D.: “Our [Israel’s] entire political, economic, legal, academic and even military leadership is made up of Ashkenazim…” - Haaretz©: The most Ashkenazi elite of them all. In Israel, magic rules the roost. According to Michael A. Hoffmann II: “GALCIT had been run by the ‘Hungarian-Jewish scientist Professor Theodore von Karman [von Karman along with Jack Parsons and Julian Huxley-associate Frank Malina founded a company called Aerojet General in 1936 A.D. Aerojet is most famously known for producing solid-fuel rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle program], who claimed to be a direct descendant of [Kabalist] Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezazel of Prague (ca. 1520-1609) (Prague at the time was the capital of the Holy Roman Empire [whose ruler from 1440 A.D. onward was the head of the House of Habsburg], being traditionally a protector of Kabalists including Rabbi Loew [said to be of the line of King David through a family of Jewish Babylonian exiles (See Avotaynu©: The Maharal of Prague's Descent from King David by Chaim Freedman, Spring 2006)]. At the demise of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 A.D., Prague would be included within the Kingdom of Bavaria, home to the Bavarian Illuminati. Much of the works of Swiss alchemist/physician Paracelsus had been published by his followers in Prague during the 1560s and the 1570s, followers including famous Bavarian father/son team of alchemist/physicians, Martin Ruland the Elder and Younger, the father being a disciple of Paracelsus the son himself being a member of Habsburg Holy Roman emperor Rudolph II’s mystical retinue in Prague [“Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague, an associate of John Dee…was also an adviser to the Rosicrucian occultist Rudolph II, Emperor of Bohemia, whose protection he enjoyed.” – p.104 Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare by Michael A. Hoffman II]. Martin Ruland the Younger’s alchemical tract The Lexicon of Alchemy published in 1612 A.D. would be translated into English by A.E. Waite and is often cited in Swiss psychologist/OSS spy Carl Jung’s own alchemical works. Of an interesting note, Kabbalist Samuel ben Moses Haida’s Seder Elihu Zuta published in Prague in 1677 A.D. explains that Azazel and his angels: “…descended to earth, lusted after the daughters of man, led them to sin and taught them witchcraft…”). Von Karman himself was a close

associate of US Army General H. ‘Hap’ Arnold [‘Hap’ Arnold at this point in time was a U.S. Army Air Corp General. Arnold personally procured grant money for Parsons, Malina and von Karman in support of their work in the fledgling field of rocketry/JATO (jet assisted take-off) at CalTech—Hap Arnold would work with von Karmen for many years after WWII. As related in Barefaced Messiah, Jack Parsons magical partner L. Ron Hubbard had during WWII served with the rank of captain in the U.S. Army Air Corps which was at that time under the command of General Hap Arnold, and at wars end Hubbard himself would join Jack Parsons’ magic group in Pasadena] and an advisor to

[Oddfellow-member and U.S. President] Franklin Roosevelt (Note well this Jack Parsons/OTO connection to FDR). Rabbi Loew (an Ashkenazi Jewish Kabbalist) was in turn the tutor of Dr. John Dee (who had served as personal consultant to Queen Elizabeth I), producer of the Enochian (magic) system. Rabbi Loew is most famous, however, for the legend he succeeded in creating artificial life, the Kabbalistic entity known as the Golem (“The instructions for making a Golem are contained in the Sepher Yetzirah”)…” – Blood on the Altar by Craig Heimbichner, 2005 A.D. Von Karman, of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry was himself also well versed in Kabala, and CalTech in essence was by definition an ultramodern ‘school of magic’) (The story of Jack Parsons’ Agape Lodge No. 2 runs through the very streets of OSS Captain Al Hubbard’s old haunt in Vancouver, Canada. It was in Vancouver where Charles Stansfeld Jones: “...sought from [Aleister] Crowley the authority to begin O.T.O. initiatory work in Canada. The result was the first operation of the Mysteria Mystica Maxima degrees in North America, and the founding 977

of British Columbia Lodge #1, where the original founders of Agape Lodge were first initiated... Jones became Grand Treasurer General after Crowley removed (Sir) George MacNie Cowie (VIII) from the post in 1918... Jones was eventually made Grand Master (X°) for North America by Theodor Reuss.” – Wikipedia: Charles Stansfeld Jones. It was this Canadian Lodge of the O.T.O. which would eventually give birth to Jack Parsons’ O.T.O. Agape Lodge #2 in Pasadena, CA. It is also where we encounter Wilfred T. Smith who: “...began his magical career in Vancouver under Frater Achad (Charles Stansfeld Jones), who was at the time head of the O.T.O for Canada and North America. (Aleister) Crowley first met Smith in Vancouver (Canada) in 1915. As a result of the meeting Smith was given permission to establish a Lodge of the Order (OTO Agape Lodge #1) at Winona Boulevard (in Hollywood, CA). This he did, together with a Sister of the Order (an OTO High-Priestess, a German opera singer) named Regina Kahl (Jack Parsons and his wife Helen were initiated into this Lodge in 1941 A.D. where Parsons had attended a number of OTO functions along with his friend Grady McMurtry for two years prior to his initiation. Film actress Jane Wolfe [she has appeared in over 100 Hollywood films], who gave up her Hollywood career to personally study magic under Aleister Crowley at his Abbey of Thelema, was lodge master in this Hollywood OTO lodge). Some time later he (Parsons) moved to 1003 South Orange Grove Avenue (which was Jack Parson’s mansion home which he rented out as a communal residence for members of the magic lodge)—Pasadena, California—the place which eventually became the headquarters of the O.T.O. in America (OTO Agape Lodge #2). It was there that Smith seduced Helen Parsons (neѐ Northrup), the wife of a promising young scientist named John W. (Jack) Parsons who was known in the Order as Frater 210 (originally from Chicago, Helen’s family’s decision to move to Pasadena was made via Ouiji board [See p.85 Strange Angel]. Making important family decisions based on consultations with spirits via Ouija board is a common Spiritualist practice). Smith had a (magical) child by Helen...because of this Parsons directed his affection to Helen’s younger sister, Betty, who became his mistress and magical partner in the ceremonies of Agape Lodge.” – The Magickal Revival by Kenneth Grant (Even Helen Parsons’ sister: “Sara Northrup [the daughter of a Standard Oil Company employee] was a major figure in the Pasadena branch of the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO), a society founded by the English occultist Aleister Crowley. From 1941 to 1945 she had a turbulent relationship with John Whiteside [Jack] Parsons, the head of the Pasadena OTO, who was married to her sister Helen. Although she was a committed member of the OTO, to whom she was known as "Soror [Sister] Cassap," she acquired a reputation for disruptiveness that prompted [Aleister] Crowley to denounce her as a "vampire." She began a relationship with L. Ron Hubbard [they would have a child named Alexis Valerie], whom she met through the OTO, in 1945… Sara played a significant role in the development of Dianetics, Hubbard’s "modern science of mental health," between 1948 and 1951, during which time she was Hubbard’s personal auditor and one of the seven members of the Dianetics Foundation’s Board of Directors, alongside Hubbard himself.” – Wikipedia: Sara Northrup Hollister). Recall that American OSS Captain Al Hubbard had been illicitly involved in the transfer of arms to British military forces prior to America’s entry into World War II and that the Outer Head of the O.T.O. Aleister Crowley’s right-hand man was none other than the premier British military strategist of his time, Major-General John Frederick Charles Fuller. No doubt a connection exists here. Not a few of the players involved in our story you will find were US/British Merchant Marinemen involved in illicit Lend-Lease arms transfers to Britain, another common thread being Navy Intelligence personnel which one might assume would have taken charge of such super-secretive naval activities. In fact, Navy Intelligence had carried out Operation Paperclip which had spirited German Nazi scientists out of a defeated Nazi Germany at the end of World War II, scientists including Warner von Braun with whom Jack Parsons had carried out a lively correspondence prior to the onset of war and with whom he worked thereafter. Navy Intelligence was also involved in atomic bomb nuclear tests under Manhattan Project auspices during Operation Crossroads. Most of the physicists working on 978

this super-secretive Manhattan Project as well as certain Navy Intelligence personnel (amongst whom was L. Ron Hubbard) who resided at Jack Parsons OTO communal lodge were working towards the development of this first atomic bomb and were involved in secret atomic bomb tests such as those conducted under Operation Crossroads which in fact included those tests carried out at Bikini Atoll (that Jack Parson’s OTO Agape Lodge #2 was itself an official if not duly recognized government war-time operation is borne out by the fact this commune was dissolved and its occupants were dispersed in 1946 A.D. at the conclusion of the war, at which point Parsons relocates for a time to Manhattan Beach, CA. The Beach Boys band members surfed along this city’s beaches and it would be there in Manhattan Beach where Charles Manson would meet Manson Family-member and co-convicted murderer Patricia Krenwinkel). Even the aforementioned US Air Force [and former Army Air Corps] General ‘Hap’ Arnold assisted in the procurement of ships used in the Operation Crossroads atomic bomb tests (See Operation Crossroads: The Atomic Tests at Bikini Atoll) which attests to his own involvement in this super-secretive project. This hodge-podge group of magicians and alchemists (physics as we know it today is in fact derived in part from the alchemical practices of old) head-quartered in Pasadena, CA played an important role in the development of the atomic bomb (Pertinent Quote: “Alchemy is a total science of energy transformation… the creating of energy from matter is alchemy… The explosion of a nuclear bomb is alchemy. The scientist is now an alchemist.” – Introduction to The Mystery of the Cathedrals). J. Robert Oppenheimer himself quoted the Bhagavad Gita at the time of the Trinity (which no doubt derives its name from Trinity College of the the University of Cambridge, a bastion of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a Hermetic Order of magic-practicing alchemists) atomic bomb test (conducted along the 33° latitude, the Trinity explosion was the most significant advent in the history of ‘natural magic.’ Head of the Manhattan Project was Major General Leslie Groves, a descendent a French Huguenots, a group known for delving into Cabalistic magic practices) boasting: “I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds” (it is said Jack Parson’s Babylon Working magic ritual was devised by Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard and Manhattan Project scientists [a number of whom resided in Jack Parsons’ home which doubled as an OTO magic lodge] from the Los Alamos National Laboratory which was headed by J. Robert Oppenheimmer). These atomic bomb tests were filmed by the Air Force’s 1352nd Motion Picture Squadron headquartered at the super-secretive Lookout Mountain Laboratory in Laurel Canyon in the Hollywood Hills area—more on this subject later though a few words must be said concerning Hollywood’s historic armed forces partnership. Washington, D.C. broadly partnered with Hollywood during World War II. There even existed: “…a Bureau of Motion Pictures, a subdivision of the Office of War Information (OWI),** which was assigned to make every Hollywood producer keep in mind one basic question: ‘Will this picture help win the war?’ … during the war…the authorities not only provided valuable military services to moviemakers (used in the production of war propaganda films), but also felt entitled to request civilian support of the war effort…” – p.210,233 City of Nets by Otto Friedrich (** One important figure central to our story who worked for OWI, the Office of War Information [he served as Assistant Chief in his division] during WWII was the Harvard-educated/Guggenheim Award winning American poet Charles Olson. Charles Olson provides the link between poets Ezra Pound [Pound was a friend of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn grand master W.B. Yeats, himself a close associate of Aleister Crowley], William Carlos Williams [William Carlos Williams was a ‘close’ associate of Allen Dulles’ counterintelligence czar James Angleton] and the group of so-called New American poets, a blanket term encompassing those elements associated with the CIA-associated New School of Social Research [which grouping includes dancers, artists, poets and musicians], the Black Mountain School [Charles Olson would serve as rector of the Black Mountain College from 1951 – 1956 A.D. where he worked with John Cage, Robert Creeley, Robert Duncan, Ed 979

Dorn, Stan Brakhage and Fielding Dawson who would later teach at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa Institute] and the San Franciscan Renaissance including many of the Beat poets themselves [including the William Carlos Williams-mentored Beatnik poet Allen Ginsberg, Robert Duncan, Paul Blackburn (an army veteran/1967 A.D. Guggenheim Fellowship Award winner who taught at The New School for Social Research) and Denise Levertov, one-time poetry editor for The Nation]). Hollywood also helped sell War Bonds and produced recruitment and training films for the United States armed forces and created patriotic war propaganda films, and many actors and actresses if not donning armed forces uniforms themselves were actively involved in the entertainment of troops.** The armed forces for its part provided a large captured audience for cheaply made Hollywood films. It was Jack Parson’s benefactor General ‘Hap’ Arnold who created the Army Air Force’s 1st Motion Picture Unit: “The First Motion Picture Unit (FMPU), officially designated the 18th Army Air Force Base Unit, was the primary film production unit of the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II, and was unique in that it was the first military unit made up entirely of professionals from the film industry. It created more than 400 films, which were notable for being informative as well as entertaining…The unit not only produced training films, but trained combat cameramen…When the United States entered World War II in December of 1941, the USAAF was a part of the Army, and motion picture production was the responsibility of the Army Signal Corp (many of whom in the post WWII period would go on to become Hollywood producers/cinematographers). USAAF Commanding General "Hap" Arnold (prior to the establishment of an independent air service, the U.S. Air Force during WWI was attached to the Aviation Section of the U.S. Army Signal Corps in which service Arnold [taught to fly by the Wright Brothers, creators of the first successful airplane (See Arnold’s biography Global Mission, 1949 A.D.)] held the rank of colonel. At wars end it would become a semi-independent U.S. Army Air Service, and later renamed the U.S. Army Air Force, which Arnold commanded as a four star general. In the post-WWII period the U.S. Army Air Force was granted an independent aviation service over which Arnold with a five-star rank served as first general of the U.S. Air Force) believed that the formation of an independent film entity would help lead to the air service gaining its independence. At a meeting in March, 1942, General Arnold commissioned Warner Bro. head Jack Warner (a Freemason), producer Hal Wallis and scriptwriter Owen Crump to create the unit (as a matter of note, 763 Warner Bros.© employees served in the armed forces during WWII including Jack Warner’s son Jack Warner Jr. and Harry Warner’s son-in-law Milton Sperling).” – Wikipedia: First Motion Picture Unit. Members of this unit (including directors John Huston who served as a Major, John Ford, Frank Capra and Hal Roach, Sr., owner of Hal Roach Studios in Culver City) were FBI vetted and worked on highly classified top secret projects (actor/U.S. President Ronald Reagan, a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Force, also served with the First Motion Picture Unit and later as an FBI informant. The Warner Brothers Television head from the 1950s to the 1970s, William T. Orr, had served in the First Motion Picture Unit during WWII as well). Jewish film executive Jack Warner, head of the Warner Brothers© film studio [which studio employed Hollywood Hellfire Club Bundy Drive Boy John Barrymore whose actor friend John Carradine was a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO lodge as a long-term contract actor] grew up in Youngstown, Ohio which was as he reveals in his autobiography: “…a gathering place for Sicilian thugs active in the Mafia.” Jack Warner had even befriended mobster Bugsy Siegel upon Siegel’s arrival in Hollywood to whom he was introduced by Bugsy Siegel’s Hell’s Kitchen boyhood pal and Warner Bros.© contract actor George Raft who as we learn from p.80 City of Nets: “…remained a lifelong friend of various Hell’s Kitchen [Mafia] gangsters…” (Interestingly enough Lee Strasburg’s Actors Studio workshop, many of whose attendees would go on to become Warner Bros.© actors and actresses, is located there in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood: “The Actors Studio is a membership 980

organization of professional actors, theatre directors and playwrights in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood [due to its proximity to Broadway theaters] of Manhattan in New York City.” – Wikipedia. The Time Warner [parent company of Warner Bros.©] building itself lies on the northern border of Hell’s Kitchen. It also lies in close proximity to the Financial District in Manhattan [as well as the New York Stock Exchange situated near the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway and the New York Fedral Reserve Bank building at 33 Liberty Street], home of the twin towers of the World Trade Center [built on Rockefeller land and owned by the Port Authority of New York] before its untimely tragic demise, and close to the site of the first U.S. Capitol where George Washington was inaugerated as the first U.S. President [located at the corner of Wall Street and Nassau Street]. The Greenwich Village section of Manhattan is the maleficent home of NYU [a university founded by the Carbonari-connected high-degree Freemason Albert Pike’s friend Gallatin Mackey which has extensive Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Fabian Society associations. It was there in Greenwich Village (the eastern border of which is Broadway) where British spy Aleister Crowley had established his first American-based OTO magic lodge upon his arrival in America] and the CIA-associated New School of Social Research [the New Schoolassociated Columbia University lies close nearby in Manhattan as well, as had Carbonari Young America Youth Movement-leader Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune (amongst whose employees was H.S. Olcott who along with H.P. Blavatsky would found the Thesophical Society here in New York City in 1875 A.D.), as does the Algonquin Hotel (which hosted the Intelligence-connected Algonquin Round Table group) which itself had neighbored upon both the Yale Club and the Harvard Club [of which President Franklin D. Roosevelt was a member], private clubs whose membership rolls were strictly restricted to Yale and Harvard attendees, the Rockefeller Center (where the OSS, headed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s friend William J. “Wild Bill” Donovan, was created and headquartered) and the United Nations building itself. Andy Warhol’s Factory was also located there in Manhattan as was the OTO-infested Hotel Chelsea]. Manhattan’s famous stretch of Broadway theaters is located close to New York City’s Times Square named for the Churchill-family owned New York Times newspaper [where worked so many of Aleister Crowley’s journalist friends] which operated nearby [The New York Times was a member of the Rothschild-owned Associated Press (AP) founded in 1846 A.D. by Moses Yale Beach (a descendent of Elihu Yale from whom Yale University receives its name) which beginning in 1938 A.D. was headquartered at the Rockefeller Center], one of which is the famed Walt Disney©-operated [since 1993 A.D.] New Amsterdam Theatre, former home of the Ziegfeld Follies and Eva Le Gallienne’s Civic Reporatory Theater [Eva Le Gallienne being a member (alongside Hollywood Hellfire Clubmember John Barrymore; Ziegfeld Follies star W.C. Fields was a member of the Hollywood Hellfire Club as well) of the Algonquin Round Table famous for her lesbian relationships with Tallulah Bankhead and Salome-star Alla Nazimova (significantly enough, she plays Tyrone Power’s mother in the 1941 A.D. film Blood and Sand alongside John Barrymore’s ubiquitous Greenwich Village-born friend John Carradine (son of AP news correspondent William Reed Carradine), a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge]). Bugsy Siegel, who was also a boyhood friend to Al Capone, had ties to Genovese crime family mobsters Charles ‘Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Vito Genovese and Joey Adonis (Rat Pack-members Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. [musicians Sammy Davis, Jr. and Stephen Stills recorded on the Roulette Records label (a catalogue now owned by the Warner Music Group©) of longtime Genovese mob family associate/music industry powerhouse Morris Levy] were all known mob associates of members of the Genovese crime family* also headquartered in Manhattan [*including mobster Joseph Pagano, a close friend of Warner Bros.© actor Rodney Dangerfield. Rodney Dangerfield would go on to play ‘Lucifer’ in the 2000 A.D. Adam Sandler film, Little Nickey]. It was the Genovese crime family which lorded over the Manhattan burrough of Greenwich Village, one head of the Greenwich Village crew being Vincent Gigante, a former heavyweight boxer/associate of boxing promoter Don King and the Reverend Al Sharpton [whose close associates included James Brown and Michael Jackson 981

(Al Sharpton’s political associations including U.S. Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama [for whom Sharpton has served as a trusted presidential advisor])], a mob associate turned FBI informant whose FBI cooperation resulted in the arrest and prosecution of numerous Genovese mob family convictions [See The Smoking Gun© article Al Sharpton’s Secret Work as FBI Informant, 2014 A.D.]). (**Many film industry personalities additionally served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps’ Army Pictorial Service [serving amongst others the Army Air Corp itself] which produced Army training and indoctrination films at Kaufman Astoria Studios*** in New York City [in Queens on Long Island] from 1942 – 1971A.D. [***founded in 1920 A.D. by the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation (owners of Paramount Pictures the start-up funds for which was provided by Robert Lehman of Lehman Brothers. In 1967 A.D., Paramount would purchase Desilu Studios [and with it the Star Trek rights] renaming it Paramount Television) which employed entertainers including Joseph P. Kennedy’s (whose son-in-law Peter Lawford was a member of the Rat Pack) girlfriend Gloria Swanson (who appears in no small number of films with Astor family vaudeville/Hollywood actress Gertrude Astor [Gertrude Astor makes film appearances in various films produced by First Motion Picture Unit officers/directors Frank Capra and John Ford] and Mary Pickford, a good friend of Aleister Crowley’s magic initiate Jane Wolfe (note well this Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr./Aleister Crowley association). Jane Wolfe had belonged to the same OTO magic lodge as had Jack Parsons, Parsons own financial benefactor in his early rocket experiments being First Motion Picture Unit commanding officer General ‘Hap’ Arnold]. Other entertainers contributed to the war effort by entertaining the troops in an effort to boost the Army’s morale. The foremost Hollywood entity in this endeavor was the William Morris Agency talent agency: “The (William) Morris Agency’s contribution to the Allied World War II effort was as showbiz-oriented as anything it had ever done. Abe Lastfogel (the William Morris Agency’s president) organized USO shows (all U.S.O. activity being under the aegis of the National Security Agency [the NSA of which Church of Satan high priest Michael A. Aquino was a member (during the President Ronald Reagan presidential administration. The NSA works closely with the president providing him daily intelligence reports)] and the Department of Defense) featuring more than 7,000 entertainers, including such luminaries as Bing Crosby, Dinah Shore, Marlene Dietrich, James Stewart, Clark Gable (Gable also served with the First Motion Picture Unit during WWII, as did his friend, Hollywood stunt pilot Paul Mantz), and (Rat Pack-member) Humphrey Bogart… In the postwar era Morris’s roster included Mickey Rooney, Laurence Olivier, Danny Kaye, Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, and Rita Hayworth. The agency also discovered and launched Marilyn Monroe’s steamy career. Morris merged with the Berg-Allenberg Agency (whose co-owner Bert Allenberg was Rat Pack-member Frank Sinatra’s talent agent) in 1949, bringing in such Hollywood luminaries as Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Frank Capra, Edward G. Robinson, and Robert Mitchum. It also branched into television during this period… When Bill Morris, Jr. retired from the agency in 1952, Abe Lastfogel became de facto head of William Morris. During the decade, the group represented Elvis Presley and revived Frank Sinatra’s career [both of whom were friends of Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis, Jr., a member of the Rat Pack]. The agency also sparked the quiz show craze with the 1955 launch of ‘The $64,000 Question.’ Other agents booked comedy and variety acts to the nightclubs and casinos springing up in Las Vegas. These venues continued to serve as ‘feeders’ to the film and television operations, fleshing out new talent and molding it into the next generation of movie and TV stars. Film stars of the 1960s on the Morris roster included Anne Bancroft [who studied under Lee Strasberg], Carol Channing, Katharine Hepburn, Jack Lemmon, Sophia Loren [one of Charlie Chaplin’s leading ladies], Walter Matthau, Kim Novak [a known attendee of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan], Natalie Wood, Spencer Tracy, Gregory Peck, and Barbra Streisand. The agency also expanded into the music industry during this time, representing such diverse acts as folk artists Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, British rockers the Rolling Stones, Motown divas the Supremes, and teen idols The Beach Boys.” - Encyclopedia.com: William Morris Agency [For more information see The Agency: William Morris and the Hidden History of 982

Show Business by Frank Rose, 1995 A.D.]. The William Morris Agency supplied a whole lot of talent to the Warner Bros. network) It was Warner Bros.© which brought to the screen A Midsummer Night's Dream (it premiered at Warner’s Hollywood Theatre in New York City in 1935 A.D.) in which film Jack Parson’s neighbor/Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger claims to have appeared (this movie also marked the film debut of Gone with the Wind star Olivia de Havilland; she and her sister the actress Joan Fontaine were related to British aviation engineer Sir Geoffrey de Havilland of The de Havilland Aircraft Company, a major supplier of aircraft to the British RAF which partnered with the Army Air Force during WWII), and in 1963 A.D. Jack Warner notably enough purchased the mafia-associated entertainer Frank Sinatra’s Reprise Records© which record company released songs recorded by Frank Sinatra, his daughter Nancy Sinatra as well as those songs recorded by fellow Rat Pack-ers Dean Martin (as author John L. Smith in The Animal in Hollywood reveals, Dean Martin, who had worked as a croupier in a speakeasy and driven liquor-laden trucks during Prohibition for the mob, had been a longtime friend of mobster Johnny Roselli—Roselli served as Chicago mobster Sam Giancana’s Los Angeles lieutenant) and Church of Satan-member Sammy Davis, Jr., Bing Crosby, folk artist Joni Mitchell (Joni Mitchell lived on Lookout Mountain Ave. in Laurel Canyon during the 1960s, home to the Air Force’s 1352nd Motion Picture Squadron headquartered at the aforementioned super-secretive Lookout Mountain Laboratory in Laurel Canyon in the Hollywood Hills area), Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa (Zappa, who also resided on Lookout Mountain Ave. in Laurel Canyon during the ’60s, was a friend of Manson Familymember/Church of Satan attendee Bobby Beausoleil who was also a friend of Church of Satan-member Kenneth Anger), Eric Clapton, Gram Parsons, Neil Young (as Neil Young states in his autobiography, Charles Manson, with whom he was personally acquainted, had once been rejected for a record contract by Warner Bros./Reprise Records©) and The Beach Boys (Beach Boys band-member Dennis Wilson played host in his home to a number of Manson Family-members including Charlie Manson himself). Warner Bros. Records© was the record label of professed Satanist Ozzie Osbourne’s band Black Sabbath as well as Owsley Stanley’s own creation, The Grateful Dead. It was Warner Bros.© who also released the Harry Potter© magic-themed series of films as well as Louise “The Official Witch of Los Angeles County” Huebner’s Seduction through Witchcraft [1969 A.D.] album consisting of spoken spells and magic incantations. Actors/actresses within our saga who have appeared in Warner Bros.© films include future U.S. President Ronald Reagan (a Warner Bros.© contract actor who also served in ‘Hap’ Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit [See p.129 City of Nets], where he had attained the rank of captain, and eventually, Supreme Commander of all U.S. forces as President of the United States), Errol Flynn and Vivien Leigh (Vivien Leigh was a one-time wife of Laurence Olivier, the two often dining with British P.M. Winston Churchill. As we learn from Lord Larry: The Secret Life of Laurence Olivier, Laurence Olivier was an MI5 agent recruited by filmmaker Alex Korda on orders issued by Winston Churchill. Such dinners were often conducted to exchange information and orders). Church of Satan high priestess/actress Jayne Mansfield got her start in movies as a Warner Bros.© contract actress and actor Dennis Hopper (whose father had been a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge) also was under contract with Warner Bros.©. Terry Melcher’s mother, Doris Day, had also been a contract actress with Warner Bros.© and her son Terry Melcher himself worked for Warner Bros./Reprise Records. Doris Day herself was associated with British spy Gerald Heard’s friend Christopher Isherwood [Isherwood, a known associate of British spy Aleister Crowley, notably enough penned a number of Warner Bros.© screenplays in collaboration with the consummate Brit Aldous Huxley who has himself professed to having met Aleister Crowley over dinner. Author Ayne Rand, whose philosophies Kenneth Anger’s friend Anton LaVey openly promulgated (LaVey once called the teachings of his Church of Satan the philosophy of “Ayne Rand with trappings”), also worked as a Hollywood screenwriter at one point in her literary career (she sold the movie rights to her novel The Fountainhead to Warner Bros.© for 983

which film she would even write the screenplay; Ayne Rand had also worked at RKO and as a screenwriter for Hal Wallis Productions [Hal B. Wallis had personally worked under General "Hap" Arnold in the Army Air Force. General "Hap" Arnold had himself provided funding for Jack Parsons rocket projects]. After Hal B. Wallis left Warner Bros.© to form his own film production company, he produced Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis comedies and nine Elvis Presley movies (one of the Hal Wallis-produced films was the 1954 A.D. movie, Secret of the Incas, one of the actresses in which was exotic dancer/singer Yma Sumac, reputedly an Inca princess directly descended from the last Incan emperor Atahualpa for whom the famous Dr. Israel Regardie-mentored witch, Lady Sara, served as “life-long secretary” (Israel Regardie you will recall served as Aleister Crowley’s own personal secretary). Yma Sumac was a Capitol Records© contractee, the record label which also released songs by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Judy Garland, The Kingston Trio and The Beatles. Capitol Records© also served as the American distributor for various Beach Boys releases). Hal B. Wallis also produced Anne of the Thousand Days (1969 A.D.) co-starring former RAF pilot-turned-actor Richard Burton [Burton was a one-time Switzerland resident with Oxford University associations and friend to British spy Laurence Olivier—Olivier’s uncle was a Fabian Society member whose membership ranks were composed of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Stella Matutina members]. Richard Burton had been a member of the same Samson De Brier magic group of which Jack Parsons, Anton LaVey and Kenneth Anger were members). Ray Bradbury (a friend of Aldous Huxley and a regular attendee along with Jack Parsons of the L.A. Fantasy and Science Fiction Society [Warner Bros.© actor John Barrymore was a friend of actor John Carradine who was a member of Jack parson’s OTO lodge]. Ray Bradbury was a fixture at the Sampson De Brier magic gatherings in which Anton LaVey also took part as well) also worked as a Warner Bros. screenwriter (including Moby Dick [1956 A.D.] with John Huston, a former Intelligence officer in ‘Hap’ Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit. The son of another member of ‘Hap’ Arnold’s Army Air Force, Andrew Loog Oldham [his father Andrew Loog was killed during WWII], would serve as a record producer associated with The Rolling Stones who also worked in various capacities with The Beatles, Jimmy Page, the Warhol Superstar Nico [Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan (a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith who once attended the same OTO lodge as Jack Parsons) were performing artists associated with Andy Warhol’s Factory: “The Factory became a meeting place of artists and musicians such as (Velvet Underground band-member) Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, and (Rolling Stones band-member) Mick Jagger, as well as writer Truman Capote. Less frequent visitors included Salvador Dalí and Allen Ginsberg. Warhol collaborated with Reed's influential New York rock band The Velvet Underground in 1965 (Warhol would serve as the group’s manager), and designed the noted cover for The Velvet Underground & Nico, the band's debut album… Warhol also designed the album cover for The Rolling Stones' album Sticky Fingers.” – Wikipedia: The Factory] and Bob Dylan [Bob Dylan being a friend of OTO-member Harry Smith, a one-time member of the same OTO magic lodge attended by Jack Parsons]. Andrew Loog Oldham was also a fixture of the Swinging London/Carnaby Street fashion scene). Warner Bros.© also owned DC Comics© the most famous of whose comic book characters included Superman© and that black-coped crusader, Batman©. (Jay Sebring, a member of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan who was later murdered by members of the Manson Family, was himself a hairstylist for T.V.’s Batman [1966 – 1968 A.D.] Adam West, itself a television series inspired by the comic book character of the same name and duly licensed by Warner Bros.©). In 1966 A.D. the entire Warner Bros.© group was bought out by and merged with Seven Arts Productions in partnership with Hammer Films©, a ‘front’ operation for associated British/American Intelligence agencies (note this continuing alliance between American Intelligence agencies and the Mafia as well. One Warner Bros.© actress, Patricia Neal [who appears in a number of Warner Bros.© films with her one-time boyfriend Ronald Reagan, a member of ‘Hap’ Arnold’s U.S. Army Air Force who served with the First Motion Picture Unit], was married from 1953 – 1983 A.D. to British Intelligence agent Roald Dahl, an RAF officer who had served alongside British spy Ian Fleming in Winston 984

Churchill’s SOE during WWII. Ian Fleming was British spy Aleister Crowley’s case officer (it was the U.S. Ambassador to London Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. who worked with British P.M. Winston Churchill who had once owned RKO before selling it to Howard Hughes. Beginning in 1966 A.D. with his purchase of the landmark Sands Hotel and Casino [where John F. Kennedy is known to have stayed as a guest of his friend Frank Sinatra], Howard Hughes had bought up numerous mob-owned/Rat Pack-associated Las Vegas Hotels/Casinos prior to his own mysterious death by drug overdose in 1975 A.D.). Actor Cary Grant’s ex-wife Harvard grad/RKO contract actress Betsy Drake is their daughter Tessa Dahl’s godmother. Howard Hughes (at whose Hughes Aircraft plant Jack Parsons was employed) had served as best man at Carey Grant’s marriage to Betsy Drake and it was Betsy Drake who studied and worked as a volunteer at the infamous MKULTRA funded UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute who first introduced Cary Grant to LSD therapy). In 1967 A.D. Warner Bros.-Seven Arts purchased Atlantic Records© (the record label at the time of the Kenneth Anger-associated rock group Led Zeppelin [Led Zeppelin’s 1976 A.D. film The Song Remains the Same was a Warner Bros.© release]. In 1968 A.D., Warner Bros.-Seven Arts would release a film entitled Petulia featuring cameo appearances by band members from The Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company] and in the 1970s, of supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash and [Charles Manson’s friend Neil] Young. The Andy Warhol-associated band, Velvet Underground [one of whose band-members, John Cale, was a member of the Fluxus group who worked with The New School of Social Research instructor John Cage. Numerous John Cage-inspired ‘Happenings’ were staged at Andy Warhol’s Factory], was also at this time under contract to an Atlantic Records’ subsidiary, Cotillian Records. Atlantic Records also retained a formal distribution agreement with Decca Records, The Rolling Stones’ own record label [The Rolling Stones made their first U.S. television appearance June 6, 1964 A.D. on The Hollywood Palace television show (hosted by various Hollywood celebrities including Bing Crosby [his eldest son Harry Crosby even appears in a few Hollywood Palace episodes] and Rat Pack actor Dean Martin) which itself had licensing agreements with Warner Bros.©]. In 1969 A.D. Warner Bros.-Seven Arts was bought out by Kinney National Company [which with its own recent 1967 A.D. purchase of the Hollywood talent agency Ashley-Famous had brought within its fold singer/songwriting poet Jim Morrison [a musical artist for whom Manson Family murder victim Jay Sebring himself served as hairstylist] and his Aldous Huxley-inspired band The Doors (Ashley-Famous also marketed such hit television shows as Get Smart, Star Trek [show star DeForest Kelley served in General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit as well] and the Doris Day Show [Doris Day’s son Terry Melcher was himself a friend of Charles Manson]). Ted Ashley, co-founder of Ashley-Famous (Ted Ashley had served as a chairman on the board of the Warner Bros.© company beginning with its founding in 1923 A.D. and would run Warner Bros.© himself from 1969 to 1981 A.D.), had gotten his start as a talent agent with the William Morris Agency whose clients included Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. [Sammy Davis, Jr. was a member along with Jay Sebring and various Manson Family members of the Church of Satan [it was then Governor Ronald Reagan (a member of ‘Hap’ Arnold’s U.S. Army Air Force who served with the First Motion Picture Unit who appears in various Warner Bros.© films with Charles Manson’s friend Terry Melcher’s mom Doris Day, an associate of Aleister Crowley’s friend Christopher Isherwood) who had originally appointed the judge who would oversee Charles Manson’s murder trial]. Noting all of these associations one can only conclude the Church of Satan [as well as its offshoot Temple of Set headquartered in Anton LaVey’s secretary/Army Intelligence officer Michael Aquino’s Russian Hill, SF home located near the San Francisco Art Institute, an arts school with which so many individuals in our story are associated, including OSS/MKULTRA researcher Gregory Bateson] was a group closely affiliated with the Fabian Society/Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Stella Matutina/OTO/British-American Intelligence services], Steve McQueen [Steve McQueen had been a member of Samson De Brier’s magic group along with Warner Bros.© contract actor Dennis Hopper (also a friend of Charles Manson) and Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey. 985

Steve McQueen appears in the film Never So Few (1959 A.D.) starring Rat Pack actors Frank Sinatra and President John F. Kennedy’s brother-in-law Peter Lawford based upon a true story about a group of WWII OSS operatives led by UCLA-grad William R. Peers (later a CIA agent/Vietnam War general likely associated with Army Intelligence agent Michael A. Aquino who like William R. Peers was also stationed at the Presidio in San Francisco and who likewise had served in the Vietnam War)], President John F. Kennedy’s girlfriend Marilyn Monroe [who once dated Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey, a friend of John F. Kennedy’s friend Frank Sinatra. It was Ronald Reagan’s colleague, photographer David Conover, a former member of General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit, who is credited with ‘discovering’ Marilyn Monroe], Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley [Presley’s 1967 A.D. film Clambake was produced by the Levy-Gardner-Laven Productions film production company, the three of whom had first met while seving together in General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit], OTO-member Paul Bowles and bands including The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys]. Kinney National Company had been formed under the partnership of mobsters Manny Kimmell and Abner ‘Longy’ Zwillman, the ‘Al Capone of New Jersey’ who had once dated actress Jean Harlow, godmother to Bugsy Siegel’s daughter Millicent [Bugsy Siegel had been Zwillman’s Mafia partner in crime during the Prohibition years]. Kimmell would eventually testify at the FBI’s trial of his business partner Abner Zwillman and fellow mobster Joey Adonis. Much illicitly gained Mafia money has been laundered through the filmmaking and music industries). Warner Bros.© and its subsidiaries and associates’ ranks you will notice include most of the characters co-starring in our seedy little magical Hollywood screenplay. Hollywood is indeed a city of false fronts, a blackmagical little place where everything is scripted including ‘reality’ itself. And Warner Bros.© was certainly front and center of the action—this bunch of mystics included all the people who seemed to be present at the Charles Manson magic rituals performed at the house of Dennis Wilson (with all of the preceeding information in mind, is it interesting to learn that the Tony Blair Faith Foundation named after founding member/British MI5 Intelligence agent/exPrime Minister Tony Blair was founded in 2008 A.D. in New York at the headquarters of Time Warner© in partnership with the CIA-associated Yale University (whose Skull and Bones secret society [members of which included Ronald Reagan’s V.P. George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, Fabian Society-member Tony Blair’s ally during the Iraq War] was originall co-founded by Fabian Society-member Daniel Coit Gilman) in an attempt to unify all religions as part of ongoing New World Order ‘Globalization’ efforts. Recall Time© magazine publisher Henry Luce was a Yale Skull and Bones-member/friend of fellow Yale Skull and Bones-member Prescott Bush, Luce known to have been one of more than 400 journalists who had worked with and for the CIA during the Cold War. Today, circa 2013 A.D., Bloomberg News© which works in conjunction with the world’s largest media conglomerate Time Warner© [read: the world’s largest Intelligence propaganda operation] providing financial information to its subscribers has been accused of spying on the financial transactions of its users [representing the modern day WWII-era MEW/BEW partnership devoted to industrial espionage and currently waging a covert economic world war], no big surprise considering the historical Intelligence connections associated with Time Warner©. As NSA-asset-turned-patriotic-whistleblower Edward Snowden has revealed concerning the CIA-instituted NSA** spy program [**high ranking members of which included Church of Satan high priest/Army Intelligence officer Michael Aquino]: “These programs were never about terrorism; they’re about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They’re about power.” And this powerful and influential corporation is CIA owned and operated and headed by Satanists). The tradition continues today with Warner Bros.© film producer/poet Tim Burton, et al, creator of a number of Warner Bros.© occult themed films. Badee, badee, badee, that’s all folks! (Even cartoon characters Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck donned helmets [along with Walt Disney/Warner Bros.© cartoon animator/General Hap Arnold First Motion Picture Unit-member David Rose] for the Warner Bros.© propaganda war effort waged against evil allied Axis forces [See Bugs & Daffy: The Wartime Cartoons 986

(1998 A.D.)]). Did I say all? Well, not quite all. In 1957 A.D. Warner Bros.© had produced a John Ford directed film (John Ford was a former member of ‘Hap’ Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit) entitled The Rising of the Moon (narrated by actor Tyrone Power, a relative of British spy Laurence Olivier whose uncle was a Fabian Society-member, a group whose membership ranks were largely composed of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members) which featured stories by Abbey Theatre-connected Irish authors Lady Gregory and Frank O’Connor and featuring actual “players from the Abbey Theatre company” including Abbey Theatre actor Jack MacGowran. As we learn from Wikipedia: “(Jack) MacGowran was born on October 13, 1918 in Dublin (Ireland). He established his professional reputation as a member of the Abbey Players (composed of actors/actresses from the Abbey Theater, a bastion of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, itself a precursor organization to the OTO; likely MacGowran himself was an OTO member as well) in Dublin… In 1966 Roman Polanski (whose wife Sharon Tate was an OTO witch who was murdered by members of the murderous Manson Family) cast him (Jack MacGowran) as the gangster Albie in Cul-de-sac, before creating Professor Abronsius in The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) especially for him (actress Sharon Tate was herself said to have been inducted into witchcraft on the set of this Polanski-directed film by Wiccan witch Alexander Sanders who likewise connects to British Intelligence agent/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO member Aleister Crowley. One of the stars of this film, German Jewish actor Ferdy Mayne, is now known to have served as an MI5 British Intelligence informant during WWII, the film itself being produced by Gene Gutowski, a member during WWII of the US Army Counter Intelligence Corp. Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate would wed the following year in 1968 A.D.; she would be murdered in 1969 A.D. by members of the infamous Solar Lodge OTOassociated Manson Family of witches [Charles Manson was a member of the OTO’s Solar Lodge]. In years prior, Sharon Tate [whose own father was a member of U.S. Army Intelligence] had co-starred in the Ransohoff/Filmways**/MGM production, Eye of the Devil [1966 A.D.] alongside British Intelligence agent/actor David Niven [whose friend, fellow British Intelligence agent Ian Fleming was Aleister Crowley’s case officer (See Secret Agent 666)], an occult-themed British film [complete with a Black Mass and the traditional ritual sacrifice of a first born son] filmed in London in 1966 A.D. [it was during the filming of this film that Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring first met British witches Alex and Maxine Sanders (See pp.107-8 Fire Child: The Life and Magic of Maxine Sanders, Witch Queen by Maxine Sanders, 2008 A.D.) at which time, according to Maxine Sanders, Sharon Tate had received her initiation into Wicca by the Sanders (and not at the time of the filming of The Fearless Vampire Killers as is generally reported). At any rate Terry Southern had played an uncredited role in the making of this film (See A Grand Guy: The Art and Life of Terry Southern by Lee Hill, 2001 A.D.)]. It is important to remember that Sharon Tate was a witch in the very arcane occult sense of the word and thusly one must not overlook the ritualistic aspect of the murder sacrifice of Sharon Tate along with her very first-(un)born son: “In studying the cult of the witches, plain and irrefragable proof is found that the personage called by Christian writers ‘the Devil’ … To this deity they made sacrifices of various kinds, the most important of such sacrifices being that of a child. The child was either a witch’s child, or was unbaptised…” - Child-Sacrifice among European Witches (Man, Vol. 18, [April 1918], p.60) by Margarett Alice Murray. Sharon Tate’s unborn child satisfied both of these requirements. At any rate, Intelligence work and acting go hand in spurious hand, for what more is a spy than an actor pretending to be something he or she is not, and a theatrical group makes for the perfect school in which one may hone ones acting/lying/spying skills). Other notable film appearances include the Ealing Studios’ comedy The Titfield Thunderbolt (1953) (in 1944 A.D. Ealing Studios itself had been bought out by the Rank Organization, a British Intelligence front company. In 1955 A.D. Ealing Studios was bought by the BBC [yet another British Intelligence front company]. The script for The Titfield Thunderbolt film itself was written by script-writer T.E.B. Clarke, brother of British Intelligence agent Dudley Clarke, whose uncle was a stage magician who served as chairman of the The Magic Circle [See p.257 987

Churchill’s Wizards by Nicholas Rankin] headquartered in London, England)…His last film was [the Warner Bros.©-produced film] The Excorcist (1973) (with Ellen Burstyn. Remember this name as she pops up in association with other MKULTRA CIA-sponsored parapsychology investigations. The Exorcist is a film whose subject matter is Satanic possession).” – Wikipedia: Jack MacGowran. The Irish writer Frank O’Connor (pseudonym for Michael O’Donovan, not to be confused with Ayn Rand’s husband Frank O’Connor) was, of course, a member of the First Brigade of the Irish Republican Army who later became a member of the Board of Directors of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn grandmaster W.B. Yeats’ Abbey Theatre in Dublin (note this Irish Republican Army association to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Frank O’Connor, a Harvard University graduate who had personally known both W.B. Yeats and George ‘AE’ Russell, taught and lectured at Harvard University during the early 1950s and from the late 1950s to the early 1960s would teach classes at Stanford University in California (note these IRA/Golden Dawn/Harvard connections as well. Harvard University’s Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn associations are in fact extensive). MKULTRA test subject Ken Kesey himself would study literature on a Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship award under Wallace Stegner, and as a Stegner Fellow would study under Frank O’Connor and Malcolm Cowley there at Stanford University at this point in time. As we learn from Wikipedia, the Pennsylvania-born author Malcolm Cowley was: “…one of the dozens of creative literary and artistic figures who migrated during the 1920s to Paris, France and congregated in Montparnasse (Malcolm Cowley had been a part of the Harvard University-associated ambulance corps serving with the American Field Service [founded by Harvard grad/Harvard professor/U.S. Assistant Secretary to the Treasury Abram Andrew (later an eight-time Republican congressman from MA)] in France during WWI)… Cowley returned to live in France for three years, where he worked with Ernest Hemmingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, (Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn grand master W.B. Yeats’ friend) Ezra Pound, E.E. Cummings (e.e. cummings and Ezra Pound were friends of the CIA’s U.S. counterintelligence czar James Angleton), Gerald and Sara Murphy, Edmund Wilson, Erskine Caldwell, Harry Crosby, Caresse Crosby and others (including Kenneth Anger’s friend Jean Cocteau). He is usually regarded as representative of America’s Lost Generation (which group included the Harvard University-associated Gertrude Stein).” – Wikipedia: Malcolm Cowley. Malcolm Cowley, who at one point in time had resided with former Poet Laureate Consultant to the Library of Congress Allen Tate along with Harry and Caresse Cosby’s friend/WWI ambulance driver/poet Hart Crane (Allen Tate himself had likewise resided for a time with the ‘Lost Generation’ group in Paris; it is possible he is also related to Sharon Tate), had served as an assistant editor of the CIA-associated magazine, The New Republic. It was at this precise time at Stanford University in 1959 A.D. (coming on the heels of the CIA-affiliated Macy Foundation’s 10th Macy conference held in 1959 A.D. [the theme of which was ‘The Use of LSD in Psychotherapy’], participants in which conference included former OSS psychiatrist Gregory Bateson and CIA/MKULTRA psychiatrist Dr. Louis Jolyon ‘Dr. Jolly’ West [whose assistant Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer while working side by side with Dr. Louis Jolyon West had over her career interviewed more than 4,000 California cult members including Charles Manson along with a number of his Manson Family followers]) that Ken Kesey volunteered to become an MKULTRA test subject for the CIA no doubt oweing to this association with Malcolm Cowley who himself had served in the OSS during WWII, and who likely served in the CIA thereafter (Malcolm Cowley’s friend, the Pennsylvania-born philosopher Kenneth Burke, one time editor of The Dial, had known Malcolm Cowley years prior from the time they all lived in Greenwich Village. Burke himself had ties to Marianne Moore, a lifelong friend of William Carlos Williams, Allen Ginsberg’s mentor. Allen Ginsberg was a friend of Ken Kesey. OSS agent Malcolm Cowley would serve as editor for Jack Kerouac, editing Kerouac’s novel On the Road [published 1957 A.D.]). (**Filmways© founder Martin Ransohoff [a member of the Russian Jewish Ransohoff family—there is a minor planet which bears the family name—25469 Ransohoff] was a cousin to the highly placed neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Ransohoff [a friend of General George S. Patton 988

famous for operating on White House press secretary James Brady following the 1981 A.D. Reagan assassination attempt; Ransohoff had served as medical consultant for the ABC T.V. (for which television network Warner Brothers Television produced many of its television programs beginning in 1955 A.D.) medical drama, Ben Casey (1961 – 1966 A.D.; a medical drama partly based on the life of Joseph Ransohoff and filmed at Desilu Studios by Bing Crosby Productions. The Star Trek© series itself began life in 1966 A.D. under Desilu Productions [the forerunner of CBS Television Productions and co-owned by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball (Lucille Ball was an RKO contract actress from 1935 – 1942 A.D. Desilu Productions film editor Harry Harris was a former member of General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit during which time he served at the Hal Roach Studios in Culver City under the direction of Ronald Reagan), it produced I Love Lucy (the head editor for which was Dan Cahn, another former member of General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit. It must also be noted actress Elizabeth Patterson [like many in our story she was an ambulance driver during WWI], who played the elderly neighbor Matilda Trumbull on I Love Lucy was the daughter of a Confederate soldier). It was CBS’ Ed Sullivan Show which introduced The Beatles’ to the United States] which in 1957 A.D. had bought the RKO Pictures movie production properties and facilities which included its main lot in Culver City. RKO employed many members of General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit in the immediate aftermath of WWII) co-starring Sam Jaffe [as a youth, Jaffe had lived in the same Greenwich Village apartment complex as director John Huston** (director of a number of Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne films—John Wayne had previously appeared in nine RKO films)— the two would remain friends for life] whose closest friends included author Ray Bradbury (a friend of Aldous Huxley, Bradbury was a regular attendee of the L.A. Fantasy and Science Fiction Society along with OTO high-priest Jack Parsons and was a fixture at the Sampson De Brier magic gatherings as well. Ray Bradbury, along with Warner Bros.© actress Bette Davis [who during WWII worked with Hal Wallis and who in the 1960s would marry a Seven Arts Productions executive, which places her squarely into the U.S./British Intelligence camp], poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt are related to/descended from a Salem witch named Mary Bradbury [nѐe Perkins] who during the Salem Witch Trials in 1692 A.D. was tried as a witch, convicted and sentenced to hang. Salem witch Mary Bradbury’s son, Wymond Bradbury, would marry a woman named Sarah Pike, the daughter of one Major Robert Pike. It is from Major Robert Pike’s brother, John Pike, that Confederate general Albert Pike is descended). Another Ben Casey co-star, Franchot Tone, appeared in a number of films alongside actress Jean Harlow and was a descendent of an Irish revolutionary. Ben Casey’s music was provided by David Raksin (beginning in 1956 A.D., Raksin would teach musical composition at the University of Southern California [where was employed OTO-member Meade Layne] and at UCLA), a one-time assistant of Charlie Chaplin who has provided the scores for various movies including Fallen Angel, a 1945 A.D. film starring OTO-member John Carradine [Carradine plays the part of a travelling séanceperforming fortune-teller], a member of Jack Parson’s OTO magic lodge)]. David Raskin was a member of U.S. Army General George S. Patton’s close circle of associates during WWII. Notably enough, both Dudley Clarke and George S. Patton were both high-ranking participants of Operation Torch (as was President Theodore Roosevelt’s eldest son General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., a Harvard College grad), the Allied British-American offensive drive into North Africa during WWII which resulted in a resounding German defeat allowing for the subsequent Allied invasion of Sicily and Italy the ensuing operations in which U.S. Naval Intelligence would partner with members of the Mafia. General George S. Patton [upon whose son’s staff as a captain at the U.S. Army’s Armor School at Fort Knox would serve Army Intelligence officer/Church of Satan-member Michael A. Aquino, with distinction (See p.207 The Church of Satan by Michael A. Aquino), all the while as a card carrying member of the Church of Satan in regular correspondence with Church of Satan-founder Anton LaVey] had himself personally known Aleister Crowley’s ‘right-hand man,’ British Major-General J.F.C. Fuller, a leading member of Aleister Crowley’s Argenteum Astrum [both Patton and 989

Fuller commanded mechanized armored forces and as a prominent military strategist, Fuller had literally ‘written the book’ on modern armored warfare (J.F.C. Fuller also authored a book entitled The Secret Wisdom of Qabalah, a testament to his mystical leanings, as well as an essay on the works of Aleister Crowley himself entitled The Star in the West). Interestingly enough, the military historian Captain Liddell Hart in his book The Tanks lists Winston Churchill as one of the co-creators of the tank], and members of the Patton family were prominent citizens of the city of Pasadena, CA where Aleister Crowley would establish his OTO lodge under the leadership of Jack Parsons [Aleister Crowley was a former resident of Pasadena: “Crowley, it is said, took a house in Pasadena… Here, say the legends, adoring women would visit… Rumor has it that Crowley did a nice line in love potions from his Pasadena house…” – pp.167-168 Diary of a Witch]. George S. Patton [Patton himself was born in San Marino, CA near Los Angeles in 1885 A.D.] hails from a prominent Confederate family [George S. Patton’s father was a friend of John S. Mosby, “the fabled ‘Gray Ghost’ of J.E.B. Stuart’s legendary cavalry” (following the war John S. Mosby would serve as an attorney for the Southern Pacific Railroad in San Francisco for which company Stanford University-founder, Leland Stanford, served as Chairman), and several other of his family members would die on the field of battle championing the Confederate cause]. General George S. Patton is also related to Hugh Mercer, a soldier-physician and brigadier general who served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, a close friend to General George Washington, our first American president. Hugh Mercer [a Jacobite who fled Scotland for Pennsylvania after the Jacobite’s defeat at the Battle of Culloden, the unsuccessful culmination of the Jacobite uprising—other [anti-House of Hanover] Jacobites including James II had fled Scotland for France. Paris, France was home to various Illuminati including Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau (9 March 1749 – 2 April 1791), a French Revolution-ary known to have been in communication with the Illuminus statesmen Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, both of whom had served as United States Ministers to France] was Master of the very same Fredericksburg, Virginia, Masonic Lodge in which the American Presidents George Washington and James Monroe along with the Illuminus general the Marquis de Lafayette, held sway, and which lodge, Fredericksburg Masonic Lodge No. 4 [the Rising Sun Tavern, aka the “House of the Rising Sun”], is still in existence today [Hugh Mercer even owned his own apothecary shop there in Virginia—now known as the Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop museum—apothecaries are notorious practitioners of magic]. Another Hugh Mercer relative, songwriter Johnny Mercer [co-founder of Capitol Records©] who as a composer of songs [songs including That Old Black Magic (1942 A.D.); he also would write Frank Sinatra’s Summer Wind (1965 A.D.) and a number of Frank Sinatra’s songs appear on Johnny Mercer’s Capitol Records© label] for RKO musicals and knew many entertainers including Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Fred Astaire and and the truly magical Wizard of Oz star Judy Garland with whom he would have an affair. These facts do serve to bring to mind the immortal words of one Charlie Daniels: “Be proud you’re a rebel ‘cause the South’s gonna do it again, and again…” —indubitably, in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten. So when a 33° Freemason such as Adam Gorightly reveals in his book The Beast of Adam Gorightly: Collected Rantings (1992-2004) that Hollywood actress Tuesday Weld (who like OTO witch Sharon Tate was in the employ of Filmways© executive Martin Ransohof) was high-priestess of the Bavarian Illuminati I take it as truth without batting an eye, particularly seeing as how Tuesday Weld hailed from the prominent Boston Brahmin Weld family which has longtime Harvard College associations, whose forebears include Royal Dublin Society president Isaac Weld who had known both Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, and whose family included in fact no less than seven Weld family members who had fought with General George Washington during America’s Revolutionary War (other former Royal Dublin Society [previously known as the Dublin Philosophical Society and which itself is a direct off-shoot of the Royal Society in London] presidents of note are Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Bram Stoker and Theosophical Society-member Oscar Wilde [Oscar Wilde’s wife Constance had been a 990

member along with Aleister Crowley of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order. Associated with the Dublin Philosophical Society is Trinity College, Dublin’s University Philosophical Society (both societies were founded by the same individual) whose membership ranks have included W.B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker (Stoker is a former president of the University Philosophical Society; Trinity College was Oscar Wilde’s and Bram Stoker’s alma mater), all individuals associated with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Other members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-associated University Philosophical Society include a number of prominent U.S. politicians including Senator John McCain (2008 A.D. Republican Presidential Candidate), 2012 A.D. presidential hopeful/CFR member/33° Freemason Newt Gingrich (a former Speaker of the House), South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, the House Speaker from California/San Francisco resident Nancy Pelosi and former Connecticut Senator/Bianca Jagger boyfriend/2008 A.D. presidential candidate Christopher Dodd (Christopher Dodd’s father, Connecticut Senator Thomas J. Dodd, a former special agent for the FBI who was for a number of years along with Prescott Bush Connecticut’s two Senator Senatorial team. Thomas J. Dodd was at the center of a 1960s Senate investigation involving German corporations and their unregistered agent, Major General Julius Klein), current chief lobbyist/CEO for the Motion Picture Association of America [the trade association which represents, among others, Walt Disney Pictures© (Walt Disney produced hundreds of propaganda/training films for the U.S. Army and Navy in association with General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit during WWII) and Warner Bros.© studios group (many of whose actors and producers served in General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit during WWII); Christopher Dodd replaces Dan Glickman (MPAA president from 2004-2010 A.D.), the former director of the Institute of Politics at Harvard University/chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (a testament to Hollywood’s own Intelligence associations), who himself replaced Harvardgrad Jack Valenti (MPAA president from 1966-2004 A.D.), the former aid to President Lyndon Johnson and father of Warner Bros.© studio exec Courtenay Valenti], and various Harvard University professors including Joseph Nye, former Dean of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and Mark Malloch Brown, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General/Minister of State under British Labour P.M./ Fabian Society-member Gordon Brown] which provides a hint as to the University Philosophical Society’s [as well as our current government’s] affiliations and may as well be branded Club Illuminati. Tuesday Weld is also a descendent of abolitionist Theodore Weld, the founder of a Utopian community in New Jersey [it was Harvard-connected abolitionists such as Theodore Weld of the American Anti-Slavery Society and John Brown himself who had fanned the southern Successionist flames prior to America’s Civil War]). No. For me that comes as no surprise. What did surprise me however was the identity and the associations of Tuesday Weld’s own relatives including Massachusetts Governor William Floyd Weld: “...(former Massachusetts) Governor William Floyd Weld is the grandson of Francis Minot Weld, Jr. After his grandfather’s investment company (White Weld & Co.) was sold to the brokerage company G.H. Walker & Co. (named for George Herbert Walker, Jr, uncle of U.S. President George H.W. Bush) [George Herbert Walker would marry Prescott Bush’s daughter—Prescott Bush*** served as then future president Richard Nixon’s political mentor. George Herbert Walker may very well be related to Emery Walker, a close friend of William Morris, George Bernard Shaw and Rudyard Kipling], the future governor served as director of the Bush’s company until it was bought by Merrill Lynch in the 1970s [Church of Satan-member/Military Intelligence/NSA officer Michael A. Aquino mentions being under the employ of Merrill Lynch circa 1972 A.D. in his book The Church of Satan. It was Merrill Lynch which had owned Pathѐ Exchange which was acquired by Josph P. Kennedy, Sr. and merged with the Keith-Albee-Orpheum chain of theaters and with Cecil B. DeMille’s Producers Distributing Corporation to create what would eventually become RKO Radio Pictures. As we learn from Wikipedia: “In 1949 or 1950, (Cecil B.) DeMille (a staunch Republican) was recruited by (CIA director) Allan Dulles and (Allen Dulles’ CIA London station chief) Frank Wisner 991

(former head of psychological operations [psyops] at the Office of Policy Coordination which was subsumed into the CIA in 1951 A.D.) to serve on the board of the anti-communist National Committee for a Free Europe, the public face of the organization that oversaw the (largely CIA-funded) Radio Free Europe service.”].” – Wikipedia: Weld Family. Now that info came as a bit of a surprise. Governor William Floyd Weld would marry Harvard professor Susan Roosevelt, great granddaughter of President Theodore Roosevelt [it is Theodore Roosevelt’s friend H.J. Whitley who is considered to be the ‘Father of Hollywood’]. Of course the aforementioned George H.W. Bush would after serving a stint as the Ambassador to the United Nations under appointment of the Prescott Bush-mentored U.S. President Richard Nixon serve as CIA Director and as America’s 41st President (whose son George W. Bush, America’s 43rd president was allegedly the son of Aleister Crowley’s very own magickal child). Notable Tuesday Weld films include Sex Kittens Go to College [1960 A.D. with John Carradine (a former member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge which Parsons’ had run under the direction of Aleister Crowley) and Charlie Chaplin’s son and namesake, Charles Chaplin, Jr.], High Time [1960 A.D. with Bing Crosby (who appears in two Frank Capra directed films during the early 1950s, Capra being a member of General Hap Arnold’s First Motion Picture Unit) and singer/AIP contract actor Fabian], Wild in the Country [1961 A.D. with Theosophical Society-member Elvis Presley], Soldier in the Rain [1963 A.D. with occultists Jackie Gleason (a personal friend of U.S. President Richard Nixon) and De Brier’s magic bunch member Steve McQueen (OTO lodge leader Jack Parsons and Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey had like Steve McQueen also been a member of the De Brier magic bunch at one point in time)], I'll Take Sweden [1965 A.D. with Bob Hope], The Cincinnati Kid [1965 A.D. produced by Martin Ransohoff for Filmways© with Steve McQueen and Dean Martin’s friend Anne-Margret [she appears in Frank Capra films as well (as does Frank Sinatra appear in Capra’s 1959 A.D. film A Hole in the Head with Church of Satan-member Keenan Wynn), would sing at JFK’s birthday party, appears in Viva Las Vegas with Elvis Presley and would tour with Bob Hope during Vietnam War-era USO shows], screenplay by Terry Southern] and director John Frankenheimer’s first film following his involvement in the RFK assassination, I Walk the Line [1970 A.D.], as well as a slew of other movies co-starring all the usual suspects including Orson Welles and Jack Nicholson and the Rank Organization’s Christopher Lee [Serial (1980 A.D.); Christopher Lee himself has Royal Dublin Society/University Philosophical Society associations as well], with Christopher Lee in earlier times serving as an RAF Intelligence agent who served in P.M. Winston Churchill’s** Special Operations Executive [SOE] unit during WWII [** who worked with Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. in Kennedys position as U.S. Ambassador to London]. U.S. presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, former Nixon V.P. Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush are all [according to the New England Historic Genealogical Society]: “…4th-7th cousins various times removed…” of Illuminati/Carbonari-associated poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, a friend of Henry James, Sr., father of Harvard University professor William James whose own Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn connections are in fact quite extensive. The creation of many Hollywood movies it would appear were in fact a part of concerted CIA/British Intelligence psyops/propaganda operations/programs designed to influence public opinion and tastes). (*** Prescott Bush, a Yale Skull and Bones-member, was a partner in the Brown Brothers Harriman investment firm along with fellow Bonesman W. Averell Harriman who would serve as ambassador to London replacing Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. [Prescott Bush’s father, Samuel Prescott Bush, served as General Manager and later president of Buckeye Steel Castings Company, a manufacturer of railway parts run by Frank Rockefeller, the brother of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, amongst whose clients were railroads controlled by E. H. Harriman] who acted as special envoy to Europe and as a go-between to P.M. Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt during WWII. Following the war W. Averell Harriman would have extensive CIA associations, not the least of which included a direct relationship with Allen and John Foster Dulles [Yale University in its own day had graduated no small number of aristocratic landed slave-holding gentry including one Joseph 992

H. Dulles from whom the Dulles’ family is descended]. In 1961 A.D. W. Averell Harriman would be appointed Ambassador at Large in the Kennedy presidential administration. In 1971 A.D., W. Averell Harriman would marry Winston Churchill’s son Randolph Churchill’s exwife Pamela, who would later serve in Paris as President Bill Clinton’s Ambassador to France [Pamela had met Randolph Churchill during a stint as an English/French language translator in the wartime British Foreign Office in London in 1939 A.D. during WWII where was ensconced so many of the British Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/OTO-associated Intelligence agents mentioned within our story. The Weld family has extensive Harvard connections (which itself has extensive Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn connections)—one of Harvard’s very first graduates was a Weld family member—and two prominent buildings at Harvard University retain the Weld family name to this day]. Brown Brothers Harriman is still in existence today, with sixteen locations world round including Dublin in Ireland and Zurich in Switzerland. Former Brown Brothers Harriman employee Alan Greenspan, a friend of philosopher Ayne Rand and supporter of Ayne Rand’s laissez-faire Objectivist policies [Ayne Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged is a story wherein society’s most productive citizens, refusing to be exploited by increasing taxation and government regulations decide therefore to simply disappear, thereby shutting down the nations vital industries—America is suffering from these globalist/offshoring Objectivist practices today (thank you Ayn Rand Institute) as there are numerous powerful individuals in business and government (and many of these are of a profoundly Satanic bent) including the aforementioned Fed Chairman/CFR-member/corporate director Alan Greenspan, a former speechwriter for Richard Nixon, dedicated to the serious study and practical application of Ayn Rand’s Objectivist philosophies] would serve five stints as Chairman of the Federal Reserve under U.S. presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush [current Fed Chairman is the Brooklyn-born UCBerkeley-grad Janet Yellen, former head of the San Francisco Fed as well as a former teacher from both the London School of Economics and Harvard University, these institutions being bastions of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Her Vice-Chairman at the Federal Reserve is London School of Economics/MIT grad/Israeli banker Stanley Fischer (an associate of former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke), a former Governor of the Bank of Israel (appointed by Israeli P.M. Ariel Sharon [a former Hagganah youth movement member/IDF commander] and the then Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu)/IMF deputy director/World Bank president/member of the Habonim Dror Zionist Youth Movement group directly descended from Hashomer Hatzair, the Zionist Youth Movement group founded by Ze’ev Jabotinski]. Another Brown Brothers Harriman executive of note is George Herbert Walker [also hailing from a family of former slave owners] whose daughter Dorothy would marry Prescott Bush giving birth to our 41 st American President/CIA Director George Herbert Walker Bush who would in turn spawn America’s 43rd U.S. President, George W. Bush [architect of America’s wars with Iraq and Afghanistan who is purported to be the son of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley’s own ‘magickal child’]. Another individual associated with the Brown brothers banking empire, A. B. Krongard [he served as Alex. Brown bank chairman in 1998 A.D.], would serve as Executive Director of the Central Intelligence Agency [number 3 in the CIA under George Tenet during the presidential administration of George W. Bush] in 2001 A.D. A. B. Krongard is famous for being cited in the 9/11 Commission Report for his insider trading of 95% of the United Airlines ‘puts’ [betting a stock price will decline] sold on September 10, 2001 A.D., not twenty-four hours before al Qaeda militants led by Osama Bin Laden would slam United Airlines Flight 175 into the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York on 9/11/01, and crash a United Airlines Flight 93 into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, spurring war with Iraq and Afghanistan as well as a 42% drop in the United Airlines stock price and a big monetary windfall for Mr. Krongard and CIA Co (Alex. Brown it is interesting to note was a co-founder of the Intelligence-associated Carlyle Group [a Washington D.C.-based military contractor one of whose Senior Advisors from 1998-2003 A.D. was former U.S. President George H.W. Bush] in which company the family of Osama 993

Bin Laden were quite notable investors at the time of the 9/11 terrorist attacks [See Bin Laden Family Liquidates Holdings With Carlyle Group, New York Times, October 26, 2001 A.D. Was 9/11 the fruit of an Operation Northwoods-like scheme, a CIA proposal for launching false flag terrorist attacks on U.S. soil? (Google the ‘Operation Northwoods memorandum [13 March 1962 A.D.]). You be the judge. At any rate, Osama bin Laden had been a Cold War ally of the CIA since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 A.D., and as reported in the The Washington Times on Feb. 24, 2014 A.D., the Los Angeles, CA office of the FBI had had a working relationship with Osama bin Laden dating back at least to 1993 A.D. This information, devulged during routine courtroom testimony and part of the judicial record, had been inexplicably absent from the 9/11 Commission’s report]. The Carlyle Group today owns and operates Booz Allen Hamilton, the company at the heart of the NSA’s PRISM project, the classified mass surveillance and data collection ‘anti-terrorism’ program instituted in 2007 A.D. by President George W. Bush the existence of which was first revealed by patriotic whistleblowing employee Edward Snowden. The NSA typically includes various Christian groups on its terrorist watch list, no surprise considering the fact former Church of Satanmember/Temple of Set-founder Michael A. Aquino was once a high-ranking NSA officer. The Carlyle Group [whose Chairman of the Board Daniel A. D’Aniello is a Harvard-grad hailing from Butler County, PA, ancestral home to the utopian Spiritualist communes of German pietist Georg Rapp] receives its name from the Carlyle Hotel in New York City to which it owes its genesis which in turn was named after the Spiritualist ‘Sage of Chelsea,’ Thomas Carlyle, a good friend of Carbonari-member Giuseppe Mazzini. Giusseppe Mazzinis’s boss, Youth Movement-founder Lord Palmerston, it is crucial to note, was an associate of Brown Brothers-founder Alexander Brown’s son Sir William Brown, 1st Baronet, co-founder of the Liverpool-based trading firm Brown, Shipley & Co., today a London-based merchant bank [Brown Shipley]. Another son, John Cosby Brown, was married to Mary E. Adams, daughter of educator John Adams, grandfather of William Adams Delano, a relative of Franklin Delano Roosevelt). A. B. Krongard’s brother, Harvard law school grad Howard J. Krongard, State Department inspector general, would later be accused by Congress of averting probes and thwarting investigations into these obviously treasonous matters. With these facts in mind, it is hard to successfully argue against the so-called 9/11 ‘conspiracy theorists’ who believe these attacks were in fact an inside job from the get-go. One particularly interesting 9/11 conspiracy theme as presented by 9/11 Truth Movement author Jim Marrs holds that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 was an inside job by an elite group of Satanists working in league with the so-called ‘ancient astronauts’ [amongst which group is the fallen angel Azazel entrapped beneath the Iraqi sands along with his merry band of ancient aliens, and includes as well Satan’s group of rebel angels] bent on world control, and if this theme should sound familiar, it is only because it follows along the very same lines we have been all this while encountering. For more information, google the ‘9/11 Truth Movement’ and the Jun 27, 2006 A.D. Salon article ‘9/11 Deniers’ by Farhad Manjoo which states: “The theory of satanic cultism appeared plausible to others in the movement (in the 9/11 Truth Movement) as well. ‘It’s out there,’ Korey Rowe told me. ‘There are definitely controlling interests like that.’ When I asked Hoffman about it, he said, ‘That gets into things that are easily exploited — it sounds crazy when people talk about it, even though I think there’s something to it.’” This theory shall in fact sound less and less crazy as our story herefrom progresses) (**Director John Huston, who corroborated with Paul Bowles on the production of a 1946 A.D. Broadway play entitled Huis Clos [in English, No Exit], often employed hypnotism as a directing technique: “John Huston [whose first Hollywood job was scriptwriter for Warner Bros.© Studios] came from the West Coast to direct the translation of Huis Clos…” in which production the actress Annabella “…had performed partially under hypnosis. This was one of Huston’s tricks. During WWII he had used hypnosis as psychiatric therapy to help cases of combat fatigue (beginning in 1942 A.D., John Huston would serve as a captain in the U.S. Army in the Army Signal Corp as a propaganda filmmaker and later as a major in The First Motion Picture unit under General Hap Arnold. Hap Arnold had previously worked with Jack Parsons who was running former 994

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Aleister Crowley’s American OTO lodge). The documentary film he made on five such case histories, Let There Be Light, was quite moving, but the Army forbade its distribution [until 1981 A.D. when it was finally released/declassified], so it was buried [read: classified top secret; one of MKULTRAs favorite subjects of study was hypnosis]…he began to include hypnosis sessions in the rehearsals. What I found fascinating in these experiments was the way in which they revealed the extreme malleability of the human psyche. One afternoon Tyrone Power [a relative of British MI5 spy/actor Laurence Olivier whose uncle was a Fabian Society-member which society’s membership ranks was largely composed of Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn members] came to watch. John put on a good show for him. He had already got both Annabella and Ruth Ford [Warner Bros.© actress Ruth Ford was the sister of Surrealist poet/novelist/filmmaker Charles Henri Ford, a member of Gertrude Stein’s Parisian salon] to the point of being able to induce trance in them merely by snapping his fingers close to their faces.” – pp.267-8 Without Stopping by Paul Bowles. As pointed out by the witch Dr. Leo Martello in Weird Ways of Witchcraft, such modern hypnotic practices “had their origin” in the “Old Religion” of “Witchcraft,” with “modern hypnotism” practices simply having been “stripped…of all religious, occult or mystical trappings,” shorn of the ritual ceremonies the likes of which had originally accompanied this truly magical art—in essence, magic minus its original mysticism) (Witchcraft is historically hereditary in nature, and witches of a friendly feather so very often flock together: “…our oppressors know well ‘Ye may not be a witch alone.’ So all their kin and friends be in danger…” – A Witches’ Bible: The Complete Witches’ Handbook p.6 by witches Janet and Stewart Farrar. Where there is a witch, there is so often a coven, or even, very commonly, a group of associated covens, often with underlying familial ties. Indeed: “There were, there are, and there always will be witches… There are many hundreds of similar cases of witch families in the UK and elsewhere. They have handed down the secrets, from generation to generation.” – p.26 The Lid Off the Cauldron by Patricia Crowther. Many of these witch families are composed of British royalty and influential British politicians with powerful American familial associations. Anthropologist Margaret Alice Murray explains the mechanics of the predominance of hereditary witchcraft amongst English families in her book The God of the Witches: “William the Conqueror [the first Norman King of England] rendered waste and desolate nearly half of his new kingdom [of England]; the re-peopling of the wilderness seems to have been done in great measure by the descendants of the Neolithic and Bronze-age stock who were saved from massacre by the remoteness and inaccessibility of their dwellings. These were the places where the Old Religion [of witchcraft which included ritual magic practices featuring the invocation of fallen angels] flourished...” – p.6 The God of the Witches, 1933 A.D. It is largely the descendents of witchcraft families in Europe and the U.K. who had founded these United States and who yet still control our destiny today (For more information see The Satanic States of America by John of the Gentiles). Concerning hereditary witchcraft: “The passing on of traditions through the family is a global concept, and is not restricted to culture or continent. There are many family traditions existing in the United States, of which some good examples would be the Hexerei and pow wow doctors of the Pennsylvania Dutch and the conjurers and witch doctors of the Appalachians [which mountainous area divides the eastern seaboard of the U.S. from its Midwest region] and Ozarks [spanning parts of Arkansas (President Bill Clinton’s home state), Kansas, Missouri and Oaklahoma (for more information on Ozark magic practices see Ozark Folklore and Magic by Vance Randolph, 1964 A.D.)] — who all bear a striking resemblance to the fairy doctors [of Ireland] and cunning folk of Northern Europe — many of whom were hereditary themselves.” – Hereditary Witchcraft, 2009 A.D. As Rollo Ahmed would add circa 1936 A.D.: “…the belief in witchcraft even today is by no means dead, especially in such [English] counties as Devon, Cornwall and Somerset; while black magic, true or professed, is still to be found in every part of the country.” – The Black Art)

Nearly every magic-practicing musician at the center of our story who had performed and recorded during the 1960s and 70s are tied together into one neat little bunch of beautiful bodacious bananas through a little recording company called Sunset Sound Recorders, a recording studio located at 6650 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. Sunset Sound Recorders was founded in 1962 A.D. under Walt Disney’s direction by Walt Disney’s Disneyland Records© (which besides being the record label for a multitude of Disney movie soundtracks also served as the record label for Star Trek© and Star Wars© production albums, and for the movie E.T.: The Extraterrestrial and a series of Broadway musical songtrack albums as well) executive music director, Salvatore ‘Tutti’ Camarata (Camarata concurrently ran Disneyland Records© and Sunset Sound Recorders until 1972 A.D., and Sunset Sound Recorders’ principal client was Disneyland Records© itself, a testament to these entities interconnectedness) who had in years prior served as a flight instructor in the Army Air Force under General ‘Hap’ Arnold during WWII. Salvatore ‘Tutti’ Camarata was also an associate of J. Arthur Rank, 1st Baron Rank, founder of the Rank Organization, itself a British Intelligence front organization. The first two albums released by the rock band The Doors were recorded at the Sunset Sound Recorders recording studio, as were songs and albums released by The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Buffallo Springfield, Neil Young, Crosby Stills and Nash, The Mammas and the Pappas, Frank Zappa, Love and many, many others. During the 1940s, Salvatore ‘Tutti’ Camarata had served as music arranger for Bing Crosby and had co-founded London Records with Sir Edward Lewis of Decca Records (the New York office in which Camarata would work before his stint with Walt Disney) which produced recordings intended for American distribution whose best known artists included The Rolling Stones. Another Pasadena, California magic connection is the Theosophical Society (Pasadena): “The Theosophical Society (Pasadena) is a successor organization to the original Theosophical Society founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and others in 1875 (the Theosophical Societies’ Theosophical University Press, the publishing arm of The Theosophical Society International Headquarters: Pasadena, California is also located in Pasadena). This successor organization, which after several name changes once again now titles itself simply the Theosophical Society, though often with the clarifying statement, ‘International Headquarters, Pasadena, California,’ traces its beginnings to 1895 when 996

William Quan Judge was expelled by Annie Besant after Blavatsky’s death because he was faithful to the teachings of the Mahatmas (who are fallen angels). The faction led by Henry Steel Olcott and Annie Besant, whose organization, based in India, is today known as the Theosophical Society - Adyar. Judge led the American group for about a year until his death in 1898, when (Katherine) Tingley became manager. A group of roughly 200 members led by Ernest Temple Hargrove disputed Tingley’s leadership, seceded, and formed a rival faction (the New York-based Theosophical Society in America). Tingley (founder of the Point Loma Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society Homestead) later moved her Society’s headquarters from New York City to Point Loma, California (Point Loma. Remember this name. It crops up again and again in our tale. Interesting enough, there was a connection between the Point Loma Theosophical Society group and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the person of British writer Talbot Mundy. Mundy, who for more than ten years served the British government in India and who had also spent time in Tibet, had lived for a time at the theosophical Nicholas Roerich Institute in New York (with which institute Alan Watts and Hans Holzer [Holzer even resided there for a number of years] were likewise connected). A photo exists portraying theosophist Nicholas Roerich, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi together on Roerich’s estate in Kullu, once known as Kulanthpitha – ‘the end of the habitable world’ beyond which rose the monumental heights of the Greater Himalayas. Nicholas Roerich’s estate there in India served as a sort of weigh-station/jumping-off point for those in search of the legendary Shamballa, the place theosophists believed to be the true location of Azazel’s subterranean imprisonment. Another member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, George William Russell, was a former member of Katherine Tingley’s Point Loma Universal Brotherhood and occultist Paul Foster Case, himself a former musician, had been initiated into the OTO by Aleister Crowley himself and was a member of both the Point Loma Universal Brotherhood and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s successor organization, the Alpha et Omega, and was a high-degree Freemason as well. Paul Foster Case also had ties to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member J. W. Brodie-Innes and to Aleister Crowley’s secretary, Israel Regardie, both being individuals with which he had corresponded). Max Heindel was vice president during 1904 and 1905 (“Max Heindel - born Carl Louis von Grasshoff in Aarhus, Denmark on July 23, 1865 - was a Christian occultist [his writings are classified as ‘Esoteric Christianity’], astrologer, and mystic. He died on January 6, 1919 at Oceanside, California, United States.” Heindel was founder of the Rosicrucian Fellowship in Los Angeles, California, notable members of which included occultist Manly P. Hall [Pertinent Quote: “The Rosicrucian Fellowship is the Herald of the Aquarian Age (the Age of Aquarius), promulgating the Western Wisdom Religion formulated by the Brothers of the Rose Cross (read: by the Rosicrucians), and published by their messenger, Max Heindel, in The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Connection.” - The Rosicrucian Philosophy in Questions and Answers Volume II by Max Heindel]. Out of the Holland branch of the Rosicrucian Fellowship came Lectorium Rosicrucianum in 1924 A.D. which today brags of some 15,000 adherents in centers located around the world). Later managers include Gottfried de Purucker, 1929-42 (“Gottfried de Purucker [January 15, 1874, Suffern, New York – September 27, 1942] was an author and Theosophist who joined the Theosophical Society on August 16, 1893”); Grace Knoche and currently Randell Grubb.” - Wikipedia: Theosophical Society Pasadena. Which brings us to James A. Long: “James A. Long was leader of the Theosophical Society (Pasadena) from 1951 until his death in 1971. Born in 1898 to a poor family in York, Pennsylvania (during the American Revolutionary War [from 1775-1783 A.D.], York served as a temporary capital for the Continental Congress—the Articles of Confederation would be drafted and adopted in York. York is home to a BAE Systems facility, an RAF/de Havilland Aircraft Company-associated British multinational defense, security and aerospace company), he contracted polio as a boy and always walked with a cane. Following a career in private business, he worked during World War II as management consultant in the Office of the Quartermaster General in Washington, DC, and was later transferred to the Department of State where he assisted in the changeover to peacetime 997

responsibilities. While there, Mr. Long was sent as an Advisor to the US Delegation to the United Nations at the opening of its Second Session in 1946. After a long and extensive search for a satisfying philosophy of life, in 1935 he joined the Theosophical Society, then headquartered at Point Loma, California, and led by Gottfried de Purucker. He worked closely with Colonel Arthur L. Conger (Conger was a Harvard College grad [Class of 1894], highdegree Freemason and Republican party leader on both the state and national levels. Conger also served as Military Attache to Berlin, Germany, and Berne, Switzerland [1924 – 1928 A.D.]), who lived near Washington, DC. (Conger’s great-grandfather had been a physician in George Washington’s Continental army). Colonel Conger was reelected president of the American Section in 1939 (many years subsequent to Conger’s admittance into the magicpracticing Esoteric Section [ES] of the Theosophical Society in 1892 A.D.), and shortly thereafter he appointed Mr. Long its business manager. Mr. Long also helped Colonel Conger with the section magazine and himself edited a pocket-sized monthly, Theosophical Nuggets (from 1940-1944 A.D. and ideally suited for the G.I.’s pocket). Colonel Conger became leader of the TS (the Theosophical Society) in October 1945. That year Mr. Long was appointed a Cabinet member and, upon retirement from government service in 1947, he joined the staff of the international headquarters (consisting of the magic-practicing priesthood originally founded by Katherine Tingley), which had relocated (from Point Loma) to Covina (a suburb of Los Angeles near Point Loma), California…In December 1950, Colonel Conger sent him on a world tour in order to contact officials and members with regard to the future work of the Society. He returned just ten days before Colonel Conger’s death on February 21, 1951.” - Publisher's Foreword 1951 Tour Reports by James A. Long. MKULTRA would be initiated in the following year. Note the Theosophical Society’s high-placed military as well as U.N. and international connections. Long writes circa 1965 A.D.: “Whatever name or outer form this archaic tradition took in eras preceding the Christian (it in fact took the form of Spirit communication and the magical invocation of and the worshipping as gods the fallen angels themsleves who are by definition extraterrestrials), in lands to the north or south, east or west, from the third century AD it became known as theosophia – “wisdom of things divine,” as taught in Alexandria by Ammonius Saccas (one of the founders of Neoplatonism, circa 3rd Century A.D.). Concealed from public knowledge because of the already closing minds of the early Church Fathers (who operated from the 1st – 8th Centuries A.D.) whose theological bickerings are of record, this wisdom continued as a steady stream of guidance not alone for the Kabbalists—who studied secretly their ‘theosophy of the angels’ during the dark periods of the Middle Ages (“The Middle Ages was a period of European history from the 5th century to the 15th century. The period followed the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476.” - Wikipedia: The Middle Ages)—but acted as stimulus to the leading lights of the Renaissance (14th to the 17th century): to Paracelsus, Pico della Mirandola, Leonardo da Vinci, (Giordanao) Bruno (1548-1600 A.D. Notable Bruno Quote: “Innumerable suns exist; innumerable Earths revolve around these—living beings inhabit these worlds.” – Giordano Bruno), Kepler (Johannes Kepler, famed astrologer/astronomer/sorcerer. As we learn from science-fiction writer/33° Freemason Arthur C. Clarke on p.5 of The Promise of Space, 1968 A.D.: “Kepler lived in an age that still believed in magic, and indeed his own mother had been charged with witchcraft.” Considering the evidence, traditional and historical, one might conclude Kepler was also a sorcerer, a conjurer of fallen angels, as early astronomers/astrologers were known to be such and witchcraft is in fact hereditary in nature) and a host of other scientists, philosophers, poets and artists (all of whom were practitioners of magic from one degree to another). Was it an accident that the writings of Jakob Boehme (1575-1624 A.D.), the “Teutonic theosopher” (‘Thoth,’ in Greek rendered ‘Hermes,’ the name of an Egyptian god who represented Azazel, in German is rendered ‘Teut,’ from whence comes the word ‘Teutonic.’ A ‘Teutonic theosopher’ is the German equivalent of a Hermetic philosopher) of the sixteenth century, inspired (Louis Claude de) Saint-Martin in the 1790s to carry on a “theosophic correspondence” with a Swiss philosopher-friend (he speaks of The Theosophic corresp. between Saint-Martin (The “Unknown Philosopher”) and Kirchberger, 998

Baron de Liebistorf, Member of the Grand Council of Berne); and that these letters were reprinted in England in 1863 in the hope of reawakening interest in “the theosophic and pure Gospel science involved in these ideas?” (according to Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin’s selection in Wikipedia: “Admirers of his [Saint-Martin’s] works formed groups of Friends of St Martin which later became known as Martinists [Notable Quote: “The Martinists were Mystics and Theosophists who claimed to have the secret of communicating with (Elemental and Planetary) spirits” - The Right Angle by Geoffrey Farthing]. They were influential on the formation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.” In fact Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member/ceremonial magician A.E. Waite had translated into English a number of works by the French mystic Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin). And again, that (Ralph Waldo) Emerson and others, stimulated by the cosmic insights of the Bhagavad-Gita (“The Bhagavad Gītā (Song of God) (Author’s Note: it is not the Christian God of which it speaks) [translated by Sir Edwin Arnold under the title The Song Celestial]…is a Sanatana Dharma or Hindu scripture (Notable Quote: “The sacred writings of the Hindoos…contain many directions for invoking spirits, controlling the inferior orders, and soliciting the aid and protection of the superior.” - Art Magic)…highly praised by not only prominent Indians such as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi but also (33° Freemason) Aldous Huxley (Huxley was an acquaintance of professed Spiritist Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. Wilson was known to participate in séances using a Ouija board by which he contacted Otherworldly spirits), Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Oppenheimer is noted as having quoted the Bhagavad-Gita at the time of the first atomic blast), Ralph Waldo Emerson, Carl Jung (Jung based his brand of psychiatry in part on Hindu writings such as the Bhagavad Gītā and The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Timothy Leary’s own favorite book) and Hermann Hesse (whose novels became bestsellers on American college campuses in the mid 1960s thanks to Timothy Leary’s description of Hesse as a psychedelic Shaman in a 1963 A.D. essay appearing in the Psychedelic Review (the Psychedelic Review was the propaganda mouthpiece for MKULTRAassociated Intelligence agents and assets). During the 1920s Hermann Hesse had at one point undergone psychiatric analysis with Carl Jung [See p.128 Turn Off Your Mind by Gary Lachman], possibly due to the fact that he was as he claims in his Autobiographical Writings, oft accompanied by an “angel or demon” of which he himself was wont “to obey.”). It is considered among the most important texts in the history of literature and philosophy.” Wikipedia: Bhagavad Gītā), spearheaded the (Harvard College-based) Transcendentalist movement in America in the 1830’s? (“Transcendentalism was rooted in the transcendental philosophy of Spiritist Immanuel Kant [Notable Kantianesque quote: “(Immanuel) Kant admitted not only the possibility of the existence of a spiritual conscious world, but also the possibility of communion with it.” - Chapter XVI Tertium Organum, by P.D. Ouspensky, 1922 A.D.])…Another major influence was the mystical spiritualism of Emanuel Swedenborg (the influential Christian theologian seer/military engineer Emanuel Swedenborg exclaimed: “There are two worlds; a spiritual world where spirits and angels are; and a natural world where men are.” See Canons Chapter IV.2 (Swedenborg, 1769 A.D). Swedenborg wrote in Spiritual Diary circa. the 18th century A.D.: “THAT THE PRIVILEGE OF CONVERSING WITH SPIRITS AND ANGELS MIGHT BE COMMON AND APPROPRIATE TO MAN. Man was so created that he might hold interaction with spirits and angels.”).” – Wikipedia: Transcendentalism. Transcendentalism was greatly akin to the Spiritist/Spiritualist Movements)…Toward the end of the eighteenth century, coincident with the American and French Revolutions (revolutions instigated by militant Freemasons of course, high-degree members of which are practitioners of magic), the first major crack in the religious isolationism (instituted by the perennial foe of such practitioners of magic, namely, the Roman Catholic Church which had been in the habit of executing witches and other such Spiritualists and practitioners of magic) which had dominated Europe occurred with the breakthrough into Western intellectual circles of the rich philosophic content of Oriental literature (a reference to the goings on during the Age of Enlightenment: “The Age of Enlightenment [or simply the Enlightenment] is the era in Western philosophy, intellectual, scientific and cultural life, 999

centered upon the 18th century, in which reason was advocated as the primary source for legitimacy and authority [as opposed to the traditional supreme authority of the popes of the Roman Catholic Church]. It is also known as the Age of Reason…Developing simultaneously in France, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the American colonies [due to secretive and concerted Freemasonic efforts], the movement culminated in the Atlantic Revolutions [over 20 such revolutions in number including our American Revolution], especially the success of the American Revolution, which resulted in independence from the British Empire. The authors of the American Declaration of Independence, the United States Bill of Rights, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and the Polish–Lithuanian Constitution of May 3, 1791, were motivated by Enlightenment principles.” – Wikipedia: Age of Enlightenment). But it was not until the closing decades (at the height of the Spiritualist Movement, where séances were held in an effort to converse with the spirit/angelic world) of the nineteenth century that the vivifying force (which force being the Theosophical Society founded in 1875 A.D.), reaching every corner of the thinking world (international, even global, in scope), gained sufficient momentum to carry over into our present (20th) century. This impetus was climaxed by the publication of The Secret Doctrine by (Theosophical Society-founder) H. P. Blavatsky in 1888, her comprehensive examination of the world’s (not only Christian) sacred literatures revealing that the key thoughts in all of them were as jewels strung on one golden thread: man’s divine origin and destiny.” - Introduction to Expanding Horizons by James A. Long, 1965 A.D. Notable residents of Pasadena, California include Nobel prize physicist and Caltech (visiting) Professor Albert Einstein (who according to his niece kept a copy of H. P. Balvatsky’s The Secret Doctrine on his desk), the rocket scientist/occultist Jack Parsons, and student of Rosicucianism/member of AMORC Sirhan Sirhan, resident of Pasadena at the time of his assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Classic occurances of occult Overshadowing? You make the call. Another California occult connection is the Dutch I.S.I.S. Foundation (International Study centre for Independent Search for truth) which is connected to the Theosophical Society Point Loma - Covina, in California. Isis is of course the name of an Egyptian goddess who represented Azazel’s human wife. To an interested individual looking “For information about the activities of The Theosophical Society and I.S.I.S. Foundation,” one is directed to the “Blavatsky House, De Ruyterstraat 74, 2518 AV, The Hague, The Netherlands.” According to their website, “the I.S.I.S. foundation” is “the external holding of the Theosophical Society.” The website explains: “The Theosophical Society is part of a universal (universal in that the rebellion it represents includes members of our Earth as well as those of other planets! Theosophical Society members in effect have consciously joined the fallen angels in their rebellion against God), ethical and intellectual Movement (read: the Theosophical Movement), which has been active throughout the ages. This Movement brought forth, in accordance with the cyclic laws of Nature, spiritual impulses (code for the technical use of Overshadowing and mind manipulation techniques), which gave the initial impetus to the great religious and philosophical systems, produced by humanity. Sages such as Lao Tze, Krishna, (Gautama) Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth (in the case of Jesus they are quite gravely mistaken), Plato and many others who brought forth these impulses (this particular belief is known as ‘Monism’). They tried to divulge, time and again, age-old Theosophy to the people and they did this always in a form most suitable for that time and place in which they lived,” with one stated goal of the organization being: “To study ancient and modern religion, science, and philosophy...” (read: the purpose of the organization was to study magic). It would seem Behemoth itself represents their mysterious “International Headquarters of the Leader” Azazel. The Theosophical Society magazine "Lucifer - the Messenger of Light" is a publication of the I.S.I.S. Foundation of the Dutch division of The Theosophical Society (Point Loma/The Hague) which today appears bi-monthly. Lectures are to this day given on subjects associated with Theosophy at The Hague, the judicial capital of the United Nations (with the establishment of the League of Nations, The Hague became the seat of the Permanent Court of International Justice, which was replaced by the U.N.’s 1000

International Court of Justice after World War II. [Pertinent Quote: “…the League of Nations would become the United Nations and would itself be full of Freemasons in positions of the highest authority.” – Angels, Demons and Freemasons: The True Conspiracy, 2008 A.D.]). The Hague is the world’s second U.N. city after New York City, New York, U.S.A., a great Kabbalistic city in itself. The U.N. was founded interestingly enough in 1945 A.D., 70 years after the establishment of the Theosophical Society in America in 1875 A.D. there in New York City by Spiritualist’s H.P. Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott and the ceremonial magician William Quan Judge and many other like-minded practitioners of magic. The U.N. logo employs an eight-point compass rose (in the form of “the disk”), which esoterically represents Azazel (See Appendix A). For Biblical prophecies concerning the United Nations, see Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles) (California is also home to the Mount Shasta New Agers made famous through the “I AM” activities of theosophist Guy Ballard whose teachings were basically a new Rosicrucian rehash of old St. Germain/Lemuria legends. Mount Shasta has additionally been the site of numerous UFO sightings. As we learn from p.373 The Gods of Eden by William Bramley, attracting a large following during the late 1930s to the early 1940s: “The I AM movement created by Mr. Ballard preached a Judgment Day philosophy” and held that the Ascended Masters [who are incarnate fallen angels] had infiltrated the police and Intelligence agencies of various Aryan countries amongst which most notably were those organizations to be found in America. As Bramley additionally notes: “The I AM has inspired several splinter groups. One such group is the ‘Summit Lighthouse,’ which is currently the largest of the I AM groups, even though it is not recognized by, nor formally affiliated with, the original I AM organization discussed in this chapter. Headquartered in Malibu, California, the Summit Lighthouse is currently [circa 1989 A.D.] led by its cofounder, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, who, along with her late husband, Mark Prophet, had reportedly been a member of another I AM splinter group called the "Bridge to Freedom" [a theosophical New Age church dedicated to the Great White Brotherhood of angels] before founding the Lighthouse. Like Ballard’s I AM, the Summit Lighthouse believes St. Germain to be an Ascended Master [an incarnate angel]. The Summit Lighthouse is worth mentioning because Ms. Prophet teaches that many UFOs are hostile to human well-being.” – Ibid p.374) Concerning the 1960’s resurgence in all things occult, author Hal Lindsey in the Introduction to his 1972 A.D. book entitled Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth, explains: “A few years ago I came face to face with a complete reversal in the academic community. An unusual change came over many who had denied any belief in the power of a supernatural God. The indifferent, the scoffers, the proud agnostics in the Age of Rationalism, began to turn to another form of the supernatural. They became involved in psychic research, parapsychology, ESP (Extra Sensory Perception), mystic philosophies, and Eastern religions. Recently there has been a resurgence in all forms of the occult! Witchcraft and Satan worship spread throughout campuses and cities. In America, a so-called civilized country, people are involved in weird (ancient magic/religious) rites and rituals.” Concerning the subject of parapsychology as Hal Lindsey additionally therein imparts: “…the occult realm has been made scientifically respectable under the academic guise of ‘parapsychology.’”

Of a most revealing note, The Society for Psychical Research (the SPR; founded in London in 1882 A.D.) tasked in such studies of parapsychology (UFO research was also a subject of SPR study and is in fact intricately interrelated with parapsychological phenomenon) included amongst its early membership many prominent philosophers, scientists, educators and politicians whose eminent ranks included 1001

none other than the most honorable Arthur James Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour, best known for his issuance of the Balfour Declaration providing for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The British SPR and its American affiliate (the New York City-based American Society for Psychical Research [ASPR] founded in 1885 A.D.) are active even today circa 2013 A.D. Notable quote: “Many prominent people in the nineteenth century participated in spiritualistic séances and discussions about the authenticity of spiritualistic phenomena. Among them were writer Bulwer Lytton, Alfred Russell Wallace (who simultaneously with Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution), famous psychologists Frederick Myers (SPR-founding member/SPR President whose Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death published in 1903 A.D. is composed of Myer’s own research into the enigmatic ‘unconscious mind,’ aka the ‘subliminal self,’ this tome being a testament to psychology’s own Spiritualist beginnings. In the annals of psychical research, the historical study of the “subliminal self,” as noted in the Introduction to The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies, “is as nessessary to the psychologist as to the folklorist.”) and William James, and politicians Arthur Balfour and William Gladstone (Theodor Herzl, an Ashkenazi Jew known as the Father of Modern Zionism, was a political ally of Prime Minister William Gladstone from whom Herzl had received his blessings for the creation of a Jewish homeland [See p.8 Perfidy by Ben Hecht]. It was Arthur Balfour who issued the Balfour Declaration providing for such a homeland for the Jews in 1917 A.D.). Gladstone, who became prime minister of Great Britain four times, showed significant interest in occult phenomena (it was Gladstone who presided over Britain at the very height of its empire upon which, it was said, the sun never set. Such occult magic practices went all the way to the very top of Britain’s civil government). He was also a member of The British Society for Psychical Research (the SPR; some researchers do not note a separation between the ASPR and the SPR but regard them as one and the same association which seems in fact to be the case. At any rate Sir Conan Doyle identifies the ASPR as being the SPR’s “American branch” and describes the SPR as being: “…the mother of many other societies…more active than itself…”). He was present at many spiritualistic séances…” – The Invisible Influences by Živorad Mihajlović Slavinski, 2008 A.D. (The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett implicate powerful British statesmen as parties complicit to the Theosophical Society Adyar venture [bending with the winds of change they recognized the undercurrents of the Indian independence movement and moved to install their own pre-groomed puppet government by subverting the Indian 1002

independence movement to their own aims, a textbook example of an Intelligence undercover organizational takeover] including William Gladstone, four-time prime minister of Great Britain (See Letter No. 134, by H.P. Blavatsky), as well as Lord Ripon (the Marquess of Ripon), George Robinson, 2nd Earl of Ripon, of Her Majesty's (Queen Victoria’s) Most Honourable Privy Council (a privy councilor is the highest rank one may attain in the British Civil Service), Viceroy in India (1880–1884 A.D.), he being preceded in office by notorious ceremonial magician Lord Lytton himself (Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s father). Lord Ripon had been the Freemasonic Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England from 1870 – 1874 A.D. (“The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) is the main governing body of freemasonry within England and Wales…It is the oldest Grand Lodge in the world.” – Wikipedia: United Grand Lodge of England). Also implicated in this plot is the prominent Freemason James Lindsay, 26th Earl of Crawford. This conspiracy in fact went all the way to the top. As we learn from Wikipedia: “The Theosophy Society - Adyar is the name of a section of the Theosophical Society founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and others in 1875. Its headquarters moved with Blavatsky and president Henry Steel Olcott to Adyar, an area of Chennai (in India, India at the time being part of the British Empire) in 1883. The designation 'Adyar' is added to clarify that this is the Theosophical Society with headquarters there, after William Quan Judge were separated by Besant and formed his own organization, known as the ‘Theosophical Society – Pasadena’ with its International Headquarters in Pasadena, California. The presidents of the Theosophical Society - Adyar have included Annie Besant, George Arundale, C. Jinarajadasa, Nilakanta Sri Ram, John Coats and Radha Burnier. US National Section of this organization is called the Theosophical Society in America located in Wheaton, Illinois.” - Wikipedia: Theosophy Society – Adyar) This brings us (circa 2011 A.D.) to Lily Dale and the Lily Dale Assembly, Inc., in Lily Dale, (upstate) New York, where one may find “the world’s oldest and largest spirit community” (with no less than 40 registered Spiritualist mediums) which according to the LDA website: “Since it was established in 1879, Lily Dale has been the world’s largest center for spiritual development and the practice of the Spiritualist religion.” Lily Dale itself is home to “the Lily Dale Spiritualist Church,” one of a “growing network of Spiritualist churches, schools and camps throughout the United States and Canada.” As we learn from Wikipedia: “Lily Dale is a spiritualist community of the Modern Spiritualist movement located in Chautauqua County, New York, USA…Lily Dale became the center of the Spiritualist movement when the childhood home of Kate and Margaret Fox (the infamous Fox Sisters) was moved from Hydesville, New York to Lily Dale in 1916. This established Lily Dale as the home of Spiritualism in the United States, although other communities, such as Summerville, California (now an uninhabited ‘ghost town,’ pun intended), were founded on the same principles…Today Lily Dale remains a place of pilgrimage for many Spiritualists and others interested in the paranormal.” – Wikipedia: Lily Dale, New York. The magic practicing Freemasonic Spiritualist Theosophical Society-member Arthur Conan Doyle was a prominent guest at Lily Dale (as was Doyle’s friend, the Stage Magician Harry Houdini. Guest lecturers at Lily Dale have included the Wiccan author and Spiritualist Raymond Buckland). In the words of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself, the Spiritualist Movement is “the most important in the history of the world since the Christ episode” (See his Introduction to The History of Spiritualism Vol.I, 1926 A.D.).

Spiritualists teach that many planets in our universe are inhabited. Lectures one may attend at Lily Dale include those with a UFO/extraterrestrial subject line. Tens of thousands of visitors/attendees pass through Lily Dale on a yearly basis. It must also be noted that the magic practicing Freemasonic Spiritualist and Theosophical Society member Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was also at one 1003

time president of the College of Psychic Studies.** As we learn from Wikipedia: “The College of Psychic Studies (founded in 1884 as the London Spiritualist Alliance) is a non-profit organization based in South Kensington, London (Kensington is home to the Society for Psychical Research and as Francis King illumines in The Rebirth of Witchcraft p.131, Kensington was home to a temple lodge of the Stella Matutina as well. As King additionally explains therein, Spiritualist séances played an essential role in Golden Dawn/Stella Matutina ritual and no doubt all of these organizations had mutual associations as well). They are dedicated to the study of spiritual phenomenon (such as séances involving communication with Otherworldly spirits). Gerald Balfour, the second Earl of Balfour, founded the college in 1884. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a former president of the college through the 1920s (Doyle also being President D'Honneur de la Federation Spirite Internationale** located in France [**the International Spiritualist Federation, an umbrella group of associated Spiritualist organizations which provides annual courses in Spirit mediumship]). In the 1960’s, after a revival in spiritualism, the College associated itself with the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), collecting thousands of case files.” This College is still in existence today. In, fact, in Chapter 9 of Gerald B. Gardner’s biography entitled Gerald Gardner, Witch, we learn of an early experience which he had had with a group of Spiritualist mediums at this very same London Spiritualist Alliance which as he notes proved to be a watershed moment in his life and which experience as he explains cemented his own belief in the phenomenon known as Spiritualism, an encounter which had propelled him gloriously onward to the creation of the magical witchcraft tradition known to us today as Gardnerian Wicca, that at that very moment of his life he became a dedicated Spiritualist (Gardner also became, as we learn from his book entitled The Meaning of Witchcraft, a member of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). The SPR has long been a hive for British Intelligence operatives with Illuminati allegiances). (**Arthur Conan Doyle was well versed in occult phenomenon and its history, he being an early occult investigator, a ghost hunter of sorts, and hence the title of his book, The History of Spiritualism [Vol. I, 1926 A.D.] in which he writes concerning Emanuel Swedenborg: “From the day of his [Emanuel Swedenborg’s] first vision he continued until his death, twenty-seven years later, to be in constant touch with the other world. ‘The same night the world of spirits, hell and heaven, were convincingly opened to me, where I found many persons of my acquaintance of all conditions. Thereafter the lord daily opened the eyes of my spirit to see in perfect wakefulness what was going on in the other world, and to converse, broad awake, with angels and spirits.’” As Swedenborg confides in his book Heaven and Hell: “…angels speak spiritually with me 1004

from heaven, they speak just as intelligently as the man by my side.” Swedenborg even professed an ability “…to talk with angels and spirits; and this I have now been doing for many years without a break.” - True Christian Religion. And again in Spiritual Diary: “It is to be held in general, that all things, which I have written in this book, are written, wholly from living experience from conversation with spirits and angels, from thought [by telepathy], like tacit speech, communicated [to me], also, I wrote when of the things insinuated by them who were then together, they experienced them to the fullest extent; and under their direction as to thoughts, writings, hand, so that everything which in these three books, and elsewhere is written, though occasionally incoherent, still pertains to experience, and everything in its manner [proceed] from spirits or angels [transcribed through a process known as ‘automatic writing’]; this is likewise directed by spirits next my head, for I have as often perceived their presence. - 1748, August 23.” - Spiritual Diary. Emanuel Swedenborg was a military engineer and a great authority in his time on astronomy and physics (also known as ‘natural magic’). Astronomy in his day went hand and hand with astrology and ceremonial magic and included the practice of the invocation of angels, an activity into which the Christian Cabalist Emanuel Swedenborg no doubt himself had heavily delved. Swedenborgian Spiritualism itself was born of Cabalism) The founder of the institution which Theosophical Society-member Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would later head, namely, the London Spiritual Alliance, was Gerald Balfour who was none other than the younger brother of British Prime Minister Arthur James Balfour, issuer of the Balfour Declaration. Gerald Balfour was married to Lady Elizabeth Edith Balfour, the daughter of Robert Bulwer-Lytton (who served as Viceroy of India from 1876 – 1880 A.D.), whose sister was Lady Emily Bulwer-Lytton (1874–1964 A.D.), an associate of J. Krishnamurti of Theosophical Society fame. J. Krishnamurti was associated with leading Theosophical Society members C. W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant. Lady Emily BulwerLytton was related to Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a friend of the French ceremonial magician Eliphas Levi, who was a member of a French chapter of the Theosophical Society. Edward Bulwer-Lytton was Grand Patron (1871-73 A.D.) of the Metropolitan College of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA), a magic practicing group composed of Master Masons, members of which gave birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Famous Golden Dawn member (and British Intelligence agent) Aleister Crowley was a long-time associate of Gardnerian Wicca founder Gerald B. Gardner. Both Aleister Crowley and Gerald B. Gardner were known Freemasons as well as co-members in the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) (and, as we shall learn, the Crowley-associated Jack Parsons would later head a Pasadena-based order of the OTO (recall Pasadena was home to the Theosophical Society - Pasadena), where he associated in magical workings with Church of Scientology-founder L. Ron Hubbard who was himself a member of U.S. Naval Intelligence). It must also be noted the daughter of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (whose own fictional writings are peppered with occult themes), Dame Jean Conan Doyle, served as honorary Aide-de-Camp (by definition a participant in ceremonial functions, even, perhaps one may venture, of a ceremonial magic nature) to Queen Elizabeth II.** Elementary my dear Watson. Elementary. (** Pertinent Quote: “One of the ancestors of our present queen [Queen Elizabeth II], Janet Douglas, Lady Glamis, was burned as a witch. Her execution took place in 1537 on the Castle Hill at Edinburgh. She was accused of having plotted to take away the life of King James V of Scotland, by poison and witchcraft.” – pp.333-4 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present by Doreen Valiente. Witchcraft is in fact quite hereditary in nature. Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, has been the Freemasonic Grandmaster [of the magic-practicing degrees] for England and Wales since 1967 A.D. and is as well a Knight of the Order of the Garter which is in essence a witch’s coven [See Appendix A])

To quote in part Mr. Hal Lindsey, I must say, the study of 1005

Witchcraft and Shamanism in a like way “has been made scientifically respectable under the academic guise of” Anthropology and under such headings as Sociology, Archaeology, Philosophy, Psychology, Ethnology, Ethnomusicology, and the Humanities (and in many of its aspects, Ecology/Human Ecology) as well (many prominent anthropologists you will find are true practitioners of magic). Now back to Wicca witchcraft founder Gerald B. Gardner (who was himself an anthropologist/archaeologist [as well as a government official of the British Empire]; Gardner famously assisted James Leslie Starkey in the Lachish excavations, including the excavation of temples devoted to Baal [Azazel] and Astaroth [Azazel’s human wife], names familiar to readers of The Bible as many of the religious practices resurrected by these individuals are the very ones God had so systematically as therein related, destroyed. Gardner was also an associate of anthropologist Margaret Alice Murray who wrote a number of texts on the subject of witch cults [and who was herself like Gerald B. Gardner a magic practicing witch], she even writing the Introduction for one of Gardener’s books on magic) and the British “occult revival” which one might successfully argue was equally the continuation of a long underground and secretive magic tradition passed down from generation to generation amongst the highest ranking members of the majestic English nobility: “Having looked at the development of the magical orders which resulted from the British occult revival of the 19 th and 20th Centuries, we can see where this ties in with Wicca and (Gerald B.) Gardner’s claim of traditional initiation (into an English coven of magic practicing witches; a coven is a circle of 13 witches [from Latin conventus, a cult-group composed of 13 people], male and/or female: “The ‘fixed number’ among the witches of Great Britain seems to have been thirteen: twelve witches and their officer.” - The Witch Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray, University College, London, 1921 A.D. ).” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition: “Julia Phillips is a Wiccan High Priestess whose experience includes running both Covens and magical lodges in London (England), Sydney, and Melbourne (in Australia). Her formal study of the occult began in 1971, when she began to attend lectures at the Society of Psychical Research in London.” And she is not the only high-placed Wiccan to have an association with the Society of Psychical Research, as Gardner himself, the veritable father of Wicca, was also a member of the SPR) (Pertinent Quote: “The word coven is a derivative of ‘convene,’ and is variously spelt coven, coeven, covine, cuwing, and even covey [of which ‘Covina’ is also a cognate. Covina is, as we must remember, the name given to the place where was relocated the international headquarters of the Theosophical Society near Point Loma in California]. The 1006

special meaning of the word among the witches is a ‘band’ or ‘company,’ who were set apart for the practice of the rites of the religion and for the performance of magical ceremonies [and such was the case with Covina in California]; in short, a kind of priesthood. The Coven [of witches] was composed of men and women, belonging to one district, though not necessarily all from one village, and was ruled by an officer under the command of the Grand Master. The members of the Coven were apparently bound to attend the weekly Esbat [“The Esbat differed from the Sabbat by being primarily for business...very often the Esbat was for sheer enjoyment only”]; and it was they who were instructed in and practiced magical arts, and who performed all the rites and ceremonies of the cult.” - The Witch Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray, University College, London, 1921 A.D. So Covina was where was located the magic practicing ‘priesthood’ of the Theosophical Society itself) (The Junto Club established by Benjamin Franklin and which consisted of Franklin and twelve of his friends, bringing the total number to 13, is, meaningfully enough, the exact number of witches in a traditional witch’s coven. As history reveals, Franklin established the American Philosophical Society; philosophical studies of the day included the study and practice of magic and witchcraft. Franklin was also a Freemason of the very highest degree, attaining the executive position of Grand Master (read: High-Priest). High-degree Freemasonic ritualistic practices include magic and witchcraft, which practice involves the invocation of fallen angels. That the Junto Club was in all probability such a witches’ coven is not outside the realm of possibilities, this also being true of those Juntos modeled upon it, and implies complicity with those individuals closely associated with its members)

Magic, which involves the invocation of fallen angels, is practiced in high-degree Freemasonry: “The (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn was not the only influence upon (Gerald B.) Gardner (Gardner was a friend of Aleister Crowley. Indeed: “Gardner** has a charter issued by Crowley, authorizing him to perform the Rites of the O.T.O.” - Gerald Gardner, Witch). Freemasonry has also had a tremendous impact upon the Wicca. Not only were the three founders of Isis-Urania Temple (of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) Masons, so too were (Aleister) Crowley (a 33° Freemason) and Arthur Waite (A.E. Waite). Gardner and at least

one member of the first (Wicca witches) Coven, Edith WoodfordGrimes, were both Co-Masons (members of Masonic lodges first established by Theosophical Society president Annie Besant).” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition (You’ll be happy to learn hundreds of these associated Co-Masonic lodges have been established in America as well and have been operating now for over one hundred years) (** It is possible Gerald B. Gardner is related in some way to Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-members Joseph Knight Gardner and Frederick Leigh Gardner. Frederick Leigh Gardner was additionally a Freemason, a member of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia [which gave birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn] and a member of the Theosophical Society as well)

Indubitably: “It is vital to understand that this past interchange between Masonry and these various occult groups did not stop in the 18th century. If anything, it has grown more prominent in the past century. There is 1007

something about the Lodge that has always attracted sorcerers. The historical list of occultists and Witches in the last century who were Freemasons reads like a Who’s Who of 20th century occultism: Arthur Edward Waite—occult writer and Masonic historian; Dr. Wynn Westcott—member of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia and founding member of the occult (Hermetic) Order of the Golden Dawn—the most influential magical society of the 19th - early 20th century (but not, as must be noted, the only one); S. L. MacGregor Mathers—co-founder of the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn; Aleister Crowley—master Satanist of this century and founder of the anti-christ religion of Thelema—claimed to be “The Great Beast 666;” Dr. Gerard Encaussé—(Papus) masterful author, teacher of the Tarot and leader of the occult Martiniste society (“Gerard Encausse (July 13, 1865 - 25 October 1916), whose esoteric pseudonym was Papus, was the Spanish-born French physician, hypnotist, and popularizer of occultism, who founded the modern Martinist Order [French Illuminist Freemasonry] (Illuminati)…As a young man, Encausse spent a great deal of time at the Bibliothèque Nationale (the National Library in Paris, France) studying the Kabbalah, occult tarot, the sciences of magic and alchemy, and the writings of (French ceremonial magician) Eliphas Lévi. He joined the French Theosophical Society shortly after it was founded by Madame Blavatsky in 1884 – 1885 (Papus also connects to Madame Blavatsky and Anna Kingsford through a mutual friend, Mary Lady Caithness [wife of the Duc de Pomar] who’s Paris palace as we learn from Stephan A. Hoeller’s Wise Men of the East contained: “…an ornate chapel in which occult activities were carried out.”)… In 1888, he cofounded his own group, the Kabbalistic Order of the Rose-Croix (an associated Rosicrucian group)… Encausse was also a member of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light (a utopian commune, such places serve as headquarters/command centers for the group’s intrigues. Also known as Luxor and the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, this organization included Madame Blavatsky and Col. Henry S. Olcott amongst its ranks. H.B.L. was founded by Spiritualist sex-magician Pashal Beverly Randolph) and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn temple (the Ahathoor Temple) in Paris (where S.L. Macgregor Mathers himself held sway), as well as Memphis-Misraim (a major militant Freemasonic group) and probably other esoteric or paramasonic organizations, as well as being an author of several occult books.” – Wikipedia: Gérard Encausse) (One of the secrets passed 1008

down during the high-degree rituals of the Masonic Rite of Memphis is the existence of the “genii” which “dwell under the earth” [See The Secret High Degree Rituals of the Masonic Rite of Memphis p.26 by John Yarker, 1911 A.D]: “John Yarker (17 April 1833 - 20 March 1913) was an English Freemason, author, and occultist… In 1872 Yarker established the Sovereign Sanctuary of the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Masonry for England and Ireland under the authority of a Patent issued by the American Grand Master of that organization,** Harry (J.) Seymour (** the organization was headquartered at No. 19 West Eleventh Street in the Greenwich Village area of Manhattan in New York City [as a point of reference, the Weathermen’s bomb making laboratory during the 1960s was located across the street in house No. 18, and Hollywood actor Dustin Hoffman lived kitty-corner to it in house No. 16. Writers and artists as varied as Theosophical Society-member Mark Twain, Leonard Bernstein and Theosophical Society-member Thornton Wilder had once lived and worked for a time on this very same street. The revolutionary Freemasonic Sons of Liberty group itself, it must be noted, had also been born there in the Manhattan section of New York City]). According to Gnostic Bishop Stephan A. Hoeller, Yarker also got involved with the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) and is attributed as the link between this organization and regular Freemasonry (which likely places the location of Aleister Crowley’s OTO lodge there at No. 19 West Eleventh Street). According to Hoeller, Yarker was bestowed with the authority to confer degrees of the Scottish Rite as well as the (the Scottish) Rite of Memphis-Misraim.” – Wikipedia: John Yarker); Dr. Theodore Reuss (a druggist/apothecary/German spy)—head of the O.T.O., a German occult/satanic society which made (Aleister) Crowley its head for the British Isles; George Pickingill (1816-1909 A.D.) —the Grand Master Witch of 19th century England, leader of the “Pickingill covens” (Pickingill is what is known as a cunning man. “The cunning folk [men and women] in Britain were professional or semi-professional practitioners of magic...” - Wikipedia: Cunning folk in Britain. The magician Aleister Crowley was said to have been a Pickingill initiate. It must be noted the pop-icon magic-man Harry Potter© is a British invention the result of a long tradition of magic practices in the English Isles designed to instill an early interest in magic and not just a harmless whimsical creation.

Wedgwood [whose father, Josiah Wedgwood II (who’s own father, Hensleigh Wedgwood of the famous Wedgwood Pottery family, was a Spiritualist/associate of T.H. Huxley), was a cousin of Charles Darwin (his sister Emma was even married to Charles Darwin). J.I. Wedgwood’s cousin Josiah Wedgwood IV, 1st Baron Wedgwood, was a Labour party politician who would serve in Fabian Society-member/Labour P.M.

In 1972 A.D. a witch high-priestess in both the Gardnerian and Alexandrian traditions named Mary Nesnick would fuse the two disciplines into a system of witchcraft known as Algard Wicca).” Freemasonry: The Witchcraft Connection by William J. Schnoebelen, exemplary of your typical high-degree magic practicing Freemason: “William Schnoebelen was deeply involved in both Witchcraft as a Wiccan high priest and the Masonic order for many years. He was a Mason for nine years and a Witch for sixteen years. In the Lodge, he held offices of Junior Warden in the Blue Lodge [with which the Illuminati are associated], Prelate in the Commandery of the York Rite, Master of the Veil in the Royal Arch degree, and Associate Patron in the Order of the Eastern Star [whose logo incorporates a Satanic pentagram]. Additionally, he was a 32° Mason and a Shriner [a member of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine].” As we learn from the Shriner’s website, the organization itself was established in 1870 A.D., in Manhattan, New York by “a charter member of the Royal Order of Scotland’s the Provincial Grand Lodge U.S.A.” [an invitation only Freemasonic honor society] who would in 1878 A.D. be a co-member of that organization “along with the legendary but controversial Illustrious Albert Pike, 33°.” Note the Shriner’s association to the Carbonari. One of the men associated with the founding of the Shriners was a man named 1010

Walter M. Fleming—the Fleming family name surfaces again and again amongst Illuminati conspiratorialists) (“The Sanders [Alex and Maxine Sanders, co-founders of the Alexandrian Wicca witchcraft strain] became household names [in England] during the late sixties and early seventies. The Sanders ran their coven and taught classes on Witchcraft. A record of the initiation of Janet Owen [later named Janet Farrar after her marriage to Alexandrian Wicca witch/screenwriter (a screenwriter for Associated British Pathѐ whose parent company, the Associated British Picture Corporation, was partly owned by Warner Bros©)/author/British Army vet Stewart Farrar, creator of the Discovering Witchcraft series of films. Stewart Farrar was a friend of Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman, a former Intelligence agent with the Ministry of Information whose teachers included T.S. Elliot and C.S. Lewis and whose associates included W.H. Auden and Louis MacNeice (all of whom it may be assumed were British Intelligence assets as well)], ‘A Witch is Born,’ was released in 1970. The Sanders’ coven also appeared in ‘Legend of the Witches’ (1970), ‘Witchcraft ’70’ (1970) and ‘Secret Rites’ (1971). A biography of Alex appeared in 1969 (King of the Witches, by June Johns); biographies of Maxine appeared in 1976 (Maxine: The Witch Queen) and 1977 (The Ecstatic Mother, by Richard Deutch).” – Wikipedia: Maxine Sanders. As may be ascertained from the Alexandrian Book of Shadows, Alex and Maxine Sanders invoked the fallen angel Azazel under his guise of Cernunnos, the Horned God of the witches. Alex Sanders claims to have initiated American actress Sharon Tate into Witchcraft when Tate appeared in the Eye of the Devil, an occult-themed British film [complete with Black Mass and the traditional ritual sacrifice of a first born son] filmed in London in 1966 A.D. for which Alex Sanders served as technical advisor [See p.81 The Family by Ed Sanders, 1971 A.D.]. Sharon Tate [who likely underwent the same initiation as Janet Owen] was a witch in the very arcane occult sense of the word [and thusly one must not overlook the ritualistic aspect of the sacrifice of Sharon Tate together with her first-(un)born son: “In studying the cult of the witches, plain and irrefragable proof is found that the personage called by Christian writers ‘the Devil’ … To this deity they made sacrifices of various kinds, the most important of such sacrifices being that of a child. The child was either a witch’s child, or was unbaptised…” - Child-Sacrifice among European Witches (Man, Vol. 18, [April 1918], p.60) by Margarett Alice Murray. Tate’s child was both. Mothers, in the name of the Christian God, baptize your children!]. As investigative journalist Maury Terry relates in The Ultimate Evil, the ‘British warlock’: “(Alex) Sanders, who said he studied under master black magician Aleister Crowley himself, was connected to OTO and other cult activity in Britain.” Sharon Tate at her initiation became an OTO witch in the Alexandrian Wicca tradition. At any rate: “Alexander Sanders himself is descended from a long line of Welsh witches and was initiated as a child [initiations involve sexual intercourse] by his [witch] grandmother [an initiation taking place in 1933 A.D. As Sanders explained in an interview with fellow witch Hans Holzer concerning his initiation into witchcraft: “My first sex act was performed with my grandmother, when I was not quite ten years old.” (See Witchcraft p.176)]. In 1965 he [Alex Sanders] was elected ‘King of the Witches’ of the 1,623 witches then attached to his coven, a title last held in the fifteenth century by Owain Glyndwr, the last independent Prince of Wales, [the Prince of Wales has traditionally in fact under the Order of the Garter (organized as Knights of the Garter—note the military tie-in) been head of a witch’s coven since 1348 A.D. (See Appendix A)] from whom Sanders believes he is descended.” – p.8 King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders by June Johns, 1969 A.D. Alex Sanders was the rich man’s witch, the darling of the ‘jet set’ including extravagantly rich British homosexuals [including a number of British M.P.s] who were involved in the occult; Sanders hobnobbed in an occult circle inhabited by British viscounts and magistrates, and doctors and lawyers, with mafiosa, with actors and actresses, directors and producers and all sorts of entertainers as well [including the band The Rolling Stones, the members of which were witches as well], the highlight of whose parties was masochistic sex-magic and assorted drug-fuelled orgies. This was London in the Swinging ’60s. Sharon Tate and Co. would continue this tradition in occult L.A. with her British director husband Roman Polanski and friends which would eventually culminate in her 1011

silencing sacrifice by fellow practitioners of magic) The SRIA, the Theosophical Society, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Crowley’s A.:A.:, the OTO, the Ancient Order of the Druids and Rudolph Steiner’s Anthroposophical Society were all interrelated: “The true Occult Order (sometimes called the Great White Brotherhood and by Crowley the A.’.A.’.) manifested in the West in 1866 as the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn. Before this specific manifestation the Brotherhood (headed by its Secret Chiefs, the fallen angels) numbered among its openly unavowed representatives such authorities as Sir Edward BulwerLytton, Eliphas Levi,** Fred Hockley*** (a Rosicrucian Spiritualist/practitioner of magic possessed of a substantial library of magic books who was a friend of fellow SRIA-member William Wynn Wescott, co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), Kenneth (R. H.) Mackenzie (a founding-member of the SRIA, Mackenzie had been a student of Francis Barrett at Barrett’s Magic Academy at Marylebone in London), Gerald Massey (one-time Chief of the Ancient Order of Druids in England, Massey wrote for and submitted articles which appeared in the Theosophical Society’s Lucifer magazine), Fabre d’Olivet (d’Olivet’s interest in Pythagoreanism sparked a revival which later influenced many French occultists such as Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre and Eliphas Levi and New Age Spirtitualists including Gerald Encausse [Papus]), and others (including Dr. Karl Kellner; Kellner was also an initiate of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light). (The British) Bulwer-Lytton links up historically with the continental Adepts (in Europe), Eliphas Levi (a member of the Theosophical Society in France), Gerard Encausse (Papus) (Encausse was also a member of the Theosophical Society in France), Rudolph Steiner (a member of the Theosophical Society in Germany) and Franz Hartmann (it was Hartmann it is said who initiated Rudolph Steiner into the OTO; Theosophical Society-founder H.P. Blavatsky also corresponded with Hartmann) – celebrated names in Western Occultism. These collateral continental elements constituted what was once known as the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light (the Fratres Lucis, a direct descendent of the OTO).” – The Magickal Revival by Kenneth Grant, 1972 A.D. (** “Eliphas Levi was born in France in 1810. [Former] Roman Catholic priest and magician, Levi was not ashamed to announce that he was a witch and could conjure up spirits. Later he revealed his methods to an English occult group led by [Edward] Bulwer Lytton, the novelist. Soon half a dozen similar societies had sprung up. The members dabbled in magic and witchcraft, black and white, the former for revenge and even murder, the latter for healing, divination and self-preferment. By the time Levi died in 1875, he had paved the way for a renaissance in witchcraft.” - King of the Witches: The World of Alex Sanders by June Johns, 1969 A.D. Aleister Crowley, born in 1875 A.D., himself claimed to be Eliphas Levi reincarnated) (*** “[Frederick] Hockley is claimed as a member of another very shadowy Rosicrucian group, which may have formed the model for the [Hermetic Order of the] Golden Dawn: the Fratres Lucis [which translates as Brotherhood of Light], also known either as the Brotherhood of the Cross of Light or the Order of the Swastika [as well as the Asiatic Brethren and the Brotherhood of Illuminati]. The Fratres Lucis had its origins in 1873...The objects of the Order were the study and practice of ‘natural magic, Mesmerism, the science of life and death, immortality, Cabala, alchemy, necromancy, astrology and magic in all its branches.’” p.22 The Rosicrucian Seer: Magical Writings of Frederick Hockley, 1986 A.D.) Frederick Hockley injected a Christian theme into his magic practices (by definition, Cabala), employing a Magic Mirror to converse with his “Guardian Spirit” which he called the “Crowned Angel of the Seventh Sphere” and was also known for “invoking the spirits of both Angels and his Rosicrucian predecessors who had crossed the Great Divide” of death. Hockley was by definition a Spiritualist and a ceremonial magician as well. Hockley’s own metaphysical findings as contained in his Crystall MSS (the Crystall MSS were Hockley’s transcripts of his conversations with the Crowned Angel) which were presented before the 1012

Committee of the London Dialectical Society [which was devoted to the study of the paranormal] in 1869 A.D. [See The Rosicrucian Seer: Magical Writings of Frederick Hockley p.15], on which board sat the Spiritualist, Charles Bradlaugh (in 1874 A.D. Annie Besant would become a vice-president of Charles Bradlaugh’s National Secular Society, a position she held prior to becoming President of the Theosophical Society in London). Upon Hockley’s death in 1885 A.D., a large portion of Hockley’s extensive library of magic books was acquired by the London second-hand book seller/publisher George Redway [Ibid p.14]. George Redway notably enough published American ceremonial magician A.E. Waite’s Real History of the Rosicrucians (1886 A.D.) as well as his exposѐ Devil-Worship in France (1896 A.D.) (It was A.P. Sinnett who first introduced A.E. Waite to George Redway [See p.48 The Alchemist of the Golden Dawn, Ellie Howe]. A.E. Waite also provided translations of various magical/alchemical manuscripts including The Turba Philosophorum [1896 A.D.] which would also be published under the George Redway imprint in London). A.E. Waite was himself a friend of horror fiction writer Arthur Machen. Arthur Machen ties in with S.L. Macgregor Mathers also through George Redway (also known as George William Redway, 1859-1934 A.D., though more famously known as British Army Major G.W. Redway, author of a number of books on military campaign strategy and tactics including Fredericksburg, a Study in War [1906 A.D.] and The War of Secession, 1861-1862 [1910A.D.]) for whom both individuals provided services, Arthur Machen as his assistant (a cataloguer and magazine editor) and S.L. Macgregor Mathers as a manuscript translator (See p.26-27 The Rosicrucian Seer: Magical Writings of Frederick Hockley, 1986 A.D. One of Mather’s earliest manuscript translations was in fact a French military manual the title of which was Practical Instruction in Infantry Campaigning Exercise [1884 A.D.]). A.E. Waite, Arthur Machen and S.L. Macgregor Mathers were [along with British spies Aleister Crowley and Algernon Blackwood] co-members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [Algernon Blackwood would himself go on to become a founding-member of the Theosophical Society in Toronto, Canada]. George Redway published books for OTO-member Franz Hartmann [including Magic, White and Black, 1886 A.D.], Anna Bonus Kingsford and Edward Maitland and was the publisher of the early editions of the Theosophical Society’s Lucifer© magazine including its inaugural issue as well as of numerous other books authored by prominent members of the Theosophical Society including Annie Besant, Colonel H.S. Olcott and A.P. Sinnett. Magic and the military as noted, are quite the curious bedfellows. George Redway was himself one of three brothers all engaged in book publishing/book selling in London. Another quite notable Redway brothers’ employee [in the employ of George Redway’s brother, W.E. Redway who published under the trade name Frank Hollings (‘Frank Hollings’ was the trading name of William Edward Redway [18661945 A.D.], the second proprietor of the Frank Hollings Bookshop)], was G.K. Chesterton [G.K. Chesterton worked for W.E. Redway’s Frank Hollings Bookshop from 1896-1902 A.D.], who was himself no stranger to the Ouija board, and friend to eminent luminaries George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells [Director of British Intelligence during WWI] and Bertrand Russell. The Redways had quite the magic-practicing British Intelligence association, of that there is no doubt. The British spy Aleister Crowley was himself at one point married to the sister of the British Director of Naval Intelligence. So when Renѐ Guenon says the Theosophical Society was itself a British Intelligence front, I would have to say no doubt Guenon was right on the money. To highlight the interrelatedness of these associations (and to show W.E. Redway had even purchased advertising from Aleister Crowley), on an advertisement page in the September 1910 A.D. issue (An. VI Vol. I. No. IV) of Aleister Crowley’s mad magic magazine ‘The Equinox: The Official Organ of the A ∴ A ∴’, Crowley therein exhorts: “To the readers of ‘The Equinox.’ --- All who are interested in Occult and Masonic Lore should write to Frank Hollings (“Frank Hollings, 7 Great Turnstile, Holborn,” which bookshop was at this time owned by George Redway’s brother, W.E. Redway) for his Catalogue of over 1,000 volumes” which list of books therein included besides magic offerings from Eliphas Levi and S.L. Macgregor Mathers: “Lucifer: A Theosophical 1013

Magazine, intended to bring to light the Hidden Things of Darkness. Edited by H. P. Blavatsky, Mabel Collins** [George Redway published Mabel Collin’s first book, The Light on the Path, in 1885 A.D.], and Annie Besant. vols. I to XVII inclusive. Scarce Set, 1877 [sic 1887] to 1896.” The Theosophical Society = British Intelligence = Illuminati) (** Mabel Collins, an alleged member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and Golden Dawnmember Aleister Crowley even shared a common friend, namely, a Black Magician/witch named Vittoria Cremers. As we learn from Wikipedia: “After having read the book Light on the Path, written by Mabel Collins though first anonymously issued in 1885, [Vittoria] Cremers felt prompted to immediately join the Theosophical Society. In 1888 she travelled to Britain to meet Madame Blavatsky. As she had been previously involved with publishing, Blavatsky asked her to take over the business side of the Theosophical journal Lucifer. Cremers was soon introduced to Mabel Collins, with whom she became firm friends… Cremers was close to [Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member] Aleister Crowley [the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn being the magic-practicing inner-circle of the Theosophical Society] and [Crowley’s magick partner] Victor Neuburg.” [For more information see The Magickal Dilemma of Victor Neuburg by Jean Overton Fuller (a member of Victor Neuburg’s poetry circle), 1965 A.D.]. Collins was interestingly enough, S.L. MacGregor Mathers’ mother’s maiden name [See p.93 The Golden Dawn Scrapbook])

Concerning books on the subject of magic which may have influenced practitioners of Wicca magic we learn: “There were numerous sources other than (Margaret Alice) Murray (academic author of illustrious books concerning the anthropological history of witchcraft including The Witch Cult in Western Europe [1921 A.D.] and The God of the Witches [1933 A.D.]), however. In 1899, Charles Godfrey Leland’s Aradia: Gospel of the Witches was published (the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-born Charles Godfrey Leland it is interesting to note played a military role in the Revolution of 1848 A.D. in France serving on the side of the Carbonari rebels as a captain in the revolution. He was also as we learn from Charles G. Leland: A Biography p.13, a friend of Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton. According to the Wiccan witch Doreen Valiente in An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present p.30: “…the witches [of Italy]…regarded Leland as one of themselves, indeed as a virtual stregone, a powerful wizard [due in part to the fact Leland had at one point resided in Florence, Italy, the stronghold of the magic-practicing De Medici family and had authored no less than three books on the subject of Gypsy magic].” Leland’s niece, the author Elizabeth Robins Pennell, was married to an American/Philadelphia author/artist named Joseph Pennell. The pair would relocate to London [where Leland resided at the time of their relocation] where their home for years would serve as a literary/artists salon which attracted the likes of author Henry James [who likely was, judging by his and his father’s associations, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn], Aubrey Beardsley [Beardsley connects to 1014

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Grand Master W.B. Yeats through their mutual friend Arthur Symons (who likely relates to Crowley’s biographer John Symons) and is alleged to have been a member of the Golden Dawn as well], Oscar Wilde [W.B. Yeats poet/novelist friend George Moore was a friend of Oscar Wilde. George Moore was descended from John Moore, a rebel leader of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 which was staged by veterans of the Illumnatiled American and French Revolutions] and George Bernard Shaw [all individuals associated with the Theosophical Society and with its magic-practicing inner circle, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]. Considering all of these facts, the Lelands were likely playing host to a Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic lodge as well, and this with Illuminati/Carbonari connections). Most of (Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member/OTO-member Aleister) Crowley’s work was available in published form during the pre- and post-war years (she speaks of WWII. Gerald B. Gardner had in fact obtained an OTO charter from Aleister Crowley in 1947 A.D. just prior to Crowley’s death and in his book High Magic’s Aid released in 1949 A.D., Gardner therein identifies himself as being an OTO member), as were the texts written and translated by (S.L.) MacGregor Mathers and (A.E.) Waite (both of whom were members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Also readily available were works such as The Magus by Francis Barrett (London, 1801 A.D.) and, of course, the many classics from which (the Father of Wicca Gerald B.) Gardner drew much inspiration.” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition (Such works by Margaret Alice Murray which may have influenced Wicca included The Witch Cult in Western Europe by Margaret Alice Murray, University College, London, 1921 A.D., and The God of the Witches also by Margaret Alice Murray, D.Lit., “Fellow of University College, London,” 1933 A.D.: “Margaret Alice Murray (13 July 1863 - 13 November 1963) was a prominent British Egyptologist and anthropologist. Primarily known for her work in Egyptology, which was “the core of her academic career,” she is also known for her propagation of the Witch-cult hypothesis, the theory that the witch trials in the Early Modern period of Christianized Europe and North America were an attempt to extinguish a surviving pre-Christian, pagan religion devoted to a Horned God [the Horned God represents Azazel]…it has had a significant effect in the origins of Neopagan religions, primarily Wicca, a faith she supported (as “She was also a believer and a practitioner of magic”). Her work in Egyptology took place largely alongside her mentor and friend, the archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie (an English Egyptologist and Fellow of the Royal Society), whom she worked alongside at University College London…In The Divine King in England, 1954 she expanded on her earlier claims there was a secret conspiracy of pagans amongst the English nobility, the same English nobility who provided the leading members of the Church.” – Wikipedia: Margaret Alice Murray. Hello? Is this bloody thing on? In defense of Dr. Murray’s theory, ceremonial magic [also known as High-Magic] was in fact the realm of the learned, rich and literate British upper classes: “The ceremonial magician had to be literate; he had to have some working knowledge of the languages in which all learned men of Europe 1015

in times past were versed, namely, Latin, Hebrew and Greek, because these were the languages of his magical books.” – Witchcraft for Today (1978 A.D.) by Doreen Valiente. Other extant ‘classic’ books on witchcraft from which Gardner may have drawn included: “The Formicarius, written 1435-1437 by Johannes Nider during the Council of Basel (the Seventeenth Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church seated in Basel, Switzerland from 1431 – 1449 A.D.) and first printed in 1475” (as a point of reference, the Roman Catholic Saint, Joan of Arc, [also known as the Witch of Domremy] was burnt as a witch by the English in 1431 A.D. before later being declared a Catholic Saint in 1920 A.D.) as well as the The Malleus Maleficarum: “The Malleus Maleficarum (Latin for “Hammer of the Wicked”) is a famous treatise on witches, written in 1486 by Heinrich Kramer, an Inquisitor of the Catholic Church, and was first published in Germany in 1487” (See Wikipedia: Formicarius/Malleus Maleficarum). “The Malleus in hand, the Pope’s encouragement guaranteed, inquisitors began springing up all over Europe.” Immersion as a test for identifying a witch hearkens back to the days of the Babylonian king Hammurabi (if not in fact, prior): “The belief in sorcery and its practice seem to have been widespread in the past. Both in ancient Egypt and in Babylonia it played a conspicuous part, as existing records plainly show. It will be sufficient to quote a short section from the Code of Hammurabi (about 2000 B.C.). It is there prescribed, “If a man has put a spell upon another man and it is not justified, he upon whom the spell is laid shall go to the holy river; into the holy river shall he plunge. If the holy river overcome him and he is drowned, the man who put the spell upon him shall take possession of his house. If the holy river declares him innocent and he remains unharmed the man who laid the spell shall be put to death. He that plunged into the river shall take possession of the house of him who laid the spell upon him.” – Wikipedia: Witchcraft. I believe this harkens back to at least the days of the Egyptian black-magic priesthood whose legends of the god Osiris, who was in actuality Behemoth/Azazel, also known as Tahuti the sorcerer god of magic, the purported Magus Extraordinaire who had been successfully ‘killed,’ according to ancient legend, by being “drowned.” Guilty as charged! This legend [and practice] was an outgrowth of the story of Azazel’s entombment within the earth at the time of the Biblical Flood) (Another individual who had had a profound effect on Wicca was the famous British witch Sybil Leek [née Falk, a shortening of Falinsky[: “Sybil Leek (February 22, 1917 - October 26, 1982) was an English witch, astrologer, psychic, and occult author. She wrote more than sixty books on occult and esoteric subjects. She was dubbed ‘Britain’s most famous witch’ by the BBC. Because she rose to media fame in the 1950s, after the repeal of the 1735 Witchcraft Act in 1951, she had an effect upon the formation of neopagan witchcraft, mainly the religion of Wicca…Sybil’s family played host to some very scholarly characters. H. G. Wells, Sybil and her father used to take long walks discussing all things metaphysical. Sybil Leek claimed she knew Aleister Crowley, stating he was a family friend and even told her family Leek would be his successor (Leek’s entire family was involved in astrology and some of the guests who visited her home included H.G. Wells [Wells was the head of British Foreign Intelligence during World War I] as well as the famous British spies Lawrence of Arabia and Aleister Crowley). Sybil soon met a prominent concert pianist who became her music teacher, and she married him when she was 16. He died two years later (the hazard perhaps of marrying into a witch family versed in poisons), and stricken with grief Sybil returned home to her grandmother’s house (in the New Forest area of Staffordshire in England). Shortly after, she was sent by her grandmother to a French coven based at Gorge du Loup (Wolf Canyon) in the hills above Nice (in France), to replace a distant relative of hers as High Priestess. Eventually she returned to England. For a short while she stayed with an acquaintance in Lyndhurst, in the New Forest (the area where Wicca-founder Gerald B. Gardener was said to have been initiated into a witch’s coven), but soon found the lifestyle there tiresome and decided to run away. She became friends with the Romany Gypsies in the forest. Sybil learnt much from the Gypsies about the forest, ancient folklore, and even more about the practical use of herbs than she had learnt from her grandmother. She lived with the Gypsies for a year, and attended rituals with the Horsa coven in the New Forest, of which for a 1016

short time she was High Priestess, and therefore a member of the Nine Covens council (she being a leading member of the nine witch’s covens originally founded by the Illuminus witch George Pickingill [whose noteable initiates of course included Aleister Crowley] a fact which identifies Leek as a high-placed member of the Illuminati camp)…In April, 1964, an American publishing house wanted Sybil to speak about her new antique book ‘A Shop in the High Street’ and she was invited to appear on ‘To Tell the Truth’ a (CBS) TV programme in the (United) States (one of the regular panelists on the show being a former V-12 officer trained Navy vet named Johnny Carson). She took the opportunity to go, and flew to New York where she was mobbed by reporters and gave many interviews. While in New York, she was contacted by (the British witch) Hans Holzer, a parapsychologist, who invited her to join him investigating hauntings and psychic phenomena (an individual who is, as may be ascertained from his book Witchcraft, an associate of the leaders of nearly every major witches coven in America). They went on to do numerous TV and radio programmes on the subject. She then moved to Los Angeles where she met (Aleister Crowley’s former secretary) Dr. Israel Regardie, an authority on Kabbalah and ritual magic, and they spent much of their time together discussing and practicing the (Hermetic Order of the) Golden Dawn rituals together… She was also one of the first of the modern day witches to take up environmental causes.” As we learn from the BBC website, during the 1960s, the professed White Witch Sybil Leek: “…flew to America to promote one of her books and fell in love with the country. Radio presenter Annie England was one of the first people to interview her in 1964. They became lifelong friends. Annie says: ‘Everyone wanted her on their show. She rubbed shoulders with all the celebrities of her time…’ Sybil has many more tricks up her sleeve than some of the witches above. One of the most incredible claims about her is that she was recruited by the British Government during the Second World War. According to the Second World War author Michael Salazar, her role was to provide phony horoscopes for the Germans who believed in Astrology. She apparently wrote a chart which convinced the Nazi Rudolf Hess to fly to England, where he was captured (the Hess plot in which Sybil Leek participated had been masterminded by James Bond author Ian Fleming, a member of British Navy Intelligence, and involved co-plotters which included RAF Wing Commander Dennis Wheatley, “an expert on black magic and Satanism,” and Aleister Crowley, ‘Secret Agent 666’). Michael says; ‘World War II was a battle between good and evil (practitioners of magic) and Sybil (Leek) was in the middle of it.’ - BBC: Inside Out - South: Monday 28th October, 2002 (The jury is still out on who was more good and who was more evil. For more contemporary information on Nazi occult connections, see Occult Causes of the Current War [1940 A.D.] by Lewis Spence). Note the use of a witch as a British spy as well as the white magic verses black magic warfare connotations. World War II was reputed to be a war pitting practitioners of white magic [Churchhill was reportedly a magic-practicing Druid and FDR had numerous Theosophical Society/Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn/Fabian Society associations in his camp as well] against practitioners of black magic [as emplified by Hitler’s magical group]. Whatever the case, The Bible makes no such distinction between black and white magic practitioners—both are considered to be in the same unholy group (as occult scholar Eric Maple explains in his book, Witchcraft: “There is no fundamental difference between black and white magic.” Indeed, as former high-degree Freemasonic magicpracticing occultist William Schnoebelen points out in his book, Wicca, Satan’s Little White Lie: “I finally learned in the most graphic fashion imaginable that the difference between witchcraft or Wicca and Satanism is actually non-existent.”). However, it seems in fact in all actuality to have been a war pitting rival black magic-practicing groups against one another to decide who (or rather, which Theosophical Society branch) was to lead the New World Order. In the words of Sybil Leek herself: “I was born practically in the classic place for witches at a crossroads where three rivers meet, a wild, desolate, witch-ridden part (in the New Forest area) of Staffordshire (in England)…I can perhaps claim the longest lineage in witch history. On my distaff side, which stems from Southern Ireland, I can trace my ancestors back to A.D. 1134. On my father’s side we go back to a staunch family of occultists who were constantly 1017

around the court of Russia… I was exposed to witchcraft, astrology, occultism in general, and the mysteries of the Kabbala… My father was a gentle scholarly type… he would talk to me about such things as Yoga and Eastern philosophies. He had been a Shakespearean actor in his youth with the well-known company of Sir Frank Benson [Benson was an Oxford University-educated dramatist who would later become a Shakespearean actor at Sir Henry Irving’s Lyceum Theatre for which pursuit he was later knighted (no doubt for the covert operations in which he was involved and not for his extraordinarily flamboyant theatrical flair)]… We had many visitors to our household. H.G. Wells [H.G. Wells served as the Director of British Foreign Intelligence during WWI**], whom my father always called a scientist but who is better known as a writer, was a frequent visitor. He and my father enjoyed long talks and walks (“…walks where we collected herbs…” with which they concocted witch’s potions as well as ingredients for use in magic spells), and I was always allowed to go along with them. They would talk about such things as other dimensions (‘quantum mysticism’), the artificiality of time, and how it could be possible to be in two dimensions (as illustrated by the 1935 A.D. Schroedinger’s Cat experiment concerning the wave/particle qualities of light which pointed towards such a two-dimensional system)… Among the many visitors to our household was one whom I shall always remember… The man was Aleister Crowley [Crowley like the others was also a British spy; at one point in time Crowley was even married to the sister of the Director of British Navy Intelligence]… I owe to Crowley much… He would come and go as he pleased, never announcing his arrival and disappearing without so much as saying farewell to any of us… When I was a teenager in Paris [during the 1930s] I met him again and attended a Black Mass…” – pp.10,7,12,13 Diary of a Witch by Sybil Leek, 1968 A.D. Note that Sybil Leek was associated with the 1930s Parisian magic scene) (** H.G. Wells and Sir Henry Irving both belonged to the Garrick Club, a London theatrical gentlemen’s club frequented by so many of the British spies in our story that we have to brand it Club Illuminati [added to the list of Illuminati clubs must be The Other Club founded by Winston Churchill in 1911 A.D. whose membership ranks read as a who’s who in contemporary British politics (as well as a who’s who of British Intelligence heads) giving a smoky backroom scripted feel to the entire British democratic enterprise]. Sir Henry Irving was a cousin of Welsh poet W.H. Davies who was a friend of ceremonial magician Austin Osmon Spare—Spare himself was a member of Aleister Crowley’s A.:A.: magic order. As we learn from Wikipedia concerning W.H. Davies: “Davies moved back to London early in 1914, settling eventually at 14 Great Russell Street in the Bloomsbury district, previously the residence of Charles Dickens (Charles Dickens being a member of the spy filled Ghost Club). Here in a tiny two-room apartment…he lived from early 1916 until 1921 [it was during this time that Austin Osman Spare and W.H. Davies co-edited Form magazine (circa 1920 – 1921 A.D.), a quarterly journal featuring contributions by magic practicing artists, poets and writers including W.B. Yeats, Robert Graves [Robert Graves was notably enough a friend of Gerald B. Gardner’s secretary Idries Shah—Graves would write the Introduction to Shah’s 1964 A.D. book, The Sufis (it was to Idries Shah that British Intelligence agent John G. Bennett would deed his Coombe Springs properties)], Aleister Crowley’s right-hand man J.F.C. Fuller, Aldous Huxley [who has also admited to “sharing a lunch” with Aleister Crowley], Clifford Bax [an associate of both Aleister Crowley and Crowley’s magical friend Allan Bennett] and sexologist/Fabian Society-member Havelock Ellis as well as artist/poet Edith Sitwell whose home would become a meeting place for Illuminati minds including poet Dylan Thomas, a good friend of Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner Victor Neuburg. Victor Neuburg’s friend Pamela Hansford Johnson (who had Yale, Harvard and Cornell Universitry connections) was married to British M.P. (who served in the Labour administration of British P.M. Harold Wilson)/(al)chemist/novelist C.P. Snow whose friends included Royal Society Fellows G.H. Hardy, a member of the Bloomsbury Group, and John Desmond Bernal (it was John Desmond Bernal, the husband of W.H. Auden’s artist/friend Margaret Gardiner, who developed the detailed maps of the German beaches stormed during the Allied Normandy landings), scientific advisor to Lord Louis Mountbatten who served as wartime Chief of 1018

Combined Operations during WWII]. It was during this time in London that Davies embarked on a series of public readings of his work, alongside such other authors as Hilaire Belloc [Hilaire Belloc, a great-great grandson of Joseph Priestley, collaborated with G.K. Chesterton on a number of literary endeavors. Belloc would also serve as President of the Oxford Union, as a British Member of Parliament and was most importantly enough a close friend of the legendary British spymaster/Scottish author John Buchan (author of the book The Thirty-Nine Steps [1915 A.D.] a spy thriller novel which would later be made into a movie in 1959 A.D. by the Rank Organization, a British Intelligence front/film production company; ever ones to toot their own horns, British spies loved to write books about their exploits, fact masqueraded as fiction, as well as to make movies about them, with British spy Ian Fleming himself providing a most notable example [they even loved to star in these films, Ian Fleming’s spy friend David Niven being quite exemplary of this fact]. Note the Intelligence activities with which these individuals were involved, using their literary and acting careers as cover. Such movie productions were often used as fronts for Intelligence operations (serving as well as much needed sources of black-ops funding). It would seem the Oxford Union was a British Intelligence front as well, for as evidenced by another of its one-time Presidents, namely, Labour Party M.P. Michael Foot, who was once employed as a journalist with Lord Beaverbrook’s Evening Standard newspaper [it is common in Britain for Intelligence agents to be employed as journalists and Lord Beaverbrook had been head of all British Ministry of Information Intelligence operations during WWI], who was a relative of SAS Intelligence agent M.R.D. Foot [Michael Foot would later serve as SOE historian, no doubt due to his SOE affiliations]), 1st Baron Tweedsmuir under whom, during WWI, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member Algernon Blackwood served as a spy, all being answerable to the Minister of Information, Lord Beaverbrook, and to author H.G. Wells, the Director of British Foreign Intelligence who along with British spy Aleister Crowley were friends of the Leeks and visitors to the Leek estate, also no doubt a family of spies (which used Sir Henry Irving’s touring company as a front for their spying operations) as well. During WWII, Sybil Leek would work with Aleister Crowley’s friend, fellow British spy/practitioner of magic Dennis Wheatley in the SOE also in an Intelligence gathering capacity. Sybil Leek is also alleged to have been involved in MKULTRA parapsychological experimentations (no doubt Leek’s interactions with LSD-addled hippies with which she had held weekly court in 1960s HaightAshbury was itself a part of this endeavor [for more information, see Diary of a Witch] and let us not forget Sybil Leek herself was very well versed in herbal poisons, an interest she shared with MKULTRA-head Dr. Sydney Gotlieb. A book entitled Journey into Madness: The True Story of CIA Mind Control and Medical Abuse (1987 A.D.) authored by Gordon Thomas delves into Sybil Leek’s work with the CIA in their attempts to harness the demonic forces of evil] and W. B. Yeats [Yeats was head of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn at which time British spy Aleister Crowley was likewise himself a member], impressing such fellow poets as Ezra Pound [himself a friend of W.B. Yeats]. He soon found that he was able to socialize with leading society figures of the day, including Lord Balfour [Arthur Balfour, author of the Balfour Declaration] and Lady Randolph Churchill [the mother of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill]. While in London [W.H.] Davies also became friendly with a number of artists, including Jacob Epstein [Jacob Epstein’s daughter Kathleen would marry artist Lucian Freud (a visiting teacher at the Slade School of Fine Art at University College London from 1949 – 1954 A.D. in the Bloomsbury district of London (housed in the same university building as the Warburg Institute founded by Siegmund George Warburg. It was in the Warburg Institute where was deposited by Gerald Yorke’s copies of Aleister Crowley’s Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn papers [known as the Yorke Collection] concerning secret Golden Dawn magic rituals). The Slade School of Fine Art has definite Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn associations—Golden Dawn Grand Master S.L. MacGregor Mathers’ wife Moina Mathers was educated there [See p.115 The Golden Dawn Scrapbook]). Lucian Freud was the grandson of psychiatrist Sigmund Freud], Harold and Laura Knight [during the early 1900s the Knights lived in an the artist’s colony in Newlyn, Cornwall alongside 1019

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member/OTO-member Aleister Crowley who was himself something of an artist as well], Nina Hamnett [Nina Hamnett was a friend of Aleister Crowley], Augustus John [the artist Augustus John was married to British spy Ian Fleming’s widowed mother who had been married to Winston Churchill’s friend Valentine Fleming who was killed in action during WWI. As noted in Secret Agent 666, Ian Fleming served as British spy Aleister Crowley’s case officer]; Augustus John’s daughter by a later marriage would marry the son of OTO-member Kenneth Anger’s own ‘patron,’ Sir John Paul Getty], [the Slade School of Fine Arts-educated British artist] Harold Gilman, William Rothenstein [whose social circle at one point in time included H.G. Wells (British Director of Foreign Intelligence during WWI), author Joseph Conrad (Joseph Conrad was known for having carried out an extensive correspondence with Jeanne Robert Foster, one of Aleister Crowley’s Scarlet Women. Jeanne Robert Foster’s friends included Ford Madox Ford, Ezra Pound and W.B. Yeats) and the artist Augustus John], Walter Sickert [a close friend of Lord Beaverbrook (aka Max Aitken, who had extensive Intelligence associations) whose granddaughter is American actress Kait Mailer, daughter of author Norman Mailer,** an associate of OTO-member Kenneth Anger [Kenneth Anger was as a boy the neighbor of Jack Parsons who headed Aleister Crowley’s American OTO lodge with whom Parsons was in regular contact]. Lord Beaverbrook, who served as Minister of Information during WWI in an Intelligence capacity was also a close friend of British P.M. Winston Churchill with whom he attended a number of WWII wartime meetings with U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was in Winston Churchill’s SOE Intelligence organization where served as spies during WWII a number of individuals associated wth the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn], Sir William Nicholson [his daughter married poet/occultist Robert Graves who was a friend of British Intelligence agent T.E.

Laurence once served as an advisor to Winston Churchill] and Osbert and Edith Sitwell [whose friends included Dylan Thomas, a good friend of British spy Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magick partner Victor Neuburg].” – Wikipedia: W.H. Davies. Needless to say, W.H. Davies was a British spy [** Author Norman Mailer (whose known associates included OSS spy Mary Bancroft, a mistress of OSS/CIA chief Allen Dulles; Mary Bancroft was also a friend of John F. Kennedy and of his brother Robert Kennedy), it is interesting to note, was a member along with Truman Capote (Capote himself was a friend of Paul Bowles and of Bowles’ friend Christopher Isherwood [Isherwood was a friend of Aleister Crowley who Paul Bowles had met in Berlin in 1931 A.D.] for whom CIA counterintelligence czar James Angleton’s friend W.H. Auden had served as a ‘mentor’), Allen Ginsberg (who links to OSS/CIA psychiatrists Gregory Bateson and Timothy Leary), Lawrence Ferlinghetti (Ferlinghetti links to W.H. Auden and Co. through Jacques Barzun, Ferlinghetti’s professor at Columbia University who worked with W.H. Auden** as an editor at the Mid-Century Book Society until 1963 A.D., the very year John F.

Sol Stein co-founded Stein and Day publishers in 1962 A.D. which served as the American publisher for George Bernard Shaw and for Dylan Thomas whose good friend Victor Neuburg was Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magickal partner. It was Stein and Day which published Marilyn Monroe’s book My Story [ghost written for Monroe by Ben Hecht, a fact categorically denied until 2000 A.D. when it was finally conceded to be true]. Marilyn Monroe was John F. Kennedy’s mistress) and John F. Kennedy-assassin Lee Harvey Oswald of the Fair Play for Cuba (FPCC) activist group. As we learn from Wikipedia: Fair Play for Cuba: “In his 2002 book, The Kennedy Conspiracy (2002), Anthony Summers asserted that documents indicate both the Central Intelligence Agency and the FBI infiltrated the FPCC. He quoted a CIA officer saying ‘We did everything we could to make sure it was not successful— to smear it ... to penetrate it. I think Oswald may have been part of a penetration attempt.’” Perhaps this was just an attempt by the CIA to explain away their own involvement with this organization, that perhaps it had been a CIA construct from the get-go seeing as how 1020

everybody involved with this group seems to have had CIA associations. Discordianism [the Discordian Society** and hence Robert Anton Wilson (a friend of OTO-member Grady McMurtry, a CIA-associated friend of OTO lodge master Jack Parsons), the ‘Patron Saint of Discordianism’ himself along with his whole sordid bunch] connects to Lee Harvey Oswald as well—Discordianism co-founder Kerry Wendell, aka Lord Omar [co-founded with childhood friend Greg Hill, alias Malacalypse the Younger—together they co-authored the the Discordian Society’s Principia Discordia] had been a member along with Lee Harvey Oswald of the very same Marine radio operator unit in Santa Ana, CA. Then CIA agent George H.W. Bush’s associate George de Mohrenschildt was a notable friend of Lee Harvey Oswald and like Oswald George de Mohrenschildt would himself be suicided as he was being called to testify concerning the Kennedy assassination [See Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, America’s Invisible Government and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years by Russ Baker]. The CIA-associated OTO which itself had major British Intelligence associations was a common denominator in both the JFK and Robert Kennedy assassinations) (**San Francisco-based occultist E.E. Rehmus gives the following cryptic definition of the Discordian Society in his book The Magician’s Dictionary: “A right-wing secret organization said to control the world, descended from the Bavarian Illuminati. Now loosely associated with the new Golden Dawn’s Neo-Thelemites…” The “new Golden Dawn’s Neo-Thelemites” of which Rehmus speaks is the OTO itself) “Another book that has had a profound influence on many Wiccans, and would undoubtedly have been well known by (Gerald B.) Gardner is The Golden Bough by Sir JG Frazer (according to Wikipedia: “The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion [1890 A.D./1906–15 A.D.] is a wide-ranging, comparative study of mythology and religion, written by Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer (1854–1941).”). Although the entire book was written based upon purely secondary research, it is an extensive examination of many Pagan practices from the Ancient World, and the emphasis of the Sacrificed God could certainly have been taken from here equally as well as from (Margaret Alice) Murray. It is likely that some of the Gardnerian ritual practices (Wicca ceremonial magic rituals) were derived from The Golden Bough, or from Frazer’s own sources listed in its bibliography (which list is very substantial in itself, listing sources numbering in the thousands).” - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition

Spare also had associations with the Society of Psychical Research]. Together they [Grant and Spare] founded the Zos Kia Cultus in 1952.” – Wikipedia: Kenneth Grant) and his wife, (Gerald B.) Gardner (English Wiccan and Father of Garderian Wicca, Gerald Brousseau Gardner [June 13, 1884 - February 12, 1964]. He, like Kenneth Grant, had 1021

also been initiated into the O.T.O. by Aleister Crowley), Dolores North (Madeline Montalban)** (Dolores North was dubbed the ‘Witch of St. Giles’ after the area of London near the occult Atlantis Bookshop [founded 1922 A.D.] and the British Museum where she had resided [the Atlantis Bookshop is located across the street from the British Museum]. Aleister Crowley also frequented the Atlantis Bookshop [See p.13 The Magic of Aleister Crowley by John Symmonds. As Symmonds therein explains: “The Atlantis bookshop in Museum Street was, and probably still is, a place where occultists (and hence, spies) sometimes meet.” It was also on the very same street where was located fellow British Intelligence (MI5) agent P.R. Stephenson’s Mandrake Press which published a number of Crowley’s books]. Wicca-founder Gerald B. Gardner whose book High Magic’s Aid was published by the Atlantis Bookshop was known to have attended magic rituals performed by bookshop founder Michael Houghton’s The Order of the Hidden Masters held in the book store’s sinuous subterranean recesses in the finest Mystery religion tradition). Dolores North was an: “English ceremonial magician known for founding the occult organisation known as the Order of the Morning Star [Ordo Stella Matutina], through which she taught her own form of Luciferian magic.” - Wikipedia), and an unnamed Witch (probably Olive Green)(Olive Green was a witch in Gerald B. Gardner’s New Forest coven) met to perform a (magic) ritual together, supposedly to contact an extraterrestrial being (no doubt the extraterrestrials with whom they sought contact were the rebellious fallen angels who hailed from the New Earth). The material basis for the rite was a drawing by AO Spare.” (London-born artist/World War I Official British war artist/British army conscript Austin Osman Spare [1886 – 1956 A.D.] was a practicing ceremonial magician, authoring such books as A Book of Satyrs [1907 A.D.] and Anathema of Zos [1927 A.D.; Zos was Spare’s magical name. One of Spare’s favorite spells invoked ‘Rehctaw’ which is simply the word ‘Watcher,’ a name by which the angels are known, spelled backwards]. To magic-practicing artists, their artworks are magic charms/talismans/sigils, a practice also known as ‘Art Magic.’ Aleister Crowley and Gerald B. Gardner were artists as well. Sometimes charms are even tattooed upon the human body, and it is not uncommon for witches and shamans to sport full-body tattoos) - History of Wicca in England: 1939 to the Present Day by Julia Phillips, 2004 Edition (The afformentioned magical working including Grant and the Gardners, et al, of which Julia Philips writes is detailed in Kenneth Grant’s Nightside of Eden pp. 122-124. Grant says they were attempting to contact “certain extraterrestrial intelligences” with which he was at that time “in almost constant rapport.” He relates that Austin Osman Spare was also in contact with extraterrestrial intelligences at that time as well. Of an interesting note, on p.48 of Nightside of Eden [1977 A.D.], Kenneth Grant writes that the non-human entities with who ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee and his medium Edward Kelly were in contact were in fact “extraterrestrial entities.” At least Grant recognizes the angels for what they truly are, alien beings from another planet; they are no mere figments of superstitious religious imaginations) (Kenneth Grant, a disciple of Aleister Crowley, had received his OTO charter from Karl Germer himself. Many witches at this time had abandoned OTO-member Gerald B. Gardner’s coven of Wicca witches in order to join Grant’s own Typhonian OTO [See pp.239240 Turn Off Your Mind]. Occultist Austin Osman Spare, a former member of Crowley’s A:.A:., had himself been a friend of Aleister Crowley’s homosexual magical partner Victor Neuburg [Ibid p.240], Neuburg also being an initiated member of Crowley’s A:.A:. [See The Magical Dilemma of Victor Neuburg]) (Concerning the OTO degrees: VIII° = masterbatory sex-magic rites; IX° = heterosexual sex-magic rites; Typhon Formula = X° male homosexual sex-magic rites [and hence, Kenneth Grant’s Typhonian OTO was dedicated to homosexual sex-magic rituals]/Ma’at Formula = X° female homosexual OTO sex-magic rites) (** Doreen Valiente, a witch formerly a member of Gerald B. Gardner’s coven of witches, writes in her book The Rebirth of Witchcraft p.50 that Dolores North had once served as Lord Louis Mountbatten’s own “personal clairvoyant and psychic advisor.” Lord Louis Mountbatten himself was a Knight of the Order of the Garter, a traditional witch’s coven) 1022

Indeed, as pointed out by the head of the Typhonian O.T.O. magic order/Crowleydisciple Kenneth Grant himself: “(Arthur) Machen, (Algernon) Blackwood, (Aleister) Crowley, (H.P.) Lovecraft, (Dion) Fortune (all of whom were associated with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its offshoots and/or its successor organizations), and others, frequently used as a theme for their writings the influx of extra-terrestrial powers which have been moulding the history of our planet since time began; that is, since time began for us, for we are only too prone to suppose that we were here first and that we alone are here now, whereas the most ancient occult traditions affirm that we were neither the first nor are we the only ones to people the earth; the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods find echoes in the myths and legends of all peoples (the rebellious fallen angels were/are worshipped as gods by many members of the human population of the Earth; the expected return of the ‘Elder Gods’ from the ‘Abyss’ is known in the H.P. Lovecraft circle as ‘Cthulu Rising’ and takes its genesis from the legends of Azazel’s entrapment and his later prophesized release). Austin Spare claimed to have had direct experience of the existence of extra-terrestrial intelligences…As explained in Images and Oracles of Austin Osman Spare, Spare was initiated (which initiation involves sexual intercourse) into the vital current of ancient and creative sorcery by an aged woman named Paterson, who claimed decent from a line of Salem witches. The formation of Spare’s Cult of the Zos and the Kia owes much to his contact with Witch Paterson who provides the model for many of his ‘sabbatic’ drawings and paintings.” - The Sorceries of Zos by Austin O. Spare taken from Cults of the Shadow (published 1995 A.D.) by Kenneth Grant. As Kenneth Grant himself explained in Nightside of Eden, p.88, circa 1977 A.D.: “…extra-terrestrial demons [fallen angels]…have swarmed in myth and legend in the guise of…gnomes, elves and fairies etc., of the elemental kingdoms…amenable to [magic] invocation and—though more rarely— evocation. Austin Osman Spare, for instance, evolved a system of magical sigils for controlling these monstrous atavisms…All initiated systems of ritual [magic] are methods of establishing contact with beings of the ‘other side’ [the ‘other side’ is also known in the Zohar as ‘sitra abra,’ the Abyss, wherein is entrapped Azazel and his angels]. Whether these are considered to be extra-terrestrials from outer space, or subjective denizens of inner space, makes little difference to the practical occultist.” Grant speaks of course of the ongoing debate between various ufologists concerning whether UFOs originated from an otherdimensional inner space or in fact from outer space) (I feel a pressing need to put forth this question at this time: “Is there any yet amongst you in the inner inner sanctums naïve enough to believe the angels may be controlled, and this by words and ancient ceremony involving simple cinematic props?” Know that they serve you at their whim, that when they tire of you and you serve no useful purpose you shall be abandoned if not in fact destroyed)

In the words of one occult survivor: “I think the twentieth century marked a change in the modus operandi of the secret societies as science began to have greater power. The cult goal, social control, began incorporating ‘scientific methods’ into its doctrines…They began a movement from demons to space aliens.” - Mauri, anonymous Satanic cult survivor, 2004 A.D. (‘Mauri,’ the daughter of Satanic cult members, claims to have been an MKULTRA test subject). The demons and aliens are one and the

same. Concerning this marked change as we learn from The Stargate Conspiracy p.271: “…in the years immediately after the Second World War…there was a new emphasis in the philosophy of the orders. It began to be associated with extraterrestrials, rather than ‘traditional’ 1023

occult entities such as angels, demons or spirit guides (though in the Preface to his book Spiritism and Psychology [1911 A.D.], the Swiss professor of psychology at the University of Geneva, Theodore Flournoy [it was Flournoy’s own cousin, Spiritualist medium Héléne Preiswerk who was the subject of Swiss psychologist/Theosophical Society-member/ufologist Carl Jung’s own doctoral dissertation submitted in 1902 A.D. (See Jung: A Very Short Introduction)] therein employs the term “extra-terrestrial intelligences” synonymously with the word spirits in reference to those entities encountered by Spiritualist mediums [as some ‘spirits’ encountered during Spiritualist séances claimed to be from other planets such as Venus and others were deemed to be from an otherworldly Fourth Dimension]. That the word ‘spirit’ may be used synonymously with that of the word ‘angel’ is evident in Hebrews 1:7). The major figure in this development was

(OTO-member) Charles Stansfeld Jones…(Aleister) Crowley’s leading disciple.” Indeed, according to the OTO’s journal Khabs circa the 20th century A.D.: “…the central concern of magic is communion with…extraterrestrial intelligences.” The so-called “extraterrestrial intelligences” with whom they seek to communicate are the alien rebel angels (also known by the archaic designation ‘demons’) who are at this time in open rebellion against God. Magic systems invoke the fallen angels and seek to communicate with them. And do. Adherents even work in conjunction with them and often profit handsomely thereby. The magic tradition lives on today, most notably at the Bohemian Grove in northern California U.S.A., as well as in the United Nations (particularly in UNESCO, the U.N.’s cultural/religious arm; UNESCO is the defacto international magic bund envisioned by Rudolph Steiner) which is headquarted in New York City, New York, USA. Any organization, political or otherwise, based upon, demonstrating or participating in such a magic tradition, must at best be suspect. Avoid such associations. Magic practices and UFOs are in fact inextricably entwined. In the words of occultist Adam Gorightly: “It was not long after my own encounter with strange aerial phenomenon that I began to see a link between UFOs to such seemingly disparate topics as psychedelics, psychotronics, and ritual magick…To me the term "UFO" simply suggests something unexplainable hovering in outer or inner space, whether it is machine1024

like elves encountered under the influence of DMT, or nuts and bolt craft performing inexplicable aerial maneuvers over Area 51.” – Ritual Magic, Mind Control and the UFO Phenomonom by Adam Gorightly (For more information concerning the interconnectiveness of occult and UFO phenomenon see The Demonic Theory of UFOs by John of the Gentiles. Pertinent Quote: “For their personal magical protection the Phoenicians appear to have adopted the type of amulets used in Babylonia and Assyria, and a collection of cylinder seals has been preserved in the British Museum (Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities). Some of these artifacts…may date from a few centuries B.C., probably from about 400 to 300 B.C. All five of these cylinder seals depict the Winged Disk [a disc-shaped cherub/UFO]…Figures which are referred to in the literature as ‘divine beings’ [angels] are seen emerging from these disks in four cases. And in every one of them human figures in ceremonial dress appear to be involved in rituals that contain Assyrian features…why should the observation of a flying disk be represented in the context of an obviously magical ceremony … Representation of flying disks in religion does not stop with the Phoenicians. The symbol is a basic one in the early Christian church, and it is consistently associated with the angels.” - UFOs: The Psychic Solution by Jacques Vallee. Why is a flying disk represented in the context of a magic ceremony? Because communication with the occupants of these ‘flying discs’ has been the occult goal of all magic systems ever since the rebel angel’s banishment to our Earth) It is important to note this extraterrestrial connection with magic as one of the most interesting offshoots of traditional magic practices are the so-called UFO cults and UFO religions of 20th Century America. The most famous (infamous) amongst modern UFO cults/UFO religions is The Nation of Islam (founded by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930 A.D. [he disappeared mysteriously in 1934 A.D., perhaps one may venture as a UFO abductee], now headed by a Freemason named Louis Farrakhan), Heaven’s Gate (also known as Human Individual Metamorphosis [H.I.M.], a San Francisco-based UFO contacteee cult founded by Marshall Applewhite, in the 1970’s, many of whose members were hippies hailing from various California and Oregon communes; on March 26, 1997 A.D., 39 of its members committed ritual mass suicide so they could be ‘beamed-up’ into a spaceship said to be hidden in the comet Hale-Bopp’s tail) and The 1025

Church of Scientology (founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1952 A.D.). Another interesting offshoot of Ariosophy is the Esoteric Nazism of the Tempelhofgesellschaft predicated on the belief Aryans were sired by an extraterrestrial race. All secret magic societies and groups such as the OTO, Freemasonry and Theosophy (as is evidenced in the teachings of the Theosophical Society) need also be considered UFO religions: “UFO religions are commonly groups which deal with communication between humans and extra-terrestrial beings. Forms of communication include telepathy and astral projection.” – Wikipedia: List of UFO religions. (To such a list of UFO religions we may also add The Process Church of the Final Judgment, founded by a pair of ex-Scientologists)

Such organizations adhere to is what is known as the Ancient Astronaut Theory: “According to certain authors, intelligent extraterrestrial beings called ancient astronauts or ancient aliens have visited Earth, and this contact (known as ‘paleocontact’) is connected with the origins or development of human cultures, technologies, and religions (some authors cite verses of The Bible such as Genesis 6:1-4 as proof). A common variant of the idea includes proposals that deities from most, if not all, religions are actually extraterrestrials, and their technologies were taken as evidence of their divine status…Proponents of ancient astronaut theories often maintain that humans are either descendants or creations of beings who landed on Earth thousands of years ago. An associated idea is that much of human knowledge, religion, and culture came from extraterrestrial visitors in ancient times.” – Wikipedia: Ancient Astronauts (One prime example is the story of the Varacochas [a word which translates as ‘white masters’], the so-called Sons of the Sun, the group of white men [a group of incarnate fallen angels] from outer space who at one time are said to have had reigned over the native population at Tiahuanaco in Bolivia. Indeed, The Book of Enoch LXXXVI.1 speaks of the appearance of the fallen angels when it says: “…there came forth from heaven as it were the likeness of white men…”) “…modern "ancient astronauts" theory…postulates that a space age race had once visited Earth and had involved itself in human affairs. 1026

Some UFO researchers have gone a step further by suggesting that such a space age race had either created or conquered human society many thousands of years ago and that it has been maintaining a watchful eye on its possession ever since.” – The Gods of Eden by William Bramley, 1989 A.D.

One of the most famous books which falls into the Ancient Astronaut Theory category is a book entitled Chariots of the Gods? authored by a Davos, Switzerland hotel manager named Erich von Däniken: “Chariots of the Gods? Unsolved Mysteries of the Past…is a book written in 1968 by Erich von Däniken. It involves the hypothesis that the technologies and religions of many ancient civilizations were given to them by ancient astronauts who were welcomed as gods.” – Wikipedia: Chariots of the Gods?

Indeed, in the Forward to the British (1973 A.D.) edition of The Bible and Flying Saucers by Presbyterian Pastor Barry H. Downing (originally published in America, 1968 A.D.), Downing writes: “I am more convinced than ever that the Biblical faith was strongly influenced by, if not deliberately caused by, beings from another world, wherever and whatever that world may be.” - The Bible and Flying Saucers (The word ‘alien,’ it must be noted, is a cognate of the word ‘angel’)

And Downing is not alone by a longshot: “In his book A Guest from the Universe, Alexander Kazentsev theorized that the angels mentioned in the Bible might actually have been extraterrestrials. British ufologist Brinsley Le Poer Trench, author of The Sky People, supports this notion, as does Paul Misraki in Les Extraterrestres.” – p.64 Why UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D. (See also NASA scientist Josef F. Blumrich’s The Spaceships of Ezekiel (1974 A.D.). Another book cut from this very same cloth is ‘professional astronomer’ John W. Macvey’s Intersteller Travel: Past, Present, and Future [1977 A.D.] which appeared around the time of the Star Wars© release which was itself by his own admission George Lucas’ modern retelling of Greek ‘mythological’ tales [See Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed by Prometheus Entertainment© in association with The History Channel© and Lucas Films Ltd.© which includes pro-input interviews by Star Wars-morals influenced Congressional leaders Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi [includes interviews with Tom Brokaw and Steven Colbert. The Hero’s Journey (based in no small part on Thomas Carlyle’s On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History) is not what you make of it. Turn and be healed. Why should you suffer eternal pain for the sake 1027

of fallen angels? Eternity is forever…]. The Rebellion’s character Luke Skywalker we are told represents the Greek god Apollo in the finest Gnostic ‘sympathy for the devil’/Theosophical Society tradition. Apollo of course represents the rebellious fallen angel Azazel. George Lucas was a big sci-fi pulp novel fan (circa. 40’-50’s) who based the stories of the Star Wars franchise professedly on his studies of the teachings of the writings of the Sigmund Freud/Carl Jung-influenced comparative religion/comparative mythology writer/lecturer/college professor Joseph Campbell. As we learn from Wikipedia concerning Joseph Campbell: “Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion” who in 1924 A.D.: “traveled to Europe with his family. On the ship back, he encountered Jiddu Krishnamurti; they discussed Asian philosophy, sparking in Campbell a life-long interest in Hindu and Indian thought. Following this trip, Campbell ceased to be a practicing Catholic.” (See The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work p. 29 by Joseph Campbell, 2003 A.D. Concerning Joseph Campbell and his fateful ‘chance’ meeting, we learn that Jiddu Krishnamurti was: “Born into a Telugu family in what was then colonial India, Krishnamurti lived next to the Theosophical Society headquarters at Adyar in Madras in his early adolescence. At Adyar, he encountered prominent occultist and Theosophist Charles Webster (C.W.) Leadbeater (Leadbeater was not even willing to walk to the end of the block to find someone to be his false prophet!). He was subsequently raised under the tutelage of Leadbeater and Annie Besant, leaders of the Theosophical Society at the time. Leadbeater and Besant believed (or, might I suggest, simply portrayed) Krishnamurti to be the likely vehicle for a messianic entity, the so-called World Teacher. As a young man, he disavowed this idea (he ‘officailly’ renounced his role in Theosophy in 1929 A.D.) and dissolved the worldwide organization (the Order of the Star) established to support it.” – Wikipedia: Jiddu Krishnamurti. It must be noted Professor Joseph Campbell taught mythology classes at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, a private college associated with Oxford University. One Notable graduate of Sarah Lawrence College is current Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel. Another New Age Spiritualist writer of note promoted by Chicago talkshow hostess Oprah Winfrey is Eckhart Tolle. In the words of Eckhart Tolle himself: "I feel actually that the work I do is a coming together of the teaching 'stream,' if you want to call it that, of (Jiddu) Krishnamurti (of Theosophical Society-fame) and (the Hindu spiritual master) Ramana Maharshi" (See Dialogues With Emerging Spiritual Teachers by John W. Parker, 2000 A.D.). The Theosophical Society itself fits the definition of a ‘UFO Cult.’ The following selection from Theosophical Society President Annie Besant (circa 1911 A.D.) offered the following spin on an age old story: “If you could look backwards beyond historical periods; backwards still across the mist of legend and of myth; backwards into the darkness of the past where even legend and myth have ceased to be; backwards ever, into the far night of time, into the beginnings of humanity, as humanity, on our globe; then would you see a brilliant golden cloud (an alien spacecraft, more commonly known by its Biblical name, ‘cherub’) flashing down to earth from a far-off planet — the planet which you know as Shukra, and which we call Venus in the West (in actuality the angels hail from the New Earth). From that planet far away in space a radiant cloud (a brightly lit cherub/spacecraft) is coming, a cloud (cherub/spacecraft) of fire and of 1028

light; and as it descends through the ambient air, as the clouds of heaven roll away dispersing at its coming, the fire-cloud (cherub/spacecraft) sinks gently to earth like some huge Bird of Heaven, and settles down upon an island — the White Island, it is called in the Purãnas (in Eastern religious texts) — the island on which later was built the sacred City of Shamballa. There the fiery cloud (cherub/spacecraft) comes to rest; there the glorious Beings (angels) who were borne in it, as in a chariot of fire, descend. They are the Sons of the Fire, the Lords of the Flame (the Lords of the Flame are the Elohim angels as we learn from Max Heindel in The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception): They come to this planet as the Messengers (the word ‘messenger’ is often used synonymously with the word ‘angel’) of the Logos, of Îshvara (a deva/god) Himself; They (the angels) come as the Helpers of our infant humanity, to guide its tottering steps along the path of evolution.” - The White Lodge and it's Messengers Adyar Pamphlets No. 149 by Annie Besant, 1911 A.D. (Besant’s use of the phrase “chariot of fire” to denote a cherub-type spacecraft is not without precedence. 2Kings 2:11 describes the presence of such a “chariot of fire” when Elijah was said to have been taken up to heaven. No doubt The Bible is the source of the term which she herein employs. Besant it must be remembered was a disavowed Christian) (As we learn from Wikipedia: “Christopher Patridge wrote that the works of (Alice A.) Bailey, Rudolf Steiner, and Theosophy in general all influenced what he called the "UFO religions." He explained that "...Theosophy has several prominent branches, and, strictly speaking, the branch which has had the most important influence on the UFO religion is that developed by Alice Bailey." Professor Robert S. Ellwood of the University of Southern California [home to USC ufologist/OTO-member Meade Layne, a former co-member along with Jack Parsons of Charles Stansfeld Jones’ OTO lodge] investigated a wide range of religious and spiritual groups in the United States during the 1970s, including a nationwide group of UFO believers called Understanding, Inc., which had been founded by a contactee named Daniel Fry (an Aerojet employee [of Jack Parsons’ own company!] who reportedly had his first UFO encounter in 1950 A.D.). He reported that, "…the New Age Prayer derived from the Alice Bailey writings is used as an invocation." George D. Chryssides of the University of Wolverhampton, cited Bailey's influence on the ideas of the Order of the Solar Temple and related UFO organisations. Benjamin Crème (who resides as must be noted in London, England), formerly a member of the UFO religion the Aetherius Society (founded by a taxi-driver named George King on the instructions of ‘Master Aetherius,’ a purported member of the Great White Brotherhood), became a follower of Alice A. Bailey and then proclaimed in 1975 that he had been contacted by Maitreya (who is Azazel) to prepare for the return of Maitreya to Earth that had been prophesied by Alice A. Bailey in 1946. Alice A. Bailey prophesied in January 1946 that…Christ (…The World Teacher…) (read: Maitreya/Azazel) would return himself by manifesting a physical body of his own on the physical plane" … and that this would be the New Age equivalent of the Christian concept of the Second Coming of Christ.” – Wikipedia: Alice A. Bailey. For this reason The Bible calls Azazel the False Prophet) (Notable Benjamin Creme Quote: “The first thing to understand is that UFOs, Unidentified Flying Objects, may be unidentified by the government agencies, but they [the UFOs which Benjamin Creme identifies as “the ‘ships’ of the Space Brothers” (‘Space Brothers’ as defined as ‘Nordic aliens,’ also known as ‘Pleiadians,’ humanoid extraterrestrials said to resemble European Nordic-Scandinavians)] are real, they exist…They are all part of the plan of the emerging Hierarchy of our world.” – Benjamin Crème, Share International Magazine, July/August 2009 A.D. The ‘Hierarchy’ of which he speaks will be headed of course by the fallen angels Azazel and Satan! Indeed, these humanoid aliens are no friends of ours: “Although a few of the contactees have said that the humanoids they saw appeared to be friendly, quite a number have indicated otherwise. To them the humanoids appeared unfriendly, even hostile.” - The Omega Conspiracy by I.D.E. Thomas, 1986 A.D.) (Notable Quote: “Many followers of the New Age aspire for contact with extraterrestrial Entities. The most common way of making such a contact is channeling. Channelers [acting as mediums, in effect] are persons gifted as psychics, who transmit messages to humanity from higher levels of consciousness.” – The Invisible Influences by 1029

Typhonian OTO-member Živorad Mihajlović-Slavinski, 2008 A.D.) (Additional Notable Quote by Živorad Mihajlović-Slavinski: “Psychiatrists and certified therapists study extraterrestrial Entities as well [the word psychiatry is in fact derived from the word psyche, meaning, ‘spirit’; in many ways, a psychiatrist is the modern equivalent of the excorcist of old]. Among them, a special place is reserved for Dr. Edith Fiore, author of several books in this field, and Dr.William Baldwin, author of probably the best manual on this topic, entitled Spirit Releasement Therapy (1992). When the term ‘extraterrestrial entities’ is used, it is implied that the Entities come to earth from other planets, galaxies and parallel universes (a term that is widely used in recent times is “Autonomous Appearing Intelligent Structures”).” The Invisible Influences. As occultist/UFO contactee Brad Steiger explains in laymans terms in Revelation: The Divine Fire: “…entities, whatever they are, couch themselves in the form most likely to be accepted by the mind they contact (hence the term ‘Master of Form’). Thus the occultist has his invocations of spirits, good and evil, and the Saucerian has his space people.” And one may add Theosophical Society member, Spiritualist/Spiritist psychiatrist Carl Jung, the student of august psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, to the list of people who sought contact with such Otherworldly entities. Psychiatry as it exists today is an outgrowth of the Spiritist/Spiritualist Movements, and of course, magic. Jung, in addition to collecting data on Spiritualist séances, also collected data on UFOs, a subject matter into which he busily immersed hisself following the UFO flap of 1947 A.D. (these subjects were in fact interconnected. As John A. Keel explains: “Denizens of other planets frequently materialized at sѐances during the spiritualism craze of the 1800’s and the 1920’s.” - The Flying Saucer Subculture by John A. Keel); Jung had even contacted Donald Keyhoe (Keyhoe believed UFOs to be of extraterrestrial origin) and joined his civilian UFO study group N.I.C.A.P. (National Investigative Committee on Aerial Phenomena). Concerning UFOs (following an initial early bout of skepticism) Jung himself once wrote: “the ‘disks’ … show signs of intelligent guidance… Our present day observations of Saucers coincide - mutatis mutandis with the many reports going back into antiquity…” - Dr. Carl Jung Himself on Unidentified Flying Objects [Reprint from Flying Saucer Review Vol.1, No. 2 (May/June 1955)]. Psychiatry itself plays a role in the realm of UFO investigations as UFO contactees at times undergo hypnosis by psychiatrists in order to remember forgotten details of an often traumatic experience, and many UFO contactees and those who have experienced sightings—and this is especially true in the case of airplane pilots—are often subsequently subjected to psychiatric testing in order to determine their states of mental health. UFO contact [like demonic possession] itself often manifests as a form of schizophrenia: “In some cases the contactee hears only a voice within his consciousness… In this type of case the contactee is likened to a mental patient inflicted with schizophrenia. Experts refer to this type of contactee as a case of UFO possession—the earthling seems to be in the control of an entity from outer space.” – p.66 Sons of God Return by Kelly L. Segraves, 1975 A.D.) Another such UFO religion is the British-based Aetherius Society [located at Aetherius House, 757, Fulham Road, London S.W.6] with which Benjamin Crème, an avid follower of Alice A. Bailey of the Theosophical Society, is associated. The Hollywood offering Close Encounters of the Third Kind directed by Steven Spielberg was to the Atherius Society what Rosemary’s Baby was to the Church of Satan, a propaganda extravaganza: “(The Christian UFO Research Association) CHRUFORA saw the imminent release of the Steven Spielberg film Close Encounters of the Third Kind as the most obvious focus for their campaign launch. (Reverend Paul) Inglesby described the massive popularity of the film as ‘slow poison, more deadly even than The Exorcist.’ The use by Spielberg of the Devil’s Tower monument in Wyoming as the focal point of the film’s final close encounter was clear evidence to CHRUFORA of the movie’s demonic inspiration. Members also identified a number of other evil elements in the plot. For example, those contacted by the aliens are subject to a form of ‘mind control’ (demonic possession) that gives them an overwhelming 1030

desire to make their way to the Devil’s Tower. At the climax of the movie, the UFO entities are portrayed as benevolent and angelic, and—as all well-informed demonologists know— Satan’s demons are able to disguise themselves as ‘angels of light’ to deceive world leaders. Rev. Millican’s reaction to the opening of the film in his native Bristol (Bristol was one-time home to a Stella Matutina temple [See p.131 The Rebirth of Witchcraft]) was to set up a stall in the foyer of the Odeon Film Centre. By June 1978, over 150,000 people had passed through; there were plenty of souls to save. During his campaign, he handed out 4,000 leaflets warning cinemagoers that UFOs were not ETs (extra-terrestrials) but ‘the devil’s messengers.’ Millican’s display was in direct opposition to the message of the local UFO club and the Aetherius Society – which had 20 stalls of its own at cinemas up and down the country – but his demonic message seems to have been the most newsworthy.” - Flying Saucers From Hell by Dr David Clarke (2006 A.D.) John A. Keel in an article appearing in Flying Saucer Review likewise lamented: “Those of us who have been concerned about the true nature and intent of UFOs must regard this popularization and exploitation of the UFO lore with some alarm. Hollywood has chosen only a small part of the whole problem for the glamour treatment and Close Encounters assures its audiences that the Ufonauts are really friendly, super-intelligent creatures sympathetic to the human condition. We know this has seldom been the case in real-life UFO encounters. The film is a propaganda masterpiece, not only in getting the public to accept UFOs, but leading them to accept the benevolence of the Ufonauts…The abject horror of those who have experienced close encounters and their agonizing suffering afterwords, are whitewashed by this film. People leaving the theatre find themselves gazing at the sky wistfully, hoping it will happen to them, convinced that the advent of the flying saucers is somehow a religious event … mankind meeting the gods.” - FSR: Close Encounters of a Religious Kind by John A. Keel As must be noted at this time, angels are called Watchers of men, the word ‘watch’ being synonymous with the word ‘surveillance.’ As Dr. James McDonald testified before the United States Congress in 1968 A.D.: “My own present opinion, based on two years of careful study, is that UFOs are probably extraterrestrial devices engaged in something that might very tentatively be termed 'surveillance.'” - Dr. James McDonald before Congress, 1968 (Notable Pertinent Quote “…the scientist and former Air Force UFO consultant, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, has written a book, The UFO Experience, which concludes that we are now being watched by beings from another world. I cannot prove it, but I think we are still being watched by those 'ancient astronauts,' the ones who started the Biblical religion [See Psalms 33:13-14].” - The Bible and Flying Saucers by Barry H. Downing. And indeed: “…messages from supposedly extraterrestrial entities known as ‘The Watchers,’ or ‘The Guardians’ … have been reported for many years.” – p.89 The UFO Report by Timothy Good, 1989 A.D As a pertinent example, parapsychologist Meade Layne (b.1882-d.1961 A.D.), a professor at the University of Southern California and founder of the Borderland Scientists Research Associates/Borderland Scientists Research Foundation paranormal/UFO/psychical research organization (publishers of the Journal for Borderland Research [both of which are still in existence today]), is said to have been in contact (beginning in 1946 A.D., a year prior to the Kenneth Arnold sighting in 1947 A.D.) with ufonauts he referred to as the “Guardians” through the help of spiritualist medium Mark Probert (See The Coming of the Guardians by Meade Layne, 1954 A.D.). Meade Layne’s book The Ether Ship Mystery and its Solution (1957 A.D.) would wed the UFO mystery to the mysticism of the Kabala. Concerning Meade Layne’s UFO channelings: “There are a few names that stick out more than others, on these pages: Rudolph Steiner, Wilhelm Reich, Ruth Drown [an early practitioner of radionics, the treatment of disease through the use of radio 1031

waves], and Meade Layne. Ruth Drown was a student of the Kabbalah, and counted among her friends and supporters Arthur Young (of Bell Helicopter fame [an aeronautics company founded by Lawrence Dale Bell in Buffalo, NY], and a part of the "Stargate Conspiracy"). (Philosopher/astrologer) Arthur Young (founder of the "Institute for the Study of Consciousness" in Berkeley, CA in 1972 A.D.) was associated with Harry Smith (a comember along with Jack Parsons of Charles Stansfeld Jones’s OTO lodge), a student of (Aleister) Crowley (Arthur Young was married to OSS agent Mary Bancroft’s Art Students League** trained artist friend Ruth Forbes Paine (1903–1998)(**alma mater of Robert Rauschenberg who served as stage manager for The Merce Cunningham Dance Company which worked in association with many artists including Andy Warhol, an associate of OTOmember Harry Smith and Hollywood actor Dennis Hopper whose own father Jay Hopper had been a member of Jack Parson’s OTO lodge), a member of the Boston Brahmin Forbes family (Forbes family forebear Robert Bennet Forbes who played a prominent role in the outbreak of the First Opium War in 1839 A.D. served as the head of Stewart Russell and Company, the largest American trading house in China which was involved in the global opium trade), a great-granddaughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson and the mother of Harvard University-grad Michael Paine, an individual made famous for his wife’s association with presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald [it was she who got Oswald the job at the Texas Book Depository], the infamous assassin of U.S. President John F. Kennedy [Michael Paine would even testify before the Warren Commision that Oswald had stored the rifle used to kill JFK in Michael Paine’s garage]. Note this OTO connection to the Kennedy assassination)...and Meade Layne was a pupil of, among other people, Frater Achad (Charles Stansfeld Jones) [an OTO lodge leader who reported directly to OTO-member Aleister Crowley], (OTO-member) William Wallace Webb (a member of Ordo Templi Orientis Antiqua in Chicago), and is said to have been associated with Dion Fortune’s Fraternity of the Inner Light. Layne, too, was a contemporary of Israel Regardie, who lived briefly in San Diego, before moving to Los Angeles. Ruth Drown on the other hand, was located all or most of her life, in Los Angeles, and came across Meade Layne, and others who visited her.” – The Stargate Conspiracy. As noted by New Age author Max Freedom Long in Huna Research Associates’ Huna Bulletin 21: “...(University of Southern California professor) Meade Layne (founder of Borderland Scientists Research Associates** and publisher of Round Robin and The Flying Roll magazines) was a student of not only the Fraternity of the Inner Light (and of its founder, DION FORTUNE), but also a contemporary and friend of (Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-member) Israel ‘Frank’ Regardie, and held the Kabbalah Unveiled to be a very important book, along with Regardie’s Golden Dawn, published by Aries Press in 1936, it is clear to us that we who are known as Borderland Scientists can claim all of these people as our Ancestors in the Authentic (Golden Dawn/OTO) Tradition, even if we possess no paper charter to give us any authorization to do so!” (** “Meade Layne founded [in 1945 A.D.] the Borderland Sciences Research (Associates) Foundation [the BSRA located at 3524 Adams Ave. in San Diego, CA] to ventilate all manner of borderland [Spiritualist] phenomena. The idea was to deal with things that official science declines to approach. The etheric interpretation [a variation of the Extradimensional Hypothesis] of the discs [as set forth in Layne’s 1957 A.D. book The Ether Ship Mystery and its Solution] was the major initial contribution of BSRA to contemporary thought. Establishment ufology, of course does not acknowledge the etheric interpretation of the aeroforms, preferring the comfort of mechanistically-oriented naivetes, applied on an ad hoc basis to individual UFO happenings.” - p.198 The Stargate Conspiracy). The University of Southern California was and likely is to this day a veritable bastion of the OTO. One may officially begin their OTO witchhunt at the aforementioned research/educational organizations. The Jewish Kabbalist Jaques Bergier expressed the following sentiment in his book entitled Extraterrestrial Visitations from Prehistoric Times to the Present: 1032

“Charles Fort** said: ‘We are the property of someone.’ I go further than he does, in declaring that we are the creation of someone; and less far, in postulating that we are under surveillance and perhaps ‘they’ intervene in our activities and in our history. Why hasn’t there been, and isn’t there, direct, open contact between ‘them’ and us? This question is frequently debated. For my part, I believe that these contacts do exist, but that they are hidden from man as a whole and have taken place, at well-defined periods, only with very advanced individuals, who have been above the average of their fellows.” – Prologue to Extraterrestrial Visitations from Prehistoric Times to the Present by Jacques Bergier, English Version 1973 A.D./Original publication date: 1970 A.D. Bergier was co-author of The Morning of the Magicians (**Charles Fort, who wrote upon the subject of flying saucers in his books entitled The Book of the Damned [1919 A.D.], New Lands [1923 A.D.], Lo! [1931 A.D.] and Wild Talents [1933 A.D.] is generally considered to be the founder of modern ufology) “In their 1966 book Intelligent Life in the Universe astrophysicists I.S. Shklovski and (Pulitzer Prize-winning author) Carl Sagan devote a chapter to arguments that scientists and historians should seriously consider the possibility that extraterrestrial contact occurred during recorded history.” – Wikipedia: Ancient Astronauts (As explained in UFO researcher John A. Keel’s most illuminating book entitled Why UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse p. 62 (1970 A.D.): “In a paper presented before the American Rocket Society on November 15, 1962, Dr. Carl Sagan, a young Harvard astronomer…urged that ancient myths and legends be reexamined for possible clues to an early visit by an extraterrestrial civilization.” On p.26 he writes: “Like most UFO researchers, I have read the Bible carefully several times. In view of what we now know—or suspect—about flying saucers, many of the Biblical accounts of things in the sky take on a new meaning and even corroborate some of the things happening today.” Keel was also, as evidenced by his novel Jadoo, quite the magic adept. The UFO phenomoenom is also represented in the myths and legends associated with magic and witchcraft. British witch/author Nigel Jackson writes circa 1996 A.D. in Masks of Misrule (p.42) that certain aspects of known historical encounters associated with the Horned God of the witches [the horned ‘god’ of the witches, Cernunnos, who is the alien angel Azazel] “exhibit certain features in common with so-called ‘alien abductions’ in our own day…”) ` Indeed: “Throughout most of history, the manifestations of demonology (the study of demons) and demonopathy (demonic possession) have been viewed from a religious perspective and explained as the work of the Devil. The bizarre manipulations and ill effects described in the demonological literature are usually regarded as the result of a great unseen conflict between God and the Devil. In UFO lore, the same conflict has been observed…The quasi-angels of Biblical times have become magnificent spacemen…A major, but little-explored, aspect of the UFO phenomenon is therefore theological and philosophical rather than purely scientific. The UFO problem can never be untangled by physicists and scientists unless they are men who have also been schooled in liberal arts, theology, and philosophy (such as he himself was, I might add).” - UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse (John A. Keel, 1970 A.D.) (Notable quote: “Angelology is a fascinating offshoot of demonology. The appearances of angels have been chronicled down through the ages, and several new angel reports still turn up each year. Once again we find that these reports contain all the basic ingredients of the UFO reports.” - UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D.) “What we are witnessing is a reenactment of some very ancient myths and legends common to many of the world’s religious traditions. The most obvious is the ongoing battle for the souls of mankind between the opposing forces of light and dark, good and evil, God and the Devil, played out in a technological setting where spaceships replace traditional religious imagery.” Flying Saucers From Hell by Dr David Clarke (2006 A.D.) 1033

Even the politically influential American evangelical Southern Baptist minister Billy Graham (who has met with no less than twelve U.S. Presidents and who is, most interestingly enough, a 33° Freemason, a testament to their ability to infiltrate well established organizations) in his book entitled Angels: God’s Secret Agents in a round-about way acknowledges: “…UFOs are astonishingly ‘angel-like’ in some of their reported appearances…” Indeed: “It seems likely that Satan and his fallen angels may be somehow involved in UFO sightings and alien encounters and are involved in deceiving the spiritually naive. A growing number of evangelicals now seem to agree.” - Flying Saucers and Alien Abductions: What’s a Christian to Think? by Louis D. Whitworth, Crossroads Evangelical Ministries (The “internationally known scholar”/ufologist Dr. Clifford Wilson astutely poses the following question in his book U.F.O.s and their Mission Impossible to which query I would answer with a resounding yes: “Is there a desperate preparation for a last-ditch stand by the forces of evil, a final attempt to thwart the plans of the Holy God against Whom they have rebelled?” Yes. This is exactly what is taking place. But God has defeated them before and will inevitably defeat them again. And He is coming soon) As Whitworth therein explains: “The personal reactions of victims after alien abduction or extensive alien contact point out the demonic nature of these extraterrestrial visitors…Abductee surveys have revealed that the overwhelming majority of abductees have shown an interest in paranormal activities, Eastern religions, and [the] New Age world-view…The fact that very few born-again Christians show up among abductees is instructive.” Concerning The Alien Message to Humanity Whitworth writes: “Routine communication by aliens to humans is largely accomplished telepathically. Another common element in these encounters is the presentation to the abductee of long detailed messages on large screens inside the craft. These communications usually warn of cataclysmic events and destruction coming upon the earth. Sometimes the information is blatantly religious, claiming (1) that we humans were created by the aliens, (2) that the aliens are trying to promote us along the road of evolution by their hybrid breeding program, and (3) that mankind must unite, through alien supervision, into a one-world government and a oneworld religion in order to survive.” As Whitworth concludes: “The ultimate goal of the aliens is to deceive and mislead as many people as possible in order to keep people from coming to saving faith in Jesus Christ…Satan and his fallen angels…are using a different approach and some new disguises, but its the same age-old deception.” This belief is exemplary of the Demonic Theory of UFOs. (Notable Quote: “There is not a single UFO incident on record that cannot be explained as a demonic deception or apparition…What does seem clear, from a spiritual perspective, is that the ultimate purpose of the UFO phenomenon is to help prepare the collective consciousness of the human race for the coming of the Antichrist as foretold in the Bible.” – FSR: UFOs: A Demonic Conspiracy by Fr. Thomas Kulp. Concerning modern UFO sightings Reverend Paul Inglesby (6/27/01) notes: “…my unshakeable belief is that there is no such thing as a good UFO. They are all what the Church calls deceptions of the devil.” Satan is, as must be noted: “…the prince of the power of the air” [See Ephesians 2:2]) (Another related theory is the Jinn Theory of UFOs, that UFOs can be attributed to the beings known as the Jinn as set forth in the Islamic holy book known as the Quran/Koran and as also illustrated in the One Thousand and One Nights/Arabian Nights tales. For an interesting take on this theory see A Brief Account of the True Nature of the “UFO Entities” by [former RAF Intelligence officer/SPR/Ghost Club member] Gordon Creighton,** Flying Saucer Review Vol. 29, No. 5. As regards the fact the jinni represent fallen angels, this theory also has merit. 1034

I do not believe, however, that there is any such a thing as benevolent jinni) “We are not the first people in our world’s history to see UFO’s. Records of sightings exist from all periods…But today the sightings are accelerating in number, with the last thirty years presenting a virtual explosion in the phenomenon. Something definitely is up…We think demons are behind this startling phenomenon, and we think their activity is connected to the upcoming Tribulation period.” – UFOs: What on Earth is Happening by Weldon/Levitt 1975 A.D. Most legitimate UFO sightings today may indeed be attributed to the activities of the saucershaped/“wheel”-shaped cherubim of the rebellious fallen angels. The angels were particularly notably active in the mid 20th Century A.D.: “The beginning of the modern UFO era is often traced back to June 24, 1947, when businessman Kenneth Arnold sighted “a formation of very bright objects” while flying over the Cascade mountains of Washington State…Arnold described the objects as moving “like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water.” Bill Bequette, a reporter with the East Oregonian newspaper, recalled Arnold's description when he later placed his story on the AP wire. His use of the phrase “saucer-like” gave the phenomenon a name: “flying saucers” … Kenneth Arnold's sighting was one of the first of over 850 UFO reports to appear in the US media by the end of July, 1947. Approximately 150 reports made their way into the files of Technical Intelligence, T-2, at Wright Field (Wright Patterson AFB being the headquarters for the U.S. Air Force’s Project Sign UFO investigations). Today these files are part of the USAF Project Blue Book files located at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland…Perhaps even better known than Kenneth Arnold's sighting is the so-called Roswell Incident, the alleged retrieval** and cover-up of a crashed flying disc somewhere near Roswell, New Mexico, in June/July, 1947.” - PROJECT 1947: UFO REPORTS – 1947 (** it was the U.S. Army Air Force’s 509th Operations Group headquartered at Roswell Army Air Field which purportedly recovered the craft. The 509th was the home base of the Enola Gay, the B-29

Superfortress piloted by Paul W. Tibbets, Jr. who under the command of General ‘Hap’ Arnold and Manhattan Project Navy Rear Admirel William Sterling Parsons dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan during the final days of WWII) Some four months following this incident at Roswell: “The newly created United Nations approved the Partition Plan for Palestine (United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181) on November 29, 1947, which sought to divide the country into two states—one Arab and one Jewish. Jerusalem was to be designated an international city—a corpus separatum—administered by the UN.” – Wikipedia Soon after came the declaration of the state of Israel by David Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv on May 14, 1948 A.D. (May Day according to the Julian Calendar) successfully bringing to an end the British Mandate for Palestine which provided for “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish” people the commission of which was established by the League of Nations in the aftermath of World War I with the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire under the terms of the Treaty of Sèvres signed on the 10th of August, 1920 A.D. in accordance with formal British government policy as set forth in the The Balfour Declaration: “The Balfour Declaration of 1917 (dated 2 November 1917; All-Souls Day, established for those who reside in Purgatory) was a formal statement of policy by the British government stating that His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the 1035

civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.” The declaration was made in a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Baron Rothschild (Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild), a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. The letter reflected the position of the British Cabinet, as agreed upon in a meeting on 31 October 1917 (on Samhain/Halloween). It further stated that the declaration is a sign of ‘sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations.’” – Wikipedia: Balfour Declaration of 1917 (“In the early 20th century, the Western powers controlled Asia and Africa and identified a wealth of assets in the Middle East. In 1916, Sir Mark Sykes and Francois Georges-Picot—a British official and a French diplomat, respectively—drew up an agreement (the so-called Sykes-Picot Agreement) on behalf of their governments describing a tentative division of the Ottoman Empire, which was fighting alongside Germany (during WWI) against the Allies…In essence, Sykes’ and Picot’s governments coveted Syria and most of Palestine for France, and what was later to become Iraq for Britain. In his fascinating book “A Peace to End All Peace” (1989), American historian David Fromkin describes how the great powers shaped the map of the Middle East in World War I and thereafter. According to Fromkin, the anti-Semitic view that the Jews had the ability to influence those powers and foment conspiracies underlay the diplomacy of the Western countries, which hoped to harness Jewish might (the Zionism movement) on their behalf. After reaching the agreement with Picot, Sykes was about to set out for Saint Petersburg, the capital of the czarist empire, to present the details to the Russians—who had always wanted to gain control of Istanbul and have access to the Mediterranean Sea. En route, Sykes met [Admiral] William Reginald Hall, head of Royal Naval Intelligence, in London and showed him his map. Hall told him Britain should send its forces to Palestine and only then would the Arabs switch to its side in the war. “Force is the best Arab propaganda” to use when dealing with the Arabs, the intelligence officer explained to the diplomat. (Or translated into our present-day Israeli lingo: “The only thing the Arabs understand is force.”) Sykes was convinced the agreement he had concocted with the French would satisfy Sharif Hussein (the Hashimite Sharif of Mecca, a rival to the House of Saud [the later rulers of Saudi Arabia]; only direct descendents of the Prophet Muhammed may bear the title ‘Sharif’) of the Hejaz (with whom was working British Intelligence agent T.E. Lawrence, the world renowned Lawrence of Arabia; along with fellow archaeologist Gertrude Bell [an Intelligence agent dispatched to the Middle East by the aforementioned Naval Intelligence director Admiral Reginald Hall [she was also using archaeology as her cover; See p.148 Churchill’s Wizards], whose grandfather was an M.P. in Benjamin Disraeli’s government (Disraeli was as you recall was founder of the Carbonari group Young England)], Lawrence also worked with the [Carbonari group] Young Turks, leaders of The Young Turk Revolution of 1908 A.D., against German-led forces of the Ottoman Empire. Under the command of Hall’s Arab Bureau’s Department of Intelligence head Gilbert Clayton, Lawrence and his group would help to foment what is known as the ‘Arab Revolt’), the progenitor of the Hashemite dynasty, who sought independence for his people from the Ottoman Empire in exchange for support of the British (it was in fact the British who sought their help in defending British Middle Eastern oil interests [by whom he would be later double-crossed] following the catastrophic British defeat at Gallipoli [See Churchill’s Wizards], promised lands that were given for a Jewish homeland). And then Hall surprised his British interlocutor by introducing a new factor into the power equation: The Jews, he said, had “a strong material, and a very strong political, interest in the future of the country.” Sykes was dumbstruck. He had never heard of Zionism before then. He rushed to a meeting with the Jewish minister in the British war cabinet, Herbert Samuel (born in Toxteth, Liverpool), for an explanation. This was the start of the process that would lead later to the Balfour Declaration, the conquest of Palestine, the establishment of the British Mandate, and the appointment of Samuel as its first high commissioner (High Commissioner of Palestine). At this point were sown the seeds of Arab anger at the Western powers, which had dismantled and then reassembled nations and states in 1036

the Middle East and promised Palestine to the Zionists. The final borders in the Middle East were set by then-Colonial Secretary (and later British Prime Minister) Winston Churchill (T.E. Lawrence joined Churchill’s Colonial Office in 1921 A.D. and helped Churchill to draw up these ‘final borders’ [Ibid p.177]) at the Cairo Conference in 1922, which separated Transjordan (modern Jordan, which included the ‘West Bank’ of the Jordan River, which Israel later captured from Jordan during the 1967 A.D. Arab-Israeli War. It is this land which Palestinians claim as their own) from the boundaries of the Palestine Mandate. The Israeli right mourns that “tearing apart” to this very day.” - Caution: Middle East under construction by Aluf Benn, Haaretz Daily Newspaper 3/25/11) The Treaty of Versailles which was signed on June 28, 1919 A.D. formally brought Germany’s participation in World War I to an ignominious end and contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and to the onset of World War II. The Second World War brought RAF/Army Air Force reports of mysterious round, lighted UFO’s known as Foo Fighters** capable of moving at incredible speeds, the reported sightings of which occur in both the European and Pacific Theaters of Operation. (** As UFO investigator H.P. Robertson, head of the Robertson Panel has noted: “If the term ‘flying saucers’ had been popular in 1943-1945, these objects would have been so labeled.” [See p.16 Strange Skies: Pilot Encounter with UFOs (2003 A.D.) by ufologist Jerome Clark]) In the realm of UFOs it is often hard to separate fact from fiction. As demonstrated by Projects Grudge and Blue Book, much government misinformation exists, as does a plethora of reports of a highly dubious nature. The rash of UFO sightings in America following World War II produced a number of government Intelligence investigatory projects, these often being highly secretive in nature: “Project Sign was an official U.S. Government study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) undertaken by the United States Air Force (the USAF was formed as a separate branch of the military in September of 1947 A.D.) in late 1947 (following the incident at Roswell amidst the 1947 UFO flap) and dissolved in late 1948… Some of Sign’s personnel including director Robert Sneider, favored the extraterrestrial hypothesis (abbreviated as ETH) (that credible UFO reports can be credited to UFOs which are extrarerrestial in nature) as the best explanation for UFO reports. They prepared the Estimate of the Situation arguing their case. This theory was ultimately rejected by high-ranking officers, and Project Sign was dissolved and replaced by Project Grudge.” – Wikipedia: Project Sign (As occultist/psychical researcher Colin Wilson explains in Alien Dawn: “Project Grudge…was more intent on soothing and misinforming the American public than in uncovering new information.” One of the men who had been involved with Project Sign which sought to sweep mounting public inquiries concerning UFO reports under the proverbial rug was a man named Alfred Loedding, present at a number of classified early rocketry tests conducted by Jack Parsons and company in conjunction with the United States Army Air Force [See p.75 Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter, 1999 A.D.]. Another interesting character in the Jack Parsons saga is a man named Andrew G. Haley, who coined the term Metalaw [a concept of space law based on a set of ‘universal’ laws as set forth by spiritualist Immanuel Kant] in relation to the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) governing any future humanalien contact with extraterrestrial intelligences which mankind may in the future expect to encounter [and as Dr. Ernst Fasan elaborately proposed concerning Relations with Alien Intelligences and “the entire sum of legal rules regulating relationships between different races in the universe,” in express advocation of an Alien Equal Rights amendment of sorts— perhaps alleged alien autopsies and pickled alien bodies were a wholly unacceptable state of intergallactic affairs in their greatly enlightened eyes. Or perhaps they had hoped that cattle mutilations and assorted anal probings would stop as these hostile aliens forces likewise 1037

responded in turn. Now if we could just get those pesky fallen angels to sign on…]) Occultist Kenneth Grant credits Jack Parsons’ Babalon Working magic ritual for the aforementioned 1947 A.D. UFO flap: "The [Babalon] Working began in 1945-46, a few months before Crowley's death in 1947, and just prior to the wave of unexplained aerial phenomena now recalled as the 'Great Flying Saucer Flap' (of June/July, 1947 A.D.)...Parsons opened a door and something flew in (it must be remembered as has been noted both Crowley and Parsons claimed to be in contact with the fallen alien angels). A Gateway for the Great Old Ones has already been established—and opened—by members of the O.T.O. who are in rapport with this entity [Lam, an extraterrestrial being whom Crowley supposedly contacted while in America…]." – Kenneth Grant (See also p.50 Outside the Circles of Time, Kenneth Grant, 1980 A.D. This book exhibits a strong Gematria influence) Parsons’ partner in the Babalon Working, Marjorie Cameron, was also a firm believer in UFOs and even spoke of encountering such a flying saucer (which likely made an appearance in response to Parson’s Babalon Working magic ritual). Concerning this incident Tristan Eldrich writes: “Did Jack Parsons' fool-hardy magick really open some kind of door, a door that would haunt the skies of the twentieth century with the peripheral spectre of the UFO? (Kenneth) Grant’s theory is undoubtedly among the stranger and more fanciful we have heard for the origin of the (flying) saucers. Nevertheless, it is interesting to note that in March of 1946, Marjorie Cameron witnessed a flying saucer hovering over the Parsonage (Parsons and other OTO members had long been involved in magic rituals invoking the fallen angels); had she reported it, this would have made her the first eyewitness of the Great Flap of 47. Writing about the incident to (Crowley-disciple) Jane Wolfe in 1953, Cameron associated the craft with the ‘war engines’ promised in Crowley's Book of the Law: ‘The flying saucers - the miracle! - our war engine! I saw the first one in the spring of 1946...’” - American History Hex Conclusion; the selection to which Ms. Cameron refers reads: “I am a god of War and of Vengeance…I will give you a war-engine. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you.” – The Book of the Law 3.3,7-8. As Francis King writes in The Magical World of Aleister Crowley p.171: “(Jack) Parsons also believed in the existence of flying saucers, arguing that they were a mysterious 'engine' mentioned in The Book of the Law and would play a part in converting the world to Crowleyanity.” (Pertinent Quote: “…ufologist John A. Keel has drawn a close parallel between the sinister acts of the Illuminati Cult (related to witchcraft and black magic) and certain UFO phenomena. In his research on the occult and magic practices of John Whiteside (Jack) Parsons, a rocket fuel scientist deeply involved in ritual, he notes the presence of power failures, strange glowing lights, and temporary paralysis, all common in UFO reports.” – UFOs: What on Earth is Happening by Weldon/Levitt, 1975 A.D.) (One 1950s ‘UFO contactee’ of note was a Theosophist author and friend of UFO contactee George Adamski named George Hunt Williamson [both of whom directly associated with the British Intelligence-associated individuals editing Flying Saucer Review magazine] who reportedly channeled extraterrestrial UFO saucer crews with the use of a homemade spirit board. Another contactee, Truman Bethurman, was a fortune teller/spiritual advisor. Indeed: “Although most of the [UFO] contactees claim an initial physical contact with a space being, the operable mechanics of the experience seem reminiscent of what can be seen in Spiritualism as the medium works with a spirit guide or a control from the "other side." In Spiritualistic or mediumistic channeling, the sensitive individual enters the trance state and relays information through the guide, who contacts various spirits…The mechanism in the Flying Saucer Movement is often that of the contactee going into some state of trance and channeling information from space beings. George King [founder of the Aetherius Society 1038

which maintains centers in London and Los Angeles and which owes its genesis to the Theosophical Society itself], George Van Tassel, Gloria Lee, George Hunt Williamson, and several other contactees have been members of psychic development groups.” - UFO Contactees and Abductees, Gale Encyclopedia of the Unusual and Unexplained [2003 A.D.]) The “yes” men brought in, the age of cover-up began in earnest: “Project Grudge was a short-lived project by the U.S. Air Force to investigate unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Grudge succeeded Project Sign in February, 1949…The project formally ended in December 1949, but actually continued on in a very minimal capacity until late 1951…and was then followed by Project Blue Book. Project Blue Book was one of a series of systematic studies of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) conducted by the United States Air Force (U.S.A.F.) started in 1952…” – Wikipedia: Project Grudge (Is their any wonder why America’s Intelligence agencies, with a long history of secret communication during magic rituals with UFO occupants who in all actuality are rebel angels and under whose control they had fallen, would seek to undertake such a cover-up and misinformation campaign? I should think not. As previously noted, the possibility exists that incarnate angels in human-like bodies have infiltrated the highest reaches of the government and armed forces themselves: “The belief that alien parahumans are living among us is not confined to ufology circles. Numerous religious and occult groups have claimed for hundreds of years that angels and devils who look and act exactly like us have been in our mist since the dawn of man…The late Dr. James McDonald, a meteorologist from the University of Arizona who became embroiled in the UFO controversy, privately discussed, in his last years, the possibility that alien beings were not only present on this planet but were systematically taking over top posts in the government and military.” - SAGA: The Flying Saucer Evidence Everyone Ignores by John A. Keel) The era of coverup and secrecy continued. One notable incident occurring in 1952 A.D. included: “The 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident, also known as the Washington flap or the Washington National Airport Sightings, was a series of unidentified flying object reports from July 12 to July 29, 1952, over Washington D.C. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19–20 and July 26–27. Longtime ufologist Richard H. Hall, who served as the assistant director of NICAP and as the director of the Fund for UFO Research, writes “The summer 1952 UFO sighting wave was one of the largest of all time, and arguably the most significant of all time in terms of the credible reports and hardcore scientific data obtained.” … The sightings of July 19–20, 1952, made front-page headlines in newspapers around the nation (note this date. It is one with which we are quite familiar).” – Wikipedia: 1952 Washington D.C. UFO incident (The first of these incidents took place, as must be noted, on the day the last ‘secret rites’ were administered for Jack Parsons on July 19. 1952 A.D. subsequent to his death, and it is possible the rebel angels staged a show for this event) (“Recently [in 1969 A.D.] the U.S. Government Printing Office issued a publication compiled by the Library of Congress for the Air Force Office of Scientific Research: UFOs and Related Subjects: An Annotated Bibliography. In preparing this work, the senior bibliographer, Miss Lynn E. Catoe, actually read thousands of UFO articles, books, and publications. In her preface to this 400-page book she states: A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing, and invisible entities, as well as phenomena like poltergeist manifestations and possession....Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demoniac possession and psychic phenomena which has long been known to theologians and parapsychologists.” – p.38 Why UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse by John A. Keel, 1970 A.D.) 1039

On July 19/20, 1952 A.D. (coincidentally enough the very same date of Azazel’s expected future release, this date also coinciding with annual Bohemian Grove magic festivities which include the conjuring of/communication with the rebellious alien fallen angels), seven unidentified flying objects (recall the Maskims, Satan’s group of seven cherubim) appeared over the White House (Presidents Carter and Reagan have also both reported UFO sightings, Carter twice), the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States of America (who at this time was 33° Freemason U.S. President Harry S. Truman), also appearing over the United States Capitol building, which is the meeting place of the United States Congress, located purposely on a high-place, on the new Capitoline Hill (Capitol Hill was in fact named after the Capitoline Hill in Rome). The House of the Temple, headquarters of the (33°) Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in the Southern Jurisdiction, is also located in Washington, D.C., 13 blocks away from the White House. While many work in association with and/or under the influence of these alien ‘fallen angels,’ the truth itself may never be told.

Appendix A The Rose Cross of Azazel According to an esoteric reading of the Tarot, a Red Rose represents Venus (Azazel’s human wife), while a Red Cross represents the angel Azazel. The combined RoseCross in one respect represents the sexual union of Azazel and his human wife. The word ‘Rosicrucian’ is German for ‘Rose Cross,’ a term synonymous with Red Cross. In addition to this, the word ‘rose’ is an anagram for Eros, the name of the Greek god of Love, who was the first-born son of the angel Azazel and of his human wife. The 18th Degree in Freemasonry is commonly known as the Rose-Croix (Rose Cross), a fact showing the relation to and establishing a link between these two seemingly diverse organizations. In fact, the ascension of Freemasonry (not to be confused with the more archaic Masonry) as we know it today correspondingly relates to the decline of the Rosicrucian order in Europe, most markedly in Germany, the birthplace of Rosicrucianism (Dr Sigismund Bacstrom, an important Rosicrucian scholar of the alchemical sciences, wrote in Bacstrom’s Rosicrucian Society (circa late 18th to early 19th Centuries A.D.) of “the August most ancient and most learned (Rosicrucian) Society, the Investigators of Divine, Spiritual and Natural Truth (which Society, more than two centuries and a half ago (during the 15th Century), did separate themselves from the Freemasons…).” These movements being inter-related and dynamic by their their very natures, Freemasonry later re-absorbed many Rosicrucians back within its ranks (See pp.55-56 Proofs of a Conspiracy: Chapter I by John Robinson, 1798 A.D.). There are many Rosicrucian Societies yet in existence today, most notably the SRIA and AMORC. In addition, and of a most interesting note, the Order of Maat Supreme Grand Lodge owns a web site called Links Central of Maat (M.A.A.T. = Master of the Temple A:.A:. [A:.A:. = Aleister Crowley’s Argenteum Astrum/Silver Star**]. See p. 241 Nightside of Eden by Kenneth Grant, 1977 A.D. “The Master of the Temple A.’A.’ (whose name is Truth [Maat])” [See p.159 Outside the Circles of Time, Kenneth Grant, 1980 A.D.] [** “The ‘Silver Star’ of the order’s name is Sirius, which holds a central place in its magickal philosophy, because the Secret Chiefs—the discarnate entities believed to govern the order—were somehow connected with Sirius.” – The Stargate Conspiracy pp.270-1]), by their own profession “a web ring for Rosicrucians,” which employs a rose-cross ankh symbol (a rosetau). This is derived from the name of the Egyptian god Seker (another name for Osiris), who represented the angel Azazel, who was called ‘He of the rosetau,’ which is to say, he of the rose (red) cross. In Scene 2 of the 3rd Tableau of the Initiation of Plato, it is revealed that Azazel’s symbol, “the red cross,” was “traced upon the banner of Egypt,” on what amounted to being the national flag of Egypt. And according to Flying Roll No. 10 (in Roman numerals, 10 = X, so named in honor of Azazel) of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, ‘X’ (a cross variant) is the occult sign of Osiris risen (Osiris represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth [Abydos, the cult center for the worship of Osiris in Egypt, in hieroglyphic pictographic writing is denoted in part by the following depiction of (Azazel’s cherub) Osiris: ]. It is for this reason A. E. Waite, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, lists the Wheel of Fortune, representative of Azazel’s cherub, as the 10th [Roman numeral X] Major Arcana of the Tarot. There exist those who hold the crossed-arm symbolism represents ‘Osiris slain’ [it was in the 10th nome of Egypt where was deposited it is said the ‘divine heart’ of Osiris (See On the Hieratic Papyrus of Nesi-Amsu by E.A. Wallis Budge]). It must also be noted The Church of Scientology employs a similar logo, called the Cross Saltire.** Compare the Cross Saltire to Aleister Crowley’s OTO Rose Cross Lamen (a lamen is a magical charm-like pendent worn around the neck by the leader of a witch’s coven). This signifies Azazel’s (represented by the ‘X’) future appearance as the false Christ (represented by the cross). When the symbol for Azazel (x) is superimposed upon the cross (+), it forms what is known as an eight-point compass rose (compare to the Sumerian cuneiform name of the god An who likewise represented Azazel, in basic form an eight-point compass rose: 1041

. The ‘Compass Rose’ is also known as the

Roman ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and the Buddhist samsara, the ‘Wheel of Life’ [See p.175 Secrets of the Satanic Executioners by Ambrose Bertram Hunter, 2007 A.D.]). For this reason a classical wooden ship’s wheel, which resembles an eight-point compass rose, is at times used as a symbol of Azazel (as are wheels and other devices of similar composition). A ship’s anchor (often found wound round caduceus-style with a chain) is also used as a symbol for the union of Azazel and his human wife, as it represents the union of the tau cross, representative of Azazel, with the crescent moon, the crescent moon being a symbol of Azazel’s human wife). (**Author’s Note: The Process Church of the Final Judgment founded by two exChurch of Scientology members employed a decidedly related symbol depicting a serpent upon a cross [in the place of Christ crucified], what one might venture to identify as a quasi Christianized-version of the palladium (the palladium is related to the Rosicrucian alchemical device known as the ‘Crucified Serpent.’ As Nigel Jackson explains: “One of the oldest symbols in the esoteric tradition is the serpent on the tree (by definition a ‘palladium’ representing the Genesis serpent Azazel [See Genesis 3:1]. That a tree may be employed as a symbol of a cross is evidenced by Galations 3:13). This is usually depicted as a snake coiled or crucified on a Tau cross.” – p.183 The Pillars of Tubal Cain. The signification of the Greek letter‘T’ and the Hebrew ‘t’ as noted by J.F.C. Fuller in his table of Hebrew Alphabet and Correspondences as set forth in his book, The Secret Wisdom of Qabalah [1937 A.D.], is the serpent). The Process Church even had rings made with this cross depicted in red on a white background [within the ‘disk’] the sigil of Azazel [See below]):

In Egyptian hieroglyphics the god Ptah (a god who represented Azazel) is always associated with an ‘x’ within a circle, also known as the quartered circle (for this reason an ox has become an esoteric symbol of Azazel. A male ox is called a bull, a common angel symbol (by extension, Azazel’s human wife may be symbolized as a cow. The Egyptian cow goddess represents Azazel’s human wife). Compare the ‘x’ within a circle symbol of Ptah to the Cross of Wodan, also a cross within a circle. The Germanic god Wodan is yet another god who represented the angel Azazel/Behemoth. The Celtic cross of the Druids also incorporates the ‘cross within a circle’ motif. In some circles the ‘cross within a circle’ motif is known as the Mark of Cain (this is due to the fact that in the Phoenician alphabet the letter ‘T’ is rendered as an ‘X’ and is pronounced ‘tau,’ meaning ‘mark’; the Mark of Cain is also known as the Mark of Set, who is Azazel). Cain of course was the son of Azazel by Eve. The quartered circle was the badge (talisman/magic charm) of the Grand Master of the Knights Templars as well. No doubt it was worn in part to protect the user in battle, as God was said in Genesis 4:15 to have placed such a “mark” upon Cain to keep him from being slain, hence the term, the Mark of Cain). The so-called Freemasonic Scottish Rite 18th Degree Rose Croix quartered circle (also a symbol of the Gnostics/Gnosticism) is a variant of the ‘cross within a circle’ motif due to the fact the ‘quartered circle’ is variously known as the Rose Cross (See p.94 Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils by Fred Gettings). The NATO military alliance also employs a variant of the ‘quartered circle’ logo which is representive of the god of war Azazel. And as we learn from the Wicca witch priestess Doreen Valiente in Witchcraft for Tomorrow pp.67-68, the cross within the circle motif, the sign of Azazel, was one of the designs of the ‘magic circles’ of the witches—the construction of such a ‘magic circle’ was standard practice when witch’s invoked their Horned God, who is Azazel. In fact, the device known as the ‘witches’ mark’ which was employed by the witches (often signed during witches’ initiation ceremonies much like when the Catholic Church similiarly makes the sign of the cross) is itself “an X-shaped cross” (Ibid p.179), the sign of Azazel. This is greatly akin 1042

to the ‘Qabalistic Cross’ signed by touching the forehead, then the solar plexus, the right shoulder then the left shoulder, performed during ceremonial magic rituals as well (See p.51 The Practice of Ritual Magic by Gareth Knight). As in witchcraft, the magic circle of the ceremonial magician is typically divided into “four quarters based on the cardinal points” (Ibid pp.21-22), creating a classic quartered circle/cross within the circle motif. The cross within the circle motif is also known as the Celtic Cross as employed by Celtic pagans which is also known as the ‘wheel cross,’ aka the ‘rose cross’ (See An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present p.405). The signification of the Freemasonic LVX (also rendered LUX) is also the ‘quartered circle’ sign of Azazel: “The early expositors of Freemasonry regarded the Latin word LVX, ‘Light,’ as synonymous with their science, and they dwelt on the fact that by dividing the Circle into four equal parts [the quartered circle] they produced a Cross from which they got the outline of the three Roman letters needed to spell this word - LVX.” – Introduction to The Apocalypse of Freemasonry p.5 by F. De P. Castells, 1924 A.D. (as additionally noted therein, LVX [Light] was also symbolic of the Freemasonic god who was represented by the so-called ‘All-Seeing Eye’ [Ibid p.6] which is for this reason oft depicted surrounded by rays of light, the Being also known as T.G.A.O.T.U., an abbreviated form of The Great Architect of the Universe) The red (rose) cross (in appearance a red X), was emblazoned upon Azazel’s cherub Behemoth: “Lamia is the ‘snake’ among the Ophidian; Lama is the hand: lamh, hand (for this reason a hand may also be used to represent Azazel; two examples are the god Sabazios, who represents Azazel, and whose symbol is a hand and also the witch’s Hand of Glory which likewise represented their Horned God Azazel), is a divine name in the Scythian tongue. It also means the number 10 (in the Hebrew alphabet, the Hebrew letter yodh whose signification is the ‘hand’ in Gematria is assigned the numerical value of 10), and the Roman numeral X, which is a cross…which, according to Eastern allegory, is placed…upon the Rebellious Spirits (read: a red X was emblazoned upon the cherub of the angels) in their ‘abyss’ or ‘prison’ (within the earth).” - The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries by SRIA member Hargrave Jennings, 1870 A.D. (The SRIA is an English Rosicrucian Society. SRIA members, it must be remembered, gave birth to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which derives its “mysteries” in part from this book by Jennings). With this preceding information in mind it is instructive to learn that: “The 10th and central Arcanum [of the Tarot, the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ which symbolizes Azazel’s cherub], [is] circumscribed by the tetramorph [reminiscent of Ezekiel’s cherubic ‘wheel’] and lettered Caph… Caph is ‘the palm of the hand’...” – The Magician’s Dictionary: Wheel of Fortune by E.E. Rehmus) The Knights Templar god Baphomet also represented Azazel. As we learn from The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries p.215, the Coptic [Copts are Egyptian Christians] root –met [such as that encountered in the word Bapho-met] means “ten” (compare also to the name of the Egypt-associated angel Mastema [from Jubilees and the Zadokite Work], an anagram of Met-Sama[el]. Samael is Azazel [“Azazel is Moloch and Samael.” - p.299 Vestiges of the Spirit History of Man by S.F. Dunlap, 1858 A.D.]. Mastema is essentially Metsam-a spelled backwards, a common magic practice). The Roman numeral signifying 10, rendered as an X, a cross variation, is the sign of Azazel (Ba [=ab/father]-pho [=oph/serpent] met [X]). As Doreen Valiente is nice enough to point out: “The distinguished nineteenthcentury French occultist, Eliphas Levi, declared Baphomet of the (Knights) Templars to be indentical with the god of the witches’ Sabbat; it was not the figure of a devil (Satan), however, but of Pan (the Horned God of the witches, who is Azazel)…” - p.53 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present by Doreen Valiente. This author certainly agrees with this assessment. In a like way, Metraya is an anagram of the ‘Arya Met.’ Arya is a Sanskrit word meaning master/lord, with Met of course signifying 10 (the word ten being a cognate of Met), 1043

in Roman numerals rendered as an X (See note on ‘Master X’ below). In her book Witchcraft for Tomorrow p.117 the Wicca witch-priestess Doreen Valiente reveals: “Ogham was a sacred Druid alphabet and would certainly have contained magic secrets…” I would say one of the biggest secrets it reveals is the mystery surrounding the identity of the mysterious Theosophical Society deva known as Master KH (the 10th Aethyr, Khoronzon, Master of Form, hence the moniker Master KH) with whom many highranking members of this society claimed to be in contact. In the sacred Ogham alphabet of the magic-practicing Druids, KH was rendered as an X. Master KH, which is the Druid way to say, Master X, was the Hidden Master Azazel himself. This is also the idea behind the word ‘Ur-Khaos,’ the god of the underworld: KH (X) + A (horned ox head sign of the horned god) + O (the disk, a cherub) + S (the serpent), the horned god whose sign is the serpent of the X-marked disk of the Chaldean city of Ur (Ur-Khaos was later transliterated as Orcus, the Gaelic Druidic god of the underworld/abyss [aka Lord Sathanas who art in Orcus, the serpent seducer of Eve of the Gnostic Ophites]). In Freemasonry, Azazel is known as Khur-Om, most often transliterated as Hiram (See p.70 Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Scottish Freemasonry by Albert Pike). In Hinduism, ‘Om’ signifies deity, the symbol of this god a swastika (See the Yajurveda), in basic form an X composed of two crossed S’s: (Azazel/Asasel/SS-El, the angel/god whose sign is the double serpent. The double S [SS] is one of the sacred symbols of British Druidic hereditary witchcraft [See p.73 The Secrets of Ancient Witchcraft by the British witches Arnold and Patricia Crowther, 1974 A.D.]). (Pertinent Quote: “The letter S, which takes on the curving shape of a snake, corresponds to the Greek khi (X) and takes over its esoteric meaning… It is a theoretical image of the Beast of the Apocalypse**…” - p.152 The Mystery of the Cathedrals by ‘Fulcanelli’) (** A reference to Revelation 17:8 which states: “The beast [Azazel] that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit [where he is entrapped within the earth in the Abyss (from the Late Latin abyssus "bottomless pit," related to the Greek abussos**)], and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast...” - Revelation 17:8) (**The KJV New Testament Greek Lexicon gives the following definition for ‘Abussos’: “Bottomless; unbounded; the abyss; the pit; the immeasurable depth of Orcus [the Gaulish god Orcus, a derivative of Ur-Khaos (Chaos being by definition, the abyss), god of the underworld (of the abyss located at the site of the ancient city of Ur) in which he is entrapped, a god who represented the fallen angel Azazel], a very deep gulf or chasm in the lowest parts of the earth…the abode of demons [read: the abode of the fallen angels where they remain entrapped within the earth].”) (According to Islamic legend [as noted in the 9th10th Century A.D. writings of Islamic scholar Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari], it is said that the fallen angels [jinn] are in fact bound in Babylon [within which was the site of the ancient city of Ur wherein is located the abyss in which the angels are imprisoned] and continue in their imprisonment to teach men magic [See p.115 Fallen Angels: The Soldiers of Satan’s Realm by Bernard J. Bamberger, 1952 A.D.]) According to the Ritual Magic of the Golden Dawn (p.208, King 1987), the rising of Adonai** (read: Azazel: “…Adonai, a Hebrew word for Lord which Crowley employed as a synonym for the Higher Genius, the term used by the Golden Dawn, and for the Holy Guardian Angel, the phrase employed by Abramelin.” - pp.353-4 The Eye in the Triangle by Israel Regardie [and as Regardie explains in Foundations of Practical Magic p.127: “…the Adept seeks to unite himself to his…higher self [which in the realm of psychology is symbolic of the ‘Holy Guardian Angel’], symbolized again in the Hebrew word Adonai.”]), of Mithra the Lord of Wide Pastures was by the ancient mysteries symbolized under the form of a rose (also known as the ‘Rose of Dawn’). In a like way, the gods Adonai and Mithra represented Azazel/Behemoth (** “Adonai has…come to mean, through the Rosicrucian tradition, the Holy Guardian Angel [with whom, it must be noted, magicians sought to communicate].” Eight Lectures on Yoga by Aleister Crowley, 1939 A.D.). Azazel will in the future arise 1044

within his cherub being loosed from his earthly imprisonment. In respect to the angel Azazel, the rose cross also symbolizes the future rising of Azazel/Behemoth, Azazel being accepted as the promised coming Messiah. So the rose is also used as a symbol of Azazel. The red cross as a symbol of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth also hearkens back to the Egyptian mysteries of Osiris. The god Osiris represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, and by extension, Azazel. In the Egyptian Hymn to Osiris, the “disk” of Osiris (Osiris = Behemoth) is identified as the rose tau, the rose (red) cross (“Divine oblation to Osiris [Behemoth] KhentAmenti, lord of Abydos [Lord of the Abyss]…the disk…the rostau” - Hymn to Osiris). Cherubim are disk-shaped. It must also be noted the tau cross (rendered in Greek as a T) is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. Azazel’s prophesied release takes place on the 19th day of July 2016 A.D. In Freemasonry, the symbol for Azazel, a tau cross, is represented by the Tsquare. The Rosicrucians, whose name means “rose cross” in German, names their secret organization after the rostau/disk/Osiris/Behemoth. The Germanic name Christian Rosenkreuz, which in English translates as ‘Christian Rose Cross,’ represents no other persona than the rebellious angel Azazel himself. The name is a play on words which may be interpreted as the christ of the red cross, representing Azazel, whose sign is the red cross, in reference to his future appearance as the false-christ/false prophet/messiah (See Revelation 16:13. According to the Rosicrucian Hargrave Jennings in The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries, p.142, the color red is male and represents the Salvator, a Latin word meaning ‘Savior’). (It must also be mentioned when one adds the disk (O) [Azazel’s cherub is diskshaped], to the word Sirius, it becomes Osirius, and when one drops the ‘u’ it becomes Osiris. The heliacal rising of the star Sirius in 2016 A.D. takes place on the 19th day of July, the day Azazel in his disk-shaped red-cross emblazoned cherub is to emerge from his earthen imprisonment, claiming to be Christ. In this same way, the Babylonian god Ea, alternatively spelled Ia (another such god which represented Azazel/Behemoth), becomes the name of the Gnostic god Iao with the inclusion of the disk [O]). The words ‘Sirius’ and ‘Osiris’ are related to the Semitic word ‘Siru’: “Scholars ordinarily refer to the serpent god (who is Azazel) by the name Siru, being the Semitic word for serpent…” - p.120 Tammuz and Ishtar. In Gematria, the numerical values for the Hebrew words for “messiah” and “serpent” are the same. It would also seem the name Isis is also derived from the word Osiris). As an additional added bonus note, in the ancient Babylonian system of Gematria, where letters are used to represent numbers, the number 10 is represented by the letters IA (which Roman numeral is represented by an X). ‘Ia’ of course is an alternative spelling of the name of the god ‘Ea.’ Compare the modern spelling of our number ‘ten’ to the name of the Egyptian sun disk ‘Aten’ (in Roman, A-X) (AX = IAO = OX). No doubt there exists a connection here. In the pictographic alphabet of the Egyptians, a horned ‘ox head’ (representative of the horned-god Azazel) was the equivalent of the Roman letter ‘A’ (and hence was also derived the anarchist symbol for Azazel, an A within a circle/disk [O]). All of these are designations for Azazel’s cherub Behemoth and by extension, the Horned God Azazel. Additionally, Ax/Abrasax were synonymous terms: “You are Ax (A-ten), you are Abrasax (Ab [father] + Ra [the disk] + S [the serpent] + A [horned oxhead/horned god] + X [ten] (A-ten)), the angel (whose sign is the serpent) who sits upon the tree of Paradise (forming the palladium)...” (A-X is in fact the Archaic Latin alphabetic version of the classical Greek Alpha-Omega, the title of the resurrected Christ (See Revelation 22:13). Both are the first and last letters of their respective alphabets. The Classical Greek Alpha-Omega = the all-encompassing All). As such an ax in the literal sense is often used as a symbol for Abrasax/Azazel (compare ‘ax’ to the Greek word ‘aix’ which means ‘goat’ (also note the addition of the phallic ‘pillar,’ I, possibly to signify a male goat). The Hebrew word for a male goat was also used to denote a demon, demons being by definition fallen angels. For this reason Satyrs/demons, representative of fallen angels, are symbolically represented as being goat-like in appearance, such as the horned-god Pan, the king of satyrs, who represented Azazel: “The satyrs are, of course, the seirim or ‘hairy ones’ who follow their master, the goat god Azazel.” – p.137 The Pillars of Tubal Cain by Nigel Jackson [from seirim comes the word siren (from Greek seiren) to denote women associated 1045

with the fallen angels]). The letter ‘O’ (the disk) itself was derived from the Semitic `Ayin ‫ע‬meaning ‘eye’ and additionally representative of a male goat due to its horn-like appendages and its single penile-like protrusion), and hence, the ‘eye (disk) of Horus,’ also known as Azazel’s cherub Behemoth (in Hebrew, the Watcher/angels are known as the resh 'ayin, commonly translated as ‘those who watch’). Constantine’s ‘IX monogram’ (also employed by the Merovingians) often encircled with the disk in its various forms is likewise esoterically connected with the false christ Azazel. Constantine had never actually abandoned his pagan beliefs—he simply applied a Christian veneer to them. A phallis (a word cognate with the word ‘pillar’) also is a symbol used to represent Azazel, often represented as an ‘I,’ it being representative of Osiris’ phallis which according to one version of the Osiris legend was the single dismembered member of Osiris’ dissected corpse retrieved by the goddess Isis. One may conclude this to be the origin of the artificial stone phalli and priapic statues employed in Egyptian magic rituals, it representing Osiris’ amputated phallis. Such priapic pagan idols were actually used to perform hiero gamos magic rituals involving the ritual rending of a virgin’s hymen. Consider also the name of the angel Metatron of the 6th Century work, the Hekalot Rabbati, one of the major extant texts from the period of Merkabah mysticism. If we assume as its name suggests that this angel’s name had an Egyptian-Christian Coptic influence (as Copts are Egyptian Christians), and we juxtapose the letters found therein, we find this to be Met-Ra-T-On. ‘On’ was the Egyptian name for the ‘city of the sun’ [in Greek Heliopolis] named after the Egyptian sun-god Ra (rendered Helios in Greek), which name in hieroglyphics contains the following symbols: the X-marked disc,

, and the classic pillar/obelisk (think

also ‘pillar of cloud/fire’), . The Egyptian god Ra represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. The name of the sun-god Ra itself when rendered in hieroglyphics (by definition: “a writing system that uses symbols or pictures to denote objects”) includes the following symbols: and (the classic UFO/flying saucer shape). The Coptic Met means “ten” (in Roman numerals X), a symbol of Azazel, he of the X-marked disc. And last but not least we encounter the Egyptian tau cross, also a sign of Azazel, in Greek rendered T. The Rosicrucian/Freemasonic Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn magic order also esoterically derives its name from Azazel. Hermes (hermes in Greek means ‘stone wall’ providing an esoteric Freemasonic link to this god) was another Egyptian name for Azazel, he of a thousand names. The Golden Dawn is analogous of the solar disk, the sun, which like Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, is disk-shaped and rises at dawn, which is the expected time of Azazel’s future release (“…the holy one [read: the angel Azazel in his cherub] appeared…; as a golden dawn did he appear…” - Aleister Crowley’s LIBER ARCANORUM τών ATU τού TAHUTI QUAS VIDIT ASAR IN AMENNTI SUB FIGURÂ CCXXXI LIBER CARCERORUM τών QLIPHOTH CUM SUIS GENIIS. ADDUNTUR SIGILLA ET NOMINA EORUM) (in the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXI B.D. Chap. XV it was said the Egyptian god Ra, who represented the angel Azazel, “risest at dawn” in allusion to the time of Azazel’s release). Israel Regardie, a Rosicrucian who later joined the Stella Matutina, a successor organization of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Regardie once served as personal secretary to Aleister Crowley), writes in his book entitled The Golden Dawn: “‘The Rose-Cross’… is a glyph…of the higher Genius (read: angel) to whose knowledge and conversation the student is eternally aspiring” (in reference to Aleister Crowley’s “attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.” As Israel Regardie explains in Ceremonial Magic p.64, the term “Holy Guardian Angel” [“extrapolated from The (Book of the) Sacred Magic of Abremelin the Mage”] was a term “synonymous with the Golden Dawn reference to the Higher Genius and the Theosophical term the Higher Self [aka the High Self].”). The ‘Genius’ of which Regardie speaks with whom such individuals sought to converse is a so-called ‘guardian angel,’ the angel Azazel. His glyph/symbol is the rose 1046

cross/red cross (this being the significance of the ‘Red Cross,’ also known as the ‘Cross of Fire,’ used as one of the symbols of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn—a ‘white triangle surmounted by a red cross’ symbol is emblazoned upon Golden Dawn altars [See p.135-136 The Eye in the Triangle by Israel Regardie]—the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn being at heart a Rosicrucian order]. A Rose Cross may also be represented by a gold cross with a red ruby in its center, namely, “the Rose of Ruby and the Cross of Gold” [Ibid p.176]. The Rose Cross is, as Israel Regardie notes, a variant form of the pentagram: “A variation of the Pentagram symbol employed by other people with a certain degree of success is a golden cross surmounted by a crimson rose. The symbolism in both cases is identical…” – p.244 The Tree of Life: A Study in Magic by Israel Regardie). The Rosicrucian initiate, as Israel Regardie explains: “…pledges himself to his higher and divine Genius” (See Ceremonial Magic p.84), this higher divine Genius being the fallen angel Azazel, to whom is devoted “the service of the Order.” Theosophist Freethinker Ida C. Craddock provides yet another piece of our puzzle: “Why did these mystics call themselves Rosicrucian? Some writers have attempted to derive the name from two words meaning "dew" and "cross": but the usual interpretation is "followers of the Rosy Cross" (read: followers of Azazel) a cross with a rose (used analogously of Azazel) being used as the society’s symbol.” - Heavenly Bridegrooms. Rosicrucians are followers of and pledge allegiance to the “Holy Guardian Angel” Azazel whose sigil is the rose cross. Azazel is also known as Sirius, the Hidden God of the Illuminati (the Illuminati/angels are also known as the ‘Grand Masters of the Templars’), so named as Azazel’s return is associated with the Dog Star Sirius. This fact is important enough to repeat. Azazel is known as the “Hidden God Sirius”: “In his book ‘Magickal Revival’ Grant writes that Phoenix was (Aleister) Crowley’s most secret name. It represented the ancient Constellation in which Sothis (Seth) (Set) or Sirius was the highest star. He writes that Crowley associated the very heart of his teachings and ‘Magick’ with a certain star, namely the ‘Sun behind the Sun’ (in reference to Sirius A and its companion star, Sirius B), the ‘Hidden God Sirius.’ The secret of the Illuminati, or the Enlightened Ones is the blazing star Sirius, Grant writes.” – The Sirius Mysteries (Pertinent Quote: “To the Egyptians, the Sun behind the Sun was known as Osiris [a god who represents Behemoth/Azazel] and also as Amun-RA, the Hidden Sun.” The Book of the Master by Marshall Adams. Indeed, the Egyptian Hymn to Osiris-Soka is a summons/call addressing the angel Azazel in greeting: “Hail, thou hidden God, Osiris in the underworld!”) (The Great Hymn of Aten, Aten being representative of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, is called therein the “hidden…god…in the underworld…”). Crowley was merely carrying on a long established magic tradition, most noteably of the magic practiced by highdegree Freemasons (particularly within the Egyptian derived rites of Memphis-Misraim and often based on information gleened from ongoing archaeological discoveries of the period): “The Ancient Astronomers (astronomers were as a rule astrologers/sorcerers) saw all the great Symbols of Masonry in the Stars. Sirius glitters in our (Freemasonic) lodges as the Blazing Star (which is a symbol of Azazel [‘Blazing’ is synonymous with ‘shining’].** The ‘Blazing Star’ which represents Azazel is known as the ‘Upright Pentagram.’ Conversely, a downward pointing pentagram, the ‘Averse Pentagram,’ represents Satan. A combination of the two yields the ten-point star, the ‘Dekagram,’ a powerful charm in the realm of magic).” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Scottish Freemasonry by Albert Pike. Indeed, as we learn from C. W. Leadbeater (a prominent member of the Theosophical Society) in Glimpses of Masonic History the Blazing Star Sirius (representative of Azazel), the so-called glyph of the higher genius with whom all practitioners of magic sought to contact, was also symbolized by “the Rose which ever blossoms at the heart of the Cross,” the rose cross, the very symbol of the Rosicrucians themselves. Compare to the Dogon tribe in Africa which also portrays the helical rising of Sirius as a cross with a flower-like sun at its center. (The fallen angel Azazel is associated with the star Sirius. The upward pointing Five-Pointed Star is the icon of Sirius, and as such, it is the icon of Azazel, and this is the esoteric significance of the five-pointed Blazing Star of the Masons. The symbol of the star Sirius as a symbol of Azazel 1047

hearkens back to Biblical days: “Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch [their ‘King,’ Azazel], and the star [called a Chiun; ‘chiun’ translates as ‘star’] of your god Remphan [Azazel], figures which ye made to worship them [the fallen angels]: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.” - Acts 7:43; and again: “But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch [their ‘King,’ Azazel] and Chiun your images, the star of your god [Remphan/Azazel], which ye made to yourselves.” - Amos 5:26) (** “According to Sufi expert Idries Shah the: “…true rulers of the world are the ‘Enlightened Ones’ (Illuminati) [read: the fallen angels] and the Sufi have discovered their secret in the Quran in the following verse: ‘Allah [who is Azazel] is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. His Light is resembled by a lamp within a niche. The lamp within a crystal, like a shining (blazing) star.’” [a reference to The Koran 24.35: “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth, the parable of His Light is as if there were a niche, and within it a Lamp: The Lamp enclosed in Glass; the glass as it were a brilliant star”]. Idries Shah claims the allusion to a ‘shining star’ is a reference to the star ‘Sirius’ (See The Sirius Mysteries). The angels are known as the Shining Ones and a star is often analogously used as the symbol for an angel, hence Shining Star/Blazing Star) (A Not-sonotable Quote: “Such surely is the destiny that awaits our beloved Order in the future; such the splendour that will transfigure the Craft [Freemasonry] in the years that are to come, until within its temple walls once more is raised—not only in symbol but in actual fact (which is to say, upon Azazel’s release from his earthen imprisonment)—the ladder which stretches between earth and heaven, between men and the Grand Lodge above, to lead them from the darkness of the world to the fullness of light in God (he speaks not, to be sure, of the God of Christians and Jews, but of the god of the Craft, who is Azazel), to the Rose which ever blossoms at the heart of the Cross, to the Blazing Star whose shining brings peace and strength and blessing to all the worlds.” - Glimpses of Masonic History by C. W. Leadbeater)

According to a footnote to The Dionysian Artificers: “Thamuz (a variant spelling of Tammuz) signifies the name of a month, and likewise the name of an idol or divinity, which even in the opinion of St. Jerome is the same as (the god) Adonis (both are gods who represent the angel Azazel—Adonis is a cognate of the word Dionysian). Plutarch says that the Egyptians called Osiris Ammuz, and from thence was corruptly derived the name of Jupiter Ammon (‘Ammon,’ a varient spelling of ‘Ammoum,’ means ‘the Hidden One.’ See p.29 Witchcraft for Tomorrow by Doreen Valiente, 1978 A.D. Another variant spelling is Amoun: “Amoun was the primeval god of the Egyptians…all (Egyptian) deities were his various forms. Therefore his names were many; but his real name [which is Azazel] was secret.” – p.130 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present by Doreen Valiente). Robertson (Thesaurus Linguae Sanctae) says that the word Ammuz (read Ammoum) used by Herodotus and Plutarch, were corruptions from the Hebrew Thamuz (Hebrew ‫{ תםוז‬Hebrew TMWZ}). I would rather say that the word was originally Egyptian, and made Hebrew by the addition of the formative ‫{ ת‬Hebrew T})…” And so was an Egyptian name for Azazel, namely Ammuz, transformed into Tammuz by the addition of the symbol for Azazel, namely, the tau cross (rendered in Greek as a T; in the Phoenician alphabet, the Greek ‘T’ 1048

takes the form of yet another enigmatic symbol of Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, the quartered circle/‘x’ within a circle, pronounced ‘tet’ and meaning ‘wheel,’ a Biblical name for a cherub. This corresponds to the Hebrew letter ‘teth,’ meaning ‘serpent.’ [See The Secrets of the Satanic Executioners p.170], which also relates to the Greek letter Theta [which numerical number is 9 and is connected to the 9th sign of the Zodiac, Capricornus, Latin for ‘horned goat’ (Pan)], the initial letter of Thenatos, the Greek god of death [Ibid p.170]). It must be noted The Dionysian Articifers (circa. 1820 A.D.) is an essay written by an eminent Brazilian Freemason. The Greek Dionysiacs as they were also called was an association of architects and engineers, followers of the god Dionysius (also known as Bacchus), builders of temples, theatres and stadia, they being an early society of Freemasons. As earlier noted, in Freemasonry the tau cross, the symbol of Azazel, is represented by the T-square: “The TAU cross is preserved to modern Masonry under the symbol of the T square.” - The Secret Teachings of All Ages p.582 by Manly P. Hall (Interesting quote: “The TAU [the sign of Azazel] is the central figure of the Theosophical Seal [employed by the Theosophical Society] and the heart of its message.” - The Theosophical Seal by Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.) (The Thames River in England is named after Thamuz/Azazel: “The Thames through Oxford is often given the name the River Isis, although historically, and especially in Victorian times, gazetteers and cartographers insisted that the entire river was correctly named the River Isis from its source until Dorchester-on-Thames. Only at this point, where the river meets the River Thame and becomes the “Thame-isis” (subsequently abbreviated to Thames) should it be so-called; Ordnance Survey maps still label the Thames as “River Thames or Isis” until Dorchester.” – Wikipedia: River Thames. Isis, it must be remembered, is an Egyptian name for Azazel’s human wife) (The Hammer of the god Thor, yet another god who represented Azazel, in form resembles and represents a tau cross [T], the sign of Azazel: “…the TAU [the sign of Azazel]…is sometimes designated as the hammer cross…” – The Secret Teachings of All Ages p.582 by Manly P. Hall) The Rose Window (the rosette window) on the façade of the Rosslyn Chapel (aka the Collegiate Chapel of St Matthew) located at the village of Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland, employs such rose cross symbolism in its architechural design. This is a symbol of the future release of the angel Azazel. Other architectural features of Rosslyn Chapel include over 110 ‘Green Man’ carvings. The Green Man represents the angel Azazel (the Egyptian god Osiris, a god who represented Azazel/Behemoth, was depicted with green skin). Ancient Sumerian depictions of Azazel show him wearing rosette bracelets (which would account for the rose being used as a symbol of Azazel). It must be noted the Rosslyn Chapel was erected by 15th Century Masons acting under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church. Ceremonial magician A.E. Waite and one-time Chief of the Druid Order in England Godfrey Higgins believed that the secret to forming the Philosopher’s Stone with the aid of dew was the secret concealed in the Rosicrucian name. One interpretation of the Rose Cross is that the rose represents the dew in an alchemical process, as Rosi Crucis translates as ‘dew cup.’ The following scripture esoterically refer to regeneration as it refers to the Resurrection. Note the use of the rose motif to symbolize regeneration (Franz Hartmann has stated “the greatest of all magical feats” is “the spiritual regeneration of man.” See the Preface to Third Edition of Magic, White and Black). Flowers are often used as symbols to represent the human body: 1049

“…your body is the garden of flowers.” - The Songs of Kabir “Listen to me, you holy sons, and bud like a rose which grows by a watercourse; exhale fragrance like a frankincense tree, and blossom like a lily. Give forth an odor and sing a song, bless the Lord (God) for all His works.” - The Wisdom of Sirach 39:13-14 “How glorious he was…Like roses in the days of first fruits, like lilies by a spring of water, like a sprig of frankincense, on summer days, like fire and incense in the censer…” - The Wisdom of Sirach 50:8,9 “I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.” - Song of Songs 2:1 (KJV) (like DNA clamps, lilies of the valley are hexagonal in shape) (Pertinent Quote: “…man…is regarded as the flower of evolution…” – Lecture Thirteen: The Angels as Factors in Evolution by Max Heindel) The rose and the cross of the Rosicrucians also symbolize regeneration. To Rosicrucians, the rosy cross can represent the formula for the Universal Medicine, the panacea for all forms of disease. In addition to the Rosicrucians, the Rose/Cross motif is shared by the Masons (as evidenced by The Scottish Rite ‘18th degree Knight of the Rose Cross’). To the Masons the rose/cross was in one respect the symbol of regeneration: “The rose is the ancient emblem of spring. Upon the cross it signifies…man regenerated…” - p.249 Ancient Masonry C.C. Zain 1994. It must be noted a five-petaled rose is used to represent a pentagram, while a six-petaled rose represented a hexagram. The cross is an esoteric symbol for a transverse electromagnetic wave; a hexagram represents a standing wave (See The Knowledge of Wisdom by John of the Gentiles). The Rose/Cross motif is also a symbol of (as evidenced by the Rosy Cross lamen of) the magic group known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. These organizations are all associated and the use of shared motifs, vis a vis, evidence these organization’s shared beliefs, as well as their shared associations. Members of one such order are often members of similar orders. These organizations are cell-like and dynamic, and like the hydra of old, they have many heads working towards the same final goal, so the loss of one does not result in the destruction of all, while others will spring up in its stead. The beast lives on to fight another day. The ancient Roman practice of adorning with roses the door of a room in which confidential matters were discussed gave birth to the phrase “sub rosa,” which translates as “under the rose,” meaning, “to keep a secret” (Notable quote: “…brought from ancient Egypt, is the Cross upon the Rose — Cross, symbol of life, Rose, symbol of matter and symbol of secrecy as well.” – The Brotherhood of Religions by Annie Besant Adyar Pamphlets No.24). These were secret meetings of secret societies discussing secret matters. The Romans called the rose the ‘Flower of Venus.’ The goddess Venus represented the angel Azazel’s human wife. King Arthur and his Round Table used Rosicrucian motifs, or, rather, vice versa. The rose/cross symbol was said to be drawn upon the Round Table used by Arthur and his Knights (the Tree of Life is also a common symbol amongst Medieval knightly themes). Arthur’s/Azazel’s Round Table represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. The red cross was also associated with the Holy Grail which in the Arthurian legends was the Christianized symbolic version of the long sought after cherub of Azazel (Behemoth). A rose is also the central motif for the links of the chain upon which the “Great George” is suspended amongst the jewels of the Order of the Garter. The symbol of the Knights of the Garter is a red cross on a white shield. Both were/are Masonic organizations. One symbol of the Knights Templar 1050

was the red cross on a white background, also by design symbolic of Azazel’s cherub (the rose/cross combination was also the badge [talisman/magic charm] of the Knights Templar group). The tradition continues today with the Red Cross organization. It must be mentioned many of the gods which represented Azazel were gods associated with healing. The Sumerians worshipped Azazel as Ninazu (nin means ‘lord’), the god of healing and of the underworld. The Romans knew him as Aesculapius, the god of medicine, and he was known to be as well the Greek and Phoenician god of healing. The red cross which represents the god-angel of healing Azazel is for this reason used as a symbol of the medical organization known as the International Federation of the Red Cross, most commonly known as the Red Cross. In the author’s opinion, the ‘Red Cross’ symbol employed by the Red Cross organization was implemented as a magic charm/talisman: “Many of the magical charms and spells were for the healing of the sick or for the prevention of disease... Many charms and spells surviving to the present day contain the names of pre-Christian gods [all representing the angel Azazel]. These spells are usually connected with cures for diseases in human beings and animals…” - p.75 The God of the Witches by Margaret Alice Murray, D.Lit., “Fellow of University College, London,” 1933 A.D. In Sigil Magic, a red cross is often employed in the construction of healing sigils. Aesculapius (Azazel) was the Roman god of medicine as well as the Greek and Phoenician god of healing. He was often depicted wielding what is known as the Staff of Aesculapius. Various medical organizations adopted the Staff of Aesculapius as its medical insignia, the staff itself consisting of an axial rod with a single winged serpent entwined about it. The U.S. Army Medical Corp has the Staff of Aesculapius as its insignia. The winged staff/serpent symbolism was also employed in the symbol of the Caduceus of Hermes. Enki’s emblem (Enki who also represented Azazel) was two entwined serpents and was the symbol of his ‘cult center’ at Eridu, same as that of the medical profession. This symbolism is also reminiscent of the Sumerian underworld god of healing, Ningishzida (Nin- means ‘divinity’/lord), whose symbol was two snakes entwined around a central axial rod (the Rod of Ningishzida is the symbol of the great guild of physicians in England) (It must be noted one of the many Egyptian titles for Azazel was “the two-headed serpent” [See the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXXI]). The satyrs themselves carried a similar instrument known as a thyrsus, also known as the rod of Dionysus, a stick (magic wand) wound round with ivy and tipped with a pine cone. The Sidonian god of healing, Eshmun, was also depicted holding a serpent entwined staff in his right hand. All of these healing ‘gods’ represented the angel Azazel who holds the title of Chief Physician. In fact, Azazel was what was known as a ‘rapha,’ a surgeon, a member of the medical profession (compare ‘rapha’ to the cognate ‘pharma,’ the root of the words ‘pharmacy’ and ‘pharmaceutical’). The Book of Enoch lists medical practices (including abortion—an abortion is considered to be a sacrifice to the god Moloch [who is Azazel]. See p.23 Blood on the Altar) as being amongst the secrets which were revealed to mankind by Azazel and his group of fallen angels. The origins of Herbalism itself can be found amongst arcane magical writings—many early doctors were students of the occult, and many folk cures can be found amongst the folklores of the many diverse civilizations. Magic practicing cunning folk often employed herbal medications, as did the Shamanistic medicine men and the Indian medicants. Many drugs today are herbal based. The fact that the cross (X) is linked with Azazel, who is oft confused by some as being the devil Satan himself, is the reason the horned devil, who in reality represents the ‘horned god’ Azazel, is associated with crossroads. In fact many Egyptian mummies are laid to rest with arms crossed in the sign of ‘Osiris Risen,’ the crossed arm symbol of Azazel being depicted on numerous Egyptian statues and reliefs (most notably depictions of the god Osiris/Azazel himself) (a man sitting cross-legged may also be thusly interpreted. For example: “The Indian figures of the Horned God (who is Azazel), found at Mohenjo-Daro, are of the earliest Bronze-age…The most remarkable is that of a man with bull’s horns on his head, sitting cross-legged…This representation was regarded in historic times as a form of Shiva (who represents Azazel) and is called Pasupati, ‘Lord of animals’ (a shepherd of sorts. 1051

Azazel is often depicted as a shepherd god as well).” – p.11 The God of the Witches by Margaret Alice Murray, 1933 A.D.). As we learn from British witch/author Nigel Jackson in Chapter VI Masks of Misrule pp.93 & 99, the Horned One, the Horned God of the Witches (Azazel), was represented by a “skull resting on crossed thighbones” (as he also reveals in The Pillars of Tubal Cain p.185: “…crossed legs…are said to represent the tau” which is of course the sign of Azazel. It must be noted a skull is also used to symbolize the angel of death). Two crossed swords in the form of an ‘X’ is a symbol of the Roman god of war Mars who likewise represented the angel Azazel, as is the ‘skull and crossbones’ insignia said to have been originally flown on Knights Templars ships, though being more famously flown on English privateer pirate ships (one of whose main ports of refuge was the port in New York City) of British persuasion (these being known collectively as ‘Jolly Roger’ flags). As the British witch Doreen Valiente explains in An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present p.341-2: “…witches of the older traditions sometimes include a skull and crossed bones, or a representation of them (in their magic rituals)…The Masonic fraternities also make use of the skull and crossed bones, in their ceremonies; which are descended, if not actually derived, from the ancient Mystery cults.” Interestingly enough, this symbol for Azazel, namely the ‘skull and crossbone,’ is a design used in the logo of Yale University’s Skull and Bones secret society of which ex-Republican-presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were prominent members (the Skull and Bones secret society mimics the experience of the angels who are entrapped within the earth when they bury new initiates in a coffin and later unearth them). The eminent British knight/astronomer/astrologer/sorcerer Sir Isaac Newton esoterically pledges his allegiance to the fallen angel Azazel through his employment of a crossed-bones (X) motif sans skull in his personal coat-of-arms. The swastika is also a variant form of the sign representing the angel Azazel. The swastika employed by German Nazis, Neo-Nazi Aryan groups and the Theosophical Society itself is but the Indian/Hindu form of the sign representing Azazel (X). It must be noted the swastika, the Hindu sigil of Azazel, is the letter ‘G’ in the Ancient Northern European/Anglo-Saxon Runic script known as ‘Futhorc’/’Futhark’ (the Armanen ‘Futharkh’ of Guido Von List, also known as the Norse rune ‘gifu,’ which is rendered as a simple ‘X’). This is the esoteric reason for the inclusion of the ‘G’ within the Freemasonic ‘Square and Compass’ standard. The swastika, it must also be noted, is called the ‘Hammer of Creation,’ and in Teutonic legends, the swastika is known as ‘Thor’s Hammer,’ as Arthur M. Coon is nice enough to point out in explanation of the significance of the swastika’s inclusion in the seal of the most reverent Theosophical Society (See The Theosophical Seal by Arthur M. Coon, 1958 A.D.), Thor of course representing the fallen angel Azazel. The hammer then is likewise a symbol of the blacksmithing god Azazel, who taught mankind the art of metalworking. He has placed his mark upon the craft. It is interesting to note at this point that: “…the TAU [the sign of Azazel]…is sometimes designated as the hammer cross…” – The Secret Teachings of All Ages p.582 by Manly P. Hall) The Roman emperor Constantine the Great (c. 285-337 A.D.), who made Christianity the official religion of Rome, of “In this sign, conquer” fame, conquered under the sign of Azazel (as did the ancient Egyptians, the Knights Templar, the Spanish Conquistadores, England and later Hitler also similarly conquer under the sign of Azazel) when he emblazoned the red cross on white background insignia on the shields of his conquering legions (See also the Labarum [Chi-Rho symbol] of Constantine which incorporates the sign of “Osiris risen,” namely, the ‘X’ within its construction. The significance of the ‘P’ in the Chi-Rho [X-P] symbol is that ‘P’ is the 16th letter of the alphabet signifying Azazel’s release/“Osiris Risen” in 2016 A.D. The Chi-Rho symbol was also employed by the Merovingians. The Greek Chi (X) symbol is often used to abbreviate the word ‘christ,’ as when ‘X-mas’ is employed as an abbreviation of ‘Christmas,’ thereby literally taking Christ out of Christmas. Somehow wishing someone a “Merry Osiris Risen” on December 25th just doesn’t pack the same jolly holiday punch). The Knights Templar (c. 12th - 13th Centuries) likewise employed a red cross on white field motif, as did their 1052

Crusading contemporaries the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem (“The Knights of St. John…continue the Manichaean Gnostic concepts…” – Angels, Demons and Freemasons: The True Conscpiracy, 2008 A.D.) who ran a hospital there in Jerusalem in what is now modern day Israel (Notable quote: “From the descendants of the Magi, the Sufis, the mystics amongst the Mahometans derived their knowledge of astrology, medicine, and of esoteric doctrines. In 1118 the order of the Temple [the Knights Templar] was founded, nominally for the protection of pilgrims, but really for the restoration of the primitive mysteries.” – The Masters of Wisdom by E. Adams, 1890 A.D.) (The Germanic Teutonic Knights also employed the Red Cross of Azazel as its sigil. The Red Croos [formally known as the “Red Cross of Tiphereth”] is also the sigil placed upon the altars of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Today the Hospitallers (currently known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta [SMOM; aka Knights of Malta, an order of alchemists]) are headquartered in Rome (and awarded permanent U.N. observer status I might add), as is the Vatican, and the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitalliers group is considered the world’s highest-ranking Catholic lay person. The modern contemporary of the Knights Hospitalliers of St. John of Jerusalem is the medical organization known as the International Organization of the Red Cross which likewise employs a red cross on white background insignia, this being the sign of Azazel. The British Red Cross Society works closely with a group called the St. John Ambulance Association, named after the leader of the Knights Hospitallers, St. John of Jerusalem. The red cross, also known as St. George’s Cross, is the English national emblem, with the British national flag, the Union Jack, incorporating a red cross on a white background motif within its design, as well as the esoteric ‘X’ sign of Azazel (however, the Flag of England is simply a red cross on white background!): “The Union Jack (the flag of the United Kingdom) is a combination of the military ensigns of St. George's Cross for England, St. Andrew's Cross for Scotland, and St. Patrick's Cross for Ireland.” – p. 36 Manners, Customs, and Observances: Their Origin and Significance by Leopold Wagner (1894 A.D.). All of these sigils are representative of Azazel (as are the ‘saints’ with whom these crosses are associated). The Union Jack is also in essence an 8-point compass rose. Consider also the May-pole, one of the central motifs of May Day celebrations in England: “In olden times nearly every village had its May-pole, around which, decorated with wreaths of flowers, ribbons, and flags, our merry ancestors danced from morning till night. The earliest representation of an English May-pole is that published in the Variorum “Shakespeare”…The pole is planted in a mound of earth [planted in the earth, representing Azazel’s encapsulation within the earth], and has affixed to it St. George’s redcross banner [also known as the “Colours of Saint George,” the red cross being the sign of Azazel]…” - Folk-lore of Shakespeare Chapter XI by T.F. Thiselton Dyer, 1883 A.D. Personally, I believe dancing around the May Pole [much like the Peacock Dance of the Whirling Dervishes and witches dancing around (circumambulating) a magic circle] is designed to symbolically represent Behemoth, the ‘spinning wheel’/cherub. Similarly, during the Satanic Black Mass, a whirling dance called the Sabbath-round is typically performed [See p.152 La Sorciere by J. Michelet, 1862 A.D.]). All of these motifs represent and honor the angel Azazel whose sign was the red cross on white background. (Of an interesting added note, the American Eagle such as that depicted on the back of the dollar bill [a decidedly Masonic emblem**] is often pictured with its wings unfurled and its legs outstretched forming an esoteric ‘X’ the sign of Azazel [its left claw, signifying the sinister ‘left-hand path’ of black magic, clutches divining arrows (conversely, the right-hand path = white magic)]. The eagle is the bird of Jove/Jupiter, who is Azazel, and Azazel (the Genesis serpent), it must be remembered, habitually dressed in bird costumes and was often symbolized by a bird. Indeed: “In Elamitic religious art the eagle is brought into connexion with the serpent…” - Tammuz and Ishtar. Both are symbols of Azazel) (**As UFO contactee George Hunt Williamson [who had served in the U.S. Army Air Corp during WWII] reveals in Other Tongues, Other Flesh [1953 A.D.], those secret societies [and these certainly include 1053

the Freemasons] who are allied with the Sirius-associated extraterrestrials [who are in fact Azazel’s group of fallen angels] employ as their symbol the ‘eye in the triangle’ [aka the Eye of Horus,** the Eye of Sirius*** and the Eye of Providence] motif such as the one to be found on the back of the dollar bill. It was FDR’s V.P., Theosophical Society-member Henry A. Wallace who is largely responsible for its inclusion thereupon) (** “…the Eye of Horus [aka “the winged disk of the open eye of Horus”] is identified with the angelic Watchers of Enochian apocrypha [as found in The Book of Enoch]…” - p.157 Alien Initiations by Harald Kleeman, 2003 A.D.) (***“The mythical Satanic bringer of civilization to earth was supposed to be an alien from the star system Sirius, around who the Egyptians and all subsequent Hermetic systems constructed their elaborate and obsessive religio-astronomic observances… most of the geomantical siting of the Temple architecture of Egypt, the Gnostics, the Masons, the Templars and the Rosicrucians is calculated to the Solstitial rising of the "Dog Star" Sirius. Sirius is the hidden supreme god of the secret societies of the West, the subject of untold centuries of veneration and sacrifice… The emblem of the All-Seeing Eye above the unfinished pyramid is the representation of the Eye of Sirius…” – p.16,74,17 Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare by Michael A. Hoffman II) (Pertinent Quote: “…Freemasons believe that civilization on Earth was initially formed by initiates from the Sirius star system, whom they equate with the Egyptian Trinity of Isis, Osiris, and Horus…forming the basis of an Egyptian priesthood that worships Sun gods. The adepts of these mystery religions have always referred to themselves — in one form or another — as the Illuminati… Sirius…is regarded in occult circles as "the hidden god of the cosmos." The famous emblem of the allseeing eye — seen hovering above the unfinished pyramid — is a depiction of the Eye of Sirius, and is a common motif found throughout Masonic lore.” - Ritual Magic, Mind Control and the UFO Phenomenon by Adam Gorightly) Related to the Freemasons is the Knights of Pythias: “The Knights of Pythias is a fraternal organization and secret-society founded at Washington, D.C., on 19 February 1864.” – Wikipedia: The Knights of Pythias. Pythian Knights were largely recruited from the ranks of the Independent Order of Oddfellows. Famous Pythian Knights include former U.S. Presidents Warren G. Harding (Oddfellow), William McKinley (Oddfellow) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (Oddfellow), ex-U.S. Vice-Presidents Hubert Horatio Humphrey and Nelson A. Rockefeller, as well as U.S. Senators William Jennings Bryan (Oddfellow), Robert Byrd (Oddfellow) and Charles “Chuck” Schumer, including U.S. Supreme Court Justices Hugo Black (Oddfellow), Benjamin Cardozo, as well as Bob Jones, Sr., prominent Evangelist leader and founder of Bob Jones University. The Knights of Pythias logo employs a crossed axe (double axe in the form of an X) logo which includes arms and armor (it was Azazel whose symbol is the X who introduced the armorial arts to humans), as well as a lion (another sign of Azazel). All of these emblems are esoteric symbols of the false prophet Azazel. The Knights of Pythias are still in existence today. Charles Schumer is the senior United States Senator from New York State, born in Brooklyn, N.Y. to a Jewish immigrant family. (Interesting Note: “…Horus [Azazel] was also called Horus-Behutet, or ‘the Great Blacksmith,’ and was symbolized by the axe or the hammer.” – The Origin and Evolution of Freemasonry by Albert Churchward, 1920 A.D. It was Azazel, as we learn from The Book of Enoch, who taught mankind the blacksmithing art of metal working. In Egyptian hieroglyphs a ‘neter’ [a god] was symbolized by an axe. Horus-Behutet [Azazel] is known as the ‘dweller in the disc,’ the disc of course being Azazel’s cherub Behemoth within which he is entrapped. Horus [Azazel] is for this reason represented as a ‘point within a circle’) Another symbol of the angel Azazel is the Watchtower (in the Enochian magic system, Watch Towers were said to be situated at the four corners of the earth, manned by angelic guardians), as it is from such an exalted edifice the Greek god Bacchus (who represented Azazel) was said to watch over the grape vines from which he made his wine. See 1054

also the Greek Magical Papyrus [PDM xiv.554-62] which states: “…the Temple of Osiris (Behemoth/Azazel), my Watch-Tower [as we learn from the early church father Athenagoras: “Osiris is named Dionysos by the Greeks.” And Bacchus is but another name for Dionysos]. I will do for you according to the Voice of Isis, the Magician, the Lady of Magic, who Bewitches everything, who is Never Bewitched in her Name of Isis, the Magician.” The Egyptian god Osiris [Azazel] is indeed the ‘god’ of the witches, also known as: “…the Great Father, who of old was called Osiris…” - A Witches’ Bible: The Complete Witches’ Handbook p.13 by Janet and Stewart Farrar. Azazel is also associated with the Tower of Babel beneath which he lays entrapped (See Hidden Truths: A History of the World from Beginning to End by John of the Gentiles).

The death of St. George, the patron saint of England, is depicted on St. George’s Collegiate Church in Tübingen (erected no doubt by Freemasons). Note the eight-point compass rose (x superimposed upon +), a symbol of Azazel (as well as the point within the circle). The rose is also a symbol of Azazel, hence the association of the “rose” with that of the eight-points of the compass. It is likely St. George represented Azazel. Many pagan gods were made into saints to ease their worshiper’s conversion to Christianity (the following selection is exemplary of this notion: “The Roman Church adopted the Angels and Archangels of the Celestial Allegory as its Saints, including Saint Bacchus (Bacchus represented the angel Azazel) and Saint Satan in place of Guardian Spirits that were once human beings (read: angels incarnate).” - Gnostic and Historic Christianity by Gerald Massey). Note Azazel’s sign (x) in the form of an equilateral cross in the decorative motif to the north of ‘St. George.’ Concedes C.F. Oldham (Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society in London), in a book devoted to the history of serpent worship as universally encountered in nearly every ancient religion, entitled The Sun and the Serpent: “The legend of St. George and the Dragon, although it assumed its present shape in Christian times, was probably founded upon an older story.” The story concerns, of course, the fallen angel Azazel. Indeed, one astrological symbol of the stately planet named in honor of the Horned-God Saturn who represented Azazel was such a 1055

mounted horseman with lance (See Astrology, p.61, Louis MacNeice, 1964 A.D.); no doubt this symbol was also a symbol of Azazel (in the Sepher Yetzirah, the planet Saturn is associated with the Tau Cross [T], the sign of Azazel). As we learn from Wikipedia: “The Most Noble Order of the Garter is the highest order of chivalry, or knighthood, existing in England, founded in 1348. The Order is dedicated to the image and arms of St. George (who represented Azazel) as England's patron saint.” Gerald B. Gardner explains the establishment of the Order of the Garter was in this way: “It is said that King Edward III saved one witch from certain torture at that famous incident to which the origin of the Order of the Garter was ascribed. He was dancing with the Countess of Salisbury (she was a high priestess in a witch’s coven) when she dropped the ritual Garter (as Gardner therein explains: “the garter is a badge of rank among witches”) which proclaimed her high rank in the cult. With Bishops about this was dangerous, so the King, knowing what it was (it being the witches symbol denoting ones rank as high-priestess in a witches coven), picked it up and put it on his own leg, saying: 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' (which translates as: "shame upon him who thinks evil upon it")…The King's quickness saved the situation (as the Bishops would have tortured her and burnt her at the stake, the penalty for being a witch) and placed him almost in the position of their incarnate god (the typical role of a high-priest in a witch’s coven) in the eyes of his more pagan subjects. This was followed by the foundation of an Order of twelve Knights for the King and twelve for the Prince of Wales (the Prince of Wales is the title held by the King of England’s firstborn son who himself is heir to his father’s throne), i.e. twenty-six members in all, or two (witch’s) covens” - Witchcraft Today, 1954 A.D. (Margaret Alice Murray likewise broaches this subject in The God of the Witches [1931 A.D.] as well). Gardner therein poses the following question: “In this connection, can anyone tell me exactly what is the meaning of the double SS on the collar of the Garter?” SRIA member Hargrave Jennings provides the answer in The Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries p.119: “…the British golden collar of “S.S.” (worn on the collar of a Knight of the Order of the Garter) which is worn as a relic of the oldest day (in perpetuation of a mythos long ago buried (a nod to the fact that Azazel is currently interred within the earth)…and forgotten in the dust of ages) by some of our (British) officials (including the Lord Mayor of the City of London Coporation), courtly and otherwise…belongs to no known order of knighthood, but only to the very highest order of knighthood, the Magian, or to Magic.” It is the sign of Azazel, the god of magic, the hornedgod of the witches, the original Mage himself (One such famous example of an Order of the Garter ceremonial magician/witch/alchemist is the Wizard Earl Henry Percy (1564 – 1632 A.D.). Percy, a friend of ceremonial magician Dr. John Dee, had prospered under the very witchy Queen Elizabeth I but was relegated to the Tower of London by the pious King James I, creator of the King James Version of The Bible). The following red-cross on white background is the symbol of the Order of the Garter witch coven (note also the quartered-circle design):

Appendix B All high-degree Freemasonic magic groups invoke the rebellious fallen angels, including the angels Satan and Azazel. No wonder membership in the fraternal organizations of Freemasonry is condemned by the Roman Catholic Church with membership in such an organization being considered a “grave” and mortal sin. As a matter of fact, the Catholic Church considers Freemasonry to be a conspiratorial organization hostile to the Church and its doctrines. Pope Leo, in his Encyclical Letter dated April 20, 1884 A.D., Humanus Genus (On Freemasonry), describes Freemasonry and Freemasonic Organizations as being a “foul plague,” and that people should “tear the mask from Freemasonry…to let it be seen as it really is,” and “as our predecessors have many times repeated, let no man think that he may for any reason whatsoever join the Masonic sect…as the whole principle and object of the sect lies in what is vicious and criminal, to join with these men or in any way to help them cannot be lawful,” and that ones association in such a group is regarded by the Church as being a “grave sin,” in that “these evil sects, in which is revived the contumacious (rebellious) spirit of the demon…Satan…together with his unsubdued perfidy (deliberate treachery) and deceit.” The letter states that “at this period, the partisans of evil (the magic-practicing groups of the different nations of the world) seem to be combining together (into a magic confederacy of sorts), and to be struggling with united vehemence, led on or assisted by that strongly organized and widespread association called the Freemasons…that this Apostolic See denounced the sect of the Freemasons, and publicly declared its constitution, as contrary to law and right, to be pernicious no less to Christendom than to the State,” and “that it is against the Church that the rage and the attack of the enemies are principally directed.” It also states that “its (Freemasonry’s) ultimate purpose…(is) the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced (read: the Old World Order), and the substitution of a new state of things (read: a New World Order) in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism (that science, magical in origin, is the sole basis of what can be known),” and that “the fundamental doctrine of the naturalists…is that the human nature and human reason ought in all things to be mistress and guide,” that “they (Freemason’s) deny that anything has been taught by God.” It is the Church’s belief “their ultimate purpose” is “the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things (a New World Order) in accordance with their ideas, of which the foundations and laws shall be drawn from mere naturalism.” The Church says “they (Freemasons)…teach the great error of this age—that a regard for religion should be held as an indifferent matter, and that all religions are alike.” He speaks of course of the teachings of the Theosophical Society. As an affirmation to past denunciations of Freemasonry by the Roman Catholic Church, including condemnations by at least nine different popes in seventeen different pronouncements, and at no less than six Church councils, in the “Declaration on Masonic Associations,” signed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (who since has served as pope) with the approval of Pope John Paul II and dated November 26, 1983 A.D., states that “the Church’s negative judgment in regard to Masonic organizations remains unchanged, since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church, and, therefore, membership in them remains forbidden. The faithful, who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin…” Indeed, speaking out against the supposed infallibility of the popes as set forth by the Doctrine of Papal Infallibility, eminent Freemason Albert Pike states: “No man or body of men can be infallible, and authorized to decide what other men shall believe, as to any tenet of faith.” - Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry by Albert Pike, circa. 1871 A.D. (On June 30, 1990 A.D. at Catholic University, in Washington, D.C., Father Robert J. Bradley stated: “Masonry is Secular Humanism incarnate. Masonry is also Satanism incarnate.”) 1058

The Roman Catholic Church’s condemnation of Freemasonry is not unique in the annals of Christian history. Several Protestant churches, organizations and Christian ministries such as the Church of England and the Southern Baptist convention also reject various Freemasonic teachings as incompatible to the doctrines of Christianity. Many current Freemasons unknowingly (and some knowingly) do the bidding of Satan and Azazel. The Skull and Bones (which derives its name from the flag flown by ships of the Knights Templar group which sought the overthrow of the power of the Roman Catholic Church, an organization which the champions of the Church itself later destroyed), an organization of which many prominent American politicians of today enjoy membership, including ex-American President George W. Bush, is a Masonic organization, a secret-society in the grand old tradition. Many prominent American politicians throughout the history of the United States (members of our Founding Fathers, George Washington included; many of America’s Founding Fathers were in effect transplanted English Freemasons of the very highestorder) are or have been Freemasons, including ex-President George H. W. Bush (George H. W. Bush has received an honorary knighthood by the British Government as Knight Commander Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath which was awarded to him in 1993 A.D.), who once proudly announced the establishment of the Freemasonic New World Order, the ultimate goal mentioned in the quasi-Masonic Rosicrucian Fama Fraternitis (as opposed to the Old Word Order headed by the Roman Catholic Church). The number of Freemasons in the United States today numbers in the millions; many are oblivious to their complicity with fallen angels. Others have quite willingly joined them in their rebellion against God. All will be held accountable.

Appendix C Ancient Descriptions of the Cherubim In the sacred text of the Babylonians, The Seven Evil Spirits (the Maskim), we find descriptions of the cherubim of the angels. They are called: “Raging storm, evil gods are they, ruthless demons, who in heaven’s vault (in the Majestic Glory) were created, are they (the cherubim). Workers of evil are they, they lift up the head to evil, every day to evil destruction to work.” The seven cherubim of which they speak are identified as being “messengers,” the very definition of the word ‘angels.’ The cherubim are also in this work analogized by the Babylonians as “horses,” a common symbol for the cherubim in The Bible. The cherubim in The Seven Evil Spirits are described as “A hurricane (which spins), which mightily hunts in the heavens, are they, thick clouds, that bring darkness in heaven…gusts of wind rising, which cast gloom over the bright day, with the Imkhullu the evil wind, forcing their way…mighty destroyers, are they…In the height of heaven, like lightning flashing…to wreak destruction forward go they, in the broad heaven…evilly do they arise, and none to oppose…From the heaven (from the Majestic Glory), like a wind, over the land they (the cherubim) rush…The seven evil gods, death-dealing, fearless are they, the seven evil gods, like a flood, rush on, the land they fall upon, do they, against the land, like a storm, they rise…Neither male nor female are they. Destructive whirlwinds are they (the seven cherubim).” These Babylonian descriptions have Biblical parallels because they all describe the same objects, the cherubim. The seven evil spirits are the seven cherubim of the seven angels who stand in the presence of God (the seven spirits of God). Or at least they did before Satan’s rebellion. The cherubim, who wrought destructive judgments from God upon them, were considered evil gods by the erring Babylonians who in rituals involving fornication worshipped the rebellious fallen angel Azazel, known to Babylonians as the god Tammuz, and Azazel’s human wife, known as the goddess Ishtar, worshipping the angels and their human wives as gods and goddesses. Satan also continuously contested the Babylonian’s worthiness as members of mankind to supplant the angels as heirs to God’s promised kingdom in the angels’ stead. As related in the Biblical Book of Job, Job was from Babylon and he suffered from the very same treatment (See Job 1:6-22 through Job 2:1-8), being in a like way detrimentally and destructively tested by Satan as related in the Book of Job (the following is exemplary: “The fire of God is fallen from heaven (originating from Satan’s cherub), and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them…” - Job 1:16 (KJV)). It must also be noted that both the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel experienced their cherubic visitations as residents of Babylon, though these were of the angels who were loyal to God. In the Mithraic literary work (Mithraism was popular amongst the legioners of the Roman army) known as “The Great Magical Papyrus of Paris” a cherub is described as a “Heavenly Wheel” which would “hurl thunder and thunderbolts, earthquakes and lightning against the race of the impious.” From the judgmental destruction these cherubim meted out comes the Roman conception of the Wheel of Fortune. The Wheel of Fortune (Rota Fortunae), or more specifically, the Wheel of the Roman goddess Fortuna (her Greek counterpart is Tyche. They are both one and the same. Fortuna is mentioned in Isaiah 65:11), esoterically represents Azazel’s cherub Behemoth, within which Azazel and his human wife are entrapped within the earth. Fortuna was one of the many names by which the human wife of the incarnate angel Azazel was known. That the Wheel of Fortune represents a cherub is evidenced by the esoteric teachings of the Tenth Major Arcana of the Egyptian Tarot (The Tarot is alternatively known as The Book of Thoth. Thoth is an Egyptian name for Azazel; the word Thoth is derived from the Caananite word for the star Sirius, Ashterot) where the Wheel of Fortune is therein associated with the four faces of a cherub, namely, the man, the lion, the eagle and the ox. The “living creatures,” which is to say, the cherubim described in 1060

Ezekiel 1:10-11 are also similarly adorned, each having upon them four divisions of “four faces.” The Wheel of Fortune of the Tarot is similarly depicted with four such divisions. Both examples represent a cherub. The Mithraic literary work known as “The Great Magical Papyrus of Paris” invokes Azazel/Behemoth as “the great Sun God Mithras” and his human wife under the name ‘Fortune’ (Fortune being the translation from the Greek of pronoia kai tyche, ‘pronoia’ being a known epithet of the goddess Athena who represented the human wife of the angel Azazel, and Tyche being the name of the goddess whose Roman equivalent was Fortuna, both goddesses likewise representing the angel Azazel’s human wife. The Wheel of Fortune represented Azazel’s cherub Behemoth. This magical work speaks of Behemoth when it speaks of the “Heavenly Wheel” (which like Ezekiel’s description of the cherubim as being “whirling wheels” (See Ezekiel 10:6,13), it being disk-shaped, and that this “Heavenly Wheel” was said to “turn” (spin) on its “Axis”). Descriptions of the Wheel of Fortune, memorialized in Shakespeare’s Henry V as “Fortune’s wildly spinning wheel,” and described in the Burana Codex in a poem called “Fortune, the Empress of the World” as being a “malevolent” “whirling wheel” echo the Book of Ezekiel in its description of the cherubim as being “whirling wheels” (See Ezekiel 10:13). The word ‘Fortuna’ is derived from the Latin word ‘vortumna,’ meaning ‘turner,’ or that which ‘turns/revolves.’ It was believed by the Romans that the fickle Fortuna decided one’s fate (the secret Yale society of the Skull and Bones employs a similar concept when it spins a wheel of fortune when deciding a participants’ fate—whether one is to become a Senator, a President, etc. Members, hailing from rich influential families then work to make it so. George W. Bush was such an initiate before he was the Decider, which in itself explains so very much). The Papyrus of Ani from the Egyptian Book of the Dead Plate XXIX equates fate/fortune with Osiris/Behemoth: “I am fate and Osiris.” Indeed, as we learn from Wikipedia, the word: “sorcery was taken in ca. 1300 from Old French sorcerie, which is from Vulgar Latin *sortiarius, from sors "fate", apparently meaning "one who influences fate."” In Egypt, Azazel was alternately known as Tahuti, who was also known as Thoth (cognate with Tahuti), the god of magic. A sorcerer is a practitioner of magic. Azazel was a determiner of fates, a sorcerer, a god of magic (compare the prefix Du- of the words Dudael/Duidain [where the god of magic Azazel was said to be entrapped within the earth] to Du’a, an Islamic word which means ‘to call/to summon.’ In magic parlance this denotes an invocation. Practitioners of magic invoke the fallen angels. Related to this is the word Druid (compare to Duidain), well known practitioners of magic who summoned the fallen angels during their magic invocations, sometimes in groves, other times at henges). In the Babylonian work, Lugalbanda in the Mountain Cave, we also are provided with eyewitness accounts of a description of a cherub. It describes “a storm” (a cherub) whose “good bright metal, stepped down from heaven to the great earth (it descended and landed on the ground). His head (the top of the cherub) shines with brilliance, the barbed arrows flash past him like lightning…” It also goes on to describe a sight witnessed by a group of “young men,” who saw what they described as a “shield (a dome-shaped cherub) standing on the ground,” “resting among the cypresses,” in a grove, or forest, which began “rising up from the horizon” and which “extended his holy, shining rays down from heaven.” It goes on to describe the cherub’s illuminating “brilliance,” and how it “hovered” in the sky nearby. Concealing itself amongst the cypress trees by definition marks its pilot as an angel of the forest. A shield is sometimes used to symbolize a cherub. For greater in-depth details, as well as a study of Biblical descriptions of the cherubim of the angels, see Evildoer Added to Evildoer: The Story of Satan, Azazel and the Rebellious Angels by John of the Gentiles. 1061

Appendix F The following is exemplary of a typical Illuminati operation: “…a formal and systematic conspiracy against Religion was formed and zealously prosecuted by Voltaire [Voltaire was a member of Loge des Neuf Sœurs, the same French Freemasonic lodge in which Benjamin Franklin was a member, being initiated into the lodge by its Worshipful Master, Benjamin Franklin himself. This lodge played a major role in the French Revolution], d'Alembert, and Diderot, assisted by Frederic II King of Prussia; and I see that their principles and their manner of procedure have been the same with those of the German atheists and anarchists (Illuminati sponsored groups). Like them they hired an Army of Writers; they industriously pushed their writings into every house and every cottage. Those writings were equally calculated for inflaming the sensual appetites of men, and for perverting their judgments. They endeavoured to get the command of the Schools, particularly those for the lower classes; and they erected and managed a prodigious number of Circulating Libraries and Reading Societies. M. Barruel says, that this gang of public corruptors have held their meetings for many years in the Hotel de Holbach at Paris [in the salon of Paul-Henri Thiry (Baron) d'Holbach, one of the most infamous salons of the French Enlightenment period which would culminate in the French Revolution**], and that Voltaire was their honorary President. The most eminent members were d'Alemherty Diderot, Condorcet, La Harpe, Turgot, Lamoignon. (For a front) They took the name of Economists, and affected to be continually occupied with plans for improving Commerce, Manufactures, Agriculture, Finance, &c. (pretending to be a benevolent society) and published from time to time respectable performances on those subjects—but their darling project was to destroy Christianity and all Religion, and to bring about a total change of Government. They employed writers to compose corrupting and impious books—these were revised by the Society, and corrected till they suited their purpose. A number were printed in a handsome manner, to defray the expense, and then a much greater number were printed in the cheapest form possible, and given for nothing, or at very low prices, to hawkers and peddlers (booksellers), with injunctions to distribute them secretly through the cities and villages. They even hired persons to read them to conventicles of those who had not learned to read (in the later Beatnik’s case they read their books at poetry readings).” – Proofs of a Conspiracy, 1798 A.D pp.382, 383 (**“Paul-Henri Thiry, Baron d' Holbach, the foremost exponent of atheistic materialism and the most intransigent polemicist against religion in the Enlightenment, was born of honorable but obscure German parents in Edesheim, a small town in the Palatinate [the Germanic region where Bavaria is located, Bavaria being the home of the Illuminati]; his name was originally Paul Heinrich Dietrich… The members of Holbach’s circle, besides the assiduous Diderot, included Melchior von Grimm, Claude-Adrien Helvétius, d'Alembert, Rousseau, Nicolas-Antoine Boulanger, Étienne Bonnot de Condillac, Jacques-André Naigeon, Baron de l'Aulne Turgot, and Marquis de Condorcet. Holbach also counted among his acquaintances many foreigners, notably David Hume, Edward Gibbon, Adam Smith, Joseph Priestley [whose friend, radical publisher Joseph Johnson was American revolutionary Thomas Pain’s publisher], Horace Walpole, David Garrick, Laurence Sterne, Cesare Beccaria, and Benjamin Franklin.” – Ecyclopedia.com.

Appendix G The Battle for Your Mind: Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On the Public by Dick Sutphen Summary of Contents The Birth of Conversion/Brainwashing in Christian Revivalism in 1735. The Pavlovian explanation of the three brain phases. Born-again preachers: Step-by-Step, how they conduct a revival and the expected physiological results. The "voice roll" technique used by preachers, lawyers and hypnotists. New trance-inducing churches. The 6 steps to conversion. The decognition process. Thought-stopping techniques. The "sell it by zealot" technique. True believers and mass movements. Persuasion techniques: "Yes set," "Imbedded Commands," "Shock and Confusion," and the "Interspersal Technique." Subliminals. Vibrato and ELF waves. Inducing trance with vibrational sound. Even professional observers will be "possessed" at charismatic gatherings. The "only hope" technique to attend and not be converted. Non-detectable Neurophone programming through the skin. The medium for mass take-over. I'm Dick Sutphen and this tape is a studio-recorded, expanded version of a talk I delivered at the World Congress of Professional Hypnotists Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although the tape carries a copyright to protect it from unlawful duplication for sale by other companies, in this case I invite individuals to make copies and give them to friends or anyone in a position to communicate this information. Although I've been interviewed about the subject on many local and regional radio and TV talk shows, large-scale mass communication appears to be blocked, since it could result in suspicion or investigation of the very media presenting it or the sponsors that support the media. Some government agencies do not want this information generally known. Nor do the Born-Again Christian movement, cults, and many human-potential trainings. Everything I will relate only exposes the surface of the problem. I don't know how the misuse of these techniques can be stopped. I don't think it is possible to legislate against that which often cannot be detected; and if those who legislate are using these techniques, there is little hope of affecting laws to govern usage. I do know that the first step to initiate change is to generate interest. In this case, that will probably only result from an underground effort. In talking about this subject, I am talking about my own business. I know it, and I know how effective it can be. I produce hypnosis and subliminal tapes and, in some of my seminars, I use conversion tactics to assist participants to become independent and self-sufficient. But, anytime I use these techniques, I point out that I am using them, and those attending have a choice to participate or not. They also know what the desired result of participation will be. So, to begin, I want to state the most basic of all facts about brainwashing: In the entire history of man, no one has ever been brainwashed and realized, or believed, that he had been brainwashed. Those who have been brainwashed will usually passionately defend their manipulators, claiming they have simply been "shown the light" . . . or have been transformed in miraculous ways. The Birth of Conversion CONVERSION is a "nice" word for BRAINWASHING and any study of brainwashing has to begin with a study of Christian revivalism in eighteenth century America. Apparently, Jonathan Edwards accidentally discovered the techniques during a religious crusade in 1735 in Northampton, Massachusetts. By inducing guilt and acute apprehension and by increasing the tension, the "sinners" attending his revival meetings would break down and completely submit. Technically, what Edwards was doing was creating conditions that wipe the brain slate clean so that the mind accepts new programming. The problem was that 1068

the new input was negative. He would tell them, "You're a sinner! You're destined for hell!" As a result, one person committed suicide and another attempted suicide. And the neighbors of the suicidal converts related that they, too, were affected so deeply that, although they had found "eternal salvation," they were obsessed with a diabolical temptation to end their own lives. Once a preacher, cult leader, manipulator or authority figure creates the brain phase to wipe the brain-slate clean, his subjects are wide open. New input, in the form of suggestion, can be substituted for their previous ideas. Because Edwards didn't turn his message positive until the end of the revival, many accepted the negative suggestions and acted, or desired to act, upon them. Charles J. Finney was another Christian revivalist who used the same techniques four years later in mass religious conversions in New York. The techniques are still being used today by Christian revivalists, cults, human-potential trainings, some business rallies, and the United States Armed Services . to name just a few. Let me point out here that I don't think most revivalist preachers realize or know they are using brainwashing techniques. Edwards simply stumbled upon a technique that really worked, and others copied it and have continued to copy it for over two hundred years. And the more sophisticated our knowledge and technology become, the more effective the conversion. I feel strongly that this is one of the major reasons for the increasing rise in Christian fundamentalism, especially the televised variety, while most of the orthodox religions are declining. The Three Brain Phases The Christians may have been the first to successfully formulate brainwashing, but we have to look to Pavlov, the Russian scientist, for a technical explanation. In the early 1900s, his work with animals opened the door to further investigations with humans. After the revolution in Russia, Lenin was quick to see the potential of applying Pavlov's research to his own ends. Three distinct and progressive states of transmarginal inhibition were identified by Pavlov. The first is the EQUIVALENT phase, in which the brain gives the same response to both strong and weak stimuli. The second is the PARADOXICAL phase, in which the brain responds more actively to weak stimuli than to strong. And the third is the ULTRAPARADOXICAL phase, in which conditioned responses and behavior patterns turn from positive to negative or from negative to positive. With the progression through each phase, the degree of conversion becomes more effective and complete. The way to achieve conversion are many and varied, but the usual first step in religious or political brainwashing is to work on the emotions of an individual or group until they reach an abnormal level of anger, fear, excitement, or nervous tension. The progressive result of this mental condition is to impair judgement and increase suggestibility. The more this condition can be maintained or intensified, the more it compounds. Once catharsis, or the first brain phase, is reached, the complete mental takeover becomes easier. Existing mental programming can be replaced with new patterns of thinking and behavior. Other often-used physiological weapons to modify normal brain functions are fasting, radical or high sugar diets, physical discomforts, regulation of breathing, mantra chanting in meditation, the disclosure of awesome mysteries, special lighting and sound effects, programed response to incense, or intoxicating drugs. The same results can be obtained in contemporary psychiatric treatment by electric shock treatments and even by purposely lowering a person's blood sugar level with insulin injections. Before I talk about exactly how some of the techniques are applied, I want to point out that hypnosis and conversion tactics are two distinctly different things, and that conversion 1069

techniques are far more powerful. However, the two are often mixed . . . with powerful results. How Revivalist Preachers Work If you'd like to see a revivalist preacher at work, there are probably several in your city. Go to the church or tent early and sit in the rear, about three-quarters of the way back. Most likely repetitive music will be played while the people come in for the service. A repetitive beat, ideally ranging from 45 to 72 beats per minute (a rhythm close to the beat of the human heart), is very hypnotic and can generate an eyes-open altered state of consciousness in a very high percentage of people. And, once you are in an alpha state (a relaxed state), you are at least 25 times as suggestible as you would be in full beta consciousness (a state of alertness). The music is probably the same for every service, or incorporates the same beat, and many of the people will go into an altered state almost immediately upon entering the sanctuary. Subconsciously, they recall their state of mind from previous services and respond according to the post-hypnotic programming. Watch the people waiting for the service to begin. Many will exhibit external signs of trancebody relaxation and slightly dilated eyes. Often, they begin swaying back and forth with their hands in the air while sitting in their chairs. Next, the assistant pastor will probably come out. He usually speaks with a pretty good "voice roll." Voice Roll Technique A "voice roll" is a patterned, paced style used by hypnotists when inducing a trance. It is also used by many lawyers, several of whom are highly trained hypnotists, when they desire to entrench a point firmly in the minds of the jurors. A voice roll can sound as if the speaker were talking to the beat of a metronome or it may sound as though he were emphasizing every word in a monotonous, patterned style. The words will usually be delivered at the rate of 45 to 60 beats per minute, maximizing the hypnotic effect. Now the assistant pastor begins the "build-up" process. He induces an altered state of consciousness and/or begins to generate the excitement and the expectations of the audience. Next, a group of young women in "sweet and pure" chiffon dresses might come out to sing a song. Gospel songs are great for building excitement and INVOLVEMENT. In the middle of the song, one of the girls might be "smitten by the spirit" and fall down or react as if possessed by the Holy Spirit. This very effectively increases the intensity in the room. At this point, hypnosis and conversion tactics are being mixed. And the result is the audience's attention span is now totally focused upon the communication while the environment becomes more exciting or tense. Right about this time, when an eyes-open mass-induced alpha mental state has been achieved, they will usually pass the collection plate or basket. In the background, a 45-beatper-minute voice roll from the assistant preacher might exhort, "Give to God . . . Give to God . . . Give to God . . ." And the audience does give. God may not get the money, but his already wealthy representative will. Next, the fire-and-brimstone preacher will come out. He induces fear and increases the tension by talking about "the devil," "going to hell," or the forthcoming Armegeddon. In the last such rally I attended, the preacher talked about the blood that would soon be running out of every faucet in the land. He was also obsessed with a "bloody axe of God," which everyone had seen hanging above the pulpit the previous week. I have no doubt that everyone saw it—the power of suggestion given to hundreds of people in hypnosis assures that at least 10 to 25 percent would see whatever he suggested they see. In most revivalist gatherings, "testifying" or "witnessing" usually follows the fearbased sermon. People from the audience come upon stage and relate their stories. "I was crippled and now I can walk!" "I had arthritis and now it's gone!" It is a psychological manipulation that works. After listening to numerous case histories of miraculous healings, the 1070

average guy in the audience with a minor problem is sure he can be healed. The room is charged with fear, guilt, intense excitement, and expectations. Now those who want to be healed are frequently lined up around the edge of the room, or they are told to come down to the front. The preacher might touch them on the head firmly and scream, "Be healed!" This releases the psychic energy and, for many, catharsis results. Catharsis is a purging of repressed emotions. Individuals might cry, fall down or even go into spasms. And if catharsis is affected, they stand a chance of being healed. In catharsis (one of the three brain phases mentioned earlier), the brain-slate is temporarily wiped clean and the new suggestion is accepted. For some, the healing may be permanent. For many, it will last four days to a week, which is, incidentally, how long a hypnotic suggestion given to a somnambulistic subject will usually last. Even if the healing doesn't last, if they come back every week, the power of suggestion may continually override the problem . . . or sometimes, sadly, it can mask a physical problem which could prove to be very detrimental to the individual in the long run. I'm not saying that legitimate healings do not take place. They do. Maybe the individual was ready to let go of the negativity that caused the problem in the first place; maybe it was the work of God. Yet I contend that it can be explained with existing knowledge of brain/mind function. The techniques and staging will vary from church to church. Many use "speaking in tongues" (known as glossolalia) to generate catharsis in some while the spectacle creates intense excitement in the observers. The use of hypnotic techniques by religions is sophisticated, and professionals are assuring that they become even more effective. A man in Los Angeles is designing, building, and reworking a lot of churches around the country. He tells ministers what they need and how to use it. This man's track record indicates that the congregation and the monetary income will double if the minister follows his instructions. He admits that about 80 percent of his efforts are in the sound system and lighting. Powerful sound and the proper use of lighting are of primary importance in inducing an altered state of consciousnessI've been using them for years in my own seminars. However, my participants are fully aware of the process and what they can expect as a result of their participation. Six Conversion Techniques Cults and human-potential organizations are always looking for new converts. To attain them, they must also create a brain-phase. And they often need to do it within a short space of time, a weekend, or maybe even a day. The following are the six primary techniques used to generate the conversion. The meeting or training takes place in an area where participants are cut off from the outside world. This may be any place: a private home, a remote or rural setting, or even a hotel ballroom where the participants are allowed only limited bathroom usage. In human-potential trainings, the controllers will give a lengthy talk about the importance of "keeping agreements" in life. The participants are told that if they don't keep agreements, their life will never work. It's a good idea to keep agreements, but the controllers are subverting a positive human value for selfish purposes. The participants vow to themselves and their trainer that they will keep their agreements. Anyone who does not will be intimidated into agreement or forced to leave. The next step is to agree to complete training, thus assuring a high percentage of conversions for the organizations. They will USUALLY have to agree not to take drugs, smoke, and sometimes not to eat or they are given such short meal breaks that it creates tension. The real reason for the agreements is to alter internal chemistry, which generates anxiety and hopefully causes at least a slight malfunction of the nervous system, which in turn increases the conversion potential. Before the gathering is complete, the agreements will be used to ensure that the new 1071

converts go out and find new participants. They are intimidated into agreeing to do so before they leave. Since the importance of keeping agreements is so high on their priority list, the converts will twist the arms of everyone they know, attempting to talk them into attending a free introductory session offered at a future date by the organization. The new converts are zealots. In fact, the inside term for merchandising the largest and most successful humanpotential training is, "sell it by zealot!" At least a million people are graduates and a good percentage have been left with a mental activation button that assures their future loyalty and assistance if the guru figure or organization calls. Think about the potential political implications of hundreds of thousands of zealots programmed to campaign for their guru. Be wary of an organization of this type that offers follow-up sessions after the seminar. Follow-up sessions might be weekly meetings or inexpensive seminars given on a regular basis which the organization will attempt to talk you into taking or any regularly scheduled event used to maintain control. As the early Christian revivalists found, long-term control is dependent upon a good follow-up system. Alright. Now, let's look at the second tip-off that indicates conversion tactics are being used. A schedule is maintained that causes physical and mental fatigue. This is primarily accomplished by long hours in which the participants are given no opportunity for relaxation or reflection. The third tip-off: techniques used to increase the tension in the room or environment. Number four: Uncertainty. I could spend hours relating various techniques to increase tension and generate uncertainty. Basically, the participants are concerned about being "put on the spot" or encountered by the trainers, guilt feelings are played upon, participants are tempted to verbally relate their innermost secrets to the other participants or forced to take part in activities that emphasize removing their masks. One of the most successful human-potential seminars forces the participants to stand on a stage in front of the entire audience while being verbally attacked by the trainers. A public opinion poll, conducted a few years ago, showed that the number one most-fearful situation an individual could encounter is to speak to an audience. It ranked above window washing outside the 85th floor of an office building. So you can imagine the fear and tension this situation generates within the participants. Many faint, but most cope with the stress by mentally going away. They literally go into an alpha state, which automatically makes them many times as suggestible as they normally are. And another loop of the downward spiral into conversion is successfully effected. The fifth clue that conversion tactics are being used is the introduction of jargon, new terms that have meaning only to the "insiders" who participate. Vicious language is also frequently used, purposely, to make participants uncomfortable. The final tip-off is that there is no humor in the communications at least until the participants are converted. Then, merry-making and humor are highly desirable as symbols of the new joy the participants have supposedly "found." I'm not saying that good does not result from participation in such gatherings. It can and does. But I contend it is important for people to know what has happened and to be aware that continual involvement may not be in their best interest. Over the years, I've conducted professional seminars to teach people to be hypnotists, trainers, and counselors. I've had many of those who conduct trainings and rallies come to me and say, "I'm here because I know that what I'm doing works, but I don't know why." After showing them how and why, many have gotten out of the business or have decided to approach it differently or in a much more loving and supportive manner. Many of these trainers have become personal friends, and it scares us all to have experienced the power of one person with a microphone and a room full of people. Add a little charisma and you can count on a high percentage of conversions. The sad truth is that a high percentage of people want to give away their power, they are true "believers"! 1072

Cult gatherings or human-potential trainings are an ideal environment to observe first-hand what is technically called the "Stockholm Syndrome." This is a situation in which those who are intimidated, controlled, or made to suffer, begin to love, admire, and even sometimes sexually desire their controllers or captors. But let me inject a word of warning here: If you think you can attend such gatherings and not be affected, you are probably wrong. A perfect example is the case of a woman who went to Haiti on a Guggenheim Fellowship to study Haitian Voodoo. In her report, she related how the music eventually induced uncontrollable bodily movement and an altered state of consciousness. Although she understood the process and thought herself above it, when she began to feel herself become vulnerable to the music, she attempted to fight it and turned away. Anger or resistance almost always assures conversion. A few moments later she was possessed by the music and began dancing in a trance around the Voodoo meeting house. A brain phase had been induced by the music and excitement, and she awoke feeling reborn. The only hope of attending such gatherings without being affected is to be a Buddha and allow no positive or negative emotions to surface. Few people are capable of such detachment. Before I go on, let's go back to the six tip-offs to conversion. I want to mention the United States Government and military boot camp. The Marine Corps talks about breaking men down before "rebuilding" them as new men as marines! Well, that is exactly what they do, the same way a cult breaks its people down and rebuilds them as happy flower sellers on your local street corner. Every one of the six conversion techniques are used in boot camp. Considering the needs of the military, I'm not making a judgement as to whether that is good or bad. IT IS A FACT that the men are effectively brainwashed. Those who won't submit must be discharged or spend much of their time in the brig. Decognition Process Once the initial conversion is effected, cults, armed services, and similar groups cannot have cynicism among their members. Members must respond to commands and do as they are told, otherwise they are dangerous to the organizational control. This is normally accomplished in a three step Decognition Process. Step One is ALERTNESS REDUCTION: The controllers cause the nervous system to malfunction, making it difficult to distinguish between fantasy and reality. This can be accomplished in several ways. POOR DIET is one; watch out for Brownies and Koolaid. The sugar throws the nervous system off. More subtle is the "SPIRITUAL DIET" used by many cults. They eat only vegetables and fruits; without the grounding of grains, nuts, seeds, dairy products, fish or meat, an individual becomes mentally "spacey." INADEQUATE SLEEP is another primary way to reduce alertness, especially when combined with long hours of work or intense physical activity. Also, being bombarded with intense and unique experiences achieves the same result. Step Two is PROGRAMED CONFUSION: You are mentally assaulted while your alertness is being reduced as in Step One. This is accomplished with a deluge of new information, lectures, discussion groups, encounters or one-to-one processing, which usually amounts to the controller bombarding the individual with questions. During this phase of decognition, reality and illusion often merge and perverted logic is likely to be accepted. Step Three is THOUGHT STOPPING: Techniques are used to cause the mind to go "flat." These are altered-state-of-consciousness techniques that initially induce calmness by giving the mind something simple to deal with and focusing awareness. The continued use brings on a feeling of elation and eventually hallucination. The result is the reduction of thought and eventually, if used long enough, the cessation of all thought and withdrawal from everyone and everything except that which the controllers direct. The takeover is then complete. It is important to be aware that when members or participants are instructed to use "thought-stopping" techniques, they are told that they will benefit by so doing: they will become "better soldiers" or "find enlightenment." 1073

There are three primary techniques used for thought stopping. The first is MARCHING: the thump, thump, thump beat literally generates self-hypnosis and thus great susceptibility to suggestion. The second thought stopping technique is MEDITATION. If you spend an hour to an hour and a half a day in meditation, after a few weeks, there is a great probability that you will not return to full beta consciousness. You will remain in a fixed state of alpha for as long as you continue to meditate. I'm not saying this is bad - if you do it yourself. It may be very beneficial. But it is a fact that you are causing your mind to go flat. I've worked with meditators on an EEG machine and the results are conclusive: the more you meditate, the flatter your mind becomes until, eventually and especially if used to excess or in combination with decognition, all thought ceases. Some spiritual groups see this as nirvana—which is bullshit. It is simply a predictable physiological result. And if heaven on earth is non-thinking and non-involvement, I really question why we are here. The third thought-stopping technique is CHANTING, and often chanting in meditation. "Speaking in tongues" could also be included in this category. All three-stopping techniques produce an altered state of consciousness. This may be very good if YOU are controlling the process, for you also control the input. I personally use at least one self-hypnosis programming session every day and I know how beneficial it is for me. But you need to know if you use these techniques to the degree of remaining continually in alpha that, although you'll be very mellow, you'll also be more suggestible. True Believers & Mass Movements Before ending this section on conversion, I want to talk about the people who are most susceptible to it and about Mass Movements. I am convinced that at least a third of the population is what Eric Hoffer calls "true believers." They are joiners and followers . . . people who want to give away their power. They look for answers, meaning, and enlightenment outside themselves. Hoffer, who wrote THE TRUE BELIEVER, a classic on mass movements, says, "true believers are not intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but are those craving to be rid of unwanted self. They are followers, not because of a desire for selfadvancement, but because it can satisfy their passion for self-renunciation!" Hoffer also says that true believers "are eternally incomplete and eternally insecure"! I know this from my own experience. In my years of communicating concepts and conducting trainings, I have run into them again and again. All I can do is attempt to show them that the only thing to seek is the True Self within. Their personal answers are to be found there and there alone. I communicate that the basics of spirituality are self-responsibility and self-actualization. But most of the true believers just tell me that I'm not spiritual and go looking for someone who will give them the dogma and structure they desire. Never underestimate the potential danger of these people. They can easily be moulded into fanatics who will gladly work and die for their holy cause. It is a substitute for their lost faith in themselves and offers them as a substitute for individual hope. The Moral Majority is made up of true believers. All cults are composed of true believers. You'll find them in politics, churches, businesses, and social cause groups. They are the fanatics in these organizations. Mass Movements will usually have a charismatic leader. The followers want to convert others to their way of living or impose a new way of life if necessary, by legislating laws forcing others to their view, as evidenced by the activities of the Moral Majority. This means enforcement by guns or punishment, for that is the bottomline in law enforcement. A common hatred, enemy, or devil is essential to the success of a mass movement. The Born-Again Christians have Satan himself, but that isn't enough they've added the occult, the New Age thinkers and, lately, all those who oppose their integration of church and politics, as evidenced in their political re-election campaigns against those who oppose their views. In revolutions, the devil is usually the ruling power or aristocracy. Some human-potential 1074

movements are far too clever to ask their graduates to join anything, thus labelling themselves as a cult but, if you look closely, you'll find that their devil is anyone and everyone who hasn't taken their training. There are mass movements without devils but they seldom attain major status. The True Believers are mentally unbalanced or insecure people, or those without hope or friends. People don't look for allies when they love, but they do when they hate or become obsessed with a cause. And those who desire a new life and a new order feel the old ways must be eliminated before the new order can be built. Persuasion Techniques Persuasion isn't technically brainwashing but it is the manipulation of the human mind by another individual, without the manipulated party being aware what caused his opinion shift. I only have time to very basically introduce you to a few of the thousands of techniques in use today, but the basis of persuasion is always to access your RIGHT BRAIN. The left half of your brain is analytical and rational. The right side is creative and imaginative. That is overly simplified but it makes my point. So, the idea is to distract the left brain and keep it busy. Ideally, the persuader generates an eyes-open altered state of consciousness, causing you to shift from beta awareness into alpha; this can be measured on an EEG machine. First, let me give you an example of distracting the left brain. Politicians use these powerful techniques all the time; lawyers use many variations which, I've been told, they call "tightening the noose." Assume for a moment that you are watching a politician give a speech. First, he might generate what is called a "YES SET." These are statements that will cause listeners to agree; they might even unknowingly nod their heads in agreement. Next come the TRUISMS. These are usually facts that could be debated but, once the politician has his audience agreeing, the odds are in the politician's favor that the audience won't stop to think for themselves, thus continuing to agree. Last comes the SUGGESTION. This is what the politician wants you to do and, since you have been agreeing all along, you could be persuaded to accept the suggestion. Now, if you'll listen closely to my political speech, you'll find that the first three are the "yes set," the next three are truisms and the last is the suggestion. "Ladies and gentlemen: are you angry about high food prices? Are you tired of astronomical gas prices? Are you sick of out-of-control inflation? Well, you know the Other Party allowed 18 percent inflation last year; you know crime has increased 50 percent nationwide in the last 12 months, and you know your paycheck hardly covers your expenses any more. Well, the answer to resolving these problems is to elect me, John Jones, to the U.S. Senate." And I think you've heard all that before. But you might also watch for what are called Imbedded Commands. As an example: On key words, the speaker would make a gesture with his left hand, which research has shown is more apt to access your right brain. Today's media-oriented politicians and spellbinders are often carefully trained by a whole new breed of specialist who are using every trick in the book, both old and new - to manipulate you into accepting their candidate. The concepts and techniques of Neuro-Linguistics are so heavily protected that I found out the hard way that to even talk about them publicly or in print results in threatened legal action. Yet Neuro-Linguistic training is readily available to anyone willing to devote the time and pay the price. It is some of the most subtle and powerful manipulation I have yet been exposed to. A good friend who recently attended a two-week seminar on NeuroLinguistics found that many of those she talked to during the breaks were government people. Another technique that I'm just learning about is unbelievably slippery; it is called an INTERSPERSAL TECHNIQUE and the idea is to say one thing with words but plant a subconscious impression of something else in the minds of the listeners and/or watchers. Let me give you an example: Assume you are watching a television commentator 1075

make the following statement: "SENATOR JOHNSON is assisting local authorities to clear up the stupid mistakes of companies contributing to the nuclear waste problems." It sounds like a statement of fact, but, if the speaker emphasizes the right word, and especially if he makes the proper hand gestures on the key words, you could be left with the subconscious impression that Senator Johnson is stupid. That was the subliminal goal of the statement and the speaker cannot be called to account for anything. Persuasion techniques are also frequently used on a much smaller scale with just as much effectiveness. The insurance salesman knows his pitch is likely to be much more effective if he can get you to visualize something in your mind. This is right-brain communication. For instance, he might pause in his conversation, look slowly around your living room and say, "Can you just imagine this beautiful home burning to the ground?" Of course you can! It is one of your unconscious fears and, when he forces you to visualize it, you are more likely to be manipulated into signing his insurance policy. The Hare Krishnas, operating in every airport, use what I call SHOCK AND CONFUSION techniques to distract the left brain and communicate directly with the right brain. While waiting for a plane, I once watched one operate for over an hour. He had a technique of almost jumping in front of someone. Initially, his voice was loud then dropped as he made his pitch to take a book and contribute money to the cause. Usually, when people are shocked, they immediately withdraw. In this case they were shocked by the strange appearance, sudden materialization and loud voice of the Hare Krishna devotee. In other words, the people went into an alpha state for security because they didn't want to confront the reality before them. In alpha, they were highly suggestible so they responded to the suggestion of taking the book; the moment they took the book, they felt guilty and responded to the second suggestion: give money. We are all conditioned that if someone gives us something, we have to give them something in return, in that case, it was money. While watching this hustler, I was close enough to notice that many of the people he stopped exhibited an outward sign of alpha, their eyes were actually dilated. Subliminal Programming Subliminals are hidden suggestions that only your subconscious perceives. They can be audio, hidden behind music, or visual, airbrushed into a picture, flashed on a screen so fast that you don't consciously see them, or cleverly incorporated into a picture or design. Most audio subliminal reprogramming tapes offer verbal suggestions recorded at a low volume. I question the efficacy of this technique if subliminals are not perceptible, they cannot be effective, and subliminals recorded below the audible threshold are therefore useless. The oldest audio subliminal technique uses a voice that follows the volume of the music so subliminals are impossible to detect without a parametric equalizer. But this technique is patented and, when I wanted to develop my own line of subliminal audiocassettes, negotiations with the patent holder proved to be unsatisfactory. My attorney obtained copies of the patents which I gave to some talented Hollywood sound engineers, asking them to create a new technique. They found a way to psycho-acoustically modify and synthesize the suggestions so that they are projected in the same chord and frequency as the music, thus giving them the effect of being part of the music. But we found that in using this technique, there is no way to reduce various frequencies to detect the subliminals. In other words, although the suggestions are being heard by the subconscious mind, they cannot be monitored with even the most sophisticated equipment. If we were able to come up with this technique as easily as we did, I can only imagine how sophisticated the technology has become, with unlimited government or advertising funding. And I shudder to think about the propaganda and commercial manipulation that we are exposed to on a daily basis. There is simply no way to know what is behind the music you hear. It may even be possible to hide a second voice behind the voice to which you are listening. The series by Wilson Bryan Key, Ph.D., on subliminals in advertising 1076

and political campaigns well documents the misuse in many areas, especially printed advertising in newspapers, magazines, and posters. The big question about subliminals is: do they work? And I guarantee you they do. Not only from the response of those who have used my tapes, but from the results of such programs as the subliminals behind the music in department stores. Supposedly, the only message is instructions to not steal: one East Coast department store chain reported a 37 percent reduction in thefts in the first nine months of testing. A 1984 article in the technical newsletter, "Brain-Mind Bulletin," states that as much as 99 percent of our cognitive activity may be "non-conscious," according to the director of the Laboratory for Cognitive Psychophysiology at the University of Illinois. The lengthy report ends with the statement, "these findings support the use of subliminal approaches such as taped suggestions for weight loss and the therapeutic use of hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming." Mass Misuse I could relate many stories that support subliminal programming, but I'd rather use my time to make you aware of even more subtle uses of such programming. I have personally experienced sitting in a Los Angeles auditorium with over ten thousand people who were gathered to listen to a current charismatic figure. Twenty minutes after entering the auditorium, I became aware that I was going in and out of an altered state. Those accompanying me experienced the same thing. Since it is our business, we were aware of what was happening, but those around us were not. By careful observation, what appeared to be spontaneous demonstrations were, in fact, artful manipulations. The only way I could figure that the eyes-open trance had been induced was that a 6- to 7-cycle-per- second vibration was being piped into the room behind the air conditioner sound. That particular vibration generates alpha, which would render the audience highly susceptible. Ten to 25 percent of the population is capable of a somnambulistic level of altered states of consciousness; for these people, the suggestions of the speaker, if non-threatening, could potentially be accepted as "commands." Vibrato This leads to the mention of VIBRATO. Vibrato is the tremulous effect imparted in some vocal or instrumental music, and the cyle-per-second range causes people to go into an altered state of consciousness. At one period of English history, singers whose voices contained pronounced vibrato were not allowed to perform publicly because listeners would go into an altered state and have fantasies, often sexual in nature. People who attend opera or enjoy listening to singers like Mario Lanza are familiar with this altered state induced by the performers. Extra Low Frequencies Now, let's carry this awareness a little farther. There are also inaudible ELFs (extralow frequency waves). These are electromagnetic in nature. One of the primary uses of ELFs is to communicate with our submarines. Dr. Andrija Puharich, a highly respected researcher, in an attempt to warn U.S. officials about Russian use of ELFs, set up an experiment. Volunteers were wired so their brain waves could be measured on an EEG. They were sealed in a metal room that could not be penetrated by a normal signal. Puharich then beamed ELF waves at the volunteers. ELFs go right through the earth and, of course, right through metal walls. Those inside couldn't know if the signal was or was not being sent. And Puharich watched the reactions on the technical equipment: 30 percent of those inside the room were taken over by the ELF signal in six to ten seconds. 1077

When I say "taken over," I mean that their behavior followed the changes anticipated at very precise frequencies. Waves below 6 cycles per second caused the subjects to become very emotionally upset, and even disrupted bodily functions. At 8.2 cycles, they felt very high... an elevated feeling, as though they had been in masterful meditation, learned over a period of years. Eleven to 11.3 cycles induced waves of depressed agitation leading to riotous behavior. The Neurophone Dr. Patrick Flanagan is a personal friend of mine. In the early 1960s, as a teenager, Pat was listed as one of the top scientists in the world by "Life" magazine. Among his many inventions was a device he called the Neurophonean electronic instrument that can successfully program suggestions directly through contact with the skin. When he attempted to patent the device, the government demanded that he prove it worked. When he did, the National Security Agency confiscated the neurophone. It took Pat two years of legal battle to get his invention back. In using the device, you don't hear or see a thing; it is applied to the skin, which Pat claims is the source of special senses. The skin contains more sensors for heat, touch, pain, vibration, and electrical fields than any other part of the human anatomy. In one of his recent tests, Pat conducted two identical seminars for a military audience one seminar one night and one the next night, because the size of the room was not large enough to accommodate all of them at one time. When the first group proved to be very cool and unwilling to respond, Patrick spent the next day making a special tape to play at the second seminar. The tape instructed the audience to be extremely warm and responsive and for their hands to become "tingly." The tape was played through the neurophone, which was connected to a wire he placed along the ceiling of the room. There were no speakers, so no sound could be heard, yet the message was successfully transmitted from that wire directly into the brains of the audience. They were warm and receptive, their hands tingled and they responded, according to programming, in other ways that I cannot mention here. The more we find out about how human beings work through todays highly advanced technological research, the more we learn to control human beings. And what probably scares me the most is that the medium for takeover is already in place! The television set in your living room and bedroom is doing a lot more than just entertaining you. Before I continue, let me point out something else about an altered state of consciousness. When you go into an altered state, you transfer into right brain, which results in the internal release of the body's own opiates: enkephalins and Beta-endorphins, chemically almost identical to opium. In other words, it feels good . . . and you want to come back for more. Recent tests by researcher Herbert Krugman showed that, while viewers were watching TV, right-brain activity outnumbered left-brain activity by a ratio of two to one. Put more simply, the viewers were in an altered state . . . in trance more often than not. They were getting their Beta-endorphin "fix." To measure attention spans, psychophysiologist Thomas Mulholland of the Veterans Hospital in Bedford, Massachusetts, attached young viewers to an EEG machine that was wired to shut the TV set off whenever the children's brains produced a majority of alpha waves. Although the children were told to concentrate, only a few could keep the set on for more than 30 seconds! Most viewers are already hypnotized. To deepen the trance is easy. One simple way is to place a blank, black frame every 32 frames in the film that is being projected. This creates a 45-beat-per-minute pulsation perceived only by the subconscious mind—the ideal pace to generate deep hypnosis. The commercials or suggestions presented following this alpha-inducing broadcast are much more likely to be accepted by the viewer. The high percentage of the viewing 1078

audience that has somnambulistic- depth ability could very well accept the suggestions as commands as long as those commands did not ask the viewer to do something contrary to his morals, religion, or self-preservation. The medium for takeover is here. By the age of 16, children have spent 10,000 to 15,000 hours watching television, that is more time than they spend in school! In the average home, the TV set is on for six hours and 44 minutes per day—an increase of nine minutes from last year and three times the average rate of increase during the 1970s. It obviously isn't getting better . . . we are rapidly moving into an alpha-level world, very possibly the Orwellian world of "1984," placid, glassy-eyed, and responding obediently to instructions. A research project by Jacob Jacoby, a Purdue University psychologist, found that of 2,700 people tested, 90 percent misunderstood even such simple viewing fare as commercials and "Barnaby Jones." Only minutes after watching, the typical viewer missed 23 to 36 percent of the questions about what he or she had seen. Of course they did, they were going in and out of trance! If you go into a deep trance, you must be instructed to remember, otherwise you automatically forget. I have just touched the tip of the iceberg. When you start to combine subliminal messages behind the music, subliminal visuals projected on the screen, hypnotically produced visual effects, sustained musical beats at a trance-inducing pace . . . you have extremely effective brainwashing. Every hour that you spend watching the TV set you become more conditioned. And, in case you thought there was a law against any of these things, guess again. There isn't! There are a lot of powerful people who obviously prefer things exactly the way they are. Maybe they have plans for us?

Appendix H Atlantic City Conference From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The Atlantic City Conference held in 1930 was a historic summit of leaders of organized crime in the United States. It is considered by most crime historians to be the earliest organized crime summit held in the US. The conference had a major impact on the future direction of the criminal underworld and it held more importance and significance than the Havana Conference of 1946 and the Apalachin meeting of 1957. It also represented the first concrete move toward a National Crime Syndicate. Crime leaders at the conference allegedly discussed the violent bootleg wars in New York and Chicago, systematic elimination of various Irish-American gangsters presently dominating underworld activities and influencing politics in the largest cities across US, diversification and investment into legal liquor ventures, expansion of illegal operations to offset profit loss from the probable repeal of Prohibition, and reorganization and consolidation of the underworld into a National Crime Syndicate. The conference Jewish crime Boss Meyer Lansky was married in early May 1929 and his closest underworld friends concluded that the resort town of Atlantic City, New Jersey would be an ideal place to have his honeymoon and hold the conference, allowing Lansky to mix pleasure and business, along with the rest of the Bosses. The date and place was set for the weekend of May 13–May 16, making the conference the first known underworld summit of its kind, which could be considered the first concrete move towards establishing the National Crime Syndicate that eventually controlled all major criminal activities across the United States. The Atlantic City Conference was said to be hosted by John Torrio, Charlie "Lucky" Luciano, Frank Costello and Meyer Lansky, depending on who you ask. The old world leaders or "Mustache Petes" from New York, Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano, were not invited, as well as future underworld power Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonanno since he was Maranzano's top lieutenant at the time. The list of crime leaders who were invited to attend the conference read like a who's who of the Prohibition era and the future of organized crime. The host of the conference was powerful, Atlantic City and South Jersey crime Boss, Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, who provided the hotel accommodations, food and entertainment for all, while making a guarantee of no police interference. Of course the largest delegation in the conference came from the New York/New Jersey area and included Bosses John "The Fox" Torrio, formerly of Chicago, Charlie "Lucky" Luciano, Frank Costello, Giuseppe "Joe Adonis" Doto and Vito Genovese, all top members of Manhattan's powerful Masseria Family, Albert "The Mad Hatter" Anastasia, Frank "Cheech" Scalise and Vincent Mangano, from the D'Aquila/Mineo Family of Manhattan, Gaetano "Tommy Brown" Lucchese, represented the Reina Family out of the Bronx, Quarico "Willie Moore" Moretti, represented the Masseria Family's Newark, New Jersey interests, Meyer "The Brain" Lansky and Benny "Bugsy" Siegel, Bosses of the Bugs and Meyer Mob, who protected liquor shipments in the New York/New Jersey areas, Louis "Lepke" Buchalter and Jacob "Gurrah" Shapiro, considered the underworld's "Rockefellers" and also known as the "Gorilla Boys", Abner "Longy" Zwillman, also representing Newark, New Jersey, Dutch Schultz, Bronx beer baron and Harlem numbers king, Owen "Owney the Killer" Madden, Boss of Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen and the Irish Combine, Frank Erickson, former Rothstein Lt., Costello associate and future bookmaking kingpin. Chicago was represented by Alphonse "Scarface" Capone, Frank "The Enforcer" Nitti, Jake "Greasy Thumb" Guzik, Frank "Frank Cline" Rio, top members of the South Side 1080

Capone Gang and representing Mid West interests, Capone body guard and only one of two Irish gangsters present Frank McErlane of the South Side Saltis/McErlane Gang. From Philadelphia came the top Jewish Bosses, Irving "Waxey Gordon" Wexler, Harry "Nig Rosen" Stromberg, Max "Boo Boo" Hoff, Irving "Bitzy" Bitz and Charles Schwartz. From Cleveland came the "Little Jewish Navy" of Morris "Moe" Dalitz and Louis "Lou Roddy" Rothkopf, along with adopted Polizzi Family member, Leo "Charles Polizzi" Berkowitz who represented "Little Italy's", "Mayfield Road Mob". The feared Purple Gang of Detroit was represented by brothers Abe and William Joseph "Bugs Bill" Bernstein. Boston's most prominent bootlegger, Charles "King" Solomon was present, while Kansas City's "Balestrere Gang" and the "Pendergast Machine" were represented by Boss John Lazia. Delegations from Florida and Louisiana were also present at the time, which would most likely be, Luciano and Costello allies, Santo Trafficante, Sr. of Tampa and Sylvestro "Silver Dollar Sam" Carolla of New Orleans. Two of the underworld's most powerful leaders, Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano of New York were not invited. The old guard or "Mustache Petes" maintained traditional old world ideals and business practices that restricted them from working with other ethnic gangs outside of the Italian underworld, this was counter to the ideals and principles that the leaders, such as Luciano and Torrio wished to express to the other delegates in Atlantic City. At the time of the conference, future underworld power, Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonanno was Maranzano's top Lt. and aide and was not invited to Atlantic City, but he would soon become one of the architects of the "National Crime Syndicate" and the La Cosa Nostra Commission. The conference started off with a bit of an embarrassing incident for some of those invited who tried to check into the first hotel Nucky Johnson had them registered at. Johnson had registered them at the exclusive Atlantic City Breakers Hotel along the Boardwalk, which was restricted to white Anglo-Saxon Protestants, and Nucky had used proper Anglo-Saxon aliases for the guests. (Ironically, in later years, the Breakers Hotel catered to a mainly Jewish clientele, becoming known as "The Aristocrat of Kosher Hotels".) Once the hotel's management got a look at some of the guests who were trying to check in, the aliases didn't match the Italian and Jewish faces staring at the management and they delegates were refused admittance in to the hotel, the manager not knowing who he was refusing. By this time Johnson had heard about the problem and rushed over to the hotel to take care of the situation. Al Capone being himself screamed at Nucky Johnson for not making the proper arrangements and a loud argument ensued between the two gangsters while the others watched and hoped they would not come to blows. Suddenly Johnson who was taller and heavier than Capone shoved him into a limousine and ordered every one to follow him. They headed for the RitzCarlton and Ambassador Hotels and when Capone reached the hotel he ripped several framed paintings and photos off the walls of the hotel and started to throw them at Nucky Johnson. The others concentrated on keeping Al Capone calm and quiet for the time being. For the first three days there were a constant round of parties at the hotels with Nucky Johnson supplying plenty of liquor, food and girls for entertainment. For the guests who brought their wives or girlfriends, Johnson provided the women with fur capes as gifts. Meyer Lansky who was the new bride groom and guest of honor received the Presidential suite at the Ritz Hotel, with a constant supply of champagne for him and his wife Anna. There were several important items to discuss among the Bosses and attendees such as constant competition for imported and bootleg liquor profits among the gangs, what to do about the liquor business if or when Prohibition ends, greater investment in gambling operations and what to do about the Chicago and Irish problems. As would be expected with sharply dressed gangsters from around the United States, the Atlantic City delegates conducted their more serious discussions and business, privately in conference rooms atop the Ritz and Ambassador Hotels, but not all the meetings were held in a room around a long table, some discussions were had out in the open, with the delegates taking their socks off and rolling up, their pants for walks along the beach, on the sand and in the open air. This made 1081

the Conference no great secret, with local newspapers carrying photos of Al Capone and some of the other prominent delegates as they cruised down the boardwalk and beaches, dipping their feet into the water. Important decisions were made to stop competing with each other during the remainder of Prohibition and cooperate in pooling their resources to maximize profits and develop a national monopoly in the illegal liquor business. One of the most important discussions was what to do when Prohibition ends. The Bosses decided to reorganize themselves and their gangs into cooperative organizations, investing in legitimate breweries, distilleries and liquor importation franchises. By making investments in the legitimate liquor business and by owning nightclubs, bars and restaurants to distribute the liquor and maximize profits, this gave the Syndicate some security against the repeal of Prohibition. The delegates held discussions about taking a larger interest in illegal and cooperative gambling activities such as bookmaking, horse racing and casinos. The New York and Chicago representatives laid out a plan to tie in the national wire service for horse racing bettors with the Daily Racing Form and to lay off bets throughout the United States. This idea was introduced to the conference delegates after Al Capone ran into Chicago's Moses Annenberg** who controlled the mob that enforced distribution of William R. Hearst's newspapers in the Chicago area. The Families in New York and Chicago would oversee and direct operations for this cooperative and very lucrative venture. New York Bosses, Frank Costello and Meyer Lansky were chosen as directors to coordinate the operations along with Chicago representatives. New York's future layoff king and gambling czar Frank Erickson was chosen to oversee the organization of the operation along with Chicago's Moses Annenberg. Chicago businessman and underworld associate Moses Annenberg was not originally invited to the conference, but after running into Capone, the well known Annenberg was most likely invited to confer with the leaders on business matters concerning the national race wire. It was agreed by the conference delegates that investments in the legitimate liquor business and gambling was the way to offset the loss of profits from the end of Prohibition and discussions to divide the country into exclusive franchises and territories for the Bosses and their gangs were started at the Atlantic City Conference. Another important topic was the ongoing violence and bloodletting that was occurring in Chicago. The underworld wars in Chicago and to some extent New York, had brought about a public and media outcry on law enforcement to stop the violence. There had been added media and law enforcement attention and this was placing pressure on underworld rackets and operations around the country. Most of the pressure was mainly due to the recent St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago. With former Al Capone Boss and mentor Johnny Torrio taking the lead and Charlie "Lucky" Luciano and the other delegates backing him up, Capone was chosen as a sacrificial lamb to ease the heat brought on the underworld and its leaders. Al Capone was convinced after much debate and refusal to allow himself to be arrested on a minor charge and sent to prison for a short period of time, deflecting the media and law enforcement pressure for the good of the whole underworld. After the conference was concluded, Chicago underworld Boss Al Capone and his bodyguard Frank Rio went to Philadelphia where two friendly cops arrested and charged them with carrying a gun. Al Capone and Frank Rio were sentenced to a year in prison, but were released and back in Chicago after several months. The future of organized crime Before the end of the conference, emphasis was laid on the fact that all of the future plans and operations had to be appropriated and administered peacefully among the country's Bosses and criminal organizations, avoiding the sort of violent conflicts that had plagued the underworld in the past. The highly successful "Big Seven Group" was used as a model of future organization and peace for the new "National Syndicate". New York Bosses, Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano, were two old guard mafiosi who held a lot 1082

of power and influence nationally and could not be taken lightly. The two major underworld powers were ready to square off in a war, which was seen as running counter to the organizational plans for the future the Atlantic City delegates had agreed upon. The leaders that attended the conference all agreed that to continue with the Syndicate's future plans, the old guard or "Mustache Petes" would have to be eliminated eventually. It was understood that New York's Charlie Luciano and Meyer Lansky group, along with their alliance of up and coming "Young Turks" would have to deal with the old line Bosses once the time was right. The new national alliance or Syndicate in Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia and elsewhere would back up the New York forces through removal of the old guard in their areas if need be. It was clear to the delegates at the Atlantic City Conference that Charlie "Lucky" Luciano was a leader who commanded great respect and would eventually become first among equals in the Syndicate. Underworld leaders such as Charlie Luciano, Johnny Torrio, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky and Arnold Rothstein were men of the same ideology and vision, who saw the future of crime in organization and cooperation. They led America's most powerful criminals with innovation and determination and laid the foundations for the National Syndicate and its long reign over the underworld, which was started with the Atlantic City Conference in 1930. Atlantic City delegates The terms Capo and Consigliere were not used until Salvatore Maranzano labeled the Italian underworld Cosa Nostra in 1931, the terms Lieutenant and Advisor were more common at the time, except with the Maranzano Family, (future Bonanno crime family) which had already been following the strict Cosa Nostra traditions of their native Sicily. The position of Consigliere did not exist until Charlie "Lucky" Luciano became the defacto first amongst equals in La Cosa Nostra and added the position to the Family hierarchy in 1931, when he formed the Commission.

Kennedy, Joseph P. Kennedy was allegedly a leading Prohibition era rum runner and whisky baron in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York. Kennedy made his legitimate millions in banking, real estate and the Hollywood movie business, but he was an alleged associate of gangsters Bill Dwyer, Owney Madden, Danny Walsh, Frank Costello, Al Capone and is also mentioned in Joseph Bonanno's book, "A Man of Honor". In recent years information on Joseph Kennedy has been leaked to the media and various investigative reporters linking him to these gangsters, exposing his Prohibition operations. It is alleged that he did business with Dywer, Madden and Costello's New York Combine, their regional offshoot in Providence run by Danny Walsh and with Al Capone's Chicago organization. Kennedy was not a bootlegger, per se, but an importer and wholesaler, who purchased large quantities of alcohol from England and Canada and facilitated its shipment. After the booze was purchased, it was usually transferred from Nova Scotia to the eastern seaboard, where it was off-loaded under cover of darkness along the Massachusetts or Rhode Island coastline or somewhere in Long Island, New York. The crime syndicates or gangs and their bootleggers would take over from there, making Joseph P. Kennedy and his family very rich. It is alleged that Kennedy kept his associations with the underworld all through his life, becoming the middleman between the underworld and political worlds of Massachusetts and New York, using the underworld's connections to labor unions for business and political purposes. Joseph P. Kennedy's most famous act was getting the Chicago and New York underworlds to assist in the election of his son John F. Kennedy to the Presidency of the United States by having the underworld solicit votes and support from the labor unions, politicians and prominent community members all under the mobs influence.

He was a leading group leader within the New Orleans mafia who was considered by many Mob historians to be street boss of the old Matranga faction and possibly acting boss of the New Orleans crime family at this time. The New Orleans crime family was very autonomous throughout its history and shown much respect by affiliate mafia groups due to it being the oldest mafia family in America. Corallo was the leading bootlegger in his territory or area and had dealings with certain east coast bosses and rumor was he had been approached by Luciano to support his eventual coup against the old guard leaders within the mafia, but there is no solid or concrete proof of any kind that Corallo was present. ^ Fopiano, p. 11 **Moses Annenberg From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1085

Moses "Moe" Louis Annenberg (February 11, 1877 – July 20, 1942) was a Jewish American newspaper publisher, who purchased The Philadelphia Inquirer, the third-oldest surviving daily newspaper in the United States in 1936. The Inquirer has the sixteenth largest average weekday U.S. newspaper circulation, and has won eighteen Pulitzer Prizes. Annenberg began his career as a Chicago newspaper salesman for the Hearst Corporation. He eventually built a fortune and the successful publishing company that became Triangle Publications, Inc. During the Roosevelt administration, he was indicted for tax evasion and, after pleading guilty, was sentenced to three years. In 1942, shortly after being released, Annenberg died at age 65. Several sources have documented his links to organized crime, such as his involvement in Chicago's "Circulation Wars" and his later ownership of the National Racing Wire, though it is widely under reported. He and his wife, Sadie, were the parents of the publisher and philanthropist, Walter Annenberg.*** ***Walter Annenberg From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia United States Ambassadors to the United Kingdom In 1969–1974 President Preceded by Succeeded by Personal details

Born

Early life Walter Annenberg was born to a Jewish family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 13, 1908. He was the son of Sarah and Moses "Moe" Annenberg, who published The Daily Racing Form and purchased The Philadelphia Inquirer in 1936. The Annenberg family moved to Long Island, New York in 1920, and Walter attended high school at the Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey, graduating in 1927. He went on to college at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, not graduating. While in college he was a member of Zeta Beta Tau, a traditionally Jewish fraternity. Annenberg was greatly affected by tax evasion charges and other scandals that 1086

involved his father in the 1930s. A significant part of his adult life was dedicated to rehabilitating the family's name, through philanthropy and public service. Business life In 1942, after his father's death, Annenberg took over the family businesses, making successes out of some that had been failing. He bought additional print media as well as radio and television stations, resulting in great success. One of his most prominent successes was the creation of TV Guide in 1952, which he started against the advice of his financial advisers. He also created Seventeen magazine. During the 1970s TV Guide was making between $600,000 – $1,000,000 profit per week. Philanthropy and later life Even while an active businessman, Annenberg had an interest in public service. In 1953, he became one of the founding trustees of Eisenhower Fellowships. After Richard M. Nixon was elected President, he appointed Annenberg as ambassador to the Court of St. James's in the United Kingdom. In 1969, under pressure after the Shapp controversy, Annenberg sold The Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News, which he bought in 1957, to Knight Newspapers for US$55 million. After being appointed as ambassador, he became quite popular in Britain, eventually being made an honorary knight of the Order of the British Empire (KBE). Annenberg led a lavish lifestyle. His "Sunnylands" winter estate in Rancho Mirage, California (near Palm Springs) hosted gatherings with such people as President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan, Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Charles, Prince of Wales and the late Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It was Annenberg who introduced President Reagan to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and the Reagans often celebrated New Year's Eve with the Annenbergs. Leonore Annenberg was named by President Ronald Reagan as the State Department's Chief of Protocol as well. Sunnylands covers 400 acres (1.6 km2) guard-gated on a 650-acre (2.6 km2) parcel surrounded by a stucco wall at the northwest corner of Frank Sinatra Drive and Bob Hope Drive; the property includes a golf course. Annenberg established the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California. He became a champion of public television, acquiring many awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Reagan, the Linus Pauling Medal for Humanitarianism, the 1988 Eisenhower Medal for Leadership and Service and was named an Officer of the French Legion of Honor. In 1989, he established the Annenberg Foundation, and 1993, created the Annenberg Challenge, a US$500 million, five-year reform effort and the largest single gift ever made to American public education. In 1993, he and his wife, Leonore, were awarded the National Medal of Arts. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (founded in 1780 A.D. by a number of Illuminus American Revolutionary warriors and statemen) in 1995. He sold TV Guide, Seventeen, and a few other publications to Australian publishing magnate Rupert Murdoch in 1988 for US$3 billion, announcing that he would devote the rest of his life to philanthropy. During his lifetime, it is estimated that Annenberg donated over US$2 billion. "Education...", he once said, "holds civilization together". Many school buildings, libraries, theaters, hospitals, and museums across the United States now bear his name. His collection of French impressionist art was valued at approximately US$1 billion in 1991 and was donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City upon his death in 2002. In 1990, he donated $50 million to the United Negro College Fund which was the largest amount ever contributed to the organization. Personal life 1087

Annenberg's first marriage, to Veronica Dunkelman, ended in divorce in 1950 after eleven years together. While married, Dunkelman and Annenberg had two children: a daughter, Wallis, and son, Roger. Roger committed suicide in 1962; to commemorate his death, Harvard University, where Roger was a student at the time, now has a Roger Annenberg Hall named in his honor. Annenberg's 1951 marriage to his second wife, Leonore "Lee" Cohn, was, by all accounts, a lasting and fulfilling relationship. Lee was a niece of Harry Cohn, founder and successful mogul of Columbia Pictures.

Appendix J “We may fitly end this short review of the early days (of the history of Spiritualism) in America by an event where spirit intervention proved to be of importance in the world’s history. This was the instance of the inspired messages which determined the action of Abraham Lincoln at the supreme moment of the civil war. The facts are beyond dispute, and are given with the corroborative evidence in Mrs. Maynard’s book on Abraham Lincoln.** Mrs. Maynard’s maiden name was Nettie Colburn, and she was herself the heroine of the story (** See Was Abraham Lincoln a Spiritualist?: Curious Revelations from the Life of a Trance Medium). The young lady was a powerful trance medium, and she visited Washington in the winter of 1862 in order to see her brother who was in the hospital of the federal army. Mrs. Lincoln, the wife of the president, who was interested in Spiritualism, had a sitting with Miss Colburn, was enormously impressed by the result, and sent a carriage next day to bring the medium to see the president. She describes the kindly way in which the great man received her in the parlour of the White House, and mentions the names of those who were present. She sat down, passed into the usual trance, and remembered no more. She continued thus: for more than an hour I was made to talk to him, and I learned from my friends afterwards that it was upon matters that he seemed fully to understand, while they comprehended very little until that portion was reached that related to the forthcoming Emancipation Proclamation. He was charged with the utmost solemnity and force of manner not to abate the terms of its issue and not to delay its enforcement as a law beyond the opening of the year; and he was assured that it was to be the crowning event of his administration and his life; and that while he was being counseled by strong parties to defer the enforcement of it, hoping to supplant it by other measures and to delay action, he must in no wise heed such counsel, but stand firm to his convictions and fearlessly perform the work and fulfill the mission for which he had been raised up by an overruling providence. Those present declared that they lost sight of the timid girl in the majesty of the utterance, the strength and force of the language, and the importance of that which was conveyed, and seemed to realize that some strong masculine spirit force was giving speech to almost divine commands. I shall never forget the scene around me when I regained consciousness. I was standing in front of Mr. Lincoln, and he was sitting back in his chair, with his arms folded upon his breast, looking intently at me. I stepped back, naturally confused at the situation—not remembering at once where I was; and glancing around the group where perfect silence reigned. It took me a moment to remember my whereabouts. A gentleman present then said in a low tone, ‘Mr. President, did you notice anything peculiar in the method of address?’ Mr. Lincoln raised himself, as if shaking off his spell. He glanced quickly at the full-length portrait of Daniel Webster that hung above the piano, and replied: ‘Yes, and it is very singular, very’ with a marked emphasis. Mr. Somas said: ‘Mr. President, would it be improper for me to inquire whether there has been any pressure brought to bear upon you to defer the enforcement of the proclamation?’ to which the president replied ‘under these circumstances that question is perfectly proper, as we are all friends.’ (smiling upon the company). ‘It is taking all my nerve and strength to withstand such a pressure.’ At this point the gentlemen drew around him and spoke together in low tones, Mr. Lincoln saying least of all. At last he turned to me, and laying his hand upon my head, uttered these words in a manner I shall never forget. ‘My child, you possess a very singular gift, but that it is of God I have no doubt. I thank you for coming here tonight. It is more important than perhaps anyone present can understand. I must leave you all now, but I hope I shall see you again.’ He shook me kindly by the hand, bowed to the rest of the company, and was gone. We remained an hour longer, talking with Mrs. Lincoln and her friends, and then returned to Georgetown. Such was my first interview with Abraham Lincoln, and the memory of it is as clear and vivid as the evening on which it occurred. This was one of the most important instances in the history of Spiritualism, and may also have been one of the most important in the history of the United States, as it not only strengthened the president in taking a step which raised the whole moral tone of the Northern Armies and put something of the crusading spirit into the men, but a 1090

subsequent message urged Lincoln to visit the camps, which he did with the best effect upon the morale of the army. And yet the reader might, I fear, search every history of the great struggle and every life of the president without finding a mention of this vital episode. It is all part of that unfair treatment which spiritualism has endured so long.”- The History of Spiritualism in America Vol. I Chapter 6 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1926 A.D.
